In the eyes of the herdsmen, Geqiong City is more like a big market than a royal city. There are six markets of various types in the city. The clothing market is in the east of the city, not too far from where He Ran and the others live. Now the herdsmen

During the busiest time, we have to go all out to reserve fodder for the next winter, so the market is relatively deserted.

In the end, Xiao Xiao did not allow many personal guards to accompany her. She had never liked to be public, and the crowds of people shouting and swarming made her uncomfortable. This is what the so-called art masters are bold, and she was sure that even if someone wanted to harm He Ran and the others,

She also didn't dare to gather people to cause trouble. If there were just a few murderers, she could handle it by herself. Just in case, she asked Yun Ye and Xiao Ling to follow them secretly, while she put on a veil and gave He Ran a big leather hat.

Hats, people who are not familiar with them should not be able to recognize them.

Of course, most of the prairie clothing sold in this season is fur products, and the grades vary greatly. They are basically sheepskin. Fox skin, wolf skin, leopard skin and other products can also be seen occasionally. Although the styles of woven products are relatively simple, the colors are bright and eye-catching, and they can be matched with each other.

The ornaments made of various kinds of jade and gold, pearls and silver pieces, which are special products of Shangprairie, are very regional. Xiao Xiao loves these very much. As long as they are exquisitely handmade, he will happily buy them. Most of the transactions here are based on barter.

Customers and sellers are very happy to meet the customers and sellers who make real money from flowers.

Most of the sellers are herdsmen who produce and sell their own goods, and their asking prices are very honest. Even the traders who make a living from selling are rarely treacherous. However, there are a few traders who sell products from the Central Plains, and they charge extremely high prices, and they all have shrewd eyes.

Xiao Xiao's desire to shop at this moment was even greater than when he was in Xuanding City. He would stop at almost every stall for a while, happily comparing various clothes on himself, and letting He Ran pay as long as he felt it was suitable.

, Yunye and Xiaoling, who had promised to protect them secretly, had to show up to carry their bags before they had gone far.

He Ran saw that most of the clothes she bought were slightly smaller sizes, and guessed that she should buy them for Su Xiyao and the others, so whenever Xiao Xiao picked up a piece and asked him for advice with his eyes, he nodded, and the accompanying women

The interpreter didn't know what was going on, so she reminded him kindly at first, but when Wang Jia saw him, she just smiled, and then she stopped talking.

When he came to the booth of a boy and girl, Xiao Xiao saw that they were probably passionate lovers who wanted to take care of their business. There were only two sets of clothes in front of the girl, one was new and the other was obviously worn.

Yes, Xiao Xiao took a look at the new set. Although there was nothing surprising about it, he bought it without hesitation. When he saw He Ran playing with a scimitar in front of the man, he immediately said: "Buy it."

.”

He Ran didn't want to dampen her interest and paid the money together. The man and woman were very happy. The girl held up the set of used clothes and said with eager eyes: "Just give me some money for this."

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head. Seeing that the ebony accessories on her chest were very distinctive, he said to the female interpreter: "Ask her if the accessories hanging on her chest are for sale."

After listening to the female interpreter's question, the girl touched the accessory with her hand and looked at the man beside her. The man nodded to her, reached out and took off the accessory for her, and handed it to Xiao Xiao.

"They want us to give a price." The female interpreter said to Xiao Xiao.

Seeing the expressions on their faces just now, Xiao Xiao guessed that this accessory probably had special meaning for them. They were willing to sell such things because they obviously needed money urgently, so he smiled and said: "Three taels of silver, maybe."

The female interpreter thought she had heard wrong, looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise and said: "This thing is not even worth a penny!"

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded to her, indicating that he knew clearly, "Sanliang, ask them if they sell it."

The female interpreter had no choice but to quote the price.

The man was stunned when he heard the price. He couldn't help but grabbed the girl's hand, with a look of surprise on his face. After looking at the girl, he saw the girl gently shaking her head. He nodded to the girl and turned to Xiao.

Xiao said: "This is not worth so much."

The female interpreter knew the simplicity of the Fan people very well, so she was not surprised by this and translated it to Xiao Xiao truthfully.

"Tell them I know this is something special and I'm willing to pay the price."

He Ran said to the female interpreter: "If Wang Jia wants to do good deeds generously to me, please help her."

The female interpreter smiled, turned around and expressed Xiao Xiao's intention to the man and woman.

The man and woman bowed to Xiao Xiao excitedly and gratefully, and the girl hung the accessory around Xiao Xiao's neck with her own hands, saying something genuine.

The female interpreter said: "She said that you are the most beautiful woman in the world, and I hope that the great God Guanzhao will bless you to be as happy as the cloud swallows in the sky."

Xiao Xiao gently touched the girl's cheek and said, "You are beautiful too. May all your wishes come true."

As soon as the female interpreter finished translating, a man in his forties suddenly came over and started hitting the man. The man didn't seem to dare to fight back and argued loudly. The girl turned pale with fright and looked at the man in fear.

Man.

Xiao Xiao frowned, and the female interpreter hurriedly whispered: "Listen, this man is the man's father. He seems to not want his son to associate with this girl."

Hearing that it was a household matter, Xiao Xiao knew it was not good for her to interfere. She watched the man dragging him away with anger. The girl looked at their backs and couldn't help wiping her tears, looking extremely pitiful.

After the onlookers dispersed, Xiao Xiao still refused to leave and ordered the female interpreter to ask for details. After some conversation, the female interpreter said: "Their parents are horse-changing brothers. The two families have a very good relationship, so it is for them

The marriage was arranged, but the girl's father was killed while doing business, and her goods were looted, so she owed a lot of debt. Her mother could not bear this blow, and she couldn't afford to fall ill, so she borrowed some money for medical treatment.

Debt, this man is kind and kind, and often takes money from home to support the girl's family. However, the man's father wanted to regret the marriage when he saw that her family was in deep debt. After finding out about his son's behavior, he would never let him touch the family's money again. He said,

The woman must prepare enough dowry for the two of them to get married, and the day after tomorrow is the original wedding day. The two of them borrowed money from various places, but they still couldn't make up the dowry that the man's father asked for, so they had to come here to sell their belongings."

Xiao Xiao's anger suddenly rose upon hearing this, and he regretted not teaching that treacherous man a lesson just now.

He Ran sighed and said to the female interpreter: "Ask her how much money is left."

After questioning, the female interpreter said: "Wang Jia just gave me three taels of silver. The difference is not much. One more tael should be enough."

He Ran went out and handed the five taels of silver to the girl, but the girl hurriedly refused and did not dare to accept it.

Xiao Xiao looked at He Ran displeased and said, "Why are you so stingy? Her family owes so much debt. What can this little money do?"

He Ran took out his money bag and said aggrievedly: "I don't know how many things you have to buy next. They are all here. Just give them to you."

Xiao Xiao took the money bag without looking and forced it into the girl's hand, saying: "All for you." He snatched the five taels of silver from He Ran and stuffed it into the girl's hand.

The heavy money bag frightened the girl, and her little face turned red.

He Ran saw another person gathering around her, so he said to Xiao Xiao: "Take her away from here first and go to a clean place."

Xiao Xiao ordered the female interpreter to pack up some miscellaneous items from her stall, and he pulled the girl and quickly left the market.

When there was no one around, Xiao Xiao took off his veil and took the girl's hand and said, "This little money means nothing to me. You can just take it without worry and you don't have to pay it back to me."

No matter what Xiao Xiao said, the girl refused to accept it. In the end, she timidly asked Xiao Xiao to buy all the remaining items for her with one tael of silver, so that she would be grateful.

Xiao Xiao felt pity and love for her, and insisted on giving her the money bag. Seeing that Wang Jia was sincere in helping her, the female interpreter whispered: "If Wang Jia really wants to show his love, why not condescend to marry her as a sister?"

According to prairie customs, it is natural for sisters to exchange money with each other, so she will not refuse."

Xiao Xiao was overjoyed. After listening to the female interpreter's words, the girl waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that she did not dare to climb higher. Xiao Xiao knew that she was timid, so he asked the female interpreter about the rules of changing handkerchiefs, and half-forced to become sisters with the girl. He didn't know until this moment

Her name was Qiong Sambiye, and Xiao Xiao did not dare to reveal her true identity in case she couldn't bear it.

Qiong Sangbiye was moved by Xiao Xiao's true feelings and threw herself into her arms and cried loudly. The grievances she had held in her heart since her father's death were all vented at this moment. When she finally stuffed the money bag into Xiao Xiao's hand, she opened it and looked at it.

Her eyes were wide open at that time, and most of them were gold. This wealth was too great for her, and she wanted to refuse it.

Xiao Xiao became more confident after becoming a sister. He forced her to accept it without any explanation, and said with a smile: "Go and prepare the dowry."

Qiong Sangbiye hugged Xiao Xiao and kissed her on the face, saying: "Sister is so beautiful. I must come the day after tomorrow. I will never get married if you don't come."

Xiao Xiao happily agreed, asked her about the location, talked to her affectionately for a while, and then urged her to prepare the dowry. Qiong Sangbi left reluctantly.

"You have become her master of cheating." He Ran joked.

Xiao Xiao was in an extremely good mood and said to Yun Ye: "Go and send all the things back and get some money. I have to buy clothes again."

He Ran pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Why don't you let Xiaoling go back to withdraw the money? Are you spending all of it on me?"

Xiao Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "Wang Jia is giving you face by spending your money!"

Xiao Xiao glanced at Xiao Ling appreciatively and pulled her towards the market.

After finally buying enough clothes, Xiao Xiao proposed to go to another market because she had to buy a wedding gift for her new sister.

He Ran smiled and said: "Do you really take this friendship seriously?"

Xiao Xiao glared and said, "What are you talking about? Oh, only a friendship with a powerful person like King Fan can be considered a friendship, right? My sister is poor, so I don't need to take her seriously, right?"

He Ran was choked and blinked, and said: "Okay, okay, I guess I said something wrong, then you must go to watch the ceremony the next day, right?"

"Of course, you have to go too!" Xiao Xiao said savagely.

Before He Ran could say anything, Xiaoling winked and said, "This is also to give you face!"

Xiao Xiao glared at Xiaoling this time.
