033 Do You Bind Your Feet?
Now the two of them are suffering. On such a hot day, they didn’t carry water and fan. But what they bothered was that they didn’t know each other well and were embarrassed to ask for a loan.
She Qin was out of sight. The two of them slowly dashed behind and distanced themselves from the main force: "Sister, it's okay. Then I'll find an opportunity to create some water."
"Is it necessary?" Su Baile walked while pulling hatred: "I have a lot of water in my space. If I want to drink, I can go in at any time."
Can you drink the water you transformed into?
If you dare to drink, it doesn’t mean that Su Baile dares to do it either.
Sheqin stopped talking immediately and looked at Su Baile innocently with her big round eyes.
The two followed everyone and arrived for about an hour. However, they had only arrived. They had to go into the town and were investigated by the gatekeepers.
Su Baile had been so tired that he was dry and his mouth was really dead. He could not go directly to the city after such a long journey! If he had money in the future, he would have to get a carriage. After walking like this for two hours, he would have to get a blood blister from his feet.
When Su Baile thought of the bleeding blisters on the soles of his feet, he noticed something.
That is, the women here are all tall and small feet, and few people will go to bind their feet.
"Sheqin, can you Qinghong Village people bind your feet?"
Sheqin stretched her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "We don't have one. It's not easy for us to want a pair of small feet, just a little spell. As for the country of Jiuzhou, I have heard that ordinary ladies of noble families will bind their feet, which is a symbol of their status. Even if ordinary people don't have to worry about food, they still need women to do some physical work. They have to do physical work, but small feet are not good."
Su Baile nodded, and the group of people in front had already been waiting for them in front: "Okay, let's go quickly."
Then I'll be fine if I enter the town.
"Wife, Miss She, come here." Xie stood by the roadside and waved to them.
Su Baile didn't bother to wipe the sweat and walked forward: "Mother-in-law, what's the matter?"
"When you enter the town later, be careful. There are soldiers from the prefect guarding the town. Never look around. You can answer whatever others ask you, and never answer wrong."
"Wow, why are there still soldiers guarding this town?" She Qin asked curiously.
"You don't know this, right?" Xie obviously loved Sheqin a little. She said while wearing a palm fan: "In the past, our village was not peaceful. Every year, robbers and bandits came into the village. Later, the imperial court sent troops to guard it, so it was easier for our village."
"Remember, when you enter the town later, you must not have conflicts with these soldiers. No matter what they say, you just ignore them. Do you understand?"
Sheqin nodded.
Su Baile frowned.
If you can't have conflicts with the soldiers, this mother-in-law really looks down on herself. Why does she think she can have conflicts with these soldiers?
Or is there a heavy army guarding here, and there is a big man in the town?
"Okay, we can go in." Xie watched the crowd in front of him start walking towards the town, and then she followed with She Qin and Su Baile.
Unexpectedly, the soldiers did not deliberately make things difficult for them.
"Okay, let's go to the cloth shop to get you two pieces of cloth first, otherwise it would be too late and there would be nothing good-looking."
The three of them came to the town to buy cloth. Now, as soon as they entered the town, Xie took them straight to the cloth shop.
When he arrived at the cloth shop, Su Baile couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
By the way, although there are many people here, there are many types of cloth, such as cotton, linen, and even silk and satin, etc.
But the fabric has a little color, and the other is that the printing colors on the fabric are too eye-catching, such as red with green, gray with red, etc.
The cloth in this cloth shop is mainly black, gray and red, with a small amount of blue, with few green, but absolutely no yellow. Su Baile is clear about this, yellow, which can only be used by the royal people.
The materials used in these cloths are also extremely rough. Even if the cotton cloth is good, there is no need to mention silk. It would be nice to have some in a country town, but more of them are linen.
Su Baile really dared not agree with the color scheme of the fabric.
Black gray is better, and basically they are mainly plain. If the red cloth is a big red base, it is paired with balls of pink hibiscus. If it is a pink base, it must be a big red flower. As for blue, it may be because men use more, the flowers are relatively simple, and some are paired with white clouds or deeper blue sea water patterns. And the green cloth...
Not only are there few, but they are all plain colors, without a slight variegated color mixed in.
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this cloth?" As soon as he entered the store, Xie fell in love with a pink cloth. When he saw the flowers on it, Su Baile opened his eyes.
She had no objection to the pink cloth, but this pink color paired with a large green hibiscus, probably won’t be a new cut?
——When it comes to it, are there green hibiscus?
"This cloth is thirty-five per foot." The shopkeeper was a man in his forties with a beard on his chin. He glanced at the cloth, looked at Xie and others, and offered a price.
Su Baile didn't react much to how much cloth cost per foot. She didn't even have the bottom line of purchasing power of a penny here. However, a cloth cost thirty-five yuan per foot, which is probably expensive.
But, not!
Xie asked Sheqin without blinking his eyes, "Miss She, do you like it?"
Sheqin looked up at Su Baile, and when she saw that she had no reaction, Fang nodded and said, "I like it."
"Okay, just like it." Xie's eyes narrowed into a slit with smile: "Shopkeeper, I want this piece of cloth," she gestured while estimating, "cut six feet for me."
"Xiao Li, cut six feet of cloth for this guest." The boss responded with a smile, and then called on others to go.
As soon as I explained this, a waiter immediately walked over with a pair of big scissors and a ruler: "Auntie, do you want a six-foot cloth?"
"Yes, cut six feet for me, and I want to make cotton coats for my daughter-in-law."
Su Baile curled her lips, and the daughter-in-law in her mouth must not be pointing to her.
