When Yingzi brought the tea, she saw the tears on Li Jiangwei's cheeks that had not been wiped away. I couldn't help but feel nervous, and asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Li Jiangwei hurriedly wiped away her tears and said to Yingzi with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I've been away from home for many days." ”

"It's human nature to be homesick." Yingzi smiled, but the smile was less clear and sweet.

"Ahh That's right! Recently, Xiangqu held a spice conference, do you want to go out for a walk with me? ”

Yingzi remembered that the person in front of her was a noble lady in the capital, and suddenly remembered some rules in the capital, and Yingzi felt that her invitation was a little reckless.

"If Miss doesn't think it's appropriate! It's okay not to go! ”

Yingzi's embarrassed appearance amused Li Jiangwei, and she said softly: "Since it's your invitation, let's go over there." But it's been a little cold these two days, so go and get my lotus-colored cloak. After thinking about it, he said, "I don't have the cloak with me." ”

"Yes!"

Because she was walking outdoors, Li Jiangwei wore an extra padded jacket.

"Does Miss want to go to East Street or West Street?" Yingzi introduced: "Most of the spices sold in East Street are edible, such as star anise, pepper, and ingredients. West Street is much more elegant, and it seems to be selling incense? It's the kind of sachet that big families love. ”

"Do you want to go to East Street or West Street!"

Yingzi replied excitedly: "Of course it's Dongjie!" Eat more! ”

When Li Jiangwei heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "Little gluttonous cat." ”

Yingzi stuck out her tongue and was very lively: "Is the young lady going?" ”

"Lead the way."

Yingzi helped Li Jiangwei to walk towards East Street. East Street is crowded with people, and there are shouts everywhere. As soon as I entered East Street, I smelled the aroma of marinade. After walking less than ten meters, Li Jiangwei and Yingzi had a braised duck palm in their hands.

"Look, Miss! There are also those who sell rock sugar gourds! ”

There are many people on East Street, which attracts many itinerant hawkers. There are those who sell small puppets, those who sell sugar paintings, and those who sell small clay figurines. The shouting continued all the way.

Before the master and servant finished eating the braised duck palm in their hands, they bought a small bag of maltose, and before they finished eating the maltose, they bought some glutinous rice cakes, and the last bite of glutinous rice cakes was eaten, and each person had a braised duck leg. I also bought a lot of spiced beef jerky, waiting to go back and distribute it to others.

I didn't eat a bite of lunch, and the bellies of the master and servant were full.

"Shall we go to West Street to eat?"

Yingzi, who was holding spiced beef jerky, nodded and led the way in front.

Unlike East Street, which is full of life, West Street is obviously much more elegant. There are not as many people on the street as there are on East Street, but they are more upscale than East Street in terms of dress. Even the decoration of the shop is full of literary and artistic atmosphere.

Li Jiangwei, who didn't know anything about incense, casually went to a shop that looked pleasing to the eye, and there were many tools for making and blending incense. After looking at it for a while, I suddenly felt that the jade beads hidden under my clothes were hot. Li Jiangwei was stunned for a moment, and didn't wait for a reaction. I heard the cries of ducks.

"Strange, how can there be ducks?" Yingzi wondered, "It seems to be coming from the door of the store?" ”

Li Jiangwei was also curious about the sound of the ducks, and the two walked out the door. A man was found leading a flock of ducks arguing with the guy in front of the store.

"Go, go! We don't buy ducks here, East Street is in another place! Don't wander around here! ”

"I said I wanted to buy something."

"What can you buy!" With that, the man glanced at the man.

Although I was wearing a coarse cotton coat, the color of the clothes had been washed and somewhat discolored. The hairpin is a hosta, a jade plaque is hung around the waist, and a bamboo flute is sandwiched under the armpit. This kind of not very harmonious and unique dress makes the guy dare not say too heavy words again. I had to change my tone and say, "If you really want to come in, you can't get in." ”

"Why?" The man wondered, "This is my old friend." Why can't you enter? ”

"What if I bump into other guests? No, no......" the man refused.

"Why can't it, they're all pretty well-behaved."

"No just no way!" The guy was embarrassed and said, "I'm not the shopkeeper, and I can't do some things." Otherwise, what would you like to buy? If we have it in our store, take it out for you to see? ”

"Why can't I go in?"

"This .....," the man was anxious, "it's not that we won't let you in, it's that you don't want to let the ducks out." If this duck doesn't follow, it can enter. ”

"I can get in, why can't the ducks get in?"

The guy said helplessly: "If the guest officer insists on letting these ducks in, he can only ask the guest officer to go to another house to have a look." ”

The man scratched his head innocently and said, "My group of ducks recognize people, I'm afraid that you won't be able to watch it if you stay outside." I'd better change it. ”

Yingzi whispered beside Li Jiangwei and said, "This person is really interesting. I've never seen anyone bring a duck to buy incense. ”

"Let's go shopping in another one."

Li Jiangwei, who doesn't know much about incense, is not as enthusiastic as visiting East Street. I didn't buy incense, but I bought two delicate embroidery sachets.

"Is there any teahouse or anything like that?"

Yingzi suddenly replied, "Miss is tired?" If you're tired, there's one not far ahead. Drink tea in the lobby and listen to books! Recently, the book that the teahouse said was changed by a famous person in Chizhou. ”

"How do you know so well?"

Yingzi blushed and said, "When the young lady was resting, the maid went to ask someone else." I heard from them that the shopkeeper wanted to get his manuscript to expand the bookstore's bibliography. ”

"Do you know his name? What has been written? ”

Yingzi smiled sweetly and said proudly: "The maid has inquired clearly!" That person's name is Nian Yi, and he wrote "Xi Dan Swordsman"! ”

I never expected it to be this book!

Li Jiangwei's spirit was lifted and urged: "Take me quickly!" ”

When Li Jiangyun sent a letter to her family before, Li Jiangwei was curious about what kind of story this "Xidan Swordsman" told. can make my sister unforgettable, and even use the protagonist's name on the big white goose.

As soon as I entered the teahouse, I heard deafening applause and applause. There are no empty seats in the lobby on the first floor, and only two private rooms remain on the second floor. The heat in the lobby is enough to prove the fun of this story.

I paid for it and went to the private room, and when I heard it, I heard the sunset. The storyteller's mouth was dry, and the teacups on the table were renewed I don't know how many times.

"How's it to know what's going to happen? Let's listen to the next breakdown! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, many people in the lobby quit.

"What's going on behind that! You'd better hurry up and talk about next time! ”

"No, no." The storyteller shook his head and said, "If I keep talking, my throat will be bad." Aren't you afraid that you won't hear the follow-up tomorrow? ”

Everyone said so, and it was not good to force him to hand over the follow-up. Li Jiangwei listened to it unfinished, and it was a pity. Sitting in the box for a long time, he slowly got up and left.

"Miss? Don't need to eat and go back? ”

Only then did Li Jiangwei realize that she hadn't eaten a single piece of dim sum in the afternoon, and she hadn't even drunk tea, listening to the storyteller intently. Filled with wonderful stories, she really doesn't feel hungry for a while.

"Let's go back."

Li Jiangwei was still counting on going back early so that she could record the stories she heard.
