Main City Street in Nancheng District.

In Yucheng, the most prosperous area is actually the main city street of the four major urban districts in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

In terms of luxury, spaciousness, environment and other things, these areas are naturally not as good as the inner city, but in terms of liveliness alone, the main city street is actually much more lively than the inner city, after all, although the inner city is prosperous, but after all, it is only a place for dignitaries, and the population of the entire inner city is not as large as the population of any part of the southeast, northwest, and north.

"Sugar gourd, rock sugar gourd......"

The wide street market is full of the sound of hawkers.

Chen Mu was wearing an inconspicuous plain green shirt, and took Chen Yue and Yu Ru through the market, passing by the vendor of sugar gourds, turning his head to look at Chen Yue and smiling: "Do you want it?" ”

Chen Yue rolled his eyes slightly and said, "I'm not a child anymore." ”

But there was a pause.

He solemnly added: "Yes!" ”

Chen Mu smiled dumbly, looking at Chen Yue's appearance, he couldn't help but miss the little girl who was sweet and sticking to herself all day a few years ago, and in a blink of an eye, she was sent to the inner city to practice martial arts for more than a year, and she has changed from a well-behaved and lovely person to a little eccentric.

"Two of them."

Chen Mu took out a string of copper coins to pay the bill, and handed the two strings of sugar gourds to Chen Yue and Yu Ru respectively.

"Thank you, thank you, Brother Chen."

Yu Ru took the sugar gourd, and responded in a whisper with a slightly red face.

"You're welcome, you can treat me as your brother."

Chen Mu smiled slightly, led the two of them to continue walking, and after turning around, they came to a slightly quieter street located on the main street, where there were a lot fewer people, but correspondingly, it was cleaner and tidier than outside.

The reason for the lack of people in the street is that the shops inside are basically not needed by ordinary poor people, either high-end silk and satin, or all kinds of jade toys, which are basically high-grade shops.

"I see that you used to like those ornaments, but the jade on the vendors outside is mostly of inferior quality, not as delicate as here, in fact, in terms of grade, the storefronts in the inner city are the highest."

Chen Mu looked up and saw a 'Gu Yuzhai', so he stepped in.

Chen Yue followed Chen Mu closely, as soon as she walked into the store, she looked at the exquisite jade ornaments placed in the store and blinked her eyes, Yu Ru next to her didn't react, as the rich daughter of the Yu family, she didn't care too much about what was valuable or not, and then followed Chen Mu in, her eyes were more peeking at Chen Mu, and she didn't seem to care about the ornaments in the store.

"It turned out that Lord Chen came, and the small shop was full of brilliance."

Gu Yuzhai's shopkeeper personally greeted him, and immediately recognized Chen Mu, after all, there are not many errands in the entire Nancheng District, although Chen Mu has only been promoted for a short time, but his reputation has already spread throughout the entire Nancheng.

Ordinary people may not be able to recognize Chen Mu in civilian clothes at a glance, but as the shopkeeper of Gu Yuzhai, what he does is to recognize people.

Chen Mu waved his hand and said, "I'll pick out a few pieces of jade for my two younger sisters and see what is suitable." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at Chen Yue and Yu Ru, and said with a smile: "The two girls are as beautiful as fairies, and the little ordinary jade in the small shop can only be barely used as decorations...... Well, the red hosta here is made of high-quality 'hot jade', which can also be kept warm in the cold winter, suitable for wearing in winter, and the black jade bracelet here is a high-grade 'black jade', which can still keep a wisp of cool in the summer heat. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out ornaments suitable for women to wear.

Chen Yue was a little dazzled, but after picking and choosing, he asked about the price, immediately stuck out his tongue, ran back to Chen Mu's side and whispered: "It's so expensive, it's not affordable." ”

Chen Muwan said: "I said before that I want to make you beautiful, go and choose, I see that red hosta is good, if you are a high-grade Yanyu, one hundred and eighty taels of silver is not too valuable." ”

It turns out that my brother is so generous that he doesn't care about one hundred and eighty taels of silver?

Chen Yue blinked his eyes.

She sneaked back to Yu Ru's side: "Xiaoru, you see which one is good-looking." ”

"Ah, I...... Well, this one is good. ”

Yu Ru was secretly looking at Chen Mu, startled by Chen Yue's sudden question, and commented at a loss.

Chen Yue looked at Yu Ru, and then at Chen Mu not far away, and couldn't help but pout.

But nothing was said.

Continue to look at the jade pieces one by one.

After a while, Chen Mu walked over and asked, "How are you looking?" ”

Chen Yue's little face showed a worried look: "This red hosta is good, but it is uncomfortable to wear in summer, and this green jade bracelet, it is a little cold to wear now, this ......"

“……”

Chen Mu was silent.

This meeting reminded him of some memories from his previous life that were not very good, why did he suddenly take two girls to the market with the wrong tendons, and where to see the scenery is not good.

Chen Mu's gaze swept over the jade pieces one by one, and finally stopped at the two delicate and small white jade pendants, the jade is 'Qingling Jade', the quality is inferior, but the Qingling Jade itself belongs to a rare jade species with extremely high value, and it has the effect of purifying and calming the heart, even if it is a low-grade Qingling jade, the value is more than the high-grade Yanyu black jade.

"This pair of Qingling Pei is good."

Chen Mu rubbed it twice in his hand, then turned around and handed one of them to Chen Yue, and said: "After my father passed away, I thought, I must take good care of you, you practice martial arts in the inner city, this Qingling Pei can calm the mind and calm the mind, and the swordsmanship of Kanshui you have learned is also very corresponding, suitable for you to comprehend the sword momentum, just in a few days it will be your birth, it will be the first gift I give you." ”

Chen Yue took the jade pendant in a daze, looked at Chen Mu's face, and unconsciously there was some mist in her big eyes, she pursed her lips, wiped her eyes vigorously, and muttered: "Brother is so bad, I have to say something that makes people want to cry." ”

As he spoke, he held the jade pendant tightly in his hand.

Chen Mu smiled, then looked at Yu Ru, handed over another jade pendant, and said: "Xiaoru, you and Yue'er are sisters, and I also treat you as a sister, this jade pendant is not a precious thing, so I will give it to you as a plaything." ”

"Ah, I ......"

Yu Ru's little face flushed all of a sudden, vaguely seemed to be hot, and for a while all that came out of her mind was a messy word like 'love token', and when she came back to her senses, she saw that the jade pendant was already in her hand, but she didn't seem to thank Chen Mu yet, and chased out the door in a panic.

As a result, as soon as he went out in a panic, he bumped into another girl who came on.

Chen Mu stood at the door, watching Yu Ru run out helplessly and collide with another strange girl, he couldn't help but show a trace of helplessness, and when he was about to say something, he saw Chen Yue next to him look stunned, and his eyes changed suddenly.

"Oh, who?!"

The girl who collided with Yu Ru was wearing a luxurious satin skirt, and immediately after being hit, she pushed her violently, pushing Yu Ru to stumble back a few steps and almost fall.

After seeing Yu Ru's appearance clearly, the girl was also stunned, and then hummed: "Who should I be, it turns out to be you, you have no mother since you were a child, you have no education, and you don't have long eyes when you walk." ”

Yu Ru was already a little dazed, but this time she stood in place, her angry face turned red, and her eyes were misty:

"You ......"

"Yu Yun! Be careful when you speak! ”

Chen Yue couldn't help it, rushed forward and pulled Yu Ru over, and scolded the girl opposite.

Chen Mu originally wanted to step forward to see what the situation was, but when he saw this scene, he immediately understood, and stood behind with a thoughtful look and watched.

A big family like the Yu family, it is naturally impossible to be monolithic inside, all of them are brothers, friends and brothers, not to mention that martial arts originally need to compete with each other, especially in the martial arts academy, whether it is a men's or a woman's academy, all kinds of open and secret battles are very common.

The girl on the opposite side was called Yu Yun, obviously she was also from the Yu family, and she dared to say tautology to Yu Ru, she was definitely not a side branch, there was no doubt that she was also a descendant of the Yu family, and she was not all the way to Yu Ru.

"When did you speak here about a foreign surname?"

Yu Yun glanced at Chen Yue proudly, obviously not as tall as Chen Yue, but his gaze seemed to be condescending.

The voice fell.

A few girls immediately turned out behind her and stopped Chen Yue aside.

"Chen Yue, you are not qualified to collide with Sister Yun, don't think that you can show off your martial arts if you are valued by the teacher in the martial arts academy, in the final analysis, you are just a person with a foreign surname."

"Then do you three want to give it a try, can you beat me as a foreigner?"

Chen Yue faced three girls of the same age, but he was not afraid, and only said in a cold tone.

"Arrogance."

The three people on the opposite side suddenly showed annoyance.

Seeing that the two sides were tense and seemed to be about to make a move, Chen Mu finally spoke.

"Alright."

Chen Mu stepped forward slowly, and his eyes swept over Yu Yun and a few others: "Shouting and scolding on the street, that's how the commander of the Martial Arts Academy taught you?" ”

Yu Yun frowned, but she didn't know Chen Mu, and said, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm just a foreigner."

Chen Mu said lightly.

Yu Yun looked back and forth at Chen Mu and Chen Yue, suddenly figured it out, and said, "It turns out that you are Chen Yue's brother." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Mu carefully, and then the immature little face showed a proud expression, his pointed chin was slightly raised, and he snorted lightly: "I heard that Sister Hongyu values you very much, but I didn't see anything outstanding, and there are any characters in this poor and remote outside." ”

Let's talk about it.

He turned around and walked off into the distance.

A few girls from the Yu family next to them looked at Chen Mu curiously, although they were in the inner city martial arts courtyard, they were not ignorant of the things outside the Yu family, Chen Mu's name had been heard many times, it was said that Xu Hongyu was the person he liked, and it seemed that he also intended him to marry a girl from the Yu family.

But it seems that in addition to being handsome, there is nothing special about it, and as Yu Yun said, what kind of characters can be produced in the remote countryside of the outer city.

Several girls quickly turned around and followed Yu Yun away.

Chen Yue looked at this scene, pursed her lips angrily, and then looked at Yu Ru on the side and whispered: "Xiaoru, she has always spoken harshly, you don't pay attention to her, it's ......"

Yu Ru bit her lip, there were still some tears in the corners of her eyes, and when she heard Chen Yue's words, she raised her sleeve and wiped away her tears vigorously, and said:

"Hmm."

Chen Mu watched a group of little girls from the Yu family leave, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, he was not interested in being angry with a few little girls, but this Yu Yun did not like him very much.

The pride of the children of the family seems to be engraved in the bones, similar to He Mingxuan, they are all above the top and contempt for everything, and they are probably a little bit like a female ghost.
