A small soft hand silently half-grasped the hand that he was holding hard and couldn't let go in the crowd, like a warm quilt on his heart that was about to be cold, Jiang Zhen lowered his head and looked at the eyes that were engrossed in paying attention to himself, and only this person's eyes were looking at himself in this crowded street, always and gently. Jiang Zhen pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, looked at Bai Xiaofu gratefully, and showed a redeemed smile.

Jiang Zhen let go of his regained consciousness and wrapped Bai Xiaofu's thin and small hand in the palm of his hand, and his heart instantly warmed. He used to have a lot of things that others could take away if they wanted to, but now he only has this one, but no one else can take it, and it is enough for him to keep this one, and his heart will be filled with this one, and he can no longer hold anything else.

Jiang Zhen looked at the four princes who happened to walk directly in front of him again, and looked calmly, it should be his own self who would take it back, but for those painful memories of the past, he had found the things that squeezed those away, and those would no longer affect him.

Looking at the person standing tall in front of him, Jiang Zhen declared war in his heart and said: Next time, I will take back everything I owe me.

Bai Xiaofu did not have such a big fluctuation in Jiang Zhen's heart, after comforting Jiang Zhen, Bai Xiaofu carefully looked at the group of people, led by the four princes, I don't know if he was wearing a human skin mask, that person had the same face as Jiang Zhen, and even his bearing was very similar to Concubine De's natural nobility, it seems that even if he finds a fake Concubine De, he is not looking for a perfunctory random person. Bai Xiaofu faintly felt that this person must be the Ji family, but he was secretly trained by the Ji family a long time ago, but he didn't know when the Ji family began to plan this trick. However, after a closer look, Bai Xiaofu really saw a person he knew a long time ago, this person disappeared a long time ago, because Bai Xiaofu was not familiar with him, so he didn't notice it, but this person was Xue Gui, the internal affairs department that Bai Xiaofu entered with him before, and then participated in the competition for Concubine De to choose an internal servant for Jiang Zhen, but later Bai Xiaofu was selected and Xue Gui was seriously injured but was not selected. Bai Xiaofu carefully recalled the details at that time, he remembered that he still doubted whether Xue Gui had agreed to Jiying's conditions, and now it seems that this is the matter, so Concubine De had planned to have such a day a long time ago, Bai Xiaofu looked at Jiang Zhen, whose face had recovered as before, and hesitated to tell Jiang Zhen about it, but after telling Jiang Zhen, Jiang Zhen would show what kind of painful expression.

After the four princes and their entourage left, the street returned to the bustle and noise just now, as if everything just now was just an unrealistic dream of Jiang Zhen and Bai Xiaofu.

Bai Xiaofu said lightly: "Big brother, let's go back." Bai Xiaofu felt that Jiang Zhen must be in a very bad mood now, and the scene just now brought the two who were immersed in a beautiful and peaceful life back to reality again. Burst the bubble of their fragile illusions about a peaceful life.

Jiang Zhen smiled at Bai Xiaofu and said, "Didn't you say that you would go back after visiting the night market?" ”

The smile was very sincere, and Bai Xiaofujing couldn't see any trace of pretending. Bai Xiaofu still felt a little sorry for Jiang Zhen, so he asked, "But ......"

Before he could ask the words, he was interrupted by Jiang Zhen, Jiang Zhen gently shook Bai Xiaofu's hand and smiled, "I'm fine, I haven't shopped enough, okay with me?" ”

Bai Xiaofu seemed to be bewitched by that smile, nodded subconsciously, and suddenly thought that his hand was still holding Jiang Zhen and wanted to withdraw his hand. Jiang Zhen noticed Bai Xiaofu's movements, and added gently: "It's getting dark, holding hands won't be lost." ”

Bai Xiaofu was obedient again, and he seemed to like the feeling of holding his hands, as if there was a person who could let him rely on it wantonly, very warm and soft.

The night gradually darkened, the number of people on the street did not decrease but increased, and the lanterns with their own signboards were lit one after another on the stalls, and the warm yellow lights made the street seem to bring a mysterious color, the children laughing and playing on the roadside, the flirting lovers, the vendors who greeted the guests, and Bai Xiaofu and Jiang Zhen with their fingers interlocked. They walked quietly, turned the street to another strange but similar street, the two did not say a word, but it seemed to exchange hearts, walked for a long time, no destination, no idea, when passing a small bridge, I don't know who set off clusters of fireworks on the other side of the river, the two quietly looked at the fireworks that they didn't know what they were lit for, but no matter what it was, in the eyes of those who watched carefully, they were set off for themselves.

"You like this kind of life, a peaceful life." Jiang Zhen's voice broke the silence first on the silent bridge.

"Yes."

"I like it too...... Thank you for always being there for me. ”

Bai Xiaofu smiled lightly, "Your Highness, this is going to keep the little one." I couldn't help but bring out the old name.

Jiang Zhen hadn't heard Bai Xiaofu call him His Royal Highness for a long time, and he was stunned for a moment, but he smiled, his eyes looked at Bai Xiaofu and said, "I want to circle you, but not Your Highness, it's me." ”

When I returned to the inn, everyone had already finished dinner, Bai Xiaofu distributed all the things that I bought for everyone to everyone, even Zhang Lao Er, who had a conflict with Jiang Zhen in the morning, had one, and each gift was Bai Xiaofu put a little effort into it, everyone's is different, just take Zhang Lao Er's as an example, although Zhang Lao Er is vulgar, he is not particular and often picks on other people's thorns, but he has a son who is not different from him at all, his son thinks about reading all day long, thinking about how to not be like his father, Zhang Lao'er naturally looked down on his son, who was weak and didn't listen to his own discipline, every time he mentioned his son, he was disgusted, but Bai Xiaofu found that even if he disliked it, he mentioned it again and again, he was really a twisted father, so Bai Xiaofu and Jiang Zhen inquired and went to the best book and ink store in the capital. Bai Xiaofu asked the shopkeeper to get him a better set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

After coming back, when Bai Xiaofu took out these things and handed them to Zhang Laoer, Zhang Laoer's face turned blue and red for a while, some people said that the Bai brothers were deliberately angry with Zhang Laoer, and deliberately bought things that Chen Laoer's son liked and asked Chen Laoer to give them to his son, just to lose Chen Laoer's face; Some people also said that Jiang Zhen and Bai Xiaofu were sincere, and they didn't see that among the things they brought to everyone, Chen Lao Er's things were the most and heaviest, and they were not stupid, and they worked hard to carry such a heavy black stone to deal with Chen Lao Er. Hearing this, Chen Laoer's face turned even redder. These people are all powerful old and coarse, so they naturally don't know that these pen, ink, paper, inkstone are actually the same price as the small and delicate gold chain, but they are all sensible people, and almost all know that the Bai family's brother and sister don't care about the previous matter.

Although Chen Laoer's temperament is awkward, it is not bad, and this kind of person does not want to owe others favors, so he has something to say. So when Chen Lao Er and Jiang Zhen stood in a stalemate face to face, Bai Xiaofu expected it, but these two people obviously wanted to apologize and the other to accept, but the current posture was like the two were going to fight again. Jiang Zhen is the usual old way, standing coldly in place, since Chen Lao Er stopped him when he went upstairs, he didn't say a word, and Chen Lao Er may be waiting for Jiang Zhen to ask him if he is okay and give himself a step, but I didn't expect Jiang Zhen to completely look at you in my way, let me go, but I didn't mean to see Chen Lao Er in his eyes at all. If Chen Lao Er hadn't come to apologize at this time, he would have been angry in the face of Jiang Zhen's ghostly appearance, but now the apology that he originally planned to export was stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out, and his face was so red that he was holding back. Bai Xiaofu looked at it on the side and thought that Jiang Zhen still had the ability to get along with people normally, but after seeing this, Bai Xiaofu shook his head helplessly, stepped forward, and said to Chen Laoer: "Brother Chen, is there anything wrong with my brother?" ”

Chen Lao Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said a lot of words to Bai Tingzhi, a cute and sensible little girl, and smiled awkwardly, "It's not that Brother Chen made a joke with your brother in the morning, it's a little too much, I just want to apologize to your brother, it's the eldest brother." ”

Bai Xiaofu showed a sweet smile at Chen Lao Er, "Brother Chen, where is this, they are all their own people, and it is normal for all big men to have some friction, isn't there an old saying called 'don't fight and don't know each other', besides, my brother doesn't care anymore at this time." yes, big brother. Saying that, Bai Xiaofu winked at Jiang Zhen, Jiang Zhen ignored him and turned his head slightly.

Bai Xiaofu also took a closed door, wrinkled his little nose, and continued to play a round game: "Don't look at my brother who doesn't like to talk much, but his mind is very delicate, those two books were picked by my brother to the shopkeeper of the bookstore." No matter how much Chen Lao Er didn't believe it in his heart, and how much he slandered, Bai Xiaofu and Jiang Zhen did it on the surface.

Chen Lao Er is still very grateful to the Bai family brothers, he and his son have always been not harmonious, but in his heart he really wants to be close to his son, but he can't pull his face. I can't help but sigh that Miss Tingzhi is really a good girl, if only she were her daughter-in-law. Chen Lao Er didn't believe that such a thing could be done by Jiang Zhen's stone brain, but Miss Tingzhi was afraid that she would have a dislike with her eldest brother.

Here, Jiang Zhen and Bai Xiaofu just entered their room, and Jiang Zhen said lightly behind Bai Xiaofu: "It's not that I can't handle things, it's just that I don't want to forgive him." Bai Xiaofu looked back at Jiang Zhen, who was still standing in front of the door, stepped forward and shook Jiang Zhen's with his hand, and showed a grateful smile to Jiang Zhen.

At this time, a little guy who was following Qian Sanjin ran over, knocked on the door, and told Jiang Zhen and Bai Xiaofu that Qian Sanjin was looking for them. Then Bai Xiaofu and Jiang Zhen had to go and go to Qian Sanjin's room, Bai Xiaofu also prepared a gift for Qian Sanjin, but he didn't see him downstairs just now, so he thought that it would be okay to give Qian Sanjin the money bag and gifts the next day, but he didn't expect Qian Sanjin to be in such a hurry.
