Lulai County is very small, not much bigger than Fangu City. If you stand on the east-west main street of the county and look across when there is no one on the street, you can see from the west to the east at a glance. But it is undeniable that any city in Gyeonggi Province, no matter how big or small, is so prosperous that people are a little uncomfortable with it.
Although Fangjie saw many cities along the way from the northwest, even many famous big cities were not as bustling as some small towns in Gyeonggi Province. Fang Jie would only see this kind of scene every time the market is open in Fangu. Although it is still not close to the imperial capital, many valuable items produced in the imperial capital can already be seen in this small county. There is an endless stream of pedestrians and a dazzling array of products.
Many things that you will never see in Fangu City are quietly placed on the counters of various shops, waiting for customers to spend money to buy them. Of course, these products produced in the imperial capital are all expensive. For example, Huijinzhuang's rouge and gouache costs three taels of silver for a small box, which is not a real high-quality product from Huijinzhuang. Another example is Song Mo Zhai's Four Treasures of the Study. It is said that a piece of mud inkstone produced in Huangzhou can be exchanged for a big house.
Even at roadside stalls, you can even see gold, silver and jade ornaments from Phoenix Terrace. Of course, Fang Jie would never think that these things are genuine.
Since there were no delays on the way, the trip was a little faster than expected, so Fang Jie and the four of them decided to take a day off in Lulai County to recover some strength and buy some necessary things on the road. Mr. Zhuo's horse, Zhu Xiaohua, has been doing very well recently and has not gotten into trouble with others. This also confirms that Mr. Zhuo is not lying. Zhu Xiaohua is indeed not an affectionate pig, but he is still very picky.
It can be seen from this that the domestic pigs I met in that small village cannot really be regarded as beautiful pigs in the pig world, with the appearance of a woman who is so shy that she can conquer a country. I don¡¯t know if the beautiful pig will be lonely in the quiet night during the days when Zhu Xiaohua leaves. Leaning on the railing and looking at the Big Dipper, I lower my eyes and miss the little flowers.
Mr. Zhuo is a very lazy person. Although he likes to see the scenery and get close to nature, he does not like to hang out on the streets where people come and go. In addition, his mount is a bit shocking, so he has always kept a low profile. However, there are many people who can practice in the Great Sui Dynasty, so it is not too difficult to accept all kinds of strange mounts.
For example, when Fang Jie and the others were in Hedong County, they met a Taoist priest riding a colorful sika deer. On a heavy rain day, they all took shelter in a dilapidated temple.
Fang Jie and the others arrived first, and the Taoist riding the colorful sika deer arrived last. When he entered the door, the man had to act like a master, but when he saw Zhu Xiaohua, he almost peed his pants. The colorful sika deer that could have been an auspicious sign to His Majesty the Sui Emperor did not live up to expectations. After a few snorts from Piglet, it was so frightened that it turned around and ran away. As a result, when the heavy rain came, the colorful sika deer was gone, the plum blossoms were gone, and the antlers were gone. No more deereven the deer was gone, only a bald donkey was left running around in the rain.
Mr. Zhuo stayed in the inn to rest, while Fang Jie and Mu Xiaoyao Daquan went to the street to buy some things they needed on the way. For example, the braised pork that big dogs need most, or the old wine that Mu Xiaoyao can't live without.
After entering Gyeonggi-do, the most common wines you see are Shaodaozi and Laobaigan brewed by Shenquan Villa in Qishili, south of the imperial capital. Of course, there is also the cheapest Northwest Shao. Although the names of the wines in Gyeonggi Province are very domineering, in terms of the potency of the wine, it is far inferior to the pear blossom rice wine from Fangu Dog Meat Shop.
The name of Lihua Niang is gentle, but the wine is overbearing.
Gyeonggi-do¡¯s wines have aggressive names, but their wines are gentle in strength.
So Mu Xiaoyao has been in a bad mood these past few days. In her opinion, not being able to buy the right wine is the same as a big dog not being able to eat meat Okay, this is nonsense.
After wandering around the streets of Lulai County for a while but unable to find a decent wine shop, Mu Xiaoyao was so angry that he almost wanted to go back to the inn and fall asleep immediately. Daquan was quite interested, because it was easy to buy fragrant braised cooked meat on the street.
When Fang Jie's eyes were attracted by a crested hairpin on a stall, he suddenly realized that even if he bought it, there seemed to be no one to give it to. Mu Xiaoyao has never been a woman who regards herself as a woman. No matter how exquisite the workmanship of this crested hairpin is and the materials used are exquisite, I am afraid she will not even look at it.
But Fang Jie still didn¡¯t leave because he felt that he had finally reached the age where he should give a gift to a certain woman. Although he had no choice, he could only buy it as a gift to Mu Xiaoyao.
¡°This guy has a good eye.¡±
The hawker on the roadside stopped in front of his stall and stared at the crested hairpin. He quickly picked it up and introduced it: "This is a fine product from Phoenix Taiwan. You will naturally know from your discernment, little brother, that everything from Phoenix Taiwan is very good." Each piece is in the shape of a phoenix. Even among the ornaments made by Phoenix Taiwan in the past ten years, this one isIt is worthy of being a masterpiece. See how nice you are, little brother, so I'll give it to you cheaper, how about ten taels of silver? "
"Five hundred dollars"
Fang Jie opened his mouth.
"Brother, are you kidding me? Five hundred dollars? You want to buy gold, silver and jade jewelry from Phoenix Terrace for five hundred dollars? You really know how to joke Nine taels of silver is the lowest price."
"Five hundred dollars."
Fang Jie said calmly.
The hawker gritted his teeth and said: "Eight taels, even if it's less than a copper coin, I won't sell it!"
"Five hundred dollars"
The vendor was slightly angry and couldn't help but put the crested hairpin back into the box and said, "If you are willing to buy it, just give me a real price. If you don't want to buy it, I won't keep you."
Fang Jie turned around and left. The hawker quickly shouted: "Five taels, five taels of silver, okay?"
Fang Jie turned around and said with a smile, "One or two."
The hawker shook his head in pain and said: "Brother, you came here specifically to kick me out Just one or two. We are destined to let you go!"
At this moment, a woman next to her suddenly said with a clear voice: "Five taels, I want it."
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie looked over in search of the voice and saw a woman in a dark green dress standing not far away. She has a graceful figure, especially her waist that is very beautiful. Her waist is almost as small as Mu's. It's just that her figure is taller than Mu Xiaowaist, and her shoulders are slightly wider. So Mu Xiaoyao is a bit more feminine than her, and she is a bit more sassy than Mu Xiaoyao.
She has long hair hanging down her head, and a very eye-catching pure gold butterfly hairpin on top of her head.
Her face is very white, her eyes are big, and her facial features are delicate. What makes people want to look away is her red lips. This is a small mouth that is so sexy that it makes people dream about it. Looking at it for a little longer can make any man feel hot in his belly.
There is no doubt that just these two red lips can fascinate many people. Her lips are not painted brightly, but are naturally delicate and beautiful.
Precisely because of this, Fang Jie recognized this woman when he first saw the red lips. Then his eyes stopped at the sheathless sword held in the woman's arms, and then he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
The woman in dark green clothes took out five taels of silver from her purse and handed it to the vendor: "Fifty taels, a copper coin is not worth yours. I want this crested hairpin."
Who knew that the hawker slowly shook his head, looked at the beautiful woman and said seriously: "Sister, I'm so sorry Although I really want the five taels of silver in your hand, this thing belongs to this The younger brother took a fancy to it first. If I didn't agree to the price he gave me, I could still give you the crested hairpin. Although the one tael of silver offered by the younger brother was a little less, I had already agreed to this business. Even if it¡¯s done. Since it¡¯s done, there¡¯s absolutely no reason to sell it to others at a high price.¡±
The hawker said apologetically: "Sorry, if you are interested in something else, I will give it to you at a cheaper price."
This is the pride of the Sui people.
He can ask for more money, but once the deal is made, he will never regret it. Even if he is just a low-level peddler, he still has his own bottom line and dignity.
"Thank you!"
Fang Jie took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the vendor and said, "One tael of silver is the money for this crested hairpin. The rest will be used to buy some candies for your child."
He pointed at the little girl squatting on the ground behind the vendor, playing in the mud. Her clothes were dirty, but she had a pair of beautiful big eyes and looked very cute.
"Thanks."
The vendor did not refuse. After wrapping the crested hairpin, he handed it to Fang Jie and said, "This is an imitation, not the original of Phoenix Terrace."
Fang Jie nodded and said: "I know, I didn't need to look at anything to know from the moment you opened your mouth"
He pointed to the golden butterfly on the head of the woman in the dark green dress and said: "The gold, silver and jade ornaments of the Phoenix Terrace are not only in the shape of a phoenix, but the butterfly hairpin on her head is also an authentic product of the Phoenix Terrace."
The hawker was immediately impressed and couldn't help but ask: "You can tell at a glance?"
Fang Jie shook his head and said seriously: "Four years and three months ago in Dali City, Nanyan, I watched her buy it."
After saying this, he turned back to look at Mu Xiaoyao.
Mu Xiaoyao, who had many clothes but only this red dress, looked at the woman in the dark green dress expressionlessly. There was no hostility or hatred in her eyes, which was surprisingly calm. Fang Jie knew that Mu Xiaoyao must have discovered the woman holding the sword a long time ago, and he also knew that Mu Xiaoyao's heart must not be as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.
There is one above the headThe woman with a butterfly hairpin and an unsheathed sword in her arms looked at Fang Jie, her slightly frowning brow slowly relaxed, she suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that they two are not really useless, after three years I haven¡¯t seen you since I¡¯ve made you fatter.¡±
Fang Jie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Shen Qingshan, can you not be so mean?"
¡¡
¡¡
Teahouse
Fang Jie and Shen Qingshan sat opposite each other, while Big Dog took Mu Xiaoyao to look at goldfish at a roadside stall. Mu Xiaoyao didn't want to leave, but when she saw Fang Jie quietly waved his hand to her to reassure her, she turned around and left. She would not doubt that this woman would hurt Fang Jie, but she was worried that Fang Jie, whom she and Da Quan had worked hard to protect for three years, would be taken away by this woman.
Maybe Fang Jie at this time is a beloved toy in her eyes, but it is undeniable that this toy can only be played with by herself.
"I know that although senior sister and Daquan are less capable, they can definitely protect you, but I really didn't expect them to raise you with such care, Xiao Fangjie I haven't seen you in three years and you have developed so well."
"Development"
Fang Jie repeated the word, then glanced at Shen Qingshan's plump and tall chest and said, "You are also very good."
Shen Qingshan suddenly smiled coquettishly and said, "It's really good. Do you want to touch it? I know you have liked to touch your senior sister's breasts when you were young, but don't you think mine should be more beautiful and better than hers?" Some?"
Fang Jie lowered his head, looked at his slightly embarrassed face reflected in the tea cup and whispered: "My aunt, I haven't seen you for three years. Can you let me get used to it first?"
Shen Qingshan sat up straight, raised her chest and said softly, "Okay, I'll let you get used to it tonight."
Fang Jie said nothing and lowered his head in a slightly shy manner.
Shen Qingshan looked at him and couldn't help curling her lips and said: "Don't pretend in front of me, I'm afraid I can see who you are more clearly than my senior sister. When I was five years old, I dared to lie on the window and peek. I'm taking a shower, are you really embarrassed because I say a few words? If I do, I'm afraid you'll reach out right away, right?"
Fang Jie raised his head and looked at her and said seriously: "I'm really not shy because of you. What I'm shy about is that you will take away my virginity tonight. How big a red envelope should I ask you for?"
Shen Qing was startled, and then gave Fang Jie a fierce look.
On the street, the big dog squatted on the side of the road, looking at the goldfish swimming back and forth in the fish tank, and sighed: "Why is this witch here? This woman If she uses all her coquettish-charming energy, Xiao Fang may not be able to solve it." I can withstand it.¡±
Mu Xiaoyao smiled: "Don't underestimate Fang Jie."
Then she puffed out her chest and said confidently: "Don't underestimate me either."
