Zhou Xiaoxiao and Juanzi were happy in the city of Kyoto for a few days.
Suddenly listening to a play in the garden, suddenly drinking tea in the teahouse.
Buy comb grease powder in the morning, and go shopping in the afternoon to estimate food and clothing.
On this day, the two were walking around the gathering with large and small bags.
The meeting was very lively.
All kinds of stalls are crowded, and all kinds of food are stacked. The gongs and drums were loud, and the voices were full of people.
I saw a Cai Lizi here, and he didn't do some somersaults or take a big top. Just use a pair of wonderful hands to make the empty pot to get the wine, the lotus to grow in the cup, the immortal to pick the beans, and the hand to pass the pills under the moon.
It attracts people to stop and watch.
There is a father and daughter over there, sticking in a circle, shaking diabolo in tricks. Sometimes they stick their legs up and down, sometimes they climb the ropes backwards, sometimes they look back at the moon, and sometimes the roots of dead trees are twisted.
Got people's voices applauding.
Zhou Xiaoxiao likes to watch the hang-zixing that practices the handlebars. After walking a short while, he was hooked by a wrestling venue and squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement.
The two big men in the field, with their upper body naked, withdrew and evaded, jumping and arching.
In a corner of the arena, an old man led a few younger disciples, while shouting and teaching the experience of the younger disciples.
"The kung fu of wrestling is very particular. Seeing that your senior brother has three hands and three waists followed by a bow, he is very good. The second senior brother hugs the outside, and the inside is in, and it's not bad if you add one."
Zhou Xiaoxiao saw that he was on the rise, and suddenly heard the sound of golden cymbals beside him.
I saw a big Kanto man with a face like a jujube, a dignified appearance, dressed as a hunter. Set up a bench, spread a blanket on the ground, and put four furry tiger legs on it.
He stepped on the bench and clasped his fists, shouting: "Families and villagers, the villain caught this big worm on the North Ridge the day before yesterday. Now it is opened and sold, and it is the right to subsidize the family. This tiger bone is a good thing. , specializing in the treatment of five tuberculosis and seven injuries, sore waist and legs, all kinds of deficiency, kidney deficiency and night sweats. Even if there is no disease, it can be used to make wine, and it can also strengthen the body. The villain is not like the profiteer of the drugstore. Death is expensive. One or two tiger bones are only two coins of silver."
Everyone heard that the tiger bones, which usually cost seven or eight coins in a pharmacy, can be obtained for only two coins. Although it was still expensive, many people immediately surrounded it.
The big man immediately took out a big saw, stepped on a tiger's leg on the bench, and sold it now.
A single ingot of snow-white silver fell into the purse of the big man selling tiger bones.
Juanzi watched from the sidelines and saw that the tiger's legs and claws were ferocious, and the muscles and bones were strong.
Juanzi couldn't help but pulled Zhou Xiaoxiao over and said, "My lady has also hit a big bug before, and it has never sold so well."
The surrounding area was full of gongs and drums, and it was inevitable to increase the volume when talking to each other. It happened that when Juanzi said this, the sound of the gong stopped for a moment, and the words seemed abrupt and spread instantly.
Everyone saw Zhou Xiaoxiao wearing a hairpin ring and a Luo skirt, looking like a little daughter. Can't help laughing.
The big man who sold tiger bones snorted coldly: "Little lady doesn't buy tiger bones, so you won't be messing around here. That big worm is ferocious. If you see a cute little lady like you, and you will be so scared that you wet your skirt, There's nowhere to look for your mother to cry."
The crowd laughed again.
Juanzi's face flushed with anger, waiting to tell the difference.
Zhou Xiaoxiao stopped her, smiled, and said crisply: "My family is also a hunter, whether I have caught it or not, but this big bug has been seen a lot. Your tiger bone looks real, but it is a fake. "
Someone over there asked, "How does the little lady know that this is not the real thing?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao said: "Think about it, everyone, this tiger bone pharmacy sells a tael of silver for eight coins, and it is actually a tael of three coins that we can buy from our hunters. If he is a real tiger bone, why not just buy a tael of silver for three coins. Selling pharmacies in pharmacies, wouldn’t it be more convenient and more money to come?”
The crowd of onlookers suddenly talked a lot.
The big man who sold the tiger bones sank his face: "The little lady doesn't understand, don't talk nonsense, this ready-made tiger legs, sawn and sold now, how to make it fake."
Zhou Xiaoxiao said: "This tiger bone of yours must be made of either a cow's hind leg bone or a camel's hind leg bone, and the sharp claws are fake eagle claws and carved claws, and the two things are bound with beef tendons. Bake it, and then wrap it with a layer of tiger skin. You can make it look like the real thing. If you don't believe it, take off the tiger skin and let everyone take a closer look to see if it's real or fake."
As soon as these words came out, the big man's face was blue and white, and he was speechless.
Seeing this, everyone booed and coaxed to get the money back, and they all disappeared for a while.
The man said with a dark face: "Where is the slut, who doesn't know the rules, blocks people's money, and bad people's livelihood."
Zhou Xiaoxiao said: "If you are selling something else, I would be too lazy to expose you. I hate that you are selling something that cures and saves people, and it's so expensive. Could it be that you haven't seen the poor family, and with the strength of the whole family, reluctantly bought it, only In order to save the family's life."
The big man blushed and became angry, he rushed forward, stretched out his iron pincer-like hand and grabbed Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand.
But seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao's little white and tender hand slipping by like a slippery fish, the man grabbed the air, only to feel that when the woman's palm flipped lightly, it tapped at his elbow.
Suddenly, half of my body felt sore and numb, and I couldn't exert myself.
He was shocked and shouted: "Wu that demon girl, what kind of sorcery is she using!"
I saw that the woman jumped back, hid behind the chubby maid, made a surprised expression, stretched out a small finger, pointed directly at him and said, "Forcibly grab the civilian girl!"
The fat girl immediately opened her hands, protected the woman like a hen protecting her cub, and shouted like a storm: "Come on! It's a robbery of the civilian girl in broad daylight!"
The people around him gathered around, and for a while there was a lot of discussion, pointing at him.
The man was both ashamed and angry, he spat on the ground, and said, "This time, I will admit it. Two thieves, don't bump into Laozi's hands one day!"
But I saw a young man with a golden crown and hair standing out from the crowd.
The man said coldly: "In broad daylight, there is such a filthy and filthy person at the feet of the emperor! Come on, beat him up for me!"
A dozen or so servants suddenly appeared behind him, all armed with guns and sticks, fierce and vicious, rushing up. He beat the man who sold the fake medicine.
The man who sold the counterfeit medicine was beaten to the point of crying and begging for mercy.
Zhou Xiaoxiao sniffed, walked to the man in Chinese clothes, and gave a proper salute.
"Master Liu, what a coincidence."
The person who came was Cheng Shizhao, King Yan, and he frowned, showing displeasure.
"To dress up like this, to attract bees and butterflies, to cause trouble."
"I… "
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked down at herself. I'm a woman, what's wrong with wearing a skirt
"I was wrong. In the future, I will only wear men's clothes in front of Your Highness."
"..." Cheng Shizhao was annoyed for a while, but was speechless.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was accustomed to Cheng Shizhao's character and was lazy to argue with him.
Yin asked, "Where's Xingzhi? Why don't you see him together?"
Cheng Shizhao said angrily: "As soon as he came back, he was punished to kneel at the ancestral hall, where did he come from. But he is especially worried about you, and told me and the ninth brother to take care of you from time to time."
He made a patient appearance and said: "I heard that you are looking for rent, but this king still has a few rooms..."
"Ah, it's not necessary." Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. The day before yesterday, Master Jiu recommended me a shop. I went to see it and I was very satisfied. I have signed a contract with the owner and completed the paperwork. Around the corner ahead."
"That's all." Cheng Shizhao avoided his eyes and took out a famous post from his arms for a while, "Look at Xingzhi, you can hold this post. You are in Kyoto, if you have troubles, you can hold this post. Come to King Yan's Mansion to find me."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhou Xiaoxiao readily took it over and thanked him.
She was a little happy when she could understand Cheng Shizhao's awkward care.
When she came out from Fengxiang, Sister Xia gave one. On the way, Xingzhi gave one, and when he came here, His Highness Ninth gave one. This will give Yan Wang another one. A few more famous posts can be used for playing cards, Zhou Xiaoxiao thought to himself.
Cheng Shizhao turned around and left, then turned around and pondered for a moment: "Do you... have a place to stay?"
"Of course there is. I live in an inn. The largest Yuelai Inn on West Street."
"In that place, the dragons and snakes are mixed, and it is not very safe. If you move to the palace, I will ask the princess to properly place it in you."
Zhou Xiaoxiao gave him a white look: "It's not safe to live in your palace."
Cheng Shizhao became angry: "You bitch! If it wasn't for Zigui's sake, who would be in the mood to meddle in your business!"
"Okay, alright, I was wrong." Zhou Xiaoxiao waved his hand, "I accidentally said something, Your Highness has a lot, don't bother with me."
Cheng Shizhao's face flushed, and he was depressed for a long time. He didn't turn his head away, and said in a low voice, "You once said that the events of that day will be turned over, but it turns out that you can't do much, and you still resent the Lone King in your heart."
Zhou Xiaoxiao said: "That's natural. My Highness, you have married so many concubines, don't you know that all women are careful?"
Cheng Shizhao didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time came a sentence: "What do you want to do?"
What do you want to be? Is this asking me to make a condition? Zhou Xiaoxiao blinked.
"Why don't you apologize to me?"
Cheng Shizhao said angrily, "I don't know what's good or bad!" He walked away.
Which one does this sing again. Zhou Xiaoxiao spreads her hands.
She turned her head and asked Juanzi: "Juanzi, did your wife say something wrong?"
Juanzi said: "How can it be possible? How could the lady be wrong, it must be His Highness's fault, as long as what the lady said must be right."
Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled and put on her shoulder: "great, you're right."
The two walked for a day laughing and laughing, and returned at night.
Back to the inn.
There was a man standing at the door of the inn.
The man was tall and tall, with bright eyebrows.
Seeing them coming back, he turned around and called softly, "Xiaoxiao."
"Xingzhi! How come you are here!" Zhou Xiaoxiao cheered, piled the large and small bags in his hand to Juanzi, and ran to the figure.
"Tonight at the Lantern Festival in the City, I'm here to invite you to enjoy the lanterns together."
"Didn't you hear that you were locked up? How did you get out?"
"… "
"Why is your face red, isn't it the one who got out of the dog's hole?"
"Don't make fun of it, it's just over the wall."
"Haha, you've learned badly, you."
"… "
The two walked shoulder to shoulder, the setting sun shone in the evening, and the shadows formed a pair.
