Zhao Ling'er named her small courtyard "Qingya Xiaozhu", and this will be her small home from now on! If possible, she may be able to buy it in the future.
After the belongings were moved into the yard, Zhao Linger crossed her arms and looked around the yard.
The most important thing now is to clean the three rooms in the main house, where we will stay tonight.
Oh, I also need to buy oil lamps and mattresses before dark.
Not sure if the water in the well could be used, Zhao Ling'er walked over and saw something similar to a pulley. You could lift the bucket into the well, and then turn the pulley to lift the bucket up.
Zhao Ling'er looked around but couldn't find the bucket.
Oops, there’s nothing there, so let’s go to the market early and have a look!
Zhao Ling'er is already very familiar with the process of moving. In just a few years since she started working, she has moved almost ten times, most of which were done by herself.
However, there are moving companies in modern times. As long as you have money, you only need to organize all the things yourself. The people from the moving company will even help pack and move the items to the new address, without any effort on your own.
But this is in ancient times, huh? In ancient times, were there people who specialized in moving people?
It would be great if you were around, he would definitely know!
You can't ask Mu Yunqing either, he just came back from her!
But there’s no rush, since my things have already been moved here and I won’t need them for the time being.
Zhao Ling'er carefully inspected the entire courtyard. Except for a dusty bed in each of the east and west bedrooms and an old table in the main room, there was nothing else.
What should I buy?
Zhao Ling'er felt that she was confused. There were too many things to buy, but she didn't know which ones to buy first.
Forget it, according to the basic necessities of life, let’s buy the most urgent things first.
If only there was someone I could turn to for advice!
Why!
Walking to the main road where Wenda Library is located, Zhao Ling'er stopped a carriage and ordered it to go to the Liyun River.
By the way, you can go find Li Heng!
She hasn’t told him about her move yet! And she hasn’t seen him for several days, so it’s time to ask him how he’s doing lately!
Zhao Ling'er hurriedly ordered the driver to turn around and go to Yuan Datou's steamed bun shop.
Li Heng is reading in his room.
It was already past 1 o'clock, and there was not much business in the store.
Zhao Ling'er told him that she had moved closer to Wenda Bookstore, so that it would be easier for Ayao to go to and from school in the future.
Li Heng was also very happy.
He was grateful to Zhao Ling'er but also felt guilty at the same time. At the same time, he was somewhat admired and fascinated by her. He couldn't tell how he felt. In short, he always wanted to see her but was afraid of seeing her.
"Wait a moment, I'll tell the shopkeeper." Li Heng said and turned around to find the shopkeeper.
Zhao Ling'er stayed in the room where Li Heng lived. It was a small room that was probably reorganized from a former warehouse.
Li Heng has very few personal belongings, as if he only sleeps here at night.
Seeing the book Li Heng was reading just now, it was "The Book of Songs" she bought for A Yao.
Would he find such a book boring?
If he also likes reading, then she should go to the bookstore to buy more books with more profound content when she has time.
Not long after, Li Heng came back.
"Let's go, I asked for leave from the shopkeeper and I can accompany you shopping until five in the afternoon." Li Heng said to Zhao Ling'er with a smile.
"That's great!" Zhao Ling'er suddenly felt much more relaxed.
The two people got into the carriage.
"Master, go to Liyun River!" Zhao Ling'er said.
"Going to Liyun River? Do you want to buy things there?" Li Heng asked.
Zhao Ling'er frowned and said, "Except near Liyun River, I don't know any other place where household items are sold."
Li Heng said to the coachman: "Master, let's go to Jiaji."
"Jiaji?" Zhao Ling'er asked Li Heng: "Where is that place?"
"The big villages on the outskirts of Yunzhou will take turns to set up days when vendors gather to trade. On that day, some vendors from several surrounding villages, including the city, will gather there to set up stalls and do business. Things there are cheaper than in Liyunhe.
There are a lot of them, and there are a lot of cloths woven by peasant women in each village, shoes, brooms, baskets, etc. Everything you can use is basically there." Li Heng explained.
"Oh." Zhao Ling'er nodded. Is it as lively as a modern ancient meeting?
Zhao Ling'er was full of expectations for going to Jiaji.
"How have you been at the steamed bun shop lately? Are you tired from working?" Zhao Ling'er asked.
Li Heng nodded and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
"By the way, what other books do you want to read? I'll bring them to you next time I buy books for A Yao!" Zhao Ling'er asked with concern.
Li Heng suddenly felt uncomfortable and said, "I just read it occasionally when I have free time. I don't usually read."
Zhao Ling'er secretly shrugged, pursed her lips, and glanced sideways at Li Heng. If you like reading, just say so. It's not a bad thing!
The two of them walked all the way to Jiaji in silence.
After getting off the carriage, Zhao Ling'er saw that the streets were lined with small commodities, and it was endless as far as the eye could see.
Each vendor is responsible for one or two stalls and shouts loudly about the items he sells.
"Hey, what is this?" Zhao Ling'er was suddenly attracted by a stall filled with porcelain pots.
"This is a fuel-saving lamp. Girl, buy one!" the vendor said with a smile, picking up the most beautiful one and handing it to Zhao Ling'er.
Zhao Ling'er took it and looked at it carefully. Is this a fuel-saving lamp?
It turns out that there really are fuel-saving lamps in the world!
I saw that the whole body of the lamp was light blue, with a small opening on the abdomen, and a bowl-shaped semicircle on top. The bowl contained a small half bowl of oil, and there was a thick wick in the middle of the oil.
Although it's not very exquisite, Zhao Ling'er likes it very much.
This should be a must-have for every household!
buy one!
"How much does this lamp from the shopkeeper cost?" Zhao Ling'er asked.
"It's not expensive, it's only 200 yuan," the shopkeeper said with a smile.
Li Heng quietly poked Zhao Linger with his elbow.
Zhao Ling'er didn't notice at all.
She took out the silver and handed it to the vendor.
The vendor happily took the money and said, "I'll wrap it up for the girl!"
Taking the oil lamp, Li Heng complained to Zhao Ling'er as he walked: "Why did you buy it in such a hurry? There are many more in front of you! You haven't chosen yet! And you don't bargain, you just give them as much as they want?"
Zhao Ling'er stuck out her tongue. She also felt that she was a little reckless. There might be more beautiful oil lamps ahead!
"Okay, next time I pick something, you bargain! I'm not good at bargaining!" Zhao Ling'er said to Li Heng.
Not far forward, Zhao Ling'er saw a row of brooms made of sorghum placed on the ground. They were uniform in thickness and moderately soft and hard. She picked them up and made some gestures on the ground. They were very suitable.
I haven’t seen Li Heng for a long time, and I suddenly miss him a little bit.
