The Unruly Princess: Regent, please hug me

Chapter 761 The Apple Seller

"Thank you, guest officer. I don't want a reward. This food box is the best reward. Thank you." Xiao Er was so happy that her face turned red, and she kept looking at the food box in her hand, unable to believe it.

"You like to eat things that get drunk first?" Shen Qiqi was so excited to see Xiao Er that she was at a loss what to do, holding the food box was like holding a precious gem, she was not willing to shake it a little bit, she was a little funny.

"The things that are drunk first are so expensive. How can I afford them? I just passed by and smelled the aroma. There are three younger brothers and sisters in my family. Today I got such a precious gift from the guest officer. I want to take it home and share it with them. I am a family member." The eldest, the family relies on me and my mother to support the family, and my father passed away very early, so it will cost me a month's money for a drunk meal in Huaxian."

Xiao Er was so happy that she lost her mind, and told Shen Qiqi about herself, and Shen Qiqi also used it to pass the time, continuing to talk to Xiao Er: "Where do you live?"

"My family lives in the south of the city, nine miles away from here. The monthly fee here is higher than other places. Even if it is very tiring to walk every day, I still have to come here to work..." Xiaoer said a little emotionally, thinking of his younger siblings , just kept talking, halfway through, finally realized his gaffe, Shen Qiqi is a distinguished guest of the inn, not someone who can listen to him casually.

"It doesn't matter, I want to hear everything you say. That's right, you are a good brother. If that's the case, you can take it back and feed it to your younger brothers and sisters later. They will definitely think that your brother is amazing, and they will get drunk before eating flowers." snacks." Shen Qiqi smiled and encouraged Xiao Er, Xiao Er didn't look very old, maybe eighteen at most.

"Wait, you can take this money as well, as long as you don't tell others, I gave it to you." Shen Qiqi was also out of habit and didn't want others to know her whereabouts, and Xiao Er was also a smart person. Just one click.

"Don't worry, I won't say it. In fact, I don't dare to show it off." Xiaoer bowed again to thank him, Shen Qiqi shook his head at him, it was just a food box, and in exchange for such sincere gratitude, Shen Qiqi I feel very comfortable.

"Thank you, I have to wait until tomorrow morning to take it back to them." Xiao Er thanked Shen Qiqi repeatedly before leaving, Shen Qiqi watched Xiao Er leave, tired after a day of tossing around.

Go to bed early, and the next morning, the inn delivered a delicious breakfast. After Shen Qiqi ate, he changed into another set of men's clothing and another human skin mask. Leaving traces behind, Shen Qiqi finished her breakfast and felt bored sitting in the inn, so she went out for a walk.

She is very familiar with Tianyue's capital city. I don't know how many times she has sneaked out with Yueling and Qi Zhao. She is very familiar with many streets. During the walk, she almost forgot when she heard the shouts and noises one after another. Comfortable and relaxing.

Shen Qiqi didn't want to eat either, she was worried that she would forget the time when she ate, so she consciously walked to the ancient painting workshop, a familiar place, the old ancient painting workshop, how lively it was, the girls who came and went would buy things here For Mr. Poe’s paintings, he either bought embroidery samples, or exchanged all kinds of gossip information. The ancient painting workshop was the center of the capital at that time. Not only girls, but even the sons of various families would come to the ancient painting workshop to taste fragrant tea. Be nice and chat.

In the current ancient painting workshop, the weeping willows in front of the door are still there, but it is covered with dust, and the ancient painting workshop has also been closed. The place where the cars and horses used to be noisy is now so deserted that there are only hawkers squatting at the door selling apples. If Shen Qi Qi didn't come here before, remembering the prosperity here, she really couldn't imagine that there used to be Mr. Dongpo, who made half of the girls in the capital crazy.

"Master, let's buy an apple. Look, the apple is big and sweet, but it's delicious." Seeing Shen Qiqi staring at the house behind him in a daze, the peddler in front of the door picked up an apple and beckoned to Shen Qiqi Business, Shen Qiqi looked down at the apples, blue and yellow apples, small and wrinkled, not at all attractive, how could anyone buy this kind of apples?

The peddler's body was thin and shrunk into a ball, his face was covered with the color of wind and dust, as if the dust that came and went had also imprinted on his face, his back was raised high, he was a hunchback, Shen Qiqi felt pity in his heart, although I don't want to eat it, so I still want to buy it all, and at worst give it to the little girl.

"My apples are delicious. You will definitely want to eat them again after eating them." Seeing that Shen Qiqi didn't intend to buy them, the peddler changed his voice to a low and seductive voice, and a gentle and low-pitched voice. Shen Qiqi was stunned. He stopped, his whole body froze, and looked at the peddler.

The peddler was half a head shorter than her, and he didn't have the shadow of the person Shen Qiqi knew, but the voice told Shen Qiqi that he would never admit his mistake, and the other person's eyes had already told Shen Qiqi that she didn't admit his mistake, it was because she knew him that person.

"Do you want to buy apples? I still have a lot at home. If you want to buy some, I can take you to have a look." That person's voice lowered a lot, and Shen Qiqi reconfirmed that it was that person.

"I want to buy a lot. Take me to your house. I'll buy all the apples you have." Shen Qiqi realized what the other party meant, so she raised her voice slightly and said to the peddler. Her eyes rolled around, but she didn't find anything suspicious. People, the peddler squatted down when he heard it, picked up a pole, picked up two loads of apples, and walked in front.

Shen Qiqi followed behind him, noticing that the apples in the basket were in very poor condition, they were not for sale at all, they were more for decoration, not for eating or selling.

The two followed one after the other to the backyard of the ancient painting workshop. Shen Qiqi originally thought that he would take him to the backyard of the ancient painting workshop, but he didn't expect him to go to the small yard one mile west of the backyard, not a big small yard , with a bamboo fence to separate the distance from the outside world, things are organized very clean and tidy, two apple trees are planted in the yard, the trunks of the apple trees are extremely thick, and the crowns of the trees extend above the house, blocking the scorching light.

Shen Qiqi looked up at the apple tree, yearning in her heart, if she could live freely in the future, it would be great to have such a place for herself to live in.

The little apples were already hanging on the branches, they were verdant and lovely, Shen Qiqi couldn't help reaching out to pick them, the peddler said something to stop Shen Qiqi.

"Do not move."

Shen Qiqi withdrew her hand awkwardly, and nodded to the peddler. The peddler pointed to the house, asking Shen Qiqi to follow her in. Shen Qiqi withdrew her gaze and followed the peddler in. The house was made of wood and bamboo, although it was summer and summer outside. Autumn is hot and dry, but after coming in, there is no feeling of hot and dry. Apple trees bring not only shade, but also a touch of fruity fragrance.

What was completely inconsistent with the peddler's appearance was that the walls were covered with portraits of various contents, with gorgeous brushwork and exquisite composition. Shen Qiqi was very familiar with this style of painting, and when facing the peddler, he tried his best to hide his excitement.
