Chapter 33: Finding a Trace
Doudou didn't expect that one of his jokes would cause Cheng Xiaofei to explain everything. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The little fat brother is really honest in front of him, and he can't even tell a lie.
She glared at Fat Mai Sui'er: "What are you laughing at? An honest person like a little fat brother can be relied on, where is he like your master, he is a big liar!"
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Xiaofei was a little weak-hearted, and he also had something to hide from Yuan'er.
Not to mention, he didn't say a word about Miss Ma, not because he was covering up the surname Huo, but because he didn't want Yuan'er to be unhappy.
She's going to Sichuan in a month, and it's best not to leave with a stomach full of bad things.
As for the surname Huo, he Cheng Xiaofei is now a member of the White Tiger Battalion, and he will keep an eye on Yuan'er.
He packed up his new military uniform and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, I will gather here early in the morning in three days and go to the White Tiger Camp with the newly recruited soldiers. ”
Fat Mai Sui'er reminded: "Girl, the military camp only distributes outer clothes, and the inner clothes have to be prepared by yourself. ”
It's not that she likes to interject, when others join the army, the women of the family help to get some clothes, shoes and socks, but there is no such person around the fake king.
She and the girl together are not as good as half a woman from other people's homes, and they are completely powerless in such a thing.
Cheng Xiaofei hurriedly said: "No, I still have two ......"
He was embarrassed to say that the two undershirts were not only short, but also torn in some places.
Most of the boys are rough and rough, and although they are not short of money, they still learn to take good care of themselves.
Doudou said: "Let's go to the ready-to-wear store later and buy all the things we need." ”
It's really embarrassing to talk about this, who has ever seen a liner and went to a ready-to-wear store to buy it, but her level of needlework, let alone three days, even thirty days can't make a piece of clothing that can be put on the body.
The three of them got on their horses and turned back to Liangzhou City.
It turns out that there are more women in the world who can't do needlework than Doudou and Fat Mai Sui'er.
Although Liangzhou is located on the border, there are more than a dozen ready-to-wear stores of all sizes.
Each of them sells thick underwear, and you don't have to think about it to know that it is specially prepared for the soldiers in the barracks.
After all, the most important thing near Liangzhou is the army, and the barracks are full of men from Tiannan and Haibei, and the number of underwear prepared at home is limited after all, and sooner or later they always need to be replaced.
Doudou couldn't help but sigh that businessmen are thoughtful about things, and items like underwear are not as profitable as other ready-to-wear garments, but they can't prepare a huge amount, and they add up to a very considerable income.
The three of them entered the largest ready-to-wear store, and Doudou pulled Cheng Xiaofei to the side to choose underwear and shoes and socks.
Fat Mai Sui'er's attention was already attracted by the bright colors of the dress.
The shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear store was a woman in her early thirties, and she didn't care what her figure was, but when she saw that she was almost stunned, she came to introduce her to the latest styles of dresses.
How much money can I make from underwear, shoes and socks? Beautiful dresses are the big deal.
She has been in the ready-to-wear business for 20 years, how could she not see that the short winter melon boy in front of her is dressed as a little fat girl.
Although none of these dresses were worn by her, the shopkeeper's confidence could coax the little chubby girl's money out of her pocket.
She leaned over to Fat Mai Sui'er and said in a low voice: "Girl, these dresses are all materials from the south of the Yangtze River, and the master from the capital personally cut them, and only my family has them within a radius of 100 miles, why don't you take two pieces back?"
Fat Mai Sui'er raised her almost non-existent neck: "Which eye did you see that I was a girl?"
Carrying two pieces sounds like no money!
The shopkeeper didn't expect this dwarf winter melon to be a prickly head, so he had to purse his lips and say: "This lord, you look like the son of a big family, why don't you buy two pieces for the girl in your heart?"
This is really fickle, obviously I used to call myself a girl, but I immediately became the son of a big family!
Didn't you see her dressed in a small coarse cloth!
And, the girl in your heart, that's enough!
But...... Her last sentence also made sense.
The reason why she looked at these dresses was not because she liked them at all, but because she wanted the girl to buy a few.
The girl went out this time with all men's clothes, although it was also very good-looking, after all, it was too monotonous.
As the shopkeeper said, a woman is a person who pleases herself.
Although the heart of his own master has long grown in the girl, the girl can't ignore the image because of this.
After a few days, the master will take a break, and as soon as he enters the door, he will see a beautifully dressed girl, and he will be very happy.
The feeling of being valued by others, especially your sweetheart, must be beautiful when you think about it.
Anyway, the purse on her waist has long been stuffed with silver tickets for books and ink, and if she doesn't spend it, will it be moldy?
With a wave of Fat Mai Sui'er's fat hand, the four most beautiful and expensive dresses were immediately returned to Doudou, and the shopkeeper was very good at doing business, and he also gave a few pairs of beautiful embroidered shoes.
The three of them bought all the items they needed, went to buy some ingredients, and then happily returned to the house.
What they didn't expect was that they would just be targeted again after wandering around the street for so long.

General Huaiyuan's Mansion.
"Miss, this time the slave saw it with her own eyes, and it was definitely bean paste. Yi Qiao bowed and replied.
Ma Mingyu was embroidering in front of the window, and he was stunned when he heard the movements of his hands.
She said coldly: "Isn't it sesame, why did it turn into bean paste again?"
Yi Qiao's body shook: "The slave maid really saw that it was a very slender and very iconic young man holding bean paste, he and the other two teenagers walked around the street for a long time, bought a lot of things in the Li Kee ready-to-wear shop, and then went to the market to buy some ingredients. ”
Ma Mingyu already trusted her, and when she heard her say it in such detail, where would there be half a point of suspicion.
She put the embroidery needle on the embroidery, raised her eyes and said, "And then, aren't they out of the city?"
Yiqiao hurriedly said: "No, the slave maid let people follow secretly, and they went back to a house in the west of the city, but they ...... There seemed to be a lot of people guarding the house, and our people didn't dare to keep an eye on it for fear of revealing their horses' feet. ”
Ma Mingyu learned to be obedient this time, and did not get dizzy when he heard the word "bean paste", but carefully pondered Yiqiao's words.
The figure is very slender, and the appearance is very symbolic, is it a teenager, or is it ...... Girlish?
"Is that person male or female, how old is he, and how is his bearing?" Ma Mingyu looked at Yi Qiao and said all the doubts in his heart.
Yi Qiao choked, but immediately came back to his senses and said: "That person is slender and tall, but from the face is still immature, he is only eleven or twelve years old, although he is wearing an ordinary green shirt, but his temperament is very noble and elegant, as for whether he is a man or a woman......"
The figures of adult men and women are easy to distinguish, and not to mention, women are much more slender than men based on their bones alone.
But eleven or twelve-year-old people, both men and women, have not grown at all, but all thin people are like bamboo poles, who can tell the difference?
Ma Mingyu was not embarrassed, and ordered: "In this case, let people continue to stare at that person's every move, but they must be cautious and not be found by others." ”
"Yes, Miss. (To be continued.) )
