Lanke Chess Edge

On the way to Juntianfu City, Ji Yuan also thought about a question, why didn't he see the catastrophe when he came to this world before, but had to wait until the time before Yanqi.

When Ji Yuan couldn't figure it out, he made a hypothesis, and then found out that if this happened when he just came to this world, then Ji would die without a life.

And at the previous juncture, it happened to be the moment when Ji Yuan consciously cultivated himself, it was the time when he realized that the first stage was complete, his body and mind were in harmony with nature, and he had the ivy sword in his body.

Perhaps it was almost at a point where he could bear it, and some kind of mystical method triggered the fateful observation, which made him know many things that he didn't know before.

As it turned out, it was a close call.

In fact, Ji Yuan had also been vaguely aware of this a long time ago. The experience of the chess pieces in two lifetimes also made him a little psychologically prepared, but at that time he thought that it was very likely that the chess pieces would need to be completely solidified to be an opportunity. self endurance.

As for who is the master who set up the chess game, why the chess game in Niutoushan was so bleak at the beginning, whether they were dead or alive, and why he was needed to trick someone into playing chess, it is not something that can be figured out now.

. . .

It's the autumn season, and the things sold on Juntianfu Street are more diverse.

Because of the season, the melons and fruits in Fucheng are more abundant at this moment, before Ji Yuan enters Juntianfu City, there are already lively cries from inside.

Almost every once in a while, you can smell the aroma of fruit and hear the cries, such as pomegranate, orange, persimmon and so on.

Ji Yuan, who has experience once, will naturally not show up in ragged clothes this time, but uses a trick to blur his vision, and goes straight to the clothing store in the city.

There are only a few spells that Ji can count with his fingers, and they are almost out of his reach, especially the improvement of mood brought about by Yanqi has a qualitative impact on the use of spells .

Ji Yuan found a decent clothing store in the city and went in. There happened to be two women looking at the clothes in the store. Before entering the store, Ji Yuan smelled a faint smell of rouge and gouache, probably not ordinary people. After all, no woman from an ordinary family would spray this thing on a regular basis.

"Guest officer, do you want to see the fabric, or the clothes, or do you want to have a tailor-made or buy ready-made? I think you have a well-proportioned figure, and many of the clothes in the store are suitable!"

There was only one clerk in the store, and when he saw Ji Yuan coming in, he immediately greeted him, but although he couldn't see Ji Yuan's ragged clothes, he caught a glimpse of the weird "hairpin" on his head, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a There was a crooked branch, and the look in his eyes suddenly looked a little weird.

The woman next to her seemed to have just seen something she liked, calling out to the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, this pink silk is really nice, how much is it for a piece, how about making clothes?"

A mouth is not a few feet but a horse, and the shopkeeper is immediately happy.

"Hehe, the two girls are really discerning. These pieces of pink silk were shipped all the way from Wanzhou. The silk is woven. You can feel how smooth it is. It must be comfortable and beautiful when made into clothes!"

"Oh, how do you calculate the price!"

One of the women said impatiently.

"Oh, hehe, after all, this is the high-quality silk and satin shipped from Wanzhou, so the price will naturally be more expensive, this one...Ten taels of silver!"

Twelve taels?

The two women hadn't spoken yet, and Ji Yuan was a little startled. This silk is really worth more than gold, and a piece of cloth can only make a few clothes, but it is worth a year or two of ordinary people's consumption. No wonder ordinary people can't consume it at all. rise.

"Okay, this one is all I need, wrap it up for me, we will find someone to make the clothes ourselves!"

"Hey, good, wrap it up!"

The shopkeeper's face was full of joy, the two girls didn't even pay back the price, they really made a profit today, and while they were picking up the silk, they saw that Ji Yuan also imitated what the two girls did just now, stretching out his hands to touch the various silks and satins hanging up. .

"This guest officer, hey guest officer, uh ha, this... This shop is a small business, here are all juan, silk, silk, that..."

The shopkeeper tried to express his concerns tactfully.

Ji Yuan retracted his hand and smiled at him.

"Okay, I'm just touching to see how the silk is different today. Shopkeeper, help me choose two clothes, no, how about three clothes?"

In order to avoid trouble, Ji Yuan had already taken out a piece of silver from his bosom when he was speaking, which immediately made the shopkeeper more happy.

"Okay, okay, wait a moment, guest officer, I will wrap the silk and satin for these two girls first!"

The two women are also quietly observing Ji Yuan, after all, there are only four people in the shop.

The visitor's eyes never fell on them, or they just glanced at them.

They didn't feel angry that their beauty was ignored, but they were surprised that the sight of the visitor seemed to be unclear at all, and they only touched the cloth just now, and their eyes didn't see the cloth at all.

What's more, the clothes are upside down, and the bun hair is so loose but it can't arouse disgust. It should be very funny to use a branch as a hairpin, but I can't laugh when I look at it.

When Ji Yuan entered the store, he glanced at the two women. Their spirits were really not rich, but full of energy and blood. Hearing the long breaths of the two, they were probably Lianjiazi, but he didn't want to pay too much attention to it.

"You two girls, the peach blossom silk is wrapped, this money..."

"Hey, quite a few of yours!"

"Hey good!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly went to the front of the stage and picked up the small scale to weigh, and after confirming, he handed over the silk and satin to the two, and waited to see the two women leave before immediately entertaining Ji Yuan.

"Guest officer has been waiting for a long time. What style do you want? Confucian shirt robes, double-breasted long clothes, strong corsets and regular clothes, all of them are ready-made in our shop!"

"Well, bring me a blue shirt, a white shirt, and a gray shirt. All of them need wide-sleeved robes. By the way, I also need to bring inner lining, and I need both underwear and pants."

"Okay, it's just a whole body from the inside to the outside. I know, I know, let me measure your skills first."

The shopkeeper took the wooden ruler from the counter to measure for Ji Yuan, and the value was measured in two or three strokes, but he had the illusion that the touch of the clothes on the customer's body was a bit strange, but he didn't think much about it.

As if in order to ease the recklessness of his previous words, he chatted with Ji Yuan when he was picking out clothes for him.

"The two female guests just now are really strange. They are obviously not ugly, and they insisted on messing up their faces. I don't know if they really don't know how to make up or do it on purpose."

"Hehe... Maybe I really don't understand, but why didn't the shopkeeper remind them just now?"

Ji Yuan laughed when he heard the words, since he couldn't see clearly anyway.

The shopkeeper looked outside.

"How can this be? Wealthy female guests are the most unfavorable, especially their appearance. As I said, can they recognize good words or bad words?"

"Hahaha... Makes sense, makes sense, the shopkeeper is a sensible person!"

Ji Yuan is also happy, sweeping away a little of the previous depression, it is rare to have the feeling of hearing a joke from the previous life.

"Hey, right? Come on, guest officer, try on these outfits, they definitely fit you!"

During the conversation, the shopkeeper had already picked out a coat for Ji Yuan...

After about a quarter of an hour, Ji Yuan came out of the clothing store, already changed into a brand new white shirt, and carrying a cloth bag bought from the store, which contained two other outfits, which cost a total of 600 Wen. One day and one place with that peach blossom silk.

As for the tattered clothes still in his hands, Ji Yuan folded his palms together, and the tattered clothes turned into shreds and floated under the street gutter.

The direction Ji Yuan is heading at is exactly where he went to the street where he grabbed the chessboard. Vendors generally don't like to change places to sell things unless necessary. It is very likely that the peddler is still in the same place.

Just chatting with the shopkeeper in the clothing store, I have already learned that it is already fifteen years of Yuande, which is not too different from Ji Yuan's vague estimate.

He bought a change of shoes on the way, and after walking for less than two minutes, Ji Yuan found the previous street by feeling, and he heard the peddler's voice again.

"Jade ornaments, newly arrived jade ornaments, jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade rings, all of them are good jade~~~~"

The hawker was yelling vigorously, but not many people stopped to look at the stall. When they were thirsty, they picked up a bamboo jar to drink water, and found a gentleman in white shirt standing in front of the stall.

The peddler cheered up and hurriedly greeted him.

"Guest officer, I see that you must be a learned person. Let's buy a piece of jade. Scholars say that a gentleman is like jade, and a gentleman is like jade. Look, these jade ornaments here are so green!"

Although Ji Yuan couldn't see the specific styles of these jade wares, but jade is very special, good jade has its own breath, like the piece of jade given by Wei Wuwei, the ones on the booth, not to mention the breath, he stretched out his hand to feel the aura If you look around, you will know that not only the workmanship is poor, but the jade quality is also inferior.

Ji Yuan skipped the green ones, and picked out a hairpin with a grayish ink color to ask the peddler.

"How much is this hairpin?"

The peddler looked at it, and found that the rough jade hairpin was the worst kind in his stall. Seeing Ji Yuan's appearance, he hesitated for a moment, and quoted a price.

"Thirty Wen!"

"Hehe...a jade hairpin is only thirty coins? I can't get enough of it, it's not enough, I think it's... worth a tael!"

Ji Yuan talked to himself, pulled off the branch above his head, directly inserted the jade hairpin into the bun, and then took out a small handful of broken silver from his bosom, which would only be more than one tael and not less than one tael.

"Here, this jade hairpin is worth the price! You don't need to look for it, hehehe... Not bad, this jade hairpin is really good..."

The peddler blankly held the broken silver handed over by Ji Yuan, and looked at the man in the wide-sleeved white shirt talking to himself in a daze, and left without looking back.

'This person, just leave? '

When Ji Yuan was about to walk twenty steps, the peddler seemed to have just recovered and looked at the money in his hand.

'This must be two or three months of profit...'

After the hawker hesitated again and again, he finally gritted his teeth.

"Hey~~~~ That guest officer~~~Guest officer~~~The jade hairpin is not worth so much~~~It's really useless!"

Ji Yuan stopped, with a smile on his face, he looked back at the peddler over there meaningfully.
