Chapter 18: The Sugar Man
"Wronged, wronged......" Ji Jiuli hurriedly waved his hand to explain for himself, and raised his hand to point to a woman outside the window who was shopping for vegetables, "Didn't you say it?" Why are you seated in the right seat, I said that girl, that girl bought vegetables, wanted to take advantage of other people's bosses, and secretly took two onions and put them in her own vegetable basket, but was seen by the boss opposite, but was asked for two pennies for hush money, you say stupid or not. ”
Listening to Ji Jiuli's words, An Ping and Cha Ran both turned their heads to look out of the window at the same time, and sure enough, a woman was arguing with the owner of a stall about something, and then, the woman took out two pennies from her purse and put them in the hand of the stall owner with a full stomach, and complained again before leaving.
In this way, I really don't know if this Ji Jiuli is laughing at a glance, or laughing at the woman, An Ping looked back at Ji Jiuli, and frowned slightly, Ji Jiuli, the immortal who was beaten down by the Heavenly Monarch, is really unpredictable.
"Hahahaha, it's really stupid, it's so stupid, that girl." At first glance, he looked at the scene outside the window, slapped the table and laughed.
Ji Jiuli also hooked the corners of his mouth and didn't make a sound.
At this moment, the shopkeeper also walked up with a bowl of rice, and put the small bowl full of rice in front of Anping, "Girl, use it slowly." ”
"Thank you." Anping took the bowl in the shopkeeper and thanked him politely.
"You're welcome, girl." The shopkeeper smiled and was about to leave.
At first glance, he hurriedly called out to the second child in the store, "Eh, wait, Xiao'er, bring me a bowl of rice too." ”
"Okay, guest officer, guest officer, wait a minute." The shopkeeper responded with a smile and turned to leave.
Anping, Ji Jiuli and Charan are all good-looking people, the shopkeeper has taken care of so many people, and it is the first time to meet such a good-looking guest, especially the girl, who is really good-looking, although the clothes are a little better, but still can't hide the girl's alluring color.
An Ping just picked up the bowl on the table, and at first glance he took out a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube very attentively and handed it over, "Beauty, give." ”
An Ping looked at the pair of chopsticks in front of him, stunned, and then took the chopsticks in his hand and thanked him, "Thank you." "This time I thanked Anping sincerely.
"Hey, hey, no thanks." Listening to An Ping's thanks, he scratched his head a little embarrassed at first, saying that this ice beauty is not so cold.
An Ping picked up his bowl, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of food for himself, and ate it expressionlessly.
Ji Jiuli picked up another piece of meat, and then put it into Anping's bowl casually.
An Ping looked at the extra piece of meat in his bowl, and then looked up at Ji Jiuli.
Ji Jiuli hooked the corners of his mouth at An Ping and smiled harmlessly, "Ping'er, you are too thin, you can't just eat vegetables, you have to eat meat, otherwise if you become thin into a bone frame in the future, it will be very ugly." ”
"I'll clip it myself." Anping lowered his head and continued to eat his own food, and put the piece of meat that Ji Jiuli had brought into his mouth and ate it, although it was a very annoying person, but it couldn't be wasted.
Ji Jiuli smiled again after watching An Ping eat the piece of meat.
"That's right, other beauties will pick up their own vegetables, what kind of hands do you have?" At first glance, he was dissatisfied with Ji Jiuli's food for Anping, so he used Anping's words to scold Ji Jiuli.
"Willingly." Ji Jiuli glanced at it, then took the same meat that Anping had just eaten and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
At first glance, looking at the smile in Ji Jiuli's eyes, he snorted coldly, and also took out a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube, and put the meat of the chopsticks into Anping's bowl, "Beauty, the meat I clip is more delicious than the meat in Jiuli, you eat." ”
An Ping raised his head and glared at him with some annoyance, and then put the bowl in his hand on the table with a "bang", "I said, I will clip it myself." ”
Seeing that the beauty was a little annoyed, she quickly apologized, "Okay, okay, I won't clip it for you, beauty, you eat, you eat......" You must know that it was not easy for Cha Ran to make Anping happy, and Cha Ran absolutely did not want to anger Anping at this time.
Ji Jiuli sneered, "At first glance, at first glance, the beauty doesn't accept your affection." ”
"Go, go, you eat your food, what's your business, you talk a lot! Eat, eat, eat, eat......" glanced at Ji Jiuli angrily.
Immediately afterwards, at first glance, he was very dog-legged like An Pingxian and said, "Beauty, will you go back to Qingqiu with me?" ”
Anping ignored Chuan Ran and ate by himself.
At first glance, I didn't care whether Anping was listening or not, and I kept talking, "I haven't pressed Mrs. Zhai yet, you are so beautiful, you are really rare in heaven and earth, otherwise you go back to Qingqiu with me and be my lady of the village, I will definitely treat you well, how about it?" Do you want to think about it, you see, I'm not ugly, I'm so handsome, I'm as handsome as Jiuli, okay? As long as you follow me back to Qingqiu, I will definitely take you to eat fragrant and spicy food, so that you can enjoy endless glory and wealth, what brocade and satin, delicious food, I can give it to you...... And your women's favorite hairpin beads, I can give you ......"
At first glance, it was really a chatterbox that couldn't be closed, Anping ignored it, and quickly finished eating the rice in his bowl.
An Ping put down the bowl in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand informally, and looked back at An Ping, "I'm done eating, now we can talk about Duanfu, right?" ”
Ji Jiuli glanced sideways at An Ping, and also put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Of course you can." ”
"But I've eaten a little too much today, and I'm afraid of accumulating food, so you can go out for a walk with me and eliminate my food." Ji Jiuli picked up a fan resting on the table and stood up.
"Ji Jiuli!" Anping was annoyed.
"Yes." Ji Jiuli lowered his head and smiled at An Ping, then bent down slightly, stretched out his hand in front of An Ping, and wanted to pull An Ping up.
Anping angrily opened Ji Jiuli's hand, stood up from the ground, and then walked outside the house.
Ji Jiuli looked at the back of An Ping who left angrily, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Beauty, beauty, where are you going?" suddenly shouted at An Ping's back, and looked back at Ji Jiuli, "Jiuli, where are you going to take the beauty to eat?" Are you supposed to be ......?"
"What do you think?" Ji Jiuli kicked Cha Ran, who was sitting on the side, and continued, "You have been staying in this inn for the past few days, and in two days, you will bring a few servants and a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry to Duanfu to find me." Remember. With that, Ji Jiuli reached out and patted Cha Ran's shoulder again before leaving.
At first glance, he reacted, "Oh, I understand, it turns out that you are taking a beautiful woman to Duanfu, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task." Leave it to me. At first glance, he patted his chest again, indicating that he was trustworthy.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something at first, and shouted at Ji Jiuli's back as he left, "Where did I go to find you servants, gold, silver and jewelry?" ”
"Figure it out for yourself." Ji Jiuli didn't look back.
As soon as Anping walked out of the inn, he stopped, looking at the busy streets, all kinds of shouting on the streets came and went, this was the first time Anping had seen such a scene.
The brilliant sunlight sprinkled between the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt cornices, the high fluttering shop signs, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the tranquil and comfortable smiling faces.
Ji Jiuli stood in front of An Ping and smiled, "Ping'er, this should be the first time you have seen such a prosperous scene, right?" ”
To be honest, in fact, when Anping saw such a scene, he felt a trace of joy and fear in his heart.
"Let's go, this Licheng is no worse than Chang'an, I'll take you for a walk." As he spoke, Ji Jiuli raised his feet and walked forward.
Seeing this, An Ping also hurriedly lifted his heels.
An Ping followed closely behind Ji Jiuli, like a timid child.
"Buy steamed buns, big buns with thin skin and lots of filling......"
"Sugar man, candy man, two ...... for a penny"
"Walk by, don't miss it, sell eggs, ten cents and six ......"
Anping listened to all kinds of clamours, became curious about money, and turned his head to ask Ji Jiuli, "What are the pennies and tencents they are talking about?" ”
Hearing this, Ji Jiuli looked back at An Ping with a smile, "That's what a penny is." As he spoke, as soon as Ji Jiuli stretched out his hand, there was an extra copper coin in his hand, and then, Ji Jiuli picked up the copper coin in his hand and shook it in front of An Ping's eyes, "This is a penny, just sold the candy man, you can take this copper coin and exchange it for two sugar people." ”
Then, Ji Jiuli took Anping's hand again, and put the copper coin in his hand in Anping's palm, "I haven't eaten candy for a long time, Ping'er buy me two back." ”
An Ping looked down at the copper coin in his hand, listening to Ji Jiuli's words, An Ping looked up at Ji Jiuli in disbelief, let her go shopping?
"What are you doing? Ping'er doesn't want to go to Duanfu? Ji Jiuli opened the folding fan and shook it leisurely.
Listening to Ji Jiuli's words, Anping didn't hesitate, squeezed the copper coin in his hand, turned around and walked back, isn't it just to buy something, what's the difficulty? An Ping comforted himself in the bottom of his heart, but An Ping's hand holding the copper coin broke out in a cold sweat.
An Ping walked a few steps to the stall of the candy seller and stood, but he just stood there in a daze, without saying anything, and Anping didn't know what to say, because Anping didn't know how to trade at all, and no one had ever taught Anping these things.
The candy seller was an old man who was not tall, with gray hair, and his weather-beaten face was carved with wrinkles left by the years. Those gentle eyes shone with kindness.
and his bronzed face, deeply engraved with wrinkles; The two big hands like small fans are also full of calluses.
The old man saw An Ping standing in front of his stall in a daze, but he didn't say anything, so he looked up at An Ping with a smile, "Girl, are you going to buy candy?" ”
"Yes." Hearing the old man's words, An Ping hurriedly replied, expressing his affirmation.
"How many do you want to buy?" The old man smiled peacefully, giving people a very warm feeling.
"Two." An Ping squeezed the copper coin in his hand again, and was unconsciously a little nervous.
"What does the girl want, the old man will pinch the girl." The old man smiled and said, and the old man lowered his head and took the spoon in a basin beside him with his wrinkled hand, and stirred it, and the iron basin was filled with oil-red syrup.
