Dinon

Next to the medicine store is a well-known pawn shop in the town.

After Tuobachen brought Yuan Shuyi to the place where medicinal materials were sold, no matter how much Ren Yuan Shuyi tried to persuade her, she had to insist on selling embroidery samples at a cloth shop that sold embroidery. Yuan Shuyi refused, and her eyes were already red. The child became redder with a "swoosh".Yuan Shuyi saw that she was stubborn like a rabbit with red eyes, so she teased her, "Are you afraid that I will see you sell the money and steal yours?"

Tuo Bachen's eyes were red, and he was biting the sesame seed cake brought back by Yuan Shuyi in embarrassment. Same as promised.

"Hey, I haven't seen you so clingy before." Yuan Shuyi shook her head with a smile, and then patted her on the head, "Go back to the bullock cart at the south gate and wait for me after selling..." Seeing her absent-minded appearance, and worriedly asked, "Did you hear that?"

"Hmm..." Tuo Bachen looked like a child on the street for the first time, reluctantly looking at Yuan Shuyi for a few times before turning around and going to the cloth shop a few lanes away. She was an old acquaintance with the shopkeeper there. There her embroidery won't be lowered in price, so she can do something.Thinking about it, Tuo Bachen touched the one tael of silver that he had finally saved in his bosom again, and regardless of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, after making sure that he was out of Yuan Shuyi's sight, she almost jogged towards the shop.

Seeing her jumping up and down, Yuan Shuyi wanted to laugh in her heart, she is still a spoiled child after all.

Yuan Shuyi straightened the burden on her shoulders and walked to the herbal medicine shop on the left. Inside the burden were herbs she found in the woods and by the small river. They said they were herbal medicines, but most of them were ordinary things that could relieve heat and prevent insects. , although the variety is not very precious, it is a must-have item among the folks, and Tuo Bachen said that it is very popular in the town.

There are many people coming and going in and out of the herbal medicine shop. After all, it is almost midsummer. People in the town, men, women, young and old, all want to prepare some herbs to clear away heat and relieve summer heat at home so that they can get through the dog days with peace of mind.Yuan Shuyi didn't go in right away with the burden on his back, but took the lead in looking at the layout and interior decoration of the herbal medicine shop.Liang Xuyu told her before that the psychic herbal medicine is just like divination and voodoo. If the herbal medicine is not treated well, neither the seller nor the buyer of the herbal medicine will get any benefit. There is no benefit in the disease, and in severe cases, there is no cure.Before she wants to sell things, she has to see if her things will be ruined, right?

But she looked outside the door for a long time and didn't see anything in this herb shop. The reason is also very simple, she is not ventilated.

Instead, she stood so stupidly, which attracted the attention of many people who came to the shop to buy herbs.

Originally, Yuan Shuyi's appearance inherited her mother's coquettishness, and she grew up on the grassland. Compared with ordinary Central Plains women, her stature is slender. I am afraid that Tuo Bachen, who is regarded as a man by everyone, is about the same height as her .Now she is dressed in moon-white men's clothing, with a slender and tall figure, and the corners of her eyes and brows show some evil charm from time to time. Soon, some unmarried young women and some men who like Longyang noticed her.

In fact, Zhao’s national customs are relatively open compared to the surrounding Yue and Lian countries. The emperor who first ascended the throne more than ten years ago even conferred a few women to serve in the court, and the eldest princess of Zhao is the sister of the current emperor. He is the national teacher of Zhao State, responsible for all sacrifices and celebrations of Zhao State, and guarding the country of Zhao State.Because of Princess Zhao Guo's Qingyi appearance and extraordinary demeanor, which surpassed that of heaven and man, she was admired and admired by all people.Therefore, the emperor of Zhao State followed the public opinion and named the eldest princess as the protector of the country, and the eldest princess became a holy woman who can be seen from afar in the hearts of all people, and her elegant image has also become a symbol of Zhao State.

It is said that today's Holy Majesty, who was a little-known handyman in the folk more than ten years ago, couldn't help but marvel when he first saw the eldest princess, "If I get this girl, this life will be enough."

Cough... These secret affairs of the imperial palace are not something we ordinary people can find out, so let's talk about the folk customs of Zhao Kingdom.

Because the current emperor of Zhao Kingdom started from the common people, the laws of Zhao Kingdom do not have too many regulations on civil weddings and funerals, and because there were several examples of female ministers and eldest princesses in the past, There are not too many restrictions on women as agreed by convention. As long as women reach the age of marriage, they can also marry according to their parents' orders, or they can marry on their own.And those girls who are waiting for marriage, if they want to marry a young and handsome young man, they can give him an embroidered pouch sewn by themselves as a token, and let that man come to their home to propose marriage.

Now many women look at Yuan Shuyi, just like hungry wolves look at fat.

At present, men love beauty more than women, especially in slightly larger towns, some handsome young men, in order to become beautiful, drink some things like Wushi powder every day, but that is the day after tomorrow handsome.It's rare that there is a naturally beautiful man in front of him, and many Huaichun's hearts can't stand it.

Yuan Shuyi stared depressedly for a long time and still didn't see anything. She couldn't help but think of what that cheap man Tuo Bahong said to her, "A layman watches the excitement, an expert watches the way." go inside.But before she took a few steps, she was stopped by a petite woman.Yuan Shuyi narrowed her eyes, and vaguely dangerous information came out: Did she see that I was pretty, thought I was a vixen, seduced her husband, and now she is coming to settle accounts with me?Thinking about it, Yuan Shuyi hurriedly backed away, but who knew that she backed up, the woman followed, blushing, stuffed the crumpled embroidered bag into Yuan Shuyi's arms, and ran away shyly.

Yuan Shuyi looked at the crumpled embroidered bag in her arms, confused, why did she give me the unwanted rags?

But before she could recover, a lot of "rags" were stuffed into her arms one after another, and those girls, after stuffing them, sneaked a glance at her and ran away like a rabbit. There was no one to be found.Yuan Shuyi was even more surprised, she lowered her head to look at her attire, she was clean and talented, how could she look like a rag collector?

Yuan Shuyi shook her head, determined to ignore those crazy girls. She walked into the shop and saw a broom lying around the corner. She originally wanted to throw it away, but the moment she raised her hand, she felt a "broken broom" in her hand. The soft feel of the "cloth", as if she remembered something, she happily packed all the "rags" into the cloth bag she brought.And those girls who were peeking at her in the dark all returned home blushing with joy after seeing her actions, waiting for her to propose marriage.

On the other hand, Xiang Yuan Shuyi didn't know that he had incurred an unknown number of romantic debts, so he took the herbal medicine to the apprentice buddy in the shop with a smile on his face and waited for him to count the money for him!

The elementary school apprentice has a beautiful face, and has never seen such a monstrous person as Yuan Shuyi. The hand holding the scale trembled a little. Finally, under the reprimand of the master, he finished weighing her herbal medicine for Yuan Shuyi, and stammered to her. Said: "Guest... Guest officer, honeysuckle is one cent and one cent, licorice is two cents and one cent, Atractylodes rhizome is ten cents and one cent, Gastrodia elata is five cents and one cent... Guest officer, the total is three, two and three cents."

"So few?!" Yuan Shuyi was dissatisfied, she frowned, and stared at the guy with her seductive eyes, meaning that if you dare to lie to me, you will die!

Being stared at intently by a peerless beauty, the little apprentice's heart almost jumped out of his throat, he swallowed hurriedly, and stammered, "Guest officer... Although you have a lot of herbs, they are all... Most of them are honeysuckle... You..." Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shuyi interrupted with a black face, "Enough! Go get me some money."

"Hey..." Being treated like this by Yuan Shuyi, the little apprentice was so frightened that he immediately ran to report to his master and brought the money. "Guest officer...you go slowly..."

"Hmph!" Yuan Shuyi took the money from him very depressed, weighed the few taels in his hand, and became even more depressed.

As soon as she walked out of the shop door, she could still hear the clerk shouting behind her, "Guests come here often!" Then an old voice said, "You boy! You don't let a beautiful man go, and you even gave him an extra penny." , hurry up and give me the medicine! You are not allowed to eat tonight, and that one penny will be deducted from your monthly money!"

Hearing the faint voices of the young man begging for mercy and the old man beating and scolding behind him, Yuan Shuyi continued to walk forward depressed.She didn't care about that, she would come to this herbal shop often, otherwise where would she get the money, thinking, she was angry again, why is it so difficult to get money!

When she was about to go to Nanjiaomen to meet Tuo Bachen, she rolled her eyes and saw the pawn shop next to the pharmacy.

When she was in Kyoto before, Yuan Shuyi also learned a lot of things to play with flowers and birds, but what she likes most are gold and stone and other utensils, so she is most enthusiastic about pawn shops and antique shops, because there can be many rare objects there.If she sees rare jade, she can stay inside for most of the day without eating or drinking.Seeing this pawn shop right now, he didn't care about the agreement with Tuo Bachen, and walked in as soon as he raised his foot.

The shop is called "Zhiyanzhai". The plaque is made of mahogany as the base and red lacquer as the text, which is beautiful.As soon as Yuan Shuyi entered, she smelled a fresh fragrance, and she recognized that it was mugwort commonly used in the countryside, which has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, just like the wormwood she got for Tuo Bachen.The shop is not big, and there are some small things on the shelves made of neem wood, which are nothing more than Buddha statues that are rare in the country, and the statues of the birthday master. There is a poplar table in the southeast corner of the shop. The middle-aged man was sitting at the table with his head bowed and doing calculations with beads. In the silent environment, only the sound of "clicking" could be heard.

Xu heard the sound of footsteps, the man raised his eyes and saw Yuan Shuyi, put down the abacus in his hand with a quick smile, stood up and bowed to Yuan Shuyi, "Look inside, young master."

"No need." Yuan Shuyi shook his head, his expression was full of loneliness, "You don't have any good things here." It also caused me to make an extra trip.

With that said, Yuan Shuyi turned around and was about to leave.The shopkeeper probably saw that Yuan Shuyi's temperament was different from the peasants he had received in the past, so he hurriedly asked to stay, "Young master, it's not too late to take a look. I don't dare to boast. People from several villages near and far come to pawn things in my shop." Yes, maybe you will see what the young master wants."

Yuan Shuyi thought about it, yes, people say "the treasure is always in the folk", and it's still early in the day, and the time agreed with Tuo Bachen has not yet arrived, so I might as well go shopping first, just pass the time.She nodded and said to the shopkeeper, "I have the right to take a look." It means that I just have a look, but I may not necessarily buy it.

"Hey, take a look, guest officer." The shopkeeper also understood what she meant, and let her look on those shelves by herself, while he "crackling" in front of the table to settle the accounts.

Yuan Shuyi walked casually out of boredom, she didn't hold out any hope to see the treasure, but when she walked to the third shelf, she really saw the extraordinary and priceless treasure.
