Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 34 The Purpose of Shopping

Ling Bo frowned and said, "Is something wrong?"

After she finished speaking, she realized that besides her and Xiushu, there was another person in the room, Huaping.

Xiu Shu pulled her in, closed the door tightly, and then said: "I thought Ge Ge would come back last night, but I didn't see anyone after watching for the whole night. Fujin came over early this morning."

Ling Bo's heart skipped a beat: "What is she here for?"

"The servant also asked, Fujin only said that he had something to do with Gege, the servant was so light-hearted, how dare he ask, but Gege is clearly not in the room, if Fujin insists on coming in, the servant can't stop him, but he will reveal his secret and miss Gege's important matter .

"Thanks to Huaping's cleverness, Gege said that when Gege came back from the palace yesterday, she saw Bozhebeile being beaten, she was worried about his injury, she tossed and turned, she couldn't sleep, she went to bed late at night, and because she was tired, she woke up later in the morning, not as usual. That's why Fujin didn't become suspicious, he just said that when Ge Ge got up, someone should report to her, and then he had already gone back."

Ling Bo nodded, glanced at the painting screen, and said, "It's done well."

Huaping is a little thinner than the previous days, and his chin is sharper, but the coquettishness between his eyebrows and eyes has been restrained a lot.

When she heard Ling Bo's praise, she smiled and said: "This servant is also quick-witted. I just got up at that time, and when I went out, I saw the embroidered book blocking Fujin at the door. The servant didn't know what was going on, but seeing the embroidered book My sister stopped me, it must be because Ge Ge is inconvenient to meet guests, so I thought of a way to send Fujin away. Speaking of which, the servants still deceived the master and committed a crime, please punish Ge Ge."

Ling Bo waved his hands and said, "It's justifiable, so there's no need to pursue it."

Seeing that Huaping didn't ask her why she was away last night, she thought that learning the rules from Nanny Li these days finally paid off.It seems that this girl is not useless, at least she can correct her mistakes.

The embroidered book said: "Gege is not exhausted, can you take a rest?"

"Forget it, let's just freshen up. After all, Fujin is in front of the house, so it's not good to keep her waiting for a long time."

Embroidered books and painted screens were busy unpacking clothes, and loudly called the little girl to fetch water so that she could wash and put on makeup for her.

He didn't know what exactly Fujin wanted her for, so he just picked out a suit of simple and elegant clothes, which could be worn at home or when going out, and he also chose a pair of matching flat embroidered shoes to wear.

Back then, she was surrounded by four girls with ranks, Huaping, Xiushu, Yuezhu, Ruidong. Yuezhu was kicked out on the first day, and Huaping was also sent to Li Nanny because she didn't know the rules and behaved improperly. Mammy teaches, so the one who usually stays with her is embroidered books; Ruidong often stays behind in the yard, leading the little girls to do things.

Today, Huaping first made a contribution, and now he is busy and courteous, obviously wanting to return to her side to serve her.

Seeing that she knew how to speak and act properly, Ling Bo was also satisfied.

So, she took the embroidered book and the painting screen and walked to Qian Jiashi's yard in Fujin.

Qian Jiashi thought that the bonsai in the yard were placed awkwardly, so he ordered the servants to move around. When he saw Ling Bo coming in, he immediately went up to him with a smile and said, "Why did you come in person? Didn't you just tell someone to report it? I used to be. Although you young people are brisk, you are spoiled and spoiled, not as strong as our old ones."

While talking, both sides have already come to the front.

Qian Jiashi reached out and grabbed Ling Bo's wrist, and said with a smile, "Did you sleep well yesterday? Have you recovered from your fatigue?"

Ling Bo felt very uncomfortable with her sudden intimacy, and said: "I slept late at night and woke up late in the morning, but my body has slowed down." While speaking, she pulled out her wrist without any trace.

Qian Jiashi didn't seem to notice her small movements, and still smiled brightly and said: "GeGe usually lives in seclusion, so he probably hasn't seen the scenery of our capital well. I see that the weather is good today, why don't I go out with GeGe for a walk. "

Ling Bo's heart skipped a beat.

Speaking of modern Beijing, she has seen it before, but she has never had the chance to take a good look at the city of Beijing in the Qing Dynasty.

"Why bother Fujin, I'll just take my people and go out for a stroll."

Qian Jiashi said disapprovingly: "Gege is engaged, it's not easy to show her face, I'd better accompany me to have a look. There are a few makeup and jewelry shops in the city, although they are not as good as Neizao, they are also novel and interesting. Accompany Gege to buy some, even if you don’t use it yourself, you can reward the girls.”

After Qian Jiashi finished speaking, regardless of Ling Bo's agreement or not, she called for someone to come and tell Nanny Li, and then she took Ling Bo's hand and went out together.

The carriage was set up long ago, and the master and servant got into the carriage after leaving the second gate.

Now that the matter is over, Ling Bo can feel at ease.Although she doesn't like Qian Jiashi, as long as she doesn't make mistakes, she can still bear it.

There are places to see and play in the capital, as well as shops to shop and buy. Qian Jiashi is actually very familiar with it. Ling Bo following her is like following a professional tour guide, eating and watching to the fullest, I am also happy to play.

Rouge and gouache, bracelets and hairpin rings, gold, jade and jade, silk and satin, all bought by many people.Ling Bo said that it wouldn't be used, but Qian Jiashi said that although it was not made in-house, the style was still fresh, and it would be good to buy it back as a reward for servants, so he bought a bunch of them and took a lot of seasonal fresh dim sum.

Fortunately, Fucha's carriage was big enough to fit them all.

Seeing that Qian Jiashi really seemed to be just taking her out to play, Ling Bo thought that the other party just wanted to make up with her, and gradually lost his guard.

In the end, everyone came to a restaurant with a nice name, and asked the guests to come again.

Qian Jiashi said: "After walking around for a long time, I must be tired. It's not early, let's have lunch here."

The soles of Ling Bo's feet were sore, he hurriedly nodded and said yes repeatedly.

Qian Jiashi turned around and ordered a few servants to send all the purchased items back to the mansion first, leaving only two or three maids and a few family guards by her side, Ling Bo was only surrounded by embroidered books and painted screens .

Those who run a restaurant in the capital, from the shopkeeper to the waiter, are all lively-eyed masters. Seeing this group of people hugging each other, although the clothes on their bodies are not gorgeous, they can be seen at a glance that the workmanship is exquisite and the material is first-class. Distinguished guests, the shopkeeper personally came out from the counter to receive them.

A girl next to Qian Jiashi said: "We have booked a private room." She gave the name of the private room.

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "So it's Master Zhu Ketu's distinguished guest, please hurry up."

When Ling Bo heard Zhu Ketu's name, he couldn't remember who it was, but frowned.When I followed Qian Jiashi upstairs to the door of the private room, I realized that it was Qian Jiashi's younger brother, that is, the "mother-in-law" who said to let her take care of him last time.

She immediately realized that Qian Jiashi had been shopping with her before, trying to please her in every possible way, but the ultimate goal was for the lunch at noon.

But he had already reached the door, and it was too late to leave, so he had to follow her into the private room.

A fat middle-aged man stood up, his eyes were narrowed, his yellow teeth were exposed, and he said with a flattering smile, "Sister is here, and Princess is here too."
