Chapter 62: Listen to the book
“…… She's infatuated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xiao Xiao poured himself a cup of tea and said leisurely while drinking.
The little bun next to him didn't say a word, frowning, as if thinking about something.
"What are you thinking?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"I'm thinking about that man in black...... "Little Bun said after a pause, "who sent it?" ”
This is also what Xiao Xiao is puzzled about. If it is sent by the right prime minister's forces, it is too risky, and it will cause suspicion and burn himself. If it is just a simple enemy, how can it choose to attack in such a sensitive time?
Xiao Xiao subconsciously slowed down his speech and said, "Let's assume that it was not the right prime minister's forces who did it, but the enemy of Memorial Cheng who wanted to take his life. Don't pick other moments, but choose to attack Governor Li's Mansion when all Qinglou is under suspicion, what kind of mentality do you think it is? ”
Xiao Baozi followed Xiao Xiao's thoughts and said, "If this speculation is so, then this enemy may be afraid that Remembrance will reveal his secret." As for the secret...... It must have something to do with gunpowder. ”
Xiao Xiao smiled, put down the teacup, and looked out leisurely.
"When the scales come back, everything will fall into place."
Xiao Baozi was faintly uneasy in his heart. The Assassin would not allow himself to be captured alive, and if he killed himself before the scales, the trail would be cut off.
Who else is behind this matter? How many wealthy businessmen were involved? When these are uncovered one by one, will they cause an unquellable storm in the imperial city?
Xiao Baozi fell into this series of thoughts, and unconsciously Xiao Xiao raised his hand. Xiao Xiao flicked his head, and the little bun came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Xiao in a daze.
"It's useless to think too much, just go outside with me."
Xiao Baozi just wanted to object, after all, Xiao Xiao's body was still very weak, and although he had recovered a little now, he still felt a little chilly, but as soon as Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, he gave in.
"But you have to wear more ......"
Xiao Xiao's head was big when he heard this. The last time he said this, he wrapped her into a zongzi, and it was inconvenient to walk, where would he still be interested in having fun?
"Just take my silver rat cloak, and I'll put it on if it's cold."
Although she couldn't grind the little bun in the end, she always had to struggle.
Xiao Baozi looked at her silently, Xiao Xiao sighed, and consciously wanted to change into a silk jacket. Xiao Baozi said, "You wait here, I'll go get the cloak." ”
Xiao Xiao looked at Xiao Baozi in surprise, and when he brought the cloak, she said unaccustomedly: "I'm still going to change into thicker clothes?" ”
I thought that Xiao Baozi would say that if you don't want to wear it, don't force it, but he suddenly smiled, as if he didn't know that Xiao Xiao was saying kind words, "Then go ahead." ”
Xiao Xiao came to his senses and looked at Xiao Baozi complicatedly, how did this guy become so cunning after leaving him for a while? will also turn around and force himself to wear more clothes.
When I got to the street, there were already a lot of merchants and a lot of new things gathered on both sides of the street. Xiao Xiao used to be unavailable, but now he has a lot of time, and he is dazzled for a while, and he just wants to look at the past one by one and collect some interesting and novel things.
She swept away the weakness and haze of winter, and became bright again, and even her eyes seemed to have the soft light of spring.
The little bun was in a trance, and seemed to see the green ripples of the past. His heart ached, and the past came back like a bubble. He thought of the scene where Qin Wuxiang and Xiao Xiao had a very happy conversation a few days ago, and he felt even more breathed in his chest.
"Huh?" Xiao Xiao noticed that Xiao Baozi's face was a little abnormal, and asked.
Xiao Baozi came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay." ”
"This girl, this is the peach wood brand that has been opened in Daoqing Temple, and on the Shangyuan Festival, engrave the name of your sweetheart on this brand, and hang it on the hundred-year-old pear wood of Daoqing Temple, so that you can stay with her appearance."
Xiao Xiao was attracted by a deep voice, and saw that it was an old Taoist priest dressed in tatters, and he pestered a girl who came over and asked her to buy a peach wood brand.
The girl was naturally disdainful, and quickly shook off like a plague god.
"It's funny."
Xiao Xiao said with a smile.
Xiao Baozi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's just fooling people." ”
Seeing this, the stall owner in front of them said, "Not all. ”
Xiao Xiao paused for a moment and looked at the stall owner, looking very interested.
The stall owner was idle, so he said: "Look at you have just entered the city, here is the Shangyuan Festival, and the girls who have a sweetheart are all rushing to Daoqing Temple to ask for a peach wood brand, praying for a happy marriage." I think the girl and the son have a deep relationship, so you might as well go and get a piece. ”
Xiao Xiao coughed dryly, very embarrassed, "I'll ...... with him It's not ......"
"Thank you for informing me." Xiao Baozi suddenly interrupted Xiao Xiao's words, pulled Xiao Xiao and left, leaving the stall owner confused.
"I've been in the Imperial City for so long, I didn't know there was such an interesting thing." Xiao Xiao smiled and let the little bun drag him forward.
Xiao Baozi glanced back at her and said, "Do you want to go?" ”
"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain. Even if there is no such marriage brand, it is worth coming out to see those exquisite lanterns. Xiao Xiao said.
Xiao Baozi nodded, "In a few days, I'll bring you." ”
"......" Xiao Xiao suddenly didn't speak, and looked in one direction in a daze.
Xiao Baozi looked in her direction, but it was just a very ordinary teahouse, and there seemed to be someone on the second floor who was reading books, and there were many guests around.
"Want to hear it?" Xiao Baozi asked.
Xiao Xiao shook his head and said to Xiao Baozi: "I have something to do, you can go first." ”
The corners of Xiao Baozi's mouth moved slightly, he subconsciously clenched Xiao Xiao's hand, and after a while, it was released very abruptly.
"Hmm."
He didn't ask, Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment and then explained, "Go see a friend." ”
“…… I know. Little Bun smiled at her.
Xiao Xiao went up to the second floor of the restaurant after separating from Xiao Baozi, she found a place in the back and sat down, and ordered a pot of fragrant tea and a few small pastries.
The storyteller spoke so eloquently that most of the guests were so immersed in the story that they barely noticed that there was one more.
Only a man near Xiao Xiao noticed her, he glanced at her more, his eyes suddenly tightened, and then there was inexplicable confusion and confusion.
Xiao Xiao pretended to be unaware of his gaze, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand and listening to it neatly.
The man in white withdrew his gaze after a while, and fell into his own rambling thoughts again. He wasn't listening to a book, he was thinking about something irrelevant, so his eyes were empty.
When the storyteller reached the climax, a slender and lively-looking girl in red came over and whispered a few words to the man in white, who seemed to be a little tired and waved his hand at the girl in red.
The girl in red was helpless, she said a few more words and hurried away, and the man in white grabbed his hair in distraught, and was ready to get up and leave without waiting for the storyteller to finish. He looked at Xiao Xiao again, as if he wanted to come up and say something to her, but in the end he held back and went downstairs.
Xiao Xiao showed a smile, which was very strange. She put the melon seeds in her hand back into the plate, only to find that her palms were so tense that she was sweating.
Xiao Er served fragrant tea at this time. Xiao Xiao poured himself a glass, and the taste was really bland. She paid and went downstairs.
She went out of the door, and the noise outside suddenly broke into her ears, and her heart suddenly relaxed.
Xiao Xiao walked forward, and walked for a while before finding Xiao Baozi at a noodle soup shop. Little Bun smiled at her and waved her over.
There are two bowls of fragrant noodles on the table, and the ingredients on them are very well placed and carefully done. Even the ordinary pork belly is cooked first, then sliced and slightly fried until golden brown, and the ends begin to roll upwards before being put on the noodles and drizzled with sesame oil.
Xiao Xiao's index finger moved, she sat down, took the chopsticks handed over by Xiao Baozi, and couldn't wait to suck a big mouthful of noodles. The surface of the noodle soup is very clear, but the flavor is rich in the mouth, and the smooth noodles have a good texture.
"It's delicious." She sighed.
