Chapter 018: Encounter Xie Heng
"Miss, Miss, slow down, are we going back to the palace?" Xiangnu followed behind Liu Chupei, and she couldn't keep up.
The person in front suddenly stopped, "Who said they were going back to the palace." ”
It was just now, and they hadn't been out for half an hour, so how could they return to the palace so early.
"But I didn't mean ...... just now," she clearly heard the princess say that she was going back.
"Anu. Liu Chupei glanced at her angrily, "Don't follow me out in the future, when you have half of Xiangdong's cleverness, you will follow me again." She didn't wait for Shannu to say anything, she turned and walked into the depths of the crowd.
Xiangnu didn't understand the meaning of the princess's words for a while, and when she saw her leaving, she didn't care about anything else, so she immediately followed.
"Girl, look at the lanterns, and if you like them, buy one. The vendor next to her saw that she was dressed in brocade and jade, and her bearing was extraordinary, she must be a young lady from a rich and noble family, and looked at her with blank eyes.
Liu Chupei heard the sound and saw that there were more than a dozen lanterns hanging on the shelf, which were not as decent as the palace, and the lamp shapes were also various, she picked up a lotus lantern and looked at it carefully, although the craftsmanship was not as good as those in the palace, it was better than the exquisiteness.
Xiangnu saw that Liu Chupei liked it, so he stepped forward to ask for the price.
"This young lady, this lamp is the best sold today, there is only one left, only the usual money. "Seeing that Liu Chupei likes it, I can't help but be happy when I think I can make some money today.
Who are you bluffing, a lamp wants consistent money. "This vendor is really a lion's mouth, and the money has always caught up with the average person's expenses for a month.
She glanced at Liu Chupei, and stopped talking, where did her princess know what human suffering was, she was pampered in the palace, and where did she know the value of money.
Her monthly money in the palace is only two yuan, and this hawker is good, and she can catch up with her half a month's monthly money with one mouth.
"What's wrong?" Liu Chupei asked when he saw Xiangnu standing there and didn't react.
"Cheaper. "The incense slave did not give up, and grinded with the hawker.
The peddler also knew that it was the woman with the lamp next to her who was in charge, so he said to her, "This young lady, it really can't be cheaper, this is a small business, they all come out to eat, and the whole family is counting on today." ”
"Anu, what are you still doing in a daze. She had already become a little impatient when she heard the vendor chattering beside her.
Xiang Nu was helpless, and snorted softly at the vendor, "Cashier?"
A tael of silver is worth the usual money, and at this time silver has not yet been regarded as official currency, but there are a few in circulation among the people.
Every time he went out, the incense slave only brought some broken silver and a bag of copper coins, and if he went out with a dozen yuan, wouldn't he be tired to death.
When the vendor heard this, his eyes lit up, "Collect, collect." "Sure enough, this young lady is not an ordinary person at first glance, and after he has been doing business for the past two days, there may not be a few people who can come up with silver, which is worth more than his usual money.
Xiangnu took out a tael of silver from his purse, slapped it on the vendor's hand angrily, and walked next to Liu Chupei.
Liu Chupei picked up the lotus lamp and walked along the flow of people, with Xiangnu following behind.
"What are you angry with that peddler? There was a faint shout from ahead, and she stood on tiptoe and looked at the other side, but could not see anything, and turned her head to look at the Champoo.
"Miss. Xiangnu was still a little angry, "That peddler can see at a glance that your status is not low, and when the lion opened his mouth, he is in a hurry to do black-hearted business today." ”
"Okay, just buy a happy one. Liu Chupei pretended to be angry and said, "If you look like this again, I won't let you follow." ”
Okay, okay, in her opinion, where to buy a happy, it is clearly to buy a lesson.
Seeing her say this, Xiangnu didn't want to think about it anymore, and her princess finally came out to play today, and she didn't want to disturb her good interest.
"Miss, Anu will help you hold the river lantern. Xiangnu saw that she was holding a lantern in one hand, and half holding the previous river lantern in her arms, carefully avoiding the people next to her, which was really inconvenient.
"No, I don't. Liu Chupei tightened the river lamp in his arms, this girl is hairy, what if this lamp is broken, it is better to hold it yourself.
Xiangnu knew the temperament of her princess, so she didn't insist, and followed her closely, for fear that if she didn't pay attention, there would be any danger.
Her own princess is really a person who has no heart, she walks all the way, look here, look there, I don't see people passing by will look at her twice, and the people who walk in front also look back a few times from time to time. Xiangnu sighed helplessly, took another half step forward, and followed her.
At this time, a gaze on the opposite restaurant was staring closely at the white figure on the street, not that he was staring at her intentionally, but this white figure was really eye-catching. He played with the wine glass in his hand, took a shallow sip, stood up, and said to the person next to him, "Let's go, it's time to go down and have a look." ”
Not far away, the crowd formed two or three circles, with dozens of lanterns in the middle, and an old man stood under the lanterns, saying something to the crowd.
There was some noise around her, and she couldn't hear it clearly, so she went around a small half circle to the side before finding a place to stand. The old man told a lot of people, and then he realized that a lantern festival was being held here.
Guess the riddle before pressing fifty copper coins, guess the lantern riddle, you can choose a lamp to take away, the fifty copper coins can also be returned, if unfortunately can not guess, then it can not be stopped, not only the lamp can not be given, the fifty copper plate is also lost.
Before pressing the copper coin, the lantern riddle is not announced, which has to fight luck, but also to fight for talent, besides, only fifty copper coins, but not expensive, but also attracted many people eager to try.
A group of young talents are vying to participate, they all want to show in front of everyone, and they want to win a light for the girl next to them.
"Anu, which lamp do you look better?" Liu Chupei was also a little itchy in her heart, although she already had a lamp in her hand, it was good if she couldn't get it, and she was also a little greedy.
"Miss, are you going too?" others don't know, Xiangnu knows how much ink she has in her stomach, she is sleepy when she reads on weekdays, in addition to reading, she can live all day long, although it is not that there is no ink at all, but guessing the lantern riddle is a little difficult for her.
Thinking about it, Liu Chupei also knew that she had a few catties and a few taels, and she just talked to Xiangnu, and she didn't come forward to mix in the crowd, everyone squeezed forward, but it seemed that the place where she was standing was empty.
"That lotus lantern is really beautiful. She looked at the lotus lantern hanging in front of her, lifted the lotus lantern in her hand again, looked at it, and muttered.
I've seen the lotus lantern over there, but the one in my hand is a little insufficient.
Suddenly, she was slapped on the shoulder from behind, and she was so frightened that the lamp in her hand almost fell to the ground.
She turned around angrily and saw a man behind her looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Xie Heng, what are you scaring me for!" As soon as she saw who the person was, she glared at him angrily.
Xiangnu saluted, "Gongzi Xie." ”
"Yo, isn't this Liu Chupei?" Xie Heng stood aside with his hands on his chest, smiling evilly, "Let me guess, how did you end up here." He paused deliberately and leaned forward, "Sneak out." ”
"Xie Heng, let me tell you, you are not allowed to reveal half a word about meeting me here today. She gave him a vicious look and warned him.
Xie Heng is a big mouth, and he will poke out of everything, because of him, she doesn't know how many times she has been punished, and if she meets him today, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
"I'm going to say, what do you do with me?" he laughed instead of being angry.
He laughed and the lights on the side were dimmed a lot, which was not useful to her, this person just had a deceptive face, and she didn't know how bad it was in her bones, others didn't know, but she knew it clearly.
