After setting off the river lanterns, the two walked back and passed by a stall selling jewelry. Mingruo noticed the hairpin on the silk cloth at a glance. It was an agate hairpin. The material was actually very ordinary. But the workmanship was quite detailed.
The whole hairpin is made of white agate, and the head of the hairpin has a pretty red color and is carved into two plum blossoms, which looks very delicate.
When Mingruo picked up the hairpin, Si Haochen asked, "How much does it cost?"
"It only costs two taels of silver." The vendor immediately said, "This lady will definitely look good wearing it."
Si Haochen paid the money and put the hairpin directly on Mingruo. Mingruo had been using one hairpin to tie a princess's head recently, so wearing two hairpins seemed a bit much.
Si Haochen complained: "Can't you tie your hair properly?"
Mingruo stared with big innocent eyes and said, "Isn't this Wan?"
Ming Ruo is thinking about whether she should comb her hair into a high ponytail tomorrow to prove that she has indeed tied her hair well.
"You are not like this in the mansion."
"That way...I won't..." Those buns were made by Zisu and the others, and she really couldn't get them done.
"Don't women know it all?"
"Then maybe...I'm not a woman..." Mingruo shrugged helplessly. Anyway, she didn't know how to do it and didn't want to learn it, just like Jiang Zi.
"..." Si Haochen was also speechless.
After leaving Jiangnan, the places they passed were not so prosperous and prosperous. Therefore, it was not possible to encounter a place to stay every day. Sometimes it took a day or two to find a town. After another five days of traveling, they finally arrived.
Southern Yunnan.
According to the information I heard, the Valley of Immortal Medicine is located in a mountain in southern Yunnan. Someone needs to guide the way, otherwise you will get lost in the mountain and be unable to get out.
Mingruo looked at the small town outside the carriage. The town also had small bridges and flowing water, but it was different from Jiangnan. The houses here were made of bamboo and wood. People walking on the street, both men and women, wore brightly colored clothes, and they also liked to use beautiful feathers.
decorate.
This time they stayed at the inn, but they did not live with other guests, but lived in a separate small courtyard in the backyard. As soon as they entered the room, Linglong flew around the room, changing her decadent look of pretending to be dead every day.
, it seems to like it here very much.
"Go out and play, be careful not to get eaten by the birds." Mingruo opened the window and let Linglong fly out.
Linglong rolled her eyes: Birds don't dare to eat me! I'm poisonous, extremely poisonous!
Mingruo asked for two buckets of hot water, but he felt that the bathtub in the inn was not clean, so he decided to just wipe himself. It is very warm here, and the current temperature is like autumn in the imperial capital. After Mingruo finished washing, it was time for lunch
It was still early, so I rested in the room.
We had lunch in the small courtyard, and the waiter brought the food in a food box. The food here is salty and spicy, and they like to use sausages, bacon, and chopped peppers in the dishes. If Ming is a doctor, he can't accept it in every dish.
Pickled food appeared. I didn't eat much food and drank two bowls of mushroom soup. Si Haochen obviously didn't like such strong dishes, so he ate it with mushroom soup.
"We are going into the mountains tomorrow and we cannot take a carriage." Si Haochen wiped his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, "Think about what you want to buy, and we will go shopping on the street later." Along the way, Si Haochen discovered that,
Many of the things Mingruo brings are very practical.
"Okay." Mingruo nodded.
Mingruo took a nap, woke up and went out shopping with Si Haochen. This time she still brought her bag-carrying boy - Fifteen.
The commercial street here is a bit like a market, selling everything. Mingruo saw people wearing colorful clothes selling peacocks and golden monkeys.
Mingruo looked at the beautiful tail feathers of the peacock and silently complained in his heart - these are all wild animals, how can they be bought and sold at will! If there is no buying and selling, there will be no harm. Understand it!
"It's inconvenient to take them with you when you go out. If you want, I'll have two of them sent home for you to keep and play with." Si Haochen said to Mingruo.
"Ah...are you talking about raising peacocks?" Mingruo looked at Si Haochen.
"You can take their feathers if you want..." Protecting wild animals doesn't exist at all in Si Haochen's opinion.
"No... no need..." Mingruo shook his head quickly.
"Heh." Si Haochen chuckled, "If you don't want it, just buy something else."
"good."
Hearing that he was going to the mountains tomorrow, Mingruo bought himself a pair of deerskin boots. Then he went to the drugstore to buy some medicinal materials. He planned to go back and prepare some medicinal powder to repel poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and make sachets for everyone to wear. Thinking of the sachets,
Go to the embroidery shop quickly and buy some purses.
"How many people will enter the mountain tomorrow?" Mingruo asked.
"Ten."
"Shopkeeper, give me ten purses. They don't need to be too delicate, but they should be larger and more durable." Mingruo said her request.
The shopkeeper brought many purses that met the requirements for Mingruo to choose from. Except that the color was too bright, there was nothing wrong with it. Mingruo chose a dark green one embroidered with cloud patterns for Si Haochen, and he chose a moon white one embroidered with bamboo leaves.
Yes, just take the rest and pay quickly.
"The things I want to buy are all here." Mingruo saw that she had already carried a lot of fifteen large and small bags.
"Then go back." Si Haochen didn't like shopping because there were too many people.
"Okay." Mingruo patted his head, "Should we buy some water bags?"
"Um."
Back in the small courtyard of the inn, Mingruo started to prepare the medicine. He was too lazy to pound it with a pestle, so he threw it directly into the medical system according to the proportion. After a few minutes, he got a large bag of herbal powder and divided the powder into ten purses. Mingruo was busy with his work.
At that time, Linglong kept falling on the back of her hand.
Linglong: Mom must have thought I was useless, so she prepared these snake and insect repellent powders. Shiitake mushrooms... Lanshou... 嘘嘤嘤!
Mingruo divided the dried meat and dried meat in the bag into ten portions again. She first took out the portion for Si Haochen alone, and gave the rest to Shi Shi and asked him to share it with everyone. Anyway, she couldn't find it.
Where are those secret guards?
Si Haochen played with the purse in his hand, and it smelled of fresh medicine. Although it was not made by his princess, he had seen those purses, and it was obvious that the most beautiful ones were left to him.
"Can you embroider purses?" Si Haochen suddenly asked.
"No." Mingruo didn't know how to do it himself, so he searched the memory of the original owner and found that he had learned the art of female prostitutes, but his craftsmanship was not very good.
"I see you are very good at sewing skin and flesh." You can sew such a hideous and terrifying wound smoothly, how could you not make a purse?
Mingruo took out her purse and looked through it, "If there is no need for embroidery, this bag alone can be sewn." She was so honest.
"Go back and sew one for me using Liuguang Brocade."
"Oh." Although Mingruo has never seen Liuguang Brocade, it sounds like it is very beautiful, so there is no need to embroider it.
Early the next morning, they set out into the mountains. The person who led them was said to be an outer disciple of the Immortal Medical Valley. He was wearing a blue-gray fine cloth robe, which looked a bit like a Taoist robe from a distance.
