I saw that Ning Ze only wrote one word on this reply: "Hmm"

This is really out of Qi Shu's expectations, I didn't expect it to be such a reply, some of it is very cute.

How did she know that Ning Ze racked his brains in the study and thought left and right before he held back such a word, which not only seemed that he was not cold, nor too enthusiastic, nor hypocritical, but just a little arrogant.

It seems that the character of this Guanghan Wang Leng is also very interesting, and tomorrow's Shangyuan Festival must be very interesting, Qi Shu couldn't help but look forward to it secretly.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival.

Qi Shu got up early, prepared to get dressed and washed, called two maids, and told the green orange ink bamboo yesterday that today's makeup should be light, elegant and solemn. She doesn't like heavy makeup, and after applying too much fat powder, she feels itchy and uncomfortable on her face.

Mo Zhu brought the hot water basin, and Green Tang put up a handkerchief and entered the door.

Before I saw him, I heard his voice first, and the green orange couldn't bear it and said first: "Miss, why don't you use the jewelry rewarded by Your Majesty for the festival today, the county officiating ceremony is all good-looking and tight." "When the rewarded things came down and returned to Qi Shu to tidy up, the green orange also saw it.

"Mouthy!" Mo Zhu scolded.

Midori looked at it, stamped his foot, pouted and stopped talking.

Qi Shu chuckled and shook his head: "Those must be used on formal occasions, and besides, going out to play for the festival is leisure, the more precious it is, the easier it is to attract the peep of others. ”

"Yes, miss."

took off her middle coat, Mo Zhu hurriedly wrapped Qi Shu in a jacket to keep warm, the young lady's body was thin, no matter how much she wore it, she would not look bloated, and then put on a light pink cotton skirt, and then put on a cloak when she went out.

Mozhu first knotted the hair at the top, then tied it with a silk rope in the strands, bent it into a mustache, supported it with a pillar, combed a hanging mustache and divided it into a bun, left it to tie up a single one and put it in front of the shoulder, and then decorated it with some hollow small golden butterflies on the head, and did not dare to add more gorgeousness at the request of Qi Shu, slightly delicate. asked Qi Shu if he wanted to use earrings, Qi Shu thought about it and felt that he didn't want to wear them, so he refused.

After the green orange cleaned Qi Shu's face, he slightly modified it, drew his eyebrows, and did not apply makeup powder and rouge, Qi Shu's skin was excellent, fair, silky and pink, if he retouched it more, it would look a little contrived.

"Miss, do you want to go to the front hall or is it right in the house for breakfast?" After Mozhu made it for Qi Shu, he thought that it should be time to eat next.

"Did you use it? If you don't have one, let's take it to the house together. "The sound of firecrackers outside has been sounding one after another, and it must be extremely lively outside today.

"Yes, miss." Green Tangerine and Qi Shu looked at each other and said happily. The two of them also got up early, and if the master didn't eat, where could they eat?

After a busy time, the three masters and servants sat down at the table contentedly.

Qi Shu thought that it was still very early before the appointment with Ning Ze, why don't you go out for a walk first? "Are you two going home today to save your relatives or to visit your old friends?"

"Miss, we have been in the mansion, the master said, Mozhu and I have to accompany you all the time, and we have to report to him about everything." Green Tachibana said without thinking.

"So? I'm going to go shopping in the morning and eat out at noon, so you're with me? ”

"Okay, Miss, I know a lot of fun places in the city, I'll take you there." Green Tangerine said excitedly that her father was a small street vendor in the city who often took her around the streets and alleys, and she was very excited to think about it.

"Well, what about you?" Glancing at the silent Mo Zhu next to her, Qi Shu asked with concern, how did she feel that Mo Zhu seemed to be in a daze.

"Mozhu is Miss Zi, she goes wherever she goes."

"Alright, pack up and get ready to go, and go out through the side door of my yard." Qi Shu clapped his hands and said!

Sick at home repeatedly sick for a long time, have not been out of the wind or the like, quite a bit boring, although the sky is dark not like a sunny day, but such a festival, the street must be crowded, lively!

Qi Shu asked the two maids to prepare the burden of silver taels, and she herself went to the front hall to greet her father and mother first, and then reported the matter of leaving the house.

When we got to the front room, unsurprisingly, there were five more people.

Qi Shangshu married a wife and a concubine, the main wife is named Tang Lian, has a son and a daughter, Qi Shu is the eldest daughter, Qi Wen is the younger brother, the concubine is named Wu Zi, and has a daughter, Qi Luo. Qi Wen is still young and still in infancy, and Qi Luo is fifteen years old and has not yet married.

To say that before Qi Shangshu married a concubine, he and Tang Lian could be regarded as raising the case Qi Mei Qin Se and Ming, by chance, Qi Shangshu went to the countryside to perform official duties, and when he came back, he brought a peasant girl back, which is now the concubine Wu Zi. Less than a year after entering the door, Qi Luo was born.

Qi Shu greeted them one by one, and then walked to Tang Lian's side and teased Qi Wen in her arms, smiling and explaining his intentions.

Qi Shangshu was a little dissatisfied, he didn't know if it was his delusion, he always felt that Qi Shu had become more and more unpopular after winning the position of county lord, and he was becoming more and more bold, and he didn't even eat today!

"What? You're going alone? Not with your sister? ”

"It's good if my sister wants to go with me." Qi Shu smiled shallowly, and didn't seem to care about it, everyone in the mansion knew that Qi Shu was going to see Prince Ning Ze today, Qi Shangshu said this, that is, let the two daughters go to see him, quite a little like offering his daughter. Isn't that a bit too much?

Qi Luo glanced at Qi Shu timidly, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Thank you, sister, Qi Luo is willing." Aunt Wu's expression was cold and indifferent, as if she didn't care much.

"Okay, that sister came to me at the Twilight Tavern at the time of the unitary time, I'm going to go out of the house to buy some things first, okay?"

Qi Qin nodded, and Qi Shu saw that everyone had no opinions, so he retreated with a smile on his face. Whenever this ceremony has to be done.

By the time Qi Shu returned to Wanran Garden, Mo Zhu and Green Orange were already standing at the door waiting.

"Alright, let's get out of the house."

Fang Zai said in the dining room to buy things, in fact, it is not to buy things but to go shopping, there are ready-made things in the house, but there is no novelty and fun on the street.

The three of them ran out of the house and into the street.

The ground of Shaoliang City is mostly made of green bricks, and the occasional potholes and gaps that are neatly paved will also be repaired, of course, these are not repaired by the officials, but by the merchants responsible for contracting the streets.

As for why, that's a bit of a stretch. When the Wei State rebuilt the bridges and streets, the treasury was not too full, and it was mostly used to comfort the people and recuperate.

Since the capital is built with less beams, you have to spend time on construction, but I am not afraid that no one will move here, but this bridge and road stack or something, so Her Majesty the Empress put forward the idea of donating the road.

The streets and alleys in Shaoliang City are all clear, and the soldiers and civil officials regularly hold competition projects, and the regulations are roughly as follows: any competing merchants can not exceed three streets, the naming is determined by the contracted merchants, and then registered in the register, valid for a hundred years, after a hundred years, it will be re-planned and governed by the official family, and the princes and nobles, civil and military officials are not allowed to participate.

When this policy was first promulgated, there was a national sensation, especially those royal nobles were not allowed to participate, and the large merchants scattered all over the country hoped to have their own storefronts in Beijing and be able to name a street, which was a living signboard, and His Majesty said that the name would not interfere, which gave the merchants full trust.

In the implementation of this policy also beheaded a lot of illegal operations of the merchant officials, iron-blooded criminal law everyone is shocked, are no longer afraid to violate the rules and regulations according to the charter, since ancient times heavy agriculture and suppression of business is the norm, but due to the unstable foundation of the founding of the Wei State, can gather money and wealth can also effortlessly erase the mark of the previous dynasty, and can use this to gain the trust of the people, this so-called killing a few birds with one stone, as for the negligence, the stronger the country will be, the closer the day of the solution, since it is slowly drawing. This is also the reason why the business in Shaoliang City is prosperous.

It is said that Qi Shu and his entourage went to Xizi Street, the most prosperous street, and the merchant who contracted this street was a merchant in Jiangnan, and somehow it was not named after himself or his business like other streets.

The location of this Xizi Street is also excellent, in the southwest of Shaoliang City, the streets and houses are distributed along the river, the east and west streets are opposite, the end is connected with other streets in the north and south, the middle river finally flows into the Asakusa Lake, constituting a cross-shaped pattern, the texture of the streets and alleys is complete, the streets on both sides of the river are built by the water, and it is very convenient for pedestrians to come by boat, there are three bridges on the river, which is evenly divided into this river, and each bridge also has its own name.

The one near the center of the city is called Fukushou Bridge, the one in the middle is called Lover's Bridge, and the one near Asakusa Lake is called Zaosheng Bridge, which correspond to the three best moments of life. That is, longevity, marriage, and childbearing.

Painting boat cruise ships are mostly docked on Asakusa Lake, there are Kabuki geisha, there are also poetry clubs, it can be said that there are many tastes of leisure in daily life, eating tea, drinking wine, food, talking about scriptures, and prostitutes are all on this street and a lake, can it not be prosperous?

Those who walk the streets and alleys to sell cakes and sell all kinds of snacks also stay around here.

No, when Qi Shu and his party arrived at the entrance of Xizi Street and hadn't entered, they were already holding a citrus in their hands.

Qi Shu peeled it off and bit it lightly, his teeth were sour, his eyes couldn't help but squint, and he turned his head to look at the two girls, only to see that the green orange had already eaten most of it, and Mo Zhu's was just holding it in his hand and not moving to watch the green orange eating.

"Sour?" Qi Shu felt sour when he ate it.

"It's not sour, it's not sour, Miss isn't sour at all." Green oranges like to eat this, just now when the vendor passed by to buy it, she did not hesitate to take several, this citrus said to be an ugly orange transported from other places, it looks very bad.

"Oh, I'm afraid this one of mine is sour." Qi Shu pursed his lips, a little annoyed.

Not only Xizi Street, but also other streets are lit up, dancing dragons, flying colorful phoenixes, and everywhere is full of brilliance. From time to time, there are fine music string songs in the song workshop, the literati and ink writers are rough and the big men drink orders, the old couple takes their grandchildren to stay in the pear orchard to watch the drama and laugh and eat peanuts and melon seeds to eat the Lantern Festival abound, the pigtail hand carries the sausage like a cannon battle, the other hand holds the incense, wants to order but does not dare to order, the children next to him cover their ears and hide aside, the street performance juggling onlookers are willing to reward money, very lively.

Qi Shu has seen such a street scene along the way, everyone is happy to see it, and Qi Shu feels comfortable and happy.

In the morning, I walked around the city at will, and I was ready to have lunch when I arrived at Xizi Street, saying that the restaurants and restaurants there were very good.

Green Tangerine has eaten miscellaneous mouths all the way and has not stopped, but I don't feel how hungry I am, but at noon, Miss should also use the meal, why don't you go and eat Yangchun noodles? The plan of the year lies in the spring, and today is the beginning of the yuan.

"Miss, I ......" The words have not yet come out, but out of the corner of their eyes, they glimpse that there is no one beside them? Green Orange's eyes widened in horror, what about the young lady who was walking next to her just now? What about the ink bamboo? Huh? What about people? Why is it all gone?

When I turned around and looked back, I was shocked! A lady with a monkey butt who is wearing a big show and looks like a big three coarse makeup is dragging the young lady inside! Look up at the sign, my mother!

"What?!" Ning Ze grabbed Ning San's collar who came back to report, and said in shock.
