my grandmother

In a very small yard, two women brought food in.

Wan Qing and Li Xiaonan didn't dare to eat more, they took away the food, and the mother-in-law brought hot water in, and the two women who had been waiting in the yard waited for Li Xiaonan and Wan Qing to wash up again, loosen Li Xiaonan's hair, and combed it carefully , Wan Qing made the decision, chose a hairstyle, the mother-in-law was very skilled, combed her hair, and took a pair of lapis lazuli flowers from Wan Qing to cover her temples.

Li Xiaonan stood up and took off her muslin jacket, but Wan Qing came out first with a tube top.

"You!" Li Xiaonan yelled as she clicked on this tube top.

Does this make her change from the innermost to the outermost?
"This is our cousin's, not mine." Wan Qing hurriedly explained.

"I mean this one has to be changed too?"

"That's right, look at the material of your clothes, it's so thick, how does it go with these?" Wan Qing picked up Li Xiaonan's padded jacket with one hand and shook it.

"Why can't it match? I don't need to change this one. I still wear my own comfortable ones." Li Xiaonan firmly rejected the thin silk tube top.

"Hey, it's okay, I'll listen to you." Wan Qing sighed repeatedly, put down her tube top, and picked up a small underwear.

"How many layers do you want to wear?" Li Xiaonan reached out and rummaged through the pile of clothes.

"This is the first piece. It is the original white silk that has been washed. This kind of thin silk is the softest. After washing the starch, it can fit comfortably.

"This is the second piece. There is a thin layer of silk cotton in the middle, no matter how it is Dongyue, it must be stained with cotton. This is what our uncle and wife are particular about.

"This is the third piece. Only the collar and cuffs are embroidered, because only the collar and sleeves are directly exposed. Look how good the embroidery is. Our uncle and wife like to pay attention to these details, saying that it is neither ostentatious nor decent.

"Then there is this tulle. The embroidery on it is on this piece. Look, isn't it sober and elegant? This is also what our uncle and wife are particular about. It is said that the embroidery is embroidered on this kind of organdy, Can take a few more clothes."

Wan Qing showed Li Xiaonan one by one.

Li Xiaonan took several breaths.

This whole set of clothes, not including the white fox jacket, must be worth more than all of their family's possessions!

Except for the two most close-fitting pieces, Li Xiaonan changed into the clothes Wan Qing brought from the inside out, stood in front of the full-length mirror that was one person tall, and sighed, it really is that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles!

Wan Qing also asked the old lady to comb her hair again, and changed into a new set of clothes. The duck shell green skirt and duck shell green half of her arms revealed half of her pine green pipa sleeves, neat and tidy.

"You look good!" Li Xiaonan walked around Wan Qing.

"This is the holiday dress of the girls in our uncle's house, it's first class!" Wan Qing turned around, she didn't envy this dress, she envied first class.

"We have to go, it's almost time." Wan Qing put on her silk coat by herself, picked up the white fox coat and put it on Li Xiaonan, and pushed Li Xiaonan.

"Am I a girl? Then what am I doing by Mr. He's side?" Li Xiaonan asked as she walked out, dragging the white fox coat.

"Your clothes belong to our cousin! Go away."

"What am I?" Li Xiaonan caught up with Wan Qing and asked again.

"I don't know! Just ask when the time comes."

Following the two women, the two of them left the corner door, walked through half a narrow alley with high walls on both sides, entered another corner door, and walked along the houses for half an hour. In front of the two-story building, the old woman stood, indicating that she had arrived.

Wan Qing stopped and motioned for Li Xiaonan to go ahead.

"I don't know the way, I've never been here before." Li Xiaonan signaled Wan Qing to go first.

"Look at our clothes, you are the master and I am the servant, how can I go ahead of you, hurry up." Wan Qing urged.

"You chose this outfit for me because of this?" Li Xiaonan muttered, and raised her foot forward.

The building was warm, Wan Qing took Li Xiaonan's white fox jacket and hugged her in her arms.

A servant trotted out to greet her, "Girl, this way please."

Li Xiaonan was in front, Wan Qing followed closely behind, followed the servant, and walked through a very high and narrow aisle. At the bright entrance of the aisle, He Chengze, the shopkeeper of Old He, was wearing a bronze brocade gown. When he saw Li Xiaonan, he immediately bowed with a smile.

Li Xiaonan hurriedly walked a few steps and bowed her knees to salute. Before she could ask, Old Shopkeeper He said with a smile: "My son has just arrived, please."

Shopkeeper He bowed and let Li Xiaonan go first.

"Master He please first." Li Xiaonan hurriedly asked Mr. He.

Shopkeeper He took a step to the side, beckoned Li Xiaonan to come forward, and said: "Over there, the one in the warehouse green shirt is Du Shilang from our customs department, and the one over there is Luo Shilang, and next to him is Wang Shilang."

Li Xiaonan hurriedly followed Mr. He's introduction to recognize him.

Shopkeeper He slowed down, suppressed his voice, and introduced as he walked.

Gu Yan turned his back to Li Xiaonan, and was listening intently to a middle-aged man. The surrounding movement fluctuated to the middle-aged man. Gu Yan followed the eyes of the middle-aged man, turned to look at Li Xiaonan, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

Following the introduction of old shopkeeper He, Li Xiaonan smiled and greeted him, his beauty dazzled him a bit.

This sky blue and gray suit really suits her, generous and elegant, totally different from the usual little girl.

The sight of her in front of him made him feel as if he saw the former Lvxiu in a trance. The feeling of seeing Lvxiu for the first time was suddenly very clear. Lvxiu was dressed in ai green, like a clear spring in a quiet mountain forest. He was exhausted physically and mentally at that time... …

Gu Yan stared at Li Xiaonan intently, he even felt the warmth and gentleness of the green sleeves next to him...

"Master?" The middle-aged man next to him looked at Li Xiaonan, then at Gu Yan who was in a daze, and called out cautiously.

"Oh!" Gu Yan shook his head, twirled the folding fan in his hand twice quickly, pointed at Li Xiaonan and said with a smile: "This little girl is usually very fierce, but you can't tell now, can you?"

"Yes, yes." The middle-aged man's heart was lifted by Gu Yan's question.

who is thisDare to be very fierce to the son of the world?Should I ask a question?What should I say?Where are you bragging?
Li Xiaonan followed old shopkeeper He, facing a gentle scholar in his twenties, and couldn't hide his surprise when old shopkeeper He introduced that he was head Liu of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

She knows where Nanyang is, and she also knows the customs and customs there. How can the head Liu in front of her look like Nanyang at all?
Moreover, she heard Gu Yan talk about the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce ranked in the top ten of the big merchants who brought silk to the sea, this head Liu is really too young and delicate.

Looking at the astonishment on Li Xiaonan's face, Master Liu on the opposite side smiled and bowed slightly, "The girl's demeanor is also unexpected." After a pause, he smiled again: "It's more than expected. The girl is beautiful and beautiful, as quiet as a forest The water in the deep pool moves like the moving white clouds coming out of Xiuxiu, but I am so clumsy that I can't describe the beauty of the girl."

Li Xiaonan's eyes widened when she heard this, "Is this your Nanyang custom? You call it clumsy, but what about a clever one? Do you have to say a long poem on the spot?"

Master Liu laughed out loud, "If girl wants to watch it, I will stay up all night to express my admiration."

"Forget it. I'm the worst in poetry and Fu. I often have a headache even with rhymes. Do you like math? What about Gewu?" Li Xiaonan asked seriously.

Master Liu raised his eyebrows high, laughed again, and cupped his hands while laughing, "I made a mistake, but this is really speaking from the bottom of my heart. Girl, forgive me."

Li Xiaonan slightly bent her knees, and asked with a smile, "Does Nanyang also speak Daqi dialect?"

"In Nanyang, you should first learn Daqi dialect when you enter school, and the books you study are the same as Daqi's. Nanyang people who don't study speak Nanyang dialect, and there are many kinds of Nanyang dialect." Mr. Liu explained in great detail.

"What about the looks? Are they all like you?" Li Xiaonan continued to ask.

"The better Daqi speaks, the more he looks like me. Those who speak Nanyang dialect are darker and shorter, with slightly different eyebrows and eyes." Master Liu smiled.

Li Xiaonan let out a dragging voice, "I understand."

"What do you know?" Liu Dangjia immediately asked.

"Mandarin is also Mandarin in Nanyang." Li Xiaonan laughed.

Master Liu laughed out loud, "You really understand."

"Master Liu's ancestral home is in Daqi?" Li Xiaonan looked at Mr. Liu.

Liu Dangjia looked at Li Xiaonan with a smile, but said nothing.

"I took the liberty." Li Xiaonan hurriedly bowed her knees and apologized.

"If the girl is interested in Nanyang, I will invite the girl to taste our Nanyang delicacies some other day." Master Liu returned the gift with a bow and said with a smile.

"Okay." Li Xiaonan agreed casually, bent her knees slightly again, took a step towards the old shopkeeper He who was waiting next to her, and then bent her knees and smiled following the introduction of old shopkeeper He.

Invite you to dinner another day, that's all for today, she knows very well.

Liu Dangjia also took a few steps to the side, talking to someone, but he kept looking at Li Xiaonan out of the corner of his eye.

This banquet, named after the dinner party, is fully represented in the long table along the wall with all kinds of food, such as Pingjiang noodles, glutinous rice balls, side dishes, and various dim sum. .

Throughout the dinner, that is, Gu Yan toasted and said a few words, and the rest of the time it was you talking to me and I talking to you, almost everyone surrounded Gu Yan, or stared at Gu Yan, looking for a way to talk to Gu Yan. A chance for Yan to say a few words.

Li Xiaonan was only caring about people, and didn't care about eating, Wan Qing followed Li Xiaonan without moving a step.

Fortunately, both of them were engrossed and didn't feel hungry.

The dinner didn't last long, Xuzheng broke up around the time, Li Xiaonan and Wan Qing returned to the small courtyard of He's house, and the mother-in-law immediately brought in the food box and brought in the food.

The next day, when Li Xiaonan woke up, it was already broad daylight.

Hearing the movement, Wan Qing stretched her head to take a look, then took Li Xiaonan's clothes and came in, before she could say anything, she laughed.

"During Yinzheng, Shi Dun came over to deliver a message, saying that our elder son had ordered him to have breakfast with you after he finished practicing, and said that if you got up early, you should wait."

Li Xiaonan hurriedly turned her head to look for the hourglass.

"It's already two quarters of the first day of the morning, and our son is so busy, we had dinner early and went to the Customs Department." Wan Qing stuffed the clothes into Li Xiaonan's hands. "Before our elder son left, he ordered that if you haven't woken up before the beginning of the morning, I will give you some snacks for breakfast, and you won't be allowed to eat too much, so that you won't be able to eat well at noon."

"I'm not a member of your family! I'm usually not this late. I was too tired yesterday." Li Xiaonan put on her clothes quickly.

"I've asked, there are meat gnocchi, sugar porridge, sweet wine balls, whitebait spring rolls, ham shortbread, shrimp siu mai, and rice dumplings." Wan Qing laughed a few times. , said with a suppressed voice.

Li Xiaonan burst out laughing immediately, "I want a bowl of sugar porridge, and I want a cage of shumai with shrimps! Have you tried it yet?"

"I woke up right away, I've already eaten."

Li Xiaonan washed up, had breakfast, Wanqing went out to ask for a car, and came back after a while, "It is the order of the son, to let you wait for him to come back before leaving."

This was expected by Li Xiaonan, since he let her see it, he must ask her what she saw.
