7. Chapter 4
"Look, Miss!" Walking in a chaotic manner, Xiaohong suddenly shouted happily.
"It's all said, don't shout like that in front of people." She frowned, but saw Xiaohong's gaze lingering on the stall, as if deliberately trying to distract her.
She was immediately attracted by a silver hairpin in the stall - it was a butterfly swaying, a thin silver piece as thin as a cicada's wings inlaid with a few shiny red and green stones, dotted with silver petals, and the hollowed-out wings could shine through, it was a butterfly that was about to fly, and when it moved, the wings fluttered dexterously.
She involuntarily stepped forward and picked it up.
Looking at this hairpin, Ruoyun's heart seemed to be dancing with it, once upon a time, she seemed to have seen a similar hairpin, so she felt so free when she saw it today......
"Girl, you have such a good eye, this hairpin is a high-quality commodity that costs three taels of silver!" The old woman smiled, looked at her clothes, and her smile slowly cooled.
"Oh, Lord Cheng! If you want to change the satin, you just need to know the sound! Turn it back in person, the little one can't afford it! Not far behind him, the shopkeeper's sweet dripping honey sounded again.
She turned around and clearly looked at the long figure of Shengxue in white getting off the sedan chair, and the fat shopkeeper immediately nodded and greeted her.
As soon as she turned her head, the old woman was already looking at her angrily.
She smiled bitterly, Chu Rulan had never thought of paying her wages in the past three years.
Just as he wanted to go back, several big men suddenly rushed out of the bustling crowd, holding sticks and shouting towards here.
Caught off guard, she saw a small white shadow that seemed to hit her feet, and she was about to fall down as soon as she stumbled.
"Be careful!" Xiaohongyan pulled her quickly, but as soon as she retreated, she bumped into the stall, and the entire stall was smashed.
"Oops!" The old woman cried, but seeing several big men rampage, she was too frightened to shout loudly.
"In front!" A big man shouted, and everyone behind him rushed over.
Chang'an Avenue seemed to explode, and for a while there was a crowd of people, some came to watch and some fled in all directions.
"What's going on?"
"I heard that someone smashed the toys of Master Hu's precious son, no, his son sent a family member to chase after him."
"This Lord Hu is really, he is still a scholar in the Ministry of Rites, and he is not good at disciplining his son, he is only ten years old and he is lawless, tsk."
Ruoyun listened to the conversation of a few people on the side, and couldn't help but shake her head, this official has been bullying the people since ancient times, no matter how small the official is, he will play prestige, and it will be the same everywhere.
The flow of people on Chang'an Street became more and more surging, she got up, and Xiaohong hurriedly checked for her where she fell, as if she was still that delicate young lady.
But as soon as he raised his eyes, the frightened crowd made Cheng Wangye turn around, although he still couldn't see it really, but those eyes seemed to condense all the brilliance and looked at this side steadily.
He's looking at her?!
She didn't know why she was so sure, he was looking at her!
She was a little nervous, but she saw a white and tender little hand grasping the hem of her skirt, and when she lowered her head, it was a small child.
This child was born so good-looking, with big eyes and a straight nose bridge on his white and pure face, even the outstretched hands were white and tender, and he was wearing a white dark brocade jacket with fluff, and his hair was neatly tied in a small crown, and he thought he was a little girl without looking at his clothes.
He and hers were worlds apart from her clothes, but the child didn't mind the stark contrast of the clothes, and grabbed her coarse cloth sleeves without care, and his eyes were as clear and transparent as a lake, and he winked mischievously.
"Run!" He suddenly grinned.
Ruoyun was pulled by him, his strength was so great, she was stumbled and dragged into the crowd.
"Miss!" Xiaohong was anxious, but where was the shadow of the child and Ruoyun.
ran to a street and stopped, the child's face did not change, but Ruoyun was already out of breath.
"Hey...... What do you want to do......" She shook the child's hand away and took a few steps back.
The child smiled mysteriously: "Thank you just now for helping me block it, so that I can get under the stall and hide." The smile was sweet, as if it was completely pure and harmless.
She was stunned, the person who hit her and caused her to fall was actually him! And she seemed to cover up his hiding tracks with such a fall.
"You...... You ......," she pointed at him, and suddenly understood, "are those people who are taking you?" ”
"That's right." He tilted his head, as if there was nothing wrong with it, "Who called that Hu Feng to bully people, I just broke the bamboo pole he beat people, so he called a lot of people to arrest me." But......" he blinked again, "but I'm fast, and thank you for your help." ”
Ruoyun gasped: "Are you so bold? Aren't you afraid that he will trouble you in the future? ”
"Why should I be afraid?" The boy asked rhetorically, but at the age of seven or eight he didn't know what was at stake.
Looking at his clothes, he must not be an ordinary person, she sighed heavily: "You dignitaries and nobles can just have fun, why did you pull me here again, I am a rough girl who will not accompany the little boy to play." ”
She didn't want to be involved in anything, otherwise her life in the Chu family would be even more difficult.
The child scratched his head, and suddenly raised his other hand, which had been hidden, to her.
She exclaimed, isn't this the butterfly hairpin!
"You're stealing!" She glared at him, feeling like her head was bigger.
"How can I steal, when you fell, you fell to the ground, I picked it up, there are many people there and it is inconvenient, come, return it to you." He handed over the hairpin, but saw that she didn't take it, "Not yours?" ”
She shook her head.
"You bought it?"
She shook her head again: "I don't have any money. Ruoyun replied truthfully.
The child suddenly laughed: "Take it all!" I gave it to you, as if I stole it to you! ”
"Hey! You ......" She didn't have time to excuse herself, and the boy shoved the hairpin into her hand and ran away.
"I live in the west of the city, and I have something to look for! My name is Cheng'er! He shouted at her from afar, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
She stood in place with a hairpin.
This is where and where!
What kind of Cheng'er, it's clearly a milk name, Chengxi Da went, wouldn't it be a joke to find him and give him a hairpin?
She took the hairpin back to the stall, but the woman was frightened and took the stall and left.
Xiaohong was nowhere to be found.
She sighed and decided to go back to Chu Mansion first, she didn't do a bunch of work, and if she was charged with being late again, she was afraid that she would be punished again.
As she hurried back, two greedy eyes behind her were staring intently.
"Childe, let's go back, there's nothing to see......" Jiading didn't finish his words, and he immediately received a slap on the head.
Although the person holding the fan has good facial features, there is an indescribable debauchery, and he is very expensive in a blue shirt, and he is pouting and shaking the fan at this moment: "Go, follow that girl!" Come back and report back to me! ”
With a finger of the fan, a slippery sound sounded, and someone on the side immediately responded, following Ruoyun.
But after those people, another person turned to each other and ran away.
