Xiao Lizi cautiously reminded: "My lord, this is the third time this month, the emperor has made up his mind to choose a concubine for you. Is there something wrong with you being so indifferent?"
Fu Nanling looked at Xiao Lizi indifferently, and said, "Why, you also want to take care of this king's affairs?"
"I don't dare." Xiao Lizi quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "My lord, my slave wants to choose someone who suits my heart instead of asking the emperor to marry me. Even if there are any changes in the future, it will be easy to deal with."
"Marriage?" Ji Linglan walked in from outside the hall, and said with a smile, "Ah Ling, is this going to get married? Whose girl is she, what is her personality like?"
Fu Nanling glared at Xiao Lizi, then looked at Ji Linglan, and said, "No, there is no other girl, Ah Lan misheard."
Seeing this, Ji Linglan couldn't help laughing, and said: "My ears are good. Speaking of which, A-Ling is about to turn [-], so it's time to talk about marriage. There are so many ladies in the capital, does A-Ling like it?"
Fu Nanling immediately lost face when he heard the words, and said: "I don't want to get married, and I don't have anyone I like. It's fine if my father forces me. Why is Ah Lan also using this to make things difficult for me?"
Ji Linglan looked at Xiao Lizi, and said with a smile, "Please trouble Eunuch Li to see if breakfast is ready. I have practiced boxing and kicking for an hour, and I am really hungry."
Xiao Lizi quickly responded, got up and left the bedroom.
Ji Linglan said earnestly: "A Ling, I understand your resistance, but even though you are a prince, sometimes you can't help yourself. I think you should understand the emperor's thoughts. He is currently lingering and ill, and the thing he can't let go of is the most important thing." It is the country of Fu, and next is you, he wants to watch you get married, this is human nature."
Even the parents of ordinary families still expect to see their children get married and start a career when they know that their time is numbered. What's more, Fu Lianchao is still the emperor in ancient times, and the country and children are the most important things to them.
Fu Nanling understood what Ji Linglan said, but he didn't want to have anything to do with anyone except Ji Linglan. Even if it was fake, he would feel that it was a betrayal of Ji Linglan.He failed him in the last life, no matter what in this life, he can only be by his side.
"Anyway, I don't want to get married. Even if I disobey my father, I don't want to give in and marry a woman I don't like." Fu Nanling's attitude was firm.
Ji Linglan is a modern person, so she naturally knows that if the husband and wife have no feelings, the marriage will definitely not be happy, but this is not the modern age, and Fu Nanling is in the royal family, so he has no right to marry independently.But Fu Nanling insisted, and Ji Linglan naturally would not object, saying: "A Ling, this is your marriage, you make your own decision, no matter what the result is, I will support you."
Fu Nanling asked tentatively: "Alan, if one day you find out that I have concealed something from you, will you be angry?"
"That depends on what happens."
Fu Nanling continued to ask: "Then if I do something wrong and hurt you, will you forgive me?"
"It's still the same sentence, it depends on what matters. However, as long as you take the initiative to confess your mistakes and take responsibility bravely, I think I should forgive you."
Fu Nanling looked at the complex emotions in Ji Linglan's eyes, and he knew in his heart that if Ji Linglan knew about the mistakes he had made, he would definitely not forgive him, so it's better to hide it for a while.
Ji Linglan put her arms around her chest, looked at Fu Nanling coolly, and said, "Tell me, what did you hide from me, and what did you do wrong?"
"Not yet, I'm just planning ahead in case I really make a mistake in the future."
Ji Linglan has always been keen and can naturally see that something is wrong with Fu Nanling. Seeing that he refused to say anything, although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't want to ask more, and said: "Then you have to pay attention in the future, I am not as good as I look. so easy to talk."
Before Fu Nanling could speak, Xiao Lizi's voice came from outside, saying: "Master, breakfast is ready."
Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan and said, "Let's pass on the meal."
After breakfast, the two of them left the palace together in a carriage, enjoying Fu Nanling's favor. Ji Linglan didn't have to go on foot this time, but acted as a groom. Of course, Lu Jiu was sitting in front of him. Wei Huyou was beside the carriage.The roads in the palace are complicated, if he is only asked to drive the carriage, he does not know when he will be able to leave the palace.
Ever since Ji Linglan crossed over, she has never been to the capital, yesterday was her first time, but because she was in a hurry and worried, she didn't even bother to take a good look.This time when he left the palace, the situation was completely different. He sat in the carriage leisurely observing the 'heart' of this country.
Clean streets, passing pedestrians, loud yelling, high-spirited bargaining, and lazy greetings from acquaintances all reveal the prosperity of the peaceful and prosperous age.
"Stop the car." Fu Nanling suddenly said.
Lu Jiu hurriedly pulled the carriage aside and slowly stopped.
Ji Linglan asked aloud, "Is the prince busy?"
Fu Nanling lifted the curtain of the car, and said with a smile: "I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, and I don't know what new things there are in this capital. I want Ah Lan to accompany me for a stroll."
Fu Nanling's suggestion fit Ji Linglan's heart, and said: "Success, I haven't been back to Kyoto for a long time, so let's go shopping together to see if there is any suitable shop."
Fu Nanling looked at Liu Xi, and ordered: "You drive the carriage back to the palace, and tell them to clean the yard well."
"Yes, my lord." Liu Xi responded and drove the carriage away.
Ji Linglan looked around and said, "I haven't been in Kyoto for a long time, and I'm very unfamiliar with it. Where should we start?"
Fu Nanling said indifferently: "Just walk around casually, wherever you go, it counts."
"Success, listen to you."
The two walked slowly on the street. Fu Nanling had the best food, clothing, housing and transportation since he was born, so he naturally looked down on the gadgets on the street.However, he is used to watching words and demeanor, and whenever Ji Linglan takes a second look, he will let Xiao Lizi buy it. After a few rounds, several Yingwei around him are carrying big bags and small bags, and they almost can't take them down.
Ji Linglan couldn't help being a little funny. In order to save his hands, he didn't even dare to look at the things on both sides.
As they walked, everyone came to the door of a clothing store, Ji Linglan looked in and said, "I came here in a hurry this time, so I didn't bring a change of clothes, let's go in and have a look, and buy two by the way. "
Fu Nanling stopped and said: "There are a lot of cloth in the palace, let them measure the size, and make some clothes for all seasons."
"Clothes can't be made in a day. It will take a few days. I can't wear these clothes all the time. Besides, your clothes are too precious. If I wear them and be seen by others, it will inevitably be another battle." trouble."
Ji Linglan has not forgotten until now, it was because of a piece of clothing that Pang Li was thinking about it.
"Clothes are a person's appearance, and Alan should wear the best ones. If Alan doesn't like brocade, then use other materials, which are better than the clothes here. But Alan is right, it takes time to make clothes , then let's go in and have a look, and choose two clothes to wear temporarily."
Ji Linglan smiled noncommittally, he never cared much about these external things, as long as it was clean and tidy, and comfortable to wear, he didn't care what kind of clothing material it was.
Ji Linglan led the way, and the two walked into the clothing store together. When the waiter saw a customer coming to the door, he hurriedly greeted him and said warmly: "Masters, welcome to our store. Do you want to buy ready-made clothes or order?"
Ji Linglan said aloud: "I want to buy two sets of ready-made clothes, do you have my size?"
"Yes, our Xihe Garment Store is the largest garment store in all of Kyoto. We have all kinds of styles, materials, and sizes. It depends on what style you need and what requirements you have for the material. We will find the right one for you. size of."
Fu Nanling looked around and said, "Do you have a place to rest here?"
The waiter in the shop was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Yes, we have a special place on the third floor for distinguished guests to drink tea and rest, but the ready-made clothes on the third floor are all top-grade, and the price is a little more expensive."
"Alan, I'm tired from walking, let's go to the third floor to rest for a while and see if there is anyone who catches my eye."
Ji Linglan saw that Fu Nanling's expression was indeed a little bad, she nodded and said: "Okay, then go to the third floor to have a look."
When the waiter in the shop heard that it was a distinguished guest, he smiled happily and said, "Please come upstairs."
A group of people came to the third floor, which was much more spacious than the first and second floors. There was only a row of hangers on the east wall, and two small Eight Immortals tables were placed on the back. Chair.
The waiter in the shop smiled and said: "Grandpas rest first, and the younger ones are going to make a pot of good tea. You guys are drinking tea while looking at your clothes."
Ji Linglan asked Fu Nanling to sit down and rest, and went to the clothes hanger to have a look, and said: "The material of the clothes is good, just pick two sets at will."
"Alan likes it, then choose two sets."
"Thump, thump, thump," footsteps sounded, and then a girl came up from the stairs, followed by a young man.
The girl looked at Fu Nanling, her eyes lit up, and then she exclaimed happily: "Brother Ling, it's really you!"
The young man behind the girl frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "My sister is so rude, why don't you hurry up and greet me!"
The girl stuck out her tongue playfully, blessed her body slightly, and said: "Meier has seen the prince."
The young man followed suit and saluted, "Gao Ning has met His Royal Highness King Ling."
Fu Nanling said coldly: "Excuse me."
Gao Mei'er didn't seem to see Fu Nanling's indifference, and still asked self-containedly: "Brother Ling, why did you come to this kind of place?"
Fu Nanling frowned slightly, and said: "Where is this king going, do I still need to tell you?"
Gao Meier was startled, and then said aggrievedly: "Cousin, Meier doesn't mean that, Meier is just curious."
Gao Ning raised his eyebrows, bowed and said: "Prince, Meier has always been straightforward and has no intentions, so don't take offense."
At this moment, the waiter from the shop came up from the stairs and saw that there were two more people in the room. He was stunned for a moment, then walked towards Fu Nanling, put the tea bowl on the table, and said: "The new tea just delivered, here's You guys have a try."
The waiter turned around to look at the brothers and sisters Gao Ning, and asked with a smile, "Do you two want to buy ready-made clothes, or to order?"
Gao Meier frowned unhappily, and said, "We are together."
Seeing that Fu Nanling didn't speak, the waiter in the shop said: "Forgive me for my clumsy eyesight, miss. I don't know which of the distinguished guests will choose the clothes?"
Ji Linglan looked at the crowd and replied out loud, "I'll buy it."
The waiter from the shop came to the hanger and said: "My lord, this is the best garment in our shop, all of which are made of high-quality silk, and the patterns embroidered on this dress are all invited by us in Kyoto." Good embroiderer. Especially this one, the red-crowned crane on this round-neck gown was embroidered by Master Lin, it is absolutely top-quality!"
"Master Lin?" Gao Meier suddenly called out, walked to the hanger and took off the dress, carefully looked at the stitches on it, and said, "No, this stitch is obviously not embroidered by Master Lin."
"Miss really has extraordinary eyesight!" The waiter in the shop was not stingy with compliments, and said: "This is just a sample, and naturally it was not embroidered by Mr. Lin. If the young master is sure to buy it, the younger one will show the real one. After all, Mr. Lin embroidered it." Embroidery is extremely precious."
"That's true. Mrs. Lin was the best embroiderer in the palace before. She specially made clothes for the emperor. Even the empresses in the palace may not be able to wear the clothes she made. Take it out quickly, we want this dress."
The waiter in the shop showed joy on his face when he heard the words, and said: "Miss, we sell this round neck robe at 300 taels, not a second price, do you really want to buy it?"
"It's only 300 taels, do you think we can't afford it? I don't have any vision, go get it quickly." Gao Mei'er's delicate face was full of arrogance.
"Yes, yes, I'll get it now, everyone, wait a moment." Er Xing, the shop boy, hurried downstairs.
Ji Linglan didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched, this girl is called Cousin Fu Nanling, she is a relative of the emperor, a poor poor man like him can't afford to offend.
Ji Linglan wanted to be the background wall, but others didn't think so.
Gao Meier sized Ji Linglan up and down, and asked curiously: "Cousin, which lord's house does this son belong to?"
Fu Nanling replied indifferently: "I belong to the palace."
Gao Meier was stunned, with a clear expression on his face, he stopped paying attention to Ji Linglan, went to Fu Nanling and sat down, and asked attentively: "Cousin, your complexion is not very good , Are you feeling unwell?"
Fu Nanling frowned impatiently, and said, "I don't need you to worry about my king's body."
Gao Ning's heart tightened when he heard the words, and he said quickly: "Mei'er, there is no place for you to sit in front of the lord, get up quickly."
Gao Meier didn't seem to understand other people's faces, and said coquettishly: "Brother, the prince is our cousin, and my father said that the emperor's uncle is going to marry me and my cousin, and we will be a family from now on. Why should I sit down?" No."
Fu Nanling said expressionlessly: "Marriage? This king, the rightful lord, has not received any news, and Lord Shangshu is really well informed. Also, you are just a daughter born to a concubine. What relationship do you have with this king? If you want to climb high, you can't afford me, my lord."
"My lord, Meier is young and doesn't know the depth of her words, please forgive me." Gao Ning pulled Gao Meier up, and reprimanded: "Have you had enough trouble? Go back with me."
Gao Meier shook Gao Ning's hand, and said aggrievedly: "Cousin, how can you say that about Meier, Meier is the daughter of the eldest princess..."
Fu Nanling smiled contemptuously, and said: "Why didn't I hear Aunt Huang mention it, and there is a daughter like you? The daughter's family doesn't have the slightest bit of restraint. You have completely embarrassed the Gao family."
Gao Meier turned pale, turned to look at Gao Ning, and said, "Brother, you scratched me."
Gao Ning loosened the grip on his hands a little, and said: "My lord, we don't want to disturb you, so we will leave first."
Gao Meier looked at Fu Nanling earnestly, grabbed his wrist, and said: "Brother, if you want to go, go, I finally saw my cousin once, I won't go."
Gao Ning said with an ugly face: "If you mess around again, you won't even think about going out again!"
Ji Linglan watched from the side, and felt a headache for Kang Ning. He thought that the characters in those TV dramas used exaggerated techniques, and it was impossible for them to be so stupid in reality. Who knew that he had opened his eyes today.
"Thump, thump, thump," the sound of footsteps from the stairs interrupted the farce, a middle-aged man came up, followed by the waiter holding the wooden box.
The man looked at the crowd with a smile on his face, and said: "Guest officers, I am Li Cheng, the shopkeeper of this clothing store. Please forgive me for my mistakes."
Seeing Gao Ning looking at Li Cheng, Gao Meier shook off his hand vigorously, ran towards the shop waiter, and said, "Is this the round-neck robe that Master Lin made?"
Upon seeing this, Li Cheng quickly said: "Miss is right, this Yunhe round neck robe is made by Master Lin."
"Then hurry up and let me see."
Li Cheng opened the wooden box, and what caught his eye was a lifelike red-crowned crane, with one foot upright and the other slightly curved, with layers of cloud patterns under his feet, as if walking on the clouds, lifelike.
"That's right, it was indeed made by Master Lin." Gao Mei'er said flatteringly, "Brother, your birthday will be in two days, and this round neck robe will be my birthday present to you."
Fu Nanling was favored by Fu Lianchao since he was a child, and all his clothes were made by Mr. Lin. This is almost a well-known fact in the officialdom in Kyoto. Gao Meier didn't think that Fu Nanling would care about this kind of clothes.In Gao Mei'er's eyes, Ji Linglan was just one of Fu Nanling's disciples, with a humble status, she couldn't be compared with them, and automatically ignored him, that's why she was so reckless.
Gao Meier didn't know how to observe words and expressions at all, and didn't notice that Fu Nanling's eyes were getting colder and colder when he looked at her, but Gao Ning saw everything in his eyes, and felt more and more disappointed with this younger sister.
"My lord, we brothers and sisters still have something to do, so we won't bother you."
After finishing speaking, Gao Ning ignored Gao Meier's resistance, and forced her to walk towards the stairs.
Gao Meier struggled vigorously, said: "Brother, what are you doing, let go, I won't go, I won't go."
Seeing this farce, Fu Nanling frowned more and more, and said: "Gao Ning, Mr. Shang Shu devotes all his energy to the country, so he neglects his family, but as the eldest son, you should also take care of your family. , even a concubine's young lady can't be so uneducated."
In ancient society, it was quite a serious evaluation for a woman to be called uneducated in public, especially for a lady of a noble family, it would only be more embarrassing to spread the word.Others might have some scruples, but Fu Nanling has always gone his own way, never caring about anyone, saying such words from his mouth is completely in line with his personality.
Gao Meier stopped struggling, and stared at Fu Nanling blankly. There were no outsiders around just now. Fu Nanling said that although she would be sad, it would not be too embarrassing, but now she said this in front of the poor. It was hard for her who was arrogant to accept it.
Gao Ning's face became even more ugly, and he bowed and said: "My lord has taught me a lesson. Gao Ning must discipline my sister well. If I offended my lord today, I ask my lord to show my aunt's favor and forgive me this time."
Fu Nanling said coldly: "Let's go."
"Gao Ning resigns." After saluting, Gao Ning went downstairs with his eyebrows pulled.
Li Chenghe returned to his senses, knelt down on the ground, and said: "The grass people see the prince."
Fu Nanling has always lived in the deep palace and rarely appeared in front of everyone, so no one has seen him even in a shop like Xihe that often deals with wealthy families.
Fu Nanling ignored the two of them, turned to look at Ji Linglan, and said, "Alan, which one do you like, let's go after choosing."
"That light blue set, and that dark blue set, that's all."
Fu Nanling looked at Li Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Don't wrap it up yet."
"Yes, Caomin will pack it now."
Li Cheng and the waiter stood up in panic, packed the two clothes that Ji Linglan had chosen, and offered them with both hands.Ji Linglan took it and asked, "How much money?"
Li Cheng waved his hands quickly, and said: "A villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, so this clothes should be treated like a villain to honor the prince."
Fu Nanling frowned, and said displeasedly: "Do you think this king can't afford this money?"
Li Cheng explained quickly after hearing the words: "Don't dare, dare not, the villain dare not. The prince is already in the small shop, it is already full of splendor, how can the villain accept the prince's silver."
Ji Linglan helplessly said: "Shopkeeper, the lord hates flatterers the most. You can accept the clothes as much as you want."
Li Cheng looked at Ji Linglan, saw a smile on his face, he was very kind, he hesitated, and said: "These two sets of ready-made clothes cost 100 taels of silver."
"Yes, then 100 taels, I think the shopkeeper will not be greedy for the prince's money."
Li Cheng's expression changed, and he said with a sly smile, "My lord, what the villain said just now was the price to sell to others. Naturally, you can't sell it to the prince at this price. You can pay 50 taels for two sets of clothes."
Ji Linglan paused when she took out the bank note, and asked with concern: "50 taels, can the shopkeeper get back the money?"
Li Cheng hurriedly said: "It can be taken back, it can be taken back, thank you for your concern, young master."
Ji Linglan nodded, took out a 50 taels from the silver ticket, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "Here, 50 taels, thank you shopkeeper."
Li Cheng glanced at Fu Nanling who was at the side, and respectfully took the bank note in Ji Linglan's hand.
Fifty taels is a lot of money for ordinary people. Even if Ji Linglan has earned three years of money, his net worth is only a few thousand taels, and one third of it was given to him by Fu Nanling. Of course This is minus the money to buy medical equipment.Even though he had already used Fu Nanling's identity and negotiated the price up to 50 taels, he still felt pain in the flesh.
Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling and said, "My lord, it's noon now, we should go back."
Fu Nanling stood up, looked at the round neck robe of Yunhe in the second-hand store, and said: "Shopkeeper, this king bought this dress, and you send it to Mr. Gao's house, the minister of punishment, and say that this king gave it to Gao. Young Master Ning's birthday present."
Hearing this, Xiao Lizi took out the bank note from his pocket, handed it to Li Cheng, and said, "Did you hear the prince's order clearly?"
Li Cheng looked at the bank note, it was worth 300 taels, he immediately beamed with joy, and said: "I understand, don't worry, my lord, the villain will definitely deliver it."
Fu Nanling looked at Li Cheng and said lightly: "I don't want others to know what happened today. If you hear any rumors, then you will never want to open this shop again."
Li Cheng's body froze, and he hurriedly assured: "Don't worry, my lord, nothing happened just now, and the villain has never seen my lord."
Fu Nanling didn't say any more, and walked towards the stairs first.Seeing this, Lu Jiu quickly stepped forward, walking in front of Fu Nanling, and Ji Linglan followed closely behind, together with Yingwei, protecting Fu Nanling in the middle.
Everyone went downstairs together and came to the street to look around at the shops. Ji Linglan asked, "My lord, shall we go back to the palace, or have something to eat nearby?"
"Go home, I'm a little tired."
Looking at Fu Nanling's face, Ji Linglan nodded and said, "Okay."
The carriage was driven back to the palace by Liu Xi, and they had no choice but to walk back. After walking slowly for half an hour, they came to the gate of the Palace of the Mausoleum.Looking at the buildings occupying the entire street in front of him, Ji Linglan couldn't help swallowing. He had to admit that he really came to the city as a country bumpkin - he had never seen the world.
The guard at the gate saw that it was Fu Nanling, he hurriedly greeted him, and saluted, "I will see you, my lord."
Fu Nanling responded lightly: "Get up."
"Thank you, my lord."
Fu Nanling looked at Xiao Lizi indifferently, and said, "Why, you also want to take care of this king's affairs?"
"I don't dare." Xiao Lizi quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "My lord, my slave wants to choose someone who suits my heart instead of asking the emperor to marry me. Even if there are any changes in the future, it will be easy to deal with."
"Marriage?" Ji Linglan walked in from outside the hall, and said with a smile, "Ah Ling, is this going to get married? Whose girl is she, what is her personality like?"
Fu Nanling glared at Xiao Lizi, then looked at Ji Linglan, and said, "No, there is no other girl, Ah Lan misheard."
Seeing this, Ji Linglan couldn't help laughing, and said: "My ears are good. Speaking of which, A-Ling is about to turn [-], so it's time to talk about marriage. There are so many ladies in the capital, does A-Ling like it?"
Fu Nanling immediately lost face when he heard the words, and said: "I don't want to get married, and I don't have anyone I like. It's fine if my father forces me. Why is Ah Lan also using this to make things difficult for me?"
Ji Linglan looked at Xiao Lizi, and said with a smile, "Please trouble Eunuch Li to see if breakfast is ready. I have practiced boxing and kicking for an hour, and I am really hungry."
Xiao Lizi quickly responded, got up and left the bedroom.
Ji Linglan said earnestly: "A Ling, I understand your resistance, but even though you are a prince, sometimes you can't help yourself. I think you should understand the emperor's thoughts. He is currently lingering and ill, and the thing he can't let go of is the most important thing." It is the country of Fu, and next is you, he wants to watch you get married, this is human nature."

Ji Linglan asked aloud, "Is the prince busy?"
Fu Nanling lifted the curtain of the car, and said with a smile: "I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, and I don't know what new things there are in this capital. I want Ah Lan to accompany me for a stroll."
Fu Nanling's suggestion fit Ji Linglan's heart, and said: "Success, I haven't been back to Kyoto for a long time, so let's go shopping together to see if there is any suitable shop."
Fu Nanling looked at Liu Xi, and ordered: "You drive the carriage back to the palace, and tell them to clean the yard well."
"Yes, my lord." Liu Xi responded and drove the carriage away.

Fu Nanling said indifferently: "Just walk around casually, wherever you go, it counts."

The two walked slowly on the street. Fu Nanling had the best food, clothing, housing and transportation since he was born, so he naturally looked down on the gadgets on the street.However, he is used to watching words and demeanor, and whenever Ji Linglan takes a second look, he will let Xiao Lizi buy it. After a few rounds, several Yingwei around him are carrying big bags and small bags, and they almost can't take them down.

Ji Linglan led the way, and the two walked into the clothing store together. When the waiter saw a customer coming to the door, he hurriedly greeted him and said warmly: "Masters, welcome to our store. Do you want to buy ready-made clothes or order?"
Ji Linglan said aloud: "I want to buy two sets of ready-made clothes, do you have my size?"
"Yes, our Xihe Garment Store is the largest garment store in all of Kyoto. We have all kinds of styles, materials, and sizes. It depends on what style you need and what requirements you have for the material. We will find the right one for you. size of."
Fu Nanling looked around and said, "Do you have a place to rest here?"
The waiter in the shop was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Yes, we have a special place on the third floor for distinguished guests to drink tea and rest, but the ready-made clothes on the third floor are all top-grade, and the price is a little more expensive."
"Alan, I'm tired from walking, let's go to the third floor to rest for a while and see if there is anyone who catches my eye."
Ji Linglan saw that Fu Nanling's expression was indeed a little bad, she nodded and said: "Okay, then go to the third floor to have a look."
When the waiter in the shop heard that it was a distinguished guest, he smiled happily and said, "Please come upstairs."
A group of people came to the third floor, which was much more spacious than the first and second floors. There was only a row of hangers on the east wall, and two small Eight Immortals tables were placed on the back. Chair.
The waiter in the shop smiled and said: "Grandpas rest first, and the younger ones are going to make a pot of good tea. You guys are drinking tea while looking at your clothes."
Ji Linglan asked Fu Nanling to sit down and rest, and went to the clothes hanger to have a look, and said: "The material of the clothes is good, just pick two sets at will."
"Alan likes it, then choose two sets."
"Thump, thump, thump," footsteps sounded, and then a girl came up from the stairs, followed by a young man.
The girl looked at Fu Nanling, her eyes lit up, and then she exclaimed happily: "Brother Ling, it's really you!"
The young man behind the girl frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "My sister is so rude, why don't you hurry up and greet me!"
The girl stuck out her tongue playfully, blessed her body slightly, and said: "Meier has seen the prince."
The young man followed suit and saluted, "Gao Ning has met His Royal Highness King Ling."
Fu Nanling said coldly: "Excuse me."
Gao Mei'er didn't seem to see Fu Nanling's indifference, and still asked self-containedly: "Brother Ling, why did you come to this kind of place?"
Fu Nanling frowned slightly, and said: "Where is this king going, do I still need to tell you?"
Gao Meier was startled, and then said aggrievedly: "Cousin, Meier doesn't mean that, Meier is just curious."
Gao Ning raised his eyebrows, bowed and said: "Prince, Meier has always been straightforward and has no intentions, so don't take offense."
At this moment, the waiter from the shop came up from the stairs and saw that there were two more people in the room. He was stunned for a moment, then walked towards Fu Nanling, put the tea bowl on the table, and said: "The new tea just delivered, here's You guys have a try."
The waiter turned around to look at the brothers and sisters Gao Ning, and asked with a smile, "Do you two want to buy ready-made clothes, or to order?"
Gao Meier frowned unhappily, and said, "We are together."
Seeing that Fu Nanling didn't speak, the waiter in the shop said: "Forgive me for my clumsy eyesight, miss. I don't know which of the distinguished guests will choose the clothes?"
Ji Linglan looked at the crowd and replied out loud, "I'll buy it."
The waiter from the shop came to the hanger and said: "My lord, this is the best garment in our shop, all of which are made of high-quality silk, and the patterns embroidered on this dress are all invited by us in Kyoto." Good embroiderer. Especially this one, the red-crowned crane on this round-neck gown was embroidered by Master Lin, it is absolutely top-quality!"
"Master Lin?" Gao Meier suddenly called out, walked to the hanger and took off the dress, carefully looked at the stitches on it, and said, "No, this stitch is obviously not embroidered by Master Lin."
"Miss really has extraordinary eyesight!" The waiter in the shop was not stingy with compliments, and said: "This is just a sample, and naturally it was not embroidered by Mr. Lin. If the young master is sure to buy it, the younger one will show the real one. After all, Mr. Lin embroidered it." Embroidery is extremely precious."
"That's true. Mrs. Lin was the best embroiderer in the palace before. She specially made clothes for the emperor. Even the empresses in the palace may not be able to wear the clothes she made. Take it out quickly, we want this dress."
The waiter in the shop showed joy on his face when he heard the words, and said: "Miss, we sell this round neck robe at 300 taels, not a second price, do you really want to buy it?"
"It's only 300 taels, do you think we can't afford it? I don't have any vision, go get it quickly." Gao Mei'er's delicate face was full of arrogance.
"Yes, yes, I'll get it now, everyone, wait a moment." Er Xing, the shop boy, hurried downstairs.
Ji Linglan didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched, this girl is called Cousin Fu Nanling, she is a relative of the emperor, a poor poor man like him can't afford to offend.
Ji Linglan wanted to be the background wall, but others didn't think so.
Gao Meier sized Ji Linglan up and down, and asked curiously: "Cousin, which lord's house does this son belong to?"
Fu Nanling replied indifferently: "I belong to the palace."
Gao Meier was stunned, with a clear expression on his face, he stopped paying attention to Ji Linglan, went to Fu Nanling and sat down, and asked attentively: "Cousin, your complexion is not very good , Are you feeling unwell?"
Fu Nanling frowned impatiently, and said, "I don't need you to worry about my king's body."
Gao Ning's heart tightened when he heard the words, and he said quickly: "Mei'er, there is no place for you to sit in front of the lord, get up quickly."
Gao Meier didn't seem to understand other people's faces, and said coquettishly: "Brother, the prince is our cousin, and my father said that the emperor's uncle is going to marry me and my cousin, and we will be a family from now on. Why should I sit down?" No."
Fu Nanling said expressionlessly: "Marriage? This king, the rightful lord, has not received any news, and Lord Shangshu is really well informed. Also, you are just a daughter born to a concubine. What relationship do you have with this king? If you want to climb high, you can't afford me, my lord."
"My lord, Meier is young and doesn't know the depth of her words, please forgive me." Gao Ning pulled Gao Meier up, and reprimanded: "Have you had enough trouble? Go back with me."
Gao Meier shook Gao Ning's hand, and said aggrievedly: "Cousin, how can you say that about Meier, Meier is the daughter of the eldest princess..."
Fu Nanling smiled contemptuously, and said: "Why didn't I hear Aunt Huang mention it, and there is a daughter like you? The daughter's family doesn't have the slightest bit of restraint. You have completely embarrassed the Gao family."
Gao Meier turned pale, turned to look at Gao Ning, and said, "Brother, you scratched me."
Gao Ning loosened the grip on his hands a little, and said: "My lord, we don't want to disturb you, so we will leave first."
Gao Meier looked at Fu Nanling earnestly, grabbed his wrist, and said: "Brother, if you want to go, go, I finally saw my cousin once, I won't go."
Gao Ning said with an ugly face: "If you mess around again, you won't even think about going out again!"
Ji Linglan watched from the side, and felt a headache for Kang Ning. He thought that the characters in those TV dramas used exaggerated techniques, and it was impossible for them to be so stupid in reality. Who knew that he had opened his eyes today.
"Thump, thump, thump," the sound of footsteps from the stairs interrupted the farce, a middle-aged man came up, followed by the waiter holding the wooden box.
The man looked at the crowd with a smile on his face, and said: "Guest officers, I am Li Cheng, the shopkeeper of this clothing store. Please forgive me for my mistakes."
Seeing Gao Ning looking at Li Cheng, Gao Meier shook off his hand vigorously, ran towards the shop waiter, and said, "Is this the round-neck robe that Master Lin made?"
Upon seeing this, Li Cheng quickly said: "Miss is right, this Yunhe round neck robe is made by Master Lin."
"Then hurry up and let me see."
Li Cheng opened the wooden box, and what caught his eye was a lifelike red-crowned crane, with one foot upright and the other slightly curved, with layers of cloud patterns under his feet, as if walking on the clouds, lifelike.
"That's right, it was indeed made by Master Lin." Gao Mei'er said flatteringly, "Brother, your birthday will be in two days, and this round neck robe will be my birthday present to you."
Fu Nanling was favored by Fu Lianchao since he was a child, and all his clothes were made by Mr. Lin. This is almost a well-known fact in the officialdom in Kyoto. Gao Meier didn't think that Fu Nanling would care about this kind of clothes.In Gao Mei'er's eyes, Ji Linglan was just one of Fu Nanling's disciples, with a humble status, she couldn't be compared with them, and automatically ignored him, that's why she was so reckless.
Gao Meier didn't know how to observe words and expressions at all, and didn't notice that Fu Nanling's eyes were getting colder and colder when he looked at her, but Gao Ning saw everything in his eyes, and felt more and more disappointed with this younger sister.
"My lord, we brothers and sisters still have something to do, so we won't bother you."
After finishing speaking, Gao Ning ignored Gao Meier's resistance, and forced her to walk towards the stairs.
Gao Meier struggled vigorously, said: "Brother, what are you doing, let go, I won't go, I won't go."
Seeing this farce, Fu Nanling frowned more and more, and said: "Gao Ning, Mr. Shang Shu devotes all his energy to the country, so he neglects his family, but as the eldest son, you should also take care of your family. , even a concubine's young lady can't be so uneducated."
In ancient society, it was quite a serious evaluation for a woman to be called uneducated in public, especially for a lady of a noble family, it would only be more embarrassing to spread the word.Others might have some scruples, but Fu Nanling has always gone his own way, never caring about anyone, saying such words from his mouth is completely in line with his personality.
Gao Meier stopped struggling, and stared at Fu Nanling blankly. There were no outsiders around just now. Fu Nanling said that although she would be sad, it would not be too embarrassing, but now she said this in front of the poor. It was hard for her who was arrogant to accept it.
Gao Ning's face became even more ugly, and he bowed and said: "My lord has taught me a lesson. Gao Ning must discipline my sister well. If I offended my lord today, I ask my lord to show my aunt's favor and forgive me this time."
Fu Nanling said coldly: "Let's go."
"Gao Ning resigns." After saluting, Gao Ning went downstairs with his eyebrows pulled.
Li Chenghe returned to his senses, knelt down on the ground, and said: "The grass people see the prince."
Fu Nanling has always lived in the deep palace and rarely appeared in front of everyone, so no one has seen him even in a shop like Xihe that often deals with wealthy families.
Fu Nanling ignored the two of them, turned to look at Ji Linglan, and said, "Alan, which one do you like, let's go after choosing."
"That light blue set, and that dark blue set, that's all."
Fu Nanling looked at Li Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Don't wrap it up yet."
"Yes, Caomin will pack it now."
Li Cheng and the waiter stood up in panic, packed the two clothes that Ji Linglan had chosen, and offered them with both hands.Ji Linglan took it and asked, "How much money?"
Li Cheng waved his hands quickly, and said: "A villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, so this clothes should be treated like a villain to honor the prince."
Fu Nanling frowned, and said displeasedly: "Do you think this king can't afford this money?"
Li Cheng explained quickly after hearing the words: "Don't dare, dare not, the villain dare not. The prince is already in the small shop, it is already full of splendor, how can the villain accept the prince's silver."
Ji Linglan helplessly said: "Shopkeeper, the lord hates flatterers the most. You can accept the clothes as much as you want."
Li Cheng looked at Ji Linglan, saw a smile on his face, he was very kind, he hesitated, and said: "These two sets of ready-made clothes cost 100 taels of silver."
"Yes, then 100 taels, I think the shopkeeper will not be greedy for the prince's money."
Li Cheng's expression changed, and he said with a sly smile, "My lord, what the villain said just now was the price to sell to others. Naturally, you can't sell it to the prince at this price. You can pay 50 taels for two sets of clothes."
Ji Linglan paused when she took out the bank note, and asked with concern: "50 taels, can the shopkeeper get back the money?"
Li Cheng hurriedly said: "It can be taken back, it can be taken back, thank you for your concern, young master."
Ji Linglan nodded, took out a 50 taels from the silver ticket, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "Here, 50 taels, thank you shopkeeper."
Li Cheng glanced at Fu Nanling who was at the side, and respectfully took the bank note in Ji Linglan's hand.
Fifty taels is a lot of money for ordinary people. Even if Ji Linglan has earned three years of money, his net worth is only a few thousand taels, and one third of it was given to him by Fu Nanling. Of course This is minus the money to buy medical equipment.Even though he had already used Fu Nanling's identity and negotiated the price up to 50 taels, he still felt pain in the flesh.
Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling and said, "My lord, it's noon now, we should go back."
Fu Nanling stood up, looked at the round neck robe of Yunhe in the second-hand store, and said: "Shopkeeper, this king bought this dress, and you send it to Mr. Gao's house, the minister of punishment, and say that this king gave it to Gao. Young Master Ning's birthday present."
Hearing this, Xiao Lizi took out the bank note from his pocket, handed it to Li Cheng, and said, "Did you hear the prince's order clearly?"
Li Cheng looked at the bank note, it was worth 300 taels, he immediately beamed with joy, and said: "I understand, don't worry, my lord, the villain will definitely deliver it."
Fu Nanling looked at Li Cheng and said lightly: "I don't want others to know what happened today. If you hear any rumors, then you will never want to open this shop again."
Li Cheng's body froze, and he hurriedly assured: "Don't worry, my lord, nothing happened just now, and the villain has never seen my lord."
Fu Nanling didn't say any more, and walked towards the stairs first.Seeing this, Lu Jiu quickly stepped forward, walking in front of Fu Nanling, and Ji Linglan followed closely behind, together with Yingwei, protecting Fu Nanling in the middle.
Everyone went downstairs together and came to the street to look around at the shops. Ji Linglan asked, "My lord, shall we go back to the palace, or have something to eat nearby?"
"Go home, I'm a little tired."
Looking at Fu Nanling's face, Ji Linglan nodded and said, "Okay."
The carriage was driven back to the palace by Liu Xi, and they had no choice but to walk back. After walking slowly for half an hour, they came to the gate of the Palace of the Mausoleum.Looking at the buildings occupying the entire street in front of him, Ji Linglan couldn't help swallowing. He had to admit that he really came to the city as a country bumpkin - he had never seen the world.
The guard at the gate saw that it was Fu Nanling, he hurriedly greeted him, and saluted, "I will see you, my lord."
Fu Nanling responded lightly: "Get up."
"Thank you, my lord."
