Chapter 7 Chapter 5 Clothes are not as good as new, spend a lot of money

Along the way, Yan Wei only felt extremely embarrassed: a man and a woman, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, coming back from the city early in the morning, it is inevitable that they will attract people's attention.Especially now that we have entered the city, the sky is bright, and there are more and more pedestrians around, and everyone stops to watch, point and point, this feeling is really uncomfortable. But Tong Shu didn't take it seriously, and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the posthouse first, take a shower and change clothes, and then go shopping for jewelry."

For a person who has lived in the city all year round, the most unfamiliar thing may be the posthouse in the city. Led by Tong, Yan Wei turned to the south of the city and arrived at the largest post in Huaidu. Yan Wei only felt that everything was fresh.Tong Shui gave a series of instructions, and soon a woman guided Yan Wei to take a bath and change clothes. This is a small room that is not full of feet, very low, with a charcoal fire, and the water vapor is dense, moist and warm. A curtain divides the small room into two rooms, inside and outside. There is a mat and a bed in the outside room, and a stack of new clothes on the bed.Opening the curtain, there was a huge skin bag hanging inside, Yan Wei touched it with her hand, the tentacles were warm, it must have been filled with hot water.At the lower end of the skin bag is a copper-cast bird's beak, which can be opened by hand, and the water will drip down.Below is a large bronze bathtub, which receives the water flowing from above. There is a small hole at the bottom of the bathtub near the corner of the wall, and a small hole is also opened in the wall facing the small hole.

Yan Wei quickly took a shower, loosened her hair and rinsed it, touched the back of her head, but there was only a lump, but no blood was seen, it must have been bandaged overnight, the bleeding had already stopped, and the injury was worse than expected Much lighter, the headache should be mainly caused by the wind and cold, not trauma, Yan Wei finally settled down. Opening the stack of clothes, Yan Wei was even more surprised. Although it was not Jiang Guo's embroidery, it was no less luxurious than the dress worn by the Goddess of the River. The underwear is made of silk and linen, the weft is linen, which is firm and crisp, and the warp is silk, which is soft and smooth, not as rough as pure linen, nor as cool and thin as pure silk.

The outer shirt is a crimson silk silk, woven with complicated geometric patterns and dark flowers, the edges are heavily inlaid, and there are cloud patterns made of gold.Yang Guo does not practice embroidery, but pays more attention to gold panning: that is, various gold thread ropes are tied on the cloth to form patterns, and then nailed with thin threads. Full and thick, more luxurious. At the bottom, there is actually a deerskin short jacket, with dark brown spots on the grass yellow background, lively and lovely.The right sleeve is slightly shorter, presumably specially designed for ease of work.

Yan Wei fell in love with her more and more, but she was not in a hurry to put on her upper body, she just turned her head sideways, let her long hair hang down, held a cloth towel in both hands, and gently patted her hair to make it dry faster. After a while, someone knocked on the door outside, it was the woman's voice: "Girl, are you ready?" Yan Wei hurriedly said: "Okay! Come!" Hastily tied up her hair, put on the leather jacket, and went out. Tong Shui had already been waiting outside the door, with his hair tied up in dark clothes, and he was dignified and generous. He really looked like a noble son from some country, and he was a different person from the cave.Tong Shi said: "The girl's family is troublesome. It takes twice as long as others to change clothes, which is slower than giving birth." This opening revealed the original shape.

Yan Wei didn't bother to argue with him, and said, "Then let's go quickly! Don't grind your teeth here." There was a carriage parked at the door, and Yan Wei wondered, "It's only a few steps away from the city, do you still need to take a carriage?" Tong Rate said with a smile: "Are you going to buy jewelry? Don't be ostentatious. Even if you have money, you can't buy it. Just listen to my arrangement!" The two got into the car, and the driver drove slowly, and there were even more people watching around. Tong Shu didn't seem to care about other people's gazes, and even felt a little proud.Yan Wei was uncomfortable in various ways, especially when she noticed that her clothes and Tong Shi's clothes were very similar in both fabric and pattern, so riding side by side in the car looked like a couple, and she couldn't help but blush.

After a short walk, we arrived at the largest jade shop in the city: Chu Zhenxuan. When the two got out of the car, Tong Shui took Yan Wei's hand and entered side by side. The eyes of the people in the shop were already staring straight at him. "Big business is here!" Tong Shui smiled, then turned to Yan Wei and said, "You can tell them everything you want to buy." After saying that, he turned around and sat down, knocked and said with a smile: "Don't take Would you like some wine?" The series of orders made the shopkeeper a little overwhelmed, and he smiled apologetically, "The shop doesn't have any wine, only some clear pulp. If the guest officer doesn't mind..."

Tong Rate interrupted the shopkeeper with a smile: "It's also made, it's hot, add more spices in it, the taste will be stronger, just drink it." The shopkeeper hurriedly ordered people to get some wine, and then came to Yan Wei's side to make amends and said with a smile, "What do you want, girl? You can draw it here." Yan Wei walked in the direction pointed by the shopkeeper, and saw a very smooth white stone. If you have pen and ink, you can draw what the guests want here, and after you wash it with water, you can reuse it. So Yan Wei recalled the styles and shapes of those jewelry, while explaining each and every one to the shopkeeper in detail, while sketching out the details.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, turned around and smiled at Tong Shuai and said, "Everything besides, the small shop can afford, only that topaz necklace, all of a sudden..." "If you don't have any, go find someone to transfer the goods. There are always some in the ghost market, right? But I'm in a hurry now, and I don't want to wait until dark. It's just cheaper and you can earn the profit!" Tong Rate continued to interrupt the shopkeeper If so, the attitude is as arrogant as treating a slave. The shopkeeper continued to make amends and said with a smile: "My lord, you are joking. How dare you sell the things in the ghost market in the open? Besides, I am a businessman who has no dealings with the ghost market."

Tong Shui sneered and said: "You just want to lie to a three-year-old kid, trying to scare me? You don't even look at who I am! You can't find topaz, white jade, red jade, black jade, or sapphire. Find a way, I want it now!" The shopkeeper had no choice but to call a clerk to give instructions in a low voice for a long time, and the clerk hurried out.The shopkeeper bowed to Tong Shui again: "I have already sent people to pick up the goods, please wait a moment. But... these goods are expensive, have you brought enough money?" After finishing speaking, he exaggeratedly looked outside the door , like ridiculing Tong Shui for not bringing his followers.

Tong Shu sneered slightly, but didn't say anything, just raised his head and drank the last drop of wine in the goblet, shook it lightly, put it down heavily, and sighed: "It's as light as water, it's really tasteless..." After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards the door go. The shopkeeper didn't know what he was going to do, so he tied his hands and followed him out. Tong Shui stood still at the door, looked up at the sky faintly, took out an object from his arms, and flicked it to the sky with his hand, the object shot upwards, making a shrill howling sound, which was heard for several miles, and then slowly fell down .Tong Shu stretched out his palm to catch it, and turned back into the room without saying a word. Yan Wei looked curiously and asked, "What is that?" Tong Shui smiled and opened his palm. It was a bamboo tube the size of a little finger, with some holes engraved on it, like a shrunken flute or whistle.Yan Wei picked it up and looked carefully, the bamboo tube must have been used for a long time, the surface is greasy and the color is very dark. "Can you blow it?" Yan Wei asked. Tong Shu shook his head: "No, it can only ring like that just now." Yan Wei clasped the bamboo tube with her index finger and thumb, and asked, "How did you do it, teach me." Tong Shui said with a smile: "You can't learn it. Only those who practice martial arts cooperate with their internal strength to shoot it out and make a sound. It takes several years of hard work." The shopkeeper was even more speechless. After a while, there were footsteps outside the door, a person came in, bowed slightly to salute Tong Li, handed over a small box painted with lacquer, and then stood there with hands down, without saying a word. Tong Shui opened the small box, and the room was full of brilliance. It turned out to be a box of gold, including gold cakes, gold ingots, and all kinds of golden bubbles.The shopkeeper opened his mouth slightly, his eyes straightened. Tong Shu smiled contemptuously and said, "Are these enough?" The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and said with an apologetic smile: "Enough is enough, rich and rich!" But he didn't take his eyes off the gold for a moment. The guy also came back, and opened a kit, inside was a pair of red jade adornments, almost the same shape as the topaz ones, only bigger and heavier. Tong Rate said with a smile: "This thing is really good! Can you see the light? Didn't you steal it? Don't hurt me!" The shopkeeper hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "How dare I harm my son, although the origin of this thing is not very righteous, but it can definitely be seen." "Oh?" Tong Shu picked up a piece of jade, smelled it under his nose, licked it with his tongue, and asked, "Which country's tomb?" The shopkeeper was startled, and said, "Oh! My lord, I really don't know anything! It's definitely not from Yang Guo, I swear to God!" Tong Shu sneered and said, "Hmph! As for being so scared? I'm just asking casually... Wrap everything up for me and settle the score!" The shopkeeper hurriedly ordered to pack it in a brocade box, while taking out a peg and weighing it to settle the accounts.Tong Shu went to bargain with the shopkeeper. Yan Weiqiong was extremely bored, so she only looked at the "follower" carefully. He looked like he was only twenty years old, and he was smart and capable. He looked like a follower, but he didn't have the lowliness of ordinary servants, and he was dressed like a commoner. He must have heard the whistle and rushed over. Yes, I don't know what it has to do with Tong Rate. Yan Wei took the jewelry and went to see Wu Hou without stopping.Seeing Yan Wei, Wu Hou was so startled that his eyeballs almost fell out, and said, "Miss Wei! You are still alive?! This is really fate. The four people may not survive. The person who went into the water to save people is also gone. This is the first time I have seen such a big Ling Xun, how did you come up? This is really the blessing of the god of the river." Yan Wei didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so she said flatly, "I'm good at swimming, you have chosen the right person." Wu Hou slapped her thigh and said: "That's true. I kept thinking in my mind that this matter must be done by Miss Wei, and it must be done by another person! Sure enough, I still have a lot of foresight, so let's do it now. Everyone is still worried, afraid of being punished by the king, now you can rest assured..." Tong Shui was impatient, opened the jewelry box, and said, "I lost all the jewelry, and this is for you. You can take a look." Only then did Wu Hou notice Tong Sui, and asked Yan Wei, "Who is this?" Yan Wei didn't know how to answer, she looked up at Tong Su, Tong Su said, "I'm her cousin." Wu Heng thought: "Cousin? That's your mother's family? Your mother has been away from home for several years. What's going on? How come such a wealthy cousin?" Yan Wei was annoyed when she heard her mention of "rich and rich cousin", and was even more upset when she saw her mentioning her mother's past, and was about to speak when Tong Shu said, "You don't need to worry about other people's housework, worry about it." The more you have, the faster you will age, no matter how much powder you put on, your wrinkles won't be covered!" After saying that, she pulled Yan Wei and turned around. As soon as she went out, Yan Wei couldn't help laughing and bent over.But Wu Hou chased after him and said: "By the way, two servants in black came to inquire about your situation this morning. It must be the king who wants to know if you are safe. Maybe there will be a reward! I expect to go to your house tomorrow to find you , you must stay at home and don't go out!" Yan Wei wanted to turn around and talk to her, but Tong Shu took her hand and left quickly.Yan Wei could only turn her head and wave her hand to show that she understood.
