Chapter 204 Giving Gifts

"Sir, here are your five bowls of noodles."

"Sir, here are your five bowls of noodles. There are five more bowls of noodles that will be brought to you when they are ready."

Jian Maid and Fan Li sat face to face at the noodle shop table.

The noodles are scallion noodles with no toppings, but they are gluten-rich and the soup is delicious. It tastes very enjoyable.

And because the noodle shop uses a big pot to cook noodles, it also cooks wontons, so from time to time, you can find a few pieces of wonton skins in the noodle bowl. If you are lucky, you can also get a complete small wonton, which is considered a treat. The species is rich.

Fan Li eats noodles very quickly because he has a big mouth. When he inserts, picks, and turns his chopsticks, basically everything in the bowl is skewered, and then he puts it into his mouth together. A gift inside.

Chew and swallow, then pick up the noodle bowl and drink the soup and some remaining noodles together.

"Bang!"

The side with the empty bowl continues to deal with the next bowl.

The sword maid tastes much more elegant. She eats a small mouthful of noodles and drinks a sip of soup, which makes her look like a lady.

From time to time,

Jian Maid also looked up at the street outside. Outside was the mule and horse market, which was crowded with people.

The whole journey has been lonely since we got out of Snow Customs;

However, the further west we go, the closer we get to Yandi, the smell of fireworks begins to slowly recover, until we reach The outskirts of Yanjing can indeed give people a feeling that the capital is in sight.

Sword Maid is a Qianren, and she has also stayed in Qianguo’s Shangjing. In her opinion, Qianguo’s Shangjing must be more sophisticated than Yanjing, whether it is the singing and dancing of orioles on the boat or the poems and songs by the willow forest. Fu gives people a freehand and romantic feeling.

Yanjing is filled with a heroic atmosphere. This is not only reflected in the people here, but even the animals here seem to have a sense of arrogance and insolence when they snort. A generation.

My first master once said to me with a smile,

He said that the common people of Qian Kingdom like to be courteous and cultivated on the surface, while smiling at you and joking in their hearts. You are a troublesome person in the countryside, just like the girl in the brothel. She covered her mouth with red silk and laughed, but in fact she was scolding you for being vulgar.

As for the Yan people in the Yanjing area, they will not look down on you and think you are a troublemaker, because they themselves are proud of being a troublemaker.

Fan Li had already finished his fifth bowl of noodles.

While waiting for the waiter to bring the remaining five bowls, he looked up at the sword maid and said:

"It's getting cold."

Jian Maid lowered her head and continued eating noodles.

After eating noodles,

Fan Li pulled Jianmaid out of the noodle shop.

Fan Li tied a small soft cushion to his right shoulder,

The sword maid sat on it.

They did not ride horses along the way, the sword maid was just sitting there while Fan Li ran over.

In Fan Li's words,

Riding is troublesome.

Continue going west,

They entered the capital before sunset at the city gate.

After finding an inn, Fan Li took the initiative to squat outside the door. Inside, the sword maid was taking a bath.

After waiting for a long time,

Jian Maid opened the door, her hair was a little wet and spread over her shoulders.

In the past two years, Sword Maid has also grown a lot. In the past, she was not only born with a sword embryo, but also a beauty embryo. Now, she cannot be called a beauty embryo because she is already a little beauty. .

The age is still a little embarrassing, but it is already within the acceptable range of some beasts.

"Go shopping?" Fan Li asked.

When you come to the capital, you have to go shopping.

The sword maid nodded,

then said:

"I want to eat roast duck."

......

Jian Maid took a few bites of the roast duck and put it down, too lazy to make any more bread.

Fan Li saw this and asked:

"Isn't it delicious?"

The sword maid nodded and said: "The meat is old."

The sword maid can endure hardships. She has followed the Second Sword of Qian Kingdom all over the world since she can remember. She often lives a life without a meal. After that, she followed Zheng Fan and her life became much better. , I can’t talk about fine clothes and fine food, but I can eat chicken if I want to eat chicken and fish if I want to eat fish.

The roast duck was not delicious. Because I came here to eat it because of its reputation, I was disappointed and didn’t want to eat it.

Fan Li nodded, grabbed a large handful of roast duck in his left hand, and a large handful of pancakes in his right hand, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.

Then,

the two went downstairs.

The sword maid is still sitting on Fan Li's shoulder.

The little girl likes the feeling of sitting here, because Fan Li is very tall, and she sitting on Fan Li's shoulder, He is the tallest person on this street.

Fan Li asked her if she wanted to eat candied haws,

Jian Maid said disdainfully:

“It’s something only children can eat.”

Then,

Fan Li also bought the straw stick with the candied haws on it.

Fan Li held the straw stick in his right hand, within reach of the sword maid, and was eating happily.

The two of them just kept walking,

Except for the candied haws, they didn’t buy anything else, they just looked at it.

And Fan Li is a man who can rely on his legs to run from Xuehaiguan to Yanjing, so he will not feel sore and numb in his legs at this time.

On Baixiang Street in Yanjing City, water is being swept, and red lanterns symbolizing happiness are hung on the eaves of merchants on both sides.

Just say that the wedding of the sixth prince of Yan will be held here in three days.

I didn’t take the official road or the main street. Instead, I chose this very narrow road.

Compared to the prince’s interrupted wedding, the grandeur and scale were beyond comparison.

Rumors in Beijing, the sixth prince of Dayan has never been liked by His Majesty, so he is treated like this. There are even rumors that this sixth prince married a daughter of a private family.

Look, look, if you are really lovable, how can you marry an ordinary girl from a private family?

Most of the people in Beijing would not think that the prince marrying a daughter of a civilian family would make them proud. Instead, they would pity the prince.

Fan Li and Sword Maiden also came to this street.

Jian Maid has already finished eating the candied haws of sugar haws.

Taken out a fish-bubble-like fish-like smooth thing from the bag that Fan Li carried on his back.

To your mouth,

start blowing.

The fish bubble was blown up and turned into a ball.

The sword maid held the bayonet position with her fingers and asked while playing with the ball:

"What is this thing for? It's really fun."

p>

Fan Li replied:

"The one who catches tadpoles."

"The one who catches tadpoles? How to catch them? Then why don't you come and catch them with me?"

p>

Fan Li shook his head and said:

"I can't catch him."

"It's okay, I'll help you."

Fan Li He frowned slightly,

then shook his head firmly,

and said:

"No need."

He explained ancient times with a little girl The usage of Biyuntao and the popularization of physiological knowledge are really a huge project for Fan Li.

Since it is troublesome, Fan Li is not going to explain.

“Why are you bringing this thing?”

Jian Maid knew that in Fan Li’s luggage, one bag was carrying some small gadgets, and the other was carrying everything. silver.

"It's for the Sixth Prince." Fan Li replied.

"Sent from the Lord?"

"Yes."

Then,

Fan Li replied:

p>

"Now, there is no need to send it."

Because of the long distance between Yanjing and Xuehaiguan, there is a big time difference in correspondence.

When Zheng Fan received a letter from Xiao Liuzi saying that he was getting married, he sent Fan Li to go to Yanjing to attend the ceremony on his behalf.

Because the infrastructure construction work of Xue Customs has come to an end, A Ming is busy with the workshop, and other demon kings also have their own work. Only Fan Li is currently free and was sent out.

The sword maid clamored to come with her,

and finally came,

It is said that the sword master was very angry after discovering that his apprentice had been kidnapped. .

However, what Zheng Fan didn't expect was that the He family's daughter was already pregnant. In that case, this special fish bubble would be useless.

"By the way, is it too casual for the Lord to give you money to buy gifts in the capital?"

Fan Li nodded and said:

Xue Customs could send a gift-delivery team and come beating gongs and drums, but there is really no need.

On the one hand, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble; It’s a long way and not cost-effective.

Fan Li came here by himself and bought it in Yanjing City. It was really convenient and quick.

“What should we buy? ? Are you going to give gifts tomorrow? ”

“Yeah. ”

“Buying antiques? Buy calligraphy and painting? Buy jade? "

Fan Li shook his head and said:

"The Lord said to buy something grounded. "

" Grounded? "

"Yes, the Lord also said that sincerity can be seen at a glance, and it must be eye-catching and stand out from the crowd. ”

“Well, what should I buy? "

......

A new pork shop opened on Baixiang Street. The owner is a foreigner. In fact, it is not really a foreigner, because Nan'an County is also in Tiancheng County, but in From the perspective of locals in the capital, those who leave the east, west, north and south gates, even those who live in the countryside outside the city, are all outsiders.

The stall owner's surname is He, and his son is a helper. >

The small business has just opened and is not prosperous, but the stall owner is friendly and knows how to do business.

“Hey, Chu, that lantern is further to the right, right. Yes, it’s done right, it’s done right. ”

Lao Hetou was instructing his son to hang red lanterns.

The shrewd widow proprietress of a dry goods shop nearby leaned against the door panel, eating melon seeds and joked:

“Oh, I said, Old He, you are so caring, you don’t know, you thought His Highness the Sixth Prince was marrying your daughter. "

He Chu, who was hanging the lantern, smiled stupidly when he heard the words.

Old He Touze said:

"This is the first time for outsiders to come to Beijing. This kind of royal excitement is more or less a matter of fun. In the past, in my hometown, there was no chance of such a big event. ”

“That’s right, but slowly, I’ll get used to it, and it will be a long time in the future. ”

“That is, that is. ”

Lao He turned around and was about to sharpen his knife again when he saw a figure like an iron tower appearing in front of his stall.

Lao He raised his head,

My neck hurts a little,

Because the person in front of me is really too tall.

The widow boss next to me immediately widened her eyes and subconsciously raised her eyebrows. He licked his lips with his tongue.

The tall man stood in front of the stall.

There was a girl sitting on his shoulder.

"Um, sir, do you want to buy pork? ”

Lao He asked with some trepidation.

Fan Li nodded and turned to look at the sword maid sitting on his shoulder.

The sword maid Throwing out a small bag of silver, it landed on Lao Hetou's chopping board with a thud.

"Buy."Three big fat pigs, tied with red ropes and red flowers, for us to give as gifts. ”

Good night.
