Chapter 27: Why Cry When You Can Laugh?
The eldest aunt carried the chickens and ducks, carried the basket, told her daughter to take care of the eggs in the basket, and told Xiao Qiulan to take care of her daughter, and then followed the Wang steward to the town yamen.
The conspicuous rosewood carriage also slowly passed in front of Xiao Qiulan.
There were two cages missing, one basket, and the position was much looser, and Xiao Qiulan put the cat cage next to the egg basket so that the seats could be evenly distributed to those who were crowded and sold.
The aunt's daughter blushed, glanced at Xiao Qiulan who was squatting with her, and gently moved away so as not to be next to her.
Xiao Qiulan smiled dumbly, although she is dressed as a boy, everyone is still a child, should this little girl be so suspicious?
I just wanted to secretly tell her that she was actually a daughter, but I found that someone had brought up her cat cage.
When Xiao Qiulan saw it, it turned out to be the old man who had just coaxed.
This old man is not serious, she looked at him coldly, he was pretending to lift the cat cage high, first looked left and right, shook and shook, and then looked at the cat's belly from under the cage, looking like an expert.
The lazy cat barked a few times in protest: "Cat, cat, cat!" ”
Does the old man want to buy her cat, or does he want to play some tricks to entertain her?
Xiao Qiulan couldn't help but stand up and said angrily: "Grandpa, don't scare my cat!" ”
The old man put down the cat cage and sighed: "The cat is a good cat, but it is just a little brother, and it really shouldn't be such an attitude towards the buyer!" ”
When Xiao Qiulan heard this, she immediately changed her smiling face: "Grandpa, it turns out that you are a person who knows cats, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful!" “
The old man nodded with satisfaction and asked solemnly, "What skills do your cats have?" ”
Xiao Qiulan saw that there was a play, this old man might really be buying a cat.
She cleared her throat and polished her grandfather's words: "This cat looks lazy, but in essence it has a noble bloodline, a rare breed, and is the queen of cats, with first-class mouse catching skills; Looking at its posture, it is by no means delicious and lazy, but rich in trophies and constant meat, so that there is this meat head; In short, this is no ordinary cat! ”
Xiao Qiulan didn't want to say so much, but she saw that the old man was listening very seriously, so she did her best to praise the tabby cat.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old man frowned and said with an unhappy face: "I don't like people to call me grandpa!" ”
Xiao Qiulan couldn't cry or laugh, did this old man buy a cat, or did he look for her for entertainment?
In line with the truth that the customer is God, Xiao Qiulan had to laugh and say, "How about the old uncle?" ”
The old man didn't say yes or no, laughed, and turned the topic to the cat: "Little brother, such a good cat, why don't you keep it for your own use?" ”
This strange old man is really an old naughty boy, and he even talks to the east and west, where is he like buying a cat?
Thinking of this, Xiao Qiulan's tone was joking: "Old uncle, if I say that my family is in a hurry to use money, do you believe it?" ”
The old man shook his head: "I don't believe it, first, this cat is not worth much money, and second, people who are really anxious for money will generally have a sad face." ”
Xiao Qiulan retorted to him: "It's just waiting for the money to be used, and it's not to the point of exhaustion, why should you be sad?" Laughing is a day, crying is a day, why cry if you can laugh? ”
The old man laughed and gave a thumbs up to Xiao Qiulan's remarks: "Little brother is so funny to talk about, I like funny children the most!" At a young age, you can tell these great truths of life, which is more transparent than living a hundred years old! ”
