Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 384
After Chu Ruifeng talked with Tie Mo'er Restaurant in detail for a while, the two separated and went back to their homes.At this time, Chu Ruifeng basically had a plan for what to do next.The next day, Chu Ruifeng ordered someone to send a letter to Qiaoyun in the other courtyard, telling Qiaoyun to live in peace for the time being, don't worry, and wait for him to arrange everything.

Qiao Yun received Chu Ruifeng's letter, and after reading the contents of the letter, she also let out a sigh of relief.Sure enough, this trip to Beijing was not as smooth as expected.Fortunately, the eldest princess and Ding Guogong both expressed their support, and fortunately they reminded Chu Ruifeng to calm down and do things.

"Chuntao, go clean up, let's go shopping." After reading the letter in her hand, Qiaoyun threw it into the charcoal basin and burned it, then clapped her hands and told Chuntao and others to prepare to go out.

Since she came to the capital, she couldn't stay in the other courtyard all the time, right?How boring that is.The last time they came out of Qijia Village and headed south all the way, although they also passed by the capital, they didn't dare to go in at all, so they took a detour.Now that she lives in the capital, she must take a look at what the capital of Daliao looks like, right?

Qiao Yun has always been optimistic about things, although she doesn't know the outcome of her marriage with Chu Ruifeng at this time, but based on her understanding of Chu Ruifeng, this person will definitely do everything possible to achieve his goal.Maybe the process will be slower, but the result will definitely not be wrong.

Since this is the case, she doesn't need to worry about eating and waiting all day long. It's better to be happy, eat and play.Go out for a walk, maybe you can meet some good things.

With such a thought, Qiaoyun of course refused to stay in the other courtyard, so she took Chuntao Xiahe and a few guards, and went shopping like this.After all, it is Kyoto, the most prosperous and prosperous place in the Liao Dynasty. Even this western city is full of prosperity.

Qiaoyun wanted to take a good look around the capital, so she didn't ask anyone to prepare a carriage, so she just strolled around.All the way from the west city to the most prosperous area in the city, this place is not too far from the palace.Originally, Qiaoyun still wanted to visit the imperial city, but she didn't want to be chased away by the guards before she got close, so she had to give up.

The prosperity of the capital is not comparable to that of Haining City.There are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are pedestrians coming and going. There are also some vendors setting up stalls on the side of the road, selling all kinds of small objects to support their families.

In the middle of winter, it was quite cold here in the capital, and pedestrians on the street covered themselves tightly.Rich people wear all kinds of big fur clothes, such as fox fur, otter fur, ermine, squirrel and so on.The brocade is used as the surface, and the soft fur is used as the lining. It is naturally very warm when worn on the body.

Those who are a little worse usually wear sheepskin and rabbit skin. The fabric and fur are much worse. Of course, they can also keep warm.There are also some worse ones, just wearing linen or Gebu clothes with kapok stuffed inside, and some cotton-padded jackets have patches on them.There are also some who don't even have cotton-padded clothes, and those in rags are shivering in the cold wind.

Especially those hawkers who set up stalls on the street, most of them were wearing very thin clothes, shaking their bodies while shouting with trembling voices.This is life, in order to make ends meet, one has to endure hunger and hunger.Seeing such a situation, Qiao Yun couldn't help sighing, this is still the imperial capital, and there are still so many people suffering from hunger and cold at the feet of the emperor.It is conceivable that in other places, an unknown number of people are suffering.

I don't know when cotton will be popularized in Daliao. With this kind of relatively cheap textile material, maybe it will have some changes in the lives of the people?At least, these hawkers in front of them should all be able to make a cotton coat, so they won't suffer in the cold wind like they are at this moment.

If she wants to popularize cotton, it is definitely not enough to rely on her alone. If the government and the court can participate, it will be much faster.What Qiaoyun hopes most at the moment is that Chu Ruifeng can find a way to speed up the popularization and promotion of cotton.

"Girl, what are you looking at? There are a lot of pedestrians and horses on this street, but please be careful not to distract yourself." Chuntao felt strange when she saw Qiaoyun standing there in a daze, so she stretched out her hand to tug at Qiaoyun, and reminded .

Only then did Qiao Yun come back to her senses, it turned out that she was too focused on things and stood there refusing to leave. "It's okay, I just saw those people wearing thin clothes, and I feel pitiful for them." Qiaoyun smiled, and followed Chuntao to the side.

"Yes, there are so many poor people in the imperial capital. It's really unexpected. Girl, why do I feel that there seem to be more poor people on this street than in Haining Prefecture? Look, there are still beggars over there. " Xia He was beside Qiaoyun, looking at those people around, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

Hearing this, Qiao Yun couldn't help but let out a long sigh.Seventy-eight out of ten of the fertile fields near the capital were taken up by the nobles of Daliao to graze horses and sheep. The common people had no land to cultivate, so they could only go to the city to make a living.Those who are capable can do a small business, while those who are incapable either sell themselves into slavery or beg along the street.

Although Haining is a small town, its life depends on shipping, and there are jobs on the docks all year round.Those strong and strong men still have a place to make money.So in comparison, there are more beggars in the capital.

Of course, it's hard to say these things cleverly, who knows who is the court's eyeliner in this public place?If you say the wrong thing, wouldn't it cause trouble? "Let's go, let's look forward. There are so many poor people. Even if we are interested, we may not be able to help them. It's better not to cause trouble."

Before Qiao Yun finished speaking, she suddenly heard a commotion and screams from the crowd.The sudden abnormality made Qiaoyun vigilant, and looked up in the direction of the noise, but in the end, he saw a frightening scene.

I don't know who it is, but they galloped wildly in the downtown area. Obviously, the person on the horse didn't care about the lives of the people at all, and just kept urging the horse.Passers-by may also be used to such a scene, so they quickly avoid it from a distance.But it was just a coincidence, at this moment, a little baby who appeared out of nowhere ran from the side of the road to the center.

Xiaowa's mother also found out about this situation, and she fainted from fright at that time, and the people around even let out bursts of exclamation and sighs.It's over, how old is that child?But he looks like two or three years old, if he is hit by a horse, he will only die.Seeing the bay red horse galloping towards them, everyone closed their eyes, not daring to look at the human tragedy in front of them.

However, after waiting for a long time, they didn't hear the child's screams. Everyone couldn't help being a little surprised, and quickly opened their eyes to look ahead.It turned out that the bay red horse had been dragged by someone.And that little baby, just one step away from the bay red horse, was holding a wooden ball in his hand, smiling very happily.
