Chapter 156 To Ancheng

  The tall and thin man was very eye-catching in the crowd. His footsteps were hurried and purposeful, and the direction he was going in was familiar to Jiaojiao, which was exactly where Brother Meng Jun walked every time he left.

   It should be in the direction of the Yamen. Thinking back to what they said about reporting to officials, Jiaojiao felt that there must be a trap.

  At this time,

  The female shopkeeper in the store came out, smiled and said to Wang Zhuangzhi: "Guest officer has been waiting for a long time, since we are in business, we need to check the authenticity of the bracelet."

  Wang Zhuangzhi was also honest, and raised his hand to give her the bracelet, but Jiaojiao ran over and grabbed the bracelet, angrily said to his father, "I won't let you sell your mother's bracelet."

   After speaking, Jiaojiao ran to the door.

  Wang Zhuangzhi was taken aback by his daughter's unusual behavior. Seeing Jiaojiao running out of the street alone, he was so scared that he hurriedly chased after her, "Jiaojiao!"

  The female shopkeeper was stupefied and the kung fu man disappeared. Seeing that the gold bracelet in her hand flew away, she hurriedly chased it and ran out.

   But the father and daughter had long disappeared on the street, and the female shopkeeper stomped her feet angrily, "Damn it! Why did you run away for them?"

  Thinking of that exquisite bracelet, she felt a pain in the flesh, feeling a little reconciled to finding such a good thing in such a small place.

   And at the same time,

  Jiaojiao took her father and hid in a small alley away from the street. Jiaojiao pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside, and she was relieved when she heard nothing unusual.

  I thought in my heart that I should bring Miaomiao. If I encountered the situation just now, I could ask Miaomiao to find out. But Miaomiao went somewhere early in the morning, so she didn't bring it.

   "Jiaojiao, what's going on, okay, why are you running?" Wang Zhuangzhi looked at his daughter in confusion.

Jiaojiao recalled what happened just now, and leaned into her father's ear and said: "Father, I just heard what the female shopkeeper and that man said about their plan, a business deal, and let that man report to the police, they must be trying to cheat our bracelet .”

Wang Zhuangzhi was startled when he heard this, and quickly touched the bracelet in his arms, recalling the face of the shopkeeper and the man who hurried out, he immediately shouted angrily: "This, these people are really sinister, such a big How could such a shop do such a thing!"

Jiaojiao also felt that these humans like to calculate too much, so she softly said: "Father, let's go to another shop and ask, don't show them the bracelets first, ask the price of all of them, let's go to the big town and ask." .”

  Wang Zhuangzhi sighed, "This is the only way to go, otherwise today will be a waste of time."

  Wang Zhuangzhi went to bring the carriage over, and took Jiaojiao to the shop where Erya bought silver jewelry that day to inquire.

   After asking several times, the high-quality goods in the shop range from 600 to 1,000 taels, and all of them are not as exquisite as the bracelet in his hand.

   After this comparison, Wang Zhuangzhi felt that his bracelet could sell for as little as one thousand taels, or more.

  But the town is a small place after all, the big shops are deceptive, and the smaller shops are even more underpriced.

  This might be the case in Dazhen. After thinking about it, Wang Zhuangzhi decided to go directly to Ancheng.

  Ancheng is not far from the big town, and then go directly back to the big town to settle the 850 taels of shop money with Uncle Song Dong.

  Before the morning sun rose, Wang Zhuangzhi sold Jiaojiao writing paper and ink at the bookstore, and bought a few meat buns on the roadside to eat on the way.

  Then drove directly to Ancheng.

  The horse ran fast, Wang Zhuangzhi walked a path he knew well, Jiaojiao was hurt by the horse's buttocks, so she released some spiritual power to the horse.

  It used to take five hours to travel, but I arrived in three hours.

  The horse was still full of energy, and Wang Zhuangzhi looked surprised. It was the first time he had encountered such a thing, so it was fine to run fast. Why was he so energetic, and he kept praising the horse he bought.

  The prosperity of Ancheng is far more lively than the town.

  The streets are wide and the roads are smooth.

  The people on the street are dressed in beautiful clothes, and various high-end carriages pass by, and some are accompanied by guard servants.

  The small vendors on the street are more regular than the town. They park neatly on both sides of the road. The shops behind them are hung with magnificent plaques. Through the doors and windows, you can see a variety of items, and there are people in rich and noble clothes hanging out.

  Compared to the small streets and alleys in the town, Ancheng is several grades higher.

  Jiaojiao has never seen such a lively place before, her **** eyes are full of curiosity, looking around.

  Wang Zhuangzhi came to sell wild goods twice in his early years, and he had to drive for a day in a bullock cart. Later, because the distance was too long, he sold the wild goods cheaper to the town.

   In the past, I didn’t have any silver taels on me. Every time I carried wild goods, the old shoes and old clothes were out of place here, and others looked at me with disgust. Now that I came again, Wang Zhuangzhi, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn’t help feeling a little bit emotional.

  Seeing a sugar seller beside him, Wang Zhuangzhi smiled and said to Jiaojiao in the carriage, "Baby, you sit in the carriage, and Dad goes to the side to find out where there is a bigger jewelry store."

  Jiaojiao heard this, she nodded obediently and said: "Okay~"

Wang Zhuangzhi drove the carriage to the side, got out of the car and went to the opposite stall to buy a small rabbit candy figurine. While giving the coin, he inquired with someone, "Brother, may I ask if there is any bigger jewelry around here?" shop?"

The middle-aged man who sells sugar heard this, pointed forward, and said casually: "There is a shop named Jin Yuxiang in front of it. From now on, I heard that everything starts from a hundred taels."

  Wang Zhuangzhi heard that and looked over there, and he saw a golden plaque. He was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, big brother."

   Jiaojiao in the carriage opened the curtain and was looking around, when she suddenly saw a familiar figure at the door of the restaurant in the distance, she leaned on the window to take a closer look, but in the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.

  Jiaojiao thought she was dazzled, so she rubbed her eyes and looked again, but there was no one in the place just now.

  Hmm, it looks like Brother Meng Jun.

   But he also thought that Brother Meng Jun was working in the town, so it should be impossible for him to be here, and he probably misread it.

   "Jiaojiao, let's see what dad bought you for fun."

  Wang Zhuangzhi walked over with a smile, holding a vivid little rabbit in his hand, with a bulging belly, which was very cute.

  Jiaojiao's eyes widened. Although she is not afraid of rabbits, she doesn't like them very much, because the wild rabbits in the mountains always treat ginseng as a radish and dig it up and find that it is not a radish. She doesn't like it even if she doesn't eat it.

   "Jiaojiao, let's play with it." Wang Zhuangzhi handed it over.

  Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her small fleshy hand to take it, poked her belly and said, "Its belly is really big."

  Wang Zhuangzhi also felt that the rabbit was a bit funny, and said with a smile: "This rabbit was blown out of sugar, so its belly is a bit swollen. Jiaojiao should eat less, or the tooth worm will hurt."

  Hearing that it was made of sugar, Jiaojiao curiously brought it to her mouth and sniffed it. Smelling the aroma of maltose, she opened her mouth and bit off one of the rabbit's ears.

   Well, sweet and delicious.

  Wang Zhuangzhi smiled helplessly when he saw this, and drove the carriage to Jin Yuxiang ahead.
