Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Unique Sun
I lifted the curtain, and a noise rushed over me. Please search to see the most complete! The fastest update is said to be prosperous in Yangzhou, and it is true. It's dinner time, but the street is bustling with traffic, and it's even more lively than it was during the day. The lanterns hanging from the shops on both sides shroud the entire street in the warm light of orange and yellow. During the day, the stalls selling vegetables have been packed up and taken home to enjoy their families, replaced by some craftsmen who sell rouge gouache and hairpin ring sachets. All kinds of special 'color' snacks in Yangzhou City also gather here, and the air is filled with all kinds of steaming sweet tastes.
The gluttonous worms in my stomach were seduced by the shouts on both sides of the street, especially the sound of the "plum 'flower' cake" and "jade glutinous rice dumplings" that were enthusiastically dragging long notes.
I jumped out of the car in a hurry, forgetting that I had gone out of the house today, wearing a palace satin plain snow silk dress, which almost dragged to the ground, and almost tripped over myself by the skirt. startled the coachman next to him, and muttered, "Have you saved all the footstools?" ”
I turned around and smiled mischievously, but before I could answer, Liang Ci had already reached out to lift the curtain, poked his head out, and said to the driver: "I can't save it, I'm afraid I'm injured, and I still have to use it when I get out of the car." ”
The driver was puzzled: "Wasn't it still alive when you got in the car?" How did you get hurt in the blink of an eye? Then he took a footstool and put it under the wheel, and found a stable place to stabilize it: "Does the son need the villain's support?" ”
I glared at the cold word fiercely, with what I thought was the most ferocious and threatening expression. Seeing that he obediently swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, he changed his words: "It's just a small injury, no need." ”
Then he really stepped on the footstool and got out of the car, and said to the coachman: "Miss Eleven, I will naturally send her back to the house safely, you go to pick up Lin Gongzi and my friend, remember to remind them to come back before the city 'gate' is locked, don't be greedy for a cup, otherwise be careful to be eaten alive by the girl on the thin West Lake." ”
The coachman smiled in response, and turned the carriage towards the way it came.
I ignored him, turned and walked out into the street, and when I looked around, I was greeted by sharp-eyed vendors.
Liang Ci followed up and muttered in a low voice: "I just want to see if the coachman has a hobby of listening to the wall, but anyone with bad intentions must have this habit, are you so fierce to me?" ”
"You are too cunning, every word and deed has a purpose, I better stay away from you in the future." I didn't look back, and said angrily, but the corner of my eye couldn't help but glance at him: "Save the day when you really sell me to the country of Mohan to drink goat's milk wine." ”
Liang Ci secretly pursed his lips and smiled: "No matter what my purpose is, and what I calculate, it is for your own good, you can just remember this." ”
I was a little silent, thinking that I could see that the coachman was good, and it was understandable to say a thing or two. After all, the Su Mansion is full of dangers, and the coachman is the one who follows his father before and after the saddle, so it is always good to be cautious.
In the blink of an eye, there was no trace of the cold speech, I looked around, he walked up to me with two and a half masks in his hand, and handed me a colorful butterfly-like look: "Put it on." ”
I took it suspiciously, and couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?" ”
When the words fell, there was a firm shudder on his forehead: "How can there be so many why?" I think it's really insulting for you to gobble up what you eat, and it's better to wear a mask, so no one will know you. ”
This time, his subordinates showed mercy, and it didn't hurt. I pouted and 'rubbed' my forehead, pointed to the face of another eagle with wings spread in his hand and asked, "Then what are you wearing it for?" ”
Liang Ci rolled his eyes helplessly at me and said, "Of course, I'm afraid that I'll be embarrassed with you." ”
I snorted angrily, but my eyes couldn't help but wander around the food stalls on the street, and there were urchins with all kinds of faces, laughing and running past me in groups. Thinking that there was nothing wrong with wearing it, I obediently put the mask on my face, leaving only my two eyes and chin 'exposed' outside, but I didn't delay eating.
"What do you want to eat?" Liang Ci reached out to help me sort out the ribbon behind my face, looked at me and asked funny.
I hesitated for a while, but finally I couldn't make up my mind: "I want to taste everything." ”
"Good! We ate as we walked. Liang Ci looked at me a little dotingly, which made me feel a little delusional for a moment.
In a trance, the tip of his right finger had fallen into a warm palm. Raising his head in astonishment, he smiled warmly at me: "There are too many people here, I'm afraid you will lose it." ”
He was wearing a broad-sleeved brocade robe today, with wide sleeves that covered the hands we held together, and in the dim shadow of the lamp, outsiders could not really see it if they were not staring.
The heat of his palms passed through my fingertips and into my limbs, making my face red. I kept my head down and bit my lower lip to prevent my fluttering little heart from popping out of my throat. But finally couldn't help muttering:
"I'll just say that you went to buy a Facebook mask and came back with premeditation, and you still don't admit it."
I heard his low muffled laughter, with a pleasant smile that 'Yin' had succeeded.
I thought that this nervousness would affect my appetite, and I would be restless and unsavory. But soon, the shyness was left behind me.
I broke free of my cool hand, and happily shuttled through the bustling flow of people, all kinds of snacks wrapped in oiled paper, or lifted, or held, or hugged in my arms, soaked in the oil stains on the sleeves, unaware, only proudly walking and eating. No one in the entire Yangzhou city knew me, and I brought a mask, gobbled it up, and ate it with relish, which attracted the attention of passers-by from time to time.
Liang Ci followed me every step of the way, and he also wore a mask on his face. Rao is like this, his temperament still provokes many 'female' shy fingers.
The more daring ones walked past him over and over again with a cheeky face, deliberately taking advantage of the crowd to touch or openly tease him with their elbows. A pair of affectionate eyes 'twitched' out of the peach 'flowers'.
I pursed my lips disdainfully, and said sourly: "Since you attract bees and butterflies like this, you have taken a mask for 'sex' and stayed away from me, a shameful person." There may be some surprises, but not necessarily. ”
Liang Ci snatched a piece of five-kernel cake from my hand, threw over a handkerchief, and said disgustedly: "It's good that you have self-knowledge, I just want to be closer to these foods in your hands." ”
I looked back at him in a delicate crescent white brocade robe, and I had the idea of 'tricking' in my heart, picking out a few snacks that I was tired of eating, and stuffed them into his arms without saying a word. Seeing that his front placket was finally poisoned by me, he was more mentally balanced, and proudly wiped his cuff again.
Unimpressed, he picked out the largest oiled paper bag and packed all the snacks I was tired of.
"Is the capital as prosperous as Yangzhou City?" I asked curiously.
"How so? The prosperity of Yangzhou City is like a gentle and pretty Jiangnan 'girl', pleasing to the eye, slender and colorful, while the prosperity of Beijing City is like a famous 'door' and noble 'woman', gorgeous but not ostentatious, with connotation, charm, each with its own merits. ”
"Is there such a snack in Beijing?"
"Naturally, I've heard that pea yellow, donkey rolling, and hawthorn cake are all good, but I've never eaten such a snack on the street, and I don't know what it tastes like. When you go to the capital, I will take you to eat all the streets. ”
I suddenly thought of the snacks in Jinling City, and when I thought of the master, my mood plummeted. She lives alone on the cloudy mountain, a light like a bean, how desolate should it be?
I didn't know what to eat for a while, and sighed lightly: "When I was in Jinling City before, I always dreamed of being able to eat the whole street from south to north like today, until my belly was full. often chattered in front of the master, the master was stingy, and only let me eat one or two things at a time, saying that he wanted to leave me a thought. Now, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it anymore. The master is alone, when he sees these things, will he think of me and feel sad? ”
Before I knew it, a vague mist appeared in my eyes, my nose was sore, and I almost burst into tears.
Liang Ci comforted me in a low voice: "I have sent a fast horse to deliver a letter to your master day and night, and I believe that before you leave, your master's reply will definitely be 'delivered' to you." When you have a firm foothold in the capital, it is good to take your master over. ”
I shook my head sadly: "I once heard the master say that when she was young, she traveled the rivers and lakes for many years and went to many places, and each place has unforgettable goodness. Only in the capital, she dislikes it the most, and even hates the disease. She said that the capital was too cold, the kind of cold that dipped into her bones. ”
"Yes, Jiangnan is gentle and subtle, and even the climate is like a young 'girl' with a warm vein. The northern winter is severe, and there will be snowy scenes covered in silver makeup; The summer is hot, and the purple and red are warmer and more barbaric than the south of the Yangtze River, like the spleen 'sex' of the northerners' love and hate.
But the climate there is dry, unlike the rainy season here, lingering, a little greasy, and full of mildew. The rain there was lightning and thunder, a splash, but in the blink of an eye, the sky was clear again, and the sun was as hot and bright as ever. ”
Liang Ci narrowed his eyes, looked at the sky in the distance, and patiently described for me another world that I had never seen before.
"My master didn't mean that, she said that the people there were too ruthless, suspicious, and cold, so I didn't like the capital very much."
Liang Ci lowered his head and looked at me, the eyes under the mask were extremely serious, which I couldn't understand, but they were like the stone under my window, which had a great attraction, forming a mysterious whirlpool that attracted my heart to it.
"Qingwu, I don't dare to say anything too well, and I don't dare to promise you anything, but there is one sentence I can tell you very responsibly: even if there are cruel places in the capital of one way or another, there is one good thing that will never be found elsewhere.
There is a unique sun in the whole world in the capital, no matter whether it is a 'spring' day or a harsh winter, he will hang in the sky above you, giving you a different warmth, so that you don't feel the slightest cold. ”
I raised my head to look at him, the soft light of the lantern behind him gilded him with a warm glow, and the red 'lips' under his face were angular, revealing perseverance and strength, giving people a different sense of security.
