"Miss, let's go."

sent Father Lu to the office, and sent away the two little ones who went to school in the academy, and Lu Weimang was going to do his own thing.

got into the carriage prepared early in the morning by the butler Lu, and the group went out shopping.

You can't wait for anything while sitting at home, you have to go out and find the opportunity yourself.

"Steward Lu, is it necessary for us to bring so many people?"

Lu Weimang opened the curtain on the carriage and asked the housekeeper on the side.

Since she knew that her family's finances were not good, she looked at the people around her who were a little unpleasant. It's not that you want to find fault with others, but that you want to reduce your living expenses as much as possible. Yesterday's audit, Lu Weimang found that Father Lu's monthly income was only one hundred and fifty taels, but in this Nuoda General's Mansion, Weimang and his two younger brothers served each of them, as well as a number of rough maids, a number of servant women who swept the kitchen, and a grandmother who served Lu Weimang, and the little maid who went out in Chengyang Changfeng and so on. These are all counted, and there are even a number of guards, and the total number of them is more than the total number of people serving in the entire inner house.

Therefore, Lu Weimang looked at the guard general who was following him, leaned over to the housekeeper, and asked in a low voice.

Steward Lu glanced back, glanced at the leading Hu guard, and then turned his eyes away as if nothing happened. He knew what Miss meant, but no, "Miss, that is, the lord has been knighted, although the title is low, and he grabs a lot of money in the capital, but this guard is really the privilege of the knight, ordinary people, if they want to raise it, they can't overdo it." Therefore, you should give up, even if you quit all the servants in the house, these people will not be able to move. People like us, if we don't have an escort to follow us when we go out, won't it make others laugh off their big teeth? ”

Lu Weimang sighed, "So, it's still a burden that can't be shaken off?" ”

Steward Lu hurriedly shook his head, "Miss, this is not a burden. You've just arrived in Kyoto and don't know the atmosphere. There are a lot of nobles in Beijing, and it is inevitable that when there is a fight between teeth and tongues, as long as they are not guilty of murder and arson, the yamen has no way to deal with these people. You said, if we don't bring guards, but in case there is a conflict with us that is not long-sighted, there are many people in the family, not to mention that it is too much, and beating us is also for nothing, we have suffered in vain, and they don't care about the yamen who beat people, and the sensible people, the parents beat a few boards, and the ignorant ones will say a word, and if they beat you, they will beat you, and if you have the ability, you will fight back. You say, can you suffer this immediate loss at night? Therefore, this guard is indispensable to us, but you can rest assured, our family is a soldier recruited by the master, don't talk about it sincerely, the key is to have real kung fu in hand, and other idlers don't have to be afraid of them. ”

"Oh~"

Lu Weimang nodded, it seems that this guard is really not an ornament.

"Our guards are so powerful, can't we be a little arrogant in Kyoto?"

Anyway, as a noble family, he is not responsible for beating people, Lu Weimang seems to experience the feeling of walking sideways on the street, and see who is not pleasing to the eye, "Go, hit him." Who dares to say, "Beat him!" ”

Lu Weimang imagined the happy life of the bully in the TV series, and felt that he was a little impatient, and it was better to act than to move, so he would give it a try today, anyway, with his own vision, he is still quite accurate in looking at people, and the person who is singled out will not be wronged by beating him, and it can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven.

"I'm afraid not."

Steward Lu's words interrupted Lu Weimang's conjecture, "Why not, didn't you say that the yamen doesn't care, just fight?" ”

The housekeeper looked at the young lady who was staring wide-eyed as if she had been robbed of money, and whispered, "The key is to beat it, miss." ”

"What you said, our nursing home is a good hand under Daddy, or is it a little capable, are you deceiving people?"

Steward Lu hurriedly waved his hand, "Miss, the old slave didn't deceive people, our family is indeed a good hand." But the family is not bad. Especially the guards in General Wu's mansion, which were carefully selected from the whole army, and our family can't compare. ”

Lu Weimang nodded, "That's really incomparable." ”

"There are also the guards of the Marquis of Qin's family, the Marquis of Qin has been following the left and right since the beginning of the Holy Army, and he is the first-class nobleman in Kyoto, and their family's guards are one hundred, which is not worse than the royal Yulin Guard."

"Yes, the royal relatives and noble relatives have a noble status, which is not comparable to us low-ranking lords."

Lu Weimang laughed dryly and said.

"And General Huo's Black Armor Army, haven't you seen it? That is also a division of tigers and wolves on the battlefield, and ordinary guards are glared at by them, and their hands and feet are weak..."

"Anything else?"

Lu Weimang said coldly.

"And... Hmm..."

Steward Lu finally found his young lady's dejected appearance, and swallowed the words that were gushing in his mouth.

"Miss, don't be discouraged, except for these top high-level doors, they belong to our family."

"yes, I see. Oh yes, be careful when you drive and avoid other people's luxury carriages. ”

Lu Weimang's heart that was about to move just now suddenly became honest. Sure enough, it is a feudal society, who is high and powerful, who has a hard fist, who is reasonable, and this low-level lord of his own family should be low-key. Sure enough, it is still not as good as equality of classes, although you can't beat anyone who doesn't like your eyes, but you won't be beaten by others.

…

"Miss, here we are, this is the busiest street in Kyoto. Antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, specialty pastries, and the largest restaurant in Kyoto are all here. ”

Lu Weimang opened the curtain and saw that there was a tall archway at the entrance of the street, with three big characters of "Tax Street" written on it.

"Well, yes, it seems that we are in a good situation."

This is what Steward Lu said by chance, saying that the country has been established for three years, and now the internal stability is gradually stable, and the border has also stopped a lot, so that Father Lu can run errands in the Yamen with peace of mind, raise his children, and don't always mention it to the battlefield with the general.

Usually, Daddy Lu talks to the housekeeper more casually, as if he regards him as family. It seems that this is the case.

After getting out of the carriage, Lu Weimang walked in front, followed the housekeeper on one side to guide and explain, and the six people behind him followed Lu Weimang, Lu Weimang felt a little awkward at first, but the other people shopping next to him turned a blind eye. It seems that this kind of pomp and circumstance in this era is an ordinary thing, and Lu Weimang relaxed at this time.

It is a woman's nature to like shopping, and Lu Weimang is no exception.

From the street snack bars, to clothes and jewelry, and the four treasures of the study, Lu Weimang was full of interest.

"Butler, you see, this ink still has a fragrance, it smells so good, and this sprinkling of gold carvings, this process, only 30 Wen, and medicinal ink, should I buy a piece for my father to strengthen his body?"

Steward Lu thought about his master's three bowls of rice, and every morning exercise, he could lift the hundred-pound stone lock with one hand, and shook his head decisively, "Miss, you don't need to buy it for the master." ”

Lu Weimang put back the medicinal ink in front of him in disappointment.

Buying something is to spend money for the pleasure of this moment, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the thing you buy is practical or not.

"And these papers, it's nice to look at. Housekeeper, this rice paper for the two young masters to take a knife, and this sprinkled gold paper, with color, with fragrance, all of them come with a knife, remember to take all the colors and fragrances, oops, there are some inkstones, how are they so good-looking, housekeeper, look at this shape, this pattern, it seems that this inkstone also has to buy a few, so that Chengyang and Changfeng can be used instead. ”

Lu Weimang doesn't like that her living environment has too many things and is too messy, so she buys things for others. Not only satisfies your own shopping desire, but also does not occupy your own place, you can also give things to others, so that others can use the novelties they buy to show themselves.

"Miss, come and see this brush, it is also complete in size, different materials, and has its own merits. You take a look at this pen holder, it is made of rare purple bamboo, the whole body is round, without any carving, just appreciate this material is enough, and this wolf pen ,..."

Lu Weimang's behavior of stuffing things into the butler's arms with a large bag had already made the shopkeeper look sideways, so he threw away the other customers, walked directly to Lu Weimang's side, and gave her a detailed introduction, after all, looking at this young lady like this, I can't wait to buy all the varieties in the store, a proper big customer.

With the introduction of the shopkeeper on the side, Steward Lu, who was following his own lady, complained in his heart, the space in the store was not large, the guards were waiting outside the door, and he couldn't take it alone.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly called the guy who was greeting other customers on the side, "The old man can't hold it, why don't you have eyesight?" Hurry up and help the old man get some together. ”

So, there was a rare scene in the store, a half-person tall little girl, wearing a fine gauze pink skirt, a meniscus bun on her head, a simple pink bead gold hairpin, pink beads and flowers, round buns with clear eyebrows on her face, looking at Yuxue cute, fairy fluttering, "pointing the country" in the store, almost wanting to empty all the goods in the store.

Behind her, the smiling shopkeeper nodded her head, and while introducing the young lady in front of her, she handed the things that the young lady said she wanted to buy to the guy behind her.

I saw that the guy's arms were full, followed by two men who also served, and everyone could no longer hold anything in their arms.

The housekeeper at the back was dumbfounded, although he knew that his young lady made money, he never knew that she was also extraordinary in spending money.

The butler bent down and looked in all directions, apologizing, while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"This realm that is full of ink fragrance on weekdays is full of copper smell today. Lead red, go and bring the smoker in our carriage, Miss, I suddenly feel a little nauseous. ”

A yin and yang strange voice came, Lu Weimang was unconscious, and the face of the shopkeeper behind her changed a little.

After all, he is a businessman, and it is his duty to take care of the feelings of customers.

"Miss, are you feeling unwell? It was fine just now. ”

The maid also echoed her own lady and said loudly.

"It's okay, maybe it's a little unaccustomed to being in the same room with people who don't smell the same."

The young lady said with a pretentious gesture.

"Really, how can a lady of gold and dignity stay in a shop with a hillbilly? This Danqingfang is also one of the best on the street this day, why is everyone put in? ”

…

The master and servant sang and harmonized, the shopkeeper's face was stiff, and Steward Lu's face was ugly, but Lu Weimang's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard it.

"Shopkeeper, come, settle accounts. You're talking about that kind of hard note, you'll have to let me know when it's in stock next time. ”

Almost bought the four treasures of the study that he had never seen before, and Lu Weimang stopped unfinished and let the shopkeeper settle the account for himself.
