259. 256: Shopping in the capital
"Guest-" The shopkeeper saw that a guest was coming, and came out enthusiastically, and the guest officer didn't shout one after shouting, he glanced at Nangong Jue, didn't this person kick him last time?
This time I also brought a girl, the girl was very beautiful, why did she laugh stupidly, the shopkeeper asked angrily: "It's you again?" What are you going to do this time? ”
He felt that Nangong Jue was not here to eat this time.
"Eat." Nangong Jue replied simply.
"Eat? Shh The shopkeeper looked at Nangong Jue with contempt, he didn't believe that this poor and sour guy would come to eat, although their inn was not big, but the price was not cheap enough that any poor and sour guy could come to eat.
Lu Mengyao looked at the shopkeeper in puzzlement, as if the shopkeeper's attitude was a little unkind, right? Nangong Jue's personality is not gentle, don't quarrel......
"Well, eat." Nangong definitely can't see the affection, he doesn't hold a grudge like the shopkeeper, and last time he kicked the shopkeeper, and it wasn't the shopkeeper who kicked him, so there's nothing to hold a grudge against.
"Is there any money?" The shopkeeper stood at the door of the store, and after listening to Nangong Jue's answer, he still didn't mean to invite them in.
Lu Mengyao hasn't come out for ten years, it doesn't mean that she is stupid, the shopkeeper looks down on people so obviously, she is also a little angry, Nangong has never spoken, Lu Mengyao spoke first: "Is there such a business?" Will we come to dinner without money? ”
I didn't expect this girl to look stupid, she was so fierce as soon as she opened her mouth, the shopkeeper was also a little stunned, he put the towel in his hand on his shoulder, and he was also a little fierce: "That's how we do business here, we love to eat or not!" ”
Anyway, the shopkeeper went to buy the goods, and the shopkeeper was not afraid.
"Ah Jue, let's go somewhere else, the shopkeeper here is really blind, how did you find such a person to be the second child." Lu Mengyao pulled Nangong Jue's sleeve and said angrily.
Nangong Jue didn't agree, he came here to find Tang Li, this was the only place he had seen Tang Li in the capital, except here he didn't know where to start, only from here, while waiting and looking.
"Is that enough?" Nangong Jue took out a piece of silver and stretched it out in front of the shopkeeper, Lu Jiang's money from selling medicine was still quite rich, because the medicine he made was very good, almost all of them were effective on the spot, and there were rich and noble people who were willing to pay for it.
The shopkeeper originally had a look of "where is the love going", because he decided that Nangong had no money, but when the ingot of silver appeared in front of him, his eyes were a little straight, did he really see the wrong person?
"Enough, enough!" The shopkeeper reached out to receive the silver, but was snatched by Lu Mengyao.
"You prepare the meal first." Lu Mengyao pretended to be fierce and said to the shopkeeper.
Of course, the shopkeeper also recognizes money and doesn't recognize people, the inn business is good, and his salary is high, he still understands this truth, is it still against silver? He changed his arrogant face just now, and smiled very kindly: "Okay, okay, the two guest officers will take a seat first." ”
Lu Mengyao snorted coldly, and walked into the inn by herself without looking at the shopkeeper, Nangong Jue did not squint, and did not pay any attention to the shopkeeper who was smiling and his face was cramping, and walked in behind Lu Mengyao.
What is amazing is that this time Nangong Jue also chose the position where Tang Li sat last time, Lu Mengyao sat opposite him, playing with a pair of chopsticks, and from time to time he stuck his head out of the window to look outside.
"Ah Jue, where are we going to play later?" Lu Mengyao's mood was a little more upset by Xiao Er's just now, and she asked Nangong Jue.
"We're not here to play." Nangong Jue poured a cup of tea and replied after taking a sip.
Of course, Lu Mengyao knew that Nangong was never here to play, he wanted to find someone to do the experiment, Lu Mengyao felt that it was cruel, but she didn't want to interfere with this, this was what Nangong had to do, even if she didn't agree, she couldn't stop it.
"It's just walking around." Lu Mengyao whispered with some disappointment.
"Guest officer, the dish is here!" Xiao Er's shouting interrupted Lu Mengyao's faint thoughts, she was still feeling a little sullen for Nangong Jue's words, he knew that she hadn't come out for ten years, no matter how much she asked to go out for a walk, right?
The shopkeeper brought the dish up and politely put it on the table: "Guest, please use it slowly." ”
Lu Mengyao cleaned up her mood, and couldn't help but be a little greedy when she saw the good dishes in front of her, she ate so much of her own dishes on the riverbank, she was tired of eating, and occasionally Lu Jiang would bring her some outside dishes, every time she was still unsatisfied, she must have enough to eat today.
"This one looks delicious, I'll eat it first!" Lu Mengyao didn't care about talking to Nangong Jue, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the dishes, but Nangong Jue was a little hesitant, he "stole" a dish here last time, and the taste was very bad, and he didn't want to move the chopsticks now.
After Lu Mengyao took a bite, the expectation on her face was reduced by more than half, this dish looks good and smells good, why doesn't it taste good?
"How?" It is rare for Nangong to ask more.
"It doesn't seem to taste very good." Lu Mengyao put down her chopsticks coyly: "The taste is sorry for the dish." ”
Unexpectedly, Lu Mengyao just didn't eat the dish last time, Nangong Jue stretched out his chopsticks and picked up some dishes to try, but he was very calm, at least the taste was acceptable this time.
Soon the second dish also came up, Lu Mengyao had no expectations at the beginning, and sat there and waited for the food to cool for a while before continuing to eat, sure enough, it was still not good.
"Eat quickly, go out for a walk when you're done." Nangong Jue said suddenly.
"Really?" Lu Mengyao was immediately happy.
Nangong Jue smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Well, don't you want to go out for a walk?" ”
This is the second time Nangong Jue has laughed today, Lu Mengyao feels a little like being in a dream, how can Nangong Jue be so gentle today?
In fact, Nangong is not gentle today, but he still feels a little guilty about Lu Mengyao in his heart, and he can't see Lu Mengyao's feelings for him, but he really has no fluctuations in his feelings now, and he can only say that he occasionally treats Lu Mengyao as a sister.
"That's good," Lu Mengyao picked up the meal and began to eat it violently, she could go out to play quickly after eating, and she had never come to such a lively place to shop with Nangong Jue, and she was excited when she thought about it.
Nangong Jue also picked up the meal and ate some, he hadn't eaten since yesterday, Lu Mengyao said that he would bring him something to eat when he was hungry, but then he fell asleep in the cabin, and he didn't bother to wake her up.
After eating, he went to pay the bill, Nangong Jue opened two more rooms, the shopkeeper was so happy that his eyes were about to squint, and his impression of Nangong Jue rose sharply, he was so kind to Nangong Jue, but Nangong Jue continued to eat and live here regardless of his previous suspicions, and he was really broad-minded.
In fact, Nangong definitely didn't have the heart to worry about him at all, and felt very bored.
After putting some clothes or something back in their respective rooms, Nangong Jue and Lu Mengyao left the inn and went to the street, Nangong Jue also needed to find some suitable candidates, and by the way, with that very slim hope, maybe they could meet that woman.
It's the morning, the weather is not bad, the sun is shining, Lu Mengyao pulled Nangong Jue's sleeve and shuttled through the streets and alleys, wanting to touch and take a look at everything she saw, but fortunately, Nangong Jue seemed to be patient enough to accompany her to go shopping today, and there was no impatience or urging her to go back.
Today, Lu Mengyao was dazzled by the prosperity of the capital, she stayed in front of a stall for a long time, a middle-aged man held a bunch of bamboo rings, as long as he threw the bamboo rings to the ground of a thing, then the thing would belong to the person who set it, but the bamboo circle cost five cents a piece.
"I want ten." Lu Mengyao asked for ten bamboo rings, and then stood there and began to seriously try the feel, observing the distance, Nangong Jue stood next to him and watched with a faint expression.
"Are you coming?" Lu Mengyao threw several and missed, and then asked Nangong Jue on the side, with Nangong Jue's skills, this is simply trivial, and he will definitely be able to circle a lot of gadgets.
But Nangong was not that interested, he refused without thinking about it: "Don't come." ”
Lu Mengyao embarrassedly took back the bamboo ring, and then threw it a few more times, only hit a small clay sculpture, which was not good at all, and in a fit of anger, she asked for a bunch of bamboo rings, anyway, the money was enough, and the vendor happily gave her the bamboo ring, which was really easy to make.
This stall is close to a small alley, there are not many people, there is only one guest, Lu Mengyao, the others are watching the play, a few people saw Lu Mengyao has been asking for bamboo circles, and silently sighed that she is really a girl who lacks heart.
"Please...... everyone" A very small voice came from the depths of the alley, with a pleading, the others did not hear it, but Nangong Jue heard it, he glanced around, everyone else was looking at Lu Mengyao's things seriously, and no one paid attention to the side of the alley at all.
"Okay, good......" The voice was a little louder, and the plea in it meant that the listener understood it, and it sounded quite old, this time with the cry of an immature girl.
Nangong Jue was originally nosy, but he looked at Lu Mengyao, he was so happy, he had no intention of leaving, Nangong Jue had a little leisure, and if he could pick a suitable test product, it would be good.
The voice became more and more intense, Nangong Jue raised his feet and walked into the alley, Lu Mengyao didn't notice that Nangong Jue was leaving, still squatting there to visually measure the distance and the strength of the try.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I really don't have any money, can I supply it to you next time...... Don't take Xiaoru away, she's still a child...... "An old man in ragged clothes knelt in the alley, protecting a teary-eyed little girl behind him, kowtowing to the three big men in front of him and begging for mercy.
"Don't talk nonsense, begging on my territory, uncle, you have to pay silver!" A big man's voice was very loud and fierce.
"If you don't have any money, give us your granddaughter, and you can exchange a lot of money for it in Yihong Courtyard, hehe." The other big man looked obscenely at the little girl behind the old man.
