Lulai County is very small, not much bigger than Fangu City. If you stand on the East and West Main Street of the county seat when there is no one on the street, you can see the east from the west at a glance. But it is undeniable that any city in Gyeonggi-do, no matter how big or small, is so prosperous that it makes people uncomfortable.
Although Fang Jie had seen a lot of cities all the way from the northwest, even many famous big cities were not as bustling as some small cities in Gyeonggi-do. Fang Jie only saw this kind of scene in Fan Gu when the market was open. Although it is still a short distance from the imperial capital, many valuable items from the imperial capital can already be seen in this small county town. Pedestrians are in an endless stream, and the products are dazzling.
Many things that you will never see in Fangu City in your lifetime are quietly placed on the counters of various shops, waiting for customers to spend money to buy them. Of course, these commodities produced in the imperial capital are all expensive. For example, Huijinzhuang's rouge gouache costs three taels of silver for a small box, which is not the real boutique of Huijinzhuang. Another example is the Four Treasures of the Study in Songmozhai. It is said that a piece of mud inkstone produced in Huangzhou can be exchanged for a big house.
Even if you can even see the gold, silver and jade ornaments from the Phoenix Terrace at the roadside stalls, of course, Fang Xie will never think that these things are genuine.
Because there was no delay on the road, the itinerary was a little faster than expected, so Fang Xie 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 mount Zhu Xiaohua has been very competitive recently, and he didn't get into trouble with others on the way. This also proves that Mr. Zhuo is not lying, Zhu Xiaohua is indeed not an amorous pig, she is still very picky.
It can be seen from this that the domestic pig I met in that small village could not be regarded as a beautiful pig in the pig world. I don't know if the beautiful pig will be lonely in the silent night when Zhu Xiaohua is away. Looking at the Big Dipper leaning on the railing, looking down at Xiaohua.
Mr. Zhuo is a very lazy person. Although he likes to look at the scenery and get close to nature, he doesn't like to hang out on the streets with people coming and going. In addition, his mount is really shocking, so he has been keeping a low profile. However, there are many people who can practice in the Sui Dynasty, so it is not too difficult to accept the strangeness of the mounts.
For example, when Fang Jie and the others were in Hedong County, they met an immortal Taoist riding a colorful sika deer. On a heavy rain day, they all took shelter in a ruined temple.
Fang Jie and the others arrived first, followed by the Taoist riding a colorful sika deer. When he entered the door, the Taoist had to put on an air of superiority, but when he entered the door and saw Zhu Xiaohua, he almost peed his pants in fright. The colorful sika deer, which could be reported to His Majesty the Sui Emperor as an auspicious sign, did not live up to expectations. After being groaned by Zhu Xiaohua a few times, he turned around and ran away in fright. As a result, the colorful sika deer disappeared, the plum blossoms disappeared, and the antlers disappeared. Gone too...not even the deer, just a bald donkey running in the rain.
Mr. Zhuo stayed in the inn to rest, while Fang Jie and Mu Xiaoyao Dagou went to the streets to buy some things they needed on the way. For example, the stewed meat that big dogs need most, such as the old wine that Mu Xiaoyao can't do without.
After entering Gyeonggi-do, the most common wines you see are Shaodaozi and Laobaigan brewed by Shenquan Villa in Nanqisili, the imperial capital. Of course, there is also the cheapest Northwest Shaoxing. Although the wine here in Gyeonggi-do sounds very domineering in name, it is far inferior to the pear flower brewed in Fangu Dog Butcher Shop in terms of the strength of the wine.
The name of Lihua Niang is soft, but the wine is overbearing.
Gyeonggi-do wine has a strong name, but its strength is soft.
So Mu Xiaoyao has been in a bad mood for the past few days. In her opinion, the fact that she can't buy the wine she wants is the same as that the big dog can't eat meat... Well, this is nonsense.
After wandering around the streets of Lulai County for a while but couldn't find a decent wine shop, Mu Xiaoyao was so annoyed that she almost wanted to go back to the inn immediately and fall asleep. Big dog is quite interested, because it is easy to buy marinated and very fragrant cooked meat on the street.
When Fang Xie's eyes were attracted by a crested hairpin on a small stall, he suddenly realized that even if he bought it, there seemed to be no one to give it to him. Mu Xiaoyao has never been a woman who regards herself as a woman. No matter how exquisite the workmanship and materials of this crested hairpin are, she might not care about it.
But Fang Jie still didn't leave, because he felt that he had indeed reached the age to give a gift to a certain woman. Although he didn't have any choice, he could only buy it as a gift for Mu Xiaoyao.
"This little brother has good eyesight."
Seeing Fang Xie standing in front of his booth and staring at the crested hairpin, the roadside peddler quickly picked it up and introduced, "This is a high-quality product from Fenghuang Terrace. You can tell with your sharp eyesight that the products from Fenghuang Terrace are sold every day." One piece is in the shape of a phoenix, and this one can be considered a masterpiece even if it is placed among the accessories made by the Phoenix Terrace in the past ten years. Look at your face, brother, so... I will give it to you cheaper, how about ten taels of silver? "
"Five hundred dollars."
Fang Jie opened his mouth.
"Brother, what are you kidding, five hundred dollars? For five hundred dollars you want to buy gold, silver and jade ornaments from the Phoenix Terrace, you can really joke... nine taels of silver, the lowest price."
"Five hundred dollars."
Fang Jie said calmly.
The peddler gritted his teeth and said, "Eight taels, I won't sell it if I lose a copper coin!"
"Five hundred dollars."
The peddler 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, you can pay a real price. If you don't want to buy it, I won't keep you, brother."
Fang Jie turned around and left, the peddler hurriedly shouted: "Five taels, is five taels okay?"
Fang Jie turned around and smiled, "One or two."
The peddler shook his head in pain and said: "Brother, you came here to kick me on purpose... One tael is one tael, we are destined, let you!"
At this moment, a woman next to her suddenly said in a clear voice: "Five taels, I want it."
…
…
Fang Jie searched for the sound and saw a woman in a dark green dress standing not far away. She has a graceful figure, especially the very beautiful waist, her waist is not much worse than Mu Xiaoyao's. It's just that she is taller than Mu Xiaoyao, and her shoulders are slightly wider. So Mu Xiaoyao is a little more feminine than her, and she is a little more sassy than Mu Xiaoyao.
Her long hair hangs down her head, and on top of her head is a very eye-catching pure gold butterfly hairpin.
Her complexion is very pale, her eyes are big, and her facial features are delicate, especially her red lips that make people want to look away. This is a small mouth that is so sexy that it makes people think about it. If you look at it for a little longer, it can make any man's stomach feel hot.
There is no doubt that just these two red lips can charm many people. Her lips are not painted bright, but are naturally delicate and beautiful.
It was precisely because of this that Fang Jie recognized this woman when he first saw the red lips. Then his eyes stopped on the sheathless sword held in the woman's arms, and then he couldn't help shaking his head slightly.
The woman in dark green clothes took out five taels of silver from her purse and handed it to the peddler, "Five taels, a copper coin is not enough for you, I want this crested hairpin."
Unexpectedly, the peddler slowly shook his head, looked at the beautiful woman and said seriously: "Sister, I'm really sorry... Although I really want the five taels of silver in your hand, this thing is from this little girl. Brother took his fancy first. If I didn’t agree to the price he gave, I can also give you the crested hairpin. Although the one or two silver that the little brother offered is a little less, but I have already nodded, then this business is considered. It’s done. Since it’s done, there’s absolutely no reason to sell it to others at a high price.”
The peddler said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but if you fancy something else, I'll give it to you at a lower price."
This is the pride of the people of the Sui Dynasty.
He can ask for more money, but once the deal is made, he will never regret it. Even if he is just a small businessman, he still has his own bottom line and dignity.
"Thank you!"
Fang Jie took out five liang of silver from his pocket and handed it to the peddler, saying, "One liang of silver is for this crested hairpin, and the rest is for your child to buy some candy."
He pointed to the little girl squatting on the ground playing with mud behind the peddler. The clothes on her body were dirty, but she had a pair of beautiful big eyes, which looked very cute.
"Thanks."
The peddler didn't refuse, wrapped the crested hairpin and handed it to Fang Xie, saying, "This is a fake, not the real one from Phoenix Tower."
Fang Jie nodded and said, "I know, I don't need to look at anything to know since 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 on the Phoenix Terrace are not only in the shape of a phoenix, the butterfly hairpin on her head is also a genuine product from the Phoenix Terrace."
The peddler was immediately admiring, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you see it at a glance?"
Fang Jie shook his head and said seriously: "I watched her buy it in Nanyan Dali City four years and three months ago."
After saying this, he turned to look at Mu Xiaoyao.
Mu Xiaoyao, who has 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 plain. Fang Jie knew that Mu Xiaoyao must have discovered the woman holding the sword a long time ago, and also knew that Mu Xiaoyao's heart must not be as calm as it seemed on the surface.
The woman with a butterfly hairpin on top of her head and an unsheathed sword in her arms looked at Fang Jie, her slightly frowning brows slowly relaxed, and she suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that the two of them are not really trash. I haven't seen you for three and a half years, but I actually made you fatter."
Fang Jie smiled wryly and shook his head: "Shen Qingfan, can you not be so mean?"
…
…
tea house.
Fang Jie and Shen Qingshan sat opposite each other, while Big Dog took Mu Xiaoyao to see the goldfish at the roadside stall. Mu Xiaoyao didn't want to leave at first, but when she saw Fang Jie quietly waved her hand to express her reassurance, she turned and went out. She would not doubt that this woman would hurt Fang Jie, but what she worried about was that Fang Jie, whom she and Da Quan had worked so hard to protect for three years, would be taken away by this woman.
Perhaps Fang Jie at this time is a beloved toy in her eyes, but it is undeniable that this toy can only be played by herself.
"I know that although Senior Sister and Big Dog are less capable, they can definitely protect you, but I really didn't expect to raise you with such care, Xiao Fangjie... I haven't seen you for 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 fine too."
Shen Qingshan suddenly smiled coquettishly and said: "It's really good, do you want to touch it? I know you like to sleep by touching your senior sister's breast since you were a child, 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 teacup and said in a low voice, "My aunt, I haven't seen you for three years, can you let me get used to it first?"
Shen Qingshan sat up straight, straightened her chest and said softly, "Okay, I'll let you get used to it at night."
Fang Jie didn't speak, and lowered his head in a slightly ashamed manner.
Shen Qingfan looked at him and couldn't help curling his lips and said: "Don't pretend in front of me, I'm afraid I can see what kind of person you are better than my senior sister. When I was five years old, I dared to lie on the window to peek I'm taking a shower, will you be really shy just because I said a few words? Are you really embarrassed? If I do, I'm afraid you will stretch out your hand 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 break my virgin body tonight. How much red envelope should I ask you for?"
Shen Qing was taken aback for a moment, and then gave Fang Jie a hard look.
On the street, the big dog squatted on the side of the road and looked at the goldfish swimming back and forth in the fish tank and sighed: "Why is this witch here? This woman... If you use all the coquettish energy all over your body, Xiao Fang Jie may not be able to resist it." ah."
Mu Xiaoyao smiled, "Don't underestimate Fang Jie."
Then she also puffed out her chest and said confidently: "Don't underestimate me."
