Chapter 248

It's not only satin, but also light colored. If you look at it carefully, you can see dark lines flashing in the sun when it's blown by the wind. On the four corners of the sedan chair's top, there are a string of gems and wreaths of matching colors. Under them are half long tassels. You can think of the time when the sedan chair driver lifts the sedan chair and walks around, How beautiful these decorations look when they move naturally with their feet.

It can be seen that the owner of the sedan chair is very valuable to use such quality silk and satin carelessly on the easily soiled transport tools. Especially in this dynasty, there were clear regulations on the riding of the sedan chair. What two people lift is called "two people's small sedan chair", what four people lift is called "four people's small sedan chair", what more than eight people lift is called "eight people's big sedan chair", which is commonly known as "eight people's big sedan chair". What class of people take what class of sedan chair, violations will be punished, officials need to follow the rules, and people can't exceed the system even if they have money, so sedan chair is also a symbol of class.

This sedan chair is a "small sedan chair for four people". According to the current regulations, it can only be used by officials of second grade or above and their families or nobility of Bofu or above.

Yu Qingzhan also saw the sedan chair and quickly pulled Shi Xiaorui: "sister Xiaorui, let's go to other stores to have a look. I don't think the things in this store will be cheap. If you like it and can't afford it, it's so depressing."

Although Xu Xin is a county magistrate, the county he works in is a middle county with an annual tax of less than 60000 stone, so the grade is only seven. According to the regulations, even if the family has enough money, he can only take a small sedan carried by two people.

Who knows whose family members are riding in the sedan chair of four people? In case of arrogance, it is also troublesome to have a conflict in the shop.

Shi Xiaorui didn't think so much about it. After all, she was not born and raised. She was not so sensitive to these so-called identity symbols. She had never seen a sedan chair in the town where she lived before. Even the rich people took a carriage when they went out. In the TV dramas she watched before, the sedan chairs were rotten. Who knew there were such regulations?

Shi Xiaorui just felt the silver in her purse. Thinking about the dress she asked for in Yixuan square a few days ago, she obediently gave up the idea of going in and having a look.

They were passing by the door when they saw two little maids coming out of the shop with a young girl.

The young girl was dressed in a pink dress. She wore a chignon on her head, which was to divide her hair into several strands and tie it on her head. She didn't need to hold it on her head to let her hair fall down naturally. Then she tied her tail and hung it on her shoulder. It was also called swallow's tail.

This hairstyle is not difficult, but it's a choice. A girl with melon seed face, goose egg face and fair complexion looks good when she combs it. But this girl has a small round face. It's better to have a lovely bun, such as Yuanbao bun. But she has chosen an inappropriate hairstyle, not to mention that she is wearing several hairpins on her chignon. The big peony is on her petite head, which makes her feel shaky, People can't help caring about her hair ornaments and her face.

At a glance, Shi Xiaorui remembered the flowers on the girl's head, and did not leave any impression on her appearance.

After walking for a while, they saw a teahouse. It was very clean and there were many customers in it. On the way, they went in to have a rest.

The waiter came up and asked politely, "what would you like for your ladies?"

"What do you have here?" Shi Xiaorui asked curiously.

Xiaoer said with a smile: "madam, I don't think she's been here before. We have all kinds of green tea, yellow tea, black tea, white tea, black tea and milk tea in our shop. We also have all kinds of snacks with tea."

"The teahouses in the capital are the most complete in our shop. We have all kinds of desserts, salty desserts and desserts. The two ladies can name them casually. As long as they are not too rare, we have all kinds of desserts in our shop."

With that, as if to prove that he didn't brag, the sophomore reported the long name of the snack, with a smile on his face. Obviously, he was very confident in the variety of his shop.

Yu Qingzhan surprised to ask: "you a teahouse, dim sum unexpectedly so complete."

"Well, our boss not only opened this teahouse, but also the biggest pastry shop in Beijing. Our teahouse doesn't have so many snacks, but as long as the guests order, we will go to the pastry shop to get them. It's very fast and doesn't waste any time."

"It's a smart business!" Shi Xiaorui did not expect to be able to do so, but think about the two sides of the store can be mutual consumption, advertising each other, can be much better than a single open.

Just now Xiao er said quickly, Shi Xiaorui couldn't remember what she wanted, so she went to see Yu Qingzhan.

Yu Qingzhan waved: "don't look at me, I don't know what to eat."

Shi Xiaorui said to the bartender, "well, bartender, you can have a pot of black tea, the best snack in your shop. Choose two sweet ones."

"Good!" "Xiao Er immediately agreed," you two wait a moment, and you will come up right away

While they were waiting for tea and snacks, they saw a young man coming in with a basket to sell fruit and waved him in.

"What fruit do you sell?" Shi Xiaorui saw that the boy had cleaned up. Although there were many patches on his clothes, he washed them very clean. Seeing that he came in for a turn and didn't sell anything, he was a little depressed, so he asked him to come near.

The young man quickly approached, raised a smiling face and said: "it's pear and pomegranate. Now they are the two kinds of fruits in the season. They are all sweet. Would you like to try them, madam?"

"What's the price?" Yu Qingzhan asked.

"Three Wen for a pear and five Wen for a pomegranate." The boy replied.

Shi Xiaorui said, "take a look at the fruit."

"All right." The young man quickly opened the cloth half over the basket and revealed the fruits inside. The green pears and red pomegranates were full. I'm afraid he didn't sell many this morning.

Shi Xiaorui asked him to ask the shopkeeper for a plate and peel off the two big pomegranates. At the same time, she asked, "are you a native of Beijing?"

"It's the natives." When the boy returned, he broke the ripe stone along the crack, and suddenly the red and crystal pomegranate seeds rolled down the plate, shining in the sun.

Shi Xiaorui and Yu Qingzhan twist a few pomegranate seeds to taste. The sweet pomegranate seeds are a little sour and taste very good. Just at this time, Xiao Er comes up with their tea and snacks.

"Here comes the black tea for the ladies ~" cried the little two, and took down two plates of snacks from the tray in his hand. "The lady said that if you want to sell good desserts, the small ones will decide for you, and you'll have Zaoni yam cake and butterfly roll."
