A total of seven wells were dug next to the blacksmith shop. The water in the wells is sweet and the air-conditioning is strong.
It is rumored that Master Ruan, who once lived in Qilong Lane for a period of time, is an immortal who can make swords, and even the court respects him very much. The official of the Ministry of Rites and Mr. Xiao Wu have both visited in person. Therefore, Master Ruan's identity is unknown.
It’s simple and can’t be faked. Many people want to put their children into the blacksmith shop, but unfortunately they are no longer hiring. However, Master Ruan once went to town to buy wine and selected two children to be apprentices. The next day
The wine shop was overcrowded. They were all adults and elders carrying their children. The problem was that no one was actually buying wine. They were all eagerly waiting for Master Ruan to take a fancy to. The children didn't care about their future.
The dance was noisy.
In fact, before the appearance of the county magistrate Wu Yuan, the town only knew that he was a citizen of Dali, and that the dragon kiln was used to bake porcelain for the family of the Dali Emperor.
Things like visiting relatives, going on study tours, and marrying far away from home are not taught in books or mentioned by the elders. This has been the case for generations. People from the four surnames and ten tribes who know some inside stories dare not reveal the secrets.
Those lucky ones who were chosen by their natal porcelain were able to go out and admire the great rivers and mountains outside. Before the Lizhu Cave sky shattered and fell, they had no chance to return home in glory. This was one of the rules established by the saints from all directions in the town in the early years.
Now according to the notices posted by the county government and the explanations of literate people, I know that it was because the mountain roads in Longquan County were too steep. Now the court has made great efforts to open the roads. It is for the purpose of opening up mountains and giving those mountain tops to someone.
At the same time, a group of people headed by the officials of the county government office began to explain various rules to the people in the jurisdiction and how to get along with outsiders.
For example, you are not allowed to point at strangers, children are not allowed to bump into pedestrians on the street, and you are absolutely not allowed to touch a stranger's horse without permission, etc. If there is any dispute, people must report it to the Longquan County Government truthfully and are not allowed to make their own decisions.
The government will deal with it impartially.
The four surnames and ten tribes did not show too much enthusiasm for this, nor did they mean to help the county government to do what they could. They mostly just watched with cold eyes. As for whether they were waiting to see the county government make a joke, only Wu Yuan and those old foxes
My stomach is clear.
Ruan Xiu, who grew up in Fengxue Temple, the ancestral home of the military family, was not deeply touched by the huge changes in the town, or in other words, he did not care.
Ever since she met a certain dwarf winter melon, she had been in a depressed mood.
That arrogant woman went to Chen Ping'an's house in a big way, and broke the copper locks on the courtyard door and the house door. When she was cleaning the two houses, she happened to bump into the man who was going to change them.
Ruan Xiu was so angry that she raised her eyebrows and ran up to reason. Those people seemed to know her identity and apologized respectfully. But who is the culprit behind the scenes? If you pretend to be Miss Ruan, you can beat us to death.
Ruan Xiu asked them to hand over the old lock and the new key. When they returned to the blacksmith shop, they met the short winter melon. How dare she still have the nerve to smile and say that she was not careful.
The copper lock was broken.
As agreed, Ruan Xiu also hired people to repair an uninhabited dilapidated house in Mubo Alley. A large hole appeared in the roof, the beams were rotten, and the red paint was peeling off. Ruan Xiu asked bricklayers from small towns to carefully repair it.
I was careful to add bricks and tiles, but in the end I felt really uneasy and watched them work for most of the day.
Then there are the adjacent New Year's Shop and Caotou Shop, both of which are named under Chen Ping'an's name. The old clerks in the two time-honored shops have gone out of business, so they have to hire other clerks. She doesn't dare to choose some slippery people.
So he asked the people at his sword shop to recommend some women and girls with good natures but clever hands and feet to help take care of the business.
The New Year's Eve shop continues to sell all kinds of cakes and snacks, while the Caotou shop continues to sell miscellaneous items, such as antiques, ancient instruments, calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of things.
When Ruan Xiu is not busy at the sword shop, she will lie on the counter of a certain shop, lost in thought. Most of the time, most of the day will pass by like this. She is not required to solicit business anyway, and she is not good at bargaining with others. In fact,
Both of these shops belong to Chen Pingan's family. The girl in Tsing Yi wishes that a piece of pastry could be sold for a sky-high price of several taels of silver. However, she is a simple-minded girl after all. She is not embarrassed to do so. She is just hesitant to help him find someone who knows how to watch people's emotions.
She helps the shop make more money, but she is also afraid that such a person will not like him when he returns to his hometown.
Because he is not that kind of person.
Even pastries are not that greedy of a girl, so her originally round chin gradually became a bit pointy.
Like a lotus showing its sharp corners, it is fresh and moving.
Ruan Qiong mentioned it several times. If she felt that the town was too boring, she could go to Hengshan Peak of Shenxiu Mountain for a walk. The scenery was not bad. But the girl could not bring herself to do it and kept procrastinating.
Alas, Ruan Qiong gave up. But the more confused the girl became, the more concentrated she became when forging a sword, and her mind was full of energy, and her realm was rising rapidly. This made Ruan Qiong feel relieved, since practicing is a good thing.
, he won’t point fingers.
Because the grave of an ordinary person has long been covered with green grass, and even the hair of his descendants has turned gray, but a person of the same age who was once an accomplished practitioner is still as beautiful as a woman.
Ruan Xiu has been even more upset in the past two days, because every time she comes to the shop to relax, someone will disturb her.
He was a young man with a scarlet flute on his waist. He was dressed in brocade and had a purple gold crown on his head. He looked very arrogant. However, she had forgotten what he looked like, or she had never seen him seriously.
Because Ruan Xiu has seen too many people like this since she was young. Because her father is Ruan Qiong, who is not only a great monk of Fengxue Temple, but also the leading swordsmith in Dongbaopingzhou.
But after arriving here, Ruan Qiong told her that he had already said hello to the Dali court. Within Jiazi, Dali could not publicize it to the outside world and use his golden sign of Ruan Qiong to plan anything. Once Ruan Qiong was used by him,
Qiong discovered that the discussion was negotiable, but Ruan Qiong would not guarantee the outcome. After Ruan Qiong fell into the territory of Dali under the cave world, the fighting not only left the monks around him with liver and gallbladders, but in fact even the Dali court and
The forces further up the mountain have all experienced the temper of the sage Master Ruan. No one is willing to risk their lives to reason with Ruan Qiong. Those who dare to do so will either be beaten to death by Master Ruan on their own territory, or they will be bullied.
Enter the underworld and beat him to death openly.
There is no need for Ruan Qiong to say it directly. The handful of real big shots in Da Li actually knew very well that the true villain of this saint who broke away from the Fengxue Temple and established his own sect was his daughter who was recognized as having great talent.
.If it weren’t for Ruan Xiu, Ruan Qiong would never have left Fengxue Temple and taken over Lizhu Cave from Qi Jingchun, because at that time no one would regard being in charge of this small cave as a good job.
The harmonious state is suppressed by the way of heaven, and it is the ultimate to be able to maintain the state without falling and the body without decay.
Of course, Qi Jingchun is an exception, a big surprise.
Since Ruan Qiong's lifeline is his daughter, Da Li is now deliberately helping to keep it secret and will never dare to mention Ruan Xiu's name to the public.
So some guy who didn't know what was going on accidentally wandered into the grass-top shop in Qilong Lane of the small town. When he saw the girl with the ponytail, he was immediately shocked. He thought he was just a girl from a shop, and his identity was too much.
He's not much higher. With his appearance, conversation, and background, isn't it possible that he can easily make her fall in love with him at first sight and willingly become a slave with red sleeves that add fragrance, a maid with bare hands?
But after all, he has a family mission and came here to buy mountains. Moreover, the town is now hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Not to mention the aloof and grumpy military sage, people from the Dali Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian are also there. It is said that even the county magistrate is there.
The proud disciple of Grand Master Da Li, so this young master obeyed the instructions of his father and went to a small town and behaved with his tail between his legs. If he really got into trouble, his family would not even collect corpses. So he would never dare to do what he did under his own jurisdiction.
He dares to do such random things in the country, and besides, robbing civilian girls and so on, even though he is familiar with what he does, it is really boring.
This self-proclaimed romantic young man probably never imagined that that silly-looking lazy girl was actually named Ruan.
He crossed the threshold again today, pretending to select his favorite items from the rows of treasure racks, and then pretended to bargain with a woman. Finally, he smiled and said hello to the girl in Tsing Yi who looked like a little shopkeeper, and raised his hand gently.
The attractive writing stone in his hand was hand-high and had the shape of a beautiful woman's waist. It was priced at thirty taels of silver. He asked the girl if it could be cheaper. Thirty taels of silver was too expensive.
In fact, to him, what does thirty taels of gold mean?
Ruan Xiu didn't even raise his head and said calmly: "No."
The man pretended to be cool and shrugged, saying that he had bought the stone. Finally, he picked two more items and asked the girl that after buying so many things, they should be cheaper, right? And since he wanted to live in the town permanently, he would definitely be a repeat customer.
Yes, so I would frequent the business... Anyway, there was a lot of verbosity. Ruan Xiu at the counter felt upset, but she still didn't raise her head and said calmly: "You can buy things, just pay according to the price, don't talk.
"
That young master smiled instead of being angry. Hey, couldn't you tell, he was still a rouge horse with a chaste temperament?
He was really not angry, he just felt that his desire to win was aroused. The purchase of the mountain was already a done deal, and he was just showing off for a wealthy family, so why not have some harmless fun? So he asked
After the woman packed the three things, before leaving, she said with a smile: "Girl, I will come again tomorrow."
Ruan Xiu finally raised her head and looked at him for the first time, "Don't come here again."
The young man stared at the girl with interest. It was a face that he liked more and more the more he looked at it. It was definitely not comparable to the vulgar faces at home, so he smiled and said: "Why?"
Ruan Xiu's face was calm, "This shop is opened by my... friend, so I can decide which guests are welcome to come in and which guests are not welcome to be an eyesore."
The man pointed at his nose and his smile grew wider, "I am an eyesore? Where do you start talking about this, girl?"
Ruan Xiu lay down on the counter table again and waved her hand, "Go away, I don't want to talk to people like you."
Standing outside the shop was a tall, muscular man with a displeased and angry face, looking coldly at the ungrateful city girl.
The young man smiled and waved to the guard, telling him not to scare his plate of food. After paying the bill, he walked towards the door without forgetting to look back and say: "See you tomorrow."
Ruan Xiu sighed, stood up, walked around the counter, and said to the guy who had just stepped over the threshold and turned around to stand, "I advise you to listen to what others say in the future."
The young man looked at the girl's stunning and graceful figure and sighed that he was really lucky this time.
As for what the girl said, he naturally heard it, but he didn't pay attention to it, let alone take it seriously.
The guard's body suddenly tensed up, and his scalp was numb, like a ray on his back. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw the girl in green and his young master rushing towards the wall opposite the Dragon Riding Alley.
He watched helplessly as the young master held his forehead with the girl's hand, and finally his entire head and back were embedded in the wall.
The young man lost consciousness instantly, bleeding from all his orifices, and a huge spider web was ripped out of the wall behind him.
The girl said to the man who rolled his eyes and fainted: "I will listen to my advice in the future. Do you understand? Huh? Still not?"
The girl raised her leg high and kicked out quickly.
The extremely pitiful young master's body and the wall were dented together, which was very miserable.
The girl retracted her legs, turned around and walked towards the shop, and said to the tall servant who did not dare to move at all: "When you carry him away, remember to repair the wall."
The servant who was in the fifth level of martial arts swallowed his saliva and did not dare to say even a harsh word.
He is just a personal guard on the surface, the real pillar, and is worshiped by a family with a foreign surname. Now he is just like many forces. He went to the mountains and followed behind the Minister of Rites of Dali and Mr. Qingwu, the Qintian Supervisor.
To maintain a relationship with the Da Li court, it was also a symbolic visit to the two mountains purchased with huge sums of money.
It’s not that fifth-level warriors are bad on the street and can be bullied by anyone, but the attack of this ponytail girl is too terrifying.
You must know that your young master has already reached the fourth floor. Although he is not as good as the real geniuses of the Immortal Family Mansion, as long as he can finally reach the fifth floor, it is equivalent to possessing the qualifications to dominate. After all, in a country where martial arts are produced in large numbers,
On the Li territory, Qi practitioners are much more popular than warriors. Therefore, those two hills will be the place where my son will thrive.
The fifth-level martial artist did not bother to announce his family name, so as to frighten the ruthless girl, and quickly flew to the wall opposite the alley. After a moment, the man with red eyes suddenly turned around, his face was ashen, and he cursed: "Little bitch
!Do you know that you have destroyed the foundation of my young master’s cultivation?!"
Ruan Xiu had already walked into the shop. Hearing this, he stopped but did not turn around. He just turned around and said, "I know, I deliberately didn't kill him so he could suffer the consequences."
That warrior is almost going crazy. Isn't this little girl a lunatic with a broken brain?
The girl smiled and said, "You scold me, but I won't argue with you, because I will settle accounts with your family. According to your routine, you usually beat the younger ones and get the older ones, so you can call that guy's elder friend
Let them come over and cause trouble for me. Don't worry, I'll wait for you here and won't go anywhere. If no one comes to seek revenge or apologize, make an agreement in advance and don't take it for granted.
Didn't happen."
The girl thought for a while, "If your ancestors or family helpers can really defeat me, then I will also move my father out. There is no other way, I only have this one relative."
The girl suddenly became happy for no apparent reason. She smiled so much that she had to purse her lips to prevent herself from appearing so happy.
Now she seems to have an extra friend, the owner of this shop.
The warrior looked at the girl's "weird" smile with dumbfounded eyes, and was sure that she was really crazy.
He did not dare to stay too long. The top priority was to preserve his young master's cultivation as much as possible. He carried his young master on his back and ran away in Qilong Lane. He could become a personal guard for important people. After all, he was not a fool. He ran a distance
After that, he immediately shouted loudly to someone: "My young master is from the Chu family in Fengcheng, and he is your distinguished guest from Dali! My ancestor is the deputy sect leader of Raoling Mountain!"
But nothing happened.
This warrior's heart suddenly felt cold and his body was filled with chills.
Those Da Li spies lurking in the dark chose not to save them!
This is absolutely unreasonable and against the rules!
Warriors are like mourning their heirs. Did their son get into trouble with something he shouldn't mess with? But didn't the ancestors clearly say that apart from the two saints, the local gangsters who have been entrenched in the small town for generations have not achieved much? Why is Xiao Xiao one
A girl from a shop with such amazing strength?
In the distance, a young man sat quietly on the wall that obscured his vision, holding his cheek with one hand. After yawning, he sneered: "I, Da Li, really think I am afraid of you, a Fengcheng Chu family."
Finally, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the shop. The girl behind the counter could no longer be seen. He chuckled and said, "She is indeed the most talkative girl in the legendary Fengxue Temple."
He quickly put away his smile and continued to monitor the surroundings. If there was any sign of trouble, he had the power to mobilize all the nearby Dali soldiers to kill people regardless of the cost or consequences, no matter who the opponent was.
But at the same time, he could also guess that this turmoil would not end here, and might involve His Majesty the Emperor, and of course the saint Ruan Qiong. Because the Fengcheng Chu family could take this matter to the forefront and make a big deal out of it.
Articles, using the situation and public opinion to oppress the Dali court. Dali is now at its peak, and is not afraid of anything. It only attaches great importance to the clear opinions of scholars. This is the case for both the late emperor and the current majesty, who treat and tolerate scholars very favorably.
The women and girls in the shop were all so frightened that they dared not breathe. Who would have thought that Xiuxiu, a girl who is usually so good-tempered, would have such a side? She would beat someone half to death with just one move?
The girl lay on the counter and continued to be in a daze.
She suddenly remembered something, took out a small stone from the counter drawer, and placed it on the table. Then the girl changed her posture, put her cheek on the table, stretched out her fingers and gently moved the stone, watching it roll around.
