Chapter 57: You Don't Know
Cui Ning's heart jumped wildly, and his face was swollen and red: "No! No! No, this piece of jade is mine. ”
"It's the same! There are also two words inscribed. ”
Ping Ping raised his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't remember what words were engraved on Zhang Huan's piece of jade for a while.
Cui Ning saw that she had forgotten a little, and hurriedly pleaded: "This kind of jade can be bought anywhere in the capital city, and it is engraved with words. ”
"Really? But it's really like that. ”
Ping Ping took off the jade suspiciously, held it in the air and looked at it, "Hmm! Maybe you're right, there is a crack in this piece of jade, and his piece does not. ”
Ping Ping returned the jade to Cui Ning, she stretched her waist, looked around and said, "This garden is very beautiful, but it's too deserted and boring!" ”
She rolled her eyes, "Otherwise, let's go shopping!" ”
Cui Ning showed a look of hope in her eyes, but she still bit her lip, shook her head and said, "I can't go out, my father will scold!" ”
"So what, you're not going out to do bad things, how can a father not let his daughter go out shopping?"
"But..." Cui Ning looked back at a few maids in the distance, and was a little embarrassed: "They don't allow me to go out." ”
"What's so hard about that? With such a big snowfall, they just slipped out the back door while they weren't looking. ”
............
From Xuanyangfang to the East Market is only two miles away, heavy snow falls, a carriage drives slowly on the street, the sound of firecrackers continues to ring in the ears, not long after, then I see the gate of the East Market from a distance, at this time it is when the scholars come back after the first subject, the street, the restaurant is full of young people, the street is full of people, the noise is endless.
"This is my third uncle, and he is also my attendant, you can call him Lao Lin." In the carriage, Ping Ping pointed to Lin Deqi, who was sitting next to the coachman, and smiled.
"Third Uncle Lin is good!" Cui Ning pursed his lips and smiled.
"Ahh Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! Lin Deqi was called uncle by Miss Xiangguo, so comfortable that every hair had to fall out of the pores, he lifted his spirits, patted his chest and said: "You can rest assured to go shopping, there is a third uncle I am here, who dares to do that, that move... Mess with you! ”
His voice became lower and lower, and his eyes were unusually bright as he watched a beautiful woman swaying by, his nose groove unconsciously lengthened, and he waited until the beautiful woman disappeared into the corner of the street, and then he touched the back of his head and smiled.
Cui Ning asked in a low voice, "Pingping, are you reliable as the third uncle?" Witnessing Lindage still wandering in adolescence, she was really relieved.
"Third uncle! Can't you be honest? Lin Pingping lost face in front of her friends, and she was also a little angry.
"I'm fine! I saw that she was wearing too little, and I was worried about her body, hehe! ”
.......
Dongshi is mainly engaged in high-class luxury goods, the road is wide, there are more than 20 steps, most of the storefronts are magnificent, the silk brocade, tribute silk, red line carpet of the silk shop, the color is gorgeous, the production is exquisite; The white porcelain, Yue porcelain, three-color porcelain, etc., in the ceramic shop, are exquisite and expensive.
Cui Ning and Lin Pingping walked around the shops hand in hand, sometimes taking a string of Japanese pearls on their heads to try on makeup, and sometimes picking up a piece of Shu brocade to compare on their bodies.
It was the New Year, and many girls of their age were also shopping in groups in the East Market, and many scholars also ran out to relax with nothing to do, but their eyes were swimming on the young women like thieves, and Uncle Lin was glaring at them angrily, while his own eyes were also busy brushing around.
It was getting dark, and Cui Ning couldn't walk anymore, so she grabbed Lin Pingping, who was over-energetic, and begged: "Pingping, it's okay today!" ”
"That's right!" Pingping touched his stomach and said with a smile: "I'm going to be hungry, the inn is opposite the East Market, let's go back to the inn to eat!" ”
Cui Ning smiled and nodded slightly.
The gate of Pingkangfang is facing the East Market, and it is only two miles away from the sixth inn of Gaosheng, and the inn is very lively at this time, not because the scholars returned from the exam, but Zhang Huan was sealed as an official, and he also got a large reward, and the inn went up to the shopkeeper and down to the chicken dog, and he had to treat him.
Of course, there are also people who don't go out and hide in the room to sulk, Lin Zhiyu is one, today's test is "The Book of Filial Piety", he bet on the right question, but he did not acquiesce; Zheng Qingming is another, his examination guide was forgotten in the Qinglou last night, and he rushed to get it again, although the examiner did not embarrass him, but there was not enough time.
The happiest were Zhao Yan and Song Lianyu, they not only did well in the exam, but also an official suddenly came to the door and told them that they were named Yun Cai Lieutenant for going to burn grain with Zhang Huan, and each received a reward of 1,000 yuan.
And Song Lianyu went to the government-run cabinet shop, took out a ticket of 200 yuan, and asked someone to bring it to his father at home, and the whole inn was shrouded in a joyful atmosphere.
"Sister, have you forgotten to cook?"
Lin Qiaoqiao's dream of Mrs. Qipin's Destiny was finally awakened, she looked blankly at Pingping, who was angry because she forgot to cook, and suddenly smiled: "What to cook, my sister is rich, I will take you to Taibai Mansion for dinner." ”
"A thousand! I'm still Mrs. Kuo. Lin Qiaoqiao jumped off the bed happily, "You wait! I'll call your brother-in-law and we'll go to dinner together. ”
As soon as she went out, she suddenly saw Cui Ning standing in the courtyard, and couldn't help but shout: "Miss Cui! ”
"Sister! Don't be so alarmed, I've been with her today. Ping Ping was dismissive of her sister's fuss, and she pushed Qiaoqiao, "You go and call your brother-in-law, Cui Ning will also go to dinner with us." ”
Cui Ning smiled slightly: "I'm here to find Zhang Gongzi, he has something here for me, give it to him, and I'm going home." ”
As soon as the words fell, her smile froze suddenly, and she saw Zhang Huan standing at the door, looking at her with an amiable smile.
Cui Ning's face 'Teng! The ground was red, and she wanted to say something, but her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything.
At this time, Zhao Yan and Third Uncle Lin also walked into the yard, Lin Qiaoqiao hurriedly pulled her husband aside and whispered a few words to him, Zhao Yan laughed and said, "Okay!" Let's go out to eat together today, I'm in for a treat! ”
Zhang Huan took a deep look at Cui Ning, "Miss Cui should go too!" ”
Cui Ning was shocked, she quickly shook her head and said in a low voice: "I can't stay out for a long time, I'm going back." ”
"Okay, I'll send you back first!"
Cui Ning nodded silently, turned back to Pingping and smiled: "You still have to come to play with me!" ”
"Haha! I don't know if your father will not allow me to enter your house. ”
Cui Ning smiled and shook her head, she said hello to everyone again, turned around and left, Zhang Huan packed up her things and chased after her quickly,
waited for their backs to disappear, but Lin Pingping's eyes slowly flashed a trace of imperceptible gloom.
.........
It was already dark, the snow was still falling, and a thick layer of snow was piled up on the ground, Zhang Huan rode a horse and followed her carriage slowly, neither of the two spoke, turned a corner, and Cui's mansion was already visible.
"Zhang Gongzi, give this back to you!" Cui Ning gently pulled up the curtain and handed the jade in his hand to Zhang Huan.
Zhang Huan didn't answer, he smiled slightly: "Miss Cui gave me a knife, I can't repay it, this piece of jade will be given to you." ”
Cui Ning lowered her head, her face was swollen and red, but she felt extremely sweet in her heart, and she only heard 'Da! Da! Seeing that the carriage was less than twenty steps away from the gate of the mansion, Cui Ning finally mustered up the courage, stared at Zhang Huan's eyes affectionately, and said in a low voice: "What day is it today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince?" ”
After groaning, she gently lowered the curtain of the car, leaving Zhang Huan in the flying snow.
"What is the night tonight, in the middle of the boat? When is the day today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince? Shame was good, not ashamed, and the heart was troubled and endless, and learned that the prince! The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy! ”
