In the steaming bath, Zhu Qiaoqiao was half lying down, slightly closing her eyes, allowing the two girls behind her to wash her long hair.

In the lattice shower room around, the maids were washing their hair early in the morning, and everyone was surrounded by all-natural toiletries developed by the Red Leaf Perfume Store, which was dazzling and useful for all purposes.

The hygiene habit of taking frequent baths has been in the Xu family for many years. Those who have a vigilance even bathe eight times a day. Most of them take a shower twice in the morning and evening. When it is hot, they take a shower every half hour, and even soak in the pool all day, no one cares about it.

Influenced by this, not only are the clothes becoming easier to wear, but the requirements for buns are no longer so particular. Natural flowing long shawl hair is becoming more and more popular. If you want to change your mood, just tie a knot, hang a few strands of hair or leave a sea, which is both lazy and cute, and also suitable for everyone's face shape and personality.

The grate and head oil have basically disappeared in the inner house, and most of the older women in the Xu family are used by older women.

Zhu Qiaoqiao opened her eyes and saw musk falling out of the bathtub with a bright moonlight. She looked a little unhappy, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Because Musk Yue and Zhu Qiaoqiao were close comrades on the bed, she said frowningly because she had no privacy to her grandma, "What else can I do? My stepmother went out to visit her all day long. When her sister asked her what vegetables she bought today, she said she would eat whatever she could. Girls should not learn from her and they were greedy and lazy. They had a bowl of rice with vegetables, but they would make tea if they didn't have vegetables. The household uses were used to buy new clothes and jewelry, rouge and powder.

Not only that, she threw the plate and the bowl a little dissatisfied, and my father didn't say anything, which made my sister swallow her anger and she was in her heart, but she didn't dare to tell my father. She could only complain to me secretly."

Zhu Qiaoqiao sneered, "I have never seen your sister as cowardly. If you don't say anything else, you will get married sooner or later. You will scold me in person and never interact with each other after marriage. She dares to rely on her stepmother's identity? A concubine-born second wife, dares to be arrogant?"

Musk Yue smiled bitterly and said, "It's all stepmothers. I wonder if I should take my sister over and be a girl for two years and find a good family. In the past, I always raised her as a lady. Since I was uncomfortable in life, there was no need to keep it at home."

"This is a good idea." Zhu Qiaoqiao pointed out: "If you want to have a good reputation, put it in the old lady's house. The relaxed and comfortable thing you have ever thought of is to be sent to Cui Liu. If you want to make money from men, you might as well give it to me for a few years."

"Well, let me think about it again." Musk Yue smiled and leaned over to soak her hair.

At this time, the eldest maid, Xiqing, walked over in wooden clogs, squatted down and whispered: "Zhu Gao asked if he would go to help the Gui family. Now Mrs. Gui and his son are under house arrest and are not allowed to go out, and the family is panic."

Zhu Qiaoqiao sneered a sneer on the corner of her mouth, "Tell him, what does the life or death of the Gui family have to do with me? My mother was sold to the palace since she was a child. I have never received the favor of the Gui family in my life. My relatives are all over the world. Can I get help?"

"Yes." Xiqing was a little confused. She didn't dare to ask too much, so she got up and hurried out.

Zhu Gao, who was outside the hanging flower gate, slapped his palm and smiled at Sang Xinbing, "Okay! Grandma doesn't care about the troubles of the Gui family, so we don't need to worry about it. We have to ask for the deed quickly."

Sang Xinbing was not interested in Zhu Gao and Mu's family holding the official account together. He had no part in it. He cared about Xiuchun, "Uncle, Xiuchun has not been here for several days. If I beg my grandma to match someone else, I will have the heart to die."

"You are just a terrible thing." Zhu Gao was so sorry that he was not strong enough. "Where is no fragrant grass in the world? What kind of beauty can't buy it with money?" After saying that, he licked his lips covetously and said with a smile: "But that girl Xiuchun is really good, she has a good temperament and looks handsome. If you want Uncle Wei to benefit from it, I have a way to help you."

Sang Xinbing hurriedly said, "That's not said, our family won't speak two words."

"Good nephew." Zhu Gao laughed happily, hugged him and said, "Today I will take you to meet the White Snake. The water snake's waist is not much worse than the White Snake's essence. It's just that I am as old as a wolf. Every time I have to work with Bai Lao Er to satisfy her. Otherwise, the next day, my waist and legs will hurt and I can't even get out of bed. It's true that the color is a bone-scraping steel knife."

At the same time, since Xu Cuiyun, the Liu Zhi family at the intersection of the street, has no longer had the habit of washing her hair frequently since entering the palace. She got up early in the morning and sent Liu Zhi to the shop.

I faced the clean face of the dressing table and combed my head with a grate. It was so itchy that I didn't wash it for three days. I applied some good hair oil and combed it with shiny hair. I could smell the rich fragrance from a distance, covering up other odors.

Today she was going to Gui's house to get an engagement. She chose a pair of gold-plated Danfeng Chaoyang Golden Hairpin with jade inlaid from the jewelry box. This was given by Xu Hao during the marriage. It was regarded as her favorite treasure. She wore a few small hairpins and green rings, and a pair of large red gold earrings hung on her earlobes.

Three pairs of bracelets with the word "Fu Shou" on their wrists, and a pair of bracelets of the same style on their legs will make a pleasant sound when walking, just like some girls like to wear bells, jade pendants and jade rings.

After taking off all his clothes, Xu Cuiyun looked at the mirror with pity and admiring her delicate body. She suddenly frowned and pinched her slightly loose abdomen. Naturally, it was the consequence of being pampered and not exercising.

"There is no need to appreciate the unconventional thing."

Xu Cuiyun made an excuse for herself, put on a big red bag under the maid's service, and wore a white silk jacket and a big red chest skirt. Because of the recent retro style in the capital, the styles before the Tang and Song dynasties changed, and gorgeous patterns of robe skirts were quietly popular.

Ruqus can be said to be a real Hanfu, and there are many types and not limited to one style. Among them, high-waisted Ruqus can be imagined by yourself. The waist-length Ruqus are very similar to Japanese kimonos, and they are all due to the influence of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The chest-length skirt shows the unique openness and unrestrainedness of the Tang Dynasty. This kind of bold clothing can only be compared with women in modern Western countries.

There are also men's skirts, but Xu Hao doesn't like them very much. Although they are from China, they are too similar to Japanese men's kimonos. They always feel weird when worn. If you put on wooden clogs, you will be clearly a ronin.

Jackets and skirts were popular in the Ming Dynasty. The tops of the Han Dynasty were mostly called "ru". From the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, they were gradually replaced by "jackets" or "jackets". This is a long evolutionary process. The most obvious feature is that they changed from wide sleeves to pipa sleeves with cuffs. The tops are not tucked into the skirt, but are hanging out in a wide and open manner. The length of the lace can be changed at will.

It seems to be related to the increasingly conservative social atmosphere. The loose and beautiful outerwear will not make women's upper circumference and waist circumference too obvious, but it will also look more elegant and colorful, which is in line with the cultural characteristics of the Song Dynasty's advocacy of nature. Most modern Hanfu is derived from the Ming Dynasty's jackets and skirts.

The unrestrainedness of the Tang Dynasty made the colors of the clothing extremely bright, while the Song Dynasty opposed the gorgeous style. The light color system was popular with elegant and quiet. The Yuan Dynasty followed the Song Dynasty, but the colors became even darker, reflecting the depressing mentality of the Han people at that time.

In the Ming Dynasty, the use of colors was divided into two extremes, either big red and big green. Texture embroidery was very particular about exquisiteness; or it was simple plain white, with only a lace embroidered on one or two inches below the skirt as a presser foot.

The skirt was originally six, that is, the famous skirt dragged six Xiangjiang River water. Now there are more women who use eight pictures, and there are also ten pictures. There are many thin folds around the waist, and each fold has a color. When the breeze blows, the color is like the moonlight, so it is called "moon skirt".

Because it was winter, Xu Cuiyun added a small lambskin-colored leather jacket with a jade-colored Xiling-faced face, a pair of women's pants under her waist, and a long pleated skirt with a pine green color.

After making a carriage, people were busy decorating the lanterns everywhere, and the New Year atmosphere was still strong. After the fourth day of the lunar month, women were sick and had a surge of visits to relatives and friends.

After a long time, I arrived at Gui's house. The two doors were closed tightly, and two servants sat on the stone steps outside the door, listless.

The manager of the Liu family went to report his name, and the servant hurriedly led the carriage to the side door. Xu Cuiyun sat in the carriage and heard a vague crying at home.

Several women and women ran out from inside to greet her. After the carriage stopped, the coachman brought the horse stool. The maid got out of the carriage first, and then helped Xu Cuiyun walk out slowly.

Suddenly, Xu Cuiyun heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside, and someone shouted: "It is natural to repay the debt. What do you want to pay off the money you borrowed by your master?"

Xu Cuiyun was curious and saw that when he saw Yueliangmen, Guitang said with a red face: "My family has nowhere to go, I gave you the deed. Where can I live in the family, young and old? You are too bullying."

The woman who was quarreling with him was about thirty years old. The beautiful young woman who was still charming was dressed very decently, no worse than Xu Cuiyun. She sneered: "Then I don't care. Take advantage of the fact that the capital and profits are exactly 3,000 taels, hurry up and use the house to pay off the debt, otherwise she will have to sell her children in a few days."

Xu Cuiyun asked curiously: "What's going on?"

The woman from Gui family smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that the master borrowed money from Shizi. Seeing that my family was in decline, the creditor rushed to the door to force the debt. He really wanted to force the person to death."

"Oh!" Xu Cuiyun stopped. He originally wanted Mrs. On his behalf to explain the whole story and seek Mrs. Gui's understanding, but now he saw that the Gui family was about to be homeless and too lazy to go in, so he said lightly: "I don't see your wife either. Please report it and return Zhucui to her. Please hand it over to Mrs. Xia. I don't have to say anything clearly, right?"

The woman lowered her head and went in. Mrs. Gui, who was hiding in the room, looked haggard and gave the jade pendant powerlessly. She thought that she had been obsessed with the Xu family that day, but now her family has fallen to this point, and she feels that she has no face to say anything, and she is doing things with great pleasure.

Xu Cuiyun took his jade pendant and was very satisfied with Mrs. Gui's tactfulness. She didn't even look at the two people who were still quarreling, and turned around and left.

Later, Sun from the Mu family came out with satisfaction. Guitang was so young that she threw out the deed as soon as she broke the money.

It was rare for Xu Cuiyun to leave the next door, and she took her maid to stroll on the street with her excited wife. Sun took the carriage directly. She came out to buy things according to Mrs. Mu's instructions, and went to the Gui family to collide with debts, waiting at the door for seven or eight Mu family generals.

As soon as the carriage was about to go together, a servant from the Gui family threw a firecracker in the crowd. Bang! The animal was frightened and turned forward. The groom couldn't stop it anymore, and the car ran to the entrance of the alley.

It happened that a carriage inside was also rushed out, and those who were rushing to the car on both sides could not hold back. The two cars collided and the wheels were stuck together. The horse became more and more frightened, and the front hooves were raised and kicked and jumped.

With a click, the axle where Sun was sitting broke, and the whole car fell to one side, and the animal jumped higher.

The people were so scared that they spread around in a hurry, which made the entire road blocked. The coachman was so anxious that he could not hold back the animals on both sides.

There was a man sitting in the car opposite, straddling the shaft of the car without moving. The generals of the Mufu family were immediately annoyed and rushed forward with a whip, beating a bastard who had no vision and ran away.

Xu Cuiyun looked at the excitement from afar. In a short time, there were thousands of people surrounding the street. The maid said anxiously: "It's too messy and I'm afraid there are bad people. Let's go into the building to avoid it."

Xu Cuiyun looked up and saw that the closest two-story building was a jewelry shop, and walked in with a smile.

A teenage girl was sitting in the car here, crying anxiously, while Sun was taken out of the car by her anxious family. She looked at the people around her and said angrily: "Tie the person who drove the car, and don't have time to accompany him, so hurry up and repair the car and go back."

The family general tied the driver to the post and unloaded the axle and a wheel of his car.

While waiting, Sun asked casually: "Who is sitting in the car?"

The leader said, "It's a big girl, crying in the car. There is a man in his thirties who is as traitor as a thief. He is beaten to the point of rolling around with a whip and doesn't even want anyone."
