Master of Rebirth

"Thank you third uncle." Hearing this, Wang Qi smiled.

It is rare for a member of the Wang family to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion. Eating in the Prime Minister's Mansion is regarded as a big face, but Wang Qi is not rare.He knew that his third aunt, Fang, had always looked down on members of the Wang family, and now it was probably because of Linglongzhai and those calligraphy and paintings, and he didn't really regard him as his family.

People like Fang who are born with a sense of superiority, even if they condescend to meet him, they will definitely put on a condescending face, as if giving alms.If something goes wrong and violates their taboo, it is tantamount to folding in all the good things that have been worked so hard before.That being the case, it is better not to see.

"Third Uncle stayed for dinner. I shouldn't have refused. It's a pity that something happened. Qi'er still has something to do, so I won't bother you at home. Thank you for your kindness." Wang Qi cupped her hands and said, "These clothes and jewelry are given by Qier. As a gift for Third Aunt, Qi'er knows that Third Aunt doesn't need anything in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but these are all my nephew's wishes, I hope Third Aunt will not dislike them."

After Wang Qi finished speaking, she signaled Zhao Aman to present the clothes and jewelry.

Zhao Aman was holding the things, but he was very unhappy in his heart.These small things in Wang Qi's mouth cost hundreds of taels of silver, enough to cover the expenses of dozens of families in Pingyao County for a year.It was a waste of Wang Qi's efforts to please her, but she was still worried that the wife in the prime minister's mansion would dislike her. It's really a rich man's wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death.Thinking that the money Wang Qi bought these things was cheated from the poor old man in Huping County, Zhao Aman felt even more shameless.

Taking a glance at the clothes and jewelry that Wang Qi sent up, it must have cost a lot of money.Wang Yao sighed, he knew that there were many rules in the Prime Minister's House, and he was taboo about being a merchant of the Wang Family.Although it was not easy to have a good impression of Wang Qi, it was still spent with dim sum and money.In case something goes wrong during the banquet, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.Therefore, it is reasonable for Wang Qi not to stay.

Wang Yao sighed: "Since that's the case, I won't force you to stay. Go and do your work."

"Yes, then Qi'er will go back first." Wang Qi stood up, saluted respectfully, and left.

Back at the inn, Dong Jue couldn’t help being surprised when he saw Wang Qi came back so soon: “Brother Qiongju, your third uncle is too unreasonable. He took that precious lion’s head and didn’t keep his relatives. nephew for dinner?"

"Third Uncle stayed, but I didn't agree." Wang Qi said with a smile: "The Prime Minister's Mansion has many rules, eating with them, how can I feel comfortable with you."

Thinking of those officials who think they are honorable, their eyes are higher than the top, and they can't wait to look at people with the tip of their noses. After collecting money and things from them, they still have to curse in their stomachs that they smell of copper and can't be on the big stage.

Dong Jue nodded in agreement, he hugged Wang Qi and said, "That's right, it's definitely not fun to eat with those people. Today, brother, I will be the host, and I will invite Brother Qiongju to the most famous cyclamen in the capital. Xiangfu's dishes are poor."

"Okay." Wang Qi said, "Then I will be disrespectful."

The two went to Xiankelai to have a big meal first, and after that, Dong Jue couldn't wait to drag Wang Qi to the various antique markets he had inquired about in advance, thinking whether he could find some good things and make a fortune.It's a pity that the good luck seems to have been exhausted. Although the antique market in the capital is lively and full of things, the two of them didn't find a single treasure.

Wandered around and returned empty-handed.

Seeing that Dong Jue was listless like a sick quail, Wang Qi could only smile and said, "Brother Wushuang, don't be overly disappointed. Finding treasures in the antique market is like gambling. Surprises come when there are accidents. If you win every time, After a long time, it doesn't make any sense."

"Then I'd rather be boring." Dong Jue smiled without being entangled, "Forget it, anyway, I have received a lot of good things a few days ago, and I am not in a hurry. I am tired after walking for so long. Let's go to Bada Hutong and listen to the music."

Bada Hutong is a famous brothel street in the capital. Dong Jue deliberately said it implicitly, but Wang Qi had already heard about it.

"I won't go, you can go." Naturally not interested in that kind of place, Wang Qi declined with a smile.

Dong Jue naturally did not give up, "Don't just refuse, maybe you will like it after you go."

"No." Wang Qi smiled and shook her head.

Seeing that he refused to go, Dong Jue was helpless, but he had no choice but to go by himself.

After seeing Dong Jue off, Wang Qi took Zhao Aman back to the inn.

Following Wang Qi in the inn all afternoon, with nothing to do, Zhao Aman looked at the bustling market outside, and suddenly wanted to go out for a stroll.He has walked the streets of Pingyao County many times, but he has never looked at them seriously.Now that he closes his eyes and thinks about it, he can hardly imagine what the street looks like, whether it is as lively as the capital city, with people selling candied haws, dough kneaders, and all kinds of jugglers.

In the past, Zhao Aman didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't dare to look at it, because even if he saw it, he didn't have the money to buy it, so he could only be greedy.But it's different now, he has money, he can buy favorite cakes for grandma, and clothes and jewelry for the girl, but he has never bought anything for himself.Zhao Ahman couldn't help thinking, can he now buy some things that he wanted but couldn't afford when he was a child?

This kind of thinking is just the beginning, like a seedling nourished by the sun, it grows stronger and stronger.After dinner, Zhao Aman still coyly made a request to Wang Qi.

"My lord, can I go out tonight." Zhao Aman said, "I want to go to the street to have a look."

"Are you going shopping?" Wang Qi was a little surprised. In his impression, apart from studying and doing things, Zhao Aman went to Linglongzhai to visit Mrs. Ma, and never did other things.

Zhao Aman nodded, and said: "It's rare to come to the capital, I want to go for a stroll and see what's different in the capital."

It was only then that Wang Qi realized that Zhao Aman was still a child after all, and the hustle and bustle outside was already attractive to him, not to mention that the prosperity of the capital was not comparable to that of the small Pingyao County. Zhao Aman came to the capital for the first time. Naturally want to look around.

"The capital city is very big, and you are not familiar with the place where you live. You may get lost when you go alone." Wang Qi was worried that he would go out alone, and said, "I heard that there is a night market near here. I want to see it too, so you and Let me go together. When Mr. Dong comes back tomorrow, we can have fun in the capital for a few days."

Wang Qi's words are very reasonable. The capital is so big and the streets are full of fish and dragons. It's really not safe for a teenager to go out alone.Zhao Aman couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he could only nod in agreement.

Changing into casual clothes, Wang Qi took Zhao Aman out of the inn.

There is no curfew in the capital, and the streets are still brightly lit even after Haishi.Passing through the bustling crowd, the shouts of small merchants and hawkers can be heard endlessly, noisy but pleasant.The aroma of various foods was refreshing, and a few young children were chasing and fighting in the crowd. Their melodious laughter and bright smiles made people feel happy.

Along the way, Zhao Aman kept looking around and looking at all kinds of interesting things on the street, like a goose that broke into a flock of chickens, and was very novel about all strange things.

Wang Qi is also considered generous, as long as it is a stall where Zhao Aman stops, whether it is food or toys, he will buy it to satisfy Zhao Aman's hunger and boredom.At first, Zhao Aman refused to accept it, but gradually, he started to play with it, and before he knew it, he had more things on his body and hands.

There were more and more people on the street, Wang Qi was afraid that the two of them would be separated, so she reached out and grabbed Zhao Aman's hand.

Feeling his hand being held by a big warm hand, looking up at Wang Qi's profile, Zhao Aman's eyes suddenly became hot, a thought buried in his heart a long time ago, like a seed frozen for a long time Suddenly, it broke through the ground, tearing a crack in the heart, and the sour and sweet water flowed out.

Zhao Aman suddenly recalled himself when he was young. At that time, his family was poor and it was very difficult to even have a full meal. He was forced to grow up early, and he was sensible in advance, and he never asked Mrs. Ma for anything.But don’t, doesn’t mean you don’t want to.Seeing other children being pampered and coddled by their parents, watching them beg for things coquettishly from their parents, Zhao Aman has always been envious, and also fantasizes that one day, someone will hold his hand and take him shopping, give him He buys everything he likes.

At this time, Zhao Aman had a Kunlun slave mask on his head, various small toys on his back, and a bunch of big and red candied haws in his hand.These things are not very attractive to him now, but they were very longing for when he was a child.Looking at the many children around him, they all showed envious eyes on the various toys on his body, and this kind of eyes were all from him looking at others in the past.Now, it was finally his turn to be envied by others, and Zhao Aman felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Holding Wang Qi's hand, Zhao Aman cherished this journey very much, and walked very slowly, as if he was remembering his long-gone childhood.

He couldn't help thinking that after entering Wang's house, life gradually got better and there was no shortage of money, but he and Mrs. Ma had never gone shopping together.One is that Mrs. Ma is old and her legs and feet are not right, so she can't walk long distances.The second is that he has grown up, and every day he thinks about being able to be independent soon, and he can support Mrs. Ma's sky, and the little thoughts when he was young have long been forgotten.

What I thought I had forgotten a long time ago was hooked up by such an unintentional move by Wang Qi.Only then did Zhao Aman realize that this was the first time he was led by someone, and it was also the first time someone bought him something he liked.Many years ago, the wish I made when I was young has actually come true.

Zhao Aman couldn't help but glanced at Wang Qi again, he hadn't noticed it before, but now that he thinks about it, Wang Qi gave him many firsts.The first time he read a book, the first time he wrote, the first time he played the piano, the first time he had his own room, the first time someone was willing to take care of him and his grandma... and the first time someone held his hand and asked him what he wanted .

The two kept walking like this until the sound of clappers sounded, and Wang Qi turned around and asked, "Is there anything else you want?"

Letting go of Wang Qi's hand, Zhao Aman lowered his head to cover his sore nose, and shook his head gently.

Not noticing his strangeness, Wang Qi said: "Then let's go back."

"Okay." Zhao Aman said.

There was still lingering warmth on his hands, and even Wang Qi's unique fragrance of ink. Looking at his sparse back, Zhao Aman felt that most of the dissatisfaction and prejudice against Wang Qi in Huping County had been washed away.

"No matter how Wang Qi treats others, at least he treats me well." Zhao Aman thought to himself.

After a day of running around during the day and a night of shopping at night, Zhao Aman was indeed tired.Back at the inn, Wang Qi saw Zhao Aman yawning, and sent him back to sleep without asking him to wait on him.

After a brief grooming, Wang Qi also fell asleep.

Because both of them were tired, they slept in darkness this time, and Wang Qi didn't get up lazily until the sun was high.

Zhao Aman also got up late, but fortunately the master and servant lived in an inner and outer room, which was convenient for serving.Seeing Wang Qi get up, Zhao Aman hastily served him face wash water and waited for him to wash.

After a brief lunch in the inn, Wang Qi didn't see Dong Jue's figure, so he asked, "Where's Dong Jue?"

"I heard from the Dong family that Mr. Dong hasn't come back yet." Zhao Aman said.

Wang Qi was a little surprised: "Haven't come back yet? Did something happen?"

"There should be nothing wrong." Zhao Aman said, "If something happened, the Dong family would have come to inform you."

Wang Qi thinks about it too. It is estimated that Dong Jue passed out drunk in some gentle village. It is not unheard of in Pingyao County.Thinking of how Dong Jue hurt his cousin before, Wang Qi scorned him severely in her heart.
