Chapter 30 Parrot Crying
  Jiang Fengqing also went to a clothing store to select some pieces of silk and satin fabric, measured her figure, and customized the clothes, and asked Xiaoying to pick them up in a few days.

After coming out of the clothing store, Jiang Fengqing took Xiaoying and Tongyue into Deji Hall and bought medicinal herbs such as calamus, perilla leaves, bergamot, albizia, mugwort, and patchouli to help calm the mind and help sleep. Crush it and put it in a sachet.

Thinking of Nangong Li's state, Jiang Fengqing quickly asked the doctor at Deji Hall if he had any medicinal materials for treating stupidity.

The answer I received was that the longer the madness lasts, the harder it is to cure it.

She had no choice but to grab some refreshing herbs. Rosemary has a refreshing and pleasant aroma, which is good for stomach. Mint has a pungent smell. Kuding tea and atractylodes are also good for relieving depression and avoiding filth.

I hope it has some effect on Nangong Li.

Jiang Fengqing took Xiaoying and Tongyue to buy some incense utensils, including incense boxes, incense burners, incense chopsticks, incense shovels, feather brooms, and incense seal molds.

All the big and small bags were left to Tongyue to pick up. Tongyue didn't say a word along the way, and didn't even show an expression. She was really different from Xiaoying next to her.

There were three people in the group, and Tongyue didn't buy anything. She said that she had food, clothing, housing and transportation in Jiang Mansion and there was nothing else she needed to buy.

Tongyue's attitude made Xiaoying feel embarrassed to buy anything anymore, so she restrained herself a bit and scolded her three times before giving up.

Several people were about to go back home, but they were attracted by a strange voice. The voice was high-pitched but crisp, and it felt like speaking with a pinched throat.

"If you want to buy something, bring it with you. Hurry up and pass by. Don't miss this good opportunity! Quack!"

Jiang Fengqing and Xiaoying were attracted by such a strange voice and looked over.

I saw seven or eight people gathered in front of a small stall. Everyone was talking about what they were talking about. The strange voice came out from the crowd: "Don't touch me, bacha!"

There was a sound of breaking ceramics after this sentence, which sounded very interesting.

The more Xiaoying listened, the more she became itchy. She quickly swallowed the last bite of candied haws, and pulled Jiang Fengqing into the crowd to join in the fun, leaving Tongyue standing outside the crowd holding a bunch of things.

Tongyue was not curious at all, as if she already knew what was being sold in the crowd, and seemed indifferent to everything.

"Oh my God! Miss, miss! Look!"

As soon as she squeezed to the front, Xiaoying took Jiang Fengqing's arm and shouted, "It's a parrot! It was actually a parrot that was hawking just now. It's so amazing!"

I saw a birdcage one and a half meters high and one meter wide on the table of this vendor. The cage was very delicate and made with cloisonné enamel to imitate a bamboo cage. The birdcage consists of a tray, a cage frame, a food can, and a bird T-shaped stand.

The whole body of the bird stand is gilt, and there is a small oval-shaped movable door underneath, with filigree enamel patterns of flowers and birds carved on it. The tray has three legs underneath and is engraved with a lotus pattern near the bottom.

The parrot, which is more than one meter long, squats on the bird stand. Its feathers show a pure blue luster under the light. There is a little yellow around the eye sockets and next to the beak. It has a huge and hard beak. At this moment, it is looking out at the crowd surrounding it. .

"It's amazing. It's the first time I've seen a talking parrot."

“Look at the smooth and soft feathers of this parrot, it’s absolutely extraordinary!”

The people around also sighed, and some knowledgeable people among them explained: "This is a purple and blue macaw. The species is very rare. There are less than five in the entire Lin'an City. It is expensive, five or six hundred taels of silver." I can’t even buy one.”

"This brother is very knowledgeable!"

A lazy and gentle voice sounded, and the crowd turned their attention from the parrot to the salesman. I saw the salesman sitting on a small stool by the wall. He had a very outstanding appearance, his eyebrows were long and sparse, and his black hair was flowing down, glowing purple in the sun.

Wearing a dark blue robe with wide sleeves, a black gold belt is tied loosely around the waist, and an emerald green bamboo hollow moon-shaped folding fan hangs on it. His behavior was elegant and leisurely like that of an aristocratic prince.

"Brother, brother, don't just look at the parrot, but also look at the other items in my stall." The salesman stood up, picked up a round box the size of a palm, and handed it to everyone.

He cleared his throat and introduced solemnly: "Look at this incense box with agate and gold inlaid with mythical animal patterns. The material is rare and the workmanship is fine. I got it hard from the southern country."

The salesman took the incense box and walked it around in front of everyone, and then put it into his sleeves like a treasure, "This is the only box in the world. It's expensive but not marketable!"

The parrot on the side flapped its wings a few times in cooperation, stretched its neck and shouted: "Opportunities don't come every day. Take action when it's time to take action. If you miss today's good opportunity, the price may double! Gujiguji."

The parrot's unique voice immediately endeared the crowd of onlookers, and someone immediately took the liberty to ask the price: "How much does an ordinary incense box cost?"

"Hey, brother, you are wrong. This incense box is not ordinary. It is carved from agate." The salesman's face was stern, and he calmly came to the side of the person asking for the price, lowered his voice, and sounded mysterious. Xi said: "My incense box may not even exist in the palace!"

"Wow!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise and started whispering again.

"Not even in the palace? It's a rare item!"

"It looks like the workmanship is really good. The golden beasts carved on it are lifelike. They must have been carved by a master sculptor!"

The man who asked the price asked suspiciously: "Having said all that, how much does your agate incense box cost?"

The salesman reached out and took out the incense box from his sleeve, flattened it in the palm of his hand and showed it to everyone, "No more, no less, fifty cents."

"Fifty cents? Why don't you go and grab it?"

The man who asked the price suddenly raised his voice, his face suddenly turned red, he took a few steps back coyly, and said dryly: "The things my daughter uses at home are just frivolous ornaments. They are so expensive. I I see you shouting here all day and no one buys it."

"That's right, this is just an empty box to put things in. How can it be sold so expensively?"

Even though someone was belittling something, the salesman was not angry. He smoothed things over with a skillful smile: "You look like you have no family at first sight. Girls are so delicate. They naturally like these small and exquisite things. If you buy the things from me, I guarantee that they will be fine when you go back." Make your wife happy. When she is happy, you will naturally be happy too. If you are happy, won't your life be better and better?"

This salesman's thoughts were a bit different. Jiang Fengqing's eyes turned and she unconsciously took a few steps forward to observe the salesman carefully.

I always feel that the person in front of me is inexplicably familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere.

She took a few more steps forward, her eyes always staring at the salesman's handsome face, and she couldn't help but frown. This face shape, these eyebrows...

Why are they similar to Nangong Li?
  Jiang Fengqing had a flash of inspiration and was about to open her mouth when she found that her vision went dark and she was covered by a cold hand.

Then I heard the salesman's joking voice: "Girl, although I have a good-looking appearance and a tall figure, I really don't sell myself. It's useless even if you get in front of me."
