Chapter 96: The Emperor’s notice
The way people sell vegetables were in the same style. Even modern people still maintain this ancient style. This thousand years of culture and living habits were kept intact.
Dumplings have meat, so Bai Zhi bought 3 pounds of pork belly and a piece of pork lard, to be used for frying. She also bought a handful of leeks. Additionally, she bought several seasonal vegetables such as green peppers, eggplants, and string beans. She also bought another small wooden barrel to keep the newly bought two fishes alive.
Thinking about Zhao Lan and Hu Changlin’s broken hands, Bai Zhi bought some pork ribs and corn. She was planning to cook them a pot of corn soup.
As for herself, as long as she properly nourished herself, she could grow taller. And so, she bought herself 2 pounds of beef.
Then, she bought the seasonings that were missing in the kitchen. She also bought some rice and noodles, which were all put in the oxcart.
“Have you bought everything?” Hu Feng asked with knitted eyebrows. This little girl was seemingly walking around the market, but she actually knew what she needs. She doesn’t spend a lot of time, nor need a long hour to buy things. Her speed to buys things was pretty fast.
Unlike some other people who just entered the town, they find everything around them strange. And so when they touch things, they wasted a lot of time observing.
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Mmm bought them. Now, let’s go to the clothes store.”
The four people rushed to the clothing store with the oxcart. While on the road, they passed by the bulletin board that the government has built in the long street. A yellow colored notice was posted, so many people were looking around.
There were many people around, but only a few can read the words on the post.
When they arrived in front of the bulletin board, Hu Feng suddenly stopped the oxcart and looked at the yellow notice. As the words entered his eyes, his straight eyebrows gradually wrinkled. He couldn’t tell why, but his heart was feeling very uncomfortable. He was also feeling dizzy.
Hu Changlin asked: “What did the notice say?”
When Hu Feng came back to his senses, he shook his head to throw away the inexplicable emotions he felt.
Then, he said: “This is the emperor’s notice, to tell the world that his Cefeng Imperial Consort Chun became the empress.”
Who knows why, but when he mentioned the emperor and Imperial Consort Chun his heart gave birth to strange emotions. Did he know the emperor and Imperial Consort Chun before?
Hu Feng shook his head, after all, that was impossible. He was in the northwest border. It was a thousand miles away from the capital, where the emperor and Imperial Consort Chun lives. How could it be possible for him to know them?
Hu Changlin just snorted, he didn’t ask Hu Feng another question. He only asked him to hurry and drive.
What the imperial family’s things have got to do to commoners like them?
When the carriage stopped in front of the clothes store, Bai Zhi pulled Zhao Lan’s hand to enter. The store not only sold all kinds of expensive fabrics but also ready-to-wear garments. All kind of fabrics were displayed, even the cheapest fabrics for poor people from the mountain village was available. But this cheapest fabric was the most sturdy coarse clothes.
This kind of coarse cloth clothes only has a single color. Most color available was dark, such as dark red, dark blue, black, gray and the like.
While silk clothes were light in color and comfortable. The color selection was also a lot more. The price was much cheaper than the satin, which was much more expensive than the coarse cloth.
Bai Zhi chose a set of coarse clothes and silk clothes for herself and Zhao Lan. The colors were bright and beautiful.
Zhao Lan has never walked through the clothes store in her life. So, when she touched the smooth surface of the fabrics and looked at the bright colors and delicate cuts, she couldn’t tell how many times it was better compared to the rough linen she was wearing.
It was something that women like, so she was no exception: “Does it cost a lot of money?” However, although she likes them, she can’t help but worried about money.
