Chapter Twenty-Six: Gift of Medicine
Mu Ningjiu hooked her lips: Shen Wan, who looks similar to a modern foreigner, like a doll, is definitely not a person from the Five Kingdoms. She seems to have a lot of secrets. But don't worry, she'll find them one by one......
In the sky, there was not a trace of clouds, and the light and shadow were ground into fine and symmetrical gold dust by the invisible wind, and sprinkled to all corners of the Di Kingdom. The green shade beside the road is like waves of emerald waves.
Bazaar, bustling with people.
"Fighting crickets, fighting crickets! Everyone, place your betsβ"
"Sugar gourd, honey hey, hey, a bunch of pennies......"
"Candy seller, heyβ"
On Yanwu Street, shouting and shouting came and went. Today is a day of rest, and the special shops on the street corners are crowded with customers.
The jade pattern Xuan at the end of the street is the largest utensils and utensils shop in the Di Kingdom, with two floors up and down, distributed in a circle, and the various utensils contained in it are all treasures obtained from the interactive trade of various countries, and are deeply favored by the princes and nobles. On the second floor, a purple figure holding a folding fan quickly shuttled through it, looking here and there. Suddenly, a Ding furnace about two feet high and five inches wide came into viewβor it could not be said to be a ding furnace: above it was a small emerald cloud cover, with a semi-enclosed base, on which a number of fine firewood could be placed for stewing medicine. His eyes lit up: this stove was small and lightweight, and if it was given to the little fox, she would like it...... The corners of his mouth unconsciously floated a warm smile, and the women around him turned their heads one after another, despite wearing a mask, the evil temperament around him could still be clearly perceived.
He carefully took the stove that lay on the shelf, and carried it in his arms like a hen protecting a chick, for fear that a mistake would fall the baby.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this?"
"Eh, this boy is really a good eye! This is a batch of new goods purchased by our store from Qi Guo at a high price yesterday, all of them are treasures...... I saw that you were so knowledgeable, so you could take it for three taels of silver. β
"Okay." He took out the money and slammed it: Oh no, silver ticket...... I don't think I brought it?! There are only scraps of silver left over from the gadgets on his body, and the total is less than one or two...... He swallowed his saliva and said, "Eh, boss, can you ......?"
"This price is already the lowest price in conscience, you go and ask, where will there be such a cheap Ding furnace on the market now? This is made of the best green jade, you don't want it, naturally someone else buys it. β
"Hey, hey, wait, shopkeeper, I bought this Ding furnace, but I didn't bring a silver ticket when I went out, you keep it for me, and I'll get you money right away."
"This son, today is the day of rest, and the inner son is pregnant, and I promised her that the store will only be open for half a day...... It's close to noon, and there's still about a stick of incense left, and the shop closes. Let me make it clear to you first, if you don't come before closing, after I close the door, I won't be able to help you keep this baby tomorrow. β
When he heard this, he ran out as if he was flying, and he didn't forget to turn around and shout:
"Shopkeeper, the money will definitely be given to you a lot, I will come when I go, and I will keep it."
"Alright, hurry upβ"
If you go to the inn to get it again, the store will close early when you come back. Shang Jin pondered for a moment, looked at the auspicious clouds and warm jade hanging on his waist, and ran to the pawnshop on the street with a heart.
"Master, how much is this jade pendant worth?" This piece of jade pendant is his favorite piece, because it is extremely exquisite, as if there are auspicious clouds flowing with blessings, a feeling of vitality.
"Well, the texture is good, and the carving is fine, and I can give you two taels of silver at most."
"It's only two......" he muttered, pulling off the silver crown pinned to a tuft of hair on a whim this morning, "What about this?" β
"Up to two, two, five......"
β...... And what about this? He asked again by taking off an ink-colored wrench from his hand.
"More than three."
"That's all. That jade pendant...... I'll redeem it, can I not sell it? β
"This ...... Leave it for you for a maximum of one day, and after a day, everything will have to be shipped elsewhere. β
"Okay, thank you." As soon as Shang Jin took the silver, he ran towards Yuwenxuan.
The shopkeeper was about to close.
"Palm...... Shopkeeper, money ...... Here, things ...... I can...... Took it? He asked breathlessly.
"You're coming, it's going to be a little later, and it's really going to be closed. Well, I've got you covered. β
"Thank you, thank you." He nodded vigorously in thanks, and between the words, he couldn't hide his happiness and satisfaction.
Feiyun Pavilion.
"Shen Wan, you can live in the wing room in the south. If you eat, go to the water pavilion and everyone ...... together."
"Little foxβ" A magnetic voice sounded, mixed with a hint of happiness, like a child who had tasted sweet fruit for the first time, out of place.
Shen Wanxun went to prestige, wearing a purple moire brocade robe, showing a slender figure. The neck as white as jade is slightly raised, like a noble swan. Rumo's hair is a little messy, but it doesn't affect the overall beauty at all. A few strands stuck to his cheeks, fanned by his long, curly eyelashes, flew to the side of his ears in the wind. A pair of phoenix eyes under the black eyelashes, at first glance, look like an active spring, but when you look closely, it seems that there is more than that, and the ups and downs under the eyes attract people's eyes to turn unconsciously. What a special person. She thought.
"Shang Jin, where are you going......" Before Mu Ningjiu finished speaking, he was pulled and faded out of everyone's sight.
Shang Jin?! He is Shang Jin! Shen Wan raised her eyebrows in surprise, I thought it was ...... This one or two, why is it not easy to deal with? She's really unlucky...... It seems that other tricks are going to be used.
In fact, all this has nothing to do with luck at all. Things gather by like, people by groups, Mu Ningjiu is a group of people, and the invisible power that is born will attract people of the same nature and gather together. It's an accident, but it's also an inevitability.
Shang Jin pulled Mu Ningjiu to the pontoon bridge of Tingshui Pavilion, and the two of them gasped for a while. Mu Ningjiu frowned: "Why are you here?" β
He carefully took out the treasure in his arms, which was very well protected and did not touch a trace of dust, and said expectantly: "You see." β
Mu Ningjiu was stunned and looked at him.
"What are you doing stupidly, open it up and take a look." Shang Jin urged.
She unwrapped the red cloth, a small stove with a lid, the whole body was green and transparent, and the patterns carved on it were unique but not gorgeous, fine but not cumbersome. The furnace made of green jade shone softly under the polishing of the magnificent sunset of purple purple.
"Is this ......," Mu Ningjiu asked in surprise.
"It's Yaoding. When I visited Yanwu Street during the day, I saw a utensil shop, and I fell in love with this at a glance...... Also, if you're interested, how about I'll take you there next time? β
"......" Mu Ningjiu didn't know how to answer. This Ding furnace really made her love it, but Shang Jin suddenly gave her this, which really made her a little confused...... Receive, or, not receive?
Shang Jin looked at the tangled and struggling look in her eyes, and said: "You can accept it with confidence, I will give a gift this time, and when I ask you to help me in the future, don't play tricks." He winked his eyes at her and said, "Now, you owe me four things." With that, he turned and left.
Mu Ningjiu, who stayed in place, quickly put away the Ding furnace and thought: I know that you are not so kind, give me a baby for nothing. But finally there is something she likes very much, and it is not in vain. What's the harm in agreeing to him a request? Thinking like this, she felt a big sigh of relief, and she was stunned: what was she nervous about?
Shang Jin and Mu Ning Jiuyi returned to Tingshui Pavilion for lunch. Shen Wan was lively and eloquent, and he had already chatted with everyone.
"Mu Changfeng, you...... Why do you want to go to Ice City? Is it for the legendary treasure? Shen Wan looked at Mu Changfeng, who had the same foreign characteristics as her, and asked curiously.
"I don't want to...... It's just that Ning Ning wants to go, I'll just, woo...... Just by the way, it's just to have fun. Ice city, tokens or something, I'm not interested......" Mu Changfeng nibbled on a chicken leg, and could only hear an intermittent and vague sound. When Shen Wan heard this, she thought: It's good that it's not with Shang Jin and them, otherwise...... If she really makes a move, with her new style of play, it is impossible to win. But how did she know that Mu Changfeng was also half a catty.
"Now that you've got the Black Wood, the next stop is the Psychedelic Forest. When do we leave? Mu Ningjiu directly spread out the words and said, no matter who Shen Wan is and how many doubts she has, in the end, she got Hei Xuanmu, relying on the strength of each family, even if she really wants to do it, it depends on whether she has the ability to do it. Shen Wan didn't shy away from it, found a comfortable position, nested in a chair, and regarded this place as his own territory.
It's really a matter of going with the flow. Mu Changfeng thought.
"How's that for the day after tomorrow? I have something to do tomorrow. Shang Jin touched his empty waist with his hand, and a pair of bright starry eyes were looking at Mu Ningjiu.
"It just so happens that I want to have a good walk in the territory of Di tomorrow, a little ...... Something I want to buy. Mu Ningjiu said this, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Shang Jin. Unexpectedly, it collided with his gaze, so he turned quickly, and there was a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, as if nothing had happened. Shang Jin looked at her deliberately concealed appearance and was secretly happy. The smile on the corner of his mouth, charming, is indeed his usual standard smile, but there seems to be something different.
"Okay, that's it. Depart early the next morning. Everyone, there are no objections, right? Wei Chi said lightly.
"No problem." Shen Wan replied, staring at Shang Jin and taking a closer look: phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, black hair scattered - a chic and uninhibited temperament surrounded his body. Such a man must have countless beauties by his side. The smile of Shang Jin in her mind appeared in front of her, and her heart moved.
"The little girl Shen Wan, this son, is so good-looking!" Her blue eyes shone with starlight, and she smiled at Shang Jin.
