Su Ying thought that Ah Ming was crying so much, and after he left, Pei Zhao would inevitably ask, so he had already thought of his words in his heart. didn't think that Pei Zhao didn't ask anything, but took her around along Suzaku Street very leisurely, went to the tea house to listen to the story, went to the downtown to watch the tricks, and took her to buy Qingtuanzi. In the summer, Tianjing City is not half lively, and even there are several vendors who sell sour plum soup with their burdens, Su Ying is holding a few gadgets won by guessing charades in circles, and excitedly pulls Pei Zhao to sit in a small shop where he used to go, and tells the vendor who is making sour plum soup: "Granny Hu, remember to add more osmanthus candy to me!" ”

The peddler was a spirited old woman, and she was very quick at work. She scooped out a spoonful of osmanthus from the crockpot and said with a smile: "Remember, remember!" When you were a child, this girl doll often followed her brothers to drink her mother-in-law's sour plum soup, and every time she had to put more osmanthus candy. A few days ago, your brother came, and I asked him why he hadn't seen you for a few years. It turned out that the girl doll got married, and she married such a talented man, congratulations! ”

Su Ying was naturally very happy when she heard this, and Pei Zhao also smiled: "Thank you, old man." ”

He looked at the furnishings in the shop one by one, and saw that the shop was not big, and there was nothing of value, but it was clean and tidy, and when he saw that the old man was busy alone, he asked: "I see that you are strong and in good spirits, why don't you live at home for a long time, but come out so hard?" I remember that the imperial court revised the law last year, and anyone over the age of 60 could go to the local yamen every month to receive a penny. ”

"The guest officer laughed, in such a good world now, as long as he is not a lazy person, who will not have a good life?" The old woman smiled and said: "Although my two sons can't make a big deal, one is farming at home, the other is running a grocery store in the West Market, plus the silver given by the imperial court, they can be regarded as having no worries about food and clothing." My son and daughter-in-law are very filial, I have long said that I want to enjoy the blessings at home, it is my old bones who are born to be idle, so I started to do the old business, you see, now is the time, and when the time passes, my family Erlang will come to pick up my house! ”

Pei Zhao nodded, and then heard a few young soldiers at the adjacent table laugh and said: "Fortunately, Aunt Hu can't be idle, otherwise in the summer, I don't know what to do with the gluttonous worms in my stomach!" ”

There are many people in this shop, and the old and young, women and children, scholars and soldiers are among them, Pei Zhao quietly talked with them, and felt the people's livelihood and people's feelings clearly, so he put his mind at ease. Su Ying smiled and handed him the sour plum soup that had just been served, urging: "Taste it quickly, it won't taste good when the ice melts!" ”

He tasted it as he said, and smiled at her apologetically: "It's me who is not good, so I snubbed you." ”

"No, I like to see you just the way you look." She turned her head and asked the old woman with a smile: "Granny Hu, what do you think of my husband?" ”

The old woman smiled and added another spoonful of sour plum soup to her, and said happily: "You little girl doll's mind is the best guess, as long as I praise your husband a few words, you will be happy, yes or no?" But you, the husband, are magnificent, knowledgeable and good-natured, and very considerate to you, you are really a talent who is one in a hundred! ”

Su Ying blinked, a little puzzled: "How do you know so much?" ”

"He was wearing such good clothes, but he was very gentle when he talked to us, and he didn't have half a stand, even the crazy boy of the Zhang family who was admitted to Xiucai was obedient to him, and he was naturally a good person with knowledge. As for the word "thoughtfulness......"

She cleaned up the dishes with her hands and feet, but she smiled and said nothing, but a fast-talking woman with a child next to her couldn't hold back and quipped:

"This sister must be spoiled by her husband! Don't you know that when you lowered your head and drank sour plum soup and spoke, your husband kept looking at you and laughing? The sour plum soup in your bowl is not cold, who changed it for you? ”

In the sound of good-natured laughter, Su Ying realized that Pei Zhao didn't know when to quietly change the bowl, she looked at the crystal clear ice cubes in the bowl, and smiled embarrassedly.

When she came out after drinking the sour plum soup, she looked at Pei Zhao with a smile: "How about it, this trip is not in vain!" ”

Pei Zhao nodded and told her: "I never thought that in this world, besides you, there would be others who said that I was sexual." ”

When he was very young, the people in the palace privately talked about the three princes, but it was just a short sentence "The fate is unknown, Your Majesty is very displeased", and later he made great achievements, but his temperament has long been cold and accustomed, coupled with the very strict rule, people are afraid of his majesty, and often carefully flattered a sentence: "Your Royal Highness is brave and good at fighting, and acts resolutely, which is really a great luck." Even when he became the emperor, the ministers in the court respected and feared him.

He never imagined that one day, he would sit in a simple shop, drink sour plum soup, and have a good conversation with a group of ordinary people, and a smiling old woman would describe him with words like "gentle temperament", and would tell his Ah Ying that he was a good husband.

Su Ying held his hand, and a smile overflowed between his eyebrows: "You see, as long as you smile more, everyone likes to talk to you, right?" In addition to me, there will be many people in this world who are kind to you and make you happy. She thought for a moment and added, "Of course, I'm the top one, and you need special treatment!" ”

Pei Zhao wanted to say something, but he was afraid that she would be upset, so he nodded with a smile, and Su Ying looked at him playfully and asked, "If there were other girls who were not afraid of you like me and were very good to you, would you still like me?" ”

"......" Pei Zhao looked at her amusedly: "This question doesn't seem to be valid." ”

"I'll just ask!"

Su Ying knew that the difficulty of her question was no less than the eternal question that was not trivial for a man in the joke: "The lady and the mother fell into the water at the same time, which one will you save first?" He tugged on Pei Zhao's sleeve and encouraged him:

"You don't have to be afraid of me, no matter what you say, I won't be angry!"

Pei Zhao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and teased her: "Then don't make trouble first, let me think about it." ”

This brother is really bold! Su Ying immediately grabbed his hand and bit it gently, putting on a fierce expression with bared teeth: "You dare to think about it!" ”

Pei Zhao chuckled lowly, and straightened Hua Sheng on her bun: "Ah Jin, I remember that there was a time when you were not good to me at all, always avoiding me, and thinking about how to push me away." But at that time, I made up my mind that this life must be yours. ”

He looked at her intently, and his eyebrows were full of a gentle smile: "Ah Ming, there is no what ifs for me, as long as you are still you, I will fall in love with you." ”

Su Ying only felt that her face was so hot, and it was useless to drink so much sour plum soup just now, and Pei Zhao carried her into the carriage and held her hand with a smile, as if she had just asked the stupidest question in the world. She looked at Pei Zhao with a red face for a long time, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

There was a very faint Su Hexiang burning in the carriage, and she snuggled in Pei Zhao's arms, only to feel more and more sleepy. Pei Zhao moved her body to make her more comfortable, and whispered softly in her ear: "Sleep, I'll call you later." ”

Su Ying let out a confused "um", and forgot to ask Pei Zhao where he was going to take her, so he slowly closed his eyes.

In fact, she did not sleep peacefully, because she was very tired, but she did not dare to sleep too deeply, and she was always afraid that once she fell asleep, she would never wake up again. But half-asleep, she seemed to hear Pei Zhao whispering something in her ear, she struggled to get up and wanted to hear clearly, but the voice seemed to be shrouded in clouds and mist, not very clear, she listened to it for a long time, and only heard the word "don't be afraid" clearly. His arms were so warm that she could rest assured.

I don't know how long it took, Su Ying finally woke up, she subconsciously pinched herself quietly, and felt a slight pain on the back of her hand, so she was relieved, fortunately, she was still alive. She quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that she was still nestled in Pei Zhao's arms, so she looked up at him with a smile: "How long have I been sleeping?" ”

The carriage was a little dim, Pei Zhao's face was hidden in a gloom, he couldn't see any expression, he looked at Su Ying for a long time, and Fang said in a low voice: "It's already time, do you still want to sleep?" If you feel sleepy, lie down again. ”

She hurriedly shook her head, and Pei Zhao helped her get out of the carriage and led her forward. Su Ying only felt that this place was very unfamiliar, surrounded by endless fields, several houses of different sizes stood in the middle, and smoke curled from the chimney, like the "Returning to the Garden and Pastoral Residence Map" of Danqing Pavilion, Su Ying had never seen such a scene, but felt very fresh, so he looked at Pei Zhao happily: "Are you going to take me here to relax?" ”

Pei Zhao smiled, but didn't answer, only pulled her straight forward, the two of them passed by a place that looked like a school, and walked a few steps along the path, and finally stopped in front of the door of a simple mansion. He smiled again and said to Su Jin:

"Ah Jin, you knock on the door."

Although Su Ying felt a little strange, she still did it. There was soon movement inside the door, and she heard the people inside seem to say "Coming", and the voice was very familiar, like ...... She subconsciously glanced at Pei Zhao, only to see that he was looking at herself with a smile, and the footsteps inside the door were getting closer and closer, only to hear a "squeak", the door had been opened, and a young man in a gray plain robe stood in front of her, urging her with a smile: "What are you still doing in a daze, come in quickly!" ”

She pinched herself hard to make sure that it was not a dream, she looked at the familiar face in front of her, and finally said with a trembling: "...... Brother? ”
