There is no phoenix

Liu Xianglian said: "You don't need to worry about this, I now have more than 1000 silver from that dude in Guazhou, which is enough to buy a horse for my master."

Shui Rong patted Liu Xianglian on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Xianglian, why do you and I have to be so clear, let me respect your master's heart. You also know that a horse is just a little effort for me. Think again , Sister Daiyu and Fourth Miss are like real sisters, regardless of each other, why can't we two? Besides, we will see each other."

After hearing this, Liu Xianglian had no choice but to say: "Then follow the young prince!"

Shui Rong then smiled and said: "Xiang Lian, when you arrive in the capital, send their sisters back. You come to my house and pick out two good horses, one for your master and one for you. It's March, you have time Go to the Imperial Guard Camp to practice, and Ziying is there. Immediate skills are indispensable for the selection in April. I believe that with nearly a month of review, you will be able to show off your demeanor!"

Liu Xianglian said: "Although I seldom ride a horse these few years, I don't think it's very unfamiliar. As long as I return to the capital, I will work hard!"

Shui Rong said: "I know that the fourth girl is not only close to sister Daiyu, but also close friends with my imperial sister Miaoyu. Xianglian, Ziying is married now, and I will get married in August. I hope you can get married this year too. By then we The three of Ziying are good brothers, our wives are good sisters, and our children will be good brothers and sisters in the future, wouldn’t it be a joy in life?”

Liu Xianglian smiled and said: "With the young prince's words, I think we will!"

The two smiled at each other.

At this time, Daiyu and Xichun had also changed into girls' attire, when Shui Rong saw them, they deliberately stepped forward and said with a smile: "You two girls, you should go shopping with me today!"

The colorful screens of Zijuan and Xueyan couldn't help laughing.

Daiyu approached and bowed to Shui Rong, "Your servant obeys the orders of the lord!"

Xichun smiled and said: "Sister Lin really does learn like that! It's just that the prince and brother-in-law don't learn like that!"

Shui Rong said earnestly: "Why didn't I learn like that? Do it again!"

After Shui Rong finished speaking, he walked up to Xue Yan with a pompous air and said, "Xue Yan, why don't you lead me the way?"

Everyone laughed.

Seeing him, Shui An hurried forward with a smile and said, "Master, please disembark, I will accompany you to go shopping!"

Shui Rong couldn't help laughing and said: "Shui'an, I, a dude, didn't learn well, but you, a dude like a slave, learned it well!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, talking and laughing together, got off the boat and walked to Dezhou market.

It turns out that Dezhou City is located in the northwest of Shandong, facing Bohai Sea in the east, Taihang in the west, Jinan in the south, and Beijing and Tianjin in the north. The south gate to Shenjing, it is said that the story of Dayu who controlled the flood three times and could not enter the house also happened here.

Dezhou was originally called a county, and it was under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou in the Western Han Dynasty. In the third year of Kaihuang Sui Dynasty, the county was abolished as a state, and Ande County was changed to Dezhou, and the name of Dezhou came from this.

Daiyu Shui Rong Liu Xianglian and his party of eight people walked not far away talking and laughing, and saw a very lively street not far ahead, Daiyu suggested to go there for a stroll.

Seeing that Zijuan was holding a small bag in his hand, Shui Rong hurriedly asked with a smile, "Zijuan, what is that bag you are holding? Is it money?"

Zijuan nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, this is a bag of small silver coins that Uncle Lin gave us when we left the old house in Gusu. He said that it would be convenient to use if we disembarked to buy things on the way."

Shui Rong couldn't help laughing and said to Daiyu: "Sister Daiyu, you are well prepared, and the butler has also brought it."

Daiyu laughed and said, "You don't have any money to go shopping, so what are you going to do? Watch people buy and sell things and eat?"

Shui Rong said with a smile: "Well, today we buy food and eat, and Zijuan is responsible for paying. Zijuan, after you have spent all the money you brought, let Shui'an pay for it, how about you?"

Zijuan hurriedly said: "My lord, this money should be enough for us, and there are still a few silver ingots."

Seeing that Zijuan was serious, Shui'an hurriedly said: "Miss Zijuan, our master is joking, how can we let your girl's family pay for it when we come out, I will pay naturally. The young prince has already explained it."

A few people were talking and laughing, and they had already reached that street.The street is not very big, but there are many items on both sides of the street, and there is a constant flow of people.On one side of the street, there are all kinds of food, including grilled chicken, steamed jujubes, jujubes, donkey meat, small roasted quail, honey wine, dried chrysanthemums, etc. There are many varieties.On the other side, there are all kinds of Texas craft specialties, such as various handmade silk flowers, various cloths, straw hat braids, straw willow weaving products, exquisite folding fans, various sizes of porcelain, music pipes, clay figurines, lanterns, etc.

Shui Rong smiled and said to Liu Xianglian: "Xianglian, I'll bring some more back to Master later. Let's go shopping for a while and find a place to sit and eat, what do you think?"

Liu Xianglian said: "It's better to buy these foods when we go back later, so as not to be inconvenient to hold in our hands. Now that we have finished eating, we don't want to eat, but we can look at the things that are convenient to hold."

Shui Rong and Liu Xianglian were talking, when Daiyu came over and said, "Brother Rong, Brother Liu, let's go over there with Fourth Sister!"

After Daiyu finished speaking, she had already walked over.Xichun and Caiping had gathered around a stall, as had Daiyu, Zijuan and Xueyan, and she said to Liu Xianglian with a watery smile, "It seems that they are not interested in the food here, Xianglian, let's go shopping with them first. "

Xichun, Daiyu, Zijuan, Xueyan, and Caiping were happily looking at the various statues on the stall at this time, and they were very excited.Xichun had already picked out a red female doll, and two male dolls posing for martial arts training, turned around and smiled, "Look at the color screen, what a pretty doll!"

When Xichun turned her head, her face immediately turned red. It turned out that the person behind her was not a color screen, but Liu Xianglian.

It was rare for Liu Xianglian to see Xichun smiling so happily, her face was full of the shyness and excitement of her daughter's family, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister, there are so many people, I'll help you pick what you choose, you guys choose carefully."

Xichun looked back in some embarrassment, and saw that Caiping and Zijuan were also picking up clay figurines, so she handed the three clay figurines to Liu Xianglian and said, "Brother Liu, hold it for me first, and I'll take a look at it later."

Liu Xianglian was tall and tall, and hurriedly said to the old man who was still making clay figurines: "Old man, the eight of us are together, let them choose, and we will pay together."

The old man looked at Liu Xianglian, then at Shui Rong, who was also tall and handsome, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Girls and girls, you all look so handsome, why don't I make a real statue for you all?" Bar?"

Shui Rong said with a smile: "The eight of us, old man, how long will it take to pinch well?"

The old man smiled and said, "Young master, don't worry, the eight of you can pinch them in a while, very quickly. To tell you the truth, I can pinch hundreds of them a day."

Shui Rong was about to speak when Daiyu picked out a few dolls, took a look at them, and saw Shui Rong beside her, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Rong, look, this old man's hands are so skillful, he can pinch them like real ones." Same."

Seeing that Daiyu was happy, Shui Rong hurriedly smiled and said, "Then you choose carefully, if you want to buy as many as you want, I'll help you."

After hearing this, Daiyu put the statue in Shui Rong's hand, turned around and lowered her head to choose again.

Shui Rong saw that Liu Xianglian was also holding several statues in her hands, and the two of them looked at each other, and couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing.

Liu Xianglian said to the old man: "Old man, pinch one for each of the eight of us!"

The old man liked it, and said with a smile: "Okay, my lord, wait a moment, I will help you pinch the statue now."

After a while, Daiyu and the others had picked out quite a few clay figurines. Together with the ones in Liu Xianglian's hands, they picked a total of twenty: Daiyu had four male dolls and two female dolls, a total of six; Xichun had two male dolls and two female dolls. There are four female dolls in total, Zijuan has two male dolls and a female doll, totaling three, Xueyan has two female dolls, two male dolls, totaling four, and the color screen has two male dolls and a female doll, totaling three.

Seeing that Daiyu and the others had already picked out the clay figurines, the old man asked Shui Rong and Liu Xianglian to come closer, saying that the two of them hadn't made the clay figurines yet, and smiled at Daiyu Xichun and the others: "Girls, take a look." , Do you pinch it like it? If you are not satisfied, I will help you pinch it again. Just now you bowed your head, and the pinch may be different."

The colorful Zicuckoos retreated to the side, allowing Liu Xianglian and Shui Rong to approach.

Looking at the real-life portraits that have already been pinched, everyone couldn't help but nodded and praised: "It's really similar, this old man's hands are so skillful!"
