Along the way, he was held by Xiao Chu and walked out of the alley with a smile.

After turning a corner, the noise came to my face, and I looked at the pedestrians on the street and the shops on both sides, and for a while I forgot about those troubles, only for this fresh, never-before-seen market in Daye.

Once again, I broke free of his hand and walked over to the edge of a stall and looked down.

The lady was selling a headdress that was loved by the girls in the Heavenly City.

When I came, I saw from the corner of the curtain that I saw many girls in the street wearing this kind of hair ornament made of copper wire and colored beads.

Originally, I thought that Xiao Chu warned me that as soon as I arrived in Yingtian, I would not leave that courtyard for half a step, but I didn't expect that I would still be able to go out on the street and walk this night market like the people in Yingtian City.

Being able to hold it in the palm of my hand to check and choose hair accessories makes me happy.

I picked and chose a hairpin with an orchid-shaped tail strung together, and I asked the people around me without turning my head: "You say, is this good-looking?" ”

There was no answer, I turned my head to look, Xiao Chu didn't know when he was gone.

I put down the hairpin, my heart was flustered, I just shook off his hand, why did it disappear after a while, could it be that it was crowded out by the crowd?

The eldest lady greeted me and said, "This little boy, but do you want to buy it for your sweetheart?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, remembering that I was wearing men's clothes now, and I couldn't help but blushed and shook my head: "I'll buy it another day, I got separated from my brother, and now I'm going to find him." ”

Leaving the side of the stall, I looked at the crowded street, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

I walked a short distance in disappointment, thinking to myself whether to go back to the house now or continue to search.

Wait a minute! Which way is the way back to the house?

I turned my head to look around, and I saw that almost all the alleys connected to the long street looked similar.

I stood on the street frowning and was hit by a tall pedestrian passing by. One stumbled, about to fall, but it was the same as before. Fall into the familiar warm bosom.

As soon as I saw Xiao Chu, I pushed him away and said angrily: "Said he brought me shopping." How do you turn your head and walk away. "What's on your head?" I reached out to uncover the hat he was wearing, and there was gauze on it to block his face, so I couldn't see his true face clearly.

"Xiao Ling'er," he leaned away, I didn't catch him, but he held my hand and smiled: "It's okay to go shopping with you, but it's inconvenient for me to walk outside like this." "There's nothing to hide around me. I could only buy this temporarily. “

I looked around the street and saw a lot of people wearing hats like this, but I saw people wearing them walking past one after another, and I didn't see any man wearing them.

I flicked my sleeves and was in a good mood. looked at him and said happily: "You are wearing this, it looks like this boy is shopping with girls." “

Xiao Chu slightly lifted the curtain under the hat, and said with a pair of bright eyes with a little displeasure: "What are you happy about?" “

I covered my mouth and smiled, and suddenly remembered that I was wearing men's clothes now, and I let go of my hand. He smiled generously at him and bowed a man's salute, and arched his hand: "Girl, don't be angry." "Besides, no matter what you buy tonight, I won't pay for it!"

I laughed and said, "So, I just don't make fun of you tonight." Will I pick and choose the things on the street? "yes." The smile in his eyes couldn't hide it, "But I have additional conditions. "Tell me about it." "I pay, not responsible for helping you get it, as long as you can take it yourself, you can choose."

I pursed my lips and whispered: "Wearing a hat, I will become a girl in an instant, and I have to confirm this identity." "What did you say?" His eyes swept me coldly, and I quickly pursed my lips and stopped talking.

Walking all the way, I wandered in front of several shops, and after a while, I was holding and carrying a bunch of them.

I wanted to buy a lot of things, but I couldn't do enough, so I could only sit on a stone bench on the side of the street and look at the market and sigh.

At this hour, I don't know if my father and mother in Daye City have fallen asleep, they probably thought that their daughter was on the way to the capital.

and Cui'er, I'm afraid that she will also be taken away by the people in the palace now.

In stark contrast to the bustle of the streets, my feelings began to drop, and I slowly hugged my knees and pondered.

After a moment of silence, I thought about it again, and first looked at the most favorite thing I bought just now, which was a set of delicate tools for making zuò hair accessories.

I look at the hair accessories that the girls in Yingtiancheng like, in fact, it is not difficult to make zuò, I have better ideas, I can bring forth the new.

But after such a short period of effort, the pile of things around me disappeared without realizing it!

I stood up, and quickly caught a glimpse of a suspiciously shaped carriage under a large tree on the side of the street.

I walked over, and before I could lift the curtain, someone in the car had already leaned out and pulled me up.

I was startled, Xiao Chu looked down at me in his arms, and said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Xiao Ling'er, you are sitting on the street alone and thinking about it, I don't even know that I have emptied the things around you." "Isn't it a pity that you couldn't buy all the fun things on the street?" Xiao Chu raised his hand and brushed the hair on my sideburns and asked.

I pushed his hand away, glared at him, and said, "It's you who feel sorry for the silver, so quickly hide and run into this carriage." "Everything you buy is in the car." He pointed to the pile of things placed on the side of the wall of the car, "I don't understand, why do I still buy this?" “

With that, he took out the bag of tools from the pile of items that I had just wanted to take a good look at. "You don't know," I said, taking it from his hand, weighing it in my hand, and looking at it, and laughing, "I'm surprised that I can buy this, and it's so right that you've brought me to the market this time." ”

"I used to do some small handicrafts in Daye, but I didn't have the right equipment, and I once asked Cui'er to go out to find craftsmen in the city to customize them for me."

"Yingtian's market items are much richer than Daye's, and I actually bought ready-made ones!"

"With this, I can make hair accessories that the girls in Amagi like, as long as I buy some colored beads, it's not unusual for me to make a few a day." "Is this necessary?" Xiao Chu raised his forehead and said, "These things are rough in workmanship, and there are shops on the street, and if you say that the craftsmanship is exquisite, there are also skilled craftsmen in the palace." “

I sighed and said, "Made by the craftsmen in the palace, how many girls on the street have the opportunity to wear them?" ”

Xiao Chu looked at me and stopped talking.

I played: "The heart of beauty, whether it is people in the palace or outside the palace, is the same. "I bought these to spend my leisure time in the house." "You can't look at the flowers and plants every day, eat and sleep, sleep and eat." "Who said you only do these things every day," Xiao Chu took the bag of gadgets from my hand, put them aside casually and said, "I asked Mama Xu to come, but I have a serious task entrusted to you." "You need to learn etiquette, Mama Xu is the most expert, she will do her best to teach you." "Etiquette?" I frowned and said, "Don't learn that, I'm not in the palace, what are you doing learning that?!" “

Xiao Chu looked at me helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll tell you this on the first day I came, or let you play for a few days first." "Xiao Chu, when the wind passes," I said worriedly, "I mean, when the pursuit of the secret guards on King Ning's side is over, can I quietly go back to Daye City?" "Why?" He took my hand and looked at me fixedly, "Isn't it good here?" “

I shook my head and said, "I didn't mean that, I came to a neighboring country, and my father and mother were actually kept in the dark, in case, no, it must be!" The secret guards must have searched for a period of time to no avail, and when the time comes, they will definitely go to my father and mother if they want to find other clues. "If I can't get them to safety, I'm always hanging on my mind day and night." "When you go back, are you going to let King Ning's people catch him in the palace?"

Xiao Chu said unhappily, "I took a lot of trouble to bring you here, do you have to take the initiative to go back and send yourself to the hands of the secret guard." "In Daye City, how many eyes and ears of King Ning, a weak woman who doesn't know kung fu is equivalent to a sheep in the mouth, even me, it is difficult to send the news to your father and mother without revealing the news."

My eyes dimmed: "I can't stay in a neighboring country all the time like this, my father and mother are still in Daye, and even the personal maid Cui'er may be in the hands of King Ning's people now." "I'm safe alone, what about them?"

"I promise you that I will ensure their safety, and when the time is right, I can pick them up and come over, you just need to stay here with peace of mind, do what I tell you, don't think nonsense, can't you?" Xiao Chu was silent for a while, and then responded to me.

"I'm busy dealing with different people today, and I have to find some excuses to deal with them when I go out for a few days, and I'm already very tired, and I want to spend time with you at night, so that you can be happy, and don't argue with me about these things."

"Since I took you over, I will definitely not let you stay in Yingtian for no reason, you have to believe me, it's just that it will take a little time."

I watched him without speaking, staring at him with a pair of eyes, trying to see a clue in his eyes, but I only saw a trace of tiredness in his clear eyes.

Raising his hand to hold me in his arms, Xiao Chu said softly: "Xiao Ling'er, I have never missed an appointment with you, I think you should understand my mind." ”

I closed my eyes and whispered, "If I don't understand, how can I follow you here, but I'm not alone, and there are family members standing behind me." "What I hope most is that my family and you are by my side, but, in case, in case" "I am also willing to follow you, I can go anywhere, even if I follow you to the ends of the earth, the bottom line is to ensure that my family is not implicated by me, to ensure that their lives are safe and worry-free." ”

"Now, the imperial court is hunting down the so-called mountain bandits who robbed me, but I have a feeling that if King Ning is so easy to fool, how can he sit in that position?"
