Chapter 286
Shuhua smiled and said, "It's really nothing to be fun to play. It's just a variety of shops. However, the houses here are different from those in Beijing. Most of the houses in Beijing are built wide and grand. The houses here are very low and narrow. Even the shops are deep and deep. The windows are wood and rarely use glass windows. If you don't light the lights in this sky, it will be dark."
Xiao Nanzhu also agreed and said, "Yes, the house is really narrow and small. I heard that the first floor of the house they live in is not occupied. I don't know if the place we live in the future will be like this?"
Speaking of which, Mu Yun had really thought about the issue of housing, she comforted her: "We will live in an official office at that time, so it will not be too bad, don't worry." Then she asked with a smile: "Since you said there is nothing fun, why have you been there for so long?"
Upon hearing this, Shuhua smiled and said, "Aunt, although most shops at the wharf don't have much to go shopping, we went to see a Western goods shop and a north-south shop. The two shops have large shops, and the doors and windows are also built with large pieces of glass, which looks grand and elegant from the outside. The things inside are also complete, and everything is all about food and play. We just took a quick look, and we came back when it was getting late, and we didn't even finish half of them." Mu Yun heard Shuhua's tone and felt a little unsatisfied.
After saying that, she took a beautifully packaged brocade box from the maid behind her. After opening it, she found a gorgeous and colorful emerald necklace with diamonds inlaid with designs with a bit modern feel.
Shuhua smiled and handed it to Mu Yun: "Those Western things are fresh. When you look closely, the workmanship is not very fine. You just inlaid gems with ordinary inlays. I thought it would be difficult to choose a decent gift for my aunt and mother. This thing is quite pleasant to see, so I bought two of them."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Pumpkin also took out a box and opened it, and smiled and said, "I bought this pair of cloisonné enamel jewelry boxes, looking pretty exquisite. They were my daughter's filial piety to you, and of course there are also cousin Lan."
Mu Yun sighed, his daughter is still sensible and considerate, and saw that the two brats next to him had never seen her buy a gift for her.
Since this was the children's wish, Mu Yun accepted it with a smile. After taking a closer look, he turned around and handed it to Yin Liu: "Get away very much."
Then Mu Yun smiled and said what he was thinking: "Look, it's true that girls are still caring. It's really a pleasure to think about bringing me gifts when going out to play. Looking at them, they didn't even think of this at all."
Shuhua quickly argued with her younger brothers: "Auntie, don't blame them, my younger brothers are still young."
Mu Yun chuckled, and she shook her head and said, "You are only half a year older than the little monkey. I'm too lazy to talk about these two brats?"
The little monkey understood and hurriedly pulled Mu Yun's sleeve and shouted: "Mom is bad~ I know how to arrange my brother and I."
While laughing, Yin Xin brought a little maid to bring a beam pot and some bowls.
Seeing this, You Muyun smiled and instructed: "Although it's not heavy, you've got some moisture when you go out like this. Come on, everyone drinks a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea to drive away the cold."
Mu Yun’s three children, like her, didn’t like to eat ginger. Hearing this, the three young men pouted their mouths. After the maid brought the bowl to her mouth, they all turned their heads aside.
The wet nurses were servants and dared not persuade them deeply. Mu Yun immediately turned his face and said, "As you boys are all real men. Set an example for your sister. Drink sugar water quickly to avoid catching a cold." When Mu Yun spoke, Shuhua had already drunk her bowl of brown sugar ginger tea.
Mu Yun exclaimed the two of them and said, "Look at Sister Shuhua, are you two boys not as good as girls?"
Little pumpkin is quite well-behaved. Although she doesn't like to eat ginger, she saw her mother's face, so she picked up her brown sugar ginger tea and started drinking it. She was eating oranges and smelling it.
Seeing that Shuhua's sister and sister had both drunk, the little monkey stuck out his tongue and said with a bitter face: "But the smell of ginger is so weird, I don't like it if I smell it."
Mu Yun sighed and said helplessly: "There are many people and things in this world that you don't like. Now you can't even drink a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea, let alone the future?"
Then, she saw her two sons' big eyes almost the same as their father, and sighed in her heart. She said in a slow tone: "The bitter medicine is good for diseases, not to mention that this is not medicine, it is sugar water, and it is sweet. Drink this soon, so you can save yourself from getting cold and you have to drink bitter soup. Come, my mother will drink it with you." After that, Mu Yun picked up a bowl of "Gudong Gudong" from the table and drank it all.
Mu Yun herself actually didn't like the smell of ginger. After drinking this bowl of brown sugar ginger tea, she felt a straight spicy smell from her mouth to her stomach. But in front of the two children, she didn't show any strange color. She smiled faintly and pointed the empty bowl at the two brothers: "Look, mom, you sister Shuhua and sisters, and a few weak women, but you all finished drinking it, it depends on you two little men."
Perhaps the two brothers were stimulated by Mu Yun's "manly" words. The little monkey bulged his mouth and took the porcelain bowl from the wet nurse and finished drinking it. Seeing that her mother and sister and brothers had all drunk, Xiao Donggua knew that she could not escape, so she obediently picked up the bowl and finished the ginger soup.
In the next two days, it was indeed rainy and rainy. Especially when they were on the beach, there were strong winds and waves from time to time, so naturally they didn’t dare to move forward in such weather, so the official boat had to stay in Haining Harbor for a while.
Although Wen Tingzhou only made a short stay that day, he still relieved Mu Yun's longing and worries a little. Therefore, this time there was a gap, and the days were almost over, she was also very interested in going to the shore pier. This time, it was a whole family mobilization. Although the children had already visited once that day, they were still very excited this time. In addition to Malan and Feng, there were many female relatives.
This time I had plenty of time, and Yunfan was already familiar with the surrounding environment. I knew that there were many car sedans that were specially rented out near the dock, Yunfan took his servants to rent a lot of soft sedans back.
In fact, there is nothing fun on the dock. This is Mu Yun’s first feeling when he arrived on the shore. Some things may seem strange in the eyes of others, but they seem average in her eyes. After staying on the boat for a long time, Mu Yun felt that even walking on the land was like floating. But it was better than being stuck on the boat.
Just like what Shuhua and Xiao Nanpump said, there is really nothing to visit near the pier. Most of the storefronts were low and dull, and Mu Yun didn't even have the desire to go in and take a look. However, she looked really good at the two shops that the two of them were shopping in that time, and Mu Yun wanted to go and go for a walk.
The two shops are opposite the door, with the north and south shops on the south and the north shops on the north. Mu Yun took a look and asked the sedan chairman to stop at the door of the foreign shops. The owner of the shop was obviously a thoughtful person, and the servants in the shop were well trained. As soon as the sedan chair fell, Mu Yun came out with Yinxin's hand, a gentle young woman came up: "I'll pay my respects to my wife. I'm the servant Fang Qian, the manager here. Please just give me any requests from the wife."
Mu Yun smiled politely: "Then I'll have money." Unexpectedly, this ancient shop also had such considerate service. Not only were there people greeted me, but even the clean carpet was carefully laid on the ground. Mu Yun didn't have to worry about being dirty by the mud on the ground when he got off the sedan chair.
Everyone got out of the sedan chair and walked in. Little Pumpkin whispered to Shuhua: "Sister, when we came that day, no one came to meet us. After all, my mother looked so grand."
Shuhua replied, "That's right? We didn't even have a sedan chair that day. We walked all the way, with many mud ideas splashed on our clothes, which was a bit embarrassing. How could my aunt be so majestic now? I must follow her when she goes out in the future. How pompous is there?!"
Yulan listened to the two of them, smiled and sneered: "Okay, don't whisper around. Don't just talk. This shop is full of people. Be careful not to mess with others."
The voices of the few people were not very small, and Mu Yun also heard it in front of her, and she was also amused and laughed: How could she be so arrogant? It must be the waiter who found a manager after seeing that he had too many people. After all, they were shopping in groups, so they naturally had to treat them differently from individual customers, right?
The facts were similar to what she thought. The group sat in a 20-year-old sedan chair. In addition to Mu Yun, even a maid like Yin Liu and a few nanny could do sedan chairs. In addition, some little maids and sluts followed the sedan chairs. Such a situation is not small, especially Mu Yun's family is dressed well. The shopkeeper, who was in charge of welcoming guests, saw the group from afar and told the shopkeeper. After hearing the shopkeeper's report, the shopkeeper thought that there were only two big shops on this street, and they were all the same owners. It was probably a big business to come to the door. Needless to say, it was a female family traveling, so the shopkeeper sent a female manager to meet him.
Qian is naturally capable of taking charge of a woman. She has been in the shop for so many years and has seen countless guests, but she still has a good vision.
She saw that although Mu Yun was dressed in a low-key manner, she did not have the jade-like jade-like appearance of a nouveau riche. Although she was dressed in a simple and low-key manner, Qian Madam could see at a glance that the white jade carved bamboo hairpin on her head was shiny and exquisitely crafted. At first glance, she knew that it was not an ordinary product, and the clothes and fabrics were all of the best silks and the embroidery was very exquisite. Although Mu Yun didn't think she had any special demeanor, she had been a second-rank madam who had been a second-rank imperial decree for several years, and she was somewhat majestic.
Therefore, Mrs. Qian easily felt an extraordinary aura on her, and then she thought of the servants and maids who were waiting outside the shop properly, so she became more respectful.
Mu Yun casually turned around the first floor. Although there were many kinds of things in the shop, it was not what she wanted. She looked at it for a moment and lowered her eyes. Even the various jewels and jewelry placed in the glass counter at the innermost part of the shop only made her take a look. Seeing this, Yin Liu smiled and asked Qian Niangzi: "Do you only have these goods in your shop? Are there any better things?"
Ordinary women just disdained the things around them, and would be amazed when they saw those jewelry. Unexpectedly, Mu Yun looked like he was commonplace. Mrs. Qian had just muttered to himself in his heart. When he heard Yin Xin's words, he quickly replied: "Some, some, please move to the private room on the second floor."
Shuhua and Xiao Nanpu looked at each other and said in disbelief: "There is actually a second floor?"
