Chapter 84: Traveling to Ancient Egypt (2)
Next to her, an old woman selling vegetables kindly reminded.
After hearing this, Xu Yixi nodded at the woman.
The woman's voice woke up the old man selling the goods. Seeing that someone was coming, the old man immediately stood up, looked at Xu Yixi in a decent manner, and suddenly smiled.
"Eh, this little brother, I seem to know you?" he suddenly pointed to Xu Yixi's face and said.
"Old man, sleep and sleep, how can you know my son-in-law!"
Zhaocai replied for Xu Yixi with some disgust, but Xu Yixi signaled with his eyes to step aside, and no longer dared to talk more.
"Uncle, maybe you made a mistake. Xu Yixi smiled and said kindly. Weighing the conch in his hand a few times, he lowered his eyes to look at the pebbles and shells on the humble stall, and said again, "Uncle, do you sell all of these?"
After hearing Xu Yixi's words, the woman selling vegetables on the side suddenly cast a strange look. When Zhao Cai heard this, he was so shocked that he opened his mouth and looked at Xu Yixi non-stop, thinking that his son-in-law had a problem with his head. Xiao Ping stood behind Xu Yixi, except for a little surprise, there was nothing too big about it.
"What? oh, sell... Isn't that what I'm selling here?"
The old man was in a trance, and shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Then I want all of these, old man, wrap them up for me!"
Xu Yixi said and put some silver taels on the pavement.
In this situation, not only the woman who sells vegetables and recruits talents, but even Xiaoping couldn't help but whisper "Ah?" and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Okay, okay! I'll pack, I'll pack!"
As if he understood what Xu Yixi said, the old man looked around for something that could wrap these objects for a while. The woman selling vegetables on the side took the initiative to take out a boxy piece of cloth, which she used to wrap a new pair of shoes, and she had saved up a long time to buy shoes for her husband, and the shopkeeper wrapped her in cloth very angrily.
"Thank you for this little brother, hehe......"
When he packed all the things in the stall with the square pieces of cloth handed by the vegetable seller, and handed them to Xu Yixi tremblingly, the old man smiled at him like a stupid "hehe".
"Childe, you really buy these useless things, this ......"
Zhaocai couldn't help but look at the small screen next to him, and said to Xu Yixi in astonishment.
Xu Yixi held the things in his hand in his arms, and walked forward, while skimming towards Zhaocai, "Who said these things are useless?"
Of course it works, otherwise what would you do if you bought it!These things can be put into the chiseling pond to add to the monotonous fish pond...
Thinking like this, his steps couldn't help but become brisk, but he didn't listen much to the words of recruitment. As he walked, he stopped in front of a stall selling beaded hairpins.
"Childe, but do you want to buy a bead flower to give to your beloved girl? This bead flower is very beautiful, Childe, please take a look!"
At the stall, a middle-aged woman asked Xu Yixi who was stopping, and picked out a crape myrtle hairpin from the many beaded hairpins and handed it to Xu Yixi.
Crape myrtle! That's his favorite flower species, according to the folk meaning, there is also a flower language in this word, meaning good luck, addicted love!
Maybe the woman who sold the bead flower saw Xu Yixi staring at the bead flower at a glance and picked it up, or maybe it just happened that the woman also liked the bead flower with crape myrtle flowers, so she picked it up, but no matter what the situation was, Xu Yixi liked it seriously.
"Whoever said I gave it to a girl, can't it be for my mother!"
Xu Yixi's face changed suddenly, and he took the beaded hairpin from the woman's hand, and without asking the price, he directly dropped a few taels of silver and strode forward. His actions made the woman stunned, and suddenly felt inexplicable, the beautiful crape myrtle hairpin is a hot commodity at the moment, but it is only for young girls to wear, how can they buy it for their mother.
How did the woman know that Xu Yixi originally wanted to give the beaded hairpin to Xiaoping, but Zhaocai and Xiaoping had already caught up, how could he be embarrassed to give it away in front of everyone, in case he was recruited and laughed, in case Xiaoping didn't accept it.
In the end, after saying that, he was very annoyed! Xiaoping was so close, he naturally listened to it, and he had to carefully put away this crape myrtle hairpin, and it became something that could not be given away.
Looking up at the sky, as if it was still early, Xu Yixi, who wanted to go back to Xu's house, looked at the money bag on his waist and went straight to the teahouse-Fulai Teahouse.
In this teahouse, Xu Yixi came to this teahouse once last time when he went to the appointment of those literati and scholars, and this is the second time he has come. Maybe it's because Xu Yixi is very generous, because he paid for everyone's tea last time, so the shopkeeper here is very familiar with him, and he can remember who he is after a long time.
Chartered a private room on the second floor with a view of the scenery, and the three of them chatted freely for a while, regardless of master and servant, of course, the small screen still seemed a little restrained.
After that, they walked back to the house together.
The crape myrtle hairpin was sealed into a wooden box by Xu Yixi, and the pebbles, shells, conches, and other things bought from the old man were put into the chiseling pond.
In the afterglow of the sun, those shells and conches actually reflected a dazzling light, golden and dazzling.
Looking up at the sky, it was almost dusk, and around the sun, there was a circle of blood-red clouds. How can the clouds be blood-red? This is so strange!
Xu Yixi hurriedly wiped his eyes, and when he looked again, the blood-red clouds around him had disappeared.
What a strange thing! Could it be that I was dazzled?
Thinking like this, he didn't take this matter too seriously, and while throwing food into the chiseling pond by himself, he was thinking about the days when he tried to get out of the house and go on the road to catch the exam.
"Sister, I really like these shells, conches and pebbles, these are all given by this stupid human!"
Li Xi was very happy, and kept chattering to her sister, but after talking too much, Shui Jing, who was originally serious and concentrated, was going to count her down.
"Li Xi, don't mess around. It's not uncommon for human beings to like us, just like the human emperor doesn't like our grandma! Now that those two black cats have been caught by them, we should study without distractions!"
When two or three servants passed by in the back garden, it was obvious that Shui Jing saw the two wild black cats they were carrying in their hands, which were the same two black cats that had scratched Li Xi last time.
"Okay!"
When Shui Xun said this, Li Xi couldn't help but nun her mouth, and then she began to stop her noisy temperament.
……
"Childe, the two black cats that I didn't catch last time were... He died outside your house!"
