Chapter 1 Father-lover Complex?
Liu Hong sat at a table in Piaoxiang Restaurant with a copy of "Yanhaidi Daily" in his hand and enjoyed breakfast.
In the Nanyun Continent, where force was prevalent, no one was willing to spend money to buy this kind of newspaper that was full of lace news that promoted the orders of the Emperor of the Jinpeng Dynasty and the City Lord of Yanhai City. The newspaper in his hand was inquired about by the Iwakai Printing Agency and forcibly stuffed into his hand.
"The Yanhai Printing Society, run by He Sima's family, distributes 5,000 copies of the Yanhaidi Newspaper free of charge throughout the city every day, which seems to be a loss-making business, but it is actually a kind of balance, because the most profitable minerals are monopolized in the hands of the He family. His father used to say so.
Iwakai Castle, with a population of nearly 8 million, was under the lord of the castle, and there was a castle Yin in charge of administration, a toro in charge of taxes, and Sima in charge of the city guard. There were four military gates under Sima, and each military gate had 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the four gates of Yanhai City. The money-making business was naturally divided among several major families.
"The shopkeeper of Baicao Hall, Xia Yuxian Yuan, broke through the Yuan Realm. ”
Located next to the official road in the west of the city, Baicaotang is mainly engaged in the business of buying medicinal herbs and animal skins, and selling elixirs and magic weapons. Liu Hong's father signed a long-term subscription agreement with Xia Yuxian's father on the occasion of the opening of Baicaotang, and all the paper talismans needed by Baicaotang were provided by Jin Fuyuan.
Liu Hong, who saw this news, couldn't help but feel sad for himself in his heart: "Cultivation has the Yuan Realm, the Gathering Yuan Realm, the Yuan Realm, and the Robbing Yuan Realm..... Each realm is divided into nine small realms, and I have just entered the first order of the Juyuan realm, and I may never be able to catch up with Shopkeeper Xia. ”
Two diners sitting not far from Liu Hong also saw the news, and one of them held the newspaper and said for a long time: "I remember that this Xia shopkeeper is not yet nineteen years old, and she will not be able to break through to the Huayuan Realm, doesn't it mean that she has given up the right to draft?"
Every three years, the emperor of the Jinpeng Dynasty would take turns to select three of the 48 cities and select talented women to enter the palace. As long as she is between the ages of sixteen and nineteen, cultivates below the Huayuan realm, and has no bad reputations, she has the opportunity to enter the palace to serve the emperor.
Therefore, the vast majority of ladies have been masking their faces with black veils since they were fourteen years old to avoid gossip.
The diner sitting across from him put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Is this kind of thing something you have to worry about? Whether you can be elected or not, it is naturally up to the people to have the final say?"
The envoy sent by the Ministry of Etiquette arrived in Iwami City in June, and his main duty was to screen the draft list submitted by the City Lord's Mansion, and he could not interfere in any government affairs of Iwami City. As for his appearance, none of the inhabitants had seen him, and perhaps he was sitting beside him.
Just as Liu Hong beckoned his guys to settle the bill, the diner who spoke just now shouted as if he had found a treasure: "Look at this recruitment revelation, hasn't the shopkeeper of Baicaotang Xia just broken through to the Huayuan Realm?
Xia Yuxian's uncle was Hu Lang of Yanhai City, and no one dared to make trouble in Baicaotang when she didn't break through to the Huayuan Realm, so why did she recruit a nurse now?
Liu Hong, who also found this recruitment revelation in the cracks of the newspaper, was so frightened by the answer of the noodle eater that he almost fell into a fight.
"Since I gave up the draft, I naturally want to find an in-law for myself. I think Xia Yuxian is going to find the Prince Charming in her heart in the process of recruitment. ”
Liu Hong wailed in his heart: "Uncle, please read this recruitment revelation again! The condition for recruitment is that a martial artist who is over thirty years old and has Yuan Li above the Yuan Realm is a nurse. Could it be that Xia Yuxian has a father-lover complex?"
Liu Hong, who was hurt in his heart, walked out of the Piaoxiang Restaurant with a chair. Since his father's death, he has been running his own Golden Talisman shop alone, and he has to go to Baicaotang on time on the fifth day of every month to deliver the paper talismans they need.
...................................
Baicaotang is located near the west gate of Yanhai City, the geographical location is relatively remote, and Liu Hong may have to walk close to an hour to arrive.
When he reached the intersection of the two official roads, a white wildebeest swept past him at a rapid pace. The young man on Jiaojiao Ma is very much like Fan Siliang, the son of Fan's shopkeeper, and he once saw it once when he went to Fan's Huibaotang to sell paper talismans, and it is said that he is the inner disciple of Yanhai Martial Mansion.
"I don't have the qualifications to enter the Martial Mansion as a miscellaneous servant, and everyone is already an inner disciple of the fourth order of the Huayuan Realm. People galloped down the road on a wildebeest, and I had to eat ash behind his horse's buttocks. Is this the difference between the common people and the powerful?"
Liu Hong exhaled a breath of turbid air after the dust cleared.
The first day of October is the day of enrollment in Yanhai Martial Arts, and the enrollment conditions are: young people under the age of nineteen who have reached the third level of the Yuan Realm can apply for the examination. Liu Hong, who is about to turn nineteen years old, is destined to have no chance with the Martial Mansion in this life, because the Yanhai Martial Mansion only recruits students once every three years.
I don't know how long he walked, and two creaking carriages came behind him.
As the first carriage passed by him slowly, through the gently raised curtains, he saw at least seven or eight young men in green clothes on the carriage, huddled in the small carriage without complaining, but chattering incessantly.
"I didn't expect that those of us who do handymen would one day be able to ride in a carriage. If you can ride a wildebeest and walk around Yanhai City, it's worth dying!"
If it weren't for the fact that a wildebeest in the stables had escaped the reins, and all the guards were intercepting it everywhere, would the young master have taken us handymen out to run errands? Besides, if you really give you a wildebeest, would you dare to ride it?"
Because there are very few public officials in Iwakai City, there is no so-called sanitation department. Livestock that cannot control their excrement are not allowed to enter the city, including white-lipped cattle used by medicine farmers outside the city to help them grow and carry herbs.
Therefore, the only ones who can gallop freely in Iwakai City are domesticated fierce beasts, the most common of which is the Jiao Wildebeest in front of them. Jiao Wildebeest's foal is not expensive, if you want it to become a mount, it will take four years for a master of the Huayuan Realm to successfully domesticate, and the selling price will be at least 40,000 taels of gold.
There are times when the fierce beast is abnormal, and ordinary people who have not reached the Transformation Yuan Realm do not dare to ride it.
Liu Hongzheng was guessing in his heart, where was the son of the Fan family going to run errands with so many miscellaneous servants? The carriage behind it came with a creak. The carriage was not so crowded, and several handymen were very friendly with each other, and on the knees of the four handymen sat a small handyman with fine skin and tender meat.
"I heard that the master prepared a million taels of gold for the young master in order to buy the Baicaotang! The purpose of the young master bringing us here is to stand at the door of the Baicaotang, and no one can be put in to apply for the nursing home. ”
The common currencies of the Nanyun Continent are: Gold, Yuanshi, Yuanbao, Yuanjing, and Yuanjing.
In addition to gold, the other currencies all contain different degrees of Yuan Qi, and it is said that directly absorbing the Yuan Qi in a Yuan Crystal can allow cultivators below the Yuan Realm to improve three small realms at a time. It's a pity that this kind of cultivation resource has been banned from circulation by the Jinpeng Dynasty.
One million taels of gold can buy a Yuan Crystal, Liu Hong didn't expect that the shopkeeper of Huibao Building Fan made such a big determination to acquire Baicaotang.
At this time, a sentence suddenly came from the carriage: "Of course I am full of joy when I do things for the young master, but I am so worried now, what if I meet a master who breaks my appearance? I will have to rely on my face to eat in the future!"
Liu Hong took a closer look at the handyman who had to eat with his face, and was so frightened that he didn't spit out all the breakfast he ate at Piaoxiang Restaurant.
