Chapter 61: 逛街
[Window Shopping]
Originally thought it would be some kind of folk performance, until Tang Xiaobao pulled Ji Ling closer to realize that it was a trader and a middle-aged woman towards the fight, and also quarrelled very strongly.
The two parties were arguing heatedly, and the people around them were also watching with great interest, not even thinking that there was something wrong or inappropriate there. Tang Xiaobao just took a curious look, and then quickly left, before seeing a pair of members of what looked like a public security group coming over, separating the two in the middle of an argument.
At once, Tang Xiaobao felt very rare, originally he thought that in ancient times this kind of place would not have this kind of similarity to the city police members. Who knows, not only is there, but it also looks very efficient.
Ji Ling followed Tang Xiaobao’s gaze, saw him look at the people, there are still a few curiosity in the eyes, so faintly explained: “Because this is the main street of the capital, business here need to pay a very high fee, and accordingly the security here is also the best.”
Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling and nodded his head, while Ji Ling led Tang Xiaobao along the road without saying a word. Just walking along the street, perhaps because they came out too early, even if some stores are open, but the street still looks a little cold. The two of them walked for a while. Tang Xiaobao has been looking at the surrounding stores, looks very different from the modern, looks always have a kind of indescribable flavor. Even the decoration outside the door is also very in line with the things they sell, so that people will feel very distinctive at first glance, unlike the modern general uniformity.
As the two of them strolled along the road, the atmosphere was so harmonious that even if they didn’t talk, they felt very comfortable. What’s more, when they saw Ji Ling walking along the road with his Ger, they would boldly recommend to the two of them somewhat strange style, but very eye-catching things.
Generally, Tang Xiaobao would stop to look at the things he found interesting, while Ji Ling acted like a competent husband and bought the things Tang Xiaobao had his eye on. After a short while of shopping, the attendants behind them had a lot of things in their hands, and only when Tang Xiaobao reacted did he realize that they had already bought a lot of things.
Looking at those things, Tang Xiaobao is a little shy, obviously he does not need those things, why did he not insist on buying them down? Then, even if he saw something he was interested in, he decided not to buy any more.
Ji Ling watched Tang Xiaobao staring at the exquisite house model in front of his eyes to see very seriously, the love in his eyes is difficult to express, but then he did not say any words that he wanted to buy it, just bawling at it.
That boss is a corner of the eye, swept a glance at Tang Xiaobao, as well as Ji Ling, as well as the two people followed by the subordinates, smiled, said very enthusiastic, “This Fu Lang, this is our store’s most famous works, if you like, may wish to buy. You see, this house can be dismantled, we also have some matching things decorated inside, if you like you can get yours done.”
They specialize in buying strange and weird things in this store, and those who have lived in the back of the house for a long time, the ladies are also very fond of these small things, so the business is also good. So looking at this Ger in front of him, he expected that he would also like it. Not waiting for Tang Xiaobao to reply, he asked his own shopkeeper to bring out a small potted plant planted with small plants, and a small windmill that could move, and gestured to the place above the house to show where to place it.
Looking at this, Tang Xiaobao’s eyes lit up. Ji Ling only said to bring himself here to see, having fun, did not think that here they actually have much more exquisite things, he felt that this thing in front of him made him feel very satisfied. But looking at the exquisite model, he felt that this is very expensive, and this thing is like a child’s toy, and can only assemble one. Therefore, he was a bit confused, but finally decided to go back.
But before he could open his mouth, he heard Ji Ling beside him say, “We’ll take this set, is there anything more?” He looked at the boss and reached out to move the windmill. The reason why he would bring Tang Xiaobao here is because the boss here is a carpenter with good craftsmanship and some ideas. Children at home like to buy toys here, he thought Tang Xiaobao should also like it.
When Tang Xiaobao heard Ji Ling’s words, he wanted to say that he didn’t want it, but just this time, the boss was very happy to take the two of them to look at his own inventory. Pointing at those exquisite models, the boss was very proud, “Those are also available together, see if the guests like.”
Looking at those small wooden figures of various shapes, as well as the decorations, Ji Ling thought for a moment, but still said to the boss, “I’ll take all of them, when the time comes, you can directly send someone to the Ji family.”
“Good.” The boss agreed, looking very happy.
Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling, his eyes were very embarrassed, and said in a small voice, “Actually, I don’t need to buy them.”
Ji Ling touched his head, as if coaxing a child, and said, “Don’t you like it? This thing is not worth a lot of money, if the books are not good then you can ask Green Lotus to accompany you with this.”
Listening to Ji Ling coaxing children’s tone, Tang Xiaobao some blush, just look away from the shopkeeper wrapped up those things, his heart was somewhat joyful. He likes these kinds of small things, and did not think that in ancient times actually had these kinds of things. Just looking around those who used the small mechanism to make very interesting small things, then he also understood why.
“Do you want anything else?” Ji Ling looked at Tang Xiaobao and asked seriously.
Hearing Ji Ling’s words, Tang Xiaobao knew that if he said yes, Ji Ling would buy it for him. Suddenly, Tang Xiaobao felt like a little goblin who had been adopted, while his gold master was swiping his credit card, or a black card, with great wealth. Thinking like this, Tang Xiaobao felt that his face was about to smoke. So he quickly shook his head, signaling that he didn’t want anything.
Seeing that not knowing what he was thinking, Tang Xiaobao who suddenly blushed, Ji Ling finally did not say anything more, just went to the boss to settle the bill. Until he heard the number, Tang Xiaobao’s mouth grew wide, thinking that it was really expensive. Looking at Ji Ling who was paying the bill, Tang Xiaobao suppressed his urge to say he didn’t want to buy it anymore.
Until he walked out of the store, Tang Xiaobao still said, “Why are the things so expensive here?”
“Because it’s worth it.” After the two came out, a succession of people went in, some went in to see the bustle, some went in to buy some knick-knacks. “I’ve heard that there’s only one of each item here, and that it’s made by a person who’s skilled in mechanical skill.”
Tang Xiaobao turned his head to look at some of the things in that store that didn’t need electricity, and only needed his own hands to push them to move, and nodded his head, agreeing with Ji Ling’s point of view, it was indeed amazing.
Seems to be because this place is too busy, so many things are not seen elsewhere, of course, the price is also very expensive, but that price in the eyes of the rich, is nothing. With the store door gradually opened, Tang Xiaobao saw some things that he had never seen before, all the way to feel very surprised, not feel bored at all.
But even so, the most popular is still food. Even if you tell yourself that you are already full, but smell some of the flavor, or can not help but want to eat, all the way to eat all the way, wait until noon when Tang Xiaobao is not hungry, and even vaguely feeling full to bursting point .
At noon, going to a famous hotel to eat, but not able to eat, Tang Xiaobao’s chagrined look, Ji Ling hooked up the corner of his mouth shows that he is very happy. So he suggested, “Let’s go to a teahouse first to rest, then we’ll stroll around for a while, and then we’ll go eat again after you’re hungry.”
“Good.” Hearing this suggestion, Tang Xiaobao very obediently as he nodded.
The two of them arrived at the teahouse, which was actually a very elegant place. The inside of the teahouse was made into a corridor shape, in the middle of which a large pond was dug, and the inside was very elegantly decorated.
After the two stepped in, the one who welcomed them was not a waiter, but a woman who looked very gentle, “May I ask how many guests?”
“Two people.” Ji Ling replied indifferently.
After hearing this, the woman smiled for a moment, and then scanned the two of them without a trace, and then led them to the seats on the first floor. After finding out what kind of tea they ordered, she went down respectfully.
Waiting for people to leave, Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling’s eyes and they were simply bright. He suddenly had a very painful idea. Just looking at Ji Ling’s eyes, still a little entangled, entangled with a blushed red face, and then a little annoyed look.
On the other hand, Ji Ling looked at it very interestingly, but also silently, he did not know his Fu Lang thought of somewhat messy things again, or patiently watching him.
Two people sat in a place that looked like a box, but not all closed. There is a side of the pond below, and you can even see the swimming fish below. In the past, people of a certain place could see each other, but could not hear each other’s conversation, because there was actually a special zither and singing. Just look at this enjoyment, Tang Xiaobao will feel that the price is not cheap.
Just now Tang Xiaobao tangled with not this one, looking at the tea on the beauty, the bumpy sexy body, and here to serve the coming and going women, there is a bad association. Wanting to ask if you need someone to stay specially to make tea, will the people be called out. Looking at the person in front of him, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why are the attendants here women?”
Ji Ling took a sip of the tea in his own cup, lifted his eyes to look at Tang Xiaobao, seemed to instantly see through his dirty thoughts, and faintly said, “Because the owner of this store likes beauties, and the people who come here also like to look at beauties.”
Tang Xiaobao suddenly stopped talking and just looked at Ji Ling, skeptically saying, “You like it too?”
“I only like the tea here.” After saying that, he finished his cup of tea in one drink, and then looked at the group of people who had just sat down on the other side of the room.
Obviously he wanted to ask, but after he asked, he was the one who was unhappy, Tang Xiaobao held his chin and looked at Ji Ling, and he didn’t know why he was angry after hearing Ji Ling’s words, and he finished the tea in his quilt in one drink. Afterwards, he thought of something, looked at Ji Ling’s eyes with some curiosity, and still asked, “Is this a place for men to have fun?”
As soon as the phrase “pleasure seeking” came out, Ji Ling looked towards Tang Xiaobao, his eyes were very sharp, as if he was scrutinizing in general as he asked, “Where did you hear this term?”
Instantly felt that the air around Ji Ling is much colder, obviously Tang Xiaobao who was reasoning in his own mind suddenly felt a bit guilty, stuttering and said: “I read it in the book.”
After knowing the answer, Ji Ling gave him a serious look to make sure he was not lying. In her heart, he also secretly thought about going back to Tang Xiaobao’s folk stories books to sift through them again, and threw away all those messy books. Already so stupid, if again confused by the books in the things, and then do something stupid, then what should he do. After making up his mind, he answered Tang Xiaobao’s question, “This is just a place to drink tea.” Seeing the disappointment on Tang Xiaobao’s face, he then added, “If the guest who came here has a liking for the maid who came here, then it’s not impossible for her to follow back.”
After saying that, he only saw Tang Xiaobao’s eyes widen, with an expression that rich people really know how to play. Drinking tea has so many things, but what Ji Ling didn’t say is that basically that kind of thing only happens on the second floor, the first floor is just a place to drink tea.
Since Ji Ling came back, Ji Tao has felt the crisis, in the past, the eldest uncle’s family has no son, no matter whether it is by inheritance, or direct ordination, he always thought that the family will be passed on to him. After all, he is the first son of the Ji family line, and is the most legitimate one. But what he did not expect was that his elder brother, who was about to die of illness, actually came to life, and also got the favor of his eldest uncle, which he had never expected. After all, every doctor has given the last advice, all said Ji Ling lived only two years.
Thinking of this, Ji Tao felt angry, that group of quacks. Just thinking about what he heard when he was living there, I would also think that Ji Ling was not doomed to die, and that he could actually be saved that way. In this way, he was his biggest competitor, especially when his mother indicated that the eldest uncle’s family seemed to favor Ji Ling, he was very angry. He was furious, especially when his mother signaled that the eldest uncle’s family seemed to favor Ji Ling, but up to now, he had not thought of a safe way to get rid of Ji Ling. Therefore, he has been bored for a few days, and today he came out at the invitation of his companions.
Originally, he thought he would rest his feet here and later go somewhere else to have a good time. Who knows a turn of the head, will see that side of the sitting two people, but at this time the two people seem to be seriously talking about something, not even have a slightest intention to look at them here, although like this, Ji Tao still can not help but turn his head to look at Ji Ling, he would like to understand that where this big brother is stronger than him, so his uncle is so fancy of him?
Together going out, basically they were very close with each other and playing so fun. This time, Ji Tao stared blankly in that direction to see. Turning their head to look since they love to see the bustling scene, only to see is a pair of normal husband and wife, so dissatisfied as he said: “What is so fun to look at? Isn’t it only a pair of husband and wife?”
After his friend said that, Ji Tao helplessly withdrew his sight, and then looked at the person standing in front of him. After thinking for a while, he calmly said, “That’s my big brother and his husband.”
This remark attracted the attention of the people around them. Everyone was aware that Ji Tao had a brother, but no one knew him, and the only thing they knew was that he was a sickly man, or the kind that was about to die of illness. Hearing Ji Tao’s words, he turned his head to observe, only to see that the man was very handsome, and the brother beside him was also super cute. However, there was no way to associate him with the sickly son of the Ji family, and those who were not afraid even said, “Ji Tao, are you lying to us? Didn’t you say that your brother is dying? I don’t expect that he’s that healthy.”
Hearing this, Ji Tao was angry, so his tone was also very bad, looked at him and said faintly: “That’s because, I didn’t know from where he found a miracle healer, saved his life, really good luck.”
After hearing this, the surrounding people couldn’t help but observe again and again, until Ji Ling there realized that he turned his head to look at them. That expressionless but imposing look, scaring this side of the circle of people. Those people shrunk their heads and then looked towards the person who had started drinking the tea in his cup as if it were wine since he realized that his family big brother was there, so he carefully suggesting, “Brother Ji, why don’t we go to the Moon Climbing House later to drink some wine?”
Ji Tao glanced at him and put his own cup down, then jolted to his feet and said, “Let’s go, let’s go there right now, this Gong zi is treating.”
A group of people covered Ji Tao and went out, only some people with heart turned to look at their back, only to see that Ji Ling was looking straight at this place, obviously without any expression, but on the contrary, he was scared out of a cold sweat, and he was busy not overlapping and ran forward to catch up with everyone. In his mouth, he muttered, “It’s too scary, how could there be such a scary person.”
That side of the movement also attracted Tang Xiaobao, turned his head to look but it was the figure of Ji Tao leaving, looking at that figure, Tang Xiaobao asked with some uncertainty: “Is that Ji Tao, should we go and say hello?”
Ji Ling took a sip of tea that was worth thousands of money and said faintly, “No need.”
Tang Xiaobao nodded, then leaned back on the soft collapse behind himself, feeling very comfortable. After walking all morning also tired, lying there and closing his eyes not a moment later, then falling asleep.
Ji Ling at first did not notice, until he realized that he turned around and changed a comfortable position to sleep there, only to lose a smile. Putting down the cup in his hand, he ordered his subordinate to go outside and buy a small quilt to cover Tang Xiaobao’s body. Looking at the sleeping person, drinking his cup of tea, not knowing what he is thinking about.
When Tang Xiaobao woke up, already in the afternoon, very chagrined to blame himself, then very guiltily he took Ji Ling to eat late lunch.
Waiting for two people back to Ji Resident, he found that there seems to be something that is not right.
