Early the next morning, I saw Liu An, a little boy in Baicaotang, driving a carriage to pick up Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan asked him, and Liu An only said that Liu Sinian sent him.

Because Liu Sinian and Liu Siyun said that they would meet today when they left yesterday, Xie Qingshan and his wife were not surprised. Because the identity of the Liu brothers and sisters is not ordinary, Xie Qingshan told her to get along with Liu Sinian and Liu Siyun's brothers and sisters, and gave her a string of money, Xie Xuan nodded and agreed, took the money and got into the carriage.

But it was said that Li Lian saw that there was actually a carriage to pick up Xie Xuan to the county seat, and seeing that Xie Xuan was wearing a beautiful and clean skirt and getting into the carriage, and her grandfather actually stuffed her with money, she was jealous in her heart, and ran forward to pick up the wheels of the carriage, and shouted loudly: "Xuanxuan, what are you doing in the county seat?" I'm going too! ”

Xie Xuan lifted the curtain with one hand, and when she saw Li Lian's envious and jealous face, she couldn't help but say helplessly: "Second sister, I have something to do!" ”

"You're older, what's the matter? Isn't it just to go to the county seat to buy food and drink and play, and you don't want to take us! Li Lian just grabbed the wheel and didn't let go, looked at Xie Xuan who was sitting on the soft mattress of the carriage, and said with unwilling eyes.

"Our vegetable shed is Wu Qingxi's pickpocket, but the thief who stole the vegetables hasn't been found yet, and the little official of the Liu family said that he wants to find someone to help us find clues! If you want me to ask questions, it's not to go to the county seat to play! Xie Xuan said speechlessly.

Xie Qingshan knew about this, and yesterday Liu Sinian and his sister told Xie Qingshan when they left.

Xie Qingshan shouted to Li Lian: "Xuanxuan has something to do, don't be naughty." If you want to go to the county seat, when our family has engaged your brother-in-law in the past two days, I will take a few of you to the county seat to tailor clothes, and you can eat or play when the time comes! ”

Li Lian hesitated for a while, still a little unconvinced, gritted her teeth and said, "She is younger than me, what's the matter?" I don't care, if she goes, I have to go! If you don't let me go, no one will want to go! ”

Xie Xuan frowned and looked at Li Lian, remembering that these days, this bear child was jealous and provocative of her, competing to be the first everywhere, and she was angry in her heart for a while, and she wanted to scold her a few words.

"Lian'er! You let it go! Hui Niang pulled Li Lian back to her side, "Your sister is really in trouble!" Why are you not sensible at all, you don't even listen to grandpa's words! If you don't obey again, go back to your grandmother's house!" ”

Hearing the words "go back to grandma's house", Li Lian couldn't help but shudder, her originally straight and stubborn waist bent down, although her mouth was tall, but she didn't speak after all.

Xie Qingshan gave Liu An two cents of silver, told him to take care of Xie Xuan, and the carriage ran towards the county seat.

When they arrived at Baicaotang, the county seat, Liu Sinian and Liu Siyun were already impatient with reading medical books in the inner hall, and when they saw Xie Xuan coming, they immediately got into the carriage and asked Liu An to go to Xinglong Restaurant on Tongque Street.

"Xuanxuan, my second brother and I have been waiting for you for a long time! You're so slow! Liu Siyun is a straightforward person, while complaining, she took out two pieces of candy from her purse and handed them to Xie Xuan, "Here, this is the best pear paste candy I brought from the capital, you can taste it, eat it to moisten your lungs and clear your throat, sweet and moist!" ”

Xie Xuan took the pear paste candy, and looked up to see Liu Siyun holding the girl's hair and sideburns, wearing a red embroidered lotus pond waterfowl jade silk jacket, a yellow satin moon skirt, and a pink and blue satin pouch with a thin pinch of silk threads around her waist, which was delicate and pretty.

Liu Sinian was dressed in a lake-colored flowing cloud Wanfu pattern and a Confucian scarf, which added a bit of Sven atmosphere to this heroic young man.

The pear paste candy slowly melts in the mouth, slowly becomes soft, and there is a bit of toughness when chewing, not sweet and greasy, but sweet with pears, which is indeed better than ordinary sugar.

"It's really sweet, and it's still good for you! The sesame candy and maltose we bought on the street yesterday are not as delicious! Xie Xuan praised her.

"Yes! I just said, there are many delicious things in the capital, and there is nothing delicious and fun in Linzhang County, and I'm about to suffocate to death! Liu Siyun complained.

"Huh? Who told me yesterday that today I was going to Xinglong Restaurant to find the shopkeeper Xingshi to ask for guilt? Why do you feel bored today, or send you back? Liu Sinian made a gesture to call Liu An to turn the carriage around and turn back.

"Stinky second brother! Bad second brother! You can't make me complain! Liu Siyun was annoyed and ashamed, and slapped Liu Sinian twice in the back.

Xie Xuan watched with a smile and didn't stop it.

She understood what Liu Siyun meant, but the little girl wanted to show off the good places she had been, the good things she ate, and the new toys she got in front of her friends. When showing off, you always have to compare something, and you don't necessarily feel that Linzhang County is really bad.

After a fight, the three of them discussed how to find out about the merchant who sold leeks and garlic.

"How to check? Let's go directly to the shopkeeper and tell him that the food he bought is stolen, and if he doesn't want to take the lawsuit, he will honestly tell us the origin of the merchant! Liu Siyun pursed her lips and said disdainfully.

Liu Sinian and Xie Xuan looked at each other, and for a while they really felt that this was the only way to be the most direct.

"The man pretended to be a merchant, explaining that he didn't want to be known, and he didn't look for the six restaurants that our family supplied, but instead found the Xinglong Restaurant, which was a second-class restaurant, indicating that he knew clearly about our family's supply to the six restaurants. Only locals, and people who know us, can do this! Xie Xuan analyzed:

"That day, we asked the vendors on the street, and they said that he was wearing a green coat and brown caftan, a six-in-one hat on his head, and a long half-arm on the outside. Dressed up in a strange way, I definitely don't want people to recognize it, maybe it's someone we know in our family! ”

It turns out that caftan brown is a kind of upper and lower pants clothing, which is a typical dress for low-level working people such as farmers and servants, and the six-in-one hat is also a hat worn by servants and low-level talents. And the long body and half arms, the Yuan Dynasty was also called the protector, because of the Sui Dynasty internal official uniform, has always been a costume worn by people with status, this person is used to put on the outside of the caftan brown, it is a little nondescript, no wonder others say "dress up strange looks".

You know, ancient China has always had a relatively strict clothing system, each class in ancient times has its own unique clothing, want to judge a person's status, as long as you look at his dress, you can basically judge which class he belongs to.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang even incorporated the clothing of all the officials, people, women and children into the state system, and people of different levels had their own rules for wearing clothes.

Although in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the social commodity economy gradually penetrated into people's lives, textiles, printing and dyeing, garment processing and other handicrafts became more and more developed, clothing fashion also rose among the gentry and merchants, and all kinds of "transgression" phenomena appeared repeatedly, but this appeared among the rich squires and officials, where did the ordinary peasant servants have the money to "trespass"? !

"Xuanxuan's analysis is very correct, then let's go to the shopkeeper of Xinglong Restaurant!" Liu Sinian took away the meaningful look of the previous two days, as if nothing had happened, and nodded in praise.

"It's long overdue, what do you want to do so much!" Liu Siyun said triumphantly.
