There are flowers and wine, hoeing and farming

Chapter 34

The children couldn't stand it anymore after staying at home for a few days. Zhiwen begged his mother for a long time before he got the chance to go out to play, followed by Niu Gui and Liniang, with a time limit of two hours.

Although very dissatisfied, the children nodded desperately.Qiaoqiao was a little hesitant, she stepped forward and grabbed her aunt's hand and said, "Auntie, you and mother should go together, let's play together."

Ning Weiyun hugged Qiaoqiao: "Auntie is not going, you guys have fun, remember to be good with your brother, don't run around, and come back when the time is right. Liniang, take care of them."

"Then I won't go, I'll stay with my aunt at home." Qiaoqiao looked at her aunt's slightly tired expression with reluctance.

"Good boy, Auntie doesn't want to go out, you can go, it's fine, Auntie will wait for you to come back to have dinner together at night." Ning Weiyun pressed her face against Qiaoqiao's and rubbed her affectionately.

"Mother..." Zhiwen stepped forward and took Mother's hand: "Let's go out to play together. Don't sit at home all the time, move around a bit, let Auntie accompany you, let's go together."

At this time, Ning also interjected: "Sister, let's go out to relax, you will get sick if you hold back at home. Besides, I finally came here, and I haven't gone out for a stroll yet."

Ning Weiyun felt tired all over and didn't want to go anywhere, but seeing her relatives looking at her expectantly, she nodded.

Now the team expanded even more, and Liniang was very happy, so she simply brought some snacks, preparing to eat outside when she came back late.The mighty group of people set off like this.

At this time, the street was very lively, and a few people went there in a carriage, but Ning Weiyun felt that it would be unpleasant for the children to stay in the carriage, so he proposed to put the carriage aside, and they got out of the carriage and walked together .

After a while, Zhiwen and Zhiyuan, who were walking in the front, jumped back with a lot of snacks and gadgets.

"Here." Zhiwen and Zhiyuan handed over something alone, and Qiaoqiao took them all, sour cake on the left and sticky sugar on the right.

There are no festivals in this season, so Qiaoqiao can't see the legendary jugglers, those who eat fire, those who fencing, there are nowhere, on the street, there are only various small vendors displaying some gadgets, and there are some challenges. Occasionally, Qiaoqiao couldn't help covering her ears as she passed by a few peddlers selling things along the street. The voices of these people were definitely the high-pitched voices of the original ecology, which made her ears itch.

The aunt on the left, the mother on the right, the cousin and brother in front, and Liniang, they walked happily.

"Qiaoqiao, this." Cheng Zhiyuan turned around and waved to Qiaoqiao, signaling her to come over.

"Here you are." Cheng Zhiyuan grabbed his younger sister's hand and stuffed something in it before walking quickly. Qiaoqiao looked down blankly and saw that it was a hair rope made of several brightly colored strings. There is also a fluffy fur ball, which looks very cute, especially suitable for little girls.

Qu Zhiwen smiled and tugged at Qiaoqiao's braid, and said, "Your brother bought it for you, does it hurt you?"

"En." Qiaoqiao smiled happily.

"Little girl, don't smile so ugly. Learn from others. You have to smile without showing your teeth, or you won't be able to get married." Qu Zhiwen knocked his cousin on the head again, feeling very comfortable, and took the opportunity to knock a few more times.

"Those who smile without showing their teeth have ugly teeth. Look at me, what a beautiful millet tooth. Everyone likes it when it is exposed. Cousin, what do you know?" Qiaoqiao hurriedly jumped two steps away to prevent him from knocking again. His own head, said disdainfully.

Zhiwen looked at Qiaoqiao's puffy little appearance, which was much better than the pretentious ladylike attitude of those sisters and sisters at home. The more he looked at it, the more innocent and innocent he felt, which gave him a natural and comfortable feeling. He stepped forward and took her hand, and said with a smile: "What else do you want, my cousin will buy one for you too."

Qiaoqiao asked suspiciously: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. As long as it's not too expensive, no more than two taels of silver, I can buy it for you." Zhiwen touched the purse in his pocket and said.

Qiaoqiao smash it, smash it, baby, two liang of silver is enough for their family for a long time. Sure enough, the consumption concept of the rich second generation is incomparable to that of a poor daughter like myself.

She looked around and saw a colorful pile of things not far in front of her, which was extremely attractive. She took Qu Zhiwen's hand and ran forward: "Go there."

This is a stall selling gadgets, with cobblestones, glazed beads, nine chains, sachets filled with spices, mud whistles, and all kinds of small toys that can't be seen how to play.

Qiaoqiao took a look, and under the peddler's friendly introduction, she took a Jiulianhuan. She had heard of this most famous educational toy in ancient times before, and today she was not very interested in anything else except this one.

"Do you want this?" Zhiwen paid ten cents, but felt that it was not enough, looked forward, and walked over with Qiaoqiao.

"Hurry up." Cheng Zhiyuan urged them from the front.

"Choose one."

When I stopped in front of the booth, Qiaoqiao had some black lines. All the products sold here were rouge and gouache. How old was she, so I had to buy these for her.She shook her head and was about to leave.

"what happened?"

"I don't want these."

"But it's not good to be disgusted?" Zhiwen asked in distress. His older sisters also use these, but they probably use high-end ones.

"How old am I, you want me to buy it." Qiaoqiao couldn't help but despise him.

"But my younger sister has used it, and she has powdered it during several banquets." Zhiwen didn't care about these things, but he still had an impression when he recalled them.

"How old is your sister?" Qiaoqiao's mouth twitched.

"A little older than you, eight years old."

Qiaoqiao is a little helpless, such a small child doesn't need makeup at all, isn't it more beautiful to be natural?
"Ma'am, let's go to the river to have a rest." Liniang pointed to the river bank not far away.

"Okay." Ning Weiyun nodded. Ning saw that it was very quiet there, and then she was about to call the three children in front, when she heard a bustling sound ahead.

The pedestrians and small vendors in front quickly retreated to both sides of the street. Ning Weiyun frowned, took her sister's hand, and immediately retreated to the side: "Liniang, go and watch the children, hurry up."

"Okay." Liniang walked forward, wanting to greet a few children to come in.

Qu Zhiwen also heard the commotion, he looked at it, and shouted at Cheng Zhiyuan: "Xiao Yuan, step aside." Then he pulled Qiaoqiao and also backed away. Suddenly, the street was very chaotic, especially It was the hawkers who set up stalls, desperately packing their things, and running around in a panic.It was not easy for Liniang to move forward, but she felt relieved when she saw that the children were hiding inside.

Qu Zhiwen embraced Qiaoqiao, protecting her in his arms, avoiding the crowd around her from bumping into her.

Although the crowd was crowded and a little flustered, Qiaoqiao felt very safe because Qu Zhiwen was protecting her very tightly. Looking out from the room, several horses trotted over slowly, surrounded by officers and soldiers wearing some light armor, the men on the horses were all young, the first few were around fifteen or sixteen years old, although they were just riding on horses so simply, These boys still give people a strong sense of oppression, which is a kind of thing that exudes from the bones raised in the environment of power and money since childhood. A boy riding a horse behind was the boy named Li Yuanchen they had rescued when they came.

At this moment, he has long since lost the downcastness of those days. The brown silk clothes set off his expressionless little face a little more stern, following these people behind him, the dazzling light is almost impossible to look at directly.

Although the horses were only trotting, they passed by them very quickly. When there was only dust left in the distance, the people around them started to move again. It seemed that they were used to this kind of situation, and no one talked about it. , It is still what to do.

Both Ning Weiyun and Ning Shi walked up to them, touched them and asked, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, my cousin protects me very tightly, I'm fine at all." Qiaoqiao turned around and smiled at her mother.

Ning looked at her nephew who was talking to her sister, and was distracted for a moment.

"Mother." Cheng Zhiyuan also walked over and grabbed her sleeve.

Ning grabbed her son and daughter and asked in a low voice: "You guys, what did you see just now?"

Qiaoqiao nodded: "I saw that brother who was rescued by us when he came."

"Hey, don't tell anyone, okay?"

Qiaoqiao and Cheng Zhiyuan were a little puzzled, but fortunately they were very obedient and nodded silently.After being dazed for a while, Qiaoqiao realized that her mother was worried that the boy did not seem to be from a wealthy family at the moment, and what happened to him when he was down and out might be regarded as a shame he wanted to forget , Thinking of this, Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously: "Mother, I understand, don't worry."

Seeing that the pair of sons and daughters were very sensible, Ning felt relieved.

After arriving at the river bank, Liniang opened the small bag that she had been carrying all along. She first spread out a large cloth towel, and then put all the snacks she had brought on it.

The family sat in a circle around the cloth, and the three children naturally sat together.

"Mother, hold it for me." Qiaoqiao handed the hair rope and Jiulianhuan to Ning Shi: "My brother and watch bought it for me, you have to return it to me."

Ning couldn't laugh or cry: "Mother will help you take good care of it. It's fine, and I will definitely return it to you."

"Qiaoqiao, I'll eat this for you." Qu Zhiwen took out a small pouch from his sleeve, and took out a few black pill-like beads from it.

Qiaoqiao licked it, it was sweet and sour, like made of tangerine peel, after swallowing it, she spread her hands and asked: "I still want to eat."

"It's all for you, bring your purse." Qu Zhiwen ordered generously.

Qiaoqiao was not polite, and took out the big purse that she sewed herself from her bosom. It was empty and contained nothing.

As soon as she took it out, Qu Zhiwen was stunned: "This is a purse?"

Qiaoqiao nodded: "Yes."

Qu Zhiwen quickly understood, pointed at Qiaoqiao, and burst out laughing: "Did you sew it yourself?"

Qiaoqiao's face began to turn black.

"Hahahahaha..." Qu Zhiwen rolled on the cloth exaggeratedly, turning over and over again: "It's really ugly, hahaha, it's really ugly, it's so ugly."

Qiaoqiao was in a hurry, and the adults were all smiling at them. No one helped her. She stood up all of a sudden, rushed forward, pressed Qu Zhiwen hard, and pinched his neck with her hands: "Laugh again? Still laugh ?”

She bared her teeth and cracked her mouth like a cat with fried hair. Qu Zhiwen couldn't hold it back, his face flushed, and he tried his best to hold back his nod: "No, laugh."

Qiaoqiao let go, snorted, decided on her own, and poured all the Doudou from that delicate purse into her own large purse.
