Chapter 79
In the hot afternoon, the fire is burning.

Due to a detour, the group changed the route from west to east and went to several counties in the north of Yuzhou.

After traveling to Geyang County, it was time for lunch, and everyone went to the city to eat.

After dinner, Xie Zhan took Fu Xuan into the bustling market to digest food.

Yuzhou is a border state, bordering Dazhou in the north, and Geyang County is located in the northern border of Yuzhou, which means that Geyang County is very close to Dazhou.

Surprisingly, although it is a small frontier county, Geyang County looks very rich.

The streets are wide, and there are many high-rise buildings on both sides of the road. There are restaurants, restaurants, pharmacies, pastry shops, and clothing shops.

The street was crowded with people, not to mention the hustle and bustle, most of the people coming and going were Fat Ma Jinyi.

Unlike a small frontier county, it is more like a state city.

Fuxuan is not a girl who stays at home.

Previously in Jingzhou, the Fu family was the most used to her. When the boys in the family went north and south, as long as she wanted to follow, she could become their little tail.

Therefore, seeing the current situation, Fu Xuan was not surprised.

She was doubtful, and she was not someone who likes to take things to heart, so she moved closer to the person beside her, raised her face and said in a low voice: "Don't you think it's unreasonable for such a small county to be so rich?"

Xie Zhan was startled by the sudden soft words and the slight movement of her leaning over, and paused in the hand rubbing the jade ornament on his waist.

He said "Oh?", leaned over to her side, taking into account her stature, and asked, "How can you see that?"

How could he fail to see the abnormality.

The Xie family's property spread all over Daliang. He has visited countless counties and counties, and there are really few counties on the border that are still so prosperous.

And those who followed them, since they entered the city, followed the ground even more closely.

Hearing Xie Zhan's question, Fu Xuan covered her lips with a fan, and replied in a low voice that could only be heard by two people: "Uncle once said that the chaos in Daliang is at the border. There is Dazhou in the north of Daliang, and Nanyue Kingdom in the west. In the place where the two countries border, due to the war and the influx of refugees, people often wear ropes and clothes. I think that people are unwilling to live in these places because of unpredictable dangers. Those who live in a peaceful place prefer a peaceful place.”

The little girl analyzed clearly and logically. On top of her delicate face, her beautiful eyes shone with the light of intelligence and wisdom, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.

Xie Zhan hummed, and smiled softly at her, "Continue."

He rarely smiled genuinely.

If he hadn't found out that the girl next to him was not short of knowledge, much better than he imagined, and her identity as Liu Lang was concealed, Xie Zhan would not have shown his emotions like this.

In the past, in front of others, the cold Xie Zhan's light smiles were more like sneers.

Therefore, when the four eyes met, Xie Zhan curled the corners of his lips, and his brows and eyes were full of affectionate and charming smiles, which made Fu Xuan stunned.

Such an affectionate Xie Zhan is like a bottomless abyss, like a cliff on the side of a mountain. If a girl is lured to take a step forward, she will be smashed to pieces for him.

Immediately, she realized that he is just the affectionate and gentle Liu Liulang now.

It's all a disguise.

So, Fu Xuan stopped the thoughts that flew out, and continued to talk about what she wanted to say.

She said: "I have been to the fiefdom of Brother Duan Wang, it is very different from this place, it is also on the border of Daliang, but there are few people, business is sluggish, and there is even a shortage of food."

Xie Zhan stopped, his face turned cold.

Brother Duan Wang?

In the past when she called those members of the Fu family her elder brothers, he still felt that there was nothing wrong with him, but now, a king who is neither relative nor relative has become her "brother".

Recalling the silent confrontation between Chen Tian and him outside the Hall of Qinzheng, Xie Zhan's brows and eyes softened, and he returned to his usual aloof look before he knew it.

Seeing that Xie Zhan's face changed suddenly after hearing what she said, Fu Xuan didn't understand, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xie Zhan had anger in his eyes and fire in his heart.

Fu Xuan frowned, "Liulang?"

Called by her, Xie Zhan came back to his senses, pretended to be Zhou Yue, raised his brows and lips, and once again brought a slight smile on his handsome face.

Seeing that he recovered, Fuxuan urged him to move quickly.

The two stopped in front of a small three-story building at the moment. Xie Zhan didn't move. He looked up at the black lacquered gold plaque and said, "Put some jewelry for Xuanxuan, huh?"

Fuxuan couldn't hear the "um" with such a rising ending, and it made people's scalp numb when they heard it.

She held the handle of the fan tightly in her hand, shook her head and declined politely: "No need, Liu Lang kindly accepts it. I have enough jewelry at home, and I can use it again later."

She was wearing a moon-white gauze, with a white orchid hosta on her head, without any other decorations.Although she is a bit more pure, but because of her beautiful face, bright eyes and white teeth, and vermilion lips, she doesn't feel dull at all.

The number one beauty in Jiankang City, even if she doesn't have a lot of makeup, her appearance is still captivating.

Naturally, Fuxuan refused his kindness, not because she was confident in her beauty, but because she didn't want to wear gold and silver during her uncle's filial piety just because she pretended to be his concubine.

Xie Zhan thought for a while, then whispered into her ear: "Don't you want to know what's wrong here? How can you find out if you don't go in?"

Fu Xuan suddenly realized.

That's right, in order to prevent too much rich material from flowing out of Daliang, the imperial court will restrict the business in the borderlands.

For example, first-class jade, fine cloth, and important medicinal materials are different in terms of taxes, which will be much higher. In this way, merchants in business will not sell too high-end items in these places.

This "Yuanjia building" looks like the best gold and silver building in the whole street at first glance. You must take a look and you will know if there is any difference.

"Let's go." Xie Zhan urged with a smile.

Fu Xuan then nodded and followed into the door.

**
As soon as they stepped into the threshold of Yuanjia Building, someone warmly greeted them at the other end. Seeing that both of them were well dressed, the shopkeeper directly led them to the third floor.

Once inside the house, the shopkeeper brought out several lacquer plates covered with flannelette, and spread them out in front of the two of them one by one.

He opened his mouth and introduced to Fuxuan: "To tell you the truth, Madam, the jewelry and jewelry downstairs are ordinary goods, I guess they can't catch Madam's eyes, the ones on the third floor are all top-notch goods. Look, the earrings here It is inlaid with South Pearl from the East China Sea; the necklace is a craftsmanship of Shuzhou; the silver hairpin inlaid with gilded silk and jade patterns is a craftsmanship of the Western Regions..."

Twice "Ma'am" came into her ears, and Fu Xuan's heart thumped and thumped, and she couldn't even hear what the shopkeeper was talking about.

It's no wonder the shopkeeper called Fuxuan "Ma'am", in order to pretend to be like that, Linglong specially made her a woman's hair in a bun this morning.

Furthermore, the gentleman in front of him kept his eyes on the girl's half-covered face.

In the shopkeeper's eyes, such a pair of affectionate couple, isn't it just a couple.

As far as Fuxuan is concerned, it is fine for her to pretend to be a concubine, but she is just a servant.But pretending to be "Madam" is very particular, and it is very wrong.

What's especially inappropriate is that the man next to her is still the man who retired to her.

These two voices, madam, seem to have exposed the scar of retiring once again.

Xie Zhan didn't take a fancy to her, and Xie's family disagreed with each other and planned to divorce her and remarry. The bad memories flooded back, and the mood that Xie Zhan didn't even have left this morning was completely wiped out.

Beside her, Xie Zhan noticed a slight change in her face, and guessed something in his heart.

He walked closer to her, put his hand on her slender waist, and said to the shopkeeper, "Get some that you can see."

 Note 1: Rope-pivot urn: rope pivot: use a rope to tie the door instead of a rotating shaft, urn: break the urn and use it as a window.Describe the housing conditions are very simple.
