Chapter 162: Falling into a Trap
The afternoon sun shines on the snowy scenery of the capital, and then reflects it in the eyes, which is dazzling but extremely comfortable.
Xi Yao went out with a red candle and took a carriage that often went to Qin Anhou's Mansion to see a doctor.
When he said that he went out to buy the ingredients for making the zuò cake, the red candle was very excited.
In the past few days, Xi Yao always gave the cakes that were made to taste the taste to the girls in the yard first, as a first-class girl in Cuizhuyuan, the taste of Red Candle was naturally the most hearty, so when her own lady mentioned that she went out to find the ingredients to make the cake, Red Candle was so excited that she couldn't help herself.
On the carriage, I reminisced about the taste of the cake I had eaten in the past few days, and the red candle little face was flushed.
The so-called what kind of master you follow will be like what kind of master.
Red Candle, who didn't work food, has now become a super gluttonous cat.
Speaking of which, the tastes of the girls in the entire Cuizhu Garden have been spoiled by Xi Yao.
The carriage ran all the way, and when she passed by the Hou Mansion of Qin An, Xi Yao also looked at the mansion, the gate was ajar, and she hadn't entered the red lacquered gate for a few days.
Because there have been a lot of things recently, most of the news from Yuen Long has come out.
The later recovery lies in the patient's own psychology and the consolidation of the medicine, and there is no need for Xi Yao to visit the doctor in person. Therefore, the number of trips to and from the Qin'an Marquis Mansion has gradually decreased.
However, being able to cure a patient like Yuen Long is one of Xi Yao's rare achievements after coming to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Lowering the curtain of the carriage, Xi Yao sighed and instructed the coachman to stop on the street in front of him where there were more ingredients.
Although the streets of Kyoto were bustling during the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were not randomly set up stalls, similar to the modern staggered ones, and the stalls selling food ingredients and cooking tools in the Great Zhou Dynasty liked to gather together.
If he hadn't been in it personally, Xi Yao himself would not have been able to imagine that such an advanced idea of business clustering had been deeply rooted in ancient times so early.
Stepping out of the carriage and standing side by side with the red candle, Xi Yao turned on the shopping mode.
At each stall, wander around, and the food you are interested in is a little bit, and the subsequent purchase and packing work is all red candles.
Before he walked a hundred meters, Xi Yao had already bought a lot of things, and the little people who carried things behind him were a little distressed.
When Xi Yao was carrying all kinds of kitchen utensils purchased from neighboring countries, she suddenly heard a woman shouting not far away.
It's not big, but it's very clear, and it's clearly a cry for help.
Red Candle followed behind her, obviously hearing it, she tugged on her young lady's sleeve and looked at Xi Yao worriedly, "Miss......"
"Red candle, did you hear it, it seems that a woman is calling for help......"
"Miss, the slave didn't hear it."
"Red Candle?"
"Miss, we didn't come out today to save people, the eldest young master instructed when he left, let the slave and maid follow Miss carefully, you can't watch the excitement, you can't drill into the crowd at will, the alley is too deep, and there is no human habitation, we must not be safe in the past, so ......"
"Red Candle, I just ask if you heard ......" Obviously, Xi Yao's personality has come up this time.
Red Candle's face turned red, "Miss, there are so many vendors next to you, so many men don't dare to care, and no one has approached it, so it's not a good thing, let's leave it alone, right?" In case of danger......"
Before Red Candle's words were finished, Xi Yao had already put the kitchen utensils she was holding tightly in her hand into Red Candle's hand, "Pay!" After saying that, he turned around and walked in the direction of the sound.
Red Candle jumped in a hurry, and directly threw five taels of silver to the seller and chased after Xi Yao. I don't even want the money I found.
Let's say Xi Yao, looking for the sound and walking into the alley, the alley is really very narrow and long, only allowing two people to walk side by side, the sound is from the direction of the alley, you can vaguely see that at the end of the alley, two men control a powerless woman in the middle, to do something wrong.
In broad daylight, he was so bold, Xi Yao hated such a thing as a big man bullying a woman the most.
At that moment, his temper came up, and he walked forward boldly, but before he reached the place where the incident occurred, he was blocked by a figure suddenly coming out of a small courtyard in the middle of the alley in front of him.
Xi Yao paused, instantly recognized the person in front of him, and said in an unkind tone, "How can Gongzi Zhou have time to hang out in such a small alley?" ”
Zhou Youcheng was holding his hands behind his back, and when he heard Xi Yao's words, he raised one hand, as if to give a hint to the person behind him.
Sure enough, the two men behind him who were about to bully the woman saw Zhou Youcheng's gesture and immediately stopped their current movements.
Even the woman who was caught in the middle got up instantly, patted the dust on her body, as if she was fine, and walked away side by side with the two male friends next to her.
Fools can see that this is a scheme, Xi Yao shifted his gaze to Zhou Youcheng's face expressionlessly, "Zhou Gongzi, what do you mean by this?" ”
"I want to ask you, my fiancée, what do you mean?"
"The eldest prince is really forgetful, how can we have any marriage contract? It's obviously something that was rejected by your Prime Minister's Mansion, and now you still mention it, shouldn't it hurt your peace? ”
"Oh? When did our Prime Minister's Office refuse any marriage? Didn't you put your marriage on hold until your injuries healed? What about rejection? ”
"If the eldest prince deliberately asked someone to bring me here today, just to say these boring words, then there is no need, I still have urgent matters, take the first step."
After speaking, Xi Yao turned around and was about to walk back.
During the movement of turning the direction, Zhou Youcheng behind him grabbed his wrist tightly.
Xi Yao turned his head sharply, his eyes were not good, "Eldest son, you are too rude!" If I don't let go, I'm going to call someone. ”
Zhou Youcheng laughed loudly, "Qingying, Doctor Qing, should I still call you, Miss General's Mansion?" You've heard the screams of my men just now, isn't that small? But is anyone coming? It's just you who took the bait. How could I be waiting for you here without complete preparation? ”
"Zhou Youcheng, with threats, do you think there will be any good end?"
"At least, I can get you, can't I?"
During the conversation, the two of them have faced each other's identities directly, and no longer use any false ways, they will say whatever they have in their hearts.
"Ridiculous, I'm not a positure, I'm not an object, I'm a person, you are the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it's natural to want to get a woman, but I'm different from them, Zhou Gongzi should give up as soon as possible."
"What if I cook raw rice today? Will the General's Mansion still hesitate? Qin Anhou Mansion, will you still want an unclean eldest lady as a daughter-in-law? ”
