Chapter Ninety-Eight: Bargaining Partner

Zhuo Jin quickly drew the map, and Lu Li happily took it out to show Shangguan Yinling, who unfolded the map and looked at it carefully for a moment.

The map was already quite clear, but the road ahead was tortuous, and it was still on the grassland where it was difficult to discern the direction, so I am afraid that they still needed to ask more people along the way.

"My lord, Miss Zhuo Jin has tried her best to draw the picture in detail, and the rest is up to us."

Shangguan Yinling nodded slightly, looked at the simple market organized by the herdsmen in the distance, and couldn't help but understand.

"Let's go, it's rare to come to Northern Xinjiang, how can I not go to the local market in Northern Xinjiang,"

It is rare for so many herders to gather and live here, and it must be that after this area, it is not easy to meet so many people further north, so it is not impossible to take the opportunity to take a break.

"So, my lord, are we together?"

Shangguan Yinling nodded slightly, and the two of them walked through a grassland to the market.

Many of the stalls here are casually found to spread heavy leather or linen on the ground, put their own things on it, and then sell them at will, because they are people they know, and the prices are not expensive.

Xu Yun and the others went to buy food and other supplies, and the two of them casually looked at what was interesting.

The market was full of some traditional snacks or other gadgets in northern Xinjiang, and Lu Li was not very interested in eating, but stopped in front of a mask shop.

"Look, my lord, this mask is so strange."

"The girl is a foreigner, this is the Miao god of our northern Xinjiang, used to pray for good weather and no disasters."

The vendor selling the mask is an older grandfather, and the masks under him are all painted by himself, and on them are Miao Shen with a somewhat hideous face, but each mask is different, some have soft lines and some are cold, like the different styles of men and women.

"Grandpa, this mask doesn't seem to be the same."

"In the traditional impression of our northern Xinjiang, Miao gods generally appear in pairs, which also means the harmony and beauty between men and women, and many men will buy them for their favorite women, which is also a kind of love thing."

I see, it seems that the people of Northern Xinjiang are really different from them, and they actually use masks as a thing of love.

Lu Li squatted down and picked up a mask, put it on his face, and looked up at Shangguan Yinling with a smile.

"My lord, this mask looks good, can I buy one?"

"Yes." Shangguan Yinling nodded, took out a piece of broken silver from the money bag around his waist and handed it to the vendor.

"Childe, that's too much." The old man took the broken silver, turned out his money bag, looked at the bag of copper plates, and couldn't help but say, "It's rare for the son to come to the north of Xinjiang, if you also choose a mask, I won't find money for you." ”

"Yes, my lord, it's too boring for me to wear it alone, so I'll help you choose one." Lu Li squatted and picked among the masks in a row, and selected the most handsome one, and put it in front of Shangguan Yuling and compared, "My lord, this mask makes you more and more handsome, why don't you just take it?" ”

"Do you really want me to take it?" Shangguan Yuling didn't answer, only looked at her with lowered eyes.

"Take it, the old man agreed." Lu Li was puzzled, stuffed the mask into his hand, looked down at a rather ugly mask again, and couldn't help laughing, "This mask is suitable for Duan Lang, just like a little ghost." ”

"If the girl wants to bring it to a man she knows, I will give her one." The old man said, picked up the mask that Lu Li pointed at, and was about to hand it to Lu Li.

"No, we have to buy something else, I'm afraid we won't be able to get it." Shangguan Yuling frowned slightly, and held Lu Li's shoulder to push her away.

The old man smiled helplessly and put down his mask.

"My lord, how suitable that mask is for Duan Lang, we don't buy many things, I brought it." Lu Li said, and was about to turn around and go back to get the mask, but was pulled away by Shangguan Yinling.

"I suddenly remembered that my mother asked me to bring her the specialties of Northern Xinjiang before leaving, I'm afraid I will have to buy a lot, and the mask matter, it is better to let Duan Lang buy it himself."

Lu Li likes the mask in his hand quite a lot, and from time to time he has to play with it in front of him, and the people around him can't help but smile when they see the two people holding pairs of masks.

Walking to a stall selling hairpin ring jade bracelets, Shangguan Yinling couldn't help but stop, Lu Li stopped with him, and looked down at the stall.

The hairpin ring of northern Xinjiang likes to be decorated with blue, green, red, etc. is very gorgeous, and there are a lot of materials, and it is gorgeous and very national characteristics to wear on the head, although it is very delicate and good-looking, but in fact, it is not very practical for them outsiders.

Shangguan Yinling's gaze was on one of the more low-key hairpins, which was a very simple green gemstone inlaid in the middle, surrounded by golden carving technology, simple and atmospheric.

This kind of atmospheric hairpin can not only be used by women, but also used by men to tie their hair.

There is also a hairpin of the same style with a red gemstone next to it, and Lu Li also feels exquisite when he looks at it.

"My lord, do you like this hairpin?"

"Hmm." Shangguan drank Ling Yingsheng and picked up two red and green hairpins, "Boss, how much?" ”

"Ten taels of silver." may have seen a big customer, and he was a foreigner, and the boss who rarely had a business was also a lion's mouth, and Lu Li instantly exploded when he heard the price he quoted.

"Ten taels of silver?! Boss, have you eaten too much northwest wind these days, so it's a bit supportive? Do you want ten taels of silver for two hairpins? Are you pure gold? What is the color of the gemstones? Dare to ask for ten taels of silver, believe it or not, I will go to the government to report you? ”

Lu Li forked his waist and theorized with the boss, the boss thought that he was also frightened by her momentum, and he was surrounded by people he knew, so he didn't make it too ugly, so he had to let go.

"Okay, okay, five taels of silver!"

"Five taels of silver?!"

Lu Li still had to bargain, but Shangguan Yinling had already taken out the money bag and gave the boss five taels of silver, and the boss accepted the money with peace of mind, Shangguan Yinling couldn't help but say.

"Boss, since we don't bargain, why don't you give us these earrings."

Shangguan Yinling picked up a pair of simple and delicate earrings, and the boss could only sigh when he saw this.

"You little couple are really masters of bargaining, I accept it, you can take it."

"We're not ......" Lu Li was about to explain, but Shangguan Yuling pulled her away.

The two of them went to a nearby stall to eat a bowl of beef noodles, the beef here is thick, the noodles are also strong, much better than what they ate in Dujing, after eating, they walked around the neighborhood again before turning back.
