Mu Sheng took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Yun Xi.

"If you just want to buy some small things, the money here should be enough."

"Thank you, husband."

Yun Xi took the wallet and shook it. There should be a few taels of silver in it.

She accepted the purse purely to protect Mu Sheng's self-esteem. She felt Mu Sheng's embarrassment.

In fact, Yun Xi was a little confused. How could the General's Mansion be so poor? But she was not curious enough to explore it. Their relationship was not close enough to dig deep into the secrets.

After breakfast, Mu Sheng went to the yamen, and Yun Xi also went out with two maids.

The environment here is quite relaxed, there are not too many restrictions on women going out, and there is no perverted rule such as wearing a veil. There are many women on the street, including young women and women with children.

Walking on the street, Yun Xi found everything new and interesting.

The street that Chunmei and Qiuye took her to visit was the most famous "commercial street" in the capital. There were shops lining both sides of the street, and in the open areas there were small stalls selling snacks, such as steamed buns, pancakes, and some unnamed pastries.

She watched the people coming and going, listened to the vendors' hard calls, and the world before her eyes became more and more real.

And she, in this bustling street market, felt unprecedented loneliness.

She suddenly missed home and wanted to cry.

Yun Xi's emotions came and went quickly, and she quickly adjusted herself. She was such a grown-up, how could she cry in the street?

Chunmei and Qiuye were confused. They had just seen the lady's lips tightly closed, the corners of her mouth drooping, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. Her whole body exuded a sense of sadness. The two looked at each other and were about to go forward to comfort her when they saw the lady close her eyes and then return to normal.

Chunmei and Qiuye were two very perceptive maids. Seeing that Yunxi was fine, they stopped talking about what happened. However, the two silent people suddenly became talkative and started to introduce the shops on both sides to Yunxi. In fact, they didn't know much about it. It was more like a discussion out of curiosity than an introduction.

Yun Xi happened to not understand either, so she joined in the discussion.

[This store looks very grand, the things sold in it must be very expensive. ]

[There are so many people in this store. It seems that their products must be good, otherwise why would so many people come to buy them? ]

【…】

The conversation was lively, but Yun Xi didn't go in. She had no interest in these things.

Finally, Yun Xi entered a grocery store.

If you want to understand the basic situation of a society, the best choice is to go to a grocery store.

The waiter spoke eloquently, saying that their store had the most complete range of items, and if there was something they didn't have, other stores wouldn't have it either.

"Some of these things are consigned to our store by merchants from the north and south. I don't even know what they are."

Perhaps fearing a nagging question, the second brother added: "Of course, I was talking about groceries, not anything else."

Yun Xi bought some seeds and seasonings.

After leaving the grocery store, she strolled into a bookstore, picked out a few books of miscellaneous notes and unofficial history, and took them home to relieve her boredom.

When she got home, it was almost lunch time. Mu Sheng was not coming back at noon, so Yun Xi asked the kitchen to make her a bowl of sauerkraut noodles. She took the time to teach the cook, without demonstrating, but she just talked about it. Unexpectedly, the cook had a good understanding and the sauerkraut noodles she made tasted quite good.

After lunch, Yun Xi rested for a while and said to Chun Mei, "I'm going to take a nap. You two should go and have a rest too."

"Yes."

The two men helped Yun Xi change her clothes, waited for her to get on the bed, and lowered the curtains before leaving.
