Chapter 174
It's just that Jiang Mei and Xiao Xin kept talking, discussing what to eat, and didn't pay attention.

The next day, they changed into their own clothes. The clothes Jiang Mei brought from home were not very good, and she always wanted to keep a low profile.

But Xiao Xin and Xiao Qin's own clothes are obviously too low-class.It's just a very ordinary coarse cotton padded jacket, without any style, but fortunately there are no patches, which is better than keeping warm.

Seeing this, Jiang Mei felt sorry for their birth. Unlike her situation, they came to serve as slaves because their families were really poor.

They got up early in the morning, and Jiang Mei went out with a veiled hat. They were not qualified to enter and exit through the main entrance, so they could only go out through the corner door in the backyard.

They took the entrance and exit signs, and after going out, Xiao Xin led the way all the way.

Jiang Mei pulled Xiao Xin and asked, "How long do we have to go?"

"It won't take long, at most two quarters of an hour." Thinking that there is delicious food not far away, Xiao Xin felt that it was close at hand.

They had already walked a lot just after they left the Prince's Mansion, and Jiang Mei felt that it was a bit strenuous for her to walk.

Although working in the Prince's Mansion these days is considered a bit of exercise, she was born as a young lady after all.

Although the Jiang family is not visible, there are carriages everywhere.It can be regarded as being pampered and raised, how could there be a chance to walk so many roads.

Xiao Xin is careless, she can't see Jiang Mei's discomfort, but Xiao Qin can see that Jiang Mei doesn't seem to want to leave anymore, she thinks Jiang Mei is coquettish, a slave gave birth to a young lady.

But he said: "If you can't walk, you can sit in an ox cart later."

Xiao Xin turned to look at Jiang Mei in surprise, and asked curiously, "Is your foot hurting and you can't walk?"

Jiang Mei nodded slightly.

Xiaoqin thought, she is different from them after all.

So the three of them waited for a while, there would be a cart at the back of the ox cart, with two rows of wooden benches on both sides of the cart, where people could sit and goods could be pulled in the middle.

Those who don't want to walk can take a bullock cart.They are all for the poor, and people with a little wealth have their own carriages
Xiaoqin hired an ox cart and went to the market for three coins. Xiaoxin and Xiaoqin were reluctant, thinking that the ox cart was going slowly, so they followed suit.

Jiang Mei, however, counted nine coins to the ox cart driver and said, "There are three of us."

The uncle didn't know anything, seeing Jiang Mei dressed well, the one with the veiled hat, and the other two not well dressed, I thought I could still attract a young lady today.

The uncle said happily: "Miss, please get in the car."

Seeing that Xiao Xin and Xiao Qin were still in a daze, he said to them: "Come on, two girls, your lady has already paid you, come up and let's go."

Jiang Mei was embarrassed to hear that, and hurriedly said: "They are not girls, we are sisters."

Xiaoqin and Xiaoxin were also a little embarrassed, Xiaoxin was still big-hearted and didn't care about getting on the cart, but Xiaoqin felt uncomfortable.

Ordinary people can see the gap between them at a glance. Although it is true, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

"I'll give you the money for the ride later."

Jiang Mei looked at Xiaoqin in surprise and said, "Why, can't I invite you to take a car? It's because I'm useless and unable to walk. You are accompanying me, so of course I have to pay for it."

Xiaoqin touched the dozen or so coins in her purse, and there were still eight days before the payment, she couldn't get angry again, so she didn't speak any more.

He just said, "Then what gift do you want to buy for your sister?"

She thought, if she spends her money, she should really treat it as being with her, and she should always help her with the important things first, how can she really only think about eating like Xiao Xin.

She thought about it for a while, in fact, Jiang Yu didn't need anything in the Qin residence, she just wanted to do her best to be a sister, and she must give her a gift to celebrate her birthday.At least let her not worry, she can still give her a gift conditionally.

"Go and choose a pair of earrings, and choose two pieces of cloth that are popular in Beijing for her."

They took her to a silver jewelry shop. In their opinion, silver jewelry was already very expensive.

They can't even afford silver jewelry.

Jiang Mei wanted to say that she couldn't go in here, but they looked in at the door, a little timidly, just like when they entered the Golden Thread Pavilion.

She made up her mind and said: "Let's go in and have a look. I will trouble you to help me choose later. I will use it as a reference for what you like."

There is no woman who doesn't like jewelry. They are shy in their pockets, but now they can go in and choose openly, and they feel very happy.

Jiang Mei just looked at it casually, of course she didn't plan to buy silver jewelry for Jiang Grae.

Xiao Xin picked for a long time, pointed to a pair of cloves and said, this one is good, small and exquisite, and the shape is beautiful.

Jiang Mei took a look, and found that Xiao Xin's earlobes were very small, which suited her quite well.

She said to the shopkeeper, "Please pack this pair up."

Xiao Xin looked excitedly and said, "Really? Ji Jiang, you like what I picked? Let me just say I have a good eye."

Jiang Mei asked Xiaoqin again: "Xiaoqin, which one do you like?"

Xiaoqin thought that Jiang Mei had already chosen Xiaoxin's choice. Although she liked the ones, but Jiang Mei originally said to buy a pair, why should she say any more, and said, "No."

Jiang Mei knew that Xiaoqin had strong self-esteem, so she pointed to the pair of leaf-shaped earrings that her eyes had been lingering on just now.It is different from the earrings Xiao Xin chose, it is a thin silver thread with two thin small silver leaves falling below it.

In the end Jiang Mei bought these two pairs of earrings, because they were very light, and the two pairs only cost [-] yuan. She put them in the purse that Jiang Miao gave her and said to them, "Is there a gold shop near here?"

Xiao Xin opened his mouth wide and asked, "What do you do in Jinjindian?"

"Of course I'm buying earrings."

"But didn't you just now?"

"It was chosen by you just now, I haven't chosen yet."

No matter how expensive or not my sister's gift is, it is more sincere to choose it myself.

When they were in the gold store, Xiao Xin and Xiao Qin were reluctant to go in, so Jiang Mei had to go in and choose by herself.

She had money on her, and when she left, Mrs. Qiu specially sewed a small cloth bag, which was just big enough to hold the folded bank notes. Mrs. Qiu gave her two 100 taels and two 50 taels.In addition, grandmother Tang also gave her 200 taels of silver notes.

There are also a large handful of gold beads and pearls that Jiang Grace gave her, and some accessories.She is not short of money, but she can't reveal it to others. She has always known the truth of the crime of being pregnant, and so is her appearance, and so is her money.

Today she only took out a 50 taels and a few taels of silver.

It took more than a dozen taels of silver to buy earrings for Jiang E, and they went to the cloth shop again.In addition to the cloth Jiang E chose, Jiang Mei also chose a piece of cloth for each member of the family, but none of them were too expensive.

She knew in her heart that the money spent was all given by her family, and she bought some popular colors and materials in the capital to make them happy, as long as she knew her situation was okay.Tell them too that she's thinking of them.

She wants to bring other gifts to everyone after she earns her own money in the future.

So, after they finished their shopping, they found a consignment package and attached a letter.

Their mission today is complete.

"Aren't you hungry? It's been a hard day for you today. Let's go, let's go eat."
