Chapter 9 Purse
When the carriage drove past Xiao Xiao, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted by a well-defined hand, and the man sitting lazily inside, the owner of the hands, was looking at Xiao Xiao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were also several bewitching beauties in the carriage, all of them with extraordinary appearances, surrounding the man, laughing and scolding, and being coquettish and moving.
Now because of the man's action, they all looked at Xiao Xiao, who was still wrapped in thick clothes outside the car.
"Stop."
The carriage came to a slow stop. The man kept staring at Xiao Xiao, as if he wanted to see her through, but he didn't seem to be able to remove the clouds in front of her, and his face was a little puzzled. Xiao Xiao was a little surprised by his move, and looked at him lightly, stunned. After looking at each other like this, Xiao Xiao felt that it was a waste of time, so he turned sideways and slowly walked in the direction where the carriage came.
The man also lowered the curtain and asked a woman next to him in a low voice: "It looks familiar, did you teach it?"
The woman with a delicate peony on her forehead shook her head and reminded, "There is no mark on her forehead."
The man was stunned for a moment, patted his forehead and smiled: "It's me who is confused."
"It's very rare to see that you're confused," said another woman with a tattoo on her forehead, leaning her hand on his shoulder. ”
The man laughed: "Ji'er, don't make fun of me anymore."
After the man finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and looked at the woman who called Ji Er, "Has Brother Ling returned home?" ”
Ji Er nodded slightly, and couldn't help but glance at the man more, a little unable to hide the worry in his eyes, "Hmm......"
"He's unusual," the man tilted his head to the side, with obvious disdain on his face, "Cunning fellow, he must be terminally ill." ”
Ji Er didn't say anything. She knew the grievances between the man and her brother, and she didn't want to get involved, so as not to say something wrong and cause the man to resent it.
The man glanced at Ji Er, who was extremely docile without speaking at the moment, and snorted coldly in his heart.

Xiao Xiao went to the silk shop to change into luxurious clothes, and then went shopping with interest. Sachets, embroidered purses, hairpins, needles and threads and other small things were placed on the stalls one by one, Xiao Xiao looked at them one by one, and saw a peculiar embroidered purse. She was stunned for a long time.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao seemed to be moved, the stall owner hurriedly said, "The girl has a good eye!" This is a purse sewn by Jiu Niang herself, look at this workmanship! ”
"Jiu Niang?" Xiao Xiao picked up the purse and stared at the pattern on it for a long time, "I just came here not long ago, and I don't know how famous that Jiu Niang is, but this purse is indeed delicately embroidered." ”
"That girl doesn't know anything," the stall owner seemed to be proud, "Jiu Niang is the most skillful girl we have here, she was once one of the best royal embroiderers in the palace!" If I hadn't helped her once by chance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to ask for one of her in this life! ”
Xiao Xiao took out a piece of silver and handed it to the stall owner, and asked with a smile, "Was?"
The stall owner took it with a smile and replied in a low voice: "This person, no matter how powerful he is, there are times when he misses, I heard that two years ago, Jiu Niang sewed three purses at the emperor's order, but the emperor was somehow very dissatisfied, and removed Jiu Niang's post in a fit of anger, and also beheaded Jiu Niang's skillful hands, fortunately the queen protected and kept the guy who earned food."
"So that's the case," Xiao Xiao asked again, "The craftsmanship is so exquisite, I don't know where Jiu Niang lives now?" ”
The stall owner pointed to an alley: "At the end of that alley is Jiu Niang's home, but she doesn't meet customers easily, but she is afraid that she will blow away the girl's kindness to visit."
Xiao Xiao smiled, took out another ingot of silver and gave it to the stall owner, and then tied the purse in his hand to his waist and turned around and walked towards the alley.

Xiao Baozi stood at the stall selling kites, silently looking at Xiao Xiao's figure that looked even lighter after putting on spring clothes, and his face was abnormally tangled and ugly.
Another purse tied around Xiao Xiao's waist, on which the white flowers that were quietly opening in the green bushes stung his eyes.
Should I? Should I let her know? Still is......
Xiao Baozi clenched his fists, and the kite skeleton in his hand snapped and broke. The kite seller was about to shout for him to pay for it, but when he saw his murderous appearance, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"How much?"
The peddler was stunned by the murderous look in his eyes, and he didn't come back to his senses.
Xiao Baozi frowned and asked again, "I asked you how much is this?" ”
The peddler replied tremblingly, "One, one baht." ”
Xiao Baozi took out a small ingot of broken silver and gave it to the vendor, and the vendor immediately smiled, and said again and again: "Thank you, Master!" Thank you! ”
Xiao Baozi looked at the vendor silently, "...... Well...... Hurry up and find the money after thanks. ”
The peddler was dumbfounded: Dare to love this is not a reward for him?!
――――
The alleys are deep and zigzag, and the bluestone slabs and bricks are covered with moss, making the surroundings look old.
Xiao Xiao stood in front of the door and raised his hand several times to knock down, but he stopped.
She stared at the door for a long time, but finally sighed softly and turned to walk back.
"Miss Xiao?"
Xiao Xiao turned her head and looked at the silver-haired woman who opened the door to greet her in amazement.
