The disfigured prince's time-traveling concubine
Chapter 98 - Blessing Bag
The most prosperous streets in the capital of Eastern Chu State are lined with many columnar dome-shaped buildings. They are not palaces or waterside pavilions, nor are they the homes of high-ranking officials, but ordinary houses and shops. Foreign travelers all marvel at the exotic and magnificent scenery of this place, so there was a saying that was circulated among the people: "When a visitor arrives in the capital, he will never want to return." It can be seen that the customs of the Chu State were indeed extraordinary.
At this moment, in one of the most valuable jade shops, a man in a white brocade robe was playing with the jades on the display shelf one by one, sometimes shaking his head and sometimes smiling faintly, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Sir, are you going to buy it or not?" the owner of the jade shop asked anxiously again.
The man raised his head elegantly, opened his thin lips and said calmly: "Wrap up all the jades I touched just now, send someone to the Mu family in the west of the city, and someone will pay you in silver."
"Ah?" The shopkeeper opened his mouth in astonishment, his mind flashing with three big words: I'm rich! The man seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene. He just smiled slightly and turned away with his hands behind his back, leaving the shopkeeper standing there in a daze.
At the gate of the capital city, Song Yuntian, riding a black horse, stopped and looked up. The two big words "Capital" came into his sight and he couldn't help but sigh deeply. Over the years, he always deceived himself by telling himself that Li'er was still alive in this world, but he just didn't know which corner of the world she was. Maybe if he traveled to more places, she might appear one day.
Suppressing the slight sorrow in his heart, Song Yuntian turned over, led the horse and walked into the capital. Like all those who had first arrived in the capital, he was shocked by the exotic customs here. He walked through the majestic Beihan with flying snow, and the desolate Chunan with yellow sand, not to mention Nanyue where he was born and raised. However, no place could be like the capital, which was graceful yet bold, exquisite and gorgeous yet carried the imprint of antiquity.
"Sir, would you like to buy a blessing bag?" A young boy about ten years old asked with a smile, looking up.
Song Yuntian looked down at the young boy with a sweaty face, and his heart softened. Song Yunli's cute and lively face suddenly appeared in his mind, so he asked softly, "How do I use this blessing bag?"
“Sir, just walk along this street for about an incense stick of time, and you will see a blessing tree. Just hang the blessing bag on the tree. I heard from my mother that the higher the blessing bag is hung, the greater the chance of your wish coming true.” Hearing that the young man was interested in the blessing bag in his hand, the young boy raised the corners of his mouth, revealing two cute little fangs, and described the importance of the blessing bag to his best effect!
"It sounds quite magical!" Song Yuntian chuckled, with such an expression on his face, which made the young boy nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice. He couldn't help but feel a little amused, and pretended to put on a serious face and said, "I'm new to the capital and I don't know the place well. How can I know that you didn't lie to me?"
The young boy stamped his feet anxiously, his bright black eyes turned around, and he grabbed Song Yuntian's arm and said, "Sir, how about this? I'll take you to find the blessing tree, and then you can decide whether to buy my blessing bag!"
"Then thank you for leading the way!" Song Yuntian laughed heartily.
"Young master, can I ride your horse?" The young boy looked at the black horse behind Song Yuntian with longing in his eyes, swallowing his saliva from time to time.
Song Yuntian thought it was funny. If someone didn’t know better, they would think that the boy wanted to eat horse meat!
Just like this, Song Yuntian led the horse, and the young boy rode on the horse pointing the way. Maybe it was the first time in the boy's life that he rode such a good horse. He touched the horse's mane here and the horse's ears there, which made Song Yuntian's beloved horse Xiaobai angry, and it almost threw the young boy off the horse several times.
"Xiaobai doesn't like people pulling his mane." Song Yuntian said with a headache.
"Sir, why is this horse called Xiaobai? It is obviously black, it should be called Xiaohei!" said the young boy disapprovingly.
"Haha..." Song Yuntian chuckled, thinking of a certain villain, and explained with a hint of nostalgia: "My little sister gave him this name, and she said no one is allowed to object."
The two of them chatted as they walked, and it took them two incense sticks of time to find the blessing tree.
The boy pointed to the big tree in front of him that was full of blessing bags and said happily, "Look, I didn't lie to you!"
"Well, I'll buy all your prayer bags." After saying that, he handed a silver ingot to the young boy.
"I don't need so much. Just give me 100 copper coins." The young boy shook his head firmly and refused. His parents said that one should not be greedy for money that is not his own, and only when you work hard can you be happy. These prayer bags are not worth a single ingot of silver.
In the end, Song Yuntian couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to go to the stall next door to exchange some copper coins for him, and the matter was settled.
"Sir, there are pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table under the tree. You can write your wish on the paper, then fold the paper and put it in the prayer bag." The young boy kindly reminded.
Song Yuntian also took the trouble to write ten pieces of paper, stuffed them into the blessing bag, then jumped lightly onto the tree and tied the bag in a few strokes.
After the young boy disappeared, Song Yuntian shook his head with some amusement. He was actually hanging blessing bags here with a little kid. If his brothers in the army knew about this, they would definitely laugh their heads off!
