Chapter 233 Encounter at the Water Moon Gate of the Fairy Capital
Jinsheng Lishui, jade out of Kungang.
Lishui is a good stream, and a good stream is Lishui.
Surrounded by Lishui, Chuzhou, the Longquan has been known as the sword capital since ancient times.
On the way, Mr. Mingyue didn't go south along the official road as well as watching the scenery along the edge of the good stream. Less than five or six miles from Lingquan Mountain, he could see the city of Chuzhou from afar.
There is a place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful. In ancient times, it can no longer be called beautiful mountains and rivers. There are beautiful scenery of immortal capital in the north, and Fengyang Mountain, which is known as Nanming Mountain and the cool world in the south. Although it is not as famous as Hangzhou, and the city is not as strong and tall as Hangzhou County, it is still picturesque, and the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is probably just like this. Mingyue The prince is in it, just like a picture.
The more the city was, the more traffic was, and the more people came and went. Mr. Mingyue had to get off his horse and entered the city of Chuzhou from the north gate. It turned out to be a prosperous capital with many shops. Mr. Mingyue came to Chuzhou for the first time. He asked and went straight to the largest blacksmith shop in the city.
Mr. Mingyue secretly said that it was a good place. He led the horse to shuttle through all kinds of people and came to the blacksmith's shop. At a glance, the blacksmith's shop in Longquan, Zhouzhou was indeed large and spacious enough. It seemed that there were several people who went into the yard, specializing in iron metallurgy to attract all kinds of business.
Mr. Mingyue tied the horse under the eaves and walked in with his hands on his back. The yard was full of tinkering metal impact, and occasionally there was a snoring quenching sound. An old blacksmith saw Mr. Mingyue coming in and said, "What do you want to make?"
Mr. Mingyue laughed and said, "Longquan Sword, can you forge it here?"
The old blacksmith nodded and said, "Yes, but the price is not cheap. Ordinary iron forged is at least 60 taels, jade steel forged is 180 taels, and 100 steel forged is at least 300 taels."
Mr. Mingyue said strangely, "Isn't there a difference in size?"
The old blacksmith smiled and said, "I don't know that the Longquan sword here is three feet and seven inches long according to the seven-star Longquan sword forged by Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang in ancient times."
Mr. Mingyue took out a few ingots of silver and said, "Give me a hundred steel-making. This is the fixed money. When will it be built?"
The old blacksmith took it and smiled, "You can forge it in half a day. Guest, what kind of hilt should you choose?"
Mr. Mingyue said, "I want the sword handle of red sandalwood and the purple sword ears. In this way, I will walk around the city and come back to get the sword."
The old blacksmith said, "Well, there are all of them. It's up to you."
Mr. Mingyue came out of the blacksmith's shop and walked away. He secretly said that he had to find a restaurant for lunch later. Thinking that he had asked Liuxiang what he needed for rouge gouache and so on in the dark, Xiangmei said that the war was coming and had no intention of dressing up. Mr. Mingyue thought of this, smiled, and hurriedly asked passers-by where to sell these. Flower powder, jewelry rouge.
"South of the city, outside Baihua Lane."
Mr. Mingyue followed the guidance of passers-by and went to the south of the city. Is Baihua Lane also a place to sell flowers? Unfortunately, let's buy a few bouquets of flowers for Xiangmei. The dust withered all the way and didn't look good.
Mr. Mingyue came to the south of the city, thinking that only women often buy rouge gouache. After asking for a long time, he was secretly strange. Every time he asked several girl liars or young women to inquire about where Baihua Lane was, they were surprised and contemptuous, and then hurried away, as if Mr. Mingyue was a pervert.
Mr. Mingyue was helpless and had no choice but to ask an old woman who sold pottery pots, "Do you dare to ask the old woman, is there any place to sell rouge gouache here?" Where is the Baihua Lane they said?
The old woman chattered, "The place that sells rouge is called Shuiyuemen. Follow this road and you can see it all the way to the east. Baihua Lane is Hua Street and Liu Lane, full of hidden doors. Although after passing Shuiyuemen, serious people generally don't go to that place. I see that the prince is young and has a good future. Don't go for Wonderful."
Mr. Mingyue was bereviled for a while, and he had to thank him. He was angry and funny. It turned out that Baihua Lane was a place where Qinlou Chuguan and fireworks gathered in Chuzhou. No wonder those women hid themselves when they heard it.
Mr. Mingyue looked all the way and came to Shuiyuemen. What he saw was selling rouge gouache and jewelry sachets, all kinds of them. These women often sell them at Shuiyuemen, presumably because they are close to the flower street and willow alley. There are many buyers and the business is particularly good.
Mr. Mingyue has not yet decided what kind of small things to buy for Xiangmei and two juniors, especially the mask with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes worn today. Although it has a heroic style, it is so conspicuous and uncoordinated to plunge into a group of skirts.
At this moment, I heard a familiar woman's voice nearby and said, "Sister, I was shocked. I thought it was him!" Look at the back!"
Mr. Mingyue glanced at the corners of his eyes and was suddenly surprised. He was talking to Qianhua, a wonderful girl from the unknown village, who was pulling Murong Hongxiu to walk around the water moon gate together.
I heard Hongxiu laugh and said, "I think you are thinking about it day and night. When you are enchanted, every prince looks like him, hehe, but it is rare for such a young man to come to Shuiyuemen to buy jewelry. Maybe it's still a gift for the sisters in Baihua Lane. Hey, I can see a lot of this kind of crazy lover."
Mr. Mingyue stayed for a long time, and they came too!
It turned out that Hongxiu went to Lingshan Temple in the morning and met the murderous judge of Quzhou Sanjue and the owner of Mochou Valley. Everything went well and it was settled. He came down early to see Qianhua and couldn't fall asleep. When Qianhua was called Qianhua to help her dress up and dress up after breakfast, the second daughter was so boring. She remembered that she would rush to the decisive battle tomorrow. Xiandu has a headache.
Finally, Hongxiu came up with an idea and said, "I have a good sister in Baihua Lane in Chuzhou City. My name is Shu Yuer. Now it's very boring. Why don't we go and find her to play? I haven't seen her for a long time.
The wonderful girl Qianhua was surprised and said, "But Shu Yuer, the same name as you!"
Red sleeves nodded: "Yes, do you know her?"
Qianhua smiled and said, "Ha ha, you two sing a song and the other dance red sleeves. One song and dance can be called a wonderful thing in the south of the Yangtze River. Even I often hear the name of your famous girl in the south of the Yangtze River in Lingnan. She is in Chuzhou. You should have gone to see her long ago."
Hongxiu smiled and said, "If you are willing to go with me, we will leave now. Don't talk to your landlord."
Qianhua smiled and said, "I know, who dares to tell him!" Isn't that not going?"
Although it is only five or six miles away from the Lingquan Mountain, Hongxiu still ordered Zhang to prepare a sedan chair, but it is always faster than Mr. Mingyue coming from Xiandu.
The two women came to the south of the state in a sedan chair. Before they arrived at Baihua Lane, they came to Shuiyuemen first. They had long been attracted by the beautiful and fun of this street. Qianhua was choosing left and right with Hongxiu. When they picked them up endlessly, they suddenly saw a young man coming. Qianhua looked at her back as if it were a bright moon. Zi, his heart moved, pulled the red sleeve and walked closer, but saw that the thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes were not the distant mountain eyebrows of Mr. Mingyue. With a small white face, Qianhua couldn't help but be disappointed.
At the beginning, Mr. Mingyue was shocked to hear how they came. Later, he didn't even recognize himself with red sleeves. He couldn't help laughing. He looked at them again with jewelry hanging. Mr. Mingyue pretended to be and followed him lightly.
Qianhua picked up a ruby earring and put it on, and asked Hongxiu, "Sister Hongxiu, look, is this ruby beautiful?"
Hongxiu nodded and said, "Well, it's okay, but I don't know if this ruby is real."
When Mr. Mingyue heard this, he patted Qianhua on the shoulder and smiled, "Of course it's true, but the color is not as good as sapphire earrings. How about I buy this exquisite one for you?"
The wonderful girl Qianhua was shocked. This voice is so familiar!
When Hongxiu first saw this thick-browed prince dared to pat Qianhua's shoulder, his temper had long been uncontrollable. He grabbed Mr. Mingyue's wrist with one hand and twisted it suddenly, but he heard Mr. Mingyue's voice, and his heart suddenly looked at him with a smile.
Mr. Mingyue did not resist and said with his back, "Okay, what's the point of arresting me!"
Red sleeves said, "Big pervert, it's really boring to touch a good woman in broad daylight and dares to move the earth on Taisui's head! I'll forgive you if you call me sister."
Mr. Mingyue smiled bitterly and said, "Oh! Are you also a good woman?"
Qianhua's face was confused and said strangely, "What a familiar voice! Who are you? Why do you talk so much like him?"
Hongxiu reached out and touched Mr. Mingyue's neck, tore off his mask, and said with a smile, "How dare the thief play tricks in front of me? Did you follow me all the way?"
Qianhua suddenly saw that this person was the prince Mingyue who thought about day and night. She was stunned and ate and said, "Sure enough, it's you!"
Mr. Mingyue smiled and said, "Well, it's me, ouch! Red sleeves still won't let go!"
Red sleeves suddenly laughed softly and said, "Hey! Did you follow along the way?
Mr. Mingyue smiled bitterly and said, "I'm here for another important matter. I just met you. How can I follow you all the way? God knows you're here too."
Hongxiu didn't believe it: "Go and lie to the devil. You have suffered so much for us Qianhua girls. Didn't you follow us all the way? Humph, don't admit it in person!"
Mr. Mingyue smiled more bitterly: "Oh, the world is so small. Who knows that I can meet you here? What a coincidence!"
The wonderful girl Qianhua couldn't help blushing. She pulled her red sleeves and said, "Good sister, let him go."
Hongxiu smiled and said, "You plead for mercy, okay, I'll let him go, oh, by the way! Mingyue, why don't you see him? What about him?
After saying that, he blinked at Mr. Mingyue and lost his charming eyes again. Mr. Mingyue knew it and smiled, "He, he cut off my sword on the top of the mountain. I came to buy a sword in Chuzhou. Now he may still be sleeping lazily in the sun. What do you ask him?"
Qianhua couldn't understand and said strangely, "What kind of riddle do you two play? Who is he?"
