At dusk, the noisy and bustling market is also time to rest, and the number of customers is decreasing, and many shops and stalls are hung with foreign signs. There is a curfew in Nanyang City, and the opening hours of shops are clearly stipulated, and the stalls must be closed before the sun sets.

Xi Yao handed the last copper plate in her pocket to the vendor and helped her waist, which was almost straight, "Boss, this is the last kebab to sell." ”

The Fang was packing up the shaved pork bones and preparing to put them in a box to go home to make soup and drink, he turned around and took it, and smiled gratefully: "The little girl really thanks you today, if it weren't for you, I would definitely not be able to sell this meat, and I wouldn't be able to make so much money, and I don't know how long I will be oppressed by the butcher shop opposite, I may not even be able to eat tomorrow, I..."

The more the peddler talked, the more excited he became, and finally he sobbed, two lines of tears flowed on his old face full of vicissitudes of life, and he held Xi Yao's hand tightly, "Thanks to you, my store has made a sign, I don't know how much more I earn than simply selling pork, and in the future, my family's food and clothing will not be a problem, you... You're like my reborn parents!"

Belch... Xiyao was a little embarrassed, a middle-aged uncle pulled her hand and cried silently, and claimed to be her own son, so she didn't want to be such an old son!

She desperately pulled out her purple hand, scratching her head a little embarrassedly, "Oh uncle, it's not as serious as you said, not to mention that I don't work in vain, I will still ask for the one hundred taels of silver." ”

As a modern person, Xiyao certainly understands the importance of wealth, regards money as dung, and does good deeds without leaving a name and money, so she will not do it.

"Oh oh oh, yes! Look at my memory!" the peddler slapped his head, hurriedly turned around and took out two ingots of silver from the box containing the money and stuffed them into Xi Yao's hand, and said with a smile: "Good girl, don't be too little, you have helped the uncle so much, this is all you deserve." Don't worry, if you are hungry for skewers in the future, you will come over, and you will never have to pay for what you eat with me!"

As soon as her fingertips were cold, Xi Yao looked down and saw that what she was stuffing in her hand was two hundred taels of silver, and she felt warm in her heart at the moment.

After all, kebabs are labor-processed ingredients, which naturally make more money than simply selling pork, and buying skewers will give people the illusion that they can eat meat at a very cheap price, which is an excellent choice for business in terms of popularity and cost.

However, if the small store opened for the first time, if you want to continue to operate, you still need more working capital, so the profit obtained today is not much, how can Xiyao open her mouth and take half of the profits of others at once.

As soon as she let go of her hand, she returned a piece of silver, and said solemnly: "You can't be a man of your word without faith, I only take what I deserve." ”

After pushing and shoving a few times, the vendor saw Xiyao's firm attitude, so he didn't stop shoehorning, but he still felt that he couldn't go, so he pointed to other shops that had not yet closed and said, "In this way, you can choose your favorite one from the market, which can be regarded as a thank you gift from your uncle." ”

Xi Yao's eyes lit up, and she remembered the little things that tickled her heart during the day, so she nodded immediately and jumped to the store to choose something.

Time was in a hurry, and she walked around and didn't see her favorite small things, but a small stall with wooden crafts attracted her attention.

Xi Yao took a fancy to the small wooden fish, the simple and old wood, on which the shape of the fish was outlined with smooth lines, as if it was really swimming in the water, and she immediately decided to give this thing to Chu Sheng.

said goodbye to the boss, and after hiding the silver, Xiyao rushed back. At dusk, smoke rises from every house, and the smell of food fills the streets.

She thought, at this time, Mo Ying should also start to make a fire, what kind of surprised expression would Chu Sheng have when he saw that he really earned money with his own strength?

Just thinking about it, she suddenly heard a faint voice calling her name behind her, she frowned, she had never been out of the door, where did she know someone, and when she turned around, she really knew someone.

"Qionglin!" Xi Yao was startled, looking at the delicate face that was gradually becoming clearer, she couldn't believe her eyes, and only when he got closer did she ask: "Isn't there a rule in the palace, and the prince and princess are not allowed to leave the palace at will without a will?"

The latter raised his eyebrows and smiled, and a look of pride jumped on his face, "Who do you think I am, the little palace wall can stop me?"

Ah, right. Only then did Xi Yao remember what he said last time, he was a special case in Tiansheng Palace, and he must have secretly absconded again.

"What do you do every time you escape, God ...... mysterious" Looking at the pavilion he came out of, Xi Yao finally shut up, understanding why he always had to escape.

The pavilion is decorated with flowers and green, the pink color is all over the eyes, there are still a group of flowers and branches of women standing at the door, the smell of rouge gouache can be smelled from afar, the pavilion plaque is impressively printed with three big characters "Meixian Yuan", and that is also the only large store in the market that does not close 24 hours a day...

The corners of Xi Yao's lips hooked, and she looked at Qiong Lin obliquely, "Heh, Second Prince, I really underestimate you..."

Qiong Linjun's face flushed, and he suddenly felt speechless, and excitedly defended: "No, it's not right! You listen to me, it's not what you think, I'm just..."

The more excited she became, the more unclear she became, Xi Yao simply smiled, raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't explain, I understand, man~~~"

The old driver drives!

Qiong Lin was considered to have been convicted of the crime, sighed heavily, and helplessly raised his forehead and said: "You little woman knows what kind of man, I really convinced you." ”

The two slipped away on the side of the street for a while, Xi Yao told Qiong Lin the reason for coming out today, and was about to exchange Chu Sheng for weapons with a hundred taels of silver, but Qiong Lin was a little surprised, and sighed: "I never knew that Chu Sheng, who was indifferent to the core, would also play a game of betting with others." ”

Xi Yao was stunned, she didn't know if it was her own illusion, she found that Qionglin's eyes were slightly faint when she looked at her just now, as if... Somewhat sad.

"It's normal to make a bet. Xi Yao said with a smile. Chu Sheng has a cold temperament, she knows that he is also a human being, and he should always have the emotions that normal humans should have.

Qionglin shook his head, sighed deeply, and looked at the gray sky, as if he was thinking about something far away.

"Not to mention a bet game, I haven't seen him smile seriously in years. The royal relatives and nobles in Nanyang City are basically the same age, I have seen Chu Sheng a few times when he was a child, when he was still thin and small, he always lowered his head and didn't like to talk, and he almost didn't play with us during the imperial banquet, he would only call the elders respectfully, and then look at a place in a daze. ”

Xi Yao couldn't help but be stunned, it was difficult to associate the current Chu Sheng with the child he described in words as not talkative and withdrawn. However, it was a Chu Sheng she had never seen or understood...
