Chapter 209
Even compared with Jiangnan, the Beidu Protectorate's venue is not much inferior. It is extremely prosperous. Many of the places that Gu Ning has never seen before.
Especially in the venue, we can see many people from Yan, each with high nose and deep eyes, fair skin and tall figure. Many of them have excellent appearances.
Gu Ning's eyes stayed on many men. Until the man beside her coughed a few times, she realized something was wrong. She quickly squeezed out a smile on her face and naturally reached out to wrap her arms around her.
"Young Master, I want to buy that head and face!" Gu Ning said coquettishly.
Those around you who heard this voice subconsciously turned their eyes and saw that it was a beautiful beauty and a handsome and romantic young man beside you, and they all knew it.
It turned out that it was a rich young man who came out with a beauty, but he just fell in love with the head of this family. Even the rich young man would inevitably have heavy bleeding.
The decoration of the shop is particularly luxurious, but the most eye-catching thing is the head and face placed in the middle. The whole head and face are made of jade. The jade has excellent texture, but the most amazing thing is this ingenious carving skill.
Everyone sighed, their eyes full of surprise.
But after seeing the shop, those regular customers who had been shopping in the shop for a long time, shook their heads and walked straight past, as if they could not see these jewelry at all.
Gu Ning noticed something strange around him and pulled Xie Yan's sleeve while walking forward: "You really want to be this sucker?"
Hearing this, Xie Yan kept walking and still led Gu Ning forward.
"It's not a sucker." Xie Yan suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Ning and said seriously, "As long as it is something you want, I will get it for you."
"I'm just diverting their gaze!" Gu Ning rolled his eyes unhappily, "No matter how good the face is, it's not as good as the set of gemstone faces my grandmother gave me!"
Before Xie Yan could speak, Gu Ningyu Guang saw a familiar face on the portrait and immediately changed his voice: "I want that face! Go and buy it for me!"
Her attitude changed, which made Xie Yan realize something.
At this time, the attitudes of the people nearby became respectful, and many people had a little flattering expression.
"Is it Fang Chenghai?" Xie Yan guessed the identity of the person without hesitation.
The only one who can make Gu Ning change like this is their target this time, Fang Chenghai.
Seeing Gu Ning nodding gently, Xie Yan's eyes changed, and a strange and romantic smile suddenly appeared in his deep phoenix eyes.
He took out the folding fan in his hand and lifted Gu Ning's chin: "I'll just buy it for you!"
After saying that, he held Gu Ning's hand and the two of them walked into the shop with great strides.
The guy in the shop looked good. He glanced at the two of them and knew that this was a big customer, with a smile on his face: "What do you two customers want to buy? The jewelry we have here are all relics of the previous dynasty! Many of the skills are something that craftsmen today cannot do!"
"Relics of the previous dynasty?"
Xie Yan sneered, looked at the shop with disdain for a while, until he saw the head and face placed in the middle that he became interested.
"How much money does this face cost? I want it."
However, the guy who spoke out smiled and refused Xie Yan: "Young Master, the things in our shop are not bought for money. If you want... you have to exchange them for them!"
Xie Yan looked like a slutty young man. The guy explained it but never thought he could buy it.
But Gu Ning, the "popular concubine", acted like a spoiled person: "Young Master, you have said that you will buy whatever you want for me! I want this face!"
She pulled Xie Yan's sleeve and shouted.
Xie Yan's legs that were about to move away were retracted again. He put his arms around Gu Ning's shoulder and said to the clerk: "Tell me, what are you going to change?"
The guy's eyes changed and he smiled meaningfully: "Of course it is something in our court. You see what you lack the most in the court, what we need in this shop. If you can take it out, this face will be yours."
"What is missing?" Xie Yan frowned.
Behind him, Fang Chenghai finally couldn't help but laughed generously, then walked in.
"What is missing in the field is tea and porcelain, which are the most popular in Yan and the Huns."
Fang Chenghai brought a lot of followers behind him, and everyone could tell that he was extraordinary, but Xie Yan waved the folding fan in his hand, even though it was cold and cold, he seemed to have not noticed it.
"Tea?" Xie Yan suddenly clapped his hands, "I have a lot of tea!"
"How much tea leaves do you need to change this head face?" Xie Yan frowned, "I'm all the best Lushan Yunwu. Ten boxes to change a pair of head faces? Twenty boxes?"
As soon as he spoke, the guy's eyes became surprised.
"Twenty boxes are enough!" The guy smiled, "Tea leaves are precious, let alone top-quality tea leaves like Lushan Yunwu! If you want this, you only need to exchange them for Twenty boxes of Lushan Yunwu!"
Tea is very precious in the north. For the people of the Xiongnu and Yan, things like tea are easy to carry and can reduce their diseases. One or two tea leaves can be sold at a high price, let alone twenty boxes!
Xie Yan nodded undeniably, as if twenty boxes of tea were just a small deal for him.
Yue Rong brought his men to the shop and brought the precious head back to the inn.
As we went back and forth, everyone knew that Xie Yan had a lot of tea in his hands. On the way back to the inn, more than a dozen people came up to talk, and wanted to change some tea from Xie Yan's hands.
However, Fang Chenghai, who had spoken out at the beginning, did not take the initiative to come to Xie Yan.
"It seems that General Fang is indeed a powerful person." Gu Ning sat in the inn, carefully hammering his calves, and said in a muffled voice, "We are so big, he hasn't moved yet, just watching from the side? What is he thinking? Are you not worried that you will replace all the tea leaves?"
Xie Yan's eyes were dark: "This person is really hard to deal with."
"But if you take the initiative to deliver it to the door, he won't trust you." Gu Ning said quietly, "But we can't stay in the Northern Protectorate for too long, we still have to speed up."
"The news from the capital is coming, he will always take action." Xie Yan patted Gu Ning's hand gently, and then gently held Gu Ning in his arms. "I will take you to see someone before he comes to the door."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ning's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly felt an ominous premonition: "Who?"
Looking at the two huge stone lions in front of him and the two big words "Cai Mansion" on the plaque above his head, Gu Ning's eyelids suddenly jumped and he subconsciously wanted to retreat.
Xie Yan actually brought her to see General Cai! Could it be for their plan?
Many thoughts emerged in Gu Ning's mind, and her eyes turned, trying to see some clues from Xie Yan's face.
Unexpectedly, before Gu Ning could express what he thought, Xie Yan held her hand. Although the force was not strong, it was enough for Gu Ning to break free: "General Cai is kind to me, I want to take you to see him."
"He is my relative."
Xie Yan's last words made Gu Ning soften for a moment.
She opened her lips, but she didn't say anything to refuse.
In this world, no one who can truly be called Xie Yan's relatives is here, and a vicious uncle like the emperor is not worthy of becoming Xie Yan's relatives.
Gu Ning hesitated for a while and followed Xie Yan in.
As the rumors say, General Cai likes luxury. Even the stones that pave the road are paved with jade, and there are countless rare flowers and plants everywhere. In a desolate place like the Beidu Protectorate, it is enough to raise such a yard of flowers and plants, which shows the effort and money spent on it.
Every time Gu Ning takes a step, he sighs.
"Will General Cai really not cause dissatisfaction in the court?" Gu Ning murmured in a low voice, "Why haven't I heard of him being impeached by the censor?"
"You girl, still hope that I will be impeached by the censor?"
Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from the corridor, a burly figure and full of face
The bearded man walked out. Unlike the Chu people, there was a blue light in his eyes.
The one with such characteristics is the bloodline of the foreign races in the Western Regions. Such characteristics are regarded as ominous signs in both Chu and Yan.
General Cai smiled and touched his eyes and said, "It's just a little different, why? Are you afraid?"
Gu Ning quickly waved his hand and tried to look innocent: "It's just a little curious."
However, General Cai's eyes seemed to be able to see through Gu Ning's disguise. He groaned and laughed a few times and said, "Okay, I have heard a lot of rumors from Xie Yan. You little fox, don't pretend to be in front of me, the old fox."
When Gu Ning heard this, he stared at Xie Yan fiercely.
Before Xie Yan could answer, General Cai shouted: "Okay! Are you here to come to see me or to flirt with me?"
His words made Gu Ning's ears turn red in an instant, and she immediately walked several steps away from Xie Yan.
General Cai snorted a few times, raised his foot and walked in front, while Xie Yan led Gu Ning and followed closely behind.
"A lot of things have been added to your mansion, all of which were stolen from the Yan people?"
"Of course I bought it, but I just spent some money."
General Cai waved his hand impatiently, but even though his face was full of impatientness, he still answered every question about Xie Yan.
"The situation in the court is changing now, so the general should still restrain himself." Xie Yan advised, "Many eyes are staring at you. If someone catches something wrong..."
Upon hearing this, General Cai snorted coldly, laughing sarcastically: "If I am thrifty, just like those sour civil servants in the court, the emperor should be suspicious of me."
