Chapter 5

"Brother, take this with you and save it for lunch. My sister still has it here. Brother is still growing, so don't treat yourself badly."

Li Yuelan took the food from his sister's hands. He was moved. His sister had known how to care for people since she was a child. He didn't expect that she could still consider her brother when there was no food at home.

"Good boy Zhu'er, brother is not hungry, Zhu'er can keep it for himself."

"Brother, Zhu'er won't lie to you, there really is still Zhu'er here, enough for Zhu'er and Xiao An to eat."

After Li Yuezhu finished speaking, he took out another compressed biscuit from his arms and showed it to him. Li Yuelan saw that Zhu'er had not lied, but he still had concerns. Seeing that he didn't move, Li Yuezhu stuffed the oil paper bag into Li Yuelan's arms.

After watching her mother and brother go out, Li Yuelan patted the dust on his body and walked into the house.

"Xiao An came over to eat, the rice is already cold." Li Yuezhu added after finishing the batter for Xiao An.

"Xiao An, my sister is going to the county town today. Is it okay for you to stay home alone?"

"Sister is going to the county seat? Xiao An is going too! Xiao An has not been to the county seat for a long time!"

Seeing the wet and longing look in Xiao An's eyes, Li Yuezhu was not worried about leaving him alone at home, but she was even more worried about taking her brother out.

"Xiao An, be obedient and my sister will leave you something delicious." After speaking, Li Yuezhu took out the remaining piece of compressed biscuit and handed it to Xiao An.

Xiao An twitched his nose. The sweet smell was something Xiao An had never smelled before. He licked the corners of his mouth, swallowed, and looked at his sister eagerly.

"If Xiao An wants to eat delicious food, just stay at home. If you want to go to the county town with your sister, then this delicious sister will not be given to Xiao An."

"Sister, can't Xiao An take this dry food and go to the county town with sister? Xiao An promises not to run around."

"No, Xiao An, you have to choose between this biscuit and the county seat."

Sure enough, Xiao An chose compressed biscuits without any hesitation. The batter he drank yesterday was full of water. How could he satisfy his hunger? Xiao An picked up a biscuit and ate it in small bites.

"Sister eats it too!"

"Sister has already eaten. Xiao An can just eat by himself."

Li Yuezhu carried the baggage given to her by her mother on her back. She also packed it with some clothes that her brother could not wear. Just now her mother told her that Uncle Tiezhu was waiting at the east end of the village and was about to leave.

Seeing that the hour was approaching and the sun was rising high, Li Yuezhu hurriedly ran towards the village.

Sure enough, there was an oxcart parked at the end of the village. On the oxcart was an honest-looking uncle.

"Uncle Tiezhu," Li Yuezhu nodded to the uncle. "Please take Zhu'er to the county town. Zhu'er has to buy some rice and noodles today."

"Hey, it turns out to be Zhu'er. Why, are you going to the county seat today?"

"Yes, my mother asked me to buy some rice and noodles."

"What a good boy. Yesterday, I heard that Zhu'er was hit on the head by that stinky woman. I was worried for half the night. Today, I saw that Zhu'er was so lively, and uncle felt relieved."

"Thank you, uncle."

Li Yuezhu chatted with Uncle Tiezhu, found out the locations of pawn shops and jewelry shops, and asked where to buy grain and oil.

In less than an hour, the oxcart swayed into the city. According to what Li Yuezhu knew along the way, this was a country called Bishu. However, Li Yuezhu had never heard of Bishu. The county was called Ankang County.

Ankang County borders Beijing and can be reached by horseback in just half a day.

Therefore, Ankang County is relatively prosperous.

When Li Yuezhu entered the county seat in a carriage, everything was sold on the street, and there were endless shouts and shouts.

"Okay, Girl Zhu, I'll send you here. Go straight ahead and you'll find the tailor shop."

"Thank you, uncle."

"Remember uncle Shen Shi is waiting here."

"Hey, that's good."

Li Yuezhu said goodbye to Uncle Tiezhu. She first found a pawn shop and a jewelry store. She walked around a few times and found a secluded alleyway. She took off the white washed pink gown she was wearing and put on her brother's.

Wearing dark blue clothes and tying up his hair, a ten-year-old boy appeared in front of him.

Although she was wearing clothes that her brother had already phased out, Li Yuezhu was used to watching TV series, and she could easily pick up the aloof look of a rich lady.

So even though she was wearing shabby clothes and walking on the street, she looked like a noble lady.

Li Yuezhu first went to the jewelry store. This jewelry store is famous throughout the Bishu Kingdom. It is said that it is a store where children and adults are innocent.

When Li Yuezhu stepped in, a shop boy came to greet him.

"Young Master, what do you want? We have everything here, including emeralds, pearls, agate..."

"Okay guys, is your boss here?"

"Okay!"

The boss quickly walked out of the inner room. He was a short and fat middle-aged man, walking towards Li Yuezhu with square steps.

"Hey, young master, I'm surprised. Let's see if there's anything you like and buy a few."

Tao Dashui is famous for his poisonous eyes. He can spot people accurately. This young master has a slender waist and a handsome face. The key is that there is a hole in his ear. He looks like a girl at first glance. He is looking at her demeanor.

, maybe it’s an official lady who stole the slave’s clothes and ran out to play.

Thinking of this, Tao Dashui became even more respectful.

"Miss, look at what we have here. They are all the latest models this year. If you don't like them, we have some better ones."

Li Yuezhu looked at the attentive look of the fat boss and guessed that the boss must have noticed that she was a daughter. Coupled with her deliberately pretended arrogance, he might have mistaken her for a young lady from a wealthy family.

"Boss, I went out today without any money. Look how much these beads are worth. I sold them today."

The more the boss doubted Li Yuezhu, the more exaggerated and arrogant she became.

The big boss was now 99% sure that this little girl must be from a wealthy family, but look at the pearls she took out. It was the first time that Boss Tao had seen such round and plump pearls! Now on the market

Most of the pearls on the pearls are flawed. Boss Tao thinks he is very knowledgeable. He has never seen pearls like this many times. They must have been sent as tribute to the royal family.

With such pearls and the aloof look of this little girl, could it be that this young aunt is from the capital?

Although Tao Dashui was not sure, his attitude became more respectful.

"Sir, how much do you plan to sell these pearls for?"

Li Yuezhu didn't understand the value of pearls in ancient times at all, and she didn't dare to speak casually.

"You have also seen the quality of these pearls. Giving more or less depends on the sincerity of the boss."

When Tao Dashui saw that the little girl's bottom was not revealed, he did not dare to say that it was less. He hesitated for a moment and did not give a price.

"Do you want to buy it or not? My brother is still waiting in the carriage outside. If not, I will take it to a pawn shop and sell it."

When Tao Dashui heard that there was another brother outside, a blue luxury carriage happened to pass by. It was a two-horse carriage with gold rims on the window lattice. It seemed that only the nobles of the palace could ride.

"Buy, buy, buy, young master, I can only give you 500 taels a piece. After all, we need to make money here. If you want to sell, just sell everything to me. We agreed in advance that after you sell,

The money and goods have been cleared, but you can’t go back and ask for it again.”
