Ever since, in the next few days, the three of them had unprecedented enthusiasm for the preparation and improvement of the Furong Garden.
On this day, when the palace and residences inside were almost cleaned up, the most interesting and anticipated part finally came.
That is procurement.
Before that, an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs had prepaid Li Qiu's food and salary for half a year in advance.
Definitely a lot of income.
And Luo Kexin also brought a hundred taels of gold from the old county king.
Said it was for the young couple to decorate their new home.
Then when the two of them get married, there will be more dowry.
Regarding this, Li Qiu was naturally embarrassed and wanted to shirk.
But the old county king told him with a smile that now the entire Luo family can only love such a girl.
This home, sooner or later, belongs to both of you.
As long as you two live well, everything will be enough.
Seeing that the old county king said so, Li Qiu had no choice but to accept the huge sum of money.
Around eleven o'clock in the morning, Luo Kexin, who was dressed in a brocade robe and dressed as a man, came with a man on horseback.
Li Qiu stretched out his hand with a smile, caught her hand, and took her next.
At the same time, he did not forget to tease.
"Brother Luo is really suave and handsome today!"
Luo Ke glanced at him with a smile in his heart, "Brother, it's absurd!"
At this moment, the carriage from Ying Guogong's mansion also arrived, and then Wu Jue, who was also dressed as a man, got out from under the curtain holding the hat on his head.
Seeing her appearance at this time, both Li Qiu and Luo Kexin laughed.
It's really the Wu Jue who is usually dressed in a sweet long skirt, but now it's the first time he wears a boy's dress, the contrast is too great.
Luo Kexin's boy is dressed up, beautiful and handsome, more like the image of Zhao Min in the movie advocated by the Demon Cult.
As for Wu Jue, wearing a boy's outfit, she has big eyes, two big dimples, and her tender and fair skin, she is simply too cute.
"Wu Jue, why did you remember to dress like this?"
"It's so cute!"
As she said that, Luo Kexin took Wu Jue's hand while gently pinching Wu Jue's face.
As for Wu Jue, her face was slightly reddened by her, but she also blinked, jokingly said: "Under the public, Brother Luo, please respect yourself."
Seeing the two of them making a fuss here, Li Qiu also walked over with a smile, while hugging one of them by the shoulders.
"You two virtuous brothers, since the three of us agree with each other, and our love is stronger than gold, why don't we all leave tonight."
"How about we sleep together?"
Hearing his words, Luo Kexin and Wu Sui both ran away at the same time.
Luo Kexin said with a smile: "It's a beautiful idea!"
As for Wu Jue, he was a little shy: "It doesn't seem to work now..."
Her words made Li Qiu's index finger twitch, and Luo Kexin blushed suddenly, and hurriedly pulled her away.
In the Tang Dynasty, many cultures were influenced by the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Xianbei culture.
Girls have a lot of freedom.
It is also normal to wear men's clothing on the street.
In Chang'an City, horseback riding is the main means of transportation for people.
This Chang'an city is really too big. If you don't ride a horse and want to go to Dongxi City, it will be dark by then.
In this era, both men and women, civil and military, can ride horses.
It's just that when women ride horses, because they wear skirts, they can only sit sideways on the horse's back and walk slowly.
So this is why Luo Kexin likes to wear men's clothing, which is convenient for travel.
"Wu Jue, have you ever ridden a horse before?"
Hearing Luo Kexin's question, Wu Jue shook his head.
But at this moment, Luo Kexin smiled at her, picked up Wu Jue, and put him on his horse.
The next moment, with Wu Jue's exclamation, Luo Kexin got on the horse in a jiffy, and wrapped Wu Jue in his arms.
Chapter 135 The Two Crazy Girls
Because it is the first time to ride a horse.
After feeling the shaking of the horse, Wu Jue could clearly see nervousness, and his small face turned pale.
At this time, I saw Luo Kexin smiled wickedly, "Xiao Wujue, you can sit still."
After finishing speaking, she knocked her legs, and the horses under the two of them rushed out with a neigh.
Luo Kexin's war horse, not to mention a famous BMW horse, is definitely not too bad.
In the past few years, it has been galloping freely on the battlefield, and now it is even more fun in this incomparably spacious Chang'an City.
The speed of running is also faster.
Li Qiu, who was standing behind, could only see the two of them running away in a flash, as well as Wu Jue's exclamation and Luo Kexin's laughter of success.
Hence, Li Qiu shook his head and sighed softly, "Oh, these two crazy girls!"
When the group of them arrived at the gate of Chang'an City East City, there were already a lot of businessmen and people gathered here.
According to the rules in Chang'an City, the east and west cities will only open at noon.
Then, some time before the curfew, Zaimingjin closed the market.
Those two poems in the charcoal seller: A foot of snow comes outside the city at night, and a charcoal cart rolls over ice ruts at dawn.The days of hunger for cattle and people are already high, and they rest in the mud outside the south gate of the city.
That's probably what he meant.
If these people want to come to the city to trade, they have to go out at night, and then the market will not open until noon the next day.
Just when Li Qiu and his party came to the outside of the East City for about an incense stick, the market gate finally opened as the drums beat two hundred times.
The dense crowd gathered here also poured in.
The East City of Chang'an City is divided into nine large blocks by a cross-shaped street.
This well-shaped street is the main road with a width of 15 meters.
And in the middle of these nine large areas, there are countless paths interspersed with each other.
There are fewer shops of all kinds in the East City than in the West City, but there are more than 1.
When they were about to enter the gate, the guards and officials at the gate hurried over to salute Li Qiu.
The attitude is also extremely respectful and enthusiastic.
"Subordinates/officials have met the general/Governor."
"The general wants to take his family to visit Dongshi?"
Seeing them, Li Qiu also nodded with a smile and greeted them.
At this time, the two people became embarrassed.
"General, there is an order from the imperial court that those who occupy the fifth rank or above are not allowed to enter the East and West Market."
"General, you..."
Li Qiu is aware of this rule.
This East and West Market is a place where the people of the whole city gather. They come here every day to buy daily necessities such as daily necessities such as daily necessities.
If there are more high-ranking officials, there will be more guards, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to the people.
Of course, although there is this regulation, most people will sneak in in a carriage.
As for the guards and officials at the gate, they naturally didn't want to offend this person.
If Li Qiu was also riding in the carriage today, they would not have come to intercept him foolishly.
At this time, Li Qiu smiled at them, "You may have forgotten."
"Isn't my small shop also in the corner of Dongshi?"
"I'm not here for shopping, but to take a look at my own store."
"Besides, I keep quiet and not many people know me, so I won't cause you any trouble."
Hearing Li Qiu's words, the two were on the verge of crying.
My great general, Lord Guo, we don't know how many people know you in the entire city of Chang'an.
Anyway, there are really not many people who know you and don’t know you...
However, since Li Qiu said so, the two of them had no choice but to bow and salute, and let them go obediently.
When they entered the market, they first listened to Wu Jue's wishes and went to stores such as the fruit store, nut store, and grocery store.
All delicious and fun.
Li Qiu also smiled and accompanied them to go shopping, and at the same time looked around curiously.
For Wu Jue's favorite raisins, the price of the top grade is 17 cents a liter.
Bamboo shoots, one or two or three words.
Jujube, 6 wen per liter.
In short, the prices during the Zhenguan period were really cheap.
The purchasing power of the 100 taels of gold given by the old county king is really too strong.
When Li Qiu and his group went shopping, almost every shop greeted Li Qiu warmly.
And take the initiative to pull them in, chat enthusiastically, and send the best, top-grade, sweetest fruits and goods in your store.
As for Wu Jue, he never refuses anyone who comes, and he really buys these delicious foods.
But when Li Qiu was about to check out and pay, almost every shop owner shook his head like a rattle.
"What? Pay?"
"Oh, Mr. Li, my great general!"
"It's just such a little fruit, if I take your money, am I still human?"
"You have to let me be poked in the back by the people in this city?!"
"No, no, absolutely not..."
Of course, they didn't accept it, and Luo Kexin and the others over there also left them the money without missing a penny.
It made these people beat their chests embarrassingly, and repeatedly said that they must come to play often when they are free.
Wu Jue's father, Samurai Xun, always takes her out even though he loves her.
However, the samurai Xun, as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and a high-ranking official, is very disciplined.
He never brought Wu Sui to the East and West Market.
So today Wu Jue has enough energy and desire to buy things.
Seeing this precious time go by little by little, Luo Kexin finally pulled her back.
"Wu Jue, if you like shopping, I will bring you here every day for the next few days."
"Today we are going to buy furniture, silk yarn, and cloth."
"If you don't hurry up, the market will be closed soon."
Only then did Wu Jue come to his senses, and smiled embarrassingly while holding Li Qiu's hand.
Afterwards, they came to the silk, dyeing, and cabinet shops in the middle and deep part of Dongshi City.
