Chapter 35: The Tyrannical Woman
Lingyan is a prosperous place, looking at it from a distance, the buildings are upright, scattered, end to end, like a dragon, lying across this vast world, as if exuding a mighty atmosphere, making people feel palpitations.
The city wall is more than 20 zhang high, and it is full of soldiers, all of whom have solemn expressions, holding bows and crossbows, so imposing. At the gates of the city stood a column of soldiers, armed with spears, checking those who entered the capital back and forth.
Merry looked up at the towering city wall, his heart fluctuated, and he couldn't help but say: "This is the national capital!"
Xiulan was originally a maid, although she was in a big family like the Feng family, she could be regarded as having seen some of the world, but it was also the first time she came to the national capital, and she was overjoyed in her heart, and shouted: "Little master, you see, the buildings in the national capital are so tall and beautiful!"
Feng Ziyang smiled and said, "It's nothing, I don't know what beauty is until the night." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the gate, and the group followed him, waiting for an interrogation.
When Feng Ziyang just took out the jade pendant on his waist, the soldier guarding looked panicked when he saw it, and immediately said respectfully: "It turned out to be Lord Feng, the little eye is clumsy, and he failed to recognize the adult, I hope the adult will forgive the sin!"
The Feng family jade pendant can be regarded as a symbol in the entire Ling Yan country, and the emperor of the Ling Yan country was afraid that the guards would not know the Feng family symbol, so he had already issued an order to go out, and seeing the Feng family jade pendant was like seeing the emperor's holy decree.
Feng Ziyang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, how can I blame you for your duties?"
The soldier's heart was moved, he never thought that the legendary Feng family patriarch would not have the slightest arrogance, and he was so approachable, which made it even more difficult for him to calm down in his heart.
The soldier bowed and said, "Your Excellency, please!"
Feng Ziyang stepped in, and all the people followed him.
As soon as you enter, you will be infected by the hustle and bustle of the city, the buildings on both sides are stacked on top of each other, and many walls are carved with birds and beasts, which are lifelike. Bursts of shouting can be heard all over the streets, adding to the vibrancy of this bustling city.
As a daughter's family, Xiulan couldn't help but look back when she saw some good-looking jewelry, but she knew that she was just a maid by the young master's side, so she had to hold back the reluctance in her heart, and Shi Shiran followed.
At a glance, she knew what Xiulan was thinking, so she said to Feng Ziyang: "Grandpa, it's too early, and I haven't been out for a long time, so let's see if there's anything to buy first!"
Feng Ziyang listened and said: "Also, you have been working in your courtyard all day to develop a 'magic weapon', and you haven't been to the market for a long time.
Juxianglou is the most famous restaurant in the national capital, and you will know that Feng Ziyang is not afraid that Fengliu and others will not find it.
Feng Ziyang is not worried at all that there will be people in the country who are not good for Merry, he has already seen the means of Merry, just by the person behind Merry, I am afraid that even if he is on top, he may not be able to please him, just look at the guys in everyone's hands, these boys are not easy to mess with!
After hearing this, Merry turned back to Xiulan and said, "Sister Xiulan, the things I need on weekdays are all bought for me by you anyway, so you will accompany me to buy them today!"
Xiulan naturally knew that Merry said this for her, and she was grateful in her heart, and said: "Little young master, the country is very prosperous, and there may be many things that you have never seen, and the things you need for those research institutes may be able to be bought in the country!"
After seeing the scenery, he also shouted: "Grandpa, I also want to follow my eldest brother!"
Feng Ziyang said: "I don't have any opinion, you can ask your eldest brother!"
Although Merry doesn't like the scenery, but after all, he is a "brother", and it is not good to sweep his face in front of his grandfather, although this kid is a little smart, but Merry asks himself if this kid is not his opponent.
Thinking of this, Merry nodded and said, "Then let's go together!"
In fact, the scenery is really not bad, no matter how clever he is, he is just a teenager, seeing the prosperity of the national capital, he has already forgotten most of his father's words in his heart. And after seeing the iron-blooded methods of the people behind the merry, his cleverness is completely useless, so there is no superfluous thought, at the moment he just wants to have a good look, but the merry man thinks too much in his heart.
Although the streets are very spacious, they are a little crowded because of the large number of people and the passing carriages.
The Merry Party naturally attracted a lot of attention, after all, they were followed by fifty or sixty people, and all of them had solemn expressions, and at first glance they were the kind of well-trained elites. And the handsome young man walking in front is obviously the object of these people's protection, and many people have speculated about the identity of the merry.
"Look at these strange people! What are those people holding in their hands?"
"I've never seen it, it should be some magic weapon!"
"These people are certainly not simple, and you can feel the momentum alone. ”
......
A burst of discussion came out, and after hearing this, he smiled, and said to Zhang Hua and Long Fei behind him: "Did you hear, people treat us like monsters, tell everyone not to keep a face, relax, this is the national capital." ”
Zhang Hua was anxious when he heard this, and said: "Young master, don't be careless! The more this kind of place is mixed, the more careful you must be. ”
Long Fei also said: "The captain is right, the young master is still careful." ”
Merry waved his hand and said, "I have my own measure!"
Zhang Hua seemed to realize that what he said just now was a bit overstepping, and immediately bowed down and said, "Young master, I don't mean anything else, I'm completely worried about the safety of the young master." ”
Merry naturally understood what Zhang Hua meant, smiled, and said: "I don't mean to blame you, you arrange it and ask Zhao Tingwei and Li Yan to hide in the dark to protect them, and the rest of the people are scattered, I don't want to be too ostentatious." ”
Zhang Hua and Long Fei glanced at each other, and immediately replied respectfully: "Subordinates obey orders!" The two immediately went down to make arrangements.
Seeing that Merry had sent the guards behind her away, Xiulan said with a worried expression: "Little master, this is a little inappropriate!"
Merry smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay, that's what it's called shopping! Sister Xiulan, let's go! Let's go to the front and have a look." ”
After finishing speaking, he pulled Xiulan into the crowd, but Zhang Hua and Long Fei behind him didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly followed, leaving only Fengguang alone.
Not far behind when he saw the scenery, he shouted, "Hey! Wait for me!"
Xiulan and Merry walked to a jewelry store, there were mostly girls in it, only a few men, all dressed gorgeously, it seemed that they must be from a rich family, Merry was inconvenient to enter, so they waited outside with the two of them.
Xiulan looked at it for a while, and found that a vermilion hairpin was extremely beautiful, with exquisite workmanship and unique creativity, and shouted to the boss after being delighted: "Boss, bring this vermilion hairpin to me." ”
The boss answered, took the Zhu Hai and handed it over.
When Xiulan just reached out to pick it up, suddenly a snow-white jade hand reached over and snatched the Zhu Hai over, and then heard the man say: "This Zhu Hai is so beautiful, boss, how much is it?" ”
In front of her, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman stood tall, her clothes danced like snow, her smile was like a flower, her skin was as white as jade, and her delicate face hung with a delicate atmosphere, and her gestures showed a domineering momentum.
There were also two men beside her, although these two people were dressed ordinarily, but they gave people a sense of profundity, but this kind of person was respectful to the woman, it seemed that this woman was not simple, she must be a rich family or a prince and nobleman.
Xiulan felt a little lost after hearing this, and was more depressed, and said: "This girl, this Zhu Hai is the first thing I took a fancy to." ”
The woman was unimpressed, and said, "Oh!
Xiulan was forced by the woman's momentum, and she was speechless for a while, so she had to nod.
The woman glanced at Xiulan and saw that although Xiulan was beautiful, she was not as beautiful as her, but the clothes on Xiulan's body were gorgeous, and she couldn't tell that she was a maid at all, but the woman didn't take Xiulan to heart, besides, with her identity, she was not afraid of many people in the capital.
Thinking of this, the woman glanced at the person behind her, and the person behind her came over and handed over a money bag, the woman took the money bag and weighed it, and said to Xiulan: "The money here is enough to buy ten such Zhu hairpins, take it!"
Xiulan was even angrier when she heard this, and she didn't know where she got the courage, so she pushed the woman's money bag away and said, "I don't want your money, I just want that Zhu Hai." ”
She originally thought that the other party would be furious when she said this, but the woman was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled and said: "Hehe!
Xiulan shook her head and said, "I'm not the daughter of any family, I don't have that life, I ...... I'm just a maid. In the end, he lost his confidence, and his voice gradually became quieter.
The woman smiled when she heard this, and said, "It turns out that she is just a maid, you can take this money! The tone was strong, and there was no room for negotiation.
After finishing speaking, he threw the money bag on the counter, took Zhu Hai and turned around and walked towards the boss.
Xiulan felt a sense of loss in her heart, but when she saw that the other party was domineering, and she was just a maid, the gap between the identities of the two sides was too big, so she had to swallow her anger.
The woman took the Zhu Hai in her hand, looked at it again and again, and was quite happy in her heart, and asked the boss, "Boss, how much is this Zhu Hai?" ”
Before the boss could answer, a hand suddenly reached over and snatched the Zhu Hai over, and then heard the man say: "This Zhu Hai is so beautiful, boss, how much is it?" The words were exactly the same as when the woman took them away from Xiulan.
