Chapter 39: Shopaholic
"That's it!" Su Mu stopped the few people who were about to knock on the door, did not explain, but glanced at the closed door with a somewhat complicated look, and turned to leave.
Several people looked at each other and swallowed the words back from their mouths.
……
Outside the city, galloping fast, approaching the fork in the road outside the city, a white and a black at the same time slowed down.
Su Mu was still riding on his white horse, looking at the aimless ahead, he pulled the reins and asked, "Why do you cultivate?" ”
"Searching for the truth, seeking the truth of the world, searching for the true self." Fusheng replied.
"Then why leave the mountain? Don't you want to become an immortal? ”
"If you are at ease, you will be a land immortal."
When Su Mu heard this, he stared at him for a long time, and said as if talking to himself: "It seems that cultivating immortals has no desire and no desire, but in fact, thinking about eternal existence is the greatest desire." ”
Fusheng smiled and sighed, and asked, "People should first live clearly, they have to find their true selves, have you ever heard a poem called Ten Insufficiencies?" ”
Su Mu nodded.
Fusheng looked into the distance, took a breath, and asked the doubts he had always had in his heart: "Then why did you leave Uncle Yuan?" ”
"I'm just a layman, and I can't understand anything." Su Mu paused, pinched his wrist again, and continued: "I really want to understand...... I'm afraid that these hands are only suitable for the devil's path or the evil way! ”
"Why?" Fusheng asked rhetorically.
"I can't remember how many people I killed." Su Mu raised his chin proudly: "I have to continue." ”
Fusheng was stunned, and looked at Su Mu who was moving his palms incredulously.
He pondered for a moment and said firmly: "You and I are senior brothers, if you really go the wrong way, I will not sit idly by." ”
This sentence is Fusheng's warning to Su Mu, and it also shows his position.
"In terms of cultivation, I must be inferior to you in spells, but in terms of swordsmanship, you are not as good as me." After Su Mu analyzed, he informed him of a conclusion: "At most, we will count it as a tie." ”
"In that case, don't go the wrong way."
"Isn't the right way and the evil way all the way?" After speaking, Su Mu let out a long breath of turbidity.
"Senior Brother......
"Don't call me senior brother, call me by name!" Su Mu interrupted him.
Fusheng slowed down and continued: "What you said is right, the right way, the evil way is not all the way. But one good and one evil are all in the same thought. Seeing that Su Mu didn't react, he slowed down his tone and reminded in a low voice: "Now, the king is obsessed with beauty, and the prince may be the hope of the common people." ”
When he heard the word prince, Su Mu's eyes widened, looking at Fusheng.
"For the sake of the people, maybe ......"
"No maybe!" Su Mu gritted his teeth and interrupted him again: "I have no grudge with him. ”
"But after all these years, you're still a brocade guard." Fusheng also raised his voice, but after shouting, he immediately lowered his voice a little more, and said: "He is the future king, and heaven cannot be left without an owner!" ”
"That's all she told you?" At this time, Su Mu spoke as if he was interrogating a prisoner.
Fusheng nodded, "Uncle Yuan, I can't rest assured of you." ”
Hearing that when he was still thinking about himself, Su Mu covered up his uneasy heart with some melancholy, and said lightly: "I know, if you see her, tell her that I am doing well!" ”
Fusheng shook his head helplessly, pinched the horse under his legs, and shouted "chirp", he rode on horseback, and gradually walked on a bottomless fork in the road, waved his hand with his back to Su Mu, and shouted: "Go back!" See you soon! ”
Returning to Shengjing City, as soon as Su Mu handed over the reins to Ma Tong's hands, he saw Song Zirui, Yuan Shuang, and Mu Yun pushing Jiangling out of the gate.
A few people chattered and made a fuss:
"Gangneung, you're almost fine."
"How about we go buy new clothes, buy your favorite green."
"How about I invite you to dinner?"
"I don't want it, you let me go!" Gangneung put his hands on the door frame and swore to resist.
A group of people are pulling and pulling at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, which is really unseemly.
Su Mu stepped forward quickly and asked, "What's wrong?" Where are you going to take him? ”
Several people immediately fell silent when they heard the voice, and they didn't know how to explain.
After Ning Hao, who was following behind, glanced back and forth, he ran to the front, with a little crying, and explained, "My lord, you are back, today's Lantern Festival, princess, young lady, they just want to take Deputy Envoy Jiang to the street." ”
"Uh-huh!" Several people nodded vigorously and acknowledged.
"Lantern Festival ......," Su Mu muttered and repeated these two words.
Song Zirui also stepped forward and said, "Just take it as a way to make up for the shortcomings of the New Year, how about it?" ”
Yes, it was a good New Year that was stirred up by a fire, Su Mu looked at Yuan Shuang and Mu Yun who were full of anticipation, and nodded slowly,
"I'm not interested!" Gangneung pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Uncle!" Su Mu approached him, "In a few days, my grandmother's eightieth birthday will be celebrated, and then you and I will go back to Qinghe together." ”
"I'm going!" Yuan Shuang immediately raised his hand.
"I'm going too!" Not to be outdone, Mu Yun was not to be outdone.
Song Zirui bumped Su Mu with his shoulder and reminded, "Then I'll go too." ”
Su Mu let out a light "um" and agreed.
Gangneung finally let go of his hand, and the people suddenly became enlightened.
The fire was only half a month, and the people in the city seemed to have forgotten about it, and they were busy with their own things, only occasionally one or two people mentioned it, and everyone also said a few words casually.
Everyone is busy with their livelihoods, and they don't have so much time to care about a building, and no one cares about the truth of the matter.
After the last time Mu Yun helped Yuanshuang scare Meng Guifei, the relationship between the two was not as stiff as before, at least they could go shopping together in harmony.
"Qibaoxuan!" Yuanshuang was attracted by a luxuriously decorated shop, for people like her, who have hardly gone shopping and have no shortage of money at home, everything is a treasure, and there is only one word in her mind, buy!
The owner of Qibaoxuan is a young girl, in fact, a slightly assertive woman will be right no matter what era she is, and the title of full-time wife will say NO!
Especially those wealthy and noble women, who don't hide a few shops in private to earn some pocket money.
The big shops, green buildings and other money-making industries in Shengjing City have long been eaten by them in secret, and ordinary people can't even get a piece of the pie.
However, these women also bear certain risks, even if they have a family, the support of the clan is easy to end up with a bad reputation, so that they cannot get married.
If there is no support from family members and clansmen, it is basically similar to modern drug smuggling and trafficking, and once it is discovered, the consequences can be imagined.
Thinking of this, the corners of Mu Yun's mouth involuntarily pursed his lips, in the final analysis, it is the pedantic thinking of a few people, which prevents us women from having the opportunity to fight the world.
As soon as Yuan Shuang stepped into the shop, her eyes swept over the counter, and the jewelry placed on the red silk immediately hooked her excited heart.
hairpin, hairpin, hairpin, step...... Although there is no shortage of these things in the palace, it is just that the palace pays attention to the dignified atmosphere, and the colors are too gorgeous.
This made Yuanshuang, as a princess, involuntarily like these colorful and fresh jewelry when she saw them.
Among them, gold is the most expensive, jadeite jade depends on the type, the expensive is better than gold, and the cheap is about the same as silver.
Yuanshuang was not short of money, and shouted excitedly at the shopkeeper: "Give this, this, this, and here, all to my father...... Miss Ben took it out. ”
The shopkeeper had already seen that Yuan Shuang was not an ordinary person, and as soon as he heard her, he immediately presented everything she wanted as requested
Mu Yun touched the five taels of silver in his pocket, and muttered in his heart, this money is still left over from the last time he went to Tianfu to study medicine, and he thought it was a lot, but compared with Yuan Shuang's bag of money, it was not worth mentioning.
She was lamenting the lack of money, and Yuan Shuang had already ordered to wrap a big box one by one.
This store is also a luxury store in this era, but in Yuan Shuang's eyes, this idea is nothing at all.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any other good things here, can you bring them all out to Miss Ben?" Yuan Shuang knocked on the counter dissatisfied.
The woman looked at the old man who thought he had a goatee, and saw that he was dressed as a scholar, and she was not surprised to hear this.
The old man pointed to the empty counter, and said with a smile: "The girl bought all the ones in the store, and the rest are here." ”
"Hey......" Yuanshuang sighed and said, "Okay, let's go, remember to prepare more good things next time!" ”
"A delicate hairpin!" When he went out, Mu Yun's eyes were attracted by a hair fork that had been forgotten in the corner.
I saw that the hairpin was pale pink, the hairpin body was carved with a lifelike colorful phoenix, a snow lotus bloomed quietly on the hairpin, and there was a lotus seed-like pendant, elegant and dusty.
Song Zirui leaned his head when he heard the voice, glanced at the hairpin, and said domineeringly: "Shopkeeper, I want this hairpin." ”
"Huh, good!" As soon as the shopkeeper took out the hairpin, he snatched it with one hand, and Song Zirui looked at Yuan Shuang's hand nervously.
"That's it, how nice it is there!" Yuan Shuang looked at it and handed it to Song Zirui in disgust.
"How much?" Song Zirui, who was holding the hairpin, looked at the boss and asked.
"If the guest officer really wants it, give two taels of silver."
So expensive? Two taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person to live for a year.
Mu Yun just wanted to bargain, but Song Zirui had already put the silver on the counter.
"Hey! What are you doing, boss, it's too expensive for you to buy. Mu Yun stretched out his hand to get the silver back, but the store was already one step ahead of her.
"Mu Yun!" Song Zirui called softly; "For you!"
Oh my God, it's like in the 21st century, you just casually cross a donkey-brand limited edition bag, and the next side is a handsome guy who buys it for you, and it makes no difference if you want to give it to you.
Su Mu, who had been watching from the sidelines, clenched his fists for fear that Mu Yun would take it, but he was afraid that Mu Yun would not accept it, and it was like two villains fighting in his heart. I was very conflicted.
Song Zirui, who was holding the hairpin, saw that she didn't pick it up, smiled, and asked, "Why don't I bring it for you?" ”
Su Mu's eyes widened, if he hadn't been married, he would definitely go up and push Song Zirui away......
Mu Yun looked at Song Zirui a little at a loss and gently inserted the hairpin into his high bun.
"It's so pretty." Listening to Song Zirui's praise, Mu Yun didn't feel ashamed.
"Thank you." She whispered.
Su Mu was extremely disappointed in his heart, his eyes glanced at the passers-by aimlessly, and said coldly: "Let's go!" ”
