When the team set off on the second day, Heng Yuanba and Tao Yao came to resign, and they decided to go to Daishan to retreat and practice!

Dredging Tong doesn't care!

King Zhao learned that the national teacher taught his son a set of immortal formulas, and he didn't close his eyes all night!

He was afraid that others would know that his eyes were red, and he didn't dare to show off, his son wanted to escape from the world and cultivate, and he also raised his hands in agreement!

The troops set off again, and the rest of the journey went smoothly, and finally arrived at a majestic city in the evening!

This place is a border city at the junction with Beirong, and the city guards opened the city gate early and waited by the roadside!

After entering the city, the group was arranged in a palace in the city!

It is said that it was built by the Emperor Taishang back then, and before it was completed, he was demented, and the king of Zhennan was afraid that he would not be able to convince the public, so he would not leave the capital easily!

Only a few people are left for daily maintenance of this palace, and Hengxuan and his party are the first to move in!

Dredging is naturally the largest and best yard!

That night, a banquet was held, and Shutong was really impatient to listen to the flattery of the officials and eat in his own courtyard!

Although she is the only one, there are still all kinds of delicacies on the table, most of which are local specialties, mostly meat, but also have a unique flavor!

After dinner, Hongxia came in excitedly, "Master, do you think this is beautiful?" ”

She was holding a tray in her hand, and it was as colorful as a cloud!

But it is a ball of light yarn, unfolded, like the clouds on the horizon, light and gorgeous gauze scarves, embroidered with gold and silver threads to create beautiful pictures, dizzying!

Shu Tong nodded secretly, "It's pretty beautiful, where did it come from?" ”

Hongxia smiled, "On the way into the city, the slaves and maids saw women all over the street, all wearing this beautiful scarf on their heads, just now I asked Xiao Luzi to buy it on the street, the master likes it!" ”

A total of square scarves were brought, and the four colors were exquisite and gorgeous!

Shutong did notice that the dress of the people in the border city was not small from the capital!

It seems that women like to wear heavy makeup and gorgeous clothes!

Some women who walk alone should be ordinary women, and they are also dressed up brightly, and almost all women will wear such a beautiful veil!

"The master likes it too, the slave puts it on for you, how about trying it?" Seeing Hongxia's excited face, Shu Tong was a little moved!

At this time, the second master was outside the door and replied, "Master! The little one has something for you! ”

Hongxia hurriedly opened the door, but saw the second master coming in with a group of people holding seven or eight trays.

"These are small ones that are bought on the street, and they are all kinds of clothes that are unique to the local area!"

Hongxia was pleasantly surprised, "It's still Steward Tang's thoughtfulness, and his vision is good!" ”

But it turned out that the second master brought not only beautiful veils, but also local special clothing!

The second master glanced at her, and he was a little more tender than this little girl, serving the master, and naturally all aspects must be prepared!

"These are clothes, this is jewelry, and these, these are the veils that local women must wear, this city is windy and sandy, and women are used to wearing a scarf at home or out!"

"Don't look at this small side, this embroidery is very laborious, but it's not cheap!"

Although he had only just arrived in the border city, he had already inquired about the local customs and habits!

"This thing is not only a woman's clothing, but also a family property, even a poor family, and you must do your best to buy a dress for your daughter, otherwise the woman has the best character, and no one wants to marry!"

Hongxia exclaimed, "If the poor can't eat, do you want to buy this?" ”

The second master smiled, "The poor have the way of the poor!" The rich people's costumes are naturally as gorgeous as possible, embellished with gold wire, silver thread, and jewelry! ”

"This poor family uses ordinary silk thread, although it looks similar, but the price is very different! In addition, local women have learned embroidery since childhood, and these are made by themselves, and they can also be sold to support their families! ”

Hongxia nodded, Xiao Luzi bought a few things that are beautiful enough, and then look at the two masters brought back even more gorgeous!

The costumes are very different from those in the Central Plains, and the cuffs of the placket are decorated with various colored gemstones, which is extremely dazzling!

"It's so beautiful, the slave and maid dress up for the master, let's go shopping on the street, okay?"

Shutong is still worried about learning two whips, and some can't make up their minds!

The second master smiled, "The master should go to the street for a stroll, the customs here are completely different from the capital, and there are mostly women on the street!" ”

Shu Tong was surprised, he has been here for a few years, and he can feel that men are inferior here!

Although she is above mortals and is not restricted, most women still rarely go out, unless they are running for life, and they have no choice but to show up!

The second master talked eloquently, "When I followed Emperor Taizu to fight the country, after the world was settled, there was a person who volunteered to stay in the border town to guard the country, and Emperor Taizu was named the Wing King, and this place was his fiefdom!" ”

"The city lords of the past generations are the descendants of the Wing King, but the descendants of the Wing King are difficult, and this generation of the city lord is a woman, and there is only one daughter under her knees!"

"Two successive generations of city lords are women, and the status of women in this city has been greatly improved!"

Hongxia exclaimed again, "Can a woman also be a city lord and a prince?" ”

The second master said with a smile, "Before the king of Zhennan troubled the dynasty, he had already cut the title of the king of wings, but this Xin family has been entrenched in the border city for several generations and is very prestigious, and the city lord is still her family!" ”

Shu Tong nodded, and suddenly doubted, the purpose of Hengxuan's trip was to take back this city by the way?

She doesn't want to pursue these political issues more!

But he saw that the second master lowered his voice quite mysteriously, "The little one is wandering outside, but he has listened to a few gossips!" ”

"What gossip?" Hongxia asked quickly, and it was also the master's always generous that she dared to interject a few times!

The second master also wants to show off, after all, the master also likes to listen to some gossip and gossip!

At the moment, he said, "The only daughter of the city lord of Xin is eighteen, and she has a long flower and moon appearance, I don't know how many suitors there are, but the city lord has no intention of recruiting a son-in-law for her!" ”

"I heard that I plan to send this beauty to the palace to accompany the king!"

"Oh?" Shu Tongqi said, "Her family plans to give up this side of the city?" ”

The second master laughed, "It shouldn't be!" It is said that the city lord himself recruited a pretty man, and planned to have another son and a half daughter, and continue to inherit the Xin family! ”

Shu Tong blinked, "This is to give up the eldest daughter, could it be that there are any family grievances in it?" ”

The second master smiled, "It's hard to say, the Xin family's heirs are difficult, even if they give birth to a daughter, they will also be raised like a baby, recruit for her, and continue the incense!" ”

"This Xin City Lord is also the same husband, she only has one daughter after marriage, her family has always had a thin heir, and she also loves her daughter in every way!"

"It's a pity that her ex-husband committed an accident, annoyed her, and was kicked out of the house by her with a letter of resignation!"

"Leave the book?" Hongxia exclaimed again, "I've never heard of a woman divorce her husband, this female city lord is really powerful!" ”

Shu Tong sneered, "Men can divorce women, and women can naturally divorce men, what did he do to make the female city lord make a big move?" ”

The second master laughed and said, "This is not a secret, the little one specially inquired, it is said that the son-in-law is not willing to be lonely, hooked up in the city lord's mansion, and was caught and raped by the city lord on the spot, naturally he can't tolerate him!" ”
