A handful of delicate folding fans with ivory as bones and silk as the surface, as well as this intoxicating fragrance, must be impregnated with very precious spices.

Such a folding fan must be very expensive!

An expensive folding fan is now being used to play handsome, which is almost unimaginable in the town of Lean.

Seeing the slight knowledge, it seems that this upcoming Jieshui City, the impact he will bring will not be small.

Different places use different cultures, either because of the gap between the rich and the poor, or because of the geographical gap, or because of the personal preferences of those who are in power.

Sensing Meng Li's gaze, Xiao Zicong handed the folding fan to Meng Li and said with a smile: "This white jade elephant bone fan is the proud work of Mr. Zhu Ziqian, the master of fan making in Jieshui City, if you like it, you might as well play with it!"

Hearing this, Li Yan, who didn't plan to interject, couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is the white jade elephant bone fan?"

Xiao Zicong looked at Li Yan and said in surprise: "This young lady also knows about the white jade elephant bone fan?"

As soon as the folding fan was closed, he handed it to Li Yan with both hands.

Steward Wang, who was standing on the side, wanted to take the folding fan instead of his own lady, but was stopped by the latter.

Li Yan took the fan with both hands, opened it and folded it up, and sighed: "What a fan! It is worthy of Master Zhu's work of sealing!"

Xiao Zicong said: "I didn't expect that Miss is also a fellow believer!"

Li Yan held the folding fan in his hand and said: "A few years ago, I heard that Master Zhu wanted to make a bone fan as his own sealing work, and the slave family thought about asking for his father, but he never wanted to be one step late, and when he arrived at the master's house, the master had already given the bone fan to his friends. As he spoke, he handed the folding fan back with both hands, "It turns out that Mr. Xiao is the friend in Master Zhu's mouth." ”

When she returned the folding fan, she showed reluctance on her face, but this emotion was well hidden by her, and it almost disappeared in a flash, and even Xiao Zicong on the opposite side didn't notice it.

Xiao Zicong took the folding fan and sighed: "Famous swords are given to heroes, treasures are given to beautiful women, this thing is favored by the young lady, and Xiao should be an adult." It's just that I've already said before that I'm going to give this thing to this little brother, so I can only apologize. ”

"Mr. Xiao is too worried, it is the slave family who is abrupt. ”

After that, the two looked at Meng Li at the same time.

Xiao Zicong said: "Little brother, you are willing to take my heart." ”

Meng Li looked at this man who gave people a sense of kindness, but his heart was not kind, what did it mean that this Xiao Zicong gave him such a big gift as soon as they met.

Could it be that people on the rivers and lakes are like this, people are stupid and have a lot of money?

Famous swords are given to heroes, and treasures are given to beautiful women.

Although the words are true, he deserves it.

This is what the so-called reactive power does not fail.

Meng Li looked at the white jade elephant bone fan within reach, but what he thought about was the scene when his mother exhausted her energy to put the wooden knife in his hand.

Judging from the conversation between the two just now, the value of this folding fan is probably not much different from that of his own wooden knife!

"I appreciate Brother Xiao's kindness, but I can't accept this white jade elephant bone fan. ”

Xiao Zicong said in frustration: "I understand what the little brother meant. ”

Riding on the excitement and returning home, the gifts were not delivered, and it seems that this friend can't be delivered.

Xiao Zicong put the folding fan in Li Yan's hand and said with a wry smile: "Although it's a little late to say this now, I still ask Miss Haosheng to keep this thing." ”

Li Yan also shook her head and refused: "Mr. is the destined person for this folding fan, and the slave family does not dare to take away people's love." ”

Xiao Zicong nodded, didn't say anything anymore, took back the folding fan, and then turned around and left after hugging his fists at everyone.

Meng Li looked at the other party's lost back, and felt a little uncomfortable. said to Li Yan, who was standing side by side with him: "You say, isn't it a little cruel for us to reject him like this?"

Li Yan smiled: "That Mr. Xiao is not injured, the slave family does not know, but the slave family is still very hurt in their hearts." Meng Gongzi, do you know what a precious treasure we rejected just now, the white jade elephant bone fan shot by Master Zhu, but even the famous fan that is highly respected by the saints today!"

Meng Li said: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, I am used to living a poor life, and I am too lazy to let myself change, this kind of useless thing, I think it is better to forget it!

Li Yan's face under the white veil showed a smile: "Why did Childe say that?"

This young man named Meng Li has been silent all the way, and almost all of them use knife practice to pass the time, let alone favor anyone. It's a matter of chatting with Steward Wang, but it's all about practice, and ten out of ten martial arts idiots.

Meng Li said: "I saw that Miss Li was extremely eager for that bone fan just now, and I thought that you would not be able to help but accept it." ”

Hearing Meng Li say this, a look of surprise flashed in Li Yan's eyes, she was indeed a little reluctant when she returned the bone fan just now, but it was only fleeting, she thought that no one could detect the abnormality under her white veil, but she still couldn't escape Meng Li's eyes.

She was not mistaken, this young Meng Gongzi was indeed a little extraordinary.

Meng Li smiled dumbly: "I'm sorry for saying something I shouldn't have said." ”

Li Yan chuckled and said, "Childe doesn't need to mind, besides, you're right, I really like that bone fan." Seeing that the son was unwavering, he couldn't help but be heroic once. ”

"I see!"

Hearing that Miss Li was influenced by herself, Meng Li laughed and said, "The reason why I rejected him is my own problem, Miss Li, you don't have to, not to mention how much you love that bone fan, even as a woman, you should enjoy the privileges that women should have."

Li Yan showed a wry smile.

It is true that women will always have more privileges than men.

For example, receiving gifts!

Walk through rows of wooden houses and then a market with shouts.

The stalls in the market are lined up in two rows, with an aisle in the middle, and those who want to take a boat must pass through all the vendors.

Meng Li listened to the shouting sound in his ears, and felt a novelty in his heart, throwing away those monotonous firewood, rice, oil and salt, almost more than half of the items here were things he had never seen.

After all, it is a soil bun that has never been out of the water town, and the vision is shallow!

Compared with Meng Li and Wang Ergou's wait-and-see, Miss Bu, who is young and golden, is directly put into action, looking at a beautiful pearl bracelet, and directly takes out a lot of silver, to do a happy move of spending a lot of money.

However, in the end, he was stopped by the experienced Steward Wang.

Afterwards, according to Steward Wang, because the market here is unmanaged, more than half of the stall owners are temporary cameos. Most of the things sold in my hands are of unknown origin. Either stolen or robbed, and some were even plucked from dead people.

Last month, a young lady from a second-rate family died in her home, and all the gold and silver jewelry in the house was gone, including a pearl bracelet that she wore all year round, exactly the same as the one Bu Yu had just seen.

Knowing that the bracelet he was about to buy was actually plucked from a dead man, Bu Yu was suddenly so frightened that his face turned bloodless. Although she is a first-class martial artist with first-class strength, she is also a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world. What the little girl will be afraid of, she will also be afraid of!

After the bracelet incident, the people who were not interested in it stopped being nostalgic and stepped up their steps to the pier where the ferry was docked.

When he first arrived at this wharf, Meng Li was very strange and couldn't understand why a small ferry port should be built with a medium-sized wharf, but when he came here, it dawned on him.

Meng Li, who lives in Mengjia Village, knows these things in the water better than him, how big a boat is with how big a wharf, he thought it was just a big horse-drawn cart, but when he saw the medium-sized cruise ship docked on the shore, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"What a big ship!"

Growing up in Mengjia Village, Meng Li has had a special feeling for ships since he was a child, and he couldn't help but sigh after seeing the huge ships quietly docked on the dock.

Li Yan smiled lightly and said, "Could it be that Gongzi thinks that the boats on this pier are all small wooden boats that can only carry acquaintances?"

Meng Li did not deny that he was unheard of, and said calmly: "I do think so. ”

Steward Wang stepped forward from behind, and said in a low voice: "Meng Shaoxia is not wrong to think so, at the beginning, this ferry port was indeed carried by small boats, but later it attracted more and more passengers, so it was changed from small boats to medium-sized pleasure boats, and this pier was naturally expanded." ”

Meng Li sighed: "The development of an industry is not unrelated to people's needs. ”

For some reason, Meng Li suddenly remembered the martial arts hall.

It is precisely because of people's demand for learning martial arts that there will be more and more martial arts halls responsible for passing on martial arts, forming a martial arts hall culture that belongs to the Southern Tang Dynasty. To be honest, before he took refuge in Shuizhen, Meng Li also had the idea of creating a martial arts hall, but before that, he needed to obtain the qualification of martial arts transmission first.

Li Yan smiled: "Childe is right, do you know how many people go to Jieshui City by boat here every day?"

Meng Li glanced at the people lined up on the shore and prepared to board the boat, and said, "There are about three or four hundred people!"

When Meng Li said this, there was a confident expression on his face, not because he was blindly confident, but the result of observation.

At this time, there are only 100 people ready to board the boat, how many times a day can a medium-sized pleasure boat like this go? Combined with those idle boats roaming the river, it would be a mistake to cross three or four hundred people in a day.

But Meng Li didn't expect that when he blurted out these firm words, what he got in exchange was a chuckle from Miss Li's family, and Steward Wang and Xiaocui were smiling with Li Yan.

Dressed in green, she looked like a little girl with a delicate flower, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and chuckled: "Childe guessed wrong!"

"Did you guess wrong?" Meng Li wondered, "Could it be that I said too much?"

Li Yan shook her head and said, "It's not that it's too much, but it's too little." Do you know that a ship like this, which can carry hundreds of people, has to run almost every hour, day and night, and with those scattered boats, there are 2,000 people in a day, to say the least?"
