Chapter 173 Visiting the Capital

The afternoon sun was very good, and the weather in April was not too hot, Pei Jing did not go to drive their carriage, but only took Chen Miao's hand, and the two walked slowly along the wall of Prince Xiang's Mansion.

Chen Miao intentionally diverted Pei Jing's attention, so she said: "Ah Jing, the weather in the capital is still very good, I think it is drier and warmer than our Yunzhou. Mother and Mother Yue's knuckles are a little rheumatic, Mother Yue is even more powerful, if we move to the capital in the future, it will be better for their bodies."

Pei Jing smiled lightly and said: "Now that I am in the army, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to move to the capital. I think I should find another house for you to live in after returning home. After all, you and your mother are both ordered to live in the capital now." For those who are alive, it’s not good to live in that area all the time. When I find a house and find a few little girls to serve you, I should let you live a good life.”

Chen Miao pursed her lips and smiled, "I think we live in a good place now. Now the yard has been doubled by you, and vegetables are still growing in the field. We added everything one by one. I can't bear to move."

Pei Jing looked bewildered, and sighed softly: "Yes, we are reluctant to part with just a few dilapidated houses, not to mention the old house we had back then! It was built by our parents after many years of painstaking efforts. what."

Seeing his sad expression, Chen Miao couldn't help holding his arm, and called out softly, "Ah Jing, don't blame yourself, you've actually done a good job."

Pei Jing smiled lightly, and said softly, "Me? It's still far away!"

He dragged Chen Miao to continue walking forward, no longer entangled in this topic, but secretly made up his mind that one day in the future he would take back that old house of Pei's family, if he really couldn't get it back, he would also do it for his father The mother, wife and children change to a house that is bigger than the old house.

While walking and chatting, Chen Miao turned her head by chance and saw the two men in green clothes standing far behind them with a calm expression.

Even though I'm not used to it, I can't help it.

But in the capital, they are not familiar with the place, if something really happens, I'm afraid it's really not a bad thing to have these two people around.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that there was no inconvenience, and they still carried Pei Jing with them, talking and laughing.

When she walked out of the wall of Prince Xiang's Mansion, there were more and more people. When she looked behind her again, the two people were already hidden in the crowd and could not be seen.

Pei Jing asked with a smile: "What are you looking at? Are you looking at those two people?"

Chen Miao smiled and said, "Just take a look, it's nothing."

Pei Jing smiled lightly: "These two people are very powerful in martial arts, and I am no match for them."

Chen Miao was slightly startled: "It's so powerful."

Pei Jing laughed: "My martial arts are nothing, it's not worth mentioning, there are so many talented people in this world."

He said to Chen Miao: "It's so easy to come out, don't think about it all the time. Didn't you hear that there are many snacks in the capital? Come, I will take you to taste all over the capital."

It's just that the two of them don't know the layout of the capital city very well. Although they walked to the main street, it was indeed very lively. Unfortunately, there are not big restaurants, but gold and silver shops, silk and satin shops, etc. on both sides. They want to find a snack on the street. It's all very rare.

Later, Chen Miao asked an old lady to ask, and found out that the snack street in the capital city is not on this side, but on the North Street in the east city, but this is the west city. It may take more than two hours to walk there with two legs.

The two had no choice but to give up. Fortunately, although there is no snack street in Xicheng, there are many things that are rarely seen in Yunzhou City.

For example, shadow puppets in theaters, storytelling in teahouses; they took Chen Miao to a cloth shop to look at silks and satins, but Chen Miao didn’t buy them because they thought they were too expensive, and finally went to the most famous Baoruizhai in the capital to look at head jewelry.

The capital is indeed different from the remoteness of Yunzhou, and even the head jewelry is much more exquisite and delicate than that of Yunzhou City.

The shopkeeper of the jewelry store took out several pieces of jewelry, and Chen Miao couldn't put it down after looking at each piece, but she reckoned that all of them were expensive.

She bit her lip, still shaking her head.

Pei Jing looked annoyed and funny, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, don't feel bad for the silver, I brought a lot of silver notes when I came out this time, there are more than 1000 taels, you can spend whatever you want."

Chen Miao gave him a white look, turned her face and said in a low voice, "It was earned by us, and it didn't fall from the sky. I still feel distressed."

Pei Jing ignored her, picked out a gold hairpin inlaid with rubies from among several pieces of jewelry, held it up and asked, "How much is this?"

The shopkeeper was an old man in his fifties, with a red face and a bright smile. When he saw Pei Jing asking about the gold hairpin, he smiled and said, "Master, you have good eyesight. The gemstone on this hairpin is called Xi Rui. There is no impurity at all, and it is really good for this lady. The price is 500 taels."

Pei Jing almost threw the hairpin to the ground on the spot.

Three thousand five hundred taels?
Is this extortion of money?

Chen Miao laughed secretly, took the hairpin out of Pei Jing's hand calmly, and said with a smile, "I don't like those with precious stones."

These few hairpins are all delicate and unique in workmanship, I'm afraid they won't have a too low price, she looked left and right, bravely picked up a string of beads and asked: "This one is unique, how much is it?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "This is the night pearl of the East China Sea, and this string is 5000 taels."

Chen Miao's hands trembled slightly, as expected the price of goods in the capital is high, it's better not to come in for these small people with 1000 taels in their pockets.

Gently putting down the beads, Chen Miao said with a smile: "Let's go to another house to see, I don't like the style of this house very much."

Pei Jingqiang smiled and said, "Why don't you take a look again."

Chen Miao said with a smile: "Let's go eat something, I'm a little hungry."

Pei Jing smiled lightly, "OK".

When the two left Baoruizhai, Pei Jing sighed, "Miaoer, am I too useless? I can't even afford a piece of jewelry you like."

Chen Miao smiled, took a silver hairpin from her hair, handed it to Pei Jing with a smile and said, "Look, isn't this what you gave me back then? I just like this one."

Pei Jing smiled lightly, put the hairpin back in her hair with her own hands, took her hand and said, "It's too plain, after returning to Yunzhou City, I will make some beautiful ones for you."

This time, Chen Miao didn't object any more, and only said softly "Yes", before she said: "Ah Jing, although you are calmer now, somehow, I still prefer when you called yourself 'Young Master' in front of others. 'The appearance is arrogant and domineering and cute."

Pei Jing laughed uncontrollably: "What's cute about that?"

He thought for a while, and sighed softly: "At that time, I was young and frivolous, spending my days drinking and drinking, gambling and fighting. Now that I think about it, it seems like a lifetime thing in this world."

He was silent for a long time before he smiled and said: "People always grow up, Miaoer, I have already grown up."
