Chapter 12: Pingjun Jun's Family
Yunzhou, located in the south of Tianxuanguo, is divided by the Lingnan Mountains, forming the regional situation of North Yunzhou and South Jiaozhou. Since ancient times, Yunzhou has been extremely prosperous in the cultivation of the Tao, with many talents and many strong people, and the overall strength is enough to rank among the top five in the thirteen states of Tianxuan, and it is a strong state of cultivation in the south of Tianxuan Kingdom, with countless spiritual lands and rich resources.
Pingjun is the undisputed central county seat in the south of Tianxuan Kingdom. The county town is vast, with many shops and all kinds of cultivation resources, attracting countless cultivators to come and find opportunities every year.
An incomplete investigation by an official of a county town has shown that even if there is a shortage of resources in the five prefectures near Yunzhou, the resources of Pingjun alone can be sufficient to supply the nearby five prefectures for 20 years, and it seems that there has never been a successful case in history if they want to destroy Pingjun from the outside.
Therefore, the strong supply of resources and the stable order attracted countless forces of all sizes to settle in the county. Among them, there are especially eight major forces: the Dragon and Tiger Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the Telusi Auction House, the Gongjin Gate, the Wanqi Sect, and the Four Great Families King Li Chen, who controls more than eighty and a half of the county's resource supply, which can be described as incomparably powerful.
Xiaoyu's family of three walked on the noisy pedestrian street, and couldn't help but be shocked by the majesty and prosperity of Pingjun, even if Jun Xiaolan was born and grew up in Si, and returned to her hometown again, the shock was also revealed in her heart.
"Daddy, mother, it's so big, there are so many people, and there is so much food. Well, I smell stinky tofu. Xiaoyu's face was full of joy, and she fantasized about strolling around the street with all kinds of food, and there was nothing beautiful. Xiao Zhang on his shoulders also had his eyes shining, looking left and right.
"You know how to eat, there are a lot of noisy people, so be careful to keep up. Let's wait until I get to Grandma's house and settle down. Jun Xiaolan was speechless, it seems that the kid has inherited himself a little more, and he is not troublesome.
"Mother, I earn some change, and I can buy my own food. Xiao Zhang, who was on his shoulder, nodded very much and didn't forget to lick his mouth to show it.
"Go, go, let's go. Xiaoyu was pulled by Jun Xiaolan to a store selling stinky tofu, and the two waited outside the door.
"Hello, old man. How do you sell this stinky bean mansion?" Xiaoyu asked politely with a wink.
"Kid, it's your first time coming from out of town. Stinky tofu is ten pieces of one spirit stone, and almost all the shops sell it at this price. The old man sitting at the counter said with a smile.
The abundant resources and the large flow of people also determine that the transaction currency of the county city is based on the spirit stone as the hard currency, and the market is generally the lower grade spirit stone as the default circulation currency, and the large-scale trade fair, the money village and so on use the medium grade or the top grade spirit stone as the circulation currency, and the official money village is unified with the upper grade spirit stone as the reserve currency to regulate the circulation. Generally speaking, the exchange ratio between upper, middle and lower is 1:100:10000.
Xiao Yu's little hand pressed on his clothes and muttered, "It's so expensive! In our town, one spirit stone can buy a hundred sauce-flavored duck heads." However, his eyes were fixed on the black stinky tofu on the plate.
"Children, in Pingjun is not more than other places, it costs a lot of money to buy things, and you can make a lot of money by selling things. The old man patiently explained, and then said, "That's it, little friend, seeing that you like to eat so much as a foreigner, I'll give you a piece to try." ”
Although Xiaoyu was shy in his pocket, he still earned some change, so he said, "Thank you grandpa for your kindness, but I still want to buy a piece of stinky tofu with spirit stones." After speaking, he took out a piece of crystal jade of an inch size from his cuff and handed it to the old man.
Coming out of the store, Xiaoyu held the bagged stinky tofu in one hand and the sticker in the other, and said to Jun Xiaolan with a golden eye: "Mother, the stinky tofu here can be sold for a lot of money, let's make stinky tofu and sell it after we get to grandma's house, you can sell it while eating, and you can make more money by bringing it from home and selling it." Xiao Zhang, who was on his shoulder, held a skewer with one paw and inserted stinky tofu with one hand, and waved it in agreement with one hand.
Feeling the surprised scrutiny of the pedestrians around them, Yuan Zhisheng and the two of them had black lines on their faces, pulling Xiaoyu through quickly, it was really embarrassing, and they were almost embarrassed to be thrown to their mother-in-law's house.
After walking for about half a time, the three men and one beast finally walked through the bustling streets and came to a slightly quieter residential area. The residential area is located in the northern part of the county, which is extremely vast, with a variety of architectural styles, white walls and green tiles, charming gardens, towering stone towers, etc., which are diverse and integrated, showing the diverse living styles of the residents of the county.
When I came to a gate where people entered and exited the busy mansion, I felt that although the pedestrians on the road were dense, it was still relatively quiet compared to the downtown area. Pedestrians glimpse the plaque of the "Junfu" official book on the mansion, all of which show respect and admiration.
"Have you heard, recently, the wife of the head of the Jun family has been celebrating her millennium birthday, and she has sent out invitations to invite the powerful forces of the entire county to celebrate, although it has not yet been held, the preliminary preparations have been a sensation. Most of the forces outside the county town have moved into the county town in advance, and the flow of people has increased. ”
"Cut, see how strange. As the head of the four major families in the county, the Jun family does not have such pomp, how can it show the courage of the great family. Moreover, it is much more convenient to have a good relationship with the Jun family, and it is much more convenient to do business or trade resources in the county town. Ordinary people can have a relationship with the Jun family, and they can live freely in the county town, and it is easy to get rich overnight. Others walked unimpressedly.
Jun Xiaolan pursed her lips slightly when she heard this, and she didn't care. Yuan Zhisheng listened very calmly. Xiaoyu looked ignorant when she heard this, and only when she heard the last sentence did she look at it and said, "Mother, let's go and ask grandma for peace, we are going to get rich, and we can have a lot of food without selling stinky tofu." After speaking, Xiaoyu was even more excited, shaking her little hands, and Xiaozhang's eyes also lit up.
Jun Zilan's faces turned black again, this time it was really embarrassing to throw them at the door. The bystanders who passed by all looked at them with disdain, but they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the main door.
Jun Xiaolan firmly had a certain idea in her heart, it seems that she is wild and unorthodox in the mountain village, and it is necessary to give the stinky boy an aristocratic etiquette education after going back, and he will have a long insight.
The middle-aged principal who was greeting guests in and out also heard it, looked up in surprise, and when he saw the woman's appearance, he quickly stepped forward and said excitedly: "Ah, Miss, you are back." Hurry inside, it's noisy. ”
Jun Xiaolan stepped forward, grabbed the hand of the person in charge and said happily: "Uncle Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Looking carefully, he found that there were two people standing behind the young lady, and Steward Qin immediately reacted: "Ah, my aunt's little son is also here, and the old slave asks my aunt and little son to say goodbye." Come on, please come in, young lady, aunt and little son. After the order, Steward Qin hurriedly invited the three of them to enter the mansion.
Entering the courtyard, Jun Xiaolan asked, "By the way, Uncle Qin, my father and mother have been doing well recently." ”
"The old lady is fine, and she is very concerned about the young lady, but she still has a lot of complaints about the uncle. Steward Qin bowed and replied.
"Mother, grandma's house is so big, our family plus the pig barn, the cowshed is not half the size of the courtyard here. Xiaoyu strolled and measured her hands, trying to make a precise comparison.
The family members who followed around all covered their mouths and smiled, and were stunned by the housekeeper.
Jun Xiaolan looked embarrassed, and Yuan Zhisheng next to her didn't say anything all the way, as if he was calm and calm, but he didn't dare to touch his head. A whisper sounded in his ears: "Look at the good son you taught, and I'll make a good calculation with you when I go back." ”
"Ahem, Uncle Qin, are they still busy my eldest brother?" Jun Xiaolan said in a loud voice. And Xiaoyu on the side has been blocked by Xiao Zhang's body, and the "little poisonous tongue" can't even look at Xiao Zhang.
"The eldest prince and they are preparing for the reception of guests in the early stage, and they can handle it. I have already instructed the family to inform the eldest son. Steward Qin said as he led the three of them to the living room.
"Uncle Qin, are there any important guests coming to the door today, I see that everyone is very busy. ”
Uncle Qin hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to say it or not.
"There's nothing you can't say, and I'm no longer the child who made trouble at the beginning, Uncle Qin. ”
"Wang Zhenyu, the son of the Wang family, Zhao Shan of the Tianzhou Zhao family, and other distinguished guests are discussing birthday celebrations. Steward Qin whispered softly to Jun Xiaolan.
Jun Xiaolan listened to the unnaturalness on her face, to be honest, when she ran away from marriage, the most important thing she was Brother Yu, after all, the two were also childhood sweethearts, and the two families were also very much in favor of this family business. If he hadn't met Yuan Zhisheng, he would have been a member of the Wang family. However, at this point, there is nothing to regret and will not regret.
Jun Xiaolan glanced at Xiaoyu and his father resentfully, and she just smiled at him.
"Oh, let's go, let's go to the main hall to meet the eldest brother first. ”
