Chapter 805: Kyoto

For the next ten days or so, the group set off at dawn, rested around noon, and continued on their way after noon. After walking for ten days, they finally arrived in Kyoto at the end of July in the lunar calendar.

If it hadn't been delayed for a while in Yucheng because of Dilong turning over, it would have arrived in mid-July.

Entering the gate of the capital, Li Haitang couldn't believe her eyes, the capital was more prosperous than she thought.

Regardless of whether the northern region is full of wars or whether there is a famine in the south, the people of Kyoto don't feel it at all, they live and work in peace and contentment, and there are peddlers everywhere, and it is prosperous.

The streets are wide, there are many merchants, and there are many people. Their carriages just lined up to enter the city, and they waited for more than an hour.

While waiting, a woman wearing a straw hat to shade the sun came to sell steamed buns, steamed buns, tea, and all kinds of delicate pastries.

Li Haitang bought several petal desserts, some of which are made of glutinous rice, and the petals are filled with jujube paste. , mung bean stuffing, red bean paste stuffing, five kernel stuffing, everything you expect.

"Wufu, I do think of my cousin."

Li Haitang took small bites and looked out the window with her chin in one hand. She had eaten these snacks before, thanks to her cousin Ruan Mianmian. Although Ruan Mianmian had a proud personality, she still felt a little regretful when she really left.

The cousin's body did not enter the Ruan family in the end, and because of this, Ruan Pingzhi and the Ruan family broke completely.

He had fantasized about coming to the capital countless times, but now that he stepped into the gate of the capital, Li Haitang didn't want to go to that impersonal mansion at all.

But she will never forget, Ruan's last wish, after reuniting with her younger brother Li Jinhu, it will not be too late to go.

"Sister Haitang, I want to find my uncle and aunt."

After arriving in Kyoto, Xiangli immediately lifted her spirits. She wanted to go to Songhe Academy and inquire about news by the way. It was important to find someone.

For such a long time, it is unknown where the Yang family's uncles and aunts are and whether they can withstand such a heavy blow.

"Sister Xiangli, logically speaking, I shouldn't stop you."

Li Haitang thought for a while, and felt that it was inappropriate to have his eyes darkened like this. Xiangli is not as good as her. She doesn't have any roots in the capital, so where can she find someone?

If you really ask someone from Songhe Academy, I'm afraid the other party will avoid her and won't reveal a word.

"But…"

Xiangli bit her lip, what Li Haitang said made sense, but she really didn't know what to do.

She didn't have any relatives in the capital, and she didn't have anyone to help. It was a great fortune to meet Li Haitang along the way, and she didn't want to drag her lifesaver into trouble at all.

"Come back to Zhuangzi with me to rectify it first, and I will help you find someone after the arrangement is settled."

Li Haitang calculated that Xiangli is a good person with a conscience and worth making friends with. The Holy Mother is not a bad thing, and it is much better than that person with bad intentions.

She also has to go to Songhe Academy to take over Ji Qiu's wine shop. Besides, she knows Zhang Ruyi's father, Zhang Zheng. In Yang Xu's case, it was Zhang Zheng who helped decide and expose the truth. Maybe it was the Yang family. news.

"Sister Haitang, thank you very much. Without your help, I really don't know what to do."

Xiangli wanted to kneel and kowtow, but was stopped by Li Haitang.

She has selfish intentions and is reluctant to part with Mrs. Wang's cooking skills. If they are separated, there will be no delicious food. She used to think that Madam Yu's cooking skills are very good. Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no comparison.

I heard that Xiangli is walking with her, the happiest Wufu, she is purely for Mrs. Wang's handicraft, she cooks whatever is delicious, steamed buns are better than others.

After finally arriving in Kyoto, after entering the city, I must do some shopping.

It was still early, Xiao Lingchuan stopped the carriage at the carriage house, and then sat in the tea shed to wait. Li Haitang led the women's army to set off and began to sweep the shop.

The clothes in Kyoto are different from those in the North. There are many clothes that pinch the waist to show off a woman's figure. She saw a lot of skirts, six-panel skirts, and horse-face pleated skirts on her eldest sister, which are very eye-catching.

After arriving in Kyoto, in order not to be ridiculed as a country bumpkin, Li Haitang first had to understand the fashion of Kyoto. She specially found a larger cloth shop, but she didn't see a rich lady, and most of the people who came to choose the cloth were servants.

"Oh, it's still wearing a gold hairpin, so it looks like it's from the countryside!"

"That's right, it's so rustic!"

As soon as Li Haitang entered the door, she heard two people discussing in low voices. She was embarrassed because she was wearing a coral hairpin given by the savage husband.

A hairpin is very valuable and very rare. The shopkeeper and the waiter are also the ones who watch people order dishes, so they greeted people warmly and invited people to the private room on the second floor.

In Beidi, the cloth village doesn't have private rooms. Li Haitang didn't expect to be treated like this, but the reason why she doesn't let others look down on her is because of her low-key luxury.

The coral hairpin is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, the bracelet is the bottom of Xiao Lingchuan's treasure box, and the beeswax earrings, together, it is not to be underestimated.

Before coming to the capital, Zhang Ruyi had reminded her that the streets were full of snobbish eyes, and she had to be tall when she went shopping. Even if Li Haitang didn't like to wear too much jewelry, she decided not to look shabby.

Otherwise, it will still affect your mood if you meet someone who looks down on people with a dog's eyes.

What Zhang Ruyi said was correct, speaking from experience, as soon as she entered the door, the waiter greeted her politely, not to mention serving tea and water, and even giving her a picture album.

"Look, these are our latest styles. What kind of style do you like? We have an embroiderer here. In two or three days, you can make the finished product."

The clerk was respectful and introduced the best material in the shop, "If you have a craftsman, you can take it home and sew it."

"Okay, these, the same set, will be handed over to you."

Li Haitang is very wealthy, without changing his face, he bought one of the latest styles of skirts in Kyoto, and there were more than a dozen sets.

The materials and handwork cost more than one thousand taels.

His heart was bleeding, but he had to pretend to be indifferent. In the future, he would have to go to Ruan's house as a guest and go out to discuss business. If he was looked down upon by others, it would be a big deal.

It's not just that she buys it, but her own wild husband and bean bags are also needed. The fabric she bought is going to be sewed by herself.

"Yu, Baiguo, Wufu, how many sets do you choose?"

As her servant, she couldn't be too rustic and embarrass her, so she gritted her teeth and only chose second-class materials, which was another sum of money.

The buddy was stunned, staring blankly. It’s not uncommon to spend money readily, but it’s rare to see someone who is so generous to his servants. Even a maidservant with a head and a face in a high school can only get along with a few people if he wears it. In comparison, it is even a little worse. Li Haitang is very proud, rich and willful! Thinking about the box of jewelry that was stolen, I didn't feel distressed at all.
