Chapter 45 Willow City
The newly arrived city is called Liucheng.
Gu Changqing couldn't see what was going on outside, he could only feel that the surroundings were full of water vapor, and the sealed air was a bit stuffy, and his body was covered with a thin layer of sweat all the time.There are babbling human voices and the sound of chariots and horses in the ears. People talk in a dialect that is difficult to distinguish the content.It is somewhat similar to the Jiangnan Shuixiang dialect of Wu Nong's soft language that Gu Changqing heard in his previous life, but it is a little harder, not as charming as the latter.
Xiao Heng seemed to understand the uncomfortableness of this sweltering heat very well, he found a place not long after entering the city, and lifted the coffin board: "Come out, there is not much road left, we just need to be careful, we have been here for a long time You have to cover yourself with prickly heat."
Gu Changqing let out a breath, climbed out and shook off his sweaty clothes, which were sticky to his body, making it very uncomfortable to move.
Xiao Heng took out his clothes and threw them to him: "Put on this, and then we'll go shopping."
Gu Changqing found that he would never be able to keep up with Xiao Heng's thinking, looking at the very gorgeous clothes on his hands, don't you think this is too eye-catching?Furthermore: "... shopping?"
If I remember correctly, they are still on someone else's territory, right?Is it really okay to swagger like this?
Xiao Heng nodded affirmatively: "How long can you keep your life?"
Gu Changqing hesitated, and conservatively estimated: "It won't be a problem to maintain it for another half a day."
His transformation is now in a basically predictable state.Although I can't control it freely, I have been working hard, and success is just around the corner, which is really gratifying.
Xiao Heng said: "Enough is enough. Let's go."
Gu Changqing was forced to wear a gaudy brocade, waved an even more colorful fan, and followed Xiao Heng into the street as if he was a big-time performer.Xiao Heng resumed his peddler's attire again, but it was different from the small peddler who was busy and full of vicissitudes last time. This time, he was wearing silk and satin. The colors were simple and elegant, and the style was simple yet generous. It was even more coquettish. Embroidered dark patterns on inconspicuous places, showing a corner of clues very schemingly in every move, blinding people's eyes.In his hand, he held a folding fan used by scribes, but the fan was made of blue satin, with dark patterns embroidered in the same way as the clothes, always inadvertently shaking off a sense of romance and wealth.
It was as if as soon as he entered the steamy Liucheng, the sharp edges and corners of Xiao Heng's whole body softened, blending into the hazy background of misty rain.
He flicked his sleeves and slapped his fans in a serious manner, looking like a Confucian businessman with a touch of literati elegance.
Gu Changqing lowered his head to look at his clothes that he wanted to write the four characters of "magnificence and grandeur" on his chest, and then looked at Xiao Heng's peacock's very subtle attire. He always felt that he was playing himself on purpose.
There was a little smile in Xiao Heng's eyes. Seeing that Gu Changqing was becoming angry from embarrassment, he quickly explained in a low voice: "It's really not that I deliberately tormented you. If you don't know how to do this, people will suspect you if you dress up like this. Liuzhou has a long history. , literati come forth in large numbers, coupled with the picturesque scenery, there are many foreigners who come here to visit. You can save a lot of trouble by dressing up as a nobleman. It is strange for two foreigners to go around blindly, so I have to be the host, saddle up for Mr. Gu Let me give you a little introduction."
Gu Changqing squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "I don't think your young master would be so tasteless that he would wrap himself into a colorful tree and go out on the street."
Xiao Heng spread out his hands, and the opened fan swayed in a flowing arc: "No way, this is to cater to the psychology of the people of Liucheng. They carry the name of 'a famous historical city, a prosperous town, and the best scenery in the world'" After a long time, I always feel that my three-acre land is the essence of the world's essence. It is beautiful and outstanding. The scholars who come out here are the first-class talents in the world, and the businessmen are the most elegant businessmen in the world. Even those who do farm work are better than others. If Mr. Gu is an immigrant, it’s fine if he looks more elegant than the locals, and his taste is a bit higher than the locals, so he will naturally be noticed by everyone. If you follow us secretly for a few days, or investigate carefully unwillingly, you will inevitably show your feet. Therefore, it is better to be low-key."
Gu Changqing, who was forced to be "high-profile (pretending to be a noble son)" and "low-key (pretending to be a stupid rich man with no taste)": ...
This is slightly more difficult.
Although Xiao Heng's nonsensical remarks seemed to make sense, but on the street, especially in the bustling areas, Gu Changqing kept receiving attention from passers-by, watching their eyes reveal the expression of "people who are stupid and have a lot of money." Here comes the guy again" contemptuous eyes, and then all of a sudden walked more confidently with his head held high, still feeling that Xiao Heng had a more fun-seeking mentality.
Feeling his eyes, Xiao Heng immediately smiled into a flower, looking like a bustard welcoming guests: "Mr. Gu has come from a long way, I must let my elder brother do his best as a landlord, come, come, Take a look here, brother pays the bill. Liuzhou is famous for its silk, do you want to cut two new clothes?"
The ending sound is picked up, which turned out to be a very pure Liuzhou accent.But Gu Changqing looked sideways slightly, suspecting that Xiao Heng's addiction to singing big dramas hadn't passed.
I happened to pass by a clothing store with a very elegant storefront. The clerk saw the two people's clothes, and immediately welcomed them in with a smile like a flower.The guy was very shrewd, seeing Xiao Heng turning around Gu Changqing, he immediately understood the master, and praised Gu Changqing from head to toe very politely, his eyes were extremely sincere.
Xiao Heng was also on the sidelines with constant compliments, and the two sang together, "The music is in harmony", which made Gu Changqing suddenly have the feeling of returning to his previous life and seeing "Tuo".
In order to take care of Gu Changqing's taste in dressing, the staff specially led them to a row of colorful and rich fabrics.Eloquently praised each piece of material with different adjectives, then pointed to the most "luxury" ones and said to Gu Changqing: "Young Master Gu, look, these few pieces of material are most suitable for a noble person like you. gone."
The last sentence unconsciously lowered his voice a little, maybe the shopkeeper himself felt a little guilty.
Gu Changqing's really gorgeous and expensive material: ...I feel like I'm being treated like a fool.
The guy's sincere eyes clearly said, people are stupid, they have a lot of money, come quickly, I like this kind of customers the most.You can earn a lot of money, and you can despise it with confidence.It is a double satisfaction of body and mind.
Not to mention that he actually has nothing in his pocket, even if he has so much money that he has nowhere to spend it, he doesn't want to buy this kind of satin that looks like the taste of nouveau riche, okay?In fact, the overall fabrics of this store are very beautiful, and a small area was opened in the corner to put these fabrics, which are of good material but extremely fancy, probably for the nouveau riche.
Seeing Gu Changqing's upturned face, looking critically at the material from the corner of his eyes, but his eyes were actually very tangled, Xiao Heng lowered his head and touched his nose to cover up the corners of his mouth.I feel that after Gu Changqing changed from a fox to a human, even though the once soft and cute little pet disappeared, the daily fun has increased a lot.Well, this deal seems to be a good deal.
Feeling strangely satisfied in his heart, the lord closed his fan and said, "Is Mr. Gu still satisfied? Or want to try Liuzhou's style?"
Gu Changqing pondered: "...uh..."
A voice came into his ears: "Choose some at will, as a thank you for helping me recuperate my body." After a pause, Xiao Heng added another sentence through sound transmission: "There are three times in total, right? Don't refuse, I don't like being in debt."
Gu Changqing was a little surprised, he didn't expect Xiao Heng to be able to distinguish his internal strength, including the last time in the snow mountain and the time when he was poisoned, he always thought that Xiao Heng didn't have any consciousness at that time.But then again, this can only show that Xiao Heng's willpower is terribly strong, and he can still maintain a bit of sobriety in that state, remembering the feeling of others helping him sort out his meridians.
Originally, I thought that I wasn't asking him to reciprocate, but I was relieved when I heard the last sentence.It is true that many people do not like to be indebted to favors, otherwise it will be awkward to deal with in the future, so it is better to accept it happily, anyway, a few sets of clothes are not a big deal.
So I looked around at other materials with a reluctant expression, and raised my voice: "I came to Liuzhou for the first time. It is indeed a well-deserved reputation. The scenery is beautiful everywhere. I only feel that there is a fly in the ointment. The clothes here are too simple to reflect Liuzhou. richness and elegance."
Swish, all the eyes of half the store gathered.Everyone thought, who would dare to speak so loudly?
After seeing the section of the colorful tree that opened the mouth, Qi Qi showed a look of sudden realization, and Qi Qi showed a little bit of contempt just right.
Gu Changqing raised his head, waving his gorgeous fan, with a look of pride that everyone is drunk and the only one awake.
Xiao Heng was quite surprised, and tentatively said: "Then Mr. Gu is..."
Gu Changqing didn't wait for him to finish, and interrupted: "But do as the Romans do, help me choose some styles that Liuzhou people like to wear, and I will also try plain clothes for a while."
Perfectly ignoring everyone's hot eyes, with an expression of "I've done you a lot of face".Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows, this is also an addiction to acting as a domineering dandy.
The store clerk took Xiao Heng to introduce some of the latest materials with great eyesight. Xiao Heng picked out a few good designs, but said that Mr. Gu stayed here for a short time, and there was no time to wait for the tailoring. Gu Changqing's figure is very good, he is a clothes rack, and many clothes can be worn very well, so he bought a few ready-made clothes and changed them in the store.
As soon as he walked out of the changing room, the eyes of the store once again focused on Gu Changqing.There is no other reason, it really looks good, Mr. Pianpian, gentle as jade, with a gentle and elegant temperament between his brows, he is completely different from the embroidered pillow before.
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. The ancients did not deceive me.
Gu Changqing raised his face arrogantly, and said loudly to Xiao Heng with a look of disgust: "I still think it's a little too simple, forget it, let's make do with it for two days. Sigh, Liuzhou people need to improve their aesthetic ability. yes."
Crowd: ...
Shua la la, the eyes that fell on him were withdrawn again.
Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of people who are rich and jaded, but today they meet a leader among them, and it is really...disgusting.
Gu Changqing walked out the door arrogantly, but he also felt the gloom of being despised, and he was refreshed.In a blink of an eye, seeing Xiao Heng carrying a big bag and bringing out a lot of clothes, he couldn't help being surprised, and said in a low voice, "Why do you buy so much?"
With a little smile in his eyes, Heng Xiao also replied in a low voice: "Although the people of Liuzhou are not very good at aesthetics, they are still good at making clothes. You can prepare them for later wear."
Gu Changqing paused, but Xiao Heng was very careful. He had reluctantly borrowed Xiao Heng's unfit clothes before, but he had been hiding in hiding recently, and second, he had no money around him, so naturally he would not think of buying them. Thinking of Xiao Heng, an old man, he actually noticed it too.
Xiao Heng pulled him, jokingly said: "Young Master Gu, you are still too 'high-profile' now, come on, let's continue to dress up and become a 'low-key' 'non-Liuzhou native'."
Next, Xiao Heng dragged him around, bought a lot of odds and ends, including bracelets and beads, and piled them all on Gu Changqing.Every single one is taken out and looked at, they are extremely elegant small pieces, but when they are all hung on one person, a "silly multi-speed" is piled up alive.
Gu Changqing, who was a little moved just now: ...
Is this guy a bad taste?Or bad fun?Or bad fun?Is this cliff playing with himself?
Xiao Heng walked around Gu Changqing in satisfaction: "Well, this is very suitable for Mr. Gu's identity, what does Mr. Gu think?"
Gu Changqing squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "...Thank you for your trouble."
He lowered his voice: "Master Hierarch spends so much money, won't the Devil's Cult have financial difficulties?"
Xiao Heng said: "Don't worry, Wanmo Nest is so poor that only money is left."
Gu Changqing: ...
It turned out that this was the stupid Duosu.No wonder everyone in the arena is thinking about it now.
The sun slanted westward, and it was almost evening.Gu Changqing and Xiao Heng sat drinking tea in a building facing the lake, and there was no one around. Gu Changqing asked, "When shall we leave?"
Xiao Heng said: "Don't worry, the people in Wanjiazhuang don't need the rabble of Shahai Sect. There are quite a lot of capable people. If you are too aggressive, you will be exposed soon. We will have a good tour in Liuzhou for a few days, and then leave by cruise ship, all the way south. "
Gu Changqing nodded: "You are very patient."
Xiao Heng said: "I'm not patient enough, I won't be able to live long ago."
He seldom mentioned his own affairs, and he mentioned them only in a few words, but the vicissitudes in it were always difficult to describe in words.
At this moment, someone screamed, "It's on fire."
To the west of Liuzhou, the flames were soaring into the sky.People inside and outside the building were all clamoring, and more people shouted: "It's the direction of Wanjiazhuang!"
Xiao Heng and Gu Changqing glanced at each other, their expressions becoming serious.
The author has something to say: The past two days have been in chaos...
Fortunately, I finally finished my work, and I can resume the update at [-] pm starting tomorrow~
