Chapter 271: The Pride of the Humble Family
On the contrary, it adds countless artistic conception beauty.
The capital of Snow Country.
Wonderful.
Xu Jiaojiao felt that she and Liao Qing walked in the snow like this, which was quite freehand, if you ignore her coarse cloth bucket and big cotton jacket with big red flowers unique to her village aunt, especially if she still has a red belt of the same color tied around her waist.
Her dress is the focus when she walks on the street.
The taste of the original owner is quite real, and the word village girl is almost engraved on the big cotton jacket.
Fortunately, Xu Jiaojiao is not a person who cares so much about other people's eyes, she calmly takes in all kinds of curiosity, disdain, and disgust.
Liao Qing is okay, although his jacket is older and thinner, and some places are patched, but in general, it is low-key, not as good as Xu Jiaojiao's swagger.
There is also Liao Qingren who is handsome, and no matter how shabby the jacket is, he can't stand up to him handsome, so it doesn't look ugly, but it has a kind of poor young man's proud style.
"Liao Qing, what did you say last time? You picked it up by your dad around Iceyang City, and you might be able to remember the terrain here? You've seen a few streets, do you remember anything? ”
Liao Qing has rough skin and thick meat, and he is not embarrassed at all, "Not yet." ”
Xu Jiaojiao laughed, when Liao Lang picked him up, he was still a baby, and he could remember a ball of yarn.
The big guy always lied as if it were true.
This cheek is as thick as a city wall.
The two turned a few more streets, and finally found a few shops selling specialty products.
When you go in, it's really dazzling, all the world, all the seas, all the north, all kinds of goods.
Among them are seafood sellers, all of which are dried in the sun, packed in palatial boxes, and covered with transparent light gauze covers, so that customers do not get their hands on them directly.
Xu Jiaojiao asked the price.
The shopkeeper looked at her outfit and felt that she didn't look like someone who could afford it, so he asked several times, and beckoned others first.
In the end, it was Liao Qing who asked the shopkeeper for the price, and the shopkeeper quoted him a price.
The price is ridiculously high.
The shopkeeper said that let the two of them go shopping elsewhere, there are many places to sell bargains in Bingyang City, don't block their storefront, and lower the level of their storefront......
Xu Jiaojiao: ......!
Should she go and change into a big padded jacket? But that's all she has.
There were still a few shops selling seafood, and Xu Jiaojiao didn't go in again.
They all asked Liao Qing to go in and ask the price, inquire about the market, and compare.
After walking a few streets and entering dozens of shops, in the end, both of them had some bottom in their hearts.
I have selected a few suitable stores, and when I am free tomorrow, I will take the box and sell it, and resell it to whichever one has the highest price......
Afraid that Xu Darong would have news, the two did not go out again after they came back.
I waited until late in the evening.
Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing were waiting left and right in the inn, and Xu Darong came back.
As soon as he pushed the door, he happily said loudly, "Old sister, Liao Qing, there is news, I saw Zhao Zhubo today!" ”
"Really? Is the fourth brother okay now? What's the situation? Xu Jiaojiao asked hurriedly.
Erlang also came in, Erlang's padded jacket was also old, his hat was also old, and his little face was red from the cold.
There was a brazier when she entered the house, and Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly asked him to come over and roast it by the brazier.
Xu Darong took off his fur hat and stepped forward.
There were four people, three men and one woman, so two rooms were booked.
Three men sleep in a big house, and Xu Jiaojiao is a woman and sleeps in a small house.
Both rooms are conveniently connected to each other.
There is only a brazier in the big house, and it's not time to sleep yet, so Xu Jiaojiao is waiting for news in the big house, and by the way, she is warm.
and Liao Qing have nothing, say a few words.
Liao Qing roasted steamed bun skewers on top of the brazier.
The food in the inn is expensive, and it is not very delicious, so Xu Jiaojiao bought steamed buns and sauce outside, and went back to the house to roast and eat, which was economical and affordable.
When they go out, they have little silver, and they have to save people, so they can save a little.
"Zhao Zhubo said that the fourth child is still in prison, but there is food and drink, and he has not been interrogated or sentenced again, and he is now waiting for the performance of our family." Xu Darong said.
Xu Jiaojiao said, "That's great, the fourth brother didn't suffer, so how do you want us to behave?" Can you let us go into the cell and see the fourth brother first? ”
Xu Darong was stunned, "Zhao Zhubo said that he wanted us to take one hundred and fifty taels of silver out first, and inquire about the compensation of the victims for us." As for the question of seeing your fourth brother, I also asked, Zhao Zhubo said that he could not let his family visit for the time being, saying that the guards were very strict, and your fourth brother was now in a case where he almost lost his life, and his family members could not be allowed to visit at will, unless the victim withdrew the case and did not sue the fourth child, our family members could meet. ”
"One hundred and fifty taels? Can't we see the fourth brother first? Big brother, is this person reliable? Xu Jiaojiao was skeptical.
Xu Darong's face was solemn, "Naturally, it is reliable, the matter of the fourth brother's trouble, is what he passed on to us, he is a distant relative of our master's family, he has eaten together before, chatted about friendship, and is a warm-hearted person who talks about credit, haven't you also seen your fourth brother's handwritten letter?" ”
Xu Jiaojiao thought for a while, "That's okay, big brother, when you pay the silver, we will go with you, one hundred and fifty taels is not a small amount, you are not safe alone." ”
"People Zhao Zhubo said, this is a matter of private mediation through the back door, it is not appropriate to take many people to go, people Zhao Zhubo hopes that the fewer people who know about this matter, the better. If he is found out and gives us the back door, then his job may be lost. Old girl, you give me the ninety taels of silver you brought first, and we can just make up one hundred and fifty taels to mediate with the victim's family, and the rest will be easy to do. Xu Darong straightened his face and said unhappily.
Xu Jiaojiao also sank her face, "Big brother, we can understand Lord Zhao's feelings, but I am not an outsider, you took Erlang with you today, which means that the two of them should also be acceptable to Lord Bo." When you hand over the silver one day, you won't take Erlang with you, won't you take me there? It's not too crowded, is it? Big brother, think about it, the silver is in my hands, the silver in our family is all earned by me, and I also have the right to speak, I can't be confused, let me take the silver, and don't even let me see people's faces, it's impossible. ”
Xu Darong rarely saw Xu Jiaojiao's-for-tat, in the past, she often lost her temper, but she was a little unreasonable, not so calm and strong.
But he couldn't agree, so he straightened his face and said, "Old sister, what do you mean by this?" Are you unwilling to take the silver out to save the fourth? The money in the family is earned by you, but you are not married, and the silver earned should have been in the middle school, and it was your mother who loved you, so that you kept it in your hands, and when there was nothing to do at home, it was okay, and now the family is in trouble, and you still don't take it out, what do you want? As long as the silver doesn't care whether the brother lives or dies? You are young, why are you so vicious? ”
