Chapter 64: Travel
"Hey, Gong Lingxiao, what's wrong with you?"
"You're still there!" Gong Lingxiao opened his eyes and saw that it was her, and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Don't you need to go back and draw a little rouge on your eyebrows or something?" β
"Go!" Su Yingtong gave him a punch, "Young Master Ben is naturally beautiful, but it's you, hey, is this acne?" Su Yingtong cried out in surprise, thinking that the excellent bloodline of the royal family was not even visible to the pores, and he actually found acne on Gong Lingxiao's face!
Su Yingtong was like chicken blood, and went closer to study Gong Lingxiao's face, "Tsk, such a handsome face actually has acne!" It's heartbreaking! "A look of sincere concern.
Gong Lingxiao was so moved, he burst into tears: "I used to only know that the imperial sister-in-law recognized money and not people, it turned out that Ling Xiao was wrong, and the imperial sister-in-law was really good!" β
Su Yingtong nodded approvingly, "I recently developed a pure natural skin care and beauty product, which definitely has the effect of removing acne and exfoliation!" I believe that the six princes will be more charming when they use it! For the sake of your imperial uncle, it's cheaper, no 999, no 109, only 99 taels of silver! Isn't it cost-effective and exciting?! β
Gong Lingxiao's face was paralyzed instantly.
Sure enough, it was Su Yingtong he knew! What a self-inflicted sentiment just now!
Gong Lingxiao sadly wiped his old face and tried to regain some reason, "Imperial sister-in-law, didn't the imperial brother of Xiangyuan give you a family?" β
"What do you mean?"
"Or is there something unspeakable? It doesn't matter, husband and wife, they just want to support each other, be bold, even if you have any requirements, even if you mention it to the royal brother, as long as it is not excessive, the royal brother will be satisfied, don't fall into the seller's place, ah? Gong Lingxiao said earnestly.
made Su Yingtong stunned.
"That is, if there are any requirements to be made to me, what is there that this king cannot satisfy?" A deep male voice came from behind.
Su Yingtong's eyes widened, and she turned her head uneasily, and sure enough, she saw Gong Jingyu standing behind her with a dark face, and Gong Yilin was also standing next to her, his face was unfathomable.
Su Yingtong's cheekiness also turned a little red, and she stiffly pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "I'm joking with Uncle Huang, is it funny?" Hehe......"
Su Yingtong looked at the headache of the palace mirror domain, knowing that he had lost his face in front of the emperor, and suddenly a sense of crisis exploded, would he not reimburse her for today's expenses because of this?
Until the group of them walked on the street, Gong Jingyu didn't say a word to her, which made Su Yingtong very distressed, and lowered his head and kicked the pebbles on the street, so that Xiao Zhao could see it.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"I want to buy something, but I don't have the money." Su Yingtong is very direct.
As soon as the little guy heard this, he ran up to the front with his little legs and tugged at the sleeve of the palace mirror domain, and said to him, "Daddy, Young Master Su said that he has no money to buy things." β
As soon as these words came out, the three men in front of her looked back at her, making Su Yingtong eager to jump into the river.
This little brat, should she thank him or give him a fat beating?
Su Yingtong tried his best to pretend to be fine, turned his head and stood in front of a small stall selling handicrafts and picked up something, the stall owner saw that there were customers patronizing, and he was still a well-dressed son, and he suddenly seemed to see his father, and smiled very kindly, "Childe can look at it casually, these things are made by himself, and the price is negotiable." β
Su Yingtong nodded uncomfortably, after all, she didn't have a penny on her, Qingzhu had never tried to listen to her like this, and she didn't even bring broken silver, alas......
"Childe has a crush on something, just pick it," At this time, Qingzhu approached Su Yingtong's side, took her hand like a stimulant, and sneakily pulled open a slit in the backpack, so that Su Yingtong could see the contents clearly.
Su Yingtong glanced at it with no interest, and immediately her eyes widened, and she covered her backpack, for fear that the contents would see the light, "Didn't you say you didn't bring any money?" "It's a stack of silver tickets!
"I didn't bring it," Qingzhu blinked and said happily, "The prince asked the guards to give it to me just now, saying that it was for the princess to buy things." β
Su Yingtong was very surprised, she looked at Gong Jingyu, but only saw his back in the distance, he walked beside Gong Yilin, talked to Gong Yilin from time to time, and inadvertently looked back.
Su Yingtong felt nervous for no reason, and she didn't know if he was looking at her, but she was flustered, and she hurriedly turned around and focused on the stall.
Picked a few things casually and let Qingzhu pay the bill and take it, just wanted to follow the front, but saw many people flocking to the street next to him, Su Yingtong looked at it curiously on tiptoe, except for the crowded crowd, he couldn't see anything.
"There is a competition being held over there, this is the characteristic of our Langxia Town, every year before and after the Chongyang Festival, there will be a civil and military competition, Gongzi happened to meet, you might as well go and take a look." The stall owner had already learned that Su Yingtong was from Kyoto during the sale, and he spoke with a little more respect.
"Civil-martial arts competition? What is it for? β
"It is held by our famous jade dealers, and the winners of the competition will win a lot of valuable jade, so as to promote the jade culture of our Langxia Town, and the prizes they give every year are not ordinary!"
"It's so fun, why don't you go and see it, big brother?" Qingzhu is interested, she, like all the mansion maids, grew up in the Shenmen mansion, how have she ever seen such a lively street scene?
"It's not easy! There are a lot of talented people who come to participate in the competition every year, and we here are martial artists who don't dare to challenge lightly, let alone a rough person like me who is not familiar with civil and military affairs, it is better to guard the stall and sell more things. The stall owner grinned.
"Let's take a look." Su Yingtong thanked the stall owner's eldest brother, pulled Qingzhu and squeezed towards the crowd, but before he could take a step, he was blocked by someone.
Su Yingtong looked at the two cold-faced men who appeared in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and asked.
"The second young man ordered that the safety of the son must be protected, please understand." They saluted, and one of them explained the reason, and then made a "please" gesture in the direction where the palace mirror domain left, signaling Su Yingtong to follow their master's route.
Su Yingtong shook his head, "I have no objection to you following me, but you are not qualified to interfere with my direction." β
The two of them looked at each other in embarrassment, and finally made a compromise and no longer stood in the way, but one of them still followed her, and the other had left, seeing that he had reported to the palace mirror domain.
Su Yingtong didn't care to follow his own path, pulling Qingzhu to charge in the crowd, seeing the stitches, flexible as a fish in the water, it was difficult for the fierce guards behind him, and he was terrified, for fear that he would lose his head and go back to his life.
Su Yingtong finally squeezed to the ring, and only then did he gain a firm foothold, and he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Although she had seen big scenes such as royal banquets, the lavish scenes that followed the rules and procedures were more attractive to her than the local special competitions in front of her.
The ring is decorated with a particularly atmospheric atmosphere, every place is full of wind and rain and rivers and lakes, the domestic servants of the responsible party are in full swing to prepare for the upcoming competition, and the contestants and spectators from all over the world gather in the ring, and the crowd is full of voices and excitement.
At this time, a row of jade placed in the safe area attracted Su Yingtong's attention, there were small pendants, and large auspicious ornaments, Su Yingtong was dazzled, and was attracted by those finely crafted jade, she now fully felt the fame of Langxia Town's "Jade Township", which is indeed worthy of the name!
"The game is about to start, please be quiet," at this time, a middle-aged man came to the stage to maintain order, he pressed his hands around a few times, and waited for the crowd to calm down before he continued, "Thank you very much for your support, and now I would like to invite the sponsor of the competition, Mr. Na, to give a speech for the game!" β
The crowd, who had been waiting for a long time, cheered, and the lively scene was indeed infectious.
Su Yingtong was also impatient, she was too lazy to listen to what the old man said, she was only focused on the jade pendant she was looking for, she desperately stood on tiptoe in the crowd of pushers, and searched carefully among all kinds of jade, hoping to find something.
"Childe, be careful." There were more and more people around, all of them wanted to squeeze forward, Qingzhu couldn't even stand, she wanted to grab Su Yingtong, but she was still rushed away by the crowd, her shouts were drowned out by the boiling voices, and Su Yingtong didn't notice it at all.
No matter what era, Chinese like to make a scene, there are more people will inevitably collide and stampede, Su Yingtong can't help but stumble in the crowd, from time to time is stepped on a few feet, surrounded by noise, all kinds of scolding, listening to people is extremely irritating.
At this time, a big man in front of him fell under his feet, and his center of gravity was unstable and turned upside down to Su Yingtong, Su Yingtong took a breath of cold air, and his eyes were about to pop out, God! Being trampled on by him, I will die!
Although he has been stepped on many times, Su Yingtong has not been numb to the pain of Cheng DΓΉ, if he is really stepped on by a big man this time, he will not be crippled?!
But there are people on the left and right, and there is no way to avoid it, Su Yingtong is thinking about whether to push this big guy and push him to the front, it's better than stepping on himself, isn't it?
In this entanglement, someone behind him suddenly reached out to hold Su Yingtong's waist, and with a force, he brought her into his arms, and at the same time kicked out with long legs, and the deerskin boots were pressed against the back of the big man.
Su Yingtong had a false alarm.
The people around him also fell silent, staring at the source of the screams in a daze, motionless.
After the big man was frightened, he felt that he had lost face, especially at this time, there were still people who were not afraid of death and stepped on their backs, which was simply a great shame!
"Which ...... is not afraid of death" turned back menacingly, and just shouted half a sentence, and when he saw the person behind him, he couldn't say anything anymore.
Su Yingtong was also equally surprised, "Why are you here?" β
