peasant girl wedding

Chapter 228 Gifts
This girl was born with delicate features and well-behaved manners, she was exactly as Madam described, she did not look like a peasant girl, but a lady from a rich family.

Even Ji Changdang felt somewhat satisfied with Tong Zhi'er.

After Tong Zhi'er packed his luggage, Tong Zhu'er followed suit.

Tong Zhixin said, "Master, please come inside."

Ji Chang and the eldest lady followed Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei into the house, Ji Li glanced at Tong Zhi'er, and then followed.

"Master Tong, you are in Qingzhou, I thought we could only meet once when the two children got married, so it would be better now." Ji Chang said with a smile.

Tong Zhixin also laughed, "Yes."

"I don't know if you two will leave after staying in the capital for a few days, or do you have other arrangements?" asked the eldest lady.

Fang Cui smiled and said, "We plan to stay for a month, deal with other things before leaving."

The eldest lady smiled, "That's good. In this way, our two families don't have to go back and forth to the capital and Qingzhou to discuss the details of the wedding."

The four of them talked for a while, the eldest lady and Fang Cuiwei agreed on a date, and Ji Li said: "Uncle, Aunt, I have prepared a banquet in the restaurant, and the time is up now, let's go there."

"Yes, you have come from afar, we will catch up with you and wash you off."

They were all very warm and polite, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei didn't refuse much, and the two families went to the restaurant.

The restaurants in the capital are large and grand, full of customers.

There are especially many people who come to eat at this time.

If Ji Li hadn't booked a private room, he wouldn't be able to find a place to sit now.

The second brother enthusiastically welcomed Ji Li and the others to the second floor, and quickly brought tea over.

After a while, more than a dozen dishes were on the table.

Tong Zhixin and the others were a bit cautious at first, but the Duke of the State was very cheerful. Later, under his influence, Tong Zhixin gradually let go, and there were chatter and laughs at the dinner table.

Ji Chang asked about some business matters.

After dinner, Ji Chang and the eldest lady got into the carriage, and Ji Li sent Tong Zhixin's family back home.

"Thank you for today."

After Tong Zhixin, Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhu'er entered the mansion, Tong Zhi'er said to Ji Li with a smile.

Ji Li smiled and said "hmm".

The two of them didn't say anything, they just watched.

After a while, Tong Zhi'er remembered something and said, "I heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to give you a marriage?"

"Ah."

"Then what did you say to me?"

When Ji Li was working in her family's shop, he didn't realize that this kid was interested in her, did he?

"Ah."

Tong Zhier frowned, what does "um" mean?Couldn't he have responded in a different way?
"It's getting late, you should go back early and rest, I'll come back tomorrow."

Tong Zhier shook his head, "No need."

Ji Li didn't speak, but gestured.

A young man came over leading the horse.

Ji Li got on his horse, glanced at Tong Zhi'er, and rode away.

Tong Zhi'er sighed, turned and went back into the house.

Who cares, no matter what the reason is, she still wants to marry after all, so don't think about it so much.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Tong Zhixin and his party set off.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a carriage was waiting outside.

A young servant came over with a smile, and said, "Master Tong, Mrs. Tong, and the two young ladies, get in the car. The young one was ordered by the prince, and I will take a few of you for a stroll in the capital today."

"There is a son of labor."

Tong Zhixin said to the boy with a smile.

The boy touched his head and stepped aside.

The four got into the carriage, and the servant sat on the shaft, directing the driver to go forward.

"Master Tong, Mrs. Tong, the two ladies, where do you want to go?"

"Go to the rouge shop first."

Tong Zhier said.

When they went out, they discussed it. Tong Zhuer wanted to see Mrs. Qingyan, that is, her master. Mrs. Qingyan liked rouge, and Tong Zhuer planned to buy some new rouge and go to Liu's residence.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei didn't have anything in particular to buy, and Tong Zhi'er was the same. After coming out of the rouge shop, they planned to stroll around the capital to get acquainted.

When they came, they brought some gifts from Qingzhou, and now they don't need to prepare deliberately.

The servant responded and told the coachman to go to the largest rouge shop in the capital.

It was early in the morning, and today was not a special holiday. There were not many people on the street, and the carriage was smooth and helpless, and it didn't take much effort to stop.

The carriage started from the door of the house and stopped at Rouge Shop. Tong Zhi'er looked at it along the way, and it was only three streets away, not far away.

Tong Zhixin, Fang Cuiwei, Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er got off the carriage.

The boy and the driver parked the carriage in a hidden place and waited quietly.

"Several guest officers, do you know what you want to buy?"

As soon as he entered the door, a woman walked over with a smile.

Tong Zhi'er asked, "What do you have in your shop?"

"We have powders, rouges, and flower juices for nails in our shop."

Tong Zhu'er's eyes widened, "What is incense powder?"

The woman explained: "Fragrant powder is sprinkled on the body to increase the fragrance."

"Can I take a look?"

The woman nodded, and asked Tong Zhu'er to follow her inside, and took a box of face powder, "That's it."

Tong Zhu'er was a little excited, "Can I try?"

"This... Miss, the cost of the fragrance powder is high, so I won't allow you to try it. But I assure you, our fragrance powder will definitely increase the fragrance and make the girl more radiant when you use it on your body."

As soon as she couldn't try it, and it seemed a little expensive, Tong Zhu'er put down the powder.

The woman was not annoyed when she saw this, but her attitude towards the few people became lighter.

When Tong Zhu'er said that she wanted to buy rouge, she just brought her there and ignored it.

"Second sister, this person is really powerful..."

Tong Zhu'er whispered in Tong Zhi'er's ear.

Tong Zhi'er smiled, "Don't worry, Tong Zhu'er, what kind of rouge does your master like?"

"Oh, Master likes rouge with orchid fragrance."

Tong Zhi'er looked at it, picked out a box of apricot-colored ones and showed it to Tong Zhu'er, "How about this one?"

"Is the color too tender?"

"can you?"

Tong Zhuer nodded.

Tong Zhi'er put down the rouge, and picked up a box of pomegranate red and a box of rose red in his hand.

"What about these two?"

Tong Zhu'er pointed to the pomegranate red one, "I want this."

Tong Zhi'er put down the other box, picked one for herself, one for Tong Zhu'er, one for Fang Cuiwei, then Tong Duo'er, Zhou Yunniang, Tong Hua'er, and Fang Ruyan.

When Tong Zhu'er turned around, she was startled when she saw that she had taken so much, "Second Sister, why did you take so much?"

"Mine, yours, mother's, big sister's and the others, since they all come to the rouge shop, I'll buy a box for each of them."

"Well, thank you, Second Sister."

Tong Zhu'er said happily.

Suspiciously, the woman brought Tong Zhi'er to the checkout counter. All these rouges were worth the same price as face powder. Aren't they out of money?

However, when Tong Zhi'er took out a 50 tael banknote from his pocket, a smile blossomed on the woman's face.

Coming out of the rouge shop, the servant quickly drove over in a carriage.

Tong Zhi'er put the rouge box on the carriage, and asked him where there was a place that sold colored paper, and it was not too far away, just across the street, so he walked there.

"Second Sister, what are you doing buying colored paper?"

Tong Zhi'er smiled, "You will know when you go back."

After selling the colored paper, the four of them went back to the carriage and put down their things. The servant told the coachman to wait in another place, and led Tong Zhixin and the four of them to stroll around.

The capital city is huge, and they only visited a small place after a day of shopping.

There was a lot of time around them, so the servant took a few of them back to the house.

Once back in the house, Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin went to the kitchen.

Lady Wu saw the two coming, and stepped forward to say hello.

When she saw Fang Cuiwei rolled up his sleeves to wash and chop vegetables, and Tong Zhixin was going to chop firewood in the yard, Madam Wu became a little restless.

"Master, Ma'am, please rest, I'm here."

"It's okay, I'll make dinner myself, you can go somewhere else."

"Huh? Oh, that woman, I'm busy with other things."

Lady Wu came out of the kitchen, walked through the backyard, and entered the wing on the right.

"Come in."

Hearing the response from inside, Miss Wu put down her hand and pushed the door open.

"Second Miss, Third Miss."

Tong Zhi'er turned around and said, "Miss Wu, what's the matter?"

"Second brother-in-law, madam and master are in the kitchen, after this..."

Looking at the attitudes of Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei, Miss Wu is also a little unsure if they have been like this for a long time.

When they came, the prince told them to serve them well. The prince was kind to their family, and they dared not disobey his orders.

Tong Zhi'er smiled, "I see, Mrs. Wu, you go and do other things first."

"Yes, second lady."

Miss Wu turned around and went out, closing the door softly.

Tong Zhu'er watched Tong Zhi'er wrap a rouge box with colored paper, then took a ribbon to write a cross on the box, and finally tied a beautiful bow tie, she couldn't help but picked it up, and said: It's strange that the second sister wants to buy colored paper back, and it will look better after doing it this way."

Tong Zhi'er smiled, "Yes."

Tong Zhi'er thought of this after buying something at the Rouge Shop and just wrapping it in a piece of cloth that looked more upscale.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Tong Zhi'er's mind, maybe she could set up a gift wrapping shop.

Tomorrow, I will go to various shops in the capital to see how there is room for development.

"Second sister, teach me how to pack."

Tong Zhu'er took a piece of colored paper, her eyes glowing eagerly.

The packaging is very simple. Tong Zhu'er watched Tong Zhi'er's demonstration before, and now she did it again, so she has learned it, but the packaging is not very smooth.

After wrapping the rouge box, Tong Zhi'er took Ming'er and Tong Zhu'er's gift to Liu's residence and packed it together.

After they finished all this, Fang Cuiwei's dinner was almost ready.
