376 Encounter
For the 108th time, Shen Cha regretted agreeing to go out with Qi Zhifeng. This was really the first time she had met someone who liked to talk so much.
Frankly speaking, there are many eloquent people around her, such as Song Jue who is far away in Xijing, such as Xue Ruitian, such as Jin Jing, and even the generals in the army are not very talkative. Because she and her brother don't like to talk much, people around them do a lot of talking for them. But they like to talk at different times and occasions, and people like Qi Zhifeng chatter endlessly without even speaking. This was the first time he was a talkative person who was breathless. Several times, she was worried that this kid would choke on her saliva.
Shen Cha sighed softly. She felt that with Qi Zhifeng here, the Qi Mansion must be very lively. After all, one mouth of this kid can match the four mouths of others. Once he starts talking, there is no possibility of stopping.
"General!" Mei Zhu approached Shen Cha's ear with admiration and whispered, "Young Master Qi is so confident. He has been talking for so long and he is not tired at all. He can still continue talking." She took a look. Taking a look at Jin Jing and Qi Zhifeng who were walking in front, she said, "The military advisor and Mr. Qi have similar interests, and the two of them can talk together. It seems that they are quite happy chatting. Ah, by the way!" She clapped her hands gently. "I almost forgot. Mr. Qi just brought a cart of things to the inn. He said it was... said it was a meeting gift from their family, Master Qi, and Mrs. Qi to you and the military advisor."
"Meeting gift?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "This... I haven't met you yet, why did you send me a meeting gift? Isn't this... not very polite? What did Qi Mansion send here? Let's Wasn’t the previous preparation not enough?”
"Because I was in a hurry to go out, I didn't have time to watch it yet!"
"Sister Xiaocha, don't be too burdened!" Qi Zhifeng, who was walking in front, heard the conversation between Shen Cha and Mei Zhu and stopped deliberately. He waited until Shen Cha came up and explained, "Actually, I'm going back Only when I got home did I find out that they had gotten up very early to pay a visit to Sister Xiaocha and Brother Xiaojing. But the visit was not successful and instead they watched a big show."
"Did Duan Yu arrange that scene himself?" Shen Cha was a little embarrassed, "It's really... funny."
"That's not the case, Sister Xiaocha, you don't know how much my father and mother appreciate you. I wish you were their daughter." Qi Zhifeng pouted, pretending to be dissatisfied and said, " You don’t know, when I went home just now, my mother grabbed my ears and scolded me. She was a man, not a girl, who did things quickly and decisively. It was a shame for her. Not only did my father not speak for me, he also To add insult to injury, he said that he didn’t know what kind of bad luck I had. I met such a powerful sister, so I have to learn from you."
"Master Qi, Mrs. Qi is so complimentary!" Shen Cha waved his hand, "I cannot bear this compliment!"
"Deserve it!" Qi Zhifeng said with a smile, "I also think Sister Xiaocha is very good, better than all the girls I have ever seen."
"Oh, do you like your little tea sister very much?" Jin Jing hooked up Zhi Feng's neck, a smirk flashed on her face, "If you were asked to choose between Mr. Nan and our general, what would you do? Which choice?"
"Why should I choose? For me, both of them are indispensable!" Qi Zhifeng asked the boy who followed him to buy a candied haws for everyone, and a bowl of local Linhuang Mansion for each person. Snack noodles and tea, "Anan is my favorite person, and sister Xiaocha is my favorite sister. They are different!" He distributed the candied haws and noodles to everyone, "It sounds like I have a hard life, too. After returning home, I wanted to take a good bath, but my father and mother urged me to go out in a hurry. By the way, they also prepared some things for me to take to the inn. None of them were valuable. Something, sister Xiaocha and brother Xiaojing, don’t refuse it.”
"Okay!" Shen Cha smiled, "We have these things. When you go home, please remember to take our return gift home."
"Sister Xiaocha, why are you so polite?" Qi Zhifeng waved his hand, "Well..."
"This is not polite, it is the right thing to do. Before we set off, we had already prepared the greetings, not only for the family, but also for other people. We originally planned to wait until we had paid our condolences to the late King of Liao before going to the family to pay our respects. , I didn’t expect that we were overtaken by the two elders, which is really rude of us.”
When Qi Zhifeng saw Shen Cha's persistence, he could only agree.
The urban division of Linhuang Mansion is similar to that of Xijing, divided into four urban areas: southeast, northwest and northwest. The northern city is where the Liao Palace is located and the residence of dignitaries. The southern city is inhabited by ordinary people and petty officials and soldiers. The eastern city is almost occupied by the city. It is occupied by shopping malls, shops, inns, etc., while the west city is occupied by some Qinlou, Chuguan, casinos, theaters, etc., which can be regarded as the busiest and most mixed place in the entire Linhuang Mansion.
Qi Zhifeng didn't dare to take Shen Cha and Jin Jing to the West City. The most they could do was hang out in the East City.
"Sister Xiaocha, brother Xiaojing, let me tell you, this Yao Ji is the shop with the most complete range of rouge and gouache in Linhuang Mansion. No matter they are from a wealthy family or a businessman's home, all the ladies like Yao Ji. Come to buy something. This store is also very strange. The business is so prosperous, but it is determined not to open a semicolon. So every time they launch new things, there will be a long queue at the door. Whenever this time , all the city patrols are required to maintain public order. What’s even more annoying is that those new products are actually... limited in quantity, so come early, come early, so many mansions send servants, and servants come to line up in the middle of the night, for fear of arriving late. I can’t buy it anymore.” Qi Zhifeng stopped at Yao Ji’s door, looked at Shen Cha and asked, “Want to go in and take a look?”
"You can take a look!" Shen Cha nodded and followed Qi Zhifeng into Yaoji. As he walked, he asked Jin Jing, "Is this the one Hongye told me about before? And what sister Jin Yu mentioned, is it the same one? Is this the same place? It seems that even Miaomiao has chatted with me."
"That's right, they are all talking about the same family, this Yao Ji. This opportunity is rare, but we can really fulfill their wishes." Jin Jing stretched out, "You, don't just think about them. A few of you should also think about it for yourself. After all, you are adults and it’s time to learn to dress yourself up. It’s too unsightly to be unkempt all day long.”
"I think it's pretty good." After entering the shop, Shen Cha took out a list from his sleeves and handed it directly to the shopkeeper who greeted each of them. "Please check, shopkeeper, if everything is written on it. "
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper respectfully took the order handed over by Shen Cha. He didn't know Shen Cha or Jin Jing, but he knew Qi Zhifeng. He knew they were from the young master of the Qi family talking and laughing with these two people. His status was unusual, so he naturally treated them as distinguished guests. He invited the group to sit down, ordered the waiters to serve tea and snacks, and went behind the counter to check the things listed on the list.
"Sister Xiaocha, do you want to buy so many things?" Qi Zhifeng also glanced at the list. It was densely packed, with no more than thirty or fifty items. "Are you going to empty out Yao Ji?"
"You are overthinking!" Jin Jing patted Qi Zhifeng on the shoulder, "Nothing in this belongs to her. She never uses these things and is never interested in them."
"Ah?" Qi Zhifeng looked shocked. He had never thought that there were women in the world who didn't like rouge and gouache. None of the noble ladies, official family members, and women from wealthy families in Linhuang Mansion were like this. Yes, they would rather have more than less. They obviously have uses, but once something new comes out, they still can't control themselves and must keep it for themselves. He looked at Shen Cha seriously, "Why? ?”
"What's the reason?" Shen Cha smiled, "If you don't like it, you just don't like it."
"Don't be so surprised. You'll get used to it after seeing her a few times." Jin Jing yawned, "After all, she is a strange woman who doesn't play by the rules. Not to mention that we are in Daxia, plus Liao and Jin, I'm afraid we are all I can’t find the second one!”
Before Qi Zhifeng could say anything, a man walked in from outside. Seeing the people sitting in the hall, he happily came over.
"Oh, what a coincidence. Aren't these the generals and military advisors of Daxia?"
Everyone raised their heads and took a closer look. Duan Yu, who had been rejected by them in the morning, was standing in front of them with a smile.
"It's really...haunting!"
