The Xiao Family Compound is located on the East Street of Xuzhou City. The people living here are all dignitaries and local families.
In the words of my previous life, this is a typical wealthy area.
The Huaiyang Restaurant is located in the city center of Xuzhou City and is like a landmark building.
Because he had seen it in the carriage, Xiao Qingluo came to Huaiyang Restaurant easily with his memory.
Along the way, he avoided eight searches by the Xiao family's servants.
This even made Xiao Qingluo almost think that he had returned to the time when he was fighting guerrilla warfare with the enemy squad in the primeval forest.
When he arrived downstairs at Huaiyang Restaurant, Xiao Qingluo saw Menglan sneaking around and peeking in the alley next to it.
Menglan also saw Xiao Qingluo, and immediately waved her hand in surprise, whispering, "Miss, Miss, this way!"
Xiao Qingluo walked over with a smile. Menglan grabbed Xiao Qingluo's hand and said, "Miss, I was so scared! The master sent many people to look for you. I pretended to be out looking for you so that they wouldn't get suspicious!"
Xiao Qingluo praised him, "Smart! I'll give you a string of candied haws later."
"Tanghulu!"
Menglan's eyes lit up!
But then he remembered something and followed Xiao Qingluo, asking, "Miss, why did you suddenly disappear just now? I couldn't find you under the bed, in the cabinet, or under the table. Where did you hide?"
Xiao Qingluo said mysteriously, "I'm invisible."
Menglan: “Ah?!”
Meng Lan said in shock, "Miss, are you some kind of otherworldly expert? Can you teach me? I also want to be invisible so that no one can see me when I sneak into the kitchen to eat!"
Xiao Qingluo chuckled: "You have that
This magical ability, just for stealing food?"
Menglan tilted her head: "What else?"
Xiao Qingluo was helpless: "Well, I don't know how to be invisible, it's just because I can hide."
Menglan nodded and said with admiration: "Miss, you are really good at hide-and-seek!"
Xiao Qingluo asked around along the way and finally arrived at Qiao's Cloth Shop, the most famous shop in the entire Xuzhou City.
The entire cloth shop was filled with ladies from wealthy families and beautiful women wearing gorgeous clothes and precious jewelry on their heads.
Some of them were choosing fabrics, and some were choosing ready-made dresses.
Xiao Qingluo only needed to look at a few long skirts to know that the clothes sold in Qiao's Cloth Shop were of good quality and the styles were also very nice.
When they walked into Qiao's cloth shop, the noble ladies around them looked at them with disgust and started pointing and talking at the two sisters.
"Look at those two people, their clothes are so tattered and patched up that if you don't know them, you might think they are some monk's patchwork clothes!"
"Whose women are these? They're actually here at Qiao's Cloth Shop? Aren't they here to buy clothes?"
"Buying clothes? I guess I'm just here to enjoy the sight. If I can't afford the clothes, can I still not look at them?"
The chatter and laughter of the women attracted a lot of attention to Xiao Qingluo and the other two.
A young girl dressed as a maid came over with a frown on her face, but she still spoke in a kind tone and asked, "What kind of clothes do you two want to buy? Why don't you tell me and I'll recommend some to you?"
Xiao Qingluo glanced at the girl, who spoke in a kind tone but whose eyes and brows couldn't hide her disdain, and smiled faintly, saying, "Don't worry, let's take a look at it ourselves first."
Xiao Qingluo said this in a voice that was neither loud nor soft.
The women around suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! What did I say? I'm just here to feast my eyes!"
"If you can't afford it, don't even look at it. It's just an eyesore. I don't know where this beggar came from, but he's filled the whole Qiao's Cloth Shop with a terrible smell!"
"Sister, you're wrong. What's wrong with someone coming to see me? Can't they see me if they can't afford it? It's good to satisfy their cravings. Maybe they can have a good dream when they go back, dreaming of themselves wearing fine clothes and having enough food and clothes to eat and wear warmly?"
These words caused everyone to laugh again.
Menglan lowered her head, not daring to look up at all, her face was so red that it almost bled.
I was afraid that when I looked up, I would see the contemptuous looks of those women who were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes.
Xiao Qingluo turned a deaf ear to the sounds around him.
But the 'shopping guide' girl from Qiao's Cloth Shop next to her frowned at this moment, and the expression on her face was no longer hidden, revealing a hint of impatience.
"You can look at it, but you can't touch it. Every piece of clothing and fabric here is worth at least ten taels of silver. If you get it dirty, you'll have to pay for it!"
The little girl said this and walked away quickly.
But her words implied that Xiao Qingluo couldn't afford it and couldn't afford to pay for it.
Menglan lowered her head even lower. She pulled Xiao Qingluo's clothes and said, "Miss, how about we go?"
Xiao Qingluo took Menglan's hand and said with a smile, "Why are you leaving? We haven't bought any clothes yet, and we haven't even gotten the dress we promised to give you. If we leave now, what are we going to wear tomorrow?"
Menglan pursed her lips and said, "But..."
Suddenly, Menglan said
Before he could even finish his words, he suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
Menglan blurted out, "Miss, it seems to be the second young lady!"
Xiao Qingluo looked in the direction of Menglan's finger and saw Xiao Ruolian and He Miao picking out several long skirts with bright colors and excellent workmanship.
The shopping guide next to her was a graceful woman who was dressed simply but showed off her charm and figure to the fullest.
