Chapter 163
"If I don't accept the role, how will he continue singing?" Qin Huan touched her chin. This was a pose she had learned from others. Whether it was realistic or not was not the question at hand. Anyway, it had to be impressive. As for the peach blossom calamity, it was not like she had never seen it before. Everyone in the Qin family encountered it at least once a year, and even the closest confidants would encounter it once or twice. She was used to it.
"I don't know about that. There are many styles of scammers." The young Taoist priest adheres to the principle of using fists to reason. When he encounters a scammer, he knocks him down directly and never bothers to categorize them.
"Oh, forget it. I don't want to see him anymore. Let's just get rid of him." Qin Huan shook his head. He placed his right hand on the jade bracelet on his left wrist, twisted it gently, and then turned it again. Zhuangzi's expulsion formation was activated on the spot, and the man who had been sitting on the ground pretending to be heartbroken was instantly thrown out.
Qin Huan: I do have curiosity, but in order to prevent myself from being killed by curiosity, I endure it!
脑袋一晕被扔出十几里地的男子:不是，这就把我扔出来了？不先听我讲个感人的爱情故事吗……卧槽，你们是谁？为什么要套麻袋揍我
The Qin family servant who followed the expulsion formation to clean up the mess said: "Are you the human trafficker who made us unable to go home for dinner on time? I left in a hurry today and didn't bring a pot with me, so I can't cook yellow rice. I'll just beat you up and then send you to the mines."
While the man was being beaten, Zhen Baohua had already returned to the ghost market via the teleportation array. He threw his clothes into the furnace to burn, brushed himself with pomelo leaves and put on new clothes. Zhen Baohua went to the table, picked up a brush, wrote a blacklist, and walked out the door in a rage, personally posting the blacklist outside the store.
Zhen Baohua: "Dear brothers and sisters, elders and fellow villagers, I'm updating my customer blacklist! This person and his entire family are forbidden from setting foot in my Baohuazhai! I won't do business with them, no matter how much money I make! Not!!"
After hearing what Zhen Baohua said, the passing ghosts, both new and old, curiously leaned over to examine the names and corresponding portraits on the blacklist. Zhen Baohua was well-known in the ghost market for his good temper, and the calming incense in Baohuazhai could also soothe the moods of his guests, so...
"It's this guy who pissed off Shopkeeper Zhen so much that he doesn't even want to do business with his whole family anymore." An old ghost looked up and down at the portrait critically: What kind of beast could make such a good-tempered shopkeeper so angry?
"Brother, what does this symbol mean?"
"Which one? This is the symbol created by Shopkeeper Zhen himself, used to mark human traffickers...human traffickers!" Lao Gui's voice instantly rose octaves: No wonder he can't do business, it turns out he's the damn human traffickers!
还在挨揍的某男子:我只是爱上了一个不爱我的人……
The Qin family servant who was sweating from beating people: I have beaten so many beasts, but your excuse is the most disgusting!
Qin Huan didn't know what was going on in the ghost market, but she received a thank-you gift from Zhen Baohua - a talisman that was sent to the manor by the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, and it was a limited edition signed by Yama Luo.
"Is my brother here?" Qin Huan handed the amulet to the young Taoist priest for inspection.
"The young master is outside the manor." Ying'er saw that the autumn wind was getting stronger and quickly put a cloak on Qin Huan.
"I knew it...Brother! How was my performance this time?" Qin Huan took the amulet back from the young Taoist priest and walked out refreshed: It feels good to throw away the dirty things, and I feel refreshed all over.
Qin Guan, who was waiting outside, saw his sister coming over. He raised his hand to touch her head, and his eyes drifted to the attic in the distance: "There is basically no problem, but next time..."
"Don't come to the show in person next time," Qin Huan said reluctantly: second-hand gossip is not as interesting as first-hand gossip!
Qin Guan patted her head in annoyance. "Now that you know, don't make the same mistake next time." What's the point of having so many retainers? Just to show them off? The gossip at home alone is enough to give you a headache, and you have to come to the farm to read it, and you only brought three people with you. What nonsense!
"Okay, okay, I got it." Qin Huan waved her hand, turned around, picked up her skirt and ran away: "I remember, but I will dare to do it again next time! At most, remember to bring more people with you next time."
"Slow down, the carriage is over here!" Qin Guan looked at his sister's back and shook his head. He waved to his subordinate and asked him to go to the next farm and tell the guy watching the show with a telescope in the attic to put it away. There was a tacit understanding of giving orders by eye contact, but in order to ensure the accuracy of the order, Qin Guan chose to speak.
Someone who put down the telescope and was about to evacuate but was caught red-handed:...Brother Qin is getting more and more rude in his words, sister complex is really scary.
After confirming that the servants were dealing with the expelled man, Qin Huan and his brother boarded the carriage, ready to return home to give the amulet to their mother. As the sky darkened, every household began to cook. The aroma of food wafting from the road whetted Qin Huan's appetite, and he had already compiled a long menu before returning home. With Qin Guan around, Ying'er didn't need to worry about Qin Huan's safety. She immediately used her Qinggong skills to take the menu and returned home early. When Qin Huan returned home, he could eat whatever he wanted.
Ordinary people would have to consider the quantity of food and their own appetite, but Qin Huan didn't have to consider these things at all. If the food was not finished, the maids would eat it, and if the maids could not finish it, the servants would eat it. Sometimes, even the leftover bones would be taken away by others, saying that they were taking them home to feed the dogs.
No one ever asked whether they had a dog at home. After all, they were unwanted things, and no one would record the bones in the account book.
Meanwhile, Bei Qiao, who hadn't followed Qin Huan to the farm, returned to her own courtyard. She didn't stay in the house for long before leaving again. She had just opened the forum and found a private message from Yu Qian asking for help.
Following the address Yu Qian had sent her, Bei Qiao found a teahouse and stood at the doorway, looking in. Yu Qian, who had sent her a private message, was sitting alone at a table by the door, drinking tea and mumbling to herself. From her expression, it looked like she was cursing someone, and the cursing was quite fierce.
"I'm here... You don't look like you're in any trouble." Bei Qiao took off his mask and changed into casual clothes after going out. He flicked the hem of his turquoise robe and sat on the bench opposite Yu Qian. He sent away the waiter who came to greet the customers with a few words: "It's getting dark, what do you want me to do?" Shouldn't he log off and eat at this time?
"Qiao Qiao, what do you think I look like?" Yu Qian held up the empty teacup and tilted her head as she answered the question.
Bei Qiao did not answer: "Get to the point." Time is precious, don't try to imitate others by adding too many words.
"Okay, the point is... don't I look like an adult?" Amid the passionate commentary of the storyteller in the teahouse, Yu Qian put down her teacup and angrily slapped the table: "I just thought you looked handsome in..., so I thought of changing into men's clothes and experiencing the feeling of being handsome. As a result, they treated me as a middle school girl who ran away from home and said they would report me to the police and send me back home!" It was true that she was angry, but she couldn't slam the table too hard. If she broke it, she would have to pay for it. It was not worth losing her temper.
"Oh?" Bei Qiao took in Yu Qian's current outfit. Her face was long, and in real life, she could even play an adult male role in a cosplay role. However, her features weren't strong enough, and even thickening her eyebrows wouldn't change much. Add to that her short stature, her soft voice, and her complete lack of facial control. These factors, combined with the slightly oversized men's clothing, gave her the impression of a child wearing adult clothes.
"You really don't look like an adult, but being handsome isn't exclusive to men." There are short adults, but Yu Qian's face is rather childish, and her eyes have a hint of clear stupidity, which makes her look particularly small.
"I know, but I don't think so." Yu Qian rubbed her face in frustration, glanced at the table in front of her with disdain, and gave up the idea of lying on the table. "I just think this outfit looks more domineering than other clothes, but the boss lady thinks I'm in disguise and preparing to run away from home." Is it wrong for a short person to show off? Huh?
The owner of the clothing store next door suspected Yu Qian of running away from home. If the clothes hadn't already been sold to Yu Qian by a clerk, she wouldn't even want to do business with her. It seems this isn't a stereotype of the owner. It's said that her store has seen more than one rebellious teenager who's tried to run away from home, buying or even stealing clothes to change into. Compared to Yu Qian, who bought men's clothes to change into her, the teenagers who stole women's clothes and used wall tiles as rouge were even more outrageous. If the owner hadn't been quick to report the case to the police, several of these teenagers would have been tricked into marrying off to the mountains before their parents could find them.
Although she rescued the man in time and beat up the trafficker, the owner's wife was left with a traumatic experience. From then on, she became apprehensive about underage customers, sometimes even choosing not to do business with them. Yu Qian happened to arrive at the shop just as the owner's wife was out getting stock, and the clerk was new. If it weren't for this, she might not have been able to buy the dress she was wearing.
"I've already bought the clothes, so why do you care what others say? He looks a little more handsome than before, but the size of this dress... isn't it a little too big?" The sleeves are already a bit too long, aren't they?
"This is the smallest size in the store." Yu Qian spread her hands: "Actually, I'm a little regretful about buying this dress now. Facts have proved that being handsome is just my personal feeling, but the trouble is real. Sigh...
"By the way, how did you convince them to leave the clothing store?" Bei Qiao gestured around: This is not a clothing store.
Yu Qian raised her sleeves to cover her face: "I couldn't convince her. She asked the boss she knew to keep an eye on me and told me to call my parents. I didn't know where to call them, so I had to call you." How embarrassing! I'm already a grown-up, and I still have to call my parents.
"Huh?" Bei Qiao looked helpless: So he asked me for help because he was a parent.
