Rebirth from the end of the world to the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 156 Showing Goodwill (Part [-])

Song Tianlin also smiled foolishly: "My lord's attire also reminds me of those days when I was in An County, my lord was so fascinated by those little girls in An County! Hahaha!!"

"Let's go, it's true that I haven't seen Suzhou for a long time, the customs and customs of the area!"

The son is like jade, and the jade tree is facing the wind. You are probably talking about the person in front of you, right?

So the three of them haunted the streets of Hangzhou together, and the streets stretched to the east and west, all the way to the quieter suburbs outside the city.

But there are still pedestrians on the street: some are carrying burdens on the road, some are driving ox carts to deliver goods, some are driving donkeys to pull trucks, and some are stopping to enjoy the scenery of the Bian River.

Song Tianlin was dazzled, and felt that every time he visited Suzhou, it was a brand new picture.

"My lord, tell me, I think this city of Suzhou is already very prosperous. It's better than our An County, hundreds of times better! And I went to buy that snack last time! Oh, hey, I feel pain when I think about it! Then It costs five taels of silver!"

"Mr. Song! This is Hangzhou, but any high-end shop must cost several times the silver taels! But Mr. Song, follow your lord! I think your lord will not let you suffer! Besides, in the Suzhou-Hangzhou area The dim sum shop has always been famous far and wide, even the empress in the palace has praised it several times!!"

Song Tianlin couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, five taels of silver! !
"Yeah, but I still think it's an exaggeration, you know, our five taels of silver is enough to buy a shop!! Thinking about eating up a shop, I don't know how uncomfortable it is! !"

But Su Xiaoniang saw this appearance and felt ashamed.That is, a country bumpkin who doesn't know where he came from, who is actually qualified to go in and out with the young master.

Seeing Song Tianlin's sore face, Su Xiaoniang guessed that this person is not only a country bumpkin, but also very poor. I am afraid that if there is no young master to take care of him, he would have to beg on the street now.

Don't look at the disdain on Su Xiaoniang's face, but Su Xiaoniang is actually fascinated by these lively scenes.

You have to know that she a year ago was just a little girl who couldn't even afford better cloth, and always had an inexplicable sense of pride towards those who were inferior to her! ?

Facing this country bumpkin, Su Xiaoniang has a sense of superiority in her bones, after all, no matter what she is, she is also a girl born and raised in Suzhou.

Most of the shops are centered on the tall city tower, and there are row upon row of houses on both sides, including teahouses, restaurants, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses and so on.

The shops specialize in silks and satins, jewelry and spices, incense, paper horses, etc. In addition, there are medical clinics, cart repairs, fortune-telling, facial repairs, and cosmetic surgery. "Lou Huanmen", hanging banners to attract business, pedestrians in the market, shoulder to shoulder, in an endless stream.

Li Baihang was not very talkative, Song Tianlin was making a lot of fuss along the way, Su Xiaoniang excitedly explained to this country bumpkin from afar, caring and serious.

The three of them saw a juggling troupe, a girl who was about the same age as Su Xiaoniang, surrounded by the crowd, and after doing several somersaults, she spewed a lot of fire from her mouth! !

"Wow, this is really amazing. Since she can spit out fire from her mouth, she will just swallow it!"

"What's the fuss about it... We have it here every year, and the fire here is not to be swallowed. If you come next time, maybe the teacher will explain it, but if you don't learn it, you don't know. I Take you to see it, and you will know it at a glance!"

"Really, okay, okay, if I have a chance next time, I will definitely go to see it again, and I will scare others when I learn it in the future!"

Su Xiaoniang curled her lips in disdain, she is useless.

"Wow, this lantern is so exquisite, wow, there are rabbits, it's so cute!!" Song Tianlin looked at the exquisite rabbit lantern, his whole heart was pounding.

Song Tianlin felt that the exquisite rabbit lantern in front of him was also very similar to the girl in front of him.Hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and somewhat arrogant, the most important thing is human beauty.

"Hmph, what's the matter!" Su Xiaoniang interrupted again, showing her sense of superiority: "I can tell you, Nicole has never seen lanterns on the Lantern Festival at night, and the moat is full of such lanterns. And candles, like fireflies and stars!"

"At that time, there were more people coming and going than now, and it was fun! And there were lantern riddles to guess...the rewards every time were very generous!!"

"Next time I have an opportunity, I will definitely not miss it!!" Song Tianlin looked at the arrogant girl beside him.

Li Baihang didn't say much the whole time, but only occasionally said a few words.

Tianlin is smart, but he has never understood the dangers of the human heart, and still needs to be tempered and grown.

There are merchants doing business, gentry looking at the street scene, officials on horseback, peddlers, family members in sedan chairs, traveling monks with baskets on their backs, tourists from other places asking for directions, and streets where people listen to books. Xiang Xiaoer, there are wealthy children drinking in restaurants, disabled old people begging on the edge of the city, men, women, old and young, scholars, farmers, businessmen, all kinds of teachings and nine schools, and they are all prepared for everything.

The three of them passed by the small stall, and Su Xiaoniang gradually stopped walking as she looked at the beautifully carved hairpins and gadgets on the stall.

Li Baihang also looked at the thing in front of him, very surprised: "It's really rare, there are such good sculptures now!"

The stall was set up by an old man, about 60 or [-] years old. The old man said with a smile: "You still know the goods! You are old, and the children in the family don't do this business. I am afraid that one day they will die!!"

The art of bone carving is indeed a unique inheritance in Suzhou and Hangzhou. The carved products can be expensive jade sandalwood, rare agate and jadeite.It can also be a piece of ordinary wood, or a fish bone.

Li Baihang thought about his nephew, his mother and sister in the capital, so he stopped to choose. This item is auspicious, and it would be good to buy it and send it to your family.

In Su Xiaoniang's hand was a carved wooden one, which was carved with orchids. It could be seen that the old man's kung fu was extremely agile.

Su Xiaoniang held it and made gestures on her head, with a smile on her face, as if she was also very satisfied.

Song Tianlin noticed the girl's movements, and felt that this orchid sculpture was a perfect match for Su Xiaoniang.

Su Xiaoniang asked the old man, "How much is this hairpin?"

The old man laughed: "This hairpin is not expensive, the girl has good eyesight, it is carved from jade sandalwood, 15 taels of silver!"

Su Xiaoniang's face froze immediately, she didn't expect that she would get a hairpin carved from jade sandalwood, although the price was reasonable.But it's not a small price.

You must know that Su Xiaoniang can only spend 20 taels of silver from the house every month. Before that, even if the two sisters had 20 taels of silver a year, they would have dreamed of it.

After all, Su Xiaoniang has lived a hard life. She is usually impetuous and spends money for food and clothing.
