Chapter 463: Looking for Mr
Hua Qingyan and the others had breakfast, and then waited for Hua Yaozong and them to come back, but before they could say a word, the father and son went out again, it seemed that the emperor still had something urgent to discuss with them.
Hua Qingyan didn't care about the affairs of the imperial court, and after handing over the two children to the nurse to take care of, Hua Qingyan led Mu Zilan out of the door.
Mu Zilan came to Yongjing for the first time and was very curious about everything, so Hua Qingyan, the host, decided to take her to the market to have a good look and open her eyes.
Because Prince Rui's birthday is about to arrive, Yongjing City has recently poured in a lot of people who have come to congratulate Prince Rui on his birthday, large and small officials, and some officials' family members, which has added a bit of excitement to the already very prosperous Yongjing.
Yongjing City also has a very strict hierarchy, the north of the city is the imperial city and some royal residences, the east of the city is the home of the eunuchs, the market is mainly distributed in the south of the city and the west of the city, in comparison, the south of the city is more stable and prosperous than the west of the city. Most of the restaurants, silver buildings, cloth villages, and so on are in the south of the city. Of course, the west of the city is not without it, but it is relatively low-grade, because the people living there are poor and third-rate.
Because Mu Zilan came for the first time, Hua Qingyan took her for a walk in the south of the city.
There are also various stalls in front of the shops on both sides of the market, with a dazzling array of small things, Mu Zilan saw that there were people selling sugar gourds and wanted to bring them back to the two children, but they were stopped by Hua Qingyan. She can make the sugar gourd herself, and I believe that it is much better than this market in terms of cleanliness and taste. Mu Zilan also felt that what she said made sense, so she stopped thinking and only bought some things that were not palatable to give to the child.
"There are a lot of things that I haven't seen in Qingjiu County." Mu Zilan looked at the things on the stall and sighed, "At that time, I thought that Fengzhou Mansion was already very good, but after arriving in Yongjing City, I realized that I was actually a frog at the bottom of the well, which is really ashamed." ”
"What a shame this is, there are some things I haven't seen before!" Hua Qingyan smiled and picked up a black thing from the stall in front of her, "Look at this, I only know that it is a musical instrument, but I don't know what it is called." ”
The instrument in Hua Qingyan's hand is round, like a small oval vase, which can be held with one hand, the neck is very small, and there are several small round holes on the bottle.
The person who set up the stall was a scholar dressed in straight clothes, and after listening to Hua Qingyan's words, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Girl, this is Xun, which is relatively rare in Daqi, so it's normal for girls not to know it." If the girl likes it, she can buy it and study it. ”
Hua Qingyan put the Xun back in her hand and smiled slightly: "I think it's better to forget it, I don't know how to play, it's better not to spoil things." Hua Qingyan glanced at the things on the scholar's stall, picked up a bamboo flute and looked at it, "Childe, do you know all these musical instruments?" ”
The scholars sold musical instruments at the stalls, bamboo flutes, Xun and Xiao, and some Hua Qingyan couldn't recognize. The bamboo flute in Hua Qingyan's hand is verdant, and there is a slight feeling of coolness in her hand. The bamboo flute was polished very well, and these patterns were carved on it, Hua Qingyan looked at it carefully, and it was actually a picture of a lady fluttering butterflies.
The scholar shook his head: "The girl has lifted me, I don't know all of these, but the bamboo flute in the girl's hand, I know." But I made all of these instruments myself. ”
"That's amazing!" Hua Qingyan and Mu Zilan were extremely surprised, there were almost a dozen kinds of musical instruments on the stall, if these were all made by this scholar, then the scholar was really good at craftsmanship.
"I don't dare to be it, I don't dare to be, it's just for my livelihood." The scholar smiled humbly, and his already handsome face was even more outstanding.
Mu Zilan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at the scholar. Hua Qingyan's attention was on those instruments, and she didn't notice Mu Zilan's eyes at all.
Hua Qingyan noticed that behind the scholar, there was also a rectangular wooden box, which looked like a piano in terms of length and width. Hua Qingyan pointed to the wooden box and said, "Childe, is the piano in that wooden box?" ”
The scholar looked back and said with a smile: "Girl has good eyesight, the piano in that box is the only instrument I know how to use." ”
Recently, Hua Qingyan has been trying to help Xi'er cultivate some hobbies, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Because Xiao Xi'er's energy is too strong, if she doesn't find something to do for this little girl, Hua Qingyan feels that she can't look at her. Hua Qingyan saw the piano at this time, and she thought about it.
Hua Qingyan looked at the scholar carefully, this scholar looked decent and handsome, with a hint of hatred between his eyebrows, and he was quite chic between his gestures. However, the clothes on his body are not very good, although he is wearing a scholar's direct decoration, but the color has been washed white, and there are a lot of patches, and the family background is obviously not very good.
Of course, Hua Qingyan did not doubt his identity as a scholar, because he wore a student towel on his head. If it weren't for the fame, it would be impossible to bring a student towel. In this way, the character of this scholar should be quite good.
Hua Qingyan looked at Chiguoguo, although the scholar was a little uncomfortable, but he did not avoid it, and let Hua Qingyan look at himself carefully.
Hua Qingyan touched her chin and smiled slightly: "I want to talk about a business with my son, but I don't know if my son will give me this opportunity." ”
The scholar was stunned, and smiled: "It's better for the girl to talk about it first." ”
"I want to ask my son to go to the house to teach my child to play the piano." Hua Qingyan didn't hide it and said directly, "But that child is still young, and he may be a little disobedient and may be more troublesome, so I need to be more patient with my son." ”
This time, the scholar was stunned for a longer time, obviously not expecting that this girl was going to invite herself to be a gentleman.
"Why, isn't Childe willing? The monthly money must be more than the daily stall set up by the son. ”
The scholar came back to his senses and smiled helplessly: "Girl, you don't even know who I am, so rashly invite me to the house, aren't you afraid that I will do anything?" Is it harmful to the girl's house? ”
Hua Qingyan shook her head: "I believe in my eyes, and the righteousness in Gongzi's body can't deceive me." ”
The scholar was speechless, not knowing what to say.
Hua Qingyan thought for a while and said: "Childe can consider it, if you think this business is suitable, you can go to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in the north of the city to find me, and then report my Hua Qingyan's name." ”
Hua Qingyan didn't wait for the scholar's answer after speaking, and pulled Mu Zilan to continue shopping. After Hua Qingyan left, the scholar was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, Hua Qingyan and the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion are now thunderous in Yongjing City, and everyone knows about it.
The scholar looked at Hua Qingyan's back, then looked at the qin behind him that was locked in a wooden box by himself, and clenched his fists.
Perhaps, this is his chance!
"Miss wants to hire a gentleman for Miss Xi'er?" Yu Jiamin looked back at the scholar.
"yes." Hua Qing smiled, "The little girl is getting more and more noisy, worry-free is studying, everyone is very busy, so I want to find someone to accompany Xi'er, and at the same time I can teach Xi'er something, why not do it." ”
Hua Qingyan walked and turned back to ask Yu Jiamin: "Jiamin, have you ever seen that scholar, do you know what his character is?" ”
"I don't know, but I can look it up."
"That's fine." Hua Qingyan nodded and led Mu Zilan into the cloth village.
The cloth village in Yongjing City is not comparable to Chaoyang Town or Linzhou Mansion, the fabrics in it are the best from all over the country, and there are from outside the Guan, and the dazzling array is placed neatly. On the wooden walls are some beautiful ready-to-wear clothes, both men and women, large and small.
As soon as Hua Qingyan and the three of them stepped into the cloth village, a young man greeted them and greeted them very warmly: "Three girls, do you need anything?" The small shop can satisfy the three people as much as possible. ”
Hua Qingyan turned around, picked two slightly darker fabrics, and two brightly colored ones, planning to make some new clothes for her father, brother and two children. The fabrics picked by Hua Qingyan are all clear and silky, and the price is expensive, and the young man is so happy that he can't close his mouth.
Hua Qingyan turned around and saw that Mu Zilan hadn't bought anything, and couldn't help but say: "Zilan, you pick out some clothes, you still have to stay in Yongjing City for a while, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, you can't wear thick clothes, if there is any illness in the heat, it will be worth the loss." ”
Mu Zilan is not short of silver now, the treatment of Linyuan Winery is still very good, as one of the managers, Mu Zilan not only has wages but also shares.
Mu Zilan has pretended to be a man for so many years, but she still longs for these beautiful clothes in her heart. was persuaded by Hua Qingyan like this, Mu Zilan was also moved, and took advantage of the situation to pick a lot.
However, when it came time to pay the bill, Hua Qingyan took the lead in paying Mu Zilan's share. Mu Zilan failed to stop her, frowning and a little unhappy: "Qingyan, you are ...... like this"
"I'm the one who sent you!" Hua Qingyan interrupted her words and reached out to take Mu Zilan's hand, "I haven't given you anything after knowing each other for so long, besides, you have helped Linyuan Winery a lot, as a friend, I should give you something, Zilan, don't shirk it, this is my heart!" ”
Although Mu Zilan was still a little unhappy, she nodded in the end, accepted the clothes, and at the same time thought in her heart that when she found something good, she must give one to Hua Qingyan.
Hua Qingyan just stepped out of Buzhuang but was stunned, and the study house opposite had just walked into a very familiar person. Hua Qingyan frowned and was puzzled, "How could this person appear here?" ”
"Miss?" Hearing Hua Qingyan's murmur, Yu Jiamin looked over puzzled.
Hua Qingyan grabbed Yu Jiamin and pointed to the opposite side of the book and said, "Jiamin, you can help me see, is the person on the other side the person I think?" ”
As a person next to Yun Shumo, Yu Jiamin's eyesight is naturally better than Hua Qingyan. She followed Hua Qingyan's gaze, and her eyes focused on that person! Perhaps sensing an eye on someone, the man looked back. Hua Qingyan happened to see the man's face clearly!
