Luoyang Brocade Chapter 43: Eye-catching


The next morning, the ship slowly stopped at the dock.

There are frequent boats on the river, and many docks have been built along the way for boating to rest and purchase.

In addition to the coolies carrying things, there are more vendors selling things on the dock. There are also some smart merchants who have built neat shops not far from the pier, selling some local specialties, tea, silk, satin, porcelain and the like. Rouge and gouache shops are also indispensable.

"Cousin Shu, let's go to the shop over there and have a look." Ling Jingyan said happily.

Since she was getting off the boat to relax, Ling Jingshu didn’t want to spoil the fun, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.

Uncle Ling and Mrs. Sun did not get off the boat, but the juniors couldn't hold it in any longer and got off the boat together. It is not advisable for young girls who have not left the court to appear in public, so Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan both wore curtain hats. Jiang also wore a curtain hat.

However, the group is still very eye-catching.

Ling Ji is tall and handsome and stands out in the crowd. Ling Xiao's unusually delicate and beautiful face also attracted everyone's attention. The tall Mrs. Jiang exudes the charm of a young woman in every gesture. Pretty and lovely Ling Jingyan, her laughter is like a silver bell. Not to mention the stunningly beautiful Ling Jingshu.

The thin gauze on the curtain hat only vaguely covered the appearance, but it could not hide the breathtaking beauty.

The coolie vendors on the dock had never seen such a beautiful girl before, and they couldn't help but look over at her.

Fortunately, Ling Ji specially brought a dozen sturdy servants to tightly surround Ling Jingshu and others. Everyone looked at him for a few times through the crowds of heads. After getting addicted, they withdrew their gazes with interest.

After sitting on the boat for several days, once I set foot on flat ground, walking feels a little soft and I am not used to it.

Ling Xiao held Ling Jingshu's hand tightly and whispered excitedly: "Ah Shu, it's so lively here." Noisy voices kept coming to his ears, interspersed with the vendors' loud shouts. Really interesting.

Ling Jingshu looked around and felt a little sad: "Yes, it is indeed very lively!"

Not to mention that Ling Xiao has never seen it before, but she has never experienced such a scenery.

Back then, she was kept in a boudoir and then married to Jizhou. From one exquisite cage to another even more exquisite one.

The strongest relationship between her and Lu Hong was when Lu Hong was studying diligently to prepare for the provincial examination and had no time to take her on trips. Later, she became pregnant and gave birth to a child, and she had to stay in the Lu family honestly. Later...she was placed under house arrest and couldn't even leave the courtyard...

Ling Jingshu didn’t want to think about these painful past events anymore, and quickly changed the subject: “There is a shop selling the Four Treasures of the Study, let me accompany you to have a look!”

As long as you are a scholar, you can't live without the four treasures of the study. Although Ling Xiao is blind and unable to read, his love for the Four Treasures of the Study is not affected at all. Hearing this, he immediately responded with a smile.

Ling Jingshu asked Ling Jingyan and Jiang with a smile: "Are you coming too?"

Ling Jingyan rushed to respond: "Sister-in-law and I went to the powder shop to have a look. Anyway, the two shops are not far away. Let's meet up again later."

Ling Jingyan had already said this, and Mrs. Jiang was not inconvenient to go against her sister-in-law's wishes, and agreed with a smile: "Let's divide our troops into two groups. For safety reasons, let half of the family follow you. After reading, we will go Looking for you."

That's fine too.

Ling Jingshu nodded, took Ling Xiao's hand, followed by five or six servants, and walked into the Four Treasures Shop of the Study.

The two siblings entered the shop.

A thin beggar squatted not far away from the shop, staring at Ling Jingshu's figure, with a glimmer of surprise and greed in his eyes.

......

This beggar is about 20 years old, with a slender face and a lame leg. Begging to survive on this dock.

The people who were begging for a living on the dock were used to seeing beggars like this, and no one paid any attention to him.

The lame beggar quietly got up and left, turning into the alley on the other side of the pier. After entering the alley, the lame beggar walked much faster, and it was astonishingly neat.

The lame beggar stopped in front of a low house and knocked on the door with a special technique. After knocking three times, the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a strong man with a scar on his face: "Cripple, if you weren't watching the fat sheep on the dock, why did you come back so early?"

The lame man responded excitedly: "I am the one who came back to report the news. Where is the second head of the family?"

The scarred man swore: "The second boss slept with two pink heads last night and was still asleep in bed. I won't get involved in this bad luck."

The **** is usually responsible for tracking the fat sheep. Because of his sharp and accurate vision, he is highly valued by the second master. Hearing this, he replied with a smile on his face: "I have found a real good product this time. If the report is late and delayed, the first and second masters will blame me, but they can't blame me."

The scarred man glared at the lame man and reluctantly went into the back room to call for help.

After a while, the second master came out.

Scarred Man is already very strong, this second boss is half a head taller than Scarred Man~IndoMTL.com~ A pair of triangular eyes are shining fiercely, making him intimidating as soon as he stands there.

The second master asked impatiently: "Cripple, you said you found a real good product, what does it look like? If it happens again like last time, with a pockmarked face after lifting the curtain, there is no need for the master to take action. , I will tear you alive!"

The lame man suddenly became much more honest in front of the arrogant and cruel second master. He hurriedly smiled and said: "Second master, please don't worry, I will never make a mistake this time. The siblings are about the same age and should be twins. They all looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. The girl was wearing a curtain hat, so her appearance could not be clearly seen, but from a distance, she could tell that she was a rare and stunning beauty. The young man also had a first-rate good appearance. ”

When the second master heard that she was a beauty, he immediately became interested, but cursed in his mouth: "How can I know that she is a stunning beauty through the curtain and hat. If not, I will dig out your dog eyes."

"Second Master, please believe me this time!" The lame man said swornly: "I have indeed made mistakes in the past few years, but I will never be wrong this time. If I make a mistake, there is no need to worry about it again. When the master takes action, I have discovered these tricks myself."

"I have memorized the appearance of the official ship. According to our old method, we followed secretly for a day or two. When we found a secluded part of the river, we boarded the ship in the middle of the night and robbed the people. Just leave."

These stunning girls from official families were snatched and sold to the barbarians in northern Saibei, in exchange for hundreds of fine war horses. Once it changed hands, it was a huge profit of tens of thousands of taels.

And that beautiful young man is also a rare and good thing.

If you can successfully complete this vote, the huge profit gained will be enough to make you willing to risk being beheaded.
