Before dawn on the second day, the clerk of the government office came to invite him in person, and Huo Yuncheng went to the government with his own guards.

Banxia was injured, so he didn't let her stay with her anymore.

After Bai Zeqing finished boxing, Banxia sent someone to call her to the second master's courtyard, saying that she wanted to share the results of yesterday's black market.

Banxia threw over a large bag of things she bought and asked her to choose first.

Bai Zeqing was stunned, so many things, she chose?

Bai Zeqing hesitated, but still chose a hairpin with fire coral and golden pearls. First, it is chic and good-looking, and secondly, such goods cannot be bought on the market.

She thanked her sincerely. Banxia waved his hand and handed her the two waist buckles and asked her to take them to Zhou Qian.

Then he picked up a jasper safety buckle with excellent water color and asked her to take it to Nannan.

Bai Zeqing didn't shirk it, and thanked her for the two.

At this time, Banxia happily handed the remaining big bag to Banqing and said, "I'm hurt, you can help me divide it among my sisters." Thank you."

Banqing also took it unceremoniously and went out.

Then, the two of them, who were happily preparing to eat breakfast, were attracted by the open birdcage hanging from the branches outside the window.

Who opened the birdcage this early in the morning?

Speaking of this birdcage -

Neither of them expected that the scorched-tailed red bird had not flown away since it broke the birdcage last night, but had followed her back to Yuanzhou City twice.

It wasn't until the two of them got on Huo Erye's painting boat that the little broken bird flew in from the window and squatted on Bai Zeqing's shoulder, and several people were startled.

Huo Yuncheng frowned when he heard that the two of them had bought a bird on the black market, and told the two to use the cage to close it after they went back, so he didn't say anything more.

When I returned home yesterday, Banxia specially asked the little guy to make a birdcage.

At this point, the cage is open!

The little broken bird was playing in the yard, and flew from the top of the tree to the ground, as if it had not yet become familiar with flying, and fluttered and fell, and then walked with its two paws one after the other, but it did not walk steadily. After walking a few steps, he fluttered and flew to Banxia's arm.

Banxia was so frightened that she jumped up, the bird fell, she quickly reached out and took it before letting go, pointed to the bird walking in the yard and asked Bai Zeqing, "What? This little thing can open the cage! Doctor, little lady, why don't you take it back and raise it? Can't you follow me, what should I do if I disturb the second master?"

"I can't keep it." Bai Zeqing thought to himself: What are you kidding, I can't protect myself now, and I still have a bird? Afraid that the goal is not obvious enough?

So she smiled sweetly at Banxia, "Sister Banxia, the money you paid, I can't raise it, so you should raise it."

Yes, back to square one.

Finally, Banxia Huo Ran got up and said to Bai Zeqing, "I have a way, go!"

He took up the cage and said to the bird, "Come, come in, and take you to a good place."

The bird seemed to understand them, and obediently entered the cage.

The two of them changed carriages and soon entered the camphor shop in Yuanzhou City.

Xiangzhangfang is located in the core and rich area of Yuanzhou City.

The east of Xiangzhangfang is only a few miles away from the black market, and it is jointly protected by all forces in Yuanzhou City, and it is prosperous alone, with a population of up to 10,000.

Xiangzhangfang goes to the east, is the dance pavilion and song platform, the golden lamp is like day. There was a carriage that spent a lot of money last night, and the rich son who was drunk and sleeping rolled across the long street in the early morning.

To the south, the gambling house is noisy, and you can see the people who lost all their money and were thrown out of the gambling house beating their chests and feet.

Bai Zeqing and the two of them walked in a hurry, and only went north.

Fangbei is an old street.

The people who live here go to bed early and get up early, when the dog barks and the cat makes the child cry, and there are already people who start to cook breakfast with smoke curling up.

There are already Xiao Er rubbing his sleepy eyes in the noodle shop and the rouge shop in the silk village on the street, carrying the door panel one by one to prepare to open, and a few half-old wine flags are fluttering in the wind.

The old alleys are cramped and narrow, like cobwebs intertwined. Newcomers to the countryside, without a local to lead the way, will inevitably run into a dead end, and need to grope for a month

, in order to barely get lost.

But Banxia was firm and did not hesitate. Didn't take a wrong step, didn't make a wrong turn.

The morning breeze is cool, and the slate has been polished smooth after wind and rain, reflecting the oblique shadows of two people and one bird in the morning light.

The old street is quiet, there is a shop with lights on, and a dilapidated flag with a big word "dang" on it.

Banxia stopped in front of the store, showing a hint of nostalgia.

Bai Zeqing looked at the four-character door plaque peeling off the paint, and the vaguely recognizable word "pawnshop" looked back at Banxia with some stiffness: "Pawnshop???

Banxia was a little proud: "Yes, pawnshop! Am I not very smart!"

"No, you're not short of money, why are you so familiar with pawnshops?" Bai Zeqing was shocked, this familiarity, I didn't know and thought that this pawnshop was opened by her family.

Banxia glanced at Bai Zeqing with disgust and said, "I wasn't born in the Huo family!"

That's right, too! She is not surnamed Huo. Confused by her lavish shots on the black market.

However, aren't the big pawnshops in Xiangzhangfang all open by the casino?

And, what are you doing at the pawnshop?

Bai Zeqing looked at Banxia, then at the birds, and then at the pawnshop, his expression gradually strange.

The pawnshop was too small, too old, and even a little dilapidated.

In the morning light, the shopkeeper is planning the plate, the guy is fighting flies, and the old cat is dozing.

Walking into the hall, there is an unwritten, inaccurate couplet pasted on the white wall directly opposite.

Shanglian: Who is not a little difficult in life?

Downlink: Money is something outside the body!

Horizontal batch: When you get rich.

The two stood in the hall, and no one even greeted them.

"Come to life!" Banxia beckoned to the guy first, "Be a thing."

"When what?" The old shopkeeper lifted his eyelids and squinted slightly at them.

"This." Banxia slapped the birdcage on the long table with a crisp sound. The old cat napping under the window "Woo" jumped up to the long table and meowed around the birdcage.

The shopkeeper looked at the birdcage, and then at the two of them.

Jiaowei looked at the shopkeeper, and then looked at Bai Zeqing.

Bai Zeqing touched his forehead with his hand and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry" He picked up the birdcage a little embarrassed and walked out.

"Two taels of silver, no counteroffer." The shopkeeper spoke suddenly.

Bai Zeqing was stunned: Really accept it?

"What? It's only two taels? We'll buy ninety-eight taels of the shopkeeper!" Banxia learned to use it and began to play a rare bargaining skill.

The shopkeeper gave a look, and the guy went into the backstage and took out two taels of silver and put them on the long table, with an expression of love or not.

"Forget it, two taels is two taels, it's better than being shocked that the second master was killed." Banxia said and reached out to get the broken silver. She's not short of money either. It's just that I'm afraid of trouble.

At this moment, the scorched bird screamed, like a baby crying and like a young phoenix crying.

Frightened, the old cat's hair stood on end, and he jumped to the beam of the room with lightning speed, and the cat's tail hooked the oil lamp on the counter that had not yet been extinguished.

At the same time, the birdcage and the long table were instantly ignited by the flames, and the fire grew as soon as the wind blew and burned to the roof.

"Ouch, it's gone!" The young man woke up instantly, grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it out, but it was a drop in the bucket, and the fire was even more intense.

"Ahh Bai Zeqing was dumbfounded for a moment, grabbed Banxia and ran. She didn't want to be taken into the yamen by the officers and soldiers again, and the ash at the bottom of the pot was not something she had at hand.

"Eh," Banxia didn't get the silver, so he picked up the birdcage and ran, and when he ran out of the alley, he threw the burning birdcage to the side and smashed it to pieces, and the bird fluttered its wings and flew to Bai Zeqing's shoulder.

Bai Zeqing looked up to the sky and sighed: It's all fate.
