Chapter 115: Choosing a Gift
The night before the rest, Mingyue found an excuse to return to the Immortal Academy, and the next morning, Mingyue and Nangong Yurou made an appointment to go to Jinlu City to buy what they needed. Nangong Yurou Imperial Sword is not very proficient in flying, so Mingyue deliberately accompanied her to ride the transmission array.
The two met many familiar faces on the transmission array: Nalan Meidai with a cold and arrogant face, Jiang Yiyi with a sour and mean face; likes Mu Xiaotian, who is alone, Han Ruge, who is humorous and funny, and others.
Han Ruge greeted Mingyue happily when she saw her, while Mu Xiaotian just nodded to Mingyue. Although Mingyue and Mu Xiaotian were Dantong in Danmen together, she didn't see him often on weekdays.
Mu Xiaotian was quite talented in alchemy, and he was very appreciated by the Danmen elder Feng Tingcheng, who first asked him to learn the basic alchemy techniques with Wu Buregret.
Nalan Meidai and Jiang Yiyi saw Mingyue, and Nalan Meidai did not have a special attitude towards Mingyue because they had experienced the abduction incident together.
Jiang Yiyi snorted coldly in her nostrils, and her eyes showed a look of jealousy. Mingyue and Nalan Meidai didn't bother to pay attention to them, and took the initiative to sit far away.
When the transmission array was about to be launched, two more people came in: Murong Yiwen and Feng Linchuan, who were fluttering in white. Murong Yiwen saw Mingyue in the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he shouted affectionately to Mingyue from afar: "Senior Sister Mingyue, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you want to go to Jinlu City?" What a coincidence. ”
Jiang Yiyi saw Murong Yiwen, with a surprised expression on her face, and said shyly: "Senior Brother Murong is good, it's good to meet you." ”
Murong Yiwen just nodded lightly at her, and his eyes kept staring at Mingyue, reluctant to move away, and he couldn't see enough.
Mingyue nodded at him and said, "Senior Brother Murong is good." ”
Murong Yiwen stared at Mingyue with burning eyes and said, "We were kidnapped last time, but fortunately we came back safely, it's good." Where are we going? Let's have lunch together at noon? I'm in for a treat. ”
At the Jindan Festival, after Mingyue was kidnapped, he was also in a hurry. Later, when he heard that Ming Yue and Nalan Meidai were rescued safely, he was relieved.
Mingyue said very politely: "Thank you Senior Brother Murong for your concern, we are going to buy some girls' things, so we won't bother Senior Brother Murong." ”
"Is it on Xiandan Street?" Murong Yiwen remembered that Xiandan Street, that is, near the Xiandan Auction House, the street shops were the most complete, and it was the most popular place for disciples: "Linchuan and I are going to the Dan Medicine Auction House to deal with something, can we have dinner together at noon?" ”
Jiang Yiyi showed a jealous expression on her face, she walked up to Murong Yiwen and took his arm with both hands, and asked in a coquettish tone, "Senior Brother Murong, I am also going over there at noon, can I invite you to have lunch together?" ”
Murong Yiwen glanced at Jiang Yiyi's band and mean face, pulled out his arm, and simply refused: "We still have to deal with something, it's not very convenient." ”
Jiang Yiyi glanced at Mingyue resentfully, angry and hateful in her heart, and a feeling called jealousy spread wildly in her heart.
Jiang Yiyi snorted coldly in her heart, unable to hide the disappointment on her face, and said with concern: "Senior Brother Murong has to have lunch no matter how busy he is, so he must take care of his health." In fact, with Murong Yiwen's cultivation, he has already reached the point of not eating the valley, Jiang Yiyi said this, of course, it can show his concern.
The transmission warehouse suddenly quieted down, and soon arrived at Jinlu City, Mingyue took Nangong Yurou's hand and ran out quickly, Murong Yiwen saw the backs of the two of them in the distance, stretched out his hand to stop them and paused.
Jinlu City is as prosperous and lively as ever, the most prosperous Xiandan Street is full of people early in the morning, lively and extraordinary, and the popularity is not worse than the Jindan Festival.
The street sells vegetables, fruits, medicinal herbs, handmade, jade, snacks, calligraphy and paintings, weapons, and even clothes, shoes and hats.
Mingyue and Nangong Yurou were shopping and eating while shopping, and the two of them were very happy, buying a lot of necessary things for girls, such as dirty clothes, belly pockets, menstrual supplies, etc. One of them carried a package on their backs, and they ate while shopping, what wild fruits, mung bean cakes, kebabs, two of them
I can't even walk anymore.
Mingyue was thinking about buying a gift for Feng Tingcheng, so she pulled Nangong Yurou to a shop on the street with "Baoyuxuan" hanging on it. There are two lucky stone lions at the entrance of the shop, which looks luxurious and magnificent, and looks very classy.
The shopkeeper saw two beautiful young girl disciples come in, and hurriedly came over with a smile on his face and greeted him warmly: "What do the two little immortals want?" The small shop specializes in Laokeng ice jade products, self-produced and sold, with high quality and low price, and is the largest jade jewelry merchant in Jinlu City. From wearing to using, from playthings to ornaments, high, medium and low-grade, everything is available, and you are satisfied! ”
Mingyue looked around and saw that all kinds of jade products were divided into categories, which were really dazzling, such as jade pendants, jade bracelets, jade wrenches, jade jue, jade bundle hair, hostas, jade step shakes, jade necklaces, and jade belts; used such as swords, jewelry, jade bowls, jade spoons, jade pots, jade cups, etc.; Ornaments such as jade Buddhas, jade screens, and a variety of jade products are available.
There are many people on the first floor of the store who are choosing jade jewelry, near the back of the store, there are stairs leading to the second floor, and several doors are closed tightly by the stairs.
The shopkeeper looked at Mingyue and looked at the direction of the stairs, and said with a smile: "Two little immortals, the first floor is a medium and high-end jade product, and the second floor is a high-end and top-level jade product. What kind of jade products are you going to buy? ”
Mingyue asked: "I want to choose a jade ornament on this floor, are the jade ornaments here sold separately by men and women or mixed together?" ”
She can't afford the top-notch ones, and she should be able to afford the low-end jade jewelry on this floor.
The shopkeeper asked very politely: "On the left of the shop are men's jade jewelry, and on the right is women's jade jewelry." Do you want a man's or a woman's? ”
Mingyue walked to the men's jade jewelry position on the left to take a closer look, and saw that on the yellow satin, all kinds of jade jewelry were neatly placed, and Mingyue took a fancy to an emerald green hosta at a glance.
Mingyue picked up the hosta, felt that the hand was cold to the bone, the color was bright and dripping, the color was bright and moist like water, the handle of the hosta was simply carved with a winged phoenix, although the carving was simple but very exquisite, Mingyue immediately liked this jasper hairpin.
"Little Shangxian has a good eye!" Seeing Mingyue pick up the hosta, the shopkeeper looked like he couldn't put it down, and introduced with a smile: "This jade species is an ice glutinous species, the color is the most moist and transparent, and it has a cold temperature, which is the best in jade!" You see this carving, it is the most famous master of the small shop carefully made, it is definitely a top jade ornament, and it is the best to give it away. ”
Mingyue held the hosta and asked, "Then how much silver is this hosta?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "The price of the shop is the most fair, you see, this quality, this carving, other shops also cost at least three thousand taels of silver, and the shop only needs two thousand taels of silver You can take it home." ”
Mingyue asked in surprise, "Two thousand taels of silver?" Can you give it a discount, little second brother? ”
After Mingyue bought the Spirit Snake Sword for Lin Tian last time, there were only five hundred taels of silver left. However, she brought two East China Sea polar shell beads over today to see if she could sell the East China Sea polar shell beads and then buy this jasper hairpin.
Nangong Yurou was also choosing men's jade jewelry on the side, and when she heard the words of the shopkeeper, she came over and asked, "Just like that, you still need two thousand taels of silver?" ”
"Two little immortals, please look, there are two or three hundred taels of silver next to it, how does the quality and carving compare with this one? Isn't it a long way off? As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out a few other hostas and compared them to Mingyue and Nangong Yurou: "The jade of the ice glutinous species is not comparable to ordinary jade, this kind of jade basically has its own spirituality, and people with high cultivation can even use it to make magic weapons." ”
Nangong Yurou saw Mingyue's reluctant look, so she asked the shopkeeper: "Little second brother, I see that we are also the disciples of Shushan Immortal Cultivation Academy, and we don't have any silver, can you help me apply for a preferential price?" ”
"This ......" The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and replied: "Wait a minute, the two immortals, the young owner just came over today, I'll go and help you ask." ”
Mingyue pulled the shopkeeper and asked, "Also, little brother, can you help me ask, let's recycle in the store."
Is this kind of East China Sea polar shell beads? After speaking, he took out two East China Sea polar shell beads and handed them to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper is obviously a person who knows the goods, and when he saw the two East China Sea pole shell beads, his eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded and said: "Okay, okay, please trouble Xiao Shangxian to give me the East China Sea pole shell beads first, and I will take them to the Shao Dong family to take a look." ”
Mingyue thanked her, and the shopkeeper carefully held the two East China Sea polar shell beads and hostas on a small plate, and walked towards the door that was tightly hidden by the stairs.
Nangong Yurou asked in a low voice: "It's so expensive, do you really want to buy it?" Did you buy it for your father-in-law? Also, didn't he give a jade pendant? Send him something, too. ”
Mingyue nodded carelessly, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in her heart, she really didn't think about giving a gift to that cheap father-in-law. To be honest, when she thought of the things he had done to her mother, she actually had a lot of opinions about that father-in-law in her heart.
At this moment, Mingyue saw the shopkeeper come out respectfully, and there was a middle-aged man who looked like a steward next to him, but the two were followed by a familiar man in red.
The boy in red was tall and straight, wearing a dark red brocade robe, looking snow-white and handsome, but his face was a little too pale. At this time, his pair of watery peach blossom eyes full of evil charm were looking at Mingyue in surprise, and said with a look of disgust: "Little Moon, is it really?" Hmph, a heartless little thing, the last time I went to save me, but I left me behind and sneaked out to play by myself, it's really not interesting. ”
Mingyue saw that Shui Yanxi's face seemed to be better than the last time she saw her, and said with a smile: "That...... You didn't have a head disease, did you? ”
After the demon Shui Yanxi appeared, the customers who bought things in the store looked at each other frequently, and some female customers even made a appearance with their mouths stammering.
Shui Yanxi said angrily: "Why didn't you commit it?" If you don't commit a crime, you're going to be angry. Don't contact me when you come back, greet me. ”
Mingyue saw that there were more and more people in the store, and said a little embarrassed: "That...... Shui Yanxi, I didn't expect this store to be our family...... We still have to go beforehand. She took Nalan Meidai's hand and was about to walk out.
Nangong Yurou pointed to the jasper hairpin she had just seen and asked, "Hey, don't you want to buy that jasper hairpin for your father-in-law?" ”
Mingyue whispered: "Forget it, I won't buy it." ”
Shui Yanxi said unhappily: "Little Moon, is it because you dislike my son's shop is too small?" ”
Mingyue said embarrassedly: "No, no." ”
Shui Yanxi instructed the steward: "Steward Tong, go and help Xiao Yue wrap up, her two East China Sea polar shell beads are worth three thousand taels of silver, and give her three thousand taels of silver tickets." ”
Steward Tong was stunned for a moment, feeling that Shui Yanxi quoted the price of the East China Sea Pole Shell Bead many times higher. However, he still respectfully handed the three thousand taels of silver ticket to Mingyue, Mingyue took the silver ticket, and was immediately overjoyed, and a little confused: "Shui Yanxi, isn't the hosta two thousand taels of silver, and the two thousand taels of silver ticket just deduct the price of the hosta." After speaking, he took out two thousand taels of silver tickets and stuffed them back into the Tong steward.
The boy steward looked at Shui Yanxi with a blank eye, and Shui Yanxi smiled: "Little Moon, that hosta, if you like it, I'll give it to you." Don't say a jasper hairpin, even if it's this jade shop, I'm willing to give it. ”
Mingyue said: "No, no, no, if you want to send me, I don't want it." ”
Shui Yanxi looked at her for a long time, and when she saw her determined appearance, the expression in her eyes changed, and she sighed and said, "Steward Tong, take the two thousand taels of silver tickets." ”
Mingyue avoided his hot gaze, and the boy steward put the hosta in a small and exquisite box, and opened the box in front of Mingyue, which contained the jasper hairpin.
After Mingyue saw it, he carefully packed it again, and then respectfully handed the box to Mingyue, and Mingyue carefully accepted it.
Someone walked down the stairs and saw Shui Yanxi looking at Mingyue affectionately and talking, and sneered: "Yo, it's going to be good when you come to the store?" ”
