It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 158

A few people were chatting and laughing as they were about to go back, but they saw a boy in ragged clothes approaching him. He was skinny and his face was a little red from the sea breeze. When he saw Qian Xiyao and the emperor, he said, "Master, madam , are you here to buy fish?"

"We've already bought it," Qian Xiyao said.

"Ma'am...the fish I have are very good. I just caught them today. Look, one fish only costs two cents." After speaking, the little boy pushed out the basket hanging on his arm. It was not made of coarse cloth, and as soon as he opened it, he saw a row of fresh herring neatly arranged inside.

This fish is indeed not expensive to sell. The fishing boat costs four cents a piece, which is half the price.

Qian Xiyao looked at Wanfu and Wu Quan whose hands were full of things, deeply felt that she couldn't buy any more, shook her head, and said softly, "Little brother, we bought too many things."

It was obviously the first time for Xiao Tong to be treated so gently by someone, and seeing that the other party looked like a fairy, and his voice was like the sound of heaven, he blushed in vain, took a step back, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, Then... okay." After speaking, he walked back with a basket in frustration.

"Wait." Qian Xiyao looked at the child wearing shoes with exposed toes, and suddenly felt sad for some reason, she said with a smile, "I'll buy them all when I come back." The basket of fish is only a few dozen pennies. It's not expensive, it's just a little effort for Qian Xiyao, a child, why don't you help?

The little boy was obviously very excited, and he stammered, "Ma'am, do you want it all?"

"Ah."

Xiaotong took the money and wanted to pass the fish over, but he saw that everyone here and here took everything. As for the gentleman who looked so luxurious and this lady who was like a fairy...he hurriedly said, "Madam, where do you live, let me carry it for you? The smell of fish is strong, don't get your hands dirty."

"No, no." Qian Xiyao shook her head.

"Yes, yes." The child was surprisingly stubborn.

Qian Xiyao glanced at the emperor, saw that he was almost inaudible and nodded to the end, and then let the child follow, the child did not dare to approach other people, always felt that the tall and thin man with long red lips and white teeth looked sinister , As for the tall and tough man, although he didn't look malicious, he was imposing. As for walking in the middle, with a leisurely posture, he was extravagant, and he dared not approach the luxurious man. These people don't look simple.

When Qian Xiyao saw the child, she followed her. She was very sensible and soft-hearted. She couldn't help but ask, "Is there no adult in your family? How could you be asked to sell fish?"

"My father disappeared when he went to sea last year, and my mother died when she gave birth to me. My grandma and I are the only two left in the family." The child said indifferently as if he was saying something unimportant to him, and finally said , "Grandma is sick, I just want to sell some fish to buy maltose for grandma."

Qian Xiyao looked at the child's ragged clothes and thin figure, and unconsciously felt a little uncomfortable, "Ask, how old is your grandma?"

"My grandma is 65." The boy stretched out his swarthy fingers, "They all said that my grandma can live to be eighty."

"How can you eat candy at such an old age?" Wu Quan couldn't help but said.

"My grandma can eat it!"

In ancient times, it was a long life to live to sixty, so there used to be a habit of celebrating sixty birthdays. It is common sense for Wu Quan to say this. She shouted, "Ma'am, my grandma can live to be eighty."
