Because of the secret of his identity, Wei Lai never dared to get close to people. In the past twenty-three years, she has never held hands with anyone, male or female, except for her mother.

While Anqi's initiative surprised Wei Lai, he subconsciously earned it. However, this girl somehow had brute strength, and Wei Lai's subconscious struggle was not able to break free, so she was dragged by An Qi from the Marshal's Mansion to the street.

Wei Lai's temperament is easy-going, and he has never embarrassed people, and Anqi is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, so she will naturally give in a little more. So after coming back to his senses, Wei Lai stopped breaking free, and only coughed lightly and reminded: "Miss An, in this public, it seems a little inappropriate for you to pull me like this." ”

Just holding a hand, in Anqi's opinion, it was not a big deal, and even snorted lightly: "I can't see it, Brother Wei, you are pedantic." I don't care anymore, what do you have to care about. But after all, she let go of her hand in the end, and only held her head high and made a proud and disdainful look.

Angel is actually not a person who doesn't know the importance or etiquette, but she is now sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is not a little girl, and the marriage is imminent. Marshal Wei arranged for her to get along with Wei Lai this time, for what reason, she naturally wouldn't not know, plus she looked at Wei Lai and was still pleasing to the eye, so she unconsciously gave birth to a little closeness.

Wei Lai naturally didn't think about it so much, she looked at An Qi like a child without scruples, even if she might be closer in the future, she was just a younger sister. As for what Marshal Wei and An Qi thought of them, she didn't care at all, because she had never thought about what she wanted to do with An Qi.

She is destined to be lonely in this life, so why should she involve others?

As for thinking about it, Wei Lai couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart. It's just that many years have passed, and she has already passed the time when she complained, and she didn't show anything at the moment, but said: "Miss An, don't you want to go to the south of the city to have a look?" It's not too early, so let's go. ”

Although Anqi's previous behavior was a little reckless, she was actually a coarse and delicate person. Although Wei Lai didn't say anything, and even his expression didn't change much, she just knew that Wei Lai was in a bad mood. The little girl pursed her lips, a little aggrieved, but after all, she didn't say anything, just nodded obediently, and followed Wei Lai.

******************************************************************

It is probably a woman's nature to like shopping. It is the same in this regard, whether rich or poor, young or old, regardless of region or even era. However, there are always accidents in the world, and unfortunately, Wei Lai is this accident.

Wei Lai doesn't like to go shopping, and she doesn't like to buy things. When she was at home, her mother prepared a qiē for her, and after the expedition, she didn't have the time and opportunity to go shopping and buy things, and now she finally returned to the capital to go out of the barracks a few times, and none of the rough men along the way with her would like to go shopping. She was used to this kind of life, and she didn't feel anything wrong.

So, for Wei Lai, the matter of accompanying Anqi to go shopping today became novel and helpless.

Angel is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in the end, and she happens to be pampered by her family and grew up, and her temperament is also simple. The unpleasantness and worries of the moment when she first went out had long been left behind by her at this moment, and a pair of eyes were all attracted by the bustle of the south of the city, and she had to come up and see anything new she saw.

Compared with Anqi's curiosity and enthusiasm of running around to see the excitement, Wei Lai's cousin seemed much more deserted. Although she was born in a small town in the south and had just returned from northern Xinjiang, her knowledge was not as wide as Angel's, but she was interested in those things, and no matter how delicate things were, she just glanced at them, and she didn't even have the idea of going to take a closer look.

"Brother Wei, there are a lot of people in front, and I don't know what they sell, you can go with me to have a look." Angel had just bought a delicate hairpin from the shop next to her, and as soon as she went out, she saw a circle of people on the street in front of her. She was shopping happily, she had forgotten the unpleasantness before, and she was even a little carried away at this time, and when she was excited, she directly hugged Wei Lai's arm.

Wei Lai was taken aback, and hurriedly broke away: "Miss An, it's not good to be seen." ”

Seeing that Wei Lai looked like he was afraid that others would misunderstand him and wanted to dissociate himself from him, even if Anqi was straightforward, he felt displeased. She pursed her lips, and didn't care about the excitement, she only stared at Wei Lai's eyes and asked, "Wei Lai, do you hate me very much?" ”

It's just that some of the warmth and intimacy are too close, so naturally she doesn't hate it, and with Wei Lai's temperament, she rarely hates someone. So she shook her head honestly and said, "Naturally, no." But...... It's just that I'm not used to it. ”

Wei Lai has always been able to leave a little affection when he speaks, and Anqi's face really looks much better when he hears this. She thought that Wei Lai had fought in northern Xinjiang for seven years, and there were men all around him, so he probably didn't know how to get along with girls, right? So he eased his expression again, and didn't mention the stubble, and pointed to the crowd in front of him: "Then let's go and have a look." ”

Seeing that An Qi's face was back to normal, and he didn't move his hands and feet again, Wei Lai was also relieved. She said yes and followed Angel to the place where the crowd had gathered.

Not far away, a little girl was glaring viciously at the backs of the two of them, and complained angrily while glaring: "Miss, look, that Wei Lai is really not a good person." In this public, he is pulling and pulling with a girl's family, and he is a prodigal son! I really don't know what the master likes about her. ”

He Zhi pursed her lips, but ignored Xi Qiu's complaints. She stood where she was and thought about it, and finally stepped forward, heading in the direction of Wei Lai and the others......

*****************************************************************

When Wei Lai and An Qi walked to the place where the crowd gathered, there were already more and more people, and the posture of the three layers and the outer three layers made it impossible for those who came after to see what was happening to you. But people always like to join in the fun, and the more people around, the more curious the people outside become, so although they can't see what is happening, no one leaves.

An Qi stood on the outermost probe and looked at it for a long time, but except for the black and oppressive human head, what kind of excitement was inside, but she couldn't see it at all. She pouted, a little unhappy.

Wei Lai was not interested in joining in the fun, but seeing that An Qi was unhappy, thinking about the previous two refusals, she still made a move - the crowd looked surrounded by water, and I didn't know how she moved, so she forcibly branched out and led An Qi into the innermost part of the crowd.

An Qi happily followed Wei Lai in, but when she got inside, she was a little disappointed. With so many people surrounding her, she thought it was something lively to see, but in the center of the crowd it turned out to be just an old woman setting up a stall selling jade pendants. And at a glance, the only jade pendant on the stall is nothing special, and the people outside probably didn't know what to surround them, right?

Like Anqi, Wei Lai was also surprised, but there was always a reason why so many people could come to watch. She glanced at the jade pendant that the old woman wanted to sell, she didn't know the jade, and she didn't know whether the jade was valuable, but she thought it looked beautiful. It's just that when I looked at the small sign standing next to me, my eyes widened a little suddenly--just that looked like an ordinary jade pendant, this old woman actually asked for a hundred taels, and she didn't bargain?!

Is it more than a hundred taels? For wealthy families, there are naturally not many, not even a dime. Is a hundred taels less? For ordinary people, it is definitely a lot, enough for a family of five to eat for ten years!

The old woman just set up a small stall on the side of the street, and most of the children of rich and noble families would not buy anything in such a place, so for those who came and went, this thing was a sky-high price. There are not many people who know jade, and there are not many people who have the money to buy it, but there are never a few people who watch the excitement, and gradually there are so many people.

As soon as Wei Lai recovered from the shock of the "one hundred taels" price, he heard an idle man say: "Old woman, you stall owner has been setting up for a day and no one has come to see it, so it can be seen that this thing is not very good." I'll give me a tael of silver, and you sell it to me, and then pack up and go home." ”

The old woman who sold jade pendants was dressed plainly, and it seemed that her family was not rich, but she was calm, and so many people watched and saw her not panic. Listening to the idle man's words, she raised her eyelids and glanced at the other party lazily: "One hundred taels, no two prices." After saying that, he ignored people again, looking like the old god was there.

Fortunately, the idle man also said it casually, and he was not very angry when he saw that the other party ignored him, so he only hummed twice: "A piece of broken jade, I don't see where it is good, and I still want to sell it for a hundred taels?!" I see, there's no hope that this stall will be on the table until next year. ”

The people around laughed, but no one had any intention of buying. This group of people is just watching the excitement, but they surround the place, and there are people outside who may know the goods and want to buy, but there is no way to come in. The old woman's stall was probably in vain, but she was not angry, and she answered when asked, but she said less.

There's really nothing to see about this bustle. Wei Lai didn't want to see this old woman wasting her time here in vain, and being ridiculed by everyone, and she didn't want to waste a hundred taels of silver to buy that jade pendant—a hundred taels of silver could go back to her hometown to buy a lot of good land—so she frowned slightly, and planned to call An Qi beside her to go away.

However, as soon as Wei Lai turned his head, he heard a female voice behind him say softly: "Mother-in-law, can you let me take a look at this jade pendant?" ”

With an unconscious jump in his heart, Wei Lai hurriedly turned around. What caught my eye was the face that was already very familiar.
