The façade of the lotus mill is not large, and it is a little behind a few shops at the west end of the street, and it is not easy to find it along the street.

Although the tailoring workshop is small, it is very famous in Shouzhou City, whether it is a high-ranking official or a common person, it likes to tailor here, and the business is excellent, because there is a pair of tailoring and tailoring skillful hands.

The owner of the tailor was a forty-year-old woman with a face as white as rice paper, and the reason why she described it so was because there were some turtle lines hidden in the white, and if you splashed some ink, the white face could immediately be wet and stained into a faint painting.

"Your tailoring work is perfect, the stitches are meticulous, frank and rhyme, who else in the whole Shouzhou City can compare to your summer lotus?"

"If you really listen to what you say, you must have something to ask me for. Xia Hehua, the owner of the tailor, squinted her eyes and said, she was doing needlework in her hands, but whenever someone came to ask for something, she would definitely praise her first, which has become a rule.

"Do you recognize this?" said Akibafei, handing over the collar.

"There's nothing you don't recognize in the work you do. Xia Lotus only glanced at it and said.

"Remember who this is for?"

"There are so many people in the city, so much work, I don't care if I do it, how can I remember it. Xia Lotus smiled, still immersed in needlework.

He Yiliu and Qiu Yefei glanced at each other, and He Yiliu suddenly asked, "Are Zhao Gongzi's clothes also made by you?"

Xia Lotus raised her head, looked at He Yiliu, and said with a smile: "Even his father's clothes are made by me." ”

"Who is his father?" asked Akiba.

"His father's name is Zhao Zhenshan, the richest businessman in the city, although he is a bad person, but he is my customer. Although Xia Lotus was an understatement, a trace of fleeting helplessness flashed in her eyes.

He Yiliu smiled: "Why is Zhao Zhenshan and others broken?"

"Bad is bad, the opposite of good. Xia Lotus buried herself in needlework again.

At this time, Qiu Yefei suddenly pushed He Yiliu and pushed He Yiliu to stumble.

"There are scorpions here!" said Akiba as she stared at the ground.

He Yiliu looked at the ground and saw a half-palm-long scorpion at his feet, black and yellow, full of poison.

"Don't step on it! That's my girl's pet. Xia Lotus hurriedly said, for fear that He Yiliu would trample on it.

It's strange, I've heard of raising dogs and cats as pets, but I've never heard of raising poisonous scorpions as pets, and it's still a girl's raising.

I saw Xia Lotus put down the work in her hand, bent down to pick up the scorpion on the ground, and was not afraid of it, and said to the scorpion cordially while picking it up: "I ran away blindly, I must be hungry." It's strange to say that the scorpion is obedient and obedient to Xia Lotus, as if Xia Lotus is its own mother.

"Mother, I'm hungry!"

With a coquettish call, a girl with a flowery face and moon appearance walked in from outside.

He Yiliu and Autumn Leaf Fei took a look, isn't this the girl on the edge of the cockfighting platform.

The girl thought that He Yiliu and Qiu Yefei were customers who came to tailor, so she ignored it, picked up a bowl of water on the table and drank it all, and then wiped her mouth with her delicate hands, and saw the scorpion in Xia Hehua's hand, hurriedly grabbed it, pointed at the head of the scorpion with her delicate hand, and said, "It's naughty again, punish you for starving for a meal!" The scorpion seemed to be very sensible, and did not move in her palm.

"Mother, I helped Hu San win fifty taels of silver today. Hee-hee!"

The girl looks better when she laughs.

"Who is so unlucky to meet such a bad star as you. Xia Lotus complained.

"It's Zhao Gongzi, anyway, he has a lot of money, let him kill his arrogance with some blood. The girl hooked Xia Lotus's arm and shook it, she couldn't do work, and said mysteriously: "Mother, Hu San's chicken is really weak, if I hadn't secretly fed it a scorpion, I wouldn't have been able to fight Zhao Gongzi's chicken at all." ”

"It turns out that you are secretly playing tricks. Xia Lotus said.

"It was Zhao Gongzi who drugged the chicken first, and he was the one who played the trick first, and this girl really couldn't stand it so she helped Hu San. ”

"Biwei, a girl's family is not allowed to cause trouble casually in the future, especially don't provoke Zhao Gongzi, do you hear?" Xia Lotus looked a little angry.

"Mother, I can't get used to Zhao Gongzi's virtue anyway, next time he wants to be arrogant again, I will make trouble with him again and let him know how powerful this girl is. Hee-hee!"

Xia Lotus glanced at her, poked Biwei's head with her finger, and said helplessly: "You, don't make trouble for me!"

The two of them talked to themselves on the side, completely ignoring the existence of Ha Yiliu and Autumn Leaf Fei.

He Yiliu and Qiu Yefei looked at each other and smiled, no wonder Hu San's chicken suddenly exploded, even Zhao Gongzi pecked, presumably when this Biwei girl stroked the chicken, she fed the scorpion in an extremely covert way, and after the chicken ate the scorpion, the toxicity immediately attacked in the body, and all the potential was fully stimulated to win.

I really can't imagine that a girl with a beautiful face and moon appearance is a skillful hand in poisoning.

"Biwei, my mother has a lot of work today, it's not time to cook, I know you're hungry, you go to the street to buy something to eat first, and when your mother finishes the work in hand, she will definitely cook your favorite sweet potato porridge for you to eat." ”

Xia Lotus lovingly gave Biwei some broken money, but Biwei didn't say anything, and went out to buy something to eat as soon as she turned her head.

Although Biwei is seventeen or eighteen years old, after all, she is still a child with her mother's wings.

He Yiliu suddenly thought of his life experience, thought of his deceased parents, and thought of his current lonely career in the rivers and lakes, and couldn't help but feel that Biwei was ten or a hundred times happier than herself.

There are a lot of delicacies in Shouzhou city, among which the most famous snack is called the big rescue, it is a kind of oil cake, the shape is flat and round, the color is milky white, the food is crispy, oily but not greasy, it is said that this cake saved the life of Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Emperor, so it is the big rescue.

Biwei paid, took the oil cake and took a big bite, the oil cake was still hot, making her small mouth close to each other, really looking hungry.

"The witch is biting the cake here!

Bi Wei was startled, looked up and saw the fat man and the thin man next to Zhao Gongzi running towards him, and he did not run away at the moment, but continued to gnaw on the oil cake one bite after another, stuffing his small mouth into a bulging mouth, like a flour steamed bun, and when the fat man and the thin man ran closer, he raised his hand to smash the leftover oil cake at them, and then circled around the fried oil cake stall with them.

"It's fun, it's fun! you've got the ability to come and catch me!" Biwei said defiantly.

Biwei was dexterous, and the fat man and the thin man couldn't catch her after a few turns, so they grabbed her separately from both sides, and they were all deftly dodged by Biwei, and they didn't even touch their clothes.

The fat man said: "If you have the ability, step on the uncle." ”

Biwei said disgustedly: "Stepping on you is like stepping on feces, and it will dirty this girl's boots." ”

The thin man said: "Stinky girl, don't be flamboyant, you have to go with us obediently today and make amends to my son-in-law in person, otherwise, you will look good!"

Biwei stood behind the fried pancake master and scolded: "What a broken boy in your family, he can't afford to lose, and he is ashamed to death in the city, the Zhao family has raised him for twenty years and is such a thing that is not a thing, and he still has the face to ask this girl to make amends, what a shame!"

The fat man patted his ass and stood up and said angrily: "Demon girl, you dare to insult the Zhao family......! Oops!" He suddenly screamed inexplicably, and hurriedly put his palm in front of his eyes to take a look, the palm of his hand was red and swollen, and his face suddenly twisted into a twisted shape from pain.

On the ground where he had been sitting, a scorpion was sliding away, and when it reached Biwei's feet, it was motionless.

Seeing this scene, the thin man understood: "It's really a demon girl, not only a demon, but also a poisonous scorpion, really vicious, I can't catch you if I don't believe it today!" After finishing speaking, he kicked over the big stove of fried oil cakes.

The pot shattered, the oil spilled, and the oil cake rolled to the ground.

"Oh hey, please go elsewhere and make trouble, I'm a small business!" the pancake master was heartbroken.

Suddenly. An unhurried, very weak female voice came from the street:

"Isn't this a fat man and a thin man, how can they fight in the streets? ”

In the middle of the street, at some point, there was a tightly covered sedan chair, and two porters stood aside, extremely short and muscular, and at first glance they were professional porters, and the female voice came from the sedan chair.

In this small town, the person who can sit in a sedan chair must be an extraordinary character.

Seeing the sedan chair and hearing the voice, the fat man and the thin man hurriedly came to the front, and the thin man said respectfully through the sedan curtain: "Mrs. Qiyu, the little ones are ordered by the prince to take people here." ”

The female voice said, "Take someone, take whom?"

The thin man said: "It's a little demon girl, she not only hurt the son, but also the fat man." ”

The female voice sighed softly in the sedan chair: "Presumably, you must have provoked the dissatisfaction of other girls, so you made such a fuss." After a pause, he said, "Does it matter if the son is serious, is the injury serious?"

The thin man said: "The doctor has already seen that there is a small injury on the skin, and there is no major problem, but the fat man was stung by the demon girl with a scorpion just now, and his palm was highly poisoned." ”

The female voice in the sedan chair said: "Then don't hurry up and go back with me to apply medicine and detoxify." After a pause, he said, "When you go back, you two must tell me the truth about this before and after, do you hear?" ”

"Yes!"

The sedan chair was restarted, and the two strong foot pickers crunched the sedan chair up, and when passing by the fried oil cake stall, the side curtain of the sedan chair suddenly opened upward, and a middle-aged woman's face poked out from it, the face was white and delicate, and the maintenance was excellent, but she glanced at Biwei curiously, and refused to retract back into the sedan chair.

The sedan chair traveled all the way east, and that face kept looking west.

"Phew!"

Bi Wei spat disdainfully at the sedan chair and people who were going away.
