The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 709 Fighting in the Day Market (1)
Xiaojuan gently moved the chair over, and then took the clothes that Qingshu was going to wear today and put them on the back of the chair.Little by little, the heat from the charcoal basin warmed the clothes on the back of the chair.

Feeling that it's almost time, Qingshu got up without Xiaojuan calling.After dressing, washing, and combing hair, after a simple breakfast, I went to the bride's room who was being dressed.

Back and forth, Qing Shu personally married the three girls.Her only thought was that it was a terrible crime for a woman to marry.Thinking that I will get married sooner or later, I was shocked at the time.Get up before dawn, let people make hair and face like a puppet, and then bid farewell to the elders in the family and get on the sedan chair.Those who are close to marriage will be carried into the husband's house on the same day, and various ceremonies will be carried out.Those who marry far away have to go on the road a few days in advance.Getting married is too much trouble.

Qingshu stayed in Chen Xuan's room for a while, and Chen Xuan's bridal makeup was completed.Then, the etiquette was completed step by step. Finally, Chen Xuan was carried by her brother on the sedan chair and was welcomed away by the groom's official.

Watching the bridal sedan go away, Qing Shu then walked back with the female family members of the Chen family.

At Chen time, the sun was shining brightly, driving away a little bit of winter chill.Qingyang, Qing Hao, and Luo Xiaorong climbed into the carriage excitedly, ready to go shopping with Qing Shu and buy new year's goods.

Chen Qiaojiang was dragged and scolded by his mother for a long time before he hurried over.Before the boy could react, he quickly got into the carriage.Looking up, he saw Qing Shu and his elder sister Chen Lan sitting in the carriage. He quickly called sister and got out of the carriage quickly.He ran to another carriage, quickly got into the carriage, and then complained to Qingyang and the others.

When everyone arrived, Steward Ding and the steward of Chen's House nodded to each other, and then set off with a yell.Surrounded by maids, mother-in-law and a group of servants, the two carriages left Chen's mansion and drove towards the most prosperous street in Jinyang City.

Not long after, the guard Luo who left the day before yesterday to inquire about the news returned to the Chen residence.I heard that the young lady took the young masters out for shopping, and they still have to have lunch outside.Without further ado, Guard Luo left the Chen residence and searched for it all the way.

On Shenglong Street, there are many restaurants and various shops on both sides.This is the most prosperous street in Jinyang City.There is also the famous day and night markets where small merchants and hawkers of all kinds gather during the New Year's Eve.As the name suggests, the day market is open from Sishi to evening during the day, and the night market is open from evening to Xushi.

In order not to affect the normal business of various shops on Shenglong Street, the day and night markets were allocated to a mile-long street from the end of Shenglong Street to about 600 meters from the North City Gate.

The year is getting closer and closer, and since the [-]st day of the twelfth lunar month, the day and night markets have begun.And today, it happens to be the first day of the opening of the market, that is, the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month.Qingyang and the others would beg their sister to bring them to Jinyang City, just to play in the day and night markets.

In fact, the New Year's goods in Gufu have almost been bought.Therefore, Qingshu took Qingyang and the others only to two big shops, Mobaozhai (a shop selling calligraphy, painting and the Four Treasures of the Study) and Fuguilou (a tea house with storytellers inside). Lou listened to the book for half an hour.After that, everyone went directly to the day market which was open during the day.

The day and night markets on Shenglong Street are different from those inside the city gate.Small merchants and hawkers accounted for half of the market, and farmers who sold their own odds and ends or crops also accounted for half.The stalls in the day and night markets are surrounded by small and medium-sized shops and small traders, and there is no place for farmers to intervene.Moreover, the government's management of the day and night cities of each New Year's Day is relatively strict.The stalls on both sides of the street are in order, the hygiene is very good, and the police come out to patrol from time to time, and the safety is also reassuring.Most petty theft dare not come here to commit crimes.

Cars and horses are not allowed to enter here, you must walk.Qing Shu and Chen Lan walked together surrounded by maidservants.The four boys, Chen Qiaojiang and Qingyang, walked ahead enthusiastically, and the book boys and guards followed closely.

When approaching a booth, Qingshu heard a boy shouting.She couldn't help looking for the sound curiously.

It was a boy with a square face, but he looked about thirteen or fourteen years old.He was guarding the cloth and embroidery stalls with two middle-aged women, shouting loudly.

"...Hey! Passers-by, please look over here, this is the stall of Jixiangzhuang. Anyone who buys cloth, embroidery and other items sold at this stall and spends three taels of silver will receive a unique silk flower worth a dime .Anyone who buys items sold on the stalls with five taels of silver will receive a pair of delicate juanhua flowers worth three pennies. If you need to buy high-quality brocade, silk, etc., please go to Jixiangzhuang located in the east section of Shenglong Street. There must be surprises waiting for the distinguished guests today. Hey! Passers-by, please take a look, this is the stall of Jixiangzhuang. Anyone who buys cloth, embroidery and other items sold at this stall and spends three taels of silver will receive a gift worth one dollar. A fancy silk flower for hanging money..."

Qingshu raised her eyebrows, Xindaopan shopkeeper has a lot of tricks, not only the promotional means of free purchases, but also the attractive ancient version of the advertisement.At the beginning, when she hired Shopkeeper Pan, she was interested in the character of Shopkeeper Pan, and secondly, because Shopkeeper Pan was good at doing business.It has been seven months since Jixiangzhuang was handed over to shopkeeper Pan, and the business in the shop has been good, with considerable profits.Shopkeeper Pan also has his own set of practices when it comes to managing shop personnel.

Qing Shu was more and more sure of Shopkeeper Pan's ability, and began to think about the matter that Shopkeeper Pan entrusted her.

Chen Lan on the side looked curiously at the cloth and other items on the stall, then turned her gaze to Qing Shu's face, "Sister Shu, I wonder what surprise Jixiangzhuang has prepared today?" She Know that Jixiangzhuang is the property of Qingshu.

Qing Shu smiled lightly, "The treasurer Pan is the best at fooling people, and he started to toss about when he got two Luo Jin."

Chen Lan covered her mouth with her sleeve, and laughed out loud, "Sure enough, there is a surprise. The young ladies in the city are going to rob two brocades, and their faces will be red."

Qing Shu shook her head, "Where is it so exaggerated?"

Chen Lan smiled even more happily, "What my sister said is not an exaggeration at all, that is Luo Jin! Fortunately, my sister doesn't have to fight with others, and I can go to my grandmother to ask for it when I want it."

Cherry, Chen Lan's personal maidservant, interjected from the side, "The cousins ​​who were guests at the mansion yesterday heard that Miss Gu sent two pieces of brocade to the old lady, and while envious, they vented their anger on her. Hehe Hee... Finally, I asked Miss to introduce her, saying that I want to get closer to Miss Gu!" Her words not only praised her own lady, but also Qingshu, and she also pushed her at the right time, so that the relationship between her lady and Qingshu deepen intimacy.

After hearing this, Chen Lan immediately reprimanded, "Shut up, we sisters are talking, so you can interrupt me." The tone did not imply anger.

Cherry smiled obediently, "Master taught me that." Then he apologized to Qingshu politely, and stepped back a few steps.
