The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

I didn't sleep well last night, because I was too full to eat, the husband and wife didn't go to bed until midnight, but they were uncomfortable lying on the bed.

Early the next morning, Chunxiang waited outside the door for a long time, but there was no movement.It was three poles high in the sun before Li Mingren came out of the room, stretched his arms and legs, imitating Zhao Yunlan's usual movements after getting up.

"Chunxiang!" Li Mingren called from inside the house, and Chunxiang pushed open the door to come in. Before that, Chunxiang had been waiting outside the door without making a sound.

"Sir, do you want hot water?"

Li Mingren: "Well, call for hot water! My wife will get up in a while, and then arrange some meals. Well, it's best to be easy to digest."

Chunxiang saluted and responded, "Yes."

After Chunxiang went out, Zhao Yunlan got up, "Hey, it's really uncomfortable to sleep after eating."

Li Mingren heard the sound and came in, "We can't be like this today."

Zhao Yunlan said playfully, "Yes, I listen to my husband."

Li Mingren was very useful, and said with a smile: "The sun is good today, let's go out for a stroll?"

Zhao Yunlan asked back: "Shouldn't you cherish the time to study hard in such a good weather? Can you hear the sound of reading next door? Are you not in a hurry?"

Since staying in the inn, I can always hear the sound of students studying for exams, and sometimes a group of students will gather in the lobby to discuss their studies.

Li Mingren said coquettishly: "Of course I'm anxious, but just today, I want to accompany my wife."

Zhao Yunlan shook her shoulders, watched the hot water come in and hurriedly said, "Okay, let's wash up and eat."

Chunxiang ordered fish porridge and added two dumplings.The fish porridge is not fishy, ​​it only tastes delicious, and the dumplings are quite big, so the couple didn't eat any more after each one.

"Let He Wen inquire about renting the yard in a while." Zhao Yunlan said.

Li Mingren smiled: "This kid asked the shopkeeper for the news early in the morning and has already gone out to find the dentist."

"Ha, you said that you are no big deal to He Wen, why now that you are a master, you look like a master." Zhao Yunlan couldn't help teasing.

Li Mingren: "What's the matter, I am now the head of the family."

Zhao Yunlan snorted and didn't speak, Li Mingren continued: "They listen to me, I listen to my wife~"

Zhao Yunlan: "Hurry up and eat your meal!"

After the meal, the other five people left the inn together. Chunxiang and He Hua had long wanted to go for a stroll. This is the capital city, a big place with high walls.Here is the foot of the emperor, maybe you can see the emperor!It’s just that I don’t know him. After all, he is visiting in a micro-service. Well, this is what is said in the storybook. How can these ordinary people know the real situation?

Ye Sheng followed Chunxiang and whispered: "Chunxiang, do you think we can go and see what the palace looks like?"

Chunxiang: "You shouldn't just go there casually! Don't talk nonsense, you'll be overheard by others in a while."

Li Mingren listened to the whispers behind him, and pretended to be serious: "Nowadays, without Nanny Cui and Butler Li, your rules are getting worse and worse."

Chunxiang and Ye Sheng immediately bowed their heads and stood up, not daring to move, and said, "Master, forgive me, but this servant (villain) will never dare again."

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren tenderly and said, "Okay, don't mess with moths on the street." Then she turned her head and asked Chunxiang, Ye Sheng and the two of them: "What are you two talking about behind?"

Chunxiang: "This servant is talking, talking..."

He Hua: "Sister Chunxiang and Brother Ye Sheng are talking about going to see the Imperial City."

Ye Sheng: "I brought this matter up, if you want to punish me, please punish me!"

Just as Li Mingren was about to speak, Zhao Yunlan said: "Let's talk about the punishment when we go back, we can't escape any one of them today. Let's go shopping first, don't spoil your master's mood."

Li Mingren: "..."

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren: "Why don't we go and have a look? Shouldn't we be caught as an assassin?"

Li Mingren: "My lady, have you also secretly read the script?"

Zhao Yunlan thought to herself: I really didn't read the script, it was all played out on TV before.

Li Mingren continued: "The imperial palace is on Jia'an Street, and there are indeed generals guarding it, but now the world is peaceful, and the generals are only patrolling and guarding on a routine basis. People can also go there to have a look, but there are almost no shops there. It is empty, so ordinary people in the capital will not go there.

Only during New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival, the emperor celebrates with the common people on the imperial city wall, that is the busiest time in the imperial city.Usually, there are carriages and horses of civil and military officials there. If you want to see the imperial city, you have to look far away, otherwise you will encounter some powerful characters who will collide with the princes and nobles. "

Zhao Yunlan nodded understandingly, this is ancient times, and the hierarchy is strict, and now it's in the capital, so it's better to be careful in everything.

"Then let's go shopping on East Street and see what's interesting there." Zhao Yunlan said with a smile, holding Li Mingren's hand.Pedestrians passing by on the street couldn't help but look sideways, and Li Mingren responded with a smile.

Zhao Yunlan felt everyone's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this is not the case here.I said silently in my heart: be careful, and never do anything out of line.

Zhao Yunlan let go of Li Mingren, resumed her wife-like posture, and walked aside.Li Mingren was a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to say anything.

As we walked, Zhao Yunlan suddenly said, "Let's buy some things and send them back. There are a lot of good things in this capital city. I don't know if they can be sent back in time for the Chinese New Year. Let's treat it as a New Year's gift."

Li Mingren nodded in agreement: "Then go and have a look. Oh, by the way, I want to buy some good tea for our father. There must be better tea in this capital." The father mentioned here is Zhao Daliang, Zhao Yunlan is very I am happy that Li Mingren can think of his father-in-law first.

Zhao Yunlan: "Yes, fine."

This side of the East Street is mostly merchants' homes, there are many shops here, and most of the big merchants gather here.At first glance, I only feel that it is full of glory.The houses of the merchants are beautifully built. From the outside, each house is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings. From a distance, there should be pavilions and pavilions inside.

"Let's go in and have a look at the rouge." Zhao Yunlan looked at a rouge shop in front of her. When she lived in Jinzhou City, she would occasionally go to the rouge shop to buy some face cream, but Li Mingmei would buy some rouge.Zhao Yunlan is lazy in makeup, and only used rouge once when she went to the banquet of Liu Zhifu.

The rouge here is not made of cinnabar, but made of flowers and beeswax. This is what Madam Cui said when talking about the capital. This kind of rouge was developed by a female gentleman. Forced to sell this formula.

It’s just that many rouge sellers only consider profit. Regardless of the quality, the products are very poor. Coupled with the delay in news caused by the inconvenient transportation here, the better rouge is naturally much more expensive.

The rouge that Li Mingmei bought in Fucheng is considered to be the best, and a box costs two taels of silver. The rouge shop in Jinzhou City also buys some rouge from the capital to sell, and they are often sold out as soon as they arrive at the store. It's not cheap.

Li Mingmei snatched it once, and it is indeed more delicate than the one in Jinzhou, and the color is also better, but the price~ the goods from the capital can be sold for four taels to six taels.

Zhao Yunlan wanted to send some boxes of rouge back to Li Mingmei, and dragged Li Mingren to the rouge shop.The rouge shop was full of ladies and ladies, and it was a bit strange to see a male guest strolling in it suddenly.

Li Mingren didn't care about other people's eyes, and Zhao Yunlan was also focused on the rouge. I have to say that the rouge here is indeed better.Zhao Yunlan also saw the box of rouge that Li Mingmei had snatched before. It was placed in the corner of the container. It was the cheapest kind in the store, selling for two taels of silver.Thinking about it, Mingmei seemed to have spent more than five taels to buy it.

Zhao Yunlan chose six boxes of rouge cream, two boxes for each of Mingmei and Wu Yi and her natal sister-in-law Huang, and some facial oils for Wang and Jiang.A total of 30 taels of silver was spent in the rouge shop.

Zhao Yunlan was about to leave, Li Mingren held Zhao Yunlan back and said, "My lady, don't you want to buy some for yourself?"

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "I won't buy it for the time being, I bought a box of face oil, which is enough for this winter."

Li Mingren: "Buy a box of rouge, I'll choose a box for my wife." Then he picked up a box that was more expensive than the ones Zhao Yunlan bought, and turned to the waiter next to him: "Wrap this box for me too."

Of course Xiao Er was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the rouge cream and packed it.Li Mingren took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Ye Sheng to pay.

The wife and girl who bought rouge next to her all cast envious glances at Zhao Yunlan. Not only did she accompany her to buy it, but she also chose it for the lady herself, without a trace of impatience throughout the process.Although this does not seem to be in line with the etiquette system, it is something that many women envy!
After leaving the rouge shop, Zhao Yunlan went to the ready-to-wear store. The ready-made clothes in the capital were beautiful and well-made. Zhao Yunlan thought about buying some more for Li Mingren and herself.

Besides, the weather here is indeed colder, and the winter clothes Zhao Yunlan brought couldn't resist the cold here.It seems that the down jacket can be opened here first.Thinking of this, Zhao Yunlan looked up at the furs hanging on the container.

"This fur is not bad, is this collar made of fox fur?" Zhao Yunlan asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of the clothing store introduced with a smile: "Madam has good eyesight, this is fox fur."

Zhao Yunlan touched the collar back and forth, it was so comfortable!
"Are there two?" Zhao Yunlan only saw one hanging out.

The shopkeeper smiled: "Yes, yes, madam, just wait a moment, I will send someone to the warehouse to fetch it right away."

"My lady, a fur is enough for me." Li Mingren said with a coquettish smile.

Zhao Yunlan rolled her eyes shallowly: "You are really self-indulgent, this is for father and the others. Each of the two fathers has one piece."

Li Mingren: "Hahaha..."

The waiter in the store brought over the fur, and the shopkeeper took it and spread it out for Zhao Yunlan: "Madam, what do you think?"

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Okay, what are the prices for these two items?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "Ma'am, if you buy two pieces, how about I just count you 90 taels? This one originally cost 50 taels. I think Madam sincerely wants it, so I will give you this price."

Zhao Yunlan buy it now: "Two pieces, 45 taels!"

Li Mingren was astonished.

The shopkeeper's expression trembled slightly, but he didn't show any anger, "Ma'am, it's a small business. Ma'am, the price is too low. How about 85 taels? It can't be lower."

Zhao Yunlan: "50 taels!"

The shopkeeper: "80 taels, it really can't be lowered."

Zhao Yunlan seemed to have lost her patience: "60 taels, if it doesn't work, I'll leave." After saying that, she turned around.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and looked distressed: "Okay, ma'am, you can take the 60 taels. This is a loss-making business for me!"

Zhao Yunlan: "Oh, let me choose a few more clothes, this is extra money for you!"

The shopkeeper smiled without saying a word.In the end, apart from the two furs, Zhao Yunlan also bought two sets of ready-made clothes for herself and Li Mingren, and of course bargaining was still the case.

The shopkeeper was not angry, and happily sent Zhao Yunlan and his party away, only showing that he had lost a lot of money.

"Hey, this fur can be regarded as sold." The shopkeeper looked at the empty cabinet with a satisfied look on his face.

The color of the fur was not pure, and the dignitaries didn't like it, while ordinary people thought the fur was too expensive, so they never sold it.

Zhao Yunlan also went to buy some jewelry. There are more styles in the capital. Zhao Yunlan took the initiative to buy some hairpins and earrings for herself this time.Before Li Mingren took the piece of jade that Juren received, Zhao Yunlan also sent it to the jewelry shop for the master to beat into a jade crown.

When the two were ready to go back to the inn, Ye Sheng and the three of them were already full.
