One Hundred and Fifty Nine: Are You Looking for Cutting (3)
That is to say, but Jiang Pengji didn't really take nothing with her, she still brought ten taels of silver.
For ordinary families, it is already very extravagant to carry ten taels of silver with them when they go out, and they must be careful to guard against pickpockets when walking.
Jiang Pengji also felt that it was enough, but for Meng Bin, who was used to being extravagant, ten taels of silver was not enough for him to throw away for fun.
Dongqing is different from the other four countries. There is no curfew at night, but the city gates will be closed when the time comes.
There are people coming and going in the night market, and small vendors are selling their goods, most of which are exquisite weaving or small accessories. The stalls are filled with silk flower jewelry. Although the materials are simple and cheap, they are better than the exquisite production. Surrounded by a scene of prosperity.
Although it's already night, on the night market, you can occasionally see a few young girls wearing veiled hats,
Can't see the face, but just looking at the slender and Miaoman's back, some people are already unable to walk.
Jiang Pengji glanced secretly, smiled and said teasingly, "My cousin behaves like this, she looks more like a man than Xi. Seeing a pair of beautiful ladies, her eyes are almost glued to her. No matter how beautiful they are, How can it be as beautiful as my cousin's beauty?"
Meng Ting watched with enthusiasm, but was suddenly disturbed, and the displeasure in his heart can be imagined.
Although he has always been proud of his appearance, some people always say that he is a woman, which is a disguised form of ridicule for his lack of masculinity, and now Jiang Pengji is emphasizing this point haha, if it wasn't for Meng Jun, he would have slapped him.
Can you speak human language?
But Meng Ting was quite sensible, and did not put this idea into action, but secretly clenched his fists, annoyed with a smile on his face, "Lanting, this is outside, you should call me cousin, Otherwise, it will be heard by others, what does it look like? Besides, everyone has a love for beauty, and when you see a beautiful young lady, why don't you allow your cousin to take a look?"
Jiang Pengji snorted, but gave a cold snort in her heart.
Call him cousin?
Tsk tsk, I really hate myself for not dying fast enough.
She turned her face away with a little disgust, but sweetly called her cousin, which made Meng Ting feel relieved.
Jiang Pengji stopped in front of a stall and asked the vendor, "How do you sell these silk flowers?"
She picked up the pair of spherical silk flowers she liked, made of rabbit fur and dyed bright colors, they looked pretty.
There are also many spherical silk flowers of different colors hanging on the stalls. The materials used are not expensive, but novelty.
"Cousin Lan Ting still talks about me, how can there be a man who likes these things?" Meng Ting took the opportunity to fight back.
Jiang Pengji said casually, "It looks pretty good to me. I bought a few pairs for the girls in the yard. My daughter loves to be pretty. No amount of rouge, gouache, silk flower decorations, and clothes are enough. You can play the piano. You can try this." , the color is just right."
Nongqin took it with a blushing face, the other party's body temperature still remained on the spherical silk flower, "Thank you, sir."
"I forgot, your current appearance is not suitable for wearing, try it when you go back."
Nongqin, who was about to put on the piano, froze in place with his hands, and his cheeks flushed suddenly.
She seems to have forgotten that she is still dressed as a servant at the moment, what kind of silk flowers are she trying!
Meng Ting on the side clicked his tongue,
Said, "Cousin Lanting will send these cheap ones to my daughter's house?"
"A personal maid is nothing else. If she wears gold and silver, what would she look like?" Jiang Pengji picked out a few pairs that she thought were well made, and bought a few rouge boxes and fresh lip balm to protect her lips. Still not eye-catching, "Besides, women of this age are already the most beautiful, so why do they need those old-fashioned and precious ornaments, which forcefully suppressed their aura?"
Jiang Pengji picked out a lot of odds and ends, and almost prepared a copy for the girls.
No one more, no one less.
However, she can be patient and buy these fragmentary and cheap little gifts, but Meng Bing has no such interest.
Originally, he wanted to lure Liu Xi into the gambling house by beating around the bush. This kind of obedient kid who stays in the courtyard is easily attracted by novelty things. As long as he is brought here a few times, he is guaranteed to become addicted to gambling. In order to keep the secret, He is not allowed to get close to himself
Has?
In this way, the goal of getting Liu Xi close to him was achieved, and at the same time, he could secretly destroy Liu Xi.
Tsk, he wants to see how much wealth Liu She has, which can make his ignorant son prodigal.
But now, watching the other party buy and buy that, who knows when the goal will be achieved?
"Why does my cousin want to go to that kind of place?" Jiang Pengji frowned and denied, "No, there are mixed dragons and snakes over there. If anyone offends my cousin, what should I do? Cousin should change places, that kind of place The place is said to be dirty”
Jiang Pengji's innocent words made Meng Ting secretly laugh.
"What is Cousin Lanting so nervous about? I heard from my servants before that many aristocrats also like to go there. Since everyone likes to go there, it shouldn't be as bad as my cousin said. I'm just curious and want to see it." Just look at it, my cousin agrees."
"Xi is not nervous, but he is afraid that the rough man will bump into his cousin. If something happens, how will Lan Ting explain to his mother?"
Jiang Pengji refused righteously and put on a non-negotiable gesture.
But is Meng Ting the kind of person who gives up lightly?
In the end, Jiang Pengji also "couldn't stand up" to Meng Bin's offensive, so she could only reluctantly take him in to have a look, and then come out after seeing it, and couldn't stay for long. Nongqin on the side listened anxiously, but he couldn't stop him, saying that Meng Ting was uneasy and kind.
With such anxious emotions, Nongqin finally watched her husband enter a gambling house.
When the curtain was lifted, the casino was full of voices. Many shirtless men stepped on the benches and screamed around a table.
"Big! Big! Big! Big! Big! Go big!"
"Small! It must be small!"
Sounds like these were endless, and Nongqin couldn't help but want to tremble.
"It's okay, I'm here."
At this moment, Jiang Pengji put a hand on her shoulder, turned her head and smiled at her.
Strangely, Nongqin's original fear disappeared without a trace, and gradually calmed down.
There are more than a dozen tables in the lobby on the first floor of this gambling house, and each table is surrounded by a dozen to twenty men.
Xiaoer, who was serving in the lobby, saw a few of them, and his eyes lit up.
Young age, immature face, and gorgeous clothes are put together to form a shiny label.
Fat sheep!
"What do the guest officers want to play with?" Xiao Er came up to him, with a smile on his face, revealing a mouthful of shiny yellow teeth.
Jiang Pengji backed away slightly, avoiding Xiao Er, and was about to say that she wanted to leave when Meng Ting asked, "What fun do you have here?" To be continued.
