Chapter 13 Hidden hairpins in the sleeves

When they arrived at the village, the wagons carrying things drove in two directions, one to the storehouse, and the other to the east courtyard, the residence of Bei Shen and Ji Changkong.

Bei Shen leaned on the door frame, clasped his hands on his chest, and watched Ji Changkong order everyone to move things into his room in an orderly manner.

The whole Qingteng Village has a large area, and even if two or three hundred people live, there are still many empty spaces. The east courtyard where they live is even larger than the other courtyards, and one room is bigger than the usual two.

In addition to the bed, there were tables and screens, as well as bookcases and other things in the empty room before, which was really empty. And after putting all the many things I bought today, it does look a lot warmer, not as cold as before.

When she was tidy up, it was time to take her shopping list and report to her father. Bei Yu let out a long sigh, then raised his legs and walked to the main hall alone.

Bei Qingteng sat on the high platform, Bei Qing stepped forward and handed him the things in his hand tremblingly, seeing her look like death, Bei Qingteng looked at her a little strangely, and then took the list.

He looked back from front to back, and the further back he went, the tighter his brow wrinkled, and the more ugly his face became. Bei Shen bit his lip and closed his eyes, not daring to look at him.

Bei Qingteng unfolded the paper and read aloud: "Zijin Liuxin Needle, Cloud Water Flute, Wu Bagpipe, Falling Back to the Light...... What the hell is this? ”

Bei Shen said in a low voice: "I don't know, those were all bought by Mr. ”

Bei Qingteng heard that Ji Changkong bought it, didn't say anything, and continued to flip back, and found that the next few pages were full of some strange things that he didn't know, and he stared at it casually, and went directly to see the total price behind it. After seeing that number, his eyes suddenly widened wider than a cow's eyes.

Bei Shen had expected that he would be like this when he saw it, but he couldn't help but tremble all over, and stood there motionless and didn't dare to move.

Bei Qingteng put down the list, didn't say a word, and then took out the saber more than one meter long on the side, and walked towards the door with a fierce attitude. Seeing this, Bei Shen hurriedly pounced over, hugged his legs, and said, "Dad, where are you going?" ”

Bei Qingteng raised his knife and shouted: "Go to him to settle accounts." ”

Bei Kan said anxiously: "Dad, please think twice, he is the gentleman you chose for me." ”

Bei Qingteng dragged Bei Ran with one leg, walked forward with great effort, and said, "I don't care who he is, I'll go and kill him now!" After speaking, he pressed Bei Shen's head with one hand and pushed her to the side, trying to pull his legs out, but the more he pushed, the tighter Bei Shen hugged her.

Bei Shen threw herself on the ground, remembering the treasure boxes that Ji Changkong helped her retrieve. Busy said: "Sir, he is not patronizing and shopping, he also took all the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion today, saying that he wanted to make a special trip to honor you." Then he hurriedly shouted to the nineteen on the side: "Nineteen, you go quickly and bring all those treasure boxes." ”

Nineteen said in a row: "Oh, I'll go." ”

After a while, Nineteen dragged a large bag over, which contained the brocade boxes they had shot down in the store. Bei Shen looked at the full bag and quietly glared at Nineteen: "Tell you to take it all, you really took it all, I don't know if you leave one for me?" ”

Nineteen was aggrieved: "Didn't you take it all you said?" ”

Bei Shen poured out all the boxes, then sat down in the pile of parcels, and began to unpack them one by one.

She held up a small wine jug with a strange shape and said, "Dad, you see, this wine jug looks so good, the body of the jug is made of silver, and it must be worth a lot of money." ”

"There's a pipe here, and the pattern on it is still inlaid with purple gold!"

"This is a step shake, very similar to the kind worn by the mother in the palace, my mother must look good when she wears it."

……

Bei Shen opened a slender box again, this time containing a hosta. The hairpin head is carved into a delicate cirrus cloud shape, and the hairpin body is covered with uneven carvings. Look at it carefully, it is the blue sky and the grass, the mountains and rivers reflect each other, and a small hairpin actually carved a picture of the water and the sky, the twilight of the rivers and mountains, which can be described as a miraculous workmanship. The whole hairpin body is crystal clear, and the whole body is snow-white and has a little smoke green, which makes the whole thing look extraordinary.

She picked up the hairpin and looked at it, and secretly stuffed it into her sleeve along with the wooden box while Bei Qingteng didn't pay attention.

Bei Qingteng looked at the pile of gold and silver jewelry poured out of the box, rare objects, and weighed it in his heart, it was indeed worth a lot of money, and after thinking about it, he stopped asking about this purchase.

Bei Kan saw that he couldn't put down those things, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this matter was finally over.

After this side was settled, she went back to find Ji Changkong. As soon as she entered the room, she saw a brand new room appear in front of her, everything was placed in the right place, neatly placed, there was no trace of mess, the previous feeling of emptiness was gone, and there was a little more elegance of people with lofty ideals.

She walked up to him and clapped her hands in admiration, "Not bad, not bad." When Ji Changkong heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and seemed a little proud.

Bei pulled him to sit down at the table: "Sir, come, I have something good for you." Ji Changkong's face was full of doubts. I saw that she took out a wooden box from her sleeve and opened it, which contained a white hosta with exquisite workmanship and great value.

Bei Shen took out the hairpin, put it on his head for him, looked left and right, and said happily: "Well, it's so beautiful." ”

Ji Changkong looked sideways at the extra objects on his head in the bronze mirror on the side, and asked, "Why did you suddenly give me something?" ”

Bei Kan said: "This is what we brought back in the Treasure Pavilion today, and the other things were given to my father, I saw that this was good-looking, and I thought it was suitable for you, so I secretly hid it." ”

Ji Changkong was puzzled: "Didn't those things give it to you?" Why give it to your dad? ”

Hearing him ask, Bei Shen said in his heart: Ancestor, it's not because you spent all his money that he wants to kill you, I can't help it, so I took those things to you to pay off the debt.

But she couldn't say that, so she said, "Well, it's okay, since he likes it, give it to him." ”

Ji Changkong nodded and didn't say anything more.

Bei Kan remembered one thing, and said: "By the way, you have been here for more than two months, but you must have not even visited our mountain, right?" Let me tell you, our mountain is very large, and in addition to the stockade, there are fields, streams, and mountains behind it. Let's go, I'll take you to see it. ”

Ji Changkong followed her out the door together.

took him all over the village, and Bei Ran led him out of the gate of the village and came to the edge of the field outside the village. At this time, many people were working in the field, some were turning the soil, some were weeding. When they came, they all greeted them with a smile.

Bei Shen also waved at them, and then introduced to Ji Changkong: "We have dozens of acres of fertile land here, ploughing in spring and summer, harvesting in autumn and storing in winter, and we are completely self-sufficient in food. There is a crystal clear stream in the front part that leads to the bottom of the mountain, and there are many small fish and shrimp in the stream, and in the summer I like to take them with Seventeen and Nineteen to catch fish, shrimp and crabs. There is also a large bamboo forest on the back mountain, and occasionally we will go to the bamboo forest to shoot sparrows with slingshots. ”

When she talked about this, she was like a treasure, and her face was full of happy smiles.

Ji Changkong said: "But aren't you thieves?" Why do bandits still plow their own fields? ”

Bei Kan said: "What's wrong with the bandits, in addition to robbing the house, the bandits can also have an ordinary life." ”

Ji Changkong said: "Then are you robbed?" ”

Bei Kan said: "Naturally, it is robbed, but not all of them are robbed." Ordinary people do not rob, good ministers and clean officials do not rob, those who harm the people are robbed, and those who are not honest are also robbed. ”

Ji Changkong smiled: "In this way, you still have a sense of justice." ”

Kitakami said: "That's." One year of famine, our village took in many homeless and hungry homeless people, and most of the people in the village now came from that time. Not only that, but we also helped the villagers in the mountains next door to chase away the robbers. ”

Ji Chang said hollowly: Didn't they stay here as hostages because they picked your flowers? But when the words came to their lips, they became: "How can you tell who should be robbed and who should not be robbed?" ”

Kitakane said: "We naturally have our own methods. ”

For example, this downhill purchase is one of them. On the pretext of buying something, he went around and heard from various vendors about the recent events. There is also a teahouse called "Tea Acacia", which is located on the main road of the capital, and many merchants will pass by there, and naturally there are many people who rest there. Places with a lot of foot traffic are also very informative, and you can often hear a lot of news from such inconspicuous places that you may not be able to buy with a lot of money.

Ji Changkong said: "Then how often will you go to rob the Dao." ”

Bei Shen thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be a long time since the last time, it must be a few months." ”

Ji Changkong said: "Then when is the next time?" ”

Bei Shen's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "It's almost there." ”
