Chapter 009 Shopping Together
"Second young lady, what about these things?" Mei Xinger looked at the gifts she took back and showed an embarrassed expression, "I'm afraid the old lady's face won't look good if you take them back like this?"
Lin Ziqin also felt uncomfortable. Thinking of what happened just now, she couldn't help but be annoy, "What's wrong with the Hai family? The second sister-in-law Gui Ning went back and didn't even see an elder. When the two ladies came out, their attitude was not salty..."
As soon as he spoke, he felt a little inappropriate. He looked at Hyman and explained, "Second sister-in-law, I didn't mean to slander your mother's family, but I felt uncomfortable..."
"I know!" Hyman patted her on the head and smiled, "You can say whatever you want. Don't worry so much. I'm not from the Hai family anymore..."
She said this for herself and for the original owner of this body. In fact, the Hai family made her feel more relaxed, with a lot less fetters and more freedom, which was exactly what she wanted. But I don't know why, somewhere in my heart is faintly sour and a little lonely. Is this her emotion? Or the remaining emotions of the original owner of this body?
"Yes, my second sister-in-law is now from our Lin family." Lin Ziqin also heard a touch of sadness, leaned over to her and took her arm affectionately. "Second sister-in-law, if I treat you well with me in the future, you can treat me as your own sister!"
"There are also slaves!" Mei Xinger also leaned against her intimately, "I will serve you well, second young lady!"
Hyman looked at the two of them and nodded with relief, "Well, thank you!"
Qi Wenhao has been following the carriage and listening to their words. At this time, he can best understand Hyman's mood. Speaking of how similar his situation is to Hyman's, he is all under the shelter of others and hesitant. Although Master Lin is good to him, after all, he is not his own home. Without a complete sense of belonging, he can't settle down.
"Sister-in, sister Ziqin, why don't we leave the carriages and horses and go around!" He suppressed his lonely mood and said to the car window, "Anyway, it's still early. I'm not busy going back home."
His proposal was in line with Hyman's intention, and she immediately agreed, "Okay, I'm also trying to breathe!"
Lin Ziqin and Mei Xinger are already very playful, and some of them naturally do not refuse to play and readily agree.
"I think it's better to sell these things or buy them. Anyway, it doesn't look good to take them back." Hyman looked at the gifts in the car and pondered for a long time, and suddenly proposed, "Don't tell the old man and his wife what happened in Hai's house just now. Just say that everything is fine and don't add a block to the old man's heart!"
Qi Wenhao looked at Hyman with some admiration, "That's good! These things are specially prepared by my uncle. They are worth a lot of money. If they are not cost-effective, just take them to the store and let them out cheaper. I'll go about this matter. I happen to recognize the shopkeepers of several stores!"
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you!" Perhaps it was an illusion that Hyman saw a little doting from Qi Wenhao's eyes, and his mind flashed, and he couldn't help avoiding his eyes and saying.
Qi Wenhao looked like a scholar, but he was very good at doing things. Soon after, he took the driver to give up those gifts and sold 200 taels of silver and gave them all to Haiman.
Hyman did not refuse. He took it and divided it into five parts, and kept one for himself, Qi Wenhao, Lin Ziqin, Mei Xinger and the driver each. Qi Wenhao and Lin Ziqin did not respond. Mei Xinger and the driver were flattered and hesitated not to pick up the money. "Second Young Grandma, do you really want to give us this money?"
"If you see it, go shopping later and buy something you like!" Hyman said boldly that the money was not hers, and she was not distressed.
Seeing that the two people were still hesitating, Qi Wenhao interrupted with a smile, "The second young lady rewarded you, just accept it. You have worked hard today. You deserve it!"
"Yes, then we will accept it. Thank you, Miss, and thank you, young master!" Qi Wenhao still can speak. Mei Xinger and the driver thanked him repeatedly and happily accepted it. Forty taels of silver is more than their monthly money in a year. It seems that it's the right way to go out with the second young lady this time. Good luck.
Qi Wenhao ordered the driver to stay and watch the carriage, while the others began to go shopping happily. Walking slowly along the street, Hyman learned from everyone's gossip that her current country is Taici, a country not recorded in history books. This city is Qingshan City, which is the imperial capital of Taici Kingdom. Whether it is dress or behavior, it is a little similar to the Tang Dynasty, which is relatively open compared with ordinary ancient times.
Sure enough, it is much deeper to integrate into this society than to listen to others. Lin Ziqin and Mei Xinger are like two caged birds, shuttling between shops and stalls. Haiman pays attention to the clothes of pedestrians and selects and jewelry stores to stop, but they don't buy much. Most of them are asking for prices. She is going to open her own store in the future. She must first understand the prices of this era and people's consumption level.
Seeing that she was very focused and did not disturb her, Qi Wenhao followed her silently. Although the time together is still short, he increasingly feels that this cousin is different from others. Whether it is her style or her speech and manner, she reveals a unique temperament, which makes him feel very novel. Watching her quietly like this also has an indescribable pleasure.
Thinking about it, Hyman stopped at a tailor's shop and went in to talk to the shopkeeper. Of course, she is not here to make clothes. She mainly inquires about things. She needs to know how much it takes to open such a tailor shop and how it works.
After asking about the matter, she stepped out of the tailor's shop. One was inadright and was hit by someone. If it hadn't been for Qi Wenhao's quick hand, she would have hit the doorpost.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" It was a woman who bumped into Haiman, 16 or 17 years old, dressed in strong clothes and holding a long sword in her hand. She was thought to be a daughter of the world. She looked a little flustered and looked back while apologizing.
"It doesn't matter!" Hyman stood firm and smiled faintly.
"Hight!" A blue-shirted man ran over quickly from the crowd, obviously for the woman.
Sure enough, the woman saw him pull his legs and run forward again.
Hyman felt that the man in blue seemed to turn his head and look at himself when he passed by, but his speed was too fast. She didn't see it clearly, but just felt two sharp eyes sweeping across her face.
After all, it was a ceremonial ancient times. A man was desperate to chase a woman, which was definitely a suspicious new thing. Pedestrians couldn't help but stop to watch, and the two people disappeared and were still pointing.
For Hyman, this is just a small episode and does not affect her interest in planning for the future. Unconsciously, it was noon. Everyone was hungry and tired, so they went into a restaurant, asked for an elegant room, and ordered some food to eat.
Although Mei Xinger got 40 taels of silver, she was used to living a hard life and was reluctant to spend money. She only bought a box of rouge and a few cheap accessories. Lin Ziqin bought a lot of them, all of which were novel and delicious, and 40 taels of silver were spent. Hyman only bought two things, a pair of cute children's shoes, and a novel embroidered purse. She mainly wanted to take it back to study the practice and embroidery method.
After dinner and drinking tea for a while, Qi Wenhao got up and stood up. "I don't think it's early, and it's time to go home. Why don't you sit here for a moment? I'll ask the driver to pick you up, so that I don't have to go many wrong roads.
Probably because he is still weak, Hayman is indeed a little weak after wandering around for half a morning. If this were before, it wouldn't be a problem to go shopping all day. She is a famous shopping goddess. Lin Ziqin and Mei Xinger naturally also want to have a light province, so Qi Wenhao went.
After more than half an hour, Qi Wenhao turned back and asked them to go out to take a bus. When Hyman got on the car, he found that there were many things on the car, which looked like gifts and were very valuable. This should be bought by Qi Wenhao, right? He didn't buy anything when he went shopping just now. He thought it was inconvenient in front of her, so he bought it when he went out.
Qi Wenhao seemed to see through her mind and smiled, "According to the rules, the married daughter Gui Ning, and her mother's family will return the gift. If we go back empty-handed, my uncle will be suspicious, and my cousin-in-law is not good-looking. So I bought these on my own initiative, but I have inquired about it in advance, and the number of gifts should not be wrong.
Hayman was a little moved when he heard this. The young master looked calm, but it turned out that he was a thoughtful person.
"Thank you!" She sincerely thanked him, "How much did these things cost? I'll pay you back..."
Qi Wenhao smiled and said, "My cousin-in-law is too polite. She is a family. What did you say that she hasn't returned? If you really don't like it, just make a dress for me!"
Hyman was stunned for a moment. How did he know that he would make clothes? Then he nodded, "Okay!"
