038 Shopping
In the most luxurious room in the Skylark Tower, Chu Qianlan lazily nestled on his favorite soft couch in his usual boneless posture, and raised his glass to the young man opposite, "What are you doing in such a hurry to find this king out?" ”
The young man's handsome and outstanding face was full of melancholy, his eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Someone has come out of the valley." ”
Chu Qianlan smiled slightly, "Found you?" ”
The knuckles of the young man holding the wine glass were faintly white, his thin lips were pursed, and his eyebrows jumped when he heard the words, "I didn't confront the visitor, but I left this in my room." ”
As he spoke, he took something out of his bosom and placed it on the table.
Chu Qianlan squinted, but saw that it was a pearl-inlaid jasper gold hairpin used by a woman, it seemed to be a few years old, and the gold looked a little dim. He sighed: "It's interesting, she actually came out of the valley herself."
"Uncle Shi is here in person!" Seeing that Chu Qianlan was not in a hurry at all, the young man was anxious, "You don't know her yet, but whenever she makes a move, there is no time to fail." This time she came in person, I, I'm dead. ”
said and muttered, "Obviously, this hairpin was given to her by you back then, but what does it mean that she put it in my house?" ”
"If she really wants to kill you, it won't be this golden hairpin left in your house. Don't worry, our good uncle won't kill you. Chu Qianlan just didn't hear his muttering, and said with no sincerity, "I didn't sleep last night, hurry up and go back to make up for sleep." ”
Hearing that he was driving people, the young man couldn't stay any longer, "Senior brother, you must be careful." Uncle Shi can easily enter my mansion, and he will definitely go to the palace to find you. It's really strange, there hasn't been movement for several years, and I still think that the people in the valley have long forgotten about us, but I didn't expect ......"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh heavily, and walked out with a heavy face.
The wine glass between Chu Qianlan's fingers turned quickly, and she stopped for a while, and not a drop of wine in the cup spilled out. "Ruyi."
Ruyi appeared in the shadows like a ghost, waiting for Chu Qianlan's orders.
"You say, if this king kills him......" Chu Qianlan looked in the direction of the door, and the essence of Dasheng was wrapped in a murderous aura in her eyes.
Ruyi said calmly: "Tang Shizi is not only the prince of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, but also the queen's mother's family. If you move him, you will alarm the palace. Then the secret of the year may be known. ”
Chu Qianlan sighed, of course he also knew that Tang Pinmao couldn't move easily, otherwise he would have killed him countless times in the past few years.
"The king fears that it will be a curse to keep him, and maybe one day, he will tell the secret." Chu Qianlan touched her knuckles, and the murderous aura in her eyes increased instead of decreasing: "What's more, the people in the valley have already found him, look at his virtuous appearance when he is scared...... It is interesting enough for this king to tolerate him living with that secret until now. ”
"The prince can't trust him?"
"No one can trust this king." Chu Qianlan said lightly, obviously she didn't move, but the cup in her hand suddenly burst open, and the fragments of liquor turned into the sharpest weapon, shooting in all directions of the room, and Chu Qianlan's words became more and more cold and sharp: "Only the dead will not tell the secret of this king." ”
"Yes, the minion will send a message to wish Eleven immediately." Ruyi understood the master's decision and knew that Tang Shizi had to die.
"Let him do it neatly, don't ask this king to wipe his ass at the end." Chu Qianlan nestled back on the soft couch and commanded lazily.
"Yes." If you do what you want, you will go down and deliver the order.
"How's the house going?" Chu Qianlan spoke again.
"The princess is sick and can't come out."
"Sick?" Chu Qianlan pulled the corners of her lips and sneered, "That's all she can do?" ”
Ruyi added: "The princess claimed to be sick to the outside world, and she pretended to be a maid and took the right cards and left the house." ”
Chu Qianlan's pleasant smile froze on her lips, "It's not a small amount of courage, where did she go?" ”
……
Ruotang, who slipped out of the palace smoothly, didn't know where to go to kill time, she stood on the street with people coming and going, and took a deep breath, with a big smile on the corner of her mouth.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, teahouses, restaurants, pawnshops, workshops...... The spring afternoon sunshine, the brilliant and warm sprinkled between the green tiles and red walls, the beautiful cornices, the fluttering shop flags, the sparkling and moving carriages, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the tranquil and comfortable smiling faces, all show the self-satisfaction of the people of Dachu in the prosperous era.
Even if there are so many unsatisfactory times, seeing such a peaceful and prosperous world, Ruotang said that she is in a really good mood.
Leaving all the mess in the palace behind, she plans to take a half-day trip to the ancient streets.
Shopping is a woman's natural favorite career, but after a while, she swept a bunch of goods in large bags, hot vegetarian cakes just out of the cage, yellow loquat just picked from the tree, and cheap headbands and handkerchiefs on the shelves of the merchant......
Anyway, where is there any excitement, sharpening scissors and grabbing kitchen knives, selling art and medicine, selling meat, and selling oil...... Even in front of the fortune-telling booth, she stood with great interest for a long time.
In the teahouse not far away, behind an open window on the second floor, Chu Qianlan poked her head out and glanced out, and couldn't help but ask Ruyi, "Is she stupid?" ”
Inexplicably stood in front of the fortune-telling booth and smirked for a long time, the fortune teller was not her, what was she happy about?
Ruyi gave an honest answer, "It doesn't look like it." ”
Chu Qianlan raised her eyes to look at the sun that was about to set, "When will she realize that it is almost dark?" ”
Then he said incredulously: "Won't she be tired?" ”
She didn't stop at all for an afternoon, looking here and playing, just like a hillbilly who had never seen the world, he was shocked for her. And after playing crazy for a long time, I still look very energetic. Chu Qianlan, who had been with her for most of the day, was puzzled, was really not tired of looking at a small body that was about to be blown down by the wind?
Of course Ruotang didn't know, secretly there was a pair of incredible eyes that followed her all the time. At this time, she also realized that it was not too early to go back, and was about to turn around, when she saw a mother-in-law selling small milk dogs on the side of the road.
Three white fluffy and chubby little milk dogs were crammed into the basket, and from time to time there was a milky "Wang" sound, Ruotang saw it, and shouted "so cute" and pounced.
Hugging this, hugging that, and finally simply holding the three little milk dogs in his arms, kissing this and kissing that busy.
"Girl, do you want to buy this dog?" The mother-in-law was naturally very happy to see that she couldn't put it down.
"I ......" before I said it, I was discouraged. She slipped out as a little maid, and it was impossible for the porter to let her in with three puppies in her arms. And even if she succeeds in smuggling the puppies back, where and how to raise them, the shabby place in the palace, she and Cai Qing are unable to protect themselves, in case you can't see these three dogs well, it will be too pitiful if they are killed and disabled again.
She sighed and reluctantly put the puppies back in the basket, "I can't buy it." ”
Then get up and leave.
"Girl, you bought them." The mother-in-law called her and said with a look of unbearability: "Just give me a few children." If they can't sell it, they will have to fall to death when they go back, and where will there be surplus food for poor families like us to feed them? ”
Ruotang couldn't bear to hear it, but she couldn't be fully responsible for the life of these three puppies, in case she couldn't take care of them, it would be no different from the executioner who killed them.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure passing by, Ruotang came back to his senses, and his hand had firmly grasped the sleeve of the man's shirt.
Lu Zhengqing looked down at his sleeve that was pulled, and his eyes paused on the hand that pulled the sleeve, huh? This hand is a little familiar!
"Doctor Lu." Ruotang bent his eyes happily, "What a coincidence, I met you here." ”
"I just went to the patient's house." Even the sound is familiar.
Lu Zhengqing was stunned and moved his gaze to Ruotang's face, and saw that the girl in front of him had a slightly upturned face, exquisite and clear, clear eyes, small pink lips, and two looming pear vortices at the corners of her mouth when she smiled, which were cute and playful.
His face turned red, he took a step back, snatched back his sleeve, and stammered, "Auntie, girl, I don't recognize you below." ”
Ruotang realized that he had done something "amazing", looking at the red face of the young man in front of him who was unintentionally "light", as if he had been thrown into the pot and boiled through the prawns, Ruotang felt a little guilty, "That, I am also a patient of Dr. Lu." It's great to meet you here, I bought three puppies, it's inconvenient to take them back to raise, can I foster them in your home? Don't worry, I'm solely responsible for what you should eat, okay? ”
Lu Zhengqing's handsome brows furrowed slightly, "Dog? ”
He had never had one, and he didn't like these hairy animals.
Ruotang naturally saw that he was unwilling, but he finally met an "acquaintance", and she would die if she didn't buy the puppies, although this world does not advocate the equality of all beings, but it is also a life, and sometimes, people are not as affectionate and righteous as animals. She didn't touch it, even if she did, she had to think of a way to do her best. "You should pity them, if you don't buy them, my mother-in-law said that they will all be thrown to death, so pitiful, please!"
She folded her hands and said pitifully.
"But, but, why should I help you, I don't know you." Lu Zhengqing blushed and didn't dare to look at her shining eyes, struggling to refuse ruthlessly.
If you don't look at her, you can only say if you refuse.
Otherwise, he couldn't really say "no" when he was looked at by her big black eyes.
He was obviously a very principled person, and he was very proud of it. But now, he could barely remember what principles were.
"You are a doctor, saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and saving a dog's life is the same." Ruotang said in a righteous manner, "You see that you saved three lives at once, that is the twenty-first level of the floating slaughter, and there will be a reward in the future." So that's a happy decision? Wow, Dr. Lu, you are such a good person, you are really a good person, I thank you on behalf of the dogs! ”
