Chapter 309: Jucheng, the Northern Capital

"Forget it. ”

The girl just wants to prolong her life, and she has no interest in peerless magic or anything at all.

"Miss, it's not early, rest early, the third princess will go down the mountain in a few days, let's go back to the palace early, in this poor mountain and remote place, I always don't feel at ease." The sixth aunt diverted the topic.

"I'll sit still. ”

The girl returned to the painting, sat down, and quietly looked at the purple-clothed girl in the ink painting, the girl standing on the rock, her shirt fluttering, her long hair between the mountains and rivers, as if she had life.

The sixth aunt also stood quietly in a corner and sighed secretly.

......

The next day.

The autumn sun is warm and bright, and the cold wind of the night is also driven away by the warm light.

After the girl got up, washed and eaten, she rushed to Cao Shenxian's house with her sixth aunt and two tower-like big men.

Jingshan Town is not big, and the girl's inn is at Cao Shenxian's house, and it only takes a stick of incense to arrive.

The four of them walked to the front of Cao Shenxian's dilapidated earthen walled courtyard, the two wooden doors of the courtyard gate had been broken, and there was only one doorway left, and the four of them walked straight into the courtyard.

How was the yard yesterday and how is it today.

The door panel of the painting was still resting on the dark square table, and on the charcoal stove, there was still the uneaten pig's head meat, but the charcoal fire had been extinguished, and the steaming pig's head meat had solidified.

On the ground, several jars of wine were still lying crookedly.

"Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan!" the girl shouted.

"No need to shout, they fled. The sixth aunt smiled bitterly.

"What! escaped?" the girl had an incredulous expression on her face.

"Look at this pig's head, there was so much when we left yesterday, or there was so much left. This bowl was also laid out like this at that time, and the wine was not drunk, which means that as soon as we left, they packed up and fled. ”

"What the hell, he still owes me eight paintings!" the girl kicked over a bench in anger.

"Miss gave him 20,000 imperial coins, and he gave Miss two paintings, which is already indebted. The sixth aunt smiled.

“...... That...... That...... Why is he running away?" the girl was angry.

"Yesterday we scared him, although he was a little wild and uninhibited, but he was just a scholar, and he was so tossed by us, and he couldn't run away. The sixth aunt sighed.

"Hmph, I'm going to see where he escapes!"

The girl snorted coldly, regained her dignity and nobility, glanced in the courtyard, and walked out of the courtyard first.

......

The girl Jingshan Town was angry and didn't mention it.

It is said that Zhao Yuan and Cao Shenxian were in a dilapidated caravan and hurried non-stop.

The two of them were already penniless at this time, but fortunately, Cao Shenxian had good kung fu, and told fortunes and diviners along the way. The two bumped all the way to the terminal of the caravan: the northern capital.

The northern capital is the capital of the previous dynasty, rich in chrysanthemums, also known as chrysanthemums.

Jucheng has reached the north of the Great Qin Empire.

Jucheng, the northern capital, is a city full of flowers, and the chrysanthemum flower festival once every five years has become a dream place for literati and artists.

It was a five-year event, and the streets were unusually lively, full of some people with long swords on their waists and folding fans in their hands, and their demeanor. Some of the small jasper ladies couldn't bear the loneliness of spring, and invited their companions to walk on the street, and the air was filled with the fragrance of women.

Of course, Deng's disciples are also like carp crossing the river, drilling around in the pile of women, causing screams from time to time, and some chivalrous teenagers heard the sound, and it was inevitable that there was a beautiful encounter.

In a wide street, crowded with people, the deafening cheers could be heard from afar.

Zhao Yuan and Cao Shenxian followed the flow of people in the crowded crowd, inquiring all the way, and then they learned that they happened to be in the chrysanthemum city event once every five years.

As the flow of people advanced, the two of them reached the place where they shouted, and only then did they see that it was this wide place that had built the same huge platform.

Talented and beautiful people from all over the world gathered in Jucheng to dance and write and show their talents.

There are civilized, and there are countless young talents who have poured in from all over the country, including poor and talented scholars, as well as richly dressed sons and grandsons.

The teahouse and restaurant on the side of the street are already full of high-ranking officials and nobles, all of them are graceful and luxurious, sinking fish and geese, many of them are usually out of the door, at this time, all of them are excited on their faces, and they keep looking at those handsome and chic talents who are full of economy.

Every time the Jucheng Flower Fair, there will be a lot of stories of love at first sight between talented and beautiful people, which is rumored to be a good story, which is also the main reason why the Jucheng Flower Festival is becoming more and more lively.

At this time, on the stage, some students who studied hard in the cold window rarely had the opportunity to show their talents in front of so many people.

Zhao was originally very interested in this kind of event, but he and Cao Shenxian were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and after watching them for a while, they were absent-minded and tasteless, so the two discussed, first sell a painting, get some money to eat a full meal, and then come to see the excitement.

It's better to act than to move.

After the two agreed, they immediately squeezed out of the crowd.

When the two wanted to find an open space to paint, they found that on both sides of the street, the slightly empty places were occupied, either selling sugar gourds or buying sewing purses, and there were countless people selling words and paintings.

"Is it true that all the talents of the Great Qin Empire are here?" Looking at the calligraphy and paintings hanging everywhere, Cao Shenxian was dumbfounded.

"Even if not all of them come, half of them should be about the same. Zhao Yuan smiled bitterly.

Come to the Jucheng Flower Society, most of them are poor students, some come from afar, not to mention thousands of miles, the cost used, most of them sell some calligraphy and painting as a coil, to the northern capital of Jucheng, but also to prepare to go home to the coil, occasionally and friends wind and snow, the cost is huge, now this Jucheng crowd is surging, naturally will not let go of the opportunity to make money.

In the face of this crowded event, some peddlers and pawns naturally did not miss it, and as early as a few days ago, some vendors took up their seats on the streets.

Zhao Yuan and Cao Shenxian couldn't do it, so they found a vacant land in a remote place and spread pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the spot.

At this time, Zhao Yuan didn't think about painting any heirlooms, so he thought about having a full meal, and improvised a picture of "Fighting for Beauty", which is a picture of a hundred flowers, although it is not the best, but it is also the best for the occasion.

Cao Shenxian's confidence in Zhao Yuan was bursting, he thought that Zhao Yuan would cause a sensation when he painted, and he also put on a shelf, but no half of the people came, not even looking around, until Zhao Yuan finished painting, no one came over to take a look.

The bad stuff isn't over yet.

After finishing the painting, the two confidently waited for the owner to come to the door, fantasizing that after taking the money, they would immediately go down to the restaurant to chop a large piece of food. , disappointed the two, for a full hour, no one cared, if it wasn't for the endless flow of the road, it could be described as a door.

Cao Shenxian couldn't do it, so he had to do his old job, begged for a bamboo in the shop next to him, and hung up the fortune-telling signboard of "Iron Mouth Copper Tooth".

The most important thing is that those fortune-tellers look very powerful, but Cao Shenxian is a thief with rat eyes and a dirty face.
