Ruan Mingyu smiled, he could always scratch Li Jingshan's itch.

"Well, take a look at your brother's territory," Third Young Master Ruan rubbed his wife's sideburns to tease her, "It's like Shangguan going to inspect the political achievements of his subordinates, and he can give a good lecture when he goes back." ”

"Alright, you." Li Jingshan smiled and pushed Ruan Mingyu, "What's wrong with becoming more and more lawless?" ”

Thinking about Ruan Mingyu, he was born in white, and when he walked in the palace, he was just receiving a brand of a nine-grade craftsman. Li Jingjue is from Tanhua and leads the waist brand fish bag of the fourth grade.

"Hey, eldest sister is like a mother." Ruan Mingyu smiled disappreciatively, "Go to his jurisdiction and take a turn, it should be the care of the elders." ”

"Yes. You also happened to go and see if you want to open another branch in the western Xinjiang region. ”

"Those who know me, the lady also. That's what the husband wants. Ruan Mingyu just wanted Li Jingshan to distract herself, and when she mentioned it like this, her heart moved, and it was not bad to go and investigate.

When discussing this matter with Meng Shu, Meng Shu was studying skills with the craftsmen of Yuecheng, and soaked in the cast iron room all day long without fear of the heat. Be careful on the road. ”

The itinerary was booked, and the two set off for Xiling the next day.

The carriage went to the southwest, and the further I went, the more I saw the reckless green mountains described by Li Jingjue, full of emerald colors. When passing by the bazaar, you can occasionally see strangely dressed mountain people, looking at them with clear and curious eyes.

Xiling County Mansion is at the foot of such a reckless mountain, backed by 100,000 mountains, and bordered by the Canglang River in the south. Because the county was established earlier, it has now formed a large western border town inhabited by Yi and Han. And to the west for nearly 100 miles, I arrived at Mao County, a newly developed county in recent years and the jurisdiction where Li Jingjue is located. And the garrison camp of Zhenyuan General Chu Tiankuo is also located there.

This Xiling Mansion, for Ruan Li and his wife, is a revisit. It's just that when Li Jingshan entered Xiling Mansion, she happened to encounter the plague rampant. As soon as she arrived in the local area, she immediately instructed Chu Tiankuo to rectify government affairs and isolate and fight the epidemic. And Ruan Mingyu chased him thousands of miles, but he could only complain to Li Jingshan across the fence in the ambulance station. Neither of them was able to get to know this big border town well.

This time, the two of them are like stepping on it for the first time, full of novelty.

Xiling Mansion is still dominated by Han people, and the bustling and prosperous city is no less than that of the inland town, but there are more items of ethnic minority customs. And those snow-white and shiny silverware, brocades with strange stitches and novel patterns, handicrafts made from mountain vine tree roots, etc., are Li Jingshan's favorites.

Ruan Mingyu followed behind her, his hands full of items, and smiled helplessly, "Do you want to move half of the market home?" We're just in a carriage. ”

"Who said I'm going to take it back to the capital?" Li Jingshan looked back and smiled, "My real idea is that the shopkeeper of Ruan Da will build a house here and place these fine works of art for me." ”

"Yo, my lady is so loud, this is to ......" Ruan Mingyu said halfway through his teasing words, and suddenly came to his senses, "You are planning to let me open a branch here and use these objects for the decoration of the store!" ”

Li Jingshan nodded, "Actually, the silverware craftsmanship here is well developed, and the locals also have a tradition of wearing silver jewelry. It is a good idea to expand the business here. ”

Ruan Mingyu traveled all the way, and he was also secretly investigating. It's just that I haven't made up my mind yet. Now that he heard Li Jingshan mention it again, he was even more moved, he hugged Li Jingshan's thin waist and smiled, "Why don't we open a shop here and give it to our son in the future and make a gift?" ”

"You, how did you know he, he would be here......?" Li Jingshan's face was so red from his breath that she was sprayed.

Ruan Mingyu smiled innocently, "So let's work hard." ”

Li Jingshan glanced at the bustling crowd around her, embarrassed and at a loss, broke free from Ruan Mingyu's "claws", walked to the stall on the side, pretended to look at the goods, and ignored him.

"This 'Nongyi' has a good eye, this is a jewelry that you Han people don't have, just accept one if you like."

"Nongyi" is the name of the Yi people for the lady. Li Jingshan looked at it intently, only to find that she was standing in front of a jewelry stall of an old Yi person, the owner of which was also a Yi person's clothing, and introduced it in stiff Chinese: "These jewelry are our ancestral craftsmanship, and you can't see it over there." ”

Li Jingshan's eyes lit up, and she saw that on the simple long case, there were all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. Most are dark red, and a few have dark blue.

"Jackpots?!" Li Jingshan almost blurted out.

The stall owner smiled and said, "Exactly, colored gold." Nong Yi likes it, so pick a few. The bracelet collar is very good-looking. ”

"Did you make these ornaments yourself?" Li Jingshan asked eagerly.

The stall owner waved his hand again and again, "We won't." This is built by the 'Sayan' in our village. But it's all a craft that has been passed down for many years. ”

"Sayan" is the honorific title of the handicraft artist in the village, and the emperor is respected in the village, and even the village chief has to give some face.

"Where's your stockade?" Li Jingshan looked at him with burning eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of brightness.

"Hehe, our stockade, it's far away." The stall owner of the Nayi tribe turned around and pointed to the vast 100,000 mountains, "It's right there." ”

"Is it Mao County? Can you take us to your village? Li Jingshan seemed to grasp a glimmer of victory.

"I'm going to go in." The stall owner shook his head and smiled, "Inside, the trees are as high as the sky, and the mountain stream is as deep as the sea." You Han people, you can't go there. ”

"We've bought all the ornaments at your stall."

Ruan Mingyu, who was standing behind Li Jingshan, suddenly said in a loud voice, "If you still have such ornaments in your village, we will also buy them." In this way, can we go back to the village with you to pick up the goods? ”

The stall owner grew his mouth and hesitated to nod or shake his head. Ruan Mingyu put an ingot of ten taels of official silver on the long case, "This is a deposit." Have you seen enough, uncle? ”

The jewelry on the table was all small items, no more than five or six taels of silver. The stall owner looked at the ingot of silver, his eyes struggled for a long time, and finally picked up the ingot of silver, and hesitated, "Since the two guests are sincere, I can take you to the stockade to have a look." But whether the Sayan people would like to see you, I dare not say. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Just take us in, and we'll ask him for help. Li Jingshan replied happily.

Things were just happily decided.

When Li Jingshan and Ruan Mingyu walked in the reckless mountains and forests with the old stall owner, Ranke, they finally experienced the scenery of Western Xinjiang that Li Jingjue had described to them: the big trees that cover the sky and the sun, the ancient vines as thick as arms, the weeping tree dills like silk, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants with poisonous five poisons, not to mention the snakes and insects that can be seen everywhere at any time......

Ranko walked ahead and made a way for them with a machete.

"The two guest officers don't know, the plants here grow very fast, and no one walks for a few days, and those plants and trees and vines all cover the road." Ranko pulled the cut vine aside, "For many years, when we go in and out of the mountains, we have to find someone to lead the way." Hey—don't move! That sap is poisonous! ”

Ruan Mingyu had never walked such a road with a machete, and it was extremely difficult to walk all the way.

"I can promise," Ruan Mingyu said breathlessly, leaning against a big tree, "Your family's Ah Jue...... I must have never walked such a road, nor had I ever entered the stockade. ”

Li Jingshan also walked quite hard, she remembered that when she was in modern times, she went to geological investigations, such deep mountains and dense forests were also drilled, but she didn't feel so powerless, she couldn't help but sigh, the comfortable days have been too long, and the physical fitness has also deteriorated.

Ranko stopped, let the two of them catch their breath, and said with a smile, "Our stockade is still close to the outside of the mountain." But it's true that no outsiders have ever come in. That is, in the early years, there were several magistrates of Hemao County who were soldiers, and under the leadership of the merchant, they came in a few times. ”

Lan Ke handed the water hyacinth on his waist to Ruan Mingyu, "It was under the persuasion of the official master that someone in our village came out of the deep forest and entered the city of Maoxian to do some small business." It's my first time going to Xiling City. Speaking of this, Ranko was extremely proud, "I may be the person who has gone the farthest in our village." ”

Li Jingshan's heart moved slightly, and asked, "What is the surname of the official master you are talking about?" ”

"Is the surname Li, or is the surname Li?"

Ranko's Chinese language is ordinary, and he can't figure out the surname, so he has to pat his chest and promise, "The soldier is surnamed Chu, I know!" He still seems to be a general. By the way, that young official was the parent official of Mao County back then! It is with his guarantee that we dare to go out of the mountains. ”

Li Jingshan understood. Squinted at Ruan Mingyu with a smile: Who said my brother hasn't been here?

Ruan Mingyu was choked, and handed the water hyacinth to Li Jingshan with a dry smile, "Come, drink water, drink water." ”

He turned to Ranko and smiled, "That's fate." This is the elder sister of the official! ”

Ranko was surprised and delighted, "Oh, really? Great, Li Guanren is a distinguished guest of our village. Since you are his sister, the patriarch will definitely not blame me for taking you into the village without permission. ”

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Maybe 'Sayan' will also agree to meet with you." ”

When we arrived at the stockade, it was already the afternoon of the second day. I heard that Ranko had brought outsiders into the stockade, and the people from the village crowded in front of the tower in the center of the stockade that was used as a council hall to watch. When I heard that they were the sister and brother-in-law of Master Li, there was less vigilance in those curious eyes, and only friendliness remained.

After Li Jingshan and Nguyen Minh Yu took out salt, candles, fire oil, and other items that were scarce in the mountains from outside the mountain, and distributed them to everyone, the people in the village looked at them as if they were seeing their own relatives.

Li Jingshan sighed secretly in her heart, no wonder Ah Jue often said that the people in the mountains are simple, and this is really the case.

When the patriarch heard that Li Jingshan wanted to see 'Sayan', he muttered, "The others are fine. But the only old man you are looking for who can refine colored gold has a very strange temper. I can only help you pass the word, and as for whether he can see you or not, I can't say. ”

Le Thanh Son and Nguyen Minh Woo learned from Ranko that craftsmen with crafts were highly respected in the village, and that they were even more respected than the patriarchs. Moreover, people with ability usually have a bit of temper, so when they heard the patriarch say this, the two of them were not surprised, and they only asked him to help inform them.

Sure enough, after a while, the patriarch came back with a sad face, "That Manduo agrees with you, but he has a request." ”
