Lin Jinrong asked Tao Fengtang: "Cousin, will we go to the market today?"
Tao Fengtang smiled and said: "It's just a stroll on the street. There are too many people in the market, so it's not suitable for you to go."
Lin Jinrong was puzzled: "Why?"
Tao Fengxiang made a fierce expression at her and threatened: "The barbarians in Da Rong are savage. There are also evil people who were exiled from the army and exiled as slaves. They have tattoos on their faces. If they see a girl like you, they won't blink."
Aren't you afraid that I'll chase you down two streets and expose you?"
Lin Jinrong didn't believe it: "If it's so bad, how could my cousin know?"
"..." Tao Fengxiang was speechless for a moment, and then said confidently: "I wore men's clothes and went with my father and elder brother. There were more than ten boys around me taking care of things, so naturally I wasn't afraid."
Lin Jinrong said with envy: "It's great. I thought I would go to Qingzhou earlier to gain experience, but now it seems I may never have this opportunity in my life. Do you know if I will have a chance to come to Qingzhou in the future?"
He glanced at Tao Fengtang with a pitiful look on his face.
Tao Fengtang was soft-hearted and whispered: "Don't listen to your third cousin's nonsense. She is deliberately scaring you. Although there are not many women in the market, there are not none. I just can't go this time. I have to take care of you and take care of you."
Wu Xiang, I can’t take care of you. Let’s wait for another day.”
Who knows how many days Mrs. Tao will stay here in the future? She will have to attend Lin Yizhi's wedding later, so it is most realistic to seize the opportunity now. Lin Jinrong took Tao Fengxiang's hand and begged in a low voice: "Third cousin
…”
Tao Fengxiang originally wanted to go to the interview room, but was afraid of being scolded, so he just said: "Don't ask me, my words are useless. Anyway, I don't talk nonsense."
Lin Jinrong's expression became more and more pitiful: "Cousin, when you went to my house last year, you promised to owe me a request in the future. Do you still remember?" At that time, Tao Fengtang secretly brought a gift to Lin Jinyin and asked her and Lin Jinyin
Said, she took the opportunity to make a small request, now is the time to use it.
Tao Fengxiang immediately said curiously: "What's the matter? What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
Tao Fengtang's face turned red, she patted her sister lightly and said, "Go out first, and we'll talk about it later." After that, he took the lead and went forward.
Tao Fengxiang laughed: "Brother, I agreed. Tell me, what exactly is it? There are benefits to it."
Lin Jinrong shook his head gently: "It's nothing." Only she, Lin Jinyin and Tao Fengtang knew about those things, so they didn't tell others.
"Tch! Stingy!" Tao Fengxiang was not angry and pinched her face gently: "The handkerchief you embroidered is beautiful. If you make two more for me, I won't argue with you."
"Don't say two yuan, just five yuan. I'll have someone bring it to you when I get back to do it." Lin Jinrong squeezed her cousin's hand and walked out of the second door with a smile.
The boys had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When they saw the two of them finally coming out, Tao Fengju pretended to be mature and sighed: "Girls are troublesome. It takes so long to go out." In a blink of an eye, it didn't matter.
Mother Gong, who was following behind, and Mother Song, who was beside Wu, stopped talking and whispered: "It also attracted two troublesome insects."
Tao Fengtang scolded: "If you keep talking nonsense, you can stay. I won't miss you."
As his eldest brother was extremely prestigious, Tao Fengju did not dare to reply. He shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything again.
Lin Shenzhi looked at Tao Fengju with wide eyes, and whispered in an extremely worried and aggrieved voice: "Second cousin, do you also find us annoying?"
Tao Fengju's face immediately turned red, and he denied it: "How can it be true? Otherwise I wouldn't pull my pony for you to ride, or agree to take you fishing. I mean, mothers love to be nosy and disturb us.
, influence me to take you to have fun."
Lin Shenzhi became happy: "Second cousin, you are so kind, I like you the most."
Tao Fengju's face turned redder and redder.
"Let's go! If you don't leave, it will be too late." The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When Wu Xiang heard what Lin Shenzhi said, he thought that Lin Jinrong had someone return his book last night. He clearly hadn't read the book.
He didn't say what books he wanted to borrow, but suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he headed outside immediately.
Lin Shiquan thought for a while, then rode up to catch up with him. The two exchanged a few words before Wu Xiang slowed down.
Qingzhou is close to Darong, with two government-run and private-run forays. The government-run foray is located in the city. The government of this dynasty used silk and silk silk in exchange for camels, horses, cattle, sheep, jade, carpets, and licorice from Darong.
and other items, and exchanged fragrant medicine, enamel utensils, ginger, cinnamon and other items for Dayong's beeswax, hair brown, cistanche, musk navel, antelope, Bupleurum, safflower, feathers, sand and other items.
These materials are controlled by the government and are not allowed to be traded by the public. But how can these government-run things be used by the world? With profit in mind, countless people take risks and set up a private market to trade secretly. Not only do they trade with the people
Things in the market are also traded in government-run things, and there is endless private smuggling. This is the origin of the private market. It is a pity that the private market has no platform and is an invisible existence. Without the introduction of acquaintances, there is no way to do business.
"Actually, they are hidden in the government agencies. If you look at these people, they seem to be serious and law-abiding on the surface. In fact, they are indispensable for doing these things in private!" Tao Fengxiang held Lin Jinrong tightly.
With his arms, he pointed to the shops on both sides that he was most familiar with and interested in, "This shop's jade is good, this shop has glassware, this shop secretly sells coral and amber, ah, by the way, this shop sells spices."
Not bad!"
Lin Jinrong struggled to write down the information he heard from the Tao brothers and sisters, including pearl shells, tortoise shells, rhinoceros elephants, iron, leather, coral, amber, agate, frankincense, woody incense, stone resin, sulfur, agarwood and so on.
They were all government camps, so these things were a little strange and a little familiar to her. After reading so many things in one breath, it was really difficult to write them all down.
Lin Shiquan saw this, and while Tao Fengxiang lowered his head to look at a string of beeswax bracelets, he leaned over and whispered: "Fourth sister, if you can't remember it, don't remember it. I've remembered some, and I'll beg them when I get back."
Write one to me and I will always remember it." After saying that, he went to pester Tao Fengtang and asked questions. He curiously asked the merchant to see this and that. He was extremely shameless and was not afraid that others would find him annoying.
.
Sure enough, more people have more power. It is indeed easier for Lin Shiquan to inquire about these things than himself, and others will not deal with him. Lin Jinrong breathed a sigh of relief and began to recall what things the government had let go of back then. After thinking about it, he only remembered
Woody incense, stone resin, sulfur, agarwood, cloves, pepper and other substances are allowed. I heard that there are also grain sellers, but I don’t know where they are?
While she was deep in thought, Tao Fengxiang pulled her and showed her a whole box of glazed hairpins displayed by the store: "Look at this, the price is much cheaper than elsewhere. Why don't you buy some and give them away?"
When I went out, I naturally had to prepare some souvenirs. Lin Jinrong lowered his head to choose a hairpin, but Tao Fengxiang also took a fancy to a set of colored glaze cups and shouted at the store to take them down and take a look.
Wu Xiang wandered around for a while, came over and stood next to Lin Jinrong, and said: "Fourth sister, help me pick a few branches. I will give them to my mother and aunt, as well as my sister-in-law and cousins."
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly, and generously picked out a few branches according to his own preferences: "Brother Wu, can you take a look at this?"
Wu Xiang ordered someone to wrap it up without even looking at it: "I trust your vision. I have never seen you dressed ugly."
Lin Jinrong smiled and said nothing, and continued to choose hairpins.
Seeing that she didn't answer, and spoke calmly, Wu Xiang couldn't help but feel hesitant and entangled. Among the girls he knew well, apart from Yang Mo, he had the best rapport with Lin Jinrong, especially Chui Xun, who seemed to be a close friend.
There are many skills in sharing tea that he wants to discuss with her. He wants to tell Lin Jinrong that he is only targeting Mr. Lin San, not the rest of them, everyone is different, but when the words come to his mouth, he can't say it.
.
After hesitating for a long time, he picked out a blue glazed hairpin from the box and handed it to Lin Jinrong to look at. He smiled and said, "This sapphire blue one is most suitable for my aunt." He also picked out a green one like emerald: "This one is as good as yours."
The clothes on her body match.”
Lin Jinrong was wearing a jade-colored brocade jacket and an emerald green long skirt today. The colors were the same, but she was still young and had no use for this. She also didn't save face for Wu Xiang, so she simply shook her head: "This is not suitable.
I am too old-fashioned, so I can give it to my grandmother."
Mother Gong looked on, smiled slightly, and continued chatting with Mother Song.
As expected, he was so offended that Wu Xiang couldn't help but feel embarrassed and didn't know how to continue the conversation.
But someone next to me heard a slightly sarcastic smile: "Hey, when did Second Young Master Wu change his profession to selling hairpins?"
When Lin Jinrong heard this voice, her whole body tensed up, and she turned around suddenly. Sure enough, she saw Lu Yan leading Changshou, standing at the door of the shop with a faint smile, his eyes slightly sarcastic, looking back and forth between her and Wu Xiang.
He was wandering around. Wasn't this person first in Taiming Mansion and then sent home by Lin Yuzhen? Why did he come here? He was just a ghost. Lin Jinrong turned back indifferently and didn't look at him. It was Gong's mother.
Li Zhi and Li Zhi both shouted in surprise: "Master Biao, why are you here?"
Wu Xiang also opened his mouth in surprise, pointed at Lu Mian and said silently: "You, why are you here?"
"You can come, but I can't come?" Lu Yan smiled slightly and nodded towards Gong's mother and Li Zhi, flicked his robe, walked towards Lin Jinrong, gently fiddled with the glazed hairpin in front of her a few times, and took back his hand with disdain: "I
What do you think it is? It's worth your time here. There is something better than this ahead."
Lin Jinrong got angry when she saw him. She really couldn't understand how there could be such a thick-skinned person in this world. He knew that he hated him, but he still wanted to get close to him. With a cold face, he grabbed the green hairpin and other
Ji Zhi said loudly: "Shopkeeper, help me wrap this up. I want it all."
Although she wore a veil, Lu Yan instinctively felt her coldness and rejection, and stopped talking to her. He turned back and smiled with Wu Xiang: "I saw Ran Mo outside, so I walked in, and sure enough I saw you.
Selling hairpins here." With a flick of his robe sleeves, he swept down the box of glazed hairpins in front of Lin Jinrong without leaving a trace. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at Qidian ()
