Chapter 10 Gift you pearls and hairpins to celebrate your birthday
Late at night, inside Dali Temple.
Shen Xingwen pushed open the door of Pei Tan's half-hidden study, his eyes slowly fell on the pile of cases on the table, hooked his lips and smiled, and ordered: "Move all the case files on the adult's desk to my room." ”
The official behind him was startled, and hesitated worriedly: "This, this is not good...... What if the adults are back? ”
Unauthorized use of the case files on Pei Tan's desk, they don't have the guts.
Shen Shaoqing looked at the official with fresh and refined white eyes again, faint and cold, and the official dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, lowered his head, moved his steps and walked over and began to clean up the case file.
Shen Xingwen watched the servants clean up, smiled leisurely, come back? The beauty of this good day, the moonlight is beautiful, and the prosperity of Chang'an's night market is probably rare in the world, how can it be done in one or two hours.
The so-called, Shen Shaoqing read the case file at night.
Master Pei took the moonlit night tour of the long street. ……
Jing Wan'er felt the flow of people around her, as if she was in another world, squeezing around in the crowd.
She felt what thousands of lights were, and the night was not dark at all, and it was illuminated transparently.
If it weren't for Pei Tan beside her, she was afraid that she would really not be able to distinguish the direction.
No wonder Pei Tan is going to lead Jing Wan'er, there are shoulder to shoulder around here, and all kinds of people are rampage, and if you are not careful, you are afraid that you will be washed away.
Pei Tan took her until he turned a street corner.
In front of me, I suddenly felt enlightened.
An open market appeared in front of me. And the crowds of people are scattered in all directions. Finally, it's no longer so person-to-person.
Jing Wan'er was a little sweaty, "My lord." ”
Pei Tan let go of Jing Wan'er's hand. Turning to look at her.
Jing Wan'er suddenly felt something, and after being stunned, she hid the emotion in her eyes, and looked down to see her messy clothes.
The crowding and pushing just now showed a bit of embarrassment. Even the sideburns on his head were scattered a few locks.
Jing Wan'er hurriedly patted her clothes with her hand and tidied them up.
Taking advantage of her lowering her head, Pei Tan looked at her, stretched out his hand, and held the wooden hairpin in Jing Wan'er's hair.
I saw that he helped Jing Wan'er and tied up her scattered hair again.
Jing Wan'er's fingers stiffened slightly as she lowered her head to sort out her clothes.
Ban Yu said softly, "Thank you, sir." ”
Pei Tan's eyes were like stars in the night, deep and far-reaching, and he said to Jing Wan'er: "Don't call me an adult. ”
There was a lot of noise around, but fortunately, Jing Wan'er's call was drowned out in the crowd.
Jing Wan'er came back to her senses in a flash, her mind was racing, her mouth moved, and she was already "Childe." ”
In such a place, in such a crowded public place, it is natural that Pei Tan's identity cannot be broken so easily.
There must always be the necessary caution.
Pei Tan asked her softly, "Are you hungry?" ”
Jing Wan'er actually subconsciously covered her stomach, they came out without dinner, and squeezed in the crowd for a while, of course, with an empty stomach.
Pei Tan seemed to bow his head before turning around and saying, "Let's go." ”
Chang'an's night market is spread across eight streets, each of which is bustling with activity, so the flow of people is separated, prosperous and orderly.
This is Chang'an, which Jing Wan'er has never seen, the divine capital that everyone in the world has always visited.
In the sky, there are Kong Ming lanterns.
Pei Tan walked forward with Jing Wan'er, and the vendors along the street began to sell.
Sure enough, everything is sold. I can already smell the enticing aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafting in the wafting waves.
"Sweet potato! Sweet potato! Childe, do you want a sweet potato? The hawker's sparkling gaze was fixed on the figure walking in front of the stall.
Pei Tan stopped in front of the stall. "Two of them."
"Okay, wait a minute!" The peddler quickly picked up the tongs, took out two sweet potatoes from the oven, put them on the oiled paper bag, and handed them to Pei Tan, "Guest officer, two taels of silver." ”
Pei Tan took out the silver from his waist and handed it over.
Pei Tan handed one of the sweet potatoes to Jing Wan'er.
Jing Wan'er held the hot sweet potato, and her heart was also warm, "Thank you, son." ”
Jing Wan'er raised her fingers to peel off the skin of the sweet potato little by little, and was about to eat it, when she saw Pei Tan staring at the oil paper bag, but she didn't move.
Jing Wan'er suddenly understood.
I don't know Master Pei...... Do you usually have a chance to eat sweet potatoes with skins?
Jing Wan'er handed over the peeled sweet potato in her hand and smiled: "Childe eat me this." ”
Pei Tan turned his face and saw her smiling face.
Pei Tan shook under this smile for a while, paused, or took it slowly, and slowly, handed over the sweet potato in his hand.
Jing Wan'er really caught it.
In this way, Jing Wan'er removed the skin after dividing it by two, put it to her mouth and took a bite. Sweet and soft, sweet potatoes are indeed one of the most delicious foods.
Pei Tan also took a bite at this time, but he chewed it in small bites and swallowed it slowly.
Jing Wan'er couldn't help but say, "Son, you have to eat sweet potatoes...... It's a taste. "If he eats like that, how long will he eat?
Pei Tan looked at the sweet potato bigger than his palm, and obviously couldn't eat it.
Jing Wan'er couldn't help it, so she took a big bite of it, and the satisfaction filled her taste buds, and she couldn't help but giggle at Pei Tan a few times.
Pei Tan looked at the sweet potato puree sticking to the corner of her mouth, and if she took a big gulp, this would be the end.
But looking at her smile, Pei Tan suddenly didn't know what to say.
He lifted the sweet potato and took a bite.
Jing Wan'er was stunned for a moment, staring at Pei Tan, and suddenly pointed at the corners of his mouth and laughed: "Childe, your mouth is ahahaha......" So she couldn't see the corners of her own mouth, but stared at the corners of other people's mouths and giggled.
Pei Tan couldn't help but curl his lips, took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, and carefully wiped the corners of his mouth for Jing Wan'er.
Jing Wan'er's laughter stopped abruptly, and she stood still and couldn't move.
Pei Tan wiped it clean and took back the handkerchief, "Okay." ”
Jing Wan'er's eyes were fixed on Pei Tan's face, Pei Tan looked at her deeply, but turned around and walked forward, "Let's go." ”
Jing Wan'er was stunned for a while, pursed her thin lips with a slight tremble, and immediately stepped on his feet.
Prosperous as prosperous, Pei Tan led Wan'er through countless markets, as if the most fireworks, the most ordinary kind of world. But this kind of thing has never been experienced by Jing Wan'er and Pei Tan.
"Rouge! Rouge! Freshly arrived rouge gouache! ”
The peddler shouted.
"Childe! Buy hairpins? ”
The hawker looked at Pei Tan in surprise, Pei Tan stopped again, looking at the stall, the dazzling array of beads and hairpins, his eyes couldn't help but ...... Landed on a pigeon's blood-colored hairpin.
The hawker's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly held it with both hands: "Childe, do you want this, ouch, this is the best, do you take a look at this color?" ”
Pei Tan had already taken the long hairpin and turned his face to look at Jing Wan'er.
Jing Wan'er is too plain, and the only zanzi in her hair is still wooden, and it is even old and faded.
This pigeon's blood-colored hairpin, such a color, is just worthy of Jing Wan'er's legitimacy.
Jing Wan'er watched Pei Tan pick up the hairpin, and she was already uncomfortable, especially when Pei Tan put the hairpin on the edge of her hair, as if she was looking good at it.
The answer, of course, is good-looking.
Such a color really flatters her.
Pei Tan turned to the peddler: "I want this one." How much? ”
It's really magnanimous, and the peddler is full of smiles: "Ten taels of silver." ”
Jing Wan'er finally held back her uneasiness at this time and stopped her: "Childe, you really don't have to buy things for Wan'er...... "How can she have that qualification?"
Pei Tan held the hairpin and paused, as if he realized something, and looked at Jing Wan'er: "Don't you like it?" ”
He really should have consulted Jing Wan'er.
Jing Wan'er was dumbfounded by the question, and the vendor boasted beside her: "Of course the girl likes it, look, she can't speak." ”
Jing Wan'er: "......"
Pei Tan took a silver ingot from his waist again and handed it over, and the vendor happily accepted it.
Pei Tan held the long hairpin, turned to look at Jing Wan'er, and handed the long hairpin over: "I know, your birthday has just passed. This hairpin should be ...... Congratulations on your birthday. ”
Pei Tan's voice was light and warm, and as soon as she said her birthday, Jing Wan'er seemed to be poked violently, and she looked at Pei Tan with a pale face.
Jing Wan'er's birthday passed about two months ago, but she was still on her way to Chang'an at that time.
How could Pei Tan know about her birthday?
However, after Jing was pardoned, his household registration was restored, and all the files were returned to Zongzheng Temple. As long as Pei Tan calls up Jing Wan'er's household registration file, he can naturally understand this, but why does Pei Tan want to ...... Specifically to look these up?
After a long time, the hawker stared at the backs of Pei Tan and Jing Wan'er leaving side by side, this look was two people who admired each other, but it seemed that a layer of window paper was deliberately covered in the middle......
If you really want to visit Chang'an Eighth Street, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it until dawn, but this is the charm of Chang'an Night Market, so that you will not forget to return no matter what.
There were several pairs of eyes, which paused like scorpions when they swept over Pei Tan and Jing Wan'er's faces.
"Well, isn't that the 'plague god'?" A ghostly question rang out.
The people in the crowd stared at Pei Tan and Jing Wan'er's figures, and their eyes flashed with viciousness. "Is it Pei Tan? He actually brought a woman out? ”
Someone found something cunningly: "Pei Tan that guard, it seems that he is not around?" ”
"Be careful, he might be hiding around." After all, it's highly likely.
One person smiled grimly: "Impossible, I followed them from the last street, and I have already followed them all the way, only Pei Tan and this woman." ”
If they were really ambushing around, they would have found out.
These people actually glanced at each other in unison.
What does this mean, does it mean that Pei Tan is alone?
Usually, it is difficult for Pei Tan to enter with dripping water around him, Dali Temple is heavily guarded, and the guards raised by Pei's family are so strong that they are perverted, so they can't get close to Pei Tan at all.
"That woman is what Master Li wanted." It was the leader who spoke. There was a greedy glint in his eyes. "If we take this woman away...... Will Master Lee reward us? ”
Several other people have different expressions, some are jealous, and some are obviously excited.
In fact, they are all hired killers who take orders on the road, and they have done a lot of things for the Li family.
"But I think I've heard...... Pei Tan will martial arts? "Some people hesitate, even if there is no guard by his side, Pei Tan is not easy to deal with, right?
The leader stared at Pei Tan's back: "He is a weak son, looking at him like that, even if he knows a little martial arts, at most he is a showman, can't our brother lick blood with a knife and still deal with him?" ”
They never believed that there were really people in the family who could do martial arts.
"What's more, there are so many people on the street today, and when it is a good time for God to do it, as long as we retreat quickly after doing it, no one will know that it was our hand."
It's hard to miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
The man was still worried: "But what if it ......"
The leader's eyes flashed: "If you are afraid of the front and the back, you will stay and don't have to do it." ”
The man's face turned white, and he didn't dare to squeak anymore. Leaving without doing anything is equivalent to a dead body.
