Chance Encounter

After thoroughly finalizing the plan to deal with the Underground Palace survivors, Xu Yuan and Bai Muxi did not stay there for long, and took a non-stop ride to Huaijiu Alley, which is famous for Di'an.

Just like when most people mention Misty Willow Alley in Di'an City, they will think of the Dragon Plain River. Huaijiu Alley is one of the most famous commercial streets in Di'an City and is famous for its expensive products.

After finding a place on the roadside to park the vehicle, Xu Yuan led Bai Muxi to the main road.

Although Huaijiu Alley is named after an alley, after several expansions it has become comparable to the spacious main roads in the city. Pedestrians and cars pass by each other, making the whole block look lively and prosperous.

Mixed among the crowd, Xu Yuan felt quite relaxed and comfortable.

The white clouds are blue, the distant mountains are like ink, and the cold wind from spring to winter is blowing in your face, cool but not biting.

This brought back some memories for him.

In his previous life, he didn't like shopping, and even rejected it because of the Internet.

He actually likes this life. After all, there is no way to entertain at home in this life, and he doesn't have to run around for life, so hanging out every day naturally becomes one of the few pastimes.

Of course, the main reason is to hunt for beauty.

The love that Goulan exchanged for money is only temporary after all, and the pure love of chasing beauty can soothe the soul.

He is also a frequent visitor to this Huaijiu Alley.

There is no other reason. Due to the price of goods, almost all the people who come to this alley are rich and wealthy, and the probability of having beautiful women in the homes of rich people is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan also habitually glanced at the ladies on the street.

There are heroines with Veil Hat on their heads and carrying long swords on their backs, and there are ladies' boudoirs with slender waists, gentleness and tranquility.

Sure enough, his memory was not deceiving.

Walking on the familiar streets, memories in the depths of Xu Yuan's mind revived bit by bit.

Memories of the past scenes came to mind, and Xu Yuan suddenly remembered that his reputation for being full of evil seemed to have come from here, and he chuckled unconsciously.

It is widely said in the market that Prime Minister's Mansion Third Young Master is dissolute and robbed women of the people.

But did he actually need to rob him?

Other dudes may indeed need to rob, but he Xu Yuan doesn't need this at all.

Completely out of touch with reality.

Putting aside his identity for the moment, as long as he takes off the human skin mask from his face, he can turn heads of those graceful ladies and heroines dozens of times when he walks on the street.

Can something done consensually be called robbery?

Looking back now, Xu Yuan discovered that many of the noble ladies who slept with Di'an must have gotten together on purpose.

However, it is true that he beat people to death in the street, but that was because he took the initiative to provoke others.

When he was chatting up and getting to know a beautiful woman, he would occasionally have a strange look like a sheep jumping up and down next to him. Even after he and the beautiful woman had a night of love, he gathered a group of friends to block him in the inn.

Of course, many of them are famous teachers.

In this era, many Aristocratic Clan noble ladies marry with their fingers. Xu Yuan When he is hunting for beauty, he often hunts down some noble ladies who are engaged to be engaged, but it is none of his business. If the woman doesn't tell him when she sleeps, how will he know that you are engaged to her?

After the bad reputation spread, over time some scribes came looking for him after smelling the smell.

After all, he, Xu Yuan, was the son of Prime Minister in the current dynasty. He relied on his reputation as a master and used all kinds of quotations from scriptures and rhetoric to humiliate him in the name of righteousness.

This is a unique way of becoming famous in this era.

Scholars with a good reputation were protected by the imperial court. To arrest them, the yamen had to go through many layers of requests for instructions. Generally, a dandy would be scolded if he was scolded in the street, but the question is who is he Xu Yuan?

four words,

Beat the fuck up.

You talk and I do it, that's fair.

To deal with these scribes, Xu Yuan just beat them until they are relieved. After all, if the news of beating people to death in the street reaches the ears of the elder brother, he will definitely be hung up and beaten when he returns home.

But later I discovered that hitting the target was of no use to these literati, and they seemed to be more energetic after being beaten.

And after returning home, whenever Xu Changge heard that he was causing trouble outside, he would be beaten even if no one was killed.

Xu Yuan has finally figured it out.

Anyway, he is going to get beaten anyway, so why not just beat him to death next time, so as to make those flies calm down.

As a result, the first scribe who died in the market soon appeared.

But it is a pity that these literati seemed to pursue the pursuit of leaving his innocence in the world. Instead of stopping, their verbal and written criticism of him became more intense. After returning home, Xu Changge also became more ruthless.

With constant resentment in his heart, he cut off the heads of the second and third "pioneers" with a knife directly in the downtown area.

The cruel methods made those literati feel at peace, but their reputation was completely spread far and wide.

These literati did not dare to provoke him in reality, but they used their pens to spread his reputation throughout Great Yan.

And those who came to cause trouble later were those sects and the Aristocratic Clan disciples, and the vicious cycle continued.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but sigh softly and murmured:

"What the hell is this?"

"Huh?"

Bai Muxi beside him heard this and subconsciously said, "What was the young master just talking about?"

Xu Yuan glanced back at Little White, his face still covered with purple gauze, his ice muscles and snow bones were dazzlingly white under the warm midday sun, and he shook his head:

"Nothing, I remembered some things from the past."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed at a sparse shop not far away:

"I remember that the clothing store called Hongshang seemed to have good quality materials."

Bai Muxi's bright eyes flashed, as if he was aware of the purpose of the clothes he bought, but he was not shy and generous:

"Young master seems to be quite familiar with this street?"

"I used to come here quite often."

Xu Yuan did not deny it. He smiled and pointed at several elegantly decorated ancient buildings not far away and said, "The plaques of these shops are the ones I sold to them before."

"Plaque?"

Bai Muxi raised his eyes after hearing this.

As far as the eye can see, the large characters on the plaque have an indescribable momentum.

"This word is so powerful. Did you write it?" Bai Muxi asked knowingly.

Xu Yuan shook his head and said with a low smile:

"My words are worthless, my father's are."

Bai Muxi smiled softly, sweetly and crisply:

"I think I should have exchanged a lot of silver."

"That's for sure."

The smile on Xu Yuan's face was comfortable and self-satisfied, "My father's handwriting is rare but hard to find. Now Great Yan's original handwritings circulating in the market were all sold by me."

Bai Muxi heard this and lightly covered her red lips, smiling sweetly:

"Young Master actually did such ridiculous things back then. It's really funny."

Xu Yuan shook his head and said leisurely:

"It was quite interesting at first, but it's a pity that I don't like the money anymore."

When I went shopping in Goulan and bought accessories, ten thousand taels was enough to last me a long time, but this kind of personal consumption really didn't even count as a fraction in terms of military affairs.

Chatting and joking with Bai Muxi, the two soon arrived in front of the clothing store called Hongshang. Before they entered, two beautiful female intellectuals came over and bowed, with respectful voices:

"Two distinguished guests, would you like some extra clothes, or some custom-made clothes?"

"."

Hearing two unfamiliar terms, Bai Muxi subconsciously looked sideways at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan first responded, "Go in and take a look before talking", then explained to Little White:

"The ceremonial clothes are for daily wear, while the tattooed clothes are prepared for practitioners and need to be customized."

As soon as I finished speaking, I stepped into the ancient building, and a whiff of elegant incense immediately entered my nose.

The layout of the first floor is somewhat similar to Xu Yuan's previous clothing store, with various styles of women's clothes hung in various categories.

There are underskirts, Chinese clothes, palace clothes, cheongsams, and even some navel-baring red clothes from Western Regions.

There are those who are generous and exposed, and there are those who are stingy and conservative.

There is a dazzling array of things to see at a glance.

Hongshang is a century-old store that specializes in selling all kinds of women's clothing. Xu Yuan has been here several times before, so he is familiar with the rules inside.

Hongshang has three floors in total, the first and second floors are ready-made, and the third floor is custom-made by the shopkeeper.

Without stopping on the first floor, Xu Yuan led Bai Muxi to the second floor of the ancient building. The moment he stepped onto the second floor, Bai Muxi's delicate bright eyes widened slightly.

This is her first time going out for shopping, and it is also the first time she has seen the prosperity of Great Yan through clothes.

Compared with the dazzling array of clothes on the first floor, the second floor is much simpler, but this simplicity is built up with luxury.

The large space is simple and quiet. There are a total of twenty-seven pieces of clothing on the second floor. Each piece is floating in a glass cabinet with mysterious patterns, like a piece of art on display.

The clothing on the second floor of Hongshang is unique in the world.

Although it is just a marketing ploy, the clothes designed by the shopkeeper are indeed beautiful and the materials used are top-notch.

Seeing Little White's appearance as Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, Xu Yuan felt a little funny in her heart. He raised his hand and pinched her soft waist lightly, reminding:

"You can choose it yourself. If you think it looks good, let Zhike pack it up. If there is nothing you like, let's go to the next one."

Bai Muxi was stunned for a moment and asked slightly hesitantly:

"Sir, didn't you choose it yourself?"

The clothes I bought during this trip were indeed for her, but they were for the young master.

Xu Yuan glanced at her and smiled slightly:

"For this kind of thing, I think it would be more surprising if the woman takes the initiative to prepare it."

". Huh?"

Hearing this, Bai Muxi deliberately revealed a hint of doubt in his bright eyes, then he swayed and walked towards the glass cabinets containing clothes.

As I walked, I made silent calculations in my mind.

Now, let's buy a conservative piece of clothing in front of the young master. After returning home, we can sneak out and buy something that the young master might like.

Watching Little White pick out clothes, Xu Yuan also took a chair from Sumeru Ring and sat down.

The beautiful female intellectual guest standing next to Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene. She didn't understand where the guest took out the chair. She subconsciously opened her mouth to persuade, but in the end she swallowed her words.

In order to set off its own style, Hongshang did not prepare soft couches for guests to rest on, but it is not easy for guests to bring their own chairs, right?

For a moment, the only sound left on the second floor was the rustling sound of Little White pacing.

Walking back and forth through more than a dozen glazed cabinets, Bai Muxi was about to raise her finger to point to a skirt with a black background and red edges, embroidered with white silk patterns, when her beautiful eyes suddenly looked towards the stairs leading to the third floor from the second floor.

"Da"

"Da"

"Da"

The next moment, three footsteps stepped down from it.

Raising an eyebrow, Xu Yuan looked back belatedly.

at first glance,

He saw an acquaintance.

The shopkeeper of Hongshang is a woman who still retains her charm.

In my memory, this woman has always adhered to the concept of buying if she likes it, and leaving if she doesn't, and she basically always puts on a bad face when treating guests.

Of course,

If you put a knife to her neck, she will immediately perform a kneeling performance for you.

Thinking about the interesting incident when he taught this woman a lesson, Xu Yuan was suddenly surprised to find that this charming mature woman was leading the way for the two people behind her with a smile on her face.

It seems that the two people at the back have quite high status.

Xu Yuan thought in his mind, but didn't pay much attention to it and continued to wait with his legs crossed for Little White to choose clothes.

Di'an City As the heart of Great Yan, there are too many noble people who can make this mature woman fall to her knees.

"Da"

"Da"

As she walked downstairs, the lower bodies of the two people behind the mature woman soon came into Xu Yuan's field of vision. Judging from their clothes, they were a man and a woman.

The man was wearing a tight-fitting attire and looked very burly.

The woman is wearing a sky blue and light blue palace skirt, exuding tenderness like water.

They look like a pair of wall figures.

However, after the two chests came into view, Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

Not a woman, but a man.

He saw a clan pattern on the man's attire.

Marquis of Martial Achievement Estate.

At this time, the man's calm and smiling voice came over:

"Zhi Yun, in a few days I'm afraid my brother will go north to find his father and Qingyan. This Sky-Clear Fairy-Retaining Dress should be regarded as a birthday gift to you."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused.

The man's heroic eyes swept to the second floor, stopped for a moment on Bai Muxi, and finally fell on Xu Yuan.

He realized that this man Fusion Realm seemed to be the owner of these two people.

looking into each other's eyes,

Xu Yuan was still leaning on the wooden chair, crossing his legs with no intention of putting them down. He held his chin and stared at the three people walking down the stairs with thoughtful eyes.

He... His old acquaintances at Di'an City are really everywhere.

The third day in a row...
