Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 556 Wandering (2)
"Miss Si, it's the first time for this servant to come to the emperor's feet. It seems that there are rich people in the capital. The clothes are made of silk and satin."

Erni sat on the small pier and looked out together with Qingli's second sister, Mo Qingqiang. This maid was new to everything, she looked outside without blinking her eyes.In Fengyang Town, anyone who doesn't wear fine cotton clothes with patches is from a very good family. In Kyoto, no one wears fine cotton clothes.

"That's because this area is full of rich people."

What Erni saw was only a corner of the capital. There are poor people everywhere, those who can’t eat, those who don’t have enough to eat. Along the way, I saw that the houses of the people in the capital are very neat, with blue bricks and large tile houses. The dragon on the field turned over, Qingli thought about it, and Emperor Hongde did one or two good things like this, most of the time he didn't know right from wrong, confused.

"Girl Li, look quickly!"

After Qingli and Erni said a few words, they closed their eyes and rested their minds. They hadn't slept all night and were already very tired. It would be nice if they could take a nap during this time. She was just a little confused when she was called out by her second sister Mo Qingqiang .

"Girl Li, who are these armored people? They don't look like officials."

From a section of the long street, a group of people ran back, everyone was wearing armor, with a knife on their waist, with a solemn expression, what Mo Qingqiang wondered was that such a sky-piercing armor, is it really not hot?

"The Imperial Forest Army! Why are you dispatched again?"

Under normal circumstances, it is rare to meet the Royal Forest Army outside the imperial city. At this time, this group of people is walking, not riding a horse. I don't know what happened to the Duke's Mansion last night, and whether they hid there or not.

"These imperial guards are generally seldom in the outer city, and most of them are patrolling the palace city. I don't know what day it is today."

Qingli looked outside again, pretending to be confused, anyway, it's not about the family's business, whoever loves it will be unlucky, that Shan Shizi is a hypocrite, he is already engaged to Xu Ying, and he still wants to destroy her reputation , if he hadn't provoked in the middle, how could He Yun hold a grudge against her.

"These grown-ups are really majestic!"

Mo Qingju blinked, and exchanged with her second sister Qing Qiang and maid Er Ni about her feelings in Kyoto. The purpose of her visit this time is to see the world. Seeing the majestic imperial guards now is a worthwhile trip.

After the Imperial Forest Army arrived, they quickly occupied the road, and the surrounding carriages were blocked, so they had to stop at the same time. Qing Li rubbed her forehead and felt that it was a mistake to choose to go out today. She asked the coachman, "What's the situation ahead? Inspection?"

"Miss, I don't know the little one. Several carriages around are stopped now, and I haven't seen anyone getting out of the carriage yet."

In front, the coachman wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and looked around. If other coachmen got off the car and waited for questioning, he would follow. He is no stranger to such situations. The last time the emperor was assassinated in the royal hunting ground , Kyoto was also under martial law for several days.

"Well, then wait."

Qingli ordered the coachman to continue leaning against the wall of the carriage. After the carriage stopped, there was no wind at all, and she could only rely on the ice basin to relieve the heat. Mo Qingqiang and Mo Qingju had never seen such a situation before. Lie on the car window on the left and right to observe the movement outside.

"Excuse me, is this the carriage of General Zhongwu's mansion? I wonder if Miss Mo is in the carriage?"

Outside the carriage, stood a woman, her voice was slightly raised, she was talking to the driver on the surface, but she was actually asking the people inside the carriage.

"Who are you? Our lady is taking a nap in the car."

Hongdou quickly stepped forward, opened the curtain to answer, the woman standing outside was neatly dressed, smeared with pomade, her hair was combed smoothly, and there was a golden hairpin stuck on it, she looked a bit like the nun of a government lady Mama, but Hongdou doesn't know her.

"You are Miss Mo's maid, right? Our master is the servant of the Ministry of War, and his surname is Xu."

The woman spoke very politely, nodded to Hongdou, and explained her intentions, "The carriage of our Xu residence is next to us, and our lady would like to invite Miss Mo to the carriage, because I have something intimate to say and disturb Miss Mo .”

"Xu Ying?"

Qingli slowly opened her eyes, stretched her waist, looked at the situation ahead, she didn't know how long the carriage would be blocked, and she hadn't seen Xu Ying for a while, although this person was a bit arrogant, he was not bad, It's just that his eyesight is not very good, and he actually fell in love with the fake and righteous Shan Shizi.

"Miss, do you see?"

Hongdou was not very happy, why did she want her own lady to take the carriage to Xu's mansion, why can't Miss Xu come over, is it because the master is not as high-ranking as Xu Shilang?It's only two levels behind, and when the master returns from the border victory this time, there will be even greater fortunes in his family.

"Go and have a look, I just have something to ask."

Qingli stood up and explained to her second sister and cousin that a few people came out and didn't take many people with them. It was hot, and although it was spacious, it was not suitable for too many people. She told the location of tea and snacks, and then brought He got out of the carriage with red beans.

"Miss Mo, I'm really sorry. Our lady is really unwell, so I have to trouble you."

The old woman was very polite when she spoke, and the next carriage was about to be left and right, Qing Li didn't care about it, nodded, and got into Xu's carriage.After getting into the car, I realized that what the woman said was not a scene. Xu Ying was leaning against the wall of the car, wearing a white dress, her face was as pale as paper, and she was not energetic. There were two ice basins on the carriage, and the window Pull them all up, this one up, it's eerie.

"Give Miss Mo some ice water."

Xu Ying's voice was very weak, and it gave off a feeling of breathlessness. It looked like a symptom after heatstroke, but it was so cold in the carriage, and Qingli had goosebumps. Heatstroke was unlikely in this environment.

"Miss Xu, you're welcome."

On the third day of the little day, I was not too comfortable to drink ice water. Just now when my second sister Qing Qiang and cousin Qing Ju were drinking ice pear juice, she really wanted to drink a sip to relieve the heat. Afterwards, the pain was desperate, but I still held back.

"Call you Qingli, and you're welcome, call me Aying."

Xu Ying stretched out her skinny hands to support the servant girl who was waiting on the side, and sat up slightly. The carriage was dark, and she asked the servant girl to light the aroma lamp, which is a kind of oil lamp that burns incense slices, with incense on the top and lamp oil on the bottom. The base does not take up space, and is very popular with the officials in Kyoto. Basically, everyone has it on their carriages. It is made by Qingli's home furnishing shop, and the price is not expensive.

The smell of jasmine, fragrance, not pungent, Qingli thinks it is not bad, she sits opposite Xu Ying, the cushion of the carriage is thickened, and a layer of polished smooth bamboo curtain is placed on it, and a large curtain is hung on the carriage. The red fringed nets are surrounded by a few pieces of batik fabric. This is a new product that I just bought. The batiks are all people from overseas. The vases and landscapes are not very popular in Kyoto.Seeing such decorations inside Xu Ying's carriage at this moment, I think she is a person who is ahead of fashion.
