Chapter 192 Xuan Cang returns
Ruda, who was riding a horse next to him, saw the commander suddenly appear and his eyes widened in surprise, "Commander, you have not been in the princess's residence for several days. His Highness even specifically asked about your whereabouts. Have you settled the affairs at home?"

Xuan Cang nodded lightly.

Ruda breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. You'd better go and confess to His Highness later."

Xuan Cang glanced at the Qingli carriage beside him and said, "I know."

In the carriage, Ruihe was equally surprised when he heard the conversation between Luda and Xuan Cang outside.

"Your Highness, Commander Xuan Cang is back."

Qin Shuhuang's hand holding the book paused, but she didn't expect that Brother Can Wang would accompany her out as soon as he recovered.

Qin Shuhuang nodded, and there seemed to be no surprise in her eyes. She asked Ruimiao to take out a small plate of snacks from the food box she brought with her, and then threw a black pill into her teacup, letting the pill melt in the teacup. , and finally poured the tea into an empty water bag.

After doing this, Qin Shuhuang told Ruihe, "When we get to the place in a while, I will get off the carriage and give the snacks and water bag to Xuan Cang, tell him this is his lunch, and let him eat them all."

His Highness is proficient in treating poisons. Thinking of the black pill, Ruihe felt that Xuan Cang was going to be in trouble. The black pill might be some kind of poison.

His Highness was angry that Commander Xuan Cang suddenly left and suddenly came back, so it was appropriate to give him some minor punishment.

I hope that after Xuan Cang has suffered this time, he will not do such things to displease His Highness in the future.

Ruihe nodded in agreement.

Seeing Ruihe's expression, Qin Shuhuang knew what she was thinking.

Xie Xuanye went out dressed as Xuan Cang and stayed by her side, so naturally he couldn't drink the medicine.

What she had just put into the teacup was a pill with similar ingredients. It had the same effect as the decoction Xie Xuanye drank. His illness had damaged the root of his body and he could not stop taking the medicine so quickly.

Pills are not as effective as decoctions and can only be used temporarily as an emergency.

The carriage traveled very fast. Since the flood, there had only been one light rain in the suburbs of Beijing, and the road was smooth. It was no later than [-] o'clock in the morning when they arrived outside a market in the suburbs of Beijing.

Because the surrounding construction sites start work at Chen time and finish at You time, the busiest time in the market every day is before Chen time, after You time, plus half an hour at noon.

Since we are not in the capital city, there is no curfew, so the market opening hours are very wide, and many vendors who can endure hardship only stop working at midnight.

A small wave of night markets has spontaneously formed in this market, which is unique in the capital.

At this time, although the market was past its busiest time, there were still many people.

Most of the people coming and going were women, children, and older people.

Qin Shuhuang got off the carriage, accompanied by Ruimiao, and walked towards the market with Mr. Liu.

Ruihe stopped Xuan Cang, who was about to follow, and handed him the snack box and water bag, "Commander Xuan Cang, this is what His Highness has given you. The tea in the water bag was made by His Highness himself. You must drink it." Finished. There are snacks in the food box, your lunch."

After saying that, he blessed Xuan Cang slightly and caught up with Qin Shuhuang.

Xuan Cang hung the food box beside the horse, glanced at Qin Shuhuang's back, then unscrewed the water bag and poured it into his mouth.

The water bag was indeed filled with tea, but the taste was different from ordinary tea. It was strange and had a bitter taste.

Thinking of the meals Qin Shuhuang had personally cooked before, it seemed that it was not surprising that His Highness could make such tea...

Although the tea tasted terrible, Xuan Cang still drank several sips without spilling a drop.

After drinking half of the tea, Xuan Cang hung the water bag on his waist. Before going back today, he would drink all the tea in the water bag.

Seeing it with his own eyes, the scale of the market was beyond Qin Shuhuang's expectation.

Entering through the market entrance with Liu Renren, you can see the long market at a glance!
Liu Renren's eyes also lit up on his wrinkled face. Although he planned these places, he always ordered his officials to work. Until now, he has not come to see them in person.

That's why he was so surprised. "Madam, please come inside."

During this period, from time to time, old shops in Beijing would send their waiters to set up stalls in the market. More and more wealthy merchants came in and out, and the people here were used to it.

Now that Qin Shuhuang and his party were wearing the clothes of ordinary rich households, the people thought it was another rich householder who came to inspect the market, and they didn't find it strange.

Although the people here are poor, they can have enough food and clothing. They can build a house together and have food and meager wages. They don't have to worry about their stomachs and they can make a living. The public security here is actually better than that near the capital.

Entering from the market entrance, there are small vendors doing various businesses.

Those selling needles and threads, pots and pans, pickled vegetables, salted fish and meat, all kinds of snacks, crude tea snacks, etc.

Walking further inside, Qin Shuhuang actually saw the stalls of some big shops in the capital.

Hu cake buns from the sixth wife's house, small silver jewelry from Deji, coarse cloth from the silver embroidery house, rice wine from Taohuayuan...

The guys who were assigned to set up stalls were all in high spirits.

Apparently business is good.

Liu Renren did not expect that these merchants would settle in the market that had just opened less than a month ago, and his face was filled with joy and surprise.

"Uncle Liu, let's go over and take a look?"

Liu Renren stroked his beard and nodded.

Qin Shuhuang walked to De Keji's stall and saw that the stalls were filled with exquisite and small silver jewelry.

Many hairpins and beaded flowers are matching, including not only these, but also silver bracelets, silver locks, silver earrings, etc.

The goods sold by Deji in Jingzhong are very different.

Deji Qin Shuhuang in the East Market also visited it. It has a large facade with three floors.

Jewelry of various textures are displayed in the lobby, most of which are gold, silver and jade. On the second floor, there are also various gemstone and pearl jewelry accessories.The third floor sells all kinds of expensive decorations. A coral ornament costs 2000 taels!

But the style of this Deji stall in the market is completely different from the one in Beijing.

Qin Shuhuang frowned slightly, a little suspicious that this stall was a fake Deji.

She took out a silver lock and looked at it carefully.

The quality of the silver lock is good, and the pattern on it is also auspicious. Except that the workmanship is not as fine as the Deji in Jingzhong, the rest is not bad.

Seeing Qin Shuhuang holding the silver lock and looking at it, the enthusiastic waiter smiled and said: "Madam, do you like this silver lock? This silver lock is small and exquisite, and is most suitable for children. Before taking out the silver lock, the small one was specially placed on the Buddha If you worship it for three days before, it can bless your child to live a long life and be healthy and strong. You are definitely right to buy this silver lock."

Qin Shuhuang raised his eyebrows when he saw that the clerk was eloquent and asked, "How did you sell this silver lock?"

Seeing that she was interested, the clerk was even more enthusiastic, "If you buy it alone, it costs one hundred cents. If you choose another one, I will give you a [-]% discount. Madam is young and beautiful, and any of the jewelry next to her will match you."

"What if I want to buy three pieces?"

The clerk's eyes lit up even more when he heard this, "I'll give you [-]% off on three small items!"

Qin Shuhuang picked out the silver lock, a silver bracelet, and a silver hairpin. After discounting, the total was three taels of silver.

Next to him, Mr. Liu has a cool look on his sleeves. He is a typical upright official. He usually gives his salary and money to his old wife, and the old servant who follows him when he goes out will not bring more than one tael of silver. Obviously, he cannot pay Qin Shuhuang.

But Ruihe Ruimiao didn't expect that His Highness would buy things from the stalls when he went out. He only brought 50 taels of silver notes with him, and obviously he couldn't find them.

Just when Ruihe was in a hurry to change the banknote, Xuan Cang, who was following Qin Shuhuang, handed a small ingot of silver to the clerk.
