Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Wandering Man
Huiru sent someone to the house to deliver a letter saying that she would go to the tailor's shop to make clothes with her, and Tang Han readily agreed. When she left the house with Ah Lu and Xingchun, she saw a carriage parked next to her, and Huiru poked her head out from inside: "Zijin here?" ”
"Huiru, I thought you were still in the palace, but I didn't expect you to come, haven't you waited for a long time?"
"Not for a while."
"Zijin, I heard from the prince yesterday that your sister was injured in the leg, and I was startled, for fear that something would happen to you."
"I'll be fine with Xingchun. Han Wenya is my sister, I don't have a good relationship with her, she is not right-minded. ”
Huiru was stunned: "I understand the complicated relationship in the house, and I also understand."
"What kind of dress are you going to make?"
"The prince said to make something brightly colored, and he said that my clothes are too married."
"Oh, the prince is really good to you."
"What's the matter, it should be okay."
"Let's go inside."
After they entered, the shopkeeper asked the woman inside to measure Huiru, and Tang Han sat and waited. This is the largest shop, where you can choose fabrics and measure the size of clothes. After the measurement, the shopkeeper introduced the cloth to them, and after asking Huiru what color of cloth she wanted, the shopkeeper picked a few for Huiru to see.
"Zijin, which one do you think is good-looking?"
"The jujube red, the orchid one, and the pink one are all beautiful."
"Then these three things are the same, and after sitting down, send them to Duanwang's Mansion."
"Zijin, you can stay away, we can wear the same."
"Sisters?"
"Uh-huh, yes."
"The shopkeeper, I will also choose the size of the orchid, the same size as hers, and send it to the Han Mansion."
"Huiru asked Xiaocao to give the silver, and they went out."
Finally came out once, how could Huiru go back so quickly: "What other places are interesting in Zijin?" ”
"There are flower markets, bird markets, dog markets and the like, let's go hiking together next time."
"Flower Market, Bird Market, let's take a look, I haven't been there yet."
"So where do we go first? City? ”
"Okay, it just so happens that I'm bored in the house, so I can buy a bird to relieve my boredom."
"So what should I do? Am I abandoned? ”
"What do you say, I only have one good friend in the whole capital."
"I'm so honored."
"Look at the birds on both sides."
"Wow, let's hurry up and see."
As soon as they approached me, a parrot was there and called hello, hello.
"It's so fun, I'm going to buy a parrot."
"Come on, pick one for each person." The two of them bought the girl in the back and carried it, and when they were tired of shopping, they found a roadside food stall where they sat to eat and drink tea. Both of them are casual people, and they don't mind that the roadside stalls are unclean, and they are watched by people coming and going. In fact, the things made by ancient people were all handmade, and there were no additives or anything like that, all of which were good things. The roadside sells are: fried white sausage, soap cake, flour soup, steamed dumplings, righteous porridge, bean porridge, chongyang cake, spring rolls, clove wontons, fried eel noodles, shortbread, steamed cakes, lotus root, cooking cakes, three fresh noodles, bamboo shoots and meat noodles, silver silk cold pottery, tea knife cutting, almond bergamot, crispy apples, Heyi cakes, etc. There must be a lot of food in the capital, Tang Han likes spring rolls, cooking cakes, and fried eel noodles. Huiru also likes spring rolls, as well as crispy apples, almond bergamot, and three fresh noodles.
A few women sit at a roadside stall eating and passers-by do take a few looks, and they don't pay attention to what they eat in front of them. At this time, a man wearing rags and shoes, with stains on his face, came over and stood next to them: "Madame, Miss Okay, give me something to eat, I haven't eaten for a day." ”
Tang Han and Huiru looked at each other and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”
The man's eyes lit up: "As long as I can eat enough, I'm not a picky eater."
"Ah Lu, go buy a bowl of three fresh noodles, a bowl of fried eel noodles, and a few more cooking cakes for this son."
"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Madame."
"There's a table next to you, sit down and have some tea."
Ah, the food that Green bought and put it in front of the boy, he picked it up and ate it in a big gulp, it looked like he hadn't eaten for a long time. He finished the two bowls of noodles by dividing them by two, and he ate another cookcake and drank some tea.
"Madam, I have written down today's meal today, I don't know how to thank you two in the future."
"No thanks, it's a trivial matter."
"Then I'll go first."
"Wait, you take this bread and eat it on the way."
"Thank you, Madame, for your kindness."
They would not have imagined that the man with his dirty clothes and stained face was actually the prince of the South, who had been attacked on the way and had become separated from his entourage. He was penniless and could do everything, all the way to the capital, he was already hungry, he begged a lot of people, but no one paid attention to him, no one gave him food. When he saw the two of them, he just asked, but he didn't expect them to really give him food, since he had arrived in the capital, he could go directly to the place he had said before and find his entourage. His father had three sons, and he was the youngest. This time he came to Beijing because his father wanted him to come and see the prosperity of the Great Heavenly Empire and see if there was any place to study. He had already set off secretly, but he didn't expect someone to leak the news. He walked into a grocery store, and when the people inside saw him, they immediately shouted, "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you are finally here." They're all out looking for you, there's only one person here, you're hungry, I'm going to cook. ”
"I've eaten, prepare water, I'm going to bathe. Send them a signal to come back. ”
The shopkeeper closed the shop and left a signal on the wall. It was an embarrassed man who went in, and after washing it out, it was a personable man, and after changing his clothes, he immediately became a different person.
The shopkeeper knelt on the ground: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince forgives his sins, it is the villain who cannot protect His Highness." ”
"Get up. You run a shop here and you give us a lot of information. ”
"There's a knock on the door, it's supposed they're back."
The shopkeeper opened the door and sure enough, it was his entourage: "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"How are you doing, are you hurt?"
"We're just a little injured and don't get in the way, how did His Royal Highness the Prince come all the way to the capital?"
"I became a jade pendant and fled all the way to the capital, and their people didn't dare to chase them anymore when they chased them outside the city."
"Your Highness, there must be an internal response among our people this time, otherwise how would they know our whereabouts."
"You're right, I'll find out that traitor when I go back."
"How long will Your Highness stay in the capital?"
"I'm afraid they'll be ambushed on the way back."
"I'll have my father send troops to meet us then."
"This time, it is we who are protecting His Highness, and I ask His Highness to punish him."
"They have a sneak attack and a mole, what do you have to do, first heal the wounds and then make a decision."
"Yes, Your Highness should rest first after being tired all the way."
"Watch out for any suspicious people outside the door."
"We take turns guarding it, please rest assured."
"Who else knows the news of our coming to Beijing?"
"Except for our people, no one here should know."
"Then let's take a look in the capital first, experience the life of their Great Heavenly Empire, and then go to the palace to see the emperor."
"It's all up to His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
