Chapter 413: Summer City
"Yes, Lord Wang, he was originally going to fight against the army of Xu State who suddenly attacked, but as soon as he got there, he disappeared, and now they are saying that he collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, but I don't believe it, he will never do it!" Since you want to go with Sanchi, you don't need to be suspicious, you don't need to use people!
"No, Prince Mu will never collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, but now King Mu has the highest voice among the princes, and I am afraid that he is also calculated. To say that there are only a few princes in Daqing who are fighting so hot, there are more than a dozen princes in Xu, all of them are not fuel-efficient lamps! Sanji seemed to know the royal family of Xu very well.
"Oh? How do you know? Ye Zhenzhen said.
"My master is the former disciple of the second prince, and I have also been in the imperial city of Xu for a while, so I know a little, in short, the second prince looks like your righteous brother, a gentle and elegant son, in fact, it is dark inside, my master left because he broke some things, I think it is very likely that I was sold to Daqing is the handiwork of the second prince."
Ye Zhenzhen nodded, Sanji's origin is not simple, if she can contact her master in Xu Kingdom, she may be able to find out some things.
And Shangguan Wenze, who was sleeping on the ground on the side, had a black face, and the girl was insinuating that he was misunderstood by herself as a thief at night, but now it has become her fault, and it is really difficult to raise non-women and villains!
Ye Zhenzhen and Sanji talked until late, and the next day the three of them waited until the sun rose before getting up and hurrying, in order to hide people's eyes, Sanji left through the window, and waited until they left the post station to join them.
After walking all the way for about ten days, until the sun went down, the three of them arrived at the imperial city of Xu, Xia City.
When I arrived here, Daqing was originally in the early coolness of turning from summer to autumn, and all that was left was hot, and all that came and went was shorts and shorts, Ye Zhenzhen was grateful to Shangguan Wenze, if he hadn't made a woman with a similar face for her, she would have to wear a heavy makeup in such a hot weather, which was really uncomfortable.
The two said goodbye to Shangguan Wenze at the gate of the city, and then entered the city, and now because of the war, it is much stricter to enter the Xia City, but Ye Zhenzhen is now Lin Qingqing from the Yue Kingdom, and the Yue Kingdom has always been friendly with the Xu State, and Sanji is a native of the Xu State, and the soldiers at the gate respectfully let the two in.
And the package given by Shangguan Wenze was hidden in the storage ring by Ye Zhenzhen before entering the city, and in addition to the things given to Shangguan Wenze, she hid the other gold and the cosmetics she brought from Daqing in the storage ring, in case of emergency, the storage ring is her biggest reliance, it's not that she doesn't believe Qingju and Shangguan Wenze, but she can't tell them, so she makes a full set of plays, so she has to make some packages and hide it from them.
Xiacheng is like its name, almost all year round is summer, the girls here wear very open, tulle-like skirts, all kinds, much more attractive than Daqing, including the men here, the clothes worn are also much thinner, but these are the dress of rich people, men and women without money, similar to roadside stalls are shorts, and there is no beauty.
As soon as she entered the city, Sanji was very happy, and she had been away from her hometown for a long time, and now when she came back, she almost cried, "Zhen...... Sister Qingqing, when we first came to Xia City, there was no place to stay, in the past, the master had a courtyard in the city, and the master had long since lost where he went, so why don't we go where to live. ”
"No, if we go to live, then it will be tantamount to falling in the light, and we are coming quietly now, and we must not reveal our identities. How old were you when you were kidnapped by thieves? ”
"I was only twelve or thirteen years old."
Ye Zhenzhen nodded, now that Sanji is sixteen or seventeen, it is the time when the girl's appearance has changed the most, it seems that there is no need to hide a lot, "Let's go, let's go find an inn to live in today, and then go to the street tomorrow to find a place to live." ”
In the summer city, there are especially many red mansions and Chu Pavilions, there is a fragrant breeze everywhere, and these existences in the summer city are legal, most people are voluntary, rather than not having enough food and clothing at home, it is better to live the life you want with a little bit of style.
And in the evening, when it was still a little cool, it was particularly pleasing to the eye, but it was a pity that Ye Zhenzhen was now full of Nangong Mu in her heart.
Suddenly, Sanji pointed to one of the rooms and said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Sister Qingqing, look. ”
Ye Zhenzhen looked in the direction of her finger but saw that there were rows of men standing upstairs, all dressed up in flowers and branches, more enchanting than women, which made her frown, Xu Guo's Xiacheng folk customs are open, and women's status is not low, she knows that the bunch of men in front of her must be to attract female customers, but the taste of Xiacheng women is too heavy, they can like it so greasy, it is really incomprehensible.
"The eyes of the women in Xia Cheng are really not very good." Ye Zhenzhen expressed her thoughts truthfully.
Sanji laughed out loud, "Sister Qingqing, the one you see is for men, and the one on the other side is for women!" ”
Sure enough, Ye Zhenzhen followed her hand and looked at the opposite side, although there were some men standing there, they were all dressed in white, not very old, all of them were young men, with a tall appearance, not to mention, this room is really attractive.
"How about it, yes, this is the most famous building in Xia City, called the Star Picking Pavilion, which means that the men in this hall are like stars and can only be watched from afar, and the entertainers are all big people, only women can enter, men can't, and just go in to see, you need a thousand taels of silver tickets, so the people here are either rich or expensive! Moreover, the star master of the Star Picking Pavilion heard that he was handsome and extraordinary, and mortals couldn't forget to return when they saw it! I heard all of this from the painting boat, I was still young when I was in Xu Kingdom, and I only knew that there was such a place, but I didn't know what it did. ”
"But I heard that King Mu is also handsome and extraordinary, but he is the dream person of a group of girls in the capital, the last time I saw it, it was indeed extraordinary, I don't know how it compares to the star lord."
Sanji said to himself, and only after finishing speaking did he remember that King Mu was missing now, and Princess Mu was sad, so he looked at Ye Zhenzhen apologetically, "Sister Qingqing, I didn't mean to mention it, you can rest assured, King Mu has his own natural appearance, and it will never be fine." ”
"Lend you good words." Ye Zhenzhen's eyes drifted from the Star Picking Pavilion, and she took Sanji to live in a restaurant not far away, from ancient times to the present, the Chu Pavilion of the Red Mansion is the most important place to find out the news, she decided to live in the restaurant for the time being, and a plan quietly emerged in Ye Zhenzhen's heart.
On the second day, Ye Zhenzhen slept until noon by Sanji, went out by herself, and bought a large bag of things, all of which were rouge powder on the street of Xiacheng, and some incense, Xiacheng had a heavy body odor and most of the skin was healthy, so she paid special attention to rouge and incense.
"Sister Qingqing, why don't you call me when you go out, what if you meet a bad guy?"
"No, the security in Xia City is very good, if you want to kidnap people on the street, I'm afraid that even the prince will have to be punished." Ye Zhenzhen said.
"That's right, the security in Xiacheng is indeed better than in Daqing, and on the streets of Daqing, there are aristocrats robbing people at any time, which is the most disliked."
Ye Zhenzhen was busy tinkering with the things in her hand, and Ren Sanji was watching curiously from the side.
And she bought these things, firstly, to study the shortcomings of Xia Cheng's makeup, and secondly, to hide people's eyes, she bought so much, even Sanji didn't know how many things she bought, and when the time came, as long as she mixed things at will, she could take out the things in the ring and sell them, and her goal was these Qin Lou Chu Pavilions, especially the Star Picking Tower!
"Sister Qingqing, speaking of which, you are really amazing, I have heard about you in Daqing, I heard that your makeup skills are very good, no matter how ugly you look, as long as you succeed, you can become a beauty, even the ladies in the palace are flocking to it, and even the word makeup appears by you!" Sanchi said adoringly.
Ye Zhenzhen chuckled, "Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin, I change the bone position with makeup, which is different from others, but it takes many years to figure it out." ”
"Really? Sister Qingqing is not very old, she must be talented! Sanchi's eyes were already starry.
Ye Zhenzhen paused, and almost wrapped herself in, now she is only about eighteen years old, and she was born in the countryside, saying that it is not Sanji, a girl with big nerves, if she lets others listen to it, she will definitely have to investigate it deeply.
In my previous life, I was almost thirty, and now I have been studying for a few more years, so I can have such a good memory.
Fortunately, Sanchi didn't dig deeper.
The two worked in the restaurant for an afternoon, Ye Zhenzhen studied the incense of Xia Cheng thoroughly, took out her original perfume, and blended it, at first, she decided to use only the cheapest perfume to attract a group of people, even the worst perfume here is far better than those incense.
Nowadays, the people of Xia City, although they have a body odor, but it is not very big, some even don't, they generally either smoke incense on their clothes, or carry sachets with them, the smell is very big, and it is not very good, some people with light body odor with sachets or use strong incense to smoke clothes, but stealing chickens does not make rice, which makes people feel more unpleasant.
With Ye Zhenzhen's perfume, light and fragrant, it can not only cover the body odor, but also make people have a cool feeling in summer.
When it was done, Ye Zhenzhen looked at the perfume bottle she made in her hand and was very satisfied. There is no glass here, and there is no sprinkler head, so she can only customize special ceramic vessels, but unfortunately, it will take a few days to ship, and now this one is transformed by herself.
"Let's go, go pick up the star tower!" Ye Zhenzhen said excitedly.
"What...... What the? Whatever you do there, it costs a thousand taels! Sanchi scratched his head.
