When you can see the city gate from afar, it is already dark, Yusu carries a lantern, a horse to meet up, with a car or a dozen horses, through several brightly lit lively streets, turn into a spacious alley, the car directly into a courtyard gate that looks very magnificent, stop behind the shadow wall, a few mothers-in-law to meet up, put down the pedals, open the curtain.

Yushu got out of the car first, and then carefully helped Li Yan down, Li Yan got out of the car, turned his head and looked around.

"This is the Xiaomingyuan Inn." Yusu took half a step forward, bowed slightly and said with a smile: "The master instructed to stop in Nanyang City for a few more days, and prepare the manpower, car, and everything that the girl needs to use on the road before setting off." ”

Li Yan snorted and followed his mother-in-law inside.

Passing through a small garden, several mothers-in-law stopped in front of a small courtyard surrounded by a low undulating daughter wall, and four or five middle-aged women in the courtyard greeted them, stood on both sides of the courtyard gate, let Li Yan and Yushu in, and led the two of them along the small verandah into the upper room.

The upper room was brightly lit, and the warm breeze with a fragrant fragrance was blowing in his face, and Li Yan sighed comfortably.

The hot water in the clean room was ready, several middle-aged servant women were neat, changed the hot water a few times, Li Yan took a bath comfortably, came out to change his clothes, the meal had been delivered, and a warm pot was placed on the table.

After eating, the servant woman gave Li Yan a gift, brought a tall and thin old doctor in, carefully checked the pulse, looked at the wound, prescribed a prescription, and after a while, she sent medicine in, Yushu smeared medicine on a few wounds on Li Yan's face that were still scabbed and had not faded, and Li Yan's already sleepy eyelids fought.

Li Yan's pillow was dark and sweet, and he slept until the next day, and when he woke up, he only felt comfortable, and the pain and fatigue of these days were all taken away by this sleep.

Just after breakfast, the servant woman brought Yusu in and reported through the curtain: "Girl, the master asked the girl if she was better, if she was better, the master accompanied the girl to buy some things." ”

"Much better, let's go now?" Li Yan stood up.

"Yes, I'm waiting outside." Yusu lowered her hand to the side, waited for Li Yan to come out, and then lowered her hand to follow.

Outside the courtyard gate, Pei Qing was wearing an indigo gown, standing under a plum tree, looking up at a pair of chirping and arguing birds on the tree, looking with great interest.

Li Yan stood on the steps and looked at Pei Qing slightly. She had seen him many times, but it was the first time she had looked at him so carefully, and it was the first time that she had looked at him as a young man—just a young, very good-looking young man.

The two birds suddenly jumped and walked away, Pei Qing turned his head, met Li Yan's gaze, and showed a bright smile, "Let's go." ”

Li Yan went down the steps, Pei Qing looked at her coming, turned around, and walked forward side by side with her, "Go to the ready-to-wear shop first, pick out the clothes, and then pick out some hairpin rings." ”

Li Yan snorted, and a strange feeling surged in his heart. It's no wonder that this is the first time she has been accompanied by a young man to buy clothes and jewelry, and the other party has paid for it.

Pei Qing took Li Yan through the garden, and then walked through an alley with high walls on both sides, turned a corner, and came to a wide street full of people and bustling.

Pei Qing leaned sideways slightly, escorted Li Yan through the street, and entered a shop on the opposite side that was draped in red and brightly painted.

A middle-aged housekeeper hurriedly walked up to meet him, Yusu greeted him and said a few words, and the middle-aged housekeeper hurriedly called two mothers-in-law in silk clothes and silk skirts to come over, one in front and one in the back, and diligently led Li Yan and Pei Qing into a very spacious compartment.

The girl looked at her. The mother-in-law smiled and talked to Li Yanpan, "The first trip to the trumpet?" That has to bother the girl, you have to measure the girl's size first, the girl is here, and the eldest sister is also here. ”

After the mother-in-law let Li Yan and Yushu to the curtain, several embroidery girls carefully measured the size, and traced the footsteps, and they were busy for two quarters of an hour before they were counted.

Li Yan turned out from behind the curtain, Pei Qing sat on the top chair, sipping tea, saw Li Yan come out, stood up, and motioned to the long table next to him that was full of silk and fur, "You are afraid of the cold, make a few more big wool clothes, these mink skins are okay, let them make you two cloaks, these silver foxes are okay, make cloaks and jackets." ”

Li Yan's hand brushed over the silky fur, and the two mothers-in-law had already shaken off the satin one by one, "These sables are dark in color, and they can be suppressed best with red indigo, how about the girl look at this dark silk material?" This material looks old-fashioned, in fact, the upper body is the most flattering, the girl is so good, this material is lining, it is really more watery than shallots......"

The two mothers-in-law enthusiastically surrounded Li Yan to sell, Li Yan's head was a little dizzy when he heard it, what kind of silk brocade feather yarn weaving Jinni, what is it for?

"Two mink cloaks with these two silk materials." Pei Qing, who was standing behind Li Yan, spoke, "The silver fox uses brocade, these materials, make a few pieces of each, and let the embroidery girl look at the matching." ”

Li Yan stared at the dozens of silk horses on the long case, making one for each of them......

"Yes, yes, yes!" The two mothers-in-law smiled, kept agreeing, kept bending their knees, this business is worth a year of hard work.

Li Yan followed Pei Qing out of the garment workshop, stood at the door of the shop, and looked back at the two mothers-in-law who were still bending their knees, a little in a trance.

"Tired?" Pei Qing looked at Li Yan, who was in a bit of a trance, and said with concern.

"No, I'm thinking, how many clothes have been made."

Pei Qing laughed, "What do you want to do with this?" If we weren't tired, we would have walked over for half an hour. Pei Qing motioned for Li Yan to move forward, Li Yan lowered his head, a little worried, how can he pay back all this money and favors? What should I do if I can't pay it back?

Pei Qing looked at Li Yan, who was stunned all the way, then looked back at Yushu who was following behind, and then looked at Li Yan, and with Li Yan's stride, he didn't speak.

"Here it is." Passing by an alley, seeing that Li Yan was about to walk over, Pei Qing stretched out his hand to block Li Yan's shoulder and gently pushed her into the alley.

Entering from a small door in the alley, this jewelry store is like a house yard of a family, the shopkeeper let Pei Qing and Li Yan enter the flower hall all the way, and there is a wide long case in the middle of the flower hall, and a few small people are holding large and small boxes, and after a while, the long case is full, and the pearls and jade in the box are shining with soft but dazzling light, and all kinds of red gold jewelry are piled together.

Li Yan stood beside the long case, dazzled to the point of being a little numb.

The most valuable piece of jewelry she ever owned was a cornflower sapphire ring of more than a carat point, and any one of these in front of her was probably worth more than her ring.
