Chapter 16 Missing Halfway

The sun was shining in the sky, and the six people rested in the pavilion.

Jian Lirong was drinking tea while eating steamed buns, and just as she was about to pour a second cup, Zhang Huwei, who had gone to explore the road, ran back on a horse with a "tick-tick-tick-tick".

Zhang Huwei got off his horse and reported: "Twenty miles ahead is Jincang City."

Jian Lirong said jokingly: "Thank you for your hard work. But we have already asked the boss in this tea kiosk."

It has been eight days since I traveled, and I have visited several small towns during this period, but there are no beautiful scenic spots.Only a "bumpkin" like him who traveled from the 21st century in the future would be interested in these ancient towns, and Grandma Liu was amazed by everyone as if entering the Grand View Garden.But the Jincang City we are going to today is different. Jincang City can be said to be one of the most prosperous cities in the Kingdom of Jin. It is beautiful and rich, rich in treasures. It is really a golden granary as its name suggests.However, for such a famous city, none of the people who traveled with him had ever been here.After walking for a long time, he almost wondered if he had taken the wrong fork in the road, so Xuan Wei sent Zhang Huwei to explore the road.Not long after Zhang Huwei left, the people who were on their way arrived at the tea pavilion...

After resting enough for tea, we set off again, and arrived outside Jincang City from time to time.Looking at the towering city gates in front of you through the window, you can't help but sigh: a big city is a big city, just looking at this city gate, you can tell that it is extraordinary. Domineering.

After entering Jincang City, he first found an inn to settle down.And Jian Lirong proposed to go to the market before dark after putting down her luggage.

"You really can't stop for a moment." Yu Longtian shook his head helplessly at him.

Do you treat me like a high-speed spinning top?Wasn't it because there was less entertainment at night in ancient times and early rest, that he wanted to have fun during the day.

"You don't need to accompany me." Jian Lirong gave Yulongtian who shook his head to him a "gold medal for not accompanying me".

"I really can't go with you. Jincang City has been the place where military rations come from over the years. Although I have never asked about it in the past, but this time I came here. Naturally, I have to pay a visit to the county magistrate to express my gratitude."

"Then let Zhang Huwei go out with you. The boat and the car are tiring, so we will stay at the inn to rest." Xuan Bi ordered Zhang Huwei to follow Jian Lirong.

"Then let's go, Zhang Huwei." As long as he can go out, he doesn't mind who he goes out with.This Zhang Huwei's full name is Zhang Zhanqiu. Although he is casual and serious, but because he is about the same age as the four of them, he gets along well with them.Obviously only in his early twenties, his personality is obviously too calm, so Jian Lirong always likes to make fun of him, and takes pleasure in seeing a different look on his cold face.

"Ah! Zhang Huwei, look at the big tabby cat carved in front of that big restaurant, how cute it is!"

"Master Rong, that's a stone lion."

"Ah! Zhang Huwei, look at the size of the baked sweet potato that he sells! It's still steaming! Go and buy me one!"

"Master Rong, those are corn cobs."

"Oh, is that right? Both are white, and they are a little far apart, who knows~"

"Then still buy it?"

"Buy, why not buy."

While Zhang Huwei was selling boiled corn, Jian Lirong coveted the sugar figurines made by Grandpa Sugar Man, and bought several at once, including Chang'e flying to the moon, monkey picking peaches, and phoenix flying for nine days. of.When Zhang Huwei came back with the boiled corn in his hands, he saw him licking the sugar figurine with great joy.

"Master Rong, do you still eat corn on the cob?"

"Don't eat, take it back to the inn as a present for your master." Jian Lirong said while handing him a sugar figurine, "No, I'll reward you with a 'monkey picking peaches'!"

"I don't like sweets."

"Oh...it's a pity." Jian Lirong shook her head and sighed, bit off the monkey's head, and Tangsi began to pull.

"Ah! Zhang Huwei sells rouge and gouache here!" As he walked, he saw a rouge shop. "Is Zhang Huwei married? Let me help you choose a few!"

"I haven't married a wife yet."

"Is there any girl who cares?"

"No."

"Then after returning to Rong'an City, how about your master and I marrying Zhang Luomen to you?"

"Uh, this... It's not good to bother Master Rong." Under Jian Lirong's constant pestering, Zhang Huwei's expression finally became a little uneasy, and traces of embarrassment, helplessness, and breakdown began to appear on his face. .

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm happy to make a good relationship..." Jian Lirong planned to make persistent efforts to make Zhang Huwei completely collapsed, when he suddenly saw an interesting stall in front of him and walked up quickly.

"Hey! Zhang Huwei! I~ am~zhen~zi~" I took a ghost mask with long black hair hanging down from a ghost mask stall, and put it on, and rushed towards Zhang Huwei with teeth and claws.

"Master Rong, that's Bai Wuchang." Jian Lirong was only playing an idiot, and Zhang Huwei resumed his sneering rhythm, really!Of course he knew that this was Bai Wuchang, but Zhang Huwei didn't know Zhenzi, so he was asking for boredom, so he had to give up.

"Ah! Zhang Huwei saw it?! There is actually a clothing store here!" After putting down the ghost mask, Jian Lirong ran towards a clothing store as if discovering a new land.

"Although there are fewer tailor-made clothing stores, it's not unusual." Zhang Huwei was completely unfazed by Jian Lirong's surprise.

"I want to go in and have a look. Go and buy me a string of candied haws."

"Master Rong, there is no one who buys candied haws around here."

"I'm sure there's something to buy there, you can go and look for it. I guess I'll have to spend a lot of time in this store, I'm afraid you'll be bored with me. Or you can go shopping wherever you want, and act separately for a while. Remember to come back here to find me later. Enough."

"Then I'd better go buy candied haws for you."

"Go, see you later." Jian Lirong waved to Guard Zhang, turned around and entered the clothing store.

After browsing in the store, I found that the clothes sold here are still different from those in Rong'an City. Obviously, the geographical differences between the two places are not too big.It seems that the clothing of the ancients was much better developed than he imagined.However, I still want to make drastic changes to the clothing fashion here, or try to set off a new trend after returning to Rong'an City, anyway, idle is idle.

Jian Lirong looked at each piece carefully, looked at the style, looked at the craftsmanship, touched the fabric, and guessed the current dyeing technique.But it wouldn't be good to be mistaken for a commercial spy just by looking at it but not buying it, so he left the store before guard Zhang returned.

Just now in the store, he heard the clerk bragging that their clothing materials are all from the famous Jinxiu dyeing workshop in Jincang City, which immediately made him very interested in this Jinxiu dyeing workshop.He hesitated in front of the clothing store, but finally couldn't wait, so he asked the shopkeeper: "If anyone comes to me, tell me that I went to Jinxiu Dyeing Workshop."

After asking for directions several times in the streets and alleys of Jincang City, I found Jinxiu Dyeing Workshop without any detours.When Jian Lirong saw the colorful cloths neatly drying in the sun, Jian Lirong was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he saw such a scene with his own eyes.After regaining his senses, he began to shuttle between the cloths, and the cloth hanging on the bamboo frame fluttering in the wind also swayed his mood.

The dyeing vat should be behind these cloths, I really want to see how these cloths are dyed.Jian Lirong only cared about being happy, and didn't notice that she had been followed since she left the clothing store.It wasn't until the iron arm locked the throat and a cloth towel covered his mouth and nose that he realized that he had been kidnapped when he lost consciousness...
