Chapter 71 Orchid Hairpin

Qiao Muyao sniffed carefully and finally smelled a faint woody fragrance.

I took out the silver needle and poked it, but there was no change.

He picked up the chopsticks on the table and picked up a few grains of rice. He put it in his mouth and tasted it, but found that he couldn't taste any peculiar smell at all.

"How did you notice it?"

Qiao Muyao stared at her in surprise, thinking that this girl is not very young, but she is quite capable.

Shaoqing put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said with a sullen face: "If you guessed correctly, this should be caused by stupor. Although it will not kill people immediately, long-term use will make people's brains gradually dull and their bodies gradually become rigid. , eventually paralyzed into a living dead like wood..."

If she hadn't reminded her, she really wouldn't have been able to eat it. Qiao Muyao couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, she reminded her in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!

An Jingchen stood up with a sullen face and turned around, finding that there was no suspicious person outside.

Then he returned to the house and said: "Such a thing happened when we first arrived at Laiyang Mansion. Although we don't know the other party's intention, but the other party's intentions are sinister, we have to guard against it. Since Muzhengsan has to be taken for a long time, there will definitely be a next time. This time, please don’t alert the enemy.”

When she thought of sleeping on that little arhat bed for a month or two, Shaoqing became furious, "If you're not afraid of thieves, you're just afraid that thieves will miss you. Now that you know the other party's intentions, why bother yourself? Why don't we find him again?" Stay at the inn."

Qiao Muyao simply couldn't agree more, "Yes, if it lasts only a day or two, we can make do with it, but this stay only lasts for a month or two. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so there is no need to waste time with them."

It's not that An Jingchen hasn't thought about it, but it's not as good as at home. Although she knows that she has some money, it is definitely a big expense for the three of them to stay in Laiyang Mansion for a month or two.

Seeing him like this, he must be worried about the money. Qiao Muchao smiled lightly, "You don't have to worry about the money. I'll take care of it!"

"What should I do with this meal? I'm hungry!" Shao Qing muttered dissatisfiedly.

Listening to what she just said, I always felt that there was an ancient soul living in this girl's little body.

Seeing her cute pouting appearance, Qiao Muyao felt that she was thinking too much, she was clearly a child.

"We must not eat any more food. We have to deal with it secretly to avoid alerting others!" An Jingchen said with a gloomy look: "I just ate dry food and I'm not very hungry. Why don't you take her out to eat something?" "

Just when Qiao Mu Yao had this intention, she took out the oil paper bag for snacks and packed the food, and then she took Shao Qing out.

This was the first time she came to a big city like Laiyang Mansion since time travel. Walking on this antique and lively street, looking at the hurried pedestrians and listening to the shouts one after another, Qiao Muyao suddenly felt a sense of detachment.

Maybe I have stayed in the small mountain village for too long, and I always feel as if I have returned to the city where I was in my previous life...

Laiyang Mansion is many times larger than Fengxi City. Looking at this bustling street, Shaoqing was particularly excited.

After wandering aimlessly for a long time, Qiao Muyao found a noodle restaurant, and the two sat down and ordered a bowl of noodles and soup dumplings.

There were two little girls about seven or eight years old in the noodle shop. They were collecting the dishes and cleaning the table with quick hands and feet. Shaoqing was staring at the pearl flowers on other people's heads with his big round eyes open.

He hadn't bought any jewelry for this girl yet, so seeing the envious look on her face, Qiao Muyao felt a little guilty.

After eating, she decided to take Shao Qing to a jewelry store. There happened to be a jewelry store opposite the noodle shop.There were several carriages parked at the door. It seemed that this jewelry shop was quite popular in Laiyang Mansion.When she walked to the door, Qiao Muyao looked up and found the words "Cuibao Pavilion" written in flying colors on the plaque.

Although the waiter in the shop is not as enthusiastic as in Fengxi County, there are many customers. The waiter does not come up to talk to him, and seems to be free to buy or not.

Qiao Muyao took Shao Qing to the counter selling pearl flowers and velvet flowers, intending to choose some pearl flowers for her to wear.But this girl didn't even look at it and went straight to the jade counter next to her.

The things in this city are complete, regardless of the texture of the jade, the color is green, yellow, white, ink...

Shaoqing caught the eye of the white magnolia hairpin. She stood on tiptoes and stretched out her chubby little hands to reach for it. Her slender jade fingers, as white as jade, got the jade hairpin first.

Not to be outdone, Shaoqing stretched out her hand to grab it, "I was the first to take a fancy to this hosta!"

"you?"

This woman, who is about fourteen or fifteen years old, has a delicate and small oval face, and her jade-white skin seems to be broken by a blow.The bright eyes like autumn water under the curved eyebrows have a hint of anger.

There are several fine jade hairpins on her ink-dyed black hair. She wears a lavender Sichuan brocade dress, which highlights her waist just right. She has a woven gauze shawl of the same color on her arms, making her look very noble. .

The woman had a light scent of lotus. She glanced at Shao Qing with disdain, "This is Lantian white jade, can you afford it?"

This person was dressed luxuriously, so it looked like he was from a wealthy family, but he didn't expect that his words would be so mean.

Qiao Muyao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Girl, don't underestimate me. How do you know we can't afford it?"

"Haha, look at how poor you are, do you need others to look down on you?" The maid next to the woman said with a smile: "If you are sensible, get out of the way. Maybe my lady will reward you with a few cents if she is happy! "

"Bah! What a dog looking down on people!"

Shaoqing stared at her, and said ferociously: "At first I wanted to give it to your lady, but your annoying dog barking made me feel uncomfortable. If this is the case, I don't have to give up this hairpin." , bring it to me!"

Shao Qing stretched out his hand in front of her and said reluctantly, "Looking at you like this, you know that a young lady from a wealthy family actually robbed one of my children. It would not be nice if word spread!"

"You are the dog, and your whole family are dogs!"

The maid said angrily, "You haven't even paid the money, so how can you count it as robbery?"

"How dare you call my whole family dogs!"

Shaoqing's big round eyes immediately widened like bells. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, very good, you will have to pay the price for these words sooner or later!"

It was the first time I saw Shaoqing so angry. Qiao Muyao was wondering, but she clenched her hands into fists and said angrily: "It's really flattering you to say you're a dog. If you have the ability, you can report yourself. See if I don’t deal with you in the future!”

"Haha, you don't even know my lady, how can you have the nerve to talk nonsense? It's really embarrassing!" The maid took out a purse from her sleeves and threw it in front of the two of them, "I'm too lazy to argue with you, just take these copper coins and hurry up get out!"
