When she grows to twenty, Qing'e has her own piece of eaves, and a shop under the eaves that can barely be called a home.

She and her brother had been begging for a living earlier, and she had never lived in one place for two years, either hiding from her family or from her creditors. I came to Jiangning County this time because I wanted to start all over again and live decently.

My brother promised her that she would no longer play with people outside, no longer cause trouble, and only earn the money they should earn from now on, wash her hands of gold, and live a stable life.

The elder brother is not his own brother, his name is Zhao Qi, but Qing'e's surname is Li.

The two met when they were young and learned acrobatics, Zhao Qi followed the master to do tricks, and Qing'e lay on the bench and kicked two thin legs to turn the porcelain jar.

The days followed the porcelain jar and turned around with earth-shaking bad news.

The master went to the street to buy wontons for the two children, and somehow provoked the local bullies, and was beaten to death without leaving a word, and the corpses were only seen early the next morning, and the beards were frozen hard, and the two children cried and lost their heads.

Zhao Qi Daqing'e was three years old, and she already had the appearance of a little man at that time, her thin face was full of philistine and obedient, her arms were as thick as her legs, she stood under the broken tiles in a daze, holding her brother's arm, like holding the pillars of the sky and the earth.

Since then, Qing'e has been gambling on the street with her brother, relying on his dazzling hands to cheat thousands of gambling funds to survive.

Within two years, Qing'e also grew up, and her figure was amazingly good, and the two of them clearly ate in a pot and washed her face in a basin, but nourished her to the point that her skin was white and her flesh was tender, and she was looking forward to being amorous, and her red lips and pink face were like delicate flowers shining on water.

Zhao Qi slapped his thigh heartily, and they had a better livelihood.

Qing'e will put on the good clothes that Zhao Qi bought for her, and stand on the riverside and look at the railing. If a rich child takes the bait, she will first chat a few words to roughly find out the origin of the other party, and then talk about it again the next day if the family has a head and a face.

The man was so fascinated that she died of drunkenness in her conversation, and she revealed that she was not celibate, but a married woman.

If the other party is tricked, she will spend some more time maneuvering, and when the time is ripe, she and her brother will jointly act in a big drama of her husband catching rape.

The last wronged boss who was deceived by Qing'e was a somewhat weak nerd, he really wanted to be good with Qing'e, and it was not a taste for Qing'e to deceive him, so he discussed with Zhao Qi to use the deceived money to make a living.

That night, the nerd read poems to Qing'e, and Qing'e urged him to do his business, and when he went up to take off his clothes, he was still blushing, and he was in a hurry to protect himself, "Mrs. Wang, stop it." ”

Qing'e called herself Mrs. Wang at his place, and her husband was a tea merchant. At this time, Jiao Didi glanced at him with disgust, and spread his hand away from his belt, "Don't regret what you said." ”

The nerd saw that her white and delicate fingers were quickly knotted at her waist, firmly, like a dead button, and his eyes quickly chased from her waist to her face.

"I didn't mean that, I saw it too early."

"Earlier, early." Qing'e sneered and touched his sparse beard, "Didn't you never do this with a woman before?" How old is it, your mother will be reluctant to give you a room? ”

"Zhang, Zhang's."

"So what's early? Sooner rather than later. ”

Her hand swam restlessly to his coat belt, seeing that the pair of slender white and tender hands caused him to lose his position, the nerd was not stupid, his eyes were faintly green fire, and he grabbed Qing'e's waist and hugged her to the Luohan bed, but she hit it really deadly, making the man sweat profusely, and he couldn't wait to tear it.

Qing'e took this opportunity to grab the porcelain cup and smashed it to the ground, and with a shocking sound, Zhao Qi kicked the door in, picked up the guy in the room, and was about to correct the nerd on the spot.

"You. Woman! I'll kill him first, and I'll pull you to die with you!" Zhao Qi was already full of rivers and lakes, but at this moment, he bared his teeth and looked ruthless, so frightened that he collapsed on the bed.

Qing'e had already withdrawn and cried on the side, "Xianggong spared his life, I was confused for a while, don't kill his life." ”

The beautiful little lady knelt on the edge of the bed and sobbed, obviously catching a rapist, but there was only one "adulterer" who was disheveled, and the nerd had no time to taste, and the neck collar had been lifted by the thin and knotted Zhao Qi with one hand, and dragged her head out.

Zhao Qi dragged and threatened, "You don't recognize me, I can recognize you, your father is a big landlord in Chao County, and your grandfather is the prefect of Luzhou, I will take you to see the official, and I want your family to lose face because of you, see if you dare to seduce a married woman!" ”

"A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life." The nerd lay on the ground and hugged the table legs, "As long as you don't report to the official, it's okay, anything!" ”

"What did you say?"

"I said it!"

Zhao Qi spread out his rough palms, and looked down at the muddy man on the ground with his legs crossed, "Fifty taels, not a single point less." ”

It was these fifty taels that sent Zhao Qi and Qing'e to Jiangning County, where they shopped down, shopped in front of the store, and sold wine for a living.

However, Zhao Qi is still a good gambler, in order to persuade him to quit gambling, Qing'e promised him that only if he no longer enters and leaves the treasure game, she is willing to marry him, and her husband and children will live with him in peace.

Zhao Qi stopped for two days at first, and then he was about to eat Qing'e to depend on him for the rest of his life, and he had no fear, and secretly gambled on the treasure game twice, Qing'e really turned a blind eye and let him fool around outside.

On this day, Zhao Qi returned home in the evening, the door of the wine shop was half closed, he came in sideways, and put a flattering smile on his face, "Good Qing'e, have you left me food?" ”

Qing'e was sitting behind the square table and checking the accounts, and when she saw him coming back, she dialed three cents over, and her face was not raised, "Buy food to eat, who has time to leave food for you, and I don't know if I come back with a stutter when I go home at this time." ”

Zhao Qi smiled and rubbed his hands, still carrying the wind and dust outside, and hurriedly turned around to install the other half of the door panel, walked towards the warm bean lamp on the table, and found two pieces of broken silver and put them on Qing'e's account book.

The silver was miserable and bright, and Qing'e's eyes were straight, but she didn't answer, frowned and asked, "You won this?" ”

Zhao Qiwu uncovered the oil paper in the wine tank and scooped the wine for himself to drink, "Sort of." You just think I'm winning. ”

"What is this called? Yes yes, no yes no. ”

Qing'e got up and snatched the wine spoon from his hand, put it on the table, and glared at him accusefully, "How many times have I told you, don't gamble anymore, don't bet again, you are also a veteran, do you know that this is a trick of the treasure game?" First tell you to win some money, and then go back and lose to them with interest! ”

Seeing her pouting and angry, Zhao Qi smiled instead, lowered her body and hooked her thin chin, "This is a long story, first ask my brother to pour wine to moisten his throat." ”

Qing'e pinched her waist and sat down on the table, "Drink and drink, you are happy to gamble and drink at home outside." ”

Zhao Qi drank the wine as he wished, sat on the bench and took off his shoes and knocked, poured sand out, and looked up at his sister, "I met a local snake in the treasure bureau in the past few days, and the family is a crude medicine shop, growing up on this street since childhood, and is familiar with many rich children, I don't feed him a few more cards, so he recommended me to accompany the young master of the county family to push pai gow, and the money is rewarded by the young masters." ”

Push pai gow with the young masters? Qing'e was stunned, "It's good not to lose to them on purpose, but what about the reward?" ”

Zhao Qi drank and laughed, and slapped the table, "I send cards to sit in the village, whoever wants to win will win, and I will deceive a few young masters to be happy." ”

Qing'e picked at her fingernails awkwardly, on the one hand, she didn't want her brother to enter and leave the treasure bureau, and on the other hand, she was reluctant to have the money in the young master's pocket.

"Tomorrow?"

The grass on the wall didn't fall as fast as her, and Zhao Qi laughed at her twice, "Go, why don't you go?" You are in the shop, and I will run outside, so that I can earn some money, and I will set up wine with you as soon as possible. ”

"I'm still the same sentence, I'll marry you only if you don't bet one day."

"I know it's not about making more money, and it's not about making a living for a long time."

For a few days, Zhao Qi was outside to accompany the young masters to push pai gow, and it was not until early in the morning that Qing'e heard the movement from his door, day and night were reversed, and the dragon saw the head and the tail, but he took back the real money, and she didn't complain about anything.

Early in the morning, the rooster had just finished crowing, and there was the sound of water in the courtyard, Qing'e was wrapped and pushed open the door, calling Zhao Qi, who had just come back and was washing his face.

"Why are these young masters not accompanied by others? Boiled you like an eagle. ”

Zhao Qi smiled, "I can't slack off last night, the young master of the county master's family brought his classmates and friends, and it's even more amazing, he is the only son of Jiangning Weaving Mansion, surnamed Feng, and he still lives behind this street." ”

"Where? You mean the garden with blue tiles and white walls in the alley? ”

The alley she said was a sandwich alley, just behind their small courtyard, and the alley was facing a corner door of the Feng Mansion, and there were occasional vegetable carts entering and exiting, which was specially for the master of a certain courtyard in the Feng Mansion to eat fresh vegetables.

"Yes, that's it, that's the Feng family, he's really generous." Speaking of this, the eyes of the two lit up together, "Do you know what he rewarded me last night?" ”

Qing'e wrapped the quilt tightly, looking like a white peony early in the morning, looking at Zhao Qi with her eyes.

Zhao Qi kissed her the top of her hair, stuffed a piece of gold and jade and buckled it in the palm of her hand, "Put it away, and my brother will get better for you when I go back." ”

"Hey..."Qing'e still has something unwilling, she has never been so down-to-earth, and the jade pendant is in the pawnshop I don't know how much silver it can exchange, but they have never seen such good materials, even if they want to sell it, they are reluctant.

Qing'e read the peace buckle for a whole day, hid the jade pendant under the kang table, and waited for a busy day, sold a few taels of wine, and dealt with a few men who came to see her color, so she lay down in the quilt like a thief, and took out the jade pendant to play with carefully.

Really good things, even if people who don't understand them hold them in their hands, they know that they have a lot of origins.

The jade body was moist like a piece of tofu, and the heavy pressure hand, and the edge rolled a circle of cloisonné gold thread, such a good thing, I casually rewarded the dealer who sent the card.

I really don't know what kind of extravagant life those rich people live all day long, eating bread and dropping a piece of dregs, they can feed their brothers and sisters to the sky.

As he was thinking about it, he heard someone open the door, and turned his face to see that the pane had not yet cast light. She knew that Zhao Qi would not come back until the rooster crowed, and she was a little flustered all of a sudden, and then thought that it might be her brother, so she immediately put a safety button on her body, walked through the small courtyard with a lamp in her clothes, and went to the shop.

"Who?" Qing'e stood behind the curtain and asked sideways.

The half-curtain only covered her upper body, and she wore a pair of white silk trousers with a crotch and a lilac-colored twig gown, and a pair of embroidered shoes on her feet, and her heels stepped on the uppers.

"Lady, it's me."

It was really Zhao Qi who came back, but he also brought back someone else, so he called her a lady.

Qing'e saw a few pairs of feet through the gap under the curtain. Busy chattering was a few pairs of cloth shoes, both men and women, all of whom circled around the table with high-top gold sheepskin boots, serving everything in detail.

"Who else?"

"Master Cheng of Fengfu, you go to sleep, I'll entertain you."

Feng Fucheng is a young master? It's the young master of the Jiangning Weaving Mansion, right? Qing'e couldn't take her eyes off the boots anymore when she saw them, she held the gown with one hand, pulled the curtain with the other, and quietly looked up at the boots, only to see the light Qiu Bao belt, the jade pendant ring, fine and magnificent.

Further up, a pair of inquiring eyes burst in, and the owner of the boots was looking at her, with his star-bright eyes. His face is like a crown of jade, he is not very old, only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he shows an extraordinary posture, and he is dressed in a crane with an outstanding bearing.

Qing'e was shocked and hurriedly put down the curtain to dodge.

However, Feng Juncheng had already seen her, and he was surprised at a hurried glance that the woman with snowy skin and beautiful appearance was actually the bad wife of the dealer of the treasure bureau.
