A gate opened in a narrow alley, and a wheelbarrow was pushed out unsteadily.
"Slow down, slow down."
The squeaking sound of the car accompanied Chen Qi's voice.
"Can you do it?"
A wheelbarrow was pushed out, with a wooden frame on top filled with sugar figures.
The car was not pushed by Chen Qi, but by Fang Jinxiu herself. Chen Qi was nervous and protected it with his hands outstretched.
"Left, left, right, right," he kept saying.
Fang Jinxiu lowered the car, causing the sugar figure on the car to shake.
Chen Qi also started shouting.
"Shut up." Fang Jinxiu shouted.
Chen Qi quickly shut up.
"I've practiced for a long time, I can push it." Fang Jinxiu said, glared at him, and pushed the car again.
Although it was small and the car was shaking, it did not fall over and the sugar man on it did not fall off.
"I'm not saying you can't do it. I have myself, so let me do it." Chen Qi said with a smile, "No matter what, I'm also a partner."
"Your partnership is to provide the molds and materials for making sugar figures, and I am responsible for the sales." Fang Jinxiu said, looking ahead intently, "I didn't hire you to help me."
"Then I don't need to follow you?" Chen Qi said.
"No need." Fang Jinxiu said.
Chen Qi really stopped and watched Fang Jinxiu push the cart out of the alley.
After leaving the narrow alley, there were suddenly more people on the street, and more children were running at the intersection. When they saw the cart pushing the candy man coming out, they immediately gathered around.
Fang Jinxiu panicked, her steps became unsteady, and she was about to fall.
Chen Qi at the back seemed to be afraid to look and raised his hands to cover his eyes, but there was no girl's scream or the sound of the car falling to the ground, he opened his hands and saw through the gap that Fang Jinxiu had already propped the car on the ground.
Fang Jinxiu couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her heart almost beating out of her throat.
Looking at the unicycle in front of me is a bit funny.
It's just a car. Is it scarier than a horse that can jump and kick people to death?
I wasn't that scared when I first learned to ride a horse.
Her laughter died down again.
When I was learning to ride a horse, as the daughter of the Fang family, I was surrounded by many people and protected them, so I had no worries at all.
It's different now, now she's alone.
Fang Jinxiu stood up straight. She looked at the children who gathered around her and the curious eyes on the street.
She opened her mouth and made a dry sound, which was unclear and inaudible.
"Is this for sale?" the children who gathered around asked.
"Yes." Fang Jinxiu nodded quickly, "You. Do you want it?"
The child bit his fingers and looked at the sugar man with shining eyes.
"Yes." he said loudly.
Fang Jinxiu was overjoyed. She opened her business as soon as she left the house. Good luck.
She quickly picked up a candy and handed it to the child. Chen Qi sighed as he stretched out his hand. But it was too late. The child took the candy and licked it immediately. The other children immediately swarmed over.
"I want one too."
"I want one too."
The children were about to knock the car over. Fang Jinxiu was in a state of panic as she tried to protect the car and block the children.
"That money." She finally remembered and shouted at the child holding the candy man.
When the child heard this, he turned around and ran away.
Fang Jinxiu was stunned.
"Money!" she shouted.
The child had already run to the opposite alley, and Fang Jinxiu wanted to chase him. She didn't dare to throw the candy figure out of the car, but she was also unwilling to let it be taken away.
"Chen Qi." She had no choice but to shout.
Chen Qi sighed and ran over quickly. Fang Jinxiu didn't turn back and chased after the child.
The child had stood behind a fat woman.
"What are you doing?" The fat woman glared at Fang Jinxiu who was rushing towards her.
"He bought my sugar man. He didn't pay for it." Fang Jinxiu said, pointing at the child.
The child stuffed the candy man into his mouth, and his hands were covered with saliva.
The fat woman glanced at the child and smiled.
"Buy? I didn't say buy, you told a kid buy." She said, her voice suddenly raised, "Are you lying?"
Fang Jinxiu took a step back when she was called out.
"I didn't lie. He said he wanted to buy it, so I gave it to him," she said.
The fat woman pouted.
"He is just a child. Does he have to take everything he says?" She pointed her hand at Fang Jinxiu and moved closer.
Fang Jinxiu had no choice but to retreat again.
The fat woman withdrew her hand and smiled at Fang Jinxiu.
"If he says he wants to buy you, will you sell it too?" she said.
Fang Jinxiu's face suddenly turned red.
"How can you swear at me!" She had a bad temper and she glared at him and shouted.
But as soon as she said this, the fat woman slapped her thigh and started shouting.
"I'm going to scold you, I'm going to scold you, you little whore, come quickly, use candy figurines to coax children out of money."
People on the street immediately looked over.
Fang Jinxiu bit her lower lip, resisted the urge to fight with the woman, turned around and ran away.
Chen Qi stood in front of the sugar man car and looked at her.
Fang Jinxiu clenched her fists, walked forward, pushed the cart and left without saying a word, and the woman's cursing could be heard behind her.
"That's how women in the market are..." Chen Qi followed her and said carefully, "Don't..."
"I understand. I'm not sad." Fang Jinxiu interrupted him.
Chen Qi said "oh" and remained silent for a moment.
"The money a sugar man earns today will be reduced by half." He couldn't help but say again.
Fang Jinxiu turned around and glared at him fiercely.
"I know," she said, "I didn't do it well. I won't do it again next time."
Here he paused again.
"The money will be deducted from my share."
Chen Qi smiled.
“No, no,” he said with a smile. “I’m just reminding you to remember what you did wrong so you won’t make the same mistake next time.”
Fang Jinxiu retracted her gaze and continued to look forward. There was a shop on the side of the road with the words "Yiyouxing" hung on it. She heard shouting from the yard, and Fang Jinxiu stopped to look.
From inside the gate, you can see a group of children of different ages practicing boxing in the yard, squatting in neat horse stance and shouting while punching.
Lei Zhonglian walked among them with a wooden stick in one hand, giving instructions from time to time.
She decided to stay in Yangcheng because of Lei Zhonglian.
Such a person could stay in the Fang family for eighteen years and finally fulfill his wish, but he gave up the huge sum of money and the superior and comfortable life given by the Fang family, and reopened the escort agency from scratch as a disabled person.
He could do it. He was so young and healthy, so why couldn't he start over again?
Every business started from scratch.
Yuan was right. She had learned a lot at a young age. She had wings and could fly even if she fell to the ground.
Fang Jinxiu took a deep breath, looked at the increasingly crowded street, pushed the bike and walked forward.
"Selling candy figures." she shouted.
It’s not that she hasn’t spoken in front of people. In the past, when she went to the bank, she even gave a lecture to a group of shopkeepers. But that was when she was high up and mighty, and people respected her and had to please her. But now she had to please others and order things for money.
But it's not as difficult as I imagined to shout it out. As expected, everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you get started, nothing is difficult anymore.
A smile appeared on Fang Jinxiu's face.
"Selling candy figures." She shouted again, her voice crisp, bright, and pleasant, attracting many people on the street to look over.
Fang Jinxiu pushed the cart and walked towards the crowd without any fear.
"Try the sugar man. It's sweet and rich."
Chen Qi followed behind and slowed down his pace. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with some satisfaction. Suddenly he seemed to hear some noise. He turned his head and saw the fat woman and the child at the entrance of the alley. The child was licking the candy man with his hands full of saliva.
"Is it delicious?" the fat woman said, "Let me try it."
The child turned away unwillingly.
"Kid, why don't you take a few more?" the fat woman scolded, poking the child's head with her hand.
The child's head tilted, and with a "pop" sound, the candy man in his hand fell to the ground.
The child suddenly cried out.
The fat woman was also startled.
"Why didn't you hold it tightly, you damn child?" she shouted, and tried to pick up the candy man that had fallen on the ground with a distressed look on her face. As soon as she bent over, she heard a slight "puff" sound, and then her legs went numb, and she fell to her knees and crawled on the ground.
Her face hit the candy man right on the head, and her face was covered with saliva, candy and dirt.
The fat woman uttered a scream.
The child laughed beside him.
The street suddenly burst into laughter.
Chen Qi also laughed when he saw this scene. Thinking of something, he looked towards the street corner. Everyone on the street was laughing at the scene. Only two seemingly idle men were standing by the wall with their hands in their pockets, acting as if nothing had happened.
Chen Qi smiled, retracted his gaze, looked at the girl walking on the street in front of him, and chased after her while shouting out hawkers.
…
At this time, the summer heat made the bustling streets of the capital city much quieter.
Miss Jun sat on a high building, fanning herself slowly. Her eyes, as usual, swept across the distant imperial city and the residences of royal relatives and high-ranking officials. She seemed to be thinking about something and yet thinking about nothing.
Suddenly, a crisp bell rang from downstairs.
Ringtone?
Miss Jun looked over subconsciously and saw Liu'er walking back and forth in the yard holding a wind-fighting bell made of copper bells and swinging it.
The crisp ringing sound echoed.
Miss Jun put away her fan and sat up straight. Her originally scattered gaze became focused and her eyes became dark and bright again.
She thought of a solution to her current trouble.
