young flower

Take your time, Xiaofei, we'll leave first..." Seeing that he hadn't suffered any more, Lan Jinghang hurriedly grabbed Qiu Tingzhen's sleeve and walked away in despair.

After the Flower Festival on February [-]th, the endless stream of tourists who went out of the city to enjoy the spring finally gradually returned to their houses. The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is getting warmer, and it is not far from the season when the grass grows and the warblers fly. The people outside the city are busy with spring plowing People can finally rest.

At this time, beside the official road three miles away from Luozhou City, an unremarkable carriage was parked on the side of the plowed roadside. The man driving the carriage with a beard on his face half leaned against the carriage door to eat cold steamed buns.After a while, a woman's voice came from the car: "Brother Liu, drink some tea."

A bright wrist handed out a copper pot and an oiled paper bag, "Don't just eat the steamed buns, isn't there jerky?" Following the sound, a woman wearing a gauze hat stepped out of the carriage, leaning against the He sat down on the other side of the car door and raised the white gauze on his head. Immediately, a beautiful face appeared in the man's eyes.

"Well, you should eat quickly, take a break after eating, and we will continue our journey in the afternoon, and we will arrive in Luozhou in less than an hour." The man retracted his bewildered eyes from the distant sky, and said to the woman with a smile.

"Ah."

The author has something to say: (*^__^*) First update a chapter...

46, spring intoxicated...

At nightfall, the bright moon leaps over the willows, and the lights near and far from the blocks in the east of the city begin to rise. The warm yellow halo swayed under the night wind to create an ambiguous beauty, and the warmth and hustle and bustle of the day still Before they could disperse, a new round of feast began in the city covered under the darkness.

The nights in Luozhou City have always been as bustling and lively as the daytime. What's more, after a winter of dormant dwellings, the warm spring nights make people want to go out and enjoy the fun.

The night market in Luozhou originated from the brothels/prostitutes/houses in the east of the city, and the vendors’ stalls doing small business around the gold cave, and later developed into several grocery streets and food streets in the east of the city, and then the entire city Some blocks in the east and north of the city have begun to join the night market.

In order to facilitate management, the government divided the night market into Yeting and Shangfang, and set up Yetingfang in the Yamen for special management.Ye Ting, as the name suggests, is the Goulan Courtyard for skin and flesh business, and later included theaters, juggling and the like; commercial workshops are all businesses except Ye Ting.

Most of the businesses in the shops are small businesses. Although the big businesses also open their doors at night to welcome customers, people who shop seem to prefer small stalls. Over time, some high-end shops in the night market street, every time they arrive Opening workshops at night (when the night market is open, it becomes a workshop), and the middle and low-end goods in the store will be displayed for sale at low prices, or other businesses will be started.

Tianyang Commercial Bank also has a few shops in the east of the city, which naturally sell high-end goods, but when the night market opens at night, they still do as the Romans do.

For example, Jinxiufang (a silk and satin business under the name of Tianyang Commercial Co., Ltd.) sells first-class silk and satin during the day. There are also a lot of cloth and embroidery of various colors bought from the countryside.

Cloth and embroideries are sold separately, and they are also free gifts when guests purchase top-quality silk and satin.

This method is just a common promotional method that Feihua plagiarized from modern times, but this method was not used much in ancient business. Even if those ancient people knew how to use it, they would not be willing to use things that were too valuable as gifts, and they persisted for a long time .

Speaking of which, these cloth and embroideries in Jinxiufang are the first-class products purchased by special personnel from various rural areas, with the local characteristics and ethnic customs of each place. The selling price is not high, but it is definitely not expensive. Low.

It must be known that these things were brought back from poor villages all over the country with a lot of manpower and material resources. After passing through the hands of Jinxiufang, the price can't be so low.

In such an agricultural society as in ancient times, village women in the mountains and in the countryside generally wove some cloth and embroidered things by themselves in exchange for daily necessities. The specifications of the cloth and the embroidered products are not uniform, and the materials and craftsmanship are also very different, so it is difficult to find merchants who are willing to accept them for a long time. Therefore, no matter how well woven some cloth is, no matter how beautiful the embroidery is Also buried in the countryside.

And Jinxiufang took a fancy to this, and sent a large number of people to remote mountain villages and countryside as peddlers to buy special products in the mountains at high prices, including medicinal materials, fur, homemade cloth, etc. Carry out subdivision, processing, and then distribute to various stores in the commercial bank for sale.

This not only helps the poor villagers, but also can buy goods at a relatively low price, and it is also convenient to listen to folk news, killing three birds with one stone.

And these things sold in Jinxiufang are also very popular with girls and daughters-in-law in the city because of their unique style and rarity. There is no noise during the day.

Another example is Furonglou. Originally, there was a restaurant on the main street in the city. Later, the business was so good that Lan Jinghang set up a restaurant on the main street in the east of the city near the city gate and changed it to Furonglou. branch.

The location of this branch is excellent. During the day, there are many customers, sometimes even surpassing the main store in the city. But when it comes to the night market, as a high-end restaurant with food and drink as its main profit channel, it is obviously inappropriate to attract customers by this. After all, how many people will go to eat while visiting the night market!

So at night, the branch of this Furonglou branch is full of barbecue stalls and beef offal stalls that are common in modern streets. Those who are far away will run to the door of Furong Building first.

In the lobby next to the kitchen on the first floor, there are a row of large pots and small pots along the wall. There are herbal tea, sweet potato syrup, mung bean porridge, red bean porridge, glutinous rice porridge... in response to seasonal changes, there are sometimes fresh fruits Congee, and occasionally some festivals, beverages such as fruit juice and milk tea will also be launched.

There are only two blocks between Furong Building and Goulan Street in the east of the city. Every night when the market opens, the young servants and maids in the brothel are sent to the building to buy porridge, water and sugar water.It is probably because these liquid foods nourish the intestines and stomach. People in the market eat them for a long time, and some small problems in the stomach and intestines disappear unconsciously, and their bodies and skin get better.

So there are rumors that eating these things can cure diseases, and later it is said that they can "beautify the appearance". Furonglou is also more popular because of these porridges, although Lan Jinghang made people clarify that "can cure diseases" ", but only for the "beauty" item, Furong Building has a regular number of female customers.

Afterwards, no matter whether you are hungry or thirsty, people visiting the night market like to take a rest in Furong Building when they are tired from walking, order a bowl of soup or a bowl of sweet rice porridge, and continue shopping after finishing.

Feihua and Yang Fengjue sat in the corner of the lobby on the first floor, looking at the busy waiters and people coming and going, they couldn't help smiling at each other.お/稥 "After eating, let's go."

"Yeah." The two walked out the door hand in hand, and merged into the crowd/flow/in the night.

After the two walked far away, a conversation came from another dark corner in Furong Building.

"Brother Liu, did you see that? That kid..."

"Well, I see, it's him."

"Woo~" The man dressed as a man choked up and said, "The longer the child grows, the more she looks like Sister Fu. Just now, I thought she was my sister and she came back to life..."

Liu Bin gave an absent-minded "Yeah", he was thinking about the man who was with Feihua just now, he was very imposing, and he was able to protect Feihua for so many years, he knew that he was not an ordinary person. When he went out, he seemed to glance at them, obviously he had already noticed them.

What is the identity of that person?Why is Feihua so close to him?

This Liu Bin is the old friend of the mother that Feihua met when she was still in Zhongzhou, and the man next to her is Ji Qingrong from Zhongzhou who is dressed as a man.

At that time, Liu Bin wanted to take Feihua away from Zhongzhou to live in seclusion in the countryside, and carefully raise the children of his sweetheart to grow up, but he was hunted down by a killer, and Feihua disappeared without a trace, and his life and death are unknown.

Liu Bin mobilized all his relatives and friends to help, and searched hard for several months to find nothing. In bitterness and resentment, he forced his way into the Yue Mansion by himself, only hurting a dozen guards, but he didn't even see Yue Jingshuang's face. Not to mention asking for an explanation for Feihua.

Over the years, he wandered around, saying to himself that he was looking for Feihua, but in his heart there was a kind of despair that "Feihua is dead".Over the years, wandering has gradually become a habitual gesture, as if only in this way can the miserable heart be at a loss and numb.

A few days ago, when Liu Bin went back to Zhongzhou to visit Qing Rong, he unexpectedly learned that Feihua was still alive and well in Luozhou.Overjoyed, he made several visits before deciding to come to Luozhou to verify.

Tonight, he was accompanying Qing Rong to visit the famous night market in Luozhou, but he never thought that he would meet that child by chance. If Qing Rong hadn't pulled him along, he would have rushed forward to meet him in excitement.

Qing Rong's worries and sorrows these years are no less than his, and she can't help herself in the wind and dust. Although she looks good, she is tired of it inside. Compared with the past, in fact, I don’t know how much it has declined.

She intends to redeem herself in
