Xiao Zhuang looked at Qiao Wei with a face struck by lightning: "Madam, didn't you just agree..."
Qiao Wei interrupted him: "Oh, if you don't sell it, you can threaten me with a knife, is that also called talking?"
Who is threatening people with a dagger
Just as Xiao Zhuang was about to speak, Qiao Wei flashed the dagger in his sleeve, and he fell silent.
When Ji Mingxiu looked over, Qiao Wei hardly dared to look him in the eye.
In fact, she didn't understand what was going on with her. Every time she saw him, she was in such "dire straits", either being hunted down by bullies, or like an African refugee. This time it was even worse, and she was so poor that she took out the jewelry he gave him Sold it off, and was caught on the spot—
I thought it would be even more unlucky to abandon Bai Yueguang, but it turns out that being caught by Bai Yueguang is the most unlucky thing.
Fortunately, she was clever and passed safely.
Qiao Wei packed her things slowly, and turned around with a smile: "What a coincidence, Mr. Ming, we meet again."
Ji Mingxiu didn't correct her address, looked at her, and then behind her, with a strange expression: "You..."
Qiao Wei thought he was looking at Xiao Zhuang, and moved to the side to distance herself from Xiao Zhuang, saying, "I'm not here to sell things, don't get me wrong."
Ji Mingxiu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But before he opened his mouth, Qiao Wei said again: "I just...the flowers on the hairpin fell off and I asked them to repair it, and they wanted to buy the hairpin back. It's too much. How can you go back on things that have already been sold?"
In order to show her stance of sharing the same hatred with Xiao Zhuang, Qiao Wei decisively moved a few steps to the side: "I'm not in such dire straits every time..."
hot.
Before finishing the last word, Qiao Wei bumped into a ladder beside her.
On the ladder, a man was carrying a basin of water to clean the beams. Suddenly the ladder tilted, and he fell out. Cold water poured down from his basin, pouring on Qiao Wei. —
Ji Mingxiu was helpless: "...I wanted to remind you just now."
…
People are unlucky enough to drink water and get stuffed between their teeth. Qiao Wei can't think of being drenched in front of him, which is much better than being caught and wrapped by him selling plum hairpins. She is completely soaked, and there is no dry place , with black hair sticking wetly to his face, he knew without looking that he was in a terrible mess.
She couldn't get angry about this matter, because it wasn't anyone's fault, but she bumped into it herself.
It's impossible to be normal in front of him once.
I really want to dig a hole and bury myself.
Xiao Zhuang was still very loyal, and took her into a wing room on the second floor. He didn't care about being intimidated, mainly because he didn't dare to care about it.
"Have you brought any clothes?" Xiao Zhuang asked.
Qiao Wei shook her head: "No, you can get me a stove, and I'll just bake my clothes."
The weather was cold, and she would be frozen into a popsicle within an hour if she dressed like this, and she had only one copper plate left in her body, so she couldn't afford the medical treatment.
Jing Yun and Wang Shu followed in step by step, looked at their mother worriedly, Qiao Wei held back the trembling all over her body, and said, "Mother is fine, it will be fine when the clothes are dry."
Xiaozhuang quickly built a stove and came in. Dafangzhai was a small shop and couldn't afford red charcoal. The stove was black charcoal, which was very smoked, and the little bun soon burst into tears.
Qiao Wei was so distressed: "You guys wait outside for your mother, she will come out soon, don't run around, you know?"
"En." The two nodded obediently and stood outside the door.
Qiao Wei took off her cotton coat and trousers, and put them on the fire. She didn't dare to take off all her clothes. One was cold, and the other was uncomfortable. With the wet underwear sticking to her body, there was always a place that could not be roasted by the fire. She was so cold There were shivering waves.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.
Probably a child, Qiao Wei said: "Are you hungry? Wait a minute, mother will be ready soon!"
"it's me."
Ji Mingxiu's voice said, "I have clean clothes in the carriage, you wear them first, and change them after they are dry."
The door was slightly opened a crack.
A scallion white hand protruded, with pink nails, slender fingers, skin so good that water can be squeezed out, and a thick fat wrist, as thin as white porcelain.
Ji Mingxiu stared, a little lost in thought.
That hand shook, like flowing jade, with a faint soft light.
Ji Mingxiu looked at the hand, and the two children looked at Ji Mingxiu.
Sensing the eyes of the children, Ji Mingxiu narrowed his eyes and handed over the clothes.
"Thanks!"
Qiao Wei took the clothes, closed the door, and bolted the door.
This is an ordinary cotton underwear, the texture is very soft, and it exudes a clean and fresh smell, like the fragrance of his body, which is very pleasant.
Ji Mingxiu's voice came from outside: "I'll take them to eat first."
I haven't eaten all morning, so the children should be hungry. Qiao Wei originally wanted to sell the jewelry and take them to eat something delicious, but now, the hairpin can't be sold. It doesn't matter if she is hungry, and she doesn't want to suffer for the two children. .
"Then, thank you, my lord."
Ji Mingxiu took the child downstairs.
Wang Shu had already talked to Ji Mingxiu when he was recovering from illness in the capital, and there was a little secret between the two of them. It can be said that they are very familiar with each other. His soft little hand pinched one of his little fingers, bouncing and jumping, happy. no.
Compared with her acquaintance, Jing Yun seemed much more cramped.
He was seriously ill, and was drowsy for the past few days. He only vaguely knew that a kind uncle had taken them in, but he had never seen the other person's face.
He took a sneak peek twice, he was so short, he only saw a chin!
Ji Mingxiu turned his head to look at him.
He turned his face away with a swish, pretending nothing happened.
Ji Mingxiu looked forward, and he glanced at him treacherously again.
When he took a sneak peek at Ji Mingxiu for the seventh time, Ji Mingxiu caught his "present", and his eyes met, he was so panicked that he almost fell over!
Ji Mingxiu couldn't help but stopped in his tracks. He didn't look carefully before, but he didn't think so. Now that he took a closer look, he always felt that the child's features were familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
