"It's really good, boss, how do you know?" Xia Jingnian replied.

The boss laughed twice and said, "When I first married my mother-in-law, it was as sweet as honey!" Now that I have been married for more than ten years, I have long since lost that greasy energy! Now when I go home, if I don't wash my feet before going to bed, my mother-in-law will scold me! ”

As soon as he heard this, Xia Jingnian hurriedly turned around and said, "Young lady, don't scold me for not washing my feet in the future!" ”

Ji Qiang's face turned red, and she slammed her small fist at Xia Jingnian, but it didn't hurt, which made Xia Jingnian laugh.

After eating the jelly, the two wandered around the city again.

I have to say that this day is indeed very lively at the foot of the day, small business stalls can be seen everywhere, and the streets are also full of people coming and going, and it is peaceful.

Only occasionally a few beggars came over and stretched out a broken bowl, skinny as wood, and their voices were as small as mosquitoes and flies, and they trembled and said, "Uncle, give me some reward."

Whenever they saw such beggars, Xia Jingnian and Ji Qiang's hearts were not very comfortable, but they couldn't give too much, they gave some small pieces of silver, and the beggars saw most of the copper coins, and when they saw that they gave broken silver, they kowtowed with gratitude.

"Seeing these beggars, I really can't bear it, and I always want to work harder so that these beggars can also live a good life." Xia Jingnian just gave a beggar a piece of loose silver, and he really couldn't bear it in his heart, and said.

"There will be such beggars in all parts of the city, no matter how hard you try, these people will not break, don't give yourself too much baggage." Ji Qiang comforted.

Although this is true, it is a great comfort to say it in Ji Qiang's mouth.

With a deep sigh, Xia Jingnian held Ji Qiang's hand tightly and tightly.

"There's a sugar gourd over there!" Ji Qiang diverted Xia Jingnian's attention and stretched out her hand to point to a sugar gourd not far away, "Is it good to buy one?" ”

"Okay, it's up to you." After shopping all the way, Ji Qiang ate and drank, bought a lot of gadgets that could not be seen in the palace, and brought some rouge gouache to Leng Xiang and Xi'er, and the father-in-law behind him was almost unable to hold it.

bought a sugar gourd, and the father-in-law behind him saw that the two of them were still going shopping, so he couldn't help but remind him loudly: "Young master, young lady, it's getting dark this day, shouldn't we go home?" ”

"Huh? Really, that'...... Shall we go home? Ji Qiang looked at the sunset on the horizon, and if she didn't go back, the palace gate would be locked, and the people in the palace would be in a hurry.

"You put your things back in the car first, and the young lady and I will walk back slowly." Xia Jingnian is facing justice.

The father-in-law was a little worried, "But young master, the slave doesn't follow you, you ......"

"There's a dark guard." After only three words, the father-in-law nodded obediently and retreated in the direction of the carriage.

Seeing my father-in-law struggling to carry so many things, they were already stacked higher than his head, and he had to tilt his head to look at the road when he walked.

Ji Qiang frowned slightly, "Did I buy too many things?" ”

Xia Jingnian scratched Ji Qiang's nose dotingly, "It's not much at all, you buy the whole street back, it's not much." "Ivy

Ji Qiang smiled shyly, and the two walked in the direction of the carriage together, preparing to return to the palace.

was walking, seeing a group of people in front of her, Ji Qiang couldn't control her curiosity and stepped forward to take a look.

I saw a girl in white kneeling in the corner of the wall. It is said that it is a white cloth, but in fact, it is more appropriate to be filial piety, with a straw mark on the head, and a white cloth on the ground, on which four big characters are written with a brush - selling yourself to bury your father.

She cried pear blossoms with rain, very pitiful, and said to the onlookers: "The little girl is Jingya, and her father is seriously ill and died." The family's money was taken to treat my father's illness, but I really didn't have the money to bury my father, and I asked my father and fellow villagers to have pity and give my father a burial place. ”

Most of the people around him are ordinary people, and even if they want to help him, they can't help it.

Although the capital is prosperous, and the princes and ministers all live here, they don't come out much on weekdays, and they are all small maids who come out to buy. Even if someone comes out for a walk, they mostly go to the places where the dignitaries and nobles go to Xinghualou, such a small place, who will come?

Ji Qiang ate the sugar gourd, looked at Jingya who was kneeling on the ground, I have to say, this is still a little beauty, if she buys her, it is not impossible to go home and be a bride. If you say that any dignitary family buys it and goes back to be a maid, I'm afraid that the housewife won't let it, right?

After all, with the appearance of this little girl, if her heart is not right, how can it be good to seduce the master of the family?

Just thinking about it, Jingya opened her mouth again, "The little woman doesn't ask for much, she just wants her father to be buried, and she asks her father to be pitiful!" ”

"Hey." Seeing this, Xia Jingnian couldn't help sighing, and just wanted to take out the silver from his purse, but Jingya actually took two steps on her knees, fell down Xia Jingnian's feet, grabbed his trouser legs, and cried to him: "Please have mercy on me, give my father a decent look." ”

Xia Jingnian was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while.

Mo said that Xia Jing was in the new year, and even Ji Qiang, who was eating sugar gourd next to him, was stunned.

What's going on? The two of them stood here honestly, and they never made a sound, why did they provoke this girl?

In fact, Jingya had already taken a fancy to Xia Jingnian when he appeared. The temperament of gestures can't be covered up even if you wear coarse linen clothes. If you dress up in disguise like this, you must be a noble son.

That's why Xia Jingnian sighed, she knew that this person must feel pity for her background and would definitely help him.

"Childe, please buy me, when I bury my father, I will definitely go to the house to repay you! Be a rough maid for you, chop wood, and cook on the fire! Jingya cried that the pear blossoms brought rain, "I just ask you to give me some scattered silver, let me buy a coffin for my father, and put it into the ......ground as soon as possible."

Ji Qiang on the side couldn't stand it anymore, she ate the sugar gourd in two bites, threw the bamboo stick to the ground, and pushed Jingya away, "I said girl, it's okay for you to sell yourself to bury your father, but don't cry when you see people, okay?" Are you holding my husband's thighs like this to deceive us? ”

"Madame's words made the little woman so frightened, I was just cornered, otherwise who would sell myself? The little girl only saw that her son had an extraordinary bearing and must be a kind-hearted person, so she asked for help. Jingya said that she was pitiful, but she kept holding Xia Jingnian's leg and refused to let go.

Ji Qiang was going to laugh angrily at these words, feeling that they are good bullies, right?

"Just talk, can you let go of my husband's legs? This is my husband! Ji Qiang said that she was about to pull Jing Ya away, Jing Ya hurriedly let go and wiped her tears, "Madame is so ruthless, I just want to ask for help from my son, does Madame also want to speak ill of each other?" ”

Bad language? Ji Qiang thinks that Liu Rou in the palace is enough to reverse right and wrong, but she didn't expect this master to be here?

"This lady, seeing that you are rich, there is no shortage of this bite to buy a servant to cook for you, and you can also let this girl bury her father, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue!" Before Ji Qiang could speak, the people next to him began to gossip.
