The next morning, the ship slowly stopped at the dock.

There are frequent boats on the river, and many docks have been built along the way for boating to rest and purchase.

In addition to the coolies carrying things, there are more hawkers selling things on the dock. There are also some smart merchants who have built neat shops not far from the dock, selling some local specialties, tea, silk, satin, porcelain and the like. Rouge and gouache shops are also indispensable.

"Cousin Shu, let's go to the shop over there and have a look." Ling Jingyan said happily.

Since she was getting off the boat to relax, Ling Jingshu didn't want to spoil the fun, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.

Uncle Ling and Mrs. Sun did not get off the boat, but the juniors couldn't hold it in any longer and got off the boat together. It is not advisable for girls who have not left the court to appear in public, so Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan both wore curtain hats. Jiang also wore a curtain hat.

However, the group is still very eye-catching.

Ling Ji is tall and handsome, and is very eye-catching in the crowd. Ling Xiao's unusually delicate and beautiful face also attracted everyone's attention. The tall Mrs. Jiang exudes the charm of a young woman in every gesture. Pretty and lovely Ling Jingyan, her laughter is like a silver bell. Not to mention the stunningly beautiful Ling Jingshu.

The thin gauze on the curtain and hat only vaguely covered her appearance, but it could not hide her breathtaking beauty.

The coolie vendors on the dock had never seen such a beautiful girl before, and they couldn't help but look over at her.

Fortunately, Ling Ji specially brought a dozen strong servants to tightly surround Ling Jingshu and others. Everyone looked at him for a few times through the crowds of heads, and then they looked away knowingly.

After being on the boat for several days, once I set foot on flat ground, walking feels a little soft, which is quite unaccustomed.

Ling Xiao held Ling Jingshu's hand tightly and whispered excitedly: "Ah Shu, it's so lively here." There were noisy voices in his ears, interspersed with the loud shouts of the vendors, which was really interesting to hear. .

Ling Jingshu looked around and felt a little sad: "Yes, it is indeed very lively!"

Let alone Ling Xiao, she had never experienced such a scenery.

At that time, she was kept in a boudoir, and then she was married to Jizhou. From one exquisite cage to another even more exquisite one.

The strongest relationship between her and Lu Hong was when Lu Hong was studying diligently to prepare for the provincial examination and had no time to take her on trips. Later, she became pregnant and gave birth to a child, and she had to stay in the Lu family honestly. Later...she was put under house arrest and couldn't even leave the courtyard...

Ling Jingshu didn't want to think about these painful past events anymore and quickly changed the subject: "There is a shop selling the four treasures of the study there. Let me accompany you to have a look!"

Anyone who is a scholar cannot live without the Four Treasures of the Study. Although Ling Xiao is blind and unable to read, his love for the Four Treasures of the Study is not affected at all. Hearing this, he immediately responded with a smile.

Ling Jingshu smiled and asked Ling Jingyan and Jiang, "Are you coming too?"

Ling Jingyan rushed to respond: "Sister-in-law and I went to the powder shop to have a look. Anyway, the two shops are not far apart. Let's meet up later."

Ling Jingyan had already said this, and Mrs. Jiang was not inconvenient to go against her sister-in-law's wishes, and agreed with a smile: "Let's divide our troops into two groups. For safety reasons, let half of the family follow you. When we finish reading, we will go find you." "

fair enough.

Ling Jingshu nodded, took Ling Xiao's hand, followed by five or six servants, and walked into the Four Treasures Shop of the Study.

The two siblings entered the shop.

A thin beggar squatted not far outside the shop, staring at Ling Jingshu's figure, with a glimmer of surprise and greed in his eyes.

...

This beggar is about 20 years old, with a slender face and a lame leg. Begging to survive on this dock.

The people who were begging for a living on the dock were used to seeing beggars like this, and no one paid any attention to him.

The lame beggar quietly got up and left, turning into the alley on the other side of the pier. After entering the alley, the lame beggar walked much faster, and it was astonishingly neat.

The lame beggar stopped in front of a low house and knocked on the door with a special technique. After knocking three times, the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a strong man with a scar on his face: "Cripple, if you weren't watching the fat sheep on the dock, why did you come back so early?"

The lame man responded excitedly: "I am the one who came back to report the news. Where is the second head of the family?"

The man with the scar swore a curse word: "The second boss slept with two fans last night and was still asleep in bed. I won't get into trouble with this."

Lame is usually responsible for tracking the fat sheep, and because of his sharp and accurate vision, he is highly valued by the second master. Hearing this, he replied with a smile on his face: "I have found a real good product this time. If the report is late and delayed, the first and second masters will blame me, but they can't blame me."

The scarred man glared at the lame man and reluctantly went into the back room to call for help.

After a while, the second master came out.

The scarred man was already very strong, but the second boss was half a head taller than the scarred man. His triangular eyes flashed fiercely, making him intimidating as soon as he stood there.

The second master asked impatiently: "Cripple, you said you found a real good product, what does it look like last time? If it happens again like last time, with a pockmarked face when you lift the curtain, I will survive without the first master taking action. Tear you apart!”

The cripple suddenly became much more honest in front of the arrogant and cruel second master. He hurriedly smiled and said: "Second master, please don't worry. I will never make a mistake this time. The siblings are about the same age. They should be twins. They are both only ten years old." She looks about four or five years old. The girl is wearing a curtain and her appearance cannot be clearly seen, but from a distance, she can tell that she is a rare beauty. "

When the second master heard that she was a beauty, he immediately became interested, but he cursed: "How could I know she is a stunning beauty through the curtain and hat? If not, I would dig out your dog eyes."

"Second Master, please believe me this time!" Cripple said with confidence: "I have been following you for several years, and I have indeed made mistakes, but I will never be wrong this time. If I make a mistake, Second Master does not need to take action. I dug this trick myself.”

"I have memorized the appearance of the official ship. According to our old method, we followed it secretly for a day or two. When we found a secluded place on the river, we boarded the ship in the middle of the night, robbed the people and left. "

These stunning girls from official families were snatched and sold to the barbarians in the northern part of the Great Wall, in exchange for hundreds of fine war horses. Once it changes hands, it will be a huge profit of tens of thousands of taels.

And that beautiful young man is also a rare and good thing.

If you can successfully complete this vote, the huge profit gained is enough to make people willing to risk being beheaded.
