Qing Lingyi nodded his head again.
Cheng Yang slowly remembered that Zuo Chongsi was from the Zuo clan, so he had to call Zuo Xuan uncle.
After Qing Lingyi was ten years old, he was raised in the palace of Yongxing County.
Zuo Chongsi was several years older than her, and they really looked like brothers and sisters.
"And the second brother married Yun Ling," Qing Lingyi added, "Yun Ling and I grew up together, and we are best friends."
Cheng Yang:!
It's really stable now.
Zuo Chongsi doted on his wife to an extreme. She told him to go east, but he would never dare to go west.
Now, Zuo Chongsi's beloved wife is his family's best friend.
"Hmm, you really are..."
Cheng Yang's voice was smiling, and he hugged Qing Lingyi completely despite being in the middle of the banquet mountain in full view of everyone.
Qing Lingyi exclaimed, blushing and glaring at him, "What are you doing? There are so many people watching!"
Cheng Yang didn't care about others and only looked at her: "Yeah, you are my lucky star."
"For those of you who are not lucky, put me down first!"
"Let's go buy new clothes!" Cheng Yang was very interested.
Qing Lingyi was stunned.
Cheng Yang quickly changed into regular clothes and took Qing Lingyi to the street.
Clothes and jewelry are the most popular in Suidu South Street. In the early years, Qing Lingyi would occasionally visit Biwei for shopping, but in recent years the prices have become increasingly high, even to the point of being outrageous, so Qing Lingyi stopped coming.
As the carriage drove slowly, Qing Lingyi raised the curtain and looked out, "The things here on South Street are valuable."
Cheng Yang's posture was casual: "What are you afraid of? Well, your husband has a lot of money. You can take over this street if you want."
Qing Lingyi sighed sincerely: "That's a lot of silver. You are so rich~ You are so powerful~"
Cheng Yang raised the corners of his lips proudly. If he had a tail, it would definitely be wagging out of shadow by now.
The carriage stopped in front of the clothing store.
Cheng Yang got off first and turned around to hold Qing Lingyi's hand.
"Yeah, once you get in, you can choose what you don't like." Cheng Yang said.
"Don't like it?" Qing Lingyi didn't understand.
"Yes," Cheng Yang said with a smile, "Take out the ones you don't like and buy the rest."
Qing Lingyi's cheeks turned red, "I can't wear that much."
She said softly: "I'll try to pick as many as possible!"
Cheng Yang smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The shop was filled with all kinds of beautiful things. Qing Lingyi looked left and right, then stood in front of the hanging snow satin brocade skirt.
The waiter came forward with a smile on his face: "Madam, you have good taste! This is a new style in the shop, the only one in Suidu!"
He rubbed his hands again and said, "It's just that the price is higher. It's naturally more expensive."
Qing Lingyi looked sideways: "How much?"
The guy counted on five fingers.
Qing Lingyi was slightly surprised: "Five taels?"
The boy chuckled: "Fifty taels."
Qing Lingyi took a breath of air.
In the general's house, Mrs. Xue and her second sister-in-law only had twenty taels of money per month.
This is very high in Suidu, and the average family can only earn a little more than ten taels a year.
Farewell!
The waiter explained: "This snow satin is made of high-quality silk. It is the best fabric, even slightly inferior to Yun brocade. Not to mention the brocade on this skirt..."
"I bought it." Cheng Yang said lazily.
Qing Lingyi was shocked.
Why did you buy it now? Very expensive! Qing Lingyi looked at him.
I want to see you wear it, it must look good. Cheng Yang looked back.
Not only this skirt, Cheng Yang also added a dozen tops and bottoms.
There was a huge pile, and the clerk was grinning so much that his lips reached to his ears when he was settling the bills.
After coming out of the shop, Qing Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's go home."
"It's still early," Cheng Yang put his arm around her waist, "Yeah, let's go shopping some more."
"I've bought a lot."
"Not much. Besides, it's just a bunch of clothes. You have to buy rouge, gouache and jewelry."
"I have enough of these."
"No, you're not enough." Cheng Yang said confidently.
The two of them went into several more clothing stores and bought countless more clothes.
Rouge and gouache, Cheng Yang picked the best ones.
Finally, we arrived at Fanji Gold Shop.
Cheng Yang was about to walk in, but Qing Lingyi hurriedly stopped him, "I heard that this house is very expensive and not something ordinary people can afford."
"Didn't you wear their hairpin?" Cheng Yang raised his eyebrows.
"Have I worn it?" Qing Lingyi had no impression at all.
"That golden hairpin on the day of the Jiang family's hibiscus feast." Cheng Yang reminded patiently.
Qing Lingyi remembered the golden silk lantern hairpin that Wu Liang brought.
She tilted her head: "Didn't Butler Wu say that you bought this by chance?"
Cheng Yang hummed and led her inside, "I was relatively stupid at that time. I wanted to be nice to you, but I was always secretive. In fact, I came here specially to buy it, and I picked it out with Lu Ting for a long time."
At that time, two men entered Fanji Gold Shop.
Cheng Yang came here for the first time and was dazzled.
Lu Ting pointed eastward, "This feels good."
Pointing to the west again, "That one is also very suitable!"
Cheng Yang remained silent.
Lu Ting knocked on the counter and said, "Brother, hurry up and choose, I sneaked out!"
Cheng Yang said angrily: "Shut up! I'm picking it up!"
In the end, the one he chose was the golden hairpin.
Qing Lingyi didn't know this until now.
She suddenly realized that Cheng Yang had already fallen in love with her back then?
"Ah! You pulled my hair!"
An angry scolding came from the gold shop.
The voice sounded familiar.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud slap in the face.
Qing Lingyi looked intently, and saw Lin Ruzhi sitting in front of the dressing table with eyes wide open, covering her hair with one hand. It was she who had just slapped the shop assistant.
The waiter knelt down and begged for mercy: "Miss Lin, please calm down! I realize my mistake!"
Lin Ruzhi was still angry, "Do you still know who I am? I'm going to get married in a few days, how dare you tear my hair!"
The waiter tapped his forehead on the ground, "The villain has really realized his mistake! Miss Lin, don't argue with the villain!"
"I don't have to argue with you," Lin Ruzhi snorted from her nose, "but as compensation, you must give me the ten hairpins I have chosen today!"
"What?"
The waiter raised his head in shock, "How can this be done? The shopkeeper will definitely not agree..."
Lin Ruzhi looked nonchalant: "Didn't you make a mistake today? The money for these hairpins will be deducted from your wages!"
The guy was almost crying. He was just a helper. How could he get so much wages deducted?
Even if he works hard to death, he will never earn as much silver as a hairpin.
The guy wanted to fight for himself: "But...but..."
"How dare you?"
Lin Ruzhi was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him again.
Qing Lingyi couldn't stand it anymore.
"stop!"
Before she could speak, a cold female voice sounded behind her.
Qing Lingyi didn't see clearly the face of the person who came in. She only saw the fluttering crimson sleeves and smelled the elegant fragrance of jasmine.
The woman stepped inside and clamped down on Lin Ruzhi's wrist.
Qing Lingyi looked at her sassy figure and felt inexplicably familiar. She frowned and thought about it carefully.
Lin Ruzhi was extremely dissatisfied: "Who are you?!"
"Me? Your aunt!"
The woman's voice was cold and strong, merciless.
She signaled to the guy on the ground: "Don't kneel, get up."
This voice...
Qing Lingyi's facial features relaxed and she finally remembered who she was.
