Chapter 9
Ye Fu's dowry clothes were extremely gorgeous, and he bargained with the pawnshop shopkeeper for a long time, and settled on 60 taels of silver.

Jiang Xian didn't know the prices in the Yuan Dynasty, so she asked Cui Nong, and learned that the average farmer with a family of three here only spends about two taels of silver a year, so she stopped arguing with the shopkeeper, collected the money, and went straight to the shop next door. Clothing shop.

The styles of clothes displayed in the shop are ordinary.The workmanship is solid, but the fabric is average.

Jiang Xian picks and chooses, frowning, undecided.

Seeing this, Cui Nong reminded in a low voice: "Young Madam, if you want new clothes, the mansion has its own tailor who can make them for you with high-quality fabrics, so you don't need to go to the street to buy them."

At any rate, she is the young lady of the first-class duke's mansion, wearing such ordinary and plain clothes, if someone sees her, it may not be very good.

Jiang Xian didn't think too much about it, she thought the clothes in this shop were pretty good, they were all comfortable and soft fine cotton linen with tight stitches.Seeing that the weather is getting hotter, it is just right to wear in spring.

This shell of hers has white skin and a thin waist, and it fits well, so don't bother to try it on.I directly chose a few plain skirts in bean green and light blue, asked the boss to wrap them up, and gave the money readily.

Seeing that Cui Nong wrinkled her round face and disapproved, Jiang Xian couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, I bought these clothes and only wore them in the house. Didn't I ask you to keep a few old clothes? If there are entertainments, If you wear those luxurious ones again, you won’t lose the face of Duke Yu’s government.”

After Madam said so, Cui Nong naturally had no worries.

The two masters and servants led the servants and continued to wander the streets.

Jiang Xian carries a large amount of money in her pocket, so people are always floating.Girls' shopping psychology is troublesome, and they always feel that they need to find another place to do some serious shopping.

After wandering around, I came to a snack street in the capital.

Looking at the bustling market, the fireworks burst out and the fragrance was tangy.Jiang Xian suddenly let out an "Aiya" in surprise, like a fish entering the river and sea, she hurriedly dragged Cui Nong into it.

Fried white sausage, Zaoer cake, freshly wrapped three fresh spring rolls, freshly baked pickled pork patties...

Cui Nong was also the girl of a wealthy family since she was a child, how could she have been in the market like she is today.At the beginning, I was still cautious and couldn't let it go. When my wife stuffed the hot jujube and horn millet into her hands, she smiled at her: "Try it quickly, I asked the mother-in-law to put more sugar, so it's very sweet."

Cui Nong took a bite carefully, the glutinous rice was sweet and soft, full of fragrance.

Jiang Xian looked at her expectantly, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Cui Nong's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly: "It's delicious! Thank you, Young Madam."

Jiang Xian has no feudal thoughts in her bones, she now regards Cui Nong as a "dinner", and plans to eat from the street to the end of the street.But the eyes are big and the stomach is small. After eating a bowl of rice soup with sanzi, I can't eat any more, so I have to pack a few pastries in a hurry and continue shopping to eat.

Jiang Xian's goal for herself is to eat unlimited food in a limited time.

But her physical foundation is too poor, it is impossible to eat and drink without a plan.Besides eating, she stayed in the yard every day, so she had to find some entertainment.

"Madam, if you feel bored, you can buy some story books to pass the time." Cui Nong liked the current Madam very much, and she always spoke with a seven-point smile.

Jiang Xian slapped her palms together and said happily, "That's right!"

She quickly asked Cui Nong to lead the way to the largest bookstore on West Street.This bookstore not only sells books for lease, but also takes care of half of the engraving and printing in the capital.

Jiang Xian didn't read those obscure general history books, but went straight to various scripts.What "Xia Xing Ji", "Night Talks in the Light Rain Spring Tower", "Yuan Duck's Fate", I collected more than ten copies in a mess, and spent a lot of money.

Jiang Xian came out with a stack of books in her arms, satisfied, and just wanted to go home immediately, and read while eating the snacks she bought.

"Ma'am, give it to the servant girl." Cui Nong was about to take the heavy book from her hand when she tripped over something.Jiang Xian panicked, and quickly reached out to help her, but her center of gravity was unstable, and the stack of books in her hand scattered all over the floor.

After taking a closer look, I realized that it was a gray-haired dog jumping out from the corner, tripping people up and down.

The owner of the book store is a middle-aged man in green shirts and cloth clothes. It is said that he took the exam at the age of 14 and is now [-]. He is still a child.

His official career is hopeless, but he is quite talented in business.

Hearing the sound, seeing that the big customer almost fell at the door, he was shocked.He hurriedly asked the clerk of the bookstore to come out with a wooden stick with a thick wrist, and gritted his teeth at the culprit: "If you dare to disturb the distinguished guests, beat this short-sighted bastard to death!"

When Jiang Xian heard him speak vulgarly, she knew why he failed in repeated trials.

The puppy was only three or four months old, and it was supposed to be snow-colored, but it was too dirty and sloppy, and looked dusty at first glance.It huddled in a corner, its brown-black eyes timidly staring at the surroundings, like a frightened bird.

Jiang Xian was moved with compassion, raised her hand to stop the guy, and said softly: "Let the owner take it back and tie the rope, don't kill yourself."

The owner of the book store laughed: "Madam doesn't know something, this dog has no owner. It often wanders around the street, picking up leftovers from bad food. If I don't kill it, it won't live long."

It turned out to be a stray dog.

Jiang Xian's eyes couldn't help falling on the puppy again.

With a round head and drooping furry ears, it looks like an ordinary farm dog.But a pair of eyes are wet and sparkling, very cute.

Jiang Xian couldn't help but half bent her waist and sucked at it.

The puppy quickly wagged its tail, ran to her feet cautiously, and rubbed it lightly.

Jiang Xian sighed, and smiled helplessly at the owner of the bookstore: "It seems that this dog is destined to be with me. Since there is no owner, I will adopt it."

If she wanted to come to Yuguo's mansion, no one would care whether she had a dog or not.

The owner of the bookshop saw the wind, and said with a shy smile, "Madam is really kind. This dog is lucky to meet you at the door of my bookstore for seven lives. He will come to our bookstore often in the future!"

Jiang Xian answered without hesitation.

Cui Nong wanted to go over and take the dog away, but the little dog didn't make out with her, and just hid around Jiang Xian's feet.Jiang Xian didn't think the dog was dirty, so she bent down to hug it, but this time it was gentle and honest, nestling in her arms obediently.

Cui Nong glared at the fluffy puppy resentfully, and muttered: "It's a winking one."

Jiang Xian couldn't help a "puchi" smile, stretched out her index finger, tapped the dog's furry forehead, and smiled softly: "It's because I don't know dogs well, the little guy is actually a follower of power."

It was getting late, and Jiang Xian couldn't hang out on the streets anymore. She had a good harvest today and went back home.

Diagonally opposite the door of Shusi is the famous Fengheju, the number one restaurant in the capital.

Fenghe Residence was built at the fork of the Southwest Two Streets, with an excellent location.It is four floors high. Standing on the top floor, one can have a bird's-eye view of large buildings in the capital through the window. You can even see the cornices, vermilion walls and glazed tiles on the south side of the imperial city.

At this time, the private room on the fourth floor of Fenghe Residence has already served delicacies.

The jug carved with beautiful jade, the wine is bottomless, but the dishes are not touched much, and there is a cool air.

On the right side of the table by the window sat a man of about thirty.He was wearing a crow-blue hooded cloak with a dark pattern of owl's kiss, covering himself tightly, with only one face exposed.This person has good facial features, but he has a hooked nose, and the corners of his narrow eyes are slightly upturned, giving him a sinister and sinister temperament.

"What are you looking at?" He was playing with a glass jade cup with his right hand, seemingly unintentionally asking.

Qin Yanfeng looked away from the book shop.

His handsome face was calm, he lifted the jug gracefully, and poured a cup to the person opposite him in a relaxed and respectful manner.He said with a faint smile, "I'm looking at the prosperity of Haiyan and Heqing."

The man also hooked the corner of his mouth.

Qin Yanfeng put down the jug, and suddenly became serious.

He raised his eyes to look at the other party, and frowned slightly: "Second Highness, forgive me for speaking bluntly, you shouldn't have returned to Beijing this time."
