"The carriage was going too slowly, and it was a little uncomfortable." Concubine Ji spoke slowly.

"Then the subordinate let the carriage go faster?" It's just right that the carriage is not going fast or slow, and besides, why do you think the county lord's voice sounds a little hoarse? He Gu was puzzled, but he still asked.

"Okay." Concubine Ji replied.

He Gu pulled the reins back hard, and the carriage moved a little faster.

Concubine Ji remembered Murong Feng, who ignored her and didn't appear in the end, pulled herself to Murong Shang, who was punished by Old Lady Murong, Murong Qingqing, who was obviously a personal maidservant but didn't even ask about being sold, the inhuman torture she suffered day and night, and Qing Yu, who finally ended her life...... All of this is my own nightmare, and now, I have to face it again.

"Host, calm down!" The mechanical sound of the system sounded.

"I can't wait to slash my enemies!" Concubine Ji gritted her teeth.

"Listen, the system world is not against the host retaliating, but what you have to do now is to calm your emotions, your current grievance value is higher than the original owner's grievance value, and this world will collapse if you continue like this!" The system said sternly.

Do you have such a big grudge? Concubine Ji smiled bitterly, Qi Feiyin, who married Xiliang far away and had been lonely all her life, did not have a high resentment value in the punishment time for several months, so how miserable is herself, what is even more difficult to accept is that she avenges others and changes her fate, but no one avenges her for herself, who will calm her grievances? !

As if sensing Ji Feiyin's thoughts, the system spoke: "The host can retaliate under the principle of moderation, and the system will not have anything, just regard it as reducing the resentment value, but it must not hurt people's lives." ”

"Okay, I got it." Concubine Ji can't hurt her life because she closes her eyes, so how about repaying her life's reputation? Didn't it say that Murong Mansion raised a group of noble sons and daughters? Then let the world see what kind of ugly faces these people are!

Calming down her emotions, Concubine Ji cleared her throat.

"Uncle He, which Xiao Mansion you just talked about?"

"This", He Gu spoke: "Xiao Mansion is the other half of the court, the ancestors of Xiao Mansion helped the emperor fight the world, and later today's saint won the world, and the Xiao family also climbed all the way, the daughters of the Xiao family are all wise and intelligent, and the eldest son Xiao Di is a descendant of the Queen Mother's lineage, with noble blood, and a peerless good literary talent, and won the top spot at the Hundred Flowers Banquet the year before. ”

"The year before?" Concubine Ji was a little surprised.

"I'm afraid you don't know about the Hundred Flowers Banquet, right? The Hundred Flowers Banquet is held once a year, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is held once a year, mainly for the capital's noble sons and ladies to provide opportunities to show their talents, the general list is not limited to men and women, only the top three on the list are evaluated every year, only on talent, regardless of family background, extremely rare, so whether you are a powerful person in the capital of the court, a rich businessman or a gentleman, there is no real talent or the first stunt, not to mention the top three, it is difficult to be on the list, but the list is much easier, this list is divided into two lists of men and women, as long as you have talent, you can participate in the selection, That kid from the Xiao family won the first place on the overall list last year, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the top of the list.

”

"I see." Concubine Ji responded.

But wasn't the Hundred Flowers Banquet already held on the day he died? And at that time, Murong Qingqing had just won the top of the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the previous time, and the Hundred Flowers Banquet had not yet started on the day he died, and he didn't know who the top of the list was, could it be that the day Xiao Di won the top spot happened to be the day he died?

"How many people have won the top spot in this Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

He Gu thought that Concubine Ji was a little interested in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so he said: "The Hundred Flowers Banquet is held once a year, and there are many people who have won the rankings, but there are only three people who have won the top spot, one is the eldest prince who always won the top spot in previous years, the second is the sister-in-law of the Xiao family who has emerged in recent years, and the third is the eldest lady of Murong Mansion, who won it once the year before last, but there was some controversy that time. This year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is less than three months away, if the county lord is interested, his subordinates can take the county lord to dress up and take a look. ”

Sure enough, I guessed correctly, in this world, "Concubine Yin" has been dead for nearly a year, how ironic, how ridiculous?

"Okay, I have heard that the capital is lively, and I haven't seen a grand occasion for a long time." Concubine Ji was yearning in her tone.

He Gu pursed his lips lightly, and always felt that the county lord was returning to his childhood, but this is fine, it is clear that the county lord is a lively character, and he has been suppressed too hard over the years.

Concubine Ji felt the carriage slowly stop, followed by the sound of someone turning over and dismounting in the air.

"County Lord, it's here." He Gu lifted the curtain and said to Ji Feiyin.

"Okay, I'll get out of the car."

Concubine Ji lowered her head and stepped on the pony and got out of the carriage.

This is the town? Xu is the day of the market, the small street is not very spacious people come and go, the sound of vendors, the sound of women's conversation, the sound of children's laughter and play, endlessly, the air is fresh, lively, and full of fireworks, standing not far away, looking at such a lively scene, especially the innocent and carefree expression of young children, Concubine Ji feels that her mood has improved.

Looking at He Gu beside him again, there was actually a smile on his perennially indifferent face.

"Uncle He, are we going to go shopping?" Concubine Ji looked at the bustling crowd.

He Gu shook his head: "No, we have special supplies for food and clothing, I have already instructed the guards to get them, you can go shopping with me and see if there are any jewelry and clothes that need to be purchased." ”

Concubine Ji is silent, this day is really comfortable, sure enough, it is better to be a county lord with a noble status, I think she was a princess when she lived a very comfortable life, and the next time she does a task, she has to let the system choose a noble identity.

"So where do we go first?" Concubine Ji asked with a smile.

He Gu had a rare look of embarrassment on his face: "Well, I haven't visited the jewelry stores and clothing stores around here, I don't know which one is good, let's go shopping one by one in turn!" ”

Concubine Ji smiled because of "fluttering": "Okay." ”

He Gu scratched his head in embarrassment: "Then let's start with this one, there are many jewelry in this house." He Gu pointed to a shop next to him and said.

Concubine Ji glanced at the shop, and it didn't look special on the outside, but in such a small town, it was not bad to have a shop with gold and silver jewelry.

Concubine Ji walked into the shop with her feet raised, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted her enthusiastically when she saw someone walking in.

"Miss, the newly created red gold phoenix step shake in our store is very suitable for Miss's complexion, Miss try it?"

Concubine Ji looked at the silent care as soon as she entered the jewelry store, and sighed in her heart, it seemed that she still had to deal with it herself.

"I don't like gold jewelry, you can take some jade and take a look." Compared with heavy jewelry made of gold, Concubine Ji prefers warm jade.

"Okay, let's go get it, Miss Fu wait a moment." Seeing that Concubine Ji was full of the temperament of a young lady because of her gestures, the shopkeeper's heart was happy, and his intuition was that a big business was coming, so he hurriedly went to the counter to take out all the jade hairpins.

"Miss, all the jade hairpins and hostas in our store are here, they are all high-quality jade, exquisite carving, you can take a look." The shopkeeper's eyes were flattering.

In all kinds of boxes, there are jade hair ornaments of different shapes, I have to say, the craftsmanship of this shop is really good, the carving is meticulous and the details are well handled, the carved scenery or animals are lifelike, vivid, although the jade used is not a high-grade good jade, but it is also considered to be above the medium, it can also be understood, in such a remote place, really use the best jade, sell naturally more expensive, then buy fewer people.

"This jade is not the best jade." Ji Feiyin said.

"This ......" I didn't expect the young lady in front of me to be a knowledgeable person, as soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper noticed that the aura around the man with a knife behind the young lady became cold, and the cold sweat on the shopkeeper's face came out.

But she didn't expect Concubine Ji's voice to change: "Since this jade is not a high-grade jade, then those who want to finish the shopkeeper won't open their mouths, right?" As she spoke, Concubine Ji picked up a white jade peach hairpin and slowly played with it in her hand.

"It's nature!" Seeing that there were steps to go down, the shopkeeper hurriedly stretched out his hand and drew a number: "Only five taels, the price of these hairpins and hairpins is definitely not expensive, not counting the labor costs!" ”

Concubine Ji was stunned for a moment and smiled, she didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so sincere, five taels of silver, the shopkeeper didn't exaggerate, but I was afraid that it was just enough for the cost.

Concubine Ji inserted the white jade peach blossom hairpin in her hand into the bun: "Uncle He, how is this hairpin?" ”

He Gu nodded: "It's very suitable for you." ”

The shopkeeper obviously felt that as soon as the young lady in front of him spoke, the aura around the man with the knife behind her softened a lot.

Concubine Ji smiled: "The shopkeeper, I want this hairpin, wrap it up for me." ”

"Oh, yes." After doing business, although he didn't make any money, he also avoided the end of the hairpin, and the shopkeeper still had a smile on his face.

"Wait", He Gu stepped forward and pointed to a few hairpins casually: "This, this, and this are also wrapped together." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned: "Okay, I'll wrap it for you." "I feel very bitter in my heart, this is all sold at cost price, blood loss!

Concubine Ji was stunned for a moment because she looked at He Gu's behavior, and then her eyes swept over the few hairpins and hairpins that He Gu had ordered casually, and it happened that she had just looked at it twice, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart.

"Come, guest officer, this is all wrapped for you, can you take a look?" The shopkeeper handed over the wooden box with a smile on his face.

"Not necessarily." He Gu took out a silver ticket and took the wooden box.

The two went out of the jewelry store, and Concubine Ji opened her mouth with a smile.

"How did Uncle He know that Scarlet Yin wanted these hairpins?"

"Observing words and colors is the basic skill of being a guard, and you have only stayed on those hairpins longer than the others." He Gu replied as he walked.
