Ma'am, is there someone out there?

The group finally arrived at the capital and stopped the carriage not far from the city gate.

The carriage was stopped by Shen Qing.

He observed the queues lined up at the city gate and found that they were divided into two columns, one was pedestrians on foot, and the other was carts and carts.It was the time when the crowds were crowded, and the guards inspected the city carefully, especially for those carriages and horses, as if they had to take apart the wooden boards to check them again, so there was a long queue without knowing it.He glanced at the majestic city wall again, and became curious about this ancient capital.Why don't you just go shopping.

Shen Qing lifted the curtain, and Lu fell into a deep sleep for a while, but he was quite energetic at this time.

"Come down, let's walk, or take a stroll."

Xiaobao was tired of staying in the carriage, when he heard Shen Qing's words, he wanted to jump off with a smile, but Shen Qing caught him.Lu Chen also got out of the carriage, still wearing a mask to avoid the eyes of everyone.

Shen Qing glanced at Lu Chen's face a few times, thinking about it.He ordered a few times to let other people line up here, and the three people went in from the row with the least number of people, and forced no one to come down to follow them.

When the carriage was far away and approached the city gate, Shen Qing asked Lu Chen to take off his mask.Putting on this mask, people who have seen it will guess their identity as soon as they reach the crowd, so what's the point of that?He just wanted the three of them to visit this bustling capital, and he didn't do it in a big way.

Lu Chen knew what he meant, and took off the mask next to Shen Qing's chest, and put the things into the jade pendant with a single movement of his hand, and his swords were also hidden there.Shen Qing's original jade pendant was given to him, but he himself wore it from childhood to adulthood and hung it around Shen Qing's neck.

Exchanging personal things with each other brought Lu Chen a wonderful joy, but Shen Qing smiled and said it was for fun, which instantly turned his joy into embarrassment.

Xiaobao opened his mouth in surprise, raised his head and stared at Lu Chen, and with just a wave, the things in his father's hand disappeared.He felt amazing!

"Daddy, where did the monster go?" Xiao Bao felt that the Rakshasa above was a big monster, but unfortunately there was no Monkey King to subdue him.

"The monster was eaten by the Monkey King!" Shen Qing frightened Xiao Baolai, serious.

Xiao Bao showed a sympathetic look: "It must be so ugly to eat." It can be seen that Xiao Bao really eats by looking at his face.

Just as they were talking, they lined up in the middle of the line, and the front seemed to be a family of three.The husband carrying two baskets and the woman holding the little girl, the little girl turned her face to Shen Qing and the three of them, her eyes flicked back and forth on the three of them, then she leaned into the woman's ear and whispered to herself: "Mother, That family looks so good-looking!"

The little girl's voice is not small at all, and the crisp voice is not annoying.

Xiaobao didn't feel shy when he was praised, and thought happily, of course he was good-looking, his fathers were all good-looking, so Xiaobao was naturally good-looking too!Xiaobao's idea is naturally inherited from Lu Chen, and Lu Chen also thinks that the three of them are very beautiful.

When the woman heard the little girl's words, she was about to criticize her for not pointing fingers at others, which would make people unhappy, but when she turned around, she saw the three of them all with picturesque eyebrows, and the scolding disappeared immediately.

It's really beautiful.

The woman blessed her body and apologized to the two.Shen Qing even said that it's okay, Tong Yan said nothing.

"Where did sister-in-law come from? It looks like she has traveled far away." Anyway, Shen Qing was still in line, so Shen Qing simply started chatting with the woman.

The woman said with a smile: "Drought and flood every year, our family is a strong laborer who is the head of the family. He doesn't care about farming, so he goes out to run a business with other big merchants. The head of the family is worried that our mothers are at home and insist on going together." I don’t make much money, but my life is enough, so it’s winter, so we packed up the rest of the goods and came back to celebrate the New Year.” There was a bit of happiness in the woman’s plain words.

After the woman finished speaking, she looked at the three of them again, and said, "The three of you don't look like they are from the capital, they are from the south."

Shen Qing replied: "He's from Qingzhou, visiting relatives."

"Qingzhou. We have been to Qingzhou. Isn't that right, the head of the house?" The woman patted her husband before continuing, "It's a good place, with outstanding people and lots of smart people. Look at your little doll, it's so juicy. Like my father..." Speaking of the word father, the woman paused, whose son is this...?This little doll is very similar to these two people.

Seeing that she was stuck, Shen Qing rescued her and said: "Your little girl is also very smart and cute." No longer mentioning who Xiaobao looks like.

The woman pushed the boat along with the current and waved her hand: "The girl is stupid."

After talking for a few words, Shen Qing suddenly remembered something, and wondered if the family of three who had just returned to their hometown knew about it.

"Ask my sister-in-law about it, does my sister-in-law know about the auspicious blessings that fell in the capital a few days ago..." Haoduan asked this question, the woman showed a puzzled look, and Shen Qing explained, "We came from other places, listen One or two sentences are a little curious."

"Auspicious things... I've only heard a little bit about it, don't you know about it, the head of the house?" The woman called her husband when she encountered something she didn't understand.

Her husband didn't like talking at first glance, so he explained in a few words at this time: "It seems that there is something auspicious about Hanye Mountain or it's a baby, and I, the common people, don't know what it is."

Hanba Mountain?It is a mountain near the outskirts of Beijing, where there are royal summer palaces and hunting grounds. Every year, there is a custom that the emperor climb to the top of the mountain to pray for the people.It looks like something was found on it when praying for blessings this year.

Shen Qing and Lu Chen looked at each other, neither of them believed in the theory of auspicious omens, either they were forcibly attached to become auspicious omens, or they were artificially created.

The family of three entered the city gate first, and when it was their turn to inspect Shen Qing and the other three, the guards involuntarily looked at them a few more times.Shen Qing quietly handed over the money to the guard, letting him do the job easily, Lu Chen didn't like being sized up and searched.When the guard got the money, he acted quickly, and let the three of them in after a few perfunctory moves.

"The capital city is really different from Qingzhou." Shen Qing looked around and said.This is different, and the scope is very wide.Just talking about the buildings here is full of northern charm, and the men and women who walk through the street are different from Qingzhou.Qingzhou has a lot of water, women are always charming and soft, women in the capital seem to have a different charm.It is the difference between the elegant lotus and the luxurious peony.

When Shen Qing said luxurious, he was not just talking about it.At the foot of the emperor, there are many noble families.Although ladies are not allowed to leave the house easily, there are quite a few women from rich families surrounded by beautiful maids on the street.Looking at the pearl embroidered jacket, brocade satin and silk, it also shows all kinds of bearing.

Shen Qing was looking at the clothes, Lu Chen felt that he was aiming at the girl indiscriminately, and pushed him hard.

Lu Chen said ferociously: "Are you still going?"

"Let's go!" No matter how fierce Lu Chen was, Shen Qing thought it was cute and wasn't angry at all.He turned his head, smiled at Lu Chen, hugged Xiaobao and led Lu Chen, and strode forward, not paying attention to the eyes of passers-by.

There are indeed many novel things in the capital, but the food alone is different.The three of them were not in a hurry to go back to Duke Huan's mansion, and wandered around the market for a long time.Shen Qing even squeezed into a cloth shop with the two of them and bought cloth.

Lu Chen held Xiaobao in his arms and remained silent, while the two father and son pretended not to know him.

You know, the cloth village hula land is full of women, and it is crowded everywhere.As soon as Lu Chen entered, he smelled a strong aroma of powder, which made him vomit in his stomach.

If it wasn't for the fact that Shen Qing entered the private room with few people, Lu Chen immediately carried Xiaobao and left.He snorted a few times, why did Shen Qing love shopping like them, and he didn't need so many clothes.As for the clothes, it would be nice to have two changes and washes.As for ugly or not... Well, hasn't Lu Chen been able to tell the difference?

The quality of the cloth in the private room is really good, Shen Qing caressed the cloth, but glanced around the private room, and found that the ladies in the private room were all from wealthy families.

I just don't know why they rushed out to cloth village all of a sudden.He thought to himself, this is only a part, there must be some more expensive fabrics sent directly to some more noble houses.

Shen Qing came in at first because he saw the fabric he liked at a glance from outside the door.As soon as he saw it, he felt that it must be suitable for Lu Chen.

Shen Qing walked up to Shen Qing with several rolls of cloth of different designs and colors. The two big men were really out of place among the female relatives with their children in their arms.Shen Qing didn't care about these things, he asked Lu Chen generously: "Xuan Shen, look, which one do you like?" The quality of the materials is excellent, smooth and smooth to the touch, but the color is a bit difficult to choose.Shen Qing had several designs in his hand, cloud pattern moon white background, orchid grass light green...

Lu Chen didn't like it or not, he didn't even understand the suits above.

"It's about the same..."

"Almost?" Shen Qing looked at the several pieces of cloth in his hand.Lu Chen couldn't give any good advice, so Shen Qing thought about what Lu Chen would look like wearing it. After thinking about it, Shen Qing felt that as long as Lu Chen wore it, it would look good. With a wave of his hand, he bought them all.

Xiaobao...of course he has no share.Xiaobao searched in Shen Qing's hands for a long time, but he couldn't find a suit that seemed to suit him, and finally admitted that he had no status in his father's eyes.

Fortunately, Shen Qing didn't completely ignore Xiaobao, he reckoned that Xiaobao's skin was tender, and asked the shopkeeper to find some more delicate cloth.

While waiting for the shopkeeper, Shen Qing and Lu Chen were talking: "Baby, have you seen what kind of fabrics those women buy?"

Shen Qing wouldn't tell him these things for no reason, Lu Chen looked around... and shook his head.He couldn't tell the difference between the fabrics at all.

Shen Qing didn't come here purely to buy cloth.

He saw the bustling shop from a distance, and it was mostly young ladies, and he felt strange, why all the rich ladies insisted on coming here at one time, and seeing the good stuff he liked, they also joined in the fun .

After entering, it is even more strange!

Shen Qing stuck to Lu Chen's ear and said: "Look at the cloth that those girls bring, it's bright and beautiful, but it doesn't keep warm at all. The capital city is colder than Qingzhou, why are so many girls buying these thin cloth?" Or suddenly swarming started.

Lu Chen couldn't tell whether the cloth was thick or thin, but when Shen Qing pointed it out, he was also surprised.

"doing what?"

"No matter how bright and beautiful the winter clothes are, if they are thick and bulging, they won't look good on the body. Only thinner clothes can show the curve of the figure." Shen Qing explained, and he glanced at Lu Chen at this point , Lu Chen is also dressed very bloated at the moment, but he still looks good.

"Tell me, do these girls go to beauty pageants for the sake of wearing beautiful clothes?"

"Beauty pageant?"

Lu Chen recalled this word, could it be that the palace wants to draft girls?Counting it, the palace has not selected a beautiful girl for several years, and Emperor Changqing has no heirs so far, the ministers should be anxious.

Don't worry about what he does, Lu Chen snorted, let him make troubles in the palace, anyway, it has nothing to do with him, Lu Chen.

Lu Chen told Shen Qing about the possibility of being drafted, but he didn't care.Lu Chen didn't care, and Shen Qing naturally had nothing to care about.If the affairs of the palace do not involve Lu Chen, then it has nothing to do with him, Shen Qing.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I will always have something to do with Lu Chen.Shen Qing looked at Lu Chen, thinking worriedly.
