  Chapter 31 is there such a…

Quickly return to the left house on the south bank of Wende Bridge , The time has not reached noon.

Third Uncle Zuo Hanzhu is busy with official business and has not yet returned. Among the large mansions, only the third aunt and the fifth brother Zuo Yunting are present.

Zuo Lingquan came to the main courtyard first, and reported safety with the third aunt, and then prepared to go shopping and buy rouge gouache for the senior sisters.

Zuo Lingquan is not very good about picking rouge for a woman, but he is not familiar with Beijing, so he can’t ask people one by one when he goes out, so he wants to pick a water spirit girl to accompany him. When I went out, my fifth brother Zuo Yunting yawned and lazily ran out of the back house.

It’s already late in the morning, and the maid at home is almost eating lunch. Zuo Yunting obviously just got up, rubbing his eyes and walking directly to the dining room, his clothes are not properly worn.

The maid family has long been accustomed to this scene, seeing Zuo Lingquan coming from the veranda, hurriedly bent over to salute;

   ”seventh young master.”

Zuo Yunting sleepy eyes Xin Yu didn’t pay attention at all. Hearing the sound, he found his cousin standing beside him. As a elder brother, he can’t be seen by his younger brother. Zuo Yunting coughed and stood up straight and patted his clothes, pretending to be old-fashioned:

“Lingquan, are you back? Just tidying up the house.” , The clothes are messed up a bit.”

Zuo Lingquan sees through and doesn’t tell him: “Fifth brother is really hardworking and thrifty. I have just returned and I am about to go out.”

The two of them Although it is a paternal male cousin, it has not been seen in previous years. With Zuo Lingquan becoming the Prince Consort, Zuo Hanzhu has been nagging’what’s up in recent days:
   ”unfilial son! If you have half of Lingquan’s ability, even if Half of them are good-looking, and you can eat soft rice even if you can’t eat hard food…”

Zuo Yunting almost can hear her ears, and I want to get to know this cousin.

Hearing that Zuo Lingquan was about to go out, Zuo Yunting came and walked up to the shoulder of patted Zuo Lingquan:

“You have just arrived in Beijing not long ago, and I am afraid that you are not familiar with the streets. Would you like Brother Fifth to take you out for a tour? Brother Fifth is known as the “Wende Eight-inch Gun”, known to everyone in Beijing, and familiar with the outside world.”

Eight-inch gun? Zuo Lingquan’s eyelids twitched, but he didn’t smile, and he responded kindly:

“That’s right, if the fifth brother is not busy, take me out to recognize the way.”

“I can If you’re busy, you won’t die if you eat one less meal.”

Zuo Yunting wants to walk to walk, straighten up his clothes, and take Zuo Lingquan out of the house, toward the most prosperous apricot Go Huajie.

Eastern Flower City has a total of 36 squares and a population of no less than 300,000. The weather is very good in the spring and February, and there are a lot of people who come out and breathe out. The pedestrians on the street are like weaving, and the shops along the street are also dazzling.

Zuo Yunting said that he is known to everyone. Obviously he is not bragging. When I walked to the Xinghua Street where the brothel restaurant is crowded, I can often hear a sentence:

  ” Five Lord , come in and play~”

“Fifth Lord, the cricket just caught from Evergreen Mountain…”

……

Zuo Lingquan walked all the way, gradually face full of black lines, but after all He is the elder brother of the same clan, he is not good to say anything, he waited until the middle section of Xinghua Street, opened the mouth and said:

“Fifth brother, you don’t want to take me to brothel?”

When Zuo Yunting heard this, his eyes moved slightly, after looking left and right, he leaned closer and said in a low voice:
   ”Ling Quan, are you still a young child? Would you like Brother Five to take you…”

Zuo Lingquan has always been clean and self-contained. He must be a young child. His eyes indicate the imperial city in the distance:

“Fifth brother, you are sure that Her Highness the Princess will not take us if he knows about it. Brothers sent them to the palace to be Court Eunuch?”

Zuo Yunting was cold and laughed:

  ” Just kidding, Brother Fifth , I never go to such unclean places. Um…will you go to the gambling shop? If you go, you will lend me some money, um…fifth brother is more diligent and thrifty, and all the money will be given to you by Third Uncle to buy the four treasures of the study.”

Zuo Lingquan sighed and said: “The gambling shop is not going. I recently lived in Perching Phoenix Valley. The Senior Sister there asked me to bring some rouge. Where can I know where Xianzhizhai is?”

Zuo Yunting suddenly, patted his chest :

   ”Let’s go, I’ll take you over. Um… pick me some by the way.”

“Five brothers still use this?”

“Why? Well, it’s for my mother.”

“Really? I must pay for it. When I entered Beijing, I had not brought a gift to my third aunt, so I am ashamed of it…”

“Family, don’t care about it.”

The two came to the three-story building in the middle of Xinghua Street during the chat.

The tall building is called “Xianzhizhai”. It has everything from jewelry, rouge, gouache, and dress fabrics. The items bought are all for ladies and ladies, but the customers are not all ladies. Come and give them to your favorite ones. There are also many Young Masters who choose gifts.

Zuo Lingquan entered it, raised his eyes and saw Lady Boss standing in the hall, with golden light in his eyes, as if seeing a large piece of fat, the guests on his hands ignored the guests and ran hurriedly Come here:

“Oh hello~ what is blowing the fifth young master? Rare and rare guests, please come in, this one?”

“My cousin, Nicknamed the God of Wealth, Qinghe, you have to be entertained.”

“Oh hello~ Double happiness is coming! Come in!”

The wealthy Lady Boss clapped her hands. As if seeing two pieces of fat, Zuo Lingquan hurriedly took Zuo Lingquan into the private room next to the hall and sat there, tea, water and melon seeds were readily available.

Zuo Lingquan didn’t care about this either. After sitting on the chair, he quietly drank tea and asked Zuo Yunting to pick something first.

However, Zuo Lingquan still underestimated Zuo Yunting’s unreliability.

Zuo Yunting took a seat on the chair, and after being praised by Lady Boss, he floated directly. He wanted what he wanted, but within 5 minutes, there were a lot of them on the table.

Zuo Lingquan has a lot of silver, and I don’t care about it when I buy things for my third aunt, but the things that the shop guy brought over are obviously not what a housekeeper should use-what colorful pearls and colors Very colorful rouge, it seems inappropriate to use on little girl, it is almost the same for Goulanyao sister.

After watching Zuo Lingquan for a while, he put down the tea cup and raised his hand to stop Zuo Yunting’s words:

“Fifth brother, are you sure these things are for the third aunt?”

Zuo Yunting accepts as soon as it’s good, laughed:

   ”It’s a bit Doha? So let’s do it. What are you going to buy?”

Zuo Lingquan secretly shook his head and didn’t say much. Turned to look towards shopkeeper: “I heard that you have a kind of rouge called’red nectar’?”

Lady Boss can see who is the uncle who pays, and her eyes are nodded with a smile:

“Red nectar is my Xianzhizhai’s signature. I like Her Highness the Princess today. How much does Young Master want?”

Zuo Lingquan counted the number of people and ordered ten boxes of rouge Although the price is a bit expensive, it is much more affordable than Zuo Yunting’s spending money. He asked the shopkeeper to pack it up and send it to the house, got up and prepared to leave, but walked out of the private room and saw two official ladies choosing dresses in the hall.

Last time in Perching Phoenix Valley, Zuo Lingquan and Wu Qingwan had a discussion and accidentally cut Wu Qingwan’s clothes. Although Wu Qingwan doesn’t mind, Wu Qingwan has taken care of Zuo Lingquan a lot. I don’t remember this love Zuo Lingquan impossible. Since I met, I opened the mouth and said:

“You have a texture A good dress?”

Lady Boss wished Zuo Lingquan bought the shop directly, and quickly nodded:

   ”Yes, as long as it is for women, we have them here. I will take Young Master to see it. Look?”

Zuo Lingquan slightly nodded, looking back, Zuo Yunting met an acquaintance again, was talking, so he didn’t bother and went directly to the second floor with Lady Boss.

The second floor is much quieter than the lobby on the first floor. The guests are also women. Obviously, there are normally many ladies and ladies choosing ready-made clothes and fabrics here.

Zuo Lingquan came to a large room and looked up and saw that there were many dresses hanging on the wall. There were separate tops and skirts, as well as one-piece dresses. Regardless of styles and textures, in Great Dan I’m afraid that there is nothing comparable to Dynasty.

Zuo Lingquan has a good vision, knows Wu Qingwan’s appearance, and naturally knows what kind of skirt looks good; after he turned around, he picked a cloud-white long dress The cloth is the Yunzhong brocade produced in the four southern counties, with silver moiré outlines. It is not lacking in the wisdom of a young girl, but also has a mature and graceful atmosphere. It is very suitable for women like Wu Qingwan who can’t understand the age.

“Young Master’s vision is really good. This skirt embroiderer has just been made, and it took nearly three months to make this one…”

Zuo Lingquan Not interested in listening to these foolish nonsense, after choosing the skirt, I looked towards the surroundings.

Lady Boss hurriedly asked: “What else should Young Master choose?”

Zuo Lingquan cut last time, not only Wu Qingwan’s outer skirt, but also the clothes inside. , If you want to pay, you will definitely lose the full set.

Although it is not suitable to give underwear, based on Zuo Lingquan’s contact, Wu Qingwan is very expert in the world, and he is not very particular about the rules of the world. He hesitated a little and was ready to buy one for compensation. To Wu Qingwan.

But the big man bought this, since ancient times, it is not easy to speak.

Fortunately, Lady Boss’s eyes were extremely venomous. Seeing Zuo Lingquan hesitated, she understood the meaning and smiled in her eyes:

“Young Master wants to buy lewd clothes, right? I really feel sorry for women.”

Scree clothes are close-fitting clothing, a bellyband is one of them, and the word’prone’ is because ordinary people find it unclean, and generally few men buy it.

Zuo Lingquan didn’t care about it, and asked:

   ”Are you there?”

“Yes.”

Lady Boss hurried to the side of the room At the counter, I went to a few wooden boxes from inside, and let Zuo Lingquan choose them after opening them.

Zuo Lingquan glanced slightly. The style of the clothes in the box is very conservative, and the materials are similar to the outerwear. Although it is close-fitting, the shape is extremely ugly, and it looks like a cloth pocket.

Zuo Lingquan knows this world, most city women wear this kind of profanity, but he really doesn’t like it, and asks:

  ”Well…is there such…that’s Kind of…”

Zuo Lingquan also doesn’t know how to describe it.

But Lady Boss has been doing this business all the year round, how can she not understand the meaning, and asked:

  ”A little bit of a show?”

Sao? !

Zuo Lingquan is a stagger, completely didn’t expect Lady Boss to be able to say this kind of adjective.

This adjective is very appropriate, but when used on Senior Wu, it is obviously too impudent and rude. At any rate, it is also half of his mother-in-law…

Zuo Lingquan hesitated, serious Correction:

“It looks good, um…for more mature and dignified women, female elders.”

Lady Boss blinked her eyes, her expression was a little weird. Secretly: Buy a bellyband for the elders? Men buy bellybands, not just to make women wear them for themselves…

However, there are not a few pampered young masters who like mature women in Beijing, especially those with a little taboo.

Mature women don’t taste like little girl, and it seems that ordinary show is not good…

Lady Boss secretly nodded, understands Zuo Lingquan’s “meaning”, but she can’t tell In a moment, he brought a beautifully crafted purse and handed it to Zuo Lingquan.

Zuo Lingquan didn’t touch the thing that was paid to Wu Qingwan, just let Lady Boss open it and glanced. After thinking that the workmanship was good, she asked Lady Boss to take a new one, pack it and put it in. In the white skirt…
