Chapter 84 Happy Hour Next
In the eyes of herdsmen, Geqiong City is not so much a king city as a big market. There are six markets in the city. The clothing market is in the east of the city, which is not too far from the place where He Ran and they live. Now is the busiest time for herdsmen to reserve forage for the next winter, so the market is relatively deserted,
Xiao Xiao finally didn't let many relatives accompany the guards. She always didn't like to show off. The formation of the front and back made her uncomfortable. This is the so-called bold man of art. She was sure that even if someone wanted to harm He Ran, they would not dare to gather people. If it was just a few murderers, she could completely deal with it alone. In case, she let Yunye He followed Xiaoling secretly, and he put on a veil and put a big leather hat on He Ran. People who are not familiar with them should not recognize them.
Of course, the grassland clothing sold in this season is mostly fur products, and the grade is very different. They are basically sheepskin. Fox skin, wolf skin, leopard skin and other products can also be seen occasionally. Although the style of weaving is relatively simple, the color is bright and eye-catching. The jewelry made of various colors of jade and gold beads and silver pieces of the grassland specialty are very regional. Amorous feelings, Xiao Xiao likes these very much. As long as it is hand-made and exquisite, he is willing to buy it. Most of the transactions here are mainly barter. He is very happy to meet the main customers and sellers of real gold and silver.
Most of the sellers are herdsmen who produce and sell themselves, and the price is very real. Even the sellers who make a living by selling are few treacherous people. On the contrary, several vendors who sell goods in the Central Plains ask for a very high price, and their eyes are shrewd,
Xiao Xiao's shopping desire at this moment is more than that in Xuanding City. Almost every stall has to stop for a while. He happily compares himself with all kinds of clothes. As long as he thinks it's suitable, let He Ran pay. Yunye and Xiaoling, who had not gone far to be secretly protected, have to appear to carry their bags.
He Ran saw that most of the clothes she bought were of a slightly smaller size. He guessed that she should have bought them for Su Xiyao and others, so as long as Xiao Xiao picked up a piece and asked him for advice with his eyes, he nodded. The accompanying woman did not know the inside story. At first, he kindly reminded her that when she saw Wang Jia just smiled, she no longer talked too much.
When he came to the stall of a pair of boys and girls, Xiao Xiao saw that most of them were lovers who were interested in taking care of their business. There were only two sets of clothes in front of the girl, one of which was new and the other was obviously worn. Xiao Xiao looked at the new set. Although there was nothing surprising, he did not hesitate to buy it. Seeing He Ran fiddling with a machete in front of the man, he immediately said, "Buy it."
He Ran didn't want to spoil her interest and paid together. The man and woman were very happy. The girl held the semi-new suit and said eagerly, "Just give me some money."
Xiao Xiao shook his head with a smile. Seeing that the ebony accessories on her chest were very distinctive, he said to the female translator, "Ask her if the ornaments hanging on her chest are for sale."
After listening to the female interpreter's inquiry, the girl stroked the accessory's eyes with her hand but looked at the man beside her. The man nodded to her, reached out and took the accessory for her, and handed it to Xiao Xiao's hand.
"They want us to give a price." Female translator said to Xiao Xiao,
Xiao Xiao saw that the look of the two of them had guessed that most of them had special significance to them. Obviously, he was willing to sell this kind of thing in urgent need of money, so he smiled and said, "Three taels of silver."
The female interpreter thought she had misheard it. She looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise and said, "This thing is not even worth a penny."
Xiao Xiao nodded to her with a smile, indicating that he was clear in his heart, "Three taels, ask them if they want to sell it."
Female interpreter had no choice but to quote a price,
The man was stunned when he heard the price. He couldn't help grabbing the girl's hand with surprise on his face. After looking at the girl, he saw the girl shaking her head gently. He nodded to the girl and turned to Xiao Xiao and said, "This is not worth so much."
The female interpreter knows the simplicity of Fanren very well, and she is not surprised by this. She truthfully translates it to Xiao,
"Tell them that I know this is a very special thing, and I'm willing to pay this price."
He Ran said to the female interpreter, "If you want to be generous to me and do good deeds, you can fulfill her."
The female interpreter smiled and turned her head to show Xiao Xiao's intention to the man and woman,
The man and woman salute Xiao Xiao excitedly and gratefully. The girl herself hung the accessory around Xiao Xiao's neck. What did Zhencheng say?
The female interpreter said, "She said that you are the most beautiful woman in the world. May the god bless you to be as happy as the clouds in the sky."
Xiao Xiao gently touched the girl's cheek and said, "You are also beautiful. May all your wishes come true."
Just after the female translation, a man in his forties suddenly broke in and hit the man. The man didn't seem to dare to fight back and argued loudly. The girl looked at the man with fear,
Xiao Xiao frowned, and the female interpreter whispered, "Listen to the words, this man is the man's father. He doesn't seem to want his son to interact with the girl."
Dearing that it was a housework, Xiao Xiao knew that it was not easy to interfere. She looked at the man pulling the man away angrily. The girl looked at their backs and couldn't help wiping her tears, looking extremely pitiful.
After the onlookers dispersed, Xiao Xiao still refused to leave. He ordered the female interpreter to ask for details. After a conversation, the female interpreter said, "The two fathers are horse brothers. The two families have a very good relationship, so they have a marriage for them. They don't want to be a natural disaster. The girl's father was killed while doing business abroad, and the goods were looted. She owed a lot of debts. Her mother couldn't bear the blow. She couldn't afford to get sick and borrowed some debts for medical treatment. The man was affectionate and righteous. He often took money from his family to help the girl's family, but the man's father wanted to regret his marriage when he saw that her family was heavily in debt. After knowing his son's behavior, he would never let him touch the family's money again. The woman must prepare enough dowry for the two to get married. The day after tomorrow is the original happy day. The two of them borrowed money everywhere, but they still didn't have enough of the dowry asked for by the man's father, so they had to come here to sell their belongings.
Xiao Xiao was furious when he heard this and regretted that he didn't teach the treacherous man a lesson just now.
He Ran sighed and said to the female translator, "Ask her how much she still has to pay."
After asking, the female interpreter said, "The king just gave me three taels of silver, and the difference is not much. One or two should be enough."
He Ran went out and handed five taels of silver to the girl. The girl hurriedly refused and dared not answer,
Xiao Xiao looked at He Ran unhappily and said, "Why are you so stingy? Her family owes so much debt. What's the point of money?"
He Ran took out the money bag and said aggrievedly, "I don't know how many things you have to buy next. It's all here. You can give it to me."
Xiao Xiao took the money bag and stuffed it into the girl's hand without looking at it. He said, "I'll give it all to you." With that, he snatched the five taels of silver from He Ran's hand and stuffed it to the girl,
The heavy money bag scared the girl, and her little face turned red,
He Ran saw that someone was surrounded again, so he said to Xiao Xiao, "Take her out of here first and go to a clean place."
Xiao Xiao ordered the female interpreter to pack some sundries on her booth, and she pulled the girl out of the market quickly.
When he came to no one's place, Xiao Xiao took off the veil and took the girl's hand and said, "This money is nothing to me. Just take it at ease, and you don't have to pay me back."
No matter what Xiao Xiao said, the girl just refused to accept it. In the end, she timidly asked Xiao Xiao to buy all her remaining items with a tael of silver, so that she would be grateful.
Xiao Xiao was pitiful and loving to her. She insisted on giving her a purse. When the female interpreter saw that Wang Jiacheng wanted to help her, she whispered, "If Wang Jia really wants to love, it's better to condescend to have a sister with her. According to the grassland custom, the sisters should communicate with each other's wealth and physics, and she will not refuse."
Xiao Xiao was overjoyed. The girl listened to the words of the female interpreter and waved her hand repeatedly, saying that she did not dare to climb high. Xiao Xiao knew that she was timid and asked the female translator about the rules of changing her handkerchief. She was semi-forced to become a sister with the girl. It was not until now that she knew that her name was Qiong Sang Biye. In order to avoid that she could not afford it, Xiao did not dare to reveal her true identity. /P>
Qiongsang Biye was rushed into her arms by Xiao Xiao's true emotion and cried. Since her father's death, her grievances in her heart have been vented at this moment. When Xiao Xiao finally stuffed her purse in her hand and opened it, her eyes were straight, and most of them were gold. This wealth was too big for her, and she wanted to refuse. ,
Xiao Xiao began to be righteous when she became a sister. She forced her to accept it and said with a smile, "Go and prepare the dowry."
Qiongsang Biye hugged Xiao Xiao on the face and kissed her and said, "My sister is really beautiful. I must come the next day. If you don't come, I will never get married."
Xiao Xiao agreed happily, asked the place and told her affectionately for a while before urging her to prepare the dowry. Qiong Sang was reluctant to leave,
"You have become her god." He Ran joked,
Xiao Xiao was in an extremely good mood and said to Yunye, "Go and send all your things back, withdraw some more money, and I will buy clothes again."
He Ran pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Why don't you let Xiaoling go back to withdraw money and spend all my money?"
Xiaoling raised his eyebrows and said, "Spend your money to give you face."
Xiao Xiao looked at Xiaoling with admiration and pulled her to the market,
Finally, she bought enough clothes, and Xiao Xiao proposed to go to other markets, because she had to buy big wedding items for her new sister,
He Ran smiled and said, "You really take this knot seriously."
Xiao Xiao stared and said, "What are you talking about? Oh, only a righteous man like Fan can be regarded as a righteous man, right? My sister is poor, so you can not take her seriously, right?"
He Ran was choked and blinked and said, "Okay, I'm wrong. Then you must go to the ceremony the next day, right?"
"Of course, you have to go too." Xiao Xiao said unruly,
Without waiting for He Ran to speak, Xiaoling frowned and said, "This is also for you."
Xiao Xiao stared at Xiao Ling this time,
