Chapter 21: Untitled
met Chen Kebin in the Ministry of Industry, which was something that Shen Qiwu never expected. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She and Chen Kebin have only met once, that is, at the poetry meeting of Zuixiangxian Restaurant, Chen Kebin painted a picture of Fengxue Yiren, leaving a shadow in Shen Qiwu's heart.
Although Chen Kebin also looked for her later, he was not able to meet her because of the staggered time. I met in this ministry today, and I don't know if it's fate.
Chen Kebin is wearing a white Confucian shirt today, wearing a scarf on his head, and with his clear face, he looks as proud as a plum blossom. He made Shen Qiwu's eyes involuntarily flower. Because the weather was still a little cool, he still had a scarf around his neck.
"Chen Gongzi, why are you here?" It is understandable that Shen Qiwu came to the Ministry of Industry to borrow people, because after all, she brought the gold medal given by the emperor to do business. But Chen Kebin has no official status now, he can only be regarded as a civilian, how can he enter and leave this Ministry of Industry?
Chen Kebin walked forward quickly, with an irrepressible joy on his face, he first greeted Cao Ren, and then explained to Shen Qiwu, "Because I am the protocol elected by the scholars, I am also responsible for some chores of the poetry club, and I happened to come to the Ministry of Industry today to do some things." ”
Because Zhao Mu was ordered by the emperor to preside over the convening of the Beijing Poetry Conference, Shen Qiwu couldn't help but be concerned about this matter. She also knew that the protocol was a representative figure elected by many scholars, but she didn't expect it to be Chen Kebin.
Although Chen Kebin's talent is indeed admirable.
"Chen Gongzi, Miss Shen is going to take a look at the place of the Poetry Society, and it just so happens that you are going too, so I bother you to lead the way." Cao Ren said to Chen Kebin, looking more humble than Shen Qiwu, he nodded slightly to Shen Qiwu and left.
"Please, Miss Shen." Chen Kebin stretched out his hand slightly, very polite.
Shen Qiwu was a little helpless, thinking to himself what was the matter, obviously he came to the Ministry of Industry to borrow someone, but he didn't expect to meet Chen Kebin here. It stands to reason that a young man like Chen Kebin will definitely flock to the women around him. But Shen Qiwu was not interested in him at all, not to mention that she had already been married to Zhao Mu, even if she did not have a marriage contract, this Chen Kebin was not the type she liked.
followed Chen Kebin out of the Ministry of Works, and the groom was still waiting outside. When he saw his young lady coming out of the gate of the Ministry of Works, he was ready to get on the horse and set off.
"Miss Shen, this place is not far from the city, why don't we walk there?" Chen Kebin's brows furrowed, and he looked at Shen Qiwu with a look of hope. It seems that if Shen Qiwu doesn't agree, he will become a sinner for the ages.
Shen Qiwu frowned, she looked at Chen Kebin and hesitated slightly, "Okay, then Gongzi Lao Chen will lead the way." Shen Qiwu didn't know why she agreed to Chen Kebin's request, she just felt that she seemed to have developed a habit of riding the carriage, maybe it was time to walk away.
"You go back to the house first, I want to go with Gongzi Chen to do something." Shen Qiwu instructed the groom to drive the carriage back first, she got into the carriage and took out a book, and then asked the groom to drive away first.
"Let's go, Gongzi Chen." Shen Qiwu took a few deep breaths, slowly walked forward, and stood side by side with Chen Kebin.
The two were surprisingly silent along the way, Shen Qiwu didn't want to speak, and Chen Kebin didn't know how to speak.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and there were gradually more pedestrians in the capital. The vendors on the side of the road have set up small stalls, and the shouts of the restaurant guys are also heard on both sides of the road, which is particularly lively.
Shen Qiwu travels in a carriage on weekdays, although he can clearly feel the fireworks in the market, but it is not as real as this walking experience. Along the way, she kept glancing at the snacks and gadgets sold by the vendors, and she seemed a little lively.
Although Chen Kebin on the side did not speak, his eyes stayed on Shen Qiwu's body, and when she saw her enthusiasm for the realization of those gadgets on the street, the corners of her mouth would be filled with a warm spring-like smile.
"Miss Shen is very interested in these gadgets?" Chen Kebin stopped and stood in front of a small vendor's stall.
Shen Qiwu stopped with him, and when he saw that he had discovered his activities along the way, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She looked at the knick-knacks in front of the vendor's stall and blushed slightly, "I just haven't seen much of these things." ”
It's funny to say, Shen Qiwu doesn't seem to have gone shopping much since she came to this world, and the only time she remembers it was the time she went out with Huan'er to watch the Lantern Festival. However, that day was the Shangyuan Festival, and the vendors were naturally selling all kinds of lanterns, so how could they put these cheap gadgets.
Chen Kebin smiled slightly and didn't ask anymore. Just his gaze casually swept over the knick-knacks placed by the vendor.
Shen Qiwu's gaze froze slightly, because she saw a good-looking wooden hairpin on the stall.
The appearance of the wooden hairpin is quite ordinary, but Shen Qiwu likes the pattern carved on it. A phoenix is carved on the top of the wooden hairpin, as if it is injured and is perching quietly, lifelike.
"Boss, what is this hairpin made of?" Shen Qiwu asked, she wanted to buy this wooden hairpin, although it was just a street gadget, not as good as the hairpin on her head, but there was still a unique charm that attracted her.
The merchant saw the man and woman, the man was handsome and handsome, and the woman was as beautiful as a fairy, like a golden boy and a girl. Looking at the clothes and temperament, he knew that he was a child of a rich and noble family, and he replied busily, "Back to this young lady, this hairpin is made of sycamore wood." It is carved with a pattern of a phoenix perched, which means that the phoenix perched on the phoenix. ”
"Phoenix, perch?" Shen Qiwu nodded slightly, her eyes were somewhat hot, and she felt that the more she looked at this wooden hairpin, the more happy she became. So she decided to buy this wooden hairpin, but she touched it in her arms, but a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face.
It seems that I don't have any money on me, no, no, it's that I don't have the habit of bringing money at all. On weekdays, Huan'er is responsible for the expenses in the small courtyard, which means that the financial power is in Huan'er's hands.
Shen Qiwu has a light temperament, and he rarely goes out on weekdays, so he naturally doesn't carry any silver on his body.
"What's wrong?" Chen Kebin, who was on the side, noticed Shen Qiwu's embarrassment and asked softly.
"I... Not.. Bring money. Shen Qiwu's face was slightly red and a little embarrassed, no matter how he said that he was a big man with a head and a face, but he couldn't take out a penny on his body, so he was embarrassed and thrown home. No, no, when you go out in the future, you must let Huan'er prepare more silver to take with you.
