It's completely different from the dilapidated buildings in the history you imagined! Facing is the blue brick city wall of up to ten zhang, must look up, the city wall flutters with colorful flags, the figure of the guards is faintly visible, the city tower presents an octagonal shape, the eaves are painted, the momentum is extraordinary.

Under the city is the moat that has been widely used in history to protect the safety of the city, the river surface is more than three zhang wide, the river water is dark, the bottom is not deep, the suspension bridge that can accommodate cars and horses to pass through guò, lying across the moat, there are also more than three zhang wide, two iron cables stretch straight down from the castle tower above, pulling the suspension bridge.

Damn, it's magnificent! Modern cities don't dare to waste land like this, they can only stack high-rise buildings, and every inch of land is expensive!

"Baoyu, I'll go back, you guys go." Fan Jinqiang refused to enter the city, stopped the car and wiped his sweat.

Wang Baoyu naturally wouldn't force him, took out some money from his pocket and stuffed it into Fan Jinqiang's hand, and then followed the bustling flow of people with Huoya, passed through the grand city gate, and strolled into Xiangyang City.

Regardless of the era, the city has always been the representative of economic development, and Xiangyang City is no exception, although it is not far from Wollongong, but the difference is very large, the pedestrians are obviously much better dressed than the farmers of Wollongong, the stone-paved streets are full of people, the shouting of vendors from time to time, and the occasional carriage of various kinds of carriages.

On the whole, Xiangyang City is clean and tidy, orderly, the houses on the street are basically wooden structures, hanging all kinds of commercial plaques on them, and the places where you encounter high walls and deep houses, carved beams and painted buildings, should be the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles.

However, beautiful women are indeed rare, or related to the feudal ideology at that time, the occasional female ** are the wives of businessmen or ordinary women, due to perennial labor, the observability is not very strong, so Wang Baoyu has no delay.

And since entering Xiangyang City, Huo Ya's eyes are obviously insufficient, and the qiē here is undoubtedly novel, fashionable and trendy for her. There is no shortage of people wearing satin clothes walking around, and the bright hairpins inserted in the hair make people not envious, especially the shoes on the women's feet, some of which are embroidered, which is really beautiful!

Looking down at his old clothes that had been washed white, and then touching his hair and face covered with ashes, hey, when will he be able to live such a life, Huo Ya sighed as she walked.

Of course, what makes Huo Ya's heart move the most is the various delicacies on the street, the aroma of food in the air is intoxicating, she is so confused that she almost hit pedestrians several times, so that Wang Baoyu always reminds her.

And this qiē, for Wang Baoyu, who has lived in a modern metropolis, is more like a film and television base for filming, the difference is that all kinds of people in robes and coats in the film and television base are played by modern people, but the people here are real ancients.

Along the way, Wang Baoyu saw a lot of men dressed in white, all of them looked like rich people, and he couldn't help but ask Huo Ya curiously, "Huo Ya, why are there so many people wearing white clothes here?" Could it be that white is popular in Xiangyang City? ”

"It's not as good as Wollongong, there are many businessmen, and those who wear white clothes are also businessmen." Huoya explained.

Oh! It turned out that the dress here was also particular about the color, and Huo Ya's answer reminded Wang Baoyu of an allusion recorded in the history books, that is, "crossing the river in white clothes", it was Jiangdong Lu Meng who sent troops to pretend to be merchants and sneak attacked Jingzhou, so that Guan Yu was defeated.

Wang Baoyu asked curiously: "Do only businessmen wear white clothes?" How can I see Mr. Kong Ming and Xu Shu also wearing white clothes? ”

"Literati occasionally wear white, but officials never wear white." Huo Ya said, pointed to Wang Baoyu's clothes and said, "The clothes you are wearing are after the official eunuch." ”

Hehe, Wang Baoyu laughed, it seems that Mr. Shui Jing also respects himself, but he doesn't know whether his father here was a Jipin official. But that Wang Lian Wang Yifu, why never showed up, did he really die outside, hehe, no wonder he became his stepfather in the next life, it turned out that he didn't take good care of his own son in this life!

Although Wang Baoyu was cranky, he did not forget the purpose of coming to Xiangyang City. There are two of them, one is that since you have come to ancient times, you must enjoy the real ancient city scenery up close, and you should be a tourist; Of course, the more important purpose is to buy medicinal materials and go back to process and boil Chun Ge pills for the treatment of Huang Yueying's infertility.

Last night, Wang Baoyu had already thought very clearly, Brother Chun Pill is a modern name, the ancients didn't know where Brother Chun was sacred, and it would cause misunderstanding, so it was better to change the name to Happy Dan.

Wang Baoyu and Huo Ya finally walked into a large-scale pharmacy hanging the "Xiaoyao Medicine Workshop", as soon as they entered the door, they smelled the strong fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine, and the hall was very tidy, and it was a regular unit at a glance.

The shopkeeper was an old man dressed in white, who looked quite kind, and saw that Wang Baoyu was dressed well, and he was accompanied by a maid, so he greeted him quite respectfully: "Two guest officers, I don't know what you need?" ”

The formula of the Happy Dan, Wang Baoyu came as soon as he opened his mouth, what black ants, wolfberry, Wang Baoyu seemed to be saying a tongue twister, and said a lot in one breath.

The shopkeeper was afraid of missing it, so he immediately picked up a brush to record, but the black beans and loach fish involved in it could not be bought in the medicine store.

The shopkeeper told Wang Baoyu that black beans were to be bought at the market, which was very common. As for the problem of loach fish, it is necessary to see if there are any in the river. Wang Baoyu can't help it, when he returns to Wollongong, let's go to the river and touch the tone!

Fortunately, the other medicinal materials are not rare, and they can be matched here, but when asked how many taels of money are needed, Wang Baoyu couldn't understand, so he simply asked for a bunch of everything and let the shopkeeper wrap it separately.

The shopkeeper looked suspicious, probably because he had never seen such a purchase of medicinal herbs. In the end, a total of 100 baht, the price of medicinal materials is still very cheap.

Just as Wang Baoyu and Huo Ya were about to walk out of the pharmacy with large bags of medicinal herbs, a boy of twelve or thirteen suddenly rushed in and crashed into Wang Baoyu's body at once.

Wang Baoyu didn't watch out, stumbled, and almost didn't sit on the ground.

"Damn, I don't have long eyes when I walk." Wang Baoyu didn't suppress the fire and couldn't help scolding.

"Are you scolding me?" The young man stopped, looked Wang Baoyu up and down, and asked in surprise.

"Whoever hits someone is scolding someone, don't look innocent, it's reasonable to hit someone?" Wang Baoyu rubbed his chest that was hit a little painfully, very unhappy.

"This guest officer, let's leave, don't care." The shopkeeper of the pharmacy showed a frightened look and hurriedly bought it from behind the counter to play a round.
