Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 31 Is there that kind of...

We quickly returned to Zuofu on the south bank of Wende Bridge. It was not yet noon.

Third uncle Zuo Hanchou was busy with official duties and had not yet returned. In the huge mansion, only third aunt and fifth brother Zuo Yunting were present.

Zuo Lingquan came to the main courtyard first, reported to his third aunt that he was safe, and then prepared to go shopping to buy rouge and gouache for the senior sisters.

It was hard for Zuo Lingquan to tell his third aunt about choosing rouge for a woman, but he was not familiar with the capital, so he couldn’t ask anyone one by one when he went out. When he was about to choose a Shuiling maid to accompany him when he went out, the fifth brother Zuo Yunting yawned and lazily ran out of the back house.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the maids and servants at home were almost ready for lunch. Zuo Yunting had obviously just gotten up. At this time, he was rubbing his eyes and walked directly to the dining room without putting on any clothes.

The maid servant had long been accustomed to this scene. When she saw Zuo Lingquan coming from the verandah, she quickly bowed and bowed;

"Seventh Young Master."

Zuo Yunting was sleepy and didn't pay attention at all. He heard the sound and found his cousin standing next to him. As the elder brother, his unkempt appearance naturally cannot be seen by his younger brother. Zuo Yunting coughed quickly, stood up straight, patted his clothes, and said in a mature manner:

"Ling Quan, are you back? You were cleaning the house just now, and your clothes were a little messy."

Zuo Lingquan saw through it without saying anything: "Fifth brother is really diligent and thrifty. I have just come back and am about to go out for a walk."

Although the two are cousins, they have not met in the past years. With Zuo Lingquan becoming the consort, Zuo Hanchou has been nagging about something all day long these days:

"The traitor! If you were half as capable as Ling Quan, even half as good-looking, you would be able to eat soft rice even if you don't have hard food..."

Zuo Yunting could almost hear cocoons in his ears, and he wanted to get to know his cousin.

Hearing that Zuo Lingquan was about to go out for a walk, Zuo Yunting became interested, walked over and patted Zuo Lingquan on the shoulder:

"You have just arrived in the capital not long ago, so I'm afraid you are not familiar with the streets. Would you like Fifth Brother to take you out for a walk? Fifth Brother is known as the 'Eight-inch Gun of Wende'. Everyone in the capital knows this, and he is very familiar with the outside world."

Eight-inch gun? Zuo Lingquan's eyelids twitched, but he refused to smile and responded warmly:

"That's just right. If Fifth Brother is not busy, take me out to know the way."

"What can I do to be busy? I won't die if I miss one meal."

Zuo Yunting left immediately, straightened his clothes, and took Zuo Lingquan out of the house, heading towards the busiest Xinghua Street.

Donghua City has a total of thirty-six squares and a population of no less than 300,000. The weather in February is very good, and many people come out to get some fresh air. The streets are full of people, and the shops along the streets are also full of beautiful things.

Zuo Yunting said that no one knew him, and he was obviously not bragging. When he walked to Xinghua Street, where brothels and restaurants were crowded, he could often hear the sentence:

"Fifth Master, come in and play~"

"Fifth Master, the crickets we just caught from Evergreen Mountain..."

…

Zuo Lingquan walked all the way, and his head gradually became covered with black lines, but after all, he was a brother of the same clan, so he couldn't say anything. He waited until he reached the middle of Xinghua Street and said:

"Fifth brother, you don't want to take me to a brothel, do you?"

When Zuo Yunting heard this, his eyes moved slightly. After looking around, he leaned closer and whispered:

"Ling Quan, aren't you still a young child? Do you want Fifth Brother to take you there..."

Zuo Lingquan has always kept himself clean, so he must be Chu'er. His eyes pointed at the majestic imperial city in the distance:

"Fifth brother, are you sure that Her Highness the Princess will not send us brothers to the palace to be eunuchs after she finds out?"

Zuo Yunting felt a chill in his body and quickly shouted: "Haha!"

"It's just a joke, Fifth Brother, I never go to unclean places like that. Um... Do you want to go to the gambling house? If you go, you can lend me some money, um... Fifth Brother is more diligent and thrifty, so I will give all the money to your Third Uncle. I’ve purchased the four treasures of the study.”

Zuo Lingquan sighed and said: "I won't go to the gambling house. I have been living in Qihuang Valley recently. The senior sister there asked me to bring some rouge. Does Fifth Brother know where Xianzhizhai is?"

Zuo Yunting suddenly realized and patted his chest:

"Let's go, I'll take you there. Well... pick a few things for me by the way."

"Fifth brother still uses this?"

"How could it be? It's for my mother."

"Really? I'll definitely have to pay for it. When I came to Beijing, I didn't bring any gifts to my third aunt. I'm ashamed to say that..."

"As a family, we don't care."

While the two were chatting, they arrived at a three-story building in the middle of Xinghua Street.

The high-rise building is called "Xianzhizhai", where there are all kinds of jewelry, rouge, gouache, clothes and cloth. The items purchased are all for ladies and ladies, but the customers are not all ladies and gentlemen. There are also gentlemen who come to choose gifts for the people they like. Not a few.

Zuo Lingquan entered and looked up to see the proprietress standing in the hall. Her eyes were shining with golden light, as if she saw a big piece of fat. She ignored the guests and ran over quickly:

"Hey~ What brought the fifth young master here? There are few visitors. Come in quickly. Who is this?"

"My cousin, nicknamed Qinghe God of Wealth, you have to entertain him."

"Hey~Double happiness is coming to us! Please come in!"

The fat proprietress clapped her hands, as if she saw two pieces of fat, and quickly brought Zuo Lingquan into a private room next to the hall to sit down. Tea, water and melon seeds were all available.

Zuo Lingquan didn't care about this. After sitting on the chair, he drank tea quietly and let Zuo Yunting pick things first.

However, Zuo Lingquan still underestimated Zuo Yunting's unreliability.

Zuo Yunting sat down on the chair. After being complimented by the landlady, he immediately started to ask for whatever he wanted. In just half a cup of tea, there was a lot on the table.

Zuo Lingquan has a lot of money, so he doesn't care about buying things for his third aunt, but the things the shop clerk brought over are obviously not what a housekeeper should use - flashy hairpins, brightly colored rouge, etc. The little girl looks inappropriate, even more so than Sister Goulanyao.

After Zuo Lingquan looked at it for a moment, he put down his tea cup and raised his hand to stop Zuo Yunting's words:

"Fifth Brother, are you sure these things are all for Aunt Three?"

When Zuo Yunting saw that it was good, he gave it up and said haha:

"A bit Doha? That's it. What do you want to buy?"

Zuo Lingquan shook his head secretly, without saying much, and turned to the shopkeeper: "I heard that you have a kind of rouge called 'Red Flower Honey'?"

The landlady could tell who was paying the money, and she nodded with a smile:

"Red flower honey is my Xianzhizhai's signature product. Her Royal Highness the Princess likes it now. How much do you want, Master?"

Zuo Lingquan counted the number of people and ordered about ten boxes of rouge. Although the price was a bit expensive, compared with Zuo Yunting's lavish spending, it was much more affordable. He asked the shopkeeper to pack it up and send it to his house. He stood up and was about to leave. But when he walked out of the private room, he saw two official ladies choosing clothes in the hall.

Last time in Qihuang Valley, Zuo Lingquan was competing with Wu Qingwan and accidentally tore Wu Qingwan's clothes. Although Wu Qingwan didn't mind, Wu Qingwan took good care of Zuo Lingquan. It was impossible for Zuo Lingquan not to forget this feeling. Now that he met her, he said:

"Do you have a high-quality skirt?"

The proprietress wished that Zuo Lingquan would buy the shop directly, and nodded quickly:

"Yes, as long as it is for women, we have it here. May I take the young master up to have a look?"

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly and looked back. Zuo Yunting met an acquaintance again and was chatting. He didn't interrupt and went directly to the second floor with the landlady.

The second floor is much quieter than the lobby on the first floor, and the people entertaining are all women. Apparently there are many ladies and ladies here on weekdays to choose ready-made clothes and fabrics.

Zuo Lingquan came to a large room and looked up and saw a lot of dresses hanging on the wall. There were dresses with separate tops and skirts, and there were also dresses that were made in one piece. Regardless of style and texture, I'm afraid you can't find them in the Great Dan Dynasty. Comparable.

Zuo Lingquan had good taste and knew Wu Qingwan's appearance and body measurements, so he naturally knew what kind of skirt would look good on him. After looking around for a while, he picked out a cloud-white long dress. The fabric was produced in the four southern counties. The brocade in the clouds has cloud patterns outlined by silver threads. It not only lacks the intelligence of a young girl, but also has a mature and graceful atmosphere. It is very suitable for a woman like Wu Qingwan who can't figure out her age.

"Young master, you have really good taste. The embroiderer just made this dress. It took nearly three months of work. Just this one..."

Zuo Lingquan was not interested in listening to these deceptive nonsense. After choosing a dress, he looked around again.

The landlady quickly asked: "What else do you want to choose, sir?"

Last time Zuo Lingquan scratched, not only Wu Qingwan's outer skirt, but also the clothes underneath were torn. If she wanted to pay compensation, she would definitely pay for the whole set.

Although it was not appropriate to give underwear as a gift, Zuo Lingquan's contact showed that Wu Qingwan had the demeanor of a worldly master and was not very particular about worldly rules. After a little hesitation, he was still prepared to buy one as compensation for Wu Qingwan.

However, it has always been difficult for grown men to ask for this.

Fortunately, the landlady's eyes were extremely vicious. When she saw Zuo Lingquan's hesitation, she understood the meaning and smiled in her eyes:

"Young master, do you want to buy some obscene clothes? You really feel sorry for women."

Indecent clothing is close-fitting clothing, and a bellyband is one of them. The word "obscene" is used because ordinary people think it is unclean, and few men would buy it.

Zuo Lingquan didn't care about this and asked:

"Have it?"

"have."

The proprietress quickly ran to the counter on the side of the room, took out several wooden boxes, opened them and asked Zuo Lingquan to choose.

Zuo Lingquan glanced briefly and saw that the underwear in the box was very conservative in style and made of similar materials to outerwear. Although it was close-fitting, the shape was extremely ugly and looked like a piece of cloth pocket.

Zuo Lingquan knew that in this world, most women in the market wore such obscene clothes, but he really couldn't stand it and asked:

"Well...is there that kind...that kind..."

Zuo Lingquan didn’t know how to describe it.

But the landlady has been doing this business all year round. How could she not understand the meaning and asked:

"A little flirtatious?"

Sao? !

Zuo Lingquan staggered, he didn't expect the landlady to say such an adjective.

This adjective is very appropriate, but when applied to Senior Wu, it is obviously too presumptuous and rude. After all, she is also half of his mother-in-law...

Zuo Lingquan hesitated and corrected seriously:

"It's more beautiful, um...for more mature and dignified women, female elders."

The lady boss blinked her eyes, with a slightly strange expression on her face, and said to herself: Buy a bellyband for the elders? Men buy bellybands just so that women can wear them for themselves...

However, in the capital, there are many young masters who like mature women, especially those with some taboo relationships.

Mature women are not as bland as little girls. It seems that ordinary sluts are not enough...

The landlady nodded secretly and understood what Zuo Lingquan meant. Within a moment, she brought out a beautifully crafted purse and handed it to Zuo Lingquan.

Zuo Lingquan did not touch the things that were given to Wu Qingwan as compensation. He just asked the landlady to open them and glance at them. After feeling that the workmanship was good, he asked the landlady to get a new one, wrap it up and put it in the white skirt...
