Chapter 4 Jade Lotus City

Jade Lotus City

City lord Li Hongzhi, originally a small village official, was almost killed because of exposing the corruption of his superiors' style, but fortunately his own martial arts are good.

I heard that in the past few months, there have been more and more bandits outside, and there has been chaos everywhere on the mainland. This Jade Lotus City is well managed, at least there are very few people who steal and rob from other places, and occasionally I see officers and soldiers patrolling, and the people are still safe, but the food is getting more and more tight, when the city lord In order to prevent premature chaos, he made a large ice cellar for storing food, and the meat was processed into bacon meat, and some vegetables could also be pickled, such as pickles, and others could be stored for a long time. It's not that Jade Lotus City is richer than Wood Imperial City, it mainly depends on the ability of the manager. It seems that Uncle Li Wei is indeed a useful talent. Know how to prevent it before it happens.

Ye Xiaomu and the others came to a Qingfeng Inn and found a place at the door to sit down.

"I can finally have a good meal, I'm going to suffocate to death. Xiao Er, bring me two roast ducks, one braised fish, two signature side dishes, and a pot of tea. Ye Xiaomu patted the money bag on his waist and said, and the people eating green vegetables and noodles at the side table all looked over.

"Li Wei, how do these people look weird."

"It's not their fault."

"Huh??"

"Look at you dressed in linen, like someone who can afford to eat roast duck? Most of the people who can eat meat in this wooden country now are people with status. Look over there~" Li Wei pointed to Xiao Er, who had just ordered, and the other party was whispering to the shopkeeper.

"What's the problem?"

"Questions?? People are afraid that you and I have eaten the overlord meal, and they are afraid that the two of us will go alone, so discuss whether to serve the food or not. In the middle of the year, many people who slapped their butts and walked away after eating like this ended up ~~~ Hehe. ”

"I finally have money in my pocket, I have to take care of my stomach. I've been getting a little bit of a pain lately. ”

"Don't show your money, don't be too public." Li Wei whispered.

"I'm just having a meal? Is there really anyone who is coming to rob it? After saying that, he looked around.

The shopkeeper discussed it with the shopkeeper, and then went to the kitchen to order, the customer is the ancestor~ If you can make money, you still have to earn it, and I thought: Look at the woman's good looks, just sell it if you don't have money. After a while, I came up with two plates of roast duck and braised fish, two plates of signature vegetable fish with shredded pork and chopped pepper fish head.

Ye Xiaomu ate most of the roast duck in three times and divided by five, which really looked like a hungry person who had no food for three or four days, and Li Wei also rarely had a good meal, so the two of them were relieved and ate all the food on the table in a few clicks. After eating, Ye Xiaomu also burped heavily. The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were dumbfounded. Marvel~~~ This girl can really eat, I'm afraid I've been hungry for too long.

The shopkeeper asked nervously, "What does the girl think of the food?" ”

"Yes, yes, how much is this meal? How much does a room cost per night? ”

"One tael of meals, three taels of silver for ordinary rooms, and ten taels for private rooms." Hearing that there was money to collect, Xiao Er's eyes lit up.

"Here, this is twenty-one taels, by the way, help me prepare two private rooms."

"Okay, guest wait."

"Sister Ye, why do you still want to book a room? It's not far from my uncle's house. Isn't it a waste to have a private room? Li Wei asked puzzled.

"Fool, isn't it too contemptible to stay at your uncle's house as soon as you come? Besides, the spiritual power has not been measured yet. If I'm not a wood spirit, will it be difficult for someone to be driven out? Ye Xiaomu whispered.

"Why, my uncle is so good, every time I go to him, he takes care of me and buys me a lot of things. Except that my aunt's face is a little ~~. ”

"It's natural to be poor. It's okay half a time, but it's uncomfortable if it's too much. Anyway, the rich man gave a thousand taels last time, but fortunately, some of them were replaced by broken silver. This money is enough for us to use for a long time, if I am not the reincarnation of Mu Lingzun, it will be a big deal to start a small business by myself at that time, and I will find a way to go home. ”

"Speaking of which, that son is really generous, looking at the clothes, which family is the child, I don't know if I will meet it~" Ye Xiaomu sighed.

After a while, Xiao Er took the room number plate to Ye Xiaomu.

"Girl, you need to go up to the guest room to rest now, or go out for a walk first, you don't look like locals, our Jade Lotus City is a famous lotus town. After leaving the entrance of our store, turn right and go straight, and then turn a short distance and you can see a large lotus pond. The scenery is beautiful, and people from many places come here to be lively. Now is the season of lotus flowers, and the two of them can't help but take a look. ”

"It's strange, doesn't it mean that in many places in the wood country now, flowers and plants grow very slowly? Xiao Er, are you serious? ”

"The guest officer doesn't know, the fairy leaf pavilion next to this lotus pond was originally the place where Muzun lived in the past dynasties, although Lord Muzun has left, but the aura contained there is still there, unlike other places, in the past, this place was not allowed to enter and was sealed, and it was only in the past few months that the city lord opened up to attract foreign guests to come and consume, so as to slow down the livelihood of Yuhe City."

"I see, I'll just say, in the mountain village, there are obviously no fresh plants and trees around, and the closer you are to Yuhe City, the more lush the trees will grow." Ye Xiaomu didn't know that in the place where she rescued people before, the trees and grass had grown wildly.

"Sister Ye, we still have important things to do, now is not the time to wander around, right?"

"It's still daylight, and your uncle, as the city lord, should be busy with a lot of things, so it's not too late to wait until the evening to find him. What we have to do now is to buy some new clothes, the so-called people rely on clothes, don't let people look down on them! ”

"What Sister Ye said is very true, then let's go."

Although this era does not appear in the history books, some ancient gadgets are quite similar, such as some children's toys, rattles, and some puppet masks. There are also more people selling vegetables and fruits than in the countryside, but they look a little small, as if they are malnourished. There are quite a few people who buy it. I finally found a store that sells clothes.

"Welcome, hello, what clothes do you need to order?" A handsome little girl of eleven or twelve-year-old asked hospitablely.

"We want to buy two men's outfits."

"Men's clothing?" The little girl asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's more comfortable for the troublesome girl to help me find some ingredients."

"Wait a minute"

"Xiaoli, our Licuifang is a famous brand store in the city, not all customers are recruited in, and the coarse fabric on them is not a rich person, just find two old clothes stacked outside and give them a lot, one or two pieces of silver is a lot." The chubby proprietress sitting at the cash register said to the little girl.

"A tael of silver? I said boss, you're a rusher! ”

"A normal clothing store is only sixty or seventy yuan, and it is still a high-quality fabric, and the pile at your door is at most twenty or thirty yuan."

"Cut, I have to make an appointment for the upper-class ladies in the city, buy it if you have money, and get out if you don't have money. Don't get in the way of my business, you can't afford it. The proprietress glanced at the two of them contemptuously and said.

"Auntie, you~~~." The little girl wanted to speak and stopped.

"Li Wei, let's go, there are nothing to look at here." After Ye Xiaomu finished speaking, he walked to another cloth spinning house opposite.

"This boss lady speaks so ugly, why don't you let me scold me back?" Li Wei said angrily.

"The dog bites you, you don't have to squat down, bite it back, the best way is ~~ slap your face!"

This cloth cloth and textile door plate is made to be average, without the fancy and gorgeous opposite. But the clothes inside are still good, the price of the store is quite authentic, and the attitude is good. The two changed their clothes, and in addition, asked the store to send a few more sets of selected back to the inn.

The proprietress of Licuifang looked at the two people in the opposite store and bought a lot of clothes, and she regretted it in her heart~ her face was red and blue.

Ye Xiaomu wore a turquoise men's dress with a black ribbon on his head. I also bought a fan with a lotus pattern. The skin is as white as snow. The whole looks like a handsome son, a son of a nobleman, and the original appearance is like two people.

Li Wei wore a navy blue dress, also with a black belt on his head, handsome, and his slightly tanned skin set off a sense of maturity for the 14-year-old boy. But it doesn't diminish his charm.

These two "teenagers" walked on the street, and the eyes around them were staring, and many girls looked up shyly. Some are quietly following. I'm afraid I want to know which young man this is. When the two of them found that they looked back, they stopped and pretended to buy something.

Ye Xiaomu thought helplessly: This situation is very similar, I used to chase stars. Although there are many people who like themselves when they go to school before. I really can't imagine that ancient and modern people are Yan Kong!

Following the route introduced by Xiao Er, the two saw a slightly larger lotus pond at a glance at the turn. The lotus flowers are blooming very brightly, and there are already many young men and women standing in the lotus pond. There are also a few small pavilions on the pond to enjoy the shade. However, there is no sign of a remote pavilion on the far right. Ye Xiaomu doesn't like to be noisy. Tell Li Wei to go to the pavilion over there.

The more Ye Xiaomu walked forward, the more relaxed his body felt, and he felt some breath entering his body, and the fatigue of his body had decreased a lot in the past few days.

The breeze rustled the willow trees by the lotus pond, but it didn't seem too noisy. The fragrance of lotus flowers in the lotus pond wafts into the air, which makes people smell it pleasant.

"It's a nice place, and I haven't seen such a beautiful scenery in a long time." Ye Xiaomu sighed as he walked towards the bridge.

Hearing no response, Ye Xiaomu looked behind him and saw Li Wei, who was still at the corner, chatting with an uncle dressed as a subordinate.

Ye Xiaomu waited until he reached the middle of the bridge to see someone in the pavilion, there were three men in the pavilion, and two men in brown clothes with swords around their waists were standing on either side. The person in the middle was wearing a blue rhombic brocade robe, a light blue dragon belt tied around his waist, black and shiny hair, and a pair of melancholy eyes. Tall, he really looks like Pan An, leisurely, and his face is slightly red. The man sits with a painting in one hand and a drink in the other. Looking at the empty bottle on the table, I must have drunk a lot. I don't know if I stood at a distance or if I had seen this person before, and I had a sense of déjà vu.

Mo Chen, who was slightly drunk, stared at the picture of the girl on the scroll, the background of the girl on the picture was the same as where Ye Xiaomu was standing now, and her face was a little similar, but the woman in the painting was dressed as a girl.
