Chapter 111
Chapter 111
Qi Luan was talking about it, and the next day he took Su Ying to visit the most famous, lively, and messy Liuli Palace in Dragon City, where there were the most rich people and thieves.
The name of the glazed palace that gathers so many "most" in one is actually a building that resembles the courtyard of a rich family, with a rather tall painted archway in front of the door, with vermilion carved beams and painted buildings, and some dilapidated gray walls on both sides, but it can not reduce the lively atmosphere in the slightest.
Stepping through the gate, there is a main hall, and the side rooms on both sides are some treasure shops. The doors on both sides of the main hall lead to the backyard, and the side houses in the backyard are all treasure shops. The open space in the backyard is larger than the front yard, and even the ground is covered with oilcloth vendors. Not to mention the open space, even the passages on both sides of the main hall and the back hall are crowded with many vendors squatting in place and setting up stalls.
A big mansion with a few entrances and exits, it really makes people cry and laugh.
Hawkers are almost everywhere.
Stalls were set up outside the side houses, and there were some strange things on the stalls, and they were not afraid of being stolen. Although each piece is smooth and shiny, it is beautiful and tight, but most of them are not genuine.
The jade bowl is less than the size of the palm of the hand, smooth and small, which is amazing; The agate goldfish, which is less than a finger long, is like a spring flower, and it is as transparent as a crimson glow; Strings of polished round crystal chains are cold and shiny; Pieces of jade of different colors, different shades, are decorated with reliefs of different styles; I don't know what age the bronze wine jug, covered with patina, seems to be pouring out his long history and noble status; The dark glow-in-the-dark glass shines in the sun, and a glass of purple-red grape wine is even more mouth-watering; The natural stone carvings, the delicate ink inkstones, the brushes decorated with silver rings on the barrels, the stacks of yellowed ancient books, the wisteria trellis of Yurun Wuze, the dried walnuts with strange patterns, the gourds carved and painted in hollows, the calligraphy and paintings imitating celebrities, the hand-kneaded noodles, the sweet and fragrant roasted sweet potatoes, the huge cloud embroidered curtains, and the women's rouge boxes or hostas worn on their heads......
The so-called dizzying, probably this is the scene.
There are a lot of people in the Liuli Palace, and in every shop, there are all kinds of people standing in front of the stalls: the old man with a white beard, the scribe with a plain scarf and a long robe, the monk with a fairy wind and bones, the son in a luxurious dress, the girl with a flowery branch, and the child who has just hung down......
Although there are many people watching and few people buying, the hawkers and merchants are still busy sweating and taking care of themselves. Pickpockets who are noisy and shouting, and mixed with thieves' heads and brains, are really ...... Miasma.
Blinking, Su Ying couldn't help but squeeze Qiluan's hand, "Are you sure you're not in the wrong place?" ”
"Am I mistaken?" Qiluan raised his eyebrows and asked him rhetorically.
Su Ying didn't speak. Qiluan dragged him and walked down the steps in a few steps, not entering the noisy flow of people.
Su Ying didn't have a penny on him, but the thieves were not afraid, but he was a little frightened by the stall owners who came up enthusiastically.
In the line of antique treasures, Su Ying has never touched it. People who don't know will inevitably be on guard when they encounter people who are good at it, and they will be afraid that they will be deceived and help them count the money. Su Ying held this mentality, implemented the policy of "if you can, don't say it", and took Qiluan's hand and walked forward.
Yue Xuan mentioned that antique treasures are very profitable, but they must have a good vision, fast, accurate, and ruthless, otherwise they will not only not make money, but also lose all their money. I have been learning the pipa for a few days, and I can't help myself when I tell Qiongxiao that these things are difficult. Qiongxiao's answer was: That's because he didn't let him enter the antique shop.
After coming down several times, Su Ying was "not seeing its shape and hearing its name first" about this thing, how could he not be very wary?
took off the fox fur outside, and Su Yingren suddenly "lost a lot of weight". He carefully tugged at the hem of his clothes, for fear of knocking over a half-human-tall twig lotus vase on both sides.
Su Ying moved carefully, but his eyes greedily swept over one small stall after another. Although all kinds of small objects and gadgets are rare in real fashion, they are all delicate and chic, and they look very pleasing.
Dazzling, row upon row, overwhelming. The people around are in a kind of high mood, picking, laughing, scolding, bargaining, how can they not be affected in this environment? There are so many people that all the people who buy and sell are not allowed to give up half of it, making people feel that the whole surrounding area is a vegetable market full of deception and deception.
Fun is fun, but it's also draining. Before a front yard was finished, Su Ying's physical strength couldn't keep up with his mental power. It's too crowded, and the distance of one step is simply the same as that of a thousand troops, Su Ying is sweating all over his head, but this different interest has also come up.
"Qiluan, let's go over there and have a look." He saw a small stall in the distance, and the front was full of people, and the crowd made people curious.
There are too many people to squeeze into. This kind of painstaking effort, the feeling of not being able to see the strange things in front of you is no less than the anger of "a long drought and a rain, a drop". At this time, Su Ying began to complain to herself, she had eaten too little before, and she couldn't rely on her body size.
Just when Su Ying was about to collapse, a kind lady in front of him walked away, and he finally had the opportunity to squeeze in and see the true face of Lushan.
Full of anticipation, he pulled Qiluan and squeezed in, and seeing that it was a stall selling jewelry, Su Ying couldn't help but be a little interested. A middle-aged woman behind the stall still has charm, and there are more than a dozen phoenix hairpins, hostas, sideburns, rouge boxes, silver bracelets decorated with mandarin ducks and other things on the white cloth in front of her.
Su Ying was a little disappointed.
A group of playful and lovely girls around the stall are picking and choosing, helping their companions try to wear them and take a look.
It took so much effort to squeeze in, so I had to take a look at it so that I wouldn't lose anything.
"Yo! What a handsome boy! Why, come to buy a hairpin for your sweetheart to please her? I'm a person who came over, and my sister will help you pick it out, and make sure that your favorite person is satisfied! ”
Su Ying looked around left and right and found that the beautiful sister of the stall owner was really talking to him.
Su Ying couldn't help laughing, so she responded: "Sister, don't make fun of me!" I'm too shy to open my eyes! ”
"Yo, isn't the little boy still unintentional? Looking for a reason to prevaricate? The woman clapped her hands and smiled, her eyes rolling quickly, "Then sister, I'll help you find one, it's definitely one of the best beauties in our Dragon City!" ”
Qiluan listened to the more the two of them talked, the more unreliable they became, and as soon as the woman said this, the seven or eight girls around her looked at each other one after another, and couldn't help but feel a little impatient, for fear that Su Ying would provoke some more exquisite thoughts.
So Qi Luan pulled a few strands of messy hair on the side of his ear behind his ear three or two times, restored the appearance of a beautiful son, and said with a toothy smile: "Sister, this is embarrassing!" My virtuous brother is still young, and my parents are afraid that it is inconvenient for them to agree. ”
The woman's eyes rolled, and when she saw Qiluan, she smiled even brighter, and said, "Hey! What is a good day today? How can there be such a fairy-like character as two sons to come to me? ”
Qiluan smiled and said, "My sister has a good reputation, I heard that Liuli Palace is famous, so I just came to play." ”
"The two sons are not locals, are they?" The woman laughed and trembled, "I'm afraid that this Dragon City will take away the hearts of our Dragon City girls!" ”
Looking at Su Ying on the side, Qiluan was a little displeased, the smile on his face did not change, and said, "Sister, don't joke!" As he spoke, he turned to look at the stall and saw a delicately crafted dragon and phoenix hairpin.
Accustomed to seeing the concubines in the palace, how can this kind of hairpin get into the eyes of Qiluan. The dragon and phoenix on both sides are holding pearls, and the dragon's scales and phoenix's tail are exquisite, which may be a delicate and expensive product in the eyes of the people in the world, but in his eyes, it is just a gadget worth seeing.
Qiluan smiled faintly and stretched out his fingers to pick up the hairpin, and said, "Today and my sister are also acquaintances, this dragon and phoenix hairpin is also delicate and chic, how about selling it to me?" ”
Qiluan thought in his heart, the posture in front of him, if he left without buying something, he would inevitably be a little unable to pull his face, compared with the two, it would be better to spend some money.
"This son, this is not a coincidence." The woman's hands were clasped together, and her brows furrowed, "This hairpin has been ordered by someone else, and it can't be sold." ”
"So?" Qiluan raised his eyebrows, picked up a pair of crystal earrings with his index finger, looked at them carefully, and said, "What about this?" ”
"Eh! Childe really has a good eye! Sister Hong smiled, "This pair of earrings with snow lotus is made of high-quality amethyst, you see how skillfully the topaz in the center of the stamen is embellished, how properly the vine leaves of this emerald are inlaid, these two snow lotuses are close to each other, how can people not be tempted?" This is a rare quality! ”
Even though Qiluan has been through the world and is extremely shrewd, he was also said with a handsome smile and said: "In this case, please also ask my sister to read that for the sake of my two people who have no long things, how about receiving less silver?" ”
Su Ying laughed instantly on the side, the lord of the dignified spiritual realm, bargaining with a small businessman in such a smoky place......
"Childe is also a rare guest! So," the woman stretched out five fingers, "how about five taels?" ”
"Five taels? You're so unkind! In my opinion, two or two are enough. ”
"Two-two? The son is not a family, and he doesn't know that firewood and rice are expensive. Two or two, sister, I can't even earn my money back, how can I make a living? ”
"For my sister's sake, I'll add five more dollars, two or two five!"
Looking at the two of you coming and going, Su Ying couldn't help but look at the sky speechlessly, and sighed that it was really difficult to draw the skin of a tiger and paint the bones, and he didn't know the face of the person but didn't know the heart......
At this time, a woman's voice came from behind her, "Get out of the way!" Let my young lady in! "There were too many people to see the person who spoke.
After a while, everyone got out of the way, and a person came in front of the stall, dressed in luxurious and elegant plain clothes, wearing silver hairpins on his sideburns, his hair was curled and bunned, and his phoenix eyes were narrow and narrow, bright and shining, and cold and glamorous. When walking, the lotus is born, and the eyes are blooming when they are quiet. The cold fragrance is like ice and snow, and it is crazy everywhere.
The men, women, and children around all looked at it, looking up and down at this richly dressed woman.
Su Ying narrowed her eyes...... Is Dragon City rich in beauties? This kind of posture can be compared to Qiluan's harem. Turning my head to look at Qiluan, I couldn't help but squint when I saw that he was also looking at the woman without squinting, with appreciation flashing in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Qiluan didn't take the initiative to go up to talk, but the maid next to the woman looked at me and called out first, "Isn't this Nan Gongzi?" When the woman who had chosen the hairpin heard this, she also turned around.
"Oops! Miss and Nan Gongzi are really close to each other! The maid clapped her hands with joy on her face. Su Ying remembered, this maid was the little skirt before entering the city yesterday, in this way, this ice and snow beauty is the third lady of the Han family, Han Qingxi.
The third lady of the Han family looked at Su Ying and Qiluan, and there was no cold arrogance in her eyes, but there was some Qinggao.
"This son is yesterday's destined person?"
"Exactly." Su Ying nodded and smiled, her feelings are her own fate, "Miss is really beautiful." ”
"Nan Gongzi came to pick a gift for the person he likes?" Looking at Qiluan next to Su Ying and the pair of earrings on Qiluan's hand, Han Qingxi smiled politely.
Qiluan laughed and took over the words: "Brother Xian is still young, and he has never had any intentions. ”
Han Qingxi's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Qiluan, "This is Nan Gongzi's friend?" ”
"Exactly." Qi Luan politely arched his hand, "In Xia Shang Qi." ”
Han Qingxi also smiled and looked at a pair of earrings on Qiluan's hand, "This pair of earrings in Shang Gongzi's hand is very delicate, but Gongzi bought it?" ”
Qiluan blinked and said, "I was about to buy it." ”
"Oh......" Han Qingxi smiled in his deeds, but there was no lack of sincerity, "Childe is really good-looking!" ”
"Miss, don't you like it?"
"Don't dare...... Just talking. ”
Qiluan smiled, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, threw it to the stall owner who sold jewelry at the agreed price, and said to Han Qingxi: "Miss likes it, how about giving it to you?" ”
Han Qingxi's face was slightly red, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said hurriedly: "No need...... The first thing that Childe took a fancy to was Qingxi's rudeness. ”
"It doesn't matter." Qi Luan's smile was extremely graceful, Su Ying found out for the first time that he was actually as romantic as Ming Xuan, and he only had beauties in his eyes, and he also liked the new and hated the old!
The two of them have been talking back and forth.
Su Ying glanced at Qiluan, and kept his face silent.
Qi Luan obviously accepted his eyes, and to Su Ying's surprise, Qi Luan obediently accepted it when he saw it, handed the things to Han Qingxi, and said, "Miss stay, let's leave first." ”
That's pretty much it.
Su Ying didn't admit that she was unhappy because she was jealous just now, but at this time, she raised her eyebrows with satisfaction.
Before Han Qingxi could answer, he heard screams and the sound of things falling to the ground in the distance. Su Ying and Qi Luan followed the sound together and looked into the distance.
I saw a few tall horses, carrying the owner of the horse and whipping, and the horse's hooves were flying from far and near. Everywhere he passed, there were people who turned on their backs and cried bitterly.
The figure is closer, and if you look closely, it is not the purple-clothed Fu Gongzi yesterday. It seems that these three young ladies have been lucky recently, and there are a lot of people who are destined for her.
Isn't it the same Fu Gongzi yesterday?
Su Ying glanced sideways and saw that Han Qingxi was also glaring angrily at the figure on the horse with an indignant expression.
Fu Gongzi, Fu Gongzi, I'm afraid you can't hold this beautiful woman.
"Huh," someone came to stop in front of the small jewelry stall, completely ignoring the mess all the way behind him, and smiled at Han Qingxi: "I saw the third lady driving, I thought that the third lady was coming to the Liuli Palace!" ”
"Fu Gongzi." Han Qingxi was cold, and he had to express his dissatisfaction very directly with his expression.
It's a pity that Fu Gongzi on the opposite side didn't feel it at all, and he looked quite useful, looked at the stall behind Han Qingxi with a happy face, and said, "Third Miss came to buy jewelry?" Which one do you like, I bought it for you? ”
Han Qingxi didn't speak, but the little skirt next to her snorted and said, "Do you want to learn from someone else's son?" It's late! ”
"What Shang Gongzi?" Fu Gongzi rolled his eyebrows, and then he saw Qiluan and Su Ying standing next to him.
"Yo? Isn't that the two of you yesterday? He looked at Su Ying and Qiluan thoughtfully.
"Exactly!" Qiluan replied disappreliantly.
Fu Gongzi snorted, turned to Han Qingxi on the side, and smiled with his eyebrows, "Which one does the third lady like, you don't have to be polite?" Even if you open your mouth, it is! ”
Su Ying was a little surprised: his performance meant that he and Qiluan were not as beautiful as the beauty next to him, right?
Suddenly realizing that he seemed to have grasped the wrong point, Su Ying lowered his head and touched his nose by himself.
Speechless to speechless, Su Ying pulled Qiluan and prepared to leave.
"Two sons, please stay!" A cold voice called. Su Ying turned around and looked at Han Qingxi, who called out to them.
"Didn't Nan Gongzi say yes? Are you going to come to my house for a chat next time? Han Qingxi's smile was shallow, but very sincere.
Su Ying looked at Fu Gongzi who was fried next to her, and was surprised that she raised it so directly, and said, "Miss is kind, I understand it in my heart." However, looking at it from below, the young lady is afraid that it will be inconvenient, so it is better to give up this matter. ”
Fu Gongzi heard it in his ears and was happy in his heart, saying that this person seemed to be powerless and afraid of himself, and he didn't want to offend himself because of Han Qingxi. was proud, but was willing to sell Han Qingxi a face, so he said: "The two sons don't have to worry too much. How can the beauty of the third lady's hospitality be brushed away? After a pause, "In that case, I also want to take this opportunity to sit down in the Third Miss's Mansion for a while and visit Uncle Han." I wonder what Miss thinks? ”
Han Qingxi looked displeased, but still smiled reluctantly: "What Fu Gongzi said is that my father will also be grateful for Fu Gongzi's kindness." In that case, let's go. He turned and led the way.
Seeing that Qiluan was rare and did not stop him, Su Ying lowered his head and thought about it, and after figuring out something, he turned around and pulled Qiluan and slowly followed.
