34. Chapter 34 Make a Clay Figure, You and Me
(11) Make a clay figurine of you and me
Ji Ling still traveled with Tang Wan'er and the others because the road to Yanzhou Jiangling was in the same direction. Of course, when they parted ways, Ji Ling had no possibility of continuing to accompany them.
These days, Ji Ling prepared his expenses through performing arts, and was barely able to go on the road. Qi Ying didn't care, he took care of the food, drinks, and accommodation, and he had plenty of money anyway.
Ji Ling felt ashamed, but Qi Ying's kindness was hard to resist, and he couldn't do it either.
"Good day, Miss Wan'er, how did you sleep last night?"
"Well, I slept soundly. Where is Mr. Ji?"
"Thanks to Miss Wan'er, I slept quite peacefully. The young master is probably already waiting below. Miss, please."
"Um."
Tang Wan'er may not dare to look up at him again. The saying that a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle is indeed true.
Although Ji Ling was still dressed in coarse linen, he was very clean.
Although his appearance is not as good as Qi Ying's, he looks like he has stepped out of a painting, but he has a mature charm, the type that becomes more interesting the more you look at him.
"What's wrong?" Ji Ling turned around and asked in confusion.
"Ah, no...it's okay."
On the day we arrived in Yan County, Lezhou Prefecture, there seemed to be a market. The city was bustling with activity. Of course, Tang Wan'er would not miss the opportunity to join in the fun. She wandered around and almost got separated from Qi Ying and Ji Ling.
Ji Ling introduced the clay figurines, a specialty of Yan County, and there happened to be stalls making clay figurines in the market.
Tang Wan'er shouted to go take a look, Qi Ying shook her head, and the men had no choice but to let her go.
"Wow, it's really great! It has everything! Look, this zebra really looks like it, and that one is a panda! It's so cute..."
The hawker saw the right moment and encouraged Tang Wan'er to buy it. Tang Wan'er looked left and right, wondering which one to buy.
"If you like it, buy them all."
"Okay, the girl has chosen a small one and will wrap it up for you."
Qi Ying saw the expectation on Tang Wan'er's face and said something casually. Sure enough, Tang Wan'er smiled happily, picked the clay figurine she liked, and was very happy.
"That old man, can you make the clay figurine I want on the spot?"
"Of course, what pattern does the girl want?"
"Well, can you mold the two of them?"
"this……"
"Isn't it possible? Oh, by the way, this kind of clay is as taboo as a doll. If not, forget it."
"It can be done, but the price is..."
"The price is easy to negotiate. Since Miss Wan'er is interested, I will do as she says."
Since the price is not an issue, the vendors will not have trouble with the money.
Tang Wan'er took the clay figures from Qi Ying and Ji Ling and made her own clay figures for them respectively. Qi Ying and Ji Ling also accepted them generously.
Then they walked around again and saw some people rushing to the same place.
"What are they doing in such a hurry? Is there some kind of performance?"
"I'll go ask. Miss Tang will wait a moment."
Seeing Tang Wan'er's eagerness to know the truth, Ji Ling stepped forward without hesitation and arrested someone for questioning.
"Brother, are you from out of town?"
Ji Ling nodded.
"No wonder you don't know. Today, a young lady from He Yuan's wife's family in Yan County is throwing embroidery balls to attract a bride. No, all the old and young in the city have come to watch the fun. This hero can make the young..."
"Let's go." Ji Ling withdrew his hand, and the boy ran away in a flash. He told Tang Wan'er and the others what happened.
"Are you in such a hurry? Could it be that the lady outside the Yuan Dynasty is very beautiful?"
"No matter how beautiful she is, she can't be as beautiful as Miss Wan'er."
"Master Qi, you...you really know how to make fun of me."
"I'm telling the truth."
"But it must be fun to throw hydrangeas to attract brides. Let's join in the fun. Let's go."
