Little Cardamom - Chapter 59

When Jiang Xu returned to the room, Ming Tan was already fast asleep. The room was very dark, there was a lamp on the table for him, but it had been extinguished at some point, only the moonlight outside the window was shining through the window paper, casting a faint shadow.

He walked to the side of the couch, gently lifted the brocade quilt, and looked at the wound between Ming Tan’s legs.

Although the room was dark, it could still be seen that the area between her legs was bruised and purple by the saddle. Compared with the white skin next to her, it was quite shocking.

This matter was his negligence, he was used to riding a horse, and he could travel hundreds of miles a day without hindrance, galloping the horse all the way, he forgot to think about whether this little princess who was usually very delicate could bear it.

During these two nights, she didn’t cry or make trouble.

Jiang Xu scratched her cheeks with his fingertips, and wanted to apply medicine to her, but found that he had already applied it, so he paused for a moment, so he had to cover her with the brocade quilt again.

On the road the next day, Ming Tan noticed that the cushion in the carriage seemed to be several layers thicker. Because she used to support the table when reading, today the table was inexplicably shorter.

Jiang Xu was riding a horse outside, and she just got up to observe.

She found that only her side of the cushion was thicker.

She was a little bit puzzled, lifted the hood of the car, and motioned Yun Yi, who was accompanying the car, to approach: “Did you add the upholstery on the car?”

Yun Yi shook her head blankly: “What cushion is the princess talking about?”

She remembered something, and said again: “The Lord ordered someone to put something in the car this morning, maybe it was the cushion you mentioned?”

Husband?

Ming Tan was startled for a moment, then moved forward, glanced at Jiang Xu’s tall and handsome back, the corners of his lips suddenly turned up, feeling inexplicably satisfied.

Because they were driving in the city, they couldn’t speed up, and they couldn’t get out of the city for half a morning.

As noon approached, Jiang Xu signaled to stop, and found a nearby restaurant to rest and eat.

I don’t know what kind of shop is opposite this restaurant, it’s very lively, during the short time they were seated, there were several waves of ladies and ladies who were dressed in bright clothes and were served by maids in and out.

When the waiter came to deliver the food, Ming Tan asked curiously: “Excuse me, what kind of shop is the opposite? It’s so lively.”

“On the opposite side, Yuluofang! It’s a ready-made clothing store, newly opened in the past few days.” They ordered a lot of food and wine at this table, and the waiter introduced him very enthusiastically, “The things in Yuluofang are very expensive, but they My family is quite good at doing business, so what else can I say besides the fabrics of the clothes in the store… The new store opened, and in the first three days, I specially prepared unique clothes for ladies and ladies. It’s so hyped up, and it only opens at noon every day, and only ten pieces are brought out every day, and every lady can only buy one piece a day.”

Ming Tan became a little interested when he heard the words.

Xiaoer leaned closer and clicked his tongue again: “You don’t even know how good the business in Yuluofang is these few days, it’s so expensive, and the ladies and ladies in the city are still rushing to buy it every day. There was still a quarrel in the past two days. G, the first three days… Today seems to be the last day, madam, if you are interested, you might as well go and have a look.”

After he finished his introduction, he took the empty end drawer and withdrew.

Ming Tan turned to look at Jiang Xu. Although she covered her veil, it was not difficult to see how much she was looking forward to from her shining eyes.

Jiang Xu glanced at her and ordered: “Yun Yi, go with Madam.”

“Thank you, husband!” Ming Tan stood up immediately.

Yun Yi who was staring at the braised pork, the plate of braised pork was fat and thin, and the sugar color was fried very well, it was soft, glutinous and delicious, and it was extremely tasty.

She swallowed calmly, and followed out with her sword in her arms. She didn’t know if she had noticed Shu Jingran’s signal to her, “Don’t worry, Shu will leave you half a plate”.

On the opposite side of Yuluofang, Ming Tan looked at the plaque that was previously blocked by street stalls.

The words on the plaque are well written, and the wood used is also excellent red sandalwood, and the words are covered with fine gold leaf.

Seeing a visitor, the clerk came out to greet him with a smile: “Madam, do you want to see the clothes? Come, this way please.”

Ming Tan nodded and followed him inside.

The shop is quite elegantly decorated, behind the cabinets are neatly placed all kinds of silk and satin cloths, and the men’s and women’s finished clothes are hung on two sides, and there are not too many hangings, and each piece has enough space for people to look at it carefully. , but it was no different from those tailor-made clothing stores she frequented in the capital.

“I don’t know what kind of clothes Madam would like to see. There are plain and luxurious ones in small shops.” The clerk asked attentively beside him.

Ming Tan glanced casually over the hanging clothes, Yun Yi followed behind and responded indifferently: “Of course our wife only looks at unique ones.”

The man understood, and bowed a little more: “The lady, please.”

He walked forward quickly and raised the curtain for Ming Tan.

Separated by a door curtain, there is a cave inside, and one can tell at a glance that it is a resting place prepared for distinguished guests.

The clerk led her to sit at a table with the Eight Immortals, and offered her a cup of tea: “Madam, wait a moment, the clothes you still have today will be brought to you right away.”

Hearing what he meant, he had already sold quite a few of them.

It’s normal, isn’t there someone in the room who is fighting for clothes.

She didn’t touch the tea, but looked diagonally across from behind the Eight Immortals Table half-hidden by a screen, the set of clothes that was being displayed in the hands of the tailor and embroiderer, and was being scrambled for.

That set of clothes is apricot pink and jade white, cross-collared blouse and pleated skirt. It is far away, and the embroidery on the top is not clear. It is worth mentioning that the blouse is actually made of Yaohua satin.

Yao satin is a new style produced in Suzhou this year. It was paid tribute a few months ago, and there were less than ten pieces in total. The empress got two horses and gave them to her as a reward. She had just worn them once when she made them into clothes, but they were torn apart by someone who didn’t know how to restrain herself.

I heard that Yao satin is not easy to weave. Although it has been several months, the output should still not be much. She kept talking about asking Zhou Jingwan to pay her satin, and Zhou Jingwan agreed, but she didn’t pay her until she went to Yongchun Garden.

This Yuluofang now has clothes made of Yaohua satin, which is indeed quite capable, no wonder people are fighting for it.

“This set of Yaohua satin clothes, our wife took a fancy to yesterday, and asked me to buy it today. It’s better for Ms. Su to be more sensible.” The person who spoke was a girl, I don’t know which family it was from, it was very classy. Take advantage of the power to bully others with arrogance.

“Miss Ganoderma lucidum also needs to be reasonable. Who didn’t fall in love with this set of clothes yesterday?” Miss Su’s girl couldn’t help arguing, “The shopkeeper said that they won’t sell it yesterday, so whoever comes first today will be the one.” Yes, our young lady came early, so it should belong to our young lady.”

The girl who was called “Ganoderma lucidum girl” smiled: “Since you come first, why don’t you pay the bill first? You even make gestures, because it’s too expensive and doesn’t fit you well.”

“you!”

Then Miss Su stopped the girl, and said out loud: “Then I will pay the bill now, why do you want to stop me?”

“Before paying the bill, it’s not yours. My wife’s bill is paid here first, and this dress belongs to my wife.” Ling Zhi glanced at the tailor and embroiderer next to her, “Do you think it makes sense?”

“This…”

Today Miss Su came to ask for this dress first, but she just wanted to try it out first and see how it could be changed to make it fit better, so this dress is naturally Miss Su’s.

But the master of the girl Ganoderma lucidum… they are not easy to offend, the tailor and embroiderer looked at each other, really embarrassed.

Ganoderma lucidum impatiently said: “Think about it clearly, our wife is from Jing’an Hou Mansion, she is the sister of Princess Dingbei, if my wife is offended, write a letter to Lord Hou and Princess, your shop will still be open It’s not good if you can’t keep going!”

Hearing this, Ming Tan: “…?”

When did she have such a good sister?

At this moment, the man who greeted Ming Tan earlier brought another tailor and embroiderer over with several sets of clothes: “Ma’am, these—”

Ming Tan interrupted, looked at the screen diagonally opposite, and asked softly: “Over there, shouldn’t it belong to General Xuanwei’s residence?”

The guy nodded, showing embarrassment, but he couldn’t say much else.

Obviously, what Lingzhi said hit the point, there was silence on the other side of the screen, and it was Miss Su who held back her breath and offered to give way: “Give it to her, I don’t want it anymore.”

After finishing speaking, Miss Su took the girl out of anger and walked straight outside.

Her little girl hugged and said: “Just because there is a sister who is a princess who is rampant all day long, she is not a princess!”

Ming Tan wanted to call to stop the two of them, but he didn’t know what he thought of, so he pressed it temporarily, and gave Yun Yi a look not to act rashly.

There are also several ladies and ladies in the room who are looking at the clothes. Some of them have nothing to do with themselves, as if nothing happened, while others stepped forward to flatter the Ganoderma lucidum girl: “In my opinion, this dress suits your wife well. Two days later, at the Fenghe Banquet, if Madam wears this dress, she will definitely outshine all the others.”

“That’s natural. I accept your good words. I bought the clothes and have to go back to my wife, so I won’t accompany you.”

That Ganoderma lucidum’s tone was so arrogant that she didn’t even call it “servant”. A girl who is so frivolous to this point, if she is in Jing’an Hou’s Mansion and Dingbei Prince’s Mansion, she might be betrayed a hundred times.

After she left, Ming Tan tried his best to keep calm, looked at the clothes and asked the guy beside him: “I’m new here, I don’t know if this third young lady in General Feng’s mansion is also so majestic in the past?”

The clerk practiced Tai Chi and said: “Our shop has only been open for the third day, and the nobles in the city can’t recognize them all, so how can we know so much?”

Ming Tan glanced at Yun Yi, and Yun Yi took out a bag of silver and handed it to the guy.

The man was startled, this lady is really——

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and when he turned around, he lowered his voice and said: “Although our shop has only been open for three days, but I worked in another shop before, and I have heard something about the third young lady of the Feng family. The third young lady of the Feng family…”

Ming Tan listened patiently, the more he listened, the more he couldn’t suppress the fire in his heart.

It turned out that when Ming Chu first married into General Xuanwei’s mansion, the old lady of the Feng family oppressed him, and there was not much trouble inside or outside the mansion, and he even seldom went out to show his face.

But since the beginning of summer this year, the old lady of the Feng family has been ill and has not sobered up to this day, so she became crazy. The two sister-in-laws in the mansion are both generals, she did not dare to easily confront her, but when she left Feng’s mansion, she often used the name of Jing’an Hou’s mansion and Dingbei Princess to publicize.

Especially Princess Dingbei, how can anyone in Hezhou be worthy of such a character.

Although I haven’t heard whether the princess and her elder sister are close, but they are all sisters. If she can say that, the relationship is naturally the same.

Hearing this, Ming Tan almost fainted.

Mingchu is really good enough, she is still restless after marrying in Hezhou, didn’t she look down on her like that before? Now she goes around using her banner to flaunt and deceive others.

However, she is not as stupid as before. With such a behavior, firstly, she gains advantage by gaining power, and secondly, she loses her reputation. Isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?

The guy said again: “… Miss Su family today, I heard that she was going to discuss marriage with Saburo Feng. For Miss Su’s family.”

Ming Tan didn’t say a word.

After a long while, she suddenly got up and said: “I want the clothes, Yunyi, pay the bill.”

When she returned to the restaurant, Ming Tan was on fire all over her body, even if she covered her veil, she couldn’t hide her anger, as if pouring a basin of water on her body would make the smoke rise.

Jiang Xu glanced at her, and then at Yunyi.

Yun Yi: “…”

The braised pork is not fragrant.

Ming Tan suddenly asked: “Husband, I can give orders, right?”

Jiang Xu nodded: “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing, don’t trouble your husband.”

Since she dared to use her name to bully others, she wanted to let her know what price she would have to pay for using her name!
