Chapter 31: What a Bad Chance Encounter
"Miss, let's go shopping." The young lady's business was finally over, and Kaneko couldn't help but propose.
It's hard to come out, don't waste all your time in this bookstore, I don't know when the next time I come out.
Xiao Jinzi didn't know at the moment that she would run out more and more times in the future.
Li Tingyu nodded, feeling that it was a pity not to go shopping once.
So I made an appointment with the shopkeeper and came back to get the agreement.
The two walked out of the bookstore and strolled the streets. I bought sugar gourds to buy fried chestnuts, and I also bought wood-carved hairpins for the maids in Pinglan Garden.
If it weren't for the fact that there was too little money in his purse, Li Tingyu would have been eager to visit the shops on the entire street.
Li Tingyu and Jin Zimei sat on a stall eating wontons.
Lu Ce and Zhong Shaoqing hooked their shoulders into the wonton stall, and Zhong Shaoqing carried a small cage in his hand, in which a mighty big cricket was held.
"Ah, let me tell you, this wonton is really amazing, super delicious." Zhong Shaoqing put down the cage and beckoned the boss to serve two bowls of wontons. While waiting, he frantically praised this wonton to Lu Ce.
"If you win, you actually invited me to eat a ravioli." Lu Ce looked at his friend with disgust.
"Don't worry, if you win that little bastard in the Liushan County Mansion tomorrow, I will definitely invite you to Guangju Building for a big meal." Zhong Shaoqing patted his chest and promised.
"Okay, what is that cricket of his. We're going to win, right? After saying that, he teased the big cricket in the cage.
This cricket was as fast as lightning when it attacked, so Lu Ce gave it such a name.
The more Li Tingyu listened, the more familiar the voice next to him became, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Lu Ce.
Li Tingyu was puzzled, shouldn't this kind of boy go to the restaurant to eat, how could he come to such a roadside stall.
"Here comes the ravioli." The proprietress smiled and brought two bowls of wontons, and the two of them turned their eyes away from the crickets.
"Hey, Ace, did you say that little girl was peeking at me?" Zhong Shaoqing turned his head and collided with Li Tingyu's gaze.
"You think too much, aren't everyone else looking at me when we go out together?" Lu Ce replied lazily, picked up a wonton and tasted it.
Hey, that's smelly. Shaoqing is finally reliable. This wonton is delicious, and I will bring my daughter-in-law to taste it in the future.
Li Tingyu was speechless, it turned out that Lu Ce was like this outside.
"Really, really, believe it or not." Zhong Shaoqing hit Lu Ce with his arm, almost knocking over his wontons.
Lu Ce looked up impatiently.
Hey, it's really an acquaintance?
Lu Ce looked up and down and confirmed that the person on the left was someone he didn't know. But he knew the little maid in the Li Mansion on the right, and she asked him for help a few days ago.
"Why are you here?" Lu Ce looked at him in surprise.
Isn't it, Lu Ce, a straight man, actually recognized her? Could it be that her makeup skills have regressed?
Li Tingyu looked at the eyes around him, not wanting to be exposed in public, so he stood up and reached out to pull Lu Ce's sleeve and tried to pull him aside.
Who knew that as soon as Lu Ce waved her hand, she felt a cool breeze rushing in, and she was pushed backwards by this force.
Li Tingyu: ???
It's painful for her to death, what does Lu Ce want to do with this dog.
Jin Zi was startled and hurriedly helped his young lady up.
"Who told you to touch me." Lu Ce was full of disgust, he hated these women who threw himself into his arms the most.
After waiting for the dowry, he must tell his future daughter-in-law that he must not bring such a scheming woman to marry to the general's mansion.
"You know?" The man who followed Lu Ce looked excited, and the word "watching the play" was written in capital on his face.
"Zhong Shaoqing, shut up." Lu Ce replied to him angrily.
"Who is this? Why don't you take good care of your young lady at home and run out to do something? Lu Ce asked again impatiently.
Now Jin Zi and Li Tingyu both understood, and the person Lu Ce asked was Jinzi.
He had seen gold twice, but he couldn't recognize Li Tingyu with makeup at all.
Jin Zi looked at the more and more curious eyes around her, she really couldn't bear it, for fear of bumping into the other subordinates who came out of the Li Mansion.
"Little general, take a step to speak."
Lu Ce didn't care, everywhere he went, he was the eyes of the crowd, and he had long been used to others staring at him.
But since the little girl has spoken, he still gives her a little face, after all, she is the eldest girl of her daughter-in-law.
"Eh, wait for me." Zhong Shaoqing wanted to follow the excitement, but the wontons in his mouth hadn't been swallowed yet, so he had no choice but to give up.
Well, I don't go to the theater anymore, but the wontons are still delicious.
What's more, if he watched something he shouldn't see, Ah Ce would definitely never take him to play again in the future.
Ten meters ahead of the wonton stall, turn left and there is a remote alley, and only pedestrians in three or three will turn their heads to look.
Lu Ce stopped here, and Jin Zi and Li Tingyu also stopped.
"My young lady is here." Jin Zi felt that his mouth would not be clear for a while, so he simply showed his own young lady directly.
Lu Ce: ???
Li Tingyu: "Hehehe." ”
So did he push his fiancée to the ground just now?
Wait, did Li Tingyu still hear what Zhong Shaoqing said.
Lu Ce suddenly felt a chill on his back.
This chance encounter was just too bad.
The conscience of heaven and earth, he hasn't been out for several days, and today it was purely Shaoqing who pulled him and didn't let go.
He didn't worry about his lightning going out alone, so he followed.
It's definitely not that he wants to fight crickets!
"Hug, I'm sorry." When Lu Ce heard that Li Tingyu was also there, he immediately stammered nervously.
Li Tingyu didn't say anything, Lu Ce was worried that she would be angry, and explained awkwardly: "I didn't know it was you, I thought it was another little girl." ”
"What if you know it's me?"
A sentence stopped Lu Ce, although what he thought in his heart was that he could do whatever he wanted. But he couldn't say it.
Lu Ce simply changed the subject: "How are your injuries doing?" ”
"Much better, thank you for the medicine." Li Tingyu no longer teased Lu Ce with a bad taste, and thanked him sincerely.
If it weren't for Lu Ce, she would have died a long time ago.
"That'...... Do you like the jade pendant left for you? Lu Ce asked cautiously.
Looking at Lu Ce's expectant gaze, Li Tingyu felt that if he said that he didn't like it, Lu Ce would burst into tears on the spot.
"You like everything you give." Li Tingyu looked at Lu Ce with a smile.
That jade pendant is very valuable at a glance, if she is down-and-out one day, she can exchange a lot of money for her to survive, of course she likes it.
Li Tingyu's words made Lu Ce relax, and the roots of his ears burned red.
This eldest lady of the Li family is really ...... As always, unrestrained.
Jin Zi couldn't bear to look at it directly, why did she feel that her young lady and the little general had fallen one by one.
The little general is like the reserved lady, and the young lady is like the flamboyant gentleman.
"Do you have any special favorites?"
Lu Ce just wanted to send all the good things to her in one go.
"I like you so much."
Li Tingyu's smiling face was like the sun, illuminating every corner of his heart.
