Zong Zhengke gently lifted the curtain of the car, and looked out through another layer of almost transparent tulle, and a wide street full of cars and horses came into her eyes. It is worthy of being the capital of Uogawa County, and its dense population and prosperous commerce are far from being comparable to Uoiwafu. In fact, if you look at the entire Tenkoku Province, there are only a handful of cities that are more prosperous than Uogawa Prefecture.

This Kaori Street is one of the famous streets of Uogawa Prefecture, paved with large blocks of bluestone, which are close to each other, almost seamless, and spacious enough for eight horses. In addition to a few teahouses, restaurants, bookstores, and theaters in Liao Liao, almost all of them are related to fat powder, spices, clothing and embroidery, jewelry and jade jewelry, etc. Therefore, the most people on this street are female customers. It is a male customer, and most of them accompany female customers to shop in the store, and it is rare to see a lone person.

The carriage slowly walked in the middle of the flow of people and vehicles, and after about a stone's throw away, Zong Zhengke's eyes swept over the brocade signboard of Qiluo Pavilion, and then lowered the curtain. After a while, the car stopped.

This time it was Mingxin who followed the car to the street, and she had been kneeling silently at the door of the car. But she has a job in her eyes, she pours a cup of tea for Zong Zhengke for a while, takes out a few fresh fruits and puts them in Zong Zhengke's hand, and then puts away the books that Zong Zhengke has read. Although the master and servant barely talked along the way, they were not lonely with each other.

The car stopped steadily, and Mrs. Xu, who was following outside, knocked on the carriage, and told that the place had arrived, and Mingxin walked to Zong Zhengke on his knees. She first dressed Zong Zhengke, and then took a curtain hat for her to wear, and there was nothing wrong with looking left and right, and then helped her out of the carriage.

When the girls of the Zongzheng family travel, it is customary that in addition to the big girl, there are at least two sturdy servants or mothers-in-law outside the car, and six healthy servants in Tsing Yi who are all dressed and well-dressed. Seeing Mingxin helping the girl to step on the stool and get out of the car, the eight people outside hugged up to protect the girl in the middle, and then the servants separated the flow of people and walked to Qiluo Pavilion together.

Mingxin ordered six healthy servants to stay outside the door, and let Xu Pozi and Wei's sister-in-law follow behind, and the three of them and Zong Zhengke entered the black lacquered gate of Qiluo Pavilion. Seeing a group of female guests entering the store, she immediately greeted a smiling woman in her thirties, and bowed to Zong Zhengke: "Slave family, please say hello to this girl, thank you for your visit." ”

Mingxin stepped forward and curtled his knees and said: "Sister-in-law is polite, my girl wants to pick some good materials to give to the elders to cut summer clothes, and select materials to make kang screens, I don't know what high-quality goods you have in your store?" ”

The Ju clan had already estimated from the clothing of Zong Zhengke and the others that they would not be small, even if the number of things they wanted was smaller, the final total price might be considerable. She hurriedly bent her knees and blessed her body, and led Zong Zhengke upstairs with a sweet smile: "Girl, please go to the private room to sit for a while, and Rong Nuwen will invite the big shopkeeper to come and talk to you in person." ”

Zong Zhengke nodded, and the Ju family led the way in front of the head, leading the group of four to the east of the second floor. Mingxin asked Mrs. Xu and sister-in-law Wei to guard the door and follow up to serve by herself.

Before entering the door, Mingxin took the mahogany suitcase that Sister-in-law Wei had been carrying. After entering the door, she first took off the gauze hat that Zong Zhengke was wearing, and then helped Zong Zhengke to sit down on the round stool next to the vermilion lacquer round table, and then opened the lid of the suitcase, and took out a complete set of sweet white porcelain tea sets and tea canisters and placed them on the table.

Seeing this, Ju's very discerning Shan ordered someone to bring boiling water, and asked people to serve pastries from the most famous dim sum shop in Yuchuan Prefecture, and persuaded them to use it.

When Zong Zhengke drank the tea, he tasted a piece of bean paste, only to see the door curtain move slightly, and a young beauty with a graceful posture and flow danced inside. This beauty has a vulgar appearance, a graceful figure, and a pair of hooking fox eyes, even if she doesn't smile, she has a little flattery, not to mention that at this time she is smiling with all kinds of style, and she is really shining between Gu Pan. As soon as she entered the door, she immediately sent Ju away.

"What a distinguished guest!" Hu Mei bowed to Zongzheng, both respectful and close, "This is the third girl of Zongzheng's family, Meiniang is polite!" After that, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, and winked at Zongzheng, but turned her face and snorted coldly at Mingxin.

Zong Zhengke chuckled lightly and said in his mouth: "The big shopkeeper, presumably the sister-in-law has already made it clear to you what I want, is there a suitable one?" As she spoke, she dipped her fingers in the tea and wrote on the table: Can you exchange all the silver tickets?

Hu Mei looked at the light handwriting on the table, nodded to Zong Zhengke and said, "As long as it is the material you want, there is nothing that we can't find in Qiluo Pavilion." The next person said that the girl wanted to embroider the kang screen? Can you tell me what kind of work it is? Do you need to do it for you? She squeezed her eyes at Zong Zhengke rather narrowly, and she didn't believe that the girl could embroider at all.

Zong Zhengke said: "If you want to embroider a Buddhist scripture, even if the embroidery is not very good, it is also my intention." The big shopkeeper is tired to get some suitable materials and embroidery threads, and they must be of good quality. On the other hand, he wrote: Don't have a large amount of expenses in the near future, I have a lot of money to keep it.

Hu Mei nodded again, and said to Zong Zhengkefu: "Please wait, girl, the slave family will come when she goes." She glanced at Mingxin, and her face showed confusion, not understanding why Mingxin had become so silent. But she's a smart person, so naturally she doesn't talk much.

After Zong Zhengke returned to Tianxingguo, this was the first time he met Mei Niang. She is very happy to see that this Meiniang, who is more and more energetic now, is no longer the same as she was four years ago when she first met in the Great Wei Kingdom.

She still remembered that Senior Sister Huiya, who was walking with her at that time, scolded Meiniang, saying that since the man had changed his mind, he had to live a personal life, and he would be angry with the negative person. If you really die, wouldn't it be cheaper to sluts?

Tsk, that's a good thing to say! So Mei Niang knocked on the door of her old mother-in-law's house, got the wife release letter and divorced her husband, claimed her dowry, took away a pair of children, and finally left the Great Wei Empire. Of course, she was able to do such a deviant thing in the most ancient Great Wei Empire because she had the support of the East China Sea Buddha Dapushou Monastery.

In the past two years, Mei Niang, with her extraordinary business talent, has managed to achieve the worldly industry of Da Pu Shou Zen Monastery - one of the dozens of big shopkeepers of Qiluo Pavilion with branches in major countries. Because she has a relationship with Zong Zhengke, in addition to scolding her senior sister Huiya, she is the closest to Zong Zhengke.

A year ago, Master Huiya, who was 80 years old, passed away. In addition to participating in the Nirvana ceremony held in the Buddha country, Mei Niang also took a pair of children to insist on setting up a mound for Master Huiya as a junior, according to the funeral rules of the layman. She has always regarded the string of prayer beads given to her by Master Huiya as a treasure, and said that she would pass it on to her daughter as a warning.

This is a strange woman who is affectionate and righteous, vigorous and resolute, and bold and not inferior to men. She was born in the Great Wei Empire, which had the most restraints on women under the whole world, and lived a suffocating life in her mother's family and her in-laws' family, until she left the place where the clouds of etiquette and religion were always hanging overhead, and her life was finally completely alive.

Don't look at Mei Niang, she is only in her twenties, in fact, she is in her early thirties. Now that she has settled in the Jokhang Empire, her son has been admitted to Jokhang at a young age, and her daughter is also ten years old this year. After a few more years of hard work, she can return to Dazhao with a lot of assets to enjoy the blessings of her son and daughter.

Zong Zhengke and Mei Niang are not masters and servants, but old friends. But Mei Niang remembered the grace of Mrs. Huiya, and because of Zong Zhengke's special status in Dapuji Temple and Dapushou Monastery, she transferred the mentality of serving and repaying her kindness to Zong Zhengke.

Last year, Zong Zhengke only slightly revealed his intention to return to Tianxingguo, and Mei Niang showed Master Mingen, who was in charge of secular affairs in the Dapushou Zen Academy, and quietly exchanged errands with the big shopkeeper of Tianxingguo Qiluo Pavilion, and came to pave the way for Zong Zhengke in advance.

This friendship really made Zong Zhengke feel inexplicable. After all, she felt that she hadn't done anything for Meiniang herself. However, now that she remembered more of what she had seen in her previous life as a wanderer, she finally remembered a crucial event.

Master Huiya did not die normally, but died in an assassination. In the previous life, the cause of Master Huiya's death was revealed to the world by the Supreme Trend of the Great Trend nearly ten years later, directly referring to a certain wealthy family in the Great Wei Empire.

At that time, the Supreme Being, who had completely grasped the supreme authority of the Buddha State, sent a note to the Emperor of Wei, demanding that Wei hand over the murderer, but the monarchs and ministers of Wei State blatantly rejected him. So, he asked for help from his worldly "close friend", the Great Qin Emperor, Ying Fusu.

Great Qin really sent the world-famous Futu Iron Cavalry to cooperate with the monks and nuns of the Buddha Kingdom to attack the Wei State. I don't know what happened later, the Jokhang Empire and the Dasheng Empire also sent strong troops to besiege Wei together. After five years of bloody war, the Great Wei Empire, which had been inherited for more than 800 years, was destroyed.

Zong Zhengke has often recalled his past life lately, and some things are becoming clearer, while others are still vague. For example, the murder of Master Huiya, she only woke up suddenly after a few months, and this matter may be related to Meiniang's reconciliation with her mother-in-law's family and her breakup with her mother's family.

As for Senior Brother Dashizhi, whether he knows the truth of this case now, Zong Zhengke does not know. But she can be sure that the reason why the general trend of the previous life revealed this case after so long was entirely because Great Qin at that time had the strong strength to conquer the world and expand its territory. The cause of Master Huiya's death is just an excuse - justified and reasonable.

What Zong Zhengke is worried about now is that since the murderer can attack Senior Sister Huiya, he is even more capable of assassinating Meiniang. Although Tianxing is a remote and small country, it is not difficult for the wealthy families of the Great Wei Empire to reach out here. On the contrary, it is the children of Mei Niang, who are not only under the protection of the Jokhang Empire, but also have the branch of the Da Pu Shou Monastery in the capital of the Jokhang Emperor to take care of them, which is much safer than Mei Niang.

Something must be done for Mei Niang! Zong Zhengke came to Qiluo Pavilion today, buying clothes and embroidery threads are only secondary, she wants to remind Meiniang to pay attention to safety. Mei Niang is not without relatives and friends in Wei State, maybe she can do some protection in advance, even if she gets some news.
