Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

Xie Yun knelt upright, his eyes indifferently sweeping outside the curtain, but in fact, he was always looking at the little girl kneeling opposite the table out of the corner of his eye.

Luo Qin was wearing a lake blue straight-sleeved skirt today. The lapels and cuffs were decorated with silver thread embroidered plum blossom patterns. Her hair was tied up very delicately and embellished with three or two pearl flowers, which made her look more elegant.

She did not paint her face with powder, rouge, or cinnabar like the girls nowadays. Ever since I met her, even in my dreams, she has always shown her original appearance.

Indeed, her appearance did not need those vulgar things to set off.

Xie Yun's gaze fell on the face of the girl opposite him again, especially her dark peach blossom eyes. The girl seemed to sense something and raised her eyes slightly. Xie Yun looked away without saying a word.

Luo Qin raised her eyes to observe the handsome man opposite her. He was wearing a long green robe of Emperor Shi, a tall crown with a wide belt, his black hair was combed meticulously, his eyebrows were long and his eyes were deep, like an abyss with no bottom.

Luo Qin smacked his lips inwardly, thinking that he was indeed a famous celebrity in Jiankang. He was a feast for the eyes from head to toe.

At this time, Xie Qi was chattering with Luo Qin about the market in Jiankang.

"Cousin Luo, we have to go shopping. There is anything you want in the shops in Jiankang, and there are many northern Xianbei Hu people who come here to do business."

"We also have plenty of rouge and powder that your daughters like, and we have all kinds of jewelry. I guarantee you'll be satisfied when you go and have a look!"

The economic development of this era was far less than that of the Tang and Song dynasties. The market used the previous dynasty's system of "lines of shops", that is, shops selling similar goods were arranged in rows, which were called "lines of shops" or "market lines".

The system of "Si" was established to facilitate market transactions and government control over merchants. Until the Tang Dynasty, "Si" still referred to the same row of goods of the same kind.

In addition, it is divided into "big market" and "small market" according to size, and into "morning market", "evening market" and "night market" according to time.

"We can go and see what kind of clothes cousin Luo likes... Hey, wait." Xie Qi paused from her chattering and looked at Luo Qin's light-colored clothes. "Cousin Luo, where did you buy this skirt? The color is so pretty."

Most clothes of this era were dark in color. One reason for this was that they were stain-resistant and looked dignified, and the other was the dyeing technology.

Light colors are difficult to control, easy to dye bad, difficult to adjust, and easy to fade, so most clothes are dark.

But most of Luoqin's clothes are light-colored. How did she do that? Did she buy them at a high price somewhere?

"My clothes?" Luo Qin looked down at her clothes, then smiled sheepishly and said, "This was dyed in my private workshop."

"Most of my clothes are made by buying white cloth and dyeing them myself. Some are made by buying silk thread and dyeing it before weaving it into cloth."

She had studied Chinese painting in her previous life and knew some color mixing techniques, so she mixed the colors and dyed them herself.

"You dyed it yourself?!" Xie Qi was completely shocked, "Is your servant so powerful?"

“…I guess it’s okay.”

The technology was provided by her, but there is no need to say this. Who among the noble girls would do this? If we talk too much about this kind of thing, there will be more to explain, so it is better not to say it.

Xie Yun also turned his head for a rare occasion and looked directly at the girl opposite him.

This color of silk dress really suits her.

There were a wide variety of silk fabrics in this era, including brocade, damask, silk, gauze, gauze, etc. The patterns were mostly printed, dyed and embroidered, and the gold weaving and embroidery of later generations did not exist yet.

"I've noticed that cousin Luo's hair accessories are also very beautiful. Was this also made by your servants?"

"……Yes."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, where did Cousin Luo find these skillful servants?"

"It's Rufang..."

Rufang learned it from her.

"Ah, it's that girl." Xie Qi was even more surprised.

Rufang, that girl, looks as weak and frail as her master, but it turns out she has this skill.

While the two were talking, the carriage moved steadily towards the market.

Since ancient times, the separation of the city and the town has been followed, and there is a rule that no one can live in the town or in the market. It is about six or seven miles from Luofu to Liesi. The road condition in the city is good, and Xie's horse is strong, so the carriage arrived in more than two quarters of an hour.

When they reached the entrance, the three got off the carriage and met up with Xie Cheng.

Waiting at the entrance was not only Xie Cheng, but also a large group of Xie's servants.

When Luo Qin saw this group of people, he wondered, does it take dozens of slaves to protect you when you go shopping?

She soon found out why.

After getting off the car, Luo Qin put on her veil again, and the white gauze covered her from head to knees.

There were not too many restrictions in this era, and people could go out freely without having to cover their faces. This veil was used by the Hu people in the northwest to block the wind and sand. It was introduced into the Central Plains but was not as common as it was during the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Therefore, Luo Qin was the only person in the entire market who wore a veil, and those who didn't know her thought she was a Hu woman.

The market here is well-organized, with constant hawking sounds, a dazzling array of goods everywhere, and it is very lively.

"Cousin Luo, let's go to the rouge and powder shop and take a look."

Xie Qi waved his hand and led the way to the street market over there.

Luo Qin and his servant followed Xie Qi, while the two brothers Xie Yun and Xie Cheng behind them did not speak to each other after they nodded and greeted each other at the first meeting, as if they could not see each other.

In fact, Luo Qin felt that it was quite awkward to have these two around. She and Xie Qi had known each other for a long time, and Xie Qi was a talkative and enthusiastic young man who would not let things get boring. The two of them could chat well, but Xie Dalang and Xie Erlang...

Oh, never mind, we’re here anyway.

"Ah! Look, it's Xie Dalang!" Suddenly, a girl screamed.

Then, countless people from the bustling street cast their eyes towards this side.

"Ahhh! Look! It's really Xie Dalang!"

"Lay Buddhist Qiongying has come to the shop!"

"Thank you, Sir, for looking at me. I, Chen A-Lian, have admired you for a long time!"

"Look at me, I, Wei's Ayi, have long admired Mr. Xie's great name!"

……

Most of those who worshipped them crazily were young girls, as well as young men who admired Xie Yun's talent. Old people and children also came to join in the fun, and for a while, they surrounded them.

There were swarms of zombies like those in zombie movies that smelled the scent of living people, swarming over.

Luo Qin: Good, good, good, he really is the contemporary Wei Jie. This is a reenactment of the scene where Wei Jie was stared to death.

Xie's servants quickly protected their masters.

Xie Qi subconsciously protected Luo Qin. Xie Jun wanted to take action, but Xie Qi immediately said, "Brother, stay away from us."

Xie Yun: "..."

Wu Yan was protecting her husband. Wu Lang was afraid that the existing guards were not enough to protect him, so he went to the nearby Xie shop to gather Xie's servants for help.

Countless girls threw fruits, sachets, handkerchiefs and other things at Xie Yun, but Wu Yan and dozens of servants took them all for their master.

Xie Yun: I regret it. If I had known this would happen, I should have worn a veil like the girl from Luoyang.

He didn't like going out in the past. He would always go out in secret, or imitate the girls wearing veils. Today, he...

Well, he admitted that he didn't wear a veil just because he wanted Miss Luo to look at him more.

Luo Qin was almost crushed by the crowd, being pushed by the flow of people without his feet touching the ground.

Xie Qi wanted to send Luo Qin out of the crowded crowd, but the admirers were too crazy and they couldn't squeeze out. As a last resort, Xie Qi called Xie Cheng, "Second brother, please help me."

Xie Cheng squeezed over from the crowd and brought his followers to protect Luo Qin, and the few of them squeezed out of the crowd.
