When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded quickly: "Madam, if you want to know anything, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Seeing this, Gu Yiyi stopped beating around the bush and spoke bluntly.
"This entire imperial city must be familiar to the shopkeepers. I am new here and want to find a house to stay. I don't know where to find a suitable one."
The shopkeeper touched his beard and immediately came forward and asked, "I wonder what kind of house Madam would like?"
Gu Yiyi immediately waved her sleeves: "Of course it must be spacious, bright, and occupy a wide area, and it must have a courtyard. It would be better if there are some official houses for sale."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper became more certain that Gu Yiyi was a wealthy owner.
Just as he was about to speak, Gu Yiyi came to ask again: "I don't know how to buy land nowadays. How much money is it for an acre? Twenty taels? Thirty taels?"
The shopkeeper was startled, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Oh, why do you need so many? Madam, you are overthinking, now here, you can't get more than ten taels."
He thought that Gu Yiyi didn't know the importance of money at all. Her family must be too rich to even care about dozens of taels and an acre of land.
"But if you don't live in our imperial city, foreign merchants can only buy a certain amount. If your wife wants to live there for a long time, it's better to buy a house to live in directly. In our imperial city, in addition to the allocation by the court, there are also some that were brought in by officials who have lived there. selling.
Madam, if you need anything, I can help you inquire some other time. If there is something suitable, how about I tell you? "
Gu Yiyi took out some broken silver and handed some to the shopkeeper.
"Then thank you shopkeeper for helping me pay more attention."
When the shopkeeper saw that the tip was quite large, he immediately stood up and bowed to thank you: "Madam, you are so polite. You are a guest of our inn, and I should do these things!!"
"I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you anymore. My family is at the inn, taking care of me."
Gu Yiyi stood up and saw him smiling and nodding, so she went to the stables to pick a good horse and started walking slowly in the imperial city.
The streets here are criss-crossed, and the roads are wider than those in Lucheng. One road is three or four times the size of the entire street in Pingshan Town.
It is crisscrossed and criss-crossed, and there are several city rivers running through it. Various cruise ships and cargo ships are sliding on the river, people are walking in a hurry, and the sounds of vendors on both sides of the street are coming and going, and they are already thriving.
There are a lot of restaurants on this street, and there are several inns.
But Xilai Inn is the largest, and there is a restaurant of the same size opposite it.
If you look closely, you will see that it is as high as five stories high.
The wooden structure and fine carvings make it look like a high-end restaurant.
In addition to food and accommodation, there are even several rouge shops. Compared with Pingshan Town, there are obviously more women on the streets of Huangcheng.
You can even see young women coming out of the rouge shop.
This is also related to today's weather. Generally speaking, women who have not left the palace basically stay at home and rarely go out. But now the grass is growing and the orioles are flying, the spring is just right, and everything is recovering and people are full of energy.
Soon the flowers will be in full bloom, and the annual Flower Goddess Festival will be here. At that time, sacrificial ceremonies will be held throughout the city, which is why it is so lively.
This was the first time for Gu Yiyi to visit a market in this era for such a long time.
Lucheng was also big and prosperous before, but at that time the epidemic was rampant and everyone's life was almost lost. The whole city was empty, so Gu Yiyi had no chance. Now that she has arrived in the imperial city, she understands that the prosperity at this time is different from the place where she used to be. In modern times, there is no difference.
It's a pity that there is no shop of his own here.
Gu Yiyi led the horse and stood in the center of the busiest market, thinking that it would be great if she could have a few shops here in the future.
Just as she was thinking about it, a rouge shop in front of her caught her attention.
She went in and took a look around and found it novel. In this era, there were quite a few styles of women's cosmetics, but they were lacking in color and luster.
Especially those tacky red rouges, it is easy to apply too much if you are not careful. No, two young women were trying it out, but one of them had a heavy hand, and her fair face was like a monkey's butt, so red that it couldn't be wiped off. .
She was laughed at by her peers and was very angry.
Gu Yiyi found it interesting and couldn't help but pick up the box of rouge and study it carefully.
Soon the shopkeeper came over and saw the blush on Gu Yiyi's face, and said with some surprise.
"Girl, I wonder what you are using on your face? Is it our rouge?"
Gu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that she came out and simply put on makeup.
Of course, I use the cosmetics I put in the space. The blush that will be used thousands of years later is not the rouge here.
She shook her head with a smile, and the shopkeeper's eyes instantly lit up: "I just said that the color doesn't look right, but it looks good, and the color is even, white and rosy. I wonder where the girl bought it? As far as I know, we There are no rouge shops like this in the Imperial City.”
Her blush is not pure pink, but a glossy cinnamon color, which fits the skin better and looks more natural.
Gu Yiyi looked around and saw that there was indeed no such color here. Most of them were conspicuous carmine. This rouge can not only be applied to the face, but also has multiple uses. The lips are all red.
When there are too many, they seem to have little distinctiveness.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and thought of something: "Does the shopkeeper think my color looks good?
After seeing him nod, Gu Yiyi said, "I bought this randomly from my hometown."
The shopkeeper wanted to continue asking, but at this moment, there was a sudden harsh sound.
The sound of "bang" instantly attracted everyone's attention.
In the shop, a young woman dressed in gorgeous clothes dropped a porcelain bottle to the ground in an angry manner.
The small porcelain bottle suddenly fell into pieces, with pieces flying.
The decoration on the woman's bun began to tremble with her anger. When the shopkeeper saw it, he ran over and spoke immediately.
"Miss Bai, why are you so angry, Miss Bai?"
"Miss Bai, you are here to come, you have to calm down!"
But the woman snorted, without caring about the person in front of her, pushed the shopkeeper away, pointed at the other woman in front of her, and sneered.
"Is she worthy of buying the cream? I ordered this first!! Shopkeeper, what do you mean by selling it to her? Don't you take my lady's words seriously?"
When the shopkeeper saw it, his face turned pale and he quickly explained.
"Miss Bai, I misunderstood, we don't have much gelatin cream, we only have the last bottle left. This girl just bought it, so we..."
"What do you mean there is only the last bottle left?! Didn't I ask the maid to come over and make a reservation? Where are your people? Why don't you leave it for me?"
The woman was sullen and her impatience made the shopkeepers look embarrassed.
