Chapter 114: The Prosperity of the Great Yuan Dynasty
Yunjiao returned to Pianqing Pavilion.
Jiang and Hibiscus were waiting eagerly in the courtyard.
Chen Huazhu leaned against the wall dejectedly in the corner. Now that he had committed such a thing, he could not hold his head up in front of Mr. Jiang. He felt bad luck in his heart, and he was afraid that he would not have a good life in the future.
"The girl is back." When Mu Jin saw Yun Jiao, she rushed to greet her.
"Miss Jiu, how did they talk about that?" Mrs. Jiang also followed up and asked anxiously.
"Sister-in-law Jiang, there is no need to worry. The Spring Equinox has come and I said I would deliver it later." Yun Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, her face full of relief.
"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Jiang patted her heart, looked at Yun Jiao and praised sincerely: "Miss Jiu is very capable, and she solved it in just a moment."
Yun Jiao just looked at her and smiled without saying a word.
Hibiscus also breathed a long sigh of relief and glanced at Chen Huazhu at the foot of the wall. She felt angry and hateful in her heart, but she had no choice but to burst into tears again.
Even if she doesn't care about her own life, she still has to consider the reputation of her parents, brother-in-law, and her second brother, especially since her second brother is about to get married. For now, let's leave it like that. As for the future, let's take it one step at a time and then talk about it!
Jian Jia noticed her abnormality, stretched out his hand to support her, and sighed softly.
"Sister-in-law Jiang, please come in and sit for a while." Yunjiao greeted Mrs. Jiang.
"No." Mrs. Jiang waved her hand: "Since there is nothing going on at Hibiscus, I will go back and take care of it first. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."
"Well, Sister-in-law Jiang, please be more careful on the way." Yun Jiao knew that the arrangements for getting married were extremely trivial, and she no longer wanted to hold her back.
Jiang agreed repeatedly and turned to glare at Chen Huazhu: "You are a mourner for eight generations, leaning against the wall all day long. Why don't you leave and wait for me to invite a sedan to carry you?"
Chen Huazhu was used to being scolded and didn't reply. He just followed him with his head hanging down.
Yun Jiao then went to Aunt Qian's room, leaving Jian Jia and Hibiscus outside.
"Jiao'er, what's going on with Hibiscus and that painter?" Aunt Qian had been worried since Yunjiao left the yard. Now that she was back, she felt relieved.
"Last time, I was afraid that my aunt would be worried, so I said that Mr. Jiang knew about it. This time, she really knew." Yun Jiao smiled and sat down next to her, leaning against her.
"This is not a trivial matter. Have you ever thought about how a girl like you would respond if the Jiang family really makes trouble? What if this spreads out?" Aunt Qian faced her with a rare straight face.
Except for the officials, who would dare to do this without forcing a married person to marry an equal wife?
"Didn't this spread before?" Yun Jiao acted coquettishly, trying to get away with it: "Auntie, don't worry, it's okay. I'll know about it next time."
"Aunt Qian also knows that you are soft-hearted and considerate of your servants, but you must also have a certain degree of restraint and not lose your own reputation. That will last a lifetime." Aunt Qian couldn't help but soften her tone when she saw her cuteness and cuteness.
"I understand." Yun Jiao sat up straight, changed the topic, and felt a little relieved. This matter was finally over: "Auntie, I just asked Jian Jia to go back to my mother, and I'm going to the market to prepare a face for Hibiscus.
My mother agreed to make the dowry, will my aunt go with me?"
"I won't go." Aunt Qian shook her head and warned: "Be careful when you go out, and remember to take the millet with you."
"Okay." Yunjiao stood up.
Aunt Qian gave a few more instructions before watching her leave the courtyard.
The Dayuan Dynasty was prosperous, and the market was extremely lively.
The market is bustling with people, but there are tea houses, wine shops, noodle shops, fruit shops and other shops everywhere.
There are also various kinds of sauces, multigrain rice, porridge, fish, meat and vegetable soup, or bacon and salted eggs, which can be purchased everywhere and are very convenient.
In the market, most people buy seasonal food, often do not cook at home, and do not buy household vegetables on weekdays.
Some shops implement ordering on an hourly basis, which can be done without hesitation. Even if it is a big family, it is inconvenient for the girls to come out, so they send servants from the family to tell them that the shop will prepare the meals and deliver them on time.
The prosperity of Dayuan Dynasty is evident.
Yun Jiao never asked Gu Xizi to come with her. It is always inconvenient for a woman to go out with a young boy to talk and do things. Besides, there is no need for anything, so she doesn't want to bother him if she has nothing to do.
She held a magpie mask and walked among the crowd while covering her face.
The so-called face covering is a round fan.
This round fan was first used for decoration.
The daughter's family is holding an exquisite round fan and passing by. It is extremely beautiful and has its own style.
Secondly, it is used to cover the face.
In the Dayuan Dynasty, the daughters of ordinary people could play freely in the market.
However, wealthy people have strict rules, and if they behave the same as common people, they will be made a laughing stock.
At this time, the round fan comes into play.
Girls hold their fans in front of them so that their faces will not be seen by outsiders. This is called covering their faces.
In fact, this round fan is not only used by ladies, it can be seen everywhere in the market and is used by everyone.
There are even many men who use it. This is because the round fan has another effect.
If you happen to meet someone you don't want to see in the market, you can cover your face and pass them by.
Although the fan covers the appearance, it cannot cover the figure. People who are familiar with it will naturally recognize it.
But as long as you cover your face with a fan, the other person will easily understand what you mean, and they will naturally not rush to touch your hot face against your cold buttocks.
This was a common practice in the Dayuan Dynasty, and no one found it strange.
Baocuilou is the most prosperous jewelry store in Imperial Capital.
The people who came out of the door were either wives from wealthy families or girls from wealthy families. All of them were well-dressed and had extraordinary bearings. From this, it can be seen that the goods sold in Baocui Tower must be good.
In front of the carved wooden counter.
Yun Jiao fell in love with a set of fine-flowered rosette hair and face. Although it was not the most expensive, it was more exquisite. She felt that this set of hair and face matched the timid appearance of the hibiscus, which was perfect.
Hibiscus, however, refused to take it. She chose a set of pearls for herself, saying that she liked it.
Yunjiao knew that this set of pearl headbands was the cheapest in Baocuilou, so Hibiscus saved it for her.
He leaned into her ear and whispered to her: "You don't have to save money for me, but you forgot that grandma left a tea shop for me."
"Then the girl has to go and get it checked to know what the situation is." Mujin insisted: "It's enough for me to have this set of pearls. When the girl has money in the future, it won't be too late to reward me."
"That's fine, it's up to you." Seeing that she was determined to do this, Yun Jiao let her go.
But I still felt that this set of pearl hair and face was a bit hard to come by, so I picked out a pair of gold-covered temples with double phoenixes and flowers and gave them to her to match.
Hibiscus refused again and again, so she accepted.
While the clerk was getting married and packing the wooden box for the noodle, Jianjia whispered: "Girl, the noodle has been bought, and it's still early. Why don't you go to the West Market and take a look at the shop that the old lady left for you?"
Yun Jiao nodded, that was exactly what she had in mind, and she had already thought about it before she left.
After the waiter had installed the head and face, he offered it with both hands. Jian Jia took it with a smile and was about to leave.
