Chapter 266: Ningzhou Night Market

Hearing that it was a visitor from Huzhou, the person next to him began to think about it, and felt a little strange for a while, but he couldn't think of a name. Huzhou is far away from here, and usually only merchants come here, but he really doesn't know what distinguished guests have come to Ningzhou City, which can make Chen Xiangyuan press forward step by step, and the Li family in Ningzhou is almost out of breath.

Huzhou has a dense water network and abundant products, and many wealthy nobles on the rich side will not leave Huzhou easily, after all, some businesses that ordinary people seem to be very profitable, but it is difficult to get into their eyes. If it's worth the trip themselves, it's going to be something remarkable.

The person next to him thought about it, and still asked very cautiously: "The distinguished guests from Huzhou, aren't they those few?" Mr. Storyteller is very well-informed, and he has traveled south and north in Longguo, and he is very clear about some things in other states, so he can be said to have remembered those big people in Huzhou, and when he opened his mouth to ask, he vaguely guessed who this person was.

The previous storyteller yawned, raised a glass of wine, and said in a daze: "Haha, don't say, don't say, it's not interesting to let your old boy guess it." Chen Xiangyuan of Ningzhou City was able to hold back, but this time he moved on the bright side, who could make him like this, who else could be from Huzhou City?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, finished eating the potstickers in the bowl, threw a broken silver at the shopkeeper, and then left dejectedly, maybe tomorrow morning, these two will go all the way north, or all the way south, continue to hold their own shocking wood in a prosperous state city, find a teahouse, and rely on the anecdotes accumulated in their stomachs for decades to get food and clothing.

Qin Chuan listened to the conversation between the two, and shook his head a little boringly, he didn't even know about Ningzhou City now, let alone the distant Huzhou City? Qin Chuan added another bowl of side dishes, feeling that the side dishes were sour and sweet, but they had a different flavor, and they could even be compared with the shopkeeper in Qingzhou City who specialized in selling side dishes. Ningzhou City is really under the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a small porridge shop can make such a delicious side dish, it is really a vulgar thing, and it can also be made into a delicacy in the world.

Shen Lingqiu had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked around very vigilantly, Ningzhou City, which she was very familiar with in the past, was now extremely dangerous to her, and if she was not careful, she would give her life here. She was born in a big family in Ningzhou, and she knows some of the methods of wealthy giants to disappear a person into the world forever, sometimes it is easier than blinking an eye. However, at this time, Shen Lingqiu had already made up a person in pitch black, which was not obvious in the night, and she was dressed in shabby clothes at this time, even those small merchants and vendors who were eating next to her would not look at her more, at least tonight, she was safe.

Qin Chuan saw that Shen Lingqiu and Aunt Zhi had eaten enough, and asked a little bored for a while: "This is the first time I came to Ningzhou City, if the two of you want to be the east, in addition to letting me have a full meal, you have to let me see the prosperity of Ningzhou City." ”

Aunt Zhi frowned from time to time when she saw that Qin Chuan wanted to visit Ningzhou City, in fact, Qin Chuan's request was not rude, but today's Ningzhou City is different from the past, it is controlled by the Chen family in Ningzhou, and the city is full of his eyeliner. His cultivation of this synaesthesia realm is not outstanding among the four major families in Ningzhou City, and the Chen family in Ningzhou also raises a group of bandits from the martial arts rivers and lakes, so that Shen Lingqiu, who escaped from marriage, is the target of those people's rewards. And I don't know to what extent Qin Chuan's martial arts cultivation has recovered, Aunt Zhi was a little embarrassed for a while, and she didn't know what to say to Qin Chuan.

Perhaps seeing Aunt Zhi's predicament, Qin Chuan said in a low voice: "Aunt Zhi, don't worry, I'm more afraid of death than anyone else." It's my first day in Ningzhou City, so why don't you take me to familiarize myself with the environment in the city, so that I don't know where to run when I run away in the future. But as you know, there are many dangers in this city, so let's just take a look and leave. ”

After Shen Lingqiu heard it, he didn't refuse: "I think Qin Chuan is right, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, we can be cautious when we come to Ningzhou City, but we don't live as rats, and we can't see the light of day." Qinchuan, in Ningzhou, every fifteenth full moon night, some wealthy giants in the city will invite some craftsmen to play lanterns, but it is much more lively than usual, let's take a look at the surrounding situation later, as long as you are careful, there should be no big deal. ”

Aunt Zhi couldn't help it, so she could only reluctantly agree: "We have to say it in advance, if you encounter something wrong, you have to run quickly, remember not to conflict with others, even if others are bullied to the neck, you must endure it, don't expose your identity for a while, don't forget the purpose of our coming to Ningzhou City." ”

The three of them left the carriage in front of the potsticker shop, and bothered the shopkeeper to take care of it. Qin Chuan ate the potstickers of the three of them alone, and the shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly nodded, telling them that the shop would only close in the middle of the night, so they didn't have to come back too early.

Walking from the pot sticker shop to the state hall, the lights were like daylight along the way, and all the shops around could see it clearly, and from time to time there were a few lantern teams with surnames written on their faces coming over, and in front of everyone, they straightened their waists, and the joy on their faces was about to overflow. Holding all the lanterns with your right hand, they are covered with a lot of flowers, dogwoods and other things, and put them into the inland river of the state city, and the small fish that shine on the bottom of the river are clearly visible.

At first, the lanterns of Ningzhou City were written on paper by major families to pray for blessings, and followed the inland river in the city all the way east, and finally merged into the canal. Over time, every full moon night, the people of Ningzhou City will flock to the side of the inland river to see which wealthy family is thriving this month. Judging from these few times, the Chen family in Ningzhou has gained the upper hand, and there are many people who come to put lanterns every time, and the materials are extremely particular. On the other hand, the Li family in Ningzhou before, in recent months, they have not been able to see them when they put out lanterns, and the people of Ningzhou City have said that the sky has changed.

Qin Chuan and Shen Lingqiu were staying in front of a calligraphy and painting shop at the moment, and there was a seal carved in front of Qin Chuan who felt happy in front of him. Although it is not made of precious materials, Qin Chuan feels that the person who carvers this should also be an expert, and the four-character seal is actually a single composition, not a distribution, which is very rare in the carving of seals.

"What's the matter, I like this seal, just buy it. Anyway, you have taken some ill-gotten gains today, and you can take this opportunity to spend it, so that you don't fall asleep in shame tonight. Shen Lingqiu said jokingly beside him.

Qin Chuan shook his head, he just thought that this seal was a little fun, and he didn't think about really buying it back, although his calligraphy was acceptable, but he didn't know anything about seal carving, even if he bought it back, it could only be a tyrannical thing.

At this moment, a noisy voice appeared in the crowd around him, Qin Chuan stared at Shen Lingqiu's back, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good.
