Kaifeng City is still prosperous, but there are more beggars on the streets, which is simply ten steps, one card, one hundred steps, and one sentry.

"Shopkeeper, take twenty pairs of medicine according to the prescription!"

West Street, Baicaotang, Zhao Shuo took out the recipe from his chest and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately greeted him with a smile, picked up the recipe and looked at it slightly, and said, "Childe, wait a moment." After speaking, the shopkeeper handed the recipe to the man and picked up the abacus to calculate the bill.

Less~

"Childe, two taels and seven dollars!"

"Give."

After paying the money and leaving the Baicao Hall, naturally an entourage took the medicine in Zhao Shuo's hand.

Zhao Shuo walked very slowly, and from time to time he would squat in front of the stall and just watch and not buy.

"Auntie, how much is this?"

In front of the jewelry stall, Zhao Shuo pointed to an emerald green hosta, which he was going to buy and give to Yang Qianqian after returning to Beijing.

"Childe, two, two, four, money."

Zhao Shuo bowed slightly, then looked at the drifting snow beside him, and said, "Pick one and give it to you." ”

Suddenly, Piaoxue was stunned, happy and shy, and after hesitating for a moment, Piaoxue blushed and pointed to a pair of jade earrings.

"Childe, the two things are a total of three taels and six dollars."

"Wrap it up!"

Zhao Shuo took out the silver taels from the money bag, and the stall owner took out the rod scale and began to weigh the silver taels. Although it was not the first time Zhao Shuo had bought something, his eyelids would jump involuntarily every time he was at this time.

"Thank you." Piaoxue, who was extremely shy, took the earrings handed by Zhao Shuo and carefully put them into her purse.

"You don't have to be so polite between friends." After a pause, Zhao Shuo was afraid that something was wrong, so he hurriedly added: "I don't mean anything else, just to thank you for taking care of you." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Shuo looked back at Piaoxue, who was half a figure behind, and sighed in her heart, Piaoxue She had stayed in the Jiaofang Division since she could remember, and she was helpless and resolutely redeemed herself for a few words. And her identity dared to break away from the protection of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion without strong support, and she was simply a lamb in the eyes of others. So Zhao Shuo had to take her in, because she was redeemed for him.

"Rock sugar gourd ~ two pennies in a string ~ not sweet and no money ~"

"Not sweet, no money?"

"No sweet, no money!"

"Are you eating?" Zhao Shuo turned back to the two attendants behind him and asked.

"Master Xie, we don't eat."

"Oh." Zhao Shuo bowed slightly: "Then, come to two strings." ”

"Okay!"

Zhao Shuo took two strings of sugar gourds and handed one to Piaoxue, and then bit one of the sugar gourds in his hand.

"It's not sweet."

"Poof!" Hearing this, Piaoxue covered her mouth and snickered, and said in her heart, Childe is really bad.

“…… Son... Small business, please don't make jokes! The old man was stunned at first, and said with a smile and trembling smile.

"Don't shout in the future, don't be sweet, don't want money."

"Thank you, Childe, I remember."

The money, Zhao Shuo still gave it, he was just looking for a happy time, and by the way, he just warned him, not really to embarrass him.

Eating the sugar gourd, Zhao Shuo returned along another street, and when Zhao Shuo finished eating, he found that the sugar gourd in Piaoxue's hand was restored and unsealed.

"Don't like to eat?"

"It's not!"

"Because on the street?"

"Hmm!"

Zhao Shuo just smiled when he heard this and didn't say anything more, because Piaoxue used to be an Oiran, so she paid a lot of attention to her words and deeds, or she had been trained for a long time.

After half an hour, Zhao Shuo returned to the small courtyard of Yangfu, and when Zhao Shuo finished taking a shower and eating, four maids came in to clean up, and then rearranged five appetizers.

"Haotian, I haven't understood your purpose in adopting so many children after thinking about it for a day today."

Fang Xing held the wine jug and pinched the wine glass to drink himself, Zhao Shuo, who was sitting on the side, only stopped drinking, and Piaoxue only moved when there was no wine in the Fang decanting jug.

"I thought you wouldn't ask!" Zhao Shuo said lightly.

"Then I didn't ask."

"I want to be a maritime merchant."

......Hearing this, Fang Xinghu glanced at Zhao Shuo suspiciously, his eyes obviously not believing what Zhao Shuo said.

"I kid you not, it's just going to be different." Zhao Shuo smiled and said in his heart, I don't dare to tell you my ultimate goal with your mouth.

"I'll just say it's not that simple, but the sea is very dangerous, and the slightest mistake can cause the ship to be destroyed and killed." Speaking of this, Fang Xing paused, and looked back at Zhao Shuo, "Personally into battle?" ”

Zhao Shuo replied truthfully: "No, not in the front, but in the back." ”

"Remember to take me with you, I want to see the exotic." Hearing this, Fang Xing's eyes lit up, and then he said gloomily: "The Western Expedition is not good, I can only secretly go to sea with you in the future." ”

"You're not afraid of death?"

"You're not afraid of what I'm afraid of."

"Yes, it's just the right company."

"People there really don't take a bath?"

"Really, they think bathing brings disease."

"How bad that has to be."

"You'll know if you smell it."

“……”

This night, Zhao Shuo and Fang Xing chatted until late at night, which also made Piaoxue reacquaint herself with Zhao Shuo, and at the same time made Piaoxue have more questions in her heart.

But she just buried these questions in her heart, she didn't say a word from beginning to end, she just listened to the conversation between the two silently, because in this way she could understand Zhao Shuo better.

She doesn't regret her original choice, because the road was her own choice, no matter how she goes, she will go on, happily, even if there is an abyss in front of her.

Although she worked hard because of Zhao Shuo's poetry, through this period of contact, she found that she preferred Zhao Shuo as a person to his poetry.

～～

The next day, everyone began to embark on the journey to Runing City again, because they slept too late last night, Fang Xing sat alone in a carriage to supplement sleep, while Zhao Shuo and Piaoxue sat in another carriage and took a nap.

The bumps in the road made Zhao Shuo unable to sleep, and looking at the same drifting snow, Zhao Shuo opened his mouth and said:

"Why be obsessed!"

Piaoxue blinked her eyes: "Why did Childe say that?" ”

"Know why I stayed with you last night?"

Piaoxue bowed slightly, and her expression was very firm: "I know, since I have chosen the son, no matter what road ahead, I am willing." ”

"Why bother!"

"It's not bitter, it's easy and pleasant to stay by Childe's side." After speaking, Piaoxue smiled at Zhao Shuo, although Zhao Shuo was no longer what she imagined, she found that she still liked to stay by Zhao Shuo's side.

Zhao Shuo shook his head and closed his eyes after taking a deep look at Piaoxue, the reason why he left Piaoxue yesterday was to let Piaoxue recognize him clearly and let her know that her choice was wrong.

How do you know that Piaoxue is a person with tendons, and he chose to go all the way to the dark, which made Zhao Shuo very depressed and helpless, so he chose to go with the flow.
