Chapter 138: Boarding the Thief Ship No
Jing Ci finally took care of the affairs of the Wang family one by one. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
During this period, Cui Lu did not interfere, but kept helping her silently.
"I want to know, how long have you taken me off?" On the food table, Jing Ci tilted his head and asked him. As smart as she is, she can naturally guess that Cui Lu has dredged up with her eldest sister, otherwise she can get out of Chang'an City?
"Now that you're out, it's better to relax and go back, thanks to that."
"Makes sense." Jing Ci nodded, with Cui Lu here, there is no need to worry about the people on the side, just play if you can.
"I've got a good place here, would you like to take a look?"
"Where?"
"Luzhou."
Luzhou ...... This place is quite familiar, as if I heard the young girl say, Luzhou ...... Luzhou, don't drive Li Longji. Thinking of the two chance encounters with Li Longji in Cui Zhai, Jing Ci immediately understood.
"I wonder if you want to show me your friend?"
"Well, this one...... I think ......" Cui Lu poured wine into her small wine glass as she spoke, "It's a good thing to communicate more with people who are different from you, gentlemen are harmonious but different, maybe you don't know much about him, is it too paranoid to deny a person just a little bit?" β
"What do I think...... Do you mean to drag me on a thief ship? She looked up at him, he even got involved in "gentleman", and it was strange that he didn't mean anything else.
Cui Lu raised his glass and said bluntly, "Is it a thief ship, you will only know when you go to see it, do you dare to go?" β
She smiled indifferently, "Why don't you dare." Then he raised his glass and touched it. has been a delicate fourth lady in the boudoir in the Yang Mansion for a year, and I haven't done such an exciting thing for a long time.
She was also curious about who the third sister's favorite Li Longji was, and even more curious about what he could do to make Cui Lu throw a lot of money for it.
At their speed, Luoyang went to Luzhou in less than two days.
On the day of departure, Jing Ci wore men's clothes as usual, and also wore a beard.
"You ......"
Jing Ci waved away Cui Lu's hand that wanted to move her beard, raised her head, and was quite proud, "Please call me Wang Shilang in the future." β
"Gotcha."
The mood of the two of them was very relaxed along the way, and it was a great pleasure to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
Stayed overnight on the way.
The next day, he finally entered Luzhou City.
After all, Luzhou is a small place, not as good as Chang'an and Luoyang, which are Gyeonggi, and most of the people walking are from Guanzhong, and it is rare to see Hu people's faces.
"I'm finally in town, I'm going to buy Fandel." Jing Ci said.
"Aren't you dressed as a man now, what do you want to do?"
"The two thin eyebrows on my forehead can see the identity of a woman at a glance, so I naturally have to do a full set of plays."
Cui Luo nodded, "It's done." β
The two did not ask pedestrians for their way to the market. In small places, it is easy to find a market, just go to a crowded place. There is still some time before sunset, and the people in the market are quite leisurely, this market is not large, but there are quite a lot of people.
Jing Ci chose a store with a good faΓ§ade and looked at it, and was about to walk in, but found that the person next to him was gone. She looked back at Cui Liu, who was a few steps away, "You're not going in?" β
"It's awkward for two men to go into a place like this."
She glanced at him helplessly, "If you don't enter, forget it." Then he stepped over the threshold.
The goods in the shop are quite rich and complete.
The shopkeeper was drawing the abacus, and when he saw a customer coming to the door, he greeted him with a smile, "Yo, guest officer, what do you need?" β
"Shopkeeper, give me a box of snails."
"What?" The shopkeeper thought he had misheard, "You said you wanted to ...... Luozidai? β
"Hmm."
"You're kidding...... I've got a good copper dai here, I'll show you......"
"I don't need any copper dai, do you have any snail dai here?"
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, why was this person so uninteresting, and said angrily: "Guest officer, we are Luzhou, you are in the palace?" β
"Such a big shop, not even Luozidai?" Jing Ci's eyes widened and he was skeptical.
The shopkeeper was speechless, could this person come to make trouble?
Thinking like this, the shopkeeper unconsciously changed his face, "There is a place in Luzhou, go out and walk north for half an hour, and there is a mansion with 'Li Mansion' written on it, there must be something you want there, go and go." The shopkeeper waved his hand, and the intention of driving away could not be more obvious.
"Hey, what kind of attitude do you have, if you don't have it, you can't talk well." Jing Ci was helpless, turned around and walked out. The people in this place are really weird, and they don't do business like they do business.
"Bought it?" Cui Luo, who was waiting for Jing Ci outside the shop, said.
"It's just that the shopkeeper doesn't have a snail Dai, and his attitude is not good."
"Luo Zidai?" Cui Lu felt quite funny, "How can a small city like Luzhou have the best fans of Persia, Wang Shilang, this is not Chang'an and Luoyang." β
"Yes, yes......"
"What do you think?"
Jing Ci bit her lower lip lightly, so to speak...... Her behavior was indeed a bit unbelievable, no wonder the shopkeeper did the same to her.
She remembered that the thing Fang Nian and the young girl used to describe Liu Mei was called Tong Dai, which was all over the streets of Luzhou.
When you go out, Tong Dai will be Tong Dai. Jing Ci bought a box of copper dai at the vendor, and when he traced it, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a fake beard, which was really a bit gentlemanly.
While the market was not dispersed, the two of them casually found a restaurant and sat down to eat.
The food shop is quite large, but you don't have to think about it, there is absolutely no meat. After leaving Luoyang, they never ate meat again.
They ordered a few soup cakes with some vegetables, and it didn't take long for them to be served.
The chef's skills are average, but the portions are extremely generous. One cake is bigger than any restaurant in Chang'an, and the portion of each other dish is extremely sufficient.
I really don't know whether to say the simplicity of the shopkeeper or whether to say that he is not good at business.
"Little Er, check out." Cui Lu's shot is a big one.
Xiao Er was speechless, "This, this can't be done, the small shop can't be found." β
"You have a lot of portions, so you don't have to look for them."
"No, based on sincerity, the shopkeeper won't let us do this kind of thing."
Jing Ci smiled, Xiao Er was really interesting, so he took out some copper plates from his money bag and gave them to Xiao Er, "I'll give it." β
Xiao Er bent down to take the money, counted it carefully, and put nearly half of it back on the table.
"Aren't you going to lose such a little money?"
"How can it be, you must be from other places, Luzhou is at this price." Xiao Er said with a smile: "This year's harvest is bumper, the taxes are less than in previous years, the corrupt officials are gone, and the people in Luzhou are much better." β
I see.
Jing Ci thoughtfully, this place in Luzhou ...... I really don't know how to say it, in short, it doesn't look like the current Tang Dynasty at all.
After eating and drinking, Jing Ci thought that Cui Lu would take her to meet her friends, but he didn't want to, so he found a high-class mansion and opened two rooms, ready to rest.
"I said Cui Langjun, what are you selling?" Jing Zi is puzzled.
Cui Qi raised his head, and said, "What's the hurry, someone will come to pick us up tomorrow." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
I spent several days on the road, and I got a lot of dust. Jing Ci is a person who loves cleanliness, and after staying, she directly asked the shopkeeper to take a bath.
This tired the second servant in the shop, and the project was huge, and everyone almost stopped working for it. For a while, the news spread up and down the store, and there was a Lang Jun who was going to bathe.
Jing Zi blushed suddenly, and there was such a big movement after taking a bath, it seems that the people here are really ...... Simple.
