Chapter 231 The Qixi Festival Ye Ming'an is in Distress
"This Da Li is indeed a place with a vast land and rich resources. Our Xirong is really incomparable..." This is not the first time Ming An Wangji sighed at Da Li's country's wealth and people.
A truly powerful country does not mean how many countries it invades and how many foreign lands it acquires, but how much it protects its own people so that ordinary people can have enough food and clothing.
In fact, today's Dali is not always as quiet as the Qixi Festival in Jingzhao City. Behind it is the concern of internal and external troubles. Those who have not sat on the throne think that the imperial power is easy to come and enjoy; A foreign country with thin land and few people, misses the territory and resources of Great Li.
The emperor is not easy to do, and there have been many natural disasters in recent years, and ordinary people are also having a hard to the emperor's relatives, down to the common people, which one is easier to live?
Princess Mingjing felt naive when she heard Ming An's after thinking about it, isn't Xirong also missed by the princess's mother's family?But as long as there is great profit in front of it, there will be no possibility of stopping.
The market on Qixi Festival has a history of hundreds of years. Even in the Bai Dynasty, at this time, it is also a time when ordinary girls can go to the streets to have fun.
Up to now, the status of the girl's family has obviously improved, and naturally there will be no fewer people on the street. Naturally, the peddlers also seized this opportunity and wanted to make a lot of money, so that the real ones, the good ones The bad ones are all together, adding a bit of confusion to the already noisy market.
"Ming An, there are people coming and going in this street, don't stay too far away from me." Ming Jing was afraid that she would lose her sister by accident, and wished she could tie someone to her body. I feel a little relieved.
The last thing Ming An wanted was to be detained. After all, Ye Xi hadn't always followed behind him like a tail, but his sister Jing refused to let her go: "Sister Jing, I'm not young now, Where would it be lost in Jingzhao City?"
Knowing that no matter what she said, it would be useless, Ming Jing simply chose not to say anything to Ming An, but her eyes were fixed on Ming An all the time, and she didn't dare to turn away at all.
"You two, come to taste our grapes? But the good things from the Western Regions are not available to ordinary people on weekdays."
Saying this to the two Wang Ji from Xirong, it can be said that they are not attractive at to mention the quality of the food, or whether it was enough to eat when he was in Xirong, even now that he came to Jingzhao City, Li Jing would inevitably share the melons and fruits from Xirong with the two of them.
"You two girls, why don't you come and taste the fruits from the south. Dried grapes are still easy to buy in Jingzhao City, but the fruits from the south, after this season, you won't be able to eat them!"
The purple-black fruit exudes a unique aroma, and the old man in front of him looks very honest. Ming Jing knows that her younger sister always likes snacks, so she approached the booth with a smile.
"Do you want to eat?" Looking back at Ming An, Ming Jing turned sideways to make room for the former to see the things on the pavement, "It looks really good, if you like it, buy some to eat on the road .”
Ming Jing had heard early on that there was a lantern appreciation activity by the river, and the ordinary people in Da Li were very capable, even those private handicraftsmen, the things they made might not be as dexterous as those in Tai Chi Palace.
Therefore, this folk lantern viewing activity is really worth seeing. Whether it is out of fun with the people, or simply to appreciate and relax, many wealthy families in Jingzhao City will also join in the fun.
The two sisters were talking, and the old man was also enthusiastic. He held up a piece of fruit on the leaves, and he was about to tell Ming Jing to taste it: "Miss, try this fruit, try it, if you don't like it, forget it, if you like it, let it go again." It's not too late to buy."
Unable to resist the enthusiasm of the owner of the shop, Ming Jing is naturally not a person who makes a small profit. Although she took it carefully and held it in her hand, she just handed it to Ming An to ask the latter what he meant.
Who would have thought that Ming An would only take a glance, and then refuse: "This fruit is too expensive, why not buy something else with money."
Since when is my sister afraid of spending money?Neither of them are short of money in Xirong, and they are not short of money when they come to Jingzhao City. Ming Jing knows that the former's words must be an excuse to refuse.
Ming An has always been outspoken, if he asks here, maybe something will happen, what is the reason, as a sister-in-law, he still plans to ask in another place.
He smiled and greeted the owner of the shop, and carefully placed the fruit in his hand on a flat and clean place on the table, presumably it would not affect the old man's sales.
After doing all this, Princess Mingjing turned around and was about to leave. She felt as if some silk thread had been drawn on her hand, and it was slightly itchy... She was just thinking about her sister, but the former didn't pay attention.
In fact, if Ming An Wang Ji hadn't been fooled by this so-called Southern Fruit once, she wouldn't have refused so simply.
It wasn't long before he came to Jingzhao City, Ming An felt strange about everything he saw, so he was naturally interested in this fruit, he was tricked into buying a lot to taste, the more he ate it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Up to now, every time Ming An sees this fruit, he thinks of Ye Xi that day. On the surface, he persuades himself not to buy it again, but he probably doesn't know how to laugh at himself in his heart!
"Girl, it's really inappropriate for you to leave my shop after making things unsalable, isn't it?"
The old man was obviously not as simple as he appeared on the surface, he reached out and grabbed Ming Jing's sleeve, blocking their way, "Miss, look at this fruit, it's all polluted by sand..."
The two voices of the owner of the shop yelled at many spectators. The things sold in this market are true and false, and there are several good shows every year-as long as there are interests, no matter how good the education is. It's also impossible to accommodate everyone.
"This thing may not be a big deal to a girl... Huh, to me, my old man, even the whole family is pointing at me, pointing at me to do this business to support my family..."
If this old man didn't come to sell things, if he went to act in the theater, he would have to earn a lot of money. The ability to cry when he says he wants to cry is really impossible for ordinary people to learn!
Now, how could Ming Jing not be able to understand the cause and effect of this matter?It's just that the more deceitful people are, the more they will be absolutely impossible to tolerate. Letting go now, when the time comes to ask such people to blackmail the poor, it is also letting them do harm to others.
"Seeing how well you are dressed, at least you must be a concubine of a rich family. If you do something wrong, you won't even pay money?"
"That's right, it's not easy for anyone in business. If you have money, you don't care about the life and death of others, and do such careless things?"
Most of the ordinary people watching from a distance sighed, and none of them took the initiative to speak, but it was the group of strong men in front of them who talked to each other.
Ming Jing clearly knew that these people might be in the same group as the owner of this shop, and the purpose now was to scare herself, so as long as she didn't report to the officials and settle the matter privately, she would be able to steal a lot of money.
"Everyone, report to the officer! These people think they are..."
Ming Jing, who was still thinking about how to solve this matter, suddenly heard a 'buzz', and all the noise around her was no longer took out an ingot of silver from his bosom and threw it to the strong men nearby who were muttering. Ming Jing was completely panicked—Wang Ji Ming An disappeared!
