Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

The sun went down and night fell, and it was dark all around.

The two brothers of the Qi family went to the back of his second aunt's house in the dark, and Qi Yunhui circled his hands into a ring and meowed twice into the house.

After a while, a six or seven-year-old boy quietly opened the back door and came out.

"Brother Yunhui, why are you looking for me so late?"

Qi Yunhui pulled Da Zhuang aside and looked around for a few times, and after confirming that there was no one there, he took out a slingshot from his arms and shook it in front of Da Zhuang.

"Didn't you always want this? Just answer one of my questions and give it to you."

Da Zhuang stared intently at the slingshot in Qi Yunhui's hand: "Brother, just ask, I'll tell you everything."

"Do you know where Ah Nuan has gone?"

It's a very simple question, if you know it, you know it, if you don't know it, you don't know it, but Da Zhuang looked at Qi Yunhui's hesitating and hawing for a long time without saying a word.

"What? Don't want it? Forget it."

Qi Yunhui made a gesture to put the slingshot back into his arms, and Da Zhuang answered anxiously.

"Don't, brother, I know. Today, two people came to my mother's house and took A Nuan away. My mother asked me not to tell you, otherwise there will be no meat to eat."

"And then? Where did those two go?"

Qi Yunming suddenly rushed to Da Zhuang from the darkness, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground in fright.

Although Qi Yunming had never bullied Da Zhuang, every time Da Zhuang saw this brother, he was afraid for no reason.

He immediately replied: "I overheard those two people saying that they don't want to travel at night tonight, and they want to stay in the county town for one night."

The two brothers Qi Yunming and Qi Yunhui looked at each other, dropped their slingshots and ran towards the entrance of the village.

"Brother, do you think we can catch them and bring Ah Nuan back?"

"Yes, definitely! Let's set off now and stand guard at the gate of the city. We will always see them leave the city when the gate opens tomorrow, and then we will find a way to rescue Ah Nuan."

Early the next morning, Qi Qingxi woke up Qi Nuan who was sleeping soundly, and the two had breakfast at the inn before going to the street together.

The former Qi Qingxi deliberately asked the innkeeper about the most prosperous place in Ansui County, and after leaving the inn, he dragged Qi Nuan to the street.

Although it was early, the streets were already crowded with people, bustling with people, and the sound of hawking was endless.

There are all kinds of shops such as snacks, snacks and groceries on the street. It is indeed the most prosperous street in the county.

The more Qi Qingxi looked at it, the more he felt that it was very feasible to open a small shop here, but he had to go back to the village to pick up the two boys, and there was also the matter of Qi Nuan being sold, so he couldn't let it go.

But now, Qi Qingxi glanced at Qi Nuan's clothes that were washed white and covered with patches, and pulled her into a clothes shop.

The clothes shop is not big, filled with all kinds of fabrics, and there are a few ready-made clothes hanging on the wall.

Standing behind the counter was a middle-aged man who seemed to be the shopkeeper.

The shop owner saw that there were businesses coming just after opening the door, so he immediately stepped forward to greet them with a smile.

"What do you two girls want?"

Qi Qingxi patted Qi Nuan on the shoulder: "Shopkeeper, pick out two decent clothes for my sister. And..."

She looked down at Qi Nuan and said, "How tall are your two brothers?"

Qi Nuan frowned delicately and thought for a few seconds, then reached out and gestured on Qi Qingxi's shoulder: "My little brother is so tall."

Qi Qingxi looked funny and asked: "What about the elder brother?"

Qi Nuan stretched out her hand on tiptoe and wanted to raise it to Qi Qingxi's head, but found that she couldn't reach it at all, and then bowed her head in embarrassment.

Said in a soft voice: "The eldest brother is a little taller than the elder sister."

Qi Qingxi estimated her current height, 16 years old and less than 1.6 meters five, this Qi Yunming is now at most 15 years old, it is normal for her to be about the same height as her.

"Shopkeeper, take two more men's clothes according to my sister's gesture. There should be ready-made ones, right?"

In this era, everything is tailor-made, Qi Qingxi is really worried that there is no suitable one.

"Yes, yes, just wait a moment, and I'll bring it to you."

The shopkeeper immediately rushed to search behind the counter, and after a while, he took out several sets of clothes and sent them to Qi Qingxi.

"See if these suits suit you. They are the most custom-made styles in our store, and the price is also affordable."

Qi Qingxi looked through the clothes carefully according to Qi Nuan's gestures just now, thinking that it would be a bit troublesome not to try them on, and she didn't know if she could change them, but the little girl, she could try on Qi Nuan.

Maybe Qi Qingxi thought for a while, the shopkeeper was afraid that she would hesitate and change her mind and not buy it, and he thought that the girl was well-dressed, so she should not be short of money.

He immediately said: "Girl, although the style of my material is not comparable to the clothes on the girl, it is also the style we are wearing now and the price is reasonable. If you are not satisfied, we can change it to another."

Can it be changed?That was exactly what she wanted, and she had to tell the shopkeeper that the two sets of men's clothes were not suitable for a change.

Before she could open her mouth, a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s walked in, looking haggard, and greeted the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper Xu, how is it? I asked your friend if he has any answers?"

Shopkeeper Xu glanced at Qi Qingxi, nodded at her with a smile, and said, "Girl, please take a look first, let me say a few words."

Then he sighed at the slightly fat middle-aged man: "Shopkeeper Chen, you also know that my friend is only a few dollars a month as a cook in the provincial capital, although he is closer to home to take care of the family, but You have 80 taels of silver in this tavern, and he can’t come up with so much money all at once.”

The man who was called shopkeeper Chen said anxiously: "You also know the situation on my side. I have been waiting for him for many days and he has not responded. The price has dropped again and again. There is really no way. I will wait two days. We will leave in the next day, so we can only find another buyer."

Qi Qingxi on the side listened to the conversation between the two while trying on clothes for Qi Nuan, and suddenly became interested when he heard about the sale of the shop.

She asked shopkeeper Chen, "Do you have a shop to sell?"

Shopkeeper Chen sized up Qi Qingxi for a moment, seeing that the girl was well dressed, he rekindled the hope of selling the shop.

"Girl, are you interested? My shop is just two rooms next to Shopkeeper Xu's. The front is a shop with a slightly larger area than Shopkeeper Xu's. There are several houses and a kitchen in the back, which can be used for business or as a home."

Can you do business or live at home?

This can not only satisfy her idea of ​​opening a shop, but also save her looking for a house everywhere.

Before wearing a book, she was a social animal and often needed to move and find a house because of her work. Every time she looked for a house to tidy up and move, she was so tired that she collapsed. She was really fed up.

Since it is so close, it must be seen.

"I wonder if it's convenient for the shopkeeper to take me to have a look?"

Shopkeeper Chen immediately said: "Of course, of course, if Miss wants to see it, she can go now, it's only two or three steps away."

After speaking, shopkeeper Chen glanced at the clothes in Qi Qingxi's hand and said: "Of course, you buy clothes first, and I can wait here for you to finish looking at the house. Don't say anything else, our shopkeeper Xu is good at making clothes It is famous in our county."

There is righteousness in the failure of the business, although the shopkeeper Xu and him to sell the shop failed and delayed him a lot of time, but his original intention was good.Moreover, after so many years in the neighborhood, shopkeeper Xu is clear about his behavior, and he can't ruin other people's business for his own affairs.
