Rise From the Humble

Practice has proved that no matter ancient or modern times, girls are always slow to go out.

Before going out, Li Shu said she was going to clean up the backyard and would come right away. Then Zhu Ping'an and the two little ones waited for almost half an hour before Li Shu and Baozi's maid arrived belatedly.

Putting on makeup, dressing up, and changing clothes should be the same as modern girls before going out.

Li Shu should have put on light makeup, her pretty face looked whiter and more delicate, and her eyebrows were slender and picturesque. There was a method of applying eyeliner in ancient times. After the dark outline, Li Shu's eyes seemed bigger and more beautiful than before. It was bright, like a pool of clear water; the cherry lips were slightly upward, with a charming smile, adding a bit of charm.

Her black hair was also changed into a princess bun, with a purple swan hairpin made of exquisitely carved purple crystals and a string of agate tassels hanging down from the hairpin, which was dazzling and made Li Shu even more dazzling.

By the way, why is this girl wearing new clothes? A light green slanted top, a light red skirt, and a pink and white ribbon tied around her waist. The clothes are fluttering, but it seems that she has not seen this girl wearing the same clothes. clothes.

Who could afford to marry such a prodigal girl? Zhu Pingan curled his lips.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Shu came from a distance and caught a glimpse of Zhu Pingan's beautiful eyes looking at her. She was overjoyed, but her pretty face raised her head arrogantly, and her Qiongbi made a heavy nasal sound.

Compared to Li Shu, Baozi's little maid was much more plain and simple. Although she was freshened up and dressed up, the girl was greatly eclipsed by Li Shu's brilliance.

"The fifth sister is so beautiful. When I grow up, I want to be like the fifth sister."

The little loli girl had a sweet mouth, which made Li Shumei smile. She pinched the little loli's face and gave her a light kiss.

Relatively speaking, naughty children are not so sweet-tongued.

"Fifth sister, you are so slow. You haven't peed your pants yet. Why do you need to change clothes?" Li Yangong, a naughty boy, clasped his little hands behind his back and frowned, dissatisfied that he had missed half an hour of shopping.

"Giggle. Sister, be faster next time."

Li Shu looked at the naughty boy with a smile and nodded vigorously. Then the naughty boy suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back. He turned his head and looked behind him, but there was nothing behind him. It was strange.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was not true that girls stayed at home as people think in modern times. If that were the case, then wouldn't there be only men on the street? Judging from Zhu Ping'an's experience in the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people, especially poor families, did not restrict girls from going out. In addition to the fact that there were many more men and women than in modern times, they could also go out, but of course the frequency was much less. In ordinary poor families, girls also need to take care of housework, which they cannot do without going out.

Girls from wealthy families rarely go out, but it is not strictly prohibited. They go out in cars or sedans, which blocks the view of outsiders and is also bound by feudal ethics. Of course, there are also girls who wear veils or hats when going out. This is not a mandatory requirement. Most of them are worn by married young women.

The Marquis of Linhuai had someone prepare a covered carriage for Zhu Ping'an and the others to go to the streets. The carriage had a canopy and a window screen to avoid prying eyes from outsiders.

The emperor's feet were very lively. Except for the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, a street started to become lively. There were dazzling shops, various vendors selling goods, monkey dancers, martial arts performers who broke rocks in their chests, etc., etc., etc., etc. There are so many people to handle.

Practice has proven that when girls go shopping, what they pay most attention to is clothes and jewelry.

Shuntian City also has ready-made clothing stores, the styles and quality of which are much better than those in other prefectures. There are also many shops, and you can see one from time to time; as for jewelry shops, there are countless.

When the carriage reached the fifth clothing store, Li Shu couldn't hold it back any longer, and finally got out of the carriage with the little maid Baozi. Even though the little loli was young, she was no better than Li Shu in her hobby of shopping in clothing stores. As a child, he ran towards the clothing store with his short legs, but Zhu Pingan had no choice but to follow him with his naughty child.

After visiting several ready-made clothing stores, Li Shu bought three sets for herself. She didn't care about the size. She didn't wear them anyway. She just bought them back and asked the embroiderer to compare the styles. Li Shu also bought a set for the little maid Baozi. , bought two sets for the sweet little loli girl.

Seeing the little loli girl holding two new sets of clothes beautifully, the naughty boy Li Yangong was so envious that his eyes turned green.

"Fifth sister, why did you buy two sets of new clothes for sister Niuer, but not one for me?" The naughty child couldn't help but raise his fat face, walked up to Li Shu, and complained to Li Shu with green eyes. .

"Handsome people don't need to dress up."

Li Shu knelt down, touched the naughty boy's little fat face with her delicate hands, and said to the naughty boy very lovingly.

Ahem

When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help laughing and coughing. It was indeed the behavior of a sinister girl.

Who said you just said she was slow and why she was changing clothes if she didn't wet her pants? Looking at the confused naughty kid, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but laugh.

The clothing store is probably just a warm-up, and the jewelry store is probably the main meal.

After visiting only two jewelry stores, Zhu Pingan had a lot of jewelry boxes in his hands, all of which were bought by Li Shu. The reason for Li Shu's purchase also made Zhu Pingan drunk.

"Hey, this hairpin is beautiful. Buy it."

"Oh, this earring is so cheap. Buy it."

"Well, this hairpin doesn't look good, but it's a very special one."

"Hey, the color of this hairpin is different from the one I bought just now. Buy it."

"Look, the stamens of this hairpin are smaller than the ones at home. Buy it."

"Although this Bu Yao doesn't look very good-looking, I feel like I should buy it."

That's all. Zhu Ping'an even heard Li Shu say something when looking at a pair of earrings. Although these earrings don't look good and I don't like them, there seems to be a voice deep in my heart saying that I want to buy them.

The consequence of buying and buying was that Li Shu quickly spent all the money she had brought with her. When she returned to the carriage and went shopping, she fell in love with the mahogany jewelry sold at a simple stall on the street and had no money to buy it.

This is a simple stall set up by a street aunt. A wooden shelf is tied to a simple wheelbarrow, and some wooden jewelry is hung on the wooden shelf.

What Li Shu was interested in was a hairpin-headed phoenix carved from peach wood. Although the carving was very delicate, it was much inferior to the jewelry Li Shu bought.

"Didn't you just buy a lot?"

Zhu Ping'an said casually that as a poor man, he couldn't stand Li Shu's lavish behavior. It was estimated that Li Shu would not use many of the things he bought back, which was a complete waste.

"Hey, I'll lend you twenty cents and I'll pay you back when I get back."

When Li Shu heard this, she rolled her eyes hard at Zhu Ping'an, stupidly, and then stretched out her slender hand.

"What's it worth? I'll give it to you."

How could Zhu Ping'an ask Li Shu to pay back the money? He had been eating from other people's cooks for so long. He shook his head and took out the money from his purse to buy this peach wood hairpin head phoenix, and casually put it in Li Shu's hand. inside.

Zhu Ping'an didn't take this seriously. After putting the hairpin in Li Shu's hand, he bought two little rabbits carved from peach wood. One was given to the little Lolita, and the other was given to the bear who was almost drooling. child.

However, when Li Shu received the hairpin, her heart was beating so fast as if there was a lost deer running around.

"Who cares~~"

Li Shu rolled her eyes and snorted disdainfully, but her delicate hands held the hairpin tightly.
