The third elder brother patted the carriage, "Where's the coachman? What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and drive away!"

He knelt by the car window, poked his head out and waved triumphantly at the elder brother and the second elder brother.

"Two brothers, let's make a deal, you study hard, and I will leave!"

He patted the carriage again and urged the driver to drive.

The coachman looked at Qiqige, and Qiqige waved his hand helplessly, telling him to leave quickly, and the other two would get on the bus if he didn't leave!

The coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage rattled away to the outside of the palace.The two guards let go of the elder brother and the second elder brother, confessed to them and followed Qiqige's carriage and horses to leave.

The eldest elder brother looked angrily at the carriage going away, he gnashed his teeth and swung his arms like hot wheels, as if the third elder brother was standing in front of him and could be scratched by him.

Since the second elder brother became the prince, the burden of being an idol has become heavier and heavier. He gave the eldest elder brother a disgusted look.

"Don't go crazy, let's go find Huang Ama."

The eldest brother accepted the 'supernatural power', and he said angrily: "Why are you looking for Huang Ama?"

The second elder brother looked at him like he was looking at a fool, "What else can I do? Sue!"

Big brother came back to his senses, "Yes! Sue him! He's a little traitor!"

The third elder brother who was sitting in the carriage sneezed twice, and spit stars flew everywhere.

The eldest princess and the second princess hid back in disgust, and the third elder brother rubbed his nose, "It must be the prince's second brother and eldest brother who are scolding me."

The eldest princess and the second princess also wanted to scold him, their girls went out to play, why did he come to join in the fun.Still spit foam stars, dirty.

The third elder brother stretched his neck to look at the carriage, and after a while he opened the curtain to look out, moving around, as if he had lice growing on his body.

The eldest princess pressed his shoulders and told him to sit still. "Can you calm down! I didn't want to take you out, but you are so ignorant!"

The third elder brother was confident, "Today I am also the granddaughter of the imperial grandmother, and I can also go out of the palace for a stroll, please be more polite to me!"

The third elder brother took the initiative to ask for women's clothes again, "Grandmother, quickly give me a dress to change into."

Hearing the third elder brother's request, Qiqige felt complicated.Young man, you are like this, you will regret it when you grow up.

Qiqige threatened him ferociously, "Be honest, listen to your sister! There is no women's clothing, just sit quietly, if you dare to be naughty, I will throw you out of the car, and let Huazi take you away!"

The third elder brother rolled his eyes, and he asked, "What is Paihuazi?"

"Slapping flowers are bad people. They specialize in catching children. They slap you on the shoulder and you will faint. Then they will sell you to other people as slaves, or break your legs and throw them on the street as a beggar."

The third elder brother looked up at Qiqige with a small face, "I don't believe that the imperial grandmother will throw me down. I am so filial, how can the imperial grandmother be willing?"

Qiqige had no choice but to hold her forehead, the children would no longer be fun when they grow up, and they couldn't be fooled anymore.

The guards escorted Qiqige and others to a bustling street with shops on both sides and small vendors setting up stalls on the side of the road.

After getting out of the car, Qiqige took the hands of the two princesses and asked the guards to hold the third elder brother.

There were people coming and going on the street, there were shouts of selling, bargaining, and all kinds of fresh goods. The three children had never seen such a scene before, and they were almost dumbfounded.

Qiqige randomly picked a silk and satin factory to visit, and their clothes and manners were not ordinary people.Especially the third elder brother, who still wears a yellow belt around his waist.

Huang Daizi is a son of the clan, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to offend him, with a smile on his face, he hurried over to greet him.

"A few distinguished guests, please!"

The shopkeeper patted the guy on the head, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and make tea! Make the tea!"

The two princesses held hands to look at the fabric, and the shopkeeper introduced enthusiastically, "What kind of fabric do you two Gege want? Our shop can also be ranked first in the entire capital! Whatever fabric you want, we can find it for you." !"

The two princesses frowned at the same time. To be honest, they didn't like the materials in the store.

Seeing the expressions of the princesses, the shopkeeper knew that they were not suitable, so he quickly moved out the materials at the bottom of the box.

"Garge, please take a look, this is the brocade woven by the best weaver in the south of the Yangtze River. Look at the fine grain, and then the exquisite pattern. It is said that this pattern was designed by a girl from an official family. !"

The third elder brother broke the stage bluntly, "Forget it! Which lady from an official family designs patterns for weaving and sells them to the capital? She doesn't study or become a female celebrity, why is she so innocent!"

The shopkeeper was choked speechless, he squeezed out a smile and flattered, "This elder brother is very knowledgeable, this story is probably fabricated, so the fabric will sell better!"

Qiqige let the children watch casually, she sat down and drank tea leisurely.

"Shopkeeper, how much is your most common bamboo cloth?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Bamboo cloth is five hundred cash a piece."

The eldest princess heard it and said in surprise: "Five hundred Wen, so cheap!"

Hearing the word "cheap", the shopkeeper smiled, "For Gege, [-] Wen is very cheap, but for ordinary people, [-] Wen is very expensive! Some people only earn [-] Wen a month, and they work hard. You can only afford a bolt of cloth in a month."

Qi Qige said: "How can a person who earns five hundred wen buy this cloth? With five hundred wen, you have to buy rice and vegetables, salt and oil, and firewood and water if you live in the city."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "You are a kind-hearted wife who understands the hardships of people's lives. The capital is not easy to live in! Every plant and tree is money!"

The shopkeeper pointed to the teapot on the table and said, "Our shop doesn't have a sweet water well, so we can only buy water for our customers to make tea. It costs a lot of money to buy water every year!"

The eldest princess asked: "Which one is bamboo cloth?"

The shopkeeper took out the bamboo cloth and showed it to the eldest princess, "Look, this is bamboo cloth. The bamboo cloth in our store is thick and wear-resistant, and it can last for a long time!"

The three children went up to touch it, only to find that the fabric was rough and uncomfortable to the touch.Only then did they realize that common people couldn't even afford to wear such rough cloth.

The children have high eyesight and look down on the fabrics in the store.Qiqige bought a few horses with the selected material, and made the shopkeeper smile with joy.

After picking out the things, it's time to pay, Qiqige looked at the three children. "What are you waiting for? Pay!"

The children were stunned, and the eldest princess felt unbelievable, "We pay?"

They didn't choose these fabrics, so why should they pay for them?

Qiqige: "You come out with me, don't you want to eat and drink? I give you the opportunity to honor your elders, you have to live up to it!"

The shopkeeper standing aside was stunned. He has been in the shop for 20 years. When young people and elders come in, the elders always pay. He has never seen the elders order the younger ones to pay.Especially these juniors are all underage little Douding!

The eldest princess and the second princess took out their purses obediently, while the third elder brother went out without any money and stood aside watching.

The two princesses made an agreement with their younger brother in advance, "The three of us will share the money equally, so you can't renege on it when you go back."

The third elder brother said reluctantly: "If I had known it would cost money, I wouldn't have followed."

The shopkeeper was shocked again, has the world changed?The sons of the clan are most concerned about face, why would this little brother with a yellow belt say such stingy words?

The two princesses paid the money obediently, and Qiqige bought a lot of things, and the shop could deliver them to the door.

It is inconvenient to send it to the palace. If you are not careful, you will be arrested as a traitor.Qiqige asked the shopkeeper to deliver the things to Fuquan's mansion.

In fact, Qiqige could also put the fabric in Naren's princess mansion, but she didn't dare. Naren belongs to the locust now, and she can get anything in her hands.

After leaving the silk and satin village, the children clamored to go to the bookstore next door.

After entering the bookstore, the children scattered to find their favorite books.Qiqige is not interested in books, so she inquires about the price of books from the book seller.

"How much is the Complete Book of Zhu Zi?"

The man said: "Four thousand Wen."

"What about "The Essence of Zishi"?"

Companion: "It's also [-] Wen."

After hearing this, the eldest princess and the second princess did some calculations, and found that one thousand Wen was one tael of silver, and a copy of "The Complete Book of Zhuzi" cost four taels of silver.

The eldest princess frowned and said: "Your book is too expensive! A piece of bamboo cloth next door is only five hundred Wen!"

The clerk smiled, "Girl, our store operates with integrity, and the price of this book is not set by me. You go out and look around, and the whole capital is the same price! How else can you say that scholars are precious? This One book is [-] Wen, and the other book is also [-] Wen. These are all books that must be read in the imperial examination. Add the Four Books and Five Classics, and books with various annotations. These books alone are worth the money! Scholars It’s just piled up with money!”

The eldest princess thought for a while and whispered to Qiqige: "Grandmother, next spring I will try again. I want to buy more books and give them to those poor families."

Qiqige felt that the eldest princess was a little naive, with so many proposals to go to Beijing, how do you distribute the books?In what name did you post it?There are so many examples of poverty, how many books do you plan to buy?

Qiqige didn't agree very much, but this was the princess' wish, and Qiqige couldn't bear to pour cold water on her.The days when the eldest princess can be innocent are numbered.

Qiqige smiled and said: "Okay, do what you think is right, go pick books! If the money is not enough, grandma will pay for you."

The eldest princess saluted happily, and took her sister's hand to pick out books.

The man asked Qiqige, "Madam, where is your house? If there are many things, we can deliver them to your house."

"Send it to Prince Yu's Mansion." Qiqige whispered, "I don't know how many books they will buy, and whether the money is enough."

The man heard the words of Prince Yu's Mansion, and hurriedly bowed to Qiqige, "It turns out that she is a female family member of Prince Yu's Mansion. You are too young to understand Mount Tai. Forgive me. It doesn't matter if you don't bring enough money, we will deliver it to your door." You can pay when the time comes. Or you can keep the account, and we will reconcile the account with the Wangfu at the end of the year."

Qiqige said in surprise: "Can you still pay on credit?"

The man laughed, and he thought to himself, after all, it was a female relative who didn't go out often, and he didn't even know this.

"Most of the shops in the capital can be paid on credit, and we can pay together at the end of the year."

Qiqige: "Aren't you afraid of encountering liars?"

The clerk sighed: "Oh, why haven't I met a liar? But they are a minority after all, and everyone is shameless. If you don't give money on credit this time, your reputation will be stinky in the street. A lady like you who is so dignified, We dare to pay on credit, you can buy half a shop for a single piece of clothing, why don't I dare to credit."

Qiqige thanked the buddy for his popular science in her heart, she turned her head and looked melancholy at the silk and satin shop next door.

If she goes back now and asks the silk shop to charge Prince Yu's account, and then takes back the money paid by the eldest princess, I don't know if it will work...
