Chapter 77: Return to East Dragon City (II)
After the carriage entered the city, he went straight to the east of the city, and soon came to the door of the Chengdong Chamber of Commerce, asked for two upper rooms, settled the carriage and horses, and took Yan Ziyue out for a stroll.
"Father-in-law, the flower print of this cloth is so beautiful, how did you print it?" Yan Ziyue walked to one of the largest cloth trading houses, and the dazzling array of patterns and textures of cloth in front of her were all smacking.
Yan Li looked at Yan Ziyue, and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, can you have ready-to-wear"?
"Of course there is, the two upstairs please, we are all tailor-made here, but there are also some ready-to-wear, you may wish to take a look", the shopkeeper saw that Yan Li and Yan Ziyue had an extraordinary temperament, and then looked at the two of them The dress is also exquisite and high-quality, so he went out of the counter and personally led the two upstairs.
Yan Ziyue looked at the various dresses with different styles and exquisite cuts upstairs, her eyes were straight, she took a random one and looked at it, and sighed that Fengdu's dress was quite conservative, and there were not many styles, but there was such a fashion in this border town, look at this dress, it was simply human body shaping.
"Yue'er, just pick whatever you like", he looked at it from the side.
"Okay...", Yan Ziyue was overjoyed when she heard this, and looked at several sets of women's clothes and several men's clothes that she could wear, then looked back at the shopkeeper and said, "Can I have a place to try it?"
"This...", the shopkeeper is a little embarrassed, the general guests are tailor-made, and the clothes are taken away directly after they are done, and the fitting really hasn't been thought about.
"How can there be no place to try on, otherwise how will I know if I am dressed appropriately"? Yan Ziyue looked at the shopkeeper and said.
"The little boy is right, we have written it down, and we will definitely build a place to try on clothes when we go back", the shopkeeper humbly accepted.
"Also, how can there be no mirror for fitting clothes, there should also be a person-high floor-to-ceiling mirror, so that the person who fits on clothes can see what they will look like after wearing it."
The shopkeeper nodded again and again when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The little boy is really awake with a word, and the villain has been taught, so that the clothes chosen by the little boy today, we will calculate the price for you ninety percent."
"Then thank you to the shopkeeper," Yan Ziyue said with a smile.
The shopkeeper looked at Yan Ziyue in front of him, she looked like a girl, her skin was delicate, and her body was thin, but she was free and easy between her gestures, and her temperament was extraordinary.
"Father-in-law, do you want a few sets of men's clothes here", Yan Ziyue looked at the bearded man and said.
"Okay, you can watch and help me choose."
"Hmm...", Yan Ziyue looked at every set of ready-to-wear clothes, and finally picked a set of women's dresses and three sets of men's clothes that matched her figure, and helped Yan Li pick out two sets of men's clothes, and looked at the shopkeeper and said: "Uncle shopkeeper, you just said that the clothes I chose can be given to me at ninety percent price, I won't mean this time, I can plan to come often?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he thought that this little boy had a lot of business minds, and his face showed appreciation, and he stepped forward with a smile and said: "This store will always be ninety percent of the price for the little boy."
"Okay, let's choose these today", Yan Ziyue's eyelashes curled, her eyes blinked, and she was ready to follow the shopkeeper downstairs to settle the bill.
"Yue'er, why don't you pick a few more sets"?
"Father-in-law, don't we have to pass by when we come back, now there are too many picks, and it's not easy to take wow."
"Yue'er is right".
After Yan Li and Yan Ziyue settled the account, they troubled the shopkeeper to arrange for someone to send them to the residence of the Chengdong Chamber of Commerce, and then went shopping again.
On Chengdong Street, Yan Li followed behind Yan Ziyue, watching her look around with great interest, selecting all kinds of items, with a bright smile on her face, and her heart was very comfortable.
The two of them walked around until sunset before returning to the Chengdong Chamber of Commerce, and asked people to deliver the food to their rooms, so they wanted to take Yan Ziyue back to the room, and bumped into a familiar face at the corner of the upstairs, if I am not mistaken, this person is the person who came to Fengdu to find him, named Su Yi, who is the house slave of Su Ke, the Taifu of Xiaoyao Kingdom.
Zhan Li and Su Yi passed by, and after a moment of eye contact, Zhan Li could see that Su Yi's expression was very anxious but also very helpless, and he did not clearly indicate his identity for a while, and after returning to the room, he thought about it, is he waiting for himself.
After dinner, Yan Li sent Yan Ziyue back to the room, and asked people to prepare hot water for her to send to the room so that she could bathe, and he came to the cabinet in the hall on the first floor, and asked Su Yi about the head of the cabinet, knowing that he came here five days ago, and he never left, leaving early and returning late every day, as if he was waiting for someone, he was even more sure that he was waiting for himself, asked his room number, and went to the room to find him.
He tapped the door a few times and stood in front of the door waiting.
"Who"? As soon as Su opened the door, he saw Zhan Li in disguise, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"You're Su Yi"?
"It's down there," Su replied after being stunned.
"Can I go in and talk"?
"Oh... Noble, please...", Su leaned over and stepped in.
Zhan Li sat down directly at the table, Su Yi came over and sat down on the side, poured a cup of tea for Zhan Li and said: "Nobleman, I am presumptuous, I have never known a noble person, and I hope to ask for advice."
"Detachment".
Su Yi listened to it one by one, stood up, and looked at Zhan Li again, it really didn't look like it, but he heard it right, the other party clearly said that it was called Zhan Li, but the high priest Zhan Li didn't look like this.
"You haven't left Huofeng, are you waiting for me?" He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Su Yi hesitated for a while, but he didn't dare to believe it easily, so he had to look at Yan Li and say nothing.
He knew that Su Yi didn't dare to confirm his identity, so he took out a jade plate that could prove his identity, a piece of mutton fat jade with a whole body white, engraved with a gold-plated word "sacrifice" on one side, and a fire phoenix with wings spread on the back.
Su Yi only dared to confirm the identity of Zhan Li when he saw the jade plate, and bowed his hand and said, "I am waiting for the high priest."
"Why"?
"Before leaving, the master of my house explained that he must take the high priest to the free country."
"Oh... Then you are waiting here because you are afraid that I will not come?"
"Of course not, since the high priest agreed, I believe that he will not break his promise, I have passed the news to my master, and Su Yi is here to guide the high priest."
"Is it?", Yan Li squinted at Su Yi, and when he saw his calm face, he didn't ask any more.
Zhan Li got up and was about to leave, turned his head to look at Su Yi and asked, "If I don't come to meet you today, what should you do?"
Su Yi smiled awkwardly and said: "Don't hide it from the high priest, I am familiar with the guard commander who guards the city gate, and I have been guarding the city gate for the past few days, thinking that the high priest will be able to know when he comes, but who knows...", the words that were not said later, the meaning could not be clearer, I didn't expect the high priest to enter the city in disguise, how can I recognize it, Wow, it's not that I didn't come back until dark.
Zhan Li smiled slightly, looked at Su Yi's tired face and said, "Have a good rest, set off early tomorrow morning", and left Su Yi's room after speaking.
"Yes, High Priest", Su Yi had a feeling that he could see the moon and the clouds, and he was finally able to sleep peacefully, and he came out for a while, and he was really a little homesick.
Yan Li came to the door of Yan Ziyue's room, knocked on the door and saw that no one answered, after waiting for a while, he couldn't wait anymore, as soon as his palm was forced, the door opened, and Yan Li came in with a step, and saw that Yan Ziyue was already asleep in a thin light clothes and hugged the quilt, a white leg was on the outside of the quilt, and the corners of his mouth twitched, a little embarrassed. After struggling for a while, he approached, held Yan Ziyue's ankle, put her legs back in the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt for her, smiled slightly, withdrew softly, closed the door, and the door bolt was buckled from the inside, and then he went back to his room.
The prosperity of Donglong City is not inferior to Fengdu, especially at night. Leaning in front of the window, looking at the brightly lit street in front of him, there are many shops along the street that have not yet closed, it can be seen that the safety and security in the city is very good, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, I can't help but think of the scene when I came last time, it has been almost ten years, the change is really great, just by the current situation of the people in this East Dragon City, it can be known, so the people must be fine, which makes people feel very relieved.
Early the next morning, Su Yi packed up his bags early and waited in the hall on the first floor, when he saw Yu Li and a young man coming down, he hurriedly greeted him, looked at Yan Ziyue and asked, "This is"?
"Moon Child, my righteous son", Yu Li explained, as if it were true.
"In Xia Suyi, I have seen Yue Gongzi".
"Why should Brother Su be polite", Yan Ziyue naturally declined Su Yi's salute.
"Let's have some breakfast first", Yu Li chose a table to sit down, and asked the shopkeeper to serve some rice dumplings and porridge for breakfast.
After breakfast, outside the door of the Chamber of Commerce, the shopkeeper brought the carriage and horses over and handed them to Yu Li's hand and said: "Nobleman, the horses have been fed, and the food you ordered has been put into the car, please check."
"Hmm...", Yu Li casually gave the shopkeeper a tael of silver as a reward, and the shopkeeper happily took it and retreated.
"High priest, I'll drive", Su Yi said and walked to the front of the car.
"Hmm... There is labor", Zhan Li no longer shirked, and at this moment he just went back to the carriage to make up for sleep.
Yan Ziyue entered the carriage with Yan Li, found a comfortable position to lean on, and in a blink of an eye, the carriage had already left Donglong City and went all the way to the east.
Yan Ziyue glanced at Tan Li, who closed her eyes and recuperated, got up and lifted the curtain to sit next to Su Yi, and asked, "Brother Su, is this going to Xiaoyao Country?"
"Yue Gongzi, I can't help it, how dare I be your eldest brother, you still call me Su Yi directly, we are already in the realm of Xiaoyao Country at this time."
"Oh... Then I'll call you Brother Su, I don't know your identity yet, are you..."?
"I am from the Mansion of Master Su Ke of Xiaoyao Kingdom, my father is the chief steward of Su Mansion, I grew up in Su Mansion since I was a child, and this is also my first time in Huofeng Country."
"Then Brother Su, where is Su Mansion, what kind of place is Xiaoyao Country, why did your Mrs. Su invite us to come?"
Su Yi was opened by Yan Ziyue, Yan Ziyue asked questions one by one, Su Yi told everything he knew, the two chatted happily, making the originally somewhat boring journey more fun, Zhan Li was not asleep in the car, listening to the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but smile slightly, more thinking about what Su Ke was so eager and solemn to invite himself to come to the leisure, and what exactly did the reluctant invitation mentioned in his heart mean? It seems that he only knew when he met Su Ke in Xiaojing, who was in the free country.
