CHAPTER XV
In the alley, the man stood on the brick road with Bailing brocade in his arms.
"Tighten it tighter, and I'll be strangled to death." Seeing that Bai Lingjin still had no intention of letting go, the man couldn't help but quip.
"Huh?" Bai Lingjin opened his eyes and found that he was already on the street, and his hand was still tightly wrapped around the man's neck, and he was held in the man's arms. Bai Lingjin was still a little girl, and she was in such close contact with the man, she blushed, immediately let go of her hand, and pushed the man violently, trying to escape from his arms.
The man didn't expect Bai Lingjin to react so much, he saw that Bai Lingjin was about to fall, so he quickly reached out and fished it out, pulled Bai Lingjin into his arms again, and helped Bai Lingjin to stand firm.
"Thank youγγγγγγ Thank you. Bai Lingjin hurriedly kept his distance from the man, and the man chuckled: "This night market is open, presumably Ling'er didn't eat well, so let's take you to the night market." β
Bai Lingjin had already had this intention, but he was embarrassed to say it for the sake of face, but at this moment, the man directly proposed it, and Bai Lingjin immediately agreed: "Okay!" β
The man was very interested in Bai Ling Jin, and took Bai Ling Jin through two alleys and arrived at the evening market.
The evening market is very lively, the brick streets are chic and generous, and the strong ancient flavor is particularly attractive. All kinds of stalls on both sides of the long street are spread, one after another, and the format objects on the stalls are dazzling, whether it is exquisite ornaments or attractive food, they all deeply attract Bailing brocade.
Bai Lingjin saw the sugar water shop not far away and walked straight over and ordered a bowl of longan sweet soup.
I saw the shopkeeper open a porcelain jar on the stove, poured out half of it, the rich sweetness of longan spread, the weather was slightly cool, and when the jar was opened, bursts of heat came out.
Soon, a bowl of steaming longan sweet soup was handed to Bai Ling Jin, Bai Ling Jin picked up and blew for a while, the white heat surrounded her, and after a while, Bai Ling Jin felt that the sweet soup had reached a suitable temperature for the entrance, and took a small sip. The longan is sweet and fragrant, the sweet soup is warm, and the Bailing brocade is quickly drunk, and I feel that my body is warm.
The man just smiled lightly on the side and waited for Bai Ling Jin to finish drinking.
After Bai Lingjin finished drinking, she saw that the stall opposite was selling pastries, and the golden egg yolk crisp made Bai Lingjin greedy, she put down the bowl and ran to the opposite stall, but the owner of the sugar water stall called out to her: "Little girl, you haven't given the money yet!" β
Bai Lingjin was very embarrassed, and took back the steps he had taken. She touched her waist and found that she had not taken a money bag with her when she went out. Bai Lingjin thought of the man next to him and looked at him with a pitiful face.
The man understood, pretended not to see Bai Ling Jin, and prepared to go to other stalls. Bai Lingjin saw that the man was leaving, and he was so anxious that he subconsciously wanted to hold him, but the man was tall, and Bai Lingjin was only up to his shoulder, and in a hurry, Bai Lingjin hugged his arm.
The man was very surprised, he lowered his head slightly, and saw Bai Lingjin's pitiful appearance, a pair of beautiful eyes with grievances, as if he was about to cry at any time, the man saw this, and did not tease Bai Lingjin excessively, took out the money bag on his waist, and helped Bai Lingjin pay.
Who knew that the man had just taken out the money bag, and was robbed by Bai Ling Jin, Bai Ling Jin smiled triumphantly, took out a few pennies and paid the stall owner of the sugar water shop, and swaggered to take the man's money bag to the pastry shop opposite, and did not hesitate to ask the shop owner to wrap a bag with kraft oil paper.
The man was amused by Bai Lingjin's behavior, he knew that he had been deceived by this little girl, and he was not annoyed, but just followed Bai Lingjin.
Bai Lingjin bought the egg yolk crisp and went to other shops with satisfaction, she carried the egg yolk crisp in one hand and the money bag in the other, with a smile on her face. It can be seen that Bai Lingjin is very happy.
Bai Lingjin checked the money bag in his hand, looked at the amazing-looking man beside him, and quipped: "Your money bag has some weight, it seems that your identity must not be simple, quickly and honestly, what is your name, who is it, how old is it, and whether you are married?" β
The man looked at Bai Lingjin, saw that her eyes were full of smiles, and his mood was inexplicably better, so he simply played with Bai Lingjin: "My name is Lin Chen, and I do some small business at home, as for marriage." The man suddenly stopped and picked up the chin of Bai Lingjin beside him: "I'm ashamed, I'm twenty, but I haven't been married, my parents are anxious, and they urge me to find a girl from a good family every day to start a family early, I think, Ling'er, you are very good, do you want to think about it?" The man picked up Bai Lingjin's chin with one hand, hugged Bai Lingjin's waist with the other, and with a little force, let Bai Lingjin lean on his arms, he lowered his head and was very close to Bai Lingjin.
Bai Lingjin felt the warm breath of this man who called himself Lin Chen, and her face instantly turned red, she pushed the man away and wanted to cover her face with her hands, but because she was holding something in both hands, she had to hang her head and not look at Lin Chen.
"Ling'er doesn't want to?" The man who claimed to be Lin Chen knew that Bai Lingjin was shy, so he looked at Bai Lingjin with a pretended aggrieved expression, and almost squeezed out a few tears, "Ling'er is like this, then I'll leave." "Anyway, pretend to leave.
"No, I γγγγγγ" Bai Lingjin looked at his aggrieved appearance, and he was anxious for a while, and he felt as if he was on a trap as soon as he spoke.
"Okay, that's the answer, I'll come to the door in a few days to propose." The man was joking at first, but he gradually became serious.
Bai Lingjin didn't know what to do, she did like the man in front of her, but she needed to find the regent, although she felt that this man was very much like the regent, but now she has lost her memory and can't deduce who the real regent is, if this man is not the regentγγγγγγ
Bai Lingjin didn't dare to continue to think about it, she didn't want to lose the person in front of her, she couldn't lie that she didn't like him. After struggling for a moment, Bai Lingjin gritted his teeth and said, "Let's get along slowly." β
The man was not surprised, but he was still a little disappointed in his heart, and at the same time, he heard Bai Lingjin say that he would get along slowly, and his heart was inexplicably happy.
"Okay, listen to Ling'er." The man smiled and took the egg yolk crisp in Bai Lingjin's hand, and then took the money bag, "Don't worry, I'll only help you carry it, the money bag is heavy, whatever you like, I'll pay for it." β
Bai Lingjin looked at the man's relieved smile, his heart warmed, Bai Lingjin thought that he would definitely help the regent win the throne, but he might have to give his heart to the person in front of him.
"Ling'er, I see that the lantern in front is good, do you want to put one?" The man smiled and pulled Bai Ling brocade towards the lantern shop.
Bai Lingjin did not refuse, let him pull him, and obediently followed him.
The lanterns are covered with all kinds of lanterns with exquisite designs, like real flowers, Bai Ling Jin and the man picked a lotus lantern and walked to the lake.
