Chapter 218: Exploring Li and Deriving Pearls
Jiqing City was not besieged by the Jingning Army, so the three gates in the south city were open to people to enter and exit as usual during the day. Only the garrison strictly controlled the flow of people to prevent them from being closed in time during the war.
King Jing was the most discerning soldier, and there were many spies hidden in Jiqing City. Although it took some trouble, he successfully brought the disguised You Yun and Feng Zhangshan into the city.
There have been spies who have been following Zhu Zhu for a long time. The little girl is lively and can't stay in the Yueyang Marquis Mansion. She will go out for fun in three or two days. The scenery in Jiqing City is average, and the only place to go is up and down the sea in the east of the city.
Tianji is a lively place.
As the name suggests, there is a big fair every ten days. On weekdays, there are just ordinary small traders and hawkers. Thinking that there will be a big fair tomorrow, Youyun has made preparations early.
The market site is originally an empty land with only a few stalls open on the outside. During the big market, craftsmen, merchants, farmers and woodcutters from both inside and outside the city gather together, and no less than a hundred stalls are set up across the venue.
Because King Jing used a trick to burn part of Jiqing's grain reserves years ago, the largest number of farmers came to sell grains in the market.
Other fruits and vegetables, mountain delicacies and aquatic products, clothes, pants, shoes and hats, red children's toys, shovels, rakes, chisels, bowls, basins and bowls are all available.
There are also countless vendors carrying authentic and fake ancient utensils, exclusive delicacies, exquisite toys, and exotic foreign goods.
As for the people strolling around the market, they were not only rubbing shoulders one after another, but also looking at each other from neck to neck. In short, the noise and shouting could be heard from three miles away, and the smell of pink and fishy smell lasted for several days before dissipating.
You Yun dressed up as a Taoist nun, with a basket of dried flowers hanging from her arms.
Feng Zhangshan used his true colors, only trimming his mustache and beard, holding a cloth curtain in his hand, with the words "knowing wealth and honor, cutting off bad luck and good luck, gold and two coins" crookedly written on it.
The two of them squeezed into the big market and followed the flow of people twice. You Yun got some business, but no one paid attention to Feng Zhangshan.
A spy disguised as a peasant came nearby and gave You Yun a wink.
You Yun looked towards the entrance and saw a little pink sneaking in outside the gray crowd.
Zhu Zhu, two girls and four servants walked around looking and asking, but didn't buy anything. You Yun squeezed towards Zhu Zhu against the flow of people, and when they finally got close, he let out a loud voice and shouted.
"Lushan sweet spring water and Xangshan magnolia flowers can be dried to remove mold and filth in the house. Drinking them can clear away heat and detoxify. We sell dried magnolias!"
Youyun's voice was clear and penetrating, which immediately attracted Zhu Zhu's attention.
Zhu Zhu was so dazzled by shopping that she didn't care to look at the seller. She picked up a dried flower and brought it to her nose to smell it. "Is this flower ordinary? How can you say that Lushan spring water raised the Orangutan Mountain flower? Isn't Luangshan Mountain a mountain?
?”
You Yun had secretly visited Zhu Zhu when Zhong Xuan was drafting for King Ying. At that time, she was also dressed as a Taoist nun. At that time, the two had a talk in the Huayu Building in Dongshi City, and they had a good impression of each other. Later, You Yun got
Knowing that she was Zhu Zhenyou's daughter, she did not choose Zhu Zhuchuxiu due to the party struggle.
You Yun pretended not to recognize Zhu Zhu and explained with a smile. "What this lady doesn't know is that in ancient times, a demon deer and a demon orangutan dueled on the earth for ninety-nine and eighty-one years, and the people of Li were deeply
Suffering from the bloody storm, God finally sent his wrath and sent the great god Hou Yi to kill the two ferocious beasts."
You Yun made an archery gesture: "The great descendant pierced the demon deer and the demon ape with just one arrow. After the two evil beasts died, they turned into mountains. They were connected by the arrows and never separated, so they were called the Deer Ape Mountain."
.”
You Yun stretched out his hand and swiped from front to back: "Actually, the divine arrow was shot from the west. It penetrated the demon deer first and then the demon ape. The west mountain is slightly higher and is called Lu Mountain. The east mountain is slightly lower and is called Lu Mountain.
Orang Mountain. When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. Isn’t it the sweet spring of Lu Mountain that supports the magnolias of Orang Mountain?”
Zhu Zhu grew up at the foot of Deer Mountain, but she didn't know there was such an allusion. When she smelled the magnolia again, it seemed that the smell was different from the previous one.
She raised her eyes and looked at You Yun, frowning slightly, feeling that she had seen him before, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
You Yun also pretended to want to recognize her, but after a moment he pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be a girl from the Zhu family?"
The little girl was so surprised that she said, "Are you Taoist Master Yunyou?"
"It's Pindao!" You Yun thrust the bamboo basket into Feng Zhangshan's hands and held up Zhu Zhu with both hands, overflowing with joy. "Why did the girl come to Jiqing City? The place is in chaos!"
Zhu Zhu made a helpless look and sighed softly: "I am originally from Jiqing, Zhong Xuan... I have finished my studies there, so I can only come home. Why did the Taoist priest also come to Jiqing?"
"Pindao's nickname is 'Yunyou', so he will naturally travel around the world!"
Zhu Zhu was equally happy to meet an old acquaintance from a foreign land in her hometown. She lost her temper and pulled You Yun up.
"Come on, I'll take the Taoist priest to drink tea. Last time I didn't talk enough. You have to stay in Jiqing for a longer time this time and let me chat with you!"
Feng Zhangshan said blankly: "Senior sister, the flowers haven't been sold yet!"
The maid behind Zhu Zhu joked: "We have reached our own territory, why are we still worried about not having the Taoist priest's immortality? Let's go quickly!"
The group of people left the market and turned not far away to the Juwufu Teahouse, one of the largest teahouses in Jiqing City. The second floor could just look at the bustling market.
Zhu Zhu invited You Yun to the upstairs seating area and sent the maid and servant to accompany Feng Zhangshan to have snacks in the distance. He ordered a pot of spring jasmine for the table and whispered impatiently: "Taoist Master, you are really amazing.
Zhong Xuanshi, you said that the person I love is coming, and it turned out to be true. I met him within a few months, but..."
How could the little girl, who was full of emotions, not know that she was going to talk about something private, so she lowered her voice and said, "Isn't he the stupid young boy you mentioned?"
"Bah, bah, bah, you stupid person, how could I fall in love with him? Besides, he has a beautiful bamboo or plum sister to cling to, I won't care about it." Zhu Zhu's eyes were flowing, and his cheeks were slightly blushing, "
What I’m talking about is… it’s another man!”
When You Yun was with Zhong Xuan, he had planted the image of a heroic husband in her heart. His original intention was to use it for King Ying's talent show later. But the secret is unpredictable. It has been nearly a year. I never thought that the little girl would dare to love or hate.
, I already have a lover.
"Oh, which hero does the girl like? I can't say, I want to try this matchmaker's mouth."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhu sighed softly: "Actually, I only have a relationship with him once."
"see once?"
The little girl was about to speak but stopped: "Hey, forget it, just say it in the vast sea of people, and even the Taoist priest won't recognize it!"
"Although my Taoist skills are not good," You Yun took a sip of tea, the strong fragrance hit his nostrils, and pointed at the fortune-telling curtain leaning on the table in the corner. "But my junior brother specializes in divination. As long as the girl has some clues, I can tell you
Maybe he can find it for you."
Zhu Zhu's eyes lit up, then dimmed. "I tell you what these people are doing, but they already have a wife!"
You Yunzuo looked regretful: "It's okay for ordinary women to be young, but girls are extremely talented, so it's a pity!"
Zhu Zhu was rebellious in her youth and couldn't listen to the ethics of ethics. You Yun's words aroused her stubborn temper and raised her chin.
"What's the harm in being small? I just don't know if that person's virtue can bear my being small. If he really loves me and pities me, what's the big deal?"
You Yun smiled happily: "In that case, we have nothing to do, why not ask my junior brother to count on my sister?"
Zhu Zhu was quite generous, but she really couldn't let go of that person, so she invited Feng Zhangshan to come and sit down.
You Yun asked: "Do you have any information about this person's name, place of origin, industry, etc. It would be great if there is information about his birth date!"
"Nothing else, I just know his name is Miao Cheng!"
You Yun almost spit out his tea while Feng Zhangshan was holding his eyes open and was at a loss.
