Chapter 10: The Prime Minister's Son
This is the second time I have seen the liveliness of the capital, and that time I didn't look carefully, but this time I saw it carefully.
"Seller, how much does this bracelet cost?" I came to a shop selling jewelry.
"Three taels, the girl really knows the goods." The seller hurriedly smiled.
Three-two? The one I bought for Chen Er is only three articles, it's so expensive! I had to stop. Then I looked at the bronze mirrors, jade pendants, masks, clay figurines, and many other interesting things, but I didn't buy any of them.
I clutched the five copper plates in my hand, which my mother gave me from the money she had left over from the medicine. There was also a heavy ingot of silver in my arms, which Qinggu asked me to buy cloth for, and I would never dare to spend this money.
In the end, I just spent a penny to buy three steamed buns, ate one, and left two for my mother.
"Alas, I've been looking for three years and haven't found it."
"Anyway, this emperor is really kind, and he hasn't given up after looking for three years."
"yes...... It's a blessing for my country to have you. โ
I looked at the group of people in front of me, and it took a lot of effort to get in, the same notice I saw in Wu County. Then he came out boredly, and when he saw that it was getting dark, he remembered what he was going to do, and went to a shop to buy cloth and hurried back.
I didn't buy much, and it didn't sink, but it wasโ
"Suddenly! Be careful! โ
I was thrown down with a violent force, and the bun in my hand was snatched away by a force, and I didn't have time to lament before I slammed it to the ground. It hurts to hit the ground with my buttocks, and I watched a black dog escape, what kind of shit luck is this, it's hard to get out of a trip to buy a bun and be robbed.
"Black Wind, come back!"
As soon as I stood up, I was hugged into an embrace, "I've been looking for you for a long time." โ
I'm stupid! It's really stupid. Looking at the young man who was a head taller than me, there was a familiar voice in his ears, and there was a slight nasal voice. But who is he?
He let go of me, his big eyes full of joy.
It's him!
The lake was filled with the twilight of the sunset, and a small boat rowed by, and the glowing waves of water spread out in both directions.
"Why did you come to the capital?" I have to say that I was very surprised to meet him.
"I said I wanted to see you in the capital, of course I'm coming." Seeing that I was stunned, he laughed again, "I live in the capital, and I will always meet it, but I didn't expect to look for it for so long." โ
I wanted to ask him why he had to look for me, but a dark shadow stopped me. It's the dog named Black Wind!
At this time, he was wagging his tail from a distance, and he must have eaten and drunk enough. Then he rubbed his head against the sleeve of his master's coat and screamed a few times, as if it was not it who had abandoned his master just now.
I snorted and snatched my stuff.
The dog didn't respond, but the owner of the dog apologized to me, "Don't be angry, I'll pay you ten times more for the bun." โ
"It's a deal!" I laughed, I didn't expect him to be so generous. Immediately said: "I want minced meat!" He smiled and said yes without thinking.
When I returned to Sufu, I had a big bag of things in my armsโfull of meat buns.
Yunzhong looked up at the plaque in Sufu for a long time, and his eyes in the twilight made it a little difficult to see. Then he reacted and led the black fool to leave, but he walked far away and seemed to remember something, turned around and said loudly: "Suddenly, I'm in the Prime Minister's Mansion." โ
I was stunned for a moment, almost not reacting.
"You can come to me anytime.".
Prime Minister's Mansion? Isn't that a mansion bigger than Su Mansion!
Just by looking at what he was wearing, I knew that he was not a simple person, not like a subordinate, then it was ...... The Prime Minister's son?
I shook my head, not believing the guess, but my gut feeling was right.
When I returned to Sufu, I handed over an errand to Qinggu, and returned to the house to take the buns to my mother.
"Why are there so many buns? How much can you buy for five pennies? My mother exclaimed.
"It's not." I said as I ate, slurring my words, "I met Yunzhong, his dog ate my buns, and he paid me for it." I shoved another one into my mouth.
"Smack!" I touched my head aggrievedly, can't I wait until I'm done eating? Almost choked to death.
"Alas, your mother's old face has been lost by you, and you even let the son of a prime minister pay you for your buns! How could my mother give birth to such a useless daughter! My mother's face looked like she hated iron but not steel, and she didn't know whether she was angry with me or herself.
"Mother, I didn't ask him to pay, it was him...... By the way, do you know that he is the son of the prime minister? "I only guessed it today.
"After coming to the capital, my mother inquired, who doesn't know the prime minister's son." My mother looked arrogant, as if the prime minister's son was his son.
I shook my head and went on to eat my bun. Steamed buns are hard to come by, and meat buns are even more rare, so you must savor them.
"Smack!"
"Mother!" I frowned at my mother, maybe she was not smart enough.
"I know how to eat, and I don't know how to worry about my life's events."
I pouted, I'm not a three-year-old, what's there to worry about.
"Let's go to sleep after eating, we have to be busy again tomorrow...... It seems that some dignitaries are coming. After saying that, my mother walked to the bed, pinched the two buns with her hand, and left me alone.
I snickered and followed.
The moonlight is always so bright, as white as a bun.
"It would be nice if you could eat meat buns every day." I can only say this in my dreams, otherwise my mother will say that I have no interest.
I didn't want anything to do, so I smacked my lips and tasted the meat buns before falling asleep. Don't know what kind of guest tomorrow will be?
In my dream, the matchmaker who said goodbye to me appeared again, and I remember that my mother also said that it was a distinguished guest......
