Chapter 9 - Attendance

In the Dragon City, unless you are the emperor's personal patrol, no one is allowed to ride a horse in the middle of the city.

Therefore, even if the prince of the Ji family travels with the county lord, there is not much pomp to talk about. Those who should walk still have to walk obediently, and they can't walk on the street with a sedan chair and be seen as a monkey.

I saw that after coming out of the palace, four or five refined old soldiers walked in front, replacing Ji Liang and the three behind him to separate the crowd in front. Nangong Qianwen and Ji Liyue both changed into the same ink-colored green clothes as Ji Liang, and their long hair was combed into a big pill and hung on the back of their heads.

After all, although Dalong is martial and open-minded, they are all women who have not left the cabinet after all, in addition to dressing plainly, the men who accompany them will also gentlemanly block the eyes of the passers-by around them.

It's just that at this time, the gentleman couldn't wait to rush ahead, ran to the front of the old soldiers, and walked around the various stalls on both sides of the downtown by himself.

Sugar man candy painting, exquisite dice, chest broken boulder, fairy rope.......

Ji Liang has seen and has not seen those old gadgets that are about to disappear in his time, but at this time they are just the life entertainment that people are accustomed to in this era, and the dazzling food and play are about to dazzle Ji Liang's eyes.

Recalling my own era, everything could be bought online, and I could live without leaving home, but this was certainly convenient, but it was also a little less of life's fireworks.

I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see these strange things again in this crossing, and it was worth the trip today.

Ji Liang pointed to a few gadgets hanging on the wooden board and said, "Boss, let's have a delicate dice." Then come a white fan. ”

Linglong dice is naturally given to his sister, as for this white fan, Ji Liang can't look down on other styles of fans, and plans to go home and paint a landscape by himself.

Seeing that it was a child, the vendor who watched the shop immediately grinned: "Childe has a good eye, this exquisite dice is the best product in Yan Kingdom, and it is the most suitable for the girl you like." ”

"Good quality, that seems to be a bargain. ”

"Hey, hey, it's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's enough for half-run copper coins. Our store takes the route of small profits and quick turnover. ”

Ji Liang rolled his eyes in his heart, this is really taking himself as a wronged boss. A wood-carved exquisite dice sells my half money, why don't you go to the bank to rob it... Oh, as if there are no banks in this era.

But since you are unkind, don't blame the master for being unjust, and beckoned to the vendor to lean his ear: "You said that this exquisite dice came from Nanyan, but you know that according to the law of Dalong, you will go to prison for abduction." ”

Hearing this, the peddler's face suddenly turned blue and red, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted: "This son, the villain is an honest business!

Ji Liang smiled and clapped his hands: "That's good." The people who traveled with me happened to be natives of Nanyan. I'll call her over now, and if you dare to lie to me, you'll be jailed for a year!"

The peddler followed Ji Liang's line of sight, and saw that one of the girls dressed as men had white and tender skin, slender figures, and Wu Nong's soft words in her clever smile, which was the unique characteristic of a woman in Yan Kingdom. Immediately, the two strands were soft, and they immediately fell down: "Father-in-law, you see....... This and this and this ......."

"The dice are half price, and the fans are given for free. ”

"Deal. ”

After a while, Ji Liang smiled and threw down a few pennies and walked back with the things he bought.

......

At first, Ji Liyue was still angry, why hadn't her brother's wooden fish head been opened yet, but when she saw the exquisite dice in his hand when he came back, the misunderstanding was immediately resolved.

It seems to be quite good, not bad.

"Your Royal Highness, have you seen anything interesting?"

Nangong Qianwen asked with a smile, not at all annoyed that Ji Liang had left her behind.

"Well, I saw something new that I hadn't seen before, and I bought two things. ”

Seeing the exquisite dice in Ji Liang's hand, Nangong Qianwen was slightly stunned for a moment, and couldn't help blushing. In the Southern Yan Kingdom, Linglong Dice represents the meaning of lovesickness, and giving Linglong Dice to the opposite sex is no different from confession.

But this is Dalong...... Even if the prince gives the exquisite dice to himself...... It doesn't have to be that way....... Bar........

The more Nangong Qianwen thought about it, the redder his face became, and his head was as shy as an ostrich.

It's just that she is still shy on this end, and Ji Liang has already walked to her sister with a delicate dice.

"Do you like it?" Ji Liang took the delicate dice and shook it in front of Ji Liyue's eyes.

Ji Liyue looked at Nangong Qianwen, who looked embarrassed, and then looked at her heartless brother, and rolled her eyes. However, her hand still stretched out and motioned for Ji Liang to put it on her.

After all, it was a gift from her brother, even if it was her future sister-in-law, Ji Liyue would not let it out.

Ji Liang nodded with satisfaction: "That's good." I like it a lot, too. ”

Then Ji Liang kicked the Linglong dice back into his pocket, thinking that he would give it to Li Yue after going back to strengthen it.

It's a pity that in the next second, a kidney crit blow with 5000% of his sister's anger hit Ji Liang's waist hard. Squeezing the still smoking fist, Ji Liyue walked forward with Nangong Qianwen in a huff, leaving Ji Liang, who looked innocent, lying on the ground with his waist covered, not knowing what he had done wrong.

After the little episode, the group soon came to the front of the Xuanbao attic, handed three invitations to the little guy at the front desk, and followed the direction he pointed. Walking through the building, walking through a long, very long corridor, I finally saw the shadow of the Wenhui.

A peach blossom forest hidden behind a stone arch.

There were two little scholars in front of the stone arch, and when they saw the visitor, they first politely bowed to the three of them: "I have seen the prince, the county lord, and Miss Nangong." ”

Then, after taking the invitation and confirming that the name on it was correct, one of them bowed and turned through the archway, while the other led the three of them into the side chambers and burned three of the best incense sticks in Dragon City to smoke their clothes.

The people who can receive invitations to the Taishan Cultural Association are the most outstanding young talents in Dalong, and their status, culture and strength are indispensable. The children of eunuchs above the sixth rank also need to be proficient in the six arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and gentlemen, and if they are from the common people, they need to get a ranking in the palace examination.

At that time, Ji Liang's grandfather Ji Ziwen was the youngest champion in the history of Dalong, and he won the champion and the first place in one fell swoop at the age of seventeen.

After a stick of incense, the three of them walked behind the stone arch under the guidance of the scholar.

At the same timeβ€”

"The prince of Jiliang, the lord of Liyue is β€”β€”!"

"Nanyan envoy, Miss Nangong Qianwen to β€”β€”!"

The scholar's loud but not piercing voice echoed in the peach blossom forest, and under the attention of a group of literati and artists, Ji Liang and the three slowly walked into the literary meeting.
