Chapter 298 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick
Chapter 298 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick
Li Changxiao went out drinking last night, got drunk and slept on the roadside all night. He returned to the inn and brought back a very important news.
It’s time to celebrate the New Year.
The town next door has started to decorate with lights and put up spring couplets, and it is very lively.
The cook and Mei Sanniang were both surprised, "New Year's Day?"
It turned out that the two had never celebrated this festival.
Over the past few hundred years, after the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit, they were like hibernating snakes in the cold period that followed, and spent most of their time in a drowsy state.
Eating and sleeping are all there is.
It was only when Li Changxiao came that there were more Landlord games and fights...
"You don't know?" Li Changxiao asked.
Mei Sanniang shook her head and told Li Changxiao that of course she knew about such a festival, but she had never paid much attention to it. However, after Li Changxiao mentioned it, she became interested.
As it happened, the three of them had a lot of silver on them, so they could go to the town to buy some New Year's goods or change their clothes.
The cook nodded, but looking at the little money he had, he estimated that at the current rate of loss, it would be gone in about a week. He was reluctant to use the money to buy things.
Mei Sanniang gave him a stern lecture. Finally, Li Changxiao and Mei Sanniang had no choice but to give some of their own silver to the cook. Only then did the cook smile happily.
"Let's see if you still love to grab the landlord next time." Mei Sanniang said coquettishly.
"Why should I, a knife fanatic, join forces with others?" The cook sneered with a look of disdain.
......
The three of them packed up and went into the city. The city was very lively and the sound of firecrackers could be heard. It was heard that tonight, several wealthy families in the city jointly bought a rare thing called "fireworks", which would be set off for the whole city to see after midnight.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
After entering the city, I naturally went to some small shops first to buy some things.
Sweet biscuits, oil candies, etc., and two bags of rice were also bought. All of these were carried by the cook, after all, one should be grateful to the person who gave him the food.
These small shops were full of the atmosphere of fireworks. The rice shops at that time not only sold rice, but also many other things, such as: cakes, candies... When the three of them made some purchases and were ready to leave, the seller suddenly said to them mysteriously that it would be better for them to buy some glutinous rice, because there were zombies appearing at night recently, and glutinous rice was the best way to ward off zombies.
Hear the words.
The three of them sneered at the same time.
Who are they to be afraid of zombies?
With a wave of his hand, he bought three big bags of glutinous rice, under the pretext of making glutinous rice cakes and brewing glutinous rice wine. In short, it was not for warding off zombies.
In the end, there were so many things that Li Changxiao went to the stable inn in the city and rented a carriage.
After a few visits, Li Changxiao and the owner of the stable became very familiar with each other. The owner of the stable also learned that this handsome young man who often rented horse-drawn carriages was a waiter at an inn in a remote place outside the city.
Driving the carriage, the three of them purchased more and more items.
If the previous times I went into the city were because I had missions and needed to buy necessary vegetables and meat, then this time, I came here purely for consumption. My mentality was completely different, and naturally my feelings were also different.
Unprecedented joy and freedom.
So this is what it feels like to spend money recklessly.
In line with the principle of new year and new atmosphere, Mei Sanniang can be said to have made great efforts. After all, it is inseparable from women's love of shopping, especially now that she has dozens of taels of silver to back it up.
She went to a jewelry store, bought some luxurious-looking accessories, and put them on on the spot.
Bejeweled.
Later, we went to the largest clothing store in the city, which was a three-story attic built with solid red wood.
On the plaque, there are three words "Tianyi Pavilion" written.
Almost all the families of wealthy businessmen and officials in the city come here to buy clothes.
In fact, Mei Sanniang had been envious of the place for a long time when she went into the city several times before, but because she was short of money, she did not dare to go in.
At this moment, the situation was different. She strode into the Tianyi Pavilion and began to pick out clothes that fit her.
First, she bought a bellyband of the latest style, and then she bought a red slim long skirt with the slits almost reaching the thighs, and she insisted on putting them on on the spot.
As a result, the already gorgeous Mei Sanniang looked even more gorgeous, and every movement she made exuded alluring charm.
It attracted many people and made them drool.
She stood in front of the bronze mirror and said that dressing like this was festive and felt like the New Year.
But at this moment, she caught a glimpse of white from the corner of her eye. She turned her head to look at Li Changxiao, and her brows frowned instantly. Why is this guy wearing white clothes on New Year's Day?
She waved her hand and ordered four or five maids from Tianyi Pavilion to carry the two men in and change them into nice and festive clothes. She paid for it!
After a while, the two came out. It was really a brand new place. Tianyi Pavilion really had something special. Li Changxiao's white clothes were changed into a red robe, which was a loose style. His messy long hair was tied up and then tied with a crown.
Transform yourself.
He changed from a dissolute drunkard to a well-dressed gentleman.
There is some hidden nobility in Li Changxiao. If he wears expensive clothes, he will give people a natural sense of nobility.
It's just that he usually behaves too wildly. And that kind of seeming-real-or-false, dreamlike temperament is even more prominent, which makes it easy for people to ignore or forget about it.
But this is also relative.
In Mei Sanniang's eyes, he was not a dream guest, but a lazy waiter who came and went in the inn.
Mei Sanniang was very satisfied, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she looked around. The maid at the side showed envy on her face, "Madam, you and the young master are so handsome."
After saying that, a hint of shame appeared on his face.
Li Changxiao's mouth twitched suddenly, and he looked at the maid who had just spoken. He accidentally saw the strange thoughts in her.
There was no way, they were too close. Even if Li Changxiao controlled his "senses", he could still feel something.
Upon hearing this, Mei Sanniang covered her mouth and burst into laughter. She rewarded the woman with one or two taels of silver, and pulled Li Changxiao to the bronze mirror, looking at it again and again.
Don't even say it.
In the entire Tianyi Pavilion, few people's looks can compare with those of these two.
Standing together, they are a beautiful landscape.
At this time, the cook also came out. He also changed into a set of red clothes. He had a strong physique and a good appearance. When he came out, he also attracted a lot of attention.
The owner of Tianyi Pavilion smelled the scent and came over. When he saw Mei Sanniang and Li Changxiao from afar, his eyes lit up and he immediately ran over with a big smile on his face and shook hands with them.
He asked, "Are you two Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick?"
Mei Sanniang showed a look of delight. When did the two evil spirits in the vegetable market have such an elegant name?
Really good.
Li Changxiao's expression changed.
He had never met the owner of Tianyin Pavilion before, so why did he mock him like this as soon as he arrived?
