Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ice and Snow Fall into the Mortal Dust (2)
What Hongchen wants to experience the world is to experience all kinds of things in the world, and the usual practice is not to show the mountains and waters, to walk in the world as an ordinary person, and to take the opportunity to understand the love and parting of sentient beings, resentment and hatred, and they can't ask for it and can't let go.
It's just that many disciples have been holding back in the upper courtyard of the lower courtyard for a few years, and after coming to this prosperous and lively world, they suddenly found that although they were only at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world, they were put into the mortal pile but they had faintly stood at the top of their strength and power, and there was no pressure at all to laugh at a few princes. This time it's like, let go of the golden lock and go to the dragon, and the mouse got into the rice tank, so that many people stubbornly turned the Yijin Night Walk into a bloody plot of a private interview with microservices.
There are indeed a large number of words in Lang Huan Pavilion that tell the story of a certain disciple who showed his strength all the way to justice, and by the way, he captured countless admirers, and even divided into male and female versions, the story of Su Ma Li and Su Jike is widely circulated and renovated every year, and even Osmanthus has read one or two.
There was also controversy among the high-ranking monks, and some people thought that such words were absurd and misleading, and should be completely forbidden. However, more monks felt that there were many worldly affairs and human feelings that could help hone the Dao heart, and in addition, they could also let the disciples know some market customs and common sense in the mortal world, so that they would not be blind to the window and only cultivate immortals.
Mo Zhenren was obviously the latter faction, and he was selling "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Zhenjun" and "Lost Pearl Fairy" to Osmanthus every summer, while helping her popularize the common sense of this world.
For example, it is extremely rude to come up and go straight to the topic, it is best to have a table of wine and snacks, and then call the shop to ask carefully and match the match, of course, the reward afterwards is also due, so that everyone can take what they need and be happy.
So when Osmanthus came in, she first told Xiao Er to have a clean seat very sophisticatedly.
Who knew that after hearing this, although the shopkeeper responded with a voice in his mouth, his body did not say anything, and he just cared about the guests at each table and left the osmanthus aside. It turns out that an old store like theirs takes the cheap route and does a regular customer business. Now is the time for the most seats, many people are crowded together at the table, and where is there any clean seat to take out for a new face like Osmanthus.
The shopkeeper did not play the cards according to the rules, but the osmanthus was not annoyed, and waited patiently for a while, she heard several middle-aged guests at the table in front of her arguing about the delivery time of a batch of goods; next to them was talking about the recent arrival of the new city lord is not as convincing as the previous city lord; and the table farther away is like a few people have gathered a part to see someone off, everyone takes turns to say a lot of auspicious words, and those who are not in turn to speak are buried in the only pot of meat on the table and attack violently.
She even heard someone mention the words Kwai Ying Castle, saying that they wanted to try their luck in this new place.
Because it was interesting to eavesdrop, Osmanthus didn't care that the shopkeeper led him all the way to a table in the corner.
The shopkeeper is an old man who has been accumulating for many years, and he has read countless people with a pair of eyes, and he has already found that although this little girl is not very old, her bearing is quite extraordinary. At first glance, the clothes on the body look ordinary, but when you look closely, you can find that they are all uncommon good clothes.
Such an eldest lady is naturally difficult to please, but she can't be easily offended, Xiao Er raised a smile, "What does this girl want to eat?"
According to Mo Zhenren's routine, at this time, he should wave his hand heroically and order the selected ones to come to the table, and then no matter what he asks, it will be easy to tighten. But Osmanthus didn't have the same good appetite as his old man, and she couldn't drink.
Osmanthus hesitated for a moment, and suddenly saw a woman in a scarlet shirt sitting alone across a few tables, and she pointed with her hand, "What this female guest eats, I will also eat, you can just serve it as it is." ”
Xiao Er nodded hurriedly in response, and after a while, he first brought the dried and fresh fruit plate to the table. Osmanthus took out a delicate embroidered purse from his sleeve, opened it, and picked out a slightly smaller piece of broken silver and gave it to him.
Osmanthus has always been careful, because she knew that the world was not peaceful, and a particularly poor place even caused a bloody case for a steamed bun, so she painstakingly prepared a purse used by ordinary girls to hold broken silver, so that her wealth would not be exposed.
In order to avoid arousing the covetousness of others. She also deliberately crushed the silver taels before putting them inside, so that no one could see the valuable things she was carrying, and she would not have to take them out of the storage bracelet in a shocking way.
The shopkeeper took the silver two and shook it, and immediately smiled the folds on his face into a blooming chrysanthemum, and sure enough, as Mo Zhenren said, he knew everything and said everything.
By the time the meal was finished, Osmanthus had already listened to the city's customs and feng shui situation, what was rich in the east city, expensive in the west, poor in Xuanwen, Chongwu Po, and so on, and by the way, she also knew where to go to find the Chinese people and the tooth line to take her to see the house.
Originally, it was just a temporary intention to live in a clean place to recuperate, but now I heard about the various procedures and rules of renting a house, and I found that it was far from being as simple as I thought, but Osmanthus felt very interesting. At other times, she would most likely focus on cultivation and wouldn't waste time on such useless things. But at this time, her cultivation growth was faster than the entry of the Dao Heart, and she needed to enter the world to temper herself, so she continued to cheer up, endured the sleepiness in her mind and went to the place where Xiao Er pointed out.
It is a very lively place, probably more than half of the business in the city is concentrated here, and many brokers come and go to take customers to see the goods and negotiate the business, very busy.
Osmanthus was not timid when she first arrived, so she stopped and watched how people bargained, how they wrote deeds, paid silver taels and delivered goods.
After a while, someone came up to peddle business, and this person looked to be thirty or forty years old, and he looked kind and wealthy. He claimed to be Wang Qi, and politely greeted Osmanthus Hua, "Does the girl have anything you want to buy? If you just want to wander around, I can also be a guide for the girl." ”
Osmanthus thought for a moment and said, "My brother and I were ordered by our mother to visit my aunt in this Shanghe City, but I didn't expect them to go to Kwai Ying City for several months before they could come back, and they just happened to go off the road in two clicks. My brother was too tired and felt a little unwell, and it was not easy to recuperate in the inn, so I thought about renting a small clean yard to live in temporarily, and by the way, I would wait for my aunt's family to come back. ”
