Shock! The abandoned concubine cheated on the god of war and only wanted to farm
Chapter 135: Meeting an old friend and making things difficult
Feng Ranhua finished eating a peach, spit out the peach pit, then cleared his throat and said:
"I asked you to come back because, firstly, the New Year is coming soon and you can't stay in the mountains. Secondly, we have a few farmhands whose children are missing. We have been looking for them for five days but there is no news.
I heard that Yizhou lost more than 300 people in less than ten days. This is very strange."
"Since we are here, we should take care of the people around us."
Steal a child?
King Han governed Yizhou with diligence and fairness. In today's war, Yizhou is also one of the rare refuges.
Bai Qi was a little surprised. It was indeed weird, but then he nodded. He had hidden among all kinds of people in order to escape.
If you steal a child, you will either become a slave or enter the first-class Chufeng Hall.
After Bai Qi returned to the yard.
Feng Ranhua ate a few bites of breakfast in a hurry. She had promised to give Old Man Feng some good wine, but she never fulfilled her promise.
All the liquor in the warehouse was consumed yesterday, and some is still owed to each household.
There is another thing. Song Jiang and Cheng Qingniang are finally going to get married. Now these two are her right-hand men. She has to go to the shop herself to pick out some of the best headwear.
Show sincerity.
The group went to the neighboring county of Shaopo, where there lived a family called the Wu family who had been making wine for five generations. Their wines, such as Lihuabai, Fenxingjiao and Hankuquan, were well-known in Dayan, and all the noble families flocked to them.
Shaopo County is backed by Yuefeng Mountain, below which is the vast Yuexin Lake. The area near the mountain is shrouded in clouds and fog all year round. As a result, the water from the wells in Shaopo County is sweet and refreshing.
Best for brewing wine.
It was so close that we arrived outside Shaopo County in nearly an hour and a half.
Today happens to be a big market.
Qing Ling poked her head out and looked at the dazzling array of vendors, and said excitedly:
"Miss, I'm going to take someone to buy some new and neat toys for Ji'er and Ling'er. I'll go to the cloth shop to buy some cloth later. Where can I wait for you, Miss?"
Feng Ranhua narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll take people to the Wu family in the west of the city."
As soon as they entered the city, the two teams went their separate ways. Qingling took three people along the street to buy exquisite stone carvings and sachets.
Passing by a small animal woven from bamboo strips, Qingling was unable to lift her feet. It was the first time she had woven an animal from bamboo strips, and it looked so lifelike that even real insects would be confused if it were placed in the grass.
She picked up a finger-long bamboo silk butterfly. The bamboo silk was so delicate and exquisite that even the patterns on the wings were clearly visible!
"Boss, how much is one?" Qing Ling asked with a smile.
"Hey, young lady, you know what's good. This is a handicraft passed down from my family. The bamboo strips are cut into thin threads and woven very finely. It hurts the eyes! Don't worry, this craft is unique. My family doesn't charge a high price. Any item costs six copper coins. You can choose whatever you want, young lady."
The small vendor is a capable young man who has the talent to do business. He smiles as he speaks, which makes people feel happy.
"Okay, give me twenty, pick one of each, and the rest are all dragonflies and butterflies."
"Okay! Miss, please wait a minute, I'll install it for you." The vendor raised his voice happily and sang clearly.
Assemble the small animals made of bamboo strips.
The vendor was mysterious and asked in a low voice:
"Miss, do you want a bamboo carving? That's the latest creation of my elder brother, and it's quite precious. It's just... it's a bit expensive. But I didn't ask for a random price. It takes my elder brother at least a month to carve one, and at most more than two months."
Wow, it’s still a precious private item.
Qing Ling asked with a smile: "Okay, take it out and let me see it. As long as the goods are good, I won't lower your price."
The vendor looked around and when he saw no one was watching, he took out two cloth bags from the bamboo basket, opened the bags, revealing an exquisite golden toad, which looked lifelike.
I don't know how the color was dyed, but the eyeballs are black and white, using the original yellowish color of bamboo, and then brushed with oil, making it bright and clear.
The most rare thing is to find a bamboo that is larger than two fists, with three layers of bamboo nodes put together, with no more than two centimeters between them, and the grain is even and clearly visible.
"Look, my brother said that these places would look better if they were inlaid with gold and silver fragments. Hey, my family is poor, and we would be wasted without these things." The small vendor touched the back of his head and smiled innocently.
When the other generation of cloth bag was covered, Qingling's eyes lit up slightly. Hegu must have liked it, as she was a kind-looking Bodhisattva.
"I want both. Just name your price." Qing Ling put them back into the cloth bag and handed it to the guard behind her.
The vendor was as happy as his grandfather, rubbing his hands and tentatively asking for a price: "Then... five taels of silver for one piece?"
Qingling chuckled, thinking this was a very honest young man.
The vendor blushed, not knowing whether he had asked for too high a price or had said something that made people laugh, and he laughed along with everyone else.
"Good craftsmanship, good item. I guess your brother must have spent a lot of effort to find the bamboo material for this bamboo carving. I'll give you six taels of silver, keep it." Qing Ling said.
Wait until Qingling and her group have finished leaving.
Being a street vendor is like being in a dream. Grandpa always says that my brother is not doing his job properly, that he has not learned the craft passed down from his ancestors well, and that he is not as smart as the second brother from my uncle's family.
But for the item my brother made, the nobleman gave him six taels of silver, which was enough for our family to earn for four months!
【Lingyi Pavilion】
Qing Ling looked up and saw that the vendor just now said that Lingyi Pavilion had the most complete range of fabrics, and also had fabrics from Donghu and Xuanyue merchants.
"Miss, please come in. What material are you looking for?" A waiter warmly received Qing Ling.
Qingling took a look around and was dazzled by the fact that the whole room was filled with fabrics.
"I heard that you have materials that Xuan Yue brought over from business? Bring them here for me to see." Qing Ling looked up and said.
Xuan Yue’s materials are not cheap, and there are only three or four styles on display outside.
Look at this young lady wearing brocade clothes. The jade coral on her earlobes and the white jade bracelet on her wrist are both worth a lot of silver.
The waiter said enthusiastically, "Okay, wait for me."
In the right corner, a master and two servants were selecting fabrics. Suddenly, a maid in pale pink lightly pulled her mistress's sleeve and said:
"Madam, please take a look at this girl. Does she look like the maid of a village woman when we left Ai County?"
A village woman from Chuai County?
Instead of selling the carriage, the village woman was despised and frightened of her?
After the beautiful woman came to Shaopo County, her face became rounder. When she thought of Feng Ranhua and his group, her face turned gloomy.
When I turned my head, I saw Qingling picking up a piece of colorful Xuan Yue material and looking at it.
The elegant woman gritted her teeth and said, "Humph! It's really that lowly bunch of people."
Madam Qingli was the sister-in-law of Magistrate He, and was known as Madam He Er.
A calculation flashed in Mrs. He's eyes. She twisted her waist and walked to Qingling, pretending to pick up the material next to her and knead it to feel the texture.
Sudden.
"Ah!" Madam He Er fell on the cloth rack, her eyes misty, and she said angrily, "Where did this vulgar girl come from? Why are you pushing people around?!"
Qing Ling was stunned.
She seemed to be fine just now, her feet and hands didn't move, so why was she pushed?
"Ouch! Ouch!" Madam He Er was helped up by two maids. She sat on a wooden chair beside her, touching her head and crying out.
In a moment.
Hearing the scream, everyone looked towards Qing Ling.
