The three of them entered the East City from the northwest gate. The stone road in front of you is one of the main roads in the east market, called "Lanxi Street". It is about ten zhang wide, and you can't see the end, you can only see that there is a long street in the middle section, and the longitudinal road and crossroads are parallel to each other, so it spreads out in a network shape. In the meantime, there are canals, banqiao pavilions, and various flowers and trees as road scenes. On both sides of the street, there are many shops and wine shops, one next to the other, all of them hang huge plaques, and some even hang vermilion flags or a long string of oil-paper lanterns on the flying eaves corners, cheering for the victory of this invisible war. Along the way, the car is like a flowing water. Pedestrians look around, and the sound of bargaining, the shouts of businessmen, and the galloping sound of carriages and horses weave a boiling spring song, which whirls and floats in the aroma of mellow wine and sweet rice, and goes straight to the clouds.

Xiao Ningzi said proudly: "The East Market can bring together commercial goods from the north and south of Yuguo, and the variety is the most. There are also many treasures from other countries. What you want to buy, you can always be satisfied when you come to Dongshi, so it is called 'Ruyi City'. In addition to the basic necessities such as fish, meat, clothing, and silk, Yingxian also saw silk shops, pen shops, medicine shops, weighing shops, iron shops, autumn bridle shops selling horse harnesses, as well as spice shops, musical instrument shops, ceramic shops, oil indigo shops, French candle shops and other shops. As for foreign goods, they include the food of Rongguo, the leather of Xuanguo, the silk of Xiguo, the seafood of Confucius, the spices of Lingguo, and so on. Yingxian thought to herself: The prosperity here is better than the place where I met Wu Ming. It turns out that Yu is such an open country. I don't know that Wu Ming...... Where did it go, alas.

Huiyi touched Yingxian with her elbow and asked, "What do you want to buy today?" Yingxian remembered that the jewelry box in his room was empty, so he said, "I don't know if the jewelry here is expensive?" Shall I pick one or two for myself? Hui Yi smiled: "Thanks to the fact that I have brought enough silver, I am afraid that you will not be able to pick the expensive one?" But you'll have to pay me back when you get back. ”

Ying Xian asked curiously, "Are all the expenses of the princess's mansion provided by the palace?" Xiao Ningzi shook his head and said: "If the princess is not married and remains in the palace, it will be provided by the court." But if she gets married, she will give the princess hundreds of peasant households, and collect the money, grain, and cloth from the sealed households. ”

"Oh? So who will levy it? Is it Father-in-law Ning? ”

Xiao Ningzi's face was pale, and he said: "The princess has always praised me for my good head and ability to settle accounts, so she entrusted me with the important task of 'levying the feudal envoy'. You know that princesses are always the most accurate at seeing people. But if I unfortunately get sick on the day of the rent collection, I will be cheaper than Xiao Yinzi's guy. Huiyi pouted and smiled: "How can Xiao Yinzi compare to your monkey spirit?" I don't know how much hard-earned money I extorted from those hillbillies behind my back! Xiao Ningzi said: "The princess has an order, and it is not allowed to take it by tricks, I respect the second princess, just like I respect the queen mother, how dare I disobey her old man's order?" It's just that sometimes the weather is too bad...... Just ask the uncle and aunt for a few glasses of wine to drink. ”

Yingxian was quite unimpressed by Huiyi's pampered tone. Xiao Ningzi was even more flamboyant, and it was difficult to distinguish between the truth and falsehood of the words that came out, and she sighed secretly in her heart, she didn't expect this person to win the favor of the second princess, so it can be seen that there are always too many good words. He asked again: "I see that there are things from all over the country in this East City, so Yu Guo is now considered a peaceful and prosperous era, right?" ”

Xiao Ningzi and Huiyi glanced at each other, and Xiao Ningzi grabbed and said, "Ouch, listen to what the girl said!" Today's emperor is wise and wise, tolerant of all rivers, and has business dealings with countries all over the world, even I, a cheap bone, can buy whatever I want, how can it not be a peaceful and prosperous world! ”

The three of them asked and answered, and when they passed a shop with a plaque of "Rong Bao Zhai", Huiyi stopped. Turning to Yingxian, he said: "Usually we have to pick jewelry and jewelry, and we usually go to Qiyan Pavilion in Beishi." It's close to Miyagi, and it's even rarer to sell. But today just came to Ruyi City, I heard that this Rong Bao Zhai has a long reputation, you come in and pick a few things that you are satisfied with. The princess said that you are sick, and you have to make yourself happy. With that, he grimaced and pulled Yingxian into the house.

The lobby is very spacious, and there are many guests. The boss is not in the store, there is a bookkeeper sitting at the front desk, the abacus is crackling, seeing the three of them, they greet them with a smile, and then signal the guy to come and say hello. Yingxian saw that the interior of the house was luxuriously decorated, with an antique container standing in the north, east and west directions. The north cabinet displays jadeite, turquoise, coral, crystal, agate products and all kinds of jade, and the east cabinet is full of beautifully crafted women's jewelry, including necklaces, rings, earrings, hairpins, hairpins, pendants, bracelets, jade pendants, step shakes, flower dians, etc., while the west side is engaged in placing wrenches, hooks, buckles, hats, stamps, pins and other objects. Dazzling, glorious. Yingxian walked around, stood in front of the east container, and looked at the jade ring bead hairpin, touched it, and was very happy in his heart.

Yingxian first picked up a pair of "Emerald Butterfly Pearl Earrings", the gold tray was inlaid with jade butterflies, and the back gold needle was used to pierce the ears. A string of milky white pearls hangs, and then supported by lotus crystals, hanging a jade pendant the size of a little finger. The exquisite and elegant craftsmanship makes Yingxian breathtaking. After putting it down, he picked up a string of "flowing gold beaded rose chains", but it was made of dozens of small roses made of gold, and every seven joints were inlaid with a white pearl. There is also a "Bright Moon Acacia Bracelet" made of high-grade mutton fat jade, the whole body is white and flawless, like clotted fat warm and pure, I am afraid that it hides the soul of Guanghan Xian'e, and it seems that you can smell a faint fragrance when you get close. However, after hesitating for a long time, Yingxian finally chose an "amethyst jade plum hairpin". The white jade is the handle, and the purple crystal blooms into a five-petal plum blossom, which is both elegant and pretty; Pull the head full of green silk into a Ling Xuan bun, and then insert it gently, seven points of smart and charming with three points of reserve, and the co-authoring is very feminine.

Xiao Ningzi stared at Yingxian, and suddenly sighed without warning. Yingxian asked, "What?" I only heard him say: "I have never been sure whether the first beauty of our princess's mansion is the second princess, or you are the girl Yingxian." Now look at you wearing this hairpin, ahem, I already have the answer. It seems that I will have to accompany the princess to pick a good string of beads another day. She's so pure that she doesn't dare to teach people to be close. Ying Xian shouted in his heart: "This guy is actually a eunuch!" It's a eunuch! If you are a normal man, how many boats do you have to step on to be enough? Thinking so in my heart, the peach blossoms were dyed with jade cheeks.

Yingxian asked the price, and it cost two taels of silver, which was about five times the price of eating in the restaurant, and felt that it was a bit expensive, so he had the intention of returning it. Huiyi stepped forward to help Yingxian pay and said, "This hairpin is not bad." However, the things in Qiyan Pavilion are still more chic. Seeing this, Yingxian was not easy to stop, and remembered that he still owed a sum of money to the guard at the gate of Xijian, and couldn't help but secretly complain. But after thinking about it, after all, I bought a beautiful and favorite thing, and I was relieved to save some food and clothing in the future.

The three of them walked out of Rong Bao Zhai and continued to enjoy the city's style, and Yingxian was amused by Xiao Ningzi's clever tongue from time to time. I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly, the smoke and dust billowed in front of me, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a magnificent carved elm carriage drove like a strong wind. There are a total of four high-headed black horses pulling the cart, with shiny coats and a compelling voice. The roof is made of white jade, with gold tassels hanging from the four corners, and the carriage is wrapped in a gold velvet curtain and embellished with various precious stones. The coachman was also well-dressed, holding a long whip and shouting and galloping his horse. When the people saw it, they all fled and fled. An elderly aunt didn't run fast enough, and was carried by the back of the carriage, and fell to the ground with an "ouch". Yingxian hurriedly walked over to help the aunt and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

The aunt struggled to stand up and cried out, "Thank you, girl." Alas, count me bad luck today, meet that ...... That little boy. ”

"Which little boy?" Yingxian saw that the eldest aunt was silent, so she turned her head and asked Xiao Ningzi.

Xiao Ningzi snorted, and said with contempt: "The one sitting in that car is the third son of Lord Zhang, the left attendant of the military department. If you don't learn anything, your favorite thing to do is to sit in his car...... What Qibao unicorn car, swaggering through the market, for fear that there are still people in Xijian City who don't know that he has such a treasure. ”

"What if his car is going so fast and he hurts someone?"

"Hit someone? Even if you are unlucky if you are light, if you throw a few taels of silver at the heavy one, you will still be considered unlucky. ”

"Does the government care?"

"Who knows. Who can afford it? ”

Yingxian was silent, and asked Huiyi again: "Does the second princess know about such a thing?" Hui Yi replied, "The second princess has heard of it." But I don't care much. When the forest is big, there are naturally all kinds of birds. Don't waste your energy on this idiot. ”

Huiyi's words are not unreasonable, but Yingxian immediately thought of the scene of meeting her sister Yingxue, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings. The spring sun is in full bloom overhead, but the great scenery of this brilliant eastern city seems to be a little dim.
