Chapter 97: Chance encounter

One,
,
Lin Jinrong asked Tao Fengtang: "Cousin, will we go to the market today?"
Tao Fengtang smiled and said, "It's just walking around on the street. There are too many people in the market and it's not suitable for you to go." Lin Jinrong wondered, "Why?"
Tao Fengxiang made a very vicious expression at her, and frightened: "Darong barbarians are savage, and there are wicked men in the army. They have tattoos on their faces. They won’t blink when they see a girl like you. Chasing you for two streets, you will still show off your face. Aren't you afraid?" Lin Jinrong didn't believe it: "If it's so bad, how can my cousin know?"
"..." Tao Fengxiang was speechless for a while, and then confidently said: "I went with my father and elder brother in men's clothes. There are more than a dozen small servants around me, so I am naturally not afraid."
Lin Jinrong said enviously: "It's great. I thought earlier that I must go to the market to gain insights.
It seems that I am afraid that I will never have this opportunity in this life. Do you know that I will have another chance to come to Cheongju in the future? "As he said, he glanced at Tao Fengtang, with a pitiful look on his face.
Tao Fengtang felt soft and whispered: "Don't listen to your third cousin's nonsense, she deliberately frightened you.
Although there are not many women in the market, they are not uncommon. Only this time I can’t go. I will take care of you as well as Wu Xiang. Another day. "
Someday, who knew Dow would stay here for a few days? Later, I will look at the marriage for Lin Yizhi, and now it is the most realistic to seize the opportunity. Lin Jinrong pulled Tao Fengxiang's hand and begged in a low voice, "My third cousin..."
Tao Fengxiang originally wanted to go to the forum, but he was afraid of being reprimanded, so he only pushed forward: "Don't ask me, I can't speak. Anyway, I can't speak nonsense and leave."
Lin Jinrong's expression became more and more pitiful: "Big cousin, you went to my house last year, and you let Zeng promised to owe me a request in the future, do you remember?" At that time Tao Fengtang secretly brought Lin Jinyin a gift." Said that she took the opportunity to make a small request, and it was time to use it.
Tao Fengxiang immediately curiously said: "What's the matter, what's the matter? Tell me quickly." Tao Fengtang flushed, and gently dragged his sister, and said, "Go out first, and then talk again." Yan Pa took the lead in moving forward. go with.
Tao Fengxiang laughed, "Brother agreed. You told me, what the is it? It's good to say it."
Lin Jinrong shook his head slightly: "Nothing." Those things can only be her and Lin Jinyin,
Tao Fengtang knew that, so he didn't tell others.
"Cut! Stingy!" Tao Fengxiang didn't get angry, and gently pinched her face: "The veil you embroidered is beautiful. If you make two more pieces for me, I won't care about you."
"Xiu wants to say two yuan, even five yuan. When I go back and do it, someone will bring it to you." Lin Jinrong squeezed his cousin's hand" and walked out the second door grinning.
The boys had been impatient for a long time. Seeing that the two of her had finally come out, Tao Fengju pretended to sigh, "Girls are troublesome, and they have to drag on for so long to go out." Mama Gong, who was not slowly following behind, and Mama Song by Wu's side, closed their voices, and whispered, "It also attracted two troublesome insects." Tao Fengtang cursed, "If you talk nonsense, you will stay, no You are missing."
His eldest brother is very prestigious, Tao Fengju didn't dare to turn back." He shrank his neck, and didn't dare to speak again.
Lin Shenzhi widened his eyes and looked at Tao Fengju, and whispered in an extremely worried and aggrieved voice: "Second cousin, do you also dislike us?"
Tao Fengju's face turned red immediately, and he denied, "Where is it? Otherwise, I won't pull my pony for you to ride" and won't agree to take you to go fishing. I mean, mothers love to be nosy and bother us and influence me to take you to have fun. "
Lin Shenzhi was happy: "Second Cousin" you are so kind, I like you the most. "
Tao Fengju's face became redder.
"Let's go! It will be too late if you don't leave." The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Hearing Lin Shenzhi's words, Wu Xiang thought that Lin Jinrong had asked him to return his book last night, and he clearly didn't read the book. I didn't say what books I had to borrow." Suddenly, I felt a little uncomfortable, and I went out first.
Lin Shiquan thought for a while, "He also beats his horse to keep up, and soon catches up with him." After a few conversations between the two, Wu Xiang slowed down.
Cheongju is similar to Dayong, and there are government-run and private-run markets. The government-run shop was set up in the city. The government of this dynasty exchanged cassowaries, horses, cows, sheep, jade, felt blankets, licorice, etc. for Daeong’s cassowaries, lacquerware, and ginger. The objects were exchanged for Dayong’s beeswax, brown hair, cistanche, fan navel, source antelope, Bupleurum, red huā, lingmao, naosha and so on.
These materials are under the sole control of the government and are not allowed to be traded by the people. But where are these government-run things enough for the world to use? With the word of profit, there are countless people taking risks. They set up a private market to trade secretly, not only trading in the private market, but also in the government-run property. This is the origin of the private market. It's a pity that there is no countertop in the private market. It is an invisible existence. Without introductions from acquaintances, I don't want to do business.
"Actually, they are hidden in the government office. Looking at these people, they seem to be serious and law-abiding on the surface. In fact, doing these things in private requires them to share...
Tao Fengxiang held Lin Jinrong's arm tightly, and pointed to the shops on both sides that he knew most and were most interested in to show her, "This shop has good jade, this shop has glassware, this shop secretly sells coral and amber, ah. By the way, the spices in this shop are also good!"
Lin Jinrong worked hard to silently jot down the information he heard from the Tao brothers and sisters, pearl shells, tortoise shells,
Rhinoceros, inlaid iron, fin skin, coral, amber, agate, frankincense, woody, stone fat, sulfur,
Chen Xiang and other things are all official. These things are a little strange to her, and some are familiar to her. After reading so many things in one breath, it is really difficult to write down all of them.
Lin Shiquan looked in his eyes, while Tao Fengxiang looked down at a string of beeswax bracelets, he leaned towards Kong Kong, and whispered: "Sister Si, don't remember if you can't remember. I'll remember some, and I'll beg them when I go back. Write one to me, I can always write it down.
After finishing speaking, I went to ask Tao Fengtang to ask questions, curiously let the merchants take this, take the other, the skin is extremely thick, not afraid of others disgusting him. .
Sure enough, many people have more power, Lin Shiquan is indeed more convenient than himself to inquire about these things, and they will not perfuse him. Lin Jinrong breathed a sigh of relief and began to recall what the government had released back then. After thinking about it, he only remembered wood incense, stone fat, sulfur, agarwood, cloves,
Pepper and other things are let go. I heard that there are food sellers, but I don’t know where they are?
While thinking, Tao Fengxiang took her a hand and asked her to look at a whole box of colored glass hairpins displayed by the store: "Look at this, the price is much cheaper than elsewhere, don't you buy some to give it back?"
When I came out, I naturally had to prepare some souvenirs. Lin Jinrong lowered his head to select the hairpin, but Tao Fengxiang took a fancy to a set of colored glaze cups and yelled at the store to take it down.
Wu Xiang strolled around, walked over to stand beside Lin Jinrong, and said, "Four sister, you can pick a few branches for me. I will take them to send my mother and aunts, as well as sister-in-law and cousins." Lin Jinrong smiled slightly. , He also generously picked out a few branches according to his own preferences: "Second Brother Wu, can you see this?" Wu Xiang ordered someone to wrap it up without looking at it: "I believe your eyes. I've never seen you dressed ugly." Lin Jinrong smiled without saying a word, and continued to choose hairpins.
Seeing that she didn't answer, she was indifferent, Wu Bao couldn't help but hesitate and struggle.
Among the few girls he knew well, except Yang Mo, he was also the best talker with Lin Jinrong, especially playing Xun who seemed to be a bosom friend, and even for tea, he still had a lot of skills to learn from her. He wanted to tell Lin Jinrong that he was only aiming at Master Lin San, not at the rest of them, each was his own, but that was the end. But he couldn't tell how.
After hesitating for a long time, he picked out a blue glass hairpin from the box and handed it to Lin Jinrong. He smiled and said, "This sapphire blue is most suitable for my aunt." He picked another green like emerald: "This is with you. The clothes on the body match."
Today, Lin Jinrong is wearing a jade-colored brocade with emerald green dress. The color is uniform, but she is still young and can't use this at all, and she doesn't save Wu Xiang's face. She simply shook her head: "This is not suitable. Lou, I'm too old-fashioned to give my grandmother away."
Mother Gong watched from the side, smiled slightly, and continued to kowtow with Mother Song.
Sure enough, he was offended, Wu Xiang couldn't help but feel embarrassed, not knowing how to answer the conversation.
But I heard someone next to me smiled sarcastically: "Hey, when did Wu Er Shao switch to selling hairpins?"
When Lin Jinrong heard this sound, his whole body was taut, and he turned back abruptly. Sure enough, he saw Lu Yan leading the longevity group, standing at the door of the shop with a faint smile, with a slightly ironic expression in his eyes, going back and forth between her and Wu Xiang. Wander around. Wasn't this person first in Taiming Mansion and then sent home by Lin Yuzhen? Why did you get here? It's just a ghost. Lin Jinrong turned her head indifferently, and did not look at him more. On the contrary, both Gong's mother and Lychee shouted in surprise: "Master Biao, why are you here?"
Wu Xiang also opened his mouth in astonishment, pointing to Lu Lu's speechless voice: "You, why are you here?"
"If you come, I can't come?" Lu Yan smiled slightly at Gong's mother and Lychee and nodded, shaking his robe, and walked towards Lin Jinrong, fiddled with the glazed hairpin in front of her a few times, and retracted his hand contemptuously: " I thought it was what it was, it’s worth your time here. There is something better than this."
Lin Jinrong was angry when she saw him. She really couldn't figure out how could there be such a thick-skinned person in this world. He knew that they hated him, so he just got in. With a cold face, he grabbed the turquoise hairpin and a few others and said loudly: "The shopkeeper, help me wrap this up, I want it."
Although she was wearing a face, Lu Yan instinctively felt her indifference and rejection, and stopped talking to her, turned around and smiled with Wu Xiang: "When I saw dye ink outside, I walked in and saw you. Sell ​​hairpins here." With a flick of his robe sleeves, he swept down the box of glass hairpins in front of Lin Jinrong without showing a trace.
