After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow stopped, and after a few more days of sunshine, the thick snow began to melt, and by the end of January, the muddy road surface was basically dry and hard.

An ox truck carrying the villagers of the mountain village staggered on the flat official road, and it only took an hour to get from the mountain village to the county seat of Luxian County.

Today is the day when Xiao's went to the city to deliver goods, Lin Meiyi sat at the back of the ox cart, her feet hanging naturally, and she held a small bamboo basket covered with a cloth towel on her knees, which was full of embroidered handkerchiefs, sachets, and other small objects made by Xiao.

In addition, there is also a burden that Xiao personally holds in his arms, which is a large embroidered piece, which is also the goods that Xiao has to hand over today.

The quiet master and apprentice seemed incompatible with the villagers chattering beside them, but everyone knew that Xiao Shi was cold and didn't like gossip, and he didn't deliberately talk to her.

On Lin Meiyi's side, the little girl's house is surrounded by a group of seven aunts and eight aunts, and it is at the age when she can discuss marriage, so she will inevitably be gossiped about by everyone.

Lin Meiyi will go back if she can, and if she can't, she will bow her head and smile, and in the end, they will feel bored, so naturally they won't tease her.

The master and apprentice set off after breakfast, and now the distance has been more than halfway through, although it was a sunny day a few days ago, but today the sky is cloudy, the green trees on both sides are towering, and a cold wind blows from time to time in the forest, and the clothes are a little thinner, so they can't help but shiver.

Lin Meiyi gently covered her collar, felt the cold wind blowing, and tightened her hand holding the basket.

"Sit down on my side." Xiao noticed the apprentice's situation and moved to the side, letting Lin Meiyi come to his side.

She was on the side, in front of her and behind her, and there were people blocking the wind, much better than in the back of the car.

Lin Meiyi was also not polite, and when she saw that there was a vacancy, she moved over as she said.

Someone was blocking the wind, and it was much warmer.

Chong Xiao smiled gratefully, and Lin Meiyi sat honestly and stopped talking.

The ox cart shook for another half an hour, and when Lin Meiyi's buttocks were about to become two, Luxian finally arrived.

Cattle and donkeys and other livestock were not allowed to enter the city through the main gate, so the big guys got off at the cattle and horse parking lot outside the city and walked into the city.

Today happens to be a big gathering, there are a lot of people, bustling everywhere, knowing that Lin Meiyi has never been to the county seat, Xiao holds the burden in one hand and holds her in the other, so as not to be scattered by the crowd.

The real ancient streets are not as clean and tidy as you see in the TV series, and many places in the streets of the city are not paved with bluestone slabs, there are many people, and they are dusty on the road.

In addition, the shops and stalls on both sides of the road are very chaotic, and some shops have stalls in front of them, which makes the already narrow passage more and more cramped.

However, as she walked further and further, the road suddenly became wider, and the shops were much more tidy.

Xiao led Lin Meiyi into the embroidery workshop in front of the left.

The façade of the embroidery workshop is not big, but there is another world when you walk in, it is very open, it is full of shelves, and the shelves are all kinds of colors, different grades, different quality of fabrics, as well as ready-to-wear, shoes and socks, accessories, etc., all complete.

There aren't many customers in the shop, but if you look at the clothes, you can see that they are all wealthy people with some savings.

Most of the people in the store were women, and there were also one or two young girls who came with their mothers, but Lin Meiyi noticed that most of them were people dressed like buying mothers-in-law.

These women are the owners of money, and they come to buy clothes for the mistress of the house, sometimes to take some new materials, sometimes to buy them in large quantities, and take them back to buy clothes for the four seasons for the domestic servants.

But either way, the money spent is a lot of money.

Lin Meiyi looked at the thin and colorless clothes on her body, and then looked at the dresses of those servant women with bright colors and suitable thickness, and actually gave birth to a trace of envy.

You know, in the past, these clothes were synonymous with bad color matching and tacky style in her eyes, and she wouldn't touch them if she was given gold taels to let her wear them.

So, is she really too poor for too long now, and she doesn't pick on anything?

was laughing at herself, Lin Meiyi suddenly felt that her sleeve was being pulled, and when she looked up, she saw Xiao Shi nodding at her, "You wait for me here first, and I'll come when I go." ”

As he spoke, he took the small bamboo basket that Lin Meiyi was holding in her hand and went to the counter on the right side of the store.

Lin Meiyi was slightly flustered, but she quickly reacted again, knowing that Xiao's so many items would not be counted for a while, her eyes rolled, and she saw a counter dedicated to jewelry, so she walked over there.

Xiao noticed that she was leaving the place, looked back, and saw that she did not leave the shop, but just wandered inside, so he did not pay any more attention.

After all, she is also a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, so she shouldn't get lost.

"Girl, do you want to see the hairband?" The young woman at the counter asked with a warm smile when she saw a customer coming to the door.

She was sharp-eyed, and saw that Lin Meiyi couldn't afford a silk hairpin in this dress, so she specially pushed a cheap hairband.

Lin Meiyi raised her eyes and looked at the hairband that the woman picked up, half a meter long, with four colors of red, green, yellow, and pink, with a very high saturation, using silk leftovers, revealing a sense of luster, and small white pearls were tied at both ends of the hairband.

"No need." Lin Meiyi shook her head, this is something she can't afford.

Although she only glanced at it in a hurry, she also saw that the main things of this embroidery workshop should be aimed at wealthy families, and the items are relatively delicate, taking the light luxury route.

In this way, her three silk flowers may be able to sell.

"Sister, do you collect things here?" Lin Meiyi asked with a smile, there was no embarrassment of not being able to afford things at all, she was generous, and it was comfortable to look at.

When the woman heard this, she was not surprised, she indifferently put down the hairband she was about to recommend, and asked Lin Meiyi with a smile, "What is it?" I'll have to take a look. ”

Lin Meiyi took out the three silk flowers that had been placed in her arms for a long time, the three were just enough to hold in one hand, and as soon as she took them out, the crimson color made the woman's eyes shine.

This color is rare!

"It's these three silk flowers, the edges are locked with gold threads, sister, see if you can collect them." Lin Meiyi generously handed over the silk flower and asked her to see it first.

As soon as the silk flowers were dewed before, the woman had been amazed by the beautiful color, and now she took it into her hand and looked at it carefully, according to the rules of the past, she should have looked at the stitches first, but now all her thoughts drifted to what she would look like if she wore these three crimson gold-rimmed silk flowers.

Because these three silk flowers are so beautiful, they can't take their eyes off.
