Chapter 17: The End of the World

The peddler held his head high, as if he was proud of having this kind of rouge, and squinted his eyes and said: "This is the high-grade rouge I imported from other countries, counting you ten taels, it is cheap enough!"

Twilight doesn't know much about women's things, but her own son knows it clearly. So, after listening to the peddler's words, he asked Childe, "Childe, is this rouge really worth so much money?"

Bei Lingtian lightly fanned the folding fan a few times, and said indifferently: "Fake! It's worth twenty copper plates at most." It's a peddler pit him!"

"Oh my God, can you do this? Then this peddler is too ruthless, right?"

Bei Lingtian stared straight at Scarlet's back, hooked his lips and smiled: "Heh, people who don't even distinguish between rouge and ointment, who don't pit him?" I'm quite curious, how will this little boy deal with it next!"

"Ten taels of silver is enough for me and my master to eat for several months, and I won't give you the silver like this......!"

Seeing that Scarlet was about to stop talking, the hawker panicked and asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless you can prove that it's worth so much silver!, let alone ten taels, I won't even give you a copper plate!"

The peddler looked at her in amazement, and fell silent.

I thought that this boy didn't distinguish between rouge ointments and was a stupid person. Thinking that I could trick him well, how did I know that he would be so powerful.

Everyone is watching, and the knowledgeable prince of Beifu is here, he really can't come up with a way to prove it.

If he insisted on proving it himself, he wouldn't be able to get any of them then, and he would have lost a box of rouge in vain. It's not worth it, it's really not worth it!

Thinking of this, in order to get some benefits, the peddler immediately changed his face and hurriedly changed his words: "Wrong, wrong! This broken rouge is just ordinary rouge, and the imported rouge has been collected by me! This son, it doesn't need ten taels, just thirty copper plates!"

Scarlet smiled lightly, knowing that he would definitely not be aggressive anymore if she made such a fuss, but he didn't expect this face to become so fast.

She pondered for a moment, took out a piece of broken silver from the bag given by her master and handed it to the vendor.

"I don't have ten taels of silver, only this tiny piece of silver. You're right, it's not easy for ordinary people to do business. What's more, it is true that my ignorance has ruined your business today, and you should take this money as compensation. ”

"This ......" instantly, the peddler's face felt as hot as fire, he couldn't take the silver, and he didn't take it, and he was ashamed in his heart.

"Take it, don't be embarrassed, you deserve it. With that, Scarlet forced the silver into his hand.

"Then please wait for a moment!"

But after a while, I saw the vendor come over with a box that was slightly different from before.

He presented the small box with both hands and said sincerely: "Childe, if you meet your beloved in the future, this box of rouge will not be cold when you send it out!"

Scarlet hesitantly took the rouge, held it in the palm of her hand and looked at it again, and turned on the broken thought mode: "Beloved? What is beloved? What is the magic of this person? And how do I know where he is?"

Seeing that the boy didn't seem to have any intention of accepting it, the peddler was a little anxious, "What are you talking about, Childe?" But what's wrong with my rouge?"

Scarlet Ni shook the locket and said with a smile: "No, no, no, it's very proper, very proper, thank you!"

The excitement came to an end, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Bei Lingtian raised his eyebrows, and whispered to Dusk Di as he turned around: "I didn't expect this little boy to be quite kind!"

Twilight shrugged, "That's it, it's just a pity, this boy took his things and left, and he couldn't see him clearly from beginning to end." Otherwise, with the temperament of a child, maybe he can make a friend!"

Bei Lingtian glanced sideways at Twilight, "That's right!Hey, I found that you are especially smart today......

"Ni'er! Where did you go just now, it's hard to find a teacher!"

"Master, Ni'er is here, and she hasn't gone far!"

Just two short sentences of dialogue made Bei Lingtian's heart jerk, and he turned back uncontrollably.

He threw away the folding fan and pushed the twilight flute away, excitedly searching for the sound. However, from the street to the end of the street, except for the strangers who came and went, I never saw the stinky and arrogant little woman five years ago.

Heh, it should be a big girl now, right?

If there is no hope, how can we be disappointed? It is only because the hope is so high that I can only comfort myself with a hearing problem.

"Childe, Childe!" Twilight ran over panting through the crowd holding the fan he had lost. "Childe, why didn't you even say hello and suddenly ran away? But what happened?"

Bei Lingtian gasped and said with a far-fetched smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I heard someone calling a friend I haven't seen for many years." ”

Twilight Di frowned suspiciously: "Friend, do you have any friends that Twilight doesn't know?"

Bei Lingtian lowered his head slightly weakly, his eyes staring straight at the ground: "Dusk Di, I'm a little tired today, let's go home!"

"Could it be Brother Twilight?" Scarlet, who was behind the screen of the puppet show, lowered her head and concentrated on playing with the puppet in her hand, and raised her head sharply after hearing the name.

She put down the puppet excitedly, thinking that this time she would be able to explain the events of the year to them clearly, but she did not expect that before she could go out to look for it, she was called away by the master.

"Ni'er, it's late at night, it's time for us to go back to the inn to rest. “

Scarlet looked at the crowded street and nodded a little reluctantly, "Oh, I know, master." ”

She turned, and he turned around. It's just that she went forward, but he walked backwards, east and west......

However, the distance of a paper screen separated the two people who were close at hand.

After returning home, Twilight thought that Gongzi would still return the same way, but he staggered through the gate of the North Mansion as if he had lost his soul, causing Twilight to follow him nervously and stumble as well.

Until they entered the hall, the old lady was waiting in the hall, and when they saw that their faces were quite heavy, Twilight's heart was even more flustered.

Master North asked in a deep voice, "Where have you been?"

Without waiting for Bei Lingtian to reply, Dusk Di knelt down, and after saluting, he shuddered and returned: "Go back to the master, go to the night market." ”

"Night Market?" Master Bei glared at Bei Lingtian fiercely, with an incorrigible expression on his face, "Hmph, you really feel uncomfortable without going out for a day!

"Master!" Seeing her son being scolded but not replying a word, her eyes were glazed, Mrs. Bei felt distressed.

"With so many people watching, can't you talk well......?

"I know what Madame wants to say, don't you just want to say that Tian'er is the only bloodline of the Bei family? I've heard this sentence for eighteen years!" Master Bei interrupted Madame Bei's words angrily, and then frowned and looked at Duidi: "Okay, get up! If you kneel again, this rebel should fight with me again!"

Twilight Di glanced up at Master North tremblingly, and after confirming that he was getting up, he kowtowed and thanked him, and stayed aside honestly.
