Purple (catch insects)(1/2)
"Sister, there are many rouge shops and jade shops on this street. Women love to come here on weekdays." Ming Cunfu lifted the curtain, allowing Jiuzhu to see the scenery on the street more clearly.
Jiuzhu leaned over and saw many young women walking together on the street. They whispered and laughed a few times from time to time, and the beads on their heads shook slightly with their movements.
The men dressed in scholars bowed to the women from afar, and their demeanor was graceful.
When the carriage and sedan passed by, the servants who were walking with their heads bowed their heads and kept quiet, and no one looked arrogant.
The clean-wearing Yacha patrolled the streets with a sword on his waist. When he met someone he knew, he joked and picked up the young child who fell to the ground. The young child who opened his mouth was about to cry, saw the knife on Yacha's waist, shrunk his mouth back, stretched out his dirty hands, and carefully touched the hilt.
The yamen pretended not to see the child's little movements, returned the child to the adults who thanked him repeatedly, and walked into the crowd.
“The Rouge Shop has arrived.”
Jiuzhu regained her senses: "Have you arrived?"
"Here." Ming Cunfu got off the carriage and reached out to Jiuzhu: "Come on, get off."
Jiuzhu bent down and walked out of the carriage door and was about to hand it over to Ming Cunfu when she heard the sound of horse hooves.
She turned her head and saw a handsome young man in purple robe riding on the horse's back. The white horse was handsome, and the purple robe was flying, just like a strange color, falling into this quiet street.
The horse's pace was very slow, and the young master in purple was lazy, as if everything in the world was not in his eyes.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Ming Cunfu looked at Jiuzhu's gaze and saw a ready-to-wear shop: "Do you like clothes?"
The young master in purple who was riding a white horse had entered the alley next to him. Jiuzhu retracted his gaze: "Brother, I'm enjoying the scenery."
scene?
Ming Cunfu was stunned at first, and then felt distressed. My cousin had been raising her in the mountains and fields for many years, and then she felt that the ordinary streets in the capital were all scenery.
Touching the purse on his body, he gritted his teeth: "Let's go, my brother will take you to pick up clothes, and buy whatever you like."
The family is strictly managed and he has never had enough money for a month. It took him a lot of effort to save this little money. There is only one sister in the family, and he, as a cousin, is more generous.
"Okay." Jiuzhu nodded and jumped out of the carriage.
Ming Cunfu looked at his empty hands, then at his cousin walking towards the rouge shop with cheerful steps, secretly looked around and sighed inwardly.
It's okay, as long as it's not seen, it's not rude.
As soon as the brother and sister walked into the Rouge Shop, someone came forward to talk to Ming Cunfu.
"Brother Ming." Zhou Shucheng saw Ming Cunfu taking the woman out alone for the first time and bowed forward: "Brother Lin is holding a banquet in the villa today, why haven't Brother Ming gone?"
"Brother Zhou." Ming Cunfu replied: "I have been busy at home recently and I have no time to take care of it. I also ask Brother Zhou to apologize to Brother Lin on my behalf."
Zhou Shucheng thought about it for a moment and understood. Ming Cunfu's father came to take the emperor's order and went to inspect the south. His family was worried that he would leave his homework, so he handed him over to Ming Jingzhou for discipline.
The incident of Ming Jingzhou's daughter getting engaged with King Chen has been rumored. No wonder Ming Cunfu has not gone out much in recent days.
"This girl..."
"This is the sister-in-law." Ming Cunfu smiled: "She has just returned to the capital. As a cousin, I, naturally, have to spend more time with her."
Zhou Shucheng smiled and expected to bend down and bowed to Ming Jiuzhu: "Hello Miss Ming."
The three brothers of the Ming family are close. When the eldest brother of the Ming family was framed by a traitor, the second brother of the Ming family would rather be implicated and imprisoned than give up the eldest brother of the Ming family.
Before life and death, you can still maintain brotherhood, which is better than many families.
It’s just that my life is not very good. I finally have a daughter in the next generation, but I want to marry King Chen.
Jiuzhu felt that the young man named Zhou looked at him with something wrong. He seemed to be watching a rabbit shot by an arrow, about to be peeled and grilled.
"The noble man walked slowly."
Hearing the movement, Jiuzhu looked up at the upstairs and looked at the woman who happened to go downstairs.
The woman was stunned at first, and saw Jiuzhu smiling at her, curling her lips slightly and smiling back.
"Brother, I've already chosen it." The woman walked to Zhou Shucheng and gave a little blessing to the Ming brothers and sisters: "Mr. Ming, Miss Ming."
Here comes, here comes, there is another look of looking at the rabbit in the barbecue rack.
When the Zhou brothers and sisters left, Jiuzhu asked Ming Cunfu in a low voice: "Brother, do you know the whole capital? I was poor before?"
Otherwise, why do you look at yourself with that look?
Ming Cunfu: "..."
No, they are just sympathizing with the abnormality of your marriage partner.
"Oh." Jiuzhu sighed. It would be great if she had met these kind-hearted people in the capital a few years ago. They would have been willing to donate incense money to the Taoist temple.
After picking a few boxes of the most popular rouge nowadays, Jiuzhu followed Ming Cunfu to buy ready-made clothes.
The capital is so prosperous, and the fabrics used for garment are also particular. When Ming Cunfu saw that there were mostly female guests in the shop, he went to the back to drink tea and asked the maid to accompany her to try on fittings.
The garment shops that high-ranking officials often go to have set up places for men to rest, which may be to make men wait patiently and let women choose clothes with peace of mind.
"The girl has a good figure and looks good in any clothes." The female waiter's tongue bloomed with lotus flowers. Every time Jiuzhu tried a piece of clothing, she could say different compliments.
"If this set of clothes is matched with the latest style of Bu Yao, the girl will be the Moon Palace Fairy, who will be fresh and come to the mortal world." The female waiter helped Jiuzhu tidy up her skirt: "There are jewelry and jade on the third floor for sale, so the girl is willing to go and have a look."
"Miss, today is the sixth young master paying, you must buy more." Spring Equinox smiled and whispered in Jiuzhu's ear: "When the third young master was in the capital, the sixth young master always asked the third young master to help pay the bill, and you have to help the third young master spend the money back."
Ming Cunfu's generation is ranked according to the order of the three families. Ming Cunfu is ranked sixth, and Jiuzhu's compatriot brother Ming Jiyuan is ranked third. Although the brother and sister have never met each other, Jiuzhu has heard a lot of things about her brother after hearing her parents talk about her.
"Would it be a bit too much?" Jiuzhu said this, her feet were already walking upstairs honestly.
If you don’t have many sisters, you will feel really guilty after spending your brother’s money.
The female waiter’s smile becomes brighter. Who would be the waiter who would dislike the customers buying too much?
What are the bracelets wrapped around branches, red hairpins, and jade beads and flowers crowns? If you don’t buy them by a dear friend, wouldn’t you be lonely?
"Why are the hairpin and ring jewelry that your family recently released is so vulgar? What are the golden branches wrapped in flowers and red beads and tortoiseshells? It's really vulgar!"
Jiuzhu looked down at the golden branch in her hand and thought it was very beautiful. She silently turned her head to look at the young man talking.
"Only this jade bracelet can barely be seen."
Jiuzhu, who didn't like jade bracelets at the beginning: "..."
"Young Master, these are all fashionable styles at the moment." The waiter smiled and explained: "If you don't like it, we will change some styles for you."
"What's the most fashionable thing? It's just that a noble man in the palace likes these things recently, so the people in the capital have started learning." The man sneered, with a little contempt in his tone, and he casually ordered a few things: "That's all, don't want anything else."
"Girl." The female waiter pretended not to hear these words and asked Jiuzhu in a low voice: "Do you want to try it?"
"Okay." Jiuzhu handed the golden branch wrapped in flower hairpin to the female waiter, held up the bronze mirror and looked at her face.
Her hair was black and dense, with golden branches wrapped in flower hairpins and half hidden hair. Not only was it not vulgar, but it seemed like a star accidentally fell on her hair.
The young man who took the jewelry box from the waiter and turned around and wanted to leave, saw Jiuzhu looking at himself in the mirror: "This is a vulgar..."
Um?!
Um……
It doesn't seem very vulgar.
"It looks good." Jiuzhu touched her hairpin, "I like it."
After saying that, he saw the young man who said the golden branch was wearing flowers and was staring at him, and Jiuzhu opened her eyes wide.
Why, I think it’s vulgar and don’t let others buy it?
"Miss has a good look. This hairpin is like a twig of osmanthus in the moon palace and a jade flower in the jade pond." The young man came to his senses, coughed dryly, and bowed slightly to Jiuzhu.
Jiuzhu: "..."
It seemed as if she hadn't heard what he said just now.
No wonder before she came to the capital, the two masters told her that some people in the capital were very thoughtful and should not talk to each other in a simple way.
"In the prince of the Hou Mansion of Xia Nai Pingyuan, I wonder which daughter is the daughter?" The young man saw that Jiuzhu did not respond and took a step forward.
Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, Zheng...
Isn’t it the family of the naughty child who said in the palace that the Imperial Concubine was a demon concubine?
Jiuzhu stood up: "I am fond of vulgarity and I have no intention of disturbing you, so I say goodbye."
People who are not well taught by children have more or less problems with their adults. She is far away from her. Who knows whether brain diseases will be transmitted to others?
Looking at the girl's back as she hurriedly left, Zheng Wangnan actually saw a little bit of escaping.
He turned his head to look at his attendant: "I'm ugly?"
"You are handsome and have a handsome face."
Zheng Wangnan turned back to the waiter: "I will buy one too if I put the hairpin worn by that girl."
"Young Master." The servant reminded in a low voice: "Don't you dislike it as a cheesy?"
"Have you heard a word?" Zheng Wangnan raised his eyebrows, his expression unfathomable.
"What?"
"Men are all fickle."
"Is that true?" A lazy voice came: "Come and show me."
