Volume 1 Chapter 56 Traveling Together
It is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a good time to fall in the flowers.
When Zhuo Yuming opened the door and saw the tall and slim Shu Jinran outside the door, this poem popped up in his heart inexplicably, and he didn't know which book he had read before.
"Zhuo Gongzi, didn't disturb your rest, did you?"
Shu Jinran smiled.
From last night to now, Zhuo Yuming found that Shu Jinran seemed to be a woman who loved to laugh. She has a small dimple on her right cheek, and when she speaks normally, she will invert shallowly, and when she really laughs, she is really beautiful.
"No, Zhuo has woken up a long time ago. I was just afraid that Miss Shu would sleep late yesterday, so I didn't dare to disturb it, so I simply practiced in the room for a week. I was just about to go to find the girl, but I didn't expect Miss Shu to come first. ”
Zhuo Yuming's reaction this time was not slow, and he turned sideways and let Shu Jinran in.
After chatting casually, the two went on a trip together and walked around the city.
Hearing that Zhuo Yuming wanted to acquire two top wind and fire exercises, Shu Jinran took Zhuo Yuming straight to several places in Xicheng that were dedicated to exchanging and selling exercises for monks from all over the world. It's a pity that the two of them turned around for a long time, and they didn't encounter exercises that could enter Zhuo Yu's eyes. I went to several stores in a row, but I got nothing.
Zhuo Yuming was not in a hurry anyway, after all, the top-level exercises were so easy to encounter. If you really can meet any barter place in this demon city, it will be really good luck, and luck will be against the sky. However, Shu Jinran took Zhuo Yuming to run a few places but didn't find anything, but was slightly disappointed. As a result, the person who did not buy what he needed went to comfort the person who led the way.
Shu Jinran saw that Zhuo Yuming was open-minded, so he no longer struggled, so the two of them walked slowly on the long street full of shops in the west of the city. Shu Jinran may not have wandered around the west of the city for a long time, so he just took advantage of this leisure time to take a look around in the major shops in the west of the city. Zhuo Yuming, who was already carrying one treasure and three forbidden treasures, naturally didn't have any magic weapons and spirit treasures to buy, and he hadn't seen anything that was very much needed for spiritual plant pills, so the two of them went shopping for a long time, but they still didn't get anything.
Zhuo Yuming, who was walking around a store, suddenly found that Shu Jinran on his side had stopped, and when he looked back, Shu Jinran was looking at a phoenix-tailed hosta in his hand.
Zhuo Yuming turned around and walked in and looked at the hosta in Shu Jinran's hand. The hairpin is full of jasper, and the tip of the tail end is also inlaid with a circle of gold edges, and the hairpin head is carved with topaz to carve a phoenix. The phoenix bows its head and wings, its tail feathers hang long, and the phoenix tail is embedded with a few fine gemstones, which shine in the sun. It is indeed a hairpin in good condition, and it can please women very much.
It's just that Shu Jinran doesn't use powder without makeup, and there are no jewelry accessories on his body except for a pearl and jade hairpin inserted in his hair bun, except for a pair of gold silk embroidered cloud boots that are slightly fatty, even the robes are the corsetes that martial artists are used to. With her dress, it is said that she doesn't like these beads and hairpins and other accessories, but she would show such a look on a hosta, Zhuo Yuming is really a little curious.
"Shopkeeper, how did you sell this hairpin?"
Shu Jinran held the hosta in her hand and asked the boss who was lying behind the counter.
The owner of this sundries shop, called "Baiqi Pavilion", is a middle-aged man, who is kind and elegantly dressed.
The middle-aged shopkeeper was leaning on the cabinet at this time looking at a book in his hand, and there were usually few customers in the morning, and the store was not busy. Hearing that some guests inquired about adding money, the boss put the scroll in his hand into the counter, raised his eyes to look at the hosta in Shu Jinran's hand, and said with a smile: "This hairpin is called Yugui, and the head phoenix carving is made of soft mutton fat jade, which is a specialty of Xuyunzhou, which has the effect of clearing the heart and concentrating the mind." The price is twelve spirit stones. ”
"Okay, I want this hairpin. Shu Jinran nodded, and without making a counteroffer, he took out twelve spirit stones from the storage spirit weapon and put them on the counter, then turned around and went out.
Zhuo Yuming hurriedly followed.
"Does Miss Shu like this hairpin very much?"
Seeing that Shu Jinran just put away the hosta and did not insert it in the hair, Zhuo Yuming couldn't help but ask curiously.
Shu Jinran glanced at Zhuo Yuming and said in a low voice: "Well, this hairpin is very similar to the one my mother wore before her death." Except for the slight difference in the shape of the phoenix tail, even the color is almost the same, so I bought it. ”
Zhuo Yuming nodded when he heard this.
After the two bought hairpins, they continued to walk along the long street. After a few more shops, neither of them bought anything. Seeing that the sun was rising, Zhuo Yuming proposed to find a wine shop and buy some food.
Shu Jinran took Zhuo Yuming to a frequented wine shop.
The wine shop is not big, and it is only one floor. The interior of the house is simple but clean and tidy. After the two of them casually picked a table by the door and sat down, the boss came over to greet Shu Jinran. Shu Jinran chatted with the boss with a broken arm, then ordered a few dishes at random, and after asking Zhuo Yuming, he asked for a pot of wine.
"I come to this shop a lot, and the taste is somewhat similar to that in my hometown. This boss is very good, he was originally an eight-rank martial artist in Qixia Prefecture, and later he was torn off an arm by a big demon on the battlefield, so he opened this wine shop here. His family's wine is not an immortal wine, it is just ordinary wine, Zhuo Gongzi is not surprised. ”
After Zhuo Yuming sat down, he took two porcelain cups, picked up the kettle on the table, and poured a glass of water for Shu Jinran and himself. Listening to Shu Jinran's polite words, she also replied with a smile: "Miss Shu is polite, I never care about the immortal wine on the mountain or the secular water wine." Wine does not depend on the quality of the product, nor does it matter whether it tastes good or bad, but the important thing is to look at the person who drinks it and the mood of the drinker. Being able to drink at the same table with Miss Shu, even if it is a secular wine, it is better than the Xianjia wine. ”
Shu Jinran sneered, looked at Zhuo Yuming with playful eyes, and said with a smile: "Zhuo Gongzi, if your words are put on a secular woman, you will be scolded as a disciple." ”
Zhuo Yuming also laughed: "Miss Shu is a rare female martial artist, how can she be compared with a secular woman with such pride and ease." If there is something abrupt in the previous words, then you will punish yourself with three cups later. ”
At this time, there are not many diners in the wine shop. While the two were chatting, a plate of dishes was put on the table one after another, and the man brought a celadon pot and two porcelain bowls for wine, and left after saying a slow word.
The two of them each took the bowl and chopsticks, poured them full of wine, and began to eat and drink on this wine and dish.
"That's right, Miss Shu. Now that the situation in this town is not good, why are you still staying in the city and not leaving?"
Zhuo Yuming put down the wine bowl and asked Shu Jinran curiously.
Although Shu Jinran is a martial artist, she is a woman after all, and she drinks and comes to the side of the ordinary martial artist. She took a shallow sip of wine, and after listening to Zhuo Yuming's question, she didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Then why did Zhuo Gongzi also stay in Demon Town?"
"After all, I just came, so I can't just lose a battle and leave. And I want to see where this war will end up here. ”
Zhuo Yuming drank all the wine in the bowl and said lightly.
