Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 534 534. Add new friends?
King Pan from all over the country came to the capital, and the situation in the capital became increasingly strange.

Nobles often appear on the bustling main street, the city gate is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and strangers with evil spirits pass by every now and then in the potato-growing villages in the suburbs.

When Cheng Xi's self-made "Free Clinic Notes" filled up a thick book, the seven miles and eight villages on the outskirts of Beijing had all been transferred. In view of the increasing number of emergencies encountered when returning to the city, one old and one young were No more going out of town.

Cheng Xi asked Fu Guang to buy some medicinal seeds. Mr. Xu taught Cheng Xi the acupuncture technique while activating the plants to practice their powers. He did not miss any of the teaching lessons.

In addition to daily study and training, Shen Xingqi went out to reunite with her friends, check the accounts of Qingyi Pavilion and chat about the gossip of the capital.

Although Cheng Xi stayed at home, his ears were not idle, and he often heard news from her.

"Pan kings from all over the country have come to Beijing, and five of them came this year."

"The Qin Family Fruit Wine Shop is making a lot of money every day, and there is an endless stream of customers queuing up. Some people even queue up before dawn."

"The eldest prince gave birth to a daughter and died of a hemorrhage that night. The eldest prince was so distraught that he fainted on the spot."

"It is said that the third prince fell in love with Miss Song at first sight and wanted to hire her as a concubine."

"The eldest prince is getting married to the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Chu, and he is also going to marry his sister-in-law!"

Cheng Xi: "."

She seemed to have heard some great news.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"Then I have to talk about it carefully."

Shen Xingqi had an expression on her face that said, "You didn't expect that, right?" as she recounted the news she heard from her friends.

The eldest prince's health was not good, and she almost died two times on the day of delivery. In the end, the Duke of Chu's palace sent precious medicinal materials to save the pregnancy. Because of her gratitude, she made a will on the spot, asking the eldest prince to marry the Duke of Chu's direct son. The young lady is the step-concubine.

The eldest princess's natal family was very sad when they heard the news. They wanted to marry their concubine into the eldest prince's palace on the grounds that the princess was still young and needed someone to take care of her. The eldest prince was grateful for his deceased wife and had no choice but to agree and planned to hire her as a concubine.

Cheng Xi: .6
As for who can play the tricks of my relatives, it has to be you ancients.

I am willing to bow to the disadvantage, I am willing to bow to the disadvantage.

"The eldest prince is very calculating."

"Yes, there are rumors on the street that the eldest prince and his late wife were deeply in love, and some people praised the eldest prince's concubine as a model of a good wife."

As for what exactly happened, the common people may not know, but the rich and aristocratic families have a clear idea.

Shen Xingqi lamented, "If one of the loving couples unfortunately dies, the other will choose to mourn. There have been rumors in the capital that the couple was very loving. Now that my beloved wife has passed away, I thought no matter what, I have to stay in mourning for a year and a half. It’s impossible to imagine.”

People have backup plans.

Not only was he able to marry two beautiful ladies quickly, but he also gained a good reputation.

"It is the little princess who will suffer the consequences. If the little emperor's grandson is born, he will have to live in fear every day in the future."

The Duke of Chu's palace will not allow such a threat to exist and will definitely find a way to remove it. The eldest prince's family will also try their best to ensure that the child's life will not be peaceful when the two forces pull him away.

"It's not much better now."

Cheng Xi laughed, "When the eldest prince marries these two beauties, the house will be a lot more lively."

Especially at night.

Shen Xingqi obviously didn't think about it that deeply. She just listened to it and then turned to talk about other things.

"The capital is becoming more and more lively, and even the business of Qingyi Pavilion has improved a lot. We have already started to develop the next product."

"Oh? What are you planning to do next?"

"No makeup cream!"

"." Such a modern word.

Cheng Xi was silent, it would be good if there was a shortcut in secret. Even in modern times, makeup cream is a new product. Before that, there were various concealers and other products.

I never expected that in a different world, I would get there in one step.

"Develop it well. I am waiting for your results."

Shen Xingqi clenched her fist confidently, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

The little girl seemed to be interested in R&D and business. She had previously threatened to apply the knowledge she had learned to reality and wanted to open shops in every state in the Yan Dynasty. She was more active than a time traveler like her.

Did she embarrass the time-travelers?

"Xing Luo, what delicious food did you bring today?"

Qin Zheng sat down and grabbed it with both hands, "Hurry up and take out the lunch box, I want to eat the oily salted duck eggs!"

Shen Xingluo turned slightly to avoid his hand, and resigned himself to sharing half of his food with him.

"The Hanlin Academy is not far from the Qin Mansion, and I have given you all the dishes. Is it possible that the Mansion still lacks cooks?"

"Oh, it's not like the chef can't make the taste of your wife!"

Of course there are cooks in Qin's house. Since getting Cheng Xi's recipe, the food has been greatly improved. Now the food in Qin's house is excellent.

However, there is still a big gap compared with the Shen family.

"I'm also confused. It's obviously the same recipe, but why are there such big differences?"

"." Of course the ingredients are different.

Shen Xingluo ate in silence, not wanting to deal with a shameless person who came to him all day long to have a meal.

The food in the small kitchen of Hanlin Academy meets the tastes of most people in Dayan. Officials will leave food here when they leave work at noon. Of course, there are also those who bring their own food. Shen Xingluo is not the first one.

However, there is still a big difference between rice and rice. Even if the meals prepared by the Shen family are low-key and try to avoid being fragrant, they still attract covetous people.

For example, Qin Zheng.

This is a master who never wrongs himself.

"Ah~ this is the smell, it's so fragrant."

He picked up a small piece of golden duck egg with wooden chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The client immediately squinted his eyes in enjoyment, and his whole body exuded the feeling of "delicious, delicious, delicious".

Yu Heting, who was also given a salted duck egg, shook his head in amusement, "Brother Qin's cook failed in his research on salted duck eggs again?"

"Isn't that right? It's obviously the same recipe, so why does it taste different if you change it to someone else?"

Qin Zheng ate another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with the snow-white steamed buns, "Is it possible that the one in your family is the reincarnation of the God of Cooking, and that his hands have magical powers?"

"Mrs. Shen truly deserves such praise."

Yu Heting agreed, thinking about what kind of gift he should prepare to visit the Shen family.

Lunch is always borrowed from Brother Shen, which is somewhat unjustifiable.

The three of them sat facing each other, eating lunch, and enjoying a moment of rest.

The officials who were having lunch at the next table also chatted in a low voice, but the content was not as simple as what to eat for lunch.

The visit of vassal kings from various places to the capital caused quite a stir, and each of them had their own style of doing things. In just one month, there had been quite a storm. In addition, several princes in the court were not people who could sit still, making the originally turbid water even more so. It’s lively.

Why are the eldest prince and King Qi so close? The third prince seems to be wooing King Heng, etc. The person who said it was astonished and looked as if he was surprised, and the other person who heard it also had such an expression.

Shen Xingluo's expression remained unchanged, as if what he just heard had never entered his mind. Qin Zheng curled his lips and snorted to express his dissatisfaction, and Yu Heting sighed secretly and shook his head slightly.

The three of them looked at each other and ate the food on the table in silence.

----

In mid-May, the capital was visibly bustling, and various stores ushered in a wave of shopping.

The Empress Dowager's birthday has come, and the Holy Emperor Longyan is overjoyed. There is a banquet in the palace, and princes from all over the country have given birthday gifts. The palace ministers are not willing to be outdone, and they bring their relatives into the palace to celebrate her birthday. Of course, this has nothing to do with the Shen family.

The editor of the Sixth Rank Imperial Academy was a minor official with a sesame status in the capital. Shen Zhuangyuan was able to rest on this day and stayed in the study after breakfast.

"Just ask Fuguang to deliver the birthday gifts to the etiquette department? Is it that simple?"

"Ordinary officials are just congratulating the Queen Mother on her birthday. How complicated can it be?"

"I just don't understand why it's the Ministry of Rites and not the Ministry of Husbandry."

Cheng Xi was curious, "Isn't the Ministry of Revenue in charge of the world's money? Everything in the treasury has to be filed separately. If the gifts are to be sent to the palace, why don't you go to the Ministry of Revenue?"

"No need."

Shen Xingluo taught her basic common sense, "Everything in the palace belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Since it is a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager, it naturally goes to the private treasury."

"Okay, I understand."

Cheng Xi thought of the three-hundred-year-old ginseng plant that she asked Fu Guang to take away. Well, this was already the tenth plant she had given away.

The Empress Dowager is already at the top of the Yan Dynasty. When giving gifts in the future, remember to give gifts that are less than three hundred years old.

(* ^ ▽ ^ *)
Shen Xingluo saw her little expression in his eyes, and the right hand holding the carving knife paused and started to move again.

"What are you carving this time? No more piglets!"

"It's not a surprise if you tell me."

"You really don't want to tell me?"

"Ah."

Tsk~ Is it possible that I still can’t see it?

Cheng Xi didn't believe in evil, so he pulled up his chair and moved over to take a closer look, staring hard at the jadeite stone as big as a copper plate.

Well, I really didn’t see anything.

It was just a rough outline, so vague that you had to guess whether it was a small animal or not.

A burst of fragrance floated into his nose. Shen Xingluo glanced sideways at the cheek that was getting closer and closer. His black eyes focused on carving flashed and put down the carving knife. The next second, he took the person into his arms.

He lowered his head and accurately grasped the bright red color, turning his lips and teeth for a long time.

"you"

The word "deception" was swallowed into his stomach without even being uttered, and Cheng Xi could only passively bear the sudden kiss.

The temperature in the study gradually increased, and her fair and tender face was dyed pink at some point, and the hands around her waist became tighter and tighter, burning.

Just when the owner of the slender hands couldn't control himself, a "ding ding ding" sound sounded in their minds at the same time, followed closely by the lively electronic sound of 666.

[Good news, good news, great news! 】

Two people: "."

Shen Xingluo took a deep breath and buried himself in the other person's neck to ease his breathing. For the first time, he felt the urge to untie himself from the system.

Cheng Xi felt the hot breath coming from her neck and dared not move, letting her red lips breathe.

【Uh hi? 】

666 seemed to feel something bad about the awkward environment around it, and had an inexplicable illusion that it was going to be hit.

"explain."

Just one word, Shen Xingluo's deep and unhappy voice seemed to contain murderous intent, making 666 tremble again in fright.

[What about that? Miss, don’t you want to add a few more friends, especially high-level ones? I’ll let you know as soon as there is news. 】

666 feels that he has been wronged.

Its host is very profitable. It is lucky to meet a host with such luck and strength. The main brain is envious of many subsystems.

Since a large amount of money was made every day, it automatically turned off the notification sound in order to create a better environment for the two great heroes. It never expected that they would be disliked if they did not contact them for such a long time.

嘤嘤嘤 Its host doesn’t love it anymore, woo woo, the little sister is too lazy to talk woo wow——o(╥﹏╥)o
666 consciously cried loudly, but Shen Xingluo didn't want to care about it at all. If it weren't for the news it brought that Cheng Xi had always wanted to hear, he would probably have cut off contact with it and locked it in a small dark room with a single move.

"When can low-level planes contact high-level planes?"

[Still unable to contact me, it’s just that the other party purchased the product from the online store, and because it was so delicious, I was eager to purchase it, so I sent a lot of applications to add friends. 】

It turned out to be the case.

Cheng Xi vaguely remembered that she did ask 666 to turn off the message alert, and the system would not contact them specifically unless there was an important matter.

"What plane is this time?"

[This is the world of immortality that the young lady has always wanted to contact. However, the level of this world of immortality is not high and it is a second-level plane. 】

"Are there different levels in the Immortal Cultivation Plane?"

[Of course, each plane will be divided into different levels according to the technology or the level of immortals and demons at that time. For example, the businessman contacted this time is actually the most basic existence among all the immortal cultivation planes. The immortal cultivators there have been there for thousands of years. No one has ever ascended before. 】

"I probably understand."

In fact, it is not difficult to understand.

Cheng Xi thought about the interstellar planes they had been to, and also thought about the various plane merchants they had encountered in the system's virtual market. They were all interstellar people, and the differences were still huge.

At least in the interstellar planes they have been to, they can still find mutants of Earth's plants, and humans are still in charge, and there are no slimes or pincer-armed creatures.

In her previous life, she had also read interstellar novels and movies about silicon-based creatures.

"So there really are immortals and gods in the immortal cultivation plane?"

[The low-level immortal cultivation plane is indeed focused on cultivation, and those with good qualifications can ascend to immortality. But the kind of plane that the lady mentioned, where gods and goddesses roam, already belongs to the plane of gods and demons. 】

Wow!

"Don't tell me that the planes of gods and demons are also divided into high and low levels?"

[The young lady is so smart! 】

"Isn't there some kind of Western Fantasy Plane, the one with magic wands, fairy castles, and elves?"

【Yes! 】

Cheng Xi: "."

Okay, another day of having my worldview forced upon me.

However, as an "ordinary" person with only supernatural powers and internal strength, Cheng Xi knew very well that he had to take one step at a time. If he took too big a step, he would easily get injured.

"The topic has gone too far. What did this businessman like in the store that made him eager to add friends?"

【It’s spicy strips! 】

Two people: "."

This answer is both surprising and expected.

Cheng Xi pushed Shen Xingluo, who put most of his weight on her neck, causing the other person to sigh.

"Hurry up, we need to see the news."

"Since it's the other party who wants something from someone, don't rush it."

As Shen Xingluo said this, the arm around her waist relaxed.
