The winter in the north comes earlier than in the south. [Although it was late October, the weather in Beijing was very cold, with the north wind swaying, and there was a biting coldness, and the streets and alleys were covered with fallen leaves
People also changed into thick cotton coats. However, the bustling and lively Beijing has not changed due to changes in climate, but it is better than before.
At this time, the Chinese army occupied Beijing for nearly eight months, and the living order in Beijing had been completely restored. Due to the strict military discipline of the Chinese army, it was completely unscrupulous. At the same time, the privileges of the Manchus were abolished, and there were fewer fewer people.
Many evil slaves and playboys were involved in Beijing, and they were rampant, so their social life was more stable. Moreover, the Manchus were dressed and the followers were restored to their freedom of life, and they also ran away or were born by the Manchus.
The nobles held the people who came to Liaodong and returned to Beijing to settle down one after another. This ancient city is slowly regaining its vitality.
In addition, the north-south transportation that has been cut off for more than ten years has also reopened. The south's rice, sugar and other foods, as well as silk, cotton cloth, porcelain, glass and other goods have been transported to Beijing through canals and sea routes, not only providing Beijing with
It also promoted the economic recovery of Beijing, and the number of stores buying and selling more and more, and the business of restaurants and tiles is becoming increasingly prosperous. Although it has not yet reached its peak in Beijing, it has been in the past decade for nearly ten years.
It's a very good situation.
Of course, all this was a change that occurred after the Chinese army captured Beijing. Therefore, the people in Beijing were very welcome to the rule of the Chinese Empire and Shang Yi’s inspection in Beijing. As the New Year gradually approached, many Beijingers also hoped that
After experiencing three or four bleak New Years in a row, Beijing City can finally usher in a lively and festive traditional New Year.
At this time, on the avenue of Yaer Hutong by Shicha Beach in Beijing, a gorgeously decorated four-wheeled carriage led by two tall brown horses was driving. On the front and back sides of the carriage, there were still twenty or thirty or thirty on the front and rear sides of the carriage.
Yu Ming rode a horse and whip it, and each of them was guarding his subordinates with swords and swords.
For hundreds of years, Beijing has been under the feet of the emperor, the capital of the great country, the many dignitaries, the kings, generals and ministers, so the people in Beijing have naturally seen more worlds than those in other places, and most of them have mastered them.
After observing the beauty, you can tell at a glance that it is a travel team of a wealthy and noble family. Therefore, there is no need to drive it away, so you can automatically avoid both sides of the road.
At the same time, it also caused many people to stop and watch sideways, and they talked about "This is the carriage of that family". "The horses pulling the carriage are so big, they are so grand." "I think such a good carriage is at least one
Beile's family" "What Beile, now it's all the Chinese Empire, and there are Beile. I think it's either Hou or Prince."
Because after the fall of the Qing court, the privileges of the Manchus were abolished, and the old group of powerful people had long disappeared, while a new group of powerful people was still in the process of forming. The people of Beijing still need time to familiarize themselves with the new changes and patterns in Beijing.
.
In fact, the speed of the carriage and horses was not fast. After walking past the gate of Guanghua Temple, they stopped in front of a silk shop. The knights dismounted and stationed in front of the silk shop. A knight came to the side of the car.
, said, "Madam, I've arrived."
As soon as the words fell, the car door opened. First, two women got out of the car, followed by a young woman wearing a gorilla red cloak and a felt hat, although she was just wearing a veil on the felt hat.
Not sure about her appearance and age, but it also makes people feel graceful and noble. Beside her, there is a little girl wearing a big red cotton jacket and a tiger-skin hat. She looks like she is only four or five years old.
.
After getting off the bus, the young woman glanced at the shop and said to the guards: "Thank you for your hard work." As she said that, she stepped onto the steps of the silk shop.
The shopkeepers and clerks in the silk shop were all with a wink. When they saw this rack, they knew that the people who came were definitely not ordinary people. The shopkeeper and two clerks hurriedly came out. The shopkeeper bowed to the young woman and bowed to the woman.
With a smile on his face, he said, "This lady is really welcome to visit the shop. Please come in, please come in."
The young woman led the girl and walked into the satin shop with the shopkeeper. Two waiters followed her, and eight guards accompanied her into the satin shop together. And there were already a friend preparing for the shop.
After the table and chairs were ready, there was a layer of chair cushion on the chair, so she was asked to sit down.
The shopkeeper said respectfully: "Mrs. I don't know what I want when I come to the shop. It's not a villain who boasts that in this Beijing city, the shop's silk is definitely one of the best. If it's a small shop..."
Before he could finish his words, he ran away from the curtain of the inner room and a maid came out and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, you need not say anything. Auntie comes out and asks this lady to speak in the inner room."
After hearing this, the young woman also smiled and said, "It seems that I don't need to explain my purpose."
As she said that, she stood up, and the two waited girls came over immediately, helped her untied her cloak and felt hat, revealing the light orange-red long gauze dress she was wearing, and the coat rose red brocade robe, and an orange-red
The section belt is surrounded by the waist, with a piece of high-quality Hotan jade inlaid in the middle. On the left side of the section belt, it is also wearing a high-quality glass jade pendant, which is hung around the waist.
The shopkeeper and the clerk saw the young woman's appearance at this time. She was about twenty years old, with clear silk and ink, clouds, a golden bead-inlaid stone phoenix hairpin, and her eyebrows were like willow leaves.
The eyes are as autumn water, the mouth of the lotus, the skin is as beautiful as snow, and the appearance is very beautiful, especially the noble and elegant charm of her body, although it makes people feel dwarfed, but it is not difficult to get close to, and it naturally reveals a sense of intimacy.
Her kind temperament makes people feel willing to get close to her. The shopkeeper and the guys were stunned.
Then the girl saluted the young woman and said, "Madam, please come with me."
The young woman nodded slightly and said, "I'm sorry for you." She turned around and said to the two women and guards, "You're waiting here." After that, she led the little girl and followed the women in.
Arrive in the inner room.
After their figures disappeared into the inner room, the guy woke up like a dream and whispered to the shopkeeper: "My God, this is the woman who came. I thought there was no better woman in this world than an aunt.
I didn’t expect that she was a little more touching than the aunt. It would be enough to meet her every day. It seems that the aunt knows her?"
The shopkeeper took a snatch on his head and said, "Speak quietly, beware of being heard. Can such a woman be an ordinary person?" He looked at the guard standing outside and said, "If you are being
When people hear it, you still want to be fooled by your life."
When the girl led the young woman and the girl into the inner room, she stopped at the door of a room and said, "Madam, please come in, the aunt is waiting inside?"
The young woman led the girl into the house and saw a woman in a purple dress sitting upright at an Eight Immortals table. The young woman smiled and said, "Sister Linglong, we are meeting again."
The purple-clothed girl smiled bitterly and said, "Yao Wang, what are you doing when you have reached this point?"
The young woman who visited was Ye Yaoying. The little girl she brought was naturally her daughter Shangguan, and the woman in the silk forging shop was of course Zi Linglong.
Hearing Zi Linglong's slightly sad tone, Ye Yaoying smiled and said, "Why can I not come to see my sister when I know that Linglong is here? It has been almost six years since the last time I met.
”
Zi Linglong sighed and said, "I knew I could not escape the second uncle, let's sit down." He picked up the teapot, poured a teacup for Ye Yaoyan, and said, "This is the freshly brewed Biluochun,
I heard you were coming, so I took it out.”
As he said that, Ye Yaoying came to the Eight Immortals table, sat down opposite her, and smiled and said, "I'm working hard for my sister." He said to Shang Wan again, "Wan'er, call me Aunt Zi."
Shang Wan said: "Aunt Zi."
When Zi Linglong saw Xiao Shang Wan, she smiled and said, "Is this you and his daughter? They are all so old, what's the name? How old are they?"
Ye Yaoying smiled slightly and said, "Yes, her name is Wan'er, she has passed by five years old."
Zi Linglong waved to Shang Wan and said, "Come here, Aunt Zi will take a good look at you."
At Ye Yaoying's sign, Shang Wan walked to Zi Linglong's side. Zi Linglong pulled Shang Wan, looked up and down, and sighed: "It's exactly the same as you did back then. When we met, you were just Wan'er.
At this age." As he said that, he picked Shang Wan up, sat on his lap, took off a jade bracelet from his wrist, and said, "Wan'er, this jade bracelet was taken by Aunt Zi since she was a child, so I'll give it to you
I've given it to you."
Shang Wan looked at the jade bracelet and looked back at her mother. Ye Yaoyan smiled and said, "Aunt Zi gave you a gift, please continue."
Shang Guan then took the jade bracelet and said, "Thank you Aunt Zi." Then he kissed Zi Linglong's cheek.
In fact, this was taught by Rialisandra in the palace, and used kisses to express her closeness or gratitude to others. Everyone else liked to buy cuteness in Shangguan. In addition, she was still young, so she did not stop her.
Today I naturally used Zi Linglong.
Zi Linglong was also very excited. Although she was older than Ye Yaoyang, she still had no choice but to be allowed. Because Shang Wan is Ye Yaoyang's daughter, Zi Linglong's heart also instinctively developed a good impression of her.
After Shang Wan expressed her closeness to her, Zi Linglong couldn't help but feel a sense of love for her. She hugged Shang Wan in her arms, and kissed her little face a few times, saying, "What a cute child."
.”
Then he looked at Ye Yaoying and said, "When we met last time, you didn't have children yet. I didn't expect that Wan'er is so old now, and time really passes too quickly." As he said, Zi
Linglong put down Shang Wan and said, "I'm just talking, let's have a tea, don't worry, I haven't been drunk for a hundred days in the tea."
Ye Yaoying picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled and said, "Does sister still be upset about what happened last time?"
Zi Linglong glared at her and said, "Can you forget it? That time I thought you had fallen into my trap, but I had actually been plotted against by you."
