Near noon, a carriage with about ten followers drove slowly towards Yanxing Gate of Chang'an City.
Along the way, Qin Ming could personally experience the "happiness" of driving a carriage.
The Qin family's carriage has no shock absorbers and the wheels are made of wood.
Moreover, the road was bumpy and bumpy along the way.
Qin Ming also thought about whether to improve the carriage on the road, but now he has no shock absorbers or rubber on hand.
It's really impossible to operate. We can only do this for now and talk about it later when we have a chance.
At this time, Qingwan beside her pointed out the car window and said:
"Sir, you see we have arrived in Chang'an. In front of us is Yanxing Gate."
Qin Ming got off the carriage and looked at the tall city walls of Chang'an City that stretched for miles. He couldn't help but admire in his heart what a big and impressive city it is.
The city gate was full of caravans and civilians queuing up to enter.
Qin Ming estimated that the queue process would take half an hour. If this city had not been destroyed in the war years, it would definitely have been rated as one of the eight wonders of the world.
At this time Ada said excitedly:
"Sir, this is Chang'an City. This is my first time here. Where should we go first after entering the city?"
Qin Ming thought for a while, and judging from the current situation, it would be difficult to finish the shopping in one day. Then he said to Ada:
"We will go directly to the West Market after entering the city soon."
"Good son"
There are two main reasons why Qin Ming chose to go to the West Market instead of the East Market.
First, the Western Market gathered many merchants from the Western Regions, and he planned to go there to see if he could buy some special crop seeds.
Second, compared to the East Market, the prices of commodities in the West Market are lower.
After all, Pingkangfang, Chongrenfang and Yongxingfang around Dongshi are all gathering places for aristocratic families and dignitaries in Chang'an City. So the East Market is somewhat similar to the high-end shopping malls of later generations.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Qin Ming and his party entered Chang'an City.
Looking at the neat streets and the walls between the streets and markets, Qin Ming couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the ancients.
After entering the city from Yanxing Gate, Qin Ming and the others asked for directions while walking. They also found a restaurant on the way and had a meal of authentic Chang'an mutton soup.
About an hour later, Qin Ming and the others finally arrived at the Fangmen of Chang'an West City and walked behind the Fangmen.
You can see many people from the Western Regions who are dressed differently from people in the Tang Dynasty, which makes Qin Ming feel like he is abroad.
After settling in an inn in the West Market, Qin Ming took everyone to visit the West Market.
Considering that a group of people walking together is too inefficient.
So after leaving the inn, Qin Ming gave Ada ten guan of money and asked him to take the people to buy wine, and told him that if there was wine lees, it would be fine to buy wine lees.
After all, distiller's grains are cheaper. If the car you bring cannot fit it, you can pay the store freight and have the store deliver it to Qinjiazhuang.
Qin Ming took Wan'er and the remaining few people to visit various stalls in the West Market, buying some high-quality seeds while shopping.
Things went smoother than Qin Ming expected. They successively bought seeds of cucumbers, cabbages, carrots, spinach, eggplants, coriander, black pepper and other vegetables or spices from people from the Western Regions, Southeast Asians, and Indians.
And luckily Qin Ming bought watermelon and grape seeds from a Hu merchant.
It's a pity that Qin Ming changed the West Market and failed to find corn, peanuts, potatoes and other crops. But think about it, these crops are all grown on the American continent.
Now Columbus was not born yet. It's also impossible for anyone to find these crops.
Seeing the sky getting dark, Qin Ming led everyone back to the inn. When I walked into the inn lobby, I saw Ada already waiting in the lobby.
When Ada saw Qin Ming and his entourage returning, he immediately stood up and said, "Sir, we have followed your instructions and bought a hundred jars of Jiannan Shaochun, a hundred jars of Sanlejiang and a hundred jars of wine from the Western Regions.
We spent the remaining money to buy Chang'an rice wine lees and signed a contract with them. They will arrange for someone to deliver it to our village tomorrow. "
When Qin Ming heard this, he said happily: "Okay, everyone has worked hard. Let's have a good meal tonight. When we go back to the accountant tomorrow, we will reward each person with 100 Wen."
Ah Da and the others have recently been spoiled by the family's cook, and they are not very interested in eating. Instead, they jumped up and down with joy when they heard that the young master was rewarded.
After dinner, Qin Ming took a beautiful bath under Qingwan's service. When he was getting ready to go to bed, he found Qingwan still in her room and said:
"Qingwan, why are you still here? Why don't you go back to the house to sleep?"
After Xiao Qingwan had dinner, she stayed in her room for a while and then came over to help Qin Ming take a bath.
The main reason why I didn't go back to my room was because I was afraid. After all, she had never stayed outside since she entered the Qin family. She was suddenly in this strange environment, and she was very uncomfortable with it.
I was alone in the room just now, and I always felt like someone was staring at me.
When I heard the young master's question, I was afraid that the young master would misunderstand that I wanted to warm the bed, so I quickly answered:
"Sir, I'm a little scared to live here alone. Can I stay in the same room with you today? I can sleep on the floor."
Qin Ming could understand after hearing Qingwan's explanation. After all, Qingwan was still young and it was her first time in Chang'an. It's normal to be afraid.
However, he would not really let Qingwan sleep on the ground, so he said:
"Well, okay, then you should wash up and don't sleep on the floor. You can sleep with the young master tonight. This bed is very big anyway."
After hearing this, Qingwan said happily:
"Thank you, sir."
After a while.
Qin Ming felt like there was a soft body around him. He didn't say much, hugged Qingwan and prepared to let her sleep inside.
However, Qingwan, who was being carried to the bed by him, felt that her thigh seemed to have touched the dagger on it again.
Qin Ming also felt that he touched Qingwan's body. Maybe it's because this body is in its prime, or maybe it's because Qin Ming hasn't touched a woman for a long time, so he felt a little embarrassed for a while.
Qingwan had already experienced it once in the morning, so she had some experience.
And in the past, I often listened to Aunt Li, Aunt Wang and the others talking about boudoir matters in the kitchen. I also understand what’s going on.
She raised her head, looked at the young master and stammered in a low voice:
"Gong...gong...son, I heard from Granny Li and the others that at this time, it will be very uncomfortable if you don't consummate the marriage. If you feel uncomfortable, you will be killed, right?"
Qin Ming looked at Qing Wan in his arms. Although the girl's face was still green, her soft body and fair skin exposed outside her bellyband made the evil fire in her heart burst out.
He endured it again and again, but in the end he couldn't. Of course, he wouldn't really want this little girl.
I saw him whispering something in Qingwan's ear, and Qingwan's face suddenly turned red to her ears.
However, Qingwan, who only wanted to serve the young master, did not hesitate too much.
However, Qingwan didn't dare to look at Qin Ming, so she lowered her head and got into the quilt.
Qin Ming put his hand into the quilt.
After a long time, Qin Ming also let out a muffled groan.
A long while.
Qingwan got out of the quilt and said:
"Sir, did you do the right thing?"
Qin Ming hugged Qingwan, kissed the girl's forehead lightly and said:
"Well, Wan'er did a good job, I just wronged you."
Qingwan leaned her head on Qingming and said:
"I am not wronged. I can help the young master. Wan'er is very happy."
