Chapter 354: Four thousand words for birthday gift
Mrs. Yang couldn't wait. She had been at home for a long time, and since she came to the capital, she hadn't gone out seriously.
"Let's go, I'm going to the cloth village to choose a few pieces of material to make new clothes. Have you all received the post from the Marquis of Xinwu? I heard that officials above the fifth rank have received posts. Bar?"
Pei Xiu smiled at Madam Yang and said, "Are you so well-informed at home?"
"The servants in the family have spread the word. I didn't know it. The servant who bought it said it there as soon as he came back this morning, and I heard it when I passed by."
Mrs. Qiu also agreed, "I heard that too."
"Marquis Xinwu is the elder brother of the Empress and the uncle of the country. It's nothing to be arrogant. What's more, this is the 70th birthday of Mrs. Tai, the emperor has to give gifts, and it should be done in a big way." Mrs. Yang said indifferently. , the letter Wuhou has proud capital.
"I haven't got the birthday gift yet, and I don't know what to give, so I asked you to go out for a walk and give me some advice."
Mrs. Qiu also guessed that her family is weak, and she specially invited them out today to buy suitable birthday gifts. "The shops of gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are probably very lively today. We will prepare a gift to send over. Let's join in the fun too, take care of your birthday gift first, and then have a good stroll around."
"Let's go to Suzaku Street. That street is full of high-end shops. There are no ordinary people coming in and out, and no one will collide. Let's get off at the entrance and meet."
Although Mrs. Yang didn't go out, she likes to ask people about the streets and alleys when she has nothing to do. It can be said that although she doesn't go out, she still knows a lot about the capital.
The other two had no objection, and everyone got into their own carriages.
After Mai came out, she was curious about what she saw, and her **** grape-like eyes looked around. If Sister Li wanted to carry her into the carriage, she refused. She opened the door and was reluctant to go in.
Pei Xiu couldn't stop laughing, got up and carried her into the car, "Let's sit for a while and get off the car soon."
She just sat obediently.
After getting in the car, Sister-in-law Li said with a smile, "Madam, the girl is too smart, and she knows not to go home in the carriage."
"The outside world is so new and interesting, and it's normal to not want to go home." Pei Xiu watched her clambering up and down and wanted to open the window, so she simply opened it for her, just because the car was a little stuffy.
Their carriages are all custom-made with doors and windows. If there are no doors and windows but only curtains, traveling in winter will not keep you warm, and it is also dangerous, and it is easy to roll out if you are not careful. Only when the car dealership puts the rented carriages in the hope of being cheap, will there be no doors and windows.
The carriage ran smoothly for a quarter of an hour and then stopped. Mai also excitedly went to pat the door, but was stopped by Pei Xiu, "Wait for Mammy to get off and hug you. Be good, or I'll send you home, you know."
She nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qiu's carriages have also arrived. After meeting, they plan to take a look at it slowly, anyway, there is plenty of time.
Looking at the ladies coming and going on the street, Mrs. Yang said: "I heard that there are not many people in this street in the past, but today there are quite a lot of ladies coming and going, I guess they are looking for suitable birthday gifts. Or buy jewelry and clothing."
"It should be, the letter of worship sent by the Marquis of Xinwu is considered a thunderbolt, and the entire capital is active."
Pei Xiu saw a pile of carriages parked next to it, thinking that this street should be regarded as an ancient pedestrian street.
The three of them chatted while walking, and the two of them brought two maids, and Pei Xiu brought more, and they all followed behind.
They had never been here before, so they just found a shop that looked bright and went in, intending to take a look first.
This shop sells antiques and jades, claiming to only sell treasures, not imitations. They are all laymen and can't tell the truth from the fake.
After looking around, they came out not interested and went to the next store.
As soon as I walked in, I found that the store was full of people. They were very curious, what did they sell, so popular?
Seeing those madams' maids go out with a lot of bottles and jars, Madam Yang suddenly realized, and explained to them, "I heard that the owner of this store is the imperial physician in the palace, and the cream powder sold in the store is from the palace. Empress Zhong is using it, the business is very good, and it is the most popular shop among the noble ladies in the capital."
Mrs. Yang has a lot of gossip, and it's really the right invitation to invite her out today, and I can give them some popular science from time to time.
"Really? Let's see, is it possible to try it over there?" Mrs. Qiu was also moved when she heard it. Seeing that a lady was trying to smear, she also stepped forward to take a look.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and women have no resistance to cosmetics.
This shop is all in the business of ladies, and it is really not afraid of people taking advantage of it. It has specially set up a corner for people to try smears for free. The move was welcomed by all.
When they came out of the shop, each of them brought a few bottles and jars.
"He also said that he would help me see the birthday gift first. You are all reluctant to come out of this shop."
"Aren't you the same, you buy a lot of bottles and cans."
"A woman is a person who pleases herself. I am older than you. If I don't take good care of myself, I will become a yellow-faced woman." When she was in the country, there were no skin care products to use. , there are good things must be used up.
"Let's go to the neighborhood and look at your birthday gift first, or buy it later, forget it and don't leave it behind."
They chose a china shop nearby, but unexpectedly they ran into a mess.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a girl in the age of cardamom breaking a porcelain bowl, and then the girl frowned and immediately reacted, pulling the girl next to her, I grabbed the lead and said softly: "Sanmei, what are you doing? I broke the bowl so accidentally."
The **** the side was stunned for a moment, then put down the vase in her hand and said, "Didn't you break it, second sister?"
"What did the third sister say? I saw that you knocked down your sleeve. You have to be honest, and if you break it, it will shatter. It's just a gadget. We believe in the great cause of the Marquis of Wu, so we won't be able to afford it."
The ladies nearby looked at the two young ladies of Xinwuhou Mansion with different eyes arguing.
The shopkeeper did not dare to offend these two young ladies, so he had to keep silent, and wait for them to tell right from wrong first, so that the Marquis of Wu would not default on the debt.
Miss San was angry and ashamed, and she couldn't lose her temper in front of so many people. She was talking about kissing, but she didn't want to be smeared or ruined.
She patiently said, "Second sister, how can you wrong someone? I have a treasure bottle in my hand, so how could I break the porcelain bowl? It was clearly swept by your sleeve. I saw it with my own eyes when I turned my head."
The second lady frowned slightly, and said softly, "Third sister, it's just a small bowl. It's okay to pay for the whole set. How could you push me on top of it? Didn't you sweep your sleeves when you turned around?"
"not me.."
Mrs. Yang grabbed Mrs. Qiu, who wanted to come forward, and shook her head at her. This is the business of the two sisters, and they should not be involved by outsiders.
The second lady smiled gently and said to the shopkeeper, "It's mine, the shopkeeper will see how to pay for this bowl."
Then she gave a blessing to the ladies present, "My sister is still young, so I made everyone laugh."
As soon as the final decision was made, he directly put the pot on the third young lady's head, leaving her speechless.
"It's okay, the second lady is too polite and polite." The ladies said with a smile, and whispered that the second lady was gentle, kind, and polite. The character of the third lady is not very good. She has to rely on others to break a bowl. She has to talk about her relatives.
Miss San heard them pointing at her and talking, her face flushed with shame.
They seemed to be whispering, but in fact the volume reached the ears of everyone present.
Her nose was going to be crooked, but she didn't dare to lose her temper. Tears were falling down, and she didn't have the face to stay here anymore. She turned around and ran out, accidentally bumping into Pei Xiu who was standing by the door. Several people.
The personal maid also chased out helplessly.
"Third sister..." The second lady watched her leave with a worried look, and won unanimous praise from all the ladies present.
But there were also a few women with a clear heart, who glanced at the second lady with a look of disdain, and then turned to focus on the porcelain in front of her.
The second lady won a big victory, and she didn't plan to stay any longer, so she asked the maid to settle the bowl's account.
After watching the protagonists of the show leave, Pei Xiu looked at them and said, "Go in and talk later."
At a glance, she took a fancy to the vase in the hands of the third miss of the Marquis of Xinwu Mansion, and wanted to take a closer look.
Avoiding the debris on the ground, she took the vase in her hand and looked carefully.
The shopkeeper hurriedly asked Xiao Er to clean it up, and greeted the three ladies in front of him, and explained to them in detail how the craftsmanship of this Fu Lu Shou bottle is good. It is a celadon treasure produced by Ru kiln.
Since they took a fancy to the Fu Lu Shou bottle, it means that they are going to celebrate the birthday of the Marquis of Xinwu, and the ladies in front of them are at least the wives of five-rank officials.
"This Fu Lu Shou vase is quite suitable as a birthday gift, and it is a pair, only 80 taels. Madam, should you think about it, the third young lady who believed in Marquis of Wu just now also took a fancy to this vase."
Mrs. Yang picked up the other and looked at it carefully, "This pair of vases is not bad, it's decent and suitable for birthday gifts, and it's also beautiful to arrange flowers in the house."
"Indeed, how about this? I'll save myself the search."
Pei Xiu nodded with a little heartache. A pair of vases cost 80 taels. She just bought so many skin care products that it only cost her 10 taels, and they can be used for a long time.
"Help me wrap it up, does the shopkeeper have any gifts?"
The shopkeeper smiled happily, but it was a pity that the third lady left without buying it, and now the order will be made immediately.
"There are very few gifts in this shop, and Mrs. Xiaorenguan is also a cheerful person. The third lady broke the bowl just now. A set is worth 18 taels. If one is broken, I can't sell it, so I will give it to my wife as a gift. ."
Pei Xiu was immediately surprised, but she didn't expect it to exist. She didn't mind if one of the bowls was broken, and there were other bowls and dishes that could still be used.
Large families pay attention to the use of complete sets of cutlery. If one is broken, the rest will be put on the shelf. They don't pay attention to this when they live a hard life.
"Thank you, it's work."
After buying the birthday gift, her task of going out this time has been completed, and then she can shop at will.
"Okay, the Shouli matter is settled, let's go to Buzhuang to see."
"You don't have any other female relatives in your family besides you, and the cloth you gave is not enough for you to make clothes?" Pei Xiu was really curious.
She used the cloth as a reward to make her clothes, and the cloth distributed by Zhou Cheng's subsidy was reserved for the servants to make. Their family was not large, and it was just enough.
"Not every piece of cloth is suitable, and the seasons suitable for it are also different." Mrs. Yang said as a matter of course.
On the contrary, the colors and colors of the cloths that are rewarded are randomly distributed.
When Mrs. Yang finished buying the fabrics, they also felt a little tired and had been shopping for a long time.
"I don't want to go shopping anymore. I'm so tired. You all go to my house to rest. It's close. It's only been a quarter of an hour since you came here. You haven't been to my house yet."
"Okay, then go sit at your house and ask for a glass of water."
They didn't want to leave either, enough shopping today.
After they went to Mrs. Yang's house and sat down and ate two pieces of melons and fruits on the table, they felt comfortable.
Mrs. Yang hammered her sore leg, "It's not easy to go shopping. Fortunately, I have memorized the name of the shop. In the future, I will directly let the shopkeeper bring the fabric to the door to choose, and I have to go out shopping~ Shopping is also fun." Pei Xiu gently wiped Mai's chin, and the saliva kept dripping from the fruit.
"Before, the second Miss Xinwu Hou was really not a fuel-efficient lamp. She looked soft and weak, but she didn't hold back when she framed her sisters. She even threw the pot when she broke a bowl. In front of everyone's black sisters, I guess I will go back now. There is still a lot of noise." Mrs. Qiu was still thinking about what she saw before.
"There are many big families like this. Sisters step on each other mercilessly, not to mention that they are not sisters in the same room. I heard that the second and third young ladies of Wuhou Mansion are talking about kissing. The two of them are of similar age and their husbands The candidates must be almost the same, and there will be disputes only when there is competition.”
Pei Xiu also felt the same, "What a beautiful white lotus flower, she has a beautiful appearance, and she pretends to be weak and generous to win sympathy. She must have lived like a duck in water in the Houfu. These four generations all live in the same house, with all kinds of contradictions and filth. There are many."
"Who said no, the fragrant far and the near stink, there will always be all kinds of friction when living together. The mansion is shaking again now, and the fight must be even more fierce. That's why I stopped Mrs. Qiu from coming forward, and the sisters in the house were fighting. It's better not to worry about the drama, not all are blind, but there are people who understand."
"This big family is too complicated. They are fighting wits and courage every day. It's better for people like us, who live comfortably without too complicated relationships." Mrs. Qiu shook her head. She was glad that she had both her parents' family and her husband's family. Simple.
Mrs. Yang laughed, "I heard that the Marquis of Xinwu has been going downhill in recent years, and now it can be rich for decades."
