Chapter 16 The capital of the country is turbid
Early in the morning, Ling Tian woke up soon after dawn, he has always adhered to the military norms, he has never been in bed once, every morning to the woods to practice martial arts and sword practice for an hour, and then go back to the room to change clothes and wash, only to the breakfast time in Anli Building.
But today, everyone arrived at Qi Houling to arrive, and it was extremely rare to wear regular clothes, which stunned everyone.
Lan Hai, the second young master of the Ji family, asked him first: "Aren't you on duty today, why didn't you wear a uniform?" ”
Ling Tian replied casually: "Oh, Your Majesty gave me a holiday, and I went out today." ”
The third young master Yun Shen had already seen through his thoughts, and chuckled: "Do you need to get up so early to date a girl?" ”
Lan Hai hurriedly spoke for Ling Tian: "Yun Shen, don't talk nonsense, the fourth brother is different from you, you don't know, the fourth brother has nothing else to do except read books, practice swords and guard His Majesty, where did the girl come from." ”
While eating, Xingzhe watched Ling Tian's expression change, and when he saw that Ling Tian showed a weak expression after Lan Hai said this, he knew that Yun Shen was right, and he reminded with a smile: "Lan Hai, you are wrong this time." ”
Reminded by Xing Zheyi, Lan Hai looked at Ling Tian at this time, only to see his eyes flickering, and he thought for a moment before he reacted - he really wanted to date a girl, and exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? Really fake!? ”
After such a coaxing, Ling Tian frowned and pretended to complain impatiently about "trouble", and was embarrassed to keep it for entertainment, grabbed a piece of pastry and left his seat, leaving the restaurant and returning to the room with brisk steps, unable to hide his excitement in his demeanor.
Approaching the appointed time, he drove to the front of Yu Pavilion, and was about to wait for Yu Yang here for a while, when he looked up and found that she had arrived, and he didn't seem to realize that Ling Tian was sitting in the car in front of him.
Ling got out of the car and walked up to her a little restrainedly, his eldest sister's clothes have always been sweet, but wearing it on Yu Yang shows a different temperament, not so sweet, but a little restrained and green - she is wearing an apricot dress, socks and flower-like lace, wearing delicate little leather shoes, and a high ponytail, so that Ling Tian does not dare to stare at her.
Seeing him, Yu Yang hurriedly stood up and said, "You're here!" By the way, I didn't have time to ask you yesterday, which way do we go to get to the city? Or is it...... Do you have a bike? ”
When they first met, he couldn't scratch his head, and he frowned and asked, "Can't drive?" ”
"Driving?" Only then did she notice that there was a large dark blue iron object in front of her, which did not look very similar to the car she knew, and she asked suspiciously, "Car...... Does it look like this? ”
"If it doesn't look like this, what else can it be?" Ling Tian didn't know that the ordinary car that Mo Yi used to bring her back that day had exceeded the limit of her cognition, and the car in front of her, which had gathered the top manufacturing technology of Wanting Kingdom, was like something out of heaven to her.
No longer waiting for Yu Yang, Ling Tian walked back to the driver's seat, and when he got into the car, he saw that Yu Yang was still stunned, so he opened the door again and urged her: "Or do you want to walk by yourself, I'll drive to the city and wait for you?" ”
Yu Yang hurriedly trotted to the front of the car, groped his way to open the door, and sat in the passenger seat of Ling Tian. Seeing her get into the car, she sat stunned, and Ling Tian reminded her: "Seat belt." ”
"Seat belts?" There were no cars at all on Nimbyeong Island, and there were no rules for driving vehicles, and Yuyang didn't even know what a seat belt was, so she looked around in a panic and asked embarrassedly, "That...... What is a Seat Belt? ”
Ling Tian never thought that someone would ask him such a question, and reached out to the other side of her body in confusion, grabbed the seat belt and fastened it for her, this sudden approach made Yu Yang stiff, staring at the front with wide eyes, and he didn't know where to put his hand.
"Well, this is a seat belt."
"Oooh!" Yuyang Machinery nodded.
The car started, took her to the outside of Ruian City, out of the city gate to drive a downhill road, to the bottom of the mountain, Yuyang only knew that Ruian City also had a moat and a real mountain gate, but she felt strange, why the guards on the road all saluted to Ling Tian's car, and asked him curiously: "Why do they all salute this car?" ”
Yu Yang's question stumped him, he thought about it for a long time, thought of a lie and said, "This car was borrowed by me and the fourth young master." ”
"Fourth Young Master?" For this unfamiliar title, Yu Yang didn't have a little concept in his mind, Ling Tian couldn't help but be a little impatient when he saw that he had forgotten himself again, but before he could have a seizure, Yu Yang had already remembered him, and suddenly realized, "That's it, Ji ...... Ling Tian ...... Right? No, I should call him honorifically, Young Master Ling Tian. ”
Hearing her call her by her name, Ling Tian felt a different throbbing in his heart, and he didn't answer her, but just endured it and didn't let himself laugh.
Ling Tian's driving skills are very good, this car is carefully designed and improved by him, and there is a huge difference from ordinary production cars, Yu Yang sat in the passenger seat and looked at the open scenery, there was no discomfort at all, and he could finally enjoy the scenery along the way.
In order to ensure safety, Ruian City is some distance from the city, and there can be no buildings in the delineated plots, because of this, the car drove for a while before it suddenly became crowded, Yuyang excitedly looked at the suddenly lively scenery outside the window, crowded with people, and there were many merchants, which was ten times more lively than what she had seen in Qingmo Nanlang before, not to mention the gap with Nianping Island.
"Why are there so many people?! I haven't seen so many people since I've grown this big! Yu Yang leaned on the window excitedly, and kept nagging, "Look at you! Is there a restaurant over there? There are so many people standing at the door, why are there still a queue? What's over there? Teahouse? Is it a place to drink tea? Do you need a separate place to drink tea? What's that tall building in front of you? How did it build so high? Seems like someone is still singing? ”
Ling Tian slowed down the car, seeing her so excited, his heart was also very happy, he did not answer her questions, Yu Yang would say to himself for a long time, like a child, full of infinite curiosity about everything in front of him.
When she arrived at the commercial street in the city center, Ling Tian parked her car, Yu Yang held the list in her hand, and looked at this large area of connected commercial streets with a headache, she couldn't understand why there was a commercial street on Nianping Island, why could there be thousands of such streets and alleys here, where are there so many things to buy?
While Yu Yang was still carefully figuring out the list in his hand, Ling Tian took out an iron kettle from the car, unscrewed the cap and handed it to her, and asked, "What does Madame want you to buy?" ”
She was thirsty, hurriedly took the water, drank it for a long time, wiped her mouth and said: "Fabric, only gave me the scene I wanted to design, let me do the corresponding stocking, but this place is so big, I don't know where to start for a while, hmm, do you know anything about this?" ”
Yu Yang said and handed him the kettle, he took it and took a sip, screwed the cap of the bottle, but saw her look at him in surprise, felt strange, and asked her, "What's wrong?" ”
Seeing that nothing had happened, Yu Yang wondered if he was hypocritical, and hurriedly shook his head, but his face was hot, and he was busy looking at the list in his hand. Just as Ling Tian couldn't understand her perception of some things in life, Yu Yang didn't understand his informality as a soldier, and it was normal to drink the same bottle of water together in training.
Knowing that what she wanted was fabric, Ling Tian already had a destination in his heart, and led her into the crowd, but Ling Tian couldn't relax at all, Yu Yang was like a wild horse without control, and saw something novel, and ran forward without a shadow for a while, and suddenly stopped for a while, Ling Tian had to keep an eye on her all the time, thinking that it was hard to guard His Majesty the King every day.
The two of them crossed the distance of one street, and finally arrived at the largest cloth market in the south of Turbidity City, the dazzling cloth hung high, and Yuyang almost drooled, staying in place, not knowing which one to go to first.
"Oh my God...... So many beautiful fabrics! How did you find out here? Well...... Do you hang out often? ”
Ling Tian clasped his hands on his chest, leaned on the pillar on the side, and said lightly: "I rarely go out, but the turbidity of the defense was Lan ...... Regarding the second young master of Lanhai, I have drawn many versions of the whole map of the city for him. ”
Yu Yang sighed: "Madame said let me find a friend to come to the city together, it seems that I have found the right person, thank you, I have done a good errand, I must report to Madame that this is all your credit!" ”
"No, let's go." Ling Tian responded casually and took her into the first fabric store.
As soon as he got into the fabric shop, Yu Yang was as excited as if he had come to a new world, his eyes widened and he looked at many materials that he had only seen in books, while chattering with Ling Tian to introduce all kinds of rare fabrics, Ling Tian just listened, and did not respond, only followed her closely, wherever she went, he followed inch by inch, and did not let her leave his sight for a moment, for fear that she would get lost.
Yuyang carried her official seal, selected the fabric, signed a contract with the store, stamped the official seal and booked in the name of Ruian City, and then she only needed to return to Ruian City with a contract and hand it over to the clothing and food room, and the clothing and food room would send someone to purchase it.
Entering the work state, she quickly completed most of the contents of the list, and at this time, the two came to the area dedicated to selling accessories, and Yuyang looked at the scene in front of her, and her eyes lit up in shock.
She trotted to one of the shops that specialized in buttons, and looked at the shining buttons all over the room, her eyes widened, and she didn't dare to touch them at will, but stared blankly. When the shopkeeper saw her like this, he was amused by her, and asked her, "Girl, is it the first time you make clothes?" ”
"Me?" Yu Yang hurriedly shook his head and said embarrassedly, "I'm from Nianping Island, and I haven't seen a store specializing in buttons, so I'm a little curious......"
Ling Tian leaned against the door and waited, seeing her restrained and shy appearance when talking to the shopkeeper, the corners of her mouth raised a smile at some point.
The shopkeeper was still full of enthusiasm, turned around and took a drawing, and said to Yuyang: "If you don't know where to start, here is the style I found someone to print, you can look at the pick, if you don't buy much, I will give you a few." ”
Hearing that the shopkeeper sent buttons, Yu Yang hurriedly waved his hand to thank you: "No, no, thank you, I can only buy cloth today, they didn't let me buy buttons, I ...... I didn't bring any money with me. ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, she had never seen anyone who went to the market without money, but Yuyang's cute and well-behaved appearance really didn't look like a bad person, the shopkeeper looked at Ling Tian on the side and said, "It's okay, isn't there still your object!" Just let him buy it for you. ”
"What......" Yuyang heard the shopkeeper say this, he was speechless for a while, looked at the shopkeeper at a loss, and hurriedly used his spare eyes to quietly look at him on the side, but he didn't expect him to be flushed and look around uncomfortably.
"Old ...... Thank you so much, boss! I will definitely come to you next time I need it, I am ...... Let's go first! Yu Yang hurriedly said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and walked into the distance in a panic, Ling Tian didn't dare to look at the shopkeeper, nodded nervously to say goodbye, and hurriedly followed behind Yu Yang. The shopkeeper looked at the reaction of the two of them, and the corners of his mouth were already grinning, sighing at the beauty of youth.
Afraid that Yuyang would get lost, Ling Tian hurriedly followed her, and found that she seemed to have stopped in front of another store full of all kinds of lace ribbons, so he stopped and looked at her not far away.
She looked at the lace and ribbons hanging high, her eyes shining, and she was completely fascinated by the dreamlike ornaments in front of her. However, she seemed to remember that she was penniless, and the expectation in her eyes turned into loss, so she reluctantly lowered her head and continued to walk forward.
Browsing through the various shops selling jewelry, Yuyang suddenly felt empty in her stomach, and then she realized that it was noon, she looked up, and sure enough, Ling Tian had been following her at some point, she looked at him a little embarrassed, and said, "It's almost noon, huh...... Are you hungry? ”
Ling Tian was embarrassed to say that he was a big eater, and he only ate a bite of pastries in the morning, and he was already hungry, but even so, he still said stiffly: "I'm not hungry, what do you want to eat, I'll take you there." ”
"Hmm...... I don't know what to eat, we have a lot of seafood restaurants on Nianping Island, and when I come to Ruian City, I just do what I eat, you can find a restaurant you like, and we'll just do it together. ”
Ling Tian went through the map around the neighborhood in his mind, found a mutton noodle restaurant that he had eaten with Yefeng when he had been training in the team before, and led Yuyang to go, as soon as he sat down, Yuyang was shocked by the menu handed by the boss, and shouted in surprise: "Sheep? Mutton?! ”
Ling Tian was a little surprised, and didn't understand why someone had never eaten mutton, but still asked her, "Why don't you change it?" ”
Yu Yang hurriedly shook his head, with a look of determination, and said, "Since we are all here, I also have to adapt to the habits of the Xunli people as soon as possible, hmm...... Sheep...... Is it okay to eat sheep? I've only seen things made of wool, I've seen sheep in books, and the lambs are quite cute...... I didn't expect it to be edible. That one...... Mutton...... What does it smell like? ”
"You'll find out if you try." Ling Tian ordered a bowl of noodles for each of them, paid for it, and the two sat in their seats waiting for the food to be served, when the small talk at the next table came into their ears.
