Wei Shilei's brain was very smart. Of course, he couldn't forget it as soon as Deng Xian interrupted him, but his work was deeply influenced by Tang Shijin. He was the kind of person who insisted on big things, but was very tolerant on small things, and allowed them to joke and make trouble.
It all doesn't matter.
So when Deng Xian interrupted, he knew it was not a foreign invasion, so he ignored it.
He stayed in Zhezhou until June 11. Deng Xian came over and asked him: "Sir, aren't you going back to Minzhou?"
"It's almost done here. I'll be back in the next two days," Wei Shilei said, "What? Is there something wrong?"
Deng Xian said: "On the fifteenth day of every month, there is a small market on the edge of Dinghai County and Anhai County. It mainly sells foreign things. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Small market?" Wei Shilei thought for a while: "Why didn't you say that before?"
Deng Xian said: "Last month, last month, last month, last month... we were all on the boat on the fifteenth day, and on the fifteenth day above, I didn't know there was this market!"
"That's right." Wei Shilei said: "Where?"
Deng Xian said: "Foreigner Street."
That place was originally called Foreign Street, but later it became known as Foreign Street.
The word "foreigner" was newly coined from Minzhou in recent years. It refers to people who came from the ocean, so they are called foreigners.
But in fact, not many real foreigners know about Foreigner Street, and not many go there. They are mainly locals. Because most of the goods traded are imported, some people are attracted to go there frequently.
Deng Xian said: "I heard that not only can you buy and sell things there, but you can also inquire about things and order things. For example, if you want to order any sandalwood, cardamom, or Sumatra pepper, you can go and order them.
Make a deposit, and after a while, you will be notified to pick it up.”
Wei Shilei immediately understood: "It's just like Yinpei Pavilion, isn't it? Someone is doing these transit businesses?"
"Yes," Deng Xian said: "On that street, there is a teahouse called Haijiao Tianzhen. I heard that the person in charge there is called Xiaolong Wang, who is the person in charge of this matter."
Wei Shilei said thoughtfully: "Since this person is specifically in charge of this matter, he must be very knowledgeable about all parties, so he might as well go there."
He thought for a while: "Then I will arrange things tomorrow and leave early the next morning. When we arrive, we will go directly there."
Deng Xian agreed and informed him.
So Wei Shilei explained the matter here, reserved manpower, and explained it to Governor Shen. He set out on the road early the next morning. When he was on the way, he always felt that something was missing, so he turned around to look for it.
It was discovered that Xu Lingmiao was not there.
Wei Shilei asked: "Where is Miss Xu?"
Deng Xian glanced at him with a strange look on his face: "She... she came and left on the first day of June. Didn't I tell you?"
Wei Shilei knocked his head and couldn't remember what he said, but he didn't care and nodded.
The group arrived at Anhai County, and the others went back first. Wei Shilei only left Deng Xian, Yan Twelve and Anli as two shadow guards. They found an inn to stay at on the edge of the city. Early on the morning of the 15th,
, and went to Foreigner Street.
Foreigner Street is neither long nor wide. It seems to be just over a mile long and less than two feet wide. Most of the shops on both sides are not shops, but wooden carts rarely seen outside. There are wooden frames on top, divided into
There are several floors, and all kinds of things are placed on them, most of which are unique items. It feels a bit like the ancient streets in Beijing, with the feeling of hunting for antiques.
Wei Shilei has been here for more than a year and is very familiar with these things. Those vendors were fooling around with a few words, and they found that he was an expert and the price was honest. Wei Shilei actually bought several interesting things.
Thinking of sending it back to Beijing to Tang Shijin.
Deng Xian followed him with his hands clasped behind his back, saying, "You're a young man, and you don't want to mess with a girl. What's the point of sticking to your sister every day?"
Wei Shilei smiled and said: "You are older than me, where is your girl?"
Deng Xian: "..."
Yan Twelve burst out laughing next to him, and Deng Xian gave him a meaningful look.
Yan Twelve... His name was Twelve, and Yan Twelve was actually a little bit taller than Twenty-Two. He immediately understood the look in his eyes, and then silently stopped laughing.
The three of them wandered all the way down, and when they reached the end of the street, they saw the "Haijiao Tianzhen Building". Deng Xian took the lead, and a few others pretended to be regular customers and went directly to the second floor, saying that they were looking for Xiao Longwang, who had big business.
.
Dr. Tea took them to a private room and served tea.
Several people were drinking tea and waiting. After a while, someone knocked on the door, and Deng Xian said: "Please come in."
The man came in, walked around the screen, cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Dear guests..."
She stopped abruptly.
Wei Shilei had just raised his standard gentlemanly smile, and the next second, he also stayed there.
The two sides looked at each other in confusion. Deng Xian was beside him, and his eyes were filled with excitement. It was like "the drama you are following has finally reached its climax".
After a while, she turned around and left.
Deng Xian laughed and blocked the door.
Wei Shilei also came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect this...Little Dragon King, alas, I was stupid, I should have thought of it a long time ago."
No wonder Deng Xian has always been eccentric!
No wonder Xu Wanghai had a strange expression yesterday when he heard that they were coming to Foreigner Street!
No wonder she is called Little Dragon King and her father is called Old Dragon King. Isn’t she the Little Dragon King?
When Xu Lingmiao was dressed in women's clothing, her features were picturesque and charming. Unexpectedly, once she put on men's clothing, her face was only slightly yellowed and she didn't make any unnecessary disguises. The heroic spirit between her eyebrows was revealed, and she looked like a handsome young man.
, smart, chic, beautiful, and noble.
Seeing that she was motionless with her back on her back, obviously very embarrassed, Wei Shilei smiled and said: "Miss Xu's behavior reminds me of my sister. In this world, there is no one who looks good in women's clothes and men's clothes except me.
Sister, I only met Miss Xu."
Deng Xian quietly winked at Yan Ershi, his eyebrows almost flew up, expressing "I don't know if I don't flirt, but I know how to flirt once I do it", "It seems that it's not that I don't care, but I didn't find the right way", "Meh?
"Haha, I'm going to make a comeback this time" with various meanings.
When Xu Lingmiao heard what he said, her body slowly relaxed.
Wei Shilei said: "How about sitting down and chatting?"
Xu Lingmiao slowly turned back, with a thin layer of red coming out from her yellow face. She barely put on a calm expression and said, "How come Mr. Wei is free to come here?"
Wei Shilei smiled and said: "I heard about the name of the Little Dragon King, so I came here to get to know him."
Xu Lingmiao: "..."
Deng Xian: "..."
Scholars are really gifted at flirting! Deng Xian only wished he didn't have two more eyes, so that his winks weren't expressive enough.
Wei Shilei waved his hand and said, "Miss Xu, please sit down."
Xu Lingmiao took a long breath.
I guess my mood was shattered, so I let go, threw down my sleeves, and sat down.
Yan Twelve maintained the high quality of a qualified shadow guard and said: "Master, please talk slowly." He withdrew and dragged Deng Xian out forcibly.
As soon as the door closed, Xu Lingmiao subconsciously sat up straighter, without looking at him, and looked straight ahead and said: "Master Wei, what business do you want to discuss when you come to my place?"
