Although Fengyun City is not as prosperous as Sifang City, it is still ranked high in Dongxuan Territory.

Because it is close to the Tianshan Mountains, there is no shortage of jade, medicinal materials, and various metals. In addition, the weather has been good for decades and there has been no war. Businessmen coming and going are willing to come here to do business.

There are some items that cannot be found in Sifang City, but you can also buy them here.

This small town will not wake up too early, because the dust from last night has not yet dispersed. The night market in the city is bustling, with thousands of lights reflecting the blue clouds, and tourists who are looking for fun come in an endless stream.

The refraction of the morning sun only shines on the water delivery man who got up early and the small stall selling breakfast on the street.

The boss and the waiters here will never go out to shout, because those who want to eat will naturally come, and they know who their guests are.

The landlady has developed the magical ability of photographic memory. Customers who have been here once can remember it clearly, and when they come back next time, they will say hello and they will naturally feel friendly.

When the sun rises three o'clock in the morning, teahouses, inns, cloth shops, money shops, Jinbao Pavilion and other business shops in the city will open their doors to greet customers.

Li Ye walked on this lazy street and couldn't help but hum:

The warm breeze makes tourists drunk,

I always regard Hangzhou as Bianzhou.

Agui, who was following behind, was confused when he heard this. He took two steps forward and asked, "Master, where is Hangzhou, and what city is Bianzhou in?"

Li Ye rolled his eyes at Agui and said, "Go and study more if you have nothing to do."

After taking two steps, he thought about it and felt it was inappropriate. He turned back and said, "This is a fiction in the poem. Of course you don't know."

Agui suddenly realized that the young master was still talented and learned.

The two of them started shopping at the shops on South Street, including shops selling gold and silver jewelry, cloth shops selling silk, and even shops selling rouge and gouache, but they didn't see anything they liked.

After turning the corner, they walked to East Street. The shops here looked more grand than those on South Street, and the prices were also much higher. Li Ye and Agui took their time and shopped one by one.

past.

Some cloth shops here simply put their goods in front of the door. At a glance, every household is filled with silk and satin, vying for luxury. There are even clerks standing at the door shouting: "Come and see, from the emperor

New stuff in town.”

Li Ye looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that it was really lively.

After wandering around for a while, the two of them wandered outside Jinbao Pavilion's shop. The waiter inside knew Agui and came out to say hello.

This was the first time Li Ye came back here. When he entered the hall, he saw various jewelry placed on the golden nanmu counter. Hairpins, hairpins, hairpins, hairpins, hairpins, pendants, pendants, finger rings, earrings, and pearls.

Agate, various jewelry.

There are also some famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and various jade carvings are placed in the standing cabinets.

After looking at it for a long time, I felt that there was nothing new, so I turned around and wanted to leave.

At this time, the shopkeeper stopped Li Ye and asked, "Sir, don't you even look down on the items in my shop?"

"It's not that your goods are not good, it's just that I didn't find what I like." Li Ye apologized to the shopkeeper with a fist pump.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he touched his chin and thought for a while, turned around, took out a wooden box from a locked cabinet, and said, "Master, take a look at this, are you satisfied with it?"

Li Ye took it carefully, put it on the counter, and then opened the lid of the wooden box. Inside he saw a pair of Ruyi carved in white jade. They were moist and uncolored, just like mutton fat.

The finishing touch is that there are small pieces of emerald green in the middle, one on the left and one on the right. This is carved from a piece of jade cut from the middle. The emerald green on the left is carved with a lotus, and the emerald green on the right is carved with a lotus.

Phoenix eyes.

When the shopkeeper saw that Li Ye was silent, he thought there was something going on.

He smiled and said: "This is the jade Ruyi that the master in the shop just completed yesterday. It is a jade mined from our Tianshan Mountains. It has not been seen in such a fine color for many years. It is considered a fine product. If you like it, you can buy it and keep it for yourself."

Or give it as a gift, both are excellent choices.”

Li Ye didn't reply, just picked up a piece, put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He thought it would be good to give these two pieces to the two young ladies.

"Shopkeeper, how many gold coins does it cost to buy these two items?" Li Ye glanced at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this and stepped forward and said: "Two pieces cost ten gold coins in total. If you like it, sir, I can give you a discount and only charge eight gold coins for two pieces. How about that?"

When Agui heard this, he opened his mouth and looked at Li Ye and said, "Sir, is this... so expensive?"

Li Ye glanced at Agui and ignored him. He turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I don't know much about jade, I just like it when I look at it. Just ten, but I have a request."

"Young master, it's okay, as long as I can do it, I'll accept it." When the shopkeeper saw that the first business he opened, he sold ten gold coins, and he was naturally very happy.

Li Ye thought for a while and said, "I want to carve a few words on this jade carving. Can you ask the master in the shop to teach you how to use the knife? I want to carve it myself."

The shopkeeper thought it would be easy and ordered the waiter: "Master Chen, please come and bring a piece of scrap material and a carving knife."

After a while, the waiter led a noon craftsman in his forties to the front of the hall.

The shopkeeper came forward and said hello: "Master Chen, this young man wants to buy these two jade carvings you carved. He wants to learn the knife skills from you and engrave words on the back. I'd like to trouble you."

Li Ye also stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted Master Chen, and said, "I'm causing trouble to Master Chen."

The middle-aged craftsman nodded, returned the gift, looked at the shopkeeper and Li Ye, and said: "The techniques for using jade carving knives include horizontal knives, knives, knives, knives, and knives, and they require superb flexibility.

."

He took a step forward and demonstrated the knife in his hand to carve on a piece of scrap material, letting Li Ye watch, and said: "Young master, if you want to carve words, you only need to use this flat knife. You just need to use even force and try it a few times."

After saying that, he handed the knife and the scraps in his hand to Li Ye.

Li Ye took it, turned on the chair next to the tea table in the hall, turned the jade scraps in his hand, and imitated Master Chen's carving technique.

The true energy in the body moves through the fingers, and the force is applied to the tip of the knife. Jade dust is scattered between the fingers, and a jade character in regular script appears on the jade stone.

Master Chen took it and looked at it. He was shocked and said: "Young master's strength penetrates the back of the sword, and his movement is smooth. This skill is profound and he is really good at swordsmanship!"

Li Ye put down the knife, cupped his fist and saluted Master Chen, and said, "Thank you Master Chen for your advice. I will use this knife for a while, please bear with me."

Master Chen also returned the gift, turned around and went into the inner room.

Li Ye took out his money bag, took out ten gold coins, and put them on the counter. He said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I want to give them to two friends respectively. Can you find me two brocade bags?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he said it was simple and turned around to look for it at the counter.

Li Ye took out the jade pendant with carved phoenix eyes from the wooden box and held it in his hand, but his heart was in a daze.

She was thinking that she was about to go into the mountains with her husband, and she didn't know when she would be back. When she came back, Dongfang Yu'er might have gone back to Sifang City with her mother.

Shangguan Wushuang may also have followed Xu Jingyun to practice in the sect. If they want to see each other again, I don't know what year or month it will have to wait.

The little boy still doesn't understand what love is, but he still has the sorrow of parting. Li Ye now understands the song "Ugly Slave" a little bit.

Young people don’t know what it’s like to be sad, they fall in love with the upstairs, they fall in love with the upstairs.

In order to compose new words, I forcefully express my sorrow.

...

Holding Yu Ruyi in his left hand and holding the knife in his right hand, his thoughts were flying into the sky...

The shopkeeper held two brocade bags embroidered with phoenix patterns with golden silk thread. He looked at Li Ye without saying a word. He sat down at the table and ordered the waiter to bring tea.

What came to Li Ye's mind was the poetry in his husband's study, and he wanted to grab a sentence and engrave it.

Keep this moment of time, so that at a certain moment in a certain year, you can still recall this moment.

I want to engrave a love poem that I have read, but I feel it is inappropriate. I also want to engrave a line of Buddha's greetings, but I don't think it is better to engrave the names of the two people? It is even more cliché.

Just when I was distressed, an idea flashed in my mind and I remembered this sentence:

The stranger is like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world.

The carving knife in his hand turned slightly and carved a sentence on the back of Jade Ruyi: People on the road are like jade.

It only took half a stick of incense to carve this jade pendant with a phoenix eye. I brushed off the dust with my sleeves, blew on it, put it in the wooden box, and took out another jade pendant with a lotus carved on it.

I gently wiped the back of the jade pendant with my sleeve a few times, and the strength penetrated the back of the knife. I turned my fingers, and after a while, another sentence was carved:

The gentleman is unparalleled

Putting down the carving knife in his hand, blowing the treasure in his hand, Li Ye murmured softly:

...

Hands as delicate as jade, light makeup is better than applying makeup.

Introduce you into the incense hall and talk about the present and the past.

The stranger is like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world.

Two pieces of jade Ruyi lay quietly in a wooden box covered with brocade cloth, and Li Ye gently stroked them with his hands.

I thought: We will grow up one day, and we may be separated one day. I hope that one day, I can still think of the past.

No matter how sumptuous the banquet is, it will eventually have to break up.

No matter how fragrant the tea is, it will eventually fade away.

When the song ends and everyone goes away, who will be by your side?

Looking at the noisy crowds on the street, and thinking that he might still be practicing in the mountains after the two left, the seeds of separation were planted in Li Ye's little heart.

He closed the wooden box, took the brocade bag on the tea table, said goodbye to the shopkeeper with clasped fists, turned away, left the Jinbao Pavilion, and walked toward the sunshine there.

The autumn wind has risen on the bustling streets, and fallen leaves are wrapped in the autumn wind, bathed in the golden light of the sky, squandering the last of their lives without restraint, rushing towards the bluestone slabs and towards the Liuhe River.

Holding the box in his left hand and holding an autumn leaf in his right hand, Li Ye wanted to vent his depression, so he chanted casually:

Life has no roots, floating like dust on the road.

Scattered and turned around by the wind, this is no longer the case.

We are brothers, so why should we be close by flesh and blood?

Have fun and have fun, fight and drink with your neighbors.

The prime years will never come again, and the morning will never come again.
