Ji Xiaowu held the porcelain cup and tried to mobilize his internal energy. ()
After a while, the water in the cup started to boil.
He was so excited that his face turned red: "It's burning, it's burning!"
Yang Shu glanced at it and nodded to Mingwei, indicating that he had a good grasp.
Ming smiled, turned around and called: "What a blessing!"
From the inner room separated by curtains, Duofu's timid voice came: "Miss."
"Stop hiding, come out."
After a while, the curtain was lifted, and Duofu walked out cautiously.
The clothes she wore were similar to Ji Xiaowu's style. It's obviously new clothes, but it has a few patches cut out.
Mingwei's eyes were on her face.
Duofu was worried when she looked at her and couldn't help lowering her head: "Isn't it good for me, slave? Why don't you wipe off the powder..."
After following the lady into this room, Duofu was pulled into the back room and smeared on his face.
Mingwei waved his hand and took the mirror next to him: "See for yourself."
Duofu was stunned when he saw the figure reflected in the mirror.
The tire marks on her face were covered up by something, revealing her original appearance. A girl of fourteen or fifteen years old is just when the buds are beginning to bloom, she is delicate and tender, and the breath of youth is blowing against her face.
"This, this is me?" Duofu muttered, stroking his face.
"This is you." Ming Wei smiled, "We are so blessed to be so beautiful, how could we not look good?"
Duofu looked at himself in the mirror, his heart slowly calmed down, and he smiled a little shyly: "In front of a lady, who dares to call her beautiful?"
Mingwei flicked his fingers: "That's right! That's how it feels! Remember, you are the maid chosen by Mrs. Guo for the young master. You are clumsy and tongue-tied, but you are loyal to the young master."
Duofu nodded quickly: "I remember this."
The master is in place, the maids are in place, and the play can begin.
……
The suburbs of Yunjing are more prosperous than ordinary towns.
The roads are spacious, the houses are well-groomed, there are many tourists, and there are many shops.
Clothing shops, medicine shops, food shops, silver shops, teahouses... and even fireworks alley.
Those travelers who come from afar are often attracted by the colorful world here before they arrive in the capital.
On this day, a young master came to the outskirts of Beijing.
Looking at him, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was handsome and handsome, and he looked rare in everything he looked at. There was a maid beside him, who also had a shy look on her face. She looked like she was going out for the first time.
The master and servant were dressed a little strangely. They were obviously well-dressed, but they had a few patches on them. It's just that both of them have good looks, so I don't think it's weird.
The young master looked left and right, wanting to touch and touch everything, so the maid had to hold her back from time to time.
While passing by a brothel, the flower girl standing on the roadside soliciting customers saw that he was handsome and wanted to pull him back. As a result, the maid glared at her hard several times, then pushed her casually, causing the flower girl to fall down.
A flower girl who comes out to solicit customers is certainly not a courtesan who holds her own status. She will act out whenever she is willing to do so.
The young master had probably never seen one before, so he was at a loss. In the end, he had to spend money to ward off the misfortune, and stuffed Hua Niang with a five-tael ingot.
The flower lady was then satisfied and let them leave.
As the ancients said, wealth should not be revealed in vain. The two chicks are so generous with their actions, how can they not keep an eye on them?
The young master continued shopping with his maid, unaware that several groups of people were following behind him.
After shopping around for a while, he was probably hungry, so the young master led the maid into a restaurant.
The waiter saw them dressed in bright clothes and came to entertain them attentively.
The young master simply opened his mouth and said: "Here you pick up the vegetables, take whatever you have." Then he threw out a dime of broken silver and said, "This is for you."
The waiter was overjoyed. This piece of silver was worth seven or eight dollars, which was worth ten days' wages!
"Wait a moment, young master, I'll go right away!"
After a while, the delicious food was served in a flowing stream. Lamb tongue pickles, hand-washed crabs, three delicacies, stir-fried quails with fresh bamboo shoots...we serve them with all our strength.
The young master ate with gusto and talked to the maid: "It's better to come out. At home, my parents always say that we should be frugal and not forget our roots. What's the point of living if we don't spend money!"
The maid frowned: "Sir, when are we going back?"
"You just came out, what are you going to do when you go back? Why don't you play Yunjing all over again!"
The two were talking when someone suddenly walked by and bumped into them.
"Ouch!" Before the young master could say anything, the man had already rushed up and patted the young master's clothes, "I'm so sorry, I accidentally bumped into you."
The young master pushed him away: "Nothing, you can go."
The man smiled and saluted: "You are really a great person, thank you."
After saying a few more polite words, he turned around and left.
The moment he turned sideways, a shout suddenly sounded: "Wait a minute!"
The young master turned his hand and grabbed his wrist.
The other party reacted very quickly, immediately pulled out his hand and ran away.
Unexpectedly, when I ran to the door, the maid suddenly rushed up to her. She didn't see any moves, so she just stretched out her hand and pushed.
"Crash!" The man bumped into a table, and the glasses of wine and food fell to the floor.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the shopkeeper came out and shouted: "Uncle, slow down!"
No one listened to him. The man wanted to find an opportunity to run out, but the maid stepped forward, grabbed his hand and twisted it back, making him unable to move.
The young master walked over slowly, took his purse from his hand, and ordered angrily: "I stole it from the young master, and I am tired of living. Thank you, I will **** his hand!"
"Yes, Master." The maid twisted hard.
"Crack——" the sound of joint dislocation.
"Ah!" the thief screamed, his face instantly turned pale, a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he shouted, "If you dare to attack me, you are the only one who is impatient!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward: "Sir, wait a moment. This man is not easy to offend!"
The young master sneered: "Why ~IndoMTL.com~ are you in the same group? I went to your store to eat, and someone stole my wallet. Is your store a black shop?"
The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly: "What are you talking about, Master? I'm just saying this for the sake of Master. This man..." He lowered his voice, "There is someone behind him. Master is angry now, but he will be angry again later." You will be targeted."
"So what if I'm targeted? I'm afraid of them!"
"Hey!" The shopkeeper was so anxious that he could only go up to him and tell the truth, "He belongs to the Beggar Clan! You can't afford to offend him, and the shop can't afford to offend him either!"
Unexpectedly, when the young master heard the word beggar gang, he became even more furious: "The beggar gang in the capital can do such evil? It's so abominable! What a blessing, even his feet are broken!"
The maid agreed and was about to take action when a voice came from outside: "Hahaha, young master, don't be so angry. The beggars in the world are one family. How about you come down and be a peacemaker?"
I saw an old beggar coming outside. He was dressed in tatters, but his face was ruddy and his voice was like a bell. As soon as he came in, he poked the ground with the bamboo stick in his hand, looking carefree and like a man in charge.
