Although there is a city gate, there is no one to guard it, as if it is just an ornament.

Shen Mingjiao and the three walked in, and the inner island was obviously much more lively. There were quite a few women squatting on the side of the road and setting up stalls. But it's all barter.

There are concocted fur materials, and there are brightly dyed linen cloths.

Shen Mingjiao curiously picked up a piece of red linen: "How is this cloth dyed?" ”

There shouldn't be any dye here, right?

The woman in front of the stall said the name of a plant that Shen Mingjiao had never heard of. It is said that it can be dyed by mashing it and mixing it with water.

Ruhua walked over, picked up a piece of green cloth and put it in front of her and compared it back and forth, obviously liking it.

Shen Mingjiao sighed, it is really a woman's nature to love beauty, and no matter how strong a woman is, she can't escape this conclusion.

Since she liked it, Ruhua said happily to the stall owner: "I want this cloth." ”

Shen Mingjiao was curious about what she was going to exchange for, so she saw that she took out a burlap bag from her arms, opened it, and there were small piles inside, at least a hundred pearls.

Shen Mingjiao looked straight, she had always been proficient in this way, and she could see at a glance that these pearls were all of the highest grade, and there were several pink ones.

There are so many pearls, just to exchange for a linen, and it's too much to lick the heavens!

The stall owner glanced at him in disgust, "So small? ”

Ruhua really fell in love with this material, she smiled and said: "I have a big one at home, I will give it to you on credit first, and I will bring it to you another day." ”

The stall owner accepted the bag of pearls and nodded reluctantly.

Shen Mingjiao looked at Ruhua speechlessly, happily holding the piece of yellow linen that seemed cheap to her.

Ruhua turned her head and took her hand: "Let's go, go to the opposite side to find the eldest sister." ”

Shen Mingjiao asked, "Are pearls common here?" ”

Ruhua: "What is a pearl?" Oh, you said mussel beads! What about the abundance of things in the sea? How do you want? You want me to go back and get you a basket. ”

Shen Mingjiao: "......" eldest sister, is this a pearl? How to say it's like Chinese cabbage.

She asked tentatively, "How big is the big pearl that the stall owner is talking about?" ”

Ruhua gestured casually.

Shen Mingjiao's heart trembled, that was the best Dongzhu! If there is a good quality, one can be sold for a thousand taels.

Now it is exchanged for this inconspicuous linen, and there must be more than one.

After listening to her words, Ruhua felt incredible: "Your people are so strange, what is so strange about mussel beads, when I was in a bad mood when I was a child, I liked to carry a whole basket of mussel beads and throw them into the sea one by one, listening to the echo, it was quite refreshing." ”

Shen Mingjiao: ...... Can you not be upset? If you are in a bad mood, you throw pearls into the sea, and when you throw them, it will be a basket. What is luxury? That's called luxury.

Cuihua carried the wheat to a stall selling oil, and exchanged a sack of wheat for two barrels of oil with the stall owner.

When Shen Mingjiao and the two walked over, it was obvious that the deal between the two parties had been reached.

Shen Mingjiao pointed to the sack of wheat that was still left, "What about this plan?" ”

"Go to Dr. Zou to change the dressing?"

Shen Mingjiao: "For your grandmother"?

Cuihua nodded: "Grandmother has a cough." ”

Shen Mingjiao's eyes rolled: "Is Doctor Zou's house very close to the Island Lord's Mansion?" ”

"Well, because Su Gongzi is frail, Mrs. Zou has been living in the island owner's house."

Shen Mingjiao: "Then let's go quickly!" ”

Ruhua glanced at him puzzled: "You really want to go to the island owner's house?" ”

"Mmmm, I'm curious about what your island owner looks like."

The owner of the island is the ruler here, and she must know more things than Cuihua and them, so she naturally has to meet the other party in order to find a breakthrough to leave.

At this time, there were several women's discussions around: "I heard that Su Gongzi's health is not good again, and the owner of the island passed down the word, saying that he would collect enough water lily grass to make medicine for Su Gongzi."

Anyone who takes a sufficient amount of water lily grass to the owner's house can exchange it for a satisfactory item. ”

"Sister, what you said is easy, but the water lily grass grows in the dense forests on the South Island, and it is not easy to pick."

"Wasn't Su Gongzi much better a few days ago? Why are you sick again? ”

"It's not because of his oil-bottle son! It is said that when Su Gongzi saw the kid coming back with scars, he was directly angry. ”

"I've never seen a boy like that, he was very wild at a young age, wandering around outside all day long, and often fighting with girls."

"Huh, then he needs to be able to fight? The last time I passed by the alley, I saw him being beaten by several girls, he was beaten badly, and there was blood all over his body, you don't know that he looked at that time, obviously a five or six-year-old child, but that look made me hairy, and it was also a hell......"

The figures of several people gradually faded away, and for some reason, Shen Mingjiao felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she heard these words.

She shook her head secretly, just thinking that her sympathy was overflowing for a while, and she didn't think much about it, there are many poor people in this world, and now she is too busy to take care of herself, how can she have time to take care of these idle things.

A few people soon came to the owner's house, after all, he was the boss of the island, and the residence naturally had to be more exquisite.

A whole row of wide bluestone yards, with a few lush unknown trees planted at the door.

The old woman guarding the door saw a few people coming, her eyes stayed on Shen Mingjiao's face for a while, and after asking them why they came, she said "Wait a minute", and went inside to spread the word.

came out after a while, "You guys are here by coincidence, Doctor Zou will be fine, come in!" ”

The old woman led a few people into the courtyard, Shen Mingjiao glanced at the decorations in the courtyard, and couldn't help but be stunned, if it weren't for the different layout of the house, she almost thought that she had returned to the capital.

She pondered in her heart, it seems that the identity of this Su Gongzi is not simple!

But at this moment, she heard the creaking of wooden wheels against the ground,

Xun Sheng turned his head, and saw a middle-aged man not far away pushing a wheelchair slowly towards this side.

Shen Mingjiao couldn't help but look at the man in the wheelchair, only to see that his face was pale. The emaciation made his originally resolute and heroic facial features a little weaker.

So. At first glance, it seems that he is a sickly boy with a mild temper, but his eyes are dead and cold.

Shen Mingjiao was stunned, not because of the calm coldness in his eyes, but because the feeling that the other party gave her was inexplicably familiar.
