Chapter 171: A Dream of Huangliang
There is a saying:
Throwing a brick at the capital and killing ten people, nine of them were officials!
Although this is an exaggeration, it also shows the number of officials in the capital from a certain angle.
Luojing is the thousand-year-old imperial capital, there are not too many dignitaries, and the three dukes and nine secretaries who have been laid off and retired in the past dynasties, as well as the large and small officials of major institutions and their descendants, and the descendants of the royal family, are almost all over Luojing.
In Luojing, you can just grab a local to ask, there are definitely officials among the other party's ancestors and relatives, and there is even a greater chance of meeting dozens of generations of descendants of Emperor Taizu......
"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"
"Miss, it's hard to come out, what do you want to buy this time?"
In the most prosperous street market in Luojing, people come and go, but there is a pair of gorgeously dressed masters and servants, a young and beautiful girl, it is a beautiful time, with a noble temperament, and it is not an ordinary family at first glance.
Even her maid is lovely, lively and cheerful, and her dress is not bad, except for the difference in hair accessories and temperament, she can't see that she is a maid at all.
It is not uncommon for such a beautiful lady and maid to go out to play in Luojing, and even passers-by are used to it, so they are not surprised at all......
This official lady is dignified and beautiful, different from the lively and lovely maid, she has elegant manners.
Faced with the little maid's question, the young lady thought for a while and said:
"I finally went out once, and it happened that I ran out of incense powder last time, so I just bought some on this trip......"
"Miss!"
The maid pouted:
"The incense powder you use is the best goods specially supplied by the royal family, even if the incense powder in this market is unique, it is definitely not as good as the goods of the royal family!"
The young lady was dumbfounded, as if this was really the case......
"However, it's better to come out and have fun, so as not to get bored at home."
Miss smiled, anyway, I came out to play, does it matter if there is a high-quality incense powder?
Wouldn't it be nice to be happy!
Just as they were taking two steps, a breeze suddenly blew, and the two women couldn't help but sniffle, only to feel that a fragrant and elegant smell mixed with wisps of bean fragrance touched their hearts...... (See enhanced version of mung bean cake)
"What does it smell like?"
The maid inhaled hard, and although the strange faint aroma was only lightly brushed, it made her whole mind feel a lot more comfortable, and it smelled better than all the scents of the incense powder before......
No, it can't be said to smell better, although this fragrance is top-notch, but the royal supplies are not bad, but this strange fragrance somehow aroused the appetite of the two!
That's right, appetite!
"It smells so good!"
This strange aroma even the young lady who is used to seeing top incense powder can't help but praise:
"This kind of aroma is not inferior to the royal incense powder, it seems to be emitted by some kind of food!"
"Miss, do we still have to buy incense powder?"
"Not going! How can there be a delicious ...... of fragrant powder"
At that moment, the lady and the maid who saw the joy of hunting followed the strange fragrance through the bustling street market, came to the stall area, searched left and right, and finally found the source of the fragrance:
In the corner, there is a handsome Taoist who is setting up a stall, and there is only a small box on the stall, and if they expect it to be good, the aroma will come out of the box!
But in front of the stall, there was a young man in a Confucian robe who stepped first, and a cyan jade plaque hung on the waist of this young scholar......
……
The avatar was speechless!
I want to attract one or two dignitaries to engage in publicity, why did I come to a student?
The avatar said in as tactful a tone as possible:
"This brother, Poor Dao is really selling incense powder here......"
"Huh?"
The student raised his eyebrows:
"Of course I know you're selling incense powder, but I'm just here to buy incense powder!"
Avatar Stunned:
"You...... What do you buy incense powder for? ”
"Nonsense, of course it's for your beloved! What am I doing with this? ”
The student was dissatisfied:
"Boss, do you sell or not? I'll give you ten taels of silver! Not enough to add more, some are silver! ”
Ah......h
The incarnation is also helpless, to be honest, he really doesn't want to sell it to this brother, and selling it to him won't play the role he expected!
But if you do business, you don't sell it......
At this moment, the avatar noticed two young women walking towards his stall, and realized that the other must be a "fish" caught by his own aroma.
In an instant, he was born out of his heart, and he was no longer obsessed with selling incense powder, but smiled mysteriously:
"Brother Tai, since it is given to a beloved, why should it be limited to the genus of incense powder?"
"What do you mean?"
Too student is a bit inexplicable.
The avatar smiled, took out a bronze mirror from his sleeve that he had bought earlier, and in the incomprehensible gaze of the student, the avatar said:
"This mirror is a secret treasure that I got when I traveled to foreign countries in the past, and it has a miraculous effect on people, rather than giving a woman incense powder, it is better to find another way and give this secret treasure!"
"Secret treasure?"
Tai Xue is obviously not easy to deceive, and he is well-informed, and he immediately sneered and debunked the incarnation's lies:
"Why do I think this mirror is a bit like a shoddy product wholesale in the market next door......
Scold!
The avatar was not alarmed and smiled:
"There is a saying: the gods are obscure. The more treasures there are, the more ordinary they are, how can we recognize strange treasures when we are mortals with the naked eye? Brother Tai took this mirror and watched it carefully. ”
Well?
The half-believing Tai student took the bronze mirror, although he didn't believe the words of the Taoist priest, but out of curiosity, he still looked at the mirror hesitantly:
The mirror surface of the inferior copper mirror is naturally not smooth, but it can barely illuminate the human figure, and there is nothing abnormal at this glance, but inexplicably, he feels a little sleepy......
In the eyes of the young lady and the maid who had just arrived at the stall, they saw that the student with the mirror suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground, staring blankly at the mirror.
"What's wrong with him?"
The maid didn't understand, but wondered why this student suddenly sat down?
But the young lady glanced thoughtfully at the bronze mirror, then at the smiling Taoist priest, and suddenly asked after a long time:
"Does this Dao Master have a [Shaoyin Realm] cultivation?"
Clams?
The incarnation was about to play a trick, but this official lady came up directly with the sentence "Shaoyin Realm", which made him confused.
But then I rejoiced in my heart:
This young lady has come to the right place!
A woman who can know the "Shaoyin Realm" also has the temperament of a nobleman, it must be a lady from an official family, otherwise in a world where cultivation-related matters are blocked, it is impossible for her to ask such a question.
"Meager repair, not enough to worry about."
The incarnation was noncommittal, but said:
"Miss, you're here to buy incense powder? Justly, here's a box of ......"
But the young lady's eyes flashed, and she said:
"Not really."
The young lady said slowly:
"The little woman is more interested in you than the incense powder."
"I don't know if I can appreciate my face and talk to the little woman's restaurant?"
Incarnation:?
What happened? I'm just selling incense powder, why is there still an official lady who takes a fancy to me, because I'm handsome......
Servant girl:?
"Miss?! What are you talking about! ”
The maid was shocked, although the atmosphere of the Yue Dynasty is more open, and it is not uncommon for women to play on the street, but no matter how open it is, an unmarried woman can't go to a restaurant to eat with a man she just met!
Especially the identity of her own young lady is extraordinary, and her family education is extremely strict, how can she be with a strange man......
