Volume 1 Bright War and Conspiracy Chapter 41 Doing everything to make a living
Ye Er respectfully accepted the portrait, but she was bitter in her heart, just this portrait, it is better to have it than not to have it. Looking at the eldest lady again, she was already happy to comb her makeup in the mirror, how dare Ye Er spoil the eldest lady's interest, so she had to go to the imperial city to try her luck first.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the morning breeze was a little cool and a little deserted.
Perhaps because of the imminent rain, the original crowded imperial city was surprisingly quiet, and I occasionally saw a few passers-by, all of whom hung their heads and came and went in a hurry. Ye Er took the portrait and asked, "Do you know her?" Her name is Zhifan, she has been holding a child, I have something to do with her, I have something to give her......"
When passers-by saw this portrait, they would look her up and down with a strange look, and then shake their heads and say "I don't know", and even worse, they would unceremoniously ask, "Are you sick?" ”
Ye'er ran profusely and was so busy that she couldn't find it. However, what she didn't know was that in the small alley not far away, there was a sneaky figure staring at her, and this person was the fan she was looking for.
From yesterday afternoon to the early morning of today, the fan has been staying in the peach forest, waiting for the return of Guan Shutao. During this period, she felt that it was time to feed the little baby, so she chose a small puddle nearby, tore up the cold steamed buns and threw them all in, and then scooped them up and fed them to Boyuan.
But where is this feeding, it is clearly murder!
Bo Yuan was reluctant to open his mouth, and Ruoli also swore to resist on the side. Zhifan felt that she had fed the dog with kindness, and she had no money on her, so she would rather be hungry herself, and leave the remaining two steamed buns for dinner. Afraid that he would choke, he soaked it in water and then fed it to him, how could he think that he would still pick and choose and dislike it, really think that he is still the prince of the heavenly realm?
The fan committee was a little angry, so he put the steamed bread paste into his mouth, the steamed bread paste was soaked thin and soft, and there was a smell of water, it was hard to swallow, and it was no wonder that the little thing was reluctant to open his mouth. In desperation, Zhifan could only persuade him to endure first, and when Guan Shutao sent the money, she would take him to eat delicious food.
However, after waiting all night, Guan Shutao still did not show up, and felt that Guan Shutao might have been stumped by something, or he was put under house arrest by Dugu Hao, in short, it was impossible for Guan Shutao to send her money.
If no one sends money, how can we solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future?
Zhifan thought about it, and then took Bo Yuan to the imperial city, and used her only three copper plates to let the street vendors sell them and give her a bowl of porridge.
This time, Bo Yuan was happy to eat, but he was worried about the fan, after all, it was too difficult to make a living in mortal dust with a child, and the impatient eyes of the peddler were similar to those who asked for food.
was having a headache, and suddenly found that someone was inquiring about her whereabouts, so I instinctively thought that the woman was the enemy Liaoyuan Shenjun or the lackey of the Stygian Night, after all, the two of them had been born for more than half a month, and there was always a time when they couldn't hold back.
Holding a fan and going around the small alley, I wanted to quietly follow the other party and knock the other party unconscious, and then find a way to ask who her master is, and rob another fortune by the way. How did she know that Bo Yuan, who was not cleaned up, actually reminded her at the critical moment to 'release the water', and reluctantly lowered his voice and ordered: "Don't make a sound, hold it first." ”
Ye'er heard the baby's cry, so she followed the direction of the sound and found it into the small alley, but after looking around for a long time, she didn't see the crying baby. She shook her head, thinking that she was too busy and had auditory hallucinations, so she simply stopped looking for it and walked to another street.
It wasn't until the other party's footsteps were getting farther and farther away that the fan party poked his head out from behind the haystack without hurrying, and while waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince's 'release of water', he said: "Who sent that little girl, who actually swaggered me all the way?" ”
Seeing that it was about to rain, but there was no place to stay with the fan, she stared at the vendors on the street who were anxious to close the stalls, and had an idea in her heart, so she took out a mysterious twist from the treasure bag, ran to a stall selling fruit with a smile, and pretended to be mysterious: "Uncle, you see that it is about to rain this day, at your speed, is it too late to pack up your things?" ”
"I'm a small business, I can't afford to raise idlers, you hurry up and stay, I'm busy." The peddler was busy filling the fruit into the barrel, and did not lift his head, and did not bother to deal with her.
"I don't need you to raise it, it's just that I have a good thing to sell to you, you see, this thing is called Xuanji Twist, you just have to think about your home in your heart, and then twist this mechanism and throw it on the ground, you can even bring people home with fruits." Holding the fan and playing with the mystery, the demonstration is colorful.
"Go, go, you're not bothering me here, I've packed up my things and gone home now." The vendor waved her away, looking impatient.
Zhifan thought about it, then looked at the other vendors who were busy around, and said: "Uncle, if not, you are a businessman, and I am also doing business for the first time, so I will give you free of charge." You take it up to your little stall, think about your home, and throw it on the ground to try, and if you come home, come and help me preach to them, how about it? She raised her hand and pointed to the surrounding vendors, smiling very sincerely.
"Hey, who dares to ask for things that don't want money, who knows what kind of heart you have?" The peddler hesitated for a moment, then shook his head in refusal. It didn't work, and if it was really useful, and it didn't send him home, but somewhere else unknown to the ghost, then he'd be a big loser.
The executive fan committee was really angry, puffing out his cheeks, and he couldn't answer the conversation for half a while, thinking: How can this mortal be more shrewd than demons, Guan Shutao is so easy to deceive, why can't he live or die?
The fan didn't believe in this evil, so he asked other vendors according to the gourd painting, but no one was willing to try. Just when she was not interested, and was about to take the Xuanji Twist to the Yuelao Temple to avoid the upcoming heavy rain, someone suddenly pulled her sleeve and said, "Girl, I forgot to bring money when I went out, can you borrow it from me first, and then pay you when I get the money?" ”
With a smile in her eyes, she knew that the person who spoke was Mu Chen Mu Gongzi who had taken her to the Yuelao Temple for a while, and her impression of Mu Chen was still good, and she felt that he was dressed in white, warm as jade, and it was pleasing to the eye.
But the two of them met twice, both when the fan was at its most depressed, and at this time the fan really hated to find a crack in the ground and hide himself. Unexpectedly, Mu Chen didn't seem to recognize her, and said with a smile: "Girl, what do you think?" ”
Holding the fan was a little hesitant, but a middle-aged woman who was carrying the burden of selling tofu didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and said in a loud voice: "This son, the imperial city has not been peaceful recently, I see that this girl is suspicious, you must not be confused by her appearance."
"I'll send you, I don't owe you any money." As soon as he heard this, the fan immediately twisted the mystery into Mu Chen's hand angrily, and then glared at the woman viciously.
But the woman knew each other, and took up her burden, and slipped away.
Holding the fan and raising his legs to leave, Mu Chen stopped in front of her with his crossed arm: "Girl, this can't be helped, if you are not related to you, how can you take your things for nothing." ”
Holding a fan doesn't think that a cultivator will be so forgetful, let alone that his appearance is easy to be forgotten, so he wants to see if he has bad intentions from Mu Chen's eyes?
But Mu Chen's clear eyes only had her shallow shadow, and there was no trace of deception at all, perhaps, he really forgot about himself.
It's good to save yourself from pretending. The fan paused, then stretched out a small hand as white as jade, and smiled sheepishly: "Okay, since you don't want to take it for nothing, then mortgage the valuable things on your body to me." ”
Mu Chen fumbled around the cuffs on his chest for a while, and finally took off the jade ring on his ring finger and handed it to her, and said, "This jade ring is very important to me, you must keep it properly, and when I get the money, you can return it to me." It's raining soon, there's a restaurant over there, you can go there and wait for me! ”
Holding the fan and holding the jade ring, he looked in the direction of his finger, only to know that the other party was referring to Tianxiang Mansion, that is, the place where Guan Shutao ate a hundred taels of silver for a meal.
Go to Tianxiang Mansion and wait for others, in case Mu Chen is gone, he can't afford to pay for the meal, and he can also use the jade ring to pay off the debt, but this is inevitably too cheap The proprietress of Tianxiang Mansion. Besides, if Mu Chen had a whim one day and came to get the jade ring back, and she didn't, it would be a little too much to say.
After hesitating for a moment, the fan took out a mysterious machine from the treasure bag and twisted it into Mu Chen's hand, and explained: "You also take this, go and go back quickly, I will wait for you here." ”
Mu Chen smiled and thanked him, then activated the mechanism on the Xuanji twist, threw it to the ground, and with the wolf smoke rising from the ground, his figure also disappeared from everyone's sight.
The passers-by were first startled, and then in an uproar, and they talked about the strange things that had turned into living people, and some of the vendors who knew about it explained to them in detail what had happened, and many people who were willing to stay and watch, because they were also curious about whether the copper ball, which was called the mysterious twist, was really a hidden mystery. If it does, then you can earn it when you buy it, and it is much more comfortable to go out with this thing than to travel a long way.
The sky was gloomy, but the heavy rain did not mean to fall, squatting in place with a fan, bored and playing with the baby's fingers.
This is the tacit understanding between the two of them day and night, as long as she nods her index finger, Bo Yuan will clench his fist, stretch out his index finger as much as possible to touch her, she laughs, he will also laugh with her.
The two of them gradually found their own fun in this simple and childish game, and every time Bo Yuan giggled, the fan would be extremely happy and proud, after all, in her eyes, this joy was not the deep love of licking calves?
A light cough suddenly came from behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Mu Chen staring at the little baby with a displeased face. Holding the fan subconsciously bounced up and got up, but after squatting for too long and getting up too quickly, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
When he almost planted his forehead back, Mu Chen gave her a hand in time and said with concern: "Are you okay?" ”
