Chapter 347 Shangyuan Festival Beginning

"Hubing, hot Hubing."

"Fried Laowan, fragrant and crispy!"

Shop stalls along the street are lined up one by one, and the shopkeepers greet passers-by loudly.

And when Lu Li jumped down from the attic, he couldn't wait to follow the flow of people, walk around the streets of Chang'an, look left and right to appreciate the scenery of Shangyuan, and enjoy the long-lost comfort.

After returning to Room No. 6, the two maidservants had been waiting for a long time.

"Lang Jun, my wife has prepared washing utensils and new clothes for you..."

"lead the way."

This time, Lu Li didn't shirk, and followed quickly, because the day had come, no matter how enthusiastic the little lady was, she would still abide by the etiquette.

At the same time, Miss Qianrui, who had been sleepless all night, was washing and dressing up under the service of the maidservants.

Unscrewing the thin ivory tube, a fragrant aroma of fried nails came out instantly, and with a light tap of her fingertips, she brought out the brightly colored lip balm.

Banbianjiao, Shengtanxin, Tiangongqiao, Meihuanu, Dachunhong, Xiaochunhong... Miss Qianrui knows how to draw all kinds of lip makeup, but today she draws them very seriously and meticulously.

Not far away, a maid opened the cabinet, took out a Persian snail, and put it on the dressing table. According to legend, this object was mutated from the sea snail, worth ten gold, and it was the coveted thrush of Chang'an women.

There was the sound of the bead curtains colliding, and a maid who led the way came quickly: "Lady, Lu Qing is here."

Since she was painting her lip makeup, Qianrui 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 in front of him, with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water painted on it, which seemed to imply something.

Behind the beaded curtain, there were faintly a few women walking around, looking very busy.

Obviously, Qianrui has already arranged everything, and the little lady who is in charge of leading the way pointed to the side and said softly: "Your Majesty, the bathing dendrobium and toilet utensils are in the compartment over there, you go wash up first, Come out later and change into new clothes."

Even if he wasn't drunk, he still smelled of alcohol after drinking all night long. In addition to today's festival, Lu Li felt that it was really necessary to take a bath and change into new clothes.

However, he warned: "I come by myself, I don't need anyone to serve me."

In this era, it is common for maidservants to help with watering and bathing, so they must be greeted in advance.

The little lady was quite surprised, it was the first time she heard of such a request, and said helplessly, "Here."

After a while, the compartment was closed tightly.

There is no shower, no sauna, and no massage jets.

A water diversion channel, a drainage channel, and a bathing dendrobium is placed in the middle for people to lie in. Next to it are clothes hangers (trusses), bath beans, tooth wood, and tooth powder. Although they are a bit crude, they are complete.

Especially the bath beans, I thought they were simple objects made of plant ash and pulp, but after Lu Li used them, he realized that there were a lot of good things in them. Flour, bean powder, acacia, and pearl powder were used to absorb dirt. Flower juice and spices are used to enhance fragrance.

In addition, the body wipe is also very particular. The maidservant prepared two kinds of cloth towels in advance, one with a fine material for wiping the upper body, and the other with a thick and thin material for wiping the lower body.

For Lu Li, the whole process was rather novel, and if he wasn't worried about someone breaking in midway, he would have liked to hang out for a while longer.

"Lang Jun, open the door."

A timid voice came from outside the door.

Lu Li put down his coat and said, "What's the matter?"

"The lady ordered me to deliver clean clothes."

"come in."

After the words fell, the door was slowly opened, and a young lady stepped in with a new dress in her hands, her face full of calm.

"Lang Jun, do you want my slave to help you tie your head?"

"No need, I'll do it myself."

Xu knew that Lu Li didn't like being served by others, so the maid didn't say much, put down her new clothes, crossed her arms and left.

Round collar gown, leather waist belt, Liuhe boots, black headband wrapped around the head, casual and decent.

Feeling refreshed, Lu Li walked out of the bathroom.

However, Miss Qianrui hasn't finished grooming yet, so she doesn't know how long she will have to wait.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly outside? Is it because you are afraid that the servants will eat you? Come in."

"Help me see how this dress looks."

"There are a lot of banquets during the Shangyuan Festival. As the gentleman's female companion, you can't lose face, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Li stopped hesitating and walked in quickly.

Yan!

A high-waisted red-and-black intercolor skirt, a double-breasted and narrow-sleeved jacket with small clusters of flowers, a brocade half-arm shirt over the outer cover, and feet like frost——

Miss Qianrui is changing her shoes at the moment.

Frankly speaking, this glamorous body is undoubtedly a murderer's eyeball when walking on the street.

However, Lu Li was not satisfied. He felt that it was too ostentatious, so he hesitated to speak.

And Miss Qianrui had been observing secretly, and when she saw Lu Li frowning slightly, she guessed his intentions and asked, "Is your husband going to a banquet tonight?"

Lu Li shook his head: "Only the palace banquet tomorrow night cannot be avoided."

"Then what are your plans for today?"

"Take a look around Chang'an."

Sure enough, I will be wrong.

No, it should be meeting a benefactor who doesn't play cards according to common sense.

While thinking about it, Miss Qianrui smiled and said: "In that case, the slave should change into crisp clothes."

"good."

A smile appeared on Lu Li's face, and he said, "Miss is understanding, go out and wait..."

"Stay well, it's the first time I've seen a guest who comes to Pingkang Fang and still can't let go."

Amidst the complaints, Miss Qianrui removed her blouse and asked the maid to fetch a set of men's clothes.

The black gauze wraps the hair in a bun, wears a round collar and runs without hips, and specially hangs a flint bag, a leather pouch, and a meat-cutting knife when wearing a belt.

Taking off the layered gorgeous attire and putting on this simple and tough men's attire, Lu Li really felt refreshed.

Of course, no one would really think of her as a man, because her face is obviously painted with makeup, her eyebrows are slender, and her red lipstick is just right. Walking on the street, a three-year-old child can see that she is a woman who is upside down. Clothes girl.

"So, Mr. Lang is satisfied?"

Miss Qianrui and the maidservants had been busy for an entire hour for the previous outfit, but now they just changed into this, which really answered the sentence: winking for the blind.

"Satisfied, satisfied."

"After eating the morning food, I will take my wife to Dongshi for a stroll."

Silk and satin clothing shops, rouge pollen shops, and jewelry shops, the above three places have been women's favorite places to shop since ancient times.

Because of this, after hearing Lu Li's words, Miss Qianrui smiled and ordered the maid to go to the back kitchen to bring some food. And Lu Li proposed to go directly to the street to eat market delicacies, euphemistically calling it the Shangyuan Festival, which should be enjoyed with the people.

In this way, the two left the brothel and officially started their trip to Chang'an.

However, Lu Li did not forget about Li Bai and the others who were so drunk that they passed out. He ordered the maid to make them sober soup and left a note:

Shangyuan Ankang, see you at the government office building tomorrow night.
