Chapter 24 Gifts, Boys

"Lingbao, come here, we are leaving."

Cheng Yun called out to Lingbao who was fascinated.

After leaving Miao Ren Tang, Ling Bao asked curiously: "Big brother, did you sell the snake? How much did you sell it for?"

Cheng Yun smiled and stretched out two fingers.

Lingbao was a little disappointed: "Two cents, then we can't buy gloves, and we can't buy meat either."

Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"It's not two coins, it's two hundred coins."

Lingbao's eyes widened suddenly, and he cupped his face in both hands: "Two hundred Wen, that's a lot! We're rich now!"

Cheng Yi said: "What kind of money is this? In the past, there was not even enough money for a meal."

Lingbao was even more shocked, two hundred cash is not enough for a meal, but they can eat a meal with a few cash, and they can live a year with three or four taels of silver.

The king said: "Your second brother is nothing. There was a corrupt official in the previous dynasty. He got a few hundred taels for a meal."

At that time, it ate all the remaining swallow-fin abalone. It was so delicious.

Lingbao opened her mouth wide, it was hard to imagine what kind of meal cost hundreds of taels of silver, she felt that she had never thought of it in her life.

"Second brother, how much do you spend for a meal?"

Cheng Yi said: "As many as seven or eight taels, as few as two or three taels."

But this is also rare.

It's not that they have to go to the big restaurant to eat every time they come back, and they all take turns to treat guests, so they never catch a sheep and squeeze it hard.

Lingbao asked: "Do you want to eat roasted leg of lamb with bird's nest and fish carp?"

She still remembered the three dishes that Cheng Yun told Cheng Yi last time.

Cheng Yi smiled viciously: "Yes, it's the three things you haven't eaten before."

"Hmph, big brother said, he will buy food for me in the future." Lingbao was not fooled at all.

Of course, another reason is that she has never eaten it at all, so she doesn't know how delicious it is, and she doesn't know how delicious it is. Can you still expect her to be "jealous"?

Because the snake sale went smoothly unexpectedly, they suddenly had a lot more time, so Cheng Yun planned to take a good look around the county.

Although Feng'an County is not rich, it is the place where they will live for many years in the future.

"Brother, let's go eat first, I'm too hungry." Cheng Yi said.

Lingbao looked at him with sparkling eyes, she was also hungry!
Cheng Yun smiled and said yes, and walked towards a restaurant naturally, but changed his mind before entering the door.

"Brother, go in, why are you standing there?"

Cheng Yun said: "When I entered the city, I saw many food stalls and restaurants on the side of the road, let's go to those places."

Restaurant stuff is always expensive.

Two hundred coins is not a lot of money, so we still need to save a little.

Cheng Yi was extremely disappointed, thinking that he could finally have a big meal.

I found a noodle stall on the side of the road. A bowl of noodles only costs ten renminbi, and a spoon full of mincemeat is delicious.

Originally, Cheng Yi was still disgusted, but he ate it after a few mouthfuls, and he still couldn't get enough of it.

The boss is conscientious, high quality and low price. The bowl is bigger than Lingbao's face. She has a small appetite, and after eating half of it, her belly bulges up, round like a ball.

"The king can eat better than you." Cheng Yi said, "Eat so little, no wonder you are short."

The king ate a bowl of noodles by himself, and the bottom of the bowl was licked clean, and he could even have another bowl!
Lingbao hiccupped, covered his mouth in embarrassment, and said, "I'm a child, and children are short."

"Second brother, do you dislike me?"

Cheng Yi got stuck for a moment: "I hate it."

Lingbao moved the bowl closer to him: "Then you can't eat what I have left."

"Why should I eat your leftovers?" Cheng Yi rolled his eyes.

"Because second brother, you haven't had enough." Lingbao said.

She was quick-witted and noticed that Cheng Yi didn't show a satiated expression, and even peeked at the boss below.

"I'm not full, can't I buy a new bowl?"

"That's right, you can buy a new one!" Lingbao was stunned for a while, and then said, "But it needs money."

"Then I won't eat other people's leftovers."

He has never eaten other people's leftovers in his life, and it's not disgusting enough.

Lingbao was in a dilemma: "Then what should I do, don't waste it." She was annoyed, "I should bring a bowl, and I can continue to eat in the evening!"

The calf was pulled, Lingbao bowed his head, the king's sky blue eyes were full of longing: You can't eat it, let me eat it, I can finish it meow!

"My lord, do you want to eat? Don't you despise me?"

Your Majesty: "Of course I don't dislike it."

Ling Baoke happily poured the noodles to the king, and the king buried himself in the meal.

"My lord, you are so kind." Ling Bao hugged it and said quietly, "Shall I lick your fur at night?"

Cheng Yun coughed lightly: "I heard it."

Ling Bao smiled guiltyly: "Hey, big brother heard wrong, I didn't want to lick the king's fur!"

Cheng Yun had a headache. He found Lingbao wanted to lick the king several times, but he didn't know why he was so persistent.

"If you dare to lick, I will be angry." He threatened.

Lingbao: "Brother, don't be angry, I won't lick it anymore."

Cheng Yun rubbed her head: "Be good."

After eating, the three siblings went shopping.

I bought some rice, noodles, vegetables and condiments, and two catties of meat. As for the gloves, let's forget about them first, but Cheng Yun bought a pair of small shoes for Lingbao, with two small flowers embroidered on the upper.

Just this pair of shoes cost 25 Wen.

Lingbao hugged her tightly in her arms, reluctant to let go, this is her first gift, so expensive!
"Your Majesty, look quickly, Big Brother bought it for me, does it look good?"

The king nodded perfunctorily: "It looks good."

I have asked seventy or eighty times, but I haven't asked enough.

"Is it the best looking shoe you've ever seen?"

"Yes, yes, the most beautiful thing in the world."

Lingbao laughed foolishly, hugged Cheng Yun suddenly, rubbed his cheek against his hand, his eyes seemed to be bright: "Lingbao likes big brother the most."

"Brother also likes Lingbao." Cheng Yun patted her on the head.

When the agreed time came, they walked outside the city gate.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes, and they gradually approached.

The reddish-brown horse stepped into the city gate with steady steps. Its fur is smooth and smooth, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance.

The boy on horseback was seven or eight years old, wearing a small white jade crown with hair on his head, a red cloud-patterned arrow sleeve, and an indigo kylin jade palace belt tied around his waist. When he moved, the tassels were as light as willow branches. swing.

The young man's eyebrows are like ink, his eyes are like stars, and his whole body is arrogant and precious.

Beside him was an eleven or twelve-year-old servant, trotting all the way with a crane cloak in his hand, and said with a sad face: "My lord, can you put on the crane cloak? If you get caught in the wind and cold, the little one will die." Let go of the blame."

The boy took it impatiently: "I've been nagging all the way, but I don't feel dry."

The little servant laughed and said, "As long as you can listen to my little one, it's worth what you say."

The boy put on his belt, turned to the side of the road, and saw a girl with round eyes looking at him curiously.

Seeing him looking at her, Lingbao blinked, and immediately burst into the most brilliant and sweet smile.

hello.
