It's not easy to be a scholar through Liaozhai

It was still early when Li Qing left Li Mansion, so he was not in a hurry to go back to the mountain, but planned to go to the market for a while. He planned to buy some jade and come back to set up a spirit gathering array, and he also bought some herbal seeds by the way. The speed of planting in the space will be faster, but the space is so big, and there are some more precious things in it, and the usual ones will be gone.

"Shi Yan, let's go directly to Rong'an Street, to Zhanbao Pavilion somewhere, I want to go shopping." Li Qing ordered while sitting in the carriage.

"Alright, young master." Shi Yan was obedient, he did what the young master said, and obediently turned to Rong'an Street.

Rong'an Street is the largest commercial street in their small county. The Great Yan Dynasty was similar to the Song Dynasty. The business was very prosperous, and the market was almost always open at night. Their Nanping County is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery. There shouldn't be such a prosperous commercial street in the first place. , but Nanping County is located in the south of the Yangtze River and is a node of north-south transportation. In addition, there is a Yudai River in Nanping County that leads directly to the canal, so it will naturally be more prosperous.

"Master, Zhan Baoge is here." Li Qing was thinking about something in the car, when he heard Shi Yan say something softly.

"En." Li Qing responded, got out of the car, and went directly into Zhanbao Pavilion. Zhanbao Pavilion is the largest treasure store in Nanping County, and it is one of the dowries given by Li Qing's mother's family.

"Master, why don't you let someone tell you in advance when you're here, so that this old slave can pick you up in advance!" Zhan Baoge's shopkeeper welcomed Li Qing into the shop with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Zhang, you don't need to be like this. You are an old man by my grandfather's side. You have watched me grow up since I was a child. How can you be so polite." Li Qing said gently.

"Master, you're going to be a slave." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile, his teeth blinded, "Is there anything you want when you come here this time?"

"Well, Uncle Zhang, I don't know if there are rough jade or gemstones in the store." Li Qing asked.

"Yes, yes, you come with this old slave. Our shop has just bought a batch of Kunlun jade and a batch of emerald jade from the west. There are also chicken blood stones. You can choose whatever you want." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.

"Excuse me." Li Qing nodded, and went to the backyard with shopkeeper Zhang, where there were many stones, and there were many sculptors choosing jade materials.

"Master, do you want me to choose some that have already been opened for you? Our shop has opened a particularly good suet jade this time. You must keep it as a jade pendant." Uncle Zhang said with a smile, their master is like this A single seedling, if there is a good thing, it will naturally go to the young master. Their Li family is not short of money. After all, the large dowry brought by the master when he married will not be the young master's. Now, the shopkeeper Zhang naturally wants to curry favor. with.

"No need, I will choose some by myself. Uncle Zhang will help me choose a set of carving tools, and I will take them back with me later." Li Qing said gently, Uncle Zhang is the shopkeeper that he has to use at the moment, and Li Qing is willing to give him some points respect.

"Okay, I'm going to prepare now, old slave." After the shopkeeper Zhang finished speaking, he went to prepare what Li Qing wanted, and Li Qing walked around the rough stones to sense, he was only full of spiritual energy, probably in this world His spiritual energy is sufficient, and the spiritual power contained in these jade stones is also sufficient. After choosing for half an hour, he picked out more than a dozen rough stones weighing nearly one hundred and ten kilograms, and Li Qing gave up.

"Uncle Zhang, these things are settled directly." Li Qing said.

"Master, you come to your house to pick things up, so why pay for it? Madam will scold me if she finds out!" Uncle Zhang said with a bitter face.

Li Qing shook his head, "Mother gave me a lot of bank notes when I left home, you can pay me directly to avoid mistakes in the account." Li Qing said gently, but the expression on his face was very firm.

"Well, okay." Uncle Zhang nodded helplessly, "These old slaves of rough stones are worth 130 jin in total based on the purchase price. You can just give the old slave 100 taels." Zhang Bo said.

Li Qing nodded and signaled Shi Yan to give the money, "Uncle Zhang, I have to trouble you to open the contents for me, and then send them directly to Shanju?"

"Yes, yes, don't worry, the old servant will take care of it properly." Zhang Bo replied with a smile and nodded.

"Well, please trouble Uncle Zhang." After Li Qing finished speaking, he left Zhanbao Pavilion. He planned to leave directly, but he saw this hunter not far away. There were many prey in front of him, and there was a bamboo cage inside. It seemed to be a fox, howling mournfully, looking very pitiful.

"Young master, please take a look, I am a new prey, look at this leather, how beautiful it is." Orion saw Li Qing standing in front of him, and immediately shouted vigorously.

Li Qing took a look, those animals were common hares, pheasants, foxes and the like, their fur was really good, but not as delicate as the ones that were bred. It seems that their Li family has a special village to breed these animals.

"How do you sell this fox?" The reason why Li Qing came here was entirely because of the faint aura exuding from this fox.

"This?" Orion asked strangely. It was a coincidence that he caught this fox. This fox probably has something to do with the one that died at the stall. When he caught that fox, the red fox didn't run away. , and wanted to attack him, but was shot back by him with an arrow. He saw that this fox was beautiful and had a good fur, so he thought about bringing it here and selling it as a pet, and the price would be higher.

"Yes, how much?" Li Qing nodded.

"If you really want it, give me ten taels of silver, and this fox will give it to you." Orion rolled his eyes and said.

"You've been fooled," Shi Yan said loudly, "This kind of fox is only worth two renminbi at most, but you actually want ten taels, you must be crazy about money!"

"If you want to buy it, you can buy it, if you don't, it's just the price!" Orion said firmly.

Li Qing looked at the fox with tears streaming down his face, looking like he was going to cry or not, and twitched from time to time, looking very pitiful, smiled slightly, "Shi Yan, give me the money."

"Master!" Shi Yan screamed, but seeing Li Qing gave him an impatient look, he obediently took out the money.

"I want this too." Li Qing pointed to the fox corpse on Orion's stall, and said coldly.

"Okay, this is for you." Orion also knew that he was a bit guilty of earning today, so he simply gave the dead fox to Li Qing.

Li Qing nodded, and carried the fox cage by himself, Shi Yan took the dead fox behind, and followed them back to the carriage.

"Master, where do you want to go?" Shi Yan put the dead fox in the box at the back of the carriage and asked back to the front.

"No need, just go back." Li Qing said, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the fox in the cage. This fox is not small in size, it is as big as a wolfhound from head to tail, and its fur looks a little bit because of struggling. Messy, not very good-looking, but this fox is indeed a beautiful little guy, with fiery red fur, snow-white four claws, and a pair of dripping round eyes like black grapes. The phase is really good.

Li Qing looked at the fox in the cage with a smile, and the fox was also looking at the person in front of him, "Little thing, I will let you out, you are not allowed to bite me, do you hear me?" Li Qing said with a smile, and then saw that the fox didn't seem to Resisting, he stretched out his hand and opened the cage.

Not to mention, this fox probably really understood Li Qing's words, and was carried out of the cage by Li Qing without any resistance at all.

The fox's hind leg was indeed injured, and it looked quite serious. Orion probably didn't treat the wound properly. The weather is still hot, and the wound has already started to become infected and inflamed. When Li Qing touched it lightly, the fox whined. He yelled, but he didn't bite Li Qing, and he didn't even stick out his nails with his kicking claws, which made him feel pity in his heart.

"Little thing is really good, don't move, I'll give you some medicine at home." Li Qing lightly stroked the fox's back, smoothing out the somewhat messy fur.

Li Qing looked at the fox in his arms with gentle eyes, even though the fox had a slight odor, he didn't care too much, in fact Li Qing liked these little furry things, no matter if it was a kitten or a puppy or some other small animals, He likes them very much, but it's a pity that his retreat is only ten days and a half months. These little things need the company of people, otherwise they will not be happy at all, so I can only regretfully give up the idea of ​​raising a cute furry, This fox probably fulfilled one of his dreams.When its injury healed, he released it back to the forest, which was considered to have fulfilled one of his wishes.

Probably because it was very comfortable to be touched by Li Qing, the fox squinted his eyes and purred comfortably, Li Qing liked it even more.
