Chapter 38: The Thief
Seeing Ji Yutong, he was a little when he saw King Jing. With the egg's expression, Pei Zimo pursed his lips, "What's the matter, is it too difficult?" After all, King Jing's identity is extraordinary, and there are so many people around him to protect him, if Miss Ji can't help it"
"Who said it was difficult, just a belt, it depends on me."
Ji Yutong interrupted Pei Zimo's words, as a thief who was praised to the sky, she didn't want to hear such words from others.
In her Ji Yutong's eyes, there is nothing that cannot be stolen!
That's right!
Silently cheering himself up, Ji Yutong walked past Pei Zimo with a calm expression, patted him on the shoulder by the way, and said with a smile.
"Comrade, look at it, it's time for you Ji Ye to show off your skills, don't blink~"
Her tone was very arrogant, Pei Zimo was about to turn her head and persuade her not to be too reckless, and the next moment, Ji Yutong's figure appeared in the crowd below.
If she really has the ability to steal King Jing's belt, Pei Zimo must not believe it, after all, money and purses are easy to touch, but that belt is people's personal belongings, once it is stolen, it must be noticed.
So the most critical place is how Ji Yutong can ensure that he will not be noticed by King Jing after stealing the belt, or come back alive.
He unceremoniously picked up a few dishes that Ji Yutong had ordered before, just like she had before, and watched Ji Yutong shuttle through the crowd with some curiosity while drinking tea and watching a play.
I saw that Ji Yutong didn't know what was going on, and suddenly caused a commotion in the crowd, and then Pei Zimo, who was sitting above and saw the panorama clearly, didn't know what was going on, and after a while, Ji Yutong came back with a proud face.
"Ji, Miss Ji, you, got it?"
Before the peanuts in Pei Zimo's mouth could be chewed, he just opened his mouth and looked at Ji Yutong sitting leisurely opposite him, pinching a peanut with his fingers and throwing it into his mouth and putting a precious belt on the table.
"Oh, see Miss Ben's actions clearly, do our business, don't do anything else, just be bold, I think you are very suitable for me to be my apprentice."
Ji Yutong chewed peanuts, and drank another sip of water before holding his chin and looking at the shocked man in front of him with a smile.
"How? How are you thinking about it now? ”
"Exam, think about it, Miss Ji, why are you so good? I just stared at it and couldn't see how you did it, didn't King Jing notice? ”
He looked at the commotion below, and then at the initiator in front of him, and the shock and adoration in his eyes were completely unconsciously revealed.
Ji Yutong was very satisfied with his reaction, so he took advantage of the fact that no one found out, and took the belt back into his clothes.
After all, King Jing's belt is still quite valuable, and King Jing's prestige among the people is also quite high, if someone sees it, maybe you have to sue them.
"I can teach you all this later, but you have to become our own first."
Putting the silver money of the tea and side dishes on the table, Ji Yutong took the lead in getting up, "Let's go, this place is not suitable for a long time, it will be very embarrassing if someone finds out, and I like this King Jing very much, I have to return this belt to him if I have a chance another day, and he can't know that I stole it." ”
Pei Zimo has been stunned by Ji Yutong's sharp operation, and now he almost listens to what Ji Yutong says, and he follows wherever he goes.
After a while, they returned to the inside of the wall outside the Ning'an Hou Mansion.
"Well, since you are already willing to worship me as a teacher, then I will go to you when we have time in the future and teach you something, but you have to tell me where you live first."
On the way, Pei Zimo was already impassioned, his face was red, and he almost knelt on the ground to worship Ji Yutong as a teacher, and Ji Yutong naturally would not be stingy with these skills.
She wants to accept apprentices, but she may also be infected by the system of this era.
Some things, especially things that can lead to awkward situations, are better not to do everything yourself.
Teach a big apprentice to come out, without involving family background, court, and without involving the rivers and lakes, the country, and many things will be much easier to do in the future.
Of course, Pei Zimo's appetite for her is actually a big reason, I don't know why, Ji Yutong just thinks that if Pei Zimo is so smart and hard-working and willing to learn in the future, he can't be the champion, it will be too condescending.
"I ...... I don't actually have a place to live......
When it came to the issue of accommodation, Pei Zimo touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and his thin face was flushed slightly.
"Let the master smile, I haven't had a home since I can remember, so I've always been looking for random alleys, or dilapidated temple thatched huts and the like."
"Wouldn't you, are you so poor?"
Ji Yutong was a little shocked, she really didn't expect her new apprentice to be so poor, "Aren't you quite good at stealing?" You can rent a house with any money. ”
"No, master, I really don't want to steal people's money, I will take the risk of stealing King Ming's money bag today because I am really desperate, I think King Ming will not be able to live if I lose money once anyway, and I can save more money at a time, so ......"
The thief also has a way, Ji Yutong feels that her new apprentice is more perfect than her, who is a master.
He, in addition to the dream of being a champion Lang, wants to save money to go to the store to read books and jump over the wall to carefully select objects to steal, but he would rather be exposed to the wind and rain every day than steal the money of ordinary people.
"Well, Miss Ben really didn't see the wrong person."
Ji Yutong touched his chin with a sigh, and then took out ten taels of silver and handed it to him.
"Oh, this is Miss Ben as your master's relief for you, you don't have to pay it back, but you are not allowed to use it in reading, hurry up and find a place close to me to live first, the problem of residence, for the teacher to help you solve it when the time comes."
Pei Zimo wanted to return the ten taels of silver to her, but after hearing her words, he remembered that she was so free and happy, so he accepted it with gratitude.
"Master Xie, I'll let you know when I find a temporary place to live."
"Okay."
Ji Yutong really likes to interact with people directly, as long as she believes that the other party is good and worthwhile, she is willing to treat people with her heart.
After Pei Zimo left, Ji Yutong turned back to his yard from the wall three times and divided five by two.
At this time, Ye Qiaolan had already prepared all the meals.
"Hitomi, where did you go again? Such a big person, why do you always like to run out, come and eat, my mother made the braised pork you wanted to eat the most before, and I don't know how it tastes, come and try it? ”
Ye Qiaolan is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, which is what Ji Yutong is most satisfied with her.
After all, with her character, pretending to be the previous Ji Yutong would definitely not be able to pretend, if Ye Qiaolan, a mother, caught her all day long and asked what happened, how did she become like this, where did the money come from, etc., it is estimated that she should have been annoyed to death.
Touching his stomach, thinking of the bowl of noodles that didn't taste at all just now, Ji Yutong smashed his mouth, and immediately ran to the table.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Ji Yutong, who had never eaten her mother's cooking in her two lives combined, now saw this table of not gorgeous but very simple meals, and it felt like no one.
"Come, try it? My mother hasn't done this for a long time, and I don't know if the craft has regressed. ”
The mother and daughter tacitly put aside all the unpleasant and inexplicable that happened before, and the two sat at the table, and Ye Qiaolan beckoned to the two girls again.
"Bang Zhu, Bang Feng, you guys come over and eat together, I made a lot."
Ji Yutong stuffed a piece of braised pork with a rich sauce and a thin piece into his mouth with a satisfied face, and also held his chin and shouted.
"Mom, it's so delicious, you two hurry over and eat together!" This is more homely, don't be restrained, be at ease, be careful of Miss Ben getting angry! ”
Originally, they subconsciously planned to refuse, but as soon as Ji Yutong said this, they were suddenly stunned.
The two looked at each other, and finally sat down together nervously and happily.
"Miss, Madame, it's the first time I've eaten a hot meal when I've grown so big! And this braised pork, Mrs. made it so delicious! Bangzhu is almost happy to death! ”
While eating the bamboo, he was moved to tears of happiness, laughing and crying, it didn't look funny.
As soon as she cried like this, Bangfeng's big little girl also cried.
"Me, me too, Madame's cooking is delicious! I never thought that one day I would be able to eat hot meat and rice. ”
Bang Feng touched his tears, because he was so moved and so delicious, his face was eager to be buried in the bowl.
While eating, she also puffed out her cheeks and thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss!" Thank you ma'am! Bangfeng is your maid in this life, and even if he dies, he will continue to protect you! ”
"Two silly girls, their faces are crying, eat more if it's delicious, when you want to eat it in the future, I'll make it for you to eat."
Ye Qiaolan looked at the three little girls sitting at the table with a smile, the maternal brilliance on her face was like the warm sun, and it was warm and sweet in people's hearts.
Ji Yutong suddenly understood a lot of things that he didn't understand before.
It turns out that family affection is actually like this......
"Mother, your skills are awesome, did you learn it before you got married?"
How can you not eat and chatter?
Ji Yutong never believes in what food is silent, in her opinion, when she eats happily, she has to talk to people at the dinner table.
Especially now she is very curious about the existence of her mother, she wants to know Ye Qiaolan's life, and wants to listen to her mother's story of the past like many children.
Ye Qiaolan touched her head gently, "Yes, if Tong'er wants to learn, my mother can also teach you." ”
"Well, there's no need for this, I don't want to learn to cook, it's so troublesome...... If you still want to eat, come back and eat at my mother's place, hehe. ”
Ji Yutong didn't want to learn anything to cook, she was a person, as soon as she entered the kitchen, she would break pots and pans, or blow up the kitchen, this is a lesson of blood and tears.
In her eyes, as long as she can boil it in the wild and grill it on an iron plate, it is more reliable to leave things like meals to professionals.
Ye Qiaolan didn't expect Ji Yutong to retreat so quickly, and couldn't help but hide her lips and laugh.
"Okay, good, when does Hitomi want to eat, my mother will make it for you, little lazy worm~"
