Chapter 271
On the contrary, it adds countless artistic beauty.
The capital of Snow Country.
Indescribably wonderful.
Xu Jiaojiao felt that it was quite pleasant for her and Liao Qing to walk in the snow like this. If you ignore the fact that she is wearing a coarse cloth bucket-sized cotton-padded jacket with big red flowers that is unique to village girls, especially the red trousers of the same color tied around her waist.
As for the belt.
Her outfit is the center of attention when she walks on the street.
The original owner's taste was so down-to-earth that the word "village girl" was almost engraved on the big cotton-padded jacket.
Fortunately, Xu Jiaojiao is not someone who particularly cares about other people's eyes. She calmly takes in all kinds of curiosity, contempt, and disgust.
Liao Qing was okay. Although his jacket was older, thinner, and patched in some places, it was generally low-key and not as ostentatious as Xu Jiaojiao's.
There is also Liao Qing, who is handsome. No matter how shabby his coat is, he can't stand up to his handsomeness. Therefore, he doesn't look ugly. Instead, he has the appearance of a poor young man from a humble family.
"Liao Qing, what did you say last time? Your father picked you up around Bingyang City. Maybe you can still remember the terrain here? You have looked at a few streets. What did you remember?
No?"
Liao Qing was thick-skinned and not embarrassed at all, "Not yet."
Xu Jiaojiao laughed loudly. When Salesman Liao picked him up, he was still an infant and he could remember a ball of yarn.
The boss always lies as if he is telling the truth.
His skin is as thick as a city wall.
The two walked around a few more streets and finally found a few shops selling specialty products.
When I walked in, I saw that there was really a dazzling array of goods from all over the world.
Among them are those selling seafood, which are dried in the sun and packed in magnificent boxes, and covered with transparent gauze covers to prevent customers from getting their hands on them directly.
Xu Jiaojiao asked about the price.
The store clerk looked at her dress and thought she didn't look like someone who could afford it. After asking several times, he went to greet others first.
In the end, it was Liao Qing who asked the shopkeeper for a price, and the shopkeeper quoted him a price.
The price is ridiculously high.
The store clerk said that they should go shopping elsewhere. There are many places selling bargains in Bingyang City. Don't block their store and lower the high-end atmosphere of their store...
Xu Jiaojiao:......!
Should she change into a big cotton-padded jacket? But this is all she wears.
There were still a few stores selling seafood, but Xu Jiaojiao didn't go in anymore.
They all asked Liao Qing to go in and inquire about prices, market conditions, and comparisons.
After walking a few streets and entering dozens of shops, both of them finally felt confident.
I have selected a few suitable stores, and when I am free tomorrow, I will take the box of things to sell, and resell to whomever offers a higher price...
Afraid of news about Xu Darong, the two of them didn't go out again after they came back.
After waiting like this, it was late in the evening.
While Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing were waiting in the inn, Xu Darong came back.
As soon as he opened the door, he said loudly and happily, "Sister, Liao Qing, there is news. I met Master Zhao Bo today!"
"Really? Is fourth brother okay now? What's going on?" Xu Jiaojiao asked hurriedly.
Erlang also came in. Erlang's cotton-padded jacket and hat were also old, and his little face was red from the cold.
There was a brazier when he entered the house, and Xu Jiaojiao quickly asked him to come over and bake next to the brazier.
Xu Darong took off his leather hat and came forward.
There were four people, three boys and one girl, so we booked two rooms.
Three men sleep in a big room, and Xu Jiaojiao, a woman, sleeps in a small room.
The two rooms are connected to each other, which is very convenient.
There was only a brazier in the big house, and it was not time to go to bed yet, so Xu Jiaojiao waited for news in the big house and kept warm.
Have a few words with Liao Qing.
Liao Qing was grilling steamed bun skewers on the brazier.
The food in the inn was expensive and not very tasty, so Xu Jiaojiao bought steamed buns and sauce outside and baked them back in the hotel. It was economical and affordable.
Those who are away from home have little money and need to save people, so they should save what they can.
"Zhao Zhubo said that the fourth child is still in the prison. However, he has food and drink. He has not been interrogated or sentenced again. He is now waiting for the performance of our family members." Xu Darong said.
Xu Jiaojiao said, "That's great. As long as the fourth brother doesn't suffer, then how do you want us to behave? Can you let us go into the cell to see the fourth brother first?"
Xu Darong paused, "Zhao Zhubo said, he wants us to come out with one hundred and fifty taels of silver first and inquire about compensation for the victims for us. As for the question of meeting your fourth brother, I also asked, Zhao Zhubo said
The family members are not allowed to visit for the time being. They say the guards are very strict. Your fourth brother is now involved in a case that almost involved a life. We cannot allow family members to visit at will. Unless the victim withdraws the case and stops suing the fourth brother, our family members can meet. "
"One hundred and fifty taels? You can't let us meet Fourth Brother first? Brother, is this person reliable?" Xu Jiaojiao asked doubtfully.
Xu Darong's face became solemn, "Of course it is reliable. He was the one who passed on the story of the fourth brother's trouble to us. He is a distant relative of our master's family. We had dinner together and talked about friendship before. I am very grateful.
He is an enthusiastic person who keeps his word, haven’t you seen your fourth brother’s autograph letter?”
Xu Jiaojiao thought for a while, "Okay, big brother, we will go with you one day when you pay the money. One hundred and fifty taels is not a small amount. You are not safe alone."
"Master Zhao Bo said that this is a matter of private mediation through the back door. It is not appropriate to bring many people there. Master Zhao Bo hopes that as few people know about this matter as possible. If he is discovered, he will use the back door for us.
, then his job may not be guaranteed. Old girl, please give me the ninety taels of silver you brought with you first. We can just make up one hundred and fifty taels. After mediating with the victim’s family, we can take over.
Things will be easier to handle when we come down." Xu Darong said unhappily with a serious face.
Xu Jiaojiao also darkened her face, "Brother, we can understand Master Zhao Bo's mood, but I am not an outsider. You took Erlang with you today, which shows that the two of them should be acceptable to Mr. Bo. Where are you?
When the money is handed over from heaven, instead of taking Erlang with you, why don’t you just take me? It doesn’t count as a lot of people! Brother, think about it, the money is in my hands, and I earn all the money in our family.
You also have the right to speak, and you can't just be stupid and ask me to take money without even letting me see people's faces. This is impossible."
Xu Darong has rarely seen Xu Jiaojiao's tit-for-tat confrontation. In the past, she often lost her temper, but it was always unreasonable and she was not so calm and strong.
But it was impossible for him to agree, so he immediately said with a serious face: "Sister, what do you mean by this? Are you unwilling to use money to save the fourth child? You earn the money at home, but you are not married.
The money you got should have gone to your father-in-law. It was your mother who loved you so much that she allowed you to keep it. It was okay when the family was in peace. But now that the family is in trouble and you still don’t take it out, what do you want to do?
