Chapter 229: Qixi Night Ming'an is in Distress, Midyear Festival Makes Waves Again (2)
"This Da Li is worthy of being a big land, our Xirong is really incomparable...... "Ming'an Wang Ji is not the first time to sigh at Da Li's wealth and strength.
A real strong country is not to invade a few countries and gain as many foreign lands as possible, but to protect its own people, so that ordinary people can have food and clothing.
In fact, today's Da Li is not everywhere and Jingzhaocheng Qixi Festival shows such a quiet good, behind it is the concern of internal and external troubles, people who have not sat on the throne, feel that the imperial power is easy to come, and enjoy it; The land is thin and sparsely populated, and the territory and resources of Dali are missed.
The emperor is not easy to do, and there have been many natural disasters in recent years, and ordinary people are also not happy. From the emperor's relatives to the common people, which one is easy?
Listening to Ming An's words, Lord Ming Jing only felt naΓ―ve. But when you think about it, isn't Xirong also worried about the princess's mother's family? But where there is heavy profit in front of us, there will be no possibility of stopping.
The market of Qixi Festival has a history of hundreds of years, even in the White Dynasty, at this time, it is also the season when ordinary girls' families can go to the street to have fun.
Now, the status of the girl's family has obviously improved, and the people on the street will naturally not be less, and the hawkers have naturally seized this opportunity, wanting to make a lot of money, so that the real and fake, good and bad, are all gluttonous together, calling the already noisy bazaar, adding a bit of chaos.
"Ming'an, there are people coming and going in this street and alley, don't be too far away from me." Ming Jing was afraid that she would accidentally lose her sister, and she couldn't wait to tie someone to her body to feel a little more worry-free.
The last thing Ming An wants is to be detained, and finally that Yexi has been following behind him and a tail recently, but his sister Jing refuses to let go of herself: "Sister Jing, I'm not young now, where will I lose it in this Jingzhao City?" β
Knowing that no matter how much she continued, it would be useless, Ming Jing simply chose not to say anything to Ming An, but her eyes kept staring at Ming An, and she didn't dare to turn away at all.
"Two of you come to taste our grapes? But the good things from the Western Regions can't be seen by ordinary people on weekdays. β
This can be said to be unattractive to the two Wang Ji from Xirong. Not to mention the quality of this thing, or whether he had eaten enough when he was in Xirong, even now that he has come to Jingzhaocheng, Li Jing is indispensable to share the melons and fruits from Xirong with the two.
"The two girls still come to taste the fruit from the south, the dried fruit of the grape is still easy to buy in Jingzhao City, but the fruit of the south, after this season, I can't eat it!"
The purple-black fruit exudes a unique aroma, and the old man in front of him looks very honest, Ming Jing knows that his sister has always liked to eat some snacks, and approached the stall with a smile.
"Would you like to eat?" Turning his head to look at Ming An, Ming Jing turned sideways to make room for the former to see the things on the shop clearly, "It looks really good, if you like it, buy some to eat on the road." β
Ming Jing heard early that there was a lantern viewing activity on the riverside, and the ordinary people of Dali had the ability to do it, that is, those private handicraftsmen, who made things, may not be without the dexterity in the Taiji Palace.
Therefore, this folk lantern viewing activity is really very interesting, whether it is for fun with the people, or simply to enjoy leisure, many rich and noble families in Jingzhao City will also go to join in this excitement.
As the two sisters were talking, the old man was also enthusiastic, and he held up a piece of fruit on the leaves, and wanted to hand it over to Ming Jing to taste: "Girl, taste this fruit, taste it, if you don't like it, forget it, it's not too late to buy it if you like it." β
Unable to resist the enthusiasm of the owner of the shop, Ming Jing is naturally not a person who makes a small profit, although he carefully took it and held it in his hand, but he just handed it to Ming An and asked what the latter meant.
Who would have thought that Ming An only glanced at it, and then opened his mouth to refuse: "This fruit is too expensive, it is better to buy something else with silver money." β
When did my sister still be afraid of spending money? In Xirong, neither of them is short of money, and when they come to Jingzhao City, they are even more lacking, and Ming Jing knows that the former must be an excuse to refuse.
Ming An has always been outspoken, if he asks here, maybe something is going to happen, what is the reason, and the sister still plans to ask in a different place.
smiled and said hello to the owner of the shop, and carefully put the fruit in his hand in a flat and clean place on the table, thinking that it would not affect the old man's sale.
After doing all this, Lord Mingjing turned around and was about to leave, only to feel as if some silk thread had been crossed on his hand, and it was slightly itchy...... was just thinking about his sister, and the former didn't pay attention.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Wang Ji of Ming'an had already fallen for this so-called southern fruit once, he would not have refused so simply.
Not long after he came to Jingzhaocheng, Ming An felt strange when he saw everything, and he was naturally interested in this fruit, so he was fooled into buying a lot to taste, and the more he ate, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Until now, every time Ming An sees this fruit, he thinks of Yexi that day, ostensibly to persuade himself not to buy it again, I'm afraid I don't know how to laugh at myself in my heart!
"Girl, is it really inappropriate for the girl to leave after she can't sell the things in my shop?"
The old man was obviously not as simple as he appeared on the surface, and he reached out to pull Mingjing's sleeve and block the way of the two, "Girl, look at this fruit, it is all polluted by sand...... soil"
The owner of the shop shouted at the two voices, and there were many people who watched the excitement, the things sold in this market were real and fake, and there were several good shows to watch every year - as long as there are interests in the place, no matter how good the education is, it is impossible to take care of everyone.
"This thing may not be much to the girl...... Woo, for me, my old man, the whole family is pointing at me, pointing at me to do this business to support my family......"
If this old man doesn't come to sell things, if he goes to the theater garden to act, he will have to make a lot of money.
Now, how could Ming Jing not be able to reflect the cause and effect of this incident? It's just that the more deceitful people are, the more they will never tolerate it, and now they let it go, and when the time comes, they will let such people extort themselves from the poor, and they will also let them harm others.
"Seeing that you are dressed so well, you have to be a concubine of a rich family, and you don't even pay for the money if you do something wrong?"
"That is, it is not easy for anyone to do business here, if you have money, you can not care about the life and death of others, and do such a careless thing that cares about people's lives?"
Most of the ordinary people watching from a distance sighed, and they didn't take the initiative to speak, but the group of strong men in front of them, you say a word to me.
Ming Jing clearly knew that these people were probably in the same group as the owner of this shop, and the purpose now was to scare himself, and as long as he didn't report to the official and settle the knot privately, he would be able to make a good sum of money.
"Ladies and gentlemen, report to the authorities! These people think ......"
Ming Jing, who was still thinking about how to solve this matter, suddenly had a 'buzz' in his ears, and all the noise around him was no longer in his ears. took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it to the strong men who were chanting words nearby, Ming Jing was completely panicked - Ming'an Wang Ji was gone!
