Chapter 360: Shopping

Muqi City covers a wide area. At the beginning, the old prince imitated Tianzhe to build a mansion, and all the nobles and generals around him also moved their families into the city, built a mansion, and settled down. But the same as the royal palace, even outside, there is also this private pasture. The old prince is very kind to the people around him, and his subordinates are used to a nomadic life, and they are not used to going to the city. Therefore, the old prince built such a city on this grassland with his own strength, and at that time, as long as the officials or nobles above the commander of a thousand commanders, they could get a free mansion as a mansion. At the same time, he recruited a large number of merchants who wandered the steppes and provided them with shops to sell in the city. In this way, after five or six years, Wang Cheng finally became decent.

Now, after 20 years of development, Muqi City has become a special place on the grassland, even more lively than the capital. In addition to the mansions that were originally awarded to the nobles, even the construction of a house in the city had to go through many complicated procedures and a lot of money. In other words, Muqi City is no longer an empty city that needed to provide houses for free and gather popularity when it was first built, but a real and lively royal city.

When the old prince built the city, it is said that he found a very famous civil architect from Tianzhe to design it, so the scope of the royal city is also very large, at least now, it can also support the development of more than 100 years. The palace is flanked by lively commercial streets. Once upon a time, it was a place where merchants did business for free. Nowadays, the rent of a shop here costs a lot of money. And this shop, even now, is still only rented and not sold, and the property is still firmly in the hands of the palace.

It is said that it is on both sides of the palace, but the palace covers an area of more than 100 acres, and it takes a certain amount of time to go from the main gate of the palace to the north and south. Therefore, when you leave the house, you have to take a carriage. Moreover, according to the rules of the aristocracy, the master is not allowed to go out through the side door and the back door, so if the people in the palace want to go out, they must come out of the side door at the main entrance, and then take a carriage to other places.

Mu Yi also said that the commercial streets on both sides of the palace actually sold similar things. However, because almost all of the roads from the office yamen in the south of the city to the aristocratic mansions in the north of the city are from the palace side, the things sold in the commercial street on the east side are relatively high-end. The people living on the west side are all people who moved here later, not the original group of centurions and centurions, so the residents on the west side are often lower in status, so the things sold on the west side of the commercial street are relatively cheaper.

This time, Lin Yu and they are going to the commercial street in the east of the city.

Tong Guò has heard about it these days, and Lin Yu still admires the old prince. It is inconceivable that a person who dies in his thirties is still playing an active role in the military, talent management and people's livelihood. However, it can only be said that God is jealous of talents, such a capable person is not only jealous of his father, but also assassinated by his wife. At this moment, Lin Yufang felt that Xiao Ya, as a traverser, was able to be impressed by such a hero, which was really deserved.

After a quarter of an hour's journey, the coachman's horse stopped, and Mu Yi got out of the carriage with Lin Yu.

The sun is warm, and the snow on the street is solid and bright, reflecting a very soft light.

There were no people on the street as Lin Yu imagined, but there were still people shopping.

"Miss Lin may not be used to it, I heard that the streets of Tianzhe are very lively. It's just that our Muqi City is more special, and it is different from the south. Our commercial street in the east looks deserted and not as lively as the one in the west, but it sells all good things, and the nobles like to patronize it.! After Tuya got out of the car, she introduced Lin Yu.

Lin Yu smiled and nodded, and followed Tuya to stroll.

Tuya actually doesn't go shopping much, as the wife of the eldest prince, she doesn't have much money for her to spend because of the relationship between the husband and wife. And her identity is there, so it's always difficult to go shopping on West Street, so she can't come to the street a few times a year. But fortunately, there are only a few famous shops in the city, and she is very familiar with them.

The two of them went to a jade shop first. The jade in this shop is very beautiful in terms of color and carving, even for people like Lin Yu who don't understand jade, it is pleasing to the eye. It's probably the difference of the times, and she is a little different from Tuya. Tuya felt that those big jade screens, jade pots, and jade cups were very beautiful, and she couldn't put them down when she picked them up. Lin Yu only looked at some small things such as buckles, jade pendants, and wrenches.

Lin Yu personally prefers topaz because it looks warmer and warmer. So in the topaz area, a jade pendant that is "blessed in front of you" caught her attention. This jade pendant is carved with the word "Fu" in the middle, and the surrounding of the word Fu is a very simple ring-shaped decoration. This jade pendant is very small, the size of the thumb and index finger circled, but the jade is delicate, warm and moist, and very rare. Whether you hang it on your chest or drop it on a sachet, it's a good choice.

The buckles in this shop are also very meticulous, Lin Yu wanted to pick one for Jing Hao, but in the end, he made a mistake between the peach pattern and the claw pattern. Comparing the two, neither of them is willing to let go.

"I see that both of them are very beautiful, which one to give to the little prince, he will like it." Lin Xue saw that Lin Yu's choice was difficult, so she spoke.

"The peach pattern represents peace, and the crest pattern represents bravery, I think it is appropriate to give it to him, but I don't know which one is better." Lin Yuzuo took one to take a look, and then another to see, still hesitating. I was just afraid that Lin Xue wouldn't understand, so I told Lin Xue the meaning and asked her to help think about it.

"A wife does not ask her husband to make meritorious deeds, but hopes that he will be safe. Or how could it be said that peace is bliss? Lin Xue's words can be regarded as feelings. After this experience, she realized that nothing is more important than peace.

Lin Yu suddenly became enlightened, and what she has always pursued is peace and tranquility. It was only when I returned to Hushan with Jing Hao that I began to feel that Jing Hao was also a man who had made great achievements, rather than a child who often surrounded him. Therefore, it is difficult for her to choose between the peach pattern and the claw pattern. But Lin Xue's words made her react, no matter when, Jing Hao should be her man first, and then Coral 's little prince. In the end, she thought about it.

So, Lin Yu silently put down the buckle of the crest, ready to buy the peach pattern.

Seeing that Lin Yu took a fancy to it, Mu Yi took the silver ticket to settle the bill, and the two jade pieces were included in Lin Yu's pocket.

Lin Yu chose small things, Tuya didn't look at those big guys anymore, although her eyes were a little lovely, but she knew that she was shy in her pocket, so she could only give up. (To be continued.) )
