Don’t Learn Mandarin Ducks

    Li Jingyun turned her head and asked her, "Where is the jewelry store?"

    Hua Yue twitched the corners of her eyes: "Aren't you going to the tea shop?"

    "Go and see the jewelry first."

    Hua Yue was a little impatient, but after reading the two points of profit, she still held back a sigh of relief and pulled Youjie and Shi forward.

    Li Jingyun followed slowly, her eyes fell behind her, she couldn't see the emotion, but she never turned away.

    Hua Yue didn't notice it, but Youjie looked back at him with confusion in her eyes.

    In Youjie's eyes, his father is very fierce and serious. Most people are afraid of him. Daddy can talk to people a lot, and he can't understand a word, but the person on the other side will always sweat profusely.

    This is the first time Jie sees Daddy so quiet, without saying a word, walking behind people willingly, like a saddled horse.

    He wanted to let go of his mother's hand and pull his father, but as soon as he had this thought, he was glared by his father.

      Mother, keep going.

    The jewelry shops in the towns are very ordinary, far less grand than the Baolai Pavilion in Jinghua. Huayue brought people out and waited outside. Li Jingyun didn't say anything and went in to choose by himself.

    Shi Xiang and Youjie played tricks with you pushing me and pushing me, Huayue took out the ledger she was carrying when she had nothing to do, looked at it, and felt that the corner of her skirt was being ripped off. tugged.

    "Mother, hurry in." Shi Xiang suddenly shouted.

    Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, and when she looked down, she saw that his brows were wrinkled, and he said with a cautious expression: "Don't look outside."

    The last time I saw him look like this was when Buzhuang met someone to find fault. Hua Yue understood and took the two children into the door.

    After a while, two people followed in the door, the second one knew something was wrong, and quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile: "What do you want to watch?"

    Hua Yue stood at the corner of the wall, holding the two children's hands and taking a glance out of the corner of the eye, okay, the enemy's road is narrow, and the horse is far away.

    I said earlier that when a girl goes out to do business, she must be bullied. Naturally, Huayue and Shuangjiang have also met that person who jumped over the wall in the middle of the night. Ma Chengyuan was one of them. I didn't dare to jump over the wall and go over the door, but on weekdays, I would let people go to the cloth village to make trouble. I wouldn't smash it. Every time he had to get some money to pay, this man was willing to take people away.

    Hua Yue had a headache for a long time, and now she ran into him with her two children, so naturally it was better to avoid it.

    However, Ma Chengyuan saw her, chased after entering the door, and leaned in front of her with a smile: "Manager Yin, haven't seen her for two days?"

    Pull the child behind her, Huayuepi smiled.

    Ma Chengyuan came over, caught a glimpse of the child, and said, "It's easy to meet, you will pay this month's money, and it will save our brothers a trip to Buzhuang."

    Shi Xiang grabbed Youjie's hand with watery eyes, Youjie glanced at him, stepped out to block Huayue, raised his head and said, "Women, children and children are blocked in the street asking for money , what's the rule?"

    Ma Chengyuan was taken aback by the sound, looked around with an exaggerated expression, then lowered his head in disdain, and said with a smirk, "You stinky child, what rules do you have with Lao Tzu? Stay away. , don't step on you."

    Slightly sullen, Huayue pulled Youjie away, and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't bring any money when I went out, you can ask someone to pick it up tomorrow."

    High eyebrows, Ma Chengyuan squinted small triangular eyes, stretched out his hand and said: "Then you must remember to leave a door for me tomorrow."

      , So he didn't move, anyway, he just picked his chin and touched his face, then turned back and washed his face.

    So Ma Chengyuan stretched out his hand as usual and said cheerfully: "When did you figure it out, my silver is still yours—"

    Sub.

    Before the last word was uttered, there was a loud crack in the air, and it exploded in front of my eyes.

    The bright red blood penetrated the skin and bones, and oozes out along the tip of the hairpin.

    The hand that was close at hand was stabbed in the opposite direction.

    “…”

    Ma Chengyuan didn't react for a while, and watched for a while, before screaming mournfully.

    The customers in the store were startled and ran out one after another. Xiao Er came over to look at them, and backed away in fear: "I got pierced..."

    The tail of the hairpin is not very sharp, but it can penetrate the palm of the hand from the back of the hand. Xiao Er wiped his face, tremblingly trying to find the shopkeeper, but when he turned around, he saw the shopkeeper also standing trembling at the counter. In front of him was a guest with an empty hairpin box, black His eyes looked at Ma Chengyuan's side, and the movement of throwing things had not been completely stopped.

    Xiao Er's eyes widened.

    Ma Chengyuan couldn't stop screaming, the brother who was following him stepped forward to support him, and when he saw the person who started, he scolded: "I'm getting impatient!"

    Li Jingyun thought about it seriously and nodded: "It's a bit."

    It's been quite a while since the two brothers were swindling and deceiving Pengci to collect the protection fee. It was the first time I met someone who replied this way, and I choked for a while. Ma Chengyuan burst into tears in pain, covered his hands and shouted at him: "Go to the Yamen, you don't want to go bankrupt today, you don't want to leave this Huaiyong City!"

    With a chuckle, Li Jingyun turned around and said to the shopkeeper, "Take another bag and take it to the place I said earlier."

    The shopkeeper's face turned pale, and then the money he handed over made his lips tremble.

    Li Jingyun had no extra mood to appease the onlookers, he walked towards Ma Chengyuan, looked down at him and asked, "Going to the Yamen?"

    His style is a bit overwhelming, Ma Chengyuan looked up and down, choked with tears, and calmed down: "It's okay to be private, you can pay two hundred taels of silver."

    The heart is really dark, Huayue shook her head, opened her mouth to say that the injury was almost fifty taels, and heard footsteps outside the door.

     Her eyes were still blindfolded, and she couldn't see who was coming, but Ma Chengyuan suddenly screamed and shouted: "What are you doing! "

    Then her mouth was gagged and she was dragged out whimpering.

    Hua Yue hurriedly took Shi Go's hand away, but she couldn't see anyone when she raised her eyes, the shop door was empty, only Li Jing Yun was left in front of her, and two bloodstains remained on the ground.

    "You brought someone?" She frowned.

    Li Jingyun asked blankly, "Who is it? It was the city patrol officer who took him away."

    What a coincidence? Hua Yue didn't believe it, but when she looked around, she couldn't really see any movement, so she said, "That person is used to being arrogant in the town. Come out, it's me who suffers."

    "Yin Zhangshi also has something to fear?" He said in a strange and authentic tone.

    I haven't heard this name for a long time, Huayue was in a trance for a moment, and shook her head: "Life is alive, people at high places are afraid of falling, and people at low places are afraid of waterlogging, who has nothing to be afraid of."

    "When you're by my side, at least you don't have to be afraid of this." He snorted coldly, and then walked out the door with his sleeves.

    Is this a run on her, or a hint to her? Hua Yue pursed her lips, she wasn't interested no matter what, so she pretended not to hear and continued to show him the way.

    Li Jingyun has a lot of things to buy. He went to the tea shop after the jewelry shop. After a while, he went to the carpenter shop. When she stopped by a restaurant, she said without hesitation, "The food here is delicious, you can try it."

    Looking up at the restaurant, Li Jingyun showed some disgust in his eyes, but there was nothing better in this place, so he just walked in and ordered a table of wine and food.

    Finally able to sit down and rest, Huayue quickly placed the two children and rested herself.

    "Your Excellency won't go back to the barracks?" she asked tentatively.

    Li Jingyun said solemnly: "I hurt someone just now, so I have to stay in the city. If the local yamen calls me, I won't rush back and forth."

    "Then can you watch these two children first?" Hua Yue said, "The carriage from the city to the town was packed up half an hour ago, and we have to walk back, these two children Being stuck like this, I can’t stand the toss.”

    Looking at her, Li Jingyun said, "You can rest here for the night."

    Hua Yue subconsciously refused: "No need, I don't have enough money on me, you can just bring them, I can go back to the cloth village."

    Li Jingyun drank tea with his eyes lowered, and a dark light surged in his eyes: "Yes."

    "You have a job." Hua Yue got up and didn't eat at the same table with him, so she went out to find an ox cart and went back to town.

    Usually at dusk, many ox carts will drive out of the city, and Huayue walks to the gate of the city, thinking that they can go back after waiting for a few coins. However, when she finally walked to the gate of the city, she saw that the soldiers guarding the city were closing the door.

    "Hey, my lord?" Hua Yue hurriedly stepped forward, "Why is the door locked so early today?"

    Go back, where are you going? If she wants to go back, she should go out. Hua Yue frowned and stood on tiptoe, but saw that the city gate had closed tightly with a bang.
