Chapter 62: Suspicion
In the hall downstairs, there was a guard who was eating breakfast, and when he saw her coming down, he came over to ask. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Eat, I'll go out for a walk. Just walk around the inn, no need to follow. She stopped the guards who were going out with her, and went out herself.
It's also a county seat, which is significantly poorer because it's closer to the border, with at least a third fewer shops on the streets, and pedestrians looking a little less energetic.
She was looking at something in front of a stall, thinking about whether to bring a gift back for Yingran, when suddenly a person called her name softly, with doubt.
She turned around in surprise, and after a while she remembered, this is not the guest she had seen at Baiwei Restaurant? At that time, I wanted to lend him a cloak.
She was in the store at the time, and she was also wearing men's clothes, so it was no wonder that the other party recognized her.
The moment Gongsun Yu saw her, he was slightly stunned, although he had already known from the news that he was a businessman of the Yue family, and even guessed that the woman dressed as a man might be her, but he was still a little surprised to see her.
Yue Xinran didn't know that her men's clothes had already been seen, or she didn't care if the other party knew that she was a woman, all she wanted was convenience, and it was naturally impossible to completely hide her woman's identity in men's clothes. As long as someone pays attention, it is not difficult to find this.
In fact, her disguise as a man is a bit like covering her ears and stealing the bell.
Just don't take it too seriously.
"In Xia Yue Xinran." She didn't want to hide her identity completely, and naturally she didn't have a fake name. Whether it was the Hel or someone else, she had always used her real name.
Gongsun Yu didn't reveal her woman's identity, and bowed, "Gongsun Yu, I didn't expect to meet Brother Yue here, what is Brother Yue doing here?" Coincidentally, Gongsun Yu didn't think about facing her with a fake name.
Yue Xinran smiled and said, "Follow my father out and see the world." What about Brother Gongsun? Gongsun Yu was a little rusty with her title, and Yue Xinran's title suddenly shortened the distance between the two.
The tone was very tight, and so were the guards who followed, no matter who accosted them. This in itself is problematic.
Gongsun Yu frowned unconsciously,
He looked at Yue Xinran and felt that she seemed to be a little thinner than the last time they met.
He said, "I'm just doing something." ”
Greetings, that is, that meaning, you can answer however you want, everyone has been vague, and it is naturally not good to continue on this topic. It's just that the conversation doesn't continue easily.
"Are you shopping?" Gongsun Yu looked at the rouge boxes and simple jewelry on the stall.
"Well, I'm going to buy some gifts for my sister and go back." She picked up a simple butterfly-shaped earring, the material was not expensive, but it looked lively and festive. She felt that Yingran must be very good to wear.
That girl, who often stretches her arms and legs, loses several earrings, this is not valuable, and she doesn't feel distressed if she loses it.
"I also want to choose a gift for someone, can you help me pick one?" Gongsun Yu immediately said.
Naturally, there's nothing wrong with that.
Yue Xinran nodded, and while choosing, he asked if the person he sent had any preferences.
"She's supposed to like simple things." Gongsun Yu stood at the back of her side, just in time to see Yue Xinran's neck and the short fluff on it.
He looked at it for a while, and when Yue Xinran turned his head, he shifted his gaze and looked as usual.
Yue Xinran chose a wooden hairpin, the carving is okay, the most important thing is that the style is simple, and it can be used at ordinary times, especially at home, lightweight.
"Thank you." After Gongsun Yu accepted it, he paid the bill with her share. Yue Xinran didn't stop him in the end, and seeing his calm and self-contained appearance, it was not easy to refuse too much.
I don't know why, in the face of Gongsun Yu, she has a feeling that she can't resist. His expression was indifferent, and his tone was the same as usual, but listening to his words always had a taste that could not be refused.
However, she didn't want to take advantage of others.
"In that case, then I'll invite Brother Gongsun to breakfast. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Yue Xinran asked tentatively.
She had originally planned to go out for a stroll and have an early meal, and it was time to leave when she returned.
I found a shop nearby, and the two had a simple breakfast, and the conversations during the period were all small talk, and there was no focus for half a day.
Le Yu ran out of the inn, looked around twice, and immediately ran over with relief when he saw Yue Xinran. looked a little wary of Gongsun Yu.
"Young master, why are you here, scared to death...... That's it. Le Yu patted his chest, very dissatisfied with Yue Xinran's self-assertion. After all, she was a woman, and she was in a strange place.
There is not even a person around, how can it be?
"Young master, let's go back quickly, the master said that he was going to get ready to go." Le Yu said this, obviously dislike Gongsun Yu sitting next to him.
"Don't be rude. This is Gongsun Gongzi. ”
Boss Leyu saluted reluctantly and took half a step back, "The master is really urging." ”
Yue Xin smiled, the people around her were so bold, it was obvious that she had no way to teach. She smiled embarrassedly at Gongsun Yu, "It's all me, they're spoiled." ”
Gongsun Yu nodded, looking as he should be, obviously Yue Xinran already had an appearance in his heart. In the store, he is kind and friendly to the guests, as if he is really an old friend, and he has to buy gifts for his sister for a moment, and he is indulgent to his subordinates.
No matter how you look at it, she is a kind woman.
Perhaps because he is used to seeing the intrigue of the superiors, and he has also seen too much of the selfishness of the people at the bottom who do everything to survive, Gongsun Yu feels that this quality is particularly valuable.
Gongsun Yu looked at her departing back, and his brows furrowed again.
Only then did the entourage approach him, and he lowered his voice and said, "My lord, do you want to pay more attention to this merchant Yue Qi?" ”
Gongsun Yu folded his hands behind his back and nodded silently.
Regardless of whether the rumors learned in the capital are true or not, since the emperor sent him, he will find out. Even if it's fake, be clear.
……
Returning to the house where she departed, Yue Qi talked to her for a while, and then asked her to go back to rest.
The negotiation was successful, and when it was time for the transaction, Yue Qi didn't plan to let her follow, after all, she was a woman, and it was not good to show her face all the time. What's more, the deal has already been made, and the person who arranges it properly will do.
Yue Xinran changed his carriage and went back to his residence directly.
Yue Yingran was a little surprised when she received the gift, and she was very happy with something very simple, so she put it on at that time. The maids around her have always praised her good looks, and the eldest lady has an eye for choosing things.
Yue Yingran was also happy in her heart, this was the first time her sister had given her a gift.
"Sister, is there anything new about going out this time?" Wang Yingran is most enthusiastic about asking about things outside.
Yue Xinran thought for a while, pursed her lips and smiled, "Naturally, there is something new, my sister went out this time and met a very beautiful man, and he is also very smart, he must be very popular with noble ladies." Thinking of the "halfway coincidence" Hongge, Yue Xinran deliberately ridiculed. Although they don't go out often, they also know that there is a saying about raising noodles in the capital.
