Chapter 36 West Market

"It's not!" Lin Zhaoxian's unwelcome is still overflowing.

"Humph!" If it hadn't been for the rumors that there were unspeakably expensive guests in this house today, it would have been much rarer for me to come to this dilapidated portal.

"Then you should criticize the person who invited you to come, one does not welcome you, and the other does not report; It's like an uninvited villain. It's not good to force people to come to the house! "Yiyi can't get used to her unstoppable appearance in other people's homes, shouldn't normal people be low-key?

"You are Lin Yiyi?" Zuo Yuqin was too lazy to do Tai Chi anymore, and directly tore her face, which was what made her always happy.

"In the Lin family, you should call me Miss." Yiyi saw that she was raising her head-on and poking the tip of her right index finger at the noodle point. I imagined that it would be too ugly to throw this brutal girl with her fingers, wrists, armpits, and over-the-shoulder throws with her strength.

"Little Miss!" Mother You happened to come to the backyard to pick up something, and when she saw this posture, there was Yiyi's quietly expectant eyes. Suddenly, the hairs exploded, and subconsciously stopped it directly.

Sure enough, it was her! Yiyi has almost no impression of Zuo Yuqin, but she has always known that she exists.

"Mother You!" Reinforcements came, and Zuo Yuqin was more confident.

Mother You shook her head at her, turned to Yi Yi and saluted: "Miss!" Mother You doesn't often salute the second lady Lin Yiliu, but the eldest lady's temper seems to be a little bad, and Mother You still feels cautious.

Yiyi smiled and responded with a bow. "Third uncle, let's go back first!"

"Well, let's go!" If Lin Zhaoxian hadn't been to accompany his eldest niece, he would have basically not set foot in the main courtyard, although he had a lot of childhood memories here, but it was even sadder if things were not coming.

Mother You also hurriedly pulled Zuo Yuqin back to the main room. After smashing the bowl here, Zuo Yuqin stopped angrily.

"Mother, you just let that uneducated girl bully me?" He Shi waved his hand, the maids all retreated, and Yanbo and Cuiliu personally guarded the door: "You can't hold your breath like this?" "He's headache about his daughter's marriage has not been a day or two, and the difference is naturally because he is afraid that the grievances will delay his daughter; But as the years go by, it becomes more and more difficult to get ready. "I'm seventeen or eighteen, and I'm still like a child. She just came back from overseas, should I punish her as soon as she comes home? What's more, she is not an ordinary lady, she has an official position, and she is also a grandfather at home. ”

"I'm only seventeen, I'm eighteen!" Thinking of the purpose of coming, since Zuo Yuqin's anger had already been sprinkled, he coaxed his mother to talk about the topic. The conceit of the early years and the ambition of climbing the dragon and the phoenix have been re-energized.

In that family, the grandfather thought that his brother was a man, and he had a lot of plans, so he didn't care about himself, and just let the eldest aunt arrange it. The ones who picked them were either from a bad family background or ugly, and they just wanted to send themselves away, and they were not born by a little girl, how could they let her go out at will......

Yiyi saw that it was too early for dinner now, so she said that she wanted to go to the West Market on the side to see, which was Qingyunli in the south and south and second, and it would only take ten minutes to walk.

"I'll take you there! You've just come back, and your eyes are black, and you can't tell where you are. "The third uncle is also not at ease, shopping or something, it has always been a girl's favorite.

The two went back to the courtyard to see that Lin Zhaode was still very stable, and explained that Xianglan and Jasmine were optimistic about the uncle's family, cooked the meals in the courtyard and the third uncle's entourage, and went to the second room to call for help, etc., before beckoning Qingzhu to lead the coachman out of the third uncle's carriage.

After all, it's not too early, and it's better to get back quickly by car.

Miyan Capital City is built very square, if it is compared to a square and upright tofu, from the middle of the rear, the position of the palace, its orientation is left east, right west, up to the north, down to the south.

If this piece of tofu is cut vertically into two knives and evenly divided into three long strips, it is the eastern, central, and western districts of the capital; If you cut it horizontally in the middle and divide it into six even pieces, it is the upper and lower sections of the three zones.

The upper half of the north end of the capital is composed of three or fifteen miles of the larger east and west, guarding the imperial city in the middle on the left and right; The lower half is a slightly smaller thing with three or seven twenty-one miles, and the left and right sides are accompanied by the Suzaku Forty Miles Square located in front of the Imperial City and in the center.

Mikyo has five main streets that run through the city.

The horizontal is: Anning Road - located in the north five roads outside the Suzaku Gate at the south gate of the imperial city, which is the position of a horizontal cut up and down, connecting the eastern, central and western districts of the city left and right.

Vertically from east to west are: Qingzhuang Street, Hongzhi Street, Lingxiao Street, Baiyun Street, the east and west districts are roughly divided into three small strips in order for Anju Society, Hongzhili, Shengye Society, Chongxian Society, Qingyunli, Xiude Society. There are 83 roads in the north and 5 in the south, and each of them is divided into 13 miles, which runs through the east and west ends of the city up and down.

Mijing has two cities, east and west, respectively in the south of Anning Road in Hongzhili and Qingyunli, in the east-west symmetrical position of Miyan City. It is the middle ground between the north and the south.

A few minutes to the West Market, today is the 17th, the West Market is full of bustling pedestrians, worthy of being one of the most lively Beijing business center CBD.

Xun officials are on holiday days every 10 days, the feasts and drinks of various provinces, and the shopping of wine, food and gifts on that day is intensive, and the bazaar will be more lively.

In the west market and the east market, the two streets parallel to the top and bottom and left and right are in the shape of "well", and there are two doors on each side, and the market is divided into nine grids. In this way, all the shops are open to the street.

On the way, Yiyi discussed with the third uncle, and today I will go to the cloth shop and the pen and ink shop to have a look.

As soon as the carriage entered the market from the southwest gate, the sound of chattering and selling in various accents poured in from outside the curtain of the carriage.

Today's bazaar is mostly for purchases from various provinces, and there are also merchants and scholars from various countries living in the market, which is very exotic. Those gorgeous cross-dressers who look around and look at everything is fresh and interesting, and their eyes are full of brilliance, and they are undoubtedly foreign envoys who come to Xun for the first time.

Yiyi even saw the Edhab envoys, and hurriedly lowered the curtains, the time was very tight today, but there was no time to entertain them.

The carriage stopped on Buhang Xiayun Street, and Yiyi got out of the carriage with the third uncle. The silkworm textile industry of Xun country is very developed, and the cloth shop in the west market looks quite large-scale at a glance, and all kinds of cloth are displayed at the door, and the colors of a piece are varied. The uncle and nephew raised their feet and entered the Thousand Silk Pavilion on the right-hand side,

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged chubby man, smiling kindly: "Two guest officers, I don't know what fabrics you want to choose?" ”

Yiyi saw that the third uncle signaled her to make her own decision, so she said directly: "Shopkeeper, I'll take a look at the thick and densely woven cotton cloth first." ”

The shopkeeper summoned a young man, took Yiyi to the cotton counter on the right, and greeted Lin Zhaoxian by his side.

Yiyi only looked at light-colored cotton cloth, and in ancient times it seemed that pure white sheets and quilts would not work. He pointed to ivory yellow, moonlight blue and hibiscus red and asked the price. The red thirteen wen one foot; The blue and yellow ones are ten cents a foot. I asked a few more about the price of a pair of glossy satins, and the middle-class and upper-class ones were generally about 30 wen per foot.

When I first came to the market, I didn't know the market. Seeing that the color of the hibiscus red cotton cloth in the store was soft and natural, I first asked for an eighteen-foot shop and a cover. Two hundred and thirty-four Wen is the first money spent by Yiyi in Xun Kingdom.

The two went out, and the man helped to bring the ruler to the carriage. Yiyi asked Yixing's third uncle to wait in the car, and took Qingzhu to go shopping along the road.
