Chapter 26: The Ribbon
Looking at the nearly ten-zhang high city gate in front of him, Fuyao once again felt that his height was too short.
Lingdu is the largest city in Wan'an except for the national capital, with a population of nearly one million. Unlike Chang'an, the national capital, Lingdu is the border of Wan'an, bordering many countries and developing border trade.
Looking at the gate of the city where people come and go, Fu Yao meditated in his heart that it has been twenty years since he last came to the earth, although he has not been to Lingdu before, but this Lingdu is not much different from other places except for a little more prosperous, ordinary people are still running around day and night for three meals a day, most of the monks are arrogant, I can't help but feel that for the monks, the years seem to be a vague concept, the length of each day is no different from ordinary people, but because there are more than a hundred years in total, Thousands or even tens of thousands of years of time, so it seems that some people don't care about the passage of time.
Sighing in a flash, when the city guard inspected himself, he handed over the waist card that symbolized his identity, and the city guard glanced at the sign symbolizing the realm of the knot, and there was immediately a trace of respect in his eyes, without any flattering words or actions, just looking at the red figure that was gradually walking away with respect in his eyes.
Monks are common in the Star Elm Realm, and everyone will know that cultivating immortals is the supreme glory from the time they are conscious, but mortals in the world may be born much smarter than other creatures, even if they don't need to cultivate, they can defeat many species that have cultivated but have low spiritual power, although intelligence is an extremely high talent, but it seems that because of this talent, mortals are much more difficult than other species in cultivation.
After countless generations of mortals who struggled to no avail, they seem to have accepted this fate as well. Many countries will do everything they can to get involved with other powerful forces in order to survive the brutal competition and win more than victory. The reason why Wan'an Kingdom is one of the four great powers is because they are attached to the Liuying Sect, one of the three major sects in the fairy world, as the first major sect in alchemy, the wealth of the Liuying Sect is needless to say, and even the Wan'an Kingdom that is attached to them is also the richest among the four great powers, and everyone knows some medical science to a greater or lesser extent. And because the Liuying Sect is all women, so the status of women in Wan'an is generally higher than that of men, not to mention the title of official and lord, even the emperor is a woman, if a man wants to add an official to the knight, he is often ridiculed by the world for being whimsical, that is, although the man who has done some lowly official positions will not be criticized, but it is common to encounter white eyes.
Of course, although Fuyao had heard of these things before, he was able to know in such detail thanks to the map given by Tong Qinian.
It is not a boast to say that the status of women in Wan'anguo is extremely high, as soon as you enter the city gate, you can see that people who need to show up like setting up stalls along the street are mostly men, and most of the people who wander on the road are women.
"In the past, when I passed by Wan'anguo, I was in a hurry, and I didn't go to any of these places to wander around, but I didn't want to be as beautiful as the country described in the book. After Fuyao finished saying this, he hugged Jing Zhi, who almost fell, into his arms.
The cultivation world has always spoken with strength, and people respect or look down on a person regardless of gender, as long as their own strength comes up, monks will look at it with admiration, so this kind of country where women are superior to men is a little novel for a while.
"This young lady, do you like these hairpins, and if so, why don't you buy one?"
A middle-aged male voice summoned the target of Fuyao looking around.
Looking sideways, I saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man, his hair was meticulously combed, and he was held with a wooden hairpin, and the clothes made of coarse cloth were washed and old but still clean, and there was a five or six-year-old boy standing beside him, the patched clothes were also clean, and the stitches of the sewing clothes were dense, if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to find the seams, at this moment the little boy looked at the little cat in Fuyao's arms, with a happy expression, and then said sweetly: "Beautiful sister, the cat in your arms is so cute!"
Looking at Jing Zhi, who seemed to be in a good mood in his arms, he said, "This little guy said thank you for the compliment!"
Sure enough, the child just wants to praise him vigorously, and the more he praises, the happier he is......
"Wow~ What a smart little kitten!" Hearing Fuyao's words, the little boy sighed in surprise, and then picked up a red ribbon and said: "Beautiful sister, the little cat is so cute, do you want to consider buying a small item to reward it? If you reward it, it will become more obedient!" After speaking, he stood on tiptoe and wanted to hand the ribbon in his hand one step closer to the beautiful sister, and at the same time thought that it would be better if he could take the opportunity to touch the kitten.
Seeing that the little boy was so cute, Fuyao said to the middle-aged man: "This child of yours can speak very well." ”
"Being able to get the girl's praise is a blessing for Yan Lu, a kid. When the man said this, he kept looking at the little boy who reached his thighs lovingly, looking at the picture of the father and son filial piety in front of him, and subconsciously glanced at Jingzhi, but saw that he was not abnormal with peanuts in the past, and immediately relaxed.
"Go pick a few things you like. After placing Jing Zhi on the middle-aged man's stall, Fuyao took the ribbon that the boy had been holding in his hand and looked at it.
The father and son were not dissatisfied with Fuyao's actions at the beginning, but they still had a trace of worry, worried that the kitten would be naughty and mess up things after arriving at the stall.
"The pattern on this ribbon is embroidered by Lang Jun?" The ribbon is only a finger wide and an arm long, and it is obviously impractical to use it as a head rope, and although this embroidery is delicate, the back is slightly rough, and Fu Yao can't understand why the man wants to make such a ribbon.
Although it is chicken, I have to say that the composition of this ribbon is extremely exquisite. Red as the base, with silver fine thread as the main extremely delicate embroidery of a large and a small chasing frolicking butterflies, the two butterflies on the wings of the ring dark lines, I don't know what method the author used to appear lifelike, faintly shiny flowing.
"Beautiful sister, this is Xiao Luzi's first finished product! Sister is really Xiao Luzi's destined person!" Without waiting for the man to answer, Yan Lu couldn't wait to answer Fuyao, his tone was full of pride.
Fuyao, who was in a good mood, bent down and quipped: "If my sister is so touted by you, it seems that I will be sorry for your three words 'destined person'~"
"Hey, hey~" Seeing that his intentions were recognized, Yan Lu tried to relieve the embarrassment with an embarrassing smile.
"Girl......" Seeing the shy appearance of his baby, the man was really embarrassed.
"Meow~" Jing Zhi, who had selected his favorite item, called out and interrupted what the man was about to say.
Looking at the pair of red pairs in Jing Zhi's mouth, Fuyao raised his eyebrows and said, "Buy it for me?"
A brisk wagging of his tail was a response.
"If you give me something, you naturally have to pay for it yourself, otherwise what's the difference between it and me buying something for me?" So, Fuyao successfully saw that the other party's tail was no longer wagging anymore.
"Is the girl embarrassed this cat?" Seeing that the kitten was so familiar with human nature, Rao was a man who had never liked to talk too much, and couldn't help but want to persuade its master.
But he didn't want the little cat to shake the golden bell around his neck after listening to the woman's words.
Fuyao: Didn't the bell of the "......" also be sent by himself?
"Boss, please calculate how much the clip and ribbon cost?" decided to ignore Jing Zhi's rogue behavior.
"Ten copper plates, the ribbon is not worth a few dollars, so it should be given to the girl~" A deal was negotiated, and the man's smile became brighter.
"This silk was also made by Yan Lu with great effort, so naturally he had to pay for it. “
Sure enough, the child, who was still a little sullen just now, immediately laughed like a flower.
It seemed to be infected by the other party's emotions, Fuyao also laughed, and after taking out a hundred copper coins from his arms, he stretched out his arm in front of Jing Zhi, and after Jing Zhi flexibly jumped on his shoulder, Fu Yao nodded to the two of them, turned around and walked to other places.
Looking at the heavy money bag in their hands, the two didn't seem to come back to their senses, they glanced at each other and smiled brightly, and then Yan Lu shouted even harder like chicken blood, as if he was infected by the enthusiasm of the father and son, and from time to time, two or three people stopped to buy one or two items they liked......
"I always feel that Ling is a bit big, if he just walks aimlessly like this, it seems that it won't take long to get tired, why don't we find an inn to repair first, and then browse around here, and then we will go to join in the fun when the auction starts in the evening?"
"Guest officer, you're here!" As soon as he stepped into the inn, a middle-looking shopkeeper greeted him, and after greeting him warmly, he said, "May I ask if the guest officer is a sharp or a hotel?"
"Staying in a hotel, a room with a number of days. ”
"Okay, please hand the guest your waist card to the small one, and the small one will register it for you!"
"I'm tired. Looking at the comfortable little second sister in front of him, Fuyao smiled politely, and then handed over the waist card.
The little second sister who took the waist card with both hands didn't seem to have discovered the identity of the Fuyao monk, and went to register with the same enthusiasm.
With a smile unchanged, he looked at everyone in the inn greeting the guests enthusiastically, and Fuyao couldn't help but think of the plaque outside the door of the Tongfu Inn: Whether you are as powerful as a mountain, with thousands of waists, or a cloth coat and two sleeves of the breeze, you are our unique guest.
"The guest officer has been waiting for a long time~ Come, this is your room card. After handing over the room card with both hands, Xiao Er called loudly: "Shen Xi!
After shouting, the second sister turned around and smiled: "Please wait for a while, someone will take you to the guest room soon." ”
Nodding his head in understanding.
"Then objectively, if there is nothing to do, the little one will not bother you?"
"Well, thank you. ”
"Be objective and polite, if there is anything, just tell Shen Xi, Shen Xi has been serving you in the past few days at the Tongfu Inn. ”
"Good. Fuyao, an inn served by a special person, said that it was the first time he encountered it, of course, this is probably related to the fact that she doesn't go out much.
"The little one quits. After a salute, the second sister threw herself into another line of guests again.
