Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Suicheng County is on the edge of the Cangjiang River. From here to the other side, it is the provincial capital of Jiangning.The administrative regions of the Dajing Dynasty were divided into 28 provinces based on the stars in the sky, with provincial capitals under them, and counties, counties, and countless villages, large and small, under the provincial capitals.
Although Suicheng is only a county-level city, its political location is extremely important because it is close to Cangzhou and the provincial capital, and the Cangnan Grain Depot is built. In other words, it is already equivalent to a modern prefecture-level city.
Therefore, on its territory, anything that happens will be widely reported, and the quality of life of the people in Suicheng is far higher than that of other counties, as can be seen from the exquisite and special delicacies introduced to them by the waiter in the shop. When the people no longer have to worry about food and clothing, they will have the energy to think about other things.
That's why they spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to create this "Goddess Welcome Dance", which has attracted thousands of people.
Both Wen Jiang and Shen Song showed great interest in this performance, because just after eating, the two of them were eager to go to the Shenwu Building to buy a number.
"VIP customers, the operator of Shenwu Building is definitely a shrewd businessman." Wen Jiang grabbed Shen Song's wrist: "Xiao Diu, as I said, you can only eat two candies a day, um, the same goes for dried peaches, oh No, even if you look at me with your eyes wide open, Brother Wen won't agree." Wen Jiang looked at Shen Song with a pitiful expression, and when he heard Wen Jiang resolutely rejected him, he immediately turned his head She curled her lips in displeasure.Wen Jiang was funny and angry: "Don't think that I don't know that you have a toothache. Yesterday, when you opened your mouth wide to show Xiao Shan your little tooth that was about to break, I was right behind you."
As soon as the sore tooth was mentioned, Shen Song's mouth instantly collapsed, and he turned around with a pitiful expression.
"Let's find someone to make some medicine for you later on. Okay, I know, it's not for food. We can find something that can be applied on the teeth so that he doesn't hurt, but you have to be obedient." Wen Jiang patted His head: "So that's the end of today's portion. If you want to eat, you have to wait until tomorrow."
Shen Song wanted to refuse but remembered that painful tooth, so he nodded pitifully in agreement.
"Good." Wen Jiang smiled and patted his head.
The Shenwu Building is indeed a very easy place to find as Xiao Er said, because it is really too obvious.
Wen Jiang and Shen Song walked all the way according to the direction pointed by the waiter in the shop, and then they saw it - standing in the middle of the market, a glittering three-story building, yes, that's right, it is glittering gold, its building materials The outside is all wrapped in gold foil paper, and the glazed tiles, golden bricks and green tiles that shine in the sun are simply blinding the eyes of the two.
"It's really—" Wen Jiang swallowed.
"It looks very graceful and luxurious, doesn't it?" A clear voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Wen Jiang turned around and saw a man in white clothes, holding a folding fan, elegant, handsome, and noble-"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!!"— — a series of sneezes.
A gust of wind blew past.
Ha ha ha.
As the saying goes, don't pretend to be coercive, and you will be struck by lightning if you pretend to be coercive.
Wen Jiang didn't answer, but pulled Shen Song behind him, away from this guy who was a little unclear.
The man took out a veil from his sleeve, wiped it lightly, and then waved, someone stepped forward to put a black fur cloak on him, and then he stopped sneezing.He turned his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, the wind today is much colder than in the past. I don't need to wear this thing at ordinary times. It's very bulky."
Wen Jiang just smiled, not knowing the details of the other party, he didn't dare to answer casually.
The man also noticed it, motioned to the people next to him, took out his cloak, and the servant respectfully said: "This is my second master."
"Hello." Wen Jiang couldn't call out the second master, so he could only greet him in a modern way.
The servant seemed very dissatisfied with his greeting, and his face was a little embarrassed, but the second master didn't care, and asked him with a smile: "But a local?"
Wen Jiang shook his head: "No."
"Oh, yes, that will happen tomorrow, and you must come to see it." He tapped his palm with his fan and confirmed.
Wen Jiang looked at the other party, he should be talking about the goddess welcoming dance, but before, no matter whether it was Xiaoshan or the waiter in the shop, when they mentioned this goddess welcoming dance, they were full of hope and respect. With a contemptuous expression on his face, it seems that in his eyes, this is just something interesting. "Then you are here because of that brand."
"Exactly." Wen Jiang answered all questions unabashedly. "May I ask you are?"
The other party seemed to know a lot about this matter, and Wen Jiang had an intuition that he had a great relationship with this goddess, or should be said, with this Shenwu Tower.
The second master laughed again, pointed at Wen Jiang and said to the servant next to him: "I like this kid at the first glance, you can get him a sign, promise, I want the one in the middle."
When the servant heard this, his face was full of surprise. Not only was he surprised that the other party said he liked him, but he also gave him a sign for him casually. Very important master, so even though the servant's eyes on Wen Jiang changed, he still took out a red wooden sign with both hands and handed it to Wen Jiang in a very respectful and obedient manner, even the address became respectful: "Young master, please Take it." He also explained very intimately: "This is the supreme card issued by the Shenwu Tower, please be sure to keep it properly."
Wen Jiang was stunned, and hurriedly refused: "Thank you for your love, but the boy is just an ordinary person, I'm afraid I can't afford such a generous gift." How could he dare to accept this thing so easily!Wen Jiang didn't believe that gold fell from the sky, it was a big box, and it happened to fall on top of his head. He was afraid that he would meet him by fate, but his small body didn't have the strength to catch it, and he would be smashed to pieces!
The second master glanced at him appreciatively, and seemed to be in a good mood to explain his doubts: "No problem, don't worry, this is just an ordinary object, you can keep it, if you are not at ease, I will tell you to understand That’s it.” He pointed to the small golden building in front of him and said: “This is the property of the next generation, someone should have told you about the distribution of signs in the Shenwu Building, but you probably don’t know, although my building is very conspicuous, anyone can I can see it, but even if I can enter this building, I have to meet someone in my eyes to get this brand, you, understand?"
Understood, Wen Jiang nodded his head heavily, this means that he is rich and willful!
"Then, thank you very much." Wen Jiang arched his hands and saluted.He said again: "This is my younger brother Xiaodiu, I wonder how many people can be brought with one sign?"
"This is our supreme card. As long as it is in our Shenwu Building, you can take as many people as you want. Even people with other cards, if they see this supreme card, they should avoid it."
drink!This is basically the dragon-slaying sword of the rivers and lakes, the golden medal arrow of the imperial court!For a moment, Wen Jiang regretted taking over too easily. This is not only a treasure, but also a hot potato!But since he has already taken it, it is not good to return it, otherwise the person in front of him will not give him good fruit to eat. Anyway, he only brought Xiao Shan and Shen Song, which is not too much.
"So powerful." He held the sign and muttered to himself, but he still felt that the servant had nothing to say, but since he had accepted it, as long as he was careful, he should be fine for the time being.
"Naturally, you know the brand we only—"
"Stop talking!" Second Master frowned and scolded, but turned his head and smiled kindly at Wen Jiang: "What's your name?"
"Wen Jiang."
"Wenjiang." The second master read it again: "Where did you come from?"
"The boy's home is in Cangtong County, Nanchuan."
The second master raised his eyebrows: "Oh, it's not close, are you alone?"
Wen Jiang paused, shook his head and said, "No, there is another elder brother at the inn."
"But you made a special trip to Suicheng County?"
Wen Jiang shook his head again: "It's not true, we're just traveling in the mountains and rivers."
"Traveling in the mountains and rivers." The second master smiled for a moment like a spring breeze blowing on his face: "At your age, most of you are studying in the clan or academies in order to gain fame and fame. Why do you have such a leisurely time to travel in the mountains and rivers?"
"I am a person with no ambitions, and I am not smart. I can't take the imperial examination, so I have to try my best to live comfortably."
"You are not very old, but you are so indifferent to fame and fortune. It's very good." Second Master praised.
The two were talking, but they saw a middle-aged man coming out of the building. When he saw the second master, his expression changed slightly, and then he walked quickly to the second master, and said softly but respectfully: "Second master! You are here, little one Damn it, I let you stand here for so long, the wind is cold outside, and the hot tea is already prepared in the building, please move." Then he said to the servant: "Xiao Luzi, you are so bold, the weather is cold, How can you let the second master stand outside for a long time, if the second master catches the cold, you will be convicted!"
Xiao Luzi was full of depression, how could he be blamed for this, Ming Mingye was about to go in, but when he saw these two teenagers, he suddenly stood still and chatted, not only that!What made him incomprehensible and horrifying the most was that the second master also gave away a supreme card, oh my god, that was the only ten-yuan supreme card in the entire Dajing Dynasty!That's why he didn't even dare to say a single extra word, and besides, he was just my master's servant, so how could he dare to be his master.
The second master chuckled: "Why, where is the master going and what is he doing now, I have to tell you first?"
"Second Master!" The middle-aged man's face paled instantly. If it wasn't for being outside, he might have knelt down immediately: "This subordinate knows his mistake, it's because this subordinate is talking too much."
The second master glanced at him lightly, then turned to look at Wen Jiang: "Where else are you going to go shopping?"
"Ah?" Wen Jiang was stunned, this master probably wanted him to follow him. "Here, my brother is still waiting for us at the inn. I don't dare to stay long. Thank you for the card. We will go back now."
The second master seemed to be a little bit regretful, but he didn't try to force others to do anything. He just nodded slightly: "You are in a foreign country, you really should be more careful, so let's go back." Ignoring the two of them, he turned and walked into the building.
The little Luzi hurriedly followed, only the middle-aged man couldn't help but look at the two of them more, but he was surprised in his heart by the master's kindness to the two boys, could it be that he came from there?But, it seems that something is wrong, but he just got into trouble with you, master, and now he doesn't dare to speculate, so he just said without any trace: "I don't know which inn the two young masters are staying in, but I need to send a car to see you off." The two go back?"
"No need, no need, we don't live far away, and we'll be there in a short while." Wen Jiang hurriedly waved his hand to decline, nonsense, just received such a big gift from someone, how could he dare to make an inch, so he said to the person who just said to leave As soon as he left, he knew that the gift was definitely not for himself, but probably for other people, he cast a glance at Shen Song who was looking around and cursed.
"I still have something to do, both of you, please leave." The middle-aged man also entered the building after speaking.
Wen Jiang sighed, feeling more and more that the charcoal in his hand was burning.
"Brother Wen, aren't we going in?" Shen Song didn't make a sound until all the outsiders had left before asking.
Wen Jiang patted his head: "No, let's go shopping elsewhere."
"Oh, good!" Shen Song clapped his hands: "I'm hungry, let's go eat something delicious!"
Wen Jiang laughed: "You are such a little pig, well, let me see what other special snacks are here."
The two laughed and left.
And at the railing on the second floor, a figure stood with his hands behind his back, silently watching the backs of the two teenagers leaving.
After a while, a person walked up to him, followed his gaze, and said with a sneer, "So reluctant, why didn't you go out just now?"
"You gave him a supreme card, why?" the man replied without asking.
"I'm interested in him." Then the man said with a smirk: "I think this kid has clear features and general knowledge. The most important thing is that he is very smart, hazy and half-drunk, Mo Yuzi, hehe, he doesn't like imperial examinations. Indifferent to fame and wealth, only love to travel, I really like it very much."
"Second Master, you love him too much." The man said flatly.
The person who came was the second master who was talking to Wen Jiang just now. When he heard the man say this, he smiled more meaningfully: "Actually, the person I value is you." He stared at the man and called out his name: " Thank you Zheng."
