Chapter 217: A Difference
The fourth uncle reads the most, but he is not pedantic, his thoughts are very active, and he is also flexible. He is indifferent to many things on the face, and in fact he is also a cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Dong Chengyi didn't say much, and he even looked a little wooden, but if he recognized a person in his heart, he would dig out his heart and lungs for him.
Although he is a little timid, he has a kind and innocent heart.
Xue'er's heart warmed slightly, and she explained with a smile: "Daming Palace is very beautiful, the queen mother arranged for me to live alone in the Hanbing Palace, everything has been arranged, and I am not used to it, but I am a little worried about you."
No one bullied me, after all, I am the county lord of the Imperial Throne today! His Royal Highness Youwang gave me a token, and I can enter and leave Daming Palace at will, so you can rest assured. ”
"That's good, you don't have to worry about us, we live here, there are people from His Royal Highness Youwang to take care of us, and there are no people from him to protect you when you go shopping, so you don't have to worry about it." Dong Changhai was very happy, knowing that his niece was fine, and his heart was finally put down.
"Is there enough money to carry on you? It's not enough for me here, so I don't have to save what I want to buy, and my dad gave me some when he left. Xue'er asked Dong Changhu.
"Don't worry, how can you rest assured if you don't have enough silver taels on you when you go out? There are a number of rich roads for the poor, keep the money in your hand, we have enough! "Dong Changhu is a businessman, and he really brought enough silver with him this time.
He also knew that his fourth brother and nephew were not as wealthy as him, so he even brought the two of them.
"That's good, if it's not enough, you must tell me." Xue'er asked again uneasily.
"I will go out of the palace to see you when I have time in the next few days, you don't have to wait for me deliberately, I also want to visit Chang'an City, and bring some gifts back to my family when the time comes."
"Okay, you don't have to come to see us, just let us know that you haven't been wronged. Chang'an City is very large, and many places are worth visiting, and we will not deliberately wait for you at the post house. ”
Dong Changhu knew that Xue'er was really worried about them, but they came out to accompany her, how could they be a burden to her, so he comforted Xue'er with a seemingly big grin.
After seeing the three of them, Xue'er was relieved, and didn't want the county lord of Roujia to wait too long, so she asked her again before leaving.
The three of them didn't want to add pressure to Xue'er, so they didn't dare to ask the nobles in the palace, but Xue'er talked about it after she left.
Here, Xue'er got into the carriage of the county lord of Roujia again, and the group headed towards East Street.
The county lord of Roujia promised to accompany Xue'er to go shopping yesterday, she likes to walk around East Street on weekdays, so she took Xue'er there directly.
This East Street sells luxury goods, Xue'er doesn't want to buy anything today, but she is curious about what Chang'an City looked like in ancient times, so most of them are explained by the county lord of Roujia, she carefully observed on the side to see what the ancient people liked.
It is said that it is a luxury for the poor people, and it is not that Xue'er's current net worth cannot afford it, but most things do not play a big role in daily life.
For example, those luxurious jewelry, precious fabrics, those antique calligraphy and paintings, home furnishings and so on.
There are also clothing shops that make ready-to-wear, and there are some imported products from other countries, which are really only ornamental and not exciting for Cher, a person from modern times.
At noon, the group was tired of shopping, and the lord of Roujia invited Xue'er to dine at the most famous restaurant in East City.
All of them were good-looking, well-dressed, and accompanied by guards. The people living under the imperial city naturally saw at a glance that this was a nobleman.
The little second brother nodded and led them into the most upscale private room, and the county lord of Roujia said softly: "Serve a pot of the best tea, and then give us your best signature dishes, enough for the two of us to eat." ”
In the end, she pointed to the maid and others who followed her: "Arrange two tables for my people." ”
The maids and servants all take turns to eat, and the lord of Roujia is not the kind of arrogant young lady, and he is very understanding and arranged.
The little second brother smiled and promised loudly, and went down to arrange it.
After waving off the servants around him, the door to the private room was closed again, leaving only the two of them sitting by the window.
The rain outside is still falling, and there is a trend of getting bigger and bigger, the lord of Roujia looked at the scenery outside, and said with some regret: "It seems that I can't go shopping in the afternoon, so I wanted to spend more time with you while shopping." ”
"It's okay, I'm not leaving Chang'an tomorrow, we still have a chance to go shopping together. I also heard that the Great Ci'en Temple in Chang'an City is very famous, so let's go and see it together when we have time? Xue'er also knew that it was inconvenient to go shopping when the rain was heavy, so she comforted Roujia County.
"Cher is a Buddhist?" Lord Roujia asked curiously.
Xue'er shook her head: "It's not that I believe in Buddhism, I'm just interested in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple." ”
In modern times, Xue'er knew about the ancient temple of Da Ci'en Temple, but the picture data at that time showed that the buildings were built in the Qing Dynasty, and she wanted to see what the temple looks like now.
After all, the first generation of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple was the famous Master Xuanzang, and there is also the famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda there that is worth seeing.
"You make me feel very different." The lord of Roujia said firmly.
"What's the difference?" Cher was shocked.
"I feel that although you are a talented woman, you don't pay attention to those so-called talents.
Most women like to go shopping and like those luxurious clothes, but you seem to be just curious when you go shopping, and you also have an attitude of appreciation for those luxurious clothes.
Take your own clothing as an example, the fabrics used are very ordinary, the designs are all comfortable and decent, and the jewelry you wear is also very few, and it looks very fresh and refined.
Nowadays, many young ladies of the family show their benevolent side in front of outsiders, and even claim that they believe in Buddhism, live in front of everyone with a false mask, and kill servants in private are commonplace, which is another appearance.
And you seem to have likes and dislikes on the surface, seemingly easy to speak, but have your own unique arrogance.
You seem to be out of the crowd, and you seem to fit in with everything around you reasonably, so that people can't find fault.
In short, it's changeable, as if it's hard to get to know you as a person. "Lord Roujia's mind is quick, and he quickly finds out what makes Cher different.
It's not that all the people she comes into contact with are the kind of people who don't see what they seem, but they live in the center of power, and many people live like this mask.
She knew that she had the power to control her own life, and that those people had more or less their own way of pretending to be so, so she could understand, but she could not agree with it.
