Chapter 140: Visiting the West Market
After taking care of the matter of Ziwei Stargazing Platform, Wang Gang's mood was also a lot more relaxed, as for the affairs of Jizhou, since the emperor had already issued an order to be handed over to the East Palace to be responsible, it was inconvenient for him to interfere.
Wang Gang continued to start his study path, but Xun Shuang's body has weakened a lot since he went to Ziwei Terrace, except for occasionally teaching Wang Gang the Book of Rites during the day, even the early dynasty rarely participated.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the days go by, as the marriage of the county lord and General Anton is approaching, everyone in the house is even busier, even Cai Yan rarely has time to help her review the etiquette, and Wang Gang, as the protagonist, is idle like someone who has nothing to do, Wang Gang also wants to help, no, he saw Cai Yan send away a few ladies who came to the house, and stepped forward to ask.
"Madam, do you see anything arranged for me, I can do anything"
Cai Yan rubbed his increasingly plump stomach and glanced up and down at Wang Gang.
"Husband, the invitation sent by my father, and these congratulatory messages, you can write them"
Wang Gang was suddenly embarrassed, if he copied some poems of later generations, he might be able to make two famous sentences, what hoeing day noon or the like, it had amazed many people, as for writing or something, it was better to find someone else, not to mention the writing of these invitations, it was not good to write it if he was killed.
"That lady, change one, change another"
Cai Yan looked Wang Gang up and down and handed Wang Gang a list.
"Since the husband is free, let's buy some of the things above, although this marriage is mainly in charge of the permanent subordinate office, but the objects used in the house still have to be purchased."
Wang Gang took the list and glanced at it, his head was big for a while.
He walked outside with the list, took two steps and turned back to speak.
"That, that lady, you haven't given me the money yet"
Ning Er next to her couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud. After his mood stabilized a little, he took out a stack of silver tickets from the inner hall and handed it to Wang Gang.
"General, save some flowers, and there is not much money left at home"
Wang Gang stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket, and when he heard Ning Er's words, he was stunned again, and asked.
"Isn't there a lot of money in the family?"
Wang Gang doesn't care much about these, Cai Yan is generally in charge, taking care of the house, and there is not much money to spend in the house, so he feels that there should be no money to spend.
"The general's was fined for three months, and the family had no business of his own, which was rewarded by the previous emperor. The second lady is there. ”
"Ning'er, don't talk nonsense."
When Ning Er was about to say something, Cai Yan interrupted, glared at her, and then looked at Wang Gang and said.
"Husband, don't listen to Ning'er's nonsense, in recent days, Fujun must have been a little bored studying in the house, it's good to go to the market to see, but the concubine is a little unwell, and she can't accompany her husband, let Ning'er accompany her."
Wang Gang waved his hand, took two entourages, and walked out of the mansion.
Wang Gang vaguely felt that there was something in the house, but he didn't say it explicitly, and looked at the silver ticket in his hand, but it was only two or three hundred taels. It is equivalent to twenty or thirty thousand copper coins, and he glanced at the long list given by Cai Yan again, and his heart was worried for a while.
Although he has been in Luoyang for more than a year, he really hasn't been to the market much, only knows that Luoyang has three larger markets in the south, east and west.
Luoyang Dongcheng District generally lives in some family children, this market generally sells things for everyone, what incense case tea, pen and ink calligraphy and painting, and some high-end clothes and cloth, of course, the most famous restaurant inn, Qinglou painting boat is also in Dongcheng District. The Nancheng District is close to Luoshui, which is some special grain transported from the Central Plains or the South, and there are also some inns and teahouses of a slightly lower grade, and the main guests are also businessmen who go south and north.
As for the market in Xicheng District, it is mainly horses and animal skins, and most of the merchants here are merchants who come and go between the grassland and the Western Regions, and Wang Gang is also a market in Xicheng District.
The entourage of the two rattan armors followed behind Wang Gang, and originally wanted to remind Wang Gang that if he went to buy daily necessities, it would be more appropriate to go to the market in Dongcheng District, but Wang Gang looked slow and leisurely, and it was not easy to speak, so he had to follow Wang Gang silently.
Wang Gang looked at the bustling people, and couldn't help but think of the situation when he accompanied Zhang Yue'er and Red Sleeves shopping in Jinyang City before, and it was strange to say, since Zhang Yue'er entered General Anton's Mansion, he didn't see much during the day, and only when Wang Gang went to the East Courtyard at night, he could see it, Wang Gang wanted to ask several times, but he didn't ask when the words came to his mouth. Thinking about it, Zhang Yue'er still hasn't forgiven him.
Wang Gang first bought a few cheaper supplies, like red letters, lanterns. When I had bought these, I looked down at the list again.
20 liters of millet and 10 liters of white flour.
couldn't help sighing, how did he come out to buy rice and noodles as a big general, it wouldn't be Cai Yan who deliberately made him angry, he was really right.
General Anton's Palace
"Miss, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to let the general buy these?"
"My husband has nothing to do in the house, just go and relax" Cai Yan barely showed a smile, and there was a trace of bitterness in his heart.
She Cai Yan was originally not a jealous person, but since she knew that when the county lord and Wang Gang were going to marry in Ziwei Palace, she felt a sense of helplessness in her heart, but if the county lord married into the general's mansion, she would be even more embarrassed. She asked Wang Gang to buy these things, because she wanted Wang Gang to know that there was a home here, and she should not forget about her as soon as she went to Ziwei Palace.
"But the money is not enough to buy, why doesn't the young lady want the money sent by the second lady, or give the general a famous word......
Cai Yan sighed softly.
"Sister Yue'er came to the house, she was already a little resentful, why am I embarrassed to ask her for money, they were originally in love, but now it has become like this, I ......"
"Miss, I don't blame you for this, if you want to blame the county lord, it's her."
"I will not mention this matter again in the future" Cai Yan's tone was a little more stern, and he glared at Ning Er fiercely.
Ning Er looked scared, spit out her little tongue mischievously, reached out to help Cai Yan up, and walked towards the small garden in the backyard.
……..............................
"General, ahead. . . There was a fight in front"
Just as Wang Gang was still struggling with where to buy millet rice, an entourage next to him said.
Wang Gang raised his head with some confusion and saw a group of people surrounding the door of a shop, and from time to time there were one or two screams from inside, and the sound of some things being smashed.
Wang Gang took two people and squeezed through the crowd, only to find that it was a group of hooligans and the shopkeeper who were scuffling together, and the two sides did not use their swords. It's just that there are not as many long-term workers in the shop as there are hooligans, and some of them are retreating, while others have been put down on the ground, humming and chirping.
Some of the thugs have already stormed the store and started smashing some of the store's belongings.
