There is an ordinary restaurant in the West City called Hujia Bakery, which is opened by a bearded westerner with brown curly hair and blue eyes. delicious.An ordinary blue cloth carriage stopped slowly at the door of the store, and three young people got off the carriage, the oldest one looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Although the three teenagers were dressed in ordinary clothes, they couldn't hide their superiority. Either the young masters of the aristocratic family avoided people's eyes and ears, or they were down-and-out housekeepers. Children from ordinary families could not develop such a temperament.I saw one of the teenagers with a good face and a calm temperament asking the oldest one, "Cousin, are you sure this is the place?"

These three people were Li Jingchen and the others. After coming out of Baiyanghe, they got into the carriage and headed straight for the West Market. When they arrived in the West Market, they were caught blind, because it was not easy to deliver news in the palace, and they were afraid that someone would use the news to do something wrong. What, so the news that Qi Chengxuan's uncle Ning Zhengchang passed on to Qi Chengxuan was only a few vague words - Xishi, food, beard.

The seven words without thinking make people distressed. The West Market is so big that you may not be able to visit it in a day. hard to find.It was Qi Chengxuan who deduced between the lines from the previous communication with Ning Zhengchang that it should be a wine shop in Xishi, and the big beard may be the characteristic of the owner.

Jiang Bining, who knows the West Market quite well, brought them here. The owner of Hu's Cake Shop is a Hu man with a big beard.

"The owner is hospitable, and his name is weird and extremely long, so people who come here often call him Big Beard. Over time, Hujia Bakery is also called Big Beard Bakery. I think if it is a wine shop, it should be here. " Jiang Bining said in detail.

Li Jingchen looked at the bakery with foreign characteristics. The decoration was completely different from that of Zhongtu, but the front door was narrow, and the inside of the shop looked very deep. Standing outside and looking inside felt stuffy, not very comfortable.

"Go ahead and have a look. If not, you can continue to look for it." Li Jingchen said after asking Wen Shuangquan to park the carriage.

Qi Chengxuan walked in without giving any response, and with a glance of his eyes, he could clearly see the general situation in the shop.The waiter was a young man in his twenties, with a white scarf on his shoulders. He saw a few people coming in and greeted them, "Please, please, we have well-boiled mutton soup, roast mutton, and lamb ribs. It is absolutely delicious to eat with the freshly baked pancakes in the store. You will want to eat it even after you eat it, and you will never forget it when you go home. The pancakes can be eaten with soup or sandwiched with meat. There are only unexpected ways to eat them without pancakes. Impossible way to eat." The buddy spoke a series of brisk words without a pause.

Qi Chengxuan's usually expressionless face was now a little more anxious, bypassing the chattering Xiaoer and walking straight to the first seat in the corner, Li Jingchen saw a middle-aged man sitting there with an untouched face His big beard looks extremely messy, and he can't tell where his mouth is. The clothes on his body look very gray and sloppy. Compared with his messy appearance, the middle-aged man has a pair of piercing big eyes , the extremely deep double eyelids make his eyes bigger and brighter.

Xishi, bearded, and bearded may also refer to middle-aged men!

Xiaoer was still chattering about the many pancakes in their store, Li Jingchen interrupted gently, "Give each of us a portion of mutton soup, a few pancakes, and a plate of roast lamb for each table, plus a large Just put it there, we are together." Li Jingchen pointed, and Qi Chengxuan had already sat opposite to the middle-aged man, "I understand!"

"Yeah." Xiao Er nodded hurriedly, the boy looked gentle, but he felt that if he continued to chatter, it would be miserable.

Jiang Bining dug his ears and frowned, "Hey, this little boy is quite eloquent, and he didn't catch his breath after talking so much, thanks to Brother Chen's good temper, if you didn't stop me, I would have put the scarf on his shoulders." stuffed it into his mouth."

Li Jingchen smiled, "Let's go there." After a lifetime, his temper has improved a lot. When he was young and frivolous, he was not irritable and irritable.

Qi Chengxuan and the middle-aged man sat facing each other for a long time, the eagerness on his face disappeared, and he turned into a stupefied look again, he didn't know what he meant by pretending to be like this now, and the middle-aged man's face was full of cheeks. Hu covered his expression, making it impossible for people to know his emotions. The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while, and no one spoke to break the deadlock until Xiaoer put everything together.

Li Jingchen and Jiang Bining sat at the adjacent table. At first they asked a few servants to sit with them, but seeing that they were so stiff that they didn't even know where to put their hands and feet, they simply opened another table to give Qi Chengxuan and Ning Zhengchang enough personal space , It's just that the two of them didn't speak a word after half the salary. From the corner of Li Jingchen's eyes, he saw Qi Chengxuan pretending to be stupid again, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Could it be that he would be relatively silent until he went back?It will be difficult to leave the palace in the future!

Although he was anxious for Qi Chengxuan in his heart, Li Jingchen didn't show anything on his face. He slowly soaked the pancakes into the mutton soup. The scorched pancakes absorbed the mutton soup and became plump. Yes, but with slightly elastic teeth, chewing carefully, the lips and teeth are fragrant, the umami taste of mutton, the sweet and burnt aroma of cakes are mixed in the mouth, a kind of beautiful enjoyment, what Xiaoer said is true, it really is Once you eat it, you will never forget it.

It was also approaching noon, half a child was growing his body, his stomach was already empty, he ate a big pancake, drank a bowl of mutton soup, ate a lamb rib, then stopped, turned his head and looked Look, Li Jingchen is dumbfounded, what about people! ?

"Cousin, where are Shi Shao and his uncle?" Li Jingchen hurriedly asked Jiang Bining who was sitting on the side.

Jiang Bining took out a towel and wiped his mouth before saying, "I left while you were eating soup!"

"..." How could Li Jingchen not know.

Jiang Bining shook his head, his cousin is very smart, how could he lose his head when he was eating, his highness deliberately stopped beside Li Jingchen when he was leaving, but his cousin was so busy drinking soup that he didn't even have a living person standing beside him Know.Jiang Bining made a "tsk tsk" sound, the face was so dark when His Highness left, it was really unforgettable.

"Where did they go?" After asking, Li Jingchen felt something was wrong, and pressed his forehead and felt that his brain was soaked in mutton soup, "Oh, this is not what I should ask, did Shi Shao say when he will come back, if If the time interval is long, we can stroll around the West Market."

"Brother Chen, don't push yourself too hard, you are still young, so you don't need to be careful in everything." Jiang Bining frowned, feeling that Li Jingchen was pushing himself too hard, and he was a little out of breath, "Ten young master said We will go back together before Mulan Tang, and the time during this period is our own, the West Market is full of fish and dragons, follow me closely later, don't run around."

After listening to his cousin's words, Li Jingchen felt warm in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose to reveal the joy in his heart, but there was also bitterness in the upward arc, why didn't he want to be as unrestrained and unrestrained as a 12-year-old boy, according to his own temperament Nonsense, but after a lifetime, his mentality is already different, how can he relax in the face of the current situation.

"Cousin, I know, I won't force myself."

"That's it." Jiang Bining nodded, "I'll take you around after eating, the Western Market is a lot of fun, and some gems and jewelry from the Western Regions are also exquisitely made. Although they are not very expensive, I bought them and brought them back It’s a nice gift to give away, and it’s a thought.”

Li Jingchen also thought of it, but when his cousin said it, it had a different meaning. It was because his relatives were thinking for him, and the meaning was different.

Over the past hundred years since the founding of Daqi, although there have been frictions and injustices between the Northwest and the Xiongnu, Lingnan and the Nanman tribes from time to time, the overall situation has been smooth and peaceful. The prosperity of Daqi has attracted many people from the Western Regions to do business and come to the imperial capital Afterwards, they could do business in the West Market after registering with the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture. Some people who did well even married wives and had children in the imperial capital, took root in this land, and became a part of Daqi.

The prosperity of the West Market can only be understood by those who have seen it with their own eyes. There are people coming and going on the street, there are Daqi people with black hair and black eyes, and Hu people with brown hair and blue eyes. There are many people in Daqi doing business.There are a variety of shops on both sides of the street, some selling leather goods, some selling gems and curios, some selling herbal medicine and animal bones... It is dazzling to see.There are a total of four streets in West Market, each of which is extremely long, and it must not be enough time to go through each one. Jiang Bining is very familiar with West Market, so he picked out the better ones and took Li Jingchen there.

But Jiang Bining deliberately led Li Jingchen to avoid the last street in the West Market, and Li Jingchen didn't ask questions curiously. In his last life, he always hung around there with the wealthy family. In the land of sensuality, the business is quiet during the day, and the busiest time is at night. The Flower Alley in West Market has become the most famous place for fun in the capital.

Jiang Bining took Li Jingchen to a gem jewelry shop. The shop was a barbarian woman with a gauze scarf, her blue eyes were as quiet as clear water, her fair skin and long flaxen hair made people feel good about her, unconsciously I want to find out what the face looks like under the veil.

Although Daqi was not as harsh on women as in the previous dynasty, there were no women who came out to run a house and open a shop, and only those who had no choice but to show their faces.It's really rare for a woman like Hu to run a store herself, and there are even righteous Central Plains people who despise women's manners, but Hu Nu's shop does have some good things.

"What do the two young masters want, beautiful gems, exquisite jewelry, or something else." The woman's voice was very clear, and the official language had a strong exotic taste, but it would not let people listen don't know.

"Is there any sapphire, the texture is better." The sapphire is calm and thick in color, which is very suitable for elderly women to wear. Li Jingchen intends to buy it back and let the old lady make a set of jewelry.

"Yes." The shopkeeper took out a box of gems from the counter.

Uncut gemstones look low-key and dull. Li Jingchen held them in his hand for a closer look, then shook his head and put them down, "There are impurities, not clear enough, and the colors are mixed."

The store took out another box, but didn't open it, "The quality of this one is much better, but the price..."

"The price is not a problem, as long as the things are good." Li Jingchen was afraid that Qi Chengxuan would need the money when he went out, so he brought a lot, and what his uncle gave him later, it was enough.

The store opened the box, and there were not only sapphires, but also gorgeous rubies and mysterious purple gems. The appearance was not comparable to the previous ones, "I want them all, let's make a price!" The store has such good things.

Seeing a good gem, the good brother was immediately moved. The ruby ​​can be used as a dowry for the younger sister, and the purple gem can be used as a bride price for the younger brother. They are all excellent things when they are carved.

Jiang Bining pushed Li Jingchen away, and saw that Li Jingchen didn't buy things often, no matter how much money he had, he had to save it, because the money his parents gave him was always limited, and Jiang Bining didn't have the drive to squander like other princes from aristocratic families.Under Jiang Bining's clever tongue, a box of gems was sold for 570 taels, and a dagger was also built. The dagger was not long, only the length of an adult's palm. Iron as mud but also extremely sharp.

When he was about to leave with two things, Li Jingchen stopped in front of a cage, inside which was a wrinkled puppy, more than three months old, lying limply in the cage, covered in yellow skin Wrinkled and looks like it has been badly ravaged.

"A friend gave this to me. I gave three of them in total. I raised one, gave one away, and the other one is here. Do you like it? If you like it, you can take it back!" Put the puppy here It's been a while, but few people stop, even if they stop, they will dislike the ugly puppy.Raising a dog depends on the eye, she thinks the young man in front of her will like this little sharpie.

Li Jingchen bent down to look at the puppy inside. At this moment, the limp puppy raised its limp neck and opened its drooping eyelids. The eyes inside were black and bright. Li Jingchen fell in love with it at first glance. "How much?"

"Just give me a tael of silver." The store didn't say to give it to Li Jingchen directly. She is a businessman, and Li Jingchen is a guest, so of course it must be in business.

"Okay, I want it."

Li Jingchen hugged the puppy with a blanket. The puppy looked limp, but it had some weight. Its layers of skin were covered with soft short hairs, and it felt soft and warm to the touch. "Xiao Mo'er, Shen'er and the others will definitely like it."

Jiang Bining looked at the puppy in distaste, "It's wrinkled and looks silly. What's so good about it? If you want to raise a puppy, I can get you a mighty mastiff. A strong man on the grassland can fight when he grows up." Lion. What can this do, foolishly amusing? Raising a mighty mastiff can protect Xiao Moer from being bullied in the inner courtyard!"

"..." It's not like there are wolves, tigers and leopards waiting in the inner courtyard of the Li family, Li Jingchen was speechless for a while and then said: "It's cute, cousin, don't say that."

Jiang Bining spread his hands, "Okay, I like it the strongest."

After shopping, he went back to Hu's Bakery, and Qi Chengxuan came back after a while, and there was no one else by his side, so Ning Zhengchang should go back first.When they stepped into the bakery, Qi Chengxuan's face was fine, but when they all boarded the carriage, Qi Chengxuan's face turned dark, and he lifted the curtain to look out with a gloomy face, not intending to talk to Li Jingchen.

I don't know if it was because he was too busy drinking soup to pay attention to Qi Chengxuan. Now, seeing Qi Chengxuan's dark complexion, Li Jingchen felt a little guilty. After thinking for a while, he took out the dagger that was given away from his bag, "Your Highness, I think the dagger is good, just I bought it, Your Highness looks good!"

Qi Chengxuan shifted his gaze to the dagger in Qi Chengxuan's hand, and said perfunctorily, "It's okay."

Li Jingchen said with a smile: "But I look pretty, and I want to give it to Your Highness..."

"Oh, that's pretty good." Snatching the dagger from Li Jingchen's hand and stuffing it into his arms, Qi Chengxuan folded his arms and leaned against the carriage with his eyes closed, his face not as gloomy as before.

Li Jingchen pursed his lips and smiled, Qi Chengxuan was just a bit of a twitch, sometimes just coaxing him.

Jiang Bining closed his shocked open mouth, and looked away stupidly, whether he should tell His Highness that the dagger is free and free.
