Chapter 217: A Chance Encounter
Qiao'er turned her face, "It's okay, it's all flesh wounds, and it will disappear in a few days." ”
Lizhan nodded. "Remember to take the medicine on time, don't forget."
"I know, the old lady will send someone to Xiaolanyuan to clean up for us later. We don't have a place to stay when we go back, so it's better for the slave to accompany the master out for a walk. ”
"It's okay, it's not raining too much today. I wanted to start handing over the shop in the west as soon as possible, but you and I look like this today...... It's not that you can't see people if you have color on your face, I'm afraid that those slaves are the snobbery. Our Xiaolan Courtyard is not allowed to leave home to like it, and I was born as a village doctor, and now I will give the shop to the two of us, and the account room and the guys in the shop will definitely not want to see us. I still have to think about the handover, the reputation of Changfeng Pharmacy has been damaged, and the four branches in the north, south, east and west are also implicated, since the opportunity to earn money has been delayed, we don't have to worry. You keep the deed paper first, and when your face is better and you can put on makeup, it won't be too late for the two of us to go. ”
Everything is still the master's proper and thoughtful thinking.
"Then the slave will accompany the master to go shopping, isn't the master going to be a riding costume, or let's find a tailor shop?"
"Okay, go back and get the umbrella first, and call Miao Miao together."
***************
It was the first time for the three of them to go shopping together, and their interest was very high.
Qiao'er had a money bag tied to her waist, which was inevitably discussed by others, and her face was tied with a white veil.
Lizhan thought that the half-truth and half-false bruises on his neck were unseemly, so he bought a light cyan scarf in the silk shop and put it on.
Autumn hunting is a trivial matter for the Lizhan Dynasty, but it is a major event for the entire royal family and even the imperial court.
Since she accompanied Gu Fuwei to hunt, she naturally had to dress appropriately. So after thinking about it, I still went to the largest and most famous tailor shop in the capital - Tianyuan Cloth Village.
This cloth village has a history of more than 100 years, and the name is still the name given by the Queen Mother before she died.
At that time, the tailors in this cloth village were more powerful than the female officials of the Internal Affairs Office, and sometimes the palace ladies celebrated their birthdays, and they would specially send people to Tianyuan Cloth Village to customize new clothes.
It wasn't until the face of the Internal Affairs Office was nowhere to rest, that the palace spent money and invited the best tailors and embroiderers of Tianyuan Cloth Village into the palace to be female officials, and Tianyuan Cloth gradually broke off its involvement with the palace.
But to this day, Tianyuan Cloth Village is still the first choice for rich people in the capital to make clothes, like Changfeng Pharmacy, shops have been opened in the north, south, east and west, let the tide in the capital ebb and flow, Tianyuan Cloth Village has never stood tall.
In the north, south, east and west shops, the north side of the shop is the most advanced. In the north, there are many officials who live in them, and the requirements are naturally higher, and they always go to that shop to make clothes in their previous life, and the boss's surname is Ren, and he is very familiar with her.
She led Qiao'er and Miao Miao to the Tianyuan Cloth Village in the north, with a blue background, black characters, and a very regular regular script.
The shop is very spacious, peeking in from the outside, the various colors of fabrics are as shiny as pearls and jade, and there are also as thin as smoke, which is momentarily dazzling to the human eye.
Qiao'er was stunned by this scene, and whispered to Lizhan's ear: "This place must be very expensive." ”
"It's better for a woman to live a decent life." Lizhan said so, and took her skirt inside.
There are already some noble women in it who are carefully selected, and Xiao Er is taking care of them enthusiastically, and he didn't pay attention to leaving the lamp for a while.
Being ignored by others, she was not displeased, anyway, what kind of fabric to choose, what style of riding clothes, she had already thought about it before she stepped into the threshold.
She followed her memory and went inside, Tianyuan Buzhuang has always hidden the best and most expensive fabrics in the innermost.
As soon as he walked in front of the two tall containers, there was a faint sound of talking behind him.
"It's strange today, Miss Liu, who can't be found by others, was bumped into by me."
The voice sounded familiar, and he couldn't help but slow down.
"Miss Bai."
The people behind the container seem to be saluting each other.
Qiao'er hurriedly took Lizhan's hand, her eyes were full of caution, "Don't go over, master, it seems to be the daughter of the Bai family." ”
"Uh-huh." Lizhan no longer stepped forward, and pointed to a hidden corner behind him.
The two of them walked towards that place tacitly, and Miao Miao also dragged Lizhan's dress and obediently followed behind.
She had just been released from the East Palace by Gu Yueze, and Bai Caixuan was a jealous person, if she knew about the East Palace, she would secretly have more thoughts.
Now that they meet, the two of them have a huge difference in status, different dignity and inferiority, Bai Caixuan wants to embarrass her, and the people in this store will definitely turn a blind eye.
Although Lizhan is not afraid of her, he has finally obtained the purity and good mood, and he doesn't want to ruin himself.
She lowered her head and picked up a flannel, and picked it up absentmindedly, hoping to wait for the two of them to leave quickly.
"Miss, who is the other person?" Qiao'er whispered in Lizhan's ear.
"The second daughter of the Liu family, Liu Yan."
"The Four Beauties of the Capital ......" Qiao'er was surprised and interrupted by a nod from Lizhan.
Behind the container, they laughed and laughed.
"Miss Bai, Miss Liu, what kind of clothes do you two want to make?" Xiao Er greeted warmly, as if he was very familiar with them.
"I'll make a riding suit."
"Miss Bai, are you going to participate in the autumn hunt?" Xiao Er asked.
"Why, have a lot of people already done it?"
Xiao Er paused and sneered, "There are so many." ”
"In the end, it's autumn hunting, and everyone is very active. Do you remember the styles they made and the fabrics they used? ”
Xiao Er said again and again: "Remember, I remember every piece of clothing that goes out of our store!" ”
"Very well, if you remember, I don't want it."
"Huh? Belch...... Yes, yes, yes! Miss Bai's is of course unique! ”
Bai Caixuan smiled with satisfaction.
Xiao Er asked Liu Yan again, "What about Miss Liu?" ”
"I'll make dresses."
"Miss Liu is also preparing for the autumn hunt?" Bai Caixuan asked.
"Yes, Yan'er doesn't know how to ride a horse like Sister Caixuan, so she won't be ready to ride. I wanted to pick a suitable skirt at home, but I always dressed casually, and I had never been to the autumn hunt before, and I had never made a suitable skirt, for fear of angering the saint. ”
Bai Caixuan's tone was a little colder, but he still smiled, "Sister Liu, where did you say, you beautiful flowers shine on the water, weak willows support the wind, cold eyebrows are a landscape, what does it matter if you wear it." ”
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something, "Hey, I'm also curious when I say it, Miss Liu is weak and has never followed her to the hunting ground before, how did she make an exception this time?" ”
"I ......"
"Did you hear that King Qi is also going?"
"No, no...... Is King Qi going too, I don't know......" Liu Yan's face flushed.
Bai Caixuan glanced up and down at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan personally went to King Qi's mansion to give gifts, but she heard about it early, saying that she didn't care about King Qi, who did she deceive......
Liu Yan was exposed on the spot, and he felt ashamed. But no matter how high her father's official position is, it can't be higher than Prime Minister Bai Zhaoqin, and Liu Yan wants to let her.
"Miss Bai don't want to make fun of me, Yan'er just hasn't been out of the house much recently, and my father is worried about my health, so he persuaded me to follow my brother on the autumn hunting parade."
Bai Caixuan carefully stared at Liu Yan a few times, and said in a strange tone: "But Miss Liu really wants to take care of her body, I see why your face is whiter than before?" ”
"Is it the incident of returning the gift for King Qi?" Bai Caixuan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
Liu Yan was extremely embarrassed.
I have been letting her, but who knows that she is aggressively laughing at her.
At this end, Lizhan was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Returning the gift, when did the Liu family give a gift to King Qi again?
The last time the Liu family came to the Qi Palace, Liu Shangshu was going to hold a banquet in the mansion, and he sent posts and gifts.
At that time, the guards in the house refused to accept it, but she saw that Liu Yan was embarrassed and helped accept it.
It stands to reason that the Liu family has seen King Qi's cold face, and they should not go to find their own suffering, how can they be dismissed?
"Miss Liu doesn't have to shy away from it, who doesn't know about it in the capital now." Bai Cai Xuanyun is light and light.
Xiao Er next to him hung his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Liu Shangshu invited His Royal Highness King Qi to the banquet, and the posts and gifts were sent to the door, who would have thought that a splash had not yet fluttered, and even the gift tape was returned."
Yes? The emotional Liu family didn't give any more gifts later, but the gifts she originally received for the Liu family were returned again?
Lizhan was even more shocked, thinking that this Gu Fuwei's temperament was really weird, the Liu family neither recruited him nor provoked him, and Li'an, who entered the door, said to go back? Isn't this a clear slap in the face of the Liu family?
You can't blame the temper so much that you don't even care about the number of courtesies......
I really couldn't figure it out, so I listened more carefully with my ears pricked up.
