She took it out and placed it in front of her second uncle, then sat on the other side. The table was only big enough for eight people, but Mother Qian couldn't stand the smell of alcohol, so she took some food and ate it off to the side. She noticed that when her second uncle talked about the battlefield, only her eldest brother was interested. Her second brother ate silently, Wen Jiang gnawed at the rabbit meat with both hands, and Xin'er ate with her little mouth, looking very polite.
Xin'er's eating habits were the same as Cui's mother's, presumably because Cui's mother had taught her. Wen Jiang's eating habits were exactly like her second uncle's. After dinner, she served pear juice. She had picked pears today, and she had stewed the juice with some herbs, which was just the right way to relieve the dryness of late autumn.
After Xin'er finished drinking, she leaned on her side and said, "Sister, I want to take a bath with you tonight." She hugged her neck and clung to her shamelessly. "Why, Second Aunt won't wash you?" She asked, supporting Xin'er's armpits with both hands. Noticing that she wanted to come closer again, she pushed her away a little more with her hands. "Sister, you smell good, I want to smell good too." She didn't expect Xin'er's nose to be so sensitive. She took a bath in the space yesterday and used shower gel, so she could smell the scent of shower gel when she got close to her. Could it be that Xin'er's nose is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people?
"That won't work. I'm older now and can only take a bath by myself." Xin'er looked aggrieved, as aggrieved as she could be. But she would never take a bath with Xin'er no matter what. She could bathe Xin'er, but she wouldn't stay in the same tub with her.
When she was on the way to exile before, she washed Xin'er after she finished washing. But yesterday, she had just finished washing, and Xin'er was covered in mud, so she let her in to wash together. I didn't expect that she would think about this.
After cooking the food in the original iron pot, she continued to wash it and boil water for bathing. The only thing that made her unhappy was that there was oil in the water. There was no separate iron pot here specifically for boiling hot water for bathing, and there was no iron pot to remove the oil and dirt before washing it and boiling hot water, so even if she wanted to bathe, she still had to go back to the space to wash.
The next morning, Wu Ping borrowed the village chief's ox cart to pull the wild boar. She also took the opportunity to say that she wanted to go to the city to buy something, and got on the cart as well. This time they went to the city quite early, and it was only at dawn when they arrived at the county. He knew the gatekeeper, so he could drive the ox cart into the city in a swaggering manner.
"Uncle Ping, I'm going to go buy something first. If you can't wait, I can go back first. I'll take the village ox cart back later."
"No, I brought you here, so I have to take you back. Otherwise, if we run into bad guys, how am I going to explain to Brother Hong?" She shook her head, refusing. "Uncle Ping, I've been to the county several times and I'm familiar with it. You don't have to worry so much. Besides, I know a little martial arts."
"How can this be possible? How about I go shopping with you first, and then I'll go sell the wild boar." When she heard this, she realized how impossible it was and had to take a step back. "Uncle Ping, go sell the wild boar quickly. The sooner, the fresher it is. I'll wait for you at the city gate after I buy the things."
She specifically mentioned the novelty, thinking Uncle Ping wouldn't refuse. He nodded, and the two parted ways. She still had over twenty silver coins left from her last Portuguese tart purchase. Last night, she checked her space and took out a few marbles, which she was going to sell now.
These marbles were won by her when she was a child playing with the boys in the village. She won two jars in total. She counted them yesterday and there were 120 of them. Now she only took out 10. Marbles are made of glass in modern times, but this one is made of agate.
She came to Yiqing Pavilion, a place that collected rare treasures and offered the most reasonable prices. Yiqing Pavilion had three floors: the first floor was for displaying items, the second floor held more valuable items, also favored by dignitaries, and the third floor was for meetings.
As soon as she stepped into the door, she saw a wooden shelf in the middle, on which hung necklaces and headdresses, some made of silver and some made of gold. However, the jewelry was not very complicated, and most of them were simple styles.
The waiter stepped forward and asked, "What can I do for you, sir?" He didn't seem to be dismissive because of her young age. She was wearing the clean clothes she'd bought the day before. Facing the scrutiny of the others in the shop, she looked at the waiter and said, "I wonder if your boss is here? I have a business deal to discuss with him."
The waiter responded with a smile, "I don't know what kind of business you want to discuss. If it's a small one, I can still make the decision." She nodded after hearing this, stretched out her hand and opened her palm to show it. In the palm of her palm was a round and transparent heart with a small red fish inside. Such an exquisite appearance also attracted everyone in the store to look at it.
"I want the pearl in her hand! Name your price!" She looked up and saw that she was wearing pink satin, a robe draped over her shoulders, and red fire fox fur on her shoulders to keep warm. Such nobles might be very common in the capital, but in the frontier, people who wore such clothes must be rich or noble.
The people on the side were whispering, "Who is this lady?" "I heard she is a noble from the capital, and it seems she is here looking for something." "No way, if she is looking for something, why doesn't she send someone to look for it? Why does she have to come here in person?"
The other one smirked and said, "You probably don't know this. I heard that she came here with some noble person. It seems that she wants to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus to cure his illness."
She had also glanced at the book and knew that the prince was injured and poisoned and needed Tianshan Snow Lotus to treat him, but time did not allow for a round trip, so he could only come to the border and wait.
Because he was coming, the female supporting character also clamored to come with him. During this time, many officials knew about it. Those who came to the building to buy things naturally had no shortage of money, so they also knew something about it.
"Hey, the guy downstairs, are you selling it or not?" She bowed and said, "Sorry, I sold this pearl to Yiqing Pavilion. You can buy it from him."
She had just saluted and saw the person above clearly. This person, Ye Wan, was the second female lead of Ye Xiang and also the most important female supporting role in the book. She was eleven years old now, and her sister, the heroine, was seven years old. They had not matched up yet because her sister was currently studying in the palace.
She frowned. The hero of the book, Pei Guanyu, seemed to be only fourteen years old, but he kept it a secret from the people in the capital. Now the people in the capital have found out that he is recuperating in Zhuangzi.
The waiter then spoke appropriately, "Miss Ye, I'll send someone to take you home later." Ye Wan raised her chin slightly, head held high and chest puffed out, saying, "Okay, but remember, if I don't see it when I get back, you'll be dead."
The waiter nodded repeatedly in agreement, and then led Tong Wenyao in to talk.
In the private room, the shopkeeper was already sitting inside. When he saw the waiter guiding her in, he nodded and greeted her with a smile.
