Chapter 40: A Chance Encounter with the Prince
If the carriage of the late Qing Dynasty walked slowly on the street, looking at the bustle of the street, if the late Qing Dynasty was in a trance, as if he was a little out of place with the outside world.
"Huh? Stop for a moment. Ruowanqing didn't know what he saw, so he hurriedly stopped the coachman.
When Hongliu helped Ruo Wanqing to get out of the carriage, what came into view was the three words "Silk Satin Pavilion". Looking in from the outside of the door, some satin fabric can be faintly seen.
If you walk into the store in the late Qing Dynasty, you will find that what you see from the door can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg.
The store is very spacious, with a place for silk fabrics on the left and ready-to-wear garments on the right.
If the late Qing Dynasty walked to the front of the ready-to-wear, one by one began to slowly pick up. The shopkeeper didn't say much, and when he saw that the dress of the late Qing Dynasty should also be a rich family, he didn't stop it.
"Shopkeeper, what is this dress?" I saw Ruowanqing pick up a skirt and ask the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked up, and then said, "This is an embroidered makeup dress." ”
"Embroidered dress?" Ruo Wanqing repeated it in his mouth, and then carefully looked at the clothes in his hand.
This embroidered dress is made of fine cotton and is made of crescent white, with two finger-wide royal blue embroidery stripes on the cuffs and skirt, and small budding flowers embroidered in white and pale pink on the stripes.
There is a hidden line embroidered impatiens on the armpit to the side waist, and a small butterfly is embroidered on the right side of the flower, and the impatiens petals are embroidered from the side waist to the backbone, as if blown by the wind.
If Wanqing was satisfied with this dress, he took the clothes and looked left and right, and then compared them to his body, and asked Hongliu to give him a reference.
About fifteen minutes later, Ruo Wanqing came to the shopkeeper with this dress and asked for the price, and the shopkeeper flipped through the records, well, it can be sold. Then he said, "80 taels." ”
When Hongliu heard this, he secretly smacked his tongue: "80 taels, I can't afford to wear this dress for the rest of my life." ”
If the late Qing Dynasty thinks it doesn't matter, 80 taels still doesn't need to worry about anything for her.
If Wanqing was just about to pay, he heard a low male voice at the door: "It's better to let the girl do the work for you." ”
There were some doubts, if the late Qing Dynasty looked back, she saw a young man standing behind her, with a hairband on his head, wearing a dark blue gold and silver silk cotton suit, stepping on black cloud brocade embroidered boots, standing there in high spirits.
This young man is none other than Prince Qilin Yi.
Qilin Yi saw that Ruo Wanqing was a little confused, so he stepped forward and said, "I happened to pass by below, and saw the girl's silhouette with clouds and temples like silk, and her eyebrows and eyes like stars, so I stopped and couldn't bear to walk again." I don't know if I can have the honor to invite the girl to have lunch at Yuanyan Building? I don't know if the girl appreciates her face or not. ”
If it were normal times, if the late Qing Dynasty would probably think that the person who accosted him at random must be a ruffian, and he would not bother with it at all. But before the meeting, this person's temperament and dress were extraordinary, and he was generous, so he should be a child of a rich family. So I thought about it and readily agreed.
Qilin Yi let out a disdainful sneer in his heart, he thought that he would take some time and effort, but he didn't expect that this would be so easy to take the bait in the late Qing Dynasty.
However, Qilin Yi politely made a gesture of invitation to Ruo Wanqing, and intimately asked the shopkeeper to wrap the clothes and hand them to Hongliu.
Walking out of the Silk Satin Pavilion, Ruo Wanqing noticed that the young man in front of him was actually sitting in the Cuigai Zhuying Eight Treasure Car, and he was even more surprised, and he couldn't guess what the young man in front of him was.
Qilin Yi pretended to be a gentleman, and when he saw that Ruo Wanqing was sitting in just an ordinary carriage, he let go of his carriage and walked beside the carriage.
After the two arrived at Yuanyan Building, Qilin Yi waved his hand and wrapped up the third floor, and then took Ruo Wanqing to the third floor.
If the late Qing Dynasty was not stupid, seeing this posture, he felt that the son of a courtier in front of him was at least a second-rank official or above, otherwise how could he have such a big spirit, and he was not afraid of spreading it out to attract the emperor's suspicion?
But no matter what this net worth is, he can't afford to mess with him anyway, but he doesn't look like he has malicious intentions towards himself. If you come here, you will be safe.
Qilin Yi didn't plan to hide it from Ruo Wanqing, anyway, it was just a chess piece, and only when he played well would he have an advantage in the chess game.
After the two of them sat down, Qilin Yi waved his hand to let the entourage retreat, if the late Qing saw the red willow and nodded, after a while, there would be only the two of them in the room.
"You are the daughter of the Ruo family, if you are in the late Qing Dynasty, aren't you?" Kirin Yi said casually.
If the late Qing Dynasty was a little surprised, a little-known person like himself would still be named one day?
Qilin Yi didn't wait for the late Qing Dynasty to react, and said directly: "Lone is the prince today, Qilin Yi." ”
If Wanqing was dumbfounded now, he didn't count the prince sitting in front of him!
She hurriedly stood up and was about to curtsy, but Qilin Yi was one step faster than her to support her, and said gently: "Today Lone just came out for a walk, Qing'er doesn't need to be polite." After speaking, he squeezed Ruowanqing's hand as if he were nothing.
Ruo Wanqing's face was a little red, although he chased Jun Mufeng, but because Jun Mufeng had always rejected and resisted him, he had never touched his hand from the opposite sex.
But listen to the prince...... Ruo Wanqing felt that he had hit a big luck.
"What Lone said in the Silk Satin Pavilion at the beginning was sincere, a gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse, and Lone has no lies." Qilin Yi added a sentence in a timely manner.
If Wanqing's face is even redder, who doesn't like to be praised? What's more, the person who praises himself is still the crown prince.
Qilin Yi sneered in his heart, woman, heh. When you hear a word or two of praise, you can't recognize who you are, and you don't look at how many pounds and taels you have.
"Qing'er is a little hungry?"
Ruowan Qing smiled shyly after hearing this, and then said: "Qing'er Xie His Royal Highness cares, His Royal Highness is in charge, Qing'er is fine." ”
Qilin Yi nodded and instructed his entourage to call Xiao Er downstairs to come up and order.
After a while, the shopkeeper ran up, and he was either rich or expensive for the master who had wrapped a whole floor, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
So the flattering Hou waited for Qilin Yi to speak, Qilin Yi glanced at him, and then asked, "Qing'er is there a taboo?" ”
"No, Qing'er is not a picky eater." Ruowanqing covered his mouth and laughed as he spoke.
After hearing this, Qilin Yi said to Xiao Er: "Quail crystal soup, bird's nest porridge, rock sugar lily water chestnut soup, barbecued deer breast ......" After a while, Qilin Yi said the names of more than a dozen dishes.
Xiao Er nodded while remembering, for fear that he would have some bad consequences if he remembered it. After the Qilin Yi finished reporting, Xiao Er bowed down and went out.
