"Taking advantage of today's Yue'er coming back, we also have to take care of the things that are missing, after all, so many people live here, if there is nothing all the time, it is not convenient, let's go with the sleep, relax your mood," Mu Ruqing arranged, "Cannon and I will buy some tables and chairs for people to transport, and we will also go to Anyang Hou's table to order a batch of vegetables." ”

This kind of thing of going out to buy was not handed over to Uncle Hua, one is that he is old, Mu Ruqing can't bear to let him walk around, and the other is that the current Yipinxiang is not the original four or five people to eat at one table, so many people's diet has to rely on Uncle Hua.

Ruan Mianmian heard that she was going out to buy something, so she deliberately went back to the room to change into a pink gauze skirt, picked up two hairbands that were also pink and took Jiang Xinyue to help her braid her hair into two small balls behind her ears, and then left the room satisfied, and called Liu Xin'er when she left, and the three of them went out holding hands.

When Jiang Xinyue's palace maids went out, they all wanted to come out to serve, but Jiang Xinyue refused, leaving only the two big palace maids, named Treading Water and Fufeng, only letting them follow from a distance, and they didn't have to come forward to serve, which reassured those palace maids.

Ruan Mianmian and the three of them did not sit in a sedan chair, and walked on the side of the road affectionately, on both sides of this street are all kinds of shops, selling everything, and there are some vendors who set up stalls on the side of the road, and the whole street is full of people, as if it is as lively as a temple fair.

"Ah, isn't this Miss Ruan? How do you have time to go out and shop today? A little brother who looked a little kind poked his head out from behind the stall and looked at Ruan Mianmian with a smile.

Ruan Mianmian was not timid, and smiled at him: "The boss has given us a holiday, so naturally we want to go out for a walk." ”

She looked at the little brother's stall curiously, a signboard carried by a bamboo pole, with the words "pot helmet" written on it, a big pot on the cart, and a lot of spices, the little brother was kneading a dough in his hand, adding some water to it from time to time, and he was very busy.

"Miss Ruan, try my pot helmet, make sure it is crispy and delicious, the guests of this whole street say it is delicious!" The little brother stopped kneading the dough, took down a burnt pot helmet from the wall of the pot, wrapped it in oiled paper and handed it to Ruan Mianmian, and also took two and handed them to Jiang Xinyue and Liu Xin'er, looking at the three of them expectantly.

Ruan Mianmian smiled and took a big bite of the pot helmet that was bigger than his face, and sure enough, it was burnt and fragrant, moderately soft and hard, and the smell of meat that lasted for a long time, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of praise: "Little brother, this is really delicious, give me two more." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the little brother. The little brother didn't accept her money, and waved his hand: "Miss Ruan, these three are for the three girls I gave to the three girls, don't charge money, what you just ate was beef, let's have plum vegetables and mutton, two of each is enough with only four copper plates." ”

"How embarrassing is this, so you can still take my piece of silver, and we can come and get it when we eat it in the future."

"Okay!" The little brother didn't give in anymore, took the silver, wrapped a few pot helmets that had just come out of the pot and handed them to Ruan Mianmian.

Ruan Mianmian and the others walked out not far away, and they heard the little brother behind them shouting again, but this time the method of selling was a little different, only to hear him shout: "Take a look, take a look, eat the pot helmet that Miss Ruan praises for eating and broadcasting~"

After he shouted this, almost half of the people on the street rushed over to line up to buy pot helmets...

Ruan Mianmian and the three of them were dumbfounded, petrified in place, Jiang Xinyue hurriedly took out the veil and brought it to Ruan Mianmian, Liu Xin'er was still stunned: "Mianmian, your appeal is really... Incomparable, I'm afraid that if you shout an uprising now, someone will rush out and follow you into the palace..."

"Wow, I don't dare, let's go, if they know I'm here, I'm afraid I'll have to let me finish eating these pot helmets, run and run." Ruan Mianmian put her hands in front of her and bowed, turned around and ran away quietly with Jiang Xinyue and Liu Xin'er.

After walking out of half the street, the three of them relaxed, stopped and stopped, and bought a little fun and delicious food, and they were very happy to shop.

"By the way, Sister Yue, why are you palace maids willing to follow you out of the palace, isn't it good to be in such a luxurious place in the palace?" Ruan Mianmian held a candy man pinched according to her appearance in her hand, lifted the veil and licked it one by one.

"I wondered at first, but I stayed in the palace for two days and I understood why. Although the palace is luxurious, it is for the masters to enjoy, and if the palace maids do not pay attention, they may be punished for their crimes, and even cause death, and become a tool for the masters to pour into each other, and how can they be free outside the palace, and they can go wherever they want. Jiang Xinyue gave Ruan Mianmian a haircut.

"That's right, we're free, we can go shopping when we want, and do whatever we want, how good is that."

"Yes, in the past, when I was in the Hou Mansion, I felt that the water in the backyard was so deep, the majestic housewife, and the vicious sister who was high on the outside and vicious on the inside, had already made me take care of myself, and I had to pretend to be ignorant and hot to protect myself and my mother, the Hou Mansion was like this, how could it be better for so many women in the palace?" Liu Xin'er thought of her previous experience and wiped her eyes.

"Don't say it, don't say it, we are relatives in Yipinxiang now, there will be no more in the old days, there is a street selling furniture in front of us, let's shop the things we bought." Ruan Mianmian saw that Liu Xin'er was sad, and she couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly changed the topic.

Walking out of the street just now and entering another street, the street planning in the capital is very regular, each place has a clear division of labor, just like the market snack just now, is a place for people to eat, drink and play, the street they are visiting now is household goods, and most of the guests are middle-aged housewives and the elderly, the three young girls walking on the street are indeed a little eye-catching, so Jiang Xinyue and Liu Xin'er also took out their masks and belts.

Three people walked into a home shop called "Xiangyifang", this store is very famous in the capital, it is one of the best stores, there are six or seven chain stores alone, mainly engaged in ceramic products, from cups, plates and dishes to ceramic ornaments, as well as jade treasures for large families to watch, all have business.

The service of this store is also famous for being good, the people in charge of hospitality in the store are wearing uniform gray-blue dresses, and as soon as the three of Ruan Mianmian entered the store, a beautiful woman with a good appearance greeted them: "Customers, below is Xiaoice, the director of the lobby of the store, to greet you." After speaking, he saluted Shi Shiran to the three of them.

This Xiaoice is also observant, good at dealing with all kinds of guests, and beautiful, so he sat in the position of supervisor at a young age. From the moment Ruan Mianmian and the three of them appeared from the door of the store, her eyes fell on them and never left, just by looking at them, she knew that these three people were not simple.

Needless to say, Jiang Xinyue is dressed in a flamboyant red dress, and she is quite chivalrous, and the clothes brought back from the palace are also luxurious, Ruan Mianmian is gentle and cute, but this gauze skirt is not something that a small family can afford to wear, Liu Xin'er has been the second lady of the Hou Mansion for so long, not to mention anything else, the clothes and jewelry will naturally not be bad, and it is even more charming and moving, the three people have different temperaments, but people can't take their eyes off standing together.

Not to mention that Xiaoice also noticed that there were two handsome maids with extraordinary manners far behind the three people, and he could see at a glance that they were not from an ordinary rich family, so he didn't dare to slack off.

"Are you ladies shopping around at random today or buying some things, the small shop is ugly, and the things are still relatively complete, I hope you don't dislike it." Xiaoice gave up half of her body, allowing Ruan Mianmian and them to see clearly the various cups and saucers displayed in the store.

"Sister, how much are we going to buy today?" Ruan Mianmian naturally asked Jiang Xinyue, she didn't show her dew outside, and she always respected Jiang Xinyue.

"Miss Xiaoice, we are ordering for the restaurant this time, the demand may be great, of course, the quality of things is also high, please recommend it." Jiang Xinyue said to Xiaoice.

That Xiaoice smiled knowingly, and did not take them to stay on the first floor, but lifted the skirt and took them to the second floor.

The second floor of this Xiangyi Fang is similar to the second floor of Yipinxiang, which is decorated into a tea room, separated by a bamboo curtain, which is not enough to see the faces of the guests in the other rooms, but it can make the light soft, so that people do not feel cramped in the already small space.

Ruan Mianmian and the three of them were ushered into a tea room facing the window, where a little maid came to serve freshly brewed fragrant tea, and the three of them knelt on a soft cushion, in front of them was a small and delicate tea table.

Xiaoice went out and gave a few orders, then came back and sat a little further back next to the three. After a while, a waiter opened the curtain and brought in all kinds of cups, plates and dishes, all of which were in sets, but each had its own style.

Xiaoice pointed to them the same as with his finger to introduce them: "This set is called Yintan Biying, with silver craftsmanship with inlaid jade, fresh and beautiful, and luxurious, this set is called Qilin Gongrui, using porcelain burning technology, dignified and generous, this set is..."

A series of more than a dozen sets of dishes were introduced, Ruan Mianmian and Jiang Xinyue who listened to it were dizzy, they only felt that they were all good, and they couldn't wait to buy them back, but Liu Xin'er listened carefully to everything, and asked some questions from time to time, looking at Xiaoice's expression, he knew that he had asked the point, Jiang Xinyue and Ruan Mianmian were a little impressed by Liu Xin'er.

"Sister Xin'er, can you tell the difference between these things?" Ruan Mianmian's eyes lit up with stars, and they were all full of worship.

"My mother used to be in the porcelain business at home, and I naturally know some of it." Catching up with Ruan Mianmian's adoring little face, Liu Xin'er pursed her lips a little embarrassed.

"That's amazing, so which one should we buy?"

"The restaurant can't pay attention to luxury and good-looking business, it is naturally practical and durable, but I have been dancing with knives since I was a child, and I don't know how to pick these fine things, so Xin'er should come." Jiang Xinyue smiled, picked up the teacup and leaned aside.

"If it is practical, the wear and tear of these gold and silver is too fast, it can not be used, and this kind of ice porcelain and jade porcelain are not good, although it is beautiful but too easy to break, in my opinion, it is more suitable for this thin wood carving and ordinary white porcelain, and it is also elegant." Liu Xin'er pondered for a while and gave her own answer.
