Chapter 222: Reward
"One more."
"One more!"
The spectators shouted and asked Mi Pearl to perform a few more tricks.
Mi Pearl pinned the dagger to her waist, apologized to everyone, and said: "Today evening, tomorrow everyone please hurry up, my little sister and I are still here to set up a stall." ”
Everyone begged again and again, seeing that Mi Pearl had made up her mind, although she was still unsatisfied, she still wanted to wait and see if anyone could leave her and let her perform a few more tricks.
Qu Jin'er heard Mi Pearl say that she wanted to go back, so she quickly grabbed two handfuls of the money in the bowl and put it in her arms, reached out and grabbed Mi Pearl's hand, and held the big bowl on her stomach with the other hand.
Mi Pearl led Qu Jin'er to the outside of the crowd, and everyone dispersed in all directions, walking four or five steps away, and was suddenly blocked by a person in front of them.
Stopping Pearls was a man in his twenties, with a slightly dark complexion and a rough appearance, his clothes were ordinary, and there were stains on them that had not been washed in a long time.
Mi Pearl pulled Qu Jin'er to the left, and the man took a step to the right to block in front of them, Mi Pearl took two steps to the right, and the man took two steps to the left, blocking them from passing.
Pearl glared at him, "What do you want?" ”
Passers-by who did not go far stopped when they saw the movement here, and many people walked a few steps closer, and there was a tendency to surround the rice pearls.
The man was not afraid of Mi Pearl's gaze, and said lightly: "If you play another trick, I'll let you pass, how about it?" ”
"What tricks?"
"Simple." The man raised his finger and pointed at Pearl's body and said, "What if you throw the dagger into the sky and catch the falling dagger with your mouth?" ”
"No, it won't."
Mi Pearl decisively rejected him, he said it was simple, but it was very difficult to do, and it was extremely dangerous.
It is easy to throw a dagger into the air, but it is not so easy to catch it with your mouth, and if you don't get it right, you can be killed on the spot.
"Then don't even think about leaving today."
The man waved at the crowd, and then two more people came out, stopped in front of Mi Pearl and Qu Jin'er, stood there with their arms crossed, and shouted in their mouths: "Play one more, let your house go if you play it." ”
Several of them stood in front, and there were some people watching the excitement around, and it was not easy to get away easily.
Mi Pearl pulled Qu Jin'er back a few steps, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, squatted down and said to Qu Jin'er, "Come and sister, carry you." ”
"Oh!"
Qu Jin'er knew that this sister was very powerful, so she listened to what Mi Pearl said, looked at the big bowl in her hand, buckled it directly on her little head, hugged Mi Zhu's neck with both hands, and lay on her back.
Everyone looked at the Pearl Rice sisters, not knowing how they were going to go, and saw her pick up her sister and stand up, take another step back, and then run two steps, her toes lightly hit the ground and flew up, and she twisted a little on the man's head and went up to the house next to her, and after a few more ups and downs, she disappeared.
The man was used as a stepping stone by the rice pearl, his hands were in a mess on his head, his mouth was scolding, and the crowd watching the excitement next to him laughed.
Some other people looked at the distant rice pearl and praised it again and again: "Good kung fu, good skills!" ”
When she came to another street, Mi Pearl put Qu Jin'er down and took her hand and walked slowly.
"My sister is amazing! When will I be able to go to the roof like my sister? Qu Jin'er looked up at her with the arm holding the pearl with one hand, and pressed the other hand on the big sea bowl above her head.
She was carried by Rice Pearl on her back on the room just now, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to open her eyes, she was really afraid that she would fall down with Rice Pearl.
Mi Pearl took the big bowl off her little head, touched her little head, and said, "In three or four years, if you practice hard, maybe a few years earlier." ”
"Oh, I'll practice well." She said.
"Sister, we made one hundred and forty-five big dollars today." Standing on the ground, Qu Jin'er felt safe, and she talked more, and said with her fingers how much money she received for the first time and how much she collected a few times later.
Mi Pearl smiled and pinched her face, and said, "Seeing that you are so well-behaved and so clever, I have decided, let's go eat two bowls of wontons." ”
"Yay!"
Qu Jin'er cheered and ran towards the roadside food stall with Mi Pearl.
At a wonton stall, Mi Pearl asked for two bowls of wontons, sat down with Qu Jin'er, and ate slowly.
After eating the wontons, Mi Pearl said that she would buy two butter cakes, Qu Jin'er was hungry and ate a little in the evening, and she would have something to eat tomorrow morning.
Qu Jin'er pressed the big bowl on her stomach, said that she would not take the money out, and twisted her little ass to avoid the claws of Mi Pearl, "It's already cost ten copper coins, I don't want to eat butter cakes, let's go back to the temple and ask the old monk for two mixed noodles and steamed buns, and I'll just eat a little bit at night."
Didn't my sister say that she wanted to save money to go back to Jinling? This money has to be saved and cannot be spent anymore. She said.
"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you!"
Mi Pearl smiled helplessly and walked to the west, "Then let's go back to the temple, the gate will be closed in a while." She said.
Qu Jin'er ran a few steps and pulled the corner of Mi Pearl's clothes, and followed her towards Daming Temple.
In the evening, Cui Bao Zhai sent off the last guest, and the big shopkeeper Wang Shichang asked the man to close the door, gathered everyone in the big courtyard behind, and then went to the guest room to see Ruoxue, saying that everyone should kowtow to the owner to say goodbye.
Ruoxue smiled and asked, "Have you prepared all the reward money?" ”
Ruohong also smiled and looked at the shopkeeper Wang, where do you want to see Ruoxue! This is a reward!
Shopkeeper Wang bowed down and said, "I haven't prepared yet, I don't know how much the eldest lady wants to reward?" ”
Ruoxue thought for a moment and said, "Two taels of silver per person, what do you think?" ”
Without thinking, the shopkeeper replied, "A little less." Our family sells jewelry and jade, not a little silver. ”
Ruohong was a little surprised by the directness of the king's shopkeeper, so she was not afraid of offending Ruoxue, but what he said was right, the Mei family was not short of that bit of silver.
"Then five taels per person." Ruoxue said.
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Okay." ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper stepped aside and asked Ruoxue to go first.
Ruoxue and Ruohong stood up, and Lianxin and Danju put their cloaks on them, and followed them out.
The courtyard is brightly lit, and you can see everyone's happy faces, and everyone has seen Ruoxue and has not seen it, and at this time they all want to take advantage of the night to see Ruoxue a few more times, and also want to know what this owner is like who has only heard in rumors.
Ruoxue and a few people came out, standing on the most lit steps, looking at the people in the courtyard, their eyes swept over their faces one by one.
Everyone also looked intently, and there were a few people who were shining by the lights.
