Chapter 0117: A Glimpse
Out of the Great Internal Confinement, Zhang Yue summoned his own soldiers and rode all the way home, just in time for lunch. The weather was still very hot at the beginning of August, Zhang Yue took a nap, changed into a black civilian clothes after bathing, and didn't want to go out again, so he went to the study to take a look, it was still a little simple, but the bookshelves were full of books, which were probably added by Yang Junping.
There was a cabinet near the bookshelf behind the table, Zhang Yue took out the key to open the copper lock, and the cabinet was full of account books and the family's daily income and expenditure accounts. There are also the suburbs of Tokyo, and the title deeds of the grange in Zhongmu, Zhengzhou. As for the field industry in Tangzhou, Yuezhou and other places, it will be turned into commercial use in the future, and there are fields near Tokyo, and he is already a rich man.
At this moment, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the door, and the soft laughter of the women came. Yang Junping appeared at the door, she looked inside, hesitated, but walked in and sat across from the table. Ge Wanqiu held a small round tray in her hand, served two cups of tea, and stood behind Yang Junping, peeking at Zhang Yue.
"Good account! You've done a great job! Zhang Yue closed the account book and said with a smile. In fact, this account is a bit messy, and some of it is sorted out by Han Sheng, but it is generally a flowing account these years. Although the four-pillar settlement method appeared in the Middle Tang Dynasty, it is not very mature, and there are not many people who can really use it proficiently.
"You know we're working hard! I came back empty-handed, and people thought you had brought us some good gifts! Yang Junping said angrily.
"Hey...... Isn't this a noble person who forgets things! Zhang Yue laughed, and looked at Ge Wanqiu behind Yang Junping, this little lady was in good shape, Tingting was standing there with low eyebrows, her hands wringing handkerchiefs, looking bored, but her eyes kept rolling on herself.
Yang Junping felt Zhang Yue's hot gaze, and felt a burst of annoyance in her heart, people are here, but you look at her, wink and laugh playfully: "Then you are free now, you have to compensate us!" ”
"How to compensate? The lady doesn't think I'm very handsome now, and she wants to eat me! Zhang Yue said very burnishly, and his eyes began to turn evil.
When the two women heard this, they both laughed, and Ge Wanqiu turned away with a red face, but she didn't walk away. Yang Junping glanced at him, her light anger was charming, and she said ashamedly: "Where do you think of it?" We want to go to Xiangguosi Front Street, and there is Gulou Street in Dongshi, and you will be punished to accompany us to ......"
"Alas...... All right! It's really hot in Tokyo! Zhang Yue smiled wickedly, got up and cleaned up, turned out of the table and walked out of the study with Yang Junping's slippery hand.
"Look at you smiling so obscenely, what do you think? Be dignified! Solemn! Did you hear that? Yang Junping reached out and pinched his waist fiercely and began to count up.
"Then who shouted at the official last night, I want it? You don't keep your manners and ask me to ......"
"I'm going to die! You can tell the story! Yang Junping was ashamed, raised her pink fist and hit Zhang Yue's back.
"What are no others afraid of? Qiu Niang, do you say? Zhang Yue turned around and stretched out her hand to wrap her hand around Ge Wanqiu's shoulder, but the little lady was quite shy, struggling to run away, holding on to the pillar and laughing secretly.
"Ah Lang is not ashamed or bored, everyone in the front yard heard it!" Ge Wanqiu's face flushed, she shouted in shame, turned around and ran quickly.
Zhang Yue immediately went to the front yard, asked the soldiers to drive out of the carriage, helped the two girls up, and then went in to hug the left and right again, Ge Wanqiu immediately dodged away, and Zhang Yue had no choice but to give up. The carriage moved slowly all the way, crossed the Zhou Bridge and turned right to the north, and soon entered the front street of Xiangguoji.
There are more and more pedestrians and cars on the road, and the stalls on both sides of the street are wearing parasols, occupying the road, and the traffic and horses are a little difficult to pass. However, after squeezing through this section, when I arrived at the streets and alleys of Sidongmen, the stalls gradually decreased, and the number of shops increased, Yang Junping wanted to get out of the car to see those small commodities, Zhang Yue had to let her get out of the car and walk together, and let the soldiers follow behind with the empty car.
This is not the trading day hosted by Sangokuji Temple, and the front street is a little deserted than usual, and the shops of books, toys, and pictures are frequented by literati and officials. There are also many embroidery, collar wipes, flowers, and pearl and emerald head jewelry shops.
Seeing the shining jewels in the store, the two women immediately cheered and ran in, picking and choosing most of them. Zhang Yue was still waiting to pay and leave, shouting to the shopkeeper to take out the best jewelry.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and asked the guy to take out seven or eight small wooden boxes and open them one by one, and the two women picked again. Yang Junping took a hairpin with jasper beads at the end, Ge Wanqiu also liked the silver flower inlaid with jade and the water breeze light silver hairpin, Zhang Yue negotiated the price to pay the bill, the two girls took it diligently, went out and put it in the carriage, and soon got into the ready-to-wear store across the street.
Seeing them leaving, Zhang Yue thought about it and ran back to the store, took advantage of the fact that the cabinet had not taken away the jewelry box, picked out three or four hairpins that looked very good, bought them, put them under the seat and hid them in the carriage, and prepared to give them to Cheng Yachan and Bian Yu, who were still on the road and had not yet arrived in the capital.
Walking into the ready-to-wear store, there were two women in their thirties and forties sitting behind the counter, Zhang Yue explained the situation, and one of the women saw that Zhang Yue was an official, so she led him upstairs and sat down to serve tea in a small flower hall at the entrance of the staircase.
Yang Junping and Ge Wanqiu came in quickly, carrying a few sets of dresses in their hands, and they were a little stunned when they saw Zhang Yue sitting here, because men usually don't come here. The woman in the store smiled and enthusiastically led Yang Junping and the two girls to try on clothes in the room.
tried it on several times in a row, and the two girls finally picked out a dress, as well as underwear, bust, shoes and socks, and bought Zhang Yue two sets of robes, heads, and black leather boots, and asked him to try whether it fits.
Zhang Yue smiled bitterly and picked up his robe and boots, went out from the back door of the flower hall, and saw that there was actually a large row of fitting rooms inside, which was connected to the inner corridor, and on the opposite side, there were all kinds of ready-to-wear clothes, most of which were suitable for young women, while there were few men, and they only occupied a corner position.
"What? Female preference for men! Zhang Yue saw that there was an empty room, so he walked in, the space inside was very small, barely enough, but there was a stuffy heat. I tried on the boots first, they just fit well, and it was very troublesome to take off my clothes, so he put them on directly outside for an interview, and it felt okay.
Just as he was about to go out, the door opened by himself, and he was confronted by a strange young lady, who was at a loss for what to do, and opened her mouth wide in disbelief, staring at him with round eyes. And there was also a young lady standing behind, combing a pan huan mustache, wearing a short jacket with light red patterns on a white background, a bright red light tulle skirt, and a big red shawl ribbon in the crook of her arm, looking at him in amazement, and her smiling expression suddenly froze on her face.
Zhang Yue was also a wolf, but he quickly reacted, the master and servant should have opened the wrong door, looking at the dignified and decent luxurious clothes of the little lady in the red dress, and her beautiful appearance, she was obviously from an official family.
"I've already tried it, I can give it to you!"
"You are a man, how can you come here...... The little lady in front of her woke up and quickly retreated, but the little lady in the red dress behind her, but she raised her eyebrows and implied heroism, glanced at it, was amazing, and asked softly.
"Who said that men can't come, and the store led me up, and who told this store that there is no distinction between men and women?"
Zhang Yue shrugged his shoulders and smiled strangely, and walked out of the fitting room with a pile of clothes in his arms, when a door opened next to him, and a tall young woman flashed out with a light figure. She was also surprised to see Zhang Yue, but she didn't speak, and beckoned the two young ladies to turn around and hurriedly go downstairs.
