Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 150
As the capital city, the capital is indeed much more prosperous than other cities. The flat and spacious main street can accommodate eight carriages in parallel. These people look more decent in their clothes than the common people in other places, and their spirits are also fuller. , the small vendors on both sides of the street set up their small stalls neatly without being messy, and the architectural styles of other shops are also unique, many of which are eye-catching.

Luo Jinxiu, the Zhou family, the Wu family and Yan Jingshu's four female relatives rode in a carriage, and Yun Jinghao and the others rode horses. When they passed by some shops, several people who were the hosts introduced them, for example, the quality of the jade articles sold in this jade shop. It's especially good. Every once in a while, a batch of rough stones will be shipped back specially for the nobles who prefer jade to guess the stone. Occasionally, some ordinary people will buy a small piece of leftovers to guess the good quality jade and get rich overnight. People go bankrupt and are still addicted to it.

The real nobles play it purely for fun, and it is a pastime if they lose money or make money, and they don't care about spending a lot of money.

For another example, even the ladies in the palace will send people to buy the dim sum from this pastry shop from time to time. There are also special dim sum sold in limited quantities every day. The owner is an old prince of the clan, with a strong background, no one can rely on his power to force the shop to do it for them again.

Also, which kinds of food in this restaurant are considered to be the best in the capital, how many servings are sold every day is still the one with the highest price, and sometimes a dish can be sold at a sky-high price of hundreds of taels.

There is also the rouge shop, which was the most popular place before the "Jin Kee" rouge was popular among the noble girls in Beijing. Unfortunately, the business has dropped by at least [-]% now. If it weren't for the recent use of the body balm saved by all the women's family members , can only settle for the next best thing, this ratio will definitely go down, and the owner of the Rouge Shop secretly knows how to deal with Zha Luo Jinxiu's villain.

Luo Jinxiu listened with gusto, and by the way, also wrote down the name of the rouge shop that might become a competitor in the future, and her future women's makeup shop as a strong rival.

After walking away talking and laughing for about half an hour, the group arrived at the first destination, Baihuayuan.

Baihuayuan is one of the most famous elegant gardens in the capital. There are all kinds of precious flowers and plants in it. It is divided into four areas according to the four seasons. They are located in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and the central area is reserved for viewing flowers. resting place for tourists.

Baihuayuan only opens one yard in each season, and it is autumn now, so all they can enjoy is the view of the autumn garden.

Yan Jinghong's wife, Mrs. Zhou, led Luo Jinxiu to walk inside. Yun Jinghao and other men walked behind them, listening to her explain with a smile: "The Baihua Garden was built by the founding emperor, the Empress Yuan, and it is of great significance. The flowers and plants are also extremely precious. In order to prevent ordinary people from losing their sense of propriety and accidentally damaging the flowers and plants and cannot compensate, the Baihua Garden basically only receives the family members of high-ranking officials and dignitaries on weekdays. Only the annual Hundred Flowers Festival will be open to the people of the whole city. On the third day, the Hundred Flowers Festival happens to be in the alternating seasons of spring and summer, at that time the Spring Garden and the Summer Garden will be open together, and there are many blooming flowers in both gardens, and the scenery is very charming."

Yan Jingshucai added: "Princes and princesses in the palace sometimes come here to enjoy the scenery. They all say that the scenery of Baihuayuan can be compared with the imperial garden in the palace. We will meet at least once every year after the season changes. Jing, I will definitely not disappoint you, cousin sister-in-law."

While they were talking, the group of people had already come to the Qiuyuan, and before entering the garden, Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu could already smell the pleasant fragrance of flowers wafting out with the autumn wind.

The scents she can identify are probably chrysanthemum, osmanthus, begonia, lotus, etc. For the rest, all kinds of floral scents are mixed together. She doesn't know much about flowers, so she can't smell more.

After actually entering the Autumn Garden, Luo Jinxiu could see clearly how many flowers there were inside. As far as he could see, there were all kinds of colorful flowers, red, green, yellow, and flowers of various colors blooming in the entire garden one by one.

Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Wu and others went inside and introduced to her, "There are rosemary, chrysanthemum, mirabilis, daylily, anthurium, phalaenopsis, cyclamen, canna, osmanthus, begonia, Hibiscus, hibiscus, pagoda japonica... and there are many aquatic flowers in the pond over there, such as lotus and water lily."

There are several different colors of the same species of flowers, and the people who manage the Baihua Garden deliberately plant flowers with similar colors together, so although the dozens of types of flowers here sound like a lot, they are It doesn't look particularly colorful and messy, but has an indescribably shocking beauty.

There was no one who came to view flowers for the first time who was not amazed by the rare beauty, including Yun Jinghao, who had no feeling for these sights that only women were interested in, his eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Looking at the expression of his daughter-in-law who was completely attracted by the scenery in front of him, he recalled that they had planted some fruit trees in their own yard and vegetables in the vegetable garden, but it seemed that there were not many flowers and so on.

Even if people in the country have a large yard and can grow a lot of things, most of them are practical, not these flashy things that have no other use except for viewing. To put it bluntly, they are all for the enjoyment of rich people. In other words, it's just a matter of cultivating sentiment. Farmers are busy farming all day long, and when they have their own careers, they are also busy going to the workshop and the security hall. Who would have thought that she would be interested in these things in the first place.

Yun Jinghao was thinking secretly that when he got home, he would grow some beautiful flowers and plants for his wife in the open space in the yard.

The beautiful scenery in the autumn garden made Luo Jinxiu unable to speak for a while, and she insisted on using one sentence, one word to describe her feelings at this time, and it would probably be - too beautiful to behold.

Even so, because the Zhou family also said before that only dignitaries and dignitaries are eligible to enter and exit here, the huge garden is not as crowded as many modern tourist places, and it is more embarrassing to see people than to see the scenery. In addition to their group, there are only three or five groups of people who gather in twos and threes to enjoy the flowers and laugh.

Looking at the clothes they were wearing, the maids and servants who accompanied them, and even the unconscious arrogance in the corners of their eyes and brows when they talked, one could guess that those people must be from famous families with high status, the second generation of officials and the third generation of officials, right? .

There are more people in the Duke's Mansion than in the other waves, and it is inevitable that they have attracted the attention of those people not long after they came in.

The presence of the Duke’s Mansion in the capital is quite high, and the faces of Yan Jingcheng, Yan Jingyu and others are familiar to the juniors of the various families. It is very strange to see them coming to Baihuayuan to enjoy the scenery.

It's fine for the female relatives to come, most of the men in the Duke's Mansion don't like these romantic affairs, why is it such a wind blowing today, so many people come here?
"Huh? There are two new faces among them that I have never seen before. Whose family are they?" Among the few people not far from Yun Jinghao and the others, a young man frowned slightly, looking at Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu's eyes full of exploration.

Others also noticed the striking two unfamiliar faces among the group of people. The children from various families in Beijing knew each other well, but they could recognize each other. But they looked around at the people around them. One can recognize those two people, but they are still surrounded by several children of the Duke's mansion, and they look like they are very concerned.

This is strange.

Yan Jingcheng and the others don't like to hang out with dudes who only know how to have fun all day long, and the female relatives don't like to compare themselves with other noble girls. It is very cold, and it is also in the circle of the rich and powerful. In terms of background, except for the prince and princess, the people at the top of the pyramid are talking and laughing with two strangers. How can we not let them be surprised and have a strong interest.

And at this moment, a well-informed person suddenly said: "Didn't you hear that Yan Jingcheng would go to the gate of the city to guard every day?"

"I also know about this." The young man who was wearing a green brocade robe next to him squinted his eyes and said with a hint of arrogance: "You have forgotten, didn't you say that the beloved daughter of the old Duke who disappeared in the Duke's mansion had Got any news?"

"That's right! It seems that he has been dead for many years, but he left behind a son. Could it be..."

"In the past few days, not only Yan Jingcheng has been guarding the city gate, but the people from the Duke's Mansion have also stayed in the mansion and pushed away all the guests who came to visit, as if they were waiting for someone."

"Could those two be left behind by the old country's father and daughter?"

"It's not that there is only one son, why two people?"

"Stupid you, look at that man's age, he has already married a wife, and the woman is probably his wife."

The young man in green robe looked at Yun Jinghao who was not far away and said: "I heard my mother and the others accidentally said that this person was born in a remote small village, and he didn't even know a few big characters. I am willing to accept this kind of person back, and I am not afraid of being laughed at."

Several other people also agreed with what he said very much. Imagine if someone among them had a family member living among the people, raised as a commoner, vulgar, ignorant of etiquette, and even illiterate. Not to be a laughing stock?

The well-informed young man who spoke at the beginning flashed his eyes, and said deliberately: "Since we met here, it might be inappropriate for us to pretend that we didn't see it. Why don't we go over and say hello?"

The others looked at each other, seeing a similar eagerness to try in each other's eyes.

Most of the children of the Duke's Mansion, including the female relatives who married into the Duke's Mansion, seemed particularly unattainable. This was a rare opportunity to see their jokes, how could I miss it!

When they reached a consensus and walked towards the Duke's Mansion, Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu, who had noticed them early on, also exchanged a glance.
