Chapter Forty-Six: Judging People by Their Appearance

An ox cart passed by, and Yun Yao saw a string of copper coins full of strings on it.

"There are really people who take cars to pull money."

Yun Yao only felt novel, and pulled Qi Jing to point.

Using a big car to pull money out and go shopping, this is simply unimaginable for Yun Yao, people use credit points in the interstellar era, and they don't even have paper banknotes, let alone copper coins, credit points are deducted directly from personal information when buying things, where is there such a real knife to buy real things.

Qi Jing picked up the bag containing the money and walked forward with Yun Yao for a short distance: "The temple fair is about to pass, and there are more people who come to the town to buy things, you take a closer look, there are a lot of people with money strings." ”

Yun Yao observed more carefully and found that this was really the case, many people had pockets, like Qi Jing, half a bag or even a bag of money, and some people had money strings pinned to their waists, and even some children carried half a string of copper coins out to buy food.

"It's funny." The more Yun Yao looked at it, the more interesting she felt, she turned her head to look around, looking at the more and more pedestrians on the street, the various stalls selling them, and the merchants carrying their burdens between those alleys, she felt that it was so comfortable and fun to watch.

Qi Jing beckoned a car, took Yun Yao to sit on it, and smiled at the coachman: "Go to Yunshang Fang." ”

"Okay." The coachman grinned, smiled out of his big yellow teeth, and drove the ox cart forward with a wave of his whip.

After going around half the city before the car stopped in front of a shop, Qi Jing helped Yun Yao get out of the car, threw a few copper coins to the coachman, and then took Yun Yao into the shop.

Baishang Fang sells ready-to-wear clothes, when Qi Jing and Yun Yao went in, there were not many customers, and a few were hanging out, Qi Jing asked Yun Yao to look at it first, and then buy it after seeing what he liked.

Yun Yao looked around, but didn't look at anything.

The current emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom loves beauty, so that the people of the country also pay attention to color, so it is on it. The Great Zhou Dynasty from the officials to the common people all like bright clothes and jewelry, but Yun Yao doesn't like these red and green clothes.

In addition, Yun Yao has been walking around the village in the past few days, but she has seen a lot of good embroidery work. She is also picky about needlework, and in her opinion, the stitches of these clothes are not very good, and the embroiderer can only be said to be barely good, not as good as she does it herself. And why spend all that spare money to buy.

"Let's go back and do it ourselves." Yun Yao shook her head and said to Qi Jing.

Qi Jing looked at her, then at the clothes, pointed to one of the goose yellow shirts and the tender green skirt and said, "Bring these two." ”

He pointed to a few more sets of clothes, and asked the shopkeeper to pick them up one by one, and after wrapping these clothes, Qi Jing bought a few more horses, and a few sets of men's clothes, and paid for them, and more than half of the money in his pocket was gone.

With the rest of the money, Qi Jing and Yun Yao came out of Yunshang Fang. The two of them walked all the way, walked about 100 meters, turned left into an alley, and walked through two or three houses, Qi Jing stopped in front of a blue brick house, he took out a key from his purse and opened the door: "Let's go to rest first, I'll clean up the house, and we'll move in in a few days, and in a few days, I'm afraid that everyone will have to live in the town." It's better to prepare more things. ”

Only then did Yun Yao know that this mansion belonged to the Qi family.

Entering the door, Yun Yao looked at a tall shadow wall carved from blue bricks, and the shadow wall was carved with five blessings, three friends of the cold year, Yutang Fugui and so on.

Turning the shadow wall, it is a courtyard covered with bluestones. The two sides of the yard are planted with magnolias, begonias and peonies, and the meaning of Yutang is also rich, now these flowers are blooming, the elegant magnolia, the delicate begonia, and the peony of the national color and fragrance are very beautiful to decorate the yard.

Flowers and trees in the shade. The five spacious main rooms, as well as three small wings on each side, also add a bit of insight.

The two went up the platform along the bluestone path, stood under the corridor and saw a begonia probe coming, Qi Jing stretched out his hand and folded it slightly, the extremely colorful begonia flower fell off the branches, holding this begonia, Qi Jing smiled and gave Yun Yao a hairpin on the sideburns.

Yun Yao stretched out her hand to help: "This begonia is so beautiful, in the future, we will still grow more flowers at home, I thought, wearing these flowers is much better than Nalaoshzi gold and silver." ”

Qi Jing didn't say a word, stood with his hands in his hands for a while, and then carried Yun Yao into the house.

The main house is very open, only the hall house is three open rooms, it looks very broad, and the furnishings in it are almost exactly the same as the furnishings of the Qi family house in Qijiazhuang, but there are two more pots of spider plants in the house.

There are doors on both sides of the hall, a room on the east side is a bedroom, and a room on the west side is a study, Yun Yao entered the bedroom and sat down and beat her legs, Qi Jing frowned slightly: "You rest for a while, I'll take water to make tea for you, this house has not been inhabited for several days, and I still have to clean and clean." ”

Yun Yao wanted to help, but she was very tired now, so she agreed to Qi Jing's arrangement.

After a while, Qi Jing boiled water and brought it over to quench Yun Yao's thirst, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the backyard to carry water to sprinkle and sweep the courtyard, and took a rag to wipe the house clean.

It didn't take half an hour, the window in the main room was already cleaned, Qi Jing went out and got a few flower pots, he put the flower pots on the long table under the bedroom window, and turned back to Yun Yao and smiled.

Yun Yao looked at it strangely, pointed to the strange green or spherical or elongated things in the flower pot and asked, "What is this, I haven't seen it." ”

Qi Jing said with a smile: "A few days ago, I went out and met an exotic merchant and bought these flowers from him, it is said that this is called cactus, which is produced in the desert and is the most drought-tolerant and easy to feed." ”

"Cactus?"

Yun Yao touched the thorns on the elongated flower: "This one looks like a palm, it must be a cactus." ”

She pointed to the spherical flower again: "This ball is the same, where can it be called a cactus, I think it is almost the same as a cactus." ”

Qi Jing clapped his hands: "Isn't it called a cactus?" ”

Yun Yao's eyes immediately widened: "You coaxed me, why did you tell me to be right." ”

"My lady is so thoughtful that she can guess her name at a glance." Qi Jing praised Yun Yao for a while: "Don't you want to plant flowers, I think you haven't planted them before, and it's not good to take some delicate flowers for you to plant, so let's try to plant this first." ”

It turned out to be for her, Yun Yao was very happy when she heard it, and she was busy and agreed: "Okay, okay, I will definitely take care of it." ”

Now she looks at the cactus cactus ball as if she were looking at some kind of treasure.

Qi Jing shook his head speechlessly, and asked Yun Yao to play by himself first, and he took tools to the backyard to clean the room.

After another hour, Qi Jing cleaned the house and then took Yun Yao around.

The house is not big, there are two before and after, all of them are five main houses plus three wings on the left and right, although the Qi family lives in some of them, but it is enough to live, in addition to the houses before and after the two entrances, there is a long small garden on the west side.

Yun Yao liked this garden very much, and went in to play for a long time before reluctantly leaving.

At this time, it was not early, the two came out with the things they bought, Qi Jing locked the door, and only then did he want to call a car to take him and Yun Yao to the city gate, but he didn't want to hear a commotion before he called a car.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a middle-aged man shouting on the street at the end of the alley, and a group of people surrounded the two teenagers to accuse something.

Yun Yao looked at it strangely, so he pulled Qi Jing over, and after inquiring, he learned that the middle-aged man had lost money when he came out to buy something, and the two teenagers were closest to him, and the money in his hand was not much different from what he lost, so the middle-aged man suspected that one of the two teenagers had stolen his money.

The middle-aged man is a native of Lotus Town, and his ancestors have lived here for generations, and he is very familiar with the street, and even the vendors who set up stalls can chat with him, so whether it is a passer-by or the shopkeeper in the shop, or a small merchant and hawker came to help stop the two teenagers to seek justice for him.

"Where is your home? Who can testify that the money is your own? ”

The middle-aged man's face was full of anger, and he vented at the two teenagers as soon as he opened his mouth.

A hawker has a good relationship with a middle-aged man, and he also helped Zhan Yi and said: "Yes, call your family to come, let's also ask, if you steal the money, I'm sorry, stay in the yamen." ”

The faces of the two young men were not good, one of them was dressed in muslin clothes, his long figure was slender, his eyebrows were delicate, his eyes were a little flickering, but when he saw the appearance of the other young man, he immediately became calm.

He straightened his clothes and sneered: "Do you still need to call someone to testify, you look at what the master is wearing, look at the appearance of the master, I still need to steal money, phew, it's really eye-catching." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the young man next to him: "Look at him, he is wearing patched clothes, and he looks so ugly, he must have stolen the money." ”

Everyone compared the two teenagers, and they were also drunk.

The other boy was indeed dressed in a green cloth patch, with a dark face, small eyes, a collapsed nose, and a thick mouth, which looked a little ugly.

The middle-aged man pondered carefully, stretched out his hand and grabbed the ugly boy: "Give me back the money." ”

The ugly boy almost cried, trembling: "This is my money, give my mother medicine, I ...... My, my family lives in the west of the city, my mother is sick in bed, this is my mother's life-saving money......"

The middle-aged man obviously didn't believe it, and stretched out his fist to hit the ugly boy: "If you can't enter the yamen, you dare to deceive people, you know that you are definitely not a good person when you look poor and ugly, you don't recognize the money you steal, the life-saving money of the fart, when you are a grandfather, you are stupid." ”

"yes, yes." The handsome young man smiled and nodded: "It must be that he stole the money, just look at his ugly appearance and know that it is not good, if he doesn't admit it, everyone will beat him and keep it." ”

"I didn't steal, I didn't steal." The ugly boy cried bitterly: "Why do you say that I steal money, you can't judge people by their appearance." ”

Yun Yao looked at Qi Jing's ugly face, and knew in her heart that the behavior of these people was about to make Qi Jing feel bad, look at the ugly boy, and then look at the handsome boy and the middle-aged man, Yun Yao lowered her head and pondered, just when everyone was about to beat the ugly boy, she spoke.

Yun Yao pushed aside the person in front of him and said crisply, "Slow down." (To be continued.) )
