The south of Lidong Town is a wealthy area in a certain sense. The streets here are clean and the houses are tall, but the roads are a bit deserted. To put it bluntly, they are not grounded.When Qi Mingcheng and his group walked to the north of the town, all kinds of worldly fireworks rushed towards them, and finally there was a lively atmosphere.

The streets are not paved with stone slabs, and people walking directly on the mud floor always feel that there is dust in the air.Moreover, the streets are very narrow, and everyone is crowded with each other, and all kinds of smells fill the nose.On both sides of the street, the hawkers doing business are not low-key at all, and the voices of shouting come and go.

Qi Mingcheng walked among the pedestrians. Everyone's clothes were not well-made, and there were traces of loess between their eyebrows and eyes.That said, it doesn't mean that their faces are dirty, but that as soon as you see them, you can tell that they are ordinary people who have been facing the loess and their backs to the sky all year round.

Everything in Zhenbei is naturally not as stylish as Zhennan, but for a person who loves life, everything here is amiable.

Wu Shun led everyone under a big banyan tree with great experience.

There are many people resting under the tree, everyone is sitting or standing, chatting with those who don't know each other.

Wu Shun took off a cloth towel around his waist, spread it on a stone, and signaled Qi Mingcheng to sit down.As for Wu Shun himself, he and the two elder sisters of the Qi family just need to find a place to sit.Laying a cloth towel is not for cleanliness, but because the stone will be a little warm after being exposed to the sun. If Qi Mingcheng sits on it directly, Wu Shun is afraid that he will have a stomachache.There is no way, in everyone's perception, Qi Mingcheng is so delicate!

In fact, there are low-end food stalls in the town, and the food is not expensive, but there are still few people who are willing to buy food.

Almost all the people resting under the big banyan tree took out their own dry food for lunch, some with coarse grain cakes, and some with steamed buns.Some of these people are poor, and some like Qi Erniang know how to live. Even if the family does not lack these copper coins, they still bring dry food with them.

Qi Erniang took out the pancakes from the basket and shared them with everyone.Because they only eat two meals a day, this is their dinner.

The weather is still not cold, so I don't feel anything when I eat the food I brought home.If it was winter, the temperature in winter would be too low. Even if they were as simple as Qi Erniang and as strong as Wu Shun, they would have to buy some warm food to warm up when they arrived in town.

Because there were people sitting around, Qi Erniang didn't want to talk about her own affairs and make others listen to the excitement, so she talked about the young master they met at the back door of the Zhou Mansion, and said with emotion: "After all, it's from the noble family. Son, you look so good-looking! One word means handsome! Two words means good-looking! Originally, I always thought that we, Mingcheng, were good-looking. Compared with that young man, tsk, we were compared to scum It's scum."

Qi Mingcheng took a bite of the cake, pretending to be wronged, and said, "Sister, why did I become a scumbag? I remember, as soon as the little boy came out, you immediately lowered your head. It took only a short while, sister, are you serious?" Did you see him clearly? Don’t deliberately bury me, right?”

Qi Erniang said unceremoniously: "Hmph, one look is enough! Just one look, I know that young master is a cloud in the sky!"

"Then I'm not mud on the ground!" Qi Mingcheng said unconvinced.

Qi Erniang laughed: "That's right, you are not mud on the ground, you are a stone on the ground!"

This is a joke between siblings, in fact Qi Mingcheng is not ugly.In other words, the Qi family and the Zhao family are not ugly.If one had to find someone who lowered his appearance, it would be Wu Shun.However, Wu Shun is not ugly, but he is a little darker.

Qi Mingcheng laughed for a while, and said, "Hey, actually, my sister is right, and I also think that young master is pretty good-looking."

The young master of the Zhou mansion looked to be two years younger than Qi Mingcheng, and it was the time when he was indisputable.He is also raised in a wealthy nest with red lips and white teeth, with an outstanding natural appearance.But this little boy doesn't look feminine at all.As soon as you saw him, you knew he was a handsome young man.

Let's put it this way, if Jing Chao had the Internet, and Qi Mingcheng secretly photographed the young man and posted it on Weibo, then he would definitely be able to make headlines!

Wu Shun has a big appetite and eats fast.Qi Mingcheng delicately bit off a quarter of a cake of the same size, but Wu Shun had already eaten it all.He took another cake from the basket.Hearing the conversation between Qi Mingcheng and Qi Erniang, he couldn't help laughing, and it was meaningful.

Qi Mingcheng thought back on what he said, and he didn't say anything wrong!

Miss Qi saw that Wu Shun was laughing badly, so she poked Wu Shun's waist lightly under the cover of her sleeve.Wu Shun understood what his daughter-in-law meant, so he couldn't hold back anymore, and said in a low voice, "You are all wrong! That's not a young man, that's a young lady."

"No way!" Qi Mingcheng didn't really believe Wu Shun's words.That young master doesn't feel like a woman disguised as a man at all!

Wu Shun said affirmatively: "It is indeed a young lady, maybe it is the cousin lady in Zhou's mansion? Although I didn't dare to look closely at the time, I quickly lowered my head, but what I do, eyes All good. I remember very clearly, that young master...she has this!"

Wu Shun held the cake with one hand, and pinched his earlobe with the index finger and thumb of the other hand.

Qi Mingcheng understands, does that young master have pierced ears?

In modern times, Qi Mingcheng has seen some boys get their ears pierced for fashion and other reasons, and there are also gays who choose to wear earrings on their right ears to show their sexuality.But as far as Qi Mingcheng knew, if it weren't for the ethnic minorities with special customs, the boys in Jing Dynasty almost never pierced their ears.

The custom of wearing earrings was not for beauty when it first appeared, but a sign of "humble people".

Women wear earrings and wear earrings, which have existed since ancient times.This is what people thought at the time.

Although earrings had become a kind of accessories during the Jing Dynasty, it was still rare for men to wear earrings.Even if some boys were raised as girls because of their poor health when they were young, it doesn’t work to wear women’s clothes, and they have to have their ears pierced, and they rarely have both ears pierced.

Distinguishing boys and girls by whether they have pierced ears is not a fictional plot that only exists in TV dramas.

However, Qi Ming honestly couldn't imagine that the young master was actually a little girl, so he asked hesitantly, "This... can't be?"

"Don't you believe my eyes?" Wu Shun is very confident in his eyesight and observation ability, "Although the 'little son' deliberately used rouge to touch his ear piercing, trying to cover it up But since it has been pierced, there must still be some traces."

Qi Mingcheng opened his mouth wide.

Qi Erniang looked funny, took Qi Mingcheng's hand, and put it into his mouth.

Qi Mingcheng's mouth was blocked by the big cake he held in his hand.He took a hard bite out of the pie.

Before time travel, when Qi Mingcheng occasionally watched TV, he saw routines in costume dramas, and he felt that there were too many slots.The traces of the female lead's disguise are so obvious, how blind must the male lead be to not recognize the female lead, and to say "good brother" to the female lead?But now, Qi Mingcheng finally understands that he was so stupid and naive back then.If Zhu Yingtai's men's clothing looks like that young master of Zhou's mansion, it's no wonder Liang Shanbo can't recognize him!This is not because Liang Shanbo is too dumb, but because Zhu Yingtai's ability to disguise herself as a man is so superb!

"Probably, that girl is a heroic person." Qi Mingcheng finally said so.

Qi Erniang didn't want to talk about this topic anymore: "If it's a young master, it's okay for us to talk more about him; but since it's not, let's not talk about it." He won't talk about girls from other families.

After they finished their meal, they rested for a while under the big banyan tree, and then set off on their way home.

On the mountain road, only the breeze and birds chirping, without outsiders, Qi Erniang finally couldn't wait to talk about Sanni.

Everyone can see that Sanni's life in the Zhou Mansion is not difficult, Qi Erniang has repeatedly lamented that the Zhou Mansion is really a kind family.However, her emotion can be regarded as a kind of comfort in bitterness.After all, no matter how good the master's family is, the slaves are still inferior.

"Even if you eat better and dress warmer, what's the use? You can't laugh when you laugh, and you can't cry when you cry, alas." Qi Erniang said.

"Let's work harder this year, maybe next year we will be able to pick up the third sister." Qi Mingcheng said quickly.But he also had a hidden worry in his heart. In order to get a price for the sale, Qi Dae signed a death contract on Sanni's sale contract. If the master was unwilling to let her go, it would be useless even if they raised money.

Qi Mingcheng felt that he should do something.

On the other side, the boy Akang met his master in the best restaurant in the town.He remembered well, and actually recounted the conversation between Qi Mingcheng and others and Sanni to his master.The young master closed the folding fan, tapped his palms, and said: "If that's the case, what they said should be true."

"Is it still necessary to send someone to watch them?" A Kang asked.

The young master shook his head, and said indifferently: "No need. Although we are in a special situation, we should be cautious in our words and deeds, but since they are really here to visit relatives, we don't need to be in trouble. This blessing, I Remember it was the big maid that my grandmother had to use?"

"Yes, Sister Fu'er is in charge of the key to the old lady's private treasury, and the old lady can't leave her at all," Akang said.

The little boy said nothing more.

He was sitting in the best private room in the restaurant, drinking a pot of tea that could only be regarded as ordinary to him, watching the people coming and going on the street.

Look, it's a bit lonely.

Mrs. Zhou only had one daughter in her life, and her daughter married to the Duke of Zhen.Her daughter also had only one daughter.

Therefore, in this world, the only one who can call Mrs. Zhou her grandmother is the little master in the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

The little master's surname is Shen, and his single name is a word of spirit.
