Chapter 31 Inner City, North City
After Qin Jiang cleaned up, he went to the lobby of Shanmanlou. The boy came over and said, "Master Qin, Master Liu is waiting for you on the second floor."
Qin Jiang nodded and went straight to the second floor. Before he reached the second floor, Liu Yize walked quickly.
Today he was dressed in rich clothes, with his hair tied into a bun, a jade crown, and a folding fan in his hand. He looked like a handsome young man.
“Haha! Come quickly, dear brother!”
When he came closer, he pulled Qin Jiang into a private room without any explanation. He mysteriously picked up a baggage from the seat and opened it on the table.
Took out the objects inside and unfolded them, "Look, dear brother! How about this black gold auspicious cloud robe for me?"
Qin Jiang looked over and saw that it was a black background with black gold cloud patterns embroidered on it. Jinpao nodded, "Yes, at least it's worth two taels of silver."
"Haha! This was made by the chief of Jinxiu Pavilion in the west of the city. You can't even buy it for ten taels of silver!" Liu Yize laughed.
Qin Jiang looked sideways slightly. One piece of clothing was worth ten taels of silver. If it were replaced by his predecessor, he would have to go to Daheishan dozens of times.
"Come on, come on, change quickly and let me see you! I know you are still wearing the black cloth today, which is not good. Today we are going to the county captain's mansion!"
Said, Liu Yize directly handed the robe to Qin Jiang, and then took out boots and hairpins from the bag.
"By the way, dear brother, you haven't reached the crown yet, have you? Just put a hairpin in it."
Qin Jiang looked at the clothes in his hand for a moment, then realized, "No. , this is too expensive."
Liu Yize waved his hand, "Put it on quickly. You probably don't know that your sister-in-law is the chief of Jinxiu Pavilion. This black gold Xiangyun robe would cost ten taels for someone else. I don’t need any money at all.
Speaking of which, the store's funds have been tight recently. This time I went to the banquet and took several hundred taels of silver from your sister-in-law. "
Qin Jiang looked at Liu Yize inexplicably when he heard this. Liu Yize also looked at him, straightened his body slightly, "It's borrowed, it's borrowed! How could I, a dignified man of eight feet, do such unreasonable things? Put it on quickly! Don't refuse any more! "
After a while, Qin Jiang put on the black gold auspicious cloud robe, and tied his hair in a bun awkwardly. Liu Yize who was standing by him couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over and finished it in twos and twos, took the hairpin and inserted it in.< br>
“That’s right, that’s right. I noticed that my good brother has an extraordinary temperament earlier, but now I see that it’s true! "Liu Yize laughed with satisfaction.
Qin Jiang looked at the bronze mirror aside. The brocade robe fit him perfectly, with a jade hairpin on his head and long hair shawl.
It's just that the tall figure holds up the brocade robe, and he doesn't look like a handsome young man, but rather looks a bit majestic.
He looked at Liu Yize with some surprise, "Brother Liu, how did you know my size?"
Liu Yize was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Did Brother Liu forget to be a brother?" What do you do? If you didn’t even have this ability, I’m afraid this blacksmith shop would have been closed a long time ago.”
My eyes are rulers!
"Okay, let's go?" he said.
Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "Brother Liu, please."
Inner city, north gate.
Qin Jiang looked up and saw that the towering city wall was at least seven or eight meters long. The wall was covered with various scars, many of which did not look like weapons, but instead looked like various claw marks. .
It can be said that this is the real Black Mountain City. The boundaries of the outer city were actually added after the development of Black Mountain City.
Looking at the entrance of the city gate, a group of county soldiers wearing black armor were guarding the city gate, each holding a long sword and wearing a short sword on their waist, with a murderous look on their faces.
There were not many people going in and out of the inner city at this time, and most of them came in and out by carriage.
Qin Jiang and Liu Yize walked over and were stopped by the county soldiers, "Passport!"
Liu Yize quickly took out the invitation from his arms, "Master, we are invited by the county captain. Banquet, here is the invitation."
The county soldier took the invitation and looked at it, "It turns out that he is our guest. Come in."
The two of them walked into the city. The door, through the passage, is almost twenty meters before entering the inner city.
Entering the inner city, the surroundings suddenly became noisy. On both sides of the street, various vendors were hawking and promoting their goods, as if they were not worried about anyone robbing them.
The steamed bun shop on the roadside was steaming. The old man sharpening scissors was sitting on the roadside, surrounded by a circle of people.
A straight avenue leads straight ahead, wide enough for two carriages to run parallel. Liu Yize looked at Qin Jiang with a smile, "That's why we moved to the inner city. Although there are gangs that charge protection fees, the environment is much more stable than in the outer city, so you can naturally make more money. .
Of course, the place we are staying in is Beishi, and other areas in the inner city are not so prosperous. ”
Qin Jiang nodded slightly. Although this was his first time in the inner city, he had often heard people talk about the inner city.
It is divided into two cities, sixteen lanes. In addition to the North City, there is also a South City, but the food and various daily necessities are mainly sold there.
Walking in Bei City, the prosperity visible to the naked eye is in sharp contrast to the outer city.
It’s no wonder that the gentlemen in the inner city don’t care about the life and death of the outside city and the refugees. I’m afraid the tax paid by the northern city alone is more than the four districts in the outer city combined.
Moreover, he also heard that there are many brothels in Pingkangfang in the inner city, and it is famous as a gold-selling cave. Almost everyone in the inner city who has some money has been there.
With all kinds of entertainment places, coupled with the current environment, of course you can enjoy it day by day. If the Huai Kingdom comes over, I'm afraid there won't be any good days.
Poof!
While Qin Jiang was thinking, a little girl bumped into his leg with a candied haws.
"Ah! I bumped into him, sorry."
A crisp voice sounded, Qin Jiang lowered his head, and the tall shadow cast, completely covering the little girl in the shadow.
Smiling, he stretched out his hand and gently touched the little girl's head, "It's okay, just be careful when playing."
Huh~
A gust of fragrant wind blew, "Little sister ! Don’t run around.”
Qin Jiang raised his head and saw a beautiful figure in his eyes, wearing a green skirt and dancing as he ran.
A hint of surprise rose from her eyes. When it came to appearance, this woman was not inferior to Lin Xian'er and Lin Yu'er.
This made him couldn't help but sigh that this Black Mountain City had such outstanding people and such a fairy-like woman.
Liu Yize on the side slightly cupped his hands, "Miss Xu."
The woman stopped in front of the two of them, and bowed slightly towards Qin Jiang, "I'm sorry, sir, my sister is a bit naughty. "
Then she pulled the little girl and looked at Liu Yize, "Who are you?"
"I am Liu Yize from Liu's blacksmith shop in the north of the city. Some time ago, your father commissioned me to build it. Pass a batch of farm tools.”
Liu Yize smiled and spoke. He didn't expect to meet this person here.
The woman in the skirt thought for a moment and opened her lips slightly, "Oh~ I remembered that you are the owner of Liu's blacksmith shop. My father told me that Liu's casting skills are the best in Black Mountain City. The farm tools you made are the most convenient to use."
Hearing this, Liu Yize quickly handed over his hand and said, "Master Xu is too flattering, and I really don't deserve it."
The woman in the skirt was about to talk. The dress was pulled by the little girl next to her, "Sister, sister, let's go over there, there's a candy man over there!"
The little girl pointed to the distance with an excited face. She hasn't been here for a long time. Bei Shi.
The woman in the skirt looked at the two of them apologetically, "I'm sorry, my sister hasn't been out for a long time."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl left her and ran away.
Seeing this, the woman in the skirt quickly confessed and chased after him.
After she left, Liu Yize looked at Qin Jiang and found that Qin Jiang was still watching her leaving.
"Haha, what's wrong with my dear brother? Could it be that he has a crush on me?" he joked.
Qin Jiang shook his head slightly. He felt a strange feeling in this woman.
I can’t tell you, but it’s a bit like the feeling I had when I saw the statue of the Goddess Huangtian and the statue of the Fox Fairy.
"Brother Liu, who is she?" he asked.
