My intestines are full of regret, which tendon was wrong just now, and I would agree to the proposal of "shopping first, then deciding".

Along the way, you will either be bumped into by beautiful women constantly, or endure other people's dementia attention along the way, and even give flowers and gifts, just like a fns meeting. The person concerned has nothing to do, and he looks like a leisurely appearance of idle clouds and wild cranes, but it hurts me, one will act as a security guard to maintain order, and the other will act as an economic person to refuse gifts and comfort the masses. I'm afraid that if I continue to walk around like this, before he decides what to eat, I'm already going to be consumed by fatigue.

"Master, have you decided to eat something? If there is, let's eat it quickly and go back. I wiped the sweat from my forehead and couldn't help but say.

"Not yet." He was calm, as if all this chaos had nothing to do with him.

"Can the minion ask you to cover your face?" I broke down and said, "You're so ostentatious." ”

"Why?" Shizi looked dazed.

I patiently explained, "Don't you think a lot of people are paying attention to you? It felt awkward, like being watched. ”

Shizi thought for a moment: "Isn't it always like this?" ”

I was speechless, apparently he had grown up accustomed to being watched. When I, a rural cat, haven't I seen the world? I couldn't stand to go about my activities in front of everyone.

Seeing the mask stall in front of me, I had an idea, "Master, the people have the custom of wearing masks during the Moon and Night Festival, and we will also follow the customs of the locals, buy one and play with it." ”

When I walked to the stall first, I saw all kinds of colorful masks with rough lines placed in the stall. Thinking of the appearance of the son, I mischievously picked a judge mask with a dark background and a hideous face. I beckoned to the prince to come over, compared it to his face, and said with satisfaction: "It's a perfect match, this mask is simply tailor-made for the master!" ”

"This?" Shizi took the mask and looked at it, "Why is it so ugly?" ”

"The master doesn't know, the uglier this mask is, the more precious it is, and it's even more beautiful if it's so ugly, it's the most suitable for the master!" Who made you look so wicked and get me in trouble? If you have white skin, I will choose a black one for you, and if you look like a fairy, I will choose a hateful one! It has to be the opposite.

I took the mask and shouted at the boss, "How much does this mask cost, boss?" ”

"A penny." The boss is a lady in her fifties, she replied with a smile.

"Okay, I'm going to get this." Hand her the money, pick up the mask and put it on for the son.

"Oh, little brother, how did you choose this mask for this young master!" The proprietress shouted in shock.

"Isn't that good?" I rewarded her for remembering her eyes, and the dog was nosy with the mouse!

"How can this mask be worthy of this young master?" The proprietress didn't know how to read people's faces, and said stubbornly: "I haven't seen such a handsome person in my life, how can you choose the ugliest mask for him!" ”

"Isn't the uglier the more precious?" Shizi replied to the words of the boss lady, but his eyes were staring at me, and the light in his eyes flickered.

"Ouch, young master, who are you listening to nonsense? Masks are the same as people, and of course, the more handsome the better. "Is it necessary for this proprietress to be so upright? Puncture my lies directly!

She took out a silver mask, the color was like the moon, and the depiction was exquisite: "This moon god mask is worthy of the young master!" ”

"How is it the opposite of what you just said?" Shizi's phoenix eyes flashed with a deadly cold light.

"The customs of each place are different, and the uglier the villain's hometown, the better." My cold sweat dripped. "Boss, how much is this Luna Mask?" Looking at Shizi's obviously suspicious eyes, let's quickly shift the target.

"Thirty dollars!"

"Thirty texts! Why don't you grab it! "I screamed, this boss is too dark!

"Little brother, you can't say that!" The proprietress angrily defended: "Look at this workmanship, just look at this touch, how expensive is thirty yuan!" If it weren't for this young master's face, I would usually be at least seventy yuan! ”

I don't have much change left, so when I buy this mask, what should I do to invite the son of the world to eat!? You can't buy anything. "It's too expensive, you're sitting on the ground!" I put down my mask and turned to leave.

"Bajie, pay." Shizi obviously has a good impression of this moon god mask, he picked up the mask and put it on, silky long hair flowed down from both sides of the silver mask, white clothes were ethereal, and his temperament was dusty, really like a moon palace immortal. I really don't know what the point of buying this mask is!? Wearing it and not wearing it is not a result – equally eye-catching!

After paying, I said to the prince with a bitter face: "Master, there is only a penny left on the slave, let's go back!" ”

"Bajie hasn't invited me to eat yet." Shizi put on a mask, and his voice was a little low.

"But the money is not enough, or I'll invite you another day!" I'm thinking that I won't have the chance to travel alone next time anyway, and everything will be fine if I survive today!

"Today's business is finished today, I still have to eat and go back!"

This kid is really solid-eyed! Let's eat early today! "Then master, did you choose something to eat?"

"There it is!" He pointed to a nearby restaurant. I saw that the restaurant was carved and painted, beautiful, and at a glance, I knew that it belonged to a high-end consumption place.

"Master," I swallowed with difficulty, "are you sure you must go there to eat?" ”

"Yes!" Lord Shiko replied without hesitation.

"I only have a penny on me, a minion." I don't give up on reconfirming.

"I know, so what?" He looked sideways at me, "Could it be...... Bajie, do you want to cheat? ”

Does he understand the meaning of a penny!? Can I expect this restaurant to launch 'penny' specials? Or do you hope that Shizi just wants to fill his stomach and buy two steamed buns to send away? But this is the son of the world, the most difficult lord in the world to serve!

And he really didn't say this to be an ordinary annoyance, who caused me to spend thirty dollars to buy that broken mask that didn't play any real role, and pushed me to the brink of bankruptcy!? Now I'm accusing me of trying to pay my bills!?

"How is that possible!" I shouted angrily, "Wherever the master says to go, we will go!" That restaurant is very good, just go there to eat! "Go and go, who is afraid of whom? If you really can't do it, just mortgage this kid to someone else! He looks worth a lot of money anyway!

As soon as Shizi and I entered, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face: "Second master, private room or lobby?" ”

"Lobby!" I don't know if there is a minimum consumption in the private room, or the lobby insurance point!

After finding a place by the window and sitting down, Xiao Er diligently handed over the menu and asked, "Second master, what do you want to eat?" ”

When I just wanted to ask what dish was the cheapest, Shizi had already read the menu very heroically: "Winter bamboo shoots and magnolia slices, osmanthus fish sticks, rouge goose breast, chicken pith bamboo shoots, cherry meat yam, crystal shrimp, mountain delicacies spiny dragon sprouts, stewed golden hook wings, vegetarian stewed three fresh pills......"

He said more than a dozen dishes freely, only scared me into sweating, any dish costs one or two taels of silver, even if he gave me, it can't be worth the money for this table of dishes! I can only interrupt halfway: "Master, do you want a treat?" ”

"No," he put down the menu and said solemnly, "It's Bajie Treat!" ”

I'm dizzy! You're not stupid! "But there are only two of us, and we can't finish ordering this!" I kindly reminded.

"You can taste it, why do you need to eat it?" He gave me a disdainful look and ordered two more dishes before closing the menu.

"Yes, this son is from a big family at first glance, and the connoisseurs who come to eat in our Jingxiang Building are all here to taste the freshness and taste, and how can anyone really eat the food cleanly." The shopkeeper walked on the side.

Cut! He is the son of the world, can he not be a big family!? The problem is that we have a penny on us now! When we settle the bill, little second brother, can you still keep this enthusiastic face!? But can I stop it now? The little two got the menu like Liu Xiang was possessed, and he disappeared in a flash. Before I could come to my senses, the table was already full of dishes.

This time, you will have to pay if you don't eat! Horizontal and vertical is death, rather than starving and emptying a bad reputation, it is better to be full of wine and food and die as you deserve!

I gobbled it up, and the chopsticks kept moving. Shizi behaves elegantly, only occasionally moves a chopstick, and eats extremely gently.

"Bajie," Shizi said suddenly.

"Huh?" I held a fish stick in my mouth and said inarticulately, "Master...... What's up? ”

"Is a penny enough to pay for the food?"

I squirted a pop on the table, "Master, do you think it's possible?" ”

"And what are you going to do?" I put down my chopsticks in disgust, and it was obvious that my 'spray' move just now had disturbed Yaxing, who was eating.

What to do? Cold! "I don't know, if you really don't become a slave, you're here as a slave." It's a waste not to eat such a good dish, not to mention that it is very likely to be my 'Last Supper'! After replying, I continued to work hard.

"Aren't you already in the palace? Can you do it again? He looked at me with his cheeks on his cheeks, a little puzzled.

"Could it be ......" The flame of hope ignited in my eyes: "Master, do you have silver taels on you?" ”

He palmed his palms upward, spread his hands, and shook his head.

Alas, hope is dashed, then we have to face reality! I took a large chopstick goose breast, put it in my mouth and chewed it while saying, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!" Eat it first, but what can you do now if you think so much? The two of us can't eat white food, even if we want to eat overlord meals, we have to have capital. I just looked at it, there are no less than 20 bodyguards here, and all of them are powerful, and I know at a glance that they are Lianjiazi. We can't beat them, and we will definitely only be beaten by Haibian at that time! Instead of being so passive, it is better to take the initiative to confess and listen to others, which is more enjoyable! ”

"You really don't have any money?" Shizi asked me with some suspicion.

"What do you say!?" I threw the chopsticks on the table with a snap, and I was angry: "I gave all the valuable things on my body to the Huzi family!" Originally, there were dozens of texts left, and I thought it would be enough for today's expenses, but I didn't know that you wanted me to buy chopsticks, and I chose an expensive mask to die for, and I didn't want to eat sweets, so I chose such an expensive restaurant! I'm just a slave, and I'm not a rich man, how can I have so many silver taels? ”

"Then why did you give all the money to the Huzi family?" He was standing straight up at me.

"Master! The minions gave all the money to the Huzi family because they needed it even more! I looked up and said, "Huzi Niang is sick, Huzi is young, and they can't get through the difficulties in front of them with their own efforts!" Although the money I gave was meager, if I could help cure Huziniang's illness, it would still be a family, and Huzi would not be reduced to a situation of being alone. ”

"If you can save it for a while, you can't save a lifetime." Shizi's eyes closed slightly, and the thick and slender eyelashes cast a heavy shadow under the eyes.

"Of course I know I can't save my life!" I looked at him with confidence: "However, only when people live can they have hope and the possibility of changing their fate!" And I believe that the mother and son will be happy, because they cherish each other, so they will definitely live better and better! ”

Shizi didn't speak, just stared at me with his glass-like eyes, and the amber pupils seemed to be faintly stained with gouache. After a long time, he said, "Let Xiao Er settle the bill!" ”

When I heard this, my expression was full of energy, and when I heard this, it suddenly turned into a frosted eggplant -- wilted. He beckoned to Xiao Er weakly, and asked timidly, "Little Second Brother, how much is it in total?" ”

Xiao Er replied brightly: "Back to the two masters, a total of thirty-two taels and eight coins of silver." ”

Oh my god! My regular salary in the palace is only five taels of silver a month, which is said to be equivalent to the salary level of white-collar workers in foreign companies, and the monthly salary in ordinary places is only two taels of silver at most! By this standard, wouldn't I have to do a year and a half of hard labor here to pay for this meal!?

What should be faced must be faced bravely, you can't run away! I was crying and was about to propose a plan to Xiao Er to 'repay the debt with my body', but I didn't expect the elegant voice of the prince to sound first.

"We didn't bring silver taels today!" Shizi went straight to the point, and my hair stood on end, waiting for the roar of the shopkeeper and the force of the bodyguards.

"Just use this to pay for food!" Hey? I looked up in surprise, only to see Shizi take out the hand towel he had used earlier and hand it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper suspiciously took a handkerchief and gave it to the shopkeeper, who was ecstatic when he saw it. When I came to confirm with us in disbelief that I was indeed willing to use this hand towel to offset today's meal money, I learned that this hand towel was Lijing's treasure Yunjin, and the price was 100 gold! No wonder this boss's beaming expression is that he dares to pick up a big bargain.

I went out of Shizuka Building safely and soundly, and I couldn't be happier. obviously said that it was okay for me to invite Shizi to eat, but now I have changed my role and it has become that he invited me to dinner. It feels like I owe him a big favor, and I feel extremely awkward.

"Master, ...... today" I felt embarrassed, and I didn't speak with my usual dexterity: "Thank you." The result is that you have landed on the object...... I'm so sorry! ”

Shizi picked up the moon god mask in his hand and raised it: "Just take it as a return gift for this!" ”

"But these are two different things." I said with annoyance.

The behavior I despise the most, I have done it all diligently tonight: indebtedness and dishonesty.

"Are you going to pay me back?" Shiko put on the mask, and all I could see was his eyes blinking.

Still? I'd like to pay it back, but can I afford it!? The price is worth 100 gold! You have taken me ten times, and it is estimated that it will not be able to reach the corner of that handkerchief, what will I take!

"That slave has more than enough heart but not enough power." I twisted my head to the side in frustration and didn't look at him. But he saw the lights flickering in the rivers on both sides, and suddenly a flash of inspiration: "Master, you and I come!" I have something for you."

Pulled him to run a few steps, and sure enough, there were many river lantern stalls on both sides of the riverbank. I exchanged two lotus-shaped river lanterns for a penny, borrowed paper from the boss, and smiled at Shizi: "I can't pay back the money, so I'll pay you back!" ”

Stuffed one in his hand: "It is said that if you put a river lantern before the Moon Festival, your wishes will come true!" ”

"My wish...... It will never happen. "His face was hidden behind the mask, and I couldn't see his expression, but I felt a kind of indifference.

"It's going to happen!" I picked up the paper in my hand and wrote my wish first: "If the voice of your wish is too small for the gods to hear, then ......" I held up the paper in my hand, "The voices of the two of us must be able to reach his ears, so your wish will definitely come true!" ”

What I wrote on that wishing paper was: I hope that the wish of the son of the world will come true!

I don't know what he wrote on the note, but I remember that he wrote with a focused expression when he wrote, and a very reverent demeanor when he put the lantern.

The candlelight of the river lamp glowed with a little golden light, and the prince sat on the bank of the river and quietly looked at the water, the perfect side profile was amazing. His expression became colder and colder, his eyes were deep and ethereal, and he felt like he was staring at the surface of the water but he didn't know where he was looking. A cool breeze struck, stirring up faint ripples on the water, and the candle flame rose and fell with the waves......

O gods of heaven, please let the son of the world fulfill his wish, let the mother and child live in peace and happiness, and let all people be happy......
