Chapter two

Xiji is a market building in the west of the city. It has six floors all over the city. One floor is used for storing goods, and the other floors are used for commercial transactions or negotiations. The high platform on the center lobby on the first floor will sometimes bid for and auction some special commodities. A large business district is attached to the high building, and various hawkers gather together, and the paths are complicated.

The carriage was swinging left and right, and people on the roadside who were rushing to the early market had already arrived at the stall and started shouting. Some people were walking on both sides of the path and some were stopping to talk to the vendors.

Wu Chi followed the carriage and shook left and right. The shouts of selling meat in her ears were deafening and then gradually faded away. Then the sound of a woman bargaining and the rattle of the children around her. The shouts of Aunt Yang, who was selling fruits in the east of the city, followed by the peaches in her fruit garden.

Wu Chi heard a familiar voice and called Dafu to stop and opened the curtain of the carriage.

"Isn't this a little girl from Xuanpu?" Aunt Yang recognized Wu Chi at once.

Wu Chi lay on the carriage window and smiled slightly, and started chatting with Aunt Yang.

"Aunt Yang, aren't you from Dongji? Why did you come to Xiji today?"

Aunt Yang put the tender red peaches in the sack one by one on the stall, with a springy face and a proud smile

"The general of Zhanye won a great victory in suppressing bandits. When the army returned to the court, my youngest son also followed the general of Zhanye and followed Guang. When he heard that the army entered the city from the west gate, he came here in advance to sell some while waiting."

Wu Chi's eyes followed Aunt Yang's peaches from the sack, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.

"So that's it. Aunt Yang, you are tender and tender. I feel itchy when you look at me, so put a few on me."

Aunt Yang took out a bag from the bamboo basket behind her and put a few big and red peaches on it.

"Okay, the little girl is going to see Gui Jun today. I heard that it's so lively." Aunt Yang handed the peach bag to Dafu.

Wu Chi took out the ten-patterned stone from the small purse she carried with her and handed it to Aunt Yang. Then she looked at Xuan Niang, who was sitting opposite the carriage with surprise, hoping to get permission to participate in the fun.

Xuan Niang sat upright, her cheeks were gloomy, and her frown was almost twisting with the wrinkles on her forehead.

Xuan Niang's reaction was really unexpected. Wu Chi shrugged her shoulders slightly, and she answered helplessly Aunt Yang, "Forget it, our Xuan Niang's face doesn't seem to be right."

Dafu ordered the horse to continue walking, and Xuanniang also began to preach

"You are not young anymore, either you go to join in the fun every day, or you wear a big green robe to go to the tavern to tell stories, or you are on the way to buy Luobingsu. Miss Yuan from the big teahouse on the street opposite is now making tea, and it is also unambiguous to calculate the accounts. I went to the tea a few days ago and saw her falling out. Everyone I saw said that no one among the girls of the same age in a radius of ten streets could match her. Oh, I heard that as a red matchmaker, I was about to break the threshold of their family."

Xuan Niang frowned and looked at Wu Chi, who was eating peaches with disgust.

Dafu stopped the horse, and Wu Chi saw Xuanniang planning to say something again, so he immediately took over the conversation and left this place of failure.

"It's time to get up."

Dafu took out Budta from behind the carriage, Wu Chi got out of the car first, and then helped Xuan Niang get out of the car, the two of them entered Xiji together.

Dafu pulled open the curtain, and what came into his eyes was a wooden case as tall as a man. The door block stood behind the wooden case with a small high platform, and half of his body could be exposed.

When I saw someone coming at the gate, I immediately came up and said, "The Xuanpu is here, what are you going to buy today."

Xuan Niang took out a wooden strip of engraved words from her pocket and handed it to the door.

"I agreed with your shopkeeper a few days ago that I will verify the pots from Haisheng that I will first."

People in Xiji call this license plate, and there are some strange words engraved on it. None of the words in any country are. Only people in Xiji can see these words clearly.

The door block put away the license plate and guided Xuanniang and Wuchi through the lobby. The inside of Xiji was not as noisy as outside, but on the contrary, it seemed more silent. The skylight shone on the lobby through the hollow atrium, providing brightness for the corridor next to it. Several people parked in one of the many warehouses.

The door block took out the copper key from the outer garment, opened the large copper lock in front of the warehouse door, and then raised his hand, "That's it, Xuanshu requested."

In order to prevent theft, the warehouse did not open a large window, but replaced it with a thin and tall long window. Although the sun was in the sky, the window could only emit a faint light, which was soon swallowed up by the darkness in the warehouse. The warehouse was a little dim, and the air was mixed with the dampness of wooden boxes and the earthy smell of burning pots. There were more than a dozen large wooden boxes piled up in the warehouse, neatly arranged.

Xuan Niang patted Wu Chi with his hand, turned his head slightly and said to Wu Chi.

"Chi'er, you go and test it."

Wu Chi nodded slightly, stepped forward and opened one of the wooden boxes, took out one of the clay pots from the straw, closed his eyes and picked up the clay pot with one hand, tapped the clay pot with the knuckles of the other hand, and then put it on the wooden box, approached with a wax lamp, and observed carefully for a week.

After doing this, Wu Chi returned to Xuan Niang and approached Xuan Niang and whispered: "The sound is crisp and bright, there are no cracks on the surface, the surface is smooth and there is no color difference. It is indeed the best product in Haishenglang City."

Xuan Niang said to the door stop waiting outside the door, "The goods have been experienced, so I have to lead the way to meet the goods owner."

The doorman responded and led Xuan Niang and his men upstairs.

Outside the capital, an army was pressing towards the gate gate. The floating red flag read "Battlefield". The soldiers who had won the battle held high spears, iron boots, and all the war horses were wearing silver armor. The neat footsteps of thousands of troops and the sound of hooves of thousands of horses fluctuated with the surrounding air.

The leader was riding a sturdy brown horse, extremely powerful, and the horse was Zhan Yehua. He was nearly middle-aged and was nine feet long, with a wide waist and ten circumference. He was full of energy and energy.

Zhan Yehua stroked his beard and looked back, but he didn't see the person he was looking for.

Then he asked, "What about General Yin?"

The sound of horse hooves came from afar. Yin Qu was wearing a silver mask, tall, thin and cold. His eyes were sharp and cold under the mask, dark and deep. His sword eyebrows revealed the unique killing aura of a soldier. His fair face was sharp and sharp, and his slightly raised thin lips exuded the power of a proud look on the world.

"General Zhanye, Yin Qu is here." Yin Qu's low voice came over with the sound of horse hooves, Zhanye Hua frowned

"Qu'er, why are you running around? You're about to approach Beijing."

Yin Qu smiled with a smile and said lightly, "I went to Xiji to visit"

Zhan Yehua looked up slightly and laughed silly. "Sure enough, he is still a playful boy. Let's go, the emperor should wait for us for a long time."

Xijinei

When you arrive at the third floor, there is a row of wooden chairs on the left and the right of the private room is a row of wooden chairs surrounded by railings. You can see the sky outside. Several dark red lanterns are hung above the wooden chairs, and the red tassels are still in the sky.

The door block pointed to the room at the end, "It's here, please give me a shop."

Xuan Niang stopped and said softly to Wu Chi behind her.

"Chi'er, go in and get the matter done, and I'll wait in the next room for tea."

Wu Chi opened her mouth blankly, showing an incredible expression, and her voice became weaker.

"Don't Xuan Niang go in with me?"

Later, he leaned closer to Xuanniang's ear and said, "I have never talked about business alone."

Xuanniang said calmly

"How do you talk when you are talking about books, and now you are playing with them."

After saying that, Xuan Niang turned around and left, raised her foot to enter a private room on the left. In fact, as soon as she entered, she sat in the corner closest to the room at the end, listening carefully to the movements next door.

Wu Chi let out a long sigh, put his hand on his chest and patted it, suppressing the beating nervousness in his heart. He had seen Xuan Niang discuss business, so he was just a verbal battle.

Wu Chi walked closer to the door, slowed down and stopped. Xiuzhai pushed open the double-closed door with her slender hand. In front of her was a large screen embroidered by flowers and birds. Bypassing the screen, she saw someone who wanted to fight wits and courage.

I thought it would be an obese middle-aged businessman, but it was actually a young man. The man was wearing a white-skinned robe with silver threads on his cuffs, his long black hair was half tied, and his scattered hair was whisked on his jade-like face by the breeze. His temples were cut like knifes, and his eyebrows were like ink paintings. Every move revealed the temperament of a young man.

Wu Chi gave a greeting first, walked towards the chair opposite the man, and sat down in his skirt.

The man picked up the green glaze ice jade teapot with his thin hand and poured tea into the tea cup with a slight angle. Clear tea water passed through the air and rushed into the tea cup steadily.

Wu Chi was a little stunned, and she didn't wake up until the teacup was handed to her.

Wu Chi took the teacup with both hands, accidentally wiped the thin hand, looked at the black eyes, and immediately took the teacup over.

"The young master is He Shangjia from Haisheng Kingdom."

A sharp light appeared in He Lingjun's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled.

"Sit across from the girl, can't I prove my identity?"

Wu Chi pursed her lips, and a moment of speechlessness flashed in her heart.

"Curry's products have been tested for the first time, and after the transaction, the Xuanshou will carefully inspect each pot."

He Lingjun smiled like the moon, his eyes were deep, and he looked up at Wu Chi.
