Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 463 Su He and the others go shopping

Su He and his family first sent people to clean the house, and then bought some daily necessities and bedding. Su He and his parents went to buy things for themselves, and sent a carriage back to the manor to pick up the rest of the people.

A group of people happily divided into three groups and started their own actions. Now that they had a house, their mood also improved. Su He wanted to buy some clothes. After all, if he didn't buy some popular styles when he came to the capital, how could he be considered to have come to the capital?

They first went to a relatively large cloth shop and picked out a few sets of clothes for each person. Not to mention that it was not as expensive as imagined, at least the price was within Su He's reasonable range. Su He thought that it was probably because he had earned more money and his consumption level was rising.

Su He and his friends bought a lot, and the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic. He even gave them a few underwear at the end. They were all made of fine cotton cloth. Although they were not expensive, they were often used. There would be no leftovers after taking them home, and there would always be someone else who could wear them. Su He never refused gifts, and her fortune started with gifts.

The carriage that Su He and his friends brought was about to be full. Su He's father smiled and said, "We can't buy any more, or we'll have to walk back underground."

When Su He heard that they were going to walk back, he thought about how far it was and decided to forget it. There would be many more opportunities in the future. They got in the carriage and went back together. The roads in the capital were good, all paved with smooth bluestone slabs, and the carriage was very stable on them.

The streets are filled with beautiful women in gorgeous clothes, and there are also many handsome young men. Even the old men and women have their hair combed neatly, and the children have fair and flawless faces. This is the capital city, and people's faces are full of satisfaction and superiority, because most of them speak Mandarin, and you can tell they are from Kyoto as soon as you hear them.

You can tell where people are from by their accents. Su He and his family can speak Mandarin. Their master Ye is from Beijing, so they naturally learned Mandarin. Moreover, the five brothers and sisters of the Su family speak standard Mandarin, which is also because Master Ye taught them specifically.

Su He's parents can speak Mandarin, but with a slight accent, which is not easy. It's not easy for adults to learn other dialects, so being able to speak them is good enough.

Su He and his friends still have a lot of advantages. At least they won't be bullied because of their accents. Master Ye is familiar with the capital, so when he teaches them, he asks the five brothers and sisters to speak Mandarin.

When they returned home, the maids and servants had already cleaned the yard and made the beds. Su He distributed the clothes they had bought, and everyone happily put away their things.

Su He came to his room. This bedroom must have been a woman's boudoir. There was a large carved bed with a new bed curtain. The table was a dressing table for women, and the stool was a small round stool with four bent legs. There were original window grilles on the windows, and a flower table and a carved wooden screen in the corner.

There are shadows of women everywhere here, so it turns out that a beautiful woman should live here. Su He asked Yingying to put the four treasures of the study and the vase that she brought with her, and on the wall Su He planned to ask his brother Su Pei to draw a few pictures for her, as his painting skills were pretty good now.

Qingming smiled and said, "Miss, I'll go pick some flowers to put in the garden. The flowers and trees in the garden are growing well."

Su He suddenly remembered that the family needed to hire a gardener, otherwise the flowers and plants would be untended. She quickly walked to her parents' room and talked to her father about hiring a gardener.

His father had actually thought of it. There were too few servants in the house, and they all needed to buy one for the cleaning staff, the cook, and the gardener. He said to Su He, "Tell your master to buy one tomorrow in a nearby town. I heard the price is cheaper there."

Su He helped his parents pack up, and the three of them went to check out the courtyards of Su He's three brothers. They were in the second courtyard, which was the quietest, so it was arranged as their room.

The three of them have their own rooms, and the largest one in the middle is used as their study. The three of them are sorting out the books they brought with them, and they don't want to ask others to do it for them, so they can put them in order and use them with peace of mind.

Two of the masters lived in this courtyard, and the rest lived in the third courtyard. In the garden at the end, there was a large space for a swing, and they planned to clear a flat area there where they would practice martial arts in the future.

The rest of the place remained unchanged, it was a good layout, no need to bother with any more renovations. Su He had time this time, so she took Yingying and Qingming around the yard to get familiar with the environment.
