Allure of a Country Maiden

When you come to the emperor's feet, you would be really sorry for yourself if you don't go out for a walk.

On this day, the weather was fine, and everyone who had stayed in the mansion for a few days couldn't stay any longer. After all, no matter how beautiful the cage was, they couldn't bear to stay in it all the time, right? Shen Baoer wanted to go shopping. How much would he have in his dowry in the future? Buying a box bottom from Didu also doubles your face, doesn’t it?

Mrs. Shen Zhuang was not interested in going shopping. She was too old to be active, but Shen Baoer wanted to see if there was anything good. Mrs. Li and Shen Beier also wanted to go out, so they encouraged her to go out.

"Mom, if you don't go out for a walk when you come to the Imperial Capital, then when you return to the village, you won't be able to answer when people in the village ask what the Imperial Capital is like. How embarrassing will it be?" Ms. Li had her own plan in mind. , Shen Zhuang must go out together.

"Yes, mother, let's go for a walk together. There is a carriage anyway, so it won't be too tiring." Shen Yuzhu pulled Shen Zhuang's sleeves and acted coquettishly.

Shen Zhuang also felt that when she returned to the village and was asked what the imperial capital was like, she couldn't even tell her, which was a bit shameful, so she nodded.

Mrs. Shen Zhuang asked Xuemei, the maid who was waiting for her, to ask the housekeeper to prepare the carriage. They were going out for a walk.

Xuemei was later sent to serve the Shen Zhuang family. Chun Xing, who originally served the Shen Zhuang family, was later sold out. The entire servants in the mansion knew the reason, but they did not dare to serve the Shen Zhuang family. No matter what Li said in front of them, Shen Zhuang and the others just thought that someone from Chunxing's family had redeemed her.

After hearing this, Xuemei agreed and ran out immediately. Mrs. Shen Zhuang looked at her running out and was very satisfied with her neatness.

Xuemei first came to the main courtyard and told Mrs. Liu that Shen Zhuang and the others were going out and needed a car. After Mrs. Liu agreed, Xuemei immediately ran to find the manager to make arrangements.

The manager had received orders a few days ago, and he knew exactly what arrangements the old lady and her group needed to make when they went out. He immediately asked the coachman to prepare the carriage, and asked Xuemei to watch the old lady and the others carefully. Report to Madam.

Then a clever boy was arranged to follow the carriage on a bicycle. He would come back and report as soon as he noticed something was wrong.

…

When women go shopping, they usually visit jewelry, clothing, and food shops.

They asked the coachman to take them to the best clothing stores and silver shops. The coachman first took them to the most famous clothing store in the imperial capital - Nishang Pavilion.

This place not only sells ready-made clothes, but also sells cloth. Many of the fabrics inside are not only bright in color, fashionable in style, but also in a wide variety.

There are also many kinds of clothes: gorgeous, elegant, noble, dignified, pink, lively, etc. There are all kinds of styles.

After entering, several people were dazzled by the colorful clothes inside.

A lady just finished shopping with a young lady, and the shopkeeper personally saw them off.

"Shopkeeper, send the things I picked to the Shangshu Mansion, and then go to the accounting room to settle the bill."

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and nodded in response.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and felt happy all of a sudden. She had thought about this possibility for a long time, but she never thought it would actually work.

Shen Yuzhu had never seen such a large ready-made clothing store. When she saw the clothes on it, they were suitable for her age and she wanted to buy a set.

She pointed to a pink pleated skirt with slanted butterfly sleeves and asked, "How much does this skirt cost?"

The waiter saw that the clothes of several people were very ordinary in the imperial capital, but he still enthusiastically came forward and introduced: "The girl has really good taste. This skirt is a new style, and it is most suitable for a woman as beautiful as a flower. The girl wears it She must be like a flower fairy, extraordinary and otherworldly, making people unable to take their eyes away."

After hearing the waiter's compliments, Shen Yuzhu wanted to buy the skirt even more.

"How much is this skirt?" Shen Zhuang also thought it was good.

"Such a beautiful dress only costs ten taels of silver. Isn't it a good deal? If I were a girl, I would take it home quickly."

"Ten taels of silver, aren't you going to grab it?" Shen Zhuang screamed after hearing this.

Shen Yuzhu was also shocked. For ten taels of silver, the clothes she was wearing were only one tael of silver, which was considered good even among her clothes.

The smile on the waiter's face froze, and then he quickly smiled again: "Old lady, this is a new model, and it is made of high-quality silk fabric, so it is a bit expensive. We also have some more affordable styles in our shop, too. It’s very beautiful. You can choose again.”

Shen Yuzhu asked two more sets, one with eight taels and one with twelve taels, secretly smacking his lips! The clothes in the imperial capital were too expensive. The third brother only gave me ten taels of silver, which could only buy one set of clothes. He couldn't think of other things.

She doesn't like clothes worth a tael of silver.

Shen Yuzhu wanted to buy the set worth ten taels, but Shen Zhuang was really reluctant to part with it.

"Mom, just buy it for me. This dress is so beautiful. Mr. Shangguan will definitely look at me differently when I put it on!"

Shen Beier also took a fancy to two pairs of clothes, a set of nine taels and a set of ten taels.

Mrs. Li came to Mrs. Shen Zhuang and whispered something.

Mrs. Shen Zhuang's eyes lit up: "Is this still possible?"

Mrs. Li nodded, "Mom, if you don't believe it, you can ask the waiter."

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen Zhuang hurriedly asked the waiter: "Waiter, can the clothes we buy be sent to Shengpinghou Mansion for us, and then we can settle the bill with the cashier?"

When the waiter heard about Shengpinghou's residence, he glanced at the group of them. It turned out that these were the family members of Shengpinghou that everyone had been talking about after dinner recently!

His attitude became more and more respectful: "It turns out that it is the old lady and madam from the Shengpinghou family. This is of course okay. Madam and young lady, don't worry. After madam and young lady have made the selection, they will sign the form and take their fingerprints! We will then go Arrange for someone to send it there!”

After hearing this, Xuemei quickly told Mrs. Shen Zhuang to relieve herself, and then ran out.

Mrs. Shen Zhuang ignored her and waved her hand to let her go down. Without blinking, she began to look for clothes and fabrics that suited her.

Everyone picked out two or three pieces of clothing and a few pieces of fabric, and then went to the silver building.

The Rare Treasures Building is the most famous silver building in the imperial city. After entering, a few people were dazzled by the glittering gold and dazzling jewelry inside, and their eyes were starry-eyed!

Shen Yuzhu was attracted by a set of ruby ​​heads and faces displayed alone in a glass cabinet. His eyes could no longer see anything else, and his feet could not move.

Seeing this, Mr. Shen Zhuang asked about the price of this set of jewelry.

When she heard that it was one thousand taels, she without hesitation had someone send it to Shengpinghou Mansion, and then find the accountant to settle the account.

When the people in the silver shop saw this, they thought they were wealthy people, so they greeted them warmly and took out the best jewelry in the shop for them to choose from.

Shen Zhuang chose two sets for himself and bought a jade bracelet. Shen Yuzhu also chose two sets and bought a pair of gold bracelets.

Li and Shen Beier didn't dare to choose too many, so they each chose a set of five or six hundred taels.

After buying jewelry, they decided to go to the largest restaurant to have dinner before going back.

But you can't eat on credit, so you ate more than nine taels in total. Shen Zhuang was so heartbroken that she scolded the shop for being a scam! Even the hairs on my body were screaming in pain!
