These days when the ship of the Jade Pavilion went south, not counting the time when the carriage picked up from the ship.

It was the first time I had been in such a bustling city.

Walking through, the night market in Qibei is bustling, and the shops and stalls on both sides of the road are crowded one after another.

I just walked past a stall selling jewelry, and the enthusiastic aunt came up to greet me: "Childe, look at the new hairpin, it is inlaid with the best jade from Qishan, and it is perfect to buy it for the girl." ”

I paused and realized that she was talking about me, so I couldn't help but smile back and say softly: "Auntie is really enthusiastic, but it's a pity that I didn't have enough money with me when I went out today." ”

"It's okay," the aunt's face remained unchanged, "You look good, you can buy it another day, I've been setting up a stall in this place." ”

My heart moved, and I took Cui'er to flash a few steps, walked to the mouth of the alley, and asked under the shadow of the eaves: "Cui'er, I forgot something important." ”

"Girl, no, childe, what have you forgotten?" Cui'er changed her tune quickly.

I made a gesture of weighing the money bag, and Cui'er suddenly realized: "Don't worry. “

She pulled out a bulging purse from her bosom.

"When I came, the steward stuffed it to the slave and maid, saying that it was my aunt, and the son liked something delicious and fun, and the slave and maid paid the bill on the side."

The corners of my mouth hooked, and I smiled: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, and it's easy to do it with silver." “

"I've been following a group of people for a long time, and I almost don't need to spend money, and I've almost forgotten about it after a long time." I quipped, "Luckily, the steward prepared the money bag for me for the event." “

"The money bag for the event? Childe, are you talking about slaves? “

"Well, let's go, since the manager is so generous, we can't say it if we don't spend some money." I'll pull Trell. Return to the crowded streets.

I whispered to Cui'er: "Quickly change your name, don't be a slave slave, beware of being exposed." “

Cui'er looked at me helplessly, looked me up and down, and said: "Childe, in fact, it is only those who have bad eyes that will see you as a man. “

I was stunned. The interface said: "The aunt of the talent? “

"She's dizzy, the lights are dim, she saw it wrong."

I smiled bitterly and said, "Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to meet a ...... with bad intentions?"

"No, the Qibei area is still quite stable. I haven't heard of any robberies or anything like that, but in Qishan, it's not uncommon to encounter bandits there. “

Cui'er comforted me, "Besides, there is a little guy who can punch and kick behind me, in order to protect you." Feel relieved. “

"Cui'er, listen to what you just said, isn't it true that the girls in Qibei City like to go out dressed as men?"

"Not really, it's just that the gauze skirts worn by women are inconvenient to move around, and the robes of men's clothes are relatively easy to move, so some girls are used to changing their outfits when they come to the night market to eat or play."

Cui'er tugged at my sleeve and said, "Look at the man in Tsing Yi over there, he is actually a girl, how can there be a man with such narrow shoulders and such a thin waist?" “

I looked in the direction Cui'er pointed, and sure enough, I saw a short man in Tsing Yi with beautiful eyebrows and eyes who was holding a string of sugar gourds and eating happily. As Cui'er said, shave her shoulders and waist, and if you look closely, you will reveal the flaws.

I secretly said in my heart, someone is still a good disguiser, I wonder how many times on our way to escape, I have been mistaken for a man.

Thinking of this, I feel a little lost in my heart.

Cui'er followed me a few steps, and the stalls on the side of the road were crowded with many people.

"Let's go, let's see." I pulled Truer and flashed into the crowd.

Two low tables, a few benches and steaming snacks over the fire.

Most of the stalls in the Qibei Night Market are a combination of that. This business is particularly booming at the moment.

Next to my ears is the sound of the shopkeepers' shouting and the laughter of passers-by, and the smell of good fragrance comes to my face.

"This is the famous tea balls in Qibei, I heard that the stalls on this street have been set up for many years, and the steward specially instructed the slave maid to take you to taste it."

"This aroma is a bit like the smell of Qishan Huangling." I whispered.

I didn't expect the stall owner to have good ears, and the uncle who set up the stall looked at me happily and said: "The soup base used is boiled from the young leaves of Qishan Huangling, and the herbal recipe prepared by the ancestors is added. “

What an exaggeration! However, my interest had been aroused, and I didn't eat dinner, so I felt hungry at this time, so I pulled Cui'er to sit down and asked for three bowls of meatballs.

The little guy who followed behind him was a little embarrassed to take the bowl that belonged to him, but he didn't dare to share the table with me and Cui'er, so he just stood aside and ate.

The jade-colored tea soup is clear and transparent, reflecting the snow-white glutinous rice balls, I took a bite, and it was still filled with lotus paste.

Cui'er and I didn't eat much, so I ate half a bowl and rested by the way, when suddenly Cui'er pulled my sleeve and said, "Look, the man who came down from the bridge." “

I was scooping up a spoonful of tea soup with a spoon and bringing it to my mouth, when I heard the words and looked up into the distance.

We've just walked halfway through the main street of the Night Market, and the stone arch bridge in sight is a shortcut to another street.

A man on the bridge was descending the stone steps.

The delicate robe of dark blue pearlescent satin, with handsome facial features, but his expression was extremely gloomy, and with the direction of his movement, the people on the bridge flashed to the side.

It is clear that this richly dressed master is in a bad mood, and no one wants to mess with him.

"That boy was born so handsome, why does his face look like a coffin board." Cui'er whispered with a slightly red face, "I've never seen anyone come to the night market like this." “

"But whoever comes to play, who is not happy."

"Eat, buy, and shop, just have fun."

Cui'er is right, regardless of men, women and children in the night market, almost all of them are smiling and happy, how can there be a gloomy face like that person, and the mountain rain is coming.

"I'm blind for this good look." Cui'er said with some gossip and regret.

I couldn't take my eyes off the person who came down from the stone bridge, because he was none other than Chen Yuqing!

He didn't get off the boat when he arrived in Qibei, I never expected that I could see him in the night market at this time!

It's just a matter of seeing it, and it's still such an expression!

What the hell!!

I put the dishes down. Leaned close to Cui'er's ear: "I want to do something, you come with me, okay?" “

"What are you going to do?" Cui'er looked at me in confusion and said, "The slave must be following you." “

"Let's go follow that guy!" I pouted at Chen Yuqing's figure, and looked at Cui'er without blinking.

Cui'er was startled, shook her head, and said, "This is not good. We don't know that son, aunt, what are you going to follow him? “

Cui'er was a little anxious, and her expression fell into my eyes.

I put my finger to my lips and made a "shh

There were a lot of people in the night market, but I kept my head down and pretended to be hungry to eat.

Until Chen Yuqing passed by the stall we were sitting in without squinting.

He didn't pause in his footsteps, as far as I could see. He certainly didn't notice I was here.

Thinking about it this way, I feel more at ease.

On second thought, what if it did?

This is the night market in Qibei, and it is normal to come to Qibei to have a stroll and play.

Even if Chen Yuqing and I really met on a narrow road. It's okay to say hello plainly.

Although it was unpleasant a few days ago, I have been on a boat together for so many days.

Thinking of this, I asked Cui'er to pay, took her with me, and followed in the direction of Chen Yuqing's walk generously.

Chen Yuqing's footsteps were not fast, and we followed him more than ten feet behind.

He didn't bring any of his subordinates, and I muttered in my heart: "When you arrive in Qibei, why don't you be majestic?" Could it be that the people under the Pavilion Master were all assigned to be the Liu family's nursing home? “

Chen Yuqing stopped in front of a porridge shop, I was a little nervous, and at that moment I was still afraid that he would find out.

I hurriedly took Cui'er and flashed into the dark shadow of the eaves on the side of the street. The back is firmly attached to the wall.

Chen Yuqing quickly came out of the porridge shop, still carrying a packed food box in his hand.

"Look at that son, he just went to buy porridge, do you want to follow?" Cui'er whispered to me.

I hesitated and was about to speak, when I suddenly saw Chen Yuqing, who walked out of the porridge shop, unfolded his movements, quickly flashed past a few pedestrians, and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

Did he find me? I watched with some shock in the direction in which he had disappeared.

You don't need to flash so quickly.

"Let's go, Cui'er, come with me to the porridge shop and ask, what did he just buy?"

"Of course the porridge shop buys porridge. There are also all kinds of side dishes, and this porridge shop is also a time-honored brand in Qibei. ”

I didn't care about Lacui'er, so I walked quickly to the porridge shop and asked the guy, "That boy just now, what did you buy?" ”

The young man was stunned for a few seconds before he said, "It's freshly cooked Sydney porridge, do you want a bowl?" ”

It's Sydney porridge! - Sydney porridge!

I was stunned, and I couldn't take a step again.

The guy is still asking:

"Sydney porridge, do you want a bowl?"

"Or?"

…… I walked slowly on the way back.

The night wind is still cold, and the barren and sparse coolness seeps into the hollow heart, and what wants to break out of the chest is forcibly suppressed.

The boredom in my heart forced me to breathe for a while.

......, "Childe, do you want to have a cup of pear blossom white in Qibei?" A few more side dishes to accompany the wine? The old shopkeeper entertained me with a warm expression.

"Okay, let's have a pot." I pushed away the arm that was blocking me, took a drink from the wine glass, and said, "Cui'er, don't stop me!" “

"It's so hard to see that I call the girl my son." Cui'er didn't dare to stop me, and whispered in my ear, "Girl, you've drunk several glasses, and you can't drink anymore." “

Cui'er was so anxious that she stomped her feet on the side and said to the little servant: "You go back quickly, let the steward send a carriage, how can it be good to get drunk later." “

"Cui'er...... You can have a drink too, have you ever drunk, I'm afraid you've never drunk it...... I missed it today, and I won't have such a good opportunity next time...... Cui'er, wine is a good thing, a good thing......"
