Dressed as a villain in the palm of your hand

Chapter 54

 The two continued to go south, passing Biyun Lake and going forward, the scenery along the way was quite different from other places.

There are layers of low hillsides stretching out, the roads are lined with trees with yellowed and dead leaves, and there are occasional houses with blue tiles and white walls. People who look like fishermen come out of them, holding fishing gear as if they are about to go fishing.

Luo Wenxin had never seen such customs before. When she was in good spirits, she would lift the curtain of the carriage and look out.

Those fishermen were so simple, when they saw this carriage and such a handsome young master from afar, they would often show them with friendly smiles, and occasionally speak a few words in dialect that Luo Wenxin couldn't understand.

The carriage moved slowly, and it was already mid-August when it arrived in Qiongzhou.

On the long street, people come and go.

This Qiongzhou is the largest state city along the southeast coast. There is the Nanshan Sword Sect in the front and the Yunyun Valley in the back. .

It's clearly early autumn, but the city is still full of heat waves. Most of the passers-by on the road are wearing light shorts, which is more intense than the heat in the south of the Yangtze River.

Ever since he entered the city, Ji Sheng put on his mask again, but that's not the case, just because of his height and physique, he has quite an imposing aura.

In addition, Luo Wen's complexion was too eye-catching, it was really not easy for the two of them to deceive others.

After getting off the carriage and entering the inn, within a short while, several eyes were already looking at them.

He found a good and quiet inn to stay in, and after everything was arranged properly, the next thing was to find the mark left by Meng Qiao and meet him.

Since Ji Sheng and Meng Qiao accompanied the two people, since they walked the rivers and lakes together, it was rare for them to be separated for such a long time.

But since the last farewell to Gusu, Meng Qiao has not heard from him for a long time, and finally got a letter, which only said that he was waiting for them in Qiongzhou City, but it did not specify where he was in Qiongzhou City.

Fortunately, now that I have arrived in Qiongzhou, it is not too far away from Yunyun Valley, no matter how slow I walk, it will only take ten and a half months, so there is no rush.

Although Qiongzhou City is small, but because it is near the sea, it is quite rich and prosperous.

Looking around, there are rows of teahouses and restaurants on the long street. Every few steps, there are clothing stores, jewelry stores or curio shops with glazed white tiles.

At the end of the long street, there is a slightly larger shop. Outside the shop hangs a plaque with three gilded characters of "Duobao Pavilion".

Entering the store, the decoration inside is also like a plaque, which is a hint of luxury in a low-key atmosphere.

This is the largest jewelry store in Qiongzhou city.

In the coastal waters of Qiongzhou, nearby fishermen go fishing and occasionally catch sea mussels, and naturally they will get some good-quality pearls from the mouth of the mussels.

Apart from pearls, precious jade, crystal beads, etc. from overseas are often visited in the Duobao Pavilion first, polished into exquisite patterns by skilled craftsmen, and then sold at sky-high prices according to the quality.

At this moment, in the huge hall, the atmosphere is quite quiet.

Several maids knelt in a row, each holding a glazed plate above their heads, and each glazed plate contained different jewelry.

Inside the first one is a suet jade bracelet with beads, and inside the other is a pendant inlaid with red agate, all of them are jeweled and exquisite.

These are all the best products in Duobao Pavilion, so it is easy not to show them to others.

But now that they are all taken out, which one they are, they can't catch the eyes of the man in front of him.

The man was dressed in black, with a tall stature, two scimitars on his waist, and a silver mask on his face. He was dressed like a man from the Jianghu.

Although Duobao Pavilion does not accept quacks at all, it is rare for such people to enter the door, but this man is a stack of bank notes - the shopkeeper saw the

amount on it, what else can he say, it is naturally Baba The son welcomed the man in and received him with trepidation.

But when he saw the person behind the man, he suddenly realized—oh, the jewelry Yuemo was bought for this young man.

The shopkeeper is introducing this string of agate pendants newly brought out to the man.

"New product. Guest officer, take a look at this quality, you can't find such a good one again." The shopkeeper said earnestly, "Young master is fair-skinned, wearing this agate pendant will definitely make you look even more attractive.

" Picking up the pendant from the plate, he approached the person on the couch, knelt down in front of him, raised his hand, and grabbed his ankle.

The shopkeeper stood aside, seeing the man's movements, he couldn't help but stop breathing.

It's really that this man's aura is fierce, and this little boy's life is really——

he couldn't help but look at the young man sitting on the imperial concubine's couch.

The boy was dressed lightly, wearing a silky light green T-shirt, and a white veiled cap on his head, with gauze hanging on both sides of the brim.

Qiongzhou is hot, this style of valance is always prepared by Qiongzhou people for sunshade.

But this little boy wearing this veil must not only shade the sun, but also slightly hide his complexion.

But now that they are so close, the shopkeeper can still see the boy's face clearly while the tulle is shaking.

His eyes didn't stay on the young man's face for half a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker, but when he saw the man in black looking at him, he immediately lost his smile and lowered his eyebrows.

...I have never seen such a beautiful young man.

For the convenience of trying on jewelry, Luo Wenxin even removed her shoes and socks.

He just sat on the cushion with his bare feet, his skin as white as a pile of fresh snow.

Holding the agate pendant, Ji Sheng gestured at Luo Wenxin's body for a while, and finally lifted his calf, circled the boy's ankle, and tied it loosely.

The ankle was slender and exquisite, with a red agate hanging on it, making it even more white.

"Do you like it?" The man looked up at him.

Luo Wenxin nodded, "I like it."

He propped his hands on his sides, leaned back slightly, raised his calf, moved his snow-white feet while tilting his head to look at the string of pendants, bent his eyebrows and said with a smile: " This one and that one just now are so beautiful."

After resting for a few days, all the exhausted look from the long journey has disappeared, the young man smiled, not only did Ji Cheng's eyes focus on him, but also a few maidservants who quietly raised their eyes to look at him. He couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Ji Sheng bought some trinkets to make Luo Wenxin happy many times, but most of them were trinkets made by craftsmen, and such precious jewelry was rare.

It's not that they can't afford it, it's just that neither of them has any preference for it -

Luo Wenxin is still like a child, he prefers some novelty toys, or some interesting scriptures.

Not to mention Ji Sheng, he even dressed so casually, let alone had any research on jewelry.

The reason why he came to Duobao Pavilion was because Luo Wenxin dug out the dzi bead left by Yunxiu in the carriage a few days ago.

The small sky-blue bundle was bulging, and it contained a lot of messy things. When Luo Wenxin saw it, he could always think of the embarrassment of that night, so he stuffed it in the corner of the carriage and never moved it.

But seeing that the little clay figurines that he took out to make room that night were still standing outside alone, silently covered with dust, Luo Wenxin took it easy to untie it, and saw those things again. The messy picture album, naturally also saw the bottle of pills and the wooden box containing the dzi beads.

Ji Cheng had already explained to him why the pill was used, and asked Luo Wenxin to keep the porcelain bottle close to his body, in case of emergency.

But that day bead, even Ji Cheng didn't know what it was used for.

The two of them sat next to each other and studied it head to head, but they didn't come to any conclusion.

Luo Wen picked up the bead curiously and looked at it, but saw that the celestial bead was radiant and pinched on the young man's fingertips, but it set off the young man's skin with a more radiant glow than the celestial bead.

Very nice.

This is how it happened.

But after trying all the high-quality products in this store, Ji Cheng felt that all these things seemed superfluous when placed on the young man's snow-white and delicate flesh.

Ji Sheng's eyes fell on his neck and hands, and when he lowered his eyes to look at the string of agates, he frowned slightly dissatisfied.

He stared at the agate pendant for a few seconds, stretched out his hand again, put the boy's calf on his knee, and then removed the thing.

Seeing that the pendant was taken away, Luo Wenxin didn't show any dissatisfaction, and obediently let him take it away.

Because he was rich since he was a child, he never paid much attention to these extraneous things. Although he said he liked it, he would have it if he had it, and it would be fine if he didn't have it.

But when the shopkeeper looked at it, he became anxious.

This agate pendant is already the top product in their store, this man doesn't even look down on it, this, this——

but just as he was about to open his mouth, the man got up and said, "This pendant, and the bracelet just now, together Checkout."

It turned out that he took two items at once.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and immediately overjoyed, "Okay!"

He quickly ordered people to prepare.

Luo Wenxin blinked, seeing that the man didn't really like the look of the pendant just now, but now he bought them all, a little curious, touched him with his hand, and whispered, "I thought you didn't think it looked good."

Ji Cheng sat beside him, held his little feet, put on socks, lowered his head, and said, "It looks good."

Luo Wenxin pursed his lips and smiled.

Since Luo Wenxin likes those things, then just buy them all and give them to him.

But when we go to Yanyun Valley, we must ask Yunxiu again, where else can we get that day bead.

Ji Sheng looked up at him again, as if he was afraid that he didn't understand what he meant, and added, "You look good."

Luo Wenxin was stunned for a moment, and his eyelashes trembled slightly when he met the man's straight gaze. .

Of course he knew he was good-looking.

How could he not know about being exaggerated since childhood.

But it seemed that this was the first time I heard such straightforward words of praise from Ji Cheng.

Ji Sheng is always taciturn. When we first met, he always skipped a few words. If he didn't know, he thought he had a mouth disease.

Nowadays, he still doesn't talk much, and occasionally says some embarrassing things, but most of them are expressionless and concise.

Complimenting him for his good looks is the same.

——you look good.

Luo Wenxin looked at the man's deep and straight silhouette, as if there was a little rabbit hiding in his chest, when he poked him with a word, he jumped up and down lively.

He pursed his lips, his cheeks seemed a bit shy, he lowered his face, with the tulle wrapped around his face, and said softly, "Then...then I think it looks good too." Duobaoge made an

order Big business, everyone from top to bottom is beaming.

The shopkeeper happily sent the two guest officers out, and stood outside the shop again, waiting for the backs of the two to be completely out of sight, before turning around and wanting to go back into the shop.

At this moment, another man in black came from the right side of the long street and walked straight towards Duobao Pavilion.

The man was of medium stature, but he was well dressed, the shopkeeper was overjoyed, he thought he was lucky today, he was busy welcoming him in, but before he took two steps, his arm was grabbed.

The shopkeeper was almost staggered by the pull, and when he turned around, it was the man who pulled him.

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "What's your order, sir? But do you want to see what's new? We have..." The man's

gaze was like a falcon, he stared at the shopkeeper, and suddenly put his hand into his sleeve.

"Excuse me." The man stuffed something into the shopkeeper's hand, and said in a deep voice, "I want to find out where those two people came from just now.

" As far as the eye can see, the palm of the hand is golden-

it turns out to be gold.

He looked up to see the man's expression, and was about to say something, but was frightened by the man's sullen look, he answered again and again, thought for a moment, and said a few words.
