"The moon is bright, the wind is quiet, the leaves cover the window lattice, and the crickets are called Zhengzheng, like the sound ......of strings."

Yun Qixi stood at the door for a long time, watching Concubine Rong walk around the room with a pillow in her arms, humming softly.

Concubine Rong's voice was soft, her singing voice was very emotional, and her eyes were staring at the "child" in her arms, full of love. That's the warm gaze that only a mother can have.

When Concubine Rong inadvertently looked up, she finally saw the person standing at the door, and she paused suddenly, and the "child" in her hand almost fell off.

"What are you doing here?"

The gentleness of the beginning seemed to have never existed, and she looked through the messy hair, her eyes as sharp as knives.

Yun Qixi ignored her anger and walked in step by step, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

"I'm going to see how you're doing?" She said lightly.

Concubine Rong's eyes were full of hatred, and the "child" in her hand was deformed, and she complained.

"You vicious woman, my today is all caused by you, without you, Tian Kun would not have died, without you, I would not have come to this ghost place, are you satisfied? You will get your retribution! ”

"Retribution?" Yun Qixi sneered, "Yes, I will have retribution, I'll wait, but isn't your retribution already coming?" ”

Concubine Rong screamed, and suddenly rushed up to grab her like crazy.

Yun Qixi didn't give her a chance to catch her, grabbed her wrist, threw it hard, and she fell to the ground, and when she landed, the "child" in her hand was still tightly held in her arms.

"Concubine Rong, if you don't know, unless you don't do it, when you do those ugly things behind the emperor's back, you should think that one day there will be an incident."

Concubine Rong sat on the ground, stared at her with red eyes for a long time, and suddenly laughed sadly.

"Princess Jin, what are you proud of? Do you think King Jin's favor to you will last a lifetime? Don't think I don't know your mind, King Jin wants to be the emperor! ”

"Shut up!" Yun Qixi drank sharply.

"Don't think that if you have a dirty mind, everyone else is like you, and if you don't get the emperor's love, you can't see the good of others? The map of the Maze Palace was given to Tian Kun by you? You made him do the humiliation of the orb? ”

Yun Qixi's question became colder and colder, Concubine Rong's face changed, and she stared at her for a while, but she was surprisingly calm.

"It's me, what if you know now? You killed me to avenge her? ”

Yun Qixi smiled coldly and bent down to stare at her.

"No, I've already avenged her, first pickled your concubine, and then killed him, what do you think of this result?"

Concubine Rong glared at her with hatred, her eyes were red, and she gasped for breath.

Yun Qixi sneered contemptuously, "Since you are a couple, then you should have difficulties together?" How? It also made you feel good, so soon you forgot about it? ”

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Concubine Rong covered her ears and screamed.

Yun Qixi stood up straight, stared at Concubine Rong's almost collapsed appearance, and said coldly, "You will have today's fate, and you are completely to blame." ”

After saying that, she walked out quickly, and only took a deep breath when she walked into the courtyard.

Concubine Rong's screams and the sound of the wind and snow gradually became whimpering.

Cry! Call it! The debt owed must be paid slowly after all!

The next day, it was already the twenty-fifth year.

Remembering what Concubine Hui said about choosing a gift for the emperor, Yun Qixi really didn't have any good ideas, and she had never been good at gift-giving, so she took Qiao'er to go shopping on the street, and maybe she would come across some good ideas.

Originally, when she encountered gifts, she would always think of Agarwood Pavilion as soon as she encountered it, but it was almost the end of the year, and Agarwood Pavilion was still closed.

They walked aimlessly down the street, their eyes sweeping over all sorts of goods.

The food and clothes are too casual and insincere, and the expensive ornaments are expensive, but they lack heart, and she is reluctant to be too valuable.

It's hard to find an affordable and innovative gift!

As she was walking, she suddenly saw a group of people in front of her, and everyone outside was crowding in.

"Qiao'er, let's see the excitement."

Yun Qixi pulled Qiao'er and squeezed it in.

At first, they heard many birds, and when they finally squeezed to the front, they saw a lot of bird cages.

"A hundred years together!" A high-pitched voice rang out.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Yun Qixi looked at it, and it turned out that it was a parrot in the hand of the bird dealer who spoke.

The parrot's appearance first made Yun Qixi's eyes shine, the body was green, and the entire head from the neck up was red, shiny and smooth, especially beautiful. If she remembered correctly, it was supposed to be a red peony parrot.

It turned out that the audience on the third and outer three floors here was crowded around just to see the parrot.

"Hey, old man, what else is it going to say? Let it tell us about it? Someone in the crowd suggested to the bird dealer.

The peddler, known as the old hairy man, looked slick and pointed triumphantly at the parrot in his hand.

"This thing has spirituality, and it will learn whatever you teach it, believe it or not?"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and some people didn't believe it.

"Old hairy, you can blow it."

The old man looked at everyone triumphantly, "You don't believe it, do you?" Well, try it yourself. ”

The man who had spoken out loud in disbelief at first was pushed forward, stared at the parrot with eagerness, turned back and winked at the men who had pushed him, and finally asked the old man.

"Shall I try then?"

The old hairy raised his eyebrows confidently, "Just try." ”

The man cleared his throat, approached the parrot, and said, "The old hairy head is a soft egg. ”

The old man was stunned, "You ......"

"The old hairy head is a soft egg." The parrot shrieked and repeated, and even learned a few more tones.

"Hahahaha......" Everyone suddenly leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.

"Old hairy head, look, even your own birds say you're a soft egg, it seems that you're really a soft egg, haha......"

The old hairy man couldn't hold his face a little, and raised his hand, "Go and go, if you want to buy it, pay for the silver, don't make a fool of yourself here." ”

"How much money do you sell this bird?" Someone has probed the price.

The old hairy head stretched out one hand and boasted about the sea.

"If you say the least, it will cost fifty taels."

The onlookers immediately sighed.

"Old hairy, are you robbing someone, fifty taels? Fifty taels can marry a litter of daughters-in-law, fifty taels buy your bird, is there a bird? ”

"Old hairyman, do you really think yours is a golden bird?"

The old man's face changed when he heard this, "Don't be foolish if you can't afford it, I'm waiting for the person who knows the goods." ”

Fifty taels is indeed a price that ordinary people cannot accept. Most people are actually here to see the excitement, so stay on the sidelines.

Yun Qixi touched his chin and crutched Qiao'er with his elbow.

When Qiao'er understood, her brows were almost furrowed, and she whispered, "Princess, it's not worth buying a bird for fifty taels, right?" ”

"That's why you bargained with her."

"Why me?" Qiao'er was very aggrieved.

Yun Qixi coughed lightly and glanced at her, "Do you want me to be a princess of Jin, plus the big boss of Qixi to bargain with people in the market?" ”

This is to catch ducks on the shelves, Qiao'er has a bitter face, there is no way, so she has to whisper.

"Fifty taels is too expensive, isn't it? Can't it be less? ”

The old Maotou looked at Qiao'er's timid appearance, and glanced at Yun Qixi who was standing behind her. Doing business outside, I still have this bit of eyesight, so I smiled, "I know at a glance that the girl is a person who knows the goods, although my parrot is a little more expensive, but it is worth it." ”

As soon as the old man said this, Qiao'er didn't have anything to say. She really doesn't have much experience in talking about business, and it's this kind of business that costs only a few dozen taels, so she doesn't dare to take ideas casually.

So she turned her head to look at Yun Qixi.

Yun Qixi touched his chin and gestured, and Qiao'er swallowed hard, eager to poke his eyes.

If she is not mistaken, the princess compares two fingers, and the price is too much, right? Will you be beaten if you say it?

"How? Girl, how are you thinking about it? My talking parrot is a rarity, and the price is very fair, but there is no such shop in this village. ”

The old man saw that she couldn't make up his mind, and tried to convince her.

Qiao'er took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to look at the old hairy head, and said, "I think there should be a little less." ”

"Then girl, you make a price, how much do you think is appropriate?" The old hairy man smiled patiently.

The onlookers were quiet at the moment, waiting for Qiao'er to speak, and some people couldn't bear to be lonely and silently valuing.

Qiao'er bit her lip, she really couldn't speak.

"Say it, girl, business is not benevolent, the girl has a fancy for my parrot, if the girl's price I can accept, I will sell it to the girl."

The old man had a very good attitude and spoke nicely.

Qiao'er closed her eyes fiercely and slowly stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty taels?" The old hairy man endured it and didn't vomit blood, "Girl, are you kidding?" Twenty taels? ”

Yun Qixi poked Qiao'er from behind, Qiao'er coughed, and said against her will, "Boss, in fact, I think your parrot is worth the price." ”

The old hairy man sneered, sneered again, and put the parrot cage away.

"Girl, I think you either don't know the goods, or you are deliberately tricking me, forget it, I'll wait for the next person who knows the goods."

The business was not negotiated, and Qiao'er looked at Yun Qixi with a weak heart.

Yun Qixi shrugged his shoulders, pulled Qiao'er, and said in a volume that was neither high nor low, "Forget it if you don't sell it, in fact, it's really not cost-effective to buy a bird for a few dozen taels of silver, it's better to eat and drink, or buy yourself good clothes." ”

As she spoke, she pulled Qiao'er and was about to withdraw from the crowd.

"Hey, wait, girl, I see that you really like this bird, and if you look closely, it is really not an ordinary bird, and it is definitely worth the price."

The old hairy man simply brought the bird up to them, and said to the starling, "The girl has a good eye. ”

The parrot immediately repeated, "Girl has a good eye." ”

Someone in the crowd was laughing, but Yun Qixi still clasped his hands, making a look of lack of interest.

When talking about business, we pay attention to tactics, and the more I like it, the more I can't show it.

"Girl, you see, this bird is really smart, but the price that this girl just offered is really a little less, do you think you can add more? I think the girl is also a rich family, and it is not easy for us to do business, and we are counting on selling some silver for the New Year. ”

"Fifty taels, I bought it."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind the crowd.

"
