Chapter 603: Hairpin

Maybe they were hungry, and Chi Wan and Yan Xi couldn't care about their image at this time, so they devoured it. With their ragged clothes, they really have a beggar feeling.

After the wind and clouds, Chi Wan touched her round belly with a satisfied face, "Little Er, settle the bill." ”

"Come on!" The shopkeeper answered and walked over, "Guest officer, it's a total of five taels of silver." ”

"Five taels?!" Chi Wan's eyes widened in surprise, "Xiao Er, you can't be a black shop, right?" ”

"Look at what you're saying." Facing Chi Wan's questioning, Xiao Er explained unhurriedly, "We have convenient transportation in the city, and the caravans that come and go here like to stop here." It is said that scarcity is expensive, and the rooms in the inn are not enough, so won't the price go up? ”

When Ji Wan heard this, she frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiao Er is not in a hurry, he looks like an old god is there, and he is not afraid of the customers running away, "In this city, my inn is the most cost-effective, and the prices of other inns will only be more expensive." Besides, now that it's all at this point, even if you want to go to other inns, I'm afraid there won't be a room for you to stay. ”

Chi Wan looked at the already dark sky outside the window, in fact, after so many days, she didn't want to go outside anymore, she just wanted to find a place to rest. Although the price here is a little expensive, it is clean and tidy, and the service attitude is good.

And she had heard before that trade was particularly prosperous along the Northland border, and the shopkeeper would not lie to her in this regard.

"Okay, you show us the way, and let the kitchen boil a few more jugs of water." Chi Wan handed over the silver in her hand painfully, and the city lord only gave her five taels of silver, which was all used up before it was hot.

Fortunately, the money is not spent, and this inn has received more businessmen who are dusty, and they have already had their own set of hospitality experience, not only to prepare hot water for bathing for them, but also to have a change of clothes, but to save them a lot of energy.

A good night's dream, the next day when it was just dawn, Chi Wan woke up, maybe she was really tired, this night, she slept very sweetly. But after enough rest, an even more serious problem was placed in front of them, and they had no money.

A penny is difficult to beat a hero, these days, without silver, it is difficult to move an inch.

The room in the inn was also up to time, and Chi Wan was embarrassed to continue, so after waking up Yan Xi, they went out together.

For a while, they didn't know where to go, and wandered around the city.

This city is full of people coming and going, it seems to be very noisy, a thriving scene, it is now daytime, the shops are open to welcome customers, Chi Wan and Yan Xi have come all the way, it has been a long time since they have seen such prosperity, and they can't help but look around.

Unconsciously, she and Yanxi walked to the door of a jewelry store, and the owner of the jewelry store warmly beckoned them to go in and shop, which woman doesn't love jewelry? Although Ji Wan was shy, she still walked in involuntarily.

As soon as she entered the jewelry store, she was dazzled by the gold and silver jewelry inside, and her eyes were full of gold, and she expected that every piece of it must be worth a lot of money.

"Girl, look at this hairpin, it's a crested hairpin made of gold, can it be seen?" The shopkeeper diligently handed over a hairpin, which was extremely exquisitely made, Chi Wan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took it.

She carefully played with the crested hairpin in her hand, the hairpin was golden all over, and the golden phoenix on the hairpin head was even more lifelike, and the golden phoenix's mouth had a little vermilion, which played the role of the finishing touch.

Chi Wan held this hairpin in her hand again and again, and she couldn't put it down, which made the smile on the boss's face a little thicker.

Although these two people are dressed plainly, they are not ordinary people at first glance. She has been doing business here for so many years, and at a glance, she thinks that the other party is the young master and young lady who sneaked out to play with the rich and noble.

This kind of rich kid has never had any heart, and with his three-inch tongue, he will definitely be able to buy a lot of things from the other party.

The wishful thinking in the boss's heart crackled, who knew that Yan Xi did not play cards according to common sense, he pulled Chi Wan's sleeve unhappily, "Hurry up and go, we are not here to go shopping, and besides, you don't have so much money on you, how can you afford to buy a hairpin?" ”

Hearing this, the smile on the boss's face suddenly froze, followed by a burst of impatience, "Don't have the money to come to us to see the jewelry?" Go and go, don't bother us with business. ”

This sudden change of attitude made Yan Xi's brows furrow even tighter, and as soon as he wanted to teach the other party a lesson, he was pulled behind by Chi Wan.

Chi Wan gave him a look, signaling him not to cause trouble, and then smiled at the boss, "I'm sorry, boss, let's go." ”

She reluctantly put down the hairpin, and pulled Yan Xi out of the store step by step. Yan Xi was very dissatisfied with Chi Wan's behavior of not being able to walk when she saw jewelry, and kept muttering in her mouth.

"Okay, the boss is also open for business, we can't afford it, and it's really delayed people to entertain other guests all the time." Looking at Yan Xi's pouting mouth that was about to hang the oil pot, Chi Wan rubbed his head dotingly.

Yan Xi tilted his head, straightened his hair, and glanced at Chi Wan unhappily, as if he was blaming the other party for messing up his hairstyle. This arrogant expression made Chi Wan laugh.

"That boss is a dog who looks down on people, and when I have money in the future, I must buy the entire jewelry store for my sister."

"Okay, okay, then my sister is waiting for you to buy me jewelry." Chi Wan only thought that this was Yan Xi's angry words, and casually echoed twice, but Yan Xi took it seriously.

He is a dignified lord, what can't he buy? I'm going to be deflated here. If he wasn't afraid of revealing his identity, he would have to teach the boss a good lesson.

The two continued to walk forward, the sun rose higher and higher, Chi Wan couldn't help but feel a little hungry, but they didn't have a penny in their hands, let alone go to the tavern to eat, even if they couldn't buy two biscuits.

"It's so fragrant, what does it smell like?" Yan Xi suddenly smelled a fragrance in the air, and subconsciously shrugged the tip of his nose, looking for the source of the aroma.

Chi Wan was also attracted by this aroma, and pulled Yan Xi to go in that direction, and after a while, she saw a stall selling roast chicken in front of her, and the stall owner was shouting hard, "Sell roast chicken, sell roast chicken-"

Chi Wan and Yan Xi exchanged a look with each other, and looked at the stall together, only to see that the golden roast chicken was wrapped in oil paper, and the aroma came out through the oil paper one by one, Yan Xi sniffed hard, tilted his head and looked at the oil paper, as if he wanted to pull the roast chicken out from under the oil paper with his eyes.

He swallowed his saliva and looked at Chi Wan with a look of hope, "Sister, do you still have any money?" ”

Chi Wan shook her head very honestly, "All the money was used to pay for the inn's room, but I have no money on me." ”

Hearing this, Yan Xi immediately pursed his lips in frustration, "Alas, I thought I could have a good meal." Sister, you at least look a little richer than me, why don't you have a copper plate on you? ”

Chi Wan sighed helplessly, "It's not easy for me to run out of such a messy place, how can I still have silver on my body?" Money is something outside of my body, and even if I had money on me, I wouldn't have known where it had been thrown at that time. ”

Yan Xi also knew that she was telling the truth, when the two met for the first time, they were in an extremely embarrassing situation, and they had been stopped by the soldiers guarding the city gate before because they had no money, so it was strange that there would be money on them at this time.

But understanding is understanding, but his stomach can't help but shout, "Sister, I really want to eat roast chicken, do you have any other way?" ”

Yan Xi's pitiful eyes made Chi Wan a little overwhelmed, but she still spread her hands ruthlessly, "You see that I don't have a single piece of jewelry on my body now, only this dress is still worth a little money, but we have to continue to hurry, how can we sell the clothes?" ”

After that, Chi Wan took out her purse, the purse was deflated, and at a glance, she knew that there was not even a copper plate in it.

Yan Xi felt completely desperate, took Chi Wan's hand, and sighed again and again, "Alas, I didn't expect that I would be reduced to the point where I couldn't even eat a roast chicken." ”

"Get out of the way!" At this moment, a domineering voice suddenly came, interrupting his self-pity.

Chi Wan hurriedly pulled Yan Xi to the side, thinking that some big man was coming, but when she turned her head to look, she only saw a fat teenager walking over.

This young man's face is full of meat, and he knows at a glance that he must usually eat very well, and he is the kind of rich kid who never lacks food and clothing, Yan Xi subconsciously frowned when he saw him.

"Bring me two roast chickens!" The rich boy dropped two ingots of silver and raised his chin proudly.

These two ingots of silver far exceeded the price of the two roast chickens, and the stall owner did not expect such a good thing in the world, and the hands of the excited hands handed over the roast chicken were trembling.

"He has so much silver, why don't you share a little with us, so that we can also eat two roast chickens." Yan Xi couldn't help muttering, and Chi Wan pulled his hand and signaled him not to cause trouble.

The rich kid turned his head, walked to another stall, and picked up a small straw toy, "This is not bad, I want it all!" ”

He thought that the stall owner would also be very excited, but he didn't expect that the other party was excited, but it was not the same as he imagined, "No...... No, Childe, these are already set by others, you can't buy them all! ”

"How much do you want to sell for this straw? The master gave you three times the price, is it enough? The words of the rich boy were full of magnanimity.
