Chapter 150: Xiang City

I didn't change it yesterday.,Today's two chapters together are more ~~~.

From Cui Mingkou, Huaxi knew that the Fu family, the princess of Luoxi, was from the Luoxi Wang clan.

The Fu family once produced a prime minister, three Hanlin, scholars, and poetry heirlooms. Fu and Ouyang Zheng have been married since childhood, married into the Luoxi Mansion ten years ago, and got seriously ill and bedridden for three years. The Ouyang family searched for famous doctors, but in the end, it dragged on for half a year and Xiang Xiaoyu died. Since Fu's death, Ouyang Zheng has not been close to women, and has stayed in Luodong all the year round and has not returned to Beijing. Three years after Fu left, Princess Luoxi wanted to renew Ouyang Zheng, but was rejected by Ouyang Zheng, which shows that Ouyang Zheng and Fu have a deep relationship.

The little joy in my heart just now is gone.

Huaxi pursed her lips lightly, as if mocking, and then sighed lowly, secretly admonishing herself: Hey...... If you are amorous yourself, maybe he is a sullen man, you shouldn't be confused by gifts and plunge into it. Besides, there is no grass at the end of the world, he is a married and widowed person, you are a yellow flower girl, and you don't have to worry about not being able to get married, and you still think about what he does

Mu Xi sighed: "Ouyang Shi looked cold, but he didn't expect that he was still affectionate and righteous, which girl would be blessed to marry him."

Cui Ming smiled and said: "Hehe, there are no longer a few noble girls in the capital who think like you, but Ouyang Shi doesn't move his mind and doesn't pretend." The princess also has no way to take the world...... I don't know who will have that blessing in the future? As he spoke, he glanced at Huaxi with a smile.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Mu Xi followed Cui Ming's eyes, and when he saw that Huaxi didn't belong, he asked, but Huaxi didn't respond, and his hand was still on the wooden carving box and didn't move.

Mu Xi retreated to Huaxi's back and squeezed his eyes at Cui Ming, pointed at Huaxi, opened his mouth, and said silently, "Jealous?" ”

Cui Ming pursed her lips and snickered, and heard Huaxi sigh and say: "The old love is unforgettable, how do you know that you will be blessed to marry him in the future?" ”

As soon as Huaxi looked up, he saw the two of them squeezing their eyebrows, and coughed lightly, "One by one, they don't do business, what are they talking about...... Everything is put away. ”

"Yes" Cui Ming and Mu Xi looked at each other and smiled, their eyes flashed with an ambiguous light, and they were busy with their work.

Hua Xi saw it in her eyes and said helplessly: "Hey, these two guys...... Forget it, the more you explain, the more you misunderstand, and you should stay away from Ouyang Zheng in the future......"

She remembered about the Xiang City and the bidding meeting, "Anyway, Fan Yun is here, Xiang Shi can let him lead the way, as for the bidding meeting, ......"

Huaxi is really tempted, but she doesn't want to have too much intersection with Ouyang Zheng anymore.

The matter of Fan Yun last time was obviously handed over to Ouyang Zheng by King Xin, coupled with the fact that the two met mysteriously and saved people in the Shangjing Restaurant before, Huaxi was sure that there must be some secret connection between Wang and Ouyang Zheng, and he begged King Xin to do something, and King Xin would finally entrust it to Ouyang Zheng.

"Go to the Xiang Market first, and ask Fan Yun in advance about the bidding meeting." Huaxi thought about it secretly, and made up her mind that even if she couldn't go to the bidding meeting, she wouldn't ask Ouyang Zheng.

On the second day, Huaxi called Fan Yun and asked about the Xiangshi and the bidding meeting.

“…… Xiangshi, the small one is familiar, and I used to go to buy spices a few times with the shopkeeper in the shop. Fan Yun paused, "The little ones have also heard about the bidding meeting." The people who enter the market there are all regular customers, and the raw customers must be brought by regular customers, and they must pay a deposit of 5,000 taels before they can enter the market. If you take it after entering, you will deduct the handling fee, and the deposit will be refunded when you leave the stage, and if you don't take it, you will have to deduct 200 taels of admission fee...... Therefore, only wealthy high-rollers can enter. If you want to go into a shop like the small one, you don't have the financial resources to bid, so you can paste two hundred taels for nothing, so it's better to use the money to buy some spices that are easy to sell. ”

Huaxi nodded, it is true...... But on the other hand, it can be seen that the things at the auction must be some rare things.

Huaxi's heart itched even more.

"Do you know whose family did it?"

"It's Xiyue Fang's family. In the early days, only the spice merchants of Xiyue offered fragrant wood, and the merchants of Dahua went to bid. In the past two years, the climate has become the climate, and the spice merchants of Dahua have also begun to provide valuable incense wood and incense utensils, and the participants are not limited to Dahua, but also the merchants of the countries west of the Western Moon and the Eastern Ri Kingdom. ”

Fang family, could it be Fang Liu's family? During the Douxiang Meeting, Yin Chengzong had mentioned to her the status of the Fang family in the Xiyue Spice industry, and eight times out of ten, the main family of this bidding meeting was Fang Liu's family. But Fang Liu left Dahua and returned to Xiyue a few years ago, and now he can't get in touch if he wants to go. After thinking about it, with King Xin's status in Xiyue, he said hello to the Fang family, can't he also go in?

"I don't believe it, without him Ouyang Zheng, he won't be able to enter the bidding meeting?" Huaxi muttered to herself, sent Fan Yun away, and went to find Sukino Shin by herself.

When Susukino Shin heard this, he sent the guards to look for the people of the Fang family with the token. In the evening, Susukino sent a wooden plaque and a stack of silver tickets to Huaxi, and told Huaxi that the bidding meeting was scheduled for the morning after tomorrow in the south of the city.

The next day, Huaxi got up early in the morning and was about to change clothes, when he saw the clothes on the lacquer plate on the table, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Cui Ming explained: "This is the clothes that the prince prepared for you. The prince said that Qizhou is adjacent to Xiyue, and the customs are closer to Xiyue. Clothing can also be worn in both countries, and Xiyue's casual clothes are more convenient to travel, so I have a set for you. ”

Huaxi changed her clothes according to her words, Xiyue women's clothes were similar to Hufu, apricot placket lapel narrow sleeved robe, blue piping embroidered with tangled branch lotus, narrow-mouth pants of the same color, colorful soft brocade boots, brown leather belt tied around the waist, and five colorful small belts in front of the belt were decorated.

Cui Ming combed Huaxi with a snail bun, which just matched the clothes on her body.

This kind of exotic style dress made Huaxi a little brighter, and even Cui Ming and Mu Xi were amazed on the side.

Huaxi went to say hello to Susukino Shin, and after seeing her dress, Sukino Shin nodded and praised: "Hehe, Huaxi is my Xiyue's daughter after all, or Xiyue's clothes are more suitable for you"

Huaxi blushed embarrassedly.

Noburo Susukino laughed twice, and sent four more guards to follow Huaxi to Xiangshi.

The incense market is in the south of Qizhou City, and the young phoenix tower is opposite the incense market.

Entering the incense market, the whole street is lined with mountain sheds set up by various merchants, and the stalls inside are placed with various colors of incense wood and wooden boxes containing spices.

At a glance in Huaxi, most of the stall owners were from Xiyue, with deep eyebrows and broad eyes, different hair colors, wearing Xiyue clothes, and most of the buyers who saw the goods were Chinese.

As soon as Huaxi and the others stopped at the entrance of the market, Fan Yun beckoned a short black-shirted young man next to him to come forward.

Hua Xi looked at the young man through his hat, and Fan Yun whispered beside him: "Xingsi is familiar here, and the little one in front of him is looking for him when the shopkeeper comes." ”

As soon as Fan Yun said it, Huaxi understood that Xingsi was a broker in the market, specializing in helping guests build bridges on the front line.

Xiao Si saluted Huaxi and said, "...... This market is very big, you may not be able to finish shopping in one day, the goods in it are uneven, there is no acquaintance around, and it is very inconvenient to bargain...... The small ones are in the incense market every year, which one has the most complete categories, which one has the most fair price, and the small ones are all clear."

Huaxi smiled and asked, "I want to find something rare, I don't know if the little brother has any good proposals?" ”

Xing Sidao: "In this market, the top spices are taken to the bidding meeting for the master to evaluate and auction, and the market receives people from all over the world. If you want to pick the rare one, you have to wait for the bidding meeting. ”

Huaxi looked at Fan Yun, Fan Yun nodded, indicating that Xiao Si's words were true.

"Which one has a complete range depends on which one."

Huaxi spoke, and Xingsi entered the market with a few people. Fan Yun and Xingsi walked in the front, Mu Xi followed closely by Huaxi's side, and two of the four guards in front and two of them protected Huaxi from others.

Xingsi led Huaxi and the others to two houses, and as he said, there are not many high-grade fragrant trees.

In the first house, Huaxi found a large piece of relatively rare Bili incense. Bi chestnut incense belongs to the fragrance of flowers and trees, also known as Zhan Xiang, born in the high mountains, shaped like a tsubaki, poisonous, and used to make a book shaft, painting shaft, can prevent insects. Huaxi felt that it was rare, so she paid for it.

When I arrived at the second house, Huaxi saw a piece of golden wattle wood fragrance at a glance. Pure gold, fine texture, textured clusters, like a tapestry, with its own fragrance. According to the merchant, it was brought back from the East Japan Province, and it was not taken to the auction because of its small size, so it was put on the stall for sale.

Huaxi looked like it and wanted to go back and make a pillow for Susukino Shin.

Huaxi was just about to pay, when someone suddenly shouted excitedly in Dahua, who was not fluent: "Huh, golden wattle pomegranate wood fragrance? After shopping for a long time, I finally found a good thing. ”

Huaxi was startled, and before she could react, a white shadow had already rushed to the stall and picked up the golden wattle wood incense.

Hua Xi fixed his eyes and saw that the white figure was an alien boy, no wonder the tone sounded a little weird.

The young man had short blond hair, although it was fixed with a silver sapphire inlaid headband, but it looked unkempt and fluffy, like a little lion dog, with a baby face, fair skin, a pair of big aqua blue eyes and round chirping, staring at the golden vitex wood incense in Huaxixiang, his eyes were shining, and he almost didn't drool when he opened his mouth.

"Fan Yun, pay." Huaxi doesn't want the things in her hands to fall into someone else's mouth, even if the other party is a beautiful boy of different races.

Fan Yun paid the shopkeeper, and turned his head to ask the shopkeeper to return the golden wattle wood incense.

"Oh, wait," the young man hugged the golden wattle wood incense, like a hen protecting food, and glared at the shopkeeper, "I haven't bid yet, why did you sell it to others?" ”

"Everything comes first. My girl took this piece first, and was about to pay, when you suddenly rushed over and shouted, holding the fragrant wood and not letting go. Mu Xi said to the young man, "Fan Yun, don't take the fragrant wood back yet."

Fan Yun went up to fight with the blonde boy, and the two twisted into a ball, and the boy just didn't let go.

Huaxi couldn't, and motioned to the guards next to her to go up and help. The guard lifted the young man's collar and grabbed his armpits, and the young man's feet were free, and he screamed in pain, and let go of his hands, and the guard let go of his hands and set him aside. Fan Yun staggered back two steps and sat on the ground with the golden wattle pomegranate wood incense.

"Hey, you bully" As soon as the guard let go, the young man turned around and hugged the guard and shouted, "Big brother, big brother help"

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't know which one the teenager had made trouble. Then, I saw a tall, brown-haired alien man stretch out his hand and pat the guard on the shoulder. The guard was short, and it was obvious that the palm was very powerful, and he grabbed Han's arm with his backhand and turned around, and the two became confrontational.

The blonde boy let go the moment the man struck, and was dragged past the guard.

"Fili, you're in trouble again?" Huaxi was attracted by this male voice, it was very pleasant, gentle like a warm spring breeze, not as low as Ouyang Zheng.

Thinking of Ouyang Zheng again in an instant, Huaxi shook her head secretly, not letting herself think nonsense, and hurriedly focused her attention on the person who came.

I saw a man with a long figure pulling the blonde boy and whispering something in a language that Huaxi couldn't understand. The man has golden hair, different from the young man's lion head, his hair looks very soft, like golden satin draped over his shoulders, and he also wears the same headband as the young man, the same hair color, the same blue eyes as the sky, and there is a bit of similarity between the eyebrows, and the two are brothers at a glance. But the temperaments of the two are diametrically opposed, if the blonde boy just now is like a blazing sun, then the man in front of him is like a gentle moonlight. Standing in the crowd, it will never be overlooked.

After the man and the boy finished speaking, they raised their heads and apologized, "I'm sorry." My brother is young and willful, and he has just offended a lot, please forgive me" The voice is still as warm as water.

"It's okay. If it's okay, we'll take our leave. ”

"Slow"

Huaxi frowned, "Is there anything else?" ”

The man smiled lightly, "My name is Leyi, and my brother's name is Fili, and he is from Zhinan. My mother is from Dongri, and my brother and I traveled to Xiyue this time, and I heard that Dahua Qizhou Xiang City may find golden wattle pomegranate incense, so I hurried here and wanted to bring back a piece to give to my mother, so just now Filip offended the girl...... I wonder if the golden wattle wood fragrance in the girl's hand can be wanted? I'm willing to pay double the price. ”

Huaxi was embarrassed, Zhinan was west of Xiyue, far away from Dahua, the two brothers went to Qizhou to find fragrant wood, and their filial piety was commendable...... It's just that I chose this fast fragrant wood, and I planned to send a soothing wood incense pillow to my father.

Mu Xi had a bad impression of the blonde boy, and when he heard Le Yi say this, he hurriedly said: "My girl chose this piece of fragrant wood to give to Wang ...... My lord's. ”

"This ......," Le Yi sighed in disappointment and rubbed Fili's hair, "Let's look elsewhere." ”

Hua Xi looked at Fan Yunhuai's golden wattle wood incense, thought about it, and said: "Golden wattle wood fragrance is an excellent material for making incense pillows and tabletops. The incense pillow made is better than agarwood and sandalwood, and this fragrant wood material can make two incense pillows, and I can let you have one. I don't know what happens under public opinion? ”

Without waiting for Le Yi to speak, Filip jumped over, his eyes widened, looked at Huaxi and said, "You can't regret what you said."

"Fili" Le Yi pulled Filip and owed to Huaxi, "I'm sorry, my brother hasn't been to Dahua, I don't know how many Dahua gifts thank the girl for her kindness, I don't know when and where I can find the girl to get the incense pillow?" ”

"You tell my attendant the address, and I'll send someone to send it to you when the pillow is ready."

Le Yi thanked him repeatedly.

Huaxi Road didn't need it, and when he was leaving, he suddenly remembered something, and turned to Le Yi and said: "The day after tomorrow, there will be a bidding meeting in the Xiaofeng Building, maybe there will be a large piece of golden wattle wood incense on it." ”

After speaking, Huaxi and the others left Xiangshi.

Le Yi looked at the direction Huaxi left and thought thoughtfully.

Filip frowned and asked, "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, are you still watching when the people are gone?" Could it be that the woman in the hat is a beauty? ”

Le Yi shook his head, with a smile on the corner of his lips, "Xiyue's wedding team arrived in Qizhou three days ago...... Do you think she could be the daughter that King Shin had just recognized? ”

Fili was puzzled, "Why not the princess or the maid who accompanied her?" ”

"The guard next to the woman is from Xiyue, but the maid and entourage are Chinese. Will the Great Chinese use Xiyue Guards when traveling in their own places? Besides, didn't her maid say that the incense pillow was given to her master. Le Yi touched Filip's head again, "Let's go, go and inquire about the Fragrance Competition." Since you're here, you have to find a way to go in and have a look. ”

……

Huaxi left Xiangshi and took the car back to the post house. When I got off the bus at the door, I met the King of Thailand and his entourage who came out of the post house.

Although he didn't like the King of Thailand, Huaxi still gave Yin Yuanye a salute.

"Is Huaxi going out alone?" Yin Yuanye asked.

Huaxi didn't know why, "Yes." ”

The sound of carriages and horses behind him came, Huaxi looked back, Ouyang Zheng got off the horse, and a woman wearing a hat walked down from the carriage behind him, and from the figure it seemed to be the same person as the palace girl she saw in the Lingzhou incense shop last time.

Yin Yuanye understood, and said with a low smile: "I also said that I went out to accompany you, but it turned out that I went to accompany Miss Fu San." Judging from this situation, when she arrived in the Xiyue Royal Capital, she was afraid that the name of the third girl Fu would be removed from the list of marriages. It's been a long time since the Locky Mansion had a happy event, hehe"

Huaxi didn't believe Yin Yuanye's words, but when she saw the woman walking up to Ouyang Zheng and talking, her heart couldn't help but be sour, when did she start caring about his every move? Fortunately, in a few months, I won't see him again, so I can forget about it quickly.

"Xuan." Yin Yuanye walked away from Huaxi and greeted Ouyang Zheng.

When Ouyang Zheng dismounted, he saw Yin Yuanye talking to Huaxi outside the post house, his brows frowned almost imperceptibly, and when he saw him come forward, he arched his hand, "His Royal Highness the King of Thailand"

"Miss Fu San." Yin Yuanye said hello to the woman next to Ouyang Zheng, "Where did you come back?" ”

The third girl Fu blessed Yin Yuanye, "The princess needs some rouge gouache, and others are afraid that it will not be in line with His Highness's wishes, so they will send slaves and maids out to buy." ”

The King of Thailand smiled: "Oh? When will Xuan also become a flower messenger? Don't worry about the girl going out alone, right? ”

Miss Fu San lowered her head.

Ouyang Zheng replied: "The princess is worried about Miss Fusan, so she ordered me to accompany her." ”

Glancing at the gate of the post house unintentionally, Huaxi was standing there steadily, even through the hat, Ouyang Zheng felt that she was looking here. Looking at the smiling King of Thailand and Fu San beside him who didn't say a word and lowered his head, Ouyang Zheng couldn't help frowning.

Yin Yuanye chuckled, ignored Ouyang Zheng's explanation, and grabbed his arm, "Third Miss Fu, borrow Xuanyi." Let's go, Xuan will accompany me on a trip to the camp in Qizhou. ”

Before Ouyang Zheng came back to his senses, the King of Thailand pulled him away. Ouyang Zheng couldn't, and looked back at the gate of the post house again, Huaxi's figure had disappeared.

The king of Thailand called twice in front of him, and Ouyang Zheng retracted his gaze in amazement, beat his horse and left the post house. ()
