Chapter Ninety-Six: Encountering the Little Bully in the City (Part I)
After entering Jinling City, even if it was nearly late, the streets were still full of pedestrians and cars. Deng Xiaoke and Huan'er, who had been probing their brains, were even more excited, and they were curious about everything they saw. "Wow! Miss, look at how beautiful the mud doll sold by the white-bearded old man, and the red sugar gourd is delicious at first glance. "Lian'er, Lian'er, come and see, there's a ladies pavilion there, is it a place to sell jewelry?"
Yi Lian'er, who was already a little nervous in the car, finally couldn't resist the temptation, and poked out her little head to look outside. Seeing the dense pedestrians on the road and the rows of shops on both sides of the street, she felt a little dizzy, after all, she had not even entered Qingping County before going out this time. "Hey, there is a silk village there, you can come and buy some cloth to make clothes for Brother Anping another day, he has been wearing clothes for many days. I just don't know if the cloth in the capital is expensive. Thinking of this, she secretly pinched the few coins that A-Niang sewed in the corners of her clothes before going out of the door.
Xu Anping listened to the words of a few girls in the carriage, and secretly wrote down the places they were interested in, and he could take them over for a walk another day, while driving the carriage to carefully look for the inn. After a while, they came to the door of a blessed inn that looked quite spacious. As soon as he stopped and jumped out of the carriage, and was still stretching out his hand to help Lian'er down, a small servant came up to take the reins, and asked with a smile: "Guest officer, is it a tip or a hotel?" ”
"Prepare three upper rooms first, and then prepare a table of good dishes." Xu Anping did not lack silver, so he was lenient. Yi Lian'er, who was following him, felt that it was too wasteful, and she had the heart to say that she would just want two upper rooms, but when she looked at Deng Xiaoke next to her, she still didn't say anything.
After eating and washing, the drums of the curfew also sounded, and Xu Anping and the others went back to their rooms to rest. Lying in bed, he couldn't sleep. Perhaps it was his innate insecurity, or perhaps his long-term experience as an assassin had made him wary of strange places, or perhaps a little fear of an unpredictable future that kept him awake. So, he closed his eyes and began to plan what was next. Directly taking refuge in Sun Yongcheng, the right capital, is the next step, which will make you lose your independence and have no way to ensure your safety. It's best to find a different errand and help each other with Sun Yongcheng. That Xia Ge was always the last move, and it wasn't necessarily An's kindness to give him the jade pendant. After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't have a clue, so he decided to put it aside for the time being, take Yi Lian'er and them for a good walk tomorrow, and then find a house to live in and make plans.
The next morning, at midnight, the drumming of the end of the curfew had just stopped, and Huan'er knocked on the door outside the room urgently, "Uncle, get up, the sun is out." The eldest lady asked me to call you over for breakfast, and if you don't eat, you'll be hungry. ”
Xu Anping had actually gotten up a long time ago and was doing some exercises to maintain his physical fitness in the room. He pretended to have just woken up and said, "Huan'er, let me sleep a little longer." You go and let Kerr eat first, don't wait for me. ”
The knock on the door rang again, "No! The eldest lady said that if she didn't wake you up, she wouldn't allow me to eat breakfast. Uncle, hurry up, it's a big deal, I'll give you a little bit of snacks to eat. With this sentence, Xu Anping actually heard the taste of pain.
Xu Anping didn't tease Huan'er anymore, washed his face and opened the door, pinched Huan'er's fleshy little face, and said with a smile: "Let's go, for Huan'er's snacks." ”
Huan'er was so happy that her eyes narrowed into a line, and she jumped up and down to lead the way.
Xu Anping came to the lobby of the inn and saw that the table in front of Deng Xiaoke was full of soup dumplings, eight-treasure porridge, five-ding buns, firewood wontons, leather belly noodles, pot stickers, black rice, etc., and Yi Lian'er, who was sitting next to him, was very cramped and looked at it a little dumbfounded.
"Drink! Miss, you're bold enough. You've spent all the dowry, haven't you? Xu Anping sat at the table and teased.
"Some of them are so poor in eating, be careful that they will choke you to death if they eat later."
Xu Anping didn't care, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of a five-ding bag, and was so hot that he could only breathe. He saw Yi Lian'er still sitting next to him, and said with a sigh of relief: "Oh, Lian'er, eat quickly, be careful not to burn." Oh......"
Huan'er, who sat down and didn't speak, was burying her head in hard work, sucking on the soup dumplings, making her mouth full of oil. Deng Xiaoke picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped it for her, and said with an angry smile: "Huan'er, you eat slowly, there are still a lot." ”
Huan'er didn't raise her head, and said hesitantly: "Oh, oh, you can eat too, Miss." This soup dumpling is delicious. Huan'er wants to be able to eat it every day in the future. ”
After breakfast, Xu Anping took Deng Xiaoke and them to wander around Jinling City. said that it was carrying, but in fact, it was more about following them. Deng Xiaoke held Huan'er and Yi Lian'er, and was curious about everything he saw. Even those who sell wooden hairpins and copper bracelets on the roadside, they all look at them with relish and try them on from time to time. Xu Anping, who was walking behind them, was pleasing to the eye. Huan'er pouted a little absent-mindedly, and her dripping black eyes were always staring at the pastry shop on the roadside, until Xu Anping stepped forward to buy her snacks and became happy again.
Next, Xu Anping once again saw the horror of three women in one play. They went into the rouge shop one moment, walked into the silk village one moment, and ran into the treasure cabinet after a while, and there was no time to be idle at all. Even with Xu Anping's physique, he was a little unable to hold on, but he still had a smile on his face, ready to answer Miss Deng's various questions "sincerely".
In the afternoon, Deng Xiaoke and the three of them finally got a little tired, so they found a drunken fairy building that looked very lively to eat.
Xu Anping specially ordered Jinling's more famous salted duck, snail plug *** clam steamed eggs and other dishes. Seeing that Deng Xiaoke had only eaten two bites with a bitter face, he asked, "Ke'er, isn't this dish to your taste?" ”
Deng Xiaoke wrinkled his pretty little nose and said, "These dishes are too salty." ”
Before Xu Anping could speak, a flirtatious voice suddenly came from behind him, "This little lady is very right!" Ben Gongzi has said that the shopkeeper has been in charge several times before, but he still doesn't change. Since this is the case, can the little lady go to Mochou Lake to enjoy the lotus flowers and eat a fresh fish at the same time? ”
The lobby of the restaurant, which was still a little noisy just now, suddenly became quiet, and a young man with a thin and tall figure, dressed in cyan satin, holding a folding fan, with a white face as if he was bloodless, and a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth was staring at Deng Xiaoke with naked eyes. Then his eyes turned slightly, and his eyes brightened.
Deng Xiaoke knew the severity, suppressed the anger in his heart and said softly: "Deng Jiu, I'm tired, let's go back." ”
Xu Anping nodded, and was about to take Deng Xiaoke and them to get up and leave.
Seeing this, the young man spread his folding fan and slapped it twice, stretched out his hand to stop Deng Xiaoke and said, "Little lady, don't go!" This son is very sincere. ”
