Chen Yue walked out of the city gate cave, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and a bluestone street stretched straight to the end of the sight, enough for ten carriages to run in parallel. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info roadside is a thick shade of dry willows, like a banner to welcome immortals, to lead people to the heavenly palace. Only by retracting your gaze can you notice the bustling pedestrians under the shade of the trees and the exquisite shops on the streets.

The city gate has just opened, and many cars have gathered at the gate. The carts were not very new, and they were set up with a cart for cattle to serve the patrons who entered the city. Whenever someone passes by, they always greet warmly: "Get in the car, you look at it when you get there!" as if they are in a hurry to make a business, and they don't care much about the price.

Even if it was early in the morning, they were drowsy, always waiting for the guests to come to the door, and pretending to be reluctant to bargain, and finally half-pushed and half-on the spot to make the next sale.

The sedan chair opposite is very eye-catching, and the big saffron sedan chair carried by eight people carries a complete set of blowing deacons, which is specially prepared for the bride. Whether you marry out of the city or marry into the city, you must have this dignity in Yongcheng. If they encounter a happy event in the mansion, they will not only eat and drink for nothing, but also get a reward for nothing, which is the most decent category among the lower nine streams.

There is also a bamboo sedan chair carried by two people, called a sliding pole, which is specially designed to serve "decent people" out of the city. The people who carry the sliding rod are all dark and strong young men, and they are the most bitter and tired type of Liba. Whether it's windy or snowy, or the sun is shining, as long as someone comes, they have to go.

This kind of sedan driver sells coolies, but the sedan car price is not much more expensive than the car price. They carried people out of the city sweating, and if they wanted people to add an extra copper, they had to beg grandpa to sue grandma. And before the age of 30, the waist and joints have to be destroyed, and then this life will be ruined...... However, Yongcheng lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of people, especially the poor, and naturally there are new poor students who continue to come out to carry sedan chairs.

The city gate was bustling, Chen Yue looked at the familiar people and things, but felt that he had entered purgatory.

Although there is only one city wall, no matter how disturbed the outside of the city, there seems to be something else inside the city. The walls of the Gundam seem to enclose a furnace, refining the souls of all beings. This situation was what he was trying to get out of, and he had to come back often.

"Duoduo" turned over and greeted happily: "Brother Chen Yue, I haven't seen you for a long time, go and sit in my shop." ”

Tong Hammer frowned slightly and asked, "Then do you please invite me to go?" As he spoke, he also got on his horse, and the "green foal" bent his back and turned into a camel again.

"Duoduo" looked cold, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that you will starve to death if you get stuck on the door." ”

Tong Hammer shook his head and smiled: "Not this time, I lost five pounds yesterday!"

"Duoduo" rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Let's get out of the thatched house." ”

"Uh......" Chen Yue looked at "Duoduo" blankly, only feeling that there were 10,000 alpacas running by in his heart.

Tong Hammer was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "How do you know ......?"

"Uh......" Chen Yue was stunned again, unable to say anything more.

"Duoduo" moved forward, and greeted with two free pedals: "Let's go together! Brother Chen Yue, come up!"

There were still more than four miles to "Duoduo"'s house, and Chen Yue didn't want to go back to Chen's house immediately, so he nodded and got on "Duoduo's" horse. The girl in front of her was so weak that she leaned against his chest.

Chen Yue was full of embarrassment, and was about to remind her to pay attention to the impact, when she pulled the reins again.

The jujube red horse neighed and raised its hooves and ran out, Chen Yue leaned back, and couldn't help but hug the girl in front of him. A soft hand made him even more embarrassed......

The city is divided into 36 squares, each square is one mile square, and the outside is surrounded by a high wall, and the wall opens separately, and the door is the small courtyard of each family.

There is a street between the fangs, which is how the word "neighborhood" comes from. There are all kinds of shops on the street, and there are more or less one or two sedan cars parked on the street, providing food, clothing, housing and transportation for the people in the square. Although the scale is not as grand as that on the four main streets, it is also full of categories.

If you want to say that the most lively street in Yongcheng is the area of the bell tower where the four main streets meet. As long as the weather is fine, craftsmen who tell stories, sing operas, play tricks, and practice stalls will gather here.

Ordinary people come here for recreation when they have nothing to do, and most of the workers and craftsmen come here to wait for work, and even those who sell tea, dried fruits, snacks, and snacks are also doing good business. From sunrise to sunset, there is no day when the smoke is billowing and the tone is frustrated.

The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the chair is leaning, the strong tea is sipping, the peanuts are peeling, and the jokes are listening, and the heart is happy...... For Yongcheng people, it is the ultimate enjoyment. Even though Nangong Hu is the king and worships the prime minister, the common people are still living their own small lives.

The most famous shop in the Bell Tower is not the Drunken Immortal Building, which sells fake wine, the Baicaotang, which sells fake medicines, or the Jeweled Treasure Pavilion that sells fakes, but the Qian Ji pawnshop, which is known as "there is no return".

The reason why "Qian Ji" is famous is not because of the rich and good people, nor because of his charming wife, but because of their daughter, Miss Qian Duoduo.

The reason why Qian Duoduo is famous is not because she has the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower, nor because she has a talent that has endured the heavens and the earth, but because she has a pair of discerning eyes.

It is said that the Qian family was originally an ordinary farmer, and Qian Duoduo began to have fortune as soon as he was born. In just over ten years, the Qian family has become one of the wealthy families in Yongcheng.

Some people say that when Qian Dashan was hoeing in the field, he dug up an ancient tomb of the former dynasty with a hoe. It is also rumored that Mrs. Qian once met the current saint, Qian Duoduo is actually the grandson of the dragon and the phoenix, and there have always been people secretly helping him......

Putting aside these false rumors, the most talked about is that Qian Duoduo has never lost a handful of "Kaibao", Qian Duoduo has never lost a hand in gambling stones, and Qian Duoduo has never missed a single sight in receiving goods......

The façade of the pawnshop is broken, the door is only half open, and there is a broken plaque hanging on it, on which is written "the more the merrier" four semi-new and not old ancient characters. I don't know how many layers of pasting on the window, and the gauze inside and out are rotten, and they haven't been scraped off. The door was dark, as if it were leading to hell. Everything is telling people: "It's really not making money!"

When the three of them came to the pawnshop, they saw an old man in gray spitting at the door, frowning and snorting, "What is it!" and then walked away as if nothing had happened.

"Ahh

"Uh......" Chen Yue was speechless, and Tong Hammer smiled: "It seems that your family's business is hated!"

Qian Duoduo frowned and snorted: "Yes, how can it compare to your family's staking and mining coal." As he spoke, he turned over the horse's head and turned into the alley on the side.

Tong Hammer glared and argued: "Our miners and tenants are all from your family. ”

Qian Duoduo sneered: "Yes, since I entered your house, I have never entered our door." ”

It seems that this is the case, Tong Hammer is speechless......

The alley is not deep, and at the end is a small door. Entering the door is a large courtyard, with five main houses with red walls and blue tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. The red lights on the eaves are hung high, and the birds are singing. The jade tree Qiongying in the courtyard, the winding path is secluded, the end is the flowers and trees are splendid, magnificent.

A girl in a green skirt was watering the flowers, and when she saw them, she hurriedly saluted: "Miss is back, the master is looking for you!"

"You just say I haven't come back yet. Qian Duoduo replied, and turned into the pawnshop's hall through the back door.

"Uh......" The maid was stunned, why is her young lady always so unreliable......

The warehouse door is narrow and low, with a brick wall on the outside and a steel plate sandwiched on the inside. Chen Yue followed in, and reminded Tong Hammer: "Be careful that you can't get out if you come in!"

"If I get stuck, you'll starve to death! Tong Hammer said and exhaled to close his waist, and really squeezed in.

There is only one skylight left in the house, and it is surrounded by shelves, and there are all kinds of things. There are not only ragged clothes, but also swords, guns and halberds, and there is no shortage of gold and stone antiques...... As long as it is something that can be bought and sold, there are almost all of them here, and it is really "there is no class".

Suddenly, a white shadow jumped out of the corner, heading straight for the neck of the copper hammer, and it was a big white-haired dog, with a pair of dog eyes that were green and blue.

Qian Duoduo's eyes were quick, and he hugged it and smiled: "Don't bite, this is Uncle Tong Hammer, this is Uncle Chen Yue, go say hello, grandson!"

The white dog was obedient, stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail and sat down, raising one paw.

"Uh......" Chen Yue condensed.

Tong Hammer frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "You call it 'grandson', let it call me 'uncle', who do you take advantage of!"

Qian Duoduo beckoned back the white dog, stroked its back, and sneered: "It's pro." ”

Tong Hammer shook his cheeks and said angrily: "I'll do it together!"

Qian Duoduo glared at him and said angrily: "Don't want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, can I give birth to a son like you? If you want to give birth, it must be like Brother Chen Yue." ”

Tong Hammer was so choked that he couldn't speak, Chen Yue touched his nose in embarrassment, and interrupted: "Don't be poor, if you really look like me, you'll be in trouble." I really want to ask you for something this time. ”

Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Don't talk about asking for things, you can propose marriage." ”

"Well, then there's no need to ......" Chen Yue's heart was thundering, he walked to the small round table under the skylight and sat down, unwrapped the package behind him, took out a ginseng with intact branches and leaves, and continued with a hard head: "You see, I got a ginseng in the mountains, and I want to use a more delicate box to pack it, just one foot square, you must have it here." ”

"This is to give it away...... Tong Hammer stared at the ginseng and said, "How does this ginseng feel weird, what is the matter with this spot......"

"Don't be so troublesome, I know your mind, I don't mind!" Qian Duoduo smiled and was about to grab the ginseng, but Chen Yue grabbed his little hand.

Chen Yue said embarrassedly: "Next time, next time, I will pick a ginseng bigger than this and give it to you......"

Qian Duoduo shook his head slightly, and said half-truthfully: "Brother Chen Yue, wake up, Shangguan Yan has already 'gathered energy', and the Qingtian Academy has sent people to invite her many times, and she will not accept you." Can't you see my heart?"

Chen Yue was stunned, he didn't expect this woman to be so straightforward, and he really couldn't tell whether she was "naïve" or "pretending to be stupid" for a while. But thinking of the touching pink shadow and the always lukewarm smile, I felt a little distressed in my heart, and still smiled: "Ha, this time you are wrong, I have a marriage contract with Shangguan Yan!"

"Marriage contract, do you think the Shangguan family also runs a pawnshop?" Qian Duoduo smiled disdainfully, walked to a shelf with a cold face, retrieved a carved brocade box that looked like stone and wood, and said: "Good brother, don't say that I won't help you, this box has a lot of origins, so you can use it to hold this ginseng." Why don't we make a bet, if you can make it, I will serve you tea and water, pinch your waist and beat your legs. If you don't have a show, you have to listen to me. ”
