Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 58 Market
"By the way, Junior Brother, do you know where is the nearest market nearby where I can buy things?"

Guan Shaoqing asked Jiale again, remembering that this was his first time here and he hadn't brought any gifts.

Moreover, I have to go to Master Ikkyu's house for dinner in the afternoon. As a junior, I need to bring gifts. Even if my uncle and Master Ikkyu don't care, I can't really ignore it.

This is a matter of basic etiquette.

What's more, I have time to buy things now.

"If you want to buy things, there is a town to the east, but it's a bit far away. A round trip will take at least two hours." Jia Le said.

"It's okay. It's still early and I don't have anything to do."

"Then I'll go tell the master and I'll lead the way and go with you."

"it is good."

So Guan Shaoqing and Jiale went back into the house to find Uncle Jiu and Simu.

"Uncle, Master, I asked Jiale to take me to the town market to buy some things. If we're quick, we'll be back by noon." After entering the house, Guan Shaoqing took the initiative to explain the situation.

"Master, my senior brother said he wanted to go to the market to buy some things. I will take him to the town." Jiale also followed.

"Okay." Uncle Jiu guessed Guan Shaoqing's thoughts after hearing this, and nodded with a smile, saying, "It's just right for us to go to Master Ikkyu's for dinner tonight, and buy some gifts while we're there."

"Disciple thinks so too." Guan Shaoqing also smiled and said, "And Uncle Master, we had a long journey and didn't bring any gifts. It's a good opportunity for us to go shopping together and see what's available in this town."

"No, no, senior brother, you and Shaoqing come to my place, so there is no need to buy any gifts. We are all family." Simu waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this.

"How can a junior come to an elder's place without buying a gift? Besides, it's my first time here as your nephew, so I won't buy a gift for my master. But you can't refuse this gift for me, your nephew." Guan Shaoqing said with a smile.

After hearing what Guan Shaoqing said, Simu no longer insisted, but he couldn't help but have a better impression of Guan Shaoqing in his heart. He turned around and instructed Jiale.

"Since your senior brother wants you to lead the way, then go ahead. Remember to change your clothes and go to my room to get ten dollars. Also, buy some more meat and vegetables."

"okay."

Upon hearing this, Jiale immediately left the house happily with Guan Shaoqing, then returned to his room, quickly changed into clean clothes, and went to Simu's room to get ten dollars.

"By the way, Senior Brother, should we also ask Master Ikkyu if they want to go?"

"Okay, go ask."

After leaving the yard, Guan Shaoqing and Jiale came to the door of Master Ikkyu's house next door.

"Master Ikkyu, Master Ikkyu." Jiale shouted as soon as he reached the door.

When Master Ikkyu heard the sound, he immediately came out with a smile, holding a broom in his hand, obviously cleaning, followed by his apprentice Qingqing.

"Master Ikkyu." Guan Shaoqing also called out politely when he saw Ikkyu.

"It's Jiale and Shaoqing, what's going on?"

"Master, my brother and I are going to the town market to buy some things. We were wondering if you would like to go, or if you need anything to buy for us to bring back."

"There are so many things I need to buy. Now that you've reminded me of this, I've actually got quite a lot to buy, not to mention I just got back."

Upon hearing this, Master Ikkyu thought about how he had just returned and had invited Jiale, Guan Shaoqing and four other disciples to dinner in the evening. There were quite a lot of things to buy, so he immediately turned around and looked at Qingqing behind him.

"Well, Qingqing, you go with Jiale, Shaoqing and the others. I'll tell you what to buy, and you can get the money yourself from the house."

"Ah."

Qingqing nodded when she heard that, then went back to the house to get the money. After hearing what they wanted to buy, she followed Guan Shaoqing and Jiale.

So the three of them, led by Jiale, went to the town market.

"Qingqing, let me tell you, I've been to this market many times, and I know exactly which stores are rip-offs and which are good value. I'll take you to the good value stores when you want to buy something later."

"By the way, Qingqing, do you like eating fish? If you like eating fish, don't go to the town to buy it. There is a small river behind the mountain where we live. There are many fish in the pool of the river. I am best at catching fish. If you like eating fish, I can help you catch it."

Along the way, Jiale kept looking for topics to talk to Qingqing.

But Qingqing was obviously not interested in Jiale's topic. She just followed Guan Shaoqing closely and didn't even bother to say a word.

At first, Qingqing would occasionally join in on Jiale's conversation, but later she simply stopped talking because she felt that Jiale's topics were not only boring, but also very noisy, and she couldn't even tell that Jiale didn't like to listen.

Unlike Guan Shaoqing, who is gentle and polite, he is not so talkative at all.

The more they compared, the more Qingqing felt that Guan Shaoqing was outstanding. Not only was he handsome and had an outstanding temperament, but he was also gentle and polite, unlike Jiale, who was a bit silly.

Finally, Qingqing couldn't stand Jiale's chattering anymore and took the initiative to talk to Guan Shaoqing.

"By the way, Senior Brother Shaoqing, what are you going to buy in town?"

"I'm not sure about the details yet. I need to go and check it out, but generally speaking, I'm going to buy some gifts. I came here in a hurry and the journey was long, so I didn't have time to prepare gifts for my uncle and master. So today is a good time to buy some." "Is that so? Then, Brother Shaoqing, where are you from?"

"My hometown is in Yuncheng, but now I usually live in Renjia Town to study Taoism with my master. Sometimes I may be in the provincial capital. If you are free in the future, you may come and visit me."

Guan Shaoqing looked at Qingqing in front of him, whose face was still very young but whose beauty could not be concealed.

I have to say that Mi Tao's appearance is still online, even though she is still a young girl, her development is not yet complete, and her dress is as ordinary as a country girl, but her beauty as beautiful as a hibiscus has already been revealed.

Otherwise, Jiale would not have performed so well all the way. It's a pity that the King of Xiang has feelings, but the goddess has no dreams.

"Okay, then when I'm free I'll go to Renjia Town to play with you, Brother Shaoqing."

Qingqing was immediately happy when she heard this, and a rare happy smile appeared on her face.

Jia Le, who was standing next to him, suddenly twitched his lips. He didn't understand why Qing Qing ignored him even though he tried so hard to find topics to talk about. But Guan Shaoqing made her happy with just a few words.

Could it be that Qingqing hasn't forgiven me for misunderstanding her male identity?
Jiale couldn't help but wonder.

I thought to myself that women are so petty, holding a grudge for so long over such a small matter.

"Tanghulu, sweet and fragrant Tanghulu."

"Meat buns, freshly baked meat buns."

"Selling meat"

after an hour.

Accompanied by the hawking sounds on both sides of the street.

Guan Shaoqing and his three companions arrived at the town. The market streets in the town were very busy with people coming and going.

"It's so lively."

Jiale and Qingqing looked around excitedly, then looked at Guan Shaoqing.

"Brother, what should we buy first?"

Guan Shaoqing looked at the two of them after hearing this and thought for a moment.

"Let's go to the clothing store in town first."

Soon Guan Shaoqing took the two of them to a clothing store in the town, and bought a Zhongshan suit and a white embroidered short-sleeved jacket and skirt for Jiale and Qingqing respectively, and then picked out two pairs of cloth shoes for them to match the clothes.

"Brother, are you really giving this to us?" Jiale looked at Guan Shaoqing in astonishment. He didn't expect Guan Shaoqing to buy him clothes.

"Brother Shaoqing, this is too expensive. I can't accept it." Qingqing said hurriedly in surprise.

"Just take what I sold you. Since you called me Senior Brother, I, as your Senior Brother, naturally have to give you a welcome gift. You can wear them as they are and don't need to change. Ask the boss to pack up your changed clothes and take them back."

Guan Shaoqing made the decision directly, then looked at the two people who had changed their clothes with satisfaction.

"Not bad, good-looking."

Although Jiale's appearance is not handsome, it is decent. In addition, he has been practicing Taoism and martial arts for many years and has a strong and upright body. Now that he has changed into clothes, he suddenly looks tall and masculine, which is eye-catching.

Qingqing looks even more pure and beautiful after changing into a short-sleeved jacket and skirt, which further highlights her original girlish beauty.

At this moment, the two of them changed their clothes and their appearance changed drastically, which really proves the saying that clothes make the man.

"Thank you, senior brother."

"Thank you, Brother Shaoqing."

The two people who changed into new clothes were also very happy. After all, they were young and who didn't like to dress up nicely?

"Let's go buy some other things."

After buying clothes, Guan Shaoqing took the two of them to buy other things. They went on a shopping spree until they filled a whole donkey cart with things before stopping.

For this purpose, Guan Shaoqing even bought a donkey and a donkey cart.

After we finished shopping, it was almost noon.

"It's noon now, let's have lunch before going back."

Guan Shaoqing glanced at Shi Chen and said, at this moment Jiale and Qingqing had already obeyed Guan Shaoqing's orders, and they nodded when they heard his words.

Guan Shaoqing then took the two of them to a restaurant and sat down to eat.

Just at this moment, something seemed to happen on the street not far from the hotel, and people kept gathering there.
