Chapter 170: Jiangning Night Market

Jiang Huaifu raised his head, with a little helplessness in his eyes, "What do you say I will take you to, is it possible that I am going to the kiln to drink a lot of wine?" ”

Song He'er understood the meaning of his words, and felt a little unhappy in her heart, could it be that she took gunpowder when she came out today?

The boat slowly moved along the river, and it was about an hour before the boat slowly approached.

As Jiang Huaifu said, the boat docked in a hidden place, and after the river narrowed, there was a lot of irregular land next to it, and there were dwarf pines growing on it, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see that there was a boat hidden here.

"I'll go down first, you can change your clothes and come down, I'll wait for you in front."

Jiang Huaifu threw down a sentence indifferently, and then got off the boat.

Song He'er glared at him, reluctantly changed into the skirt that was really not very good-looking, and then slowly got off the boat with a steady step.

Jiang Huaifu is also quite careful, and even specially prepared a bib for her, so that no one can see her true face with a light veil, which can be regarded as a kind of protection and respect for her.

"When we come out today, we may not go back soon, because in a place like Jiangning, there are relatively few people doing business during the day, and they all come out at night to make a living, and the market is full of people, which is very lively, which is suitable for us to visit."

Jiang Huaifu's tone was much softer than before, he was really a quirky man, and his mood was all random.

"Then why didn't you say it before?"

"What?"

"Then when you just picked me up, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were going to come out for a long time, and now that I have arrived in Jiangning, even if I want to return immediately, it will be too late, isn't it? can only follow your idea and go to the night market in Jiangning, even if my aunt is worried, there is no other way, so what you say now is nonsense. ”

Song He'er's words seemed to speak to Jiang Huaifu's heart.

Seeing this, he replied with a smile: "Since you know, let's go, anyway, if you want to live, you must have the ability to dare to fight, if you are afraid of one step forward, and five steps back, then what kind of business do you have?" ”

Song He'er glanced at him, although this glance was innocuous and insignificant, but in the end, it also made Jiang Huaifu a little uncomfortable.

Jiangning is indeed much better than the Nanzhao border city that I went to before, there are tall restaurants and teaching visits everywhere, which can be used by literati and scholars to listen to books, and there are also past merchants who listen to music and taste tea, looking from afar, it is all extravagant.

Even in the Shangjing City of the Central Plains, it is difficult to see this pleasant scene.

"How about it, compared to your Shangjing City in the Central Plains, it won't be inferior here, right?" Jiang Huaifu asked suddenly.

Through the hat, Song He'er suddenly felt that the person in front of him became dreamy, "Although it is more lively here than the capital, but each place has its own advantages, the Central Plains people are not good at business, most of them spend their minds on the foundation, a lot of business is done with neighboring countries, we have good geology, there are mines, there is no need to waste time on handicrafts, of course, if the Central Plains can produce and sell itself, then how to feed you Xizhou and Nanzhao, you must know that many things are bought by our Central Plains, That's why you're so rich. ”

After saying a series of words, Jiang Huaifu's face was a little unnatural, as if he had lost his dignity by being taken advantage of, so he didn't know how to respond for a while.

"I haven't forgotten that you're a Central Plainsman."

"I want to forget, and I don't want to mention it again, but isn't that Childe reminding me all the time, so I don't dare to forget my identity."

The little guy behind him coughed lightly and reminded: "Two, pay attention to the occasion, there is a pass ahead, there may be soldiers checking our customs clearance documents, don't talk and leak your breath." ”

Jiang Huaifu nodded, and immediately restored his 10,000-year-old iceberg appearance.

Approaching the pass, there were indeed several men wearing the same robes, holding spears and walking towards several people.

"What are you doing in town? Please present your customs clearance documents. ”

The little guy behind him was very well-behaved, and hurriedly took out a small yellow notebook with gold painting from his arms and handed it to the soldier.

"Please."

The tall men in front of him took a closer look at the words on it, and then looked Song He'er up and down.

"Where did it come from?"

"Isn't it written on it?" Jiang Huaifu replied coldly.

"Take off your bib."

"Nope."

"Presumptuous, this is Nanzhao! It is the rule of our lord that you merchants from other places must go through strict checks before entering the city, otherwise, you will return immediately! ”

The man spoke in a very arrogant tone, as if someone else owed him eight hundred dollars.

Song He'er stretched out a pair of swollen red hands, and then pretended to cough lightly a few times, "I've had measles these days, so I have to wear a hat to cover it, if I take it off, I'm afraid it will be too sick to the two officials, so let's let us go." ”

Although those soldiers were very angry, they were also greedy for life and afraid of death, after all, measles was a very serious infectious disease in ancient times, and if it was not treated carelessly, it would kill you.

"If you have measles, why don't you recuperate at home and go out and walk around? If it is given to the people of Jiangning City after the illness, what should it do? ”

After this question, Song He'er was a little flustered, she really didn't expect this.

If they only said that they were sick, the officers and soldiers would let them go, but who would have thought that these individuals would not be difficult to deal with, and they would not let them pass through again and again.

Jiang Huaifu lowered his face and asked coldly: "If we want to go into the city to do business, naturally we can't take care of a lot, we just need a lot of protection, aren't you afraid that the people above will blame us for stopping us like this?" You also know this customs clearance document, which has gold edges and gold characters tattooed on it, this is not a document issued to ordinary people, do people like us need your permission to enter the city? ”

After a series of questions, the soldiers defending the city were really a little afraid, and one of them let the person next to him take a closer look at the handwriting on the document, only to see that the person shook his head again and again.

"Alright then, you go over, but don't take off your hats, lest you get sick to the people of the city."

Song He'er didn't speak, turned around and entered the city with Jiang Huaifu.

Only the little guy behind him replied respectfully: "Yes, we know." ”

Before the two of them could go far, they were wrapped around their arms by a man who suddenly appeared.

"Guest, help me! Help me! ”
