"Yes, I didn't bring any money, and you're not with me. Fortunately, I was smart enough to open the pearl bracelet on my hand, and there were more than a dozen pearls. But that's not enough, I've only got one pearl left for my money, but there's still a lot to buy. Qian Ruihan said indifferently.

Zihe really wanted to complain about his own young lady, but he heard Qi Gongzi say: "Isn't this me?" Let's go, what Miss Qian wants to buy, let's buy it now." ”

"Okay. Qi Gongzi, let me tell you......" Qian Ruihan excitedly told Qi Gongzi about the delicious and fun she met on the road.

Qi Gongzi looked at the pearl that Qian Ruihan was holding in his hand, and there was a trace of greed in his eyes. It's really a tyrannical thing, and such a string of precious pearl bracelets is just a change of these messy things on your hands. Qi Gongzi thought about Qian Ruihan's stupidity in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face, and walked towards the outside of the restaurant while listening to Qian Ruihan talk about what fun things she saw on the road.

Qi Gongzi accompanied Qian Ruihan around and bought a lot of useless things. Although the things are not too expensive, Qi Gongzi is still a little distressed when he looks at his money bag. His own money has already been squandered by himself, but he is not as rich as Qian Ruihan, so he knew that he should not be so generous just now.

But now Qi Gongzi doesn't have to worry, because under Zihe's repeated reminders, Qian Ruihan can't do it, and he already plans to go back to Qian's house. The reason why he stopped under the restaurant where Li Shishui was eating was because of the mother and daughter in front of him.

The mother and daughter were not very old, the daughter was about five or six years old, and she had been holding the hand of the mother next to her, watching the passers-by pointing at them, unconsciously lowered her head, and hid behind her mother.

This was so because there was a corpse parked next to them, just covered with rags. Next to him stood a wooden sign that read, "Sell women to bury husbands."

Li Shishui saw the mother and daughter at the beginning, and was thinking about going to see it after dinner, and if it was true, he would help them. Now seeing Qian Ruihan as if he wanted to help the mother and daughter, although it was a little far away, Li Shishui held his breath and looked closely, and he could still hear what Qian Ruihan said vaguely.

I only heard Qian Ruihan say: "Zihe, you go and give my pearl to that mother, and let her sell it to that person for burial." As for the rest of the money, let her do some small business, no matter how hard it is, she can't sell her daughter. ”

After speaking, Qian Ruihan took out the last pearl in his arms and handed it to Zihe. Zihe was about to take it, but saw Qi Gongzi stop him: "Why do you need Miss Qian's pearl, I'll just give them some silver, it won't cost much to bury a person." ”

"I want to help the mother and daughter in this matter, how can I still use Qi Gongzi's money? Let's give them my pearls, anyway, there is only one, and it is useless to keep it. Qian Ruihan insisted.

"Yes, this is Miss Qian's kindness, if you use my money, won't it become my kindness?

"Qi Gongzi, I didn't mean that. It's just ......," Qian Ruihan hurriedly explained.

"Haha, I'm joking with Miss Qian. Miss Qian give me the pearls, and I'll give them to the mother and daughter. There are a lot of people over there, and there is a dead person, so it was inconvenient for the maid to go in the past. And I'll give them some more loose money, so it will be better. Qi Gongzi said.

"It's still thoughtful that Qi Gongzi thinks. Qian Ruihan didn't get angry when he saw that Qi Gongzi was just joking with her, and he didn't think much about it, so he handed over the pearl to Qi Gongzi.

After Qi Gongzi got the pearl, he took out the silver money in his wallet, leaving only some scattered silver coins, and then put the pearl into the wallet, and then walked over and gave the wallet to the mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter naturally thanked each other, kowtowed three times to Qi Gongzi, and kowtowed three times to Qian Ruihan, who had not come over in the distance. Then Qi Gongzi accompanied Qian Ruihan and left happily.

When he first heard Qi Gongzi say that he wanted to add some money, Li Shishui felt that Qi Gongzi was right, if he just gave a pearl, whether the pearl was pawned or sold, the process in the middle was troublesome, and there were many uncertainties. Now it would be more appropriate for the mother and daughter to give some money. It seems that this Qi Gongzi is not bad, not like the maid said. But that maid doesn't look like she has no purpose, so what is it like?

Li Shishui was curious for a moment, so he stared at Qi Gongzi. That Qi Gongzi did show the pearls and silver money in his wallet to the mother and daughter, and then handed them over. However, when they took the wallet gratefully, Qi Gongzi secretly took out the pearl in the wallet at the moment when he handed it to them, taking advantage of everyone's inattention.

Qi Gongzi's movements were very secretive, and the mother and daughter and the people around them didn't notice it, let alone Qian Ruihan in the distance. If Li Shishui hadn't been staring at Qi Gongzi, he wouldn't have seen it. Unexpectedly, Qi Gongzi verbally said that he sent the pearl to the mother and daughter, and kindly added some silver, but he didn't expect to secretly take the pearl away.

It seems that the maid feels good, Qi Gongzi is really a sanctimonious person, and he should have another purpose for coming to contact Miss Qian.

However, Li Shishui did not plan to meddle in his affairs.

Qi Gongzi did everything on the bright side, even if the mother and daughter in the back found that the pearl was missing, they would think that they had accidentally lost it. Besides, the money left by Qi Gongzi was enough for them to bury the child's father, and there was still some surplus, so they would definitely not make a noise about the loss of the pearl, let alone think that it was their envy Qi Gongzi who stole the pearl away.

Although his master has a good relationship with the Qian family, there is no need for him to tell Qian Ruihan about this. Qian Ruihan didn't even believe her maid's words, let alone he, a stranger, and he had no evidence.

It doesn't matter who Qi Gongzi is, what is the purpose of contacting Miss Qian, as long as it does not affect his affairs, Li Shishui decided that it is better to have more than one thing, and today he will treat this matter as if he didn't see it.

It's late today, and it's not appropriate to visit Qian's house again, so it's better to find an inn to rest for one night and visit Qian's house tomorrow morning. Li Shishui looked at the sky and couldn't help but think.

In fact, Li Shishui felt that if he went to Qian's house, there must be something unpredictable waiting for him. Therefore, he is always making all kinds of excuses for himself to go to Qian's house late.

Speaking of which, for some reason, the deadline given by the master happened to be the day of Qian Ruihan's birthday. I don't know if it's a coincidence or the master's intention, but he won't really blatantly go to the Qian family until the last day. After all, he has now arrived in Toyama City, and the Qian family can't hide. Since things can't be avoided, stretching out his head is a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife, Li Shishui decided to pass tomorrow morning.

Since it was decided, Li Shishui paid the bill and left, and went directly to the inn to rest.

That night, in a certain room. The owner of the house was sitting there reading a book.

The window of the house opened silently, and then a dark shadow climbed through the window and slowly came behind the owner of the house.

However, the owner of the house was unaware of it and was still looking at the book in his hand.
