Chapter 61: Selling favors
When Wei Jing was out of the city, Wei Rong didn't plan to hide it from Sima Jingling.
First, because he felt that the identities of Sima Jingling and their few people were not simple, and following Sima Jingling and befriending them would definitely have unexpected gains. This is also the reason why even if Sima Jingling taught him a lesson at the Yumen Inn, he didn't hold any grudges in his heart;
This is because Wei Rong feels that even if he doesn't tell Sima Jingling, Sima Jingling and a few of them will know, so it is better to use this to sell a favor.
So on the first day after Sima Jingling and they rested at Wei Rong's house, at breakfast time, they heard such a big news that Wei Jing was out of the city, and it was not small to say that it was not small.
Sima Jingling's attitude towards Wei Rong has always been calm, even when Wei Rong has not informed her of his identity, Sima Jingling has never given Wei Rong any special treatment.
So when Wei Rong told them the news, Sima Jingling just hummed casually, thinking that she knew about it, and she wouldn't ask why Wei Rong's action was.
Ah Pu was full of hostility towards Wei Rong at first, but after following Sima Jingling for a long time, and now that he knows Wei Rong's identity, he began to be like Sima Jingling, and he didn't care about Wei Rong himself.
And the remaining Qiulan, Night Owl, and Night Sparrow are the norm to be defensive of others, so it has nothing to do with whether they can let down their guard against Wei Rong.
Wei Rong didn't get a response from Sima Jingling, although he expected it, but he was still a little disappointed in his heart.
He sighed in his heart, feeling that he had a long way to go to get close to Sima Jingling's task.
But he was discouraged by this incident, not once or twice. If he could really just ignore it and leave, then there would be no Sima Jingling and a few of them in front of him now.
So he took a deep breath and told himself to be normal, normal. Then he smiled and said to Sima Jingling:
"The girl came from afar, she must have not visited our capital city well, why don't you lead the girl to go shopping?"
Sima Jingling took a sip of the porridge specially prepared for their Southern Imperial People, and said lightly:
"Acting so boldly for the sake of work, isn't there a way to get rid of the pursuit behind you, or has you already got rid of the people who are staring at you?"
Wei Rong's smile suddenly froze a little, and then he complained helplessly:
"The girl's words really know how to pierce into the most vulnerable places of people. But fortunately, I have long been used to it, and the girl's guess is not wrong, and there are indeed people who have gotten rid of me who are staring at me in this Bei Proud Country.
Otherwise, how could Wei Jing get out of this city with confidence? ”
Wei Rong's words sounded like he was full of sadness and helplessness, and he tasted sour and bitter, but if he felt it carefully, the show off and pride in his words would soon jump out.
Sima Jingling drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, elegantly picked up the handkerchief placed on the side and wiped her mouth, then nodded slowly and said to Wei Rong:
"I'm tired."
"Huh?" Wei Rong heard Sima Jingling's words, and he was still a little incredulous. may be because she was rejected by Sima Jingling too many times, and suddenly she heard a positive answer from her, and she couldn't accept it psychologically.
But joy should still be happy.
Wei Rong's face showed a happy smile, and he immediately ordered him to get ready to go out.
After a while, the subordinates prepared a few bags of silver taels and two carriages to send Wei Rong and Sima Jingling out.
At this time, it is the time when the street vendors open their doors to welcome customers.
The carriage did not march into the street, but stopped when it reached the mouth of the alley.
Wei Rong jumped out of the carriage first, walked to the carriage that Sima Jingling was riding in the back, and personally helped Sima Jingling down from the carriage.
But before he could stretch out his hand, Qiulan, who was sitting outside the carriage, got out of the carriage directly, squeezed him aside, and then lifted the curtain of Sima Jingling's carriage.
Seeing that the carriage stopped, Ah Pu motioned to Sima Jingling to wait for a while, then nodded to Qiu Lan, got out of the carriage first, and then waited with Qiu Lan beside him, and helped Sima Jingling down from the carriage.
Seeing this, Wei Rong shrugged his shoulders and stood obediently to the side, not approaching Sima Jingling.
After Sima Jingling got out of the carriage, Wei Rong stepped forward slightly, but he didn't dare to get too close to Sima Jingling.
"Girl, shall we go?"
Sima Jingling nodded, then stretched out her hand to hold Apu, and showed her intimacy with Apu, just like a newlywed Yan'er couple, frequently letting passers-by on the road cast all kinds of understanding, kind, and curious glances at them.
Sima Jingling and Ah Pu have not been watched, so both of them are calm under this gaze, as if they don't feel the attention of the people around them.
But Wei Rong didn't think so.
Although he also enjoys the feeling of being watched by thousands of people, his habit of hiding for many years still makes him feel uncomfortable under this kind of gaze.
He silently took a few steps back, shortened the distance between him and Sima Jingling, and whispered to Sima Jingling: "I know that you and this lover of yours are in love, girl, and you are in love with each other, but can you be more restrained here?" Although my Beiao people are strong, the two of them are really too good, and they are very affectionate on the street, which is really eye-catching.
Isn't the girl's trip to the north to be low-key? ”
Sima Jingling's eyes widened when she heard this, as if she was surprised by what Wei Rong said.
Ah Pu laughed beside him, and explained two sentences for Wei Rong "kindly",
"It's natural for us to act like this, who would guess from such a flamboyant couple of newlyweds that this couple came to the capital city with a different purpose?
Besides, when a young couple comes to the city for a walk, it is natural to do everything for daily shopping, and everything they do is reasonable, but if it is too hidden, it is easy to arouse unnecessary suspicion.
Wei Gongzi, do you say that's the case? ”
Wei Rong was dumbfounded.
He originally felt that this was wrong everywhere, but after Ah Pu said this, Wei Rong felt that it made some sense.
Even if it didn't make sense, Wei Rong knew that he would probably never be able to refute it.
He lowered his head and silently praised Sima Jingling for being thoughtful, and then fell silent a little, as if he had been hit hard.
However, Wei Rong quickly perked up, and enthusiastically introduced the shops around this street to Sima Jingling and the others, and what they were doing.
Sima Jingling nodded as she listened, and when Wei Rong's mouth was dry, Sima Jingling asked, "Then there are so many shops in Beiao, why don't you see Han Li's shop?" Isn't it that they are the most powerful shops in Beiao, they can be regarded as the yellow merchants of Beiao, and they are inextricably linked with the royal family? Aren't they on this street? ”
Wei Rong stopped when he heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and his face showed an indistinguishable expression of joy and anger.
"Girl, do you want to find Han Li and catch up with them?"
