"Hu biscuits, hot biscuits."
“Fried fried balls, delicious and crispy!”
The shop stalls along the street are lined up one after another, and the shopkeepers loudly greet the passers-by.
Lu Li jumped down from the attic. He couldn't wait to follow the flow of people and walk around the streets of Chang'an, looking around to admire the scenery of Shangyuan and enjoy the long-lost comfort.
After returning to Room No. 6, the two maids had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Lang, my wife has prepared toiletries and new clothes for you..."
"lead the way."
This time, Lu Li did not shirk and followed him readily, because it was daytime and no matter how enthusiastic the young lady was, she would abide by the etiquette.
At the same time, Miss Qian Rui, who had not slept all night, was washing herself under the service of the maids.
After unscrewing the thin ivory tube, a fragrant aroma of fried armor instantly came out. With a tap of her fingertips, she brought out the brightly colored lipstick.
Banbianjiao, Shengtanxin, Tiangongqiao, Meihuanu, Dachunhong, Xiaochunhong... Miss Qianrui can paint these various lip makeups, but today she painted them with extra seriousness and detail.
Not far away, a maid opened the cabinet, took out a Persian conch and put it on the dressing table. According to legend, this thing was a mutated conch shell in the sea and was worth ten gold. It was the most coveted thrush for women in Chang'an.
The sound of the bead curtains clashing was heard, and a maidservant who was leading the way came quickly: "Madam, Lu Qing is here."
Since she was applying lip makeup, Qian Rui just hummed, indicating that she already knew.
Passing through the courtyard connected by corridors, Lu Li walked into the sliding wooden lattice door and saw a large screen with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water painted on it, which seemed to imply something.
Behind the bead curtain, there were several women walking around faintly, looking very busy.
Obviously, Qian Rui had arranged everything. The young lady who was responsible for leading the way pointed to the side and said softly: "Mr. Sir, the bathtub and toiletries are in the compartment over there. You go and wash up first." Come out later and change into new clothes."
After the all-night banquet, even if he was not drunk, he was still smelling of alcohol. In addition, it was a festival today, so Lu Li felt that it was really necessary to take a shower and change into new clothes.
However, he warned: "I will do it myself, I don't need anyone to serve me."
In this era, it was common for maids to help with watering and bathing, so it was necessary to say hello in advance.
The young lady was quite surprised. It was the first time she heard such a request and she said helplessly: "Here."
After a while, the compartment was closed tightly.
There are no showers, no saunas, and no massage jets.
There is a water diversion channel and a drainage channel, with a bathtub in the middle for people to lie in. Next to it are clothes hangers (trusses), bath beans, dental wood, and tooth powder. Although they are a bit crude, they are better than complete.
Bath beans in particular were thought to be simple items made of plant ash and slurry water, but after Lu Li used them, he realized that they were actually mixed with a lot of good stuff, such as flour, bean powder, honey locust, and pearl powder to absorb dirt. Flower juice and spices are used to enhance the fragrance.
In addition, wiping the body is also very particular. The maid prepared two kinds of cloths in advance, with the upper one made of silk and the lower one made of silk. One is made of fine material and is used for wiping the upper body, and the other is made of thick and thin material and is used for wiping the lower body.
For Lu Li, the whole process was quite novel. If he hadn't been worried about someone suddenly breaking in midway, he would have wanted to soak in it for a while longer.
"Mr. Lang, open the door."
A timid voice came from outside the door.
Lu Li put down his coat and said, "What's the matter?"
"My wife ordered me to deliver clean clothes."
"come in."
After saying this, the door of the room was slowly opened, and a young girl walked in with a new dress in her hands, her face full of calmness.
"Mr. Lang, do you want me to help you tie your head?"
"No need, I'll do it myself."
Perhaps knowing that Lu Li didn't like being served, the maid didn't say much, put down her new clothes, crossed her arms and left.
Wearing a round collar robe, a leather belt around the waist, Liuhe boots, and a black bun on the head, it is casual and decent.
Lu Li walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.
However, Miss Qianrui hasn't finished dressing up yet, and she doesn't know how long she will have to wait.
"What are you doing standing around outside? Are you afraid that the slave family will eat you? Come in."
"Help me see how this looks."
"There are a lot of banquets on the Lantern Festival. As your husband's female companion, you can't lose your dignity, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Li no longer hesitated and walked in quickly.
Gorgeous!
A high-waisted red and black skirt, a small flower-breasted jacket with narrow sleeves, and a brocade half-arm shirt, with feet as frost-
Miss Qian Rui is changing her shoes at the moment.
Frankly speaking, this glamorous outfit is undoubtedly a killer for men's eyes when walking on the street.
But Lu Li was not satisfied. He felt it was too showy and hesitated to speak.
Miss Qian Rui had been observing secretly. Seeing Lu Li's brows frowning slightly, she guessed what he was thinking and asked, "Do you have a banquet tonight, sir?"
Lu Li shook his head: "The only thing we cannot avoid is the palace banquet tomorrow night."
"So what are your plans for today?"
"See all the scenery of Chang'an."
Sure enough, I got it wrong.
No, it should be that he encountered a benefactor who didn't act according to common sense.
While her thoughts were changing, Miss Qian Rui smiled and said, "In that case, let me change into some comfortable clothes."
"good."
A smile appeared on Lu Li's face, and he added: "My lady is considerate, I will go out and wait..."
"Stay well, this is the first time I see a guest in Pingkangfang, and I can't let him go."
While complaining, Miss Qianrui took off her outer shirt and asked the maid to bring over a set of men's clothes.
The black gauze bun is wrapped around the bun, and the round collar is worn without the hips. When the gauze belt is tied, a flint bag, a leather bag, and a meat-cutting knife are specially hung.
Taking off the gorgeous attire with layered skirts and putting on this simple and tough men's clothing really made Lu Li feel refreshed.
Of course, no one would really think of her as a man, because her face was obviously painted with makeup, her eyebrows were long and slender, and she had just the right amount of red lipstick. Walking on the street, a three-year-old child could tell that she was a topsy-turvy woman. The girl in clothes.
"So, is Mr. Lang satisfied?"
Miss Qianrui and her maids had been busy for a whole hour with the previous outfit, but now they changed it directly to this, which really fulfilled the saying: To wink at a blind man.
"Satisfied, satisfied."
"After the morning meal, I will take my wife to go shopping in the East Market."
Satin cloakroom, rouge and pollen shop, jewelry store, the above three places have been women's favorite places to visit since ancient times.
Because of this, after hearing Lu Li's words, Miss Qian Rui smiled and asked her maid to go to the kitchen to bring some food. Lu Li suggested going to the street to eat local delicacies, euphemistically calling it the Shangyuan Festival, which was a good time to enjoy it with the people.
In this way, the two left the brothel and officially started their journey to Chang'an.
However, Lu Li did not forget that Li Bai and others were so drunk that they were unconscious. He ordered his maid to cook hangover soup for them and left a note:
Shangyuan Ankang, see you tomorrow night at Qinzhengfu.
