The group made up their minds and began to split up.

Under the temptation of snacks, Ah Huan followed Shi Zijian and Yun Rong to the vegetable market.

Qingdai followed Shi Zikang all the way to the calligraphy and painting shop run by Mr. Zhuang.

Along the way, Qingdai looked around from time to time, curiously looking at this ancient street scene.

Shi Zikang was obviously very familiar with this Candle Hua Town, and he saw that she was very interested in her surroundings along the way.

He simply acted as a "temporary tour guide".

From time to time, I will introduce her to all kinds of interesting facts about the town, the origin of some shops, etc.

The street where the two are now walking is called "Guanqian Street", which, according to Shi Zikang, is the most prosperous main street in the town and must be passed.

Whoever enters the town, regardless of which street they end up heading, almost always passes through this street.

With such an important street, there is naturally no shortage of shops.

Along the way, Qingdai also saw many kinds of shops, including food shops, ready-to-wear stores, and grocery stores......

It can be said that it is all-encompassing, varied, and has all kinds of shops.

Walking through the main street and through the alleys, Qing Dai saw another face of the town.

is different from the lively main street where the two of them have been all the way, and there are many kinds of shops.

Now the streets where the two are located are all calligraphy and painting shops.

There is no sound of vendors, and there are few pedestrians on the whole street, and with this bluestone slab with traces of time, it looks very quiet.

At the corner of the street, a slightly old wooden sign is marked with the three big characters of 'Yuyong Street'.

"Godfather, what is the difference between the calligraphy and painting shop on Guanqian Street and the calligraphy and painting shop here?"

"Guanqian Street is the most prosperous street in Candle Hua Town, and in that area, the rent of shops will naturally rise.

Therefore, most of the calligraphy and painting shops there sell some celebrity calligraphy.

"The calligraphy and paintings in the shop are very precious, and often one piece is worth a thousand gold.

"And things like some ordinary pen, ink, paper, inkstone, classics, books and scrolls can only be bought in this Yong Street."

Knowing that she had the idea of selling paintings, Shi Zikang smiled and continued: "Of course, this Yongjie Street naturally also sells calligraphy and paintings.

"Not far in front of me is Mr. Zhuang's shop, and he also has a lot of paintings in his shop.

"Qing Dai can see in a while, what kind of level the picture scrolls sold here are, and what the price is."

"I see, godfather."

The two of them had already reached the door of Mr. Zhuang's shop in Shi Zikang's mouth.

Qing Dai looked up and saw that there was a wooden plaque hanging on the door, on which were written four large gilded characters - Fengyue Study.

The store is not large, and you can see the whole store from the outside.

There is a screen partition in the middle, so it is impossible to see everything inside.

The decoration of the whole shop is very elegant, and it looks quite literati at a glance.

While the two of them were stopping at the door, a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old hurriedly ran out of the store.

Judging by the clothes and age, it should be the guy in this store.

"Shi Xiucai?"

"Ah Xiang." Shi Zikang obviously knew the person in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang is here, I am here to hand over ...... today."

The guy named Ah Xiang didn't wait for Shi Zikang to finish speaking, and hurriedly interrupted him.

"How did you have time to come to town today, but what do you have to sell......

"No, it's ...... me who finished copying that book."

"Oh, I'm going to sell some vegetables, just passing through here." Ah Xiang spoke, turning his head to look inside.

whispered: "Shhh......hh

As he spoke, he wanted to pull Shi Zikang into the alley on one side.

Shi Zikang was already inconvenient in his legs and feet, so he was pulled by him and almost fell to the ground first.

"Godfather!" Qing Dai's eyes were quick, and she hurriedly stepped forward to support the person.

"Shi Xiucai is okay, right? I didn't mean to, I ......"

"I'm fine." Shi Zikang looked at him with an anxious face, and there was some speculation in his heart, and his face sank.

Said to Qing Dai: "Qing Dai, Mr. Zhuang will be inconvenient, let's ...... first"

"Yo, who should I be making noise outside, it's our Shi Da talent." A slightly sarcastic male voice came from inside the store.

Qing Dai helped Shi Zikang, obviously feeling that his body was a little stiff at the moment when the voice appeared.

Looking for the sound, I saw a man in a green shirt standing at the door of the store at some point.

Qing Dai looked at him, and the man in front of him looked like he was about thirty years old.

With a Chinese face, a green shirt, and a tall posture, he looks like a frank and upright gentleman.

But the haze in those eyes destroyed the original righteousness, and it looked a little vicious.

"Qingdai, let's go."

"Brother Shi is in such a hurry, it's rare for our old friends to meet, so it's time to catch up with the old days.

"Or is it that Brother Shi looks down on him? I don't want to give this face. ”

"The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other." Shi Zikang looked at him coldly: "I have nothing to say to you." ”

"Oh, it's different." The man said, his face even more gloomy, and said coldly: "To this day.

"Brother Shi is still so pretentious. It seems that only one broken leg is not enough for you to have a long memory!

"What? Don't you really have to discount your other leg to see the reality clearly? to understand the truth of life. ”

"Zhang Xiansheng!" Shi Zikang turned his head sharply and scolded sharply.

"Why, now my leg is crippled, and even my tongue is crippled? Think you can scare people just by being loud? ”

Shi Zikang's face was ugly, his eyes were bloodshot, he stared at him, and the fists on his side were clenched.

His body trembled faintly, it was anger to the extreme.

Qing Dai looked at him with a little worry, and the strength of holding him increased slightly.

Shi Zikang seemed to remember that she was still on the side, his body relaxed, looked at her a little apologetically, and reached out to protect him behind him.

Qing Dai's whole person was blocked by Shi Zikang, pinching the corners of his clothes, his face was calm and waveless, but he was already shocked in his heart.

Ah Huan said that Shi Zikang's leg was accidentally broken, and according to Ah Huan, after Shi Zikang was seriously injured and sent back, his family also asked about it.

But Shi Zikang only said that he was attacked by bandits on the way to visit his friends, and he didn't know anything else.

Shi Zikang was also a talent at that time, and he was a talent who was about to take the exam, and when such an incident happened, the official naturally intervened in the investigation.

But I checked and checked, but I didn't even find the shadow of the bandit, and in the end, I don't know why.

Everyone in the Shi family, including Yun Rong, only thought that Shi Zikang's broken leg was an accident.

But now it seems that this is obviously not as simple as encountering a bandit.

Hearing this, Shi Zikang clearly knew who broke his leg, but he kept it to his family or officials.

That can only show that the person behind this is not something he can shake, and he is even very powerful, so powerful that even the government can't move it?
