Bao Qi learned the technique of Hua Xi to weave bamboo baskets together, although it was not as fast and good as Hua Xi, but he was able to master the skills quickly.

What's more, when he thought that these would be the money that would save his mother's life in the future, Bao Qi was even more energetic, and he accelerated his speed with a spirit of twelve points.

When they were about a child, Bao Qi and Hua Xi each carried a few bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets, carried a few dry foods, and rushed into the city at night in the dark.

Rushing in the middle of the night, it was the first time for Bao Qi, not to mention that it was still a strange place.

Hua Xi is very familiar, even if Bao Qi can't see the road clearly, Hua Xi can find it with memory.

"Sister Xi'er, did you go to the city like this at night?"

"In the past, it wasn't a night road, but I got up a little early, and it was just half of the morning when I arrived in the capital. This time it's a general emergency, in order to grab medicine for my mother earlier, go back ......"

Hua Xi and Bao Qihei rumbled, holding each other, saying this to relieve some fears,

"It would be better if there were horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, but unfortunately these are all owned by rich families, and I can't earn an ox-cart even if I sell bamboo baskets for a year......"

Bao Qi listened to Hua Xi's words, and didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he had to follow the other party's pace, try to find a way forward, strive to enter the city earlier, and give Hua Niang as much medicine as possible.

As the night changed from dark to light, the sky gradually changed from ink black to ink blue, and the glimmer of dawn made people see the outline of the high city not far away, until it became clearer, and the black veil in front of them seemed to be uncovered layer by layer.

The clouds in the east also began to shine a little morning light,

"See, that's the capital!" Hua Xichang took a breath and stretched out his hand to point not far away, with a faint expectation in his tone.

"It's finally here. Bao Qi couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at it, soaked in the glimmer of the morning light, although it is not clear, it can also see the outline of the city wall, tall and majestic, similar to what he imagined, Bao Qi grabbed the rope of the back basket, and his mood was also a little excited.

When he arrived in front of the city gate, the east was already white and red, and the unique luster of the early morning was spread, and Bao Qi looked up and saw two big characters, which were deeply engraved on the city gate:

Qidu.

"Qi Du ......" Bao Qi couldn't help but read out loud, and looked up for a long time.

Hua Xi knew that Bao Qi had been confined to the mountains since he was a child, and the first time he saw such a city, he said on the side,

"Yes, Qidu, the capital of Daqi, when my mother's illness is cured, I will bring you more. ”

Daqi ...... It turns out that this is the Great Qi and the Qi Kingdom.

Bao Qi turned his head to look at Hua Xi and smiled softly,

"Thanks, let's go into town. ”

As soon as Hua Xi entered the city, he was familiar with the road and found the boundary, put down the bamboo basket and began to set up a stall, and explained to Bao Qi from time to time.

"This street has the most small vendors, this area is basically our kind of small business, so the flow of people is also the largest, wait for breakfast, passing tourists, local city residents, will come here to go around, we come early, but also occupy a good position. ”

Bao Qi didn't expect Hua Xi's analysis to be quite insightful, but this lively place just made her familiar with the life here.

"So, will there be some strong things here, or charging or something?"

Security is very important, and Bao Qi quickly thought of the contemporary chengguan and the ancient ruffian hooligan protection fee and the like.

"You said the land fee?" Hua Xi listened to Bao Qi's question, and quietly lowered his voice,

"Of course there will be, some are local bullies, and there are also some powerful house slaves, don't look at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are always people who can't be provoked. I hope we will be smooth and profitable today and sell out sooner, but don't be targeted. ”

"Then you encountered...... Isn't it too dangerous?"

Hua Xi turned out the dry food in the cloth bag and gave half to Bao Qi and half to herself.

"I may be lucky, I met once, fortunately I ran fast that time, and I was eyeing someone else, and the next time I went out, I must say goodbye and burn a high incense." ”

Hua Xi said, glanced around, bit Bao Qi's ear and said,

"It is said that that one was killed, and the ...... from the village next door to us was killed."

Bao Qi ate dry food, and his heart was a little nervous.

At this moment, one after another, the small traders also came, set up their stalls one by one, and began to shout for their belongings.

In less than a morning, the bamboo baskets of Hua Xi's family are almost sold out, and there are still three of the twenty or so bamboo baskets.

Bao Qi is wearing Hua Xi's clothes today, a light gray straight-sleeved shirt, an ordinary peasant dress, his hair is combed into a bun at will, and his face is deliberately painted with charcoal gray to prevent accidents.

"Bao Qi, look at ...... over there"

Hua Xi suddenly pulled the corner of Bao Qi's clothes and quietly pointed not far away.

Bao Qi turned his head and saw the direction Hua Xi was pointing at a glance, and a few people came, mainly these people, which were really eye-catching.

Most of the others in this area are coarse cloth shirts, and occasionally there are slightly better ones, which are just common fabrics.

The few people who came not far away were dressed in silk robes, and the first two were particularly special, wearing plain robes with jade crowns and brocade clothes and jade wears.

There are also a few small servants behind, and two more are different from the previous ones, although they are not as conspicuous as the front, but they are also obviously different from ordinary people.

"See, these are all famous sons in the capital, and the one wearing a white robe at the front is Ling Gongzi, who is friends with the second son of Qi, and he is famous......"

Bao Qi raised her eyebrows and looked, the two in front, one was handsome and the other was handsome, she believed that Ling Gongzi that Hua Xi said must be the one who was handsome, because the other, how does Bao Qi look like a woman dressed as a man.

"The one next to him is a girl, isn't it?"

"Hmph, that, I don't know whose lady it is, put on men's clothes and come out to mix, really when everyone can't recognize it, it's still beautiful......"

Bao Qi didn't expect Hua Xi to have a lot of tongues, and he couldn't hide his voice, and then the corner of his clothes was slashed, and he listened to Hua Xi cover his mouth,

"They're coming."

Bao Qi raised his eyes, and sure enough, the group was walking in the direction of his side, Hua Xi had a light smile on his face, but a few people talked and laughed and walked straight to the stall next to him, all of which were some small objects knitted by weft.

Hua Xi immediately smiled, pouted and said,

"I'll do these things too, what's so new. ”

Bao Qi patted her hand,

"They are just fresh, where do you know your craftsmanship, we sell the bamboo baskets is the right thing. ”

As he was talking, a little guy didn't know what to say behind that Ling Gongzi, and waited until the other party nodded, and walked towards him with a little smile.

"Look, it's not coming. Bao Qi winked at the flowers.

"Two girls, how did you sell this bamboo basket?"

"Big Bawen, small Wuwen, how many do you want?"

Seeing this, the two introduced in greeting.
