Song female man
Chapter 94
On the night of moving to the new house, Xie Erniang did not agree to Shunniang's happy request. She said that she was a little tired and wanted to wait a while.
Shunniang couldn't understand, since they moved into such a spacious and tidy house, and they didn't worry about anyone hearing anything, logically speaking, shouldn't the two of them be happy now?Could it be that the lady is really tired from moving, so she doesn't want to.However, coming all the way from Yangliu Town, it seems that the lady didn't bring anything, she just carried a small bag with her jewelry inside, and when she arrived at Bianliang City in a bullock cart, it was also helped by the guys from the Song Family Store. move things.Then when the moving was over, Erniang Xie went to make the bed, took out the clothes in the package and put them back in the box.This kind of work should be nothing to Xie Erniang who is used to doing housework, but she...
Dejected, she fell down next to Xie Erniang, Shunniang put her hands under her head, looked at the ceiling, always felt that she had spent a lot of effort to prepare, thought she could please the lady and make her as happy as herself, but in the end , but it was disappointing.
Xie Erniang seemed to hear Shunniang's sigh in the dark, and she couldn't bear it, but she still didn't move, because she really felt that living in Sister Song Yu's house, she couldn't be happy, and her rejection of Shunniang just now was just an excuse. She is not physically tired, just mentally tired.
What should I say to Shunniang? I have already said so much before dinner. Shunniang just asked her to believe her and stop thinking about it. If such a topic is brought up again, Shunniang must be bored.Hey, I hope that I am paranoid, maybe I will feel better after I wake up, and I can live my life according to Shunniang's hope.
When she woke up the next day, Shunniang was busy with a lot of things, and the unhappiness of not living as a wife with Xie Erniang last night was quickly put to the back of her mind.Although we moved into the city, delivering bean sprouts saves a lot of time on the road, but the hired workers in the outer courtyard and Shun Niang still get up early at the time when Xie's family slaughtered pigs, and they are also used to getting up at this time .As for Xie Erniang and the others, Shunniang said at dinner last night that they don't have to get up so early in the future, because the outer courtyard hired Mrs. Yi to cook, and Heiwa and Qu Dalang all moved into the outer courtyard Stay, they can do things like soaking bean sprouts and harvesting bean sprouts in the future.
When Liu heard this, she smiled and said, "That's great. I don't have to hear pigs screaming in the middle of the night, and then I can't fall asleep."
What I didn't expect was that Shun Niang and others didn't hear the pig cry the next day, but she would wake up at Chou Shi.
Shunniang had something to do, so she got up and put on her clothes, combed her hair, put on her hat and went out. Xie Erniang, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Qi and others were left tossing and turning on the bed, neither sleeping nor getting up. However, the more than two hours from Choushi to Tianmingmaoshi felt difficult.
There is a small kitchen in the inner courtyard, Xie Erniang and Qi Shi finally couldn't bear it at dawn, and went to the kitchen to cook together.
But now there is only Mrs. Liu in the inner house, the two of them, and the two children are eating at home, and they can't cook much. Xie Erniang and Mrs. Qi worked together and quickly finished the meal.If Shun Niang is free at home, she may need to cook one or two more dishes.
After making tea, the two went to wait for Mrs. Liu to get up. After entering, they found that her mother-in-law had woken up early and was cleaning the house there. The daughter-in-law will clean up after a while.
But Mrs. Liu waved her hands and said, "It's better for me to clean up this house myself, otherwise this day will be difficult. Now that I'm in the city, there are no neighbors to move around, especially Mrs. Ke's place." , I can’t open my eyes early this morning and I’m not feeling well.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Qi suggested to her mother-in-law that if she didn't eat, she would go to this street for a stroll, to see what was strange, and maybe to know a few neighbors, so she could walk around in the future.
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was still a little moved, so she said, "When Shunniang comes back to have breakfast, tell her, and we'll go out for a walk."
Qi Shi and Xie Erniang said goodbye together.
Shunniang gathered bean sprouts with Heiwa and others in the front yard and loaded them into the car. After checking that they were ready, she went back to the backyard for dinner.At the dinner table, Mrs. Liu talked about going out with her two daughters-in-law, grandson Kecheng and granddaughter Huier for a while, and said that she was going to visit the neighbors. After hearing this, Shunniang said, "There is no need to visit the neighbors. Tomorrow NO.18, I will invite my neighbors to come to my house for a feast, and I will send out the invitations in a short time, and then you will know the neighbors on this street immediately. How about this, when the stone comes, I will let him accompany you Let you go out and take a walk around here, he is familiar with this place, and he is a half-year-old boy, I feel relieved to have him with you."
When Xie Erniang heard the words, she asked Shunniang if Shitou didn't need to send bean sprouts, and Shunniang asked him to go shopping with them.
Shunniang: "Shitou and his father, I plan to ask them to sell charcoal for me. They will come here today. I will clean up the three shops on the right side of the gate, and then buy a large scale to sell some charcoal. If I go to Heshan to buy coal in a month, I will buy a few thousand catties more and come back to pile it up and sell it exclusively to the people in the city. Today I just clean up and clean up, and my father can do it alone if there are stones."
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Liu objected: "Erlang, you can't ask Shitou to sell charcoal with his father. They are father and son. As time goes by, it is inevitable that they will play tricks inside. In the beginning, let them temporarily sell the charcoal. It’s okay to sell it, but in the future, if it sells too much, we have to go to watch the scale and collect the money.”
Not to mention, don't look at Liu Shi who is usually a caring and greedy person, but the suggestion she made today is not without forward-looking.
Shunniang also thought that Mrs. Liu was right, so she stopped drinking porridge and thought about it, then said: "Then who should I call?"
Mrs. Liu and Erniang Xie said together: "Why don't you ask me to go?"
Shunniang glanced at them and shook her head: "Forget it, I don't want you to worry about business matters, otherwise, I'll transfer Qu Dalang to sell charcoal, and Shitou will go with me to the main shops and foot traffic in the city." Shop, try to sell more charcoal and seeds, and I will hire someone to deliver seeds.”
Xie Erniang said: "Why don't I ask my father to send another guy over?"
Shunniang shook her head: "No need, we're going into the city, these small things can be solved by ourselves, why bother your father anymore. Tomorrow I will invite the neighbors on this street to dinner, and I will hire a guy for this." Xin'er revealed that there must be some neighbors on this street who are willing to come to us as a buddy, or some of their relatives are willing to come here. Now that we have entered the city, we should talk more with the people in this city. Neighbors deal with each other."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu and the others thought that Shunniang was right and listened to her arrangement.
After the meal, Shunniang went to buy some invitations, and started to write invitations. She didn't know the neighbors on this street until she moved here, so she didn't sign the invitations, but just wrote a rough outline. dozens of sheets.When Shitou and his father arrived with their simple packages, she took the two father and son to live in the house arranged for them, and then called Shitou and asked him to walk from the end of Zaoshu Street with the stack of invitations. Send them off, send them all the way to the end of the street, tell them that Xi's family has just moved here, and specially invite them to a banquet tomorrow, so that they can get to know each other...
Shitou received the invitation, and went there for more than an hour, and it was almost noon when he came back. She told Shunniang that he had sent out all the invitations, and told the owners of each household what the Xi family does , Who invited them to dinner at home, and the vast majority of people said they would arrive at noon tomorrow, and a few said they couldn't leave, but they would visit Shunniang when they had time.
Shunniang praised Shitou for doing a good job and asked him to rest. After lunch, she assigned him some work.
Shitou asked what it was, and Niang Shun said that her mother, wife, and sister-in-law wanted to go for a stroll around this street to broaden their horizons, and originally planned to go in the morning, but Shitou was busy delivering invitations in the morning.
"That's great. No one is more familiar with Bianliang City than me. I like to take my host's wife, sister-in-law, old lady, nephew and niece to go shopping." Shitou said happily when he heard it.
"Why don't you call me second brother? And why do you like to take my mother, wife and sister-in-law to go shopping?" Shunniang asked curiously.
Shitou said that Shunniang's family is big now, so it's not appropriate to call her second elder brother, but to call her boss with others.
Shunniang laughed: "What kind of big business is this? Don't flatter me."
Shitou also laughed, and said, "Boss, don't you call your family a big business? You rent a house for fifteen months, and five or six people under your command work with you, and your seed and business are getting better and better. Big, my dad said that you must be a rich man in the future, and we can do nothing wrong with you. There are not many people who can compare with you on this street. I just went to see it. There are 67 households on this street. Among them, there are only two families who belong to the second courtyard, and they are probably either officials or businessmen, and the rest are primary courtyards, and they are ordinary people who live in this city."
Shunniang said: "But they own the house, I rent it."
Shitou: "Not necessarily. Some people's houses are just inherited from their ancestors, and some people also rent them. Therefore, I said that you, my boss, are also the most famous people on this street."
Shunniang told Shitou to stop praising herself. She thought about it and asked Shitou before she asked him to deliver the invitation. Where are the two families he saw living in the second courtyard, and what is the last name of the owner?
Shitou scratched his head, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The family is the third from the beginning on Zaoshu Street, and the owner's family name is Zhuo. There is another family in the diagonally opposite door of the owner's rented yard, and the family name is Dai. Both families I promised to come to the banquet at noon tomorrow."
Shunniang nodded and said that she understood. She said that tomorrow she would invite the chef who made the banquet, and Shitou and his father would help out at that time. Then she asked Shitou to eat first, and take a rest after eating. When people go out for a while, she will ask Shitou to accompany them.
Stone readily agreed, and then turned around and left.
After arranging this series of things, Shunniang had a delicious lunch. She told Mrs. Liu and the others at the table that Shitou was delayed in sending invitations to the neighbors on this street in the morning, and he would be able to accompany them to go shopping in the afternoon. .If they were in a hurry, they could go to the outer courtyard and look for Shitou in the third room of the third room after dinner. She had already told Shitou to go with them after lunch, and they only needed to call him.As for herself, it is rare for her to be free, so she will take a nap in a while, and when she wakes up, she will go to the chef of the small foot restaurant who will be invited to cook tomorrow, and discuss with him how many tables will be cooked tomorrow and what dishes to cook.
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu said excitedly: "Let's go after lunch. It's a good day, the sun is not so big, it's like the sunny spring in March, it's just right to go for a stroll."
Shunniang asked Xie Erniang to go out and bring some money, and when she saw what her mother and sister-in-law wanted to buy, she bought it.
Since Mrs. Liu gave up the housekeeper, Shun Niang and Er Niang Xie took care of all the family's income, so whenever she went shopping, Er Niang Xie, who was with her, paid the bill.
"Okay, officer." Xie Erniang immediately got up and left the small dining room next to the kitchen, and went back to her room to get the money.
Mrs. Qi got up to clean up the dishes and wash the dishes. Mrs. Shun came out with her mother. Mrs. Liu said that she went back to her room to comb her hair and change out of the clothes she had gone out. Mrs. Shun went back to her room and went upstairs.
After entering the bedroom, Shunniang took off the outer clothes and went to bed on her side, while Xie Erniang was opening the box to find out the outer clothes to wear.
She took out several pieces and asked Shun Niang to see which color would be better.
Shunniang said: "The lady is beautiful, it's better to wear plain clothes when going out, so as not to attract attention, and it would be bad to provoke lustful dudes."
When Xie Erniang heard this, she said that she should choose the pine color and wear it, and put on the veiled hat, so that people would see her.
Shunniang nodded, and asked her to tell her sister-in-law to find a hat to put on, so as not to cause trouble. After all, this Bianliang city is under the feet of officials, and there are many high-ranking officials. offended people.
"Okay, officer, don't worry, we won't cause trouble for you when we go out."
"That's good, pack it up, let's go, by the way, how much money did you bring?"
"Three strokes."
"That's enough, you can ask Shitou to take you for a stroll around Zaoshu Street, don't go too far, after a few days to settle down, I will rent a donkey cart for a long time at home, and let Shitou accompany you there Take a walk somewhere farther away."
"Ah."
Xie Erniang agreed, and went to put on the dress that Shunniang had picked out, and then went to face the mirror to do her makeup. After tidying up, she went to the bed where Shunniang was sleeping, and bowed her head in the drowsy sleepy bed with her eyes closed. Shun Niang kissed her eyes.
Shunniang felt the lady's soft lips touching her eyelids, and she felt good, but she was too sleepy and didn't want to open her eyes, so she just hummed.
Even though Shunniang didn't say a word, Xie Erniang knew what she meant, which meant that she knew that she was going to leave, and then she could leave.
With a smile on her lips, Xie Erniang straightened up, went to the black lacquered table in the room to pick up the small bag containing three pennies of money, walked lightly, and went downstairs with her skirt in hand.
When she got downstairs, she went out to find her sister-in-law, Qi Shi. Seeing that she was still cleaning up, she waited for her for a while.
Qi didn't need to be reminded by Xie Erniang, she dressed more plainly when she went out, only wearing a sky blue beige and dress after the rain, and except for a silver hairpin on her head, she had no other jewelry.As for the veiled hat, it was something she always kept when she went out.In the past, except for shopping in Yangliu Town, she didn't wear a veiled hat when she went out. When she went to a little farther place, there was no one who didn't wear a veiled hat, even in May and June.Now that they have entered Bianliang City, it is still in autumn when the weather is just right, so there is no reason for the Qi family not to wear a veiled hat.
After changing the clothes by himself, Mrs. Qi went to change the clothes for the two children to go out with clean ones, and then took a child with Xie Erniang, went out to the mother-in-law's house, found Mrs. Liu, and they went out together. In the inner courtyard, go to the outer courtyard to find Shi Shi who has also changed into clean clothes, and he goes out with him.
Zaoshu Street is only a few dozen families from head to toe. It is considered a small street in Bianliang City, and it is not located in the main commercial area. There are some shops on the street that sell only the daily necessities of ordinary people. Supplies, such as rice noodles, oil sauce, fruits and vegetables, and medical clinics. There are also two small foot shops selling breakfast noodles and the like.
Liu Shi and the others walked around, probably feeling that there was nothing to see, so Shi Shi took them to look at the more lively adjacent streets.
Shitou said, the street behind Zaoshu Street called Shimo Street is big and busy, and there are all kinds of things sold, why not go there for a stroll.
Mrs. Liu let Shitou lead the way, and Shitou crossed the streets and alleys in front, and led them to Shimo Street in the back, which was twice as long as Zaoshu Street in terms of length and width.
As expected, Shimo Street was very lively, crowded with people, shoulders rubbing each other, and shops lined up everywhere.
Mrs. Liu and the others were very interested, so they looked one by one, and found that the shops on this street sold ready-made clothes, spices, porcelain, all kinds of food, vegetables and fruits, snacks and dried fruits, butcher shops, and Herbal medicine shops, fan shops, shoe shops, embroidery workshops, and car rental shops, no matter the type and quality of the goods, are much better than Zaoshu Street.As long as you come to this street, you can probably buy everything a housewife needs to buy on weekdays.It is no wonder that there are so many people here. It is estimated that housewives from several nearby streets come to Shimo Street for shopping on weekdays.
Xie Erniang pays special attention to what is sold on this street, because now she and Shunniang are in charge of the money and housekeeping, and she should worry about buying the Xi family's food and clothing, as well as various supplies.She must know in her heart, which things are of good quality and relatively cheap, and where these things are sold, and then keep it in her heart, so that when she wants to buy it, she won't be blindsided and don't know anything.
On Shimo Street, Mrs. Liu and others walked for more than an hour before walking from the end of the street to the end of the street.
Watching the setting sun fall in the west, Mrs. Liu beat her legs and said that she was tired from walking today and had seen enough, and it was time to go back and rest. She let the stone lead the way, and led them to find an alley and take a shortcut to go home.
Shitou smiled and said yes, and then took them back by taking a shortcut. However, when he turned around, he suddenly pointed to a big house with a black lacquered gate and a bronze animal head on the gate, and said: "Ms. Song's parents and children I live in this house, in the past, when my boss and I passed by here, she told me."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu looked back, and after seeing it, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Such a big house, and it's on Shimo Street, must be worth a lot of money. This lady Song is really rich. The jujube we rented The house on Tree Street is worth twelve to three hundred guan, shouldn't this house be worth more?"
Shitou: "Ms. Song's Songjia Zhengdian is making money every day. After a year, it's no problem to buy a few houses like this."
"Ah!" Mrs. Liu was so startled that her jaw almost dropped, she stared at the big mansion for a long time, and only let out a simple exclamation of "tsk tsk tsk".
Mrs. Qi and Erniang Xie were also looking at the magnificent mansion where Sister Song Yu's parents and son lived, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Sister Song Yu, the Qi family has seen it before. At that time, Shun Niang started to do the seed business. For the first time, she rented a bullock cart and went back to Yangliu Town. Then she brought her, her mother-in-law, and two children to Bianliang City to start the business. Vision, and then she saw Mrs. Song, and Mrs. Song invited Xi's family into the shop for tea and fruit for the children.
When seeing Sister Song Yu for the first time, the Qi family felt ashamed, because Mrs. Song was not only beautiful, but also carried a sense of confidence and nobility in her gestures.From Sister Song Yu's enthusiasm for Shunniang, she could also feel that Sister Song Yu liked Shunniang.At that time, she was jealous, even though she knew that Sister Song Yu probably liked Shun Niang as a man.
Sister Song Yu is wealthy, beautiful, and charming. It is estimated that there are very few men who would not like her for such a woman.
Qi knows that Shunniang also likes her.
It was only later that Sister Song Yu was entangled in the Han Yamen, and she broke off contact with Shunniang. Later, Shunniang fell in love with Xie Erniang, and the two became married.
As for her, she also had a relationship with Liang Erniang, and they were deeply in love with each other. Her concern for Shunniang faded, and her jealousy for Sister Song Yu also faded.
In the past, I only saw the main store owned by Sister Song Yu, and the business was booming, and the Qi family was not without envy, but until I entered the city and lived in the second courtyard that Sister Song Yu rented to Shunniang, I knew how much it was worth, and at this moment After seeing the big house where Sister Song Yu's parents and son lived in Shimo Street, she had a concrete and profound understanding of how rich Sister Song Yu was.
Sister Song Yu is rich and beautiful, Qi's is ashamed and feels inferior.
She sighed secretly in her heart, and then suddenly thought that Xie Erniang is now Shunniang's wife, what would she think when she saw the house where the beautiful and rich Sister Song Yu's parents who were interested in Shunniang used to live?Will Xie Erniang feel as uncomfortable as herself, or even worse than herself?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu turned to look at Erniang Xie who was standing beside her. Through the tulle on the veiled hat, she seemed to see Erniang Xie pursed her lips.
"Hey, let's go, let's go, don't look, let's go back quickly, Dalang's daughter-in-law, Erlang's daughter-in-law, Erlang is still at home waiting for dinner, we can't let her cook for us." Liu replied first Come to God, call Qi Shi and Xie Erniang to go back.
The two children were also complaining that they were hungry and tired.
Mrs. Qi picked up Kecheng, Mrs. Xie picked up Hui'er, Mrs. Liu took some food she had bought, and Shi Shi led the way with several bags on her shoulders. Inside the bags were some ready-made clothes and fragrances bought by Mrs. Liu and others when they went shopping. Pink shoes etc.
Zaoshu Street and Shipan Street are two adjacent streets, and Shitou took the Xi family to take a shortcut, so after walking for more than a quarter of an hour, they returned to the second courtyard where the Xi family rented.
After entering the courtyard, everyone saw a handsome six or seven-year-old Xiao Langjun wearing silk clothes, playing with puppets and fighting with Qu Dalang's four-year-old son Qu Fu.
"Who is that little gentleman?" Upon seeing him, Mrs. Liu first asked Mrs. Yi, Mrs. Qu Dalang, who was standing in the yard smiling and watching the two of them play.
Shunniang couldn't understand, since they moved into such a spacious and tidy house, and they didn't worry about anyone hearing anything, logically speaking, shouldn't the two of them be happy now?Could it be that the lady is really tired from moving, so she doesn't want to.However, coming all the way from Yangliu Town, it seems that the lady didn't bring anything, she just carried a small bag with her jewelry inside, and when she arrived at Bianliang City in a bullock cart, it was also helped by the guys from the Song Family Store. move things.Then when the moving was over, Erniang Xie went to make the bed, took out the clothes in the package and put them back in the box.This kind of work should be nothing to Xie Erniang who is used to doing housework, but she...
Dejected, she fell down next to Xie Erniang, Shunniang put her hands under her head, looked at the ceiling, always felt that she had spent a lot of effort to prepare, thought she could please the lady and make her as happy as herself, but in the end , but it was disappointing.
Xie Erniang seemed to hear Shunniang's sigh in the dark, and she couldn't bear it, but she still didn't move, because she really felt that living in Sister Song Yu's house, she couldn't be happy, and her rejection of Shunniang just now was just an excuse. She is not physically tired, just mentally tired.
What should I say to Shunniang? I have already said so much before dinner. Shunniang just asked her to believe her and stop thinking about it. If such a topic is brought up again, Shunniang must be bored.Hey, I hope that I am paranoid, maybe I will feel better after I wake up, and I can live my life according to Shunniang's hope.
When she woke up the next day, Shunniang was busy with a lot of things, and the unhappiness of not living as a wife with Xie Erniang last night was quickly put to the back of her mind.Although we moved into the city, delivering bean sprouts saves a lot of time on the road, but the hired workers in the outer courtyard and Shun Niang still get up early at the time when Xie's family slaughtered pigs, and they are also used to getting up at this time .As for Xie Erniang and the others, Shunniang said at dinner last night that they don't have to get up so early in the future, because the outer courtyard hired Mrs. Yi to cook, and Heiwa and Qu Dalang all moved into the outer courtyard Stay, they can do things like soaking bean sprouts and harvesting bean sprouts in the future.

Shunniang had something to do, so she got up and put on her clothes, combed her hair, put on her hat and went out. Xie Erniang, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Qi and others were left tossing and turning on the bed, neither sleeping nor getting up. However, the more than two hours from Choushi to Tianmingmaoshi felt difficult.
There is a small kitchen in the inner courtyard, Xie Erniang and Qi Shi finally couldn't bear it at dawn, and went to the kitchen to cook together.

Shitou asked what it was, and Niang Shun said that her mother, wife, and sister-in-law wanted to go for a stroll around this street to broaden their horizons, and originally planned to go in the morning, but Shitou was busy delivering invitations in the morning.
"That's great. No one is more familiar with Bianliang City than me. I like to take my host's wife, sister-in-law, old lady, nephew and niece to go shopping." Shitou said happily when he heard it.
"Why don't you call me second brother? And why do you like to take my mother, wife and sister-in-law to go shopping?" Shunniang asked curiously.
Shitou said that Shunniang's family is big now, so it's not appropriate to call her second elder brother, but to call her boss with others.
Shunniang laughed: "What kind of big business is this? Don't flatter me."
Shitou also laughed, and said, "Boss, don't you call your family a big business? You rent a house for fifteen months, and five or six people under your command work with you, and your seed and business are getting better and better. Big, my dad said that you must be a rich man in the future, and we can do nothing wrong with you. There are not many people who can compare with you on this street. I just went to see it. There are 67 households on this street. Among them, there are only two families who belong to the second courtyard, and they are probably either officials or businessmen, and the rest are primary courtyards, and they are ordinary people who live in this city."
Shunniang said: "But they own the house, I rent it."
Shitou: "Not necessarily. Some people's houses are just inherited from their ancestors, and some people also rent them. Therefore, I said that you, my boss, are also the most famous people on this street."
Shunniang told Shitou to stop praising herself. She thought about it and asked Shitou before she asked him to deliver the invitation. Where are the two families he saw living in the second courtyard, and what is the last name of the owner?
Shitou scratched his head, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The family is the third from the beginning on Zaoshu Street, and the owner's family name is Zhuo. There is another family in the diagonally opposite door of the owner's rented yard, and the family name is Dai. Both families I promised to come to the banquet at noon tomorrow."
Shunniang nodded and said that she understood. She said that tomorrow she would invite the chef who made the banquet, and Shitou and his father would help out at that time. Then she asked Shitou to eat first, and take a rest after eating. When people go out for a while, she will ask Shitou to accompany them.
Stone readily agreed, and then turned around and left.
After arranging this series of things, Shunniang had a delicious lunch. She told Mrs. Liu and the others at the table that Shitou was delayed in sending invitations to the neighbors on this street in the morning, and he would be able to accompany them to go shopping in the afternoon. .If they were in a hurry, they could go to the outer courtyard and look for Shitou in the third room of the third room after dinner. She had already told Shitou to go with them after lunch, and they only needed to call him.As for herself, it is rare for her to be free, so she will take a nap in a while, and when she wakes up, she will go to the chef of the small foot restaurant who will be invited to cook tomorrow, and discuss with him how many tables will be cooked tomorrow and what dishes to cook.
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu said excitedly: "Let's go after lunch. It's a good day, the sun is not so big, it's like the sunny spring in March, it's just right to go for a stroll."
Shunniang asked Xie Erniang to go out and bring some money, and when she saw what her mother and sister-in-law wanted to buy, she bought it.
Since Mrs. Liu gave up the housekeeper, Shun Niang and Er Niang Xie took care of all the family's income, so whenever she went shopping, Er Niang Xie, who was with her, paid the bill.
"Okay, officer." Xie Erniang immediately got up and left the small dining room next to the kitchen, and went back to her room to get the money.
Mrs. Qi got up to clean up the dishes and wash the dishes. Mrs. Shun came out with her mother. Mrs. Liu said that she went back to her room to comb her hair and change out of the clothes she had gone out. Mrs. Shun went back to her room and went upstairs.
After entering the bedroom, Shunniang took off the outer clothes and went to bed on her side, while Xie Erniang was opening the box to find out the outer clothes to wear.
She took out several pieces and asked Shun Niang to see which color would be better.
Shunniang said: "The lady is beautiful, it's better to wear plain clothes when going out, so as not to attract attention, and it would be bad to provoke lustful dudes."
When Xie Erniang heard this, she said that she should choose the pine color and wear it, and put on the veiled hat, so that people would see her.
Shunniang nodded, and asked her to tell her sister-in-law to find a hat to put on, so as not to cause trouble. After all, this Bianliang city is under the feet of officials, and there are many high-ranking officials. offended people.
"Okay, officer, don't worry, we won't cause trouble for you when we go out."
"That's good, pack it up, let's go, by the way, how much money did you bring?"
"Three strokes."
"That's enough, you can ask Shitou to take you for a stroll around Zaoshu Street, don't go too far, after a few days to settle down, I will rent a donkey cart for a long time at home, and let Shitou accompany you there Take a walk somewhere farther away."
"Ah."
Xie Erniang agreed, and went to put on the dress that Shunniang had picked out, and then went to face the mirror to do her makeup. After tidying up, she went to the bed where Shunniang was sleeping, and bowed her head in the drowsy sleepy bed with her eyes closed. Shun Niang kissed her eyes.
Shunniang felt the lady's soft lips touching her eyelids, and she felt good, but she was too sleepy and didn't want to open her eyes, so she just hummed.
Even though Shunniang didn't say a word, Xie Erniang knew what she meant, which meant that she knew that she was going to leave, and then she could leave.
With a smile on her lips, Xie Erniang straightened up, went to the black lacquered table in the room to pick up the small bag containing three pennies of money, walked lightly, and went downstairs with her skirt in hand.
When she got downstairs, she went out to find her sister-in-law, Qi Shi. Seeing that she was still cleaning up, she waited for her for a while.
Qi didn't need to be reminded by Xie Erniang, she dressed more plainly when she went out, only wearing a sky blue beige and dress after the rain, and except for a silver hairpin on her head, she had no other jewelry.As for the veiled hat, it was something she always kept when she went out.In the past, except for shopping in Yangliu Town, she didn't wear a veiled hat when she went out. When she went to a little farther place, there was no one who didn't wear a veiled hat, even in May and June.Now that they have entered Bianliang City, it is still in autumn when the weather is just right, so there is no reason for the Qi family not to wear a veiled hat.
After changing the clothes by himself, Mrs. Qi went to change the clothes for the two children to go out with clean ones, and then took a child with Xie Erniang, went out to the mother-in-law's house, found Mrs. Liu, and they went out together. In the inner courtyard, go to the outer courtyard to find Shi Shi who has also changed into clean clothes, and he goes out with him.
Zaoshu Street is only a few dozen families from head to toe. It is considered a small street in Bianliang City, and it is not located in the main commercial area. There are some shops on the street that sell only the daily necessities of ordinary people. Supplies, such as rice noodles, oil sauce, fruits and vegetables, and medical clinics. There are also two small foot shops selling breakfast noodles and the like.
Liu Shi and the others walked around, probably feeling that there was nothing to see, so Shi Shi took them to look at the more lively adjacent streets.
Shitou said, the street behind Zaoshu Street called Shimo Street is big and busy, and there are all kinds of things sold, why not go there for a stroll.
Mrs. Liu let Shitou lead the way, and Shitou crossed the streets and alleys in front, and led them to Shimo Street in the back, which was twice as long as Zaoshu Street in terms of length and width.
As expected, Shimo Street was very lively, crowded with people, shoulders rubbing each other, and shops lined up everywhere.
Mrs. Liu and the others were very interested, so they looked one by one, and found that the shops on this street sold ready-made clothes, spices, porcelain, all kinds of food, vegetables and fruits, snacks and dried fruits, butcher shops, and Herbal medicine shops, fan shops, shoe shops, embroidery workshops, and car rental shops, no matter the type and quality of the goods, are much better than Zaoshu Street.As long as you come to this street, you can probably buy everything a housewife needs to buy on weekdays.It is no wonder that there are so many people here. It is estimated that housewives from several nearby streets come to Shimo Street for shopping on weekdays.
Xie Erniang pays special attention to what is sold on this street, because now she and Shunniang are in charge of the money and housekeeping, and she should worry about buying the Xi family's food and clothing, as well as various supplies.She must know in her heart, which things are of good quality and relatively cheap, and where these things are sold, and then keep it in her heart, so that when she wants to buy it, she won't be blindsided and don't know anything.
On Shimo Street, Mrs. Liu and others walked for more than an hour before walking from the end of the street to the end of the street.
Watching the setting sun fall in the west, Mrs. Liu beat her legs and said that she was tired from walking today and had seen enough, and it was time to go back and rest. She let the stone lead the way, and led them to find an alley and take a shortcut to go home.
Shitou smiled and said yes, and then took them back by taking a shortcut. However, when he turned around, he suddenly pointed to a big house with a black lacquered gate and a bronze animal head on the gate, and said: "Ms. Song's parents and children I live in this house, in the past, when my boss and I passed by here, she told me."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu looked back, and after seeing it, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Such a big house, and it's on Shimo Street, must be worth a lot of money. This lady Song is really rich. The jujube we rented The house on Tree Street is worth twelve to three hundred guan, shouldn't this house be worth more?"
Shitou: "Ms. Song's Songjia Zhengdian is making money every day. After a year, it's no problem to buy a few houses like this."
"Ah!" Mrs. Liu was so startled that her jaw almost dropped, she stared at the big mansion for a long time, and only let out a simple exclamation of "tsk tsk tsk".
Mrs. Qi and Erniang Xie were also looking at the magnificent mansion where Sister Song Yu's parents and son lived, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Sister Song Yu, the Qi family has seen it before. At that time, Shun Niang started to do the seed business. For the first time, she rented a bullock cart and went back to Yangliu Town. Then she brought her, her mother-in-law, and two children to Bianliang City to start the business. Vision, and then she saw Mrs. Song, and Mrs. Song invited Xi's family into the shop for tea and fruit for the children.
When seeing Sister Song Yu for the first time, the Qi family felt ashamed, because Mrs. Song was not only beautiful, but also carried a sense of confidence and nobility in her gestures.From Sister Song Yu's enthusiasm for Shunniang, she could also feel that Sister Song Yu liked Shunniang.At that time, she was jealous, even though she knew that Sister Song Yu probably liked Shun Niang as a man.
Sister Song Yu is wealthy, beautiful, and charming. It is estimated that there are very few men who would not like her for such a woman.
Qi knows that Shunniang also likes her.
It was only later that Sister Song Yu was entangled in the Han Yamen, and she broke off contact with Shunniang. Later, Shunniang fell in love with Xie Erniang, and the two became married.
As for her, she also had a relationship with Liang Erniang, and they were deeply in love with each other. Her concern for Shunniang faded, and her jealousy for Sister Song Yu also faded.
In the past, I only saw the main store owned by Sister Song Yu, and the business was booming, and the Qi family was not without envy, but until I entered the city and lived in the second courtyard that Sister Song Yu rented to Shunniang, I knew how much it was worth, and at this moment After seeing the big house where Sister Song Yu's parents and son lived in Shimo Street, she had a concrete and profound understanding of how rich Sister Song Yu was.
Sister Song Yu is rich and beautiful, Qi's is ashamed and feels inferior.
She sighed secretly in her heart, and then suddenly thought that Xie Erniang is now Shunniang's wife, what would she think when she saw the house where the beautiful and rich Sister Song Yu's parents who were interested in Shunniang used to live?Will Xie Erniang feel as uncomfortable as herself, or even worse than herself?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu turned to look at Erniang Xie who was standing beside her. Through the tulle on the veiled hat, she seemed to see Erniang Xie pursed her lips.
"Hey, let's go, let's go, don't look, let's go back quickly, Dalang's daughter-in-law, Erlang's daughter-in-law, Erlang is still at home waiting for dinner, we can't let her cook for us." Liu replied first Come to God, call Qi Shi and Xie Erniang to go back.
The two children were also complaining that they were hungry and tired.
Mrs. Qi picked up Kecheng, Mrs. Xie picked up Hui'er, Mrs. Liu took some food she had bought, and Shi Shi led the way with several bags on her shoulders. Inside the bags were some ready-made clothes and fragrances bought by Mrs. Liu and others when they went shopping. Pink shoes etc.
Zaoshu Street and Shipan Street are two adjacent streets, and Shitou took the Xi family to take a shortcut, so after walking for more than a quarter of an hour, they returned to the second courtyard where the Xi family rented.
After entering the courtyard, everyone saw a handsome six or seven-year-old Xiao Langjun wearing silk clothes, playing with puppets and fighting with Qu Dalang's four-year-old son Qu Fu.
"Who is that little gentleman?" Upon seeing him, Mrs. Liu first asked Mrs. Yi, Mrs. Qu Dalang, who was standing in the yard smiling and watching the two of them play.
