Chapter Seventy-Six: Buying a Home
Nearly two hours later, the uncle and nephew finally rushed to the outside of Waimenfang City. Along the way, Uncle Zhang gave a general introduction to the situation in the market and some time-honored shops. In addition, the market will be closed in more than an hour. Therefore, the two of them lowered their flying swords, and after entering the market, they did not take a closer look, but went straight to the topic.
They first went to the largest tile and stone shop in Fang City, the Stone Fang.
"The price of bricks and tiles here is a little bit higher than other similar shops, but the quality is the best. The specifications and types are also the most complete. Before entering the store, Uncle Zhang said.
Sure enough, the shop was full of dazzling, and there were more than a dozen three-story stone shelves in front of the wall, which were full of all kinds of tiles and stone tools.
Mu Wan was dazzled for a while. When she eased up, over there, Uncle Zhang had already explained to the shopkeeper the specifications, types and required quantities of tiles.
The guy who received them was a middle-aged man who had no cultivation. After listening carefully, he respectfully stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, bowed slightly and said, "Two immortal elders, the goods you want are here." ”
Bringing the two of them to the second shelf under the north wall, he pointed to the top row and said, "These tiles are all in stock in the store." If the two immortals want to choose the next two rows, the store does not have enough stock, so they can only make a reservation first, and there will be new goods two days later. ”
Uncle Zhang looked at Mu Wan.
Mu Wan raised her little face, pointed to the red tile in the center, and said, "Uncle Shi, the disciple likes this one. "It's too much trouble to book or something. The exterior of her house is a natural bark color, and the roof is covered with these red tiles. Next to the house are a bush of purple and red flowers...... Ah, it's beautiful to think about!
Uncle Zhang glanced at the red tile, and the corners of his eyes twitched. To be honest, he really didn't like this kind of bright color. Personally, he still prefers the traditional blue glazed tiles. However, this is Mu Wan's house, of course, you have to follow Mu Wan's opinion.
"As long as you like it."
Stone shops have always been clearly priced. The guy quickly quoted the total price: "Ten spirit stones." ”
After Mu Wan paid for the spirit stone, without waiting for him to ask for it, he took the initiative to hand over a blank storage bag: "Please pack it all here." "This is also the thousand-year-old shop rule in the stone shop - the shop never bargains, and there is no so-called partner; Please bring your own storage bags in advance.
And the reason why the stone workshop is so bullish. It can still stand here for thousands of years. According to Uncle Zhang, it is rumored that it is actually the property of Danxia Peak, the inner gate of Taiyi Sect.
Danxia Peak is a refining weapon. Whoever wants to refine a magic weapon in the sect, or repair a magic weapon, has to find Danxia Peak. Yes. It's too late for everyone to cheer. Who would dare to smash his field?
When Mu Wan heard this gossip, she couldn't help but ask: "Do the other peaks also have industries in Fang City?" ”
Uncle Zhang replied: "The sect explicitly prohibits the private property of each peak. Therefore, there are no in the open, and there are all in the secret. The nine peaks of the inner gate are all the same, and none of them can be exempt from vulgarity. This is already an open secret in the sect. ”
Mu Wan sighed in her heart: I thought that the people who cultivated the truth were dedicated to the pursuit of the Great Dao, and they were all out of the dust and vulgar. Unexpectedly, in the face of interests, monks and mortals are the same, and they are full of fireworks.
The man's speed was very fast, and after half an hour, he came out of the room with the storage bag in his hand: "Little Immortal, please count." ”
Mu Wan took it, opened the storage bag and glanced at it.
One is no less, and one is not more!
She nodded at Uncle Zhang: "That's right." ”
Immediately after, the two of them left the store and rushed to the next place, Tianxin Pavilion. It is recognized as the No. 1 business name in Donghuazhou, with at least 1,000 branches. It is said that Tianxin Pavilion was founded earlier than Taiyi Sect, and it has never opened branches in the second-rate or above sects or the Fang Market of the family. However, its branches are all over Donghuazhou, but no one knows who the owner behind it is.
There are many types of goods sold in Tianxin Pavilion. Where it is produced, it must be a high-quality product. And the price is fair, and Tong Su is not bullied.
Originally, it was just to buy a few ordinary pieces of furniture, and going to Tianxin Pavilion was like killing chickens with a knife. However, the things that Mu Wan wanted to add were very fragmentary, and the time was limited, and it was impossible to change them one by one, so there was no better choice than Tianxin Pavilion at the moment.
It's very convenient to buy things in Tianxin Pavilion, you just need to find a random guy and report the shopping list. Then, the guy will take you to a comfortable private room first, treat you to tea, and wait. Then, the guy will prepare the goods for you as quickly as possible. In case of out-of-stock, he will also give you some advice, such as choosing a substitute or making a reservation. If you have no objection to the goods, then the next step is to negotiate the price.
That's right, Tianxin Pavilion is a bargain!
In addition, if the amount of shopping meets the requirements, it will also give you a jade card, and in the future, you can enjoy a 95% discount on shopping at any of its branches with this jade card.
This time, Mu Wan had to buy basic furniture for the home, such as tables, chairs, beds, and lockers. After she finished speaking, the guy asked softly, "Is that all?" May I ask the little fairy chief, do you still need to add tea sets and cooking utensils? ”
Tea sets and the like, there are them in the space. However, now the space cannot be opened, and it cannot be used. Before, Mu Wan was in a hurry, why did she have any intention of drinking tea? However, now that I have settled in and have my own house, I also have to prepare some of these things.
Mu Wan nodded: "I want it." Please prepare a set for me. ”
As a result, the man's conversation box was wide open. He reported the names of a large number of tea sets and cooking utensils. There are everything from high to low, including high-end treasures and ordinary mundane utensils.
Mu Wan had a headache when she heard this, and hurriedly waved her hand to stop: "Please help me with some mundane utensils." However, the quality should be better. "What are you kidding, even drinking tea and kettle water have to use treasures, and my sister can't afford to cut ten bearded monks every day.
In this way, the goods she chooses are mundane.
There's no way, who called my sister's current family background! Someone was very helpless - after entering Tianxin Pavilion, she realized that she was actually quite poor. With all his net worth combined, he can't even afford a decent spirit sword. No wonder when I got the Blue Blade Sword. Uncle Zhang sighed at her good luck.
The guy nodded, his expression remained unchanged, and he still asked softly: "We have white jade, green jade, flower jade ...... in our store."
Mu Wan stopped him again and asked directly, "Is there any porcelain?" ”
"Some ......"
Before he spoke again, Mu Wan preemptively said: "Give me a set of white porcelain, just the porcelain mid-range." Pots and the like, don't do it for the time being. You pick a thick copper tripod for me, it doesn't need to be too big, just medium. ”
The man nodded: "Okay, please wait a moment for the two immortal elders." ”
Watch as he finally closes the box door. Left. Mu Wan couldn't help but spit out a breath of turbidity, and said secretly: What kind of sacredness is it that can cultivate such a powerful guy!
Inner door. Kendo Peak, Wuhua Ridge.
I just finished listening to Hao Yuntian's report. Qingyuan real people haven't had time to comment on one or two. A red sword aura flew in from outside the cave.
The voice of the first real person sounded: "Senior Sister Lu." Come and gather in the main hall. ”
Qingyuan Zhenren's face was frosty, he swept away the sword qi with a wave of his sleeves, and snorted lightly: "He is very well-informed." "It's not a year, it's not a festival. At this moment, why did the first senior brother suddenly remember to invite her to the main hall for a "gathering"? It's definitely not about drinking tea, chatting, and connecting feelings.
Hao Yuntian said on the matter: "Zhang Yichen and I accompanied the little junior sister to report, which was already very eye-catching. Then, the little junior sister chose such a treasure mountain, and then, I took out my sword and helped her cut off half of the mountain. I'm afraid that the outer gate has been spread by now. The first master has always been well-informed. He didn't want to know, and it was difficult. ”
When Qingyuan Zhenren heard this, his expression softened slightly, and he said, "Okay, I'll go and see what he has to say this time." ”
So, she walked out of the cave, sacrificed the cloud shuttle, and flew to the main hall of the Kendo Peak.
An Yuanpeng, the eldest disciple of the first real person, was already waiting beside the white Han jade steps in front of the main hall. Seeing her arrive, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, said "Uncle Lu", and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please: "Shizun is waiting for you inside." After a pause, he said again, "The Liuyun Zhenren of Xiaoyao Peak came to visit Shizun half an hour ago, and is now drinking tea with Shizun inside." ”
When Qingyuan Zhenren heard this, he paused slightly, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Hmm, Xiaopeng, you are becoming more and more clever, quite like your master's demeanor back then." ”
An Yuanpeng lowered his eyes and chuckled: "Uncle Lu has won the award." It was the master who asked me to stay here and wait for my uncle. ”
The implication is that those words just now were all relayed by his family master.
Qingyuan Zhenren sighed, said "I know", and walked up the stairs.
The sword boy at the door said loudly: "Wuhualing Qingyuan real person has arrived. ”
As soon as Qingyuan Zhenren crossed the foot-high vermilion lacquer threshold, the king's head seat, who was sitting on the main seat, greeted enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, Senior Sister Lu, come and taste this year's new tea." ”
Qingyuan Zhenren stepped forward, hugged his fists and saluted, and then sat down on his lower left head and thanked him.
At this time, a maid in gorgeous clothes with a high bun stepped forward to serve tea: "Real person, please use tea." "The voice is gentle and listening, like a warbler.
Qingyuan Zhenren raised his eyelids and glanced at it, his face was very raw, and he smiled: "Senior brother, this year, our peak has accepted a new maid?" ”
Wang Shouzuo laughed: "Senior Sister Lu, it's rare that you also have a time to look away." She is not the maid of our Kendo Peak, she is the tea maid of Senior Brother Liuyun. "Actually, among the three of them, the cultivation of the few Liuyun Zhenren is the lowest. However, he is an old Jin Dan for more than 300 years, and he is the descendant of Xiaoyao Peak, so he has been in charge of Xiaoyao Peak for a long time, and his status is second only to the first seat of Xiaoyao Peak. The king's first seat was also seen in the face of Xiaoyao Peak, so he politely called him "senior brother".
Qingyuan Zhenren seemed to have just seen Liuyun Zhenren sitting opposite her at this moment, and hugged his fists and called "Senior Brother Liuyun".
Liuyun Zhenren was not annoyed, his face was still as warm as jade, and he hugged his fists in return: "I brought some new green tea from the Hu family this autumn, Senior Sister Lu will taste it fresh." ”
At this time, if Qingyuan Zhenren still couldn't guess his intentions, he would have lived in vain for more than a hundred years. Yes, she picked up the blue and white bowl, and used the tea lid to pry the tea leaves in the bowl, but she just lowered her eyes and looked at it, but she didn't drink it, sighed, and thanked her politely: "Although the Hu family's green tea is good, however, I have never been used to drinking this kind of strong tea." I only drink the flower tea on my five flower ridges. As she spoke, she put down the tea bowl, raised her eyelids, looked at the real person Liuyun opposite, and said with a smile, "It turns out that Senior Brother Liuyun is also a tea lover." My Camellia Tea in Wuhualing also tastes a little bit good. Hurry up tomorrow, I'll teach someone to send you a pack. ”
Liuyun Zhenren smiled, brushed his beard and said, "Oh, Senior Sister Lu doesn't like the Hu family's green tea? Can Senior Sister Lu know? Our Hu and Lu families are world friends, and many elders of the Lu family love to drink our Hu family green tea. ”
Qingyuan Zhenren glanced at the king's head seat on the main seat, and also smiled: "I was brought into the Taiyi Sect Sword Dao Peak by my master when I was six years old. Over the years, I have rarely returned to the Lu family, and I know very little about the affairs of the clan. If Senior Brother Liuyun doesn't say it, I really don't know what kind of tea the elders in the clan usually drink. ”
Wang Shouzuo stroked his palms and smiled: "Senior Sister Lu, it's not good for you to be like this. In our Kendo Peak, no one knows the name of your camellia tea in Wuhua Ridge? Even I love to drink. But you can give me a little two taels at most every year. When you arrived at Senior Brother Liuyun, you gave it away as soon as you gave it a pack, which is too partial, right? Senior sister, senior brother, I feel very cold when I hear it. ”
When Qingyuan Zhenren heard this, Luo Pa covered his mouth, laughed "fluttering", and said angrily: "When did Senior Brother also suffer from tea addiction?" ”
Seeing that the topic was about to be diverted, Liuyun Zhenren relied on his old qualifications to decisively intercept the conversation between the two and said, "Senior Sister Lu, I heard that you have the intention to accept disciples?" To tell the truth, those messy people outside are no match for the children carefully cultivated in our family. Our Hu family just has a junior, who is clever and has good talents. Find a time, I'll bring it to my sister to see. If the junior sister can be eye-catching, our Hu Lu family has added another beautiful thing. ”
Qingyuan Zhenren was silent, just looked at the throne on the main seat with a smile. She accepted apprentices, naturally in the name of Kendo Peak, not in the identity of Miss Lu Family. It stands to reason that only the king's head is qualified to put a beak in this matter. Whoever is on that Loose Peak, please respect yourself!
The king's duty was to cough and ask, "Senior sister, do you really want to accept new apprentices?" ”
Qingyuan Zhenren gently brushed a strand of broken hair on his sideburns, sighed lazily, and said, "Senior brother, you should also see it." My eldest disciple is about to get married, and if I don't accept a little apprentice to pass the time, the disciple will be empty. ”
Wang Shouzuo nodded: "Well, it is true. Next year is the period for the sect to accept disciples, are you going to choose one or two of them at that time? ”
Qingyuan Zhenren sighed, and snorted with a bitter face: "Apprentice or something, it's troublesome." According to my temperament, it is enough to take one. However, the sect stipulates that during the Jindan period, each person must accept three or two personal disciples, so no matter how annoying it is, I have to accept disciples. But, I'm going to have enough of it. Senior Brother Qin brought back an interesting child from outside. I've already asked her to make an exception for next year's Inner Door Competition, and if she can make it to the top 50, I'll take her as an apprentice. After speaking, she turned her head to look at Liuyun Zhenren and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Liuyun, although my surname is Lu, I am also a disciple of Kendo Peak. The people of our Kendo Peak have always seen the truth on the sword when they do things. If Liuyun Zhenren is willing, I will also make an exception for your junior like that child, and ensure that he participates in next year's inner door competition. As long as he can make it to the top 50, I will take him as an apprentice. (To be continued......)
