The more Gong Ziyi listened, the brighter his eyes became. He could make a lot of money by doing nothing. Who wouldn't want to? Is there anything that I don't dare to do?
Dare to report it to the official? Report it? I’m afraid he won’t dare to report it!
After hearing this, Gong Ziyi slapped his thigh and told Li Neng: "Go and get the rosewood box from my room."
"Master! Do you want to take that one? You can take other ones too."
"Others don't weigh as much as it does."
Li Neng stamped his feet, not that he was afraid of losing it. How could he lose something under his nose?
I just saw that the young master was bewitched by the kid in front of him, and was a little led by the nose... Bah, no.
Yes...it feels like a bit of a joke.
But Li Neng couldn't say much and walked out of the room.
"Okay, let's get some sleep first and talk about it tomorrow. Just sleep in this room. I'll be generous and give you the couch." Gong Ziyi yawned.
I should have dark circles tomorrow. Is it bad?
Huo Xi thought that there were too many people in the other room and it would be difficult to sleep, so she nodded.
He went out again and called Huo Erhuai in, preparing for the father and daughter to dress up and spend the night together on the couch.
Gong Ziyi was stunned when he saw Huo Xi calling his father over. He was not used to it. Sleeping in the same room with a stranger?
He glared at the other person, and saw that the little boy didn't even look at him, but his father gratefully bowed his hands to him, then fell down on the bed angrily and fell asleep.
He put down the bed curtain angrily and separated into two worlds.
Little one, you don’t appreciate it when I leave you to sleep in the house. You even brought your father in to embolden you, are you afraid that I might do something wrong? Humph!
I thought I couldn't fall asleep, but I fell asleep quickly.
The next day Gong Ziyi got up and saw an exquisite girl dressed as a young rich man sitting at the table. He was startled. He thought he was dreaming.
He rubbed his face several times to see if he was still dreaming. But when he looked closely, he saw that the girl was still sitting there, looking straight at him.
Tian Linggai was immediately aroused: "How did you get in? Who are you?"
He looked at himself, fearing that his innocence would be compromised.
Huo Xi rolled her eyes. How old is she that she already knows about the affairs between men and women? It seems that wealthy people really don't care about human affairs.
"Get up quickly, you're already working hard every day, why don't you make money?"
"You, are you Huo Xi?"
"if not?"
Gong Ziyi opened his mouth in a circle, big enough to swallow an egg, got off the bed with his bare feet, and looked around her.
"You, are you a boy or a girl?"
"male."
"Do not believe."
"female."
"Female? I don't believe it."
Huo Xi rolled her eyes again and shouted at him: "Boy, boy! It's true! That group of people saw me yesterday, so they asked my father to buy a girl's dress early in the morning and pretend to be from a wealthy family.
Miss, this will make it easier to discuss business."
She gestured to him again: "Brother, sister," pointing at each other and then at herself, "My brother and sister went out to play, spent all the money, and decided to sell things to buy gifts for our elders. Then, you understand, right?"
Gong Ziyi didn't know whether he heard it or not, he just circled around her.
This little thing is hard to distinguish between male and female. When he is a boy, he is a perfect boy, and when he pretends to be a girl, he is also a delicate and beautiful girl.
"You don't have pierced ears!"
As if he had discovered some secret, Gong Ziyi pointed at Huo Xi's ear and laughed: "Ha, you are indeed a boy!"
Huo Xi's eyes dimmed.
The mother wanted to pierce her ears, but she was afraid of the pain and hid them. He also came out to help her and said that she would wait until the child was older and would not be afraid of the pain before piercing her ears.
But now his mother can no longer pierce her ears, and he has other children in his eyes and heart.
Concealing the emotions in her heart, she yelled at him again: "Hurry up! We have dozens of ships waiting to return together!"
Gong Ziyi was not angry at all because of her urging. He thought the other party was angry because of her embarrassment.
Boy, he didn't care, he washed up shirtless, walked around the room barefoot, and hummed some music.
From time to time, I would look at Huo Xi and say, he looks really like him.
He will be brought out as a beautiful little sister without losing his face.
"Where are your father and the others?"
"I got up early. I was afraid that people would find me, so I waited for us outside the inn."
Gong Ziyi nodded and glanced at the table, "Did Li Neng deliver the things?"
Huo Xi nodded: "What's in the box?"
"You haven't seen it?"
Huo Xi glared at him: "Am I that kind of person?"
Hehe. Gong Ziyi smiled, she is still a principled and lovely sister, no, brother.
"I hope you can open it and take a look, so that you can broaden your horizons." Gong Ziyi looked proud.
Huo Xi didn't bother to look at his arrogant look and opened the box.
After opening it a little, a faint fragrance came, and there was something densely wrapped in cloth in the middle of the box. Huo Xi guessed it was spices.
When the cloth was peeled off layer by layer, and a palm-sized object was revealed, Huo Xi's eyes widened: "This, is this ambergris?"
"Hey, kid, you're quite knowledgeable."
Isn't it just ambergris? It's not easy for him to get. But it will be put to great use.
"How dare you take out such a precious thing? It's still such a big piece! If you lose it, don't rely on me. I don't have money to compensate you." This box is very hot to the touch.
"You can't even afford to pay for it if I sell it! No one in this world dares to rob me of my things. Don't worry. I will play a game of black and white with you."
The two of them wrapped the box containing the ambergris in layers, carried it on their backs, and left the room.
Ma Ji, Yujiang, Qian Xiaoxia and others who were squatting outside were dumbfounded when they saw the young master coming out with a girl last night.
"This, is this Huo Xi?"
"Huo Xi is a girl?"
Huo Erhuai couldn't hide it now, and nodded uncomfortably: "Well, she was in poor health when she was a child. The master in the temple said that she would be fostered in a nunnery, and he had to pretend to be a boy to raise her, so she was able to raise her.
live."
Yu Jiang and others knew that Huo Erhuai had lost several children, so they believed this reason.
Only Qian Xiaoxia stabbed Yang Fu in the arm: "You are not a good friend, and you didn't even tell me."
"What's the big deal, boy or girl?" Yang Fu glanced at him, "Follow me quickly, you'll lose me soon."
Several people followed him in a daze.
Qian Xiaoxia was still clicking his tongue and sighing: "Is this really your nephew... female? Doesn't she look like Uncle Huo or Aunt Huo?"
"Can't you be like my mother or her grandmother?"
"Okay. No wonder Huo Xi knows so much. Did he go to the nunnery to learn calligraphy and skills from Master Tai?"
Yang Fu ignored him and just followed Huo Xi closely.
Huo Xi and Gong Ziyi pretended to be brothers and sisters and followed the middle-aged man pretending to be a merchant from another inn.
Seeing him squeezing through the vendors and crowds, he followed him. He followed him through several streets and alleys, and walked around the pier several times.
Finally looking for an opportunity, the two of them walked behind him.
"Brother, if we sneak out secretly, if our parents find out, will they scold us?"
"We've already come out, how can we catch up? Besides, we'll take a boat later and arrive in Yangzhou soon, and we'll be able to find our grandparents. They will be there to protect us, and our parents won't beat us. We will
It’s better to go find a gift for grandma.”
"But brother, we have no money."
"Don't be afraid, isn't my brother carrying something good on his back? If we sell it for money, won't there be something good?"
“Then wouldn’t it be enough to give this good thing to grandma?”
"You are stupid. Grandma doesn't like spices. Let's sell it and get the money to buy jade. Grandma likes jade. The jade craftsmen in Yangzhou are also famous. We will find a craftsman and carve that meaning.
Wouldn’t a good longevity picture please grandma more?”
"My brother is right. But where can I find a buyer?"
"It's okay. There are vendors everywhere on this pier. This is a good thing. Dad originally spent 10,000 taels to collect it. We don't want that much. We only sell it for 8,000 taels. Isn't anyone asking for 7,000 taels? I'm afraid it's all.
Want to grab."
"Really?" Huo Xi pretended to be surprised.
The two of them talked all the way to the point where Gong Ziyi felt like he had secretly brought his sister out to play with her, just to play with her.
