Before noon, Lin Yun and Lin Duo had already changed people and horses, and carried a paper kite with a long bamboo pole to the east gate of the capital. Lin Yun looked back, Lin Zhu followed unhurriedly not far away, she said to Lin Duo: "Just stop here and wait for Zhu'er, she said to give us two steamed buns each, and then enter the city when we see things." ”

Lin Duo hurriedly unloaded the burden and said, "Eldest sister, what if she doesn't give us steamed buns?" ”

Lin Yun said: "If you don't give steamed buns, we will trample all these paper kites." ”

The two of them stood in front of the burden and waited for Lin Zhu. At this time, there were not many people entering the city, and a few stopped and looked at it curiously. Lin Yun and Lin Duo rarely go out, and they haven't been to the town a few times, let alone the capital, and they both blushed and lowered their heads.

I heard a man's voice in my ear ask, "Little girl, how much is this butterfly?" ”

The two did not dare to raise their heads or speak.

"Uncle, twenty copper plates."

Lin Zhu, who hurried up, hurriedly said that the first business came before he entered the city, so he had to hurry up.

The beautiful woman beside the man smiled and asked, "Can it be less, a little more than twenty." ”

The woman is holding a cute little girl with a round face in one hand, and a little boy with a tiger head in the other, which seems to be a family of four.

The eyes of the two children were full of surprise and anticipation, which was really cute. Lin Zhu said: "Big brother and sister-in-law, the first business in the early morning, you are cheap, eighteen copper plates." ”

The man didn't speak, the woman's good-looking eyebrows trembled, and she said with a smile, "Little girl, it's cheaper, fifteen copper plates, I want two." ”

"Sixteen copper plates, no less." Lin Zhu said: "Big brother and sister-in-law, sixteen copper plates is already the lowest price, and when I go out, my father can explain, at least twenty copper plates." The little woman is looking at the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the two children are like golden boys and girls, and it is the first business in the morning, and there are eight copper plates missing. ”

Lin Zhu is small, long and beautiful, a pair of eyes are more vivid, the words are clear and the voice is crisp, the eldest brother and sister-in-law called kindly, and praised the two children, the man was happy and said to the woman: "Child, just buy it,"

After speaking, he took out the money bag from his arms, counted thirty-two copper plates and handed them to Lin Zhu.

The woman smiled kindly and let the two children choose, the boy picked a swallow and the girl chose a butterfly. ，

Both of them are drawn by Lin Zhu with a brush.

It seems that this kind of cultural flavor is a little easier to sell.

The man saw that the two children had been selected, helped them hold them in his hands, and led one into the city gate with a smile.

Lin Zhu put the copper plate into the money bag, and Lin Yun Lin Duo dared to raise his head.

Neither of them dared to raise their heads at this scene just now, but they both heard it clearly. Thinking about earning more than 30 copper plates so quickly, I forgot about steamed buns for a while.

looked at Lin Zhu enviously.

Lin Zhu showed the steamed buns in the shoulder bag on his back, and said, "Now let's go into the city, you follow me." I said you can put it there, and I'll do the rest. All you have to do is stand aside. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, in addition to steamed buns, there are also chicken legs. ”

Lin Yun was carrying a paper kite, and Lin Duo lowered his head and followed beside him, following the inspection of the soldiers guarding the city. I saw Lin Zhu in front of me from a distance, followed her forward, walked through a few streets, turned around, and came to a very wide street, stopped at a junction leading to the alley, and placed the paper kite on the edge of the alley.

Lin Yunlin Duo stood aside with his head down, and Lin Zhuxiao stood beside the paper kite slightly. After a while, several gorgeously dressed people came to the alley. Lin Zhu looked at the young man's appearance, with the child, so he crisply solicited: "Paper kite, a good paper kite that flies to the Nine Heavens, only twenty-five copper plates each, come and buy it and come and see, there are only a dozen, and it will be gone if it is late." ”

Lin Yun and Lin Duo lowered their heads and glanced at each other strangely, didn't they say twenty just now, why did it go up by five in a while.

Lin Zhu was selling hard, but he didn't forget the titles of Miss Young Master, Mrs. Old Master, and Little Young Master.

It didn't take much effort, and there were a lot of people around.

In this era, there are not many people who sell paper kites, and those who put paper kites are basically self-sufficient, and those who come out of the alleys are from wealthy families. Seeing that these paper kites are exquisitely made and unique, the little girl who sells paper kites is also well-behaved, with a sweet mouth, just for her few words of salutation, that smiling face, after a while, more than a dozen were sold out.

These rich people don't care about these small sums of money, and almost no one bargains.

The business is booming, the price is still high, and the forest is even more happy. Originally, she suddenly felt that the price should be raised a little, so that once people bargained, she would pay it back, which was almost like a budget. Who knew that no one would pay the price, and it would be seventy more copper plates.

It's still early at this time, and it's not easy to come to the capital, and no one cares about it, so you have to take a good turn.

said to Lin Yunlinduo: "Let's go shopping, and when we get tired, we will eat steamed chicken legs." In the afternoon, I will invite you to eat noodles, and if you are lucky today, I will give you 20 copper plates each, and you can buy whatever you want. ”

Lin Yun Lin Duo looked at her stupidly, Lin Yun is usually a smart child, but he has never spent money by himself, and he doesn't know the concept of twenty copper plates.

Lin Zhu thought that these two people thought that they were so dissatisfied with selling so much money, so he hurriedly said: "These extra ten copper plates are all my own initiative, and they are the extra money from selling." Not a lot. You don't know that you need to use paper, make paste, cotton thread, and reel pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. These things are still on credit for me by the shopkeeper Qi, and I don't make much money after calculating it, even if I buy a bag of salt for my family, it's not enough. ”

Before Lin Zhu could speak, Lin Duo hurriedly said, "A lot, a lot, where are we going." ”

Lin Zhu said: "I didn't go shopping last time, so I'll walk around later." Just get back to the East City Gate by the afternoon. Now let's find a place with fewer people, and I'll give you your money first, and then you can buy things. ”

Lin Zhu covered the money bag, Lin Yun and Lin Duo followed, Lin Duo still wanted to hold the main pole, Lin Zhu smiled and said: "If you don't take it, just put it there, there are many of these things at home." ”

The three of them walked happily to the less crowded place.

At the entrance of another alley, Jin Xiaoguang, who was extraordinary, slowly narrowed his deep eyes and looked at the backs of the three little girls.

Shumo behind him suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Childe, look." ”

I saw seven or eight half-grown teenagers in ragged clothes and unkempt hair, following the three girls from a distance, walking deeper into the alley.

There are only a few families living in this alley, and each of them occupies a large area, except for the gate is a long alley, and the further you go inside, the fewer people there are, and the end is a dead end.

Seeing that a few ruffian teenagers followed Lin Zhu and them to the depths of the alley, Shumo whispered, "Childe? ”

Jin Xiaoguang opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he saw that the young man who followed at the end suddenly shouted wildly and jumped up like crazy.
