"It's coming, it's coming!" The crowd spotted the wagons and donkey carts full of watermelons, and immediately boiled, and automatically and spontaneously made way out of a passage.

Li Li, who was sweating profusely, was finally liberated from the crowd. He squeezed to the donkey cart, wiped the sweat drops from his head, and said with a slight exaggeration: "My little ancestor, you are finally here!" If you don't send me watermelons, these people can tear me up! ”

A familiar figure squeezed out of the crowd, it was the steward of the Yao family, he had just eaten at the same table with Li Li yesterday, and said in a familiar tone: "Who dares to embarrass Lord Li!" Who doesn't know that Master Li is a celebrity next to Master Qincha! ”

"Reds? I've been sent to sell watermelons, what kind of celebrity am I! Li Li thought he was humorously blackmailing himself.

Yu Xiaocao raised her eyebrows and said, "What? I only asked you to help for two days, and then I complained? I see! In the future, I can let my godfather bring one less meal to the dock......"

"Don't! Don't!! In addition to your braised vegetables on the dock, you can also enter, but you may not be able to queue up every time. If I didn't have the food you delivered, I wouldn't be able to live a better life! Xiaocao, my sister-in-law, you just thought I didn't say anything just now, okay? can work for your aunt and grandmother, and the little Sansheng is fortunate to ......" Compared with Wu Yun, Li Li's temperament is more out-of-the-box, so he makes such funny expressions and actions as begging grandpa to tell grandma, without any sense of disobedience!

"Don't just chatter! Hurry up, I'm waiting to buy watermelon! "I don't know whose purchase, I don't seem to know the backstage of the melon shop, and I am shouting angrily. Another guest next to him kindly whispered in his ear for a moment, and the guy immediately wilted, avoiding Li Li's compulsive gaze.

There were a lot of people who came with the car, and with Li Li, a good helper, two carts of watermelons were quickly unloaded into the shop. The shelves, which were originally empty, were also occupied by round watermelons at this time.

After waiting in front of the door for a long time, the customers who were finally able to buy watermelons filled the small shop.

The housekeeper of the Yao family, who helped unload the watermelons, said to Xiaocao with a smile: "Yesterday, didn't the girl give our old lady two watermelons?" In the afternoon, two old lady's friends came to visit, and our old lady couldn't help but take it out to show off, but unexpectedly was taken away by those two old friends! Our old lady was angry and ordered me to come and wait in line early in the morning, saying that he wanted to buy a lot of money and go back, and hold a 'melon tasting party' at noon......"

Yu Xiaocao couldn't help but laugh when she heard it, people often said: Old children, old children! Sure enough, the older people get, the more like children. Mrs. Yao's two old friends came to visit, and they were able to do something like taking the master's watermelon. And in order to show off, Mrs. Yao also made a "melon tasting meeting", which is really interesting!

Xiaocao picked ten good watermelons from the watermelons for the Yao family's steward. Maybe it's because she is with Xiao Tianshi every day, and she can gradually feel some aura. For example, she could faintly feel the concentration of aura contained in the "bath water" of the little mending stone. Among these watermelons, which ones are ripe and which ones are sweeter, they are all related to the concentration of the spirit stone water absorbed, so she can vaguely detect it.

After the Yao family steward paid the money, it seemed that a certain floodgate had been opened. Yu Xiaocao next, sitting next to the cash box, never had a chance to get up again, it was really soft to collect money!

The watermelons on the shelves were quickly sold out. The eldest aunt, Han, kept moving watermelons from the backyard to the shelves. Selling a shelf short, she quickly filled the watermelon. When I can't get busy, my grandmother Yao will also give me a hand.

Li Li and Yu Hai drove the carriage and donkey cart back to Dongshan Village. In the afternoon, two more truckloads of watermelons will be brought over for tomorrow's sale.

Most of the rich and noble families in the town are related to their relatives, and many of the people who bought watermelons yesterday have invited relatives and friends to taste them. But anyone who has tasted the taste of Yu's watermelon has nothing that he does not fall for it. I haven't eaten it at a relative's friend's house, so I sent someone to buy it early this morning or in person. Therefore, in the melon shop of the Yu family, there was a scene of yesterday's rush to buy.

"Huh? What kind of shop is there, it's so lively! A low-key and luxurious carriage stopped not far from the "Tanggu Watermelon Shop", with a pair of white and tender hands, gently unveiling the curtain of the carriage and looking this way.

Next to the carriage, a handsome young man riding on a tall horse glanced at the melon shop, leaned down and whispered to the person in the carriage: "Mother, there should be a watermelon shop over there......

The handsome young man called the concubine was a beautiful woman with a pale face and a thin body, and her every move seemed to be weak, but with an innate grace. The woman coughed lightly twice, took the cup in the maid's hand, moistened her lips, and said in a soft and delicate voice: "Watermelon shop? Isn't watermelon something you can eat in summer? Could it be that the watermelons in Tanggu are ripened earlier than in the capital? ”

The handsome young man also said with a little puzzlement: "Yes! It's just late spring, so why are there people selling watermelons? Xiao Zhuozi, it seems that we also grow watermelons in Zhuangzi, right? ”

Known as Little Zhuozi, he is a slightly feminine young man. Hearing the master ask him, he bowed down on the horse and said: "The slave went to Zhuangzi a few days ago, and the watermelon on Zhuangzi is only the size of a fist, and it will take at least more than a month to mature!" ”

The beautiful woman, who seemed to be very interested in the melon shop, said softly but slightly resolutely: "Little Er, you go buy a watermelon, let's taste it." ”

"Mother, watermelon is cold, you haven't been feeling well lately, don't buy watermelon, right?" The handsome young man frowned lightly, and said with a little worry.

The beautiful woman glanced at him with a pair of phoenix eyes, her willow eyebrows seemed to be frowning, and she said with a slightly sad face: "Alas...... My body is mainly a heart disease, you don't know! also said that he went out to take a walk, and finally had an appetite to eat some fruit, and he had to push back and forth...... Oops, my heart hurts......"

Not again! The handsome young man looked helpless. His mother, although she is nearly forty years old, is still like a little girl, and she needs someone to hold and protect her, and if she is not satisfied at all, it hurts this and that...... Alas! It's all used to by my father!! Who in the capital doesn't know that His Royal Highness King Jing is an out-and-out favorite wife maniac?

"Mother! How did you promise your father before you came out? You also agreed, in terms of eating, drinking, living and traveling, listen to the children! It's only been a few days since I left Beijing, why did I forget about it? "The handsome young man, the second son of King Jing, Zhu Junxi persuaded him in a good voice.

Princess Jing's big eyes turned flexibly, choosing her usual rogue attitude, covering her heart and screaming non-stop, and said again and again: "Didn't you also promise your father that within a reasonable range, all depend on me, and don't make me angry?" I'm just tasteless now, I want to eat some fruit, and I don't exceed the reasonable requirements! ”

In the face of Princess Jing's almost cheating attitude, her two personal maids, Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang, lowered their eyebrows and looked at what they should do. They have seen a lot of such things. The princess is favored by the prince and protected by three sons, and every time she wants to achieve her goal, she will pretend to be sick. The big and small masters felt sorry for the princess, and every time the result was that the princess won.

Zhu Junxi sighed silently, and wanted to make a final struggle, so he persuaded softly: "Mother, do you remember who you came to Tanggu for?" If you eat cold watermelon and make your condition worse, if the third brother knows about it when he comes back, he will definitely blame himself! ”

Why did this Princess Jing appear in the small town of Tanggu? Her reason seems to be very sufficient-the third son Zhu Junyang has been at sea for more than half a year, and there has been no news so far.

The sea is full of dangers, and there are winds and waves from time to time. During the sea trial, if her junior was not blessed with a great life, she might have been at sea, and she had been going for more than half a year, could she not be anxious? Tanggu is the closest town to the harbor, and it seems that she is closer to her youngest son when she comes here, so that her restless heart can be slightly calmed.

King Jing also looked at his concubine and missed his son's growing thinner, so he asked his second son to take her out to relax. If it weren't for the fact that he has been busy lately, he would have accompanied him personally.

Speaking of her youngest son, Princess Jing's eyes suddenly dimmed, to say that ninety percent of the heartache just now was pretended, but at this time, ten percent was true. The worries and worries about her son were all blocked in her heart, making it almost difficult for her to breathe.

The youngest son is interested in sailing ships, and since he was a child, he has followed his cousin - the current emperor - behind him, watching the models of ocean-going ships, born in the hands of his cousin, only three or four years old, and set a lofty ambition - to be an ocean-going adventurer when he grows up, bring back all the strange objects on the other side of the ocean, and relieve his mother's boredom!

She thought it was a child's words, but she didn't expect that more than ten years later, the youngest son really boarded the ocean ship and went to that unknown place.

"Princess, feeling unwell again? Orchid, what about the princess's pills? Take one and give it to the princess! Mei Xiang sensed the master's discomfort, hurriedly poured a glass of warm water, and took the cold incense pill for the master.

Zhu Junxi realized that he had said the wrong thing, which made his mother worried, so he hurriedly dismounted, lifted the curtain, and asked with concern: "Mother, don't worry, the ships are all veterans who followed the emperor to the ocean at the beginning, and they have rich experience." I believe that the third brother will return safely soon. ”

Princess Jing felt better after taking the pill, gave her son a weak smile, and said, "It's an old problem, I'm fine, don't worry." ”

Zhu Junxi saw that his mother's face was better, so he put his mind at ease and said with a little blame: "Parents are here, don't travel far!" The third brother is too, knowing that the mother concubine has a heartache, and insists on going to sea......"

"Shut up!" Princess Jing didn't have a trace of a smile on her beautiful face at this time, and her weak eyes became fierce, "Xiao Er, put away your thoughts that you shouldn't have!" Our Jingwang Mansion doesn't have the kind of fratricidal and secret fighting! ”
