The queen must start from the head

Chapter 86
"Come out, come out! The people inside are out!"

As soon as Mu Lian walked out of the door of Sancai Bookstore, a group of people guarding the alley opposite the door started to commotion.

"Why is there a big black dog behind me?" one person asked in confusion.

Someone casually said, "You don't care what a big black dog is, hurry up and pass the news that the woman is out to the hands of the employer, and get a penny to drink!"

The person who asked the question didn't think so.He knew that the woman who walked out of the bookstore was the owner of the bookstore, and he also knew that she was the female saint announced by the monarch to the world a few days ago.A dog following a saintess, could that be simple?The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple, so he also wrote the matter about the black dog in his newsletter.

When Mulian walked out of Shuyuan Street, Dahei followed her on four cheerful legs.

"Dahei, weren't you basking in the sun just now? Why did you come out with me?"

Dahei gave her two "barks", his eyes were bright and sharp.

Mu Lian shook her head and said, "That's up to you, but you can't go too far."

Hearing Mu Lian's indirect consent, Dahei's tail wagged even more joyfully.

One person and one dog walked through a dark alley and came to the main street in the shape of a "well" in the imperial city.

The sun is high in the sky, and it will soon be time for lunch.At the entrance of a restaurant where customers are coming in, there are customers entering in twos and threes to order food. The waiter in the waiting room stands at the door and welcomes the guests very attentively, with a smile on his face.

Dahei, who was originally in step with Mu Lian, suddenly walked a few steps quickly and came to the gate of that restaurant.As soon as he lifted his leg, he poured a bubble of hot yellow urine on the second leg that greeted the guests.

When the boy first noticed the big black dog approaching his feet, he wanted to kick him away, but at the moment when he was about to move his feet, his whole body suddenly froze for no reason, and he could only Watching helplessly as the nasty black dog pissed on his lap.

What's even worse is that the black dog even gave him a look before leaving after urinating, as if he was psychic.

The guests at the door were startled by this scene.Some people laughed at Xiao Er who was so stupid that the dog peed on him, and some people held their noses and hated the shop Xiao Er who smelled like urine.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper at the counter of the restaurant immediately came out, scolded Xiaoer sternly, called him "disgraceful", and ordered him to go back to the backyard, wash and change his clothes before coming back.

Xiao Er was scolded so badly that she didn't dare to talk back at all, but obediently walked towards the backyard.

It's all because of this damned mangy dog, see you next time, he will definitely make it look good!Wait, Xiao Er suddenly had a flash of inspiration, that big black dog, couldn't it be the raspy dog ​​who used to come to the restaurant to beg for food?But that mangy dog ​​from before was thin and ugly, and looked like he was about to starve to death, how could it...

The more Xiao Er thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was sure that the big black dog was definitely a mangy dog.It must be psychic, so I came to take revenge on myself who abused it!
His speculation has to be said to be very close to the truth of the matter.

After Xiao Hei left the entrance of the restaurant, he chased forward for dozens of meters and caught up with Mu Lian who was walking ahead.It took a few sneak peeks at the master's side face with its dog eyes, and saw that there was no displeasure on the master's face, so it continued to follow the master.

In the shops on both sides of the road, there were many people buying things, and the sounds of bargaining came and went.

"... If this robe is twenty cents cheaper, I'll take it."

"Guest officer, how can you bargain like this? When you ordered this robe, we negotiated the price. Now I have finished the things for you, but you come to kill my price. The twenty cents , I can't let it go."

In a clothing store, a thick, thick-haired man was haggling with the store owner for a price.

Seeing that the boss refused to let go and lower the price, the big man was furious, rolled up his sleeves and was about to intimidate the other party, when suddenly his hip felt cold.He quickly turned his head to look down, and it turned out that the cotton trousers he was wearing were pulled from the waist to the heels of the legs by a black dog, leaving his waist naked exposed to the air.

"You dead dog!" The big man wanted to lift his pants angrily, but just as he stretched out his hand to touch them, the pants turned into a pile of rags.And when he turned around, his whole face was exposed in front of the people coming and going.

"Ah! Rogue!"

"Bah, shameless!"

The older girls and younger daughter-in-laws in the past accidentally saw this scene, and all of them covered their eyes and ran away.

"Mom, what is that man doing? Why isn't he wearing pants?"

A child with caramel in his mouth looked curiously at his mother.

"It's a child's house, don't look around." His mother picked him up and left the place quickly.

No matter how thick the strong man's face was, it turned into the color of pig liver under the pointing eyes of passers-by.He stiffened his neck and shouted to the owner of the clothing store, "Boss, give me the robe I ordered. I won't bargain."

It's all the fault of that nasty dog!It made him lose face and coins!

On the other hand, Dahei slipped away after doing bad things, and he was still happy in his heart.Back then, when it was wandering in the imperial city, that man often took a leash to the streets and alleys to steal dogs and eat dog meat.If it wasn't smart enough, it would have already become the appetizer of the big guy just now.

Dahei, who felt that he was in a good mood, quickened his pace to keep up with his master's rhythm.This time the master still didn't say anything to it.

Pass through the lively streets, and then walk along a residential alley, and then you should be the residential areas of Wukong Houfu and Linfu and other aristocratic families.

Mu Lian planned to go to the Marquis of Wukong Mansion to pick up He Ping first, and then go to the Lin Mansion...

Just as she was thinking about something, she suddenly felt the robe at her feet being grabbed by something.

Looking down, Dahei was looking at her with pitiful eyes.Seeing Mulian looking down at him, Dahei quickly wagged his tail, and ran towards the house not far away who seemed to be arguing about something.

Mu Lian followed thoughtfully.

"...Your Zhang family is really unreasonable! The dowry price that was agreed before was 20 taels of silver, but you are good, just doubled it to 40 taels of silver! Where do we want our Wang family to collect such a large amount of money? ?”

A middle-aged couple blocked the door of a man surnamed Zhang, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen stood behind them.The latter lowered his head and rubbed his hands. It was not something he could talk to in the current situation.

The Zhang family couple also stood at the door to stop them, only to hear the housewife of the Zhang family pinch her waist with one hand and count with the other, "You can't say that. My little Yun'er has been spoiled and raised since she was born. It's ten fingers. Don't touch the spring water! I have never let her touch the rough and clumsy work at home. Now I have finally grown into a big girl like a flower and a jade. Your family wants to carry her on a sedan chair just because of this little betrothal gift. Going back, there is no way! The betrothal gift has to be doubled, and when the time comes to greet the relatives, it will have to carry eight sedan chairs. My daughter must marry in a beautiful way..."

After hearing this, the Wang family and his wife looked at each other with a bitter look on their faces.

The housewife of the Wang family said helplessly, "But, this 20 taels of silver is what our two families have agreed upon before!" Their family has always been a small business, and these 20 taels of silver are already a small amount for the family. Half a life’s savings.The other party now wants them to pay another 20 taels of silver and a wedding with eight sedans. This marriage... they really can't afford it.

"What's the deal, who do you talk to? Anyway, if you don't add 20 taels of silver, you don't want to marry my daughter!" The housewife of the Zhang family rolled her eyes and pinched her waist with her hands, as if there was nothing to discuss.

Unknowingly, the head of the Wang family was also angry. This kind of in-laws who recognize money but not people, just don't get married!He was about to break off the marriage, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar black figure appearing in front of him.
