Early the next morning, Tian Minyan was informed that two pretty girls had come outside. After getting dressed and freshened up, she walked out of the room and saw two girls aged sixteen or seventeen standing by the door waiting.
"Hello, Miss." As soon as the two of them saw Tian Minyan, they bowed and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty ordered us to come and serve the Miss."
Tian Minyan hurriedly returned the half salute and said with a slight smile: "Sisters, get up quickly."
Leading the two people into the room, Tian Minyan saw that they were all wearing Bijia dresses, one of them was purple, their faces were like the full moon, their decent smiles were just right, their hands were folded in front of their stomachs, they looked calm and neat, with only a hint of alienation and inquiry.
.The other person is dressed in aqua blue, with curved eyebrows and slightly raised mouth. He is very delicate and looks lively.
"What are the names of the sisters?" Tian Minyan looked away and asked with a smile.
"Slave Ziyi, I have seen the girl." The girl in purple clothes stepped forward and bowed.
"Hehe, this slave is Lan'er. I've met the girl before." Shui Lan also bowed.
Tian Minyan accepted it with a smile this time, but she also stood up and said with a smile: "I came from the countryside. Thanks to the emperor's grace, I was able to come to the capital to see you. I am not familiar with the way of life in Kyoto, and the people here are so sophisticated.
I'm not sure, but I hope my two sisters can give me more advice so that I don't bump into that noble man. I'll leave it to my two sisters." After saying that, she also knelt down and saluted the two of them.
Immediately afterwards, she took two more purses from Bai Mei who was standing aside, handed them to the two of them and said: "It's our first time meeting, and I don't know what my sisters like, so I won't be rude. I received these two purses.
The craftsmanship made by the girls is not as good as the craftsmanship of the sisters, who hold the nuggets."
Ziyi and Laner looked at each other and took it with a smile: "Thank you, Miss."
Zi Yi saw that she was acting according to the rules and was generous and calm. Her eyes were far away and she stepped back. She smiled and said, "Young lady, you're going to break the slaves. The prince has ordered us to come and serve you. If you want the slaves to do anything you want, just tell me."
"I shouldn't give you orders. Your Majesty's original intention is for you to advise me on how to behave. There is also a little maid waiting for me." Tian Minyan smiled and asked Bai Mei Jixiang to step forward: "You have seen two sisters. In everything, I should always ask my sisters.
Learn and ask if you don’t understand.”
"Bai Mei has met Sister Ziyi and Sister Lan'er."
Jixiang saw Baimei do what she did, and she followed suit and bowed accordingly.
"You two sisters, get up quickly. We are serving the girls together. We should help each other, no need to be polite." Zi Yi, who was older after all, helped the two of them up and said gently.
"My two girls are used to being served closely, so I'll just let them serve. But I also have some acquaintances to visit in Kyoto. Sister Ziyi and Sister Lan'er, you are used to living in Kyoto.
, and are familiar with the local customs here, how about you help me deal with these external entertainments?" Tian Minyan looked at them and asked.
It's not that she doesn't trust the people sent by Qi Shiqi. She also knows that the two maids have been sizing them up from the beginning, and she doesn't blame them. After all, it would be the same for anyone else.
It's just that she's not used to letting unfamiliar people serve her closely. Anyway, she brought Baimei Jixiang here, so she'll let them serve her personally. As for socializing and inquiring about information outside, naturally she'll let Ziyi and the others come, they're local snakes.
Well.
Zi Yi and the others are also from the prince's palace, so there is no need for rules. It is understandable that Tian Minyan arranges this. There is no reason for her and Lan'er to do this personal maid. After all, this is their first time getting along. Although they were sent by the prince, after all
It's an outsider.
If Tian Minyan allowed her and Lan'er to serve him closely, he would be in a disadvantageous position. The flattery was too serious. Even in the eyes of the maid, she just thought that this person was not worthy of the limelight and was just a petty person.
Therefore, Ziyi thinks Tian Minyan's arrangement is very reasonable.
"Then I wonder what the girl will do next?" Ziyi asked with a smile.
Tian Minyan had planned her itinerary a long time ago. When she came to Kyoto to see the emperor, it was naturally decided by the emperor, so she waited patiently. Now that she had just arrived, she naturally walked around the city of Kyoto first, and then sent a message to the Liu family for a visit.
"People say how prosperous Kyoto is, and I want to see it. I just wonder if we can go out casually?" Tian Minyan looked at her and asked.
"Girl, the prince said that the emperor's decree will not be issued for a moment. If the girl wants to look around, she can do it. The city of Kyoto is quite large. It is divided into two cities, the east and west, and the residences of noble and high-ranking adults in the middle and middle.
Most of them are in the East City. Although the West City is not the main city, it is very lively and there are many places suitable for women to go. I dare to ask the girl, do you want to have fun? Or do you want to buy something? "
Tian Minyan thought for a while and said: "I just want to get familiar with the environment here first. Sister Ziyi, do you know which are the largest restaurants, clothing shops, and jewelry shops?"
"The most famous restaurants in Kyoto are Wangyue Tower and Zuixiang Tower, which are built along the river. The chefs are all from the imperial chefs in the palace, and their taste is first-class. The one most respected by the ladies in Beijing is Tianyifang, which comes from Tianyifang.
The clothes are made of the best embroidery skills and the best materials. Only one item is produced every ten days, and it is unique. Ladies and ladies are proud to have clothes from Tianyifang. As for jewelry
Shop, of course it is Zhenbao Zhai owned by our prince." Lan'er rushed to answer, saying that Zhenbao Zhai was nothing short of glorious.
Bai Mei and Tian Minyan raised their eyebrows. They looked at each other and exchanged a look, Zhenbaozhai.
"Girl, is this Zhenbaozhai the same Zhenbaozhai that you mentioned before and for which you drew several design drawings?" Ji Xiang asked in a low voice.
Although her voice was low, Zi Yi and Lan'er heard her question clearly. They were slightly startled and looked at Tian Minyan.
Zhenbaozhai published several pictures of jewelry in the later period. The styles were novel and were the most popular, pushing the reputation of Zhenbaozhai to its peak. Ziyi once heard the manager say that the prince bought it from outside. Could it be this Miss Tian?
drawn?
"Ji Xiang!" Bai Mei glared at her, Ji Xiang shrank his neck and stepped aside.
Seeing this, Zi Yi understood clearly, and looked at Tian Minyan with a more sophisticated look, and asked: "Miss, do you want to go shopping? I ordered the carriages and horses in front to prepare."
"There's no rush, let's take a look around first, but before that, I would like to ask Sister Ziyi to give me a trip. Mrs. Yin of Shuntian Prefecture is an old friend of mine. I want to visit her when she comes back. My two maids
I’m not familiar with the place either, so I’d like to ask Sister Ziyi to hand me a greeting card.”
Zi Yi was really surprised this time, but she had received professional training and did not show it on her face. She just smiled and said: "Don't be a troublesome person. The errands ordered by the girl will be done well by this servant."
But he said, this girl Tian is not simple.
Tian Minyan smiled slightly and didn't say much. She just asked Bai Mei to prepare pen, ink and paper. She wrote the letter in her own hand and blew it dry, and asked Zi Yi to send it away without mentioning it.
