Feast of Rebirth

The journey was long, and the two traveled day and night, cautiously.When they finally got to the foot of the imperial city, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

This dangerous job is finally over.

The two went back to the inn first, and everything was as usual, as if they had only been out for a day, after Yun Congfeng settled down, he went back to Qingping Division to report.

Qingping Division has nothing to do recently, the only thing to be nervous about is that the prince is about to get married. Qingping Division, as a part of the security work in the imperial city, has stepped up the investigation and registration of monsters in the city. The department in charge is always lined up with monsters. It was extremely noisy.

"Hey, are you back? Where have you been for so long?" Quan Hongfang, who was holding a large stack of documents, passed by and said hello, and Yun Congfeng responded with a smile: "I went back to my hometown."

"You can still go home and have a look." Quan Hongfang sighed, and left without talking much.

When Yun Congfeng returned to his work station, he didn't see He Zhici just now, so let's look for it at noon.

Busy until noon, I followed the big guys to start the stove for dinner. I haven't seen He Yici yet, so I asked, and only then did I know that He Yici was going to prepare for a big wedding.

He had no choice but to postpone the matter again and ask for leave, and went directly to He Mansion to find someone.

The housekeeper of He Mansion was unexpectedly polite, and took him to see He Yici without talking nonsense.

Yun Congfeng came in and took a look, huh huh huh, Double Happiness is sticking up.He Zhici sat behind the desk holding a book like a brick: "I'm back, I'm sorry, I stayed at home these days and didn't go to work, let's sit down."

He told the book boy to get some snacks, put down the book: "What's the result?"

"There are phoenix bones, there is the stench of children's essence and blood, there are pearl powder, morning beauty flowers, and sunset." Yun Congfeng said what the senior sister said, "there is a high probability that it is the same medicine for beauty."

"It's expected, it's reasonable." Why Ci was not surprised, with no expression on his face, he talked about another matter: "Yun Congfeng, your friend Bai Jiu is getting married too."

Yun Congfeng was surprised: "With whom?"

"Guess." He Zhici laughed.

Yun Congfeng smiled bitterly: "I don't know the name of his blind date... only one, Zhao Qingxiao? He seems to be quite afraid of her?"

"I guessed right by mistake." He Zhici clapped his hands, took a snack and ate it, "Although we can't deal with it, but there are parents to help us. If we don't deal with it, we can make do with it."

"I see." Yun Congfeng didn't know what to say for a while, "What about you? When will you get married?"

"It's the same day as the prince." He Yici smiled happily, "Bai Jiu, too, was specially approved by the emperor, let's have fun together. You came just in time, here's the invitation." He took a blank invitation from the drawer and wrote Xia Yun Congfeng's name: "By the way, don't you have a daughter-in-law?"

"Ah?" Yun Congfeng didn't react immediately, and suddenly became embarrassed: "Yes, yes."

He Zhici glanced at him: "Your reaction is very strange, what's the secret? I got promoted and my wife wants to divorce?"

"How could I be such a person!" Yun Congfeng looked embarrassed, "Well, he...he doesn't come out very often."

"That's right, I haven't seen you take her out before." He Heci added "Mrs. Ji" after the name, and paused, "Do you have any children?"

"No."

Why Ci looked at him for a while, his eyes seemed to say that you can't do it, bro: "It's been a few years, haven't you?"

Grass.

"Busy." Yun Congfeng responded stiffly.

He Zhici asked seriously: "Are you really not good? Don't worry, I'm not a bad-mouthed mother-in-law. I will keep this matter absolutely secret for you. It is no problem to invite the imperial doctor from the palace."

Yun Congfeng's eyes darkened, and it was all going on: "It's really not because of this! What the hell is going on! I have nothing wrong with me, I live as long as I love it!" He was annoyed.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." He Zhici put down his pen and dried the ink, "It's been a hard trip for you, did you meet any assassins on the way?"

"Of course there is."

"No internal injuries left?"

Yun Congfeng thought for a while: "Let's have some life-prolonging elixir."

"No problem." He Yici closed the invitation and smiled meaningfully: "I wish you an early baby."

Give birth to your head.Yun Congfeng accepted the invitation, slandering him.

Walking on the street, Yun Congfeng looked at the date of the invitation first, and there were still several days left.He remembered what he said to Hu Yan, he wanted to buy him a drink, he touched his pockets, he still had some money, what kind of wine should he buy?Buy expensive ones.

By the way, I picked up some stewed vegetables.

Because the prince is about to get married, the streets are much cleaner than before. The streets where the prince is going to greet his relatives are hung with lanterns with the word "Happy", and the red silk hooks under the eaves are bright and festive.

Yun Congfeng walked and watched, feeling a little disappointed and a little envious, and he didn't know what he was envious of, anyway, it was sour, sour.

Taking a closer look, it seems that there are more men and women in pairs on the street, going out in pairs, chatting and laughing, flirting, Yun Congfeng feels more and more uncomfortable: What's going on?Hey everyone!Converge!

Sour is sour, those who should go back to work still have to work.Yun Congfeng was bored, he was supposed to make up shifts today, so he just made do with a hasty meal in Sili and worked till night, only Quan Hongfang was with him.

When he got off the night shift, Quan Hongfang saw Yun Congfeng carrying a jar of wine in one hand and a few bags of stewed vegetables in the other, and couldn't help but tease: "Brother, do you have any happy event today? You bought so many things?"

Yun Congfeng suddenly felt revengeful: "My wife celebrates her birthday."

"Happy birthday? You buy these vegetables and you're done? Isn't it too shabby?" Quan Hongfang folded his arms, with an expression of "I don't think you understand at all": "At least buy her a hairpin, or Makeup powder and balm. Is this what you are? Is this what?”

Speaking of presents, Yun Congfeng remembered that he had given them before, but he hadn't seen Hu Yan wear them since then... Could it be that he didn't send them on the right idea, didn't he like it?Suddenly discouraged: "I don't know what he likes."

Quan Hongfang choked, and felt sympathetic: "It's hard work for your daughter-in-law to be willing to be an idiot like you."

Yun Congfeng gave up on himself: "He has everything, what do you want me to give?" After all, Hu Yan likes to lie on the roof, so why not build him a big shiny roof inlaid with colorful five treasures, gold and jade?

"Hey, then you are a good wife, Miss Dahu?"

The son of the fox mother, right? "yes."

Quan Hongfang touched his chin, held back for a long time, and said: "Flowers are stuck in cow dung."

"Yes, yes, that's what you said."

"But why don't you go so far? It really doesn't make sense. Is the night market still open? Why don't you go shopping?" Quan Hongfang blinked his eyes.

In fact, today is not Hu Yan's birthday, and he only promised to buy him a drink, so how could it be a gift?Hey, it's rare to chat with this old man, forget it: "That's fine."

In the evening market in the imperial city, there are supper stalls, fireworks workshops, many demons, and all kinds of shady things, both real and fake, that are sold here.

"It is said that [-]% of them are fake?"

"Anyone with discerning eyes can buy real goods. I like to shop here when I have nothing to do."

"You still have this hobby? Have you seen any real ones?"

"Of course, it's just... hehehe." Quan Hongfang patted his flat pocket, "I'm so shy."

"If you want to buy something, I can recommend a few for you."

"I can afford what you can't even afford? Why do you care?"

"What are you talking about!" Quan Hongfang punched him, "I don't need to buy it, even if I buy it, I won't need it!"

What Quan Hongfang said was the jewelry in Bao Workshop.

There were no customers in Baogongfang at night, probably because it was too boring, Xiao Er was very enthusiastic about the only two customers.Four exhibition boxes covered with hairpin bracelets were taken out, and the gold, jade and colorful treasures complemented each other, dazzling the eyes.

Yun Congfeng stared blankly and said, "Is this... all true?"

Quan Hongfang turned his arm, and Xiaoer said generously: "These, some are collected from pawnshops, some are made by our own, some are real, some are fake, otherwise, why compare them with others? They are cheap. As for which ones are fake and which ones are real, I don’t know. I’m just a seller, regardless of whether it’s real or not. Look at it, guest officer, the price of these things is the same price, ten taels of silver, no discount.”

Yun Congfeng pulled off the bracelets and necklaces, weighed a few of them, some were rough and inferior, some were clever, some were fake, it was hard to find without careful observation, and a small part seemed real or fake, hard to judge.

As for fakes, the production cost must be much lower than ten taels of silver. There are real products in a pile of fake things, tempting people to gamble. If you have no experience, the result of the bet is [-]% and you will get fake ones. It is difficult to distinguish if you are not an old fritter For genuine products, the store is almost guaranteed to make a profit.

Although it is fake, this thing is really flashing, Yun Congfeng suspects that there is something wrong with the arrangement of the lamps and candles in the store, otherwise how could they flash so strongly.He stared at it for a while, and then his eyes hurt a little bit. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Is there any more plain ones? It's too fancy."

"Sujing ones? Yes!" Xiao Er put down the two boxes, and found two other boxes. She said they were Sujing, but they were not so pure, at most they were not as bright as the previous ones.

Quan Hongfang accompanied him to choose together, and he spoke clearly and enthusiastically.This made Yun Congfeng suspicious, which was too much like a trust: "Old Quan, why are you so experienced?"

"My old father-in-law used to do this, and he also taught me some things, but I'm not interested in this, so I know what's going on, and I don't know how to do it." Quan Hongfang still smiled, but revealed a feeling of loneliness .

Yun Congfeng oh oh, rationally did not continue to ask.There were so many miscellaneous things in the box, he wanted to pick out a relatively plain one that looked like a man's, and it took him a long time to choose a similar one: it seemed to be a red sandalwood hairpin body, and the head of the hairpin was wrapped in silver. A slightly transparent blue gem, cut into a hill shape, the top of the hill is milky white like cloud and snow.

"That's it!" I really didn't want to keep staring down.

"Oh? The guest officer has good eyesight. This hairpin is very beautiful. Do you want to wrap it up? Who is it for?"

"Let's take it, send it to my wife." At this point, I have to spend money.

"Then I'll pick a nice box for you." Xiaoer smiled, "This hairpin is called Yunshan Chuxue, and it's made by our shop."

Yun Congfeng became suspicious: "Your family is serious?"

"I only sell goods, so I don't know if it's real or not. Whether this hairpin is real or not, as long as it's good-looking, it's just good-looking."

"The prince got married recently, and there are many people who come to buy it. I wish the guest officer a happy and full moon, and see you again!"
