Even if it made him want to break his head, he couldn't guess that Sheng Qingqing had just earned four taels of silver in the exquisite spice shop.

But Sheng Qingqing didn't plan to tell him the truth. After all, whether it's space or anything else, it's hard to say it to outsiders. Pifu is not guilty, and Huaibi is guilty, Sheng Qingqing still understands.

"Brother Xiaoyu, you think too much, so I didn't get into trouble." Sheng Qingqing said vaguely: "I was just curious to go inside and take a look, but I didn't expect that the guy in the shop was very vicious, I looked at it a few more times and didn't buy it, and they were going to kick me out." ”

This explanation is also reasonable.

Niu Yu glanced at Sheng Qingqing, and saw that her eyes were not red, the clothes on her body were not messy, and she did not look like she was being bullied, so he was also secretly relieved.

But he still had a straight face and said: "It's still a trivial matter to get out of the way, if you accidentally get into trouble, it's not as simple as getting out, I'm afraid that you will have to eat a lawsuit, and then you will be locked up in prison!" ”

This is to intimidate her like a child.

Sheng Qingqing blinked, and promised very cooperatively that she would never climb around without Niu Yu's consent in the future.

Niu Yu was still a little uneasy and wanted to give a few more words of advice.

"Oops, I almost forgot, I'm going to buy meat!" Sheng Qingqing opened his mouth suddenly.

Niu Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Where did you get the money to buy meat?" ”

What is the situation of Sheng Qingqing's family, the people of the entire Sheng family village are almost clear. Not to mention meat, I can't even afford rice, and the three sisters and brothers want to eat a full meal, and they all rely on the villagers to help, and today they suddenly want to buy meat?

"A few days ago, Zhizhi was lucky and dug up an old ginseng in the mountains, I thought about selling it and buying a few catties of meat for Zhizhi and Siming to make up for it." Sheng Qingqing said without changing her face.

That's normal. Sheng Zhizhi is a well-known naughty ghost in the village, who went up to the trees to catch birds at a young age, went down to the river to fish, and often went to the mountains. The mountain behind Shengjia Village is a treasure mountain, on which in addition to some common game and plants, there are often precious medicinal herbs. Some time ago, someone grabbed a wild ginseng from the mountain and sold it for several taels of silver.

Niu Yu did not doubt him, and praised: "Zhizhi, this girl is amazing, she can catch anything in the mountains, I went with my father last time, and I picked some dandelions." Don't talk about wild ginseng, I haven't even seen gastrodia. ”

Sheng Qingqing smiled weakly. What kind of wild ginseng, if Sheng Zhizhi can really pick wild ginseng so easily, their family will not have to be poor and unable to open the pot.

Wild ginseng is such a treasure, in addition to luck, but also needs the eye and experience of the herb picker, otherwise they don't even know the range of their growth, and they can only rely on the blind cat to kill the mouse, and I don't know what year and month to see one.

Although Sheng Siming is young, he is also very familiar with the situation at home, and he can't help but take a deep look at his eldest sister at this time.

Sheng Qingqing met his gaze and blinked.

"Don't talk about it, the first time I came to the market, I forgot to see it, I forgot to sell it when I passed the pharmacy just now, and now I just want to go there." Sheng Qingqing hurriedly said: "If Second Uncle Niu comes out, Brother Xiaoyu, you can talk to Second Uncle and bother him to wait for me." ”

Niu Yu was a little worried, and said, "Why don't I go with you!" ”

"No, no, this herb shop is not far away, and a person of my age can't be lost." Sheng Qingqing hurriedly refused.

Where did she go to any medicinal herb shop, and there was no wild ginseng on her body to sell at all, if she let Niu Yu follow, wouldn't the words just now be exposed?

"Trouble Brother Xiaoyu to take care of Siming for a while, I'll come back when I go."

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Niu Yu's reaction, Sheng Qingqing ran away in a hurry.

Before coming to the butcher's shop, she had been observing the surrounding streets along the way. This observation was not observed in vain, and at this time, slipping away from Niu Yu, Sheng Qingqing, who was turning around, went around to a small alley. But in the eyes of others, I am afraid that they will think that she really entered the medicine shop.

At least in Niu Yu's opinion, this is indeed the case. He also turned his head to Sheng Siming and said to Sheng Siming: "Siming, your eldest sister's hands and feet are also a little neat, just selling a mountain ginseng, it doesn't take much time, what's the hurry." ”

Sheng Siming: "......" He didn't know what to say.

Although he didn't understand why the eldest sister lied, he still endured the truth that he wanted to say and stopped.

Sheng Siming thought for a while and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, can you tell me another story?" ”

But the six-year-old blinks big black eyes, staring at you intently, and there is a well-behaved energy all over his body. No one can refuse such a gaze and a child.

Even Niu Yu, who claimed to be a man with iron bones, couldn't help but soften his voice at this time, "Okay, brother will tell you another one." ”

So when Sheng Qingqing came back from going around the neighborhood several times, she saw her two younger siblings, both honestly sitting on the ox cart, listening to Niu Yu's energetic storytelling.

If you listen closely, it's still a story of gods and ghosts. When Sheng Qingqing approached, Niu Yuzheng said that a scholar was fascinated by the fox spirit, and he was happy and unwilling to take the imperial examination.

"Why are you fascinated by fox spirits, the second sister said that foxes are very smelly." Sheng Siming's voice was soft and glutinous, and he asked softly.

"Hehe, this vixen is not the other vixen. This fascinated the scholar's vixen means...... Oops, who hit me! Niu Yu covered his head and turned his head to lose his temper, but he met a familiar little face, and the anger turned to the clouds, and then there was an inexplicable weakness.

Sheng Qingqing looked at him with a smile, "Brother Xiaoyu, Siming is only six years old, what kind of story are you talking about!" ”

Niu Yu scratched his head weakly and said with a smile: "Hey, didn't you say it in passing, it wasn't intentional, it wasn't intentional." ”

Of course, Sheng Qingqing saw that he didn't mean it, otherwise she wouldn't be so easy to speak!

"Hmph, there's no next time."

Niu Yu nodded hurriedly.

Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming watched from the sidelines, covering their mouths and laughing.

"Where's Second Uncle Niu?" Sheng Qingqing was curious.

Several children were waiting at the door of the butcher shop, and the ox cart was also here, but there was no figure of Second Uncle Niu. Second Uncle Niu is a careful person, if it weren't for the urgency, he would never leave a few children here and leave alone.

Sure enough, I heard Niu Yu say: "My father said that there is something important to do alone, let's wait here for a while." ”
