Walking on the bustling streets, this scene must have happened a long time ago. It feels familiar yet strange. But I can only look at the snacks on the roadside. Who told the emperor to insist on me wearing a veil? I just took it off.
After a while, Ling'er also said no, otherwise he would be punished if he went back and was found out. He said he would pack it for me, but it was cold when he packed it back, so what's the taste? I looked at Ling'er pitifully.
"Madam! If you take off the veil even for a moment, you will be in trouble. Otherwise, when the madam wants to go back, I will buy everything and take it back together, so that it will not be cold and tasteless." Her begging
His eyes were pitiful, but much more lethal than mine.
"Then you have to remember not to leave anything behind. Also, buy more of this roast lamb." I looked at the roasted lamb skewers in front of me, and even the greedy man crawled out.
"Second brother, I want more." A little boy in front of the stall finished chewing the mutton skewers in his hand and begged with a pout to a boy next to him who looked several years older than him.
"Fourth brother, you see you've eaten all the food on your face. My aunt will see it later and tell her about us." As he said this, he lovingly wiped the grease stains from the corners of the little boy's mouth.
"No, I want it..."
"Oops! You two little devils secretly ate meat skewers on the roadside again. Your mother found out when you went home. Your aunt and I will not have a good life. Little devils and little enemies, you guys will call you aunt.
Just save yourself the trouble." A woman walked up on the side, she looked plump and spoke very playfully and cutely.
"Auntie eats it too. It's delicious." The little boy pointed at the meat skewers in front of him and said in a very obedient manner.
"Little ancestor, come back with me quickly. Oh~~" The woman picked up the little boy and took the older child away.
I stared blankly at the retreating figure, Little Devil, Second Brother. The names are so familiar.
"Madam? Madam??"
"Ah? What's the matter?" Ling'er looked anxious at the side. Could it be that he didn't bring any silver?
"Are you tired, madam? This slave has been calling you for a long time. Why don't you go back?"
"Ah? Really? Maybe." I don't know why, I felt very sad. I looked at the jewelry store opposite, walked to the front of the store, and said: "Ling'er, I was looking at the jewelry store opposite.
Look, come to me after you’ve bought everything.”
Ling'er graciously agreed and left quickly. When I walked into the store, the shopkeeper immediately greeted me with a flattering smile: "Girl, what kind of jewelry do you want to buy? Our store is the largest jewelry store in Los Angeles, and all the dignitaries are there."
A regular customer of the store, you can choose whatever you like."
"Well, I'll just take a look..." I looked at the gold, silver and jade in front of me casually, listening to the shopkeeper's endless introduction.
"Miss? Miss?"
"Huh?" I was lost in thought again. I flicked my hand, but unexpectedly broke the bracelet in his hand. I said apologetically: "Sorry, we'll figure it all out later."
"It's okay. These bracelets are very rough and not worth much money. It's normal that they won't catch the lady's eye. It's better if they are broken. How come it's credited to the lady's account? Do you like these other items?
?If you like it, I can ask someone to wrap it up for you?"
"Oh, just this one." I pointed at a lavender pendant casually. After all, they have introduced it for so long and their attitude is so good. It's not easy to do business, so I just buy something else.
"Young lady is indeed a person who knows the goods. I will wrap it up for you. This pendant is a rare purple stone that was polished and carved by skilled craftsmen for a year. This is the only one in our store in Luo City." After finishing speaking.
, he also quickly put the pendant into an exquisite wooden box and handed it to me. "The total is five thousand taels of silver."
I touched my cuffs. Oh no, I didn't bring my money bag when I came out. No, I probably didn't have a money bag at all. "Well, shopkeeper, I don't have any money with me. How about I pay you when my maid comes back?"
"
When he heard this, the shopkeeper was very unhappy. With a look of disdain on his face, he snatched the wooden box from my hand and wiped it as if I had made it dirty for him. "You said you are from a girl?"
, it’s okay if you don’t have money, wearing such expensive clothes
You're still covering your face, are you here to tease people? Or are you here to defraud people to avoid recognizing you later? Why did you come in here without any money and cause trouble! I just said, I know all the dignitaries in Luo City.
I've never seen you like this."
He spoke more and more vigorously and his voice became louder. Other people in the store also looked over, and some passers-by who liked to watch the excitement also gathered at the door. This made me extremely embarrassed. Why did this man say that he changed his face, and he said it like that?
It's ugly. "Why are you so mean? I'll give it to you when my maid comes back."
"Really, but you were alone when you came in." He looked at me in disbelief and said.
"Then it's okay if I don't buy it!" I really couldn't understand it, he had to think that I was a liar.
"It's easy to think. You can leave only by keeping the money for the bracelet, fifty taels."
"Didn't you just say you didn't want me to compensate you?" Why does this man always say the same thing?
"What do you say? Let's judge. This girl broke my jade bracelet. This is made of fine jade and is worth a lot of money. I asked her to compensate her for fifty taels, but she didn't even give it.
What's the point?" he began to yell.
No, you just said that the bracelet was rough and worthless? Why is it so valuable now!!
"Tsk, tsk, I have nothing to say. I see you don't have much money on you. Look for yourself to see if there is anything valuable on you." After saying that, he looked greedily at the necklace around his neck.
"What's going on?" A voice that was obvious to me sounded from behind.
"Master, you are here." The shopkeeper immediately changed his face and looked behind me flatteringly. He kept nodding and bowing.
A man with a fat body wrapped in silk and satin, a fat head, big ears, and evil eyebrows. His face was sallow, and his face was actually full of oil.
"This lady wanted to buy jewelry but had no money to pay the bill and broke a bracelet. I think she is a liar."
"Is that so?" The guy looked at me with a disgusting look in his eyes.
"My maid will give you the money when she comes back." I turned my head and didn't want to look at the person who affected the appearance of the city. Oh my god, things are developing so fast, I have become a liar!
"She came in alone," the shopkeeper added.
"Well, it seems that Miss has no money to lose. How about we make a deal? You take off your veil and let me have a look. Just write it off. If it looks good, hehe~~ Actually, it doesn't matter if it doesn't look good. Look at Miss's figure.
I'm almost so fascinated by you that I can't take my eyes away. It's not the same after the lights are turned off. You accompany me back home to be a concubine. I won't have to worry about food and clothing. There's no need to cheat outside." As he said that, he stretched out his hand.
I want to take off my veil.
"Get out of here!" I opened his dirty hands. He was obviously a scoundrel! Look at the people nearby. They all came to watch the excitement. No one said a fair word, let alone helped.
The world is really in decline.
"Tsk tsk! What a wild girl, I like her." As he said that, he was about to pounce on her.
I instinctively ducked to avoid it, but he grabbed my arm.
"Wow! Such delicate hands." As he said this, he forced himself over, as if he was about to pounce on me. I followed the direction in which he was falling, grabbed his arm, turned it around, and threw him out the door.
As soon as the person outside the door hid, he fell heavily to the ground. I walked out and saw the fat man who was half dead on the ground. He looked at me in disbelief. But I was even more surprised than him. It turned out that I could be so powerful. I was really
Don’t you know any martial arts?
"You...you are just a female robber, young master, are you okay?" The shopkeeper inside rushed out, but the young master who wanted to help him was pushed back to the ground.
Okay, now, I've been upgraded to a female robber.
The young master shouted angrily: "Hit me." Six strong men rushed out and surrounded me. But before they could take action, they stood still for a moment, and then fell down at the same time.
Unconscious about personnel matters. Behind them are the cold figures of the attendants around the emperor, and Ling'er.
"Madam, my subordinate came late, which frightened my lady." They knelt down together.
Someone tried to test the breath of one of the fallen shopkeepers and the fat-headed young man, but they were already dead.
"People are dead, people are killed!" the man shouted.
I turned around to look at him. But he looked at me blankly. The others were also dumbfounded. Ling'er raised his head and hurriedly picked up the veil from the ground and put it on me again. I quickly called them
They all greased the soles of their feet and ran away. People died! This is a big deal. "You guys are too cruel."
"Madam, it's your slave's fault, you shouldn't have walked away."
"That's not what I'm talking about. I didn't see any of them bleeding just now. They are bad, but they are not dead. Why did you kill them?"
"Madam, I have an order. Anyone who disrespects Madam will be killed. Moreover, I have ordered not to let Madam see blood, for fear of scaring Madam." In fact, they have been very merciful. If the Emperor saw it, those few people would probably be killed.
None.
"You guys are dead now! How will it end?"
"Madam, we have arranged for someone to deal with the aftermath." What they said was a complete plan.
"You... Then remember, just restrain them in the future, but don't hurt anyone's life again." This is too cruel. People like that can only be detained for a few days at most in modern times.
They responded with silence. I took it as their acquiescence, and then I also wanted to speak to the emperor.
