Chapter 101: Whoever Pays the Silver First

The fog is vast, the big ship is moving slowly, standing on the deck, you can hear the sound of the river beating the plank, all at once, it makes people feel inexplicably reassured.

It was hazy in front of me, and I couldn't see the road ahead or the direction clearly.

Shen was in a good mood, probably because he hadn't gone out for a long time, looking at the surging river, he felt that his vision was broad, and his heart suddenly brightened.

She stood on the third deck, and on the second floor sat the folks who had come on board together, just a few steps away, and she could see them sitting next to each other, and she could hear what they were talking about.

These people seem to be a group of small businessmen doing business, and they actually brought like-minded people, and Shen Qu's mood became more comfortable.

"Fengcheng is ahead, our boat will drive fast, and we will be able to arrive in a while."

One of them pointed ahead and gestured to his fellow villagers.

"I heard that the bazaar is huge, have you ever been there?"

"I've been there, but it's been six years ago, and it was very lively back then, and I think it's only going to be more lively this year."

Their chat aroused Shen Qu's interest, and she turned around and walked down the steps to join them.

"Auntie, just now you said that there is a market in Fengcheng, right?" Shen did sit next to the chubby aunt.

"Yes, it's Fengcheng Set, once every three years, and there are a lot of people." The aunt was excited.

"The bazaar is an eye-opener for merchants from all over the world, as well as many exotic goods."

The man said, "I went there six years ago, and I was shocked, so I'm going to take everyone to see it today." ”

"You're going to stock?" Shen asked.

"That's right, Fengcheng is on the edge of Jin'an, what good things are Jin'an is the biggest market, how convenient."

Shen Qu nodded, his heart fluttering.

It just so happened that Mutam asked her to have breakfast, and Shen did tell him that Mutam readily agreed: "Really, there is such a good place, why haven't I heard of it, let's go and have a look together, it just so happens that I also want to make up for some food, we still have a long time on the ship." ”

This was decided, and the big ship sailed in the direction of Fengcheng.

The villagers on the deck really brought their own dry food and water, and while they were eating, the topic of their mouths also shifted from the Fengcheng Market to the terrifying parade yesterday.

"The Pingchang Marquis Mansion is really a wolf's ambition, and I heard that a lot of ironclad evidence of collusion with courtiers and accepting bribes has been found."

"I heard that Yang Zhi wanted to kill herself on the spot and was rescued by His Royal Highness the Prince, if you want me to say that I shouldn't save her."

"It's disgusting to watch their family march without feeling relieved."

"It's cheap for them to distribute the bitter cold land, and the bad things have not been done yet."

……

People like to watch the high-ranking magnates being pulled off their horses and falling into the mud, lamenting that their glorious yesterday will not recur, while sighing that life is still content and happy.

It turned out that Yang Zhi did not die, it was Li Luansong who saved her, and he did not connect the nine clans but exiled their family...... Shen Qu nodded silently in his heart, it turned out that he had listened to what she said.

I don't know what will happen to him if he is gone, I hope he can be well.

"Hey, what a difficult year it has been, eventful."

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost had an accident after the imperial examination fraud case, the official scandal, and the civil strife."

"One by one, I thought that Jitai was coming, who would have thought that there would be an emergency military situation."

"What military information, how do you know?"

"Yesterday, someone saw the fast horse going straight to the capital, thinking that something happened at the border pass."

Everyone sighed, and some women prayed directly to heaven to bless safety.

Shen was worried when he heard this, and his brows were tightly locked.

Behind her, Mutam brought her a cloak, put it on her shoulder and said: "I also received a military report, Warat has long been ready to move, at first provoked our Soto country, Li Luansong helped me, and then it was quiet for many years. ”

"Now ......"

"Who knows what medicine they took wrong, and it swelled to attack Daye directly." Mutam smiled calmly, "Don't worry, this little thing is not difficult for your Royal Highness the Prince, but the Shuofang army has just been transferred to the capital, and it is expected that Warat is trying to take advantage of the loophole." ”

Shen did understand, lowered his head and said softly: "I don't understand these things, and it's not something that we ordinary people should worry about." ”

Mutam glanced at her weak appearance, her heart throbbed slightly, she didn't say anything, she still thought about Li Luansong in her heart.

"It's all a trivial matter, we might as well discuss the arrangements to get to Fengcheng in a while." He digressed the subject, "I'll go shopping first, you and Zelan will go to the market first, and I'll go to you when I'm done." ”

Shen did say good, "You don't need to buy too many things, it's a pity that it will break down after a long time." ”

Fengcheng was very close to Jin'an, and the big ship soon docked, and the villagers left a lot of special products for Shen Qu and Mutam to express their gratitude, and everyone went their separate ways.

Sure enough, the bazaar in Fengcheng is famous, and you can hear the sound of people at the pier, and you don't need to ask for directions to know where it is.

Shen did take Zelan straight to the bazaar, Zelan likes to visit this kind of place the most, and he is so excited that he keeps talking about buying some rouge gouache and jewelry beads:

"I don't like the new things that the lady bought last year, so it's time to replace them with new ones."

Those were bought by Li Luansong before the lotus banquet last year, which was too gorgeous and ostentatious, Shen did think it was too exaggerated, and said with a smile: "We are here to buy, by the way, take a look at the market to understand what kind of fresh gadgets are the most popular." ”

Zeeland said yes, "The lady enters the lady's big goods, I only take care of my small goods, and my responsibility is to take care of the lady." ”

In addition to being very close to the capital Jin'an, the biggest advantage of Fengcheng is that the transportation is extremely convenient, which is also the biggest reason for the wealth of this humble small city.

The bazaar is really lively, there are many merchants, commerce is developed, and the festival once every three years is what everyone is looking forward to, and it is crowded with people early.

All kinds of fresh goods are placed in front of the stalls, there are gorgeous silk products, the mountains and rivers are majestic, and the beauties are plump; There are exquisite handicrafts, simple and lovely, smart and expressive; There are also colorful clay pots and utensils from exotic places, which are practical and chic......

Shen was indeed attracted by the exquisite skill of handiwork, and at the back of the paving sat a lean elder, who was unhurriedly making the things in his hand, and the paving in front of him was also full of gadgets he made.

Looking closely, Shen Qu shouted in her heart, these things are amazing, she pointed to one of the little monkeys and said:

"It's called 'Fishing for the Moon in the Water', a bunch of little monkeys hanging upside down from the trees, and the moon shadow is reflected in the basket below."

The old man smiled and said, "The little lady has good eyesight, so look at what this is." ”

The old man took out a handicraft of a small monkey riding a horse, which was made of bamboo and wood, and the monkey was riding on a horse, which was not difficult to guess, and Shen said: "Seal the marquis immediately." ”

But what is rare is that this horse can still move, and the reins in the hands of the little monkey above swing one by one, and the horse is like galloping, with its four hooves raised, lifelike.

"Well done." She couldn't help but admire, looking at the past one by one, each one has its own uniqueness, the most rare thing is that each one can move, the moving joints are so exquisite, some even the hair is distinct, and it feels clear.

"Old man, how do you sell these?" Shen really likes it, and thinks that this kind of unique thing is the most worthy of collecting.

The old man asked, "Which one does the lady like?" ”

"I'll do it all." Shen did smile, "If you still have it, I still want it." ”

The old man was stunned and looked at her in disbelief.

She immediately asked Zelan to take out her purse and paid a certain amount of silver ingots in the old man's hand: "Old man, this is a deposit, you can do it, I want to do as much as I want, I have to be able to move, it's best to ......"

She thought for a while and said, "It can be with allusions and content, and the price is easy to say." ”

The old man was so excited that he hurriedly said: "The things I make at home are not worth this money, and the little lady gives too much." The old man is a farmer, and today he took advantage of the market to see if he could add some input to the family, and his daughter-in-law had just given birth to a little grandson, and wanted to make up for the two of them. ”

Shen Cheng hurriedly congratulated, "You always look at the blessed person, so let's do it, I'll leave you an address, you go back and do it slowly, and when it's done, go to Jin'an to find the Shen family's craftsman shop, find the shopkeeper Cao, he will discuss with you the time of delivery in the future, if you have no opinion, let's just say it." ”

"The little lady doesn't look very old, can you count when you speak?" The old man was still a little hesitant.

Zelan said: "That's natural, this is our host, you just go." ”

The old man was so excited that his face was red, and he thanked him again and again, and before leaving, he had to give the two of them a pair of delicate rabbits.

Zelan took the little rabbit in his hand and sighed: "This handiwork is really unique, the lady has a good eye, this kind of gadget is most liked by those ladies and ladies." ”

Shen Qu praised her with a smile: "Yo, our little lady of Zelan is also discerning now." ”

Zeeland was shy.

The two of them wandered around the streets, bought all the things they liked, and then they couldn't take them, so they simply sent them directly to the ship.

In front of a puppet paving, Shen did stop.

This is an exotic puppet, with singing singers, dancing dancers and musicians playing the huqin, which are realistic and lively, and although the workmanship is not very exquisite, it is better than the rich colors and exotic styles.

Shen was indeed attracted by a beautiful orchid doll, took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, her clothes and hair accessories were removable, and the stall owner said in an official dialect that was not fluent: "You can also buy these clothes back and change her clothes and hairstyle." ”

"Oh my God, it's fun." Zeeland clapped his hands and said that he would have to pay the money.

Who knows, just as he put the things back in their place, and was about to pay the money, a slender hand reached over and took the orchid, along with other orchids of the same style:

"Boss, I want it all."

Shen Qu turned around and saw a white and elegant face, it was a little Langjun, about the age of his early twenties.

"Xiao Langjun, this is what I like first." Shen did speak to him very politely.

The man didn't even look at her, took out the silver and put it on the case in front of the boss, and said, "Whoever pays the money first is whoever." ”
