As soon as you enter the East Market, the noise comes from all directions, noisy and lively.

Wan Lu sat beside the coachman, and did not forget to tell Ran Yan what he saw and heard from time to time, "Lady, the lady of Chang'an really doesn't wear a power fence."

"The nobles of the family still have to wear drapes or veils, they don't look good to hide, and the good-looking ones must keep them fresh, and they don't have anything to do all day long, but they have a lot of tricks to play." Ran Yun said disdainfully.

Ran Yun is a pragmatic person, in her eyes, the noble girl of the family is not as attractive as selling tofu flowers on the street.

The corners of Ran Yan's lips raised, Ran Yun, this little girl, should be called "angry youth" in future generations. treats dissatisfied things with extreme ridicule and sarcasm.

The carriage stopped in front of Linlangzhai, and Ran Yun and Ran Yan got off the car before and after.

Standing on the street, you can see the streets straight, the shops are lined up, and you can see the tall walls of the East Market from here.

As in the streets, there are drainage ditches on both sides of the street. A seven-foot-wide walkway is also laid on the outside of the ditch to make it easier for customers to walk. The crowd came and went on the street, and from time to time someone looked at Ran Yun and Ran Yan.

"Let's go see the finished jade product first, and then go shopping later." Ran Yun said as she walked inside, "Actually, there is nothing good to visit in the East Market, it is better to visit the West Market, where businessmen from all over the world gather, and they can often find good ones." ”

In layman's terms, the West Market is a combination of ordinary and international trade, while the East Market is a high-end market, a place to sell luxury goods. Ran Yan smiled faintly, someone like Ran Yun who can make a careful budget, will definitely not buy it easily in the East Market.

As soon as the two of them led their respective maids into the door, a small servant greeted them, saw Ran Yun, and hurriedly saluted, "The lady is here, the shopkeeper has gone out to do something, and the little one has been waiting." ”

"Well, go to the workshop." Ran Yun said.

The store is about 100 square meters, and there is a staircase leading to the second floor on the north wall. On the first floor, there are already many guests who are selecting jade, and each of the two or three guests has a small house in front of them to introduce the new jewelry.

The little guy secretly glanced at Ran Yan, was stunned for a moment, then shrunk his neck slightly, didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly led the way to the workshop behind the storefront.

"Without my guidance, no one is allowed to enter my private workshop, and neither can my brother," Ran Yun turned his head and instructed the little guy behind him.

The little servant hurriedly responded, "Shilang is the rule of a lady." ”

Once inside, there was a clanging sound.

There were a total of four rooms for processing jade, and Ran Yun led Ran Yan to the innermost one.

The room was surprisingly clean, save for the jade crumbs being carved. In a small room, there are two jade workers about forty years old who are carving, and there is a huge piece of Lantian jade, which is the one that Ran Yan gambled on.

When the two saw Ran Yun coming in, they put down their work and stood up, "Lady." ”

"This is the seventeenth mother of the family." Ran Yun briefly introduced.

Yugong and Ran Yan met each other, and Ran Yun couldn't wait to show her the masterpieces of the past half a month.

Lantian jade, which was originally more than two feet, was carved into an oval fish tank, which has not yet been completed, but it can already be seen that the prototype is carved, and the branches and peonies are carved around the pot, and the flowers are full and realistic, and the shapes are different, and the branches and vines sometimes bear bright and round beads. The peony flowers are mainly concentrated on one side, and the further you go to the other side, the fewer they are.

Ran Yun proudly put her hand into the tank, and motioned to Ran Yan to look at the empty side and said, "See it." ”

Ran Yan bent down slightly, and actually saw Ran Yun's hand clearly

"This piece of Hetian jade is the best here, but it is curved and flaked, so I thought of this method." Ran Yun withdrew his hand and pointed to a one-foot-tall statue on the shelf, holding the Lantian jade ornament of the pine crane, "The piece dug out of the fish tank was carved into a pine crane to prolong the years." ”

A few small pieces of Lantian jade, some were carved into exquisite jewelry heads, some were carved into round and full longevity peach, the exquisiteness of the handiwork, is beyond the reach of most jade carving craftsmen in later generations.

One of its jade workers took down a small box from the shelf next to it, "Lady, the small piece you let you make is ready." ”

Ran Yun took it, opened it and glanced at it, and said happily, "Master Chen's craftsmanship is really amazing" After that, he turned to Ran Yan and said, "These are our white little things, you can also pick a few."

It is rare for the iron rooster to pluck his feathers in pain, and Ran Yan will definitely not be polite, and look inside the box. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, those jades were handed over to Ran Yun, but they were not wasted at all

Inside are the remnants of the best Lantian jade carving, which has been made into many small pieces, including fan pendants, hairpins, earrings and various pleasing small jade pendants. Ran Yan was attracted by a small bracelet that was almost transparent, and it was strung with jade beads the size of mung beans, like drops of dew, and there were short green tassels on the edges, which was very cute.

"That's it." Ran Yan pointed to the bracelet.

Ran Yun took it out, handed it to Ran Yan, and said, "This is the best string of jade, but it's too small, and this is for you." Take the best two, and the rest will be mine. We have three or seven cents for the money of selling large items, I have spent a lot of effort, I take seventy percent, like? ”

As she spoke, she put an emerald jade cicada in Ran Yan's hand.

"No, I just need these two." Ran Yan refused, she actually didn't come out, even the capital was Ran Yunsheng's, she just spent a little effort to win these few rough stones, and it was not too small to get these two as a reward.

Ran Yun suddenly smiled brightly, "Then I'm welcome, when you get married, I'll let Aya give you a big gift"

Ran Yan smiled, he was really an iron rooster, and he still loved someone else's, and he took advantage of it.

In fact, even if Ran Yan really took the thirty percent, it would not be an exaggeration, but at the moment, those who live in other people's homes and eat other people's people, Ran Yan naturally won't care too much about this, and besides, that money is chicken ribs in Chang'an, not too much, not even a palm-sized place can be bought, and it is not a lot to say less, but it can provide food and drink for a year or two without worry.

Ran Yan put the jade bracelet on his wrist, and Cui Chan handed it to Wan Lu casually, turning to Ran Yun and saying, "Let's go." ”

Ran Yun also faintly heard Ran Yunsheng's voice, so she didn't stay in the workshop, put down the box in her hand, and walked out with Ran Yan.

"Ten Brothers...... Pingkangfang, where Xiao Langjun lives, is far away from here, and he doesn't skip words.

As soon as I went out, I heard Ran Meiyu's soft inquiry.

"Not far away, out of the west gate of the East City is Pingkangfang." Ran Yunsheng replied gently.

Ran Yun snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Xiao Shilang went to the court at two o'clock on the fifth watch, went to the official office to inspect things, and didn't return to the house until the evening, if you want to visit him, I'm afraid you have to go late at night." ”

Ran Meiyu's face was red and black for a while, so wonderful, "You girl with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, you deserve no one to propose"

At the moment, the atmosphere was tense, looking at Ran Yun's posture, it seemed that the two were about to fight, but Ran Yunsheng was not worried at all, he knew this too well.

"Ran Meiyu, you remember it for me" Ran Yun weighed the pros and cons in her heart, and then put down this sentence fiercely.

Ran Yun's train of thought is: I feel that if I get injured later, I will suffer again, and I will spend medicine money, and I will hurt Ran Meiyu, and it will still cost her family's money, and I will have to be taught a lesson by Aya when I turn back...... It's better to avoid its edge first, find a suitable opportunity to take revenge, and most importantly, not spend money.

Ran Yunsheng looked at Ran Yan and said, "The front is a cloth village and an embroidery village, in a few days, on the birthday of the old Zheng family, my mother may take a few of you to cut new clothes." ”

"Which Zheng family?" Ran Yun was surprised.

Ran Yunsheng said, "Zheng Rentai, the general of the Right Military Guard." He looked at Ran Yan and said, "This is your uncle."

Zheng Rentai was originally a native of the Qin Dynasty and one of the pioneers of the Xuanwumen coup. Now that he is a knight and a duke, it can be said that he is Li Shimin's confidant Ran Yan knew about this person, but she never thought that it was her uncle. However, think about it, Zheng Rentai is a concubine, and her mother is a concubine, so I'm afraid the relationship is not too close.

Ran Yunsheng's topic quickly diverted the attention of several people, Ran Yan's heart moved, the Zheng family in Xingyang is a big family, there must be many officials in Chang'an, and she remembers that there is also a Zheng Renji...... No, although Zheng Renji and Zheng Rentai have similar names, they are actually different branches of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, but they can also have some relationship with each other, and there is ...... Concubine Zheng Xian

According to historical records, Zheng was named a virtuous concubine in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, and before that he was Zheng Cairen. It's only been 11 years now......

This incident seems to have opened a gap in Ran Yan's current predicament, and there is a feeling that another village has suddenly opened up.

Zheng, this is her mother's greatest inheritance, and it's okay to borrow it.

Ran Meiyu was mixed with joy and sorrow, but in the end it was replaced by irrepressible excitement, General Youwuwei, it sounds like his official position is very high, if he has a birthday, Xiao Song will definitely go to congratulate him on his birthday

Ran Yun is also a little happy, doing business with multiple contacts is equivalent to one more way to make money.

Several people had different thoughts, but they all went to Buzhuang happily.

Out of Linlangzhai, Ran Yunsheng got into the carriage again.

Standing here, you can see the banner of Buzhuang, and you can also walk these few steps, Ran Yan wondered, why did Ran Yunsheng choose to get on and off the carriage so troublesomely.

Although he was puzzled, Ran Yan still followed and got into the car.

The carriage only needed to arrive at the gate of the cloth village, and they arrived at the same time as another oil-walled incense car, surrounded by curtains hanging down, the incense wind was wafting, and Ran Yan had already smelled the fragrance before he got off the car.

When the boss of the cloth village saw a few luxurious carriages at the door, his heart suddenly blossomed, and he hurriedly stood at the door to greet him.

Ran Yan stood still under the car, and saw a seventeen-year-old girl jumping down from the oil wall incense car, wearing a crimson silk dogwood pattern embroidered skirt, with a simple bun in her black hair, decorated with light yellow leno, and her actions were elegant and lively.

"Hey, I haven't been in Chang'an for a few months, is this kind of makeup popular?" Ran Yun muttered.

I didn't want the girl to hear it, so she stopped, looked at Ran Yun with a smile and said, "This is what I pondered, hey......"

The girl's gaze fell on Ran Yunsheng's face, and she sighed, "What a beautiful Langjun." ”

Few people sighed so directly and as if no one was around, Ran Yunsheng suddenly blushed, coughed lightly in embarrassment, lowered his eyes and said to Ran Yan, "Go in." ”

"My name is Dugu Yanyan, which family are you from?" The girl didn't care about Ran Yunsheng's evasion and asked.

Yes By].
