Chapter 114: Go shopping with a man in the middle of the night
After shopping for a while, Wen Jiaojiao met an acquaintance. Qi Shuo and Qi Yao were also shopping outside, but it was most likely Qi Yao who pulled Qi Shuo out. Wen Jiaojiao glanced at Que Wu beside him and looked at him.
Hide beside me.
If Que Wu wasn't here, she would definitely go up and say hello, but Qi Yao couldn't hold back her words. If she saw the two of them together, the entire Qi family, Xiao family, and Wen family would have to know tomorrow.
In this way, the Xiao family would know that she ran out to go shopping with a man in the middle of the night.
She was thin-skinned and couldn't stand the questioning and probing eyes of those elders.
Que Wu watched Wen Jiaojiao hide behind him, followed her gaze to the two boys and girls walking in their direction, and knew that she knew them.
Que Wu looked around and saw a stall selling various masks. He pulled Wen Jiaojiao to the stall and asked her: "Little Moon, which one do you like?"
Wen Jiaojiao's eyes wandered over these masks, and he chose a half-face mask of a rabbit, and then gave a leopard to Que Wu.
"Here you go, little leopard."
When Que Wu heard "little leopard", the corners of his mouth raised, and he picked it up and put it on his face.
As soon as she put on the mask, Qi Yao and Qi Shuo squeezed their way through the crowd to the mask stall and stood beside her.
Qi Yao pulled Qi Shuo with excitement and said: "Ah Shuo, let's buy a mask. I heard from Aniang that Jiao Jiao came out of the palace and now lives in Xiao Mansion. Let's buy a scary mask to scare people tomorrow."
Scare her."
Wen Jiaojiao: "..." Does she look so timid?
With that said, Qi Yao picked up a ghost mask and put it on her face, suddenly turned her face and said loudly "Ah!" to Qi Shuo.
Qi Shuo was standing next to Wen Jiaojiao. I don’t know if Qi Shuo scared her, but she was startled and screamed out. Then she felt that her reaction was a bit too big and moved behind Que Wu.
Hide away.
Que Wu took advantage of the situation and hugged her.
Qi Shuo took off Qi Yao's mask and scolded: "A Yao, you scared this girl."
With that said, Qi Shuo cupped his hands towards Wen Jiaojiao and said, "I'm sorry, my sister has always been naughty and scared the girl."
Qi Yao stuck out her tongue and apologized to Wen Jiaojiao.
Wen Jiaojiao was afraid of being discovered by them, so he waved his hands to the two of them, then pulled Que Wu's sleeves, signaling him to leave quickly.
Que Wu took her hand and led her into the crowd.
Qi Yao was still choosing a mask, and Qi Shuo looked at the girl's back and felt that she looked familiar.
"A Shuo, let's also buy a mask for Jiao Jiao. I don't know what she likes."
Qi Yao wanted Qi Shuo to pick something for her. She looked at him standing there in a daze and bumped her elbow against him, "A Shuo, what are you looking at?"
Qi Yao followed Qi Shuo's gaze and saw the tall figure in front of him and the little girl next to him who was scared by them just now.
"That man looks like a foreigner at first glance. He is so tall and has curly chestnut hair. He wears very little clothing and is not afraid of the cold. However, the girl next to him should be from Beiyuan. Judging from her height, she should not be tall. What do you think they do?"
"Hey, they can't be a couple, right? The size difference is a bit too big, isn't it? Isn't this foreigner looking for trouble for himself by finding such a petite and exquisite girl?"
Qi Yao crossed her waist and shook her head repeatedly. Qi Shuo flicked his hand on Qi Yao's forehead and said, "Are you thinking about something weird again?"
Qi Yao: "I'm right, this won't crush people to death...well..."
Qi Shuo quickly covered Qi Yao's mouth. If no one took care of her mouth, she could say any shocking words.
The entire Qi family was a military officer. Qi Shuo and several brothers and sisters grew up in the military camp. They never heard any vulgar words, but their parents taught them strictly and they did not dare to use those vulgar words.
.
It's just that Qi Yao has been a loudmouth since she was a child. Even if she is beaten by her mother, she doesn't remember it and she can say whatever she wants.
She said: "Anyway, I don't want to be a virtuous young lady."
If she didn't cover her mouth, even more shocking words would come out.
Qi Yao opened Qi Shuo's hand and said angrily: "What can't be said? Look at this person, they are holding hands and hugging each other. You should be more direct with Jiao Jiao. If you want to be like this, there are other things.
What's wrong with people?"
Qi Shuo: "Jiao Jiao has not shown any interest in me, so I naturally have to be polite to her and keep a distance that makes her comfortable."
Qi Yao looked like a child who cannot be taught, and shook his head. He saw many foreigners walking back and forth on the street. In recent days, because these foreigners are leaving Beijing, there are many more. They seem to like Beijing very much.
Yuan, whether it is food, various utensils or girls from Beiyuan.
Qi Yao chuckled: "The foreigners are indeed very good-looking. The tall and strong ones are much more pleasing to the eye than the Beiyuan people. Men should be like them."
Qi Shuo looked away and said, "So you want to marry a foreigner?"
Qi Yao: "I didn't say that."
"Then you have been running to the street of Foreign Mansion every day these days?"
Qi Yao muttered: "Can't I just take a look? You men like good-looking girls, and we women also like good-looking men."
Qi Shuo had long been accustomed to the carefree temperament of his compatriot sister. He couldn't help but glance at the direction where the two people left just now. He always felt that the girl's voice and figure were really Jiao Jiao.
But Jiao Jiao is very afraid of the cold and is weak. He won't go out to blow the cold wind on such a snowy night, right?
In front of a stall selling sugar cakes, Wen Jiaojiao watched eagerly as the boss made a freshly made sugar cake for her.
"Come on, girl, take it, be careful not to burn your hands."
Wen Jiaojiao was about to reach out to take it, but Que Wu took it one step ahead of her, "It's very hot. Let it cool down for a while before eating."
With that said, Que Wu directly took off a silver ornament from his body and paid the vendor.
Wen Jiaojiao grabbed his hand and said, "Your silver jewelry is enough to buy ten candy shops."
The silver jewelry was also inlaid with precious stones. Although Wen Jiaojiao didn't know the specific value, she lived in a golden house and wore gold and silver jewelry every day, so she knew the prices of these things to some extent.
Wen Jiaojiao held Que Wu's hand holding the silver jewelry and pushed him back. She didn't bring any money, but she had a hairpin with gold wire on her head. She took off the gold wire from the hairpin and handed it to him.
To the elderly boss.
The boss looked at the gold thread and quickly said he couldn't find it.
Wen Jiaojiao looked at the little girl who was only sixty-seven years old and blinked at her beside him, and said with a smile: "No need to look for it, you can exchange it for some money and buy some more thick clothes for your little granddaughter."
The boss kept thanking Wen Jiaojiao and wanted to make some more candy cakes for her, but she refused. She couldn't eat so much and it was a waste to give it to her.
