Chapter 129
Outside the city of Jiyang, chiwu drove his carriage over and said, "young master, the best carriage you can buy in this neighborhood is this one."
The carriage looks very gorgeous. It is wrapped in peacock green fine silk. The white yarn inside is slightly brushed. Even if you sit in it, it is very spacious and comfortable. He Yan felt tired after riding for many days. Now he is satisfied with his comfort. However, Lin Shuanghe is still picky, "is that it? I can't even take a look at it in shuojing. This wood is too inferior. Didn't I say pick the most expensive one? "
Chiwu: This is the most expensive
He Yan looked at Lin Shuanghe and sighed in his heart. For so many years, the young master's hedonistic style of conduct has not changed at all. She didn't know why Xiao Jue went to Jiyang to do business. Why did she take Lin Shuanghe? Isn't that a drag on yourself?
He Yan is not the only one who can't understand, but Lin Shuanghe himself is also puzzled. Before leaving, he makes every effort to confirm: "are you sure you're not wrong. Do you want to take me to Jiyang?"
Xiao Jue: "sure."
"Why?"
"Because they need a housekeeper."
"Manager, housekeeper?" Lin Shuanghe was angry, "have you ever seen a housekeeper like me?"
Xiao Jue looked him up. "I've seen him now."
Having said that, Lin Shuanghe also wants to see the world with Xiao Jue. He had never been to Jiyang. He heard that all the girls in Jiyang were beautiful. It would be a pity if he didn't see them once in his life?
Therefore, he also complained a few words, and readily agreed to the same trade.
In the past, I didn't care about anything else. But now when I get to Jiyang City, I have to dress up. After all, they are no longer Xiao Huaijin and Heyan, but Qiao Huanqing, the rich merchant's son of Huzhou, and Wen Yuyan, his newly married wife, as well as their bodyguard chiwufeinu and their housekeeper Lin Shuanghe.
Fei Nu took out the letter order, looked at the gate of Jiyang in the distance and said, "young master, we have to buy two servant girls when we enter the city and find an inn to settle down."
You can't go out with a rich young master and a young grandmother. You don't even take a servant girl with you. You have to do your own living. Don't talk about Cui Yuezhi. I don't believe it.
"Buy a maid?" Lin Shuanghe said, "I'll go too. I'll pick girls."
Xiao Jue was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he only told the flying slave to say, "look for the younger ones and let them go home when Jiyang is finished."
Feinu should go down.
Chiwu and feinu drove out. The carriage slowed down and slowly swayed to the gate of Jiyang. Feinu gave the pass order to the guard of the city gate. The guard carefully looked at the black words on the order, and his attitude was suddenly respectful: "it was Cui Zhongqi's family. Please come in."
"Does Cui Yuezhi have a high status in Jiyang?" asked Lin Shuanghe
"I heard that she grew up with Meng Ji's daughter. She was loyal and powerful, and she was trusted by her." He Yan replied.
How do you know
He Yan also: "listen to what people say."
Xiao Jue glanced at her and did not speak.
He Yan has never been to Jiyang, but he has heard about people and things in Jiyang. Only because her master Liu buforget came from outside the city of Jiyang. She had talked to her about many anecdotes about Jiyang. After listening to her more, she also yearned for Jiyang.
It's just that the vassal vassal's territory is in trouble. I didn't expect to be able to take advantage of Xiao Jue's wind and take a look at the water city in Liu Buzhang's mouth. It's really fresh.
Jiyang City Chongli, thousands of households connected, prosperous business. Outside the city, there are canals and merchant ships. The silk and tea rich in Jiyang go directly to Yangzhou along the Yuyang river. There are rivers of all sizes in the city. Boats can be seen everywhere under the bridge. The bow of the boat is full of fruits and fruits. This is the water market of Jiyang.
People from the Central Plains have never seen such a sight. Heyan lies on the carriage and looks out. He is surprised.
Lin Shuanghe sighed: "Jiyang fruit is as true as the tourists say. It's really a fairyland. No wonder it's easy to get out and hard to enter. If I come here, I won't go. Take a look at the girl here. She has a lot of water, which is different from that in shuojing. "
He Yan said: She said in her heart, you didn't say so when you were in shuojing.
She turned her head to see Xiao Jue, who was sitting in the carriage. He did not seem to have much interest in the prosperity outside the carriage. He sat lazily with flat eyes and no surprise.
"Governor, shall we go to the inn first?" She asked.
"What Dudu," Lin Shuanghe said immediately, "are all in Jiyang, you can't call Dudu, or you will be exposed."
He Yan: what's my name
"Husband, of course."
As soon as the word "husband" came out, he Yan and Xiao Jue were shocked. The expression on Xiao Jue's face was even more difficult to describe, which was very wonderful. After a long time of forbearance, he brushed his sleeve and said, "don't cry now."It's uncomfortable to call later, OK? He Yan was in great pain. He did not expect that the task was so difficult that he even had to give up his sense of shame. No wonder the exchange was to enter the Nanfu army.
Xiao Jue way: "find inn to settle down first."
Jiyang is rich in materials and prosperous, so you don't have to choose more to find an inn. It's good to see. Chiwu chose a place closest to the center of the city to get familiar with the city.
Several people put down the heavier things on the carriage first. "Young master, my subordinates have just inquired that there is a restaurant near here. The owner's wife of the restaurant will help to buy and sell servant girls for big families. If you live here today, you can go to see the owner's wife now."
Xiao Jue nodded.
He Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "I won't go."
Several people act a meal, Lin Shuanghe asked: "he What can I do for you, young lady
In fact, he Yan didn't have anything else to do, but he couldn't see other people selling their sons and daughters. Even if he knew that some children had entered the rich families to be servant girls, they might not have had a good life, but they were not very comfortable in the end. When they were with the army, in the war-torn areas harassed by the Qiang people, the common people sold their children and women. If the son is better, he can sell it to others for long-term work, and more for his daughter. He Yan has seen that a girl of 13-4 years old can be sold to an old man of 60 years old as a concubine, and only needs a piece of baked cake.
Human life is so humble.
She really didn't like to see people being chosen as goods.
"I Am I not a woman now She casually made up a reason, "you can't run around in this dress. It doesn't look like Wen Yuyan. I thought, what kind of clothing store is around here? I'll go and buy two women's clothes. If you have jewelry, you can also buy some. When we meet Cui Yuezhi, we won't show up. "
In order to facilitate her journey, she still borrowed Cheng Lishu's clothes. Now to Jiyang, and then do men's dress up is not appropriate.
Hearing this, Lin Shuanghe felt that what she had said was quite reasonable, so he said, "that's OK."
"Chiu, follow her." Xiao Jue said: "something to signal."
Chiwu should go down.
Xiao Jue looked at Heyan again: "you are nearby. Don't go far. Jiyang is not better than Liangzhou. Be careful."
He Yan nodded: "OK."
"Let's split up," Lin Shuanghe shook his fan. "Young lady, remember to buy more beautiful clothes so that they can see how beautiful the girls in the central plains are."
Xiao Jue: "shut up."
The three of them went down the building of the Inn and left, leaving Heyan and chiwu.
In chiwu's mind, Lin Shuanghe's not right. Heyan is not a woman. No matter how she dresses up, she can't be beautiful. What's the point?
As soon as he thought of this, he saw he Yan in the mirror and pulled out his hairpin. In a flash, a green silk fell on his shoulder.
"You..."
He Yan turned his head: "as a man, I went to the clothing store to buy Women's clothes, which attracted people's attention. Why don't you let it go first, "she asked Chiu." how do I look now? "
Chiwu: "well Still, not bad. " He murmured to himself that he Yan was a boy and a girl. He thought he would be hard to look at him as a woman. Now this guy has his hair loose It's like a woman.
No wonder the young master will choose him.
"Let's go." Chiwu said: "while it's still light, go around first."
They went out together.
Jiyang city is more southward than Liangzhou, the weather is much warmer, now it is spring, the sun is slightly out of the head, the sun is warm all over the body, willow trees appear fuzzy blue, spring is boundless.
There are hawkers everywhere. Jiyang people used to make a living by fishing. The people are warm and open, and everyone is hospitable. When passing by the melon and fruit vendor, he saw that he Yan looked a little more, so he went to Heyan's arms and said, "girl, take it, don't pay. I'll give you a taste."
Chiwu:
Was she called a girl? This camouflage is too good!
He Yan smile Ying Ying Ying next, pass to red Wu a few, way: "Jiyang city is really good."
No wonder Liu did not forget to mention Jiyang in those years, and his tone was reminiscent of him. Thinking of Liu buforget, Heyan has some worries in her heart. Now that she is staying with Xiao Jue, how can she find a suitable reason to go outside the city to find Liu Buzhang? What's more, Liu Bujie was vague at that time. Now it seems that Jiyang city is so big that it's really hard to find people.
Just thinking about it, chiwu has asked a clay figurine vendor nearby: "brother, would you please ask if there is a clothing shop near here?"
On hearing the speech, the stall owner said with a smile: "listen to your brother's accent, aren't you from Jiyang? You're right to ask, "he pointed to a direction:" xiuluofang in Jiyang, the largest clothing store, has the best and most clothes in it. If you want to buy clothes, you must go inside! "
Chiwu thanks the stall owner and walks with Heyan in the direction the stall owner points to.
He Yan is a little nervous.Chiwu asked, "what's the matter with you?"
"It's just clothes for women." He Yan Dao.
Red Wu nods: "it is quite uncomfortable."
He Yan spent more time as a man than as a woman. But even if she is a woman, she doesn't care much about dressing up. You can wear whatever you want to prepare. You can't pick it out. Don't make a joke in your heart. You should choose what is not suitable for you.
However, no matter how afraid, we have to go through this experience. Xiuluofang is not far away from here. We will arrive soon.
The clay figurine stall owner is right. Xiuluofang looks very big, with five floors in total. It looks like a pavilion. The two men in green standing at the door saw them coming, and they came to greet the guests with a smile. One of them said, "my guest, is it the first time to come to xiuluofang?"
He Yan nodded: "yes, we want to buy some clothes."
"Are you or the young master going to choose clothes?" The clerk pointed to the upstairs: "we embroider Luofang, the first floor is men's clothes, the second layer is children's clothes, the remaining three layers are women's clothes." After a pause, he said, "the more you go up, the more expensive your clothes will be." He rubbed his hands with a smile
"Let's go to the third floor." He Yan made a quick decision.
"OK!" The man replied with a smile, "two, please follow me."
It's really big. Each floor is covered with fine carpets. The renovations are very beautiful. Different from the elegant style of shuojing, Jiyang's layout is more colorful and warm, just like their people. Murals are painted on the wall, which seems to be a pleasure for all. It is a long roll, and the water square is very lively and full of people. It is very interesting.
Seeing Heyan staring at the mural without blinking, the waiter said with a smile: "this is our water god festival in Jiyang. We eat by water in Jiyang, and we have to sacrifice water god every March. The two of you are not local people. If you stay long enough, you can come and see the water god Festival. It's very exciting
"March?" He Yan asked.
"Yes, just this month, the water god Festival is fun! Girl, if you go, you'll be safe! "
He Yan didn't say anything, but he was curious about the water god festival in his mouth.
When he got to the third floor, he stopped and said, "here you are, girl. Look first."
Heyan nodded, and chiwu was a little uneasy. This floor was full of women's clothes. As a man, he left here, which was not very decent. He said to Heyan, "I'll wait for you downstairs. If you pick it up, you can tell me."
He Yan said, "OK."
When chiwu left, the man continued to lead Heyan to look at it and explained to him: "this cherry red ancient fragrance Satin Yuehua skirt was the best one sold a few days ago. When it comes to spring, everyone likes to wear red. When it comes to the green, it looks most conspicuous. If you want to attract your lover's attention, this is the best
"This lotus root color carved peony jade skirt is also good. With a round fan, it looks like a fairy in the painting. Elegant and elegant, elegant and elegant, wonderful
"Take a look at this. There are a hundred butterflies on this colorful embroidered butterfly skirt. All of them are sewn up by our embroiderers. Think about it. Wearing such a skirt in the flowers, you will surely attract many butterflies. The true and false butterflies will surround you. How attractive it is
He Yan said:
He Yan was very eloquent. He felt that every garment on the wall was unique and exquisite. Even though she was an ordinary woman, she could be bright and moving. She's the only one on this floor right now. If more people come here to see the clothes, will this guy be busy?
Fortunately, she is also a little discernible, but not all believe that, just read all the third floor, it is hard to avoid feeling dizzy. There are so many that I don't know which one to choose.
He Yan thought about it and looked at the man: "little brother, I seldom pick my own clothes, so for a while, I don't know which one to choose. Do you want to find out for me the kind of clothes that don't make mistakes, don't pick people, and don't get rude at dinner? "
The fellow was also a smart man. Hearing what he Yan said, he knew that he could not choose clothes, so he said with a smile: "good to say. Girl, I see that your skin is white, and different from our women in Jiyang. If you only choose clothes that do not make mistakes, it would be a pity to bury your beauty? Or... " He went to a dress in front of him and picked up a corner of it to show him: "do you have a look at this one?"
"This tianxiangjuan jade dress is very light and delicate to touch. The color is aqua blue, which is very suitable for your skin color. The style is simple and generous, but if you wear it to dinner, you are determined not to be rude. There is only one skirt left. If you like it, you'd better choose this one? "
Heyan came to this skirt. Compared with those just now, it looks much simpler and less fancy. It is also comfortable to touch. He Yan then laughed and said, "that's it..."
"I'll take this dress." A hand was stretched out from the oblique thorn, and he Yan's skirt was snatched away.He Yan looked back and saw a young woman with a yellow skirt standing in front of her. Her face was apricot and her face was like lotus. But the skin color is a little bit dark, but the body is excellent, and he is also very tall. A pair of eyes do not look at Heyan, as if he is not in front of him.
After her, there were two servant girls in green. One said, "Why are you still in a daze? Why don't you greet our young lady?"
The man was stunned and bent down to salute: "Miss Yan."
The woman who called Miss Yan snorted as a response.
The man turned his head again, wiped his sweat, and said to Heyan, "girl, how about Would you like another one? "
Even a fool should understand what happened. No matter where and when, there is no need for this kind of fearless people who rely on their family background. He Yan didn't want to embarrass him. What's more, he said with a smile: "nothing, I'll choose another one."
"Sorry," the man turned his back and whispered, "Miss Yan doesn't come to our clothing store on weekdays. Even if she does, she won't go to the third floor. I don't know what's going on today..."
"Nothing." He Yan gave him a reassuring look in his eyes, "no need to explain, I understand."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
The man went to miss Yan and said with a smile, "Miss Yan, do you need a small one to choose clothes for you?"
"What are you, and choose for me?" Miss Yan disdains to say: "you go to others to choose, I do not need you to point out."
The fellow slowly retreated to one side and went back to Heyan. Compared with serving the sour and mean lady Yan, this one was obviously more gentle and easy to talk about, so he said with a smile, "girl, have a look at this? This Suzhou embroidered Pipa skirt is pinched at the waist, and the sleeves are very wide. It looks like walking in the clouds, which is also very beautiful. The color is also pear white, the girl wears, must be ice flesh and jade bone, charming charm
Heyan laughs when he hears it. This guy sells clothes. How can he boast about others? He will come. I'm sorry to hear that. He Yan looked at the dress and thought it was not bad, so he said, "that's it."
As soon as the words fell, the servant girl beside Yan Yan stretched out her hand and pulled the dress he Yan pointed to and said, "we'll take this one as well."
Again?
He Yan slightly frowns, once if it is a coincidence, twice on purpose. But she has never seen this woman. Why is she aiming at her frequently?
She turned around, facing each other, politely asked: "excuse me, this young lady, do I have a place to offend you?"
"No Miss Yan looked at her, raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm just choosing a dress. How can I offend you?"
"One or two of them are nothing," He Yan smiles. "But you can choose what I choose next?"
Miss Yan sipped her lips and said haughtily, "it seems that you are not stupid either."
"I don't understand, girl. Why is that so?"
"It's good to ask why in everything, but I'm not your husband. Why should I help you. I am here today. Even if I buy all the clothes on the third floor, that is my skill. If you are not convinced, just buy it. I don't want one of these clothes. But... " She looked up and down at Heyan, and her tone was not without disdain. "Look at you, it's not like you can afford how much."
The material of Cheng Lishu's clothes that he Yan wears is not bad, but she has been travelling for many days. She has come from an inn and has no time to change her clothes. In the eyes of others, she is naturally disheartened and poor.
What kind of fortune did she have? Even when she came out to buy a dress to wear, she could meet such a conceited lady. He Yan and men deal with, from the simple rough, even if not convinced, at most a fight is. But women are different. She can't beat a girl in the street.
"Xiuluofang is not opened by the girl," Heyan said patiently, "I just want to buy a dress. Please don't make trouble."
It's good not to say that. Once she said this, the woman was like a cat stepping on her tail. Her hair was all blown up. Her eyes were beautiful and her voice was as sharp as before. She said, "do you want to make trouble? You said I was making trouble? Where are you from? I just don't know me. I'm full of filth! Want to buy clothes? Can you afford it if you look so shabby
He Yan: "I..."
"Little lady!" A voice came in.
He Yan looks back. At some time, Xiao Jue and Lin Shuanghe have found their way here. Chiwu and feinu are in the back, and two little girls in pink with double bun are standing on one side timidly.
Xiao Jue came forward. Jiyang women were gorgeous and fierce, and men were masculine and powerful. It was rare for him to be such a beautiful, elegant and heroic youth.
Miss Yan's eyes are straight.
Xiao Jue stares at her for a while, and suddenly hooks her lips and approaches Heyan's ear. The voice is very low, but it can be heard by all around.
"What's the matter, ma'am?"
