Chapter 7 Cloth Shop

Ling Yun picked up the bag full of heavy gold ingots, walked out of the medical hall, and came to the bustling street market.

The world is still in an agricultural society, and in addition to food, most of the things sold are farm tools, from iron hoes, shovels, iron pots, to stone mills, stone grinders, to bamboo baskets and baskets, all of which are farm utensils.

The streets were full of people, rubbing shoulders, which was no different from the world in which Ling Yun lived.

It's a pity that most of these utensils for sale, Ling Yun can't use them, and when he walked outside a cloth shop, Ling Yun looked at the dirty clothes on his body, and couldn't help but have the idea of changing his clothes.

Ling Yun looked at the gorgeous splendor, and couldn't help but reach out and want to touch the touch.

The guy hurriedly stopped him and scolded: "Your hands are so dirty, how can I sell them after touching them?"

Before Ling Yun went out, he washed up and dressed up, raised his hands to signal to him, and his palms were clean.

The guy didn't care so much, picked up the measuring tape, poked him and walked away, and said, "We are a high-end cloth store, you want to buy clothes and go to the hemp shop and used clothes store opposite, don't wander around here, it will hurt my business." ”

Ling Yun got angry and said loudly: "I said you, open the door to do business, just this service attitude?"

The guy smiled and said, "Which uncle will be dressed like this? You are a horse feeder, what are you here to pretend to be here?"

"What's the noise!" said a woman's voice from behind the shop.

"Shopkeeper, this poor bastard has come to our store to make trouble. "The wicked sue first.

A graceful woman walked out with her veil covered, raised her eyes to look at Ling Yun, raised her hand to signal the man to step back, and said, "This little brother, have you bought cloth for the uncle of the family?"

"I look at him as a horse feeder, and he smells of horse manure, how can he be like a butler?" said the man, sneering.

"Shut your mouth. The woman's voice was soft, but powerful, and the man did not dare to speak again.

"No, I'm making two clothes for myself. Ling Yun had a good impression of this woman, and took out a gold ingot, which weighed three or two, and put it on the counter.

The woman smiled slightly, there were some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, it seemed that the years had passed, but the style at the corners of her eyes was still a thousand kinds, she could really be described as a half-old, and the flavor still existed.

"This gold is enough for twenty pieces. The woman instructed her fellow, "Take a small scale, cut it in half a tael of gold, and then find a tael of silver for the young master." ”

Ling Yun didn't know the gold and silver exchange ratio in this world, he only knew that his money was easy to come by, and he didn't feel distressed if he spent more and less, anyway, he could go to the Hu family to get some at any time after spending it, not to mention that this woman looked gentle and lovely, how could she deceive herself: "Money is not a problem, two of the best." ”

The man picked up the gold ingots in surprise, looked left and right, put it in his mouth and bit it, to make sure it was true, and his doubts increased greatly: "Isn't this guy a Jiangyang thief, how can there be so much gold?" But the female shopkeeper's order has been given, and if there is money, it will not be made in vain, so the man hurriedly went to work.

The woman made a pot of tea for Ling Yun, and Ling Yun swaggered down on the Taishi chair in the cloth shop, pretending to taste the tea.

"How's it smelling?" asked the woman.

Ling Yun didn't know anything about tea tasting, so he stubbornly said, "This tea is lighter." ”

The woman was a little surprised and said, "Yes, this is the tea of early spring, and the taste of the new tea is a little light." She knew in her heart that this man was dressed in shabby clothes, but he did not speak at all like a subordinate, nor like a vulgar brute, and was quite interested in him.

"Well, no wonder it tastes light. Ling Yun didn't expect to hit the point by mistake, and was afraid that she would continue to talk about tea, so she hurriedly changed the topic, "You are a woman's family, how can you look at the store by yourself, what about your husband?"

"Well, my husband, he has long since passed away, and so has my mother-in-law. The woman replied.

"No, I mean, what about your husband?" Ling Yun didn't expect him to misunderstand, so he quickly explained.

"He, I don't know where he's fooling around again, he hasn't been home for more than ten days, otherwise, I wouldn't have been a woman. The woman sighed, full of helplessness.

"Ten days, have you been missing for so many days, and you haven't reported it to the official?" Ling Yun said in surprise.

"Alas, who knows if he is going to fool around, such a big person, who can kidnap him a stinky man? What is the use of reporting to the official, if he is found in the Qinglou wine shop, he will lose face and die. "The woman said.

Ling Yun nodded, it seemed that this was not the first time that his man had disappeared, so he stopped talking.

Not long after, the man came to pass the word, and the master who made the clothes asked Ling Yun to pick up the goods two days later.

"If the young master doesn't want to come to pick it up, leave the address, and I'll send a guy to deliver it to the door." The woman knew that this order was not a low profit, so she hoped that the service would be considerate and the business would be good next time.

"No, I'll pick it up the day after tomorrow. Ling Yun turned and left.

"Shopkeeper, our cloth shop has been doing business here for more than ten years, why have we never seen this rich man?" the guy asked suspiciously, after all, there would be no more than a hundred rich people in the entire Xianmen County who could easily take out three taels of gold to make clothes, let alone this remote Jingnan County.

"There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, so you must not judge people by appearance. What's more, the ten-year Immortal Cultivation Conference is coming soon, and it is not surprising that there will be more and more strange people who come to the Immortal Gate Mansion in the future. The woman said indifferently.

The young man was only a teenager, and he didn't know anything about the situation of the grand event ten years ago, so he asked, "This immortal cultivation conference, will there really be immortals?"

"Hehe, immortals? If you have become immortals, why bother cultivating immortals, let alone attending the immortal cultivation conference! The people who come are just mortals, but these mortals have something extraordinary, different from us ordinary people. ”

The woman looked into the distance, and Ling Yun had disappeared into the crowd.

She had a lot of thoughts in her heart, thinking of her husband's disappearance, and her heart was pinched, and she said in her heart: "This kind of thing is annoying when it is in front of me, and it disappears all of a sudden, and I think, I am really cheap." Between his frowns, he became sad like a girl.

Xianmen Mansion is the largest county in the south, with jurisdiction over the border 14 towns, which is the top priority of the border defense mechanism - nine provinces and three passes, but since the rebellion of the southern annexed small country - South Burma, Xianmen has repeatedly violated the border, Xianmen has borne the brunt, decades of war will consume half of the men in South Burma, millions of dead and wounded on the battlefield, Xianmen Mansion has also suffered heavy losses, and the population has lost most of the population due to escaping the war or the corpse field, and the vitality is greatly damaged.

Since then, in the area of Xianmenfu County, bandits have swarmed, divided one side, because of the mountains and dangerous roads, since ancient times there is a saying that "the road of Xianmen is dangerous over the Shu Road", so the officers and soldiers repeatedly suppressed the bandits and did not go well, and they all returned defeated, and even led to the bandits in the place being rampant, and the officers and soldiers were powerless to suppress it, so they had to stick to the area of the county town and barely maintain public order.

The woman of the cloth shop has lived here for a long time, and she does not know the danger of her husband's disappearance? How dare she go out to look for her without authorization? As for reporting to the official, she just sent some silver taels to the government in vain.

She looked at the street, people coming and going, sighed, and could only hope that the dead ghost was dead.
