Chapter Thirty-Six: A Storm
The old woman seemed to be very heavy in her hand, and she walked slowly to rest, but she kept her head down and did not look up to pay attention to the ahead.
Chen Yuzheng thought repeatedly in his heart whether he should return to the palace as soon as possible and carefully discuss the matter of this Youzhou with Prince Jing, but he also lowered his head and did not look carefully at the front of him.
The two collided.
The old woman's body immediately fell backwards, and the bamboo basket in her hand fell to the ground, and the vegetables and fruits and vegetables in it rolled all over the ground.
"Ah, be careful!"
Chen Xinrou exclaimed, and hurriedly stretched out her hand, wanting to grab the fallen old woman, but suddenly felt that Liu Yuxuan was already speeding over, and gently reached out to hug the old woman's waist and straighten her body.
The old woman's face turned pale with fright, and after standing still, she fixed her eyes on the ground, and immediately cried out: "Oh, I said this son, why don't you have long eyes when you walk?" How good is that? Everything in my basket has been broken, should you compensate me? ”
The incident happened suddenly, Chen Yu came back to his senses at this time, and saw that the vegetables and fruits under his feet were all over the ground, although they fell to the ground, most of them were still intact, and he raised his eyes to look at the old woman in front of him, and saw that she was squinting slightly at this time, trembling and standing up to look at herself, and there were already many people around to watch the excitement.
He knew that he was at the loss, and he was anxious to solve the matter, so he smiled on his face, bent down to salute, and said in a low voice: "This mother-in-law, I did not pay attention to the front when I was walking, so I accidentally bumped into you." Say, how many taels of silver did you spend on these items, and I will compensate you for how many taels of silver I will pay you now, what do you think? ”
The old woman squinted her eyes hard, glanced at Chen Yu, and then glanced at Chen Xinrou, who was standing nervously beside him, and then quickly glanced at Liu Yuxuan, who was standing with her arms crossed and watching coldly, thought for a while, shook her head and shouted loudly: "No, no, although I don't know how many silver taels these things are, but I took great pains and was satisfied, so I bought them." Even if you give me ten taels of silver now, you will no longer be able to buy anything exactly like them, and which makes me so satisfied! These three sons, let's talk about it, how should this be compensated? ”
Chen Yu didn't expect this old woman to be so unrelenting, she was stunned for a moment, spread her hands in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Then how can I compensate you and make you satisfied?" ”
The old woman looked at the crowd of people around her, and said in a loud voice, "I see that you will not be able to satisfy me no matter what!" Such a mental loss can only be compensated by the spirit! ”
"Tell me, old woman, how can we compensate you spiritually?"
The surrounding onlookers were also curious, and shouted one after another: "Old woman, your statement is a bit strange!" ”
"yes, how can the three of them compensate you like that?"
Liu Yuxuan still had a cold face, but in the original calm and waveless eyes, there was more playfulness at this time.
Chen Xinrou is really eye-opening today, an old woman like this who is a little messy, she really encountered it for the first time, seeing that there are more and more people around her, she was anxious, so she also asked in a low voice: "Old woman, the three of us came to Youzhou for the first time, and we are not familiar with the place, so we accidentally bumped into you, which is really unintentional." What you just said makes sense, but we really don't know how to be satisfied! I hope you can be forgiving and forgiving, just let us go! ”
Her voice was gentle and moving, and her appearance was so delicate and charming, that the onlookers around her immediately had a good impression of her, and immediately someone shouted: "Yes, yes, we are the masters, they are guests, we should fulfill the friendship of the landlord!" Old woman, you might as well make a small matter and let them go! ”
Who knows, this old woman immediately became angry in her heart, looked at everyone angrily, and shouted: "Don't turn your elbows outward just because they are handsome!" Today, I used to go out happily and buy these items with happiness, but now I don't feel any joy and happiness, but I have added anger to my belly. Tell me, did I do something wrong to ask them for the loss of happiness? ”
Chen Yu stared at the old woman with annoyance, seeing that her waist was even more erect, her hands were crossed on her waist, her slightly squinted eyes were also round, and her face was full of wrinkles.
His face turned pale, and he hurriedly leaned over, approached the old woman, and begged in a low voice: "Old man, I really can't make amends to you!" I hope we can stop dwelling on this, change to a secluded place, and then discuss how to solve this matter. What do you think? ”
The old woman saw him begging softly, her face gradually calmed down, and she was about to nod her head in agreement, but she didn't expect Liu Yuxuan, who was silent on the side, to say loudly: "Wait!" ”
Chen Yu looked back in astonishment and looked at him puzzled, wondering why he wanted more right and wrong.
Liu Yuxuan walked over slowly, looked at the unhappy old woman on her face, and said loudly: "This old man, if it was according to what you just said, in fact, we would have compensated you a long time ago!" ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned and hurriedly looked at him.
Liu Yuxuan's face was calm, Tuan Tuan looked at everyone, and continued: "You just said that we made you feel no joy and happiness, and asked us for spiritual damage. Before this happened, the three of us were also full of interest, joy and happiness, but because of this incident, we were not interested, and at this time, we were so strong by you, our mood has fallen to the bottom, and happiness has flown to the clouds. Let's talk about it, how can you compensate us for this loss of the three of us, old man? ”
The onlookers saw that this talking boy was the most handsome and good-looking person among the three, and at this time they could hear him speak eloquently, a pair of cold eyes were clearly radiant, and the sense of tenderness was faintly overflowing, and they all felt very happy, where could they care about listening to whether what he said was reasonable, but shouted in unison: "She can't compensate for you!" ”
Chen Xinrou looked at Liu Yuxuan beside him in amazement, and clearly saw that the coldness in his eyes was completely gone, a smile was faintly revealed, and in a trance, he returned to the young man he saw half a year ago.
"What kind of person is he? Why is it always so changeable? Suddenly indifferent and abnormal, but suddenly gentle and warm! ”
The dark tide in her heart was surging here, but the old woman over there was already so angry that she retreated, stretched out her hand and pointed at Liu Yuxuan, who was looking at her with a smile in front of her, and scolded loudly: "You young man, you are really full of nonsense!" Don't mess around, make amends to me quickly! ”
The crowd around it immediately exploded into a pot.
"Old woman, you are the one who is messing around!"
"Old man, they can accompany you with some silver taels, why bother to do nothing?"
"Yes, yes, you disturb the market like this, what reason do you have?"
"Give her money, that's it. You don't have to talk to her anymore! ”
The old woman was besieged by everyone, her face turned pale for a while, red for a while, and turned purple for a while, but it was clear that she was already conscious of her mistakes, and some of her standing was uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Chen Yu hurriedly reached into his arms, but he felt empty, and then he realized that since he left the palace, it was He Yong and Cao Mao who had taken care of everything, and he didn't need to worry about everything at all, and he naturally didn't have a penny on his body.
At this time, his face changed back and forth, and he was very embarrassed.
Liu Yuxuan looked back at him, and knew it in his heart, so he reached into his arms, took out one or two lines of silver, stuffed them into the old woman's hand, and said in a low voice: "This old man, let's forget it like this!" ”
The old woman instinctively caught the silver tattoo, raised her eyes to look at him, but just as she met him with a pair of smiling eyes, her face was slightly paused, she hurriedly lowered her head, said no more, bent down, picked up the things that rolled off the ground one by one, pushed away the crowd of onlookers, and left slowly.
A little turmoil ended, and when everyone saw that the excitement was gone, they all dispersed, and order was restored to the market.
Chen Yu walked over with an embarrassed face, bent down to Liu Yuxuan, and thanked him in a low voice: "Thanks to Liu Gongzi's timely action, this has resolved a difficult matter." ”
The smile on Liu Yuxuan's face was gone, and he was cold and silent, shaking his head and saying, "It's just a trivial matter, why should Master Cheng keep it in mind?" It's not too early, how about we go back now? ”
Chen Yu nodded hurriedly, turned his face to see Chen Xinrou standing on the side, and said in a low voice: "Yes, the three of us have been out for so long, and it is time to go back!" ”
Chen Xinrou came back to her senses at this time, lowered her head, followed the two of them, and walked back slowly.
She kept raising her eyes all the way to look at the back of the person in front of her, and kept thinking in her heart: "I have to find another time today to explain to him the identity of my daughter, I just hope that he will not remember the incident when we met half a year ago, otherwise, the matter of the saint's private visit to Weifu will be discovered by him!" But what if he really forgot about me?
Sister Ke has a soft spot for him, and if he knows Sister Ke's heart for him, he will be very surprised, and he will be very happy. If that's the case, what should I do? Could it be that between me and him, we have to be so awkward and miserable? ”
She imagined all kinds of things, but she felt very embarrassed, and there was a burst of worry and pain in her heart, which was really contradictory.
When the three of them came, they were curious about the street scene, and they stopped from time to time, very slowly. But at this time, he was already in a hurry, and he saw that most of the market had passed, and after turning the corner and walking fifty or sixty meters, it was the "gathering immortal hug".
Chen Xinrou was worried in her heart, and she was in a trance, so she didn't realize that her feet were a little slower, and she took a few steps back.
