Chapter 52: God's remembrance of all birds and land scenes will enter the realm of qi and blood
It started to drizzle again.
Silky drizzle fell from the sky, and the rain curtains were dense, covering the bustling Taixuanjing with a layer of white gauze like cicada wings.
The breeze is drifting and lingering, and the street is getting colder. It falls on the trees along the way, seeming to urge the leaves on the trees to wither earlier.
Many people had probably figured out from the sky that it was going to rain, so they didn't forget to bring an umbrella with them when they went out. They all held oiled paper umbrellas in their hands and walked hurriedly in the streets.
Lu Jing didn't have an umbrella, but now Qiu Yu was no longer as vicious as before because of his martial arts cultivation.
As he walked on the street, even though his clothes were soaked, he didn't feel much chill.
He walked for a full quarter of an hour.
Because the academy is located in the center of the huge Taixuan Capital, the surrounding area, except Taixuan Palace, is filled with residences of noble people.
Even the surrounding cloth shops looked very luxurious. Lu Jing also asked two or three of them, but the prices of cloth in these shops made him astonished.
"Taixuanjing is a prosperous scene. One piece of cloth in these cloth shops and ready-to-wear shops is enough for Qingyue and I to live for a long time.
I just don’t know if ordinary people outside the prosperous age of Taixuanjing are as happy and peaceful as this."
Lu Jing walked along and finally saw an ordinary cloth shop in an alley.
"The most important place in Taixuanjing, the cloth village here is ordinary, if not more ordinary.
I wonder if Qingyue will like the ingredients in this shop."
Lu Jing walked into this shop with Qing Yue in mind.
This fabric shop is very spacious and equipped with many black wooden shelves.
This is probably because the black wooden frame will not take away the brilliance of the fabric itself. Many pieces of fabric on the wooden frame look very beautiful.
For a moment, Lu Jing was dazzled and didn't know what to choose.
He originally wanted to ask someone, but the door of this fabric shop was open, but there was no one inside, which made Lu Jing even more helpless.
"There are also ready-to-wear garments...and fabrics..."
Lu Jing looked around carefully, but still felt a little confused.
At this moment, there was a sound outside the door.
Lu Jing subconsciously turned around and saw a young girl walking in outside the gate of Buzhuang.
This girl seems to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she can be called slim, but her face is not outstanding. There is a small mole on the right eyebrow, which adds a bit of different charm.
"Is she the girl from this village?" Lu Jing thought to himself, but saw that the girl just glanced at him and started to pick up fabrics and ready-made clothes in this cloth store.
"This store owner is too generous."
Lu Jing shook his head and looked carefully for a long time, but still couldn't make up his mind. He was thinking about whether to bring Qing Yue over next time.
Suddenly a voice came to my ears.
"Sir, do you want to pick out some fabrics?"
Lu Jing turned around and saw that the girl who had just walked in was speaking.
The girl was wearing a long blue dress, simple yet elegant.
Only different from her appearance, the girl's voice is quite pleasant, like a ray of warm spring breeze, making people feel that the sky is vast, the clouds are comfortable, and the sea is calm.
"Excuse me, miss, I was going to choose some fabrics, but I didn't realize until I entered this shop that there were so many fabrics.
I don’t know what kind of fabric is good-looking to make clothes.”
Lu Jing spoke in a calm and leisurely manner, with a slight smile on his face. At first glance, he seemed to be a polite person.
The girl took a careful look at Lu Jing, then quickly turned her head and asked, "Looking at your hesitation, the person you want to give to is probably a woman.
I don’t know how old the woman is and whether she is married?”
Lu Jing's face showed confusion.
The woman said: "Ordinary people don't need to be too particular, but since you want to use it to give gifts, you must be more careful.
Girls aged 18 or 19 should dress like girls. If they are married sisters, they should be more dignified.
If you give me trouble, they may not like it."
"She actually has a lot of particularities." Lu Jing thought for a while and said calmly: "She has not been married yet and is not yet eighteen years old. She usually likes blue floral skirts. What material do you think I should choose?"
"Seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue floral dress?"
The girl turned her head and thought for a while, then looked around for a while, then walked towards the shelf not far away.
"Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the weather has become colder, and many materials such as floral, plain yarn, cloud and mist silk, woven fabrics, etc. are no longer suitable to wear.
On the contrary, the rain silk brocade, snow satin, and floral silk damask produced in Liuqing Mansion are more suitable. With a layer of warm velvet lined inside, it can be worn even in early winter."
This girl seems to know these fabrics very well, and she probably often visits these fabric shops on weekdays.
When Lu Jing heard these many words, he couldn't help but opened his mouth and nodded immediately.
The girl added: "Since I like blue floral skirts, I will make a beautiful blue silk embroidered long skirt and wear it with a moire blouse. If I am rich, I can also make a soft fur brocade cloak. In autumn,
It’s also great to wear when the sun gets windy.”
Lu Jing listened carefully and wrote down the many names in his mind.
While the two were talking.
Suddenly, a woman in her thirties or forties hurriedly walked in outside the door.
This woman's eyes were filled with curiosity and joy.
She entered the door and saw Lu Jing and the girl, and said quickly: "I've kept you two distinguished guests waiting for a long time. Today, the girl in the shop has a blind date. As a good deed, I gave her a day off. I went to see the new people on West Street."
The captured monster forgot the time and delayed the two distinguished guests."
The woman's eyes shone with a shrewd look: "I wonder what you two need?"
Lu Jing looked at the girl, and then followed the girl's words, and the cloth shop proprietress said a lot.
The next step is to choose the color, style and size.
"Just give me a rough idea of the size. The style you chose is loose, so even if it's a little bigger, it's still suitable."
Seeing that Lu Jing was having trouble with the size, the landlady reminded her: "If it fits you perfectly, it will be easy to change it in the future."
Lu Jing originally wanted to surprise Qing Yue, but when he heard the landlady say this, he subconsciously looked at the girl next to him.
The girl nodded to Lu Jing, and Lu Jing finally made his decision. Just as he was about to pay the down payment, the girl revealed some of the boss's thoughts in a few words, saving two or three taels of silver.
"After three days, the young master can come to the shop to pick it up. If it is inconvenient, I can send someone to deliver it to your house."
Lu Jing just said he would get it himself.
To his surprise, the girl had not bought any fabric to make clothes, so she left the cloth shop with him.
"I have to thank the girl today." Lu Jing thanked the girl.
The girl waved her hand gently and suddenly asked: "I just saw the young master on the street in front of the library.
Is the young master a student in the library?"
Lu Jing thought for a while, nodded and said, "I just went today, and I haven't learned anything yet."
The girl said in admiration: "I heard that those who can enter the library are all highly talented scholars. Sir, can I ask you a question?"
Lu Jing did not hesitate and replied: "Of course you can, but I am not very knowledgeable and my family background is not profound, so I may not be able to answer the girl."
"Just some principles of life."
The girl in blue clothes still looked calm, and her voice was much calmer.
"I have heard a legend. It is said that on the western sea, there is a divine bird with colorful feathers and shining wings.
That divine bird is noble and extraordinary, and its body is always shining brightly. All other birds in the world love and respect him."
"But this magical bird carries flowers and leaves in its mouth day after day, nurturing a very ordinary sparrow, year after year, day after day."
When the girl spoke, there was still some hesitation in her tone, and she finally continued: "Because of the magical bird, the sparrow's fur became more and more shining, golden lines appeared around its body, and it chirped more frequently.
Be a little more ethereal."
"But the problem is...the sparrow originally wanted to repay the kindness of the divine bird, thank him for his foolishness, and then go about his own trivial matters, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
But now I am bound by many shackles and I don’t know what to do.”
"Sir... what if you were that sparrow?"
There is deep meaning in the girl's words.
But in Lu Jing's eyes, this girl was an ordinary girl he met by chance, so he didn't think much about it.
He smiled softly and said: "The divine bird Enfanniao, this sparrow should naturally repay the favor. But now that the sparrow is restrained in a cage, if the cage is unbreakable, there is no need to feel too guilty. After all, repayment is not something that can be done.
.”
"If there is still a possibility of breaking this cage, we just need to work harder and break through all the shackles. One day there will always be a chance to repay the favor."
The girl may have thought that such an answer was too ordinary, so she frowned and lowered her head in thought.
At this moment, Lu Jing suddenly said: "Maybe... the kindness of this divine bird to the sparrow is not that profound.
The reason why the sparrow emits a crisp chirp and has a stunning appearance is because the sparrow itself is not ordinary."
"The sparrow feels that the divine bird is deeply indebted to it. Is it possible that... the divine bird is too bright and shining? The clouds become auspicious and sing in all directions. The sparrow looks up at the divine bird from below, exaggerating it.
The kindness?”
He spoke so casually, but when he heard it, a shock wave seemed to surge in the ears of the girl in blue, causing the girl to frown tightly and stand there with a look of doubt on her face.
Lu Jing whispered softly, but after he finished speaking, he smiled to himself, shook his head and said, "I'm just talking nonsense, girl, you don't need to think about it carefully. I still want to thank you for what happened today."
The girl was still thinking and did not raise her head to answer.
Lu Jing thought for a moment, waved to him again, and then walked into the rain.
He took about five or six steps when a girl's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Sir, what's your name?"
"Lu Jing."
"My name is... Lingque. The master helped me answer my questions today. I also thank him."
Lu Jing had already walked into the rain and never looked back. He just waved his hand, probably because he felt that such a thing was not worthy of the girl saying thank you to him.
The girl looked at Lu Jing walking into the rain, but her thoughts had already flown far away.
An old woman appeared beside her at some point, and she also looked in the direction where Lu Jing disappeared.
"With Lu Jing's knowledge... he can actually enter the academy."
The old woman sighed and said: "The old Duke has a good vision, but none of the unpopular bastards in other mansions have become successful.
The disciple of the library...even if the young lady has no choice but to match him, she is somewhat worthy of him."
The girl's face had some strange changes, revealing a decent face, but she remained silent.
The old woman on the side smiled and said: "Who do you think this young master Jing is going to give to when he is making clothes in the shop?
Miss, maybe some idler talked to him a few words and let him know that you like to wear these blue floral clothes."
The girl still didn't answer, wondering what she was thinking.
Lu Jing walked out of the alley and walked for a while.
When I raised my head, the fragrance of Miaomiao medicine hit my nostrils, and there were a few more big characters written on the plaque in front of my eyes.
Taihetang!
Lu Jing walked into the drug store. Soon after, he walked out of the drug store with many medicine bags in his hands.
"In two days at most, my bones will be as strong as a bell... By then, if I swallow the Ape Heart Pill, I will be able to break through the barrier in one fell swoop and achieve the Qi and Blood Realm!"
