After shopping in the West Market, it was already noon, and at this time Li Hong felt a little hungry, so he was about to leave the West Market to eat something.

In fact, strictly speaking, Li Hong has not completely visited the entire West Market, because there is one place that Yan Zhuang has not taken him to visit, and this place is the slave market in the West Market.

The status of slaves and maids in the Tang Dynasty is extremely low.

Tang Luzhong once publicly stipulated: "Slaves and maids are cheap, the law is better than livestock, all those who buy slaves and maids, horses, cows, camels, mules and donkeys have not set up market coupons after three days, and the moss is thirty, and the seller is reduced by one class." Therefore, in addition to the trade in goods and livestock, there was also a human market specializing in the sale of slaves and maids. And this has become part of the prosperity of the West Market.

When Li Hong and his entourage left Xishi and walked to the vicinity of Yanshoufang, they smelled the fragrance of fried green onions.

As soon as Li Hong smelled the smell of green onions, his appetite increased, and he was eager to go to this store to see what was selling, he followed the fragrance into Yanshoufang, and turned an alley, and saw a small shop at the intersection of the street in front of him from a distance, and the sign at the door said "green onion noodles" three big characters that had been blackened by oil smoke.

The fried aroma of chopped green onions came from this small shop, and there was a faint sound of men and women arguing.

When Li Hong walked to the door of the shop, he heard a man's arrogant voice coming from the store, "Little lady of the Zhou family, what do you say is wrong with our family?" Not to mention that he is a child of the royal family, he will be crowned the king of the county in the future. You have to follow him, not to mention that you will have inexhaustible food and clothing in this life, and your brother will also become a relative of the emperor, and his career will be bright in the future, what do you say you are not satisfied with? ”

As soon as the man's voice fell, a female voice came out, "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that I'm used to eating coarse tea and light rice, and I'm not used to eating the delicacies of the palace. ”

This woman's voice is graceful and beautiful, and it is enough to make people have infinite reverie about her beauty!

"The little lady of the Zhou family, our family Langjun has repeatedly begged to marry you, don't rely on your own appearance and don't know what to do!" The man in the store was clearly already a little angry.

"Please go back and tell your family Langjun that if he dies of this heart, I, Zhou Juan, will not marry him!"

"I don't know what to do, you really toast and don't eat and drink! Let me tell you, today you have to promise and agree, and if you don't agree, you have to agree, otherwise don't blame me for being polite! ”

"Ahh A woman's exclamation came from inside the store, and at the same time, another voice shouted, "Bastard, don't touch my sister-" Immediately, Li Hong suddenly heard the sound of something being knocked to the ground from the store, as well as the woman's insults.

When Li Hong heard this, he had already guessed a rough idea, this is probably another lecherous and adulterous child of the royal family, who must have taken a fancy to the woman in this shop and was about to forcibly marry into the mansion as a concubine.

"Your Royal Highness-" At this time, Yan Zhuang was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Hong, for Li Hong, he didn't care about any princes, ministers, princes and nobles, these people are the sons of nobles in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Li Hong, they are just a courtier among the thousands of subjects of the Tang Dynasty, to say that looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, Gaozong is the supreme emperor, he is the prince above 10,000 people under one person, of course, now that Empress Wu is participating in politics, he can only rank third. Therefore, he ordered Chen Gong beside him, "You go in and clean up these scum, and we will eat here today." ”

"No!" Chen Gong took the order, led a guard, and strode away from the shop. Yan Zhuang saw that Li Hong had decided to eat here, so he closed his mouth in amusement.

Chen Gong walked into the shop less than a moment ago, and saw four soldiers in military uniforms and a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes fleeing from the shop in disgrace.

At this time, a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old walked out of the shop, he was not tall but very handsome, his clothes were plain, but he still couldn't hide his sharpness, but there were obviously some bruises on his cheeks, which seemed to be caused by a few people who had just escaped, the young man bowed slightly to Li Hong and Yan Zhuang, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry two, my sister is not feeling well today, the shop is no longer open, please come back next time!" ”

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, who said it's not open!" As soon as the young man's voice fell, the voice of the woman named Zhou Juan who had just spoken came from the small shop. Immediately, a woman who was double ten, graceful and beautiful, walked out.

The young man saw Zhou Juan walking out of the store and said in a pleading tone, "Sister, your face is a little haggard today, let's take a day off!" ”

"If we take a day off, we will make one less day's money, what can you use to buy books if you don't have money, and how can you participate in next year's scientific examination if you don't have books to read?" Zhou Juan frowned and sighed.

As soon as Li Hong saw Zhou Juan in front of him, he was attracted by her.

Although Zhou Juan is only wearing an ordinary light green coarse cloth skirt, it is still difficult to hide her slender figure and tall twin peaks, coupled with her long hair that seems to have been scattered by the quarrel in the store just now and a pretty face with sexy cherry lips, even if she stands quietly at the door of the store, she can still give people a charming attitude that has read the vicissitudes of the world and has all kinds of charms.

In the Tang Dynasty, only aristocratic women could wear open corsets, concubines and princesses were allowed to bare their breasts, singing and dancing prostitutes were also allowed to be half-naked to please people, and ordinary women were not allowed to be half-breasted.

Otherwise, let her wear such a "topless dress", with her charm and charm, she is definitely a beautiful woman who skillfully combines women's plump twin peaks and amorous postures.

No wonder the other party just lives in this small shop but still attracts the attention of the children of the royal family, such a beauty is indeed too eye-catching!

Just as Li Hong was looking at this Zhou Juan, Zhou Juan was also looking at him.

Zhou Juan has never been outside the door, and the guest will be a Lang Jun with an ordinary appearance and a somewhat sick face. Li Hong is thin because of his perennial illness, and his appearance is too ordinary, but he is in the palace and has been in a high position all the year round, so he has a natural noble atmosphere, plus he has a pair of bright, clean and clear eyes. made her look a lot less charming between her eyebrows when she saw him, and her reddish pretty face was more shyness that a girl should have.

Especially when her eyes touched Li Hong's eyes, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, she didn't know why she felt trembling when she saw him, but she knew that she liked his simple, spotless, like a clear spring water! This gaze made her feel more peaceful and peaceful than she had ever been, and she felt very safe and secure, as well as a visceral but indescribable sense of dependence.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly, without saying a word, and their gentle eyes implied indescribable thousands of feelings!

At this moment, for him and her, time fell into a forbidden state, space froze, and only each other's affectionate gaze remained in eternity.

After a long time, Yan Zhuang, who felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, coughed lightly and said to Li Hong in a low voice, "Your Highness, we can go in!" ”

"Enh Li Hong hurriedly came back to his senses and appropriately concealed his embarrassment, and asked Zhou Juan in front of him very politely, "I wonder if this lady can make a bowl of green onion noodles for us?" I've just been shopping around the West Market all morning, and now I'm a little hungry. ”

Zhou Juan immediately retracted her gaze when she heard Yan Zhuang's words, she lowered her head and showed the shyness of a little girl, and said with a slightly red face, "Of course you can, but you may have to let Lang Jun wait for a while, the slave family needs to go back and clean up now before they can cook." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the messy long hair that was scattered over his shoulders because there was no wooden hairpin.

At this time, Chen Gong walked out and handed a broken wooden hairpin to Li Hong, and whispered a few words in Li Hong's ear.

So Li Hong knew that it was because when there was a quarrel in the store just now, her hair bun was broken by the other party, and the wooden hairpin fell to the ground and was trampled on, so her hair looked so messy.

"Well, let me help you!" Li Hong opened his mouth without thinking, and no longer paid attention to Zhou Juan in front of him who was slightly surprised after hearing his words, but said to Yan Zhuang, but asked Yan Zhuang, "Give the hosta you bought in the Hu store to Gu-"

Yan Zhuang was stunned for a moment, so he hurriedly took out a hosta he had just bought in the Langdong jewelry store from his arms and handed it to Li Hong. Li Hong took the hosta, strode to Zhou Juan, who was a little overwhelmed, gently pulled up her long scattered hair, coiled the long hair together and pinned it with the hosta, and then smiled at her and said, "Look, don't you have to clean it up now, right?" ”

"Ahh That's true! Zhou Juan was slightly stunned, and then said excitedly, "Since I don't need to clean up anymore, you can go and sit inside, and I'll go make noodles for you now." ”

"Sister-" When the young man saw that his sister was going to continue to sell noodles, he was about to open his mouth to dissuade him, but before he finished speaking, he was yelled at by Zhou Juan, "Shut up, why don't you go back to study for me!" ”

"Sister, you-!" As soon as the young man was about to speak, he saw his sister glaring at him fiercely, and he didn't dare to refute her anymore, so he could only snort coldly and walked straight into the store.

"Uh, this, he's my brother, and he's going to prepare for tomorrow's scientific expedition!" Zhou Juan smiled apologetically, and said to Li Hong with a slight shyness, "Lang Jun, come in and sit!" ”

Li Hong nodded slightly, followed her into the store and chose a window seat to sit down, Yan Zhuang and Chen Gong did not show their respect to Li Hong too deliberately at this time, so they sat sideways opposite him, and the other four guards also chose a position near the door to sit down.
