Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Chance Encounter

After wandering around several streets in Dongcheng for most of the day, and yesterday I went to the wharf outside the city to see all kinds of goods piled up or unloaded by merchant ships, Jinxiu had a rough understanding of the business industry in Chizhou City, and also saw a lot of business opportunities from it, but it was not easy to operate.

She is not alone, her every move is concerned, and if she explains something bad, she should not rush to do it.

Fang Erniu took everyone to the East Gate Market for a walk, this market is close to the city gate, the farmers and hawkers outside the city are convenient for business and trade, almost every day it becomes a market by itself, it is very lively and prosperous, the items are also rich and diverse, Jinxiu bought a lot of things, all of them are food: the live chickens and live ducks raised by the Zhuang households, the eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and a big river fish weighing more than ten catties, I don't know how people catch them. There are no fresh vegetables in this season, I saw someone pick the old lotus root to sell, I thought it was to use wet straw to hide in the cellar to keep it fresh, the skin was dry, Jinyu scraped the skin with his nails, but it was still smart, so he bought a few sections, and let Uncle Tian carry it to the carriage, and gave him some money to go to the vegetable market butcher shop to buy pig bones or pork ribs, and see if there was a freshly slaughtered mutton to buy a few catties.

The market was too crowded to stay for a long time, but when I was about to leave, I found two seed shops side by side, one selling seeds for grain, vegetables, melons and beans, and the other selling seeds for all kinds of flowers and plants for enjoyment.

The shopkeeper who sold flowers and plants boasted that many of his family's seeds had been brought by caravans from the Western Regions or the sea.

Fang Erniu persuaded: "He said that it is only for enjoyment and fun, and he can't eat it, so why spend so much money?" ”

Jinxiu said: "It's okay, our yard is wide enough, and a variety of flowers and plants can be pleasing to the eyes!" ”

The shopkeeper nodded and smiled: "It can be seen that this little lady really knows how to live a good life!" If it is said that the flowers and plants that grow out of this kind of seed are not edible, it is not entirely true, many flowers and plants can actually be eaten, and even used in medicine! It's just that it has to be done by a pharmacist who knows the goods! You just say that the jasmine and roses of the Western Regions here look elegant and charming, gorgeous and colorful. The petals can be picked to make candy and eaten! It can also be used to make tea, bathe and smoke...... In short, it has many benefits! ”

Fang Erniu didn't believe it, Jinxiu only smiled and pulled him away.

In addition to seeds from the north and south, there are also unusual species that come from the sea. And the boss clearly said that it was consigned by someone else, which was slightly more expensive than the price of ordinary grain seeds, and there was no guarantee that the seeds would be lived, so Jinxiu bought two small bags of seeds with ten taels of silver, and was questioned by Fang Erniu and Jinyu a few words. Fang Erniu felt that it was not worth spending money to buy these unsecured things, and Jinyu was more practical: he didn't have any fields in his own house, so where would he buy them and plant them?

Jinxiu had to bother to explain to them, and when Uncle Tian turned around and came to meet them, carried the bag away and put it in the carriage, then he didn't say anything more.

The four of them walked out of the seed shop and walked slowly along the street, waiting for Uncle Tian to drive the carriage around the market to pick up people from another street.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked around the corner of the street, the four people were "robbed".

There is no one else who can commit such a domineering act, and it is none other than Luo Zhen.

In fact, Luo Zhen's actions are not rude. Although he was cold, he at least politely led the way and invited people into the restaurant.

Jinxiu called it "robbery", because there were two men standing behind the four sisters and brothers, and the back road was blocked, if they didn't follow him, would they still let Fang Erniu be lifted away by them like catching chickens? Renfang Erniu is also a scholar and a scholar, and he has learned dignified etiquette, how can he be ruined again and again!

Jinxiu hated and said, "Luo Zhen, what do you mean?" Since he wants to be a worker, he has such an attitude towards the owner. Who dare to ask for you, you say? ”

Luo Zhen was silent and strode to the side of the stairs and stood sideways, waiting for the Jinxiu sisters to go upstairs, as if Jinxiu was not angry with him, and only lowered his eyes slightly to look at the girl who was complaining freely.

The bazaar was walked up for half a day. The little face is pink and bright, lined with the bright blue eyes, more and more beautiful and vivid, the thick black and shiny long hair that flashes like silk is only tied with pink ribbons, simple and refreshing, without wearing any jewelry, but enough to attract people's eyes. She grew up in the middle of nowhere. But she really doesn't look like an ignorant village girl, her skin is like condensed fat, her breath is like a quiet orchid, and her facial features are not amazing, but if you look at it more, you will be hidden...... This lotus lotus-colored moire plain brocade skirt is too close-fitting! It should be a little more relaxed, it is really inappropriate to wrap the delicate body so tightly and give people a look!

Luo Zhen subconsciously clenched his fist hidden in his wide sleeves, not thinking that he was meddling in the slightest.

Following Jinxiu to the second floor, Luo Zhen motioned to a handsome looking guard standing at the top of the stairs: "Take the three of them to Cuiwei and take care of them." ”

He pointed to the private room with the word "Baoshan" written on it, and said to Jinxiu: "You and I enter this room!" ”

Jinyu Jinyun refused to part with her sister, Fang Erniu was not at ease, and followed closely behind Jinxiu, Jinxiu glared at Luo Zhen and said, "It's here!" If you have something to say, just let it go! Sister Ben is busy, I don't need you to serve me today! ”

The private room did not cover the door, only a half-curtain embroidered satin cloth to block the view, the movement outside can be heard clearly, in the private room, Nangong Zhao is sitting at the pineapple round table drinking tea, hearing the words of Jinxiu, poofing a sip of hot tea.

Liu Fu, who was sitting on his right side, couldn't help but smile, shook his head slightly, wanted to get up and go out, but was stopped by a gesture from Nangong Zhao, Nangong Zhao pressed the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a joke: "It's rare to meet a girl who is not fascinated by his skin, and see how he copes!" ”

Liu Fu sat down again, only to hear Luo Zhen outside: "I originally planned to go to you later, but now that I happened to meet you, I will tell you about it...... There are still people inside, who were with me the night before, the little brother and the two little sisters are afraid of being uncomfortable with you, and go to the opposite compartment to drink tea and eat snacks, we can go back after we talk! ”

After a pause, Jinxiu asked, "By chance?" Tell me about the coincidence? I don't know if you are drinking tea upstairs, are you clairvoyant, your eyes can bend, how can you see me in the East Gate Market? ”

Luo Zhen: "......"

Nangong Zhao laughed softly: It's really funny, how can the little village girl be so shrewd!

Liu Fu sighed in his heart, secretly sympathizing with this girl who can chant beautiful poems, how could she provoke Luo Zhen, a evil god! She is not afraid of power, if she knew that she had been watched by Luo Zhen's people as early as the night of guessing the lantern riddle, and her every move was in the hands of others, she might not be angry!
