When the day was not early, Mingyi sent Hong Yi and Xing Qing back to Xinglu Courtyard, and told Hong Yi a few words, asking her to talk to the Oiran ladies one by one about the endorsement platform. Yin's mother sent a message to the coachman to send her back to Dongshi, but Mingyi also declined the kindness and insisted on walking back.

Before taking a few steps, Ming Yi only felt that his feet were a little soft, and it seemed that the sweet wine in his mouth was wine after all. When the wind blows, it is even more dizzy.

There was still an hour before Lin Zhao's hand-painted single page was delivered, and she had time to slowly wander in Pingkangfang.

The night is still far away, and the lazy Pingkangfang has just woken up from a nap. When you look up, you can see the propped up window, a woman with a green hair hanging down and combing it carefully, a woman who draws her eyebrows in the mirror through the sun, a woman who teases a parrot to repeat a name, a woman with a lonely face and nothing in her eyes, or a young girl, or a half-old. The eyes of youth are always smart, the hope of the lover, the infatuation of reciting love poems, and the hatred of thin love. The vicissitudes of life are always deep in their eyes, and they can't see the light, only a smile that can be changed at any time.

Ming Yi watched, the strength of the wine slowly passed, the summer heat subsided, and his heart cooled down. In this time and space, what women can do is too limited, which is not backed by the power of men. Needless to say, relying on men to bring gold and silver, no matter how difficult the beauty is, she always waits for the price to sell, and she needs to exchange her beauty and singing skills for a place. Tao Sanniang is lucky, relying on the status of the rivers and lakes laid down by her father, but if she does not have the special status of a female head to bargain with other gangs, she will not be able to sit still. No matter how outstanding Xia Huanfeng is, he can't escape and has to deal with the people in the middle of the court and the people in the rivers and lakes to keep him safe and rich. Not to mention himself, spending Liu Enchao's money, relying on Lianshan's loyalty, and those Wu Shaoyin and Ma Shao's help, I don't know how many strange men will appear in this list in the future.

If she must rely on the strength of men, what she can do is not just rely on a few people, but more. In this way, the price to be paid can be diluted on everyone. If there is a betrayal, it will not be a total loss. That way, maybe it's safer.

The more he thought about it, the more boring it became, and Mingyi quickened his pace. went to her small gleaning workshop, so there was some illusion that she could block the wind and rain.

Back in the East Market, it was no longer the busiest time for the store, and people who came from afar began to go back. Hongyunfang's popularity today is not as good as before, and there are just a few sisters-in-law in shabby clothes, who have been selected for a long time and quarreled over a few copper coins. She was not in the mood to have any more quarrels with people, so she deliberately walked away at the door of Hongyunfang. I made up my mind: I can't waste my time bargaining with women in the market, and I can't get entangled with such an opponent.

Mingyi walked away quickly, as if she was afraid that the vulgarity of the copycat store would defile the soles of her boots.

There was no one in the gleaning shop, which was also expected. Lianshan is so busy that the sky is dark, I am afraid that she is not as good as her, and she can still enjoy that feast. I didn't expect anyone to patronize me, just to wait for Lin Zhao's single page, so I had to open the shop and wait boredly.

The strength of the wine has not been exhausted, and he got up early in the morning and tossed until now, Mingyi is really a little sleepy, holding his head and beating his spirits, until he is frightened by a cough and his heart almost pops out.

Looking up, the two people blurred, and the bright clothes were almost blinding her.

In front of me is a young woman's appearance, emerald green embroidered red and white pattern pleated skirt, water red tulle shirt, moon white long veil, bright and bright with matching, but it is a pity that my skin is dull, black with yellow, lined with bright colors, there is always some indelible local flavor. He doesn't look bad, he is upright, but he has a serious face, the corners of his mouth are hanging down, and he is lifeless. On his head is a gorgeous Lingyun bun, beaded and swaggering, the corners of his eyes are swept obliquely red, and his lips are dotted with delicate peach, making his skin more yellow. Mingyi had the urge to wipe all the fat off her face and dress up again.

She was followed by a servant girl with the same sallow face. Wearing a yellow long skirt and a green short-sleeved shirt, the whole thing looks like a gouge out of the loess, and his face is yellow. The expressions are the same, but they are more arrogant than the main mother, and the so-called dog fighting human power is like this.

It was the yellow maid who coughed, and she looked very impatient: "What time is it, is this shop going to close?" ”

Mingyi secretly greeted the other party's ancestor in his heart, and smiled: "Does the lady need rouge or gouache or lipstick?" ”

Young Woman Huang glanced at her, and she didn't mean to pay attention to it at all. Walking straight to the middle of the shop, he circled around the flower arrangement of the birdcage embroidered shoes, frowning, his eyes full of disgust.

Huang Wannu was unceremoniously: "Don't follow, let's see for ourselves." ”

Ming Yi didn't want to talk to them in the first place, and it didn't seem that he was the one who took the sheep by the hand, so he just stood aside and watched coldly. This kind of posture is really familiar, isn't it the style of the master and servant of the paper piercing man a few days ago, Mrs. Qiu and her party? No wonder she dressed up so ostentatiously, mostly for demonstration, thinking of this, she felt particularly funny, and couldn't help but smile on her face.

Young Woman Huang happened to turn around and came back, catching the curvature of the corners of her mouth that had not disappeared, as if she had been greatly insulted, her face suddenly became more gloomy, and she came straight to her.

Ming Yi was so frightened that he took two steps back, but there was no way back.

Young Lady Huang stayed less than a meter away in front of her: "Ming Niangzi, I have no malice, but I am just a woman, I advise you to be more restrained, don't use this absurd and careless thing to deceive people's hearts, it is really insulting to the reputation of the Feng family." ”

When Ming Yi heard this, he came to his senses, and instead of being angry, he laughed: "May I ask what this lady has to do with my Feng family?" Is it my father's old good-friendliness or the ancestor's unjust debt? It's really hard for you to think so hard for my Feng family. ”

Young woman Huang was so angry that her face turned white and trembled slightly, Huang Maiden couldn't bear it anymore at first, and she was about to rush up and scratch, Mingyi leaned back, pushed her waist to the back cabinet, and hit her secretly gritted her teeth. Young woman Huang waved her hand and stopped the barbaric girl: "I have heard that Ming Niangzi is sharp-toothed, and if this is the case, it is just that she is rude and has lost her upbringing." ”

"My upbringing is about being double and kind to those who are kind, and not being afraid of those who have bad intentions." Ming Yi saw that the other party was hiding needles, and he was not afraid to deal with her.

Young Lady Huang changed her pleasant face again: "You and I have never known each other, how can we be malicious." It's just that the lady is running a huge business alone, and she is also a heroine among women, and she can't bear to see a woman at this age, and she still provokes criticism in the streets and alleys alone, which is suffocating. ”

Mingyi was so annoyed that she just said that she was old and had a bad reputation, so as to highlight her nobility. Thinking about it, in this era, women regard their husband's backers as big, and it is understandable to regard her as a typical loser. I want to pay back to the past, but it's boring. So when she saw Lin Zhao approaching the gleaning workshop from a distance, her eyes lit up, as if she had seen a savior.
