Chapter 7: Traveling to Hanshuang City (Ask for Collection)
The next day, dawn broke, and the fog was lost,
Lin Xi finished dressing and washing, walked outside the courtyard, rubbed his head lightly with both hands, the lightheadedness caused by drinking last night had not yet faded, so he came to the courtyard to stretch his body, breathe the morning air, and after a while, he saw the apricot carrying a food box, walking from the corridor outside the court like a willow.
"Lord Hayashi, after breakfast, Miss asked me to inform you to meet on the front porch of the main hall," Kyoko said.
"Okay, got it", Lin Xi sat down in front of the one-legged stone table in the courtyard, glanced at Apricot and said: "Apricot, you will be like Miss Han in the future, just call me Brother Lin, don't be an adult, I'm not used to it, in my hometown...... In short, you don't have to be so polite, and I don't need you to serve me anything", and then took the meal by himself.
"Lord Lin, do you dislike the apricot to serve badly? If you are not satisfied with anything, I will definitely change it, please don't drive the apricot away, otherwise the steward will punish the apricot", the apricot suddenly whimpered and red-eyed, and whispered with commitment.
"Okay, okay, it's not to drive you away, you misunderstood, I've never been served, I'm a little unaccustomed", Lin Xi lowered his head and pondered for a while, raised his head and said: "Is this good?
sighed in my heart, Apricot was born as a maidservant, and the servility in her bones may not be able to be eliminated in a short time.
"Is this okay?" asked Kyoko, her eyes wide, confused.
"What's wrong, I said okay, you weren't sent to serve me, of course you have to listen to me, right?" Lin Xi pretended to be angry.
"Then I still have to give it to Lord Lin every day... , oh no, bring food to Brother Lin, I can't starve you, otherwise I will be too guilty", Lin Xi finished breakfast, Apricot seemed to understand, stretched her delicate face, said with a smile on her eyebrows, and put away the food box and walked away.
Lin Xi went out and walked through the courtyard corridor to the front lawn of the main hall, Lin Xi saw Xiang'er standing in the wind with her skirt fluttering, and the female armor-piercing guard standing beside Xiang'er, Lin Xi stepped forward quickly.
"Good morning Miss Han, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting," Lin Xi stepped forward and said with a fist.
"It's also just here, you can't let the guest treat the master, it's rude", Han Xiang'er smiled and said politely, and then led the way sideways, and the three of them walked towards the outside of the house.
On the main road of Han Shuang's main city, Lin Xi and Han Xiang'er walked side by side, chatting happily, the cheerful and shallow time was fleeting, and before they knew it, the dawn fog was scattered, revealing the attic of the market hidden in the near and far, and the guards followed behind the two of them.
The street is paved with a color of square blue bricks, wide and long, both sides are double eaves courtyard buildings, vermilion wall beams glazed green tiles, animal pattern dripping eaves are neatly arranged, reflecting the blue sky of the first line of far and near, at this moment, the doors and stalls on both sides of the street are all open for business, the street is full of traffic, the pedestrians are endless, shouting and selling one after another, a good scene of bustling scene.
Behind the commercial street on one side is an artificial river with rippling blue waves, the surface of the river is sparkling and the water is murmuring.
"Brother Lin, now we can be regarded as familiar with each other", Han Xiang'er suddenly put her hands on her back, turned sideways and asked, "If you don't mind, just call me Xiang'er, don't be too angry", the willow waist tilted, the cheeks leaned in front of Lin Xi, blinked and stared at Lin Xi quietly waiting for an answer, and breathed into each other.
"Good, good, Xiang'er", Lin Xi's cheeks were slightly red, his body leaned back slightly, and a wisp of elegant fragrance hit his nose, and Lin Xi replied with a stunned expression.
Han Xiang'er seemed to be aware of it, her jade cheeks flushed shyly, and she gradually moved forward like a weak willow supporting the wind, and Lin Xi followed suit.
"Brother Lin, do you know what are the famous places in Han Shuangcheng?", Han Xiang'er missed the topic and asked, seeing Lin Xi shake his head, he continued:
"Hanshuang City is actually composed of three cities, the city where we are now is the main city of Hanshuang, which is in charge of my father, and the west city of Hanshuang is in charge of my third uncle Han Jian, the third uncle Han Jian, you have seen it, and the east city of Hanshuang is in charge of my second uncle Han Sheng, he is a person who is silent and not easy to get along with."
Han Xiang'er saw that Lin Xiluo was interested, so she continued:
"The most famous place in the main city of Hanshuang is the auction hall in the center of the city, the auction hall holds a small auction once a month, and a large auction every six months. Exercises and cheats and so on may appear, the things under the auction can be exchanged for things with the consent of the owner, most of them are directly paid for the purchase of Yuan Crystal Stone, as for the most famous casino in Han Shuang Dongcheng, everything can be gambled in this casino, including your own life, as long as the other party's gambler approves of the things you can use to bet", Han Xiang'er stopped and talked eloquently.
"Then is there anything famous about your third uncle's Xicheng?" Seeing that Xiang'er didn't mention Xicheng, Lin Xi asked curiously.
"This ...... , what good place can the third uncle have in his broken place, don't you go", was asked by Lin Xi, Han Xiang'er's shy jade cheeks became even more ruddy, and she waved her hand and scolded coquettishly.
"At the dinner last night, I heard that your second uncle is guarding the southern mining area, if my guess is correct, the mined mineral is Yuanjing, right?", Lin Xi saw Xiang'er's delicate appearance, and had a vague conjecture in his heart, so he changed the topic and asked.
"Well, Han Shuangcheng's main operating income is basically to mine some primary and intermediate Yuan Crystals, and the mining volume of high-grade Yuan Crystals is extremely small, and the best products have not been mined so far, because the ore veins occupied by our Han Shuang City are in the thirty-six water villages of Eighty-one City, which can only be regarded as low-grade ore veins", Han Xiang'er replied.
"Arrogant, there is a mine at home", Lin Xi muttered with a low smile.
"What?" said Xiang'er.
"Oh, it's nothing, can you tell me about the earth tool you just talked about?" Lin Xiluo asked with interest.
"Weapon refers to the weapon used by the monk, the weapon and the flying machine is a name, the casting weapon is divided into earth and heavenly weapons, according to the quality is divided into low, medium, high, and the best four levels, a good weapon can not only show great power, but also can absorb Mi Yuan from the outside world, feed their own consumption, the use of weapons is not limited by the level of the user, like you are as weak as you can use the best celestial weapon, hehe", Han Xiang'er stroked her skirt and turned around, playfully patted Lin Xi's shoulder and laughed.
"Then if you can get the best celestial weapon, then it won't be too against the sky?", Lin Xi's eyes glowed with gold, and he asked impatiently.
"Think about it too much, how can it be so easy", Han Xiang'er glanced at Lin Xi, "The casting of celestial artifacts is extremely demanding on the requirements for materials and the casting process, and there are only a few people who can be called casting grandmasters, like me, Han Shuangcheng Auction House has existed for nearly a thousand years, and I have never seen a celestial auction, let alone casting, even ordinary casters are extremely popular", Han Xiang'er said.
Han Xianger and Lin Xi were wandering and talking on the street, and before they knew it, it was noon and they walked in front of the archway.
"It's time to eat, I'm hungry, I'll invite you to eat", Han Xiang'er stopped, pointed to the jade flat on the archway and said: "This is the most famous restaurant in the entire Han Shuang City."
The jade plaque is engraved with three big characters: Piaoxianglou.
"You can only invite me, I have nothing to do", Lin Xi shrugged his shoulders, helplessly pulled the sleeve pocket of the brocade robe and said with a wry smile.
