Chapter 26: Wearing the Book 26
Gangneung has a lot of water, a Cangjiang River goes around the city, in the rainy season, the whole town is like shrouded in a misty rain curtain, the rain does not stop, although it does not reduce the prosperity of Gangneung, but in the end there is a lot of inconvenience in traveling.
When they arrived, it was late autumn. Gangneung is not rainy either. The shore of the Cangjiang River is bustling, and the wharf is full of ferrymen, traders selling all kinds of goods, ascetics who earn hard money, and of course, there are people who are about to travel or return from a trip with a full back of luggage.
As soon as they got off the boat, a large number of people pushed and squeezed up, mostly to sell their goods to Shen Chen or to ask if they needed coolies.
The three of them are all martial arts practitioners, and the luggage they bring is simple, so naturally they don't need any porters. It took a lot of effort to squeeze out the encirclement wrapped by everyone, Shen Chen looked back at the dock that was still densely surrounded by the crowd, and suddenly felt a little emotional.
Although this world advocates martial arts, there are still a lot of people who don't have kung fu. Whether there is martial arts or not, everyone has their own life. A peerless master may not live happily, but an ordinary person who doesn't know kung fu may also live happily.
If you can calm down, I want to calm down and experience the way of life in this world.
It's a pity that once a game of chess is unfolded, no one on both sides of the game can stop, but it can't be stopped.
Ying was very familiar with Gangneung, and after a while, he took the two of them around and found a place to stay.
Jiangling is mainly based on lanes, and there are many streets and alleys.
The inn is built very quietly, and there is a small courtyard at the back, surrounded by green trees in the courtyard, and the room is elegantly arranged.
The whole Gangneung is very elegant, aside from its prosperity, there is a feeling of being hidden in the world, blending into its prosperity, and there is a sense of being lively and extraordinary.
It was hard for Shen Chen to imagine that the Shadow Killing Building, which kills people without seeing blood, was actually built in such a place.
The weather is getting cooler, and the storefronts on the street are decorated with curtains made of felt. The street vendors also changed into thick clothes, guarded their stalls, closed their hands in their sleeves when no one came, and hurriedly raised a smiling face to greet them warmly when someone came.
"This little brother, but do you want to take a look? The small ones sold here are all extremely good novelty styles from the imperial capital, to ensure that Tong Su is not bullied!" A hawker who was dressed in a little gray and was facing his hands and was angry saw the well-dressed person walking towards him, and immediately raised his voice.
The person who was recruited was none other than Shen Chen, who was walking on the road and looking curiously east and west.
Shen Chen is really curious about this place, a pair of black and bright eyes looked around excitedly, being recruited at this moment, his eyes took advantage of the situation to see the vendor's stall, but the body that Shen Chen wore was the little son of the Ouyang family, plus he also remembered a lot of Ouyang Chen's own memories these days, so at a glance, he knew that although the things on the stall had a bit of imperial style, they were by no means of high-quality.
The hawker, who was staring at the visitor expectantly, saw a handsome young man in green clothes with crooked black eyes, thin lips grinning, revealing a smile with red lips and white teeth.
The peddler was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the young man in Tsing Yi had gone away, and at the same time, he recalled that the young man had a shaking movement when he laughed.
Shen Chen was walking alone on the street, and Han Muche and Ying said that they were going to investigate information and ran away early in the morning.
And he slept for a day because he was too tired from the boat, and now he woke up and had to wander around by himself. When he arrived in Jiangling, Shen Chen was not so thick, not because Jiangling was not cold, but because Han Muche really couldn't see his virtue of looking around for warmth, and taught him how to protect his body with true qi.
It's not that Shen Chen won't, it's just that he was used to it, and when it was cold, he was wrapped in thick clothes, and this time when he arrived in Jiangling, he saw more people than usual, but he really realized that he was a kung fu person, and the natural heating was not in vain.
As soon as he wore less clothes, Shen Chen felt that he was indescribably light, and his mood was a little better.
I casually walked to an alley, and when I looked up, I saw an extremely elegant looking hut. The dark brown plaque on the house is written with three quaint big characters "Pinyu Zhai", and one side is printed with a dignified square seal.
Looking down at his waist, he didn't fall anything, and suddenly he wanted to buy a waist pendant.
Shen Chen pushed the door in, the incense burner burned with a faint soothing incense, and there was a soft blanket at the door for people to remove the mud from their shoes.
A white-headed shopkeeper stood behind the counter, as if he was writing something, but other than that, there was not even a small servant. The shopkeeper didn't greet him, and Shen Chen looked at himself.
At a glance, I found that the store not only sells jade, but also sells words, calligraphy and paintings, as well as Fengyue scripts.
Shen Chen became interested, and looked at the past one by one. Well, the name of this book is not bad, this "Demon Fox Story" is a strange story at first glance, this "Red Note Chaos" is not a kind of boudoir complaint, right?
Flipping through one by one, his hands suddenly sank. Fingers brushed over the words on the title page, which were extremely beautiful, stiff and powerful, and sleek and elegant at the subtle corners. Take a look at the author's signature, "Dong Juesheng". So Shen Chen grunted and found several books by this author, planning to take them back and read them slowly.
Shen Chen turned his head to look at the jade pendant again.
Touching the counter with his hand, he saw a jade pendant with a small and mighty unicorn carved with a little pale white color, and suddenly thought of Han Muche, and he took the lead in picking up the jade pendant. hooked his lips, just think that this young master is in a good mood and buy something for the male protagonist!
I picked a jade pendant with a fine cabbage engraved with a jasper transparent for myself, and made a fortune, how good, stupid readers are happy.
When checking out, the old shopkeeper finally raised his head, looking at his face that he was over the age of six, and his slightly cloudy eyes were very sharp. The old man has a continuous temperament all over his body, and the corners of Shen Chen's eyes jumped, he couldn't feel the level of the old man, and it seemed that he was a master again.
The old shopkeeper didn't say much, but when he saw a few scripts selected by Shen Chen, he glanced up at Shen Chen again, and then his somewhat thin hand neatly dialed the abacus and reported a number.
"Huh, it's okay," the stupid reader muttered in his heart, "It's still within the range of what I can bear, it's just that the purse is flattened by more than half of the qaq, go back and blackmail Han Muche, who called his jade pendant is twice the price of mine!"
Thinking about it like this, Shen Chen's mood became extremely happy again, and he walked out of Pinyuzhai with a low song, remembering the moment the shopkeeper looked up at him, and then turned to look at the plaque, only to see that the words engraved on the squarely printed seal were - Dong Juesheng.
On the way back, Shen Chen threw the book in his hand and thought in his heart, that Pin Yuzhai was opened by a person named Dong Juesheng? Dong Juesheng is a person who is quite good at writing Fengyue scripts? Dong Juesheng is the shopkeeper with profound martial arts?
After thinking about it, I didn't come up with a meaningful answer, so I smiled deeply, and it didn't matter if I just didn't want to.
Suddenly I heard the sound of cars and horses, then the neighing of horses and the hurried "whoo" of the driver.
At this time, Shen Chen had already walked out of the quiet alleyway to the lively street, and there were more people, and occasionally there were cars and horses driving by.
The sudden loss of control of the carriage obviously caused panic, there were already many people on the street, and it was difficult to avoid it for a while, and the people who were close to the runaway carriage were screaming and screaming in a hurry, while eagerly dodging to the side, and the people were crowded and hit the roadside stalls, so there was no chaos.
Shen Chen saw that the coachman was flustered and could only pull the reins desperately, sighed, suddenly flew up, his clothes were windy, and the few Fengyue books he bought were thrown high into the air by him, and the person had already taken a brisk step, condensing the true qi in his right hand, and holding the head of the runaway horse in his palm.
For a moment, the noisy atmosphere seemed to freeze, and the carriage was pressed in place and could not move.
This move, every move, one flew and one stopped, and even until Feng Yueben, who fell from the sky, was taken into his arms by Shen Chen steadily, it was only an instant time.
Receiving the admiring glances from all around, the stupid reader realized that he had finally played a handsome role, and he hooked the corners of his lips for a while.
Pat the sleeve without leaving a trace of dust, the stupid reader intends to hide his merit and fame without taking away a cloud.
"Wait. A somewhat low, magnetic voice rang out.
The curtain embroidered with delicate patterns of the carriage that had previously gone out of control was slowly lifted from the inside by a white and pure hand.
A man dressed in plain white brocade appeared. The neckline, cuffs, etc., of the brocade robe are embroidered with delicate dark lines that are not easy to find. When it is the right place, the riches are all in the dark.
Shen Chen had already discovered the person sitting in the carriage, so he didn't plan to make a move at first. But the other party sat still as if he was waiting for him to move, and Shen Chen had no choice but to play a handsome role in front of everyone.
Shen Chen just turned around and watched the man come out of the carriage, the hem of the brocade was a little long, hanging a little on the ground, and the man didn't care. With a shallow smile on his face, he walked towards Shen Chen and arched his hand, "Thanks to Gongzi's timely rescue." ”
As soon as the man came out, the people around him gasped.
It's because this guy is so good-looking!
It is said that Jiangling has beauties, and Jiangling people have already selected the top ten beauties in their minds, but now that they look at it, even the first Shengyue Pavilion beauty is not worthy of the one in front of them!
The man's long green silk is not bundled, only a plain white bone hairpin is loosely shaped, and the green silk is soft on the back, and its beauty is indescribable. The man's appearance is not close to beauty, Danfeng eyes, eyebrows are flying, high nose, vermilion lips, blended with that handsome face but it looks indescribably atmospheric and lazy, romantic and chic.
At this moment, this person had just the right smile on his face, but Shen Chen felt that there was a sense of laziness lingering around him.
Looking at this person's appearance and temperament, Shen Chen only thought of the word "merry".
Mo Shangren, full of romance. There is a good son, unparalleled in the world.
"Where, brother Tai's words are serious. Shen Chen also smiled, smiling modestly and defensively.
Shen Chen didn't hide it, and his demeanor was detached, how could the other party not see it.
Raising his eyebrows, the boy in brocade seemed to have a slightly interesting "oh?", but his eyes happened to fall on the few Fengyue books that Shen Chen was holding in his arms.
Approaching the inn, Shen Chen saw a young man holding a sword waiting quietly at the door of the inn.
"Huh?" the stupid reader blinked, Han Muche?
This Han Muche also saw Shen Chen, walked up quickly, and frowned, "Where have you been?"
Shen Chen shook the things he was holding with a smile, "Seeing that you weren't there, I went out for a walk alone." Oh yes, I bought you something too. ”
He took out the jade pendant like a treasure, and Shen Chen looked begging, "How about it, like it or not, I think it suits you very well~"
Han Muche's expression softened slightly, and his star-like eyes brightened a little, but he saw the jade pendant hanging on Shen Chen's waist, green and watery, and he only said, "You bought it?"
Shen Chen saw Han Muche's gaze falling on his waist, and thought to himself, protagonist, only I can understand if you speak so well...... Picked up the jade cabbage he bought, and said happily, "Yes, yes, it's beautiful, right?"
Han Muche hooked his lips, "You should ask me to come with you next time." "That's ...... You can buy the same one.
Shen Chen pursed his lips, "Cut, don't like it." But he wasn't angry, he just poked his head to look at the sword Han Muche was holding, "Hey, Shaoxia, what are you holding?"
Han Muche was helpless, handed over the sword, and said, "I also bought something for you." ”
"(⊙o⊙) Is it really for me?!" The stupid reader was so happy that he couldn't put it down while holding the sword, and after playing for a long time, he suddenly thought of a strict question.
"Damn, where did you get the money?"
