Chapter 34 Visiting the Temple Fair
On the wide official road, all kinds of carriages are galloping in the direction of Rongcheng.
In the carriage of the little princess of Anping in Great Xia, Su Yunfei, Yue Yao, and the little princess were chatting happily.
The carriage of the little princess is really extraordinary, and it is a little more luxurious than the carriage of ordinary large families in appearance, but the space in the carriage is not comparable to the carriage of ordinary people.
The little princess's carriage actually used the magic power of Sumeru mustard seeds, and the internal space was as big as three houses, it seems that the royal family of the Great Xia Kingdom is still very deep.
Although you are a princess of a country, the furnishings inside are very simple, a wide phoenix bed, an ink painting from the secular people, a row of screens embroidered with ladies' pictures to separate the space, a wardrobe with a few princesses' regular clothes, a pot of daffodils to be released, a sandalwood is burning, so that the air is filled with fragrance, refreshing people's hearts,
A square table with melons and fruits, flowers and tea, and three people sitting next to the table, Su Yunfei, Yueyao, and the little princess.
The three of them told each other all kinds of interesting things about the world on the mountain.
The carriage was full of laughter,
The driver for them was an old man who did not smile,
Su Yunfei sensed that this old man was definitely a monk who was not inferior to the Venerable Mirror, because he felt the aura of danger in this old man,
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that the little princess who is the favorite of the dignified Emperor of Great Xia can travel through the mountains and rivers without the protection of powerful monks.
Moreover, Su Yunfei also sensed that several terrifying powerhouses were secretly protecting the little princess, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor doted on the little princess.
Because the carriage was pasted with talismans, the speed was much faster than the usual carriage, and in less than an hour and a half, they arrived at the gate of Rongcheng City.
As the largest city in the south of Great Xia, Rongcheng has a population of five million.
It is divided into the inner city and the outer city, the inner city is the location of the Rongcheng Mansion and the yamen of each government, and it is also the residence of various dignitaries and merchants.
The outer city is divided into four cities: east, west, north and south,
Dongcheng is a commodity trading market from all over the country, and it is also the main venue of this temple fair.
Nancheng is an inn street, and most foreign tourists or caravans choose to live in Nancheng temporarily.
Beicheng is the night city and the only urban area without curfew.
Xicheng is more of a place of fireworks and willow lanes, and the southern women are more gentle, so many tourists or businessmen in the north always like to go to Xicheng, looking for flowers and willows, and spending a lot of money.
The whole city of Rongcheng is 50 miles wide from east to west, 80 miles long from north to south, the urban area is scattered, the streets are wide, and the houses and buildings are lined up one after another.
The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people.
The cloud trees surround the embankment sand, the city is a pearl, and the household is full of Luoqi.
There was a poet in the previous dynasty who wrote a poem to praise Rongcheng, and the poem said:
Good rain knows the season, when spring happens.
Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.
The wild trails are dark, and the river boats are bright.
Xiao looks at the red wet place, and the flowers are heavy in the official city.
In particular, the sentence "Xiao looks at the red wet place, and the flowers are heavy in the official city" has attracted countless people to Rongcheng.
------
Why does the temple fair in Rongcheng attract clouds from all directions, and countless people come from thousands of miles away?
The reason is that Rongcheng is the largest city in the south of Daxia, the scale of its temple fairs, the types of goods traded, and the fun of playing.
It is not comparable to other cities, and only the temple fair in the capital of Daxia can be compared with it.
There are also restrictions on the trading of some commodities in the Great Xia Kingdom, such as some official kiln porcelain, jade, silk, fine salt, etc.
The temple fair will relax restrictions these days, but there will be strict regulations on a certain number of transactions, so it attracts many merchants or wealthy families to buy, and this time they will have to wait another year if they can't buy it.
There are also special goods from the north that will be sold at the temple fair.
The most attractive thing is that the acrobatic troupe of the Western Regions will definitely come to the annual Rongcheng temple fair, and the well-known drama troupe of the whole Xia country will also come.
Therefore, the Rongcheng temple fair has become an annual event in the south of the Great Xia Kingdom, attracting tourists from all over the world, men, women and children. Even many monks will go down the mountain to visit the temple fair and experience the various aspects of the world.
------
The carriage stopped at the gate of Dongcheng City, the city wall of Dongcheng is 20 zhang high, and there are two big characters engraved on it: Rongcheng.
The passage of the city gate is more than three zhang wide, and twenty zhang wide, enough for ten carriages to go side by side.
Su Yunfei had never seen such a magnificent city wall, and he was a little stunned for a while, but the little princess looked at him with disgust, and said in a knowledgeable tone: "This city wall is not huge, you have never seen the city wall of the capital, that is the real grandeur." ”
Su Yunfei touched his head embarrassedly.
They handed the carriage to the coachman, and the three of them began to enter the city,
The people on the street rubbed shoulders one after another, bustling, the bargaining of buying things, the shouting of selling things, the sound of juggling gongs and drums, and the cheers of the audience were combined,
The crowds are surging, all kinds of fancy dresses, and people of all colors abound.
Yue Yao and the little princess Anping were particularly excited, especially the little princess Anping, she said excitedly: "I like this kind of lively place so much, in the palace, my father is busy with government affairs every day, and my mother doesn't have time to accompany me, the royal brothers, the royal sisters don't play with me much because of their respective mothers, the palace maids and guards are afraid of me, although the palace is big, but it is very deserted, it's better here!" ”
Yueyao touched her little head,
Regarding the behavior of being touched by Yueyao's head, she resisted a few times, and after no result, she accepted her fate and got used to it.
Then the three of them walked to a place where there were a lot of onlookers, it turned out that all kinds of items were placed on the ground, each commodity had a certain distance, and someone threw the item from a far away place with a bamboo ring, as long as it could be properly covered, it could be obtained.
There were people who came in hope and returned disappointed, and they watched for half an hour, and only one guy got a small wooden doll.
A young man dressed in brocade said dissatisfiedly: "Boss! Your circle is too small, the item is so big, how can it be so far away, you are purely deceiving, I spent five taels of silver, and I didn't get anything. The beautiful woman next to him also gave her a dissatisfied look to the boss.
The onlookers also agreed with the man in brocade, but the boss was still smiling and did not respond.
The beautiful woman shook the arm of the man in brocade, and said pitifully with her eyes: "Childe, it's good to put on a tael of silver, I especially like that purple gold ball."
The man complained helplessly: "If you don't play, you can't get it at all, I'll just buy it for you." As he spoke, he proposed to the boss to buy purple gold balls.
The boss said happily: "The objects on the ground are not for sale, unless you can use a bamboo trap to trap them!" ”
Just when the man grabbed the woman and turned to leave,
The little princess of Anping pulled Su Yunfei's sleeve and said, "Xiao Yunfei, can you help me circle that porcelain doll, it's so cute." ”
Su Yunfei didn't want to play this, because when he was a child, he went to the temple fair with his parents, and he was also out of ten dollars, but the little princess said that he was embarrassed to refuse, so he bought a bamboo circle of one or two silver, this bamboo circle is really not cheap, one or two silver is only ten.
Su Yunfei took out a bamboo circle, glanced at the porcelain doll, estimated the distance, and then threw it, drawing a beautiful arc, and was about to fall perfectly on the top of the porcelain doll's head, when suddenly the bamboo circle was slightly invisible, brushed the top of the porcelain doll's head, and fell to the ground.
Everyone who was watching nervously sighed at the same time, thinking that they were nine out of ten, but in the end they still didn't make it. The man in brocade was also disappointed and didn't want to continue watching.
Su Yunfei's eyes narrowed slightly, he realized that the faint steam engine was disturbed just now, he glanced at the boss quietly, and said secretly in his heart: "I originally wanted to use mortal means, but you used the monk's steam engine, and if you don't install it, I have a showdown, in fact, I am a monk." ”
I saw that he took out another bamboo circle and threw it at the porcelain doll, and the bamboo ring fell perfectly on the top of the porcelain doll's head. Everyone exclaimed, and the man in brocade who had turned around and left came back, looking at Su Yunfei in surprise, and the boss also looked at Su Yunfei suspiciously.
Yue Yao and the little princess of Anping shouted excitedly: "Xiao Yunfei is awesome! Then happily hugged the porcelain doll that the boss reluctantly took,
Next, Su Yunfei circled the items that Yao and Princess Anping liked for a few months, and the boss's expression at the moment was like eating a dead mouse.
At this time, the man in brocade walked up to Su Yunfei, hugged his fists and saluted, saying, "Brother Tai is really a good means!" Can you help the purple ball in the lower circle? I will be grateful. ”
Su Yunfei waved his hand and smiled: "It's easy to say!" ”
When he was about to throw the bamboo ring, the boss said: "Your Excellency, it's almost okay, I am a small business, and I can't afford to toss you so much." ”
Su Yunfei said-for-tat: "You have to be conscientious in doing business, you use the means of monks to trap the money of ordinary people, don't you feel ashamed of the monks?" Without waiting for the boss to reply, he directly took the bamboo ring and began to throw it at the purple gold ball.
Suddenly, the bamboo circle stopped above the purple gold ball, it turned out that the boss used a steam engine to organize the bamboo ring to fall, Su Yunfei flicked his fingers when he saw this, and the bamboo circle fell in response, and it was successfully circled. Everyone exhaled, and the man in brocade also shouted: "Good! ”
The boss's face was pale, and he stared at Su Yunfei and said viciously: "Since you don't know how to lift, then let's see,"
After that, he threw the purple gold ball to Su Yunfei,
Then he said to everyone: "I'm sorry, I have something to do temporarily, and that's it for today!" Then the boss quickly packed up his things and left,
Su Yunfei didn't care too much about the boss's words,
The crowd couldn't hear what was happening, so they didn't understand what was going on.
The onlookers dispersed, and the man in brocade looked at Su Yunfei and said with a smile: "Can Brother Tai cut love?" ”
Su Yunfei smiled, and then handed the purple gold ball to the beautiful woman next to the man in brocade, and the woman's eyes were full of joy.
The man in brocade saluted and said gratefully: "In Xia Zhuge Feng, people from Hangzhou,
Next to him is Li Xuan'er, if Brother Tai has the opportunity to go to Hangzhou, he can go to Zhuge to find it, and he will definitely do his landlord's friendship below. Dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname? ”
Su Yunfei also replied with a smile: "In Xia Su Yunfei, if you have the opportunity to go to Hangzhou, you will definitely be disturbed." ”
The two clenched each other's fists.
Seeing Zhuge Feng go away, the little princess of Anping whispered: "The Zhuge family is the first family in Hangzhou, and it is very powerful in the entire Qiantang County. In the future, if you go to Qiantang County and mention Zhuge Feng's name, you can really walk sideways. ”
Su Yunfei shook his head and smiled: "I just helped him by the way, and I don't care who he is."
However, I do have the idea of practicing swords in the red dust, and I may travel to Hangzhou.
I'll have to wait until I reach the Venerable Mirror. ”
Yue Yao said with a smile: "When the time comes, let's practice swords together in Hongchen." ”
Su Yunfei laughed.
------
Zhuge Feng walked and walked, and suddenly his figure froze,
He muttered to himself: "Su Yunfei? Could it be him! Regardless of body shape, temperament, and age, he is the same as the genius boy of Shushan Sword Shrine who has recently become famous. ”
Then he raised his head sharply and turned around to chase Su Yunfei, but Su Yunfei was already drowned in the crowd.
Li Xuan'er beside her looked at Zhuge Feng, who was a little abnormal, and asked puzzledly, "Husband, what's wrong?" ”
Zhuge Feng patted Li Xuan'er's hand and said softly: "It's okay, I recognized the wrong person." ”
The two of them continued on their way forward.
