Led by Xiao Er, Shen Ruolan went to the private room on the second floor. The private room is actually a small room with a hall separated by tall screens. In the middle of the room is a round sour branch. Wooden table, the table is carved, very high-grade, with a few chairs of the same material underneath, a small table is placed against the wall in the north, and there is a purple sand flower pot on the small table, and the flower pot is planted A rose flower in full bloom, as soon as he entered the room, the fragrance of the flower and the smell of meat on the table wafted over, hooking Shen Ruolan's greedy worms out.
"Miss, please take it easy, the younger one is waiting outside, if you have anything to do, just call the younger one." Xiao Er sent Shen Ruolan into the private room, and went out in a sensible manner.
As soon as the person left, Shen Ruolan couldn't wait to sit down. She was indeed hungry, and she had been hungry for several days. In the past few days, she had been eating the leftovers in the space, although the taste was similar to the ones just made , but it was cold after all, and there was no staple food for the next two days, so I just ate leftovers, drank milk, and ate fruits, and my stomach made a rattling sound when I ate it. It was probably the legendary fullness of water.
Seeing the hot dishes and rice on the table today, she felt even hungrier, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat. She was eating big mouthfuls when she suddenly heard chatter and laughter from the next door.
A male duck voice said: "Master Duan, I went to 'Zuihuayin' to drink yesterday, and Miss Hongmian even asked me about your visit, saying that you haven't been to her place for more than two months, she told me Let me ask you, but what did she do wrong to make you unhappy? You are not allowed to enter her door for two months!"
Another voice said with a smile: "Hehe, Mr. Liu doesn't know yet, our second master Duan has recently fallen in love with a little actor, and the two of them are like glue. You are greedy for my love. How can we care about red cotton and green cotton?" of."
puff!
It turned out that some dandies were talking about the affair, Shen Ruolan twitched the corners of her mouth, she didn't want to hear these dirty things, but there was only a screen between the two private rooms, let alone that room She was talking and joking wantonly, even if she breathed out, she could hear it clearly!
So, I had to keep listening, of course, listening while eating.
The next door said: "How can there be any stunning beauty? Speaking of which, Miao Ge's beauty is not as good as that of Hong Mian, even the second-class girl of 'Zui Hua Yin'. Even if she has a good voice, you all know that , I like listening to Qu'er the most in my life. In the past, I doted on Hong Mian because she sang well. It's just that she got tired of listening to those songs for a few years. I always felt that they were not as good as Miao Ge's new songs, so I chose I love Miao Ge so much..."
The voice was lazy, with a lazy and decadent charm, presumably it was that Second Master Duan.
The male duck laughed: "So that's the case, then I have to join in the fun tomorrow, to see who this Miaoge girl is, and then listen to what kind of Kagura fairy song, can we The well-informed Second Master Duan is so fascinated that he doesn't even want the oiran..."
"..."
In this way, while eating and listening, the topics of these men are all about women, not about whose wife is good-looking, which family's concubine can serve people, and which brothel's sister has a nice voice , who hooked up with the little widow of which family...
The talk over there was in full swing, and Shen Ruolan was almost full, so she put down her chopsticks and rinsed her mouth with tea.
This body is in a state of hunger all year round, and her stomach will not be able to bear it if she eats too much suddenly, so even if the food is delicious, she does not eat too much, and she is only 70% full. She plans to gradually increase food intake, gain weight, strengthen Physique, as a modern person, she still understands the truth that haste makes waste!
After eating, she had the cheek to pack all the leftovers into a basket, covered it with a sheet of tarpaulin, and then secretly put it back into the space, then rejected Xiao Er's kindness, and left alone.
She still has a lot of things to buy, but she doesn't want to go home so early.
After leaving the Four Seas Restaurant, she first went to a cloth shop.
The thin cotton coat on his body was no longer wearable, not to mention how many patches had been patched layer upon layer, and it was small and torn, not warm at all.
This jacket was given to her by a kind aunt in the village. It was worn by the aunt's daughters when they were not married. The clothes of the farmers' families are all passed from the big one to the small ones, one by one, and passed on to the last girl. When I put it on, it was already torn like a fishing net, and I couldn't wear it anymore.
The aunt originally planned to tear off the jacket (for shoe soles), but seeing that Shen Ruolan didn't have any clothes in winter, she kindly gave her the ragged jacket.
Otherwise, she would have froze to death without even such a jacket.
She has been wearing this jacket for three full years, and it is too small now, and the jacket is tightly tightened around her body. If she hadn't been so thin, she would have been unable to wear it.
Therefore, cotton padded clothes must be bought, and she must be bought as soon as possible, or she must not be frozen to death before it gets cold in two days!
"Little girl, buy cloth!"
The proprietress of Heji Cloth Shop was sitting behind the counter, and when she saw a ragged little girl walking in, her eyes were fixed on those expensive fine cotton fabrics, she asked a question.
Shen Ruolan gave a "hmm", pointed to a piece of emerald green muslin cloth, and asked, "Miss Boss, how much is this kind of cloth per foot?"
The piece of cloth she was looking for was the most expensive and the best among cotton cloths. It was soft and fine in texture and felt soft to the touch. It must be very comfortable to wear when made into clothes.
The proprietress looked at Shen Ruolan who looked like a beggar, and although she was sure that she couldn't afford it, she still told her kindly: "This kind of cloth is a bit expensive, twenty cents a foot, and the cloth is also thin, so there will be a scratch if you scratch it. , even if it is not scratched or scratched, it will be easily worn out after a long time, and it is not as durable as coarse cloth."
The proprietress said so much, but she just couldn't bear to tell her directly that she couldn't afford this kind of fine cotton cloth, and it was better to buy coarse cloth to wear.
She didn't know that this beggar-like little girl in front of her had two taels of silver in her hand, and she was not of the nature of frugality, so how could she wrong herself to wear coarse cloth
Shen Ruolan really wants to buy this kind of cloth, but there are too many things to buy at home. If she buys twenty cents a foot of cloth, she may not be enough to buy other things.
She struggled for a while and said, "There is another kind, cheaper ones, preferably muslin cloth."
This is to make it clear that she doesn't want to buy coarse cloth. The proprietress took a look at her, took out a piece of light pink cotton cloth from under the counter, and said, "Why don't you take a look at this piece, the texture of this piece is the same as that of the green one in your picture." The texture is exactly the same, except that this horse was soaked in dew and rain in summer. Although the color is not very good, the price is half cheaper. I also sold it at a loss. If you like muslin, you might as well buy it Pull a few feet like this."
Shen Ruolan touched the light pink cotton cloth of different shades, felt the texture, and said decisively: "Okay, then this one, I want it!"
