Chapter 18 Leaving the House Together
The next day, the weather was very good, the sun was accompanied by a breeze, and the Buddha was on the cheeks, soft and very comfortable.
After Xiao Mo came back from the court, he was coaxed and deceived by Xia Manlian and taken to the main street of the city.
"Lord Wang, you have been trapped in the house for many days, and coming out to relax is conducive to your health."
Xia Man almost dragged Xiao Mo away, he didn't come out, where did he get the money to spend.
Xiao Mo had already understood her thoughts, she was using herself as a money bag, and she wanted to teach her a lesson, but it was obvious that she was happy, so she followed her.
Shuttling through the downtown area, looking at all kinds of snacks and various styles, Xia Man is very happy, take whatever he likes, anyway, someone gives money, such a fairy-like day, it is simply a great satisfaction, not long after, Xia Man has taken a lot of ornaments in his hands, and there is a layer of fine sweat on his head, panting, very embarrassed.
"Vulgar." Xiao Mo shook his head, such a street gadget can also be seen, if he knew that his Qingyu pendant could mobilize three thousand treasury, wouldn't he die on the spot.
The two happened to walk to a noodle restaurant, Xia Man wiped the sweat on his forehead, and shouted, "Little Er, come to two bowls of noodles." ”
After drinking two bowls of coarse tea on the table, Xia Man felt refreshed, and poured a bowl for Xiao Mo.
Sure enough, as a prince, such a coarse tea is not eye-catching, I saw Xiao Mo take out a silk towel and wipe the table in front of him repeatedly, it is bound to be spotless.
"Two, your noodles are ready, please use them slowly." The shopkeeper took the greasy handkerchief on his shoulder and wiped the table, then put the noodles on the table to greet the customers behind.
Xiao Mo's freshly wiped table was touched by the shopkeeper's handkerchief, and he felt that he had nowhere to start, and he didn't know whether to wipe the table or wipe the bowl for a while.
Xia Man didn't care, took the chopsticks and started eating, and after shopping for a long time, he was really hungry at this time.
"You can eat anything." Xiao Mo threw the handkerchief aside, picked a noodle with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste, it was really not delicious.
In the past, when I was in the barracks, I lived very casually, and there was no food on the battlefield, so I naturally ate well and was not picky, but when I returned to Yecheng, I didn't want to remember the bitter and sweet, and I really didn't have an appetite for such an environment.
Sure enough, it is a rich and noble prince, Rao has been marching outside for many years, has endured countless hardships, and has returned to a prosperous place, which is also to be exquisite. "It's all grains and wolves, why can't you eat it." Xia Mansan ate his noodles in two bites, stared at Xiao Mo like a hungry wolf, and said with a smile: "The prince doesn't like to eat, so it's better to give me food." ”
pushed his noodles in front of Xia Man, and wiped his hands by the way, "It's all for you." ”
Looking at Xia Man, who was eating deliciously in front of him, Xiao Mo felt that it seemed that it would not cost a few silver coins to raise her.
His eyes swept over Xia Man, Xiao Mo saw Qianying in front of him, so he paid the money, said a few words, and got up to leave.
When Qin Siya saw Xiao Mo leaving, he walked out of the alley and walked towards Xia Man.
"Little sister, meet again."
Xia Man raised his head, it turned out to be the boy brother he met before, thinking about pit him for a meal, so he laughed and said: "It turned out to be Brother Qin, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, did my little sister bring enough money today?" Qin Siya untied a purse from his waist and put it on the table, "If you don't have enough, take these." ”
Xia Man swallowed his saliva, picked up his purse and checked it, and smiled happily, "Enough, enough, thank you, big brother." ”
"Then why don't you come with me?"
Eating others with short mouths and taking others with short hands is indeed an eternal truth.
Qin Siya asked Qingfeng to take the ornaments that Xia Man bought, then took her out of the noodle shop and walked towards Nanqiao.
Xia Man secretly looked at the man next to him, only the word 'wealth' came to mind, from beginning to end, although the things used were not eye-catching, but when he saw him casually hang a blood-red jade cicada on the fan pendant, it could be seen that it was extraordinary, probably a rich man, it seems that there is hope for silver money in the future.
Seeing that her eyes were rolling, she must have some ghost idea, smiled on her lips, and said, "What are you calculating again?"
"Well, do you have any wishes or desires?" Xia Man pondered how to get a sum of money from him.
Qin Siya fiddled with his folding fan and said, "There is an important matter right now, which is really tricky. ”
"Tell me about it." Xia Man's eyes lit up, and the person in front of him also turned into a huge silver mountain, crumbling, as if it was about to go into his pocket.
"When I was young, I lived in the south of the city, and I met a woman, and now I am growing up, and the woman is also at a good age, but the flowers are intentional, and the water is ruthless." Qin Siya's eyes darkened, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
Qin Siya lived in the Southern Dynasty with his father when he was a child, because his father wanted to contact business, he was alone, and when he was young, he was a little lonely, so he quietly slipped out to play, and thus got acquainted with the little girl called Cheng Jingsi by nearby people, frolicking between children is a common thing, or because Qin Siya is too lonely, he has a kind of dependence on Xiao Jingsi, and in the long run, he has a little more affection.
Xia Man saw his demeanor, and his heart was clear, it turned out that he was worried about his feelings, but he was dignified and had a good family background, why was he so sad, so he guessed: "Could it be that she has another sweetheart?"
"You guessed right."
After Qin Siya grew up, he wanted to propose marriage to Cheng Mansion in the Southern Dynasty, who would have thought that the Cheng family had married his daughter to the son of the general who was the protector of the dynasty, and he was going to get married this month, he thought that it was the persecution of Cheng Mansion, and he could fight for it, who would have thought that Cheng Jingsi really thought of the general's son, and Qin Siya was just a childhood friendship, and there was no love between men and women.
"This matter is difficult to do, but you can give it a try, if it happens, you will give me a reward of one hundred taels, if not, it is also your fate, how about it?"
Xia Man vaguely heard Xiao Mo say that the general who protects the country has only one son, Lin Feng, so he is extremely favored, coupled with the high position and power of the old general, he has won the trust of the Guangsheng Emperor, this Lin Feng is very arrogant and domineering, in the early years, there was also a life lawsuit, or his father used his relationship to suppress it. It's just that how such a gentleman won Cheng Jingsi's heart is really puzzling.
"Then it's time for Little Sister Lao to bother." Qin Siya saw that Xia Man had looked at the jade cicada on his fan several times, so he thought that she liked it, so he immediately took off the jade cicada and handed it to Xia Man, "This thing is a deposit." ”
"Worthy of it, worthy of it." Xia Man swallowed his saliva, it's not that he doesn't want it, it's really a weak heart, they all say that ancient women were persistent in love, only for one person, and now they realize that things are a little tricky.
"Take it, if it doesn't work out, you are my little sister, so it will be a gift from your eldest brother."
The people sent out by Qin Siya to inquire found nothing, so they had to slowly approach Xia Man in order to explore the secrets on her.
Xia Man knew that it would be unkind to excuse himself, so he accepted the jade cicada, "Thank you." ”
Qin Siya smiled softly on his face, wanting to chat with Xia Man for a while, but he didn't expect Qingfeng to come over suddenly, and after saying a few words in his ear, he quit Xia Man and left in a hurry.
Now there is only Xia Man, and I feel bored, so I found a tea shop at random and sat down, listening to the chatter of people from the north and south.
After sitting for half an hour, really sleepy, Xia Man took a sip of herbal tea to suppress his sleepiness, but heard a man behind him say in a rough voice: "Have you heard?" The son of the general who protects the country is jealous of King Jing for the sake of the famous prostitute of the Qinglou, but there is a good show to watch. ”
"Shhhh
The tea guests at the same table looked around, for fear of being heard.
"Let's talk about this here, when it comes to relatives and nobles, the government has long ordered us not to talk about it, but our mouth grows on us, and it's up to us to say it or not, hahahaha."
Xia Man glanced sideways at the man who said this, dressed differently from the people around him, wearing a felt hat on a hot day, with a full beard, he was a person who was not easy to mess with, for fear of getting into trouble, so he wanted to check out and leave the tea shop, but was stopped by this man.
"Why, the girl still has a habit of listening to people?"
"This master, where do you start with this?" Xia Man pretended to be calm, but he was afraid in his heart, looking at the man in front of him who was half a body taller, he inexplicably felt a sense of fear.
"You don't leave early or late, but you don't leave until we speak, why is that?"
"I'm just hungry and want to get something to eat, and I don't pay attention to whether you're talking."
"Dare to quibble, see if I don't kill you."
Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Xia Man casually picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea into the man's eyes, and with a 'wow' sound, the man covered his eyes, scurried around the table, and scolded: "Don't clean her up for me yet." ”
After hearing this, the people at the same table realized that they wanted to clean up Xia Man, but they were shouted back by a voice: "Who dares to touch her!"
Xia Man saw that the person who came was Xiao Mo, and the unspeakable grievances in his heart, or after the fear, his eyes were full of tears, "Why have you been there for so long." ”
"Aren't you back?" Xiao Mo pulled Xia Man to his side, patted her head, and then moved his gaze to a few men on the side, and said coldly: "When did my dignified Southern Dynasty allow the Heavenly Wolf Department to be presumptuous!"
The man who was splashed with tea had already opened his eyes, but he kept blinking, "What about the Southern Dynasty, sooner or later my department will have to take half of it." ”
"I'm not ashamed, Chikage, I'll leave it to you."
Xia Man noticed that there was another person behind Xiao Mo, and he couldn't help but look at it curiously.
Qianying winked at Xia Man, then walked away with his beard, and the rest of the people knew that they had provoked a big man, so they knelt down and kept apologizing, asking Xia Man for forgiveness.
"Let's beat it up and let it go." Xia Man is not a master who can be bullied, he is already aggrieved enough by Xiao Mo's side, and he can still let a few gangsters bully.
Xiao Mo ordered his subordinates to beat up the gangsters and throw them out of the city, and they were not allowed to appear in Yecheng, which could be regarded as a sigh of relief for Xia Man.
