Chapter 62: Walking the Streets
There was gradually a shout of soliciting business on the street, and the pedestrians on the road also put on their masks according to the custom, and the three girls went shopping, two were only busy watching and having fun, and one was dedicated to two things, watching the two girls around while keeping an eye on the surroundings.
"Qingyan, come on." Su Tanxue walked to a small stall selling jewelry, turned her head and saw that Gu Qingyan seemed to be looking at something, so she called her.
When Su Tanxue called Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan looked in the direction of the teahouse, and when she looked at the teahouse, she saw a person with a wolf-like mask smiling at her, and when Gu Qingyan wanted to confirm again, she found that the person was no longer in the teahouse.
Hearing Su Tanxue's voice, Gu Qingyan answered, walked over, and saw Su Tanxue holding a rope bracelet in his hand.
The vendor said: "These are all hand-woven by us, and the one the girl is holding is an auspicious knot." ”
"But what's the point?"
"Weave with five-colored rope to draw an auspicious and good fortune."
Su Tanxue looked at the auspicious knot, and then looked at the other knots, and found that each knot was different, the color, and the decoration on it.
Gu Qingyan said: "Their knots and bracelets are also famous in the town, if you like it, you can choose it yourself." ”
"Fourth girl, can I ask for this?" Yiyi took the knot and asked Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan nodded, not caring at all that Yiyi's words about the four girls made the hawker stunned.
"Four girls?" The peddler repeated.
Gu Qingyan turned around, made a booing gesture, and turned his head to tell Yiyi: "Here you can temporarily call me girl or master." ”
Yiyi nodded, Gu Qingyan paid Yiyi the money for the knot, Su Tanxue didn't buy it, so the few people changed places.
Walking on the road, Gu Qingyan suddenly became a little curious, and asked Yiyi: "Yiyi, did your master say what you asked us to do?" ”
Yiyi shook her head, Zong Yue really hadn't told her, and she didn't think to ask, now that they are called Gu Qingyan, they still follow someone else's name, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
Gu Qingyan thought about it, it seemed that none of them had ever cared about the title, just like a few of their brothers and sisters, they all called Qianhuayu Master, at most, in addition to their own master, plus the number of rankings in front.
Passing by a person selling bean noodles, Gu Qingyan bought a piece of it, the glutinous rice dumplings are soft and glutinous, they are freshly beaten today, the bean noodles are fragrant, and they are also freshly ground and fried today, Yiyi and Su Tanxue have never eaten them before, and this bite is like discovering a new world.
The three of them were eating and strolling, but Gu Qingyan didn't care about the annoying thing for a while, there was a stall in front of them with several girls, chattering about something good-looking or not, which attracted Su Tanxue's attention.
Driven by curiosity, she also wanted to go over and have a look, Gu Qingyan asked not to leave her side, for fear that too many people would disperse, so she followed Su Tanxue and Yiyi closely.
It turned out to be a shop that sold rouge gouache, saying that it was a new lipstick and incense powder, and those girls were trying it, girls, it was common to see these things and not be able to walk.
Even Gu Qingyan couldn't help but be interested, took a few from the boss and said it was the latest lipstick, and tried it on his hand, the color was good-looking and moist, Gu Qingyan asked Su Tanxue to give it a try, Su Tanxue smiled: "I thought you didn't have anything to be interested in." ”
Gu Qingyan snorted lightly, she is also a girl, if she hadn't felt a threat around her, she would have let go of playing. As soon as I thought of this, I lost a little interest in my heart, and I don't know if Lao Yi conveyed it to Xu Shaolin.
Not far away, the man was already in the crowd wearing a wolf-shaped mask, Gu Qingyan's feelings were too sensitive, he had to do some disguise, and...
"Lord, man, has been dealt with." Just now his men went back and forth.
He sneered: "If it's really not your own person, it's waste." ”
Listening to his words, the expression under the man's mask changed rapidly, and he thought, Ancestor, you came out of the float quietly by yourself, and you didn't have anyone by your side, and you suddenly found him last night, revealing your identity, and didn't scare him.
Tu Haoyang, the main boss of Fudi, ran to Xieyang City without warning, without anyone by his side, and found Zhao Qiyue's person who stayed in Xieyang City to pay attention to Su Tanxue's situation, and heard that Su Tanxue came to Peach Blossom Stream with Hanyan, so he came over without saying a word. Then he knew that they would be in town today, and ordered him to find someone to follow.
There was no job to recruit, so I had to hire one from outside, and it turned out to be like this.
"Okay, then it's nothing for you, step down."
Situ Haoyang had discussed with Zhao Qiyue and An Jing in the underground palace that day, although he was not irritable in his heart, but he was a little bored, so he wanted to come out for a walk, who would have thought that he would come this way on a horseback, and he didn't understand it himself, so the people below didn't understand.
After thinking about it, Gu Qingyan still didn't relax his vigilance after making a move, it seemed that he was ready to take precautions at any time, and Bao Buqi had secretly sent someone to notify the others, so if he was doing anything in the future, it didn't seem to be very good, after all, he didn't want to clash with Gu Qingyan and them head-on this time, his target was just Su Tanxue, I don't know what happened to her lead?
Thinking like this, I also felt that I couldn't delay it any longer, Gu Qingyan was by Su Tanxue's side, so it was difficult for him to start, so he had to think of a way to let Gu Qingyan leave for a while.
Here, although Gu Qingyan and the others tried rouge gouache, they didn't have much desire to buy it, but Su Tanxue saw that the hairpin on the side was good-looking, so she wanted to ask the seller.
"How do you sell this hairpin?" Su Tanxue asked.
The seller glanced at the hairpin that Su Tanxue was referring to, and said, "Girl, this hairpin is not mine." ”
"Huh?" Su Tanxue thought to herself, didn't you put it out of your family?
Seeing this, Gu Qingyan explained: "I know who sold the hairpin, I'll take you there." ”
As he spoke, he held Yiyi with one hand and pulled Su Tanxue out of the crowd with the other.
"Didn't you notice that all the way down, none of the things sold were too similar?" Gu Qingyan asked.
Yiyi shook her head, since she ate the delicious glutinous cake, Yiyi's interest moved from those small objects to the food, and Gu Qingyan bought it for her all the way.
Su Tanxue thought about it carefully, and then suddenly found that the sweet potato stall, rope knot stall, glutinous cake, and rouge gouache stall seemed to be the only one, and asked Gu Qingyan, why?
Gu Qingyan said: "Because they never rob each other of business, each family has a place that they are good at, so they just concentrate on what they are good at." ”
"But there will be one or two duplicates."
"Oh, take the hairpin you just said, Yiyi buy the knot, they also have hairpins, but their hairpins are mostly the simplest styles without patterns, because their polishing process is good, but the carving is still poor, so they sometimes sell the polished basic hairpins to the carving process."
The town itself has slowly formed a chain, and this unique way of circulation is available in almost every household, and it has become a feature.
Gu Qingyan took Su Tanxue and them into a store, which is the one with good carving design technology, the hairpin produced in the town is a wooden hairpin, strong and durable, and the carved pattern is antique, Gu Qingyan has several wooden hairpins, they are all bought here, and now this one is a tangled branch.
Gu Qingyan and the others entered the store, and Gu Qingyan whispered in Su Tanxue's ear: "You can choose, the money spent today is all the eldest brother's, you don't have to feel sorry for me." ”
He turned his head and said to Yiyi: "You are the same, I should give a gift to my nephew." ”
After speaking, Gu Qingyan asked them to walk around the store, anyway, the store is not big, Gu Qingyan is at the door to keep an eye on the people coming in and out.
The shopkeeper's wife had just sent the guests away after entertaining the guests, and turned her head to see Gu Qingyan, but she didn't notice it at first, but when she looked at the tangled branch on her head, she recognized it: "The fourth girl is here." ”
Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "I brought a friend here, you have to entertain me for me." As he spoke, Gu Qingyan pointed at Su Tanxue and Yiyi.
Wang Po patted Gu Qingyan's hand: "The four girls don't worry, make sure that the two girls are the ones who pick the center." ”
"There's a princess." Gu Qingyan said with a smile.
Wang Po winked at Gu Qingyan, said don't be polite, went to the counter, said a few words to Su Tanxue and Yiyi, and introduced the two.
Gu Qingyan found a position where he could see the overall situation, and watched silently there, everyone put on masks, which allowed them to hide but also made the people behind them hidden, Gu Qingyan was a little more difficult to identify.
And Xu Shaolin, after receiving Lao Yi's notice, asked Bailimo to go out of the patriarch's house to find Gu Qingyan and them, and Han Yan also went with Bailimo because he was worried.
"Girl." When Baili Mo passed by the jewelry store, he recognized Gu Qingyan and walked to Gu Qingyan's side.
"Third brother, Han Yan." Gu Qingyan got up, "Third brother, how did you recognize me?" ”
Baili Mo smiled: "Intuitive." ”
"Oh."
"What about the two girls?"
"Mrs. Wang brought an introduction." Saying that, he took the two of them to the store to take a look, Wang Po was trying hairpins and earrings for Yiyi, and after sweeping around, the three of them didn't see Su Tanxue.
Glancing at each other, Gu Qingyan said, "Oh no! ”
Gu Qingyan hurriedly walked up to Yiyi and asked, "Where is the girl who explores the snow?" ”
Wang Po raised her eyes and looked around blankly, and said, "I was still picking hairpins here just now." ”
"Lady Wang, where is the back door?"
There was no doubt that there was him, Wang Po pointed to Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan took off the big mask on his face, returned to his original appearance, and chased him out of the back door. Baili Mo and Han Yan also looked for each other separately from the main entrance.
"You, who are you?" Su Tanxue was picking a hairpin just now, and suddenly felt that there was a force behind her that grabbed her, and she thought it was Su Tanxue, but when she turned around and found that it was not, she was about to shout, and suddenly lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he found himself lying on a bed with a man wearing a wolf mask sitting next to him. Su Tanxue sat up in fear, curled up in the corner on the side of the bed, looked at her clothes and saw that her clothes were fine, and her hands tightened the quilt, keeping a distance from the man.
I wanted to shout loudly, but suddenly I heard a voice that I hadn't heard for a long time: "It's me." ”
This is the voice in Su Tanxue's memory, the person who said to her, "There will be a period later": "It's you?" ”
Situ Haoyang chuckled, if he was not mistaken, he seemed to see the expectation and longing in Su Tanxue's eyes. Gu Qingyan also said that he should not be tempted by Su Tanxue, it seems that Gu Qingyan should tell the people around her.
This look was a good sign for Situ Haoyang, at least he knew how to take the road of controlling Su Tanxue's heart.
