Chapter 3 Well Water Poisoning Case (3)
Xiaoxiao secretly tugged at Qi Bei's clothes: "Senior brother, look, she's here." Why are you looking in the mirror? Hurry up and say hello. β
Of course, Madame Bailing recognized the Golden Crow Divine Envoy, and saw that he turned around slowly, with a very exaggerated and big smile on his face, and held a small mirror in his hand very nervously, repeatedly rubbing the carefully carved lines on the handle of the mirror, like a restless child grasping candy, and his usual abnormal behavior was actually used to seeing it a few more times.
"Golden Crowβ"
"Call me Qibei. He preemptively corrected.
She nodded: "Qi Bei." β
Just shouting his name is so satisfying, Qi Bei is happy to blossom.
Xiaoxiao's eyes purred, staring at this, at that, and laughing: "Oh, it's too coincidental, it's Mrs. Bailing, I was talking to my senior brother about you, and you appeared, do you say it's a coincidence?"
Xiao Cui wondered, "What are you talking about my wife?"
"Say, say," Xiaoxiao's brain spun fast, "Tomorrow's Hundred Flowers Conference intends to give Lady Bailing the biggest surprise." β
Qi Bei panicked: "Senior sister, don't say it." This is a secret. β
In order to hide her embarrassment, Xiaoxiao hurriedly made a complaining expression: "Doesn't this create a topic for you." β
Madame Bailing really asked curiously, "What surprise?"
"It's-"
Qi Bei shook the mirror in his hand in a panic, and Mrs. Bailing had to take half a step back, so as not to be hit: "Can't say, can't say." β
Xiaoxiao also knew that the first topic she picked out was a bit of a failure, so she still sold it and immediately looked for the next topic: "Mrs. Bailing, it's not a surprise if you say it in advance, you just wait to see my senior brother tomorrow." β
Lady Bailing responded confusedly: "Okay." β
Xiaoxiao picked up the thick bracelet and the thin bracelet and compared them together: "Madame thinks the thin ones look good?"
Mrs. Bailing smiled: "The pale green stone on the bracelet is the most lively and lively girl. The other coarser color is complicated, mainly the color of purple from the east, and the girl wears it significantly old. β
Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and winked hard at Qi Bei, wanting to pull Qi Bei in and chat: "Mrs. Bailing is right, this is fine and good-looking, senior brother?
Qi Bei nervously held the handle of the small mirror, as if the palm-sized mirror was his support, and responded: "Yes, yes." β
The trinkets on the stall are not precious, but the design is very chic, and the workmanship is exquisite, Mrs. Bailing couldn't help but take a few more looks, and also fell in love with the small hand mirror that Qi Bei grabbed in his hand, looking at the way he couldn't put it down, thinking of seeing the hydrangea petals on his head earlier, which should symbolize a certain woman who liked him, so this small hand mirror was his return gift to that woman?
So, Mrs. Bailing said softly: "The first suspicion is that it contains mist, and it turns like a light smoke." Jin Wu - Qi Bei, your vision is good, this mirror is delicate and chic, and it is very good to give it away. β
Qi Bei recalled the two poems that Mrs. Bailing didn't understand very well, anyway, it was to praise the mirror for looking good, right? Sure enough, it was a noble woman from a famous family, and she opened her mouth to say a word of poetry and songs, which was really admirable. The small black mirror didn't seem to be very eye-catching, and he couldn't tell whether the design was good or bad, so he just grabbed a handful of gray stains on his face. Judging by her expression and eyes alone, this mirror must be good.
Xiaoxiao stretched out her finger and poked Qi Bei: "Hurry up." She said the mirror was beautiful. β
Qi Bei got a little bit of it, and randomly stuffed the small mirror into her hand: "Here you go!"
Mrs. Bailing was stunned for a moment, he stuffed the mirror with great strength, and almost stabbed her with the mirror as a weapon, such a panicked demeanor with three points of recklessness and three points of clumsiness, it looked really indecent, but with the strength of innocence, she couldn't help but smile: "I didn't ask you for this mirror." I mean, you have a good eye. β
Qi Bei said humbly: "Then I'll send you." β
Mrs. Bailing shook her head, secretly thinking about how to talk to this person, but she couldn't figure it out: "Seeing that you have chosen this mirror, you must have already chosen a favorite person to give it to, right?
Qi Bei: "Huh?"
Xiaoxiao quickly reacted, and hurriedly explained to Mrs. Bailing for Qi Bei: "Haha, hahaha, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." My brother thought it was fun to pick up this mirror and look at it, but he didn't want to buy it. β
Mrs. Bailing was puzzled: "Or ...... Pick it up and take a look?"
The peddler shouted very appropriately: "Guest officer, buy a mirror for your sweetheart, but you can pay first." β
"Not a sweetheart. This is my wife. Xiao Cui hurriedly came forward to explain. As soon as the peddler saw the dress of the two, he knew that there should be a huge disparity in status and status, and quipped: "Madame is so captivating to the country and the city, who is not moved to see it?" This guest officer has a really good eye, and there is only one side of this inch mirror in the whole Fenglin City, and I will not sell it in the past. Today, I saw that you have a fate with this mirror, alas, I will sell it cheaply, ten taels of silver. β
Xiaoxiao opened her mouth wide and shouted, "Ten taels? This is worth ten taels?
There are more customers that hawkers deal with, and they will specifically figure out people's minds and watch people's prices. Seeing Qi Bei's reluctant look at Mrs. Bailing, looking at Mrs. Bailing's noble clothes, and then listening to her praise the beautiful mirror, he knew that ten taels of silver was not a high price, so he was even more confident, and said: "Girl, what you said is not right, why is the mirror that Mrs. looks at is not worth ten taels? Look at my mirror, it is polished by the best craftsmen in Fenglin City, you look at this pattern, look at the mirror, look at the light reflection, how beautiful. β
Xiaoxiao wants to bargain, on the one hand, she really thinks that the mirror is really not worthwhile, and on the other hand, she is a little selfish, anyway, there is only one money bag, and there are so many broken silver in it, and the senior brother gives Mrs. Bailing a big deal, and the money spent on himself will be less. But for Qi Bei, whatever Mrs. Bailing likes, how can he be too expensive? The whole Fenglin City's unique mirror, ten taels is ten taels, anyway, there are still a lot of silver given by Xiao Shi, and he is very generous at the moment to throw out ten taels of silver, and he is determined to give Mrs. Bailing this inch mirror: "Take it." Seeing this, Xiaoxiao closed her mouth in amusement.
"Okay, thank you for coming!" the peddler succeeded in blackmailing, and proudly accepted the outrageous price of silver.
Mrs. Bailing felt ashamed of it, and hurriedly refused: "Jin-Qibei, wait, I don't need this mirror, you don't need to break the bank." β
Qi Bei said with a smile: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's not expensive." If you like it, it's fine. β
