Chen Qiaojiang's foot that was about to be removed stepped back again. He stared at Zhao Quan, "Let me ask you, which Zhao Mansion are you from?" ”

At this time, Qing Hao whispered something to Chen Qiaojiang.

Zhao Quan's frightened face turned green, and he instantly stammered, "Chen, Chen, Chen ......" There are many big families surnamed Chen, he shouldn't be so afraid. However, he knew the name Chen Qiaojiang. Chen Qiaojiang, the grandson of the prefect Chen, is deeply loved by Mrs. Chen, and is the master of the entire Chen Mansion. He knew he was in trouble. If this is not a beating, if the elders in the house get the letter, they will definitely send him back.

Chen Qiaojiang was satisfied, "Stupid, remember, this young master's name is Chen Qiaojiang." If you dare to do evil on the street, this young master will definitely knock out your mouthful of teeth. ”

Zhao Quan grinned and hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, Zhao Quan, my name is Zhao Quan." ”

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Chen Qiaojiang stepped harder, "Is it dumb?" ”

Zhao Quan was annoyed and ashamed, he never thought that he would be beaten on the street, and the person who beat him was still younger than himself. He was annoyed, but he also knew that he didn't have any ability to resist at the moment. In addition, there was no place in his body that was not painful, and he almost cried on the spot.

Chen Qiaojiang stepped on the chest of Zhao Quan, who was unbearable, and straightened the hat on his head, "Your subordinates are defeated, report your name." ”

When Luo San's escort Luo San arrived, the fight had already come to an end.

The men who were watching the excitement listened to it, and their faces were black. The little fist is so round, and the foot is merciless, and the middle also gives a boy who is a head taller than himself an over-the-shoulder fall, which is also called cute? Is there any heavenly reason?

On the other hand, Chen Qiaojiang, Qingyang, Qinghao, and Luo Xiaorong, although some of their clothes were messy, the corners of their clothes were stained with dust, and the hats on their heads were a little crooked, but they did not show the slightest wolf bèi. Moreover, each of them blushed so blushingly that some of the women and girls who were watching the bustle looked straight in the eye. Especially the youngest Luo Xiaorong, who was so cute that he was a girl army, and some people couldn't help but shout, "This kid is so cute!" ”

Zhao Quan and Zhu Zhisheng's wolf bèi can be imagined.

Zhao Quan and Zhu Zhisheng bully people outside and never do it themselves. Moreover, they are accustomed to being pampered, and they never practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, so they have no combat effectiveness at all. Today is also considered unlucky for them, they met Chen Qiaojiang and Qingyang, who love to fight and do it themselves, or growing boys who insist on practicing martial arts on weekdays and are energetic.

For the Gu family, Zhao and Zhu's family members are really not enough. Steward Ding led people to crack and beat up, and it didn't take long to beat Zhao and Zhu's family members honestly.

The gaze returns to the center of the event.

There was also an old Taoist priest, sitting on a horse, and behind him stood two young men wearing ordinary Taoist robes. The Taoist hat on the old Taoist priest's head was a little low, his face was full of folds, his beard was gray, and he looked very old. Interestingly, the old Taoist priest's eyelids drooped, facing the direction of Qingyang, who was fighting, and he didn't know whether he was watching the excitement or closing his eyes to recuperate. But if he is saying that he is closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, this is the wrong place to close his eyes and recuperate! If he said that he was watching the excitement, it would be too strange for the old Taoist priest who was outside the square to join in this excitement!

There was a young man in his twenties wearing a dark red shop robe, a shop hat, shoes for the shop head, and a shop head with a knife on his waist. This man has a square face, and his eyes are not big or small under the sword eyebrows, if you can ignore the unruly color in his eyes, everyone must think that this is a good young man with integrity. It's a pity that the bit uninhibited in his eyes, coupled with his posture of squatting on the simple table on the stall next to him, touching his chin and obviously looking at the lively appearance, really can't match the upright and good young man.

Of course, there are also those that are lively to see up close. There are the three costumed sons mentioned earlier.

Twenty or thirty meters away, there were countless onlookers, including those who set up stalls, those who had been cheered out by Zhao Zhu's minions before, and men, women, and children who were hanging out nearby.

Zhao and Zhu provoked first, and then made their own moves, but they were beaten by the provocateurs. This is a rare occurrence.

Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong were in a group, flying with fists and feet, beating Zhu Zhisheng to the head. Zhu Zhisheng screamed in pain, shouting that he had killed. Qingyang swept his legs and swept Zhu Zhisheng to the ground. Luo Xiaorong pouted, not giving Zhu Zhisheng a chance to get up, so he pounced on it and picked up his small fist and beat it.

Chen Qiaojiang and Qing Hao were in a group, pestering Zhao Quan and beating him. Zhao Quan had no power to parry and wanted to escape, but was kicked back by the eagle guard who occupied the northeast corner. Chen Qiaojiang and Qing Hao waved their fists and continued to greet Zhao Quan.

On the periphery, Steward Ding and Steward Chen took the family members of their respective mansions and were responsible for cleaning up Zhao and Zhu's minions.

Guard Du stood there like an ice sculpture, holding his sword. Together with Chen Qiaojiang's bodyguard Chen Hu, Luo Xiaorong's guard, and an eagle guard, the four of them stood in a square, each occupying a corner, watching the four little masters beat people in the middle. Scholars Chen Xiangzi, Guan Mutou, Chu Yi and Mozi (Luo Xiaorong's scholars), little adults stood in a row with their chests crossed, their eyes fixed on their respective masters, and they pounced on the savior if something was wrong.

It is worthy of begging for a living in a place where the powerful gather. Nearby stall owners quickly gathered away their belongings and retreated to a safe distance to watch the situation unfold. The owner of the grilled fish stall also intended to take refuge, but he didn't dare to make any move in the cold gaze of the Shangdu guard, so he could only stay where he was.

At the same time, there was a mess in the back.

The young lady moved, and the maid naturally had to follow. Fu Huan casually clicked on the two men nearby, signaled to follow, and then quickly caught up with Qing Shu.

Qing Shu pressed the back of Chen Lan's hand, "Don't worry, there are stewards and guards here, and they can't afford to lose." "It's time to let my brothers fight.

Chen Lan didn't understand Qing Shu's actions, and she couldn't rest assured that Chen Qiaojiang and them were relieved, so she opened her mouth to speak.

Qing Shu originally wanted to stop Chen Qiaojiang, but the purple-robed young man's eyes were disgusting. She looked at Chen Lan and saw that Chen Lan's pretty face was flushed, so she guessed that Chen Lan had also noticed the evil eyes of the purple-robed young man. So, she glanced at Fu Huan, pulled Chen Lan and left.

Chen Qiaojiang glared at him, and he didn't allow the manager to do bad things.

The steward stepped aside and wiped his sweat, "Young master, don't, young master, don't." ”

Chen Qiaojiang is eager to try the matter of fighting, where is it allowed to manage the good things that bad him. Therefore, he raised his foot and kicked the steward in front of him, "Flash aside, the young master's hands are itchy and tight, and he must teach a lesson today." ”

Seeing that it was not good, the steward sent by the Chen Mansion stepped forward and blocked the little master Chen Qiaojiang, wanting to show the identity of the little master. He didn't come out to speak before, because the master didn't speak, and he didn't dare to make a move.

Zhao Quan thought that he had brought a lot of people, and his eyes turned on Qing Shu and Chen Lan, especially at the chests of the two of them. After that, he gave Zhu Zhisheng a look with bad intentions.

Zhu Zhisheng, who stepped forward to stir up trouble, and the minions behind him were dumbfounded. However, Zhu Zhisheng thought that the other party was a boy younger than himself, especially Luo Xiaorong and Qing Hao, who were beautiful and fair-faced, were obviously easy to bully, so they only thought they were deliberately bluffing. So, at a young age, his face turned hideous, "Boy, uncle sees that you are tired of living." ”

If it weren't for the image problem, Qingshu would definitely roll his eyes in public.

Qingyang, Qinghao and Luo Xiaorong looked at their sister and shouted in unison, "Okay." "If my sister is against it, they won't dare to fight. My sister didn't stop it, and the fight was settled.

Hearing his cousin's announcement, Chen Lan, who was pulled by Qingshu on the side, almost fell.

Chen Qiaojiang's eyes lit up, "Brothers, did you hear it?" Someone came to the door to fight us, ready to fight. "The four of them followed the guards to practice wrestling, and they were only cleaned up by the guards on weekdays, and they never got the slightest bargain in the hands of the guards. Today, there is a rare opportunity to clean up others, how can he miss it!

At this time, one of the two teenagers, Zhao Quan, who was wearing a dark purple robe, said in a strange manner, "Zhu Zhisheng, what nonsense do you talk to him, just fight." ”

"Boy, do you know who the uncle is? Dare to make a noise with the uncle, it's just looking for a fight. The young man in the azure robe said loudly with raised eyebrows.

Chen Qiaojiang is not Qingyang. Although his little overlord temperament has been restrained this year, he feels that Jinyang City is his territory. His brother was a man of shouting on his turf, and he would not allow that to happen. I saw him turn around and stand still, look each other up and down a few times, and raise his chin, "Fool who doesn't have long eyes, apologize quickly, and then get out." Otherwise, you will have good fruit to eat! ”

Qingyang turned his face, glanced at the group of people who were looking for faults, turned his face back, and ignored it.

The master began to find faults, and the family members and little foxes who followed shouted "Get out", "Didn't you hear the young master's question", "Report your name" and so on.

"Hey, which house are you from? Get out of the way, don't get in the way of the uncle. The young man in the azure robe raised his eyebrows, and shouted at Qingyang with a gloomy face. The three young men in front of the stall next to them, two of whom have elders in their families who are well-known figures in Jinyang City. Zhao Quan, who was covering him, didn't dare to provoke, and he naturally didn't dare to provoke either. And Chen Qiaojiang and his entourage, who were born in the eyes, were listed on the list of bullies by him and Zhao Quan.

Seeing this situation, the stall owner thought that these little boys must be not small, so he made up his mind. In order to show his good craftsmanship, he turned the fish pieces more carefully.

Chen Jiangqiao and Luo Xiaorong shouted "I'll go too", and rushed to Qinghao's side with Qingyang. The four boys got together, and it was quiet. While they were laughing, from time to time you and I urged the stall owner to hurry up and cook the fish.

Qing Shu received Qing Hao's gaze, and said to Qing Yang with a smile, "Go over and see, is the grilled fish that Xiao Hao is waiting for ready." ”

Listening to Du Huwei's words, the uneasy look on Qing Hao's face immediately dissipated, and he quickly looked at his sister in front of the stall next to him.

Escort Du was also in front of the grilled fish stall and was guarding Qinghao's side. When the shouts started, he was unmoved, but said to Qing Hao, who was uneasy on the other side, "Young Master Hao, the fish is almost ready, don't worry." He was not only appeasing Qing Hao with these words, but also telling the stall owner with a worried face to continue grilling your fish.

Many people in the vicinity have avoided it. Only Qing Shu and his party, as well as the three young men in brocade clothes who had just walked to the stall next to the grilled fish stall and stopped, did not move.

They were bustling here, and there were shouts and cheers from far and near. Qing Shu and the others followed the sound and looked over, only to see two thirteen or fourteen-year-old young men in Chinese clothes swaggering towards this side. And the two young men in Chinese costumes were shouting and shouting in front of them to open the way, and there were also family foxes scolding the slow people who were hiding in the back.

Qing Hao, who was waiting for the grilled fish, was anxious and urged the stall owner to grill the fish quickly.

Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong hurriedly came over with an oiled paper bag, held it up in front of Qingshu and said in unison, "Sister, try the fried cake, it just came out of the pot." ”

Qing Shu laughed and scolded, "Sycophant." ”

Chen Qiaojiang motioned to the little maid to give money, and said angrily, "Naturally, it's not the sisters in the house." Then he said proudly, "When it comes to the craftsmanship of making food, my sister says second, and no one dares to say first." "This sister naturally refers to Qingshu.

Chen Lan was puzzled, "Which sister are you referring to?" ”

Chen Qiaojiang shook his head, "The taste of the chef in the house is not right, it is not as delicious as this." With that, he picked up the second kebab and ate it, then shook his head and said, "It's better than nothing, and it's better than nothing." To put it bluntly, the taste is far worse than what my sister made. ”

Chen Lan is a typical lady who has not eaten roadside snacks since she was ten years old. After she walked over, she smiled and said to Chen Qiaojiang, "Look at your gluttony!" If you want to eat, you can go home and tell the kitchen to make it. If it's a cold day, I'm not afraid of freezing! ”

In front of the stall next to him, Qing Hao held a copper plate in his hand, staring at the fish pieces being grilled on the charcoal fire, and thinking about how many to give to his sister to eat.

On the side, Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong stared at the fried cakes churning in the hot oil pot, and did not forget to shout "Sister, come soon".

Soon, while Chen Qiaojiang was eating a kebab, he waved to Qing Shu and Chen Lan, who had fallen behind two steps and one stop, and three steps and one meal, signaling them to come over quickly.

Of course, she wouldn't tell Chen Lan about this inner thing. She and Chen Lan talked softly, walked forward, and soon crossed the stall of Ji Xiangzhuang. After walking through four or five more stalls, everyone walked to the snack stall area. Steaming, boiling, frying, grilling, frying, the fragrance of all kinds of roadside snacks is overflowing, and many people's steps are retained, especially children.

She knew in her heart that the main purpose of the shopkeeper Pan to toss the two Luo brocades was not to sell them at a high price, but to take the opportunity to further promote the reputation of Jixiangzhuang and attract more rich and noble customers. Zhou Boyan asked the caravan to bring a lot of Luo Jin, and she made five or six pieces of clothes for each of her family members, so she was naturally willing to take them out to support her business. Therefore, she said yesterday that she would fully support Shopkeeper Pan and send three more Luo Jin over in two days.

Jixiangzhuang started with schoolbags and juanhua, and then slowly increased the trading of silk, cloth, embroidery, etc. For Jinyang City, she is a foreigner, although the shop is covered by Chen's house, but the competition in the industry is fierce. The trend of schoolbags and juanhua has faded, and the operation of the shop has encountered certain difficulties. The situation improved little by little, and then hired the shopkeeper Pan, and the business developed steadily. However, it still can't compete with the time-honored shops in the city.

Qing Shu smiled kindly, without the slightest intention of embarrassing cherries.

Cherry grinned obediently, "The master taught me a lesson." Then Xiang Qingshu bowed to the guilty and took a few steps back.

When Chen Lan heard this, she immediately scolded lightly, "Shut up, our sisters are talking, where can you interject." There was no hint of anger in his tone.

Chen Lan's personal big maid cherry interjected from the side, "A few young ladies who were guests in the mansion yesterday heard that Miss Gu gave two Luo Jin to the old lady, and she was not less angry with the young lady while envious. Hee-hee...... In the end, I asked Miss to introduce her, saying that I wanted to be closer to Miss Gu! She not only praised her own young lady but also praised Qingshu, and also pushed it out at the right time, so that the intimacy between her young lady and Qingshu deepened.

Chen Lan smiled even more happily, "What my sister said is not an exaggeration at all, that's Luo Jin!" Fortunately, my sister doesn't have to rob anyone, and she can go to her grandmother and ask for it when she wants. ”

Qing Shu shook his head, "Where can it be so exaggerated?" ”

Chen Lan covered her mouth with her sleeve and laughed out loud, "Sure enough, there was a surprise." Two Luo Jin, the young lady in the city is afraid that she is going to rob her face. ”

Qing Shu smiled lightly, "Shopkeeper Pan is the best at fooling people, and after getting two Luo Jin, he began to toss away." ”

Chen Lan on the side looked at the cloth and other things placed on the stall with a curious expression, and his eyes turned to Qing Shu's face, "Sister Shu, I don't know what surprise Jixiangzhuang has prepared today?" She knows that Jixiangzhuang is Qingshu's industry.

Qing Shu became more and more sure of Shopkeeper Pan's ability, and pondered about Shopkeeper Pan's request for her.

Qing Shu raised his eyebrows, there are a lot of tricks in the shopkeeper of Xindao Pan, not only there are promotional means of gift purchases, but also attractive ancient version of advertising. At the beginning, she would hire the shopkeeper Pan, firstly, because she took a fancy to the character of the shopkeeper Pan, and secondly, she took a fancy to the shopkeeper Pan, who was good at doing business. It has been seven months since Jixiangzhuang was handed over to the shopkeeper Pan, and the business in the shop has been good, and the profits are considerable. In the matter of managing the personnel in the shop, the shopkeeper Pan also has his own set of familiar experiences.

“…… Ay! If you pass by, please take a look, here is the stall of Jixiangzhuang. Those who buy the cloth, embroidery and other items sold at the stall will receive a unique silk flower worth one penny. Anyone who buys an item sold on the stall will receive a pair of exquisite juanhua flowers worth three yuan. If you need to buy fine brocades, silks and other items, please go to the auspicious village located in the eastern section of Shenglong Street, there will be surprises waiting for your guests today. Ay! If you pass by, please take a look, here is the stall of Jixiangzhuang. Anyone who buys the cloth, embroidery and other items sold at the stall will receive a unique silk flower worth one penny......"

It was a square-faced boy, but he looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old. He followed two middle-aged women guarding the cloth and embroidery stalls, shouting loudly.

As he approached a stall, Qing Shu heard a shout from a young man. She couldn't help but look over curiously.

Horses and vehicles are not allowed here, and you must walk on foot. Qing Shu and Chen Lan walked together surrounded by maids. The four boys, Chen Qiaojiang and Qingyang, walked ahead with great interest, and the scholar and the guards followed closely from the left and right.

The day and night markets on Sheng Lung Street are different from the markets inside the city gates. Half of the bazaars are small traders and half of the peddlers, as are farmers who sell their own scraps or crops. The stalls in the day and night markets are surrounded by small and medium-sized shops and small traders, and there is no place for peasants to intervene. Moreover, the government has strict management of the day and night markets of each New Year's Festival. The stalls on both sides of the street are orderly, the hygiene is very good, and there are catchers who come out to patrol from time to time, which is also reassuring in terms of safety. Most of the petty thieves dare not come here to commit crimes.

In fact, the New Year's goods in the ancient mansion have been almost purchased. Therefore, Qingshu took Qingyang and they only went to Mobaozhai (a shop that sells calligraphy, painting and the four treasures of the study) and Fuguilou (a teahouse, where there are storytellers telling stories), two big shops, bought some paper and ink in Mobaozhai, and listened to books in Fuguilou for half an hour. After that, everyone went directly to the daytime market, which was open during the day.

The year is getting closer and closer, and since the twenty-first day of the lunar month, the day and night markets have begun. Today is the first day of the opening of the market, that is, the twenty-first day of the lunar month. Qingyang will beg their sister to take them to Jinyang City, just to come to the two markets day and night to play.

In order not to interfere with the normal business of the various shops on Shenglong Street, the location of the two markets during the day and night was divided into a mile-long street from the end of Shenglong Street to about 600 meters from the North City Gate.

Shenglong Street, on both sides of the restaurant, all kinds of shops. This is the most prosperous street in Jinyang City. There is also the famous day and night market where all kinds of small traders and vendors gather during the New Year's Festival. As the name suggests, the daytime market is open from midnight to early evening, and the night market is open from early evening to early midnight.
