Chapter 396 Hairpin Phoenix
Practice has proved that girls are always slow to go out, no matter ancient or modern times.
Before going out, Li Shu said that she was going to clean up the backyard and would come right away. Then Zhu Pingan and the two little ones waited for almost half an hour, and Li Shu and the little maid Baozi arrived belatedly.
Putting on makeup, dressing up, and changing clothes should be the same as modern girls do before going out.
Li Shu should have put on a light make-up. Her pretty face looks whiter and more delicate, and her eyebrows are slender and picturesque. There was a method of applying eyeliner in ancient times. After the black outline, Li Shu’s eyes It seems to be bigger and brighter than before, like a pool of clear water; the cherry lips are 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 did this girl change into new clothes? A light green slanted top, a light red skirt, and a pink and white ribbon tied around her waist. Her fluttering clothes seemed to be gone. I saw this girl wearing similar clothes.
Who can afford to marry such a prodigal girl? Zhu Pingan curled his lips.
"What are you looking at, hum?"
Li Shu came from a distance and caught a glimpse of Zhu Ping'an's beautiful eyes looking at her. She was overjoyed, but her pretty face turned up arrogantly. Head, 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, I want to be like the fifth sister when I grow up"
The little loli girl has a sweet mouth, which made Li Shumei smile and pinch the little loli. He kissed her little face lightly.
Relatively speaking, naughty children are not so sweet-mouthed.
"Fifth sister, you are so slow and you haven't peed your pants. Why do you need to change clothes?" The naughty kid Li Yangong frowned with his little hands behind his back, dissatisfied that he had missed half an hour of shopping.
"Giggle. Sister, hurry up next time."
Li Shu looked at the naughty child with a smile and nodded vigorously. Then the naughty child suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back. He turned around and looked behind, but there was nothing. So 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, 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 go out less often, but it is not strictly prohibited. They go out in cars or sedans, which blocks the view of outsiders and is also a constraint of 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 chests with boulders, etc., etc., etc., etc., so that There are so many people to handle.
Practice has proved that when girls go shopping, what they pay most attention to is clothes and jewelry.
Shuntian City also has ready-made clothing stores, and the styles and quality are much better than those in other prefectures. There are many stores, and they can be purchased from time to time. I saw one; as for jewelry shops, there were countless.
When the carriage reached the fifth clothing store, Li Shu could no longer hold back, and finally got out of the carriage with the little maid Baozi. Although the little loli was young, she was just enjoying shopping in clothing stores. She was no younger than Li Shu. She ran towards the clothing store with her short legs, but Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to follow along with her 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 gave Baozi a small The maid also bought one set and two sets for the sweet-tongued little loli girl.
Seeing the little loli girl holding two sets of new clothes beautifully, the naughty boy Li Yangong was so envious that his eyes turned green.
"Fifth sister, why did you buy two new sets of clothes for sister Niuer, but not one for me?" The naughty child couldn't help raising his fat face, walked up to Li Shu, and said green Eyes complained to Li Shu.
"Handsome people don't need to dress up."
Li Shu knelt down, touched the naughty kid's little fat face with her slender hands, and said to the naughty kid 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 told you just now that she was slow and why did she change clothes when she didn't wet her pants? Looking at the confused naughty kid, Zhu Pingan 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 took a lot of jewelry boxes in his hand, all of which were bought by Li Shu. As for the reason why Li Shu bought things, Zhu Pingan was 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 very special."
"Hey, the color of this hairpin is different from the one I just bought. Buy.”
“Look, the stamens of this hairpin are smaller than those at home. Buy it.”
“Although this step doesn’t look very good, 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 brought, so much so that 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. 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."
Hearing this, Li Shu 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, so he shook his head and turned away from the money. He took the money out of his bag and bought this peach wood hairpin-headed phoenix, and casually placed it in Li Shu's hand.
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, she felt as if there was a lost deer running around, and her heartbeat was so fast.
"Who cares~~"
Li Shu rolled her eyes and snorted disdainfully, but her delicate hands held the hairpin tightly. (End of this chapter)
