Chapter 119: Meeting
Sima Qing didn't care about leaving and separation, but Shiwulang cried twice in private when he talked about leaving. Compared with Jiu Niang who was actually looking forward to going back to the capital, he hardly had much memory of the past. It is Shiwulang from his hometown, who is even more reluctant to part with the mountains and rivers around Xinghua Town, as well as Xujia Village.
He covered it up very well, and Jiuniang was distracted by taking care of Xu Shiliang, but ignored his emotional changes.
After Sima Qing found out, she comforted Shiwulang a few words, but it was difficult to empathize with his feelings.He was actually looking forward to how to leave this place that might be a primitive planet.
Considering that the Yan Dynasty they are currently in is the most powerful among all the countries known to these people, the capital city should be the place where certain clues can be found best.
There is also his suspected fellow villager here, who passed down Chinese characters and customs in the Yan Dynasty, and there should be traces left behind.
If he can't go back to the hometown he misses so much, going to any other place is just wandering.And just considering the aspect of gaining the power of faith, he can no longer return to Earth.But if you can meet each other and recall your hometown together, it may be a good thing.
Of course, the prerequisite is that they go to the capital first.
However, those who made plans for today 20 years in advance must also be in the capital. They are already in the game, and no matter who looks at it, they feel that they are on Shiwulang's side... This The situation didn't look so good.
After discussing it with Florian, it was more appropriate to go to the country after comprehensive consideration, and the two of them didn't make any things about leaving without saying goodbye.
Mr. Chen led a team to look for Fifteen Lang this time. Out of the need for confidentiality, there were not many people with him, only ten, but each of them had good force. After all, no one who didn't want Fifteen Lang to return to the capital few.
They didn't know where they got the information, so they went straight to the direction where Shiwulang was, but it took only three months to find the traces left by Jiuniang six years ago. Following the clues, they soon Found them quickly.
When Sima Qing heard this, she was very curious. Mr. Chen's luck was good, but not so good.Mr. Chen didn't hide it from him, but he just said with a smile: "I...before I was sent to the lord, I had friendship with the national teacher who was just a little boy back then."
This is the first time Sima Qing has heard of this person, and he doesn't know what impact the other party will have on his life in the future, Sima Qing asked curiously: "What kind of person is the national teacher?"
Mr. Chen chuckled: "National teacher..." He looked leisurely and fascinated: "That's a man among gods!"
Sima Qing was speechless, then found a reason, left the carriage with Florian, and went back to her place together.
Now there are five carriages in this team, two of them are filled with gifts from the Xie family. They are all silk cloth and the like. This is the request of Mr. Chen. It's not cheap, and when necessary, they can also use these things to pretend to be merchants.
And according to Xie Yunsheng's private information, half of these fabrics were given to Jiuniang and the others, and they could use them as rewards to their servants when they arrived in the capital.Sima Qing was only dumbstruck in her heart when she heard this, how rich is the Xie family?So if you have money, why do you settle in such a remote town as Xinghua Town?But when it comes to this point, Xie Yunsheng himself is not too clear about it, he just said it was an ancestor's instruction.
Not to mention the value of these goods, Sima Qing is very skeptical. Which normal caravan would use three carriages to carry people, but only two carriages to load... and according to the living standards of this era, even ordinary Merchants are not even willing to use horse-drawn carts. Everyone transports goods with either mules or donkeys. Horses are a luxury in this era.
But Mr. Chen seemed very satisfied with his idea, so Sima Qing didn't pour cold water on him.
Helped Xie's family break the Feng Shui bureau. Although Xie's family didn't say anything at the time, when they were about to leave, they sent the housekeeper from before to give them a corresponding thank you gift - a beautifully carved jade pendant .
Even a person like Sima Qing who is not very knowledgeable can see the beauty of this piece of jade at a glance, which is obviously better than the set of small objects he received before.There is a saying that gold has a price and jade is priceless, the Xie family is also very sincere.
And the butler also showed a bewildered smile, and introduced the uniqueness of this jade pendant to Sima Qing.This Pisces pendant can be disassembled, and it becomes two identical jade pendants.Speaking of which, the smiling man looked at Florian, saying nothing.
Sima Qing could only be speechless... These thoughtful people seemed to be thinking a little too much.
But now Sima Qing touched the jade pendant she took out from the dimensional space, looked at each other with Florian, but could only smile helplessly.
This was the tenth day since they left Xie's house. It was a waste of time for everyone to travel for several days. Mr. Chen himself was too tired, so he decided to stay in this small town for one night.
Florian didn't think it was a hardship to ride a carriage before. Knowing that today happened to be the day of the market in this small town, he took Sima Qing out for a stroll.
Sima Qing had never been to this kind of market before, so she dragged Florian all the way, and the two looked around curiously.Although the short hair on the top of their heads is still very eye-catching, they are well-dressed and imposing. No one came to make fun of themselves, at most they just pointed behind their backs.Those who were attracted by Sima Qing's appearance just kept following him in a secretive way, almost looking at him reluctantly.
Although this beauty is beautiful, just like the spirits of heaven and earth are always guarded by fierce beasts... Florian's sense of existence cannot be ignored either.
After walking around, Florian's eyes suddenly changed, and he led Sima Qing to a booth.
This is probably the coldest and hottest stall in the market.The most deserted means that there is no customer in front of it, and all the people coming and going can see clearly at a glance, and the hottest is because behind the booth is the blacksmith's shop of this town. The blacksmith brought his two Apprentice, shirtless and sweating profusely.
Because of the holding of the market, this is also the best time for their business.
But what Florian was looking at was a dusty and inconspicuous stone in the corner of the stall.
In order to sell it, the stall owner specially used sandpaper and other things to polish a smooth stone surface on the side, so that customers can clearly see that this is indeed a piece of ore with a metallic luster.
Florian stared at the stone for too long. The stall owner who had not done business for a long time noticed him keenly. Looking at their clothes, he felt that they were customers who could afford the price, so he quickly showed a smile. Greeting: "Guest, you have a good eye. This is a piece of meteorite that fell from the sky with great difficulty. You can use it to make a sword, so that you can make a sword worthy of a strong man like you!"
The blacksmith behind was just finishing a process, and when he heard his words, he almost spit out the water from his mouth: "Lao Gou, don't you feel guilty when you say this?"
The stall owner immediately became anxious: "Blacksmith Zhang, what are you talking about! You just say that I am wrong, right? This is indeed a meteorite from the sky, isn't it?"
Blacksmith Zhang clicked his tongue: "Then why don't you say that until now, no one has been able to smelt this ore into metal? An ore that cannot be purified is just a stone."
Gou Laosan blushed with anger, but Zhang Tiejiang was telling the truth, and he couldn't say anything to refute it. He glanced at Sima Qing and knew that Zhang Tiejiang would come to refute him. He showed his face in front of him, knowing that there was a blacksmith, and his idea of cheating the other party was considered empty, so he gave up on himself and said: "This stone is five hundred baht. If you want it, you can take it. No bargaining." .”
Sima Qing suddenly hesitated for a moment, and looked at Florian who could barely understand the conversation just now and was still waiting for his explanation.
It was rare for Florian to want to buy something, and he definitely wanted to help him buy it... as long as he had money.
The problem is that neither of them has any money!
Although Xie's family is generous and considerate, no one seems to have thought that these two "brothers with different surnames" who look rich at first glance don't have any money on them.
Florian has always been very rich, but those are virtual currency "star points". Obviously, Interstellar Bank's business has not yet reached this region...
When he was in trouble, Sima Qing took out the three sets of small accessories that Xie's family gave them before, and took out a jade fan pendant from among them: "Little brother, how about we exchange this piece of jade with you?"
It's good that he didn't mention jade, but when he mentioned this, Gou Laosan's face changed, and he flatly refused: "I don't accept jade. It's fine if you don't buy it, don't affect my business."
Blacksmith Zhang also looked helpless.Sima Qing sighed. Florian had already held his hand and was about to leave. There was no current currency here for the time being. It was not impossible for him to do anything, but he just had to wait for a while.
At this moment, one of Mr. Chen's subordinates appeared suddenly, bowed to them both, then took out money, bought the meteorite, and respectfully sent it to Sima Qing : "This is a wish from our young master, please be sure to accept it."
With this unexpected little gift, when Mr. Chen invited Sima Qing and the others to talk about the next arrangement, Sima Qing graciously gave him a little patience.
Seeing the four or five balls of things on the table that were dark and packed in delicate boxes, the corners of Sima Qing's mouth twitched: "What did you just say, do you mind explaining it in detail?"
Chen Gongzi smiled: "These wigs are of good quality, you can choose one to have a look."
