I sold snacks in ancient times

That night, they stayed in a well-decorated inn.When Yin Xu arrived in Bianjing, he never showed his face in front of people again, following Qi Yongfan's appearance, he also put on a veil.

Qi Yongfan wore the veil because of a guilty conscience, after all, Qi Yong used to be in the capital, and this place is so close to the emperor's feet, there is no guarantee that any acquaintances will recognize him, it's better to be careful.

As for why Yin Xu wears a veil...Qi Yongfan thought to himself, probably because they all came here to escape military service.There is no harm in being cautious.

After paying the rent, the nimble Xiaoer carried the luggage to the room.Because the package containing the bicycle was too heavy, he grinned for a while, with blue veins popping out on his forehead.However, the distance between two flights of stairs made him sweat.

Qi Yongfan couldn't see it, even a penny-pinching iron rooster like him gave a reward of [-] coins, and threw it into the heart of the second hand, and greeted a big and grateful smile.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door, a long-sealed stuffy smell rushed into his nostrils, making Qi Yongfan sneeze in fright.

Xiao Er turned her head, smiled apologetically, and said, "I'll call someone to clean it for you."

Qi Yongfan gave another reward, "I will replace the bedding with new ones."

Xiao Er weighed the weight in his hand, and said happily: "Okay, you go downstairs to have a pot of tea first, without a stick of incense, I promise to make arrangements for you."

Qi Yongfan responded, he happened to be hungry, so he called Yin Xu and Ye Zi to go down to eat together.

Considering the scale of this inn, it doesn't look like there are any good meat and dishes.Since the three of them went out to seek refuge, they didn't want to make a public statement, so they didn't choose a high-end residence, and came in after looking at a small shop at random.

Ye Zi was afraid that Yin Xu would not be used to it, so she suggested to find a nearby restaurant for dinner.Qi Yongfan also had the same idea, and immediately nodded in agreement.

It was completely dark when we walked out.Biancheng is still brightly lit, densely packed with shops, bustling streets, and red flags of noodle restaurants fluttering in the wind.

They walked into the East Market, where there are many supper stalls, and the aroma of the food is still tempting.

There are even seafood shipped from the coastal areas. A world-famous canal has been built in Biancheng, and the waterway transportation is convenient.Most of those fish and shrimp are still alive and kicking in the bucket.

The waiter was busy pouring and changing the water, speaking with an unfamiliar Biancheng accent, not forgetting to attract passers-by, shouting one after another.

Finally, they entered a large restaurant called "Ruyi Restaurant" and asked for a private room on the second floor.

Qi Yongfan sat down on the stool, ordered first, and read as if singing: "Fresh meatballs, fried quail, Luohan tofu, almond bergamot, wine crab stuffed with oranges, white lotus cake, stewed crucian carp soup, muddy Yang Shihu, plum blossom soup cakes, a fruit platter, fried cabbage..."

The elder brother who was remembering the food at the side was already breaking out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Young master, please speak slowly."

Yin Xu frowned slightly, "I ordered so much, can I finish it?"

Qi Yongfan rolled his eyes at him, "It's not you who paid the money."

During this month of running around, Qi Yongfan basically had nothing to do with fruits and vegetables.He touched the pimple on his forehead distressedly, thinking that he must eat more to make up for it tonight.

There are many new things in Biancheng, and trade with neighboring countries is maintained here, such as perfume, Persian carpets, etc., which are sold everywhere on the street.The dishes are also very good. Qi Yongfan also ordered a few seafood dishes, which were very enjoyable.

During the period, I went to the toilet. When I came back, Qi Yongfan was about to pay the bill, but he heard from the shop boy that he had already paid.

He asked Yin Xu, "Didn't you say I'll pay for this?"

Yin Xu was eating steamed tea bowls and making dessert after dinner. Hearing this, he raised his head and said indifferently: "It's only a small amount of money, between you and me, why bother so much."

Qi Yongfan thought about it too, but it would cost hundreds of taels of silver to order so many dishes, so he felt embarrassed, thinking that he must invite him back next time.

After eating, the three of them went downstairs and wandered around the market.Occasionally, there would be a circus dance, with the sound of gongs and drums, Qi Yongfan would stop to watch it, thinking it was interesting, he threw two coins as a reward.

Yin Xu seemed to be used to such a prosperous place for a long time, standing aside, but not watching the play, his eyes fell on Qi Yongfan.

Ye Zi has always been raised by Lao Miao in the countryside, but it is rare to see these things, and now she looks like a child, and Qi Yongfan holds a candied haws, smiling like peach blossoms.

For some reason, seeing such a scene, Yin Xu's mood improved a lot unconsciously.

The night market is lively, and vendors are not stingy with the lamp oil money.Especially those pavements, with several sticks of oil wax as thick as a child's arm burning, illuminating the whole street brightly.

Walking to the front, Qi Yongfan suddenly saw a man in plain clothes sitting kneeling on the ground, with a plaque next to it, which read "Selling one's body to bury one's mother".

The onlookers surrounded him with three layers and three layers outside, all pointing and pointing, but they couldn't say anything good.

Qi Yongfan also found it new, he had only heard of women selling themselves, and this was the first time he had seen an ancient man selling himself.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged woman with a big belly, dressed in fancy clothes, gold and silver, and said in a rough voice: "What kind of prostitution are you doing?"

The man was handsome, and now he bent his head under the ground, and said in a low voice, "As long as you give the funeral mother money, I can ask Xiaosheng to do whatever he wants..."

The mother-in-law nodded in satisfaction, "How much does it cost?"

Qi Yongfan came late, thanks to his height, he could see clearly from behind.There was chatter from the crowd.

"It's a rare thing for a good man to sell himself instead of doing some serious things."

"Even if you sell some creepers, you can earn a lot of money, which is enough to bury your mother."

"That woman, did you see that, isn't it the famous Widow Wu in Biancheng who, thanks to her wealth, has already raised a third-bedroom male pet at home..."

The corner of Qi Yongfan's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that in Biancheng, the folk customs were so aggressive.Ordinary widows, if they do this kind of deed, they are afraid that they will be immersed in a pig cage by the villagers.

But the widow Wu in front of her lived the appearance of a representative of women's rights, like a man with three wives and four concubines, happy and happy.

"300 taels of silver." The man lowered his head and said.

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd boiled again.

"How much do you want 300 taels? I'm afraid this person is not trying to bury his mother, but making money!"

"A mere coffin costs a few hundred cash, so how can you use so much?"

Someone also advised Widow Wu, "Don't be deceived by him. If you spend money to invite you home, and run away in a few days, it's not a big loss."

However, Widow Wu seemed to be confused by the man's beauty, she became obsessed for a moment, took out five hundred taels of banknotes from her bosom, threw them on the man, and said loudly: "What's your name? You will follow me from now on." stop!"

The man whispered: "My name is Luo, one word at a time."

"Oh, that Widow Wu is at the age of a wolf and a tiger. This kid looks weak and weak, and I don't know if he can bear it!" Someone shook his head and lamented.

Qi Yongfan stood behind him, and he couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this.

I don't know if it was laughter or what the reason was, the man suddenly raised his head and happened to see Qi Yongfan.

The wind blew the black veil from the hat in front of him, revealing half of his face.

The man was taken aback, and couldn't help shouting: "Brother Qi!"

However, the crowd was noisy and Qi Yongfan had already left.

Yin Xu called him back, and said: "This place is not far from the capital, you have to be careful, don't run away."

"I just went to see the prostitute and bury the mother in front..." Qi Yongfan explained to himself, but felt that something was wrong, and said embarrassingly: "I won't do it next time."

Ye Zi couldn't help but said: "My lord has been looking for you for a long time, but I'm in a hurry."

Qi Yongfan smiled awkwardly, and when he continued to walk forward, he saw a men's headband with light blue bronzing gold, and asked the boss how much it would cost.

The boss said: "My headband is not cheap, it costs half a penny."

In the past, there were also small stalls selling hair bands in Nanshan Town, most of which only sold a dozen or twenty coins.Tailoring shops are a little more expensive, but it's just a few pieces of cloth, and they don't cost more than [-] yuan.

As soon as Qi Yongfan frowned, he began to bargain with the boss, and finally bought this hair tie for [-] yuan.

Yin Xu stood by the side and waited for a long time before saying, "If you want it, I'll buy it for you for half the price."

"Here, it's for you." Qi Yongfan stretched out the hair tie and handed it out.

Ye Zi was shocked, she didn't expect Qi Yongfan to give the things he bought in [-] Wen to his son...

Yin Xu was not angry, and even had a hint of joy in his heart. This was the second gift he received from Qi Yongfan.The first is the toothbrush given on my birthday.He was not willing to use it, and packed it in his carry-on bag, intending to treasure it.

He took the hair tie, played with it in his hands for a while, and said, "Thank you."

Qi Yongfan scratched his head, "I thought you would dislike it."

"No." Yin Xu looked serious, "I like it very much."

"Haha, I saw this hair tie just now, and somehow I thought it was very suitable for you, so I bought it impulsively... just as long as you like it."

Then he walked forward again, and Yin Xu bought candied fruit, dried meat, etc., saying that he was bored on the road, so he could eat to relieve boredom.

They set off for the capital tomorrow. Although Biancheng is close to Beijing, it takes nearly three hours to travel.

At last, he passed by a gold shop, and Yin Xu went in and bought a gold pendant, engraved with a delicate little rabbit, which was so vivid and cute.He gave the pendant to Qi Yongfan and said, "For you."

Now Qi Yongfan was embarrassing, he just casually gave a hairband of [-] Wen, but Yin Xu changed hands and returned a gold pendant that can only be bought with dozens of taels of silver.

And he happens to be a rabbit...

Seeing that Qi Yongfan refused to accept him, Yin Xu frowned and said: "Don't be disgusted, I will give you a better one next time."

"That's not what I meant." Qi Yongfan quickly waved his hand, "I just think it's too precious."

"Just a little thing."

Yin Xu stopped suddenly, untied the pendant, put it around Qi Yongfan's neck and put it on.

This place is already a sparsely populated place, and the lanterns on the side of the road shone on the faces of the two, showing a warm and delicate luster.

Qi Yongfan was born tall, Yin Xu had to raise his head slightly to put it on for him.When the buckle was finally fastened, it brushed against his left ear, and the two of them were very close, which seemed a little ambiguous.

Ye Zi couldn't help being stunned, for some reason, seeing the interaction between the two, he felt a little excited.

"Okay." Yin Xu straightened his clothes for him, and felt reluctant to let go when he let go.But he didn't show it, his face remained flat, and he said, "Let's go back."
