The princess changed her widow's life by fortune-telling

Chapter 175 We Are Living in a Huge Deception
Pei Qingge frowned slightly, "Chu Xingxuan, what do you mean?"

"Things outside the Beiming Kingdom are becoming more and more different from what we know. The old monk Shen Yi'an mentioned is definitely not an ordinary person, but logically speaking, how could there be such a thing outside the Beiming Kingdom?" People?" Chu Xingxuan chuckled, and after a while, he continued, "I think we have been living in a huge deception."

Pei Qingge couldn't help but think of Cang You, she raised her hand and pinched the window lattice, "It's because it's getting different, so I have to be more careful."

"Yeah, who would have thought that you would still see death in your lifetime?" Chu Xingxuan turned his head and glanced at Bai Jinye who was walking upstairs, and lowered his voice a little, "Who would have thought that you and Is Bai Jinye's evil fate becoming more and more entangled? What happens to him has nothing to do with me, but don't get yourself involved. "

Pei Qingge didn't quite understand what he meant, and wanted to ask, but Bai Jinye had already approached, so Chu Xingxuan took a few steps back, turned and left.

When the two passed by, they looked at each other and didn't speak.

Bai Jinye walked to Pei Qingge's side and stopped, raised her hand and pulled her cloak to wrap it tighter, "This place is no worse than Fuzhou, the cold air is severe, just wake up, go to the window to blow the wind, be careful not to catch a cold .”

"I'm not that weak." Pei Qingge paused before asking, "Where did you go?"

A bitter smile appeared on Bai Jinye's face, "I wanted to be with you, but Leng Yuan wouldn't let me stay in your room, so I went around the street." He took out a brocade box from his arms, "Xici County is not considered prosperous. There are several shops here, but this hairpin looks pretty good."

Pei Qingge looked down at the hairpin in the brocade box, it was just a simple jade hairpin with magnolia flowers carved on it, but the whole body was dark green, and the quality of the jade was considered to be high-quality, "Prince Su is well-informed, it is really good to be able to catch the eyes of the prince. "

"Don't you want to take a look?" Bai Jinye said again.

After being silent for a while, Pei Qingge took the hairpin out of the brocade box and turned it around in his hand. On one side of the hairpin, there were a few small words engraved - holding hands and growing old together.

She put the hairpin back into the brocade box again, and turned her head to look out the window, "In your capacity, if there is no business with the Zhang family, you should be the first choice for many people to get married in Shengjing, right?"

Bai Jinye didn't answer this question, but instead asked, "What about you, in Beiming Kingdom, there should be many people who want to marry you, right?"

"Northern Ming Kingdom, no one has the idea of ​​marrying a saint." Pei Qingge chuckled and added, "No one can marry either."

Bai Jinye lowered his eyes, and after a while, he picked up the jade hairpin in the brocade box, "Let me put it on for you."

Pei Qingge was about to refuse when Zuo Ci hurried up, "Young Master, Young Madam."

Bai Jinye frowned and looked over, Zuo Ci faintly felt that he seemed to have come at the wrong time, and then looked at the half-handed hairpin in Bai Jinye's hand, he was sure that he had indeed come at the wrong time.

But it's all here...he walked a few steps forward, "There are people arguing in the store in front, it seems that the sister-in-law from the nunnery on Qionghua Mountain ordered food in that store before, and somehow the food was resold by the store Yes, it's a serious argument."

Bai Jinye and Pei Qingge looked at each other and walked outside together.

When putting away the jade hairpin in his hand, Bai Jinye did not forget to give Zuo Ci a glare.

Zuo Ci shrank his neck, didn't he just hear that it was the aunt in Qionghuashan's nunnery, and he certainly didn't care if it was changed to someone else.

The three of them walked to the shop in front, and saw the shopkeeper and three teachers, one old, two young, arguing.

None of the three teachers looked like Bai Jinye, so they should not be his third aunt or the half-sister who was taken away by the third aunt.

Zuo Ci inquired with the spectators before he found out that Qiong Hua Nunnery's Shi Tai, who was in charge of purchasing, had ordered the rice noodles for the entire first month here early in the morning.

In the first month of the first lunar month in Xici County, many people go to the nunnery to worship Buddha, so they have to prepare a lot more fast meals than usual.

Originally, it was decided that it was yesterday to pick up the rice noodles, but there was something in the nunnery yesterday, and the teacher couldn't go down the mountain, and it was only at this time today that he came here.

The shopkeeper saw that the teacher did not come yesterday, so it happened that someone bought rice noodles early this morning, so he sold them.

Now the teacher came to pick it up, but he had no goods to hand over, so he just said to return the deposit to the teacher.

But what is the use of the teacher asking for this deposit?This one in Xici County is the largest rice noodle shop, and other small shops cannot stock too much. Besides, at this time, most of them have already gone home for the New Year, and it is too late to buy now.

The boss put the deposit on the counter, "Master, let's make an agreement. I came to pick up the goods before noon yesterday. It is said that you didn't come. How to deal with the goods is my business. You don't have to refund the deposit, but we live on the mountain and down the mountain." Now, it’s almost the Chinese New Year, and I’ve done my best to refund the deposit.”

"The nunnery has always ordered rice and noodles with you, and there has never been a mistake. It's just a matter of one day and one day later. How can you resell it? Since the number of pilgrims in the nunnery increased at the beginning of the new year, there is not enough vegetarian food. What are you asking us to do?" The teacher confiscated the deposit, with a troubled expression on her face.

"So I refunded you the deposit?" The shopkeeper sighed, "Even if I go to the government, I can make sense, Mrs., don't waste your time with me, go and see other In the shop, I can buy some. If I still have rice noodles, I will definitely sell them to you, but there are really no more right now. Even if you stand here all the time, I don’t have any."

"If you can buy it elsewhere, why should we care about you here?" A younger nun said, "You have received a deposit, so you should keep it for us. Now that there is no more rice noodles, you should also It's you to figure out a way, not to drive us away."

"Master, we have to be reasonable." The shopkeeper spread his hands, "If you do this again, let's go directly to the government and let the magistrate judge."

The young nun wanted to say something, but was stopped by the older teacher. She sighed, took the deposit from the counter, and turned to leave.

"Master." The young man grabbed her sleeve, "The nunnery depends on these rice noodles for the first month. I think he just doesn't want to sell them to us. How can such a big store not have a bag of rice or noodles?"

The people who watched the excitement also commented, "Yeah, the granary and noodle warehouse are usually full, why are there none?"

"If you don't believe me, come in and see for yourself." The shopkeeper pointed inside, "Can I still have business? Am I lying?"

"Who bought all the rice noodles in your store?" Zuo Ci raised his voice and asked.

"Li Yuanwai from Ding'an County next door." The shopkeeper glanced at Zuo Ci, "It is said that Li Yuanwai's mother is going to have a big birthday in the first month, and they want food relief, and they buy all the rice, flour and food in the nearby counties. Yes. Xici County is so big, there are countless rice noodles that can be sold every year, and I can't hoard too much, if I can't sell it, I will definitely lose money, right?" He paused, then looked at several people Teacher, "I also said, we will go to buy goods after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the first batch of rice noodles will definitely be reserved for you."

"Master, shouldn't there be no food in the nunnery?" Zuo Ci also looked at the master, "Can't you even eat on the fifth day?"

The older nun looked at Zuo Ci, said nothing, and was about to leave with her two apprentices.

Pei Qingge raised his hand and tugged on Bai Jinye's sleeve, and Bai Jinye nodded accordingly.

The corner of the old nun's robe was stained a little dark red. Ordinary people might not notice it, but they could tell it was blood at a glance.
