Chapter 326: Shelter from the Rain
"Official, you are so fierce!" Su Xian held her cheek with one hand and said with a sad look in her eyes.
Liang Chang's eyes widened, and before he could speak, an old woman selling mandarin duck cakes walked up to the two of them and said with a smile:
"Son and Mrs. buy a pair of mandarin duck crisp to eat, today is the temple fair of the Temple of Our Lady, the little couple eat a pair of mandarin duck crisp is also like the winged mandarin duck bird, out of the pair, and the beauty of harmony!"
This woman is a woman who often comes out to do business to make a living, all with a clever mouth, although the words that come out are a little nondescript, but auspicious and festive, if it is really a couple, the heart is happy, maybe he will buy it, but Liang Chang doesn't do it, he is angry, this time I saw a woman who had no eyesight to see a child come over, with a face he hated the most three aunts and six women to pinch him and Su Xian together, angry, black face and angry said:
"Who is husband and wife with her!"
The old woman was taken aback, and looked at the two with a surprised expression, a man and a woman traveled alone, of the same age, Su Xian had always combed the woman's hair in a bun because she had been married, and it was easy for people to be regarded as husband and wife when they sat together intimately.
Su Xian didn't care about Liang Chang's black face, and smiled: "Don't mind, auntie, the child's father is having trouble with me!" As he spoke, he took out a few copper plates and stuffed them into the woman's hand, and picked out two mandarin duck cakes with a smile.
Liang Chang's face was already black and shiny.
The old woman showed a look of sudden realization, accepted the money with a smile, and kindly instructed before leaving:
"Young couples often quarrel and knock their teeth, so don't worry too much about your daughter-in-law and son-in-law. Men should be generous. ”
Liang Chang's face was black, and he couldn't see his original color at all.
Su Xian took a completely ignoring attitude towards his expression, and took a bite of the mandarin duck cake with a smile. The skin is thin and crispy, the filling is sweet and fragrant, and it is indeed delicious.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Liang Chang gritted his teeth more and more, glared at her with a dark face and said:
"This king is rising fast, yesterday's official, today is good. This will become a child's father! What about children? ”
"Huh? Does the official want the slave family to give the official a life, so that it won't become a destruction of the royal bloodline or something? Su Xian bit the mandarin duck crisp and said with a smile.
"You're self-aware!" Liang Chang gritted his teeth. Word by word.
"The biggest advantage of the slave family is that they are self-aware, and in layman's terms, it is called 'knowledge'." Su Xian said with a smile.
"I don't see any interest in you!" Liang Chang snorted from his nose.
Su Xian just smiled and handed over another mandarin duck crisp. Put it in front of his eyes:
"Official. Eat a mandarin duck crisp, the slave family wants to go out with you and make a pair of harmony and beauty! ”
"This king doesn't want to!" Liang Chang said angrily.
"Officials really don't eat? It's rare for the slave family to pay the bill, official, you lost so much money on the slave family, don't you want to take the opportunity to get a little back? Since the officials are generous and generous, the slave family will eat it themselves unceremoniously! ”
The words "take the opportunity to get a little back" obviously touched Liang Chang's nerves, and he suddenly felt that he should not give up this opportunity to let her continue to be triumphant, so he snatched the mandarin duck crisp she held in her hand and ate it in a big gulp. When I eat it, I feel quite delicious.
Su Xian felt quite like watching the cow chew the peony, and looked at him with pity. Secluded tunnels:
"Official, why did you eat it like this, and you don't want to see how lifelike this mandarin duck cake is!"
"Is this lifelike? The mandarin duck crisp in the palace is completely a pair of mandarin ducks, this ...... At best, it's a wild duck. ”
Su Xian pursed her lips, her voice became lazy and cold, she bit the mandarin duck crisp in her hand, and said lightly in a long voice:
"The slave family has never eaten the mandarin duck crisp in the palace."
Liang Chang didn't understand the meaning of her words, but he just felt that she was probably very sorry, so he promised without thinking about it: "If you want to eat, I will give you the mandarin duck crisp in the palace to taste when I have the opportunity." ”
Su Xian was slightly stunned, raised her willow eyebrows in surprise, smiled, but did not speak.
Liang Chang suddenly remembered something at this time, and asked: "By the way, your sister's cooking skills are so strong, your skills should not be bad, right?" ”
Su Xian didn't expect him to ask this, smiled and said lightly:
"Su Miao's craftsmanship was passed down by my father, and I don't have her good luck and talent."
Liang Chang was stunned for a moment, feeling that her tone was not quite right, but he didn't think much about it, he admired Su Miao's craftsmanship very much, so he became interested, and even felt curious about Su Xian's words:
"It turns out that your sister-in-law was passed down by your father, no, aren't you the eldest daughter of the Su family, like this kind of handicraft, if you want to pass it on, you have to pass it on."
"The life of the slave family is not good, when he was born, he was just in time for the poorest time in the family, and he was sold by his parents to the landlord's family as a child bride at the age of three." When Su Xian said this, she had neither resentment nor self-pity, she was very calm and calm.
"Child bride?" Liang Chang was stunned.
"Officials don't know what a child bride is?" Su Xian asked with a smile.
Liang Chang is not unaware of child daughter-in-law, but Yue Liangguo has recovered in recent years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, few people sell their children and daughters anymore, the term child daughter-in-law has become a thing of the past, Liang Chang has only heard of it before, and felt that this marriage model is a little cruel for girls, but he didn't expect that the strange and cruel term child daughter-in-law actually turned into a physical entity and sat next to him. Child daughter-in-law and slave girls are not the same, girls sold into slavery need to be able so the age is relatively older, the biggest function of child daughter-in-law is to be a daughter-in-law, the younger the age when buying, the cheaper the selling price, buy home as long as you give food to teach women's morality, and wait a little longer to help the mother-in-law's family work for the in-law's family to inherit the lineage, but in the process of being taught and the process of teaching slaves is as cruel, during this period, how much fear and pain the young mind will suffer can be imagined.
There was a trace of pity in his eyes, but he felt that showing such pity would cause more harm to the other party's heart, so he smiled and stopped talking.
The two fell silent.
This silence made Liang Chang feel awkward, and he always felt that such a stiff atmosphere was caused by asking questions that he shouldn't have asked. After a pause, he smiled as if he wanted to change the subject:
"And you know how to cook?"
Su Xian smiled and stretched out a pair of hands as white as jade. Put it in front of your eyes to show it, with a slight hint of self-satisfaction, hooked the corners of your lips and said:
"The slave family has not touched the spring water for many years in order to maintain these hands, and the slave family will never go to the kitchen again in this life, and will not be for the unworthy person again."
For some reason, Liang Chang was a little stingy when he heard her say "unworthy person", and his mood suddenly became unpleasant.
That's when it happened. A muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, attracting the attention of many people, and the lively temple fair suddenly became silent. Everyone stopped talking and laughing, and all craned their necks to look at the sky, which had suddenly become cloudy, and then heard a loud downpour of rain from the sky. The rain was like an arrow. The vast expanse is like smoke, and the pouring rain falls like sifting beans, shattering the harmonious and lively atmosphere in the world, and startling the crowded tourists to scatter.
Liang Chang and Su Xian sat on the bench eating mandarin duck cakes, and were drenched by the heavy rain that suddenly fell from the sky, Liang Chang was stunned, but Su Xian's reaction was faster than him, and he grabbed his arm and ran forward. Halfway through the run, Liang Chang found that her running was aimless. So he grabbed her by the arm, pulled her and ran to the pavilion behind the temple of Our Lady.
Su Xian was pulled by him, stumbled, and trotted all the way to the gazebo, and when she arrived at the gazebo, the clothes on her body were already soaked, and the summer clothes themselves were thin, wet by the rain, and they were tightly attached to her body, bringing out the graceful curves flawlessly. Su Xian didn't notice that she was wiping the rain on her hair with a handkerchief, Liang Chang's eyes swept over her inadvertently but keenly noticed it, as if it was the first time in her life that she was able to keenly capture the curves of women inadvertently exposed at the first time, only to feel that her heart was jumping, and her ears began to heat up, so she shifted her gaze awkwardly, and coughed lightly twice in embarrassment.
"Official, look at you, your head is full of water, and the slave family will help you wipe it." Su Xian cleaned herself up, and when she looked over, she saw that he only turned his head, came over with a smile, and took a handkerchief to wipe the rain on his face for him.
Because she suddenly spoke, Liang Chang was startled, and subconsciously turned his head, his eyes were actually facing the infinitely good spring "peaks" under her pink Luo shirt, the tip of his nose was slightly hot, his heart was beating faster than just now, he hurriedly turned his head away, subconsciously took half a step back, and stayed away from her.
"Official?" This time, Su Xian really didn't notice it, and looked at him puzzled, her face full of inexplicability.
Liang Chang turned his head away from looking at her, silently took off his coat and handed it over.
Although Su Xian was stunned in her heart, she took it easily, and only when she subconsciously looked at herself in her hand did she understand. I wanted to laugh a little in my heart, she didn't mind this very much, but he didn't mind it very much. This man was really strange, but it made her feel happy, not because of this action, but because she was very happy to look at him, whether he was angry or happy, silent and boastful, or sneering at her, or even just a small response from him, whether it was good or bad, as long as it caught her eyes, she would find it very interesting, and ...... Joy.
I don't know when it can be said that even if he is not her greatest source of happiness, he is one of her greatest sources of happiness.
Su Xian smiled and draped Liang Chang's robe on her body, and was about to speak, at this moment, a crackling footsteps sounded, and two people suddenly appeared in the backyard of the Temple of Our Lady that had been silent for a moment.
Su Xian was stunned for a moment at first, but when she saw who the person who rushed in was, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely.
"I hate it, why is it raining so hard all of a sudden, and my newly bought clothes are soaked!" Su Miao stood in front of the gazebo, shaking the water droplets on her clothes, flattening her mouth, and complaining unhappily.
Aftertaste pulled the handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the raindrops that fell on her forehead.
Su Miao raised a small face for him to wipe, a pair of big eyes flickered, grinning, at this moment, suddenly noticed that there were two eyes in the pavilion looking at him with disdain, looked over suspiciously, and faced the two people standing side by side, a pair of big eyes flickered brighter, and then asked with a smile:
"Why are you together?"
Aftertaste's face didn't change in the slightest, obviously he knew that there were other people in the pavilion, but he just didn't want to pay attention to it.
"Why are you two here?" Su Xian asked in surprise.
"Xiao Weiwei said that there is a temple fair in the Temple of Our Lady today, and we came to visit the temple fair after dinner, but it's you, eldest sister, didn't you say that you came out to get a changed skirt, how could you be with His Royal Highness King Wen, and still wearing the clothes of His Royal Highness King Wen." Su Miao swept between the two of them suspiciously with a pair of big eyes, and asked with a smile.
Liang Chang was looked at by her with a smile in her inquiring eyes, and for some reason he had a feeling of weakness, his ears were slightly hot, and he turned his head away and pretended to cough.
Su Miao blinked her eyes twice before she was about to speak, and at this moment, another sound of broken footsteps came, and the two of them rushed into the pavilion through the rain curtain one after the other, shaking the water beads on their bodies vigorously.
Su Miao and Su Xian looked over at the same time, twitched the corners of their eyebrows fiercely at the same time, and asked in unison:
"Why are you two here?"
The people who broke in later found that there were still a bunch of people gathered in the pavilion, and they were surprised, and when they saw that this group of people was still their acquaintances, Chun Niang's face turned red, and she hurriedly waved her hands and stumbled to argue:
"I met him on the road! It's really an encounter! He went to peek at Lu Hui again, I met him on the street! ”
Chun Niang is still a young girl in the end, and when she encounters such a thing, she is afraid that she will be misunderstood and innocent, so she sells the documents while taking herself out.
The clerk's face darkened.
After Chunniang finished speaking, she was shocked to realize that she had missed her mouth, and hurriedly covered her lips, looked at the paperwork, and showed a hint of apology in her eyes.
The clerk gave her a blank look.
Su Miao and Su Xian didn't wait for Chunniang to finish speaking, they looked at the smoke and rain in the sky together, and after a while, sighed boredly:
"It's raining heavily at a good temple fair, it's really disappointing!"
"It's going to be a while, and the rain won't stop."
After speaking, Su Miao and Su Xian glanced at each other, paused, and Su Xian asked:
"Did you bring a flower card?"
Su Miao's hand pulled out of his sleeve and took out a handful of flower cards.
Su Xian clapped her hands and said loudly: "Come on, come on, Douhua card, Douhua card!" ”
"Okay, good, Douhua!" Chun Niang is a fun-loving person, as soon as she heard about the "Douhua card", she had long forgotten that she had offended the clerk just now, and shouted happily.
The clerk gave her another blank look.
"Official, let's fight for the flowers!" Su Xian took Liang Chang's arm and said with a smile.
Su Miaohe had goosebumps in his aftertaste.
"Douhua cards?" Liang Chang had never heard of this kind of card game that was only popular in Jiangnan, and he was surprised and curious.
Su Xian just laughed, pulled him to sit at the stone table in the pavilion, Su Miao sat down with the hand of the aftertaste, Chunniang was used to it, and subconsciously reached out to pull the paperwork, but the document was not angry to break away, it must still be resentful of the previous Chunniang's mouth.
This man is so stingy, Chunniang gave him a blank look and no longer paid attention to him. (To be continued.) )
