Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 236, there are many rules in Beijing
Qiao Fang is quiet and courteous, speaks well, and will not provoke others.

Chi Yan didn't look for her recently because the young lady from Shang Guogong's family came to Yaoshan, and he was there to accompany him. Xiao Qing thought that that was Chi Yan's good match.In addition, he has to prepare for the porcelain conference. He is very busy recently, so he can only put Qiao Fang aside.

She was afraid that one night he would come to Qiao Fang again on a whim and something would happen, and it would be too late for her to regret it.

"Qiao Fang, if the prince comes to look for you again, you should politely agree to it. You must not be tough with him. You must learn to be clever and devious, and keep hinting to him. It is impossible for you! In addition, if he really comes to you , let your second brother stay by your side, you know?"

Qiao Fang pursed her lips tightly, lowered her head in shame, "Mother, let you worry about my affairs..."

Xiao Qing smiled, and she can't be blamed for this matter, it's polite for the whole family to say so.

"Don't worry about it, it's not your fault! Mother understands."

Qiao Fang smiled and hummed.

Looking at Qiao Fang and Ah Luan, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this kid was not bad. If Qiao Fang was with him, maybe Chi Yan's thoughts could be broken. Alas, it's better not to worry about it, let these two go with the flow.

She thought about it and looked at Qiao Erjing again: "By the way, there is still the matter of the second classic. When you go to see brother Hong, you should visit your elder brother more often and send some food, clothes, and bedding in. Don't be reluctant." Give them money, give them more, and let them take more care of your elder brother."

"Okay, mother, I'll go to the yamen to see my brother as soon as I'm free!" Qiao Erjing promised.

After thinking about it, she took almost all of the family's money with her, and she didn't know how much money she would need to spend to go to Beijing, but she left a few hundred taels for the family to pay the long-term wages.

"Okay, let's eat!" Xiao Qing said reassuringly.

The whole family nodded with a smile, picked up the chopsticks in their hands, and ate together.

No matter when, how many times they eat such a sumptuous meal, as long as the whole family eats it together, they will feel that the meal is filled with fairy flavor, and it is very delicious, even more delicious than the meal in the Bibi Laibin restaurant.

Their mother went to Shangjing to discuss the charcoal fire business, because mother had told them about it a few days ago, although it felt a bit like explaining the funeral, none of them thought much about it.

It's just that none of them thought that Xiao Qing's departure might be separated from them forever.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Qing took two hundred catties of cornel flour noodles and put them on the carriage, leaving a few days' supply for Laibin Restaurant, and a ten-day supply for Chi's Restaurant. When going to Shangjing, change some chili powder noodles, mix them together, and send them to two restaurants in Shangjing.

Ah Luan changed into the clothes of the Yachai, and drove the carriage to the county together.

When they arrived at the county seat, Zhou Chuan was waiting at the entrance of the restaurant. After the three of them met, they rushed to Shangjing.

……

Shangjing is the most prosperous place in all the prefectures and counties in Daqing. Different high-ranking officials live in each big square. The closer to the imperial city, the higher the status and the more expensive the price of the lot.

On every street in Shangjing, any restaurant, inn, tea shop or fruit shop may be the nepotism of some high-ranking official, or the shop of a noble family. It just depends on whose family's rank and status are precious.

Therefore, the people who went to the capital thought they were taller than others, and they felt this way when they came from the gate of the city. carriage.

The concept of hierarchy is very deep here, and the imperial power and dignitaries are also divided into ranks, so it often happens that the first rank of officials crushes people to death.

The most prominent family in Shangjing today is the Yu family. When the Nine Kings and the current crown prince took over the heir apparent, the father and son of the Yu family made military exploits. Blocked a deadly sword for the prince, and later became the right-hand man of the current emperor. His son-in-law was promoted to the first rank to be the leader of the forbidden army.

The second is Grand Master He's family. Although he did not inherit the title of title, Grand Master He was the elder of the two dynasties and lived in the first rank. He is respected. The middle-aged Grand Master He has no real power in his hands, but he is the elder of the two dynasties after all. The dignitaries of the court have important matters in the court, and they also need to look at his face.

Furthermore, the other two of the three princes, as well as the princes and earls, the six ministers, and the cabinet ministers are all honorable.

However, although the current emperor is young, he is full of wings. Yu's family, the cabinet and the six ministries are all the emperor's confidantes.

The three of Xiao Qing came to Shangjing for only half a day, and they were overwhelmed by the elegance and ethics of Shangjing. Here they speak in a leisurely manner, smile a little when they see people, and walk very well, especially the family members of officials and eunuchs. It must be covered by a hedge, and even a gust of wind blows in the carriage, but you can't see your true face.

How did she remember that Daqing was not so dogmatic, official women played polo, cuju, throwing pots, six arts, all of them, and they were a bit of a heroine, and the six arts of official women were imitated by women from neighboring countries. Why did they come to Beijing? , Seeing these real people, is it different from what you imagined?

"Shopkeeper, I think the women and girls here are all wearing fences. You are too attractive to walk on the street like this. When people on the street look at you, they don't come from Beijing. They look like you from childhood. The appearance of a village woman from a small town in the county!" Ah Luan said as he walked behind Xiao Qing and Zhou Chuan and looked at the woman passing by.

Xiao Qing didn't look back, and didn't intend to talk to him. She was almost pissed off by him along the way. She was looking for a tea shop, and even made things difficult for the waiter. She had never heard of Liubao tea, and said it was tea. If you don’t wash it or boil it with good water and a good pot, you can’t drink the essence of tea from heaven and earth, and naturally you can’t taste the unique appearance of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth given to tea by heaven and earth. Zhou Chuan took out his own black pottery teapot , grabbed some Six Treasures tea that he was carrying in his pocket and re-boiled it for him to drink.

He had to take turns driving a carriage with Zhou Chuan, saying that Zhou Chuan couldn't sit with her in the carriage all the time, for fear of causing gossip, he asked him to go outside to help drive the carriage.

After hearing this, Zhou Chuan readily accepted it.

Xiao Qing felt that Zhou Chuan was already troubled enough by coming to Beijing, and he also targeted him everywhere along the way, so she could only apologize to Zhou Chuan repeatedly in private.

Fortunately, Zhou Chuan is open-minded and broad-minded. He is not as knowledgeable as him, and has always been humble and polite.

"Shopkeeper, I think this looks good. Look, I can carry it too. I don't have any money with me. You pay for it!" Ah Luan shouted behind her.

"This one is not bad too, shopkeeper Zhou, I'll get one for you too!" Ah Luan called Zhou Chuan again.

Zhou Chuan was embarrassed when he was called, so he could only smile and said: "Master Xiao, maybe Brother Ah Luan has never seen a bustling place like Shangjing, and everything he sees is strange. If you want to buy it, let's agree." He, thanks to his official uniform, took care of us along the way, he took care of our meals and lodgings, he was very careful."
