Jiang Qingqing has always liked to watch all kinds of gossip and strive to be the first spectator on the front line.
As for the business of the merchants, although she did not understand the ratio of the copper coin price on Tianqi's side, from what she heard, it meant that the shopkeeper of Fanlou was greedy for a small profit and bought other people's tea, but the other person did not have ten kilograms at all.
"Brother," Jiang Qingqing called out crisply. She didn't find the name unpleasant at all. "What is the green powder they are talking about?"
Hearing the sudden call of "brother", Xiao Linting felt a momentary discomfort in his heart.
He had inexplicably developed a habit of raising his eyebrows in recent days. After hearing this, he couldn't help but raise the end of his eyebrows and lower his head to look at the little baby in his arms.
The young man did not answer her question directly, but this time he turned around and asked Jiang Qingqing.
"When you were talking to the Liguo hostage about the Liguo national specialties, didn't you see this?"
[Uh, does this count as bringing up old issues again? ]
Jiang Qingqing's scalp felt numb. She laughed dryly, clasped her hands timidly, and said carefully, "I didn't ask the question. I wanted to ask, but he couldn't stand my questions, so he jumped into the water..."
【Anyone with a discerning eye can see that I am avenging both old and new grudges. Why is the emperor's uncle bringing up this trivial matter at this critical moment? Wow, I only did it this once.】
Xiao Linting looked at the little ball in his arms, who was full of energy at first, but suddenly became listless and drooped his head.
The little pink ball is so cute.
His heart softened a little, and he used his free hand to randomly rub her hairy head.
Then she heard the young man's voice ending with a hint of laughter, answering her question and saying, "This green powder is produced only in Li State. When brewed with this powder, it will give you a green tea with a strong fragrance."
Specialties of Li State?
Jiang Qingqing's knowledge of Li State only exists on the two hostages sent by Li State, Han Qingyi and Han Qiming.
Because she hated the whole family, Jiang Qingqing no longer had much curiosity about Li Guosheng.
[Tsk, what green powder, the Li people don't have any ink in their stomachs. ]
Liguo...will not sell if the weight is less than the original...Fanlou, the most prosperous place in Tianqi Kyoto.
After connecting a few key words together, an absurd and bold idea suddenly popped up in Jiang Qingqing's mind.
This shop is not simple!
"Brother, are there any clear regulations on merchants in the Tianqi laws?" Jiang Qingqing suddenly asked about another topic.
Xiao Linting nodded slightly, and he said smoothly and calmly: "There are a few rules, but the merchant manager has not made any explicit special requirements for the time being. He only said that it is not allowed to do things that violate the revelation of heaven, it is not allowed to privately make salt and sugar, and it is not allowed to sell fake goods, etc."
[Yes, this law is as good as not being established.]
Xiao Linting: ???
Jiang Qingqing pursed her lips, memorized the location of the shop and looked away, no longer looking at the two vendors arguing in front of the shop.
Xiao Linting was wondering what the little princess meant by this, and he reined in his horse and moved forward in a daze.
Just as their horse was crossing the intersection, a petite figure suddenly appeared on the road and flew towards the horse's feet.
Xiao Linting lowered his eyes, withdrew his puzzled thoughts, and immediately pulled the reins steadily to turn the horse's head to avoid the sudden figure.
After the horses stood firmly, Xiao Linting and Jiang Qingqing turned their heads almost at the same time to look at the person on the left.
When I looked closely, I realized that the person who rushed towards me was a little girl.
The girl looked pale, but fortunately she was dressed decently.
Xiao Linting slightly frowned his handsome sword-like eyebrows and scolded in a deep voice: "You should watch the road when you walk. If you rush forward and get hurt, you won't be the only one who gets hurt!"
The little girl who failed in the charge heard the scolding from the man on horseback and was so frightened that her body trembled like a sieve.
Jiang Qingqing saw that the other party didn't seem like someone who was deliberately looking for a fight. She felt a little scared, so she thought he was probably not a person without any ties.
"Why are you rushing down the road?" She tried to keep her tone as gentle as possible.
The little girl crawling on the ground heard a gentle voice coming from the horse's back, and she subconsciously looked up.
In the backlight, one can see two silhouettes, one tall and one short. The man has a high bun and a crown, his back is straight, and he looks very imposing. The girl has two buns and a red hairpin, and she looks pretty and charming.
"I...I left Ba Village to seek refuge with my relatives in Kyoto, but they looked down on me and said they would only accept me if I could get through some hardships. I just wanted a place to stay, so..."
The girl's words were somewhat coherent, but they were trembling and a little unclear.
Jiang Qingqing tried hard to identify him for a long time before she realized that the man had come out to live with his relatives.
You can't say this girl is simple-minded. After all, she knows how to use tricks to achieve her goals.
But we can't say that this girl is smart. She couldn't even understand what those extremely bad relatives meant. She was so foolish as to believe that they would take her in if she was injured.
Xiao Linting has seen too many people who play the victim. Even if the other party is really desperate, he can at most remind them that they still have the court to rely on, and let them think of ways to get help from the court.
"It's probably impossible to go to your relative's house. Have you thought of any other ways?" Jiang Qingqing asked again.
Xiao Linting's hand that was holding the reins loosened again.
Never mind, there's nothing wrong with a soft heart in the little guy.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and shook her head.
"Everyone in the village has left, and there is still an elderly grandparent at home. I originally wanted to come to Kyoto to borrow some money from relatives to take care of my grandparents for the rest of their lives..."
The little girl seemed to realize that she had said too much when she was halfway through her speech. She stopped talking and looked up and smiled at the little girl on the horse.
"If my relatives really don't want to help, then I'll look for other places in Kyoto that can hire female workers."
As she spoke, she stood up awkwardly, took two steps and swayed a bit.
Seeing that the other party was in a bad condition, Jiang Qingqing was about to ask the emperor's uncle if he could help her, but the next second the little girl fell straight to the street.
Several people passing by saw the little girl fainted, and some of them went up to check on her. However, many of them hesitated and withdrew their hands when they saw that she looked pale and unhealthy.
Jiang Qingqing looked at her with a frown, but Xiao Linting spoke faster than her.
"Don't worry, someone will pick her up."
"But she fainted."
"Then let someone arrange for her to stay in a small courtyard, give her something to eat when she wakes up, and let her rest well before finding a job on her own?"
Jiang Qingqing pursed her lips and looked at the fallen woman, other thoughts coming to her mind.
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions!"
