Chapter 159: A Token of Love
Bowing his head to avoid Wu Shuang's gaze, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the black jade pendant on Xiao Han's waist, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. On www.biquge.info the way back, I kept pondering, although I insisted on returning the jade pendant, but it was beyond my expectation that he really took it back. His attitude towards me was the same as before, why didn't Mo Yupei give it to me anymore?
…… I don't understand.
The end of the year is approaching, and the palace is bustling. Grandpa and the crown prince were busy receiving foreign envoys all day long; The princes, kings, and nobles with titles who were outside were also busy visiting each other after returning to the capital. In order to prevent his grandfather from being caught and working, the master couldn't touch a shadow all day long; Xiao Hanqian also went back and forth between his father and master all day long. The county lord of Qingling is not as idle as before, and he thinks about how to prevent Wu Shuang and Xiao Hanqian from being alone day by day, as if he has become a follower of the two of them. Because Xiao Hanqi's master and brother and sister also lived in Yishiyuan, in order to avoid meeting Wu Shuang, I rarely went out of the house, and then I was really bored, so I went to work as a "courier" for Sister Liu with my brother and sister like at the end of last year. Except for the occasional palpitation when the bell rings on my wrist, it was as if everything was back to the way it was.
After the last "express" was delivered, the three of us decided to take a good look outside. Years ago, the streets were crowded with people, and it was not lively! Some of the people who bought New Year's goods bargained with the vendors, some hurried away with large bags and small bags, and some stopped on the roadside to watch the performances of the various teams gathered for the New Year, and the ...... was full of New Year's flavor.
Several familiar figures in the crowd flickered in front of my eyes, and then the voice of the Qingling County Lord came through the noisy human voice. In a moment, Master, Xiao Hanqi, Xuan Xiao, Wu Shuang, Qingling County Lord, and Ziyan squeezed through the crowd and appeared in front of us. Master spoke, and we joined their team. It was Wu Shuang who decided the direction of the team, because she rarely went out of Bailing Mountain, so this time she was specially to play with her.
No matter how cold a woman is, she is lovely in front of the person she likes, and Wu Shuang is the same in front of Xiao Hanqi. She often playfully wanted to hold Xiao Han's arm, but the county lord of Qingling took a step ahead of her very timely, and then the two began to fight eye-to-eye. But the war between them is not always long-lasting, because ...... From time to time, there are beautiful women who seem to unintentionally pounce on a few handsome guys in the same company, and Master, Xuan Xiao and Senior Brother are naturally no one cares, and they are often succeeded by those beauties. But Xiao Hanqian is not easy to do, the two "bodyguards" around her protect him so that he doesn't even want to move forward, and those beauties roll their eyes in anger, they gang up to break through the defense, but they never have a chance. In the end, Wu Shuang couldn't stand it anymore, so she casually pointed to a store and took everyone in to take refuge.
When I entered the door, I saw that it was a jewelry store, and the counter was full of all kinds of jewelry. Looking at the reeds in this store, it is not something that ordinary people can afford, most of the beauties outside are discouraged in front of the store, and only a few gorgeously dressed women follow in. The women who followed were not as direct, and their self-esteem prevented them from condescending to beg for attention in front of men. They gracefully select jewelry at the counter, take it with them when they are satisfied, show the most beautiful side of themselves to the men in the room, and then smile at the man they like to express their feelings. It's a pity that these four handsome guys don't understand the amorous feelings, and they waste the girls' affection in vain.
Most women can't stand the temptation of jewelry, Wu Shuang and Lord Qingling are no exception, not to mention my senior sister who likes shopping. As soon as the three of them entered the store, it was like a cat meeting a mouse, and they kept moving from counter to counter. Wu Shuang and Qing Ling were picking, but also despised each other's aesthetics, and laughed at each other's chosen jewelry. Because the master said that he wanted to settle the bill for the three of them, the senior sisters and the sisters unceremoniously pulled them into their pockets. Because I was one of the few women, I just followed my sister symbolically and said a few words they liked to hear, not wanting to spoil everyone's interest, but in fact, I didn't plan to buy it at all.
The four men saw that our attention was on the jewelry, and they were pardoned. The owner of the jewelry store saw that he was dressed in extraordinary clothes and had a generous hand, so he invited them to the side for tea and chatting. Xuan Xiao was bored after sitting for a long time, so she helped her little sister choose jewelry with great interest. After each of them had chosen several things, they couldn't find anything they liked, so they wanted to go home. But Xuanxiao said that I didn't buy any of them, so we had to let each of us choose another one as a New Year's gift from him. Senior sister and the three of them ignited their fighting spirit again when they heard it, since it was a gift, and all three of them accepted it, it was not good if I didn't pick it, so they followed and shopped again. On a counter full of rings, I took a fancy to a hollow ring carved from mutton fat jade, which was simple and small, but clean and fresh, and very beautiful. Seeing that I had been staring at it for a long time, Xuan Xiao wanted to pay, but I politely declined. Then he casually picked up a simple pearl and shook it and let him settle the account.
I went back just in time for the meal, so we just ate it together. During the small talk, Xuan Xiao asked me: "Sister Rong'er, I think you seem to like that little ring very much, why don't you want it in the end." If you like it, Brother Xuanxiao will help you buy it next time you go out of the palace? ”
"The jade ring will be broken when touched, and it is inconvenient for those who practice martial arts to carry it." I explained.
"What's this! I usually take it with me at home, and I should hold it firmly in my hand if I like it, and if I miss it, I may not be able to buy it next time! Don't worry, Brother Xuanxiao will definitely help you buy it back. ”
I don't want you to buy it! I organized the language for a long time, and finally got annoyed and said bluntly: "We only give rings when men and women express their love, or propose marriage or get married." So I don't have to buy it, and I won't take it. After listening to my explanation, Xuan Xiao was stunned, and the dish he had just picked up fell back before it was delivered to his mouth, and everyone was silent, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.
After a while, Xuan Xiao laughed a few times, and said with a flickering look in his eyes: "Does Yongan still have this custom?" How I haven't heard of it. Isn't it generally that men give jade pendants, and women send belts to make love? ”
I was eating to hide my embarrassment, but I almost choked to death when I heard him say this. I held on to the table and coughed violently for a long time, and my senior sister patted me on the back to help me calm down, but said unhappily: "This thing varies from person to person!" Rong'er and her family are all about this tradition, what is there to make a fuss about. Brother Xuanxiao, stop talking, eat your meal! Xuan Xiao closed his mouth stupidly, lowered his head and ate violently.
