Qin Yining and his party came to the city not long after.
The streets here are flat and clean, the shop signs on both sides of the road hang high, the wine shop is flying, and after a street, there is a market in front of you.
There are people who sell vegetables and meat, those who sell buns and wonton noodles, those who carry the burden and shave their heads, and those who play shadow puppets, sing and perform small operas... Every stall has a business to do.
A young girl took her servants to buy beaded silk handkerchiefs in a roadside jewelry store. There are also three or five middle-aged men walking and talking at the same time.
The old man who made the twisted candy took two small bamboo sticks and twisted them with their wrists in the simmering viscous syrup to make a longan-sized candy ball. The child threw the copper plate into the pottery bowl, stretched out his dirty little hand to take the candy, licked it contentedly and ran to show off to his playmates.
The scene in front of me is really a scene that can only be seen in a peaceful and prosperous world. The people here are all red-faced, and at a glance, they can see that they have not been hungry for a long time, and they have lived very rich.
A young man carrying a burden, wearing a second-hand indigo cotton jacket, and a Liuhe hat passed by, shouting "biscuits".
Qin Yining raised his chin towards the hawker.
Ji Yun immediately understood, took two quick steps forward and said, "Little brother, wait."
"Ai!" The hawker put down the burden, and when he turned around, he saw that the person who called him was a very beautiful big girl, and his face was a little red, "The girl wants to buy biscuits? Two fen of chives, five fen of meat. "
Ji Yunsu picked up a thin, very clean white cloth and said with a smile, "Give me twenty chives and thirty meat-filled ones."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily, and took oil paper to wrap the biscuits.
While he was loading the biscuits, Ji Yun asked, "Excuse me, brother, I would like to ask you, where is the inn in the city?"
The young man had already seen Qin Yining and the guards in plain clothes behind him, and when he saw their style, he knew that they were not ordinary people, and immediately said: "The best inn is to go down this street to the end, and turn right. Two more intersections, it is called Home and Garden."
Ji Yun nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you." She took out the purse, checked out a small piece of silver and handed it to the young man, and then asked, "Do you know how to get to the Sitong number, little brother?"
"Sitong number?" The young man handed the wrapped twenty chive biscuits to Jiyun first, shook his head and said, "I see heaven walking in the city, I have never heard of the Sitong number, what kind of thing is it? Shop? What business do you do?"
Ji Yun avoided this problem by turning around and calling people. After handing the cake to Bingtang to send it back, he asked, "We are here to do business, does my little brother know how to get to the Qiu family?"
The young man's action of Baobing stopped, and there was some vigilance on his face, "Are you looking for Qiu's family?"
Ji Yun heard that, is there really a Qiu family here? Instantly said, "We are here to find Qiu Feishan."
If it was another girl, Ji Yun wouldn't mention her name, but Qiu Feishan walked in men's clothes to do business. At first glance, it's not a day or two. I think she's used to walking in men's clothes. No burden.
The young man was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you know Miss Qiu?"
At this time, Qin Yining had already brought rock candy to get the cake and distributed it to the guards behind him.
She shook the fan, the jade pendant on her wrist swayed with tassels, and the white gauze cap was slightly lifted by the light gauze in the breeze, revealing her beautifully curved neck and jaw.
When the young man saw Qin Yining's appearance, he couldn't help but smack his tongue again, strangely saying that such a beautiful big girl dressed up as a maid, it turned out that their master had such a look.
He glanced at the jade pendant in the shape of a maple leaf, the young man's expression was relaxed, as if he was completely relieved, and smiled: "So you are Miss Qiu's friends, the Qiu family's main residence is in the east of the city, and that large area is connected to each other. They are all relatives of the Qiu family. But I heard that Miss Qiu went out to do business. I haven't seen her in the city for a while. If you want to look for her, I'm afraid you will miss out. "
Jiyun took the cake and distributed it to Mu Jinghu, Jing Zhe, and other Jinghu guards.
Qin Yining also picked up a sesame pancake with chives and smiled, "Thank you for letting me know. We'll come and see you anyway. Jiyun."
Ji Yun immediately added a small piece of silver and gave it to the boy who sold the cake.
The young man originally declined, but Qin Yining smiled and said, "Today is a good day, and if you have a good time, I will accept it, little brother."
The young man was embarrassed to take Yinzi's subordinates, pick up most of the empty burdens, and continue to shout "biscuits" and leave.
Qin Yining looked at the back of him leaving, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and turned back and said, "Let's go to that home and garden first."
"Yes."
Everyone set off and drove the car to the home and garden. Because there were female dependents and there were many people, they directly packed a cross-yard to live.
After everything was settled properly, Qin Yining first ordered the store to prepare meals. The guards who followed her were all young men. The sesame cakes were given one or two to each person just now, which was not enough to fill their teeth.
Even if you find something strange, you have to wait until you are full.
Qin Yining, Bingtang and Jiyun eat in the house.
Just after eating and washing his hands, Mu Jinghu came to visit.
"Nothing is right today, you have to be careful." This is what Mu Jinghu said when he sat down.
Qin Yining also nodded solemnly: "It's really not right. Qiu Feishan is the big shopkeeper of Sitong, and the eldest lady of Qiu's family. Just now, Ji Yun wanted to inquire about Qiu Feishan, and casually said Qiu's family, the one who sells biscuits. His little brother was full of admiration and respect, and he recognized this jade pendant just like the city defenders."
Qin Yining lifted the maple leaf jade pendant and shook it before his eyes.
"Qiu Feishan deliberately led me here, and handed over the entrance card to Sichuan in advance, just because I was expected to use it. Jing Zhe said that the rest of the people's entrance cards are all wooden cards, which is different from this, just now. I asked the hawker about Qiu Feishan, and he stopped guarding me when he saw that I had this brand. All of these things show that we were attracted by a trick. Qiu Feishan is the eldest lady of the Qiu family. And it is an existence that everyone in Jianchuan City knows. This brand 80% represents the identity of the eldest Miss Qiu family, otherwise their attitude will not change like this. The most important point is that the little brother does not know the shop of the Sitong number. , as if I didn't know that the Sitong number was the Qiu family's business."
Qin Yining babbled, and told Mu Jinghu all the analysis and guesses in his heart.
Mu Jinghu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's the business that Miss Qiu is doing outside, and neither inside nor outsiders know about it."
"Your analysis is reasonable. In fact, no matter what, we are all in the middle."
Qin Yining lowered her eyes and refreshed her cognition of Qiu Feishan's ingenuity. It was the first time she had encountered someone so good at playing tricks and counting everyone and everything in advance.
Why did she lead them to Jianchuan City
While Qin Yining was racking his brains, Ji Yun's voice came from outside the door, "Princess. A master Qiu has come to ask to see him."
