There is nothing special about this garden. The only thing that stands out is the thick pecan tree in the courtyard.
"Huh...huh..."
Click, click.
At this moment, the sounds of heavy breathing and the cracking of walnuts came one after another.
Xia Houzhi sat in the shade, folding her long legs, sipping tribute tea and admiring the heroic appearance of his cronies carrying iron weights and struggling to climb trees.
Behind her stood a palace maid in a yellow dress, holding a handful of pecan nuts and eating them happily.
"To guess what I'm thinking, you need to use your brain. Since you don't have it, pick more to make up for it." She held the tea lid with her long fingers and scratched the edge.
To the side, he reminded me in a cold voice, "If you go faster, don't use your internal strength."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Listening to those two energetic responses, she felt her head hurt even more.
Out of sight and out of mind, he stood up and walked outside the garden.
The girl in the yellow shirt quickly stuffed the remaining nuts into her mouth, stuck out her tongue at the two people on the tree, lifted up her skirt, and hurriedly caught up.
"Master, please calm down. Do you have any special tasks? Why don't you leave it to me?"
"If you want to win a person's favor and make him let down his guard, what is the first step?" She was born noble, but she really didn't understand this matter.
"Huh?" Huang Xing tilted his head, not knowing what he thought of, and showed a clear expression, "I think it's natural to give something, and it doesn't have to be too expensive. The important thing is that it's just right, so that the other party will be less likely to refuse.
, once you accept it, it will be easy to handle later!”
Xiahou Zhi stroked her smooth chin, pondered for a moment, and said happily: "It makes sense. After the matter is completed, I will reward you with grapes from the Western Regions."
"Thank you, Master!"
Zhenfeng Pavilion.
"I wonder what you want to buy, sir, for your own use or as a gift? Our store has a wide range of varieties and has everything you need. There is nothing you can't think of. I would like to recommend a few to you first..."
Although the master and servant traveled lightly, the waiter was such a fine person that he could tell at a glance that he was either rich or noble.
"No."
Xia Houzhi flicked her folding fan to block the other party's overly enthusiastic approach.
The young man was quite discerning, so he immediately took two steps back and said politely: "Then please help yourself. If you need anything, I'll call you at any time."
The interior of the pavilion is full of dazzling things, and the goods are all displayed on wooden shelves for a clear view.
Compared with those shops that hide their mysteries, this sales method is extraordinarily honest and reassuring. It is worthy of being one of the most famous shops in the capital.
After wandering around for a while, Huang Weng couldn't help but asked curiously: "Master, tell me... they are placed in such a big way, aren't they afraid of being bumped by guests, or being accidentally broken?"
Xia Houzhi quickly closed the folding fan and nodded in the direction of the door with her fan head.
There were two sturdy men standing there.
"Your worries are the shopkeeper's expectations."
While joking, she had already roughly scanned the goods.
In fact, they are not very eye-catching, except for the one piece of paper that is in pretty good condition.
The mutton-fat jade is dark in color and the carvings are not the usual auspicious clouds or beasts, but two circling geese.
The wild goose is the symbol of Dali Temple, and this bird is quite meaningful and colorful.
"Just this."
"Come on!"
Shopkeeper Liu of Zhenfeng Pavilion approached with a smile. Just as he was about to pack the box, a delicate hand pressed on it.
"Uh, I'm sorry, it's this young master who..."
Before he finished speaking, a banknote suddenly appeared.
"I like it, you can choose another one!"
Xia Houzhi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the owner of the hand.
