CHAPTER 11 LUCKY WEAVING HOUSE
Early the next morning, Tao Sheng and Ah Jing set off to Shenxie Pavilion to find the woman named Xianglian. Last night, Tao Sheng asked Ye Xing to do something, the two of them whispered for a while, and Ye Xing handed Tao Sheng a cloth bag this morning.
Because of the previous arrangement, Mo Banbrown went to the lucky weaving house in Fenghua City alone to make an appointment with an old friend.
This weaving house sells rare cloth from all over the world, and the people who come and go are also dignitaries. The reason for the name "lucky" is that everyone who comes here to buy cloth and go back to make clothes has achieved their goals or wishes, so the cloth here is also surprisingly expensive.
Although the price of cloth is expensive, people who come to Fenghua City are still eager to buy a piece of cloth in this store, and some bring it as a gift to relatives and friends, so this business has always been very hot.
At the request of the owner, all the shopkeepers will screen the guests who come to the weaving house, and not everyone can buy the cloth of the lucky weaving house, and no matter how rich they are, they may not be able to buy it.
Mo Ban Brown had an appointment with this shopkeeper, and when he came here, he first sighed: Everything here has not changed. And one of the shopkeepers saw him coming, and came and led him upstairs to sit by the window.
But after half a cup of tea, the owner of the lucky weaving house came, and the hostess's hair was already silvery, and she could see that she was a beauty. Although the appearance is old, the temperament is extraordinary. Before she could speak, the people who saw her were already overwhelmed.
"Your shop is still the same!" Mo Ban said with a grin, and when he saw her, the old days came to mind in front of him. As if they were still children, they ran freely in the territory of the former Great Salt Country. The elders shouted for them to eat, and they also had the audacity to delay and hide. He still remembers when she was young, pointing to a respected old man and giving him the nickname "Old Fox". At that time, they were not afraid of the sky and the earth, and their smiles were better than the bright sunshine.
"It's disrespectful for the old. Mrs. Hua put down the ceramic in her hand, "Look at this, you can recognize it." She looked at her old friend in front of her, and her heart was also full of imagination. The people of their generation are really old.
"This ceramic vase depicts the story of the king and his minister playing chess, two men made a bet that each of them would count the number of grains of wheat in a certain way, and if the minister won, the king would reward him with the number of grains. Mo Banbrown looked at it, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and he suddenly felt that time passed quickly, "Isn't this a story we often heard when we were children? ”
"Then do you remember the result? Did the minister win, and how much did the king reward him?" asked Mrs. Hua, looking forward to it. Hopefully, these memories are still there.
"I can't remember the approximate details, and I can't remember the approximate figures. Mo Banbrown said and recalled, "It was the minister who won, and the king rewarded him with countless wheat barns, I remember, right?"
"Yes, yes, you can take this. When people are old and have nothing to do, they love to collect some gadgets. Mrs. Hua said, "When I see these classic bottles and cans, I always think of some old people and old things." ”
"This old attitude is not like yours. Mo Banbrown said, "It's not been peaceful in your city lately. As he spoke, the blue and white cat lay obediently at his feet, his ears pricked up.
"Even you, an outsider, have noticed that something is wrong in my city. Mrs. Hua bowed her head in contemplation.
"Lord Bingcheng. A shopkeeper seemed to have an urgent matter to Mrs. Bingminghua, and whispered a few words in her ear. Mrs. Hua waved her hand and motioned for the shopkeeper to go down.
"It seems that I, the lord of the city, will not be in charge for a few days. Mrs. Hua laughed at herself, "It's true that our country will be destroyed, and my city will be destroyed." I'm really an old princess of a dead country. ”
"Do you remember your two elder brothers?" said Mo Banha, "when the Great Salt fell to the kingdom, the two of them insisted on not eating a single grain of grain from the Hague Dynasty, and finally starved to death, and composed a poem before they died. ”
"Picking the Rose," said Mrs. Hua, "they followed the Great Salt, and would rather starve to death than eat a grain of grain in The Hague." I'm a traitor compared to them. ”
"In my opinion, you are more difficult and courageous than them. Your choices need to be more meaningful. Mo Ban Brown said.
"I'm just a scared death, and I breathe a sigh of air. Now he is just living in the world, bent on death. Mrs. Hua laughed at herself.
"Look, it's not death that you fear. After the death of the country, as the princess of a country, as a weak woman, you have more courage than a boy to survive in this enemy dynasty, and now you have become a female city lord, who can?" Mo Ban Brown had a lot of praise in his eyes.
"I don't know how I got to where I am now. Consider that at that time, papermaking had not yet been invented, mathematics was difficult to develop, and the economy was restricted," said Mrs. Hua, "so the treasury was very tight, and the arsenal was tight...... The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, and my father died of weeping blood...... The queen mother was martyred. My home is gone, and my relatives and brothers have passed away. Some of the better families also followed the previous dynasty and died. ”
"These ...... There's no way around it. You can't stop it alone. Mo Banbrown said, "Your father, but one of the most talented monarchs, I still remember, back then, he used the whole country to search for strange books and paintings, his artistic attainments are high, and his elegance of conversation, I still remember it vividly." ”
"My mother always said he was a loser. Mrs. Hua sneered, "Anyway, he is very happy in it, and he is not in vain as this emperor." After thinking about it, his expression became solemn again, "It is to lose the whole country." ”
"Do you remember that young man?" Mo Banbrown said, "The one who painted the Great Salt Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains?"
"Of course, that young man...... My father trained him as a future colt and said that I would marry him. Mrs. Hua remembered some interesting things again, "That young man paints every day, and I always laugh at him." ”
"Your father is serious, he showed him all the good things, he took the whole country as a teacher, practiced painting, and completed such a picture of "Great Salt Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". Mo Banha's eyes lit up when he mentioned this matter, "At that time, I was still jealous, so I now collect good things to see everywhere, just to make up for the regret in my heart at that time, and the envy at that time was about to become a knot in my heart." ”
"How can he compare to you? He was so young...... He died. You probably have a long time to live, and you will live a long life. Mrs. Hua also felt a little sorry, "Among the geniuses of Da Yan, count him one, if he lives to this day, he should be more revered by the world than the old guy who painted the saint! At that time, my father wanted to prepare him to be a concubine, and soon after, he passed away...... I'm not going to pay back Kefu, am I?"
"What kind of man is he, just a genius who died young. He has this genius, and your father has half of the credit. Mo Banbrown said, "I was in his palace back then, but I saw a lot of good things. Many of them are shipbuilding drawings, which were drawn by your father himself. ”
He was also counting on drawing a boat that would save him from the Great Salt. Mrs. Hua said, her father's voice and smile could not help but come to mind, "At that time, he always locked himself in his literary palace, forgetting to sleep and eat all day. The queen mother is also the whole big salt wandering freely, not like a woman at all. ”
"I think they've always been there. Mo Banbrown said, "Few people live as chic as your father and queen mother, and your chic is very similar to them." ”
"Do you want to say that I have no heart and no lungs?" Mrs. Hua thought that when she was a child, she was always scolded by this surnamed Mo, and when she was young, she was so angry that she really stomped her feet.
"No, no, I was ignorant when I was a child. Who could you have in your eyes at that time? I'm not funny, you can't even see me. Mo Banbrown suddenly disrespected the old man, and his words were a little light, this old princess of the dead country.
Mrs. Hua picked up a scroll in her hand and prepared to beat him. Mo Banyan quickly took out a bag of things to block the scroll that was waving.
"Look, this is a baby. Mo Ban Brown said.
"What kind of good thing can it be?" said Mrs. Hua angrily.
Mo Banbrown obediently opened the wrapped oil paper, a dark cloth! There were some simple patterns on it. These patterns softened Mrs. Hua's face and said, "I won't pursue you!"
"I'll just say, this is the latest weaving method I found after running all over the Great Shang Kingdom!" Mo Ban Brown said, "There is only one village in the world, and I stayed there for half a year before I could ask for this horse from that grandmother." ”
Mrs. Hua also ordered someone to take out a number of rare items, which were also collected over the years and given to this old friend.
Ah Jing and Tao Sheng came to Shenxie Pavilion, this time they did not sneak in, but looked for Miss Xianglian in the open.
When Xianglian stood in front of them, they also looked at the woman. This woman is soft and weak, and she can't help but look like the wind. After asking the Book of Heaven, Ah Jing knew that the pregnant person was her.
Tao Sheng asked the housekeeper Jiang's mother, how much does it take to buy Xianglian?
Mother Jiang saw that there was a good woman beside this person. Sarcastically: "Ten thousand golden knives." "I think this stunned boy who doesn't know where he came from, and doesn't know the height of the sky, must be a light and thin man, and he is not satisfied with one of the people around him, and he wants to stand up for the girl who is in trouble, and he doesn't weigh how many pounds and taels he weighs.
When Ah Jing heard this, this was in Qiaocheng, but it was the price of 10,000 slaves. I can't help but wonder, how can I rob this to snatch Xianglian over?
Who knew that Tao Sheng lightly took out ten silver tickets with a thousand gold knives from his sleeve and handed them to Mother Jiang. Jiang's mother is also a person who has seen a big scene, and she clicked a little, but there are a lot of them. Look at this Xianglian again, she is also an unfestive master with mulberry eyebrows, it is better to sell this ticket.
Things are going well. Ah Jing thought that the cloth bag that Ye Xing gave Tao Sheng in the morning must be these large silver tickets, Tao Sheng must have asked Ye Xing to go to Fenghua City last night to exchange them, these two people were really thoughtful when they encountered something, and their financial resources were also amazing.
Xiangyu has been watching this side from the corner. Xianglian looked at Xiangyu from time to time, and she didn't have an idea in her heart.
Xiangyu recognized Ah Jing, thought about it a few times, and roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter. So he gave Xianglian a look and told her to go with this person.
