Chapter 45: The Exquisite Hosta
"You'll find out more about me in the future."
"No matter how much I have, I'll find out." Canglan said in a low voice: "When you fall asleep next time, I'll secretly flip it over." I don't believe I can't figure out what the magic weapon is. ”
Su Suxuan smiled and said, "Okay, just kidding, if you want to see this magic weapon in the future, I'll show you." But now is not the time, we have to get out of the way. ”
"That's what you said!"
"Hmm!"
After a few days of travel, almost all major matters in the capital were cut off from news, and naturally there was no news from the three princes.
has walked to the bustling area of the capital, but it is already night, Cangnan has changed into men's clothes, with a hat on the edge, surrounded by a thin layer of silk, from the outside you can't see how the people inside look.
The streets were bustling with traffic, and hawkers shouted, "Come and see!" Check it out! Good rouge has good rouge! Check it out! Check it out! "Extra-large turnips! Fresh turnips? Sell cheap, sell cheap!! "Sell combs! Sell combs! A comb made of beef tendon and jade bones, the best material! Excellent texture!! Girls, don't miss it!! "The shouts and shouts continued...
Red lanterns hang between the opposing pavilions, small bridges and flowing water have red boats paddling gently on the river, and children play and chase each other on the streets.
Canglan has not seen such a lively capital for a long time, the lights are full of festivity, and it seems that she has returned to the time when she was still the eldest lady of the Bai family carefree. At that time, I often came out to play, and when I saw such a scene, I felt extremely ordinary, but now I just feel that when I return here, countless warm feelings come up.
"This son! Let's take a look at this jade hairpin is an absolutely good material! Beautifully carved! Buy one for the girl you want!! A plainly dressed woman saw Su Suxuan and Canglan, two sons with extraordinary bearing, although they were not very luxuriously dressed, they looked kind, and handed the jade hairpin to Su Suxuan.
Originally, the two of them were passers-by, but Canglan stopped, but what she paid attention to was not the hairpin handed over, but the many fine jade bracelets neatly placed on the red cloth on the business platform, as well as the ring necklace, and unconsciously remembered the ivory bracelet that Ling Xiao carved for him before.
Canglan couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, it wasn't that she wanted these bracelets, but that these bracelets reminded her of the memories she once had.
The woman saw the hat on top of Canglan's head tilting downward, and the breeze was blowing, like algae swaying with the waves in the water, probably noticing that the hat boy's eyes were not paying attention to the jade hairpin in her hand, and then smiled: "This boy, do you need anything else?" ”
Canglan just shook her head, she didn't need these things outside of her body at all now.
Suddenly, Su Suxuan next to him asked, "How much is this jade hairpin?" ”
The woman was about to put down her jade hairpin, but Su Suxuan asked, "How much is this jade hairpin?" I bought it! ”
The woman saw that Su Suxuan was quite interested in the jade hairpin, so she cheered up and said, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, fifty dollars!" ”
Su Suxuan unhurriedly took out a small piece of broken silver from his arms and put it on the stage.
"This son, wait a minute, I'll give you money."
"No need to look for it!"
"Ah, this, this, this is not good..."
"It's okay, please pack this hairpin for me."
"Good! I'll be right away! I'll be right away! "I'm afraid that the woman didn't expect this business to be done without much effort, although this gentleman's dress is not eye-catching, but very low-key, I didn't expect to give money, but he is generous and generous.
"Uh... Su Suxuan: What are you doing here? Canglan on the side was dumbfounded, is his money really running out?! Obviously, it has cost a lot all the way to the capital, how much money did Su Suxuan bring with him!
"Naturally, I bought this jade hairpin."
"This son is not only handsome, but also so polite, I don't know which girl, the son fell in love with it, it was really a blessing from the previous life!" The woman had already packed the hairpin, for fear that Su Suxuan would regret not wanting it.
Although this is an obvious compliment, this is not false at all, to say that this Su Suxuan was indeed born handsome, as if the gods deliberately made it into such a perfect appearance before he was born, and he was quite graceful in his gestures and conversations, and he was even more outstandingly dressed in plain clothes. And this is just on the surface, to talk about his advantages, he is light and strong in martial arts, and he is proficient in medical skills, that book "Attacking Poison 3000" She casually turned a page and he could recite it backwards, so genius he really... Is it human?!
But even if he has so many advantages, she still needs to keep her distance from him, because she has an appointment with Ling Xiao, although now Ling Xiao has become the person who hunts her down, it is because she has changed her identity, if one day he knows the truth, Canglan believes that they will still be together.
Canglan looked up at Su Suxuan through the veil fluttering in the wind, and he smiled politely at the woman: "It's over!" ”
The jade hairpin is also to create the meticulous carving, I think it is also because of the folk craftsmen carefully made, the tail of the jade hairpin that phoenix tail is lifelike, and there are several glass beads falling below its tail, and the streamer runs exquisitely clear. The woman handed the wooden box to Su Suxuan with both hands.
"Thank you!"
"Do you need anything else from this boy?" The woman looked up and asked.
"Uh..." Then she realized that her voice was wrong, and now that she was a woman, she was afraid that if she spoke, she would reveal her gender, so she shook her head.
"Two sons go slowly!"
Su Suxuan nodded slightly, Canglan was still thinking about this, Su Suxuan wouldn't buy this jade hairpin for her, right? If she doesn't kill her, she can't accept it! After walking a few steps, Su Suxuan handed the box in his hand to her.
"What, what, what?" Canglan took a step back, and she insisted in her heart: "Absolutely unacceptable! ”
"There are a lot of people, try to talk as little as possible, don't think too much, just let you, help me hold it!" The voice was very low.
"Oh!" Only then did he feel relieved and reached out to take it. Then he followed closely behind Su Suxuan.
After walking dozens of steps, the back faintly began to notice that something was wrong, maybe it was really a thief's heart, Canglan always felt that someone was following them unconsciously, and was about to turn his head and look back to determine if there was any suspicious person following them. Su Suxuan put his hand on her shoulder and whispered: "There are indeed people behind, don't look back!" ”
Although Su Suxuan was talking to Canglan, his eyes were still staring at the front very casually and boringly.
Canglan stiffly turned his head back that was a little deflected.
I sighed in my heart, why are there always people thinking about them and never forgetting them?
"Turning back frequently will only make others think you're more suspicious, just be casual, don't worry, I'm here."
In fact, Canglan wants to say that she is not worried, the only thing is that she feels that these people are very annoying.
Then I found an inn, and below the inn was a restaurant.
Canglan and Su Suxuan walked in side by side, but they didn't expect this restaurant to be very lively, more than half of the seats were filled, and there was a small table in the corner by the window, which could only seat two people, just right!
Both of them took a fancy to this position, walked over in tacit understanding, sat down face to face, and Su Suxuan put the saber at his waist on the table before sitting down.
As soon as he sat down, a dark and thin boy, seventeen or eighteen, hurriedly ran over and asked, "Two guest officers, what do you want to eat?" As he spoke, he vigorously wiped the table they were sitting on.
"What do you have here?"
"Naturally, it's the signature beef noodles!" The little second wiped the cloth on the table and put it on his shoulder, bent over and prepared to listen to Su Suxuan's order.
"Good! Wait a minute, two guest officers! After saying that, the young shopkeeper left with a second-hand foot.
The two of them were still waiting to come up, but they heard three men sitting at the table next to them, one of them was fat and strong, and the one sitting with him was also black and thin, and the one in the middle with his back to the table of Canglan and Su Suxuan was more burly, and they were talking wantonly while eating and drinking.
"I heard that the Xi Meiren who was favored by the eldest prince has been killed by him!" The fat, muscary man said.
The burly man in the middle agreed: "Really? Is it! Good kill! Good kill! This kind of vixen who is in trouble in the country should have been killed earlier, fortunately, the eldest prince has not been blinded by the fox spirit! ”
"Since ancient times, the harem has been a place of right and wrong, who can say it clearly?" The black and thin one is a little fairer.
"This woman! Most of the people who are too beautiful are cheap, and they think of ways to seduce men all day long! Fight openly and secretly against your competitors, I heard! This woman's hands and feet are not clean, and she stole the jade pendant of the concubine. After saying this, Canglan felt that "greasy" was more suitable for him than "fat" and "strong".
"Wow, is that really the case?! Is there such a thing in the palace?! ”
"Yes!"
The dark, thin man was suspicious again, "You know so well? You're not a concubine living in the palace! ”
"Hey! You're not right! My sister-in-law has seen a lot in the palace! I often write to my family, and I naturally know much about this in the palace."
The black and thin man said: "It seems that the palace is not a good place, and I don't know what kind of dirty women these princes know, this kind of woman who dares to steal can enter the palace." ”
"Like you say, the sophomore prince flocks up with the palace maids every day to have fun, and I don't know if it's a beauty or a femme fatale who accompanies him every day. It's terrifying to think about, maybe one day if you meet an ambitious woman and poison the prince to death. There are thousands of concubines in this palace, and it is still not as good as our wife, at least we are also living peacefully. ”
