Chapter 231 Stop
"Here's a guest, hurry up and say hello!" You Ziqi's voice came from behind the clerk, and Qin Mengyao realized that You Ziqi, like those martial arts masters, was wearing a bamboo hat with a circle around it The black gauze covered her face tightly.The man stuck out his tongue and walked towards the door.

"You don't even come in first, chatting with a buddy." You Ziqi said calmly, but he was secretly happy in his heart. She came to prove that she still cares about her and loves her. However, when she thinks of her bruised face One piece of purple looks, and she doesn't want her to see his ugly side.

"Why didn't you say anything about such a big thing, how long do you want to hide it from me!" After Qin Mengyao finished speaking, he walked into the inner room angrily, and You Ziqi followed closely behind, grinning .

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a few hooligans making trouble," You Ziqi laughed, making Qin Mengyao even more angry.

"You're still laughing! Didn't I tell you to go to Huo's mansion to find me immediately if you have anything to do? Do you think you are brave and mighty if you carry it down by yourself like this?" Qin Mengyao wanted to beat him hard.

"Where, it's just a little bit braver than before... Hehe, don't always have a dark face, you still look good when you smile," You Ziqi's cheeks hurt when he spoke, but he still couldn't help amused Qin Mengyao.

"It's up to you! Lift up the ugly cloth and let me see. This group of people is too ruthless, even the guys in the store. It's not enough to just beat you, but also involve innocent people. It's really unscrupulous. Bandit!" Qin Mengyao reached out to lift the black veil, but You Ziqi dodged it.

"You woman is too heartless, you will be happy if you let me be beaten alone!" You Ziqi covered his heart, pretending to be sad.

Seeing You Ziqi being so talkative, Qin Mengyao knew that he was fine, but after all, he still felt sorry for him being beaten like this, "Open it and let me take a look, that's all, so I will know in my heart. "

"It's fine. Look, I can jump far with one step now. I'm really fine." You Ziqi jumped up vigorously, the pain in his legs made his face deformed, but he was still breathing one time.

"Stop trying to be brave," Qin Mengyao felt distressed, and directly pushed You Ziqi onto the chair, and lifted the black veil on You Ziqi's face, only to see bruises and purple spots, and the right cheek was swollen , Qin Mengyao gasped, "You really don't know who came to beat someone?"

"I went to investigate, but those people don't have any background. They're just a group of hooligans on the street. Maybe they're here to collect protection money, so let's show off first."

"Impossible, collecting protection money won't beat people to death! Tell me the truth, what did that person tell you?"

Facing the increasingly serious Qin Mengyao, You Ziqi couldn't help but put away his smile, and replied solemnly: "The man asked me to close this store, but don't worry, as long as I live one day, this store will be closed." will exist one day."

Qin Mengyao was speechless. Hearing what he said, it seemed that his peers were the ones who started the attack. It's just that Jinglu Xuan has only opened for a few months. Could it be that Jinglu Xuan has a large number of customers, so it has attracted the jealousy of its peers?

"And he also said, don't recruit those two oirans to the store in the future, otherwise he sees a beating once, you think, could it be that some boss has taken a fancy to the oiran, so he came here to beat him up to discourage him? "

"It's also possible, but obviously Jingluxuan has attracted some people's attention. You should keep a low profile these days. If it doesn't work, just close the door for a few days. I think those guys have been beaten up a lot. Oh, really I didn't expect that opening a store would cause so many troubles!" Qin Mengyao was thinking about something that might cause people to be hostile, but for some reason, Qin Luofu's face always appeared in front of her.

"Mengyao, it's fine if you care about me. I'm the one who should care about you the most." Although You Ziqi knew that Qin Mengyao cared for the shop assistants, he was secretly jealous, even jealous of the shop assistants. .

"Come on, you should go home and have a good rest for a few days. I'll be in the shop these days," Qin Meng rolled his eyes at You Ziqi, and was extremely speechless towards him.

"No, I have to wait until dark to go out, otherwise it will damage my glorious image too much. You must know that my young master is also the object of many girls' obsession in this area. I must not let them see me like this." You Ziqi Smiling smugly, the smile became more and more wretched.

"You can't live without narcissism! I can't stand you anymore," Qin Mengyao had nothing to say about his narcissism, and when he heard him say that, he didn't even have the energy to refute, "It's up to you, Then I'll go to Yunyifang to have a look, I haven't been here for a few days, I don't know if that business has been affected."

"Hmph, I don't see you caring so much about your store!"

You Ziqi's complaints are not without reason. After all, Qin Mengyao is the boss behind Jingluxuan, but she cares more about Yunyifang's business than her own store, and she knows that Jingluxuan is also in the clothing business. Afterwards, they had no intention of designing their own store at all, and You Ziqi doubted whether this store belonged to Qin Mengyao.

"With you in the store, why should I worry about it." After Qin Mengyao finished speaking, he got up and went out.

"You woman, this is, what should I do with you..." You Ziqi stared at Qin Mengyao's back, his face was replaced by deep sadness.

"Ha, I finally caught you!" A man in red jumped out from behind the screen in the room, gloating and shouting at You Ziqi, "You said you have no one you like, so I found out!"

"I said young master Xiao Qian, don't make fun of me," You Ziqi gave Xiao Qian a big roll of his eyes, as long as he met this kid, he never met anything good.

"Come on, I found out and still don't admit it, tell me quickly, do you like this savage woman!" Xiao Qian jumped in front of You Ziqi domineeringly, stretched out his finger, ready to poke You Ziqi's sore spot at all times.

"It's none of your business, let me tell you, if you call her a savage woman again, be careful that I'm not polite to you!" You Ziqi slapped Xiao Qian's hand away, but he still touched the sore spot on his face, Grinning in pain.

"Oh, just saying that makes you feel bad." Xiao Qian stared at You Ziqi with a smile, "She's from the Huo family."

You Ziqi naturally understood what he meant by the people of the Huo family, but he still pretended not to care, "What's wrong with the people of the Huo family, you are still from the Xiao family, why don't you come to my You every day?" People's territory."

"Seriously, you don't really like this girl, do you?" Xiao Qian shook his head repeatedly, "No, this woman is too treacherous, you can't like her, or you will be bullied to death by her, like I do every day. The first time I meet her, nothing good will happen, if one day she falls into my hands, hum..."

You Ziqi slapped Xiao Qian's reverie, "What are you daydreaming about, last time you did something wrong in the tea, I haven't settled with you yet..."

After hearing this, Xiao Qian blinked his eyes, "What kind of tea, I don't know! My brother called me, I have to return!" After finishing speaking, before You Ziqi could react, there was no one left.

Ever since he was frightened by the galloping horse that time, Qin Mengyao has been extremely careful when crossing the road.She went out from Jingluxuan, looked around to make sure it was safe, and then prepared to walk to the opposite side.

But just two steps away, an old man who sells fruit suddenly said: "Girl, fresh grapes, just picked from the tree, do you want a bunch?"

Some water droplets were sprinkled on the bright purple grapes, which looked very attractive.Qin Mengyao turned his head to look at the grapes in the basket, and felt his tongue slurp, so he couldn't help but stop.

"Sweet and fragrant grapes, girl, how many do you want?" The old man immediately moved to Qin Mengyao, picked up a bunch of grapes and stuffed them into her hands, "Girl, try it, it doesn't cost money if it's not sweet!"

Qin Mengyao smiled and shook his head, "Old man, how do you sell these grapes?"

"How does the girl want to buy it?" The old man smiled honestly, pointing to a bamboo tube hanging on his waist, "If you want to sell it, shake it once for twenty Wen, and shake three sticks in a row. If the number on the three sticks If the sum is greater than fifteen, the old man will give the girl a catty of grapes, if it is less than fifteen, the girl will not be able to buy grapes."

"This method of selling is quite new. What if you buy it directly with silver taels?" It was the first time Qin Mengyao heard that there were still people who used this gambling-like method to buy fruit, and it was very novel.

"If you buy it directly, the old man will sell it to the girl at the market price, half a catty for half a penny. The price is fair, and there is no deception, girl, don't worry!" The old man's dark face is full of real estate, Qin Mengyao thought carefully , so he bent down and picked out a few bunches of grapes, and put them on the old man's scale.

"The grapes are sold. You can get a catty of grapes for [-] Wen once you shake them! Don't miss them when you pass by!" The old man weighed and hawked loudly. Passers-by surrounded him.

"Hey, girl, these are a full three catties, and they cost one tael and a half silver. Why don't you try to shake them once, maybe you can bring so many grapes home for only sixty yuan!" the old man's voice said Full of anger, the people next to him were eager to try, and they all helped to persuade Qin Mengyao.

"That's right, girl, why don't you try to pounce, maybe you can take away all these grapes for only a few tens of pennies!" Qin Mengyao took out his purse and was about to pay, never thinking of selling it through pounce. Although it is very attractive to take away these grapes with very little money, the game is unpredictable after all. If you are unlucky, I am afraid that if you invest all your money in it, you may not get a catty of fruit. Besides, in gambling, it is inevitable that some people will cheat, and how many people have been ruined because of this. The change of the little monk Huitong's family is the best lesson.

"Come on, let me give it a try, old man, take the twenty coins, and if I shake it in a while, you can't play tricks!" A middle-aged man with a beard took out a handful of black coins from his pocket and counted them. It took several times before reluctantly stuffing the money into the hands of the old man.

"You can rest assured, old man, I do business with fair prices and no deceit." The old man handed the bamboo tube to the middle-aged man, opened the lid of the bucket and took out all the bamboo sticks inside and spread it out in his hand, "You look good Yes, from one to nine, it’s all here, I’ll put it in after you read it.”

Although twenty Wen is not a lot of money, it is still a lot of money for many ordinary families. Although the middle-aged man gave the money to the old man, he still regretted it in his heart. He still gritted his teeth and decided to give it a go.

"Huh, huh, huh!" The bamboo sticks were shaken extremely loudly in the barrel, and three bamboo sticks fell out from the opening after a while.

"A piece of two," the old man picked up the bamboo stick, and announced the number loudly, "A piece of eight!"

When the middle-aged man heard the number, his hands trembled with excitement, and he secretly prayed that the last one would be bigger than five, but God did not follow his wishes. When he heard the old man say the number three, the middle-aged man instantly felt like an eggplant beaten by frost. He returned to his son listlessly.

"Old man, here you are," Qin Mengyao watched the commotion, and handed the silver to the old man.The old man came rushing to sell grapes today. He never thought that someone would actually pay for the grapes. In order to sell the grapes, he raised the price much higher than the market price. He just wanted to make money by selling grapes. Earning some Wenyin, he got so much all at once, his hands trembled with excitement.

"Girl, take your grapes." The old man wrapped the grapes in oiled paper, his eyes narrowed with joy.

Qin Mengyao turned around, intending to bring the grapes back to Jingluxuan to reward You Ziqi, but just as he took a step, he heard the voice of a middle-aged man next to him.

"Huzi, dad is useless. I didn't win grapes for you. When dad makes money, he will definitely buy a lot of grapes for Huzi!" The middle-aged man looked at the grapes regretfully, and took his son's hand to leave.

But the son was obviously a little unhappy, pouting and unwilling to turn around.

"Let's go, I will definitely buy it for you in the future!" The middle-aged man pulled his son's hand vigorously, and seeing the tears in the child's eyes were about to fall, the man pulled his son angrily, "Why are you crying, you are useless! Come on!" I go home!"

Qin Mengyao couldn't bear to hear it, presumably the man took the risk to let his son taste the grapes, but unfortunately, nine times out of ten bets, this is an adventure game in itself.

"Uncle, please stop." Qin Mengyao took out a small bunch of grapes and walked in front of the child.

"Girl, you are..."

Qin Mengyao smiled, and took out another twenty Wen from his pocket, holding a grape in one hand and a copper coin in the other, and looked at the child in front of him with a smile, "You are a tiger, aren't you?"

Huzi nodded, tears still glistening in his eyes.

"Huzi, now I have a bunch of grapes in my hand, and it still costs [-] Wen. You can choose one of the two. You can choose to use [-] Wen to draw lots from this grandpa, and you may win a catty." Grapes, or choose to take the grapes in my hand directly. Good boy, think carefully before making a choice."

The middle-aged man wanted to speak again, but Qin Mengyao shook his head to stop him.

"I, I want grapes." Huzi hesitated again and again, his eyes moved from grapes to copper coins, then from copper coins to grapes, and finally took the grapes from Qin Mengyao's hand.

Qin Mengyao nodded approvingly, and asked, "Why didn't you choose the twenty coins? You know, it is possible to exchange for a catty of grapes from grandpa with these twenty coins."

"However, I may not get anything." Hu Zi replied clearly and simply.
