Chapter 11 Going to the streets
What's the difficulty? Anyway, she just wanted to see the ancient markets and shops.
Seeing Lan Xi's little expression after receiving the reply, Liu Yunyao was amused and laughed.
The next morning, Lan Xi quickly finished washing up with the help of Luluo and others. After eating some breakfast, she urged her to go to the main courtyard to find Liu Yunyao.
Fortunately, Liu Yunyao knew that her daughter would definitely not be able to bear it and had already prepared it early in the morning. Except for Song Qinnian who was in court, the whole family went out to take her shopping.
The capital city is divided into four cities in the east, west, south, north and north according to four major directions. Among them, the Xicheng is mostly residential areas, which can be basically only lived in by royal relatives or high-ranking officials and ministers; the Dongcheng is mostly home to low-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen, and it is also a famous shopping street in the capital.
The North City is a gathering place for the poor, and there are many shops inside, but they are all affordable shops, just to make money from ordinary people; the South City often lives in some cheap people, which is more chaotic, with gambling, wine shops, pawn shops, brothels and brothels.
Of course, Lan Xi, who was lying on the window of the carriage, looked outward, still knew nothing.
If she didn't ask, Liu Yunyao wouldn't take the initiative to tell her this. In her opinion, with them protecting her, Lan Xi would not have to contact the outside world in advance.
Lanxi looked at the scenery outside and felt that the first thing was that there were so few people, and they were not as bustling as in costume dramas.
There are also few vendors on the roadside, so I can only see a few small shops selling rouge, gouache and clay man's sugar paintings. Unfortunately, the business is not very good.
The street was clean, but there was also a thick layer of loess. The pedestrians or carriages passed by were filled with dust. Lanxi guessed that this should be the soil brought by horses after coming in from outside the city.
Looking at the surrounding buildings, they are basically wooden houses, with high and low buildings, and uneven houses in the Song Mansion are also wooden. It can be seen that bricks have not been invented or widely used at this time.
This is the best shopping street in Beijing that the third brother usually boasts about?
Overall, a little disappointed!
Lan Xi once again realized that after traveling through time, she had reached wealth and status that ordinary people could not reach, but she also lost the convenience and freedom that she once accustomed to.
Liu Yunyao had already made plans for today's trip. After the carriage stopped, Liu Yunyao walked in front with Lanxi in her arms. Lan Shu and Lan Jiu followed her and entered a silk shop where she was dowed by herself.
Unfortunately, Lanxi is not interested in fabrics or something at all, and she feels really bored.
After Liu Yunyao picked a few pieces of cloth and asked the shopkeeper to come to the door tomorrow to tailor the whole family. Then, she looked helplessly and pouted her mouth. Lan Xi, who had been impatient for a long time, was impatient.
"You are trying to come out to play, why are you out of patience just after you come out?"
"I don't think about it either, but it's really boring. Why don't you let me go home and touch my pearls!"
Lan Xi was a little disappointed. Even if she left the mansion, there was nothing fun. There were too few entertainment projects. No wonder everyone just wanted to hold a banquet all day long.
Isn’t this all idle?
Wanniang didn't care that Lan Xi insisted on taking everyone away.
After all, this shop belongs to someone else. No matter how much they buy, she can still make money from them.
"Madam, why not take the fourth lady to the Silver House for a walk. Princess Qin just opened the Jiabao Pavilion on Qian Street. It should be still lively!"
Lanxi is eager to try it out, there should be many people in the store that have just opened!
Liu Yunyao is also a person who loves children, and she brought them out just to have fun, so she naturally responded to them.
Anyway, the place was not far away, so the group turned to the next street.
Sure enough, this place is much more lively than before. Although it is not crowded, you can see pedestrians and vendors on the road everywhere.
Liu Yunyao and a few people came to the door, with a wooden plaque written in thick ink hanging above her head—
The treasure pavilion.
The red ribbon on the plaque has not been taken off yet, and it is obvious that the new store is opened.
As soon as Lanxi and the others stepped into the shop, a waiter wearing pink clothes came and led them to the private room with curved eyebrows and eyes.
The waiter poured tea for several people and asked them what kind of jewelry they wanted to see.
Lan Xi really wanted to learn from the playboy with a big wave of her hand and showed off her angrily: "Just put all the most expensive things in your store!"
But she is very self-aware. It is not her who has money but her mother. If she dares to play like this, she will immediately receive her mother's death sight.
"I don't know what new treasures are available in your store to open our eyes. If we happen to meet our eyes, we should make a profit from the treasure pavilion."
Although Liu Yunyao's performance was a little more tactful, the domineering in these words still made Lan Xi admire her so much that her eyes were filled with stars.
The third brother sneered, and he was really disgusted by Lan Xi's appearance that he had never seen the world.
"Da~"
Song Lanzhang snatched the paper fan that Song Lanjiu held in his hand and pretended to behave, knocked Song Lanjiu's forehead with the handle and comforted Lanxi.
"Xi'er, let me tell you if you like something later, I'll tell you. Brother will give you it."
In fact, Lan Xi didn't care. She had already figured out the tempers of several brothers and sisters. Song Lanjiu was just a stingy person, but also a kind of person with a sharp tongue and a stingy heart.
If she really likes something later, the third brother will definitely rush to pay for it, and he will be very upright.
Of course, the waiter also heard what Liu Yunyao said and happily stepped down to prepare. After a moment, she led the manager to come, followed by Yishui's waiter, each holding a tray covered with red cloth in his hands.
After the manager came in, he politely politely and praised them without any trace. Liu Yunyao beat him casually to avoid urging him to urge a few children to hold something worthless as treasures.
The manager raised his festive smile and turned around and ordered the waiters to lift the red lid of the tray.
The moment the red cover was lifted, Lan Xi felt that the originally ordinary small room seemed to have been filtered, and the entire space was illuminated by the jewelry on the pallet.
"If you don't close your mouth, your saliva will fall!" The third brother pinched Lan Xi's fat cheeks in disgust, and got her an angry little eye thorn.
After enjoying it for a while, Liu Yunyao took a look at a set of nodded faces. Lan Shu chose the earrings and jade hairpins in the shape of Mulan, while Lan Jiu left a jade pendant.
It just happened to be matched with his baby fan.
As for Lan Xi, what do you mean, she actually wants it all!
After much trouble, she chose a string of red coral bracelets of excellent quality. She put them on her hands on her hands on the spot, making her little hands look very festive and cute.
Lan Zhang didn't choose for himself, but instead chose a valuable set of jade ornaments for Lan Xi. Lan Jiu was unwilling to be compared by his elder brother, so he also gave him a pair of red-tailed Pisces jade pendants with childlike fun.
Both brothers gave it away, and Liu Yunyao and Lan Shu, who also loved their sister and daughter, would certainly not leave.
However, these two people did not blindly pursue value, but carefully helped Lanxi find some small items that were often used.
Chapter completed!
