The next morning, without He's urging, the four cubs dressed up early and ran away in the yard.
There was no surprise. Shen Qingqing was the one who got up the latest. When she was getting dressed and going out, the kids were already having breakfast.
Meng Yuan specially bought breakfast from outside. There were hot sugar pancakes. When you tear them open from the middle, you can see the thick sugar juice dripping down;
There are large steamed stuffed buns with soy sauce, which are filled with chunks of diced meat. They are moderately fat and thin, and you will feel extremely satisfied when you bite into them;
There are also soft and delicious tofu puffs. A spoonful of special sauce is poured on the raw tofu, then a few drops of chili oil, sesame oil, and finally a sprinkling of green onion and coriander, you can drink two bowls in one sitting.
For a time, the courtyard was filled with the sounds of snoring and drinking tofu nao, and no one could even think of talking.
After eating and drinking, the family moved the boxes of silver that the emperor had gifted them with, and went shopping happily.
The capital is much more lively than Ningyang County. There are so many different things to eat, drink and use that it’s hard to choose.
Seeing that everyone was interested in different things, Shen Qingqing simply defined the scope and let everyone shop according to their own interests. After making arrangements, she and He went to the jewelry store hand in hand to raid.
The abandoned Meng Yuan and Fang Zhenshan looked at each other. The former touched his nose and said, "Then shall I accompany Yu'er to buy food?"
Fang Zhenshan: "I'll buy clothes with Xuebao? What about Yun'er and Feng'er?"
Meng Qiyun took out a small broken bowl, waved his hands to the two of them coolly and said: "You go ahead, don't worry about me, I want to set up a stall to tell fortunes."
By the way, let's find out how the market is in Beijing and see if we can make a lot of money.
Meng Qifeng scratched his head and continued: "I don't have anything to buy, so I'll just stay here with my mother and grandmother to pick up the things."
After the family decided on their respective routes, they split up. To Meng Yuan's surprise, it was only after he said goodbye to Fang Zhenshan that he realized that the person he wanted to take care of was missing.
The aunt selling vegetables next to him enthusiastically helped him answer his doubts: "Are you looking for that beautiful little boy? He went to a store selling roast duck!"
Meng Yuan raised his eyes and saw Meng Qiyu squatting on the street corner in front of him, holding a roast duck and chewing his mouth full of oil.
"..."
This greedy naughty kid!
Meng Yuan laughed angrily and stepped forward to arrest the person. Before he could reach the place, an uncle wearing a sapphire blue shirt suddenly rushed out from the other side and grabbed Meng Qiyu up.
"Thief! You thief!"
Meng Qiyu was so frightened that the roast duck dropped. She fluttered her greasy paws and retorted: "I'm not a thief! Don't slander me!"
Meng Yuan's face sank, and he flew forward to break Meng Qiyu away from the man's hand, and at the same time kicked the man violently, sending the man to the other side of the street.
After such a commotion, all the passers-by cheered and surrounded me.
The man struggled to get up from the ground, pointed at Meng Yuan and shouted: "Why do you, a man, hit people as soon as you come up? Can you be reasonable?"
Meng Yuan responded coldly, "You are facing an opponent who is only a few years old and falsely accusing him of being a thief. He should be beaten!"
"Who framed him?" The man said plausibly, "The notice clearly states that this kid is a thief and very bad. I am acting bravely!"
"Notice?" Meng Yuan frowned, "Where did the notice come from?"
"It's just at the north end of the street. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it!" The man rubbed his aching chest and wanted to take them to the north end of the street to look for evidence.
Meng Yuan turned around and patted Meng Qiyu on the shoulder, "Are you going?"
"My roast duck, woo woo." Meng Qiyu stared at the gray duck on the ground, feeling so distressed that she burst into tears.
Meng Yuan: "...Don't cry, dad will buy you another one later."
Meng Qiyu lowered his head and took another look. Still reluctant, he bent down and picked up the duck.
Meng Yuan's mouth twitched and he muttered silently: If you are not clean, you will not get sick after eating it.
Then he turned away and pretended not to notice, pushing his back and walking away.
The people around him were unwilling to miss the opportunity to watch the excitement and followed him excitedly.
A large group of people came to the north end of the street. Many notices were densely posted on the dilapidated blue brick wall, and one of them was particularly conspicuous.
Because there is an oversized portrait painted on it, and the owner of the portrait is none other than Meng Qiyu. The artist's skills as a painter are quite superb. Not only does the painting look like, but he also has a clever and cute charm.
Below the portrait are bold words: We are urgently looking for the heart-stealing thief Meng Qiyu. Anyone who provides clues is asked to go to the Laifu Inn in the south of the city. If the information is true and reliable, he will be rewarded with a large sum of money.
Heart-stealing thief...
It feels like something is not quite right.
Meng Yuanshen lowered his head and patted Meng Qiyu's butt, and asked: "Did you trick a little girl into eating her chicken legs?"
"How is that possible? I am greedy, but what I am greedy for is all my own stuff, okay?" Meng Qiyu squinted her neck and retorted.
He wouldn't do such an immoral thing as snatching a little girl's chicken drumstick!
"Then what's going on?" Meng Yuan pointed to the missing person notice on the wall.
Meng Qiyu puffed up his cheeks and took a closer look. Then he suddenly realized with a pat of his head: "This is a picture drawn by Mr. He must have noticed that we suddenly disappeared, and in a rage he chased us to the capital to find us."
Meng Yuan couldn't believe it: "Is it so exaggerated?"
"Believe me, sir, you can definitely do this kind of thing." Meng Qiyu said with certainty.
"Then...after your mother finishes shopping, let's go to the Rifu Inn to have a look?"
"No hurry, no rush... wait until I choose a gift for my husband, otherwise he will definitely not let me in." Old God Meng Qiyu sighed on the ground, unable to help but worry about his tragic fate in the future.
With his husband's temper, he is really hard to coax when he is stubborn.
Meng Yuan nodded, "Okay, let's choose the gift first, and I'll help you choose it."
After discussing, the father and son turned to leave, but the man leading the way was unwilling, "What do you mean, just leave after beating the person, don't you want to express your gratitude?"
Meng Qiyu walked up to him in two steps and put the ash-covered roast duck into his hand, "Here, I apologize. You're welcome to take it."
man:"……"
I feel humiliated.
Meng Qiyu spent most of the day choosing gifts on the street, and finally picked a wooden stick that looked very cool and eye-catching.
Oh, no, it's a wooden stick coated with paint.
Meng Yuan looked left and right, up and down, but hesitated to speak: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to give this to me?"
Meng Qiyu's voice was firm: "This is what I like, sir."
Meng Yuan was speechless, "Your husband's hobbies are quite unique."
Over there, Shen Qingqing and Mr. He raided the jewelry stores, grocery stores and rouge shops on two streets, and collected a bunch of miscellaneous snacks and snacks before finally giving up with satisfaction.
Meng Qixue also returned home with a full load, buying a bunch of new clothes with big and small bags.
Meng Qiyun's side was relatively bleak. Due to his young age and lack of prestige, he set up a stall for a long time and only harvested three copper coins.
Those three coins were given to him out of kindness by an old lady who was passing by because she felt pity for him. Meng Qiyun, who was born to be strong, was not willing to accept the money in vain, so she insisted on asking someone to tell his fortune.
The scene is so poignant that it makes the listener sad and the listener shed tears. This chapter has been completed!
