Qiao Fang is quiet and polite, speaks very measuredly, and will not take the initiative to provoke others.

Chi Yan didn't look for her recently, because the young lady of the Shangguo Mansion came to Yaoshan, and he was accompanying him, Xiao Qing thought, that is Chi Yan's good match, they are the right family, made in heaven. In addition, he also has to prepare for the porcelain conference, and he has been very busy recently, so he can only put Qiao Fang aside.

She was afraid that one night he would come to Qiao Fang on a whim and cause something, and it would be too late for her to regret it.

"Qiao Fang, if the prince of the world goes to you again, you will politely agree, you must not be him, you must learn to be smart and roundabout, and keep hinting at him, you will never be possible! In addition, if he really comes to look for you, let your second brother follow you, you know? ”

Qiao Fang pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head in shame: "Mother, let you worry about my affairs everywhere......"

Xiao Qing smiled, she can't be blamed for this, the family is polite when they say so.

"It's not your fault that you don't have a burden! Mother understands. ”

Qiao Fang smiled and hummed.

Looking at Qiao Fang and Ah Chao, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that this kid was not bad, if Qiao Fang was with him, he might be able to break Chi Yan's thoughts, alas, it was better not to worry about it, let these two go with the flow.

She thought about it and looked at Qiao Erjing again: "By the way, there is still a matter of the Second Scripture and the Great Sutra, when you go back to see Brother Hong, visit your eldest brother more, send some food, clothing, and bedding into it, don't be reluctant to give them money, give more, and let them take more care of your eldest brother." ”

"Okay, mother, I'll go to the yamen to see my brother as soon as I have time!" Qiao Erjing reassured.

After thinking about it, she almost took all the money at home with her, and she didn't know how much silver she had to make when she went to Beijing, so she left a few hundred taels for the family to turn around and pay for long-term workers.

"Alright, let's eat!" Xiao Qing said with peace of mind.

The whole family smiled and nodded, picked up the chopsticks in their hands, and ate together.

No matter when they eat such a sumptuous meal, as long as the family eats together, they feel that this meal is like a fairy flavor, which is particularly delicious, and it is even better than the meals in the guest restaurant than the fans.

Their mother went to Beijing to talk about the charcoal business, because her mother had told them about it a few days ago, although it felt a little like explaining the aftermath, but none of them thought much about it.

It's just that none of them thought that Xiao Qing might be separated from them forever.

Early the next morning, Xiao Qing brought two hundred catties of dogwood noodles and put them on the carriage, leaving a few days' dosage for the guest restaurant, as well as the ten-day dosage of Chijia Restaurant, and the extra dogwood noodles.

Ah Lan changed into a chagrin and drove a carriage to the county seat.

When they arrived at the county seat, Zhou Chuan was waiting at the door of the restaurant, and after the three of them met, they rushed to Beijing.

……

Shangjing is the most prosperous place in all the states and counties of Daqing, each Dafang lives with different dignitaries, the closer to the imperial city, the higher the status, the more expensive the price of the lot.

On the streets of Shangjing, any restaurant, inn, tea shop, fruit shop, may be the nepotism of some dignitaries, or the shop of a nobleman's family, here are full of officials and dependents, everyone is powerful, just to see whose rank and status are valuable.

Therefore, the people who go to Beijing, who are proud to be a cut higher than others, have this feeling when they come from the city gate, and the city guards who inquire about it have a glimpse of disdain in their eyes, and they can only pass a carriage if they don't give one or two pennies.

The concept of hierarchy here is very deep, and the imperial power and nobles are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, so the situation of crushing people to death at the level of officials and universities often occurs.

Now the most prominent family in Beijing, is the Yu family, when the nine kings and the current prince seized the heir, the Yu family father and son have made war exploits, the Yu family is a playmate on the pilgrimage, when the nine kings assassinated the prince, the Yu family was the prince to block a sword, and later became the emperor's right-hand man, the son of the prince was promoted to the leader of the forbidden army, the same phase, is the big red man around the emperor today, his father is the military candidate, the family hereditary inheritance.

The second is the Taishi He family, although there is no title, but the elders of the two dynasties, the official residence is a product, respectable, the middle-aged He Taishi has no real power in his hands, but after all, he is the elder of the two dynasties, and the newly promoted magnates in the court have important things in the court, and it also depends on his face.

In addition, the other two of the three dukes, as well as the dukes and counts, the six books, and the cabinet ministers are all honorable.

Although the current saint is young, he has full wings, and the Yu family, the cabinet and the six ministries are all the emperor's henchmen, he cares about his siblings, and releases the nine kings, leaving no handle for the historians, saying that he is killing his siblings.

Xiao Qing and the three of them came to Shangjing for just half a day, and they were swept away by the elegance and etiquette of Shangjing, speaking here unhurriedly, seeing people smile, walking is even more beneficial, especially the official eunuchs' families, going out must be covered by a fence, even a gust of wind blows in the carriage, and you can't see the true face.

How did she remember that Daqing was not so dogmatic, the official eunuch women played polo, juju, pitching pots, six arts, everything, quite a bit of a heroine's style, the six arts of the official women were imitated by the women of neighboring countries, how did they come to Beijing and see these real people, which is different from what they imagined?

"Shopkeeper, I see that the women and women here are all wearing power fences, you are walking on the street like this, it is too attention-grabbing, and when the people on the street look at you, they are not women from Beijing, but they look like women from small counties and villages!" Ah Yan walked behind Xiao Qing and Zhou Chuan, looking at the woman who walked by.

Xiao Qing didn't look back, she didn't plan to talk to him, she was about to be angry with him along the way, find a tea shop, and embarrass the shopkeeper, what kind of six treasures of tea, she has never heard of it, saying that the tea is not washed, and it is not boiled by good water and a good pot, and it is impossible to drink the essence of the world of tea, and naturally she can't taste the unique quality of gold, wood, water, fire and earth given to tea by heaven and earth, Zhou Chuan took out his black pottery teapot and grabbed some six treasures of tea in his pocket and boiled it for him to drink again.

drove a carriage, and took turns driving the carriage with Zhou Chuan, saying that Zhou Chuan couldn't sit with her in the carriage all the time, for fear of causing gossip, so he asked him to go outside to help catch the car.

Zhou Chuan listened to it and gladly accepted it.

Xiao Qing felt that coming to Beijing was enough to trouble Zhou Chuan, and he also targeted him everywhere along the way, so she could only apologize to Zhou Chuan repeatedly in private.

Fortunately, Zhou Chuan is open-minded, broad-minded, not as knowledgeable as him, and has always been humble and polite.

"Shopkeeper, I see this is good, you see, I can also bring it, I don't have any money on me, you can pay for it!" Ah Ran shouted behind her.

"This is not bad, Shopkeeper Zhou, I will also get one for you!" Ah Chao stopped Zhou Chuan again.

Zhou Chuan was embarrassed to be called, so he could only smile and said: "Shopkeeper Xiao, Brother Xu has never seen such a prosperous place as Shangjing, and he feels strange when he sees anything, and if he wants to buy it, we will promise him, thanks to his official clothes along the way, he will take care of us in a good place to eat and live, and he is very careful." ”
