Chapter 181 Take your husband-in-law to play somewhere else
A full moon climbed silently into the navy blue sky. On both sides of the street, red lanterns were hung, making the outline of the night more and more clear.
The market is still lively. The cool evening breeze has retreated from the heat of the day, and is soothing and gentle, bringing a bit of haziness. Every face that walks towards you looks so friendly and easy-going.
Duan Zifei held Xiaoxiao's hand and walked slowly on the street. His two sons had already been picked up by Wufeng and Wushuang, saying that he wanted to strengthen the relationship between the pavilion master and his wife.
There was always a smile on Xiaoxiao's cheeks. From morning to night, Zifei stayed with her all day long, which made her feel extremely happy. In fact, she was really easily satisfied. As long as there was such a person by her side,
She didn't need to ask for anything. She took a few steps forward, took the initiative to hold his arm, and got close to him intimately. She didn't say anything, just wanting to be by his side like this.
A group of people gathered in the middle of the street, bursts of applause and cheers erupted from time to time.
Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said cheerfully, "Zifei, how about we go over and take a look?"
Duan Zifei didn't say anything, he just put his arm around her waist and led her protectively into the crowd.
The center of the venue was filled with many small trinkets. Vases, jade pendants, silverware and other items were placed according to distance. The farthest distance, about ten feet away, was a silver ingot. The boss was holding a pile of plates.
The big bamboo ring was shouting from the side, "Is there any other expert who wants to try it? That ingot has been around for more than a month, but no one has taken it!"
Looking at Zifei next to her, Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and stretched out her hand, "We!"
When the boss saw the business coming, he happily walked over and said, "One copper plate and one circle, let's try our luck."
"I want ten!" Xiaoxiao took out the remaining ten copper coins from buying Douhua and gave them all to the boss.
Duan Zifei's brows twitched slightly, and he glanced down at her. Xiaoxiao smiled and pointed at the farthest silver ingot, blinking her big eyes, "I want that."
Duan Zifei lowered his eyes, walked over slowly, and took the bamboo hoop from the boss's hand.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on him. I had never seen such a beautiful man before. When he stood there, he was a perfect picture. He was calm, he was clear, and he was as quiet as still water. The people around him were as calm as water.
The fuss and fussing has no effect on him at all.
"Zifei, come on!"
A sudden shout diverted everyone's attention.
Xiaoxiao wore a white lily dress. When the wind blew, the hem of the skirt spread out like a lotus on the water. Vaguely, it seemed that she could smell the faint fragrance floating in the air. She waved her arms vigorously towards Zifei, her face blooming.
Her smile infected everyone on the sidelines. Involuntarily, they cheered along with her.
The boss smiled resolutely, and the old man stood aside.
Duan Zifei picked up a bamboo hoop, glanced at the ingot of silver, and threw it out. The bamboo hoop ran straight towards it as if it had eyes, and finally wrapped it tightly around it.
quiet.
very quiet.
Immediately, a burst of warm applause broke out from all around.
The boss was dumbfounded and froze in place for a long time without coming back to his senses. This was impossible. The bamboo hoops were all manipulated. The farther away they were, the more they aimed and the more likely they would miss. There was no way he would hit it!
"Zifei! Great!" Xiaoxiao happily clapped her hands, ran to the boss, spread her hands, "Bring it here."
The boss looked unhappy and took out a piece of silver from his pocket.
"One more! One more!" The crowd cheered spontaneously.
Duan Zifei's face did not change, his eyes were still motionless, he twisted another one with two fingers, threw it out easily, and hit it again!
"Ah! So awesome!"
The boss was dumbfounded on the spot with his eyes wide open. He was so impressed that he had met an expert!
"Haha," Xiaoxiao grinned from ear to ear, walked over and stretched out her hand, "Bring it, bring it,"
The boss gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and took out another tablet amidst the cheers of the crowd.
Another three hits in a row, and the applause became louder and louder.
The boss was about to cry, so he quietly pulled Xiaoxiao over, "Girl, this is a small business, and I have to support my family. I can't afford to lose so much money. I know you are all experts, but I'm still a little bit broken here."
I’ve given all the money to you, could you please take your husband-in-law to play somewhere else?”
Xiaoxiao shook her head and laughed while holding a handful of money. When she met Zi Fei, it was really difficult for these people who relied on small tricks to make a living. She was about to call Zi Fei over. Those who had lost money before stopped working, "I said boss,
It's all about making money from us. If you encounter someone powerful, you'll drive them away. How can you be so unreasonable in business?"
"That's right! If you are so dishonest, don't expect anyone to come here again!"
There were more and more shouts, and the boss had a grimace on his face, and could only admit that he was unlucky, "Okay, okay, I admit it, why don't you, girl, you can trick me, I will give you as much as you want!"
Xiaoxiao was just doing it for fun, but now she feels a little embarrassed.
Just as he was talking, all ten bamboo hoops in Duan Zifei's hand had been caught. He turned around, came to the boss, imitated Xiaoxiao, stretched out his hand, spread it out, and said, "Silver."
"Okay! I'll give it!" The boss gritted his teeth, took out a few more pieces from his waist, and gave them all to him. Then, he sat in the corner and sighed.
Duan Zifei took it and handed it to Xiaoxiao one by one.
"Uh, then, let's go." Xiaoxiao held the money in her hands, feeling really guilty. She was thinking that after the crowd dispersed, she would come back and return all the money to him.
As soon as she turned around, Duan Zifei waved his hand and threw out a banknote, which landed directly at the boss's feet.
"This is……"
The boss picked it up and looked at it, his eyes widened, "One, one, one thousand taels?!"
When I looked up again, the two of them had already walked far away...
After walking around the market for a day, Xiaoxiao was so tired that she sat down on the steps of the arch bridge, "I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore."
The ripples of the river shimmered with light, reflecting on Duan Zifei's innocent face, which was dazzlingly beautiful. A trace of pity flashed across his eyes, and he came to her, turned his back and said, "I will carry you."
Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and said coquettishly, "I'm very heavy."
"I know."
"..."
In the middle of the bustling market, there seems to be a wall. On one side of the wall is the bustle, but on the other side is tranquility.
Duan Zifei half-closed his eyes and walked on the noisy street with her on his back.
Lying on his back, Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and slightly raised the corners of her mouth, enjoying her tranquility.
Until the night fell, all the shops were closed down one by one, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. He still carried her on his back, step by step, slowly and slowly.
Behind them, the shadows of the two people were stretched out, and finally, they merged into one color...
