Chapter 12 I don't know your heart
Xishi Street is full of traffic and many people.
Li Maoran chased after him, but he didn't dare to get too close to the beginning of the month. I don't know why she was suddenly in a bad mood.
At the beginning of the month, he just walked by himself, vaguely feeling that Li Maoran was following behind, but he didn't want to pay attention to him. Just one walked briskly in front and the other followed behind, and walked down a street.
Just as he was about to turn the corner, the beginning of the month suddenly stopped.
Li Maoran was also so frightened that she stopped, afraid that she would be even more angry when she turned around and saw herself, so she hurriedly walked towards the nearest stall, picked up a folding fan and asked, "How can this be sold?" After saying this, Yu Guang still glanced at the moon, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't see herself.
Looking at the owner of the fan stall again, it was an old man who was about sixty years old. When the owner of the fan stall saw that the person asking the price was Li Maoran, he was so frightened that he was a little trembling when he spoke, "Big ...... The eldest prince...... Do you like...... Only...... Take it...... Beg...... Please don't smash my stall......"
Li Maoran suddenly felt a little bored, "I just asked you how much the folding fan cost, and I didn't want to smash your stall...... What are you afraid of......"
The old man was probably still afraid of Li Maoran's reputation, and he still couldn't speak, "Li ...... Li Gongzi begs you not to smash ...... My little business ......"
At this time, Li Maoran was a little impatient, and shouted: "Old man, are you annoying!" Having said it, I didn't want to smash it! Just ask you how much the folding fan costs! “
"Alas, Qiwen, ah! No...... Don't want money...... Childe, you take it, ......" Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Li Maoran threw out a piece of broken silver and said, "Take it!" Don't talk! You borrow this place for me to stand for a while......" I accidentally shouted a little loudly just now, and I was afraid that I would hear it at the beginning of the month, so I quickly lowered my voice.
The old man received the money, and he couldn't believe his eyes. Did you go out today and meet Fuxian? That county lieutenant's Li Gongzi actually spent money to buy his things?!
On the other hand, Li Maoran was still secretly watching the beginning of the month. She stopped in front of a bookstall and picked up a book to read. "Why do you love reading so much?" He muttered quietly.
It is said to be a book, but in fact it is just a thin booklet, and I finished it at the beginning of a few pages. So she put the book down again and continued on her way. But it's not as impatient as it was just now.
Li Maoran saw it, and then followed again. When he passed by the bookshelf, he stopped and said to the vendor, "What book did the woman take just now?" “
The peddler was also a little frightened when he saw that it was Li Maoran, and hurriedly handed over the booklet he had just read at the beginning of the month. Li Maoran took a look at the "Tao Sutra"? What does she look at this for? He frowned, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the moon was almost gone, and hurriedly threw out another ingot of broken silver and said, "I bought it, take it!" As he spoke, he hurried to catch up.
The peddler looked at the silver in his hand, and felt a little incredible, this ...... Could it be that the Scattered Wealth Immortal turned into the appearance of the Li family's son, throwing money everywhere?
So on the second day, the entire Xishi Street was spreading, and last night, there was a scattered wealth fairy who turned into the appearance of the son of the Li family and threw money everywhere! But this is an afterthought, and now Li Maoran is still cautiously following behind the beginning of the month.
Since I just finished reading the "Tao Sutra" at the bookstall, the beginning of the month seems to have lost the initial anxious appearance, and it is also quite comfortable to look east and west. For a while, I touched the lanterns of the Ming Shop, and for a while, I patted the brocade of the cloth workshop. In the end, I also bought a colorful tassel at a grocery stall and a hairpin from a hairpin shop.
Li Maoran didn't know why, at the beginning of the month, he bought something from a shop, so he also bought a copy. After a while, he took five things in his hand, in addition to a book, a fan, a spike, and a hairpin, there was also a handful of white jade hairpins. He saw the hairpin at the beginning of the month and picked it up to take a look, but he didn't buy it. He felt that he was quite worthy of her, so he bought it with the hairpin.
After a while, I saw that the beginning of the month stopped in front of a small snack shop and bought a peace cake. This time, Li Maoran really didn't come forward to buy a copy. It was a child's food, and she must have bought it for one of her own children. He thought, seeing that the moon was gone again, so he continued to follow.
All the way to Quezhi Bridge, there were fewer people, and at the beginning of the month, I found that Li Maoran was still following behind, sighed and suddenly turned around, "Li Maoran, you have followed all the way, aren't you tired?" “
Li Maoran stood at the head of the bridge, and when he saw that there was nowhere to hide, he could only say, "I...... I'm just going to the market and buying something......"
The moon glanced at him and didn't speak.
"You were in a hurry to run out just now, and I was worried that something was wrong with you, so" Li Maoran lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
"I'm sorry," Yue Yue said lightly.
Li Maoran was stunned and looked up at her.
Turning his face sideways, looking at the slightly shimmering river, Yue Yue apologized and said: "When I was in the theater, it was true that I had some problems with my attitude...... People have their own thoughts and opinions, and I really shouldn't be angry with you for no reason......"
"I didn't"
"In the past few days, I have been very upset."
At the beginning of the month, he walked to the stone steps under the bridge and sat down, looking up at the moonlight and the river water cold. There was silence all around, and occasionally the wind rose, blowing off the apricot blossoms, all the way to the surface of the water and flowing down the water.
Li Maoran saw that she was not angry, and was a little relieved, so he also walked over and sat down next to her. Although I sat down, I was a little nervous.
"My father's academy is now defeated in my hands," the beginning of the month suddenly said.
Li Maoran was slightly stunned, a little confused, was she bored with this?
"When my father left, I was still young, and I couldn't take care of many things by myself, so my uncle had to sell them to the academy and open a bookstore." Most of the Xu family's property was also taken up and changed to the Lu family. is helpless, whether it is Xu Shu or Song Yuan, she can't help but think of her current situation.
"You always have to get married, even if the academy is changed into a bookstore, it's the same." Li Maoran said.
At the beginning of the month, his whole body stiffened, and his eyes were gloomy, "You said yes." ”
Now that even her family affairs are empty, she naturally doesn't expect anything. With a sigh of relief, she didn't think about it anymore, took out the peace cake she had just bought from her arms, and held it in front of him, "Oh, do you want to eat it?" “
"Isn't this for your kids?" Li Maoran was stunned.
At the beginning of the month, I was a little puzzled, but after I understood, I laughed, "We don't have children in our family, so I bought it for myself." She explained.
Li Maoran glanced at her: "Xu Yueyue, how old are you?" Still eating snacks for children? “
At the beginning of the month, I didn't care, "If you don't eat, forget it." As he spoke, he pinched a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, and the sweetness instantly melted into his mouth. When his mother was not around when he was a child, Xu Yu bought these snacks to coax the beginning of the month. For the beginning of the month, although it is something that the child eats, it is indeed one of the few things that can make her miss her father.
After eating a few slices in a row, in a blink of an eye, the peace cake was almost gone.
Yue Yue looked at the only piece of peace cake left in his hand, and asked again: "Li Maoran, you really don't eat it?" “
Li Maoran snorted, and just when he thought he really didn't eat at the beginning of the month and was about to eat it himself, he reached out and grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth. "Li Maoran, you are naïve! No one is robbing you! The beginning of the month laughed and scolded.
Li Maoran still snorted and didn't speak.
After eating the peace cake, at the beginning of the month, he took out another jade pendant and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I brought it with me today." As he spoke, he took out the colorful tassels he had just bought and hung them on the jade pendant.
"This is ......" Li Maoran looked at the jade pendant in his hand at the beginning of the month, the texture was not good, and there was a trace of crack on it. I don't know where it came from, she actually carried this jade pendant with her.
"This is the ...... my father left me," said at the beginning of the month, Li Maoran nodded after hearing it.
"It's a pity" Yue Yue sighed lightly, "Do you know that there is a person named Xu Shu, he is"
"Yes. It's Xu Shu, the secretary of the court's ministry~" Before she finished speaking, Li Maoran said proudly. "What's wrong with him?"
At the beginning of the month, he was shocked when he heard this, "Li Maoran, what did you just say? ”
"Xu Shu, when the Ministry of Officials is still the book" Li Maoran thought for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "It's the Ministry of Officials, it was just promoted at the beginning of this year, I remember it right" The night was dark, and he noticed the strangeness at the beginning of the month.
"Does he have a son, named Xu Shiheng?"
Li Maoran nodded, "Jiajing is a master of the main hall for ten years." I didn't expect your daughter's family to also care about the affairs of the court. Why did you suddenly talk about him? ”
Suddenly, the wind stopped and the moon was quiet, only the sound of water was howling. At the beginning of the month, I froze for a long time, and I didn't know how to react.
"Xu Yue?" Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Li Maoran felt weird.
In the middle of the sound, the beginning of the month slowly spoke: "Li Maoran, he is my father's old friend and Qiu Fuzi's protégé." His voice was so deep that he couldn't hear joy or anger.
Li Maoran pursed his lips, "I don't know about this."
At the beginning of the month, he glanced sideways at him, remembering that he didn't know what had happened back then. I thought that there would be no progress in the matter, but I didn't expect to learn such news today.
"Li Maoran, how did you know about him?" The relieved Moon asked.
Li Maoran smiled, "I'm also born in an official family, and the officials are in charge of the annual official promotion and evaluation, if you don't even know this, then it's better than a three-year-old child on the street." ”
At the beginning of the month, she secretly forgot that Li Maoran's father was the county lieutenant of Qingyuan County, and if she didn't even know who her boss was, she would indeed be unable to protect this official.
"Then do you know how Xu Shiheng is?"
"Isn't his dad an old friend of your father? Why did you ask me instead? Li Maoran frowned, a little displeased.
At the beginning of the month, she was suffocated, and suddenly she couldn't cry or laugh, Li Maoran said it well, this person is her fiancé. She needed to know from others what kind of person her fiancé was. Well, if you don't know, you don't know. Now that we know where he is, we can see for ourselves when we go and see for ourselves.
In September, you can see the imperial examination.
"It's time for me to go back." Got up at the beginning of the month and stated.
Li Maoran also hurriedly got up, "Are you angry?" ”
Yue Yue smiled: "In your eyes, I love to be angry so much?" ”
Li Maoran was speechless.
"Okay, I'm not angry, it's just that it's getting late, and I should go back." She explained with a smile.
But seeing Li Maoran staring at her, he opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, "Xu Yueyue"
"Huh?"
"I" face was slightly gloomy, the hand holding the object tightened unconsciously, "I" faintly felt the impatience on the face of the beginning of the month, and suddenly felt a trace of panic in my heart, "This, send you." He lowered his head and handed over the white jade hairpin in his hand.
At the beginning of the month, I was confused, and when I looked at it, "this" looked slightly shocked, she had just seen it in the hairpin shop, and she felt that it was a little delicate so she picked it up and looked at it twice, but she didn't expect him to buy it.
Suddenly realizing something, the moon shook his head suddenly and said, "I can't take it." Li Maoran, I should go back. After saying that, she pulled out her legs and ran, as if she was afraid that she would be stopped by him.
Li Maoran watched her leave, and did not catch up, but just looked down at the jade hairpin in his hand, with a depressed expression.
