Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chapter 142: Soft-hearted
After changing into Tang Dynasty costumes, Ye Jiangnan and Yu Shu went to the Tang Dynasty.

Ye Jiangnan did not go directly to Li Shimin's palace, but went to Chang'an City.

Ye Jiangnan was wearing a white shirt, a leather belt around his waist, and a black hat on his head.

In order to look better and match his hairstyle more harmoniously, Ye Jiangnan also grew his hair long.

However, his hair was not loose.

It is tied up and tied on the head.

Yu Shu was wearing a pink dress and had lipstick on her lips.

The two of them walked on the street, causing passers-by to look back frequently.

"Sir, is this the Tang King's Chang'an?"

"It looks much more prosperous than Xianyang!"

Yu Shu said in surprise.

She thought that Xianyang City was already very prosperous.

However, no one expected that Li Shimin's Chang'an City would be even more prosperous.

Yu Shu didn't know how big Xianyang City and Chang'an City were.

But Yu Shu knew that there were many more people traveling and doing business in Chang'an City than in Xianyang City.

"Yes!"

"Compared with Xianyang, Chang'an is indeed much more prosperous."

Ye Jiangnan said.

"Then why is Chang'an City so much more prosperous?"

Yu Shu asked in confusion.

"Could it be that the King of Tang governs better than the King of Qin?"

If Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin were here, when they heard Yu Shu say this, one of them would definitely have a gloomy face and the other would have a happy face.

However, it is normal for Yu Shu to ask this.

She doesn't know much about the Tang Dynasty, nor does she understand its current influence in the world.

Ye Jiangnan explained:

"Well... you could say that."

“But, not entirely.”

"First of all, Chang'an is larger than Xianyang, and has a larger population."

"Secondly, with the current influence of the Tang Dynasty in this world, there are a lot of merchants coming and going, which makes the Tang Dynasty so prosperous."

"Also, Chang'an City has two commercial districts: East Market and West Market."

"We are in East City now."

"Now we can see at a glance that these shops are all-encompassing and sell everything."

Following Ye Jiangnan’s words, Yu Shu looked forward.

At a glance, there are wine shops, cloth shops, tailor shops, porcelain shops, pastry shops, jewelry shops, etc.

In addition to these shops, there are also many vendors selling their wares.

"Hey, sir, why does that person look so strange?"

"We both have black hair and black eyes."

"But that person is blond and has a thick nose!"

Yu Shu was very curious and surprised when she saw a foreigner wearing strange clothes over there.

It was the first time she met a foreigner.

"That one is not from our Chinese people."

“He’s a foreigner!”

While Ye Jiangnan was speaking, the foreigner walked towards Ye Jiangnan and Yu Shu.

The foreigner came to Yu Shu with a faint smile on his face and said in a very poor accent:

"My beautiful lady, I have just arrived in Chang'an not long ago and am not very familiar with the city."

"Can you take me around Chang'an City?"

After saying this, without waiting for Yu Shu to speak, he took out an ingot of silver from the bag on his back.

"To repay you, this is my reward to you."

People passing by stopped to look curiously.

"Wow! Such a big ingot of silver!"

"Sure enough, this Persian is rich!"

"Uncle didn't lie to me. The Persians are just stupid and rich. They actually gave me fifty taels of silver just for showing me the way!"

"Beauty, please agree! This is fifty taels of silver!"

"Yes! Beauty, if you don't agree, then I will agree!"

A group of people were talking about it.

Fifty taels of silver was a year's expenses for them.

If I had these fifty taels of silver, I wouldn't have to worry about not making money this year.

Yu Shu frowned and looked at the blond Persian in front of him, and said in a cold tone:

"No."

The Persian seemed to have guessed that Yu Shu would reject him.

He turned his head to look at Ye Jiangnan and asked Yu Shu:

"Is it because of him?"

Ye Jiangnan smiled at the Persian, then his face darkened and he uttered one word:

"roll!"

When the Persian heard this, his face changed and he said angrily:

"I thought that you Tang people were all warm and hospitable. Now it seems that I was wrong!"

"You Tang people are just a bunch of barbarians!"

After he finished speaking, the people who were originally watching the show and talking about it suddenly became quiet after hearing what he said.

The look in the Persian's eyes was full of hostility.

The Persian, not realizing this at all, continued:

"I said so directly!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Yu Shu:

"This woman, I..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a flash of silver light and the Persian's arm flew out.

Blood spurted out directly, accompanied by the Persian man's wailing.

"Ah! My hand!"

"my hand!"

The Persian fell to the ground in pain, covering his missing right arm with his left hand.

Everyone watching the show was startled by Ye Jiangnan's sudden attack.

They didn't expect that Ye Jiangnan would be so cruel.

The scene became much quieter.

"it is good!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and everyone at the scene finally came to their senses.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people followed suit and cheered.

"it is good!"

"These Persians should be taught a lesson! They look down on others just because they have a little money!"

"Good job! These foreigners are so annoying! They act like they are the common people of Tang Dynasty and act like they are the common people of Tang Dynasty!"

"My dear, please leave quickly! When the Jinwu Guards arrive, we will cover you!"

"Yes! My dear, hurry up and leave! It will be terrible if we are caught by the Jinwu Guards!"

The people around him persuaded Ye Jiangnan to leave.

They had long been fed up with these foreigners abusing their power in the Tang Dynasty.

But they are just ordinary people and can’t do anything.

You can only turn a blind eye.

Ye Jiangnan stood there and said with a smile:

"Thank you all!"

"No, I'll wait here!"

When everyone heard that Ye Jiangnan wanted to stay here, they tried even harder to persuade him.

"My dear, please listen to our advice and leave quickly!"

"If you don't leave now, the Jinwu Guards will come and you won't be able to leave!"

"They are on the side of foreigners. Even if we are right, we will be wrong in the end."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shu whispered to Ye Jiangnan:

"Sir, why don't we go?"

Yu Shu was worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so she persuaded Ye Jiangnan to leave.

“I can’t leave now.”

Ye Jiangnan looked forward.

I saw a group of soldiers holding Tang swords walking towards this side.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The Jinwu Guards came aggressively and scolded the people who were watching around.

When the common people saw the Jinwu Guards, they quickly stepped aside.

The Jinwu Guards pushed through the crowd and came in front of Ye Jiangnan.

"What are you doing!?"

The Jinwu Guard glanced at the Persian lying on the ground and asked sternly. The Persian covered his bleeding shoulder and said hurriedly:

"General!"

"It's him!"

"He cut my arm off!"

"Is this your Tang Dynasty's attitude towards us Persians?"

As soon as the Persian finished speaking, Ye Jiangnan glanced over.

Ye Jiangnan stretched out his finger and pointed at the Persian.

"what!"

The Persian yelled and a blood flower appeared in the middle of his chest.

The Jinwu Guard was shocked when he saw this, and quickly drew the Tang sword from his waist and pointed it at Ye Jiangnan.

"Who are you?!"

"Why do you want to kill people?!"

The leading Jinwu Guard asked angrily.

"Someone, take this guy down for me!"

However, although the words were spoken, not a single Jinwu Guard moved.

They stared at Ye Jiangnan's fingers, some feeling frightened and a little scared.

They were afraid that Ye Jiangnan would point at them like he had just done to the Persian, and then a flower of blood would appear on his chest.

"Go on!"

"You guys go ahead!"

The leading Jinwu Guard shouted loudly.

Even though he shouted very loudly, not a single Jinwu Guard moved.

They were usually too arrogant.

If they had met ordinary people, they would have taken action long ago.

Arrest people directly and take them to jail for interrogation.

If the family is rich, they will release the person for some money.

Those without money will be kept in jail and tortured severely.

Seeing that these Jinwu Guards didn't understand, Ye Jiangnan looked at them with disdain, and then said to Yu Shu:
"Let's go."

After saying that, Ye Jiangnan turned around and left with Yu Shu.

Seeing this, the leading Jinwu Guard pointed a knife at Ye Jiangnan:
"stop!"

"Don't go!"

“Stop!!!”

Ye Jiangnan ignored him and walked forward on his own.

The leading Jinwu Guard wanted to go forward and chase after them.

But he was also worried. Ye Jiangnan pointed his finger at him, and then nothing happened to him.

We all come out to "work", and it's not to the point of working ourselves to death.

Whose life is not life?

It’s just a small amount, just one month’s salary.

Why risk your life?

Ye Jiangnan and Yu Shu disappeared from everyone's sight under the gaze of the Jinwu Guards.

The leader of the Jinwu Guards looked down at the Persian lying on the ground, who was already dead, and snorted coldly:
"Carry him back!"

"I'll report this to the higher-ups!"

Without Ye Jiangnan's presence, these Jinwu Guards have regained their former spirit.

"Yes!"

After the Jinwu Guards dispersed, the crowd that had been watching looked at the direction Ye Jiangnan left with a confused look on their faces.

"Did I see it right? The Jinwu Guards didn't arrest anyone?"

"Yeah! This is so weird! Not only did they not catch anyone, they even killed him right in front of the Jinwu Guards!"

"These Jinwu Guards are just a bunch of bullies who only fear the strong and bully the weak!"

"That's right! If that young man didn't have some skills, he would have been captured by the Jinwu Guards long ago!"

Everyone was talking about it.

Some admire Ye Jiangnan, some belittle the Jinwu Guards, and some even lament the state of the world.

This is the way the world is today.

Like those Jinwu Guards just now, they flattered them when they met them and called them "General".

In fact, these people are shitty "generals"!
They are just ordinary soldiers, and the power they hold is not as much as that of a ninth-rank official.

But just this little bit of power makes the people dare not offend.

"Hey... let's disperse..."

I don't know who let out a long sigh, then sent everyone away.

……

After Ye Jiangnan and Yu Shu left, they continued to stroll around the East Market leisurely.

"Which great calligrapher wrote this?"

"The first time you see this word, you're mesmerized. The second time you see it, you can't let it go. The third time you see it, you want to become one with it!"

"It's really amazing! Even if Wang Xizhi were still alive, his calligraphy would not be as good as the calligraphy hanging on the Zuixian Tower!"

"That's right! Great words! Great words!"

Yu Shu, who was shopping with Ye Jiangnan, heard someone discussing calligraphy and looked over in confusion.

there.

A group of people dressed like scholars gathered in front of a store.

Yu Shu turned her head and said:

"Sir, they seem to be discussing a painting over there."

"I want to go over and take a look."

Ye Jiangnan naturally also heard what the group was discussing.

Judging from the content of that group of people's discussion, it seems that they are discussing their own calligraphy and paintings?
"Ah."

Ye Jiangnan nodded.

The two walked over.

Yu Shu glanced at the scholars and literati gathered here, and followed their gaze towards the entrance of Zuixian Tower.

At the entrance of Zuixianlou, the couplet written by Ye Jiangnan is still hanging there.

Looking at the calligraphy and painting, Yu Shu didn't feel anything.

It’s not that there are no feelings.

It should be said that Yu Shu only saw the calligraphy and painting as if she saw a calligrapher showing off his calligraphy.

Yu Shu only felt that the couplet was very neat and the handwriting was stunning.

"Good word!"

Yu Shu exclaimed.

The literati who were originally admiring the couplet all turned around curiously and looked over when they heard Yu Shu's exclamation.

Yu Shu's voice is quite special, like a lark.

What’s more, most of the people watching were men.

Hearing a woman's voice, everyone was naturally curious.

Seeing that Yu Shu was a beautiful and charming woman, some people couldn't help but start showing off.

"Girl, this couplet is not easy to write well!"

"Look carefully at the writing. Don't you have any other feelings?"

A man dressed as a scholar asked Yu Shu with a smile.

"Ok?"

Yu Shu was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and then looked at the couplet hanging at the door again.

After staring at the couplet for a while, Yu Shu shook her head gently.

"Um……"

"I'm sorry, I'm just too stupid. I just think the words in this couplet are very beautiful."

“I can’t see what’s different.”

Upon hearing this, the scholar patted his left hand with the folding fan in his right hand and said:
"At first glance, this couplet is indeed stunning in calligraphy."

“But if you look closely, it’s like you’ve entered another world.”

"In that world, you are just a spectator, watching your own life."

“After you finish watching it, when you come back to your senses and carefully recall the scenes you saw before, you will have a different understanding.”

Yu Shu: “???”

Yu Shu was completely confused.

Is it that magical?
Why can’t I see it when I look at it myself?

Yu Shu asked Ye Jiangnan in a low voice:

"Sir, when you look at that couplet, do you feel the same way?"

Ye Jiangnan whispered:

"No."

Yu Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Fortunately, the young master does not have such feelings.

Then it’s not your problem.
