Chapter 21 Pleasures
If in the past, he was a "big iceberg" in Cheng Jinzhi's eyes that did not smile and did not give birth to an inch of grass, then now this "iceberg" is at least a little more humane, and it will no longer make people feel "sad and cold, quiet and secluded". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just what Gao Heng said when he rescued her-
"For your sake, I won't bother with you. ”
Was it to praise her or to ridicule her? She still hasn't figured it out.
has been living in the palace for a few days, and under Gao Heng's explicit prohibition of "not going out to show her face", she can only walk in the mansion quietly, drink tea and enjoy the flowers, and become more and more like a lady who does not go out of the door. Except for Gao Xun who quarrels with her in his spare time, the rest of the time is under the unwavering eye attack of stepping on the snow and looking for plums.
She is not a person who cherishes flowers in the sad spring and autumn, and she has no time to sigh the pathos of the withering of all things, and the dirty work in the house is not her turn. At the end of the day, she felt more and more that she had a boring musty smell on her body, from the beginning to the end, so moldy that it was about to smoke.
On this day, she sat by the pond and threw stones into the water in boredom, and heard Gao Xun's enthusiastic shouts from afar.
"Jin Zhi, why are you throwing stones here again, you are all bored?"
"That brother of yours has locked me up here and forbade me to go out, and I'm so bored that I can fill this pool with stones. ”
Cheng Jinzhi turned his head to look at him resentfully, but the movements in his hands did not stop.
"He's also for your good, your identity is still too sensitive now, in case your Cheng family finds out and leaks your whereabouts, then the matter will be troublesome. Gao Xun said seriously, and suddenly pretended to be mysterious, "But it's ......."
"But what?"
"But if you want to leave the palace, it's not impossible. ”
"Are you serious?"
Cheng Jinzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grabbed Gao Xun's hand without saying a word.
Gao Xun looked at Cheng Jinzhi's hand and was stunned for a moment, then changed color and said, "That... There is a night market on Nanmen Street in the west of the city, so if you want to visit it, I can consider taking you there. ”
"The night market, that's delicious! Go, of course. ”
Cheng Jinzhi smiled happily, glanced at the snow behind him with alert eyes, approached Gao Xun and said softly: "But the premise is that you have to deal with her first." ”
"What's so difficult about this?" Gao Xun waved his hand disapplausively, "Ask them to go with us, and if we are discovered, we can be punished by more than one person." ”
"His Royal Highness King Jin, I can't see it, it turns out that you are so insidious. ”
Cheng Jinzhi winked at him with a wicked smile, and the two hit it off, and immediately stood up and walked towards Tyuxue.
"Treading the Snow ......"
"Jin... His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Miss Cheng, there are... Is there something wrong?"
Treading Snow was already timid, but at this moment, looking at Gao Xun and Cheng Jinzhi's evil expressions with overly attentive faces, he felt trembling all over, and quickly succumbed to the shadow of the attack on both sides.
……………
Because he had been in the palace for too long, Cheng Jinzhi was infected by the crowded and lively atmosphere as soon as he stepped into the market, looking left and right, picking up this and putting down that, just picking up the rouge in the rouge shop for a while.
In order to hide people's eyes, Cheng Jinzhi deliberately disguised himself as a man before going out, so the shopkeeper in the shop kept looking at her with a very strange look, only to feel that although the customer in front of him had red lips and white teeth, after all, he was wearing a man's clothes, how could he be so interested in his daughter's household rouge?
"Shopkeeper, how much is this box of rouge, and are there any other colors?"
"Uh... This boy is going to give it away, right?"
"What are you giving away? Of course, it's for your own use. ”
Cheng Jinzhi blurted out a sentence that made the shopkeeper's smile freeze at the corner of his mouth, if Gao Xun hadn't come forward in time to drag her away, the shopkeeper would probably have to be out of business for three days, and he would have thought about life at home.
"Jin Zhi, you are not a woman but a man now, don't look at those rouge shops and hairpin shops. ”
Seeing this, Taxue also hurriedly said: "That's it, Miss Cheng, you didn't see the look in the shopkeeper's eyes looking at you just now, and when you heard that it was you who wanted to buy rouge, you were so frightened that your beard was about to fall off." ”
"Is it so exaggerated, can't men use rouge? ”
Cheng Jinzhi turned around and patted Gao Heng's tender white face playfully, and strode forward.
"If you say you have a good complexion, then you have a good complexion. ”
Gao Xun embarrassedly reached out and touched the side face that was slapped by Cheng Jinzhi, and a layer of happiness faintly rose on his face.
The night market will only open after the day market closes. The three of them watched the bustle and eat all the way, and wandered around for a while, and it was close to evening before they came to Nagato Street.
At that time, the street was already lit up and crowded. Although Cheng Jinzhi was born at the feet of the Son of Heaven since he was a child, he is used to seeing the prosperity of the capital, but it is the first time he has been on the street at night. Therefore, this night market of "selling gold umbrellas to uncover high standards, and Jiang Lotus green plums are full of burdens" is also a very new thing for her.
"There's a sugar gourd there, look at it!"
"Eh, there's still stinky tofu sold there, let's go!"
"What's that bulging thing? I've never seen it before?"
Cheng Jinzhi and Gao Xun scurried back and forth in the crowd, running to the east for a while, and running to the west for a while, just like two fledgling children.
And Taxue followed him with a sad face, always looking for an opportunity to interject, but has been ruthlessly ignored. finally waited for the noisy two to stand on the side of the road, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Jin, Miss Cheng, it's getting late, let's go back early." In case His Royal Highness King Yan finds out that the slaves and maids make their own decisions......"
"Eat, the freshly fried stinky tofu is fragrant. ”
Before Taxue finished speaking, Cheng Jinzhi had already stuffed a string of stinky tofu into her mouth.
Treading the snow smelled the smell of stinky tofu, after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of food, but unfortunately a bunch just got down, and there was a sense of guilt in his heart that he had been bribed.
"Miss Cheng....."
Cheng Jinzhi knew what Treading Xue was worried about, so he took her shoulders and said softly: "Treading Xue, we are now people in the same boat, you don't want to abandon the boat and abscond, right?"
"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare. ”
Looking at Cheng Jinzhi with a smile on his face, Taxue shook his head again and again in denial, but the expression on his face was very aggrieved.
"That's right. Cheng Jinzhi patted Treadsnow's shoulder comfortingly, "You just think you're on a big boat, rest assured." ”
Although Taxue answered, she felt in her heart that what she was on at the moment was obviously a thief ship that would capsize at any time.
"Gee, there's a fireworks seller there!
Before Taxue mustered up the courage to speak again, in a blink of an eye, Cheng Jinzhi had already stopped in front of a fireworks vendor, and there were two more strings of lit fireworks sticks in his hand.
"It's so beautiful, I envied those children who used fireworks as fairy sticks when I was a child. ”
Cheng Jinzhi waved the shining streamer in his hand, and a long-lost longing appeared in his eyes.
Indeed, because she had no playmates as a child, she could only hide in the shadows, secretly watching her brothers and sisters chase and play, and finally when everyone was gone, she dared to pick up the remaining half of the fireworks sticks they played.
Gao Xun looked at Cheng Jinzhi under the floating light, was dumbfounded for a while, and said with a smirk: "If you like it, I'll go back and buy a big stack for you to put in the yard." ”
"Thank you so much. Cheng Jinzhi smiled, waved his fireworks stick at Gao Xun and shouted, "Look at me turning you into a pig!"
"Why a pig! I want to be a lion!"
Gao Xun complained half-jokingly, but Cheng Jinzhi, who was still in high spirits, suddenly stopped what he was doing.
She stared at Gao Xun behind her in horror, as if she had seen a demon or a monster, and the fireworks stick in her hand fell to the ground, lit up a few times, and then went out.
