Chapter 150 The Uninvited Guest
"Take a turn and go?" Qiao Yixi rubbed her jaw, "Then it's not from the Qiao family." ”
Even if the old witch and the other people in the other rooms want to "take care" of the long room in private, they will hide it well and will not be easily exposed, no matter whether they tear their faces or not, the peace on the surface still has to be maintained.
"Don't worry, we'll wait and see." Qiao Lixi pretended not to care at all and comforted her.
At this time, what could be more important than eating?
The group walked along the street in the direction of the Land Temple, although it was still early, but the street stalls were already ready, and some of the breakfast stalls were already in front of diners.
Kimberkin's eyes lit up, and he and Qiao Yixi walked slowly along the left side of the street, and when they saw a good food, they bought a copy and tasted it.
The morning sun in early spring shines on her body very comfortably, there are no bad people around, and Qiao Lixi is in a good mood. There aren't many people yet, but because of the small stalls on both sides of the street, it's still a little narrower to walk on.
Jin Baijin and Qiao Yixi walked in the front, Shen Mama and Angelica followed, and Wei Nanshui was naturally the queen of the palace.
As for the people of the Jin family, they hung behind Wei Nanshui, and after the meeting, the people on both sides discussed the division of labor.
There was a commotion at the end of the street, and it seemed that a ship had docked.
Qiao Yixi took the meat skewer and took a small bite.
The commotion grew louder and louder, and there was cursing and swearing, and Kim Birkin glanced back and said gloatingly, "It's a fight." ”
Qiao Yixi nodded.
Presumably some noble person was rammed.
The sound of hurried footsteps was heard in the distance, and the people behind him could be heard muttering in a low voice of dissatisfaction while dodging to the side.
Qiao Yixi frowned, hesitating whether to turn sideways to avoid it, and heard the sound of Wei Nanshui moving his hand. Immediately afterwards, Angelica seemed to have made a move, and Mama Shen immediately stuck behind her vigilantly.
turned around, and before his eyes were focused, he saw a white shadow passing by, Mama Shen was attacked by the two, and she fell into a warm embrace.
"Jojo." More fear than surprise.
"......" What is the situation?
There was silence all around, and even the few people who had done it before were surprised to maintain an offensive and defensive movement.
Jin Baijin covered his mouth, pointed at Qiao Yixi's fingers trembling and trembling, trembling several times, and the words on his lips were stunned.
The warm embrace finally stopped trembling, and the man took a deep breath before clasping Qiao Lixi's shoulders with both hands and smiling brightly at her.
"Gu Jinzhen." Qiao Yixi almost called out his name through gritted teeth.
"I'm here."
I'll go!
Qiao Yixi couldn't help but burst into foul language.
Is this man stupid?
Who asked if he was gone?
"Ahem." Zhong Chenglin, who was at the end of the crowd, coughed lightly, covered his mouth with a fan, and covered the embarrassment on his face, "Two big men hugging each other, like something!" ”
Qiao Lixi is now in men's clothes, but it's not just two men hugging each other.
Gu Jinzhen glanced at her coldly, turned around, and when she looked at Qiao Lixi again, she naturally took her hand, and the two walked forward side by side.
Qiao Lixi twitched twice awkwardly, and after understanding that Gu Jinzhen would not let go, she no longer struggled senselessly.
However, Jin Baijin squeezed over very righteously, but Zhong Chenglin was carried by the neck, a few steps behind the two, and followed behind.
The smile on the corner of Gu Jinzhen's mouth grew bigger and bigger.
From the beginning of knowing that the third prince had arrived in Shuzhou, he went from the initial fear to the apprehension on the painting boat, the anxiety of not seeing Qiao Lixi, to the irritability of looking for her traces, until he saw Qiao Lixi and held her in his arms, and his heart that he didn't feel beat again, and the timidity that he had never had, the cowardice that bound his limbs before, and even couldn't breathe involuntarily, finally turned into a strong joy.
It was an emotion he had never experienced, at first, like silk, slowly wrapped around him, the sweet and greasy taste invaded from the pores, wrapped in his flesh and bones, and finally invaded his blood, he couldn't help but want to shout, but he didn't understand why he was excited.
Zhong Chenglin frowned, and followed the two not far away.
He saw Gu Jinzhen's abnormality most clearly, although he spent very little time with Gu Jinzhen, as one of his few friends, and still knew him very well, Gu Jinzhen was too abnormal to Qiao Lixi.
Gu Jinzhen wants to cooperate with Qiao Lixi, he only regards it as a simple business contact, but from the letter Gu Jinzhen gave him, he gradually realized that Qiao Lixi's weight in Gu Jinzhen's heart is not just a partner.
Laughed wickedly.
Perhaps, this little friend of his hasn't seen his heart clearly.
Qiao Lixi was awkward for a while, and then she figured it out.
She's here to see the excitement, not to be angry.
Glancing at Gu Jinzhen, Qiao Yixi shook her small hand and stood still in front of the stall.
"Want to eat this?" Before Qiao Lixi could speak, Gu Jinzhen asked softly.
A layer of goosebumps appeared on her forearm, and Qiao Yixi said to the stall owner: "How to turn?" ”
Turn the sugar cake.
This is a snack unique to Jincheng.
At both ends of the stall are two turntables, and in the middle are white slate paintings of sugar. A bamboo pole with a straw handle tied to the top is filled with a dazzling array of finished products of the sugar cake chef – all kinds of animals, from sparrows to goldfish, and all kinds of fruits, are common. Underneath the stall is a red wooden cabinet with sugar pots and raw materials, and sugar juice boiling on a small charcoal stove.
The essence of turning sugar cake is turning.
Whatever the pointer in the middle of the turntable points to, you get what kind of sugar cake. There are many types of sugar cakes, and the most common ones are sparrows, peaches, butterflies, and so on. On the four corners of the turntable, there are dragons and phoenixes, which depends on luck.
"One penny for one transfer."
Qiao Lixi's eyes lit up, Mama Shen was about to take out the money, and the tangyuan had already put the three pennies on the cabinet.
Qiao Lixi glanced at Tang Yuan dissatisfiedly, stretched out her finger, and turned it slightly.
Well, it's a goldfish.
The stall took the initiative quickly, and with a flick of his wrist on the shiny white slate, the sugar juice poured out of the spoon, and a goldfish sketched out in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Lixi took it in his hand and looked at it, and handed it to Jin Baijin casually.
Kimberkin smiled, "rattle", and bit off the goldfish's head.
Gu Jinzhen's eyes darkened a little, and she still looked at Qiao Lixi with a smile.
Again.
Qiao Lixi moved her fingers and flicked the pointer on the turntable again.
Sparrow.
Qiao Yixi frowned, took the sparrow candy cake handed by the stall owner, thought about it, and handed it to Zhong Chenglin.
Zhong Chenglin was sincerely frightened and looked at Gu Jinzhen.
In the other party's warning eyes, he slowly opened his mouth, bit off the sparrow's head in one bite, and chewed it rattlingly, as if he was not eating sugar cakes, but mountain delicacies, and the provocation was not too obvious.
Here, the two of them were still fighting a lawsuit, and Qiao Lixi looked at the turntable, hesitating whether to continue.
Gu Jinzhen pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand inadvertently, and put her left hand on her lower abdomen with her right fist.
Finally, Qiao Lixi flicked the pointer again.
Golden Dragon!
Aha!
It's time to go to the Golden Dragon!
Qiao Yixi looked at Gu Jinzhen excitedly, and the latter was also surprised.
At the urging of Qiao Yixi, the master first used a large scoop of candy to make the dragon body, and then hooked the scales, fins, beard, and tail layer by layer. The dragon's eyes are partially separated, made of sugar beads, and then connected to the eyebrows and inserted vertically on the dragon's body.
Qiao Lixi took the golden dragon, raised her eyebrows at Gu Jinzhen conspicuously, bit off a dragon whisker, held it in her mouth, waited for the syrup to melt, and then swallowed it slowly.
"Delicious?" Gu Jinzhen said inexplicably.
"It's not tasty."
Qiao Lixi, who had been enjoying it before, shook her head decisively and handed him the golden dragon casually.
Gu Jinzhen pinched the bamboo skewer and turned around, smiled warmly, bit on the dragon's claw, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it.
"Hell yes!" Zhong Chenglin muttered.
He knew that Qiao Lixi was very important to Gu Jinzhen, but he didn't expect that it was so important that Gu Jinzhen could change her taste for Qiao Lixi.
Soon, Qiao Lixi tried other delicacies, and every time her portion, half of it fell into Gu Jinzhen's stomach, so Jin Baijin's gaze at Gu Jinzhen became more and more gloomy, and finally, when Qiao Lixi handed Gu Jinzhen the two spoonfuls of steamed bean curd that he had eaten in his hand, he couldn't help it, forcibly inserted it between the two, and took it as a matter of course.
Gu Jinzhen's eyes tightened.
Qiao Lixi raised her eyebrows.
Yo, be bold!
As if to confirm Qiao Lixi's ridicule, Jin Baijin scooped two spoonfuls of bean curd in his mouth and glared at Gu Jinzhen.
"Whoa!"
The rice balls were the most direct, and he pulled out his long sword.
Kimberkin's heels shook twice, and he stood stubbornly in front of Qiao Yixi.
Gu Jinzhen smiled, and the smile was extremely sarcastic.
Jin Baijin is also arrogant, "I originally made an appointment with Qiaoqiao today, but you didn't invite you to forget it, and you robbed me of my things." ”
"Your stuff?" Gu Jinzhen tightened his eyes dangerously.
Jin Baijin said strongly: "I have already agreed with Qiaoqiao, we are half of the food on this street today, and you have already eaten a lot of my food." ”
Gu Jinzhen snorted coldly.
Zhong Chenglin stepped forward with his head on the ground, grabbed Jin Baijin's neck, pulled him back to his side, and made a "please" gesture at Qiao Yixi and Gu Jinzhen, signaling the two to continue.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?" As the flow of people walked forward, Qiao Lixi asked in a low voice.
Gu Jinzhen's footsteps slowed down, and Tang Yuan behind him immediately paused his body, and then, Shen Mama, Angelica and others, who were forcibly restrained, were forcibly slowed down, along with Zhong Chenglin and Jin Baijin and others who fell at the back of the team, were forcibly slowed down.
Mama Shen looked at Qiao Yixi's back and nodded calmly to Angelica.
Qiao Lixi and Gu Jinzhen gradually moved away, and the two turned into the alley, walked through a damp path, and stood by the river.
Qiao Lixi stood on the bluestone slab and looked at the water quietly.
Gu Jinzhen stood behind her, staring at her side for a moment.
During this time, he thought about it a lot.
The self in the previous life, the self in this life.
- Unexplained timidity, inexplicable anger, inexplicable taste, all kinds of things, all seem to be related to Qiao Yixi.
He still hadn't figured it out, but it didn't affect his friendship with Qiao Yixi.
Is it just to repay the favor?
Is it just because of guilt, remorse?
