Chapter 10, Tan Longcheng
Meng Jingye walked quietly in the direction to Tan Longcheng, her heart calm as usual, not at all disturbed by what just happened.The golden light once again enveloped the whole body, and he entered into the self-study of "Golden Thread Clothes" again.

Asked Meng Jingye why he did this, because he felt that he needed information and money, but where did such a thing come from?Should I humble myself and ask for help from others?With the way he is dressed, he has no idea whether others will dislike him, let alone help him.Then again, if a person wrapped in shabby fur appeared in front of you, would you enthusiastically send messages and money?Everyone has a heart of defense. It is estimated that not many people will laugh at your shallow knowledge or shabby clothes, because everyone has the mentality of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. 90.00% of people will reject you, and there are also holy mothers, but Meng Jingye is too lazy to do such a thing, wouldn't it be easier to just ask for it?Fists cannot solve all the things in the world, but they can solve most of the things in the world, so it is understandable that the world admires, respects or fears the strong.

Meng Jingye felt that if others have what I don't have, and I need it, and he can't beat me, but I can afford it, then his things are mine, it's only natural!

Step by step, without taking a slow pace, the sun is gradually hammering westward, gently resting on the shoulders of the distant hills, and it is trying hard to cast the last ray of afterglow to the earth and to the sky.The clouds in the sky were dyed dazzling gold by the brilliant brilliance of the sun!At this time, a circle of city walls appeared in front of Meng Jingye's eyes, and Meng Jingye decided to self-study. The golden brilliance receded like running water, and the city was not visible in the distance, but Meng Jingye was shocked when he walked in. !As a testimony of ancient history, the people of Tam Long cherish the city wall that protects them to this day.Although it was destroyed by war, the city wall was later rebuilt by the Wu Dynasty and repaired repeatedly since then.The city wall has a circumference of 7174 meters, a height of 9 meters, a bottom width of 7-18 meters, and a top width of 20-6 meters.Time has ravaged its vicissitudes: but he still stands majestic, like an angry-eyed Vajra.He has experienced a lot of desolation, prosperity and sadness.Moss is the trace of time passing.

Meng Jingye followed the crowd and walked into the city gate. Although some people looked at his strange clothes curiously, no one spoke. They are out of tune with them, like a monkey in the crowd, the guards at the city gate are just standing upright, very energetic, it can be seen that Tan Longcheng manages the army well, only the carriage with goods will stop , I went to a young official to register and pay taxes. Pedestrians came and went in a hurry. There were many men in coir raincoats, bamboo hats, and long knives, and there were also groups of school children in uniform clothes. Being led by a slightly older old Jianghu, the young and curious sect disciples asked questions curiously, and the leader patiently explained them one by one.

The wide avenue with cyan stone slabs, vendors with stalls lined up on both sides, the noisy yelling, the sound of selling, and the bargaining with the merchants while walking, all made Meng Jingye, who had been quietly waiting for many years, a little unaccustomed to it. Nostalgia, as if returning to that chaotic city in the previous life.

Meng Jingye stepped into a clothing store, there were no customers, only an old woman sitting at the table, resting her forehead with her right hand, dozing off, Meng Jingye tapped the table lightly, "Pang, bang, bang!" The woman woke up immediately, and when she saw a customer, a smile appeared on her drowsy face. She didn't despise or ridicule Meng Jingye's clothes at all. It's only found in Shuangwen's novels, and it's designed to slap people in the face.

"Hey, guest officer, what do you want to order?" The old man stood up, and walked briskly to the clothes rack without any hesitation, and said, "We have curved skirts, straight skirts, high-waist skirts, skirts, Round-neck gown, sash, Zhu Zishen clothes, Xuanduan, do you buy it for yourself or for relatives and friends?" Meng Jingye threw a piece of silver at the old woman and said, "Give it to me. Straight ivory train!" The old woman hastily stretched out her hands, caught the silver, looked at the weight, and immediately smiled.
"Okay, okay, it'll be ready soon." The old woman walked to the table, took out a ruler from the drawer, and said to Meng Jingye, "Rong will measure the size for a senior official."

Meng Jingye nodded and raised her hands horizontally. The old man then skillfully measured up and down. Then, according to the size, she found an ivory white dress from a clothes hanger, packed it, and handed it to Meng Jingye. Meng Jingye took it and gave it to her. Said, bring me a pair of thick boots and a tiara.The old woman responded, and found Meng Jingye everything she needed from other places, and said: "The senior official will take it, and I will wait for the old man to change the money." Then she took out a steelyard and prepared to weigh the silver At that time, Meng Jingye walked out with the package in her hand, and said casually, "You don't need to look for it." Then she left without looking back.The old woman was taken aback, she didn't need that much money to buy this little thing, even if she sold it at an inflated price, there was still more than twice the amount left, Meng Jingye didn't even want it, but she immediately became happy again , After all, it is refreshing to make such a single business and make so much money!Seeing that it was too late, he held a lamp, dialed the wick, continued to sit back to his original position, and began to look at the facade, waiting for the next order to come.

Meng Jingye walked into an inn with her clothes on her shoulders, Xiao Er hurried over, treated Meng Jingye as a beggar, and planned to expel Meng Jingye to leave, because there were so many people serving food in the inn lobby, beggars thought this place was very It’s easy to beg, so there are a lot of begging every day, and Xiao Er is used to it, but before Xiao Er came, a piece of silver flew directly to Xiao Er, Xiao Er hurriedly caught it, and a smile immediately hung on his face, Welcomed Meng Jingye in.Nodding and bowing his head, he said, "Guest officer, are you going to be a top player or staying in a hotel?"

Meng Jingye replied calmly: "Stay in the hotel, open a room for me, prepare a few side dishes, deliver them to my room, and prepare a bucket of hot water."

"Okay!" Xiaoer replied, and then said to the counter: "Stay in the hotel, take a room!"

The old man in front of the counter listened, wrote a few sums on the account book in front of him, then took out a key, and handed it to Xiao Er, who also gave the silver taels to the old man.Xiaoer led Meng Jingye up to the second floor.

Entering the room, I saw that the upper room was really called the upper room, with a bedroom, a small living room, and a study room. In the study room was a large rosewood marble case, on which were various famous postings, and dozens of precious inkstones. , pen holders of various colors, and the pens inserted in the sea of ​​pens are like trees.On the other side, there is a big Ru kiln flower pouch, filled with white chrysanthemums filled with crystal balls.In the middle of the west wall hangs a large rice Xiangyang "Picture of Misty Rain", and on the left and right hangs a pair of couplets, which are written by Yan Lugong.There is a big cauldron on the case.On the red sandalwood stand on the left is a large plate from a large official kiln, which contains dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite big buddhist hands.On the right side of the paint rack hangs a white jade chime, with a small hammer hanging beside it.The couch is a babu bed with green double embroidered flowers, insects and gauze curtains.It gives people the impression that the overall width is dense and the details are dense, full of a chic and elegant book atmosphere.
