Chapter 28 North City
Imperial Capital City, the first of the cities in the five continents, is also the largest city in the five continents.
The whole imperial capital city is magnificent, roughly divided into the inner and outer cities, the imperial city is located in the inner city, so the inner city is forbidden to martial arts, and it is strictly forbidden for monks to fly to the sky, all who enter the inner city, can only travel by car and horse, those who can settle down in the inner city of the imperial capital are either rich or noble, more are the important ministers of the Dragon Court, and the departments of the Dragon Court are also located in the inner city.
In contrast, the outer city is regarded as a place where the common people live, although most of them are high-ranking officials and nobles, but there are also many ordinary people who have lived here for generations, and there are many markets and countless shops.
Ruan's family is one of the many shops, although the scale is not large in the imperial capital, but it is also a century-old brand, quite famous, although not enough to attract the patronage of dignitaries, but enjoy a good reputation among the common people.
When Zhang Xiyun and the Ruan family hurriedly arrived at the imperial capital, it was noon five days later, and as soon as they entered the city, Zhang Xiyun was amazed by this magnificent and atmospheric capital, which was worthy of being the imperial capital of the Han Dragon Court, which was really daunting.
"Madam, Brother Shang and I will go to the shop first to understand the current situation, and you can take Qingni home first. Ruan Menghe was anxious about the shop, so he had to arrange for his wife and daughter to go home first.
He looked at Zhang Xiyun again and said, "Xiyun, you can also go to the mansion with my wife to rest first, and when I finish dealing with the shop, I will rush back." ”
Zhang Xiyun had never planned to stay at Ruan's house, and An Luping had asked him to live at the Chaolai Inn before leaving, so as to know the news that he had arrived in the imperial capital, so he shook his head and refused Ruan Menghe.
"Before Mr. An left, he informed me to go to the Chaolai Inn to look for him, and I won't go back to live with Brother Ruan, but I will definitely not forget the matter of saving Qingni, and always keep it in my heart, and after a year, I will let Qingni recover as before. ”
Ruan Menghe sighed, looking at Zhang Xiyun's firm eyes, his heart was full of mixed tastes, and now he really didn't know what kind of emotions to face Zhang Xiyun, was it annoyance or gratitude?
Qi Han snorted coldly, "With you, you can save Qingni in a year? You got into trouble and harmed Qingni, and now you casually make a promise and want to leave, how can there be such a cheap thing!"
Qi Han looked at his master and said, "Master, this kind of person should arrest him back to the mansion and use him as a subordinate to pay off his own debts!"
Shang Yang didn't speak, but he secretly sighed in his heart that his apprentice was still too young, and he didn't think about it, this Zhang Xiyun's cultivation was probably comparable to himself, how could he allow him to be a four-elephant monk to insult him, but he himself was also very disliked by Zhang Xiyun in his heart, so he didn't open his mouth to stop his apprentice, if he dared to make a move against Qi Han, he would have a reason to teach him a lesson.
Seeing that the master seemed to acquiesce to himself, Qi Han was even more open-mouthed, and sneered at Zhang Xiyun, but Zhang Xiyun was expressionless, listening to his ridicule, and finally Ruan Menghe spoke to stop him.
"Since Xiyun is going to the Chaolai Inn, let's go all the way with us, the Chaolai Inn is in the same North City as my Ruan family's shop, and you are also going to the Imperial Capital City for the first time, so I will take you there." ”
Although Zhang Xiyun didn't want to get along with the Ruan family's master and apprentice, he also agreed.
In the Imperial Capital City, there are four major square cities in the east, west, north and south, which are graded layer by layer, among which the North City is the most mixed, in fact, to put it bluntly, it should be regarded as the civilian area in the Imperial Capital City, there are many mortals here, scattered cultivation, and the quality of the goods sold is even more uneven.
The Ruan family's shop is one of the more famous in the North Market, and it is almost qualified to leave the North City and open a shop in the South Market, and the Ruan Family's enshrinement said that the Dragon Court decree is that the Dragon Court will give the shops in the four cities a chance to be promoted every once in a while.
If the shop is successfully promoted, it can go to a better market to open a shop, and every time a shop is promoted, a shop will also be removed from the original market and driven back to the next level of the market.
The largest street in Beishi is called Xuanwu Street, where the Ruan family's shops and Chaolai Inn are located, and when everyone arrives here, Zhang Xiyun feels like he has returned to his previous life.
"In front of me is the shop of my Ruan family, and further on, you can see the signboard of the Chaolai Inn. Ruan Menghe and Zhang Xiyun introduced.
Zhang Xiyun kept looking around, he hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long, long time, and couldn't help but be distracted and secretly sighed.
Qi Han saw Zhang Xiyun's novel look, his eyes showed a trace of disdain, and he couldn't help but say sarcastically: "It's really a countryman from a poor countryside, and he has never seen the world." ”
Zhang Xiyun was busy looking around, but he didn't have time to pay attention to him, and finally Ruan Menghe glared at Qi Han again, and Qi Han closed his mouth.
"Xiyun, there's still a lot of time for you to wander around in the future, so don't waste any more time now. Ruan Menghe said.
Zhang Xiyun came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I've been on the mountain for a long time, and I've never seen such a lively market, which makes Brother Ruan smile." ”
Ruan Menghe smiled, didn't speak again, and walked forward with Zhang Xiyun, but Shang Yang heard the word "on the mountain" that Zhang Xiyun said, and guessed in his heart that this kid was not a loose cultivator, but a disciple of the Fangwai Sect?
When everyone arrived at the Ruan family's shop, Ruan Menghe introduced him again: "This is the shop that my Ruan family has inherited for a hundred years, and it is also praised by everyone in this North Market." ”
Zhang Xiyun secretly sighed in his heart, in a world like Wuzhou, which belongs to monks, he couldn't imagine that mortals would have the opportunity to break through the great career, but it was different from the novels and stories he had read in his previous life.
"Brother Ruan, now that I know the location of the Ruan family's shop, I will leave first, and in a year, I will definitely come back here to find you. Zhang Xiyun said goodbye to him.
Ruan Menghe didn't keep much, after all, the things in the shop now made him even more anxious.
"Hmph, don't let me see you in Beishi in the future, otherwise I have to teach you a lesson," Qi Han muttered to himself.
Zhang Xiyun was about to turn around and leave, but saw a middle-aged man running out of the Ruan family's shop, and when he saw Ruan Menghe and Shang Yang, his eyes lit up.
"The head of the family, the merchant worships, you can be regarded as coming back, if you don't come back, our business is really impossible!" the man cried to Ruan Menghe and the others.
"Shopkeeper Sai, what's going on?
"The Hua family is too deceitful! You don't know, the head of the family, in the past few days, the Hua family has sent people to the shop every day to make trouble, so that everyone dare not patronize our shop!"
At this time, a man walked out of the Ruan family's shop, dressed sloppily, holding a wine jug in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, eating with a mouth full of oil.
"Ruan Menghe, since you are back, I will give you a chance to go to the business bank to register and withdraw, otherwise we have nothing to do every day, and we will come to 'patronize' your Ruan family's shop!"
