Chapter 228 Who did you see?
As soon as Lin Huazhi got into the carriage, he was busy looking at the injury on his wrist.
It's okay not to look at it. My heart hurts at a glance, that is, my whole body seems to be in pain. The wrist is a circle of black and purple, which is in sharp contrast to the white and tender skin color.
Last time it was the neck, this time it was the wrist. I don't know where the injury will be next time.
Lin Huazhi couldn't help cursing Cui Yuan in her heart. She hurriedly took out the ointment that Jinhou had prepared for her from her purse, carefully wiped it on her wrist, and wrapped it with a veil to tie a knot. Fortunately, this time it's a wrist. As long as you don't raise your hand, you can't see that you have been pinched.
Before coming to Cui's house to see Cui Yuan, Lin Huazhi was ready to be injured. The main reason is that every time she meets Cui Yuan, there will always be some problems and more injuries, and she will have experience. Anyway, she was very happy today and saw Cui Yuan frustrated, which was more refreshing than eating watermelon in June.
However, she is still worried. I have long known that Cui Yuan will not be kind to Lin Yuyang. Although Cui Yuan did not say it clearly just now, it is obvious that Cui Yuanyuan has planned and even begun to deal with Lin Yuyang. Lin Huazhi's assurance from Cui Yuan is at most only to ensure that Lin Yuyang is fine at present. With Cui Yuan's nature, he will always find an opportunity to deal with Lin's sister and brother in the future for so long.
Lin Huazhi is not the one who is afraid of things, but she doesn't like what she can't control, and what she can do now is only to ensure that she won't be hurt.
The carriage walked for about half an hour and stopped slowly. The groom said, "Girl, we have arrived at Tongdefang."
Lin Huazhi jumped off the carriage, paid the driver two strings of copper plates, and walked to Tongdefang. She has two things to do today. One is to go to Cui's house, and the other is to visit the ready-to-wear shops in Beijing, take a look at the market in advance, and casually inquire about the situation.
Tongdefang is next to the southeast corner of the imperial city. Although it is not as rich as Zeming Street across the street, it can also be regarded as the most prosperous market in Beijing. The rouge gouache, clothes and cloth, jade gold pins sold here, and everything related to food, clothing, clothing, housing and transportation can be bought here, and most of them are of the quality. People like to wander around Tongdefang in their spare time.
The most famous clothing store in Tongdefang is "Golden Needle Square". The skirts and robes sold are of excellent workmanship and gorgeous fabrics. Although the price is the most expensive in the capital, they are still loved by rich and noble families.
At this time, it was not before noon, and there were not many people in the Golden Needle Square. As soon as Lin Huazhi entered the door, some people came forward to greet him, but their look was smooth and not high and low. Lin Huazhi didn't want to buy anything, so she declined the introduction of the group and walked around the store slowly.
The upper and lower four floors of the Golden Needle Square are placed on the first floor of finished clothes and fabrics. The second floor is specially designed to greet male guests, and the third floor is used to greet female guests. I heard that ordinary people are not allowed to enter except for the boss's distinguished guests.
There is also a Golden Needle Workshop in Jiangdong City, which is not as big as the capital, but there are also three floors. Earlier, Chen Suyue had always wanted to cooperate with the Golden Needle Workshop. However, the Golden Needle Workshop said that their cloth embroidery threads were all provided by Beijing and had never been purchased locally, so Chen Suyue broke the idea of cooperation.
Lin Huazhi came today with the idea of taking the scriptures.
She first looked at the cloth on the counter, which were all good fabrics, from the fur in the north to the silk in the south, from the yarn in the east to the cloth in the west. There is even the best quality Lingluo.
The embroidery thread is the coil of Dongzhou textile. Because it is soaked in sea salt, the embroidery thread is not only strong, but also keeps the line color bright without fading, which is very famous.
After reading the embroidery thread of the Golden Needle Workshop, Lin Huazhi took a robe and looked at it casually. Let alone look at the fine and neat stitches on the mouth of the leader of the clothes, which can already explain why the Golden Needle Workshop is the most famous ready-to-wear shop. Looking at those skirts, the style is novel and beautiful. No matter who wears it, it can highlight the woman's wonderful figure. No wonder the most guests in this golden needle workshop are women.
"Does this girl want to see a robe?" A thirty-year-old woman came along and looked like a stew of the Golden Needle Workshop.
Lin Huazhi put down the robe in her hand, nodded politely, and then said, "I want to buy a stable and elegant robe for my brother. What can I say?"
The stewman smiled: "My husband's surname is Jiang, and the girl can call me Mrs. Jiang." After saying this, Mrs. Jiang took a green robe and a purple robe from the hanging rack beside her and said, "These two robes are most suitable for young men, especially this green color. Although they look a little pink, they are a little more calm because the robe is embroidered with orchid grass and patterns. Many young men like them very much."
Lin Huazhi looked left and right. In fact, she preferred the purple robe in Mrs. Jiang's hand, because there was a layer of tulle outside the robe. If a tall man wore it and added a little elegance, it turned out that Yan Shaobai had such a one.
Mrs Jiang is also a good-looking person. Seeing Lin Huazhi looking at the purple robe in her hand for a long time, she smiled and said, "This one is also excellent. The material used is Luobei satin, which is close to the body and breathable. I think it is also the first time for the girl to come. If you see it, I will give the girl a cheap price."
Lin Huazhi smiled, but pointed to the green robe and said, "This one is better. Please wrap it up for me."
When Mrs. Jiang saw that Lin Huazhi was a talkative person, she decided to buy a robe with a stronger smile on her face and said, "Girl, sit down for a while, and I'll ask someone to wrap it up for you."
He immediately came forward to greet Lin Huazhi for tea. Lin Huazhi shook his head and walked to the hanger with a woman's long skirt.
This time I went to Beijing from Jiangdong City, because I was in a hurry to leave, I basically didn't bring my winter clothes, and I'm afraid I will stay in Beijing for the winter this year. Lin Huazhi thought that no matter whether Lin Yuyang Hall can take the high school exam tomorrow, it is about to enter the winter and the New Year. Anyway, he should buy a few winter clothes for his family.
Finally, Lin Huazhi spent more than 50 taels of silver in the Golden Needle Square and bought a lot of dresses and robes. When Mrs. Jiang sent her out, she also asked her to come back next time. Lin Huazhi picked up her empty purse and reluctantly smiled.
No, you must open a garment shop and visit the Golden Needle Square. Lin Huazhi is determined that selling clothes is better than selling cloth for money. Especially in Beijing, the price is higher than other places.
Lin Huazhi saw that she had a lot of things in her hand and hired a carriage to go home, but she didn't get into the carriage until she left Tongdefang. She suddenly remembered another thing and quickly asked the driver to turn around and go west of the city.
Tomorrow is not only Lin Yuyang's palace test, but also the birthday of the wet nurse. The wet nurse has always liked to eat the eight-treasure cake in the Four Seasons Building in the west of the city. Lin Huazhi intends to take the opportunity to ask the wet nurse for Uncle Chen and talk about good things for the two elders.
Outside the Four Seasons Building, Lin Huazhi got out of the carriage and asked the driver to go to the teahouse across the road to drink hot tea, because it would take some time to make this eight-treasure cake. At this time, a man came out of the Four Seasons Building and saw Lin Huazhi in the distance. For some reason, he immediately turned around and returned to the second floor. Lin Huazhi didn't notice. She entered the Four Seasons Building and asked the shopkeeper. After ordering three eight-treasure cakes, she asked for a pot of hot tea and a meat porridge to eat.
After only took a few bites, I inadvertently looked up at the door and saw a woman coming in with a hat. This was not surprising, but Lin Huazhi took another look. The more she looked, the more strange she felt. The woman was familiar, like a person she knew.
Lin Huazhi is afraid of cold, so she is not only far away from the gate, but also close to the wing on the first floor, which is an eyeless corner. At the sight of someone, she didn't know why she subconsciously shrank back. No one could see her unless she was careful.
After entering the Four Seasons Building, the woman did not take off her hat. Instead, she looked around with caution, and then quickly stepped up to the second floor.
Lin Huazhi was very strange. The woman looked very similar to Cui Shuang. However, how can Cui Shuang appear in the Four Seasons Building at this time? Looking at Cui Shuang, it's clear that there is something wrong.
Although it was puzzled, Lin Huazhi didn't care. Even if it was really Cui Shuang, it was not impossible to go to the Four Seasons Building. Perhaps because he knew that Cui Shuang was now close to serving Cui Ting, Lin Huazhi paid more attention to it.
After eating the meat porridge and drinking some hot tea, Xiao Er came out and said that the eight-treasure cake blanks were ready. Lin Huazhi paid for the food and went out to call the driver to go home. Before she got on the carriage, she turned her head and looked at the second floor. She was still curious. She didn't know who Cui Shuang came to the Four Seasons Building.
When I got home, the house was quiet. The guests who came in the morning had already gone home, and only Xing'er was cleaning in the courtyard well. Seeing that Lin Huazhi had big and small bags in her hand, Xing'er quickly came forward to take them, looked left and right, and asked, "Sister Huazhi, what did you buy?"
Lin Huazhi first put the eight-treasure cake in her hand in the kitchen, then greeted Xing'er into the house, opened a package, and turned out a satin cotton robe from it to compare with Xing'er.
"Does it look good?" She asked.
Xing'er reached out and couldn't help touching her clothes and said with a smile, "It's beautiful."
Lin Huazhi touched Xing's face and said, "I have promised to make a dress for you for a long time, but you also know that I am not good at making female red, so I have to buy a ready-made one for you. Don't say no."
Hearing that it was the clothes for her, Xing'er was stunned and then very happy. She repeatedly asked if it was true. Is it really for her?
Lin Huazhi couldn't help nodding. Seeing that Xing'er was happy, she smiled and asked Xing'er to try the size first. As soon as Xinger changed, someone outside the house suddenly shouted, "Sister, are you in the room?"
Listen to Lin Yuyang's voice, Lin Huazhi hurriedly got up and went out. Xing'er was still changing clothes and couldn't let Lin Yuyang bump in.
As soon as he went out, he saw Lin Yuyang walk into the courtyard from the outside with a solemn face. Behind him was Mao Xiaomao, whom he had not seen for a long time. But before Lin Huazhi opened his mouth, Lin Yuyang came to her and bowed his head to her ear and said, "Sister, I see Si Mao."
Lin Huazhi couldn't help but be stunned. Who did she see?
