Chapter 41: Going Out
Xiao Ji just walked out and replied: "I want to take Jiayan out for a walk." ”
The old lady Tong glanced at the second lady again: "Why can't one or two stay at home, do you think my old lady is an eyesore?" ”
Xiao Ji was so scared when he heard this, he thought that Mrs. Tong was really angry, and he almost said that she was not going.
The second lady had already stood up with a smile, not afraid of the old lady: "Where is this, I can't stay long." If I hadn't been able to transform, I would have loved to get into your pocket and stay by your side all the time! ”
Mrs. Tong was amused by her: "You have told you all the good and bad things!" ”
The second wife grinned and said coquettishly: "That's what you love me for." Who doesn't envy me in Jinling for having a good mother-in-law! The tone was proud.
Xiao Ji looked envious from the sidelines.
Somehow, when she saw Mrs. Tong, she was worried, and it was difficult to jump out of a complete sentence.
Unlike the second wife, not only is she not afraid of the old lady at all, but she can also behave coquettishly in front of the old lady and be able to speak well.
Xiao Ji nervously waited for Mrs. Tong's final decision.
The Tong family has not been separated, and the three rooms still live together. Although the housekeeper has been delegated to the eldest lady, in fact, all the big and small affairs in the house have to go through the eyes of Mrs. Tong.
Power is as addictive as opium. Once you've touched it, it's hard to let go.
When the host goes out, he must arrange for a carriage and a person who follows him.
When Mrs. Tong saw that her pestle was like a piece of wood there, it was an eyesore to look at, and finally waved her hand impatiently: "You can go and tell your sister-in-law about this, and don't take anything big about sesame mung beans to bother me." ”
Xiao Ji lowered his head uneasily when he heard this, and he didn't know if the old lady had something to say, so he deliberately said it to her.
Seeing her frightened look, the second wife smiled at the corner of her mouth, and helped to relieve the siege: "The third brother and sister are also because they respect your old man." After all, the family is inseparable from you. ”
The second wife's words made Mrs. Tong laugh again.
Xiao Ji threw a grateful glance at the second wife, and the second wife secretly winked at her.
Xiao Ji was slightly stunned, then pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly and withdrew.
Walking out of the gate of Songhe Courtyard, Xiao Ji couldn't help but look back, breathed a sigh of relief, and Zijuan sighed: "The second sister-in-law is really good, she helped me out of the siege in front of the old lady just now." ”
Zijuan smiled at the right time: "Then the wife can have more contact with the second wife in the future." ”
Xiao Ji himself had this idea, so he nodded in agreement.
Later, when I talked to the eldest lady about going out, the eldest lady didn't say a word, and readily agreed.
"Third brother and sister, you go back first and prepare the things you want to bring when you go out, and I will arrange the carriage for you, and let them wait for you directly at the second gate when the time comes."
Xiao Ji felt that he had accomplished a big thing, and happily went back to Fangzhi Courtyard.
In Fangzhi Courtyard, Tong Jiayan had already taken care of Tong Jianian and had breakfast, and Tong Jiaxin also happened to come over to say hello to Xiao Ji.
Seeing that everyone was there, Xiao Ji said happily: "We will all go to the street for a while, and Jiaxin will also be together." ”
Tong Jiaxin originally planned to go back after inviting An, but when she heard this, she asked in a hurry: "Mother, can I go back and change my clothes first?" ”
Xiao Ji nodded indifferently, and said very well: "Of course you can, you can change your clothes and come over, I'll wait for you here." ”
Tong Jiaxin left in a hurry.
Xiao Ji asked Tong Jiayan again: "Do you need to go back and change your clothes?" ”
Tong Jiaxin was wiping Tong Jianian's mouth, and when she heard this, she raised her head and smiled: "I think I wear this outfit very well, so I don't have to change it." ”
Xiao Ji looked at her aqua blue dress, nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Our good words are beautiful, and they look good in any clothes." After a while, we went to the street and went to the ready-to-wear store. See if there are any clothes that fit you, and your mother will buy them for you. ”
Tong Jiayan would not dismiss her kindness, and thanked her first with a smile.
……
Speaking of which, this is the first time Tong Jiayan has gone out shopping since he woke up from rebirth.
Jinling also served as the ancient capital of the old dynasty in the past, and the prosperous imprints left by it can be seen everywhere.
Although Xiao Ji herself is also from Jinling, she has been in other cities with Tong Changqing for many years, and her impression of Jinling is still stuck when she left.
The street was full of shops, and Xiao Ji was dazzled, which was very different from before, and she didn't know where to start for a while.
Or Tong Jiayan saw her predicament, and tentatively proposed: "Didn't my mother say that she wanted to go to the ready-to-wear store to have a look?" When I was at home, I heard my aunt mention that there was a shop on East Street called Jinxiu Yizhuang that sold very good clothes, and it was quite popular among the wives in Jinling City. Why don't we take a look too? ”
Xiao Ji nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "Then go and have a look." ”
With a clear goal, it's much faster to find a way around.
The location of the famous shops is generally very conspicuous, and there are almost no people in Jinling City who do not know about the splendid clothing village.
The driver of the car parked the car directly at the door of the splendid clothing village.
Not only is the shop very easy to find, but even the sign hanging at the door is also prominent.
When Tong Jiayan stepped into the threshold, he looked up at a gold-lettered signboard hanging above his head.
I don't know which person's handwriting it is, but it reveals a bit of elegance in it.
As soon as you enter the door, the most eye-catching thing is a woman dressed in blue and gray clothes, who is a maid who specializes in entertaining and serving distinguished guests.
Soon, a goose-faced maid stepped forward and greeted Xiao Ji's group.
"Madame, please come in."
Xiao Ji's face was full of surprise and novelty.
"What would Madame like to see? Do you want to see the fabric or the ready-to-wear? ”
The maids of the Silk Village are specially trained and know how to serve customers.
Xiao Ji hurriedly said, "Is there any clothes suitable for their little girls to wear good-looking?" ”
The maid looked at Tong Jiayan and the others very measuredly, and the flattery in her mouth came as soon as she opened her mouth: "Madame is so blessed, several young ladies are born as beautiful as flowers, and each has its own autumn color, and we really have a few clothes in the store for a few young ladies to try." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to the ready-to-wear rack on the side and picked out three clothes with completely different styles.
The maid gave Tong Jiayan a set of red water-sleeved skirts, Tong Jiaxin a set of tender yellow dresses, and Tong Jianian a set of peach pink coats.
Tong Jiaxin glanced at the clothes in her hand, although she also thought it looked good, she couldn't help but look at the red clothes in Tong Jiayan's hand, and asked greedily, "Why did you choose red clothes for my seventh sister?" My sister has always liked to wear only plain clothes.
