Chapter 25 A visit to the bazaar
Yu Gongzi has been in the village for five days, but I have not told him interesting stories about the village. Maybe it's because he's afraid that he'll leave after collecting the materials for writing the book, and he should be selfish when he's so big.
Today, under the pretext of visiting the village, I coaxed the jade prince to hang out with me. Originally, he wanted to go to Nantang Village, but he wanted to go to the market in the distance, saying that he wanted to see the world.
Well, that's right. A scholar is naturally not proficient in equestrianism, and it is really troublesome to go to a distant place. Now that the "Jade Beauty" has spoken, the owner of the village is naturally satisfied.
The spring is murmuring, rubbing shoulders with pebbles, splashing a little bit of crystal. I took the jade boy to gallop on a horse, and saw a big snowball squatting next to the stream from a distance, and he was curled up, with a bamboo building resting beside him.
As if hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the big snowball turned his head and said angrily: "Who is coming, don't startle my daughter-in-law in the waterββ"
Belch...... What the?
I tugged at the reins and slowly stopped in front of him.
"I'm sorry, we're going to the market on the other side of the woods, and we're probably bothering you by passing through here. β
I looked down at him, but the man didn't look at me, only rolled his eyes and continued to stare at the stream, "Alas, the good daughter-in-law was scared away by you. β
"It's too windy, I didn't hear clearly. I pursed my lips and said with relief, "My daughter-in-law will always catch it." β
"You don't know how long I've been waiting. Snowball let out a long sigh and stood up.
Hey, what a young man in white, he is somewhat similar to Yu Gongzi.
"Uncle?" he blinked dryly, and then grabbed Yu Gongzi's leg, "Uncle, you came to see me!"
"Uh...... If you have something to say, say it well. "I jumped off my horse and pulled Snowball's hand away.
"Hey, aren't you the uncle's daughter-in-law?"
I'm a big girl with yellow flowers, and I haven't even talked about love, how did I become someone else's wife?
"The little boy Xu recognized the wrong person, and he has never been anyone's uncle. Yu Gongzi also dismounted, paused his sleeves, and smiled at him.
The big snowball looked him left and right, and suddenly reached out and lifted his sleeve, and the lake blue beads suddenly came into view.
"It's you, it's you! This bead string is the only one in the world that my uncle owns, and you are my uncle!"
"This string of beads has been worn on the wrist since birth, how can it be someone else's. β
"You're all dressed in white, and you look pretty alike. I saw the embarrassed faces of the people around me, and quipped, "Did Childe do something wrong when he was a teenager and caused an undeserved affair?"
Yu Gongzi frowned and glanced at me coldly.
I shuddered and pursed my lips, "Uh, how else...... Let's go, let this little boy fish for his daughter-in-law in peace. β
Yu Gongzi nodded and got on the horse with me. Seeing this, Big Snowball's eyes rolled slightly, and suddenly said, "It's me who admits it, I admit it." I know a shortcut to the bazaar, want to know?"
"Little boy, please speak. β
"Follow the creek, cross the first wooden bridge, and walk through the woods. With that, a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
After thanking the big snowball, we followed the shortcut he had said, followed the creek, crossed the first wooden bridge, entered the forest, and turned left and right to see a small river.
The water was tumbling, and there was a woman squatting by the river. She was dressed in a light blue cloth shirt, her black hair was loosely curled behind her head, and her slender hands were as bright as jade, reflecting green waves, as if they were transparent.
"This girl, may I ask...... "I can't see the way, so I have to come forward and disturb me."
She put the clothes in her hand into the tub and turned around. The god is like autumn water, the corners of the mouth are smiling, and they take a step together, and the lightness of the body is full of beauty, which makes me dumbfounded for a while.
Unexpectedly, she on the other side also looked at me with a surprised look.
Am I so beautiful that I am her......
"How do you get to the bazaar? There was a young man over there, who said there was a shortcut, but we got lost. β
When she heard this, she sneered, "He wants to fish for his daughter-in-law and drive me here to do laundry, and you have been coaxed over." β
Yu Gongzi's eyes lit up, he took a step forward, and smiled toothily, "I don't know if the girl can show us a clear way." β
Tut-tut, superficial guy, very proactive.
"Wouldn't it be better for you two to ride on horses and I to run after them. I muttered quietly and rolled my eyes secretly, but I didn't expect to be completely listened to by Yu Gongzi.
He lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and deliberately quipped, "But Xiaosheng doesn't know how to control horses, so he still has to worry about Gu Pan's girl." β
"You!"
Well, I remembered.
"You two...... Don't you know me?" the girl pondered for a moment, slammed her fist on her palm, and whispered, "Oh, maybe it's a tribulation. β
"What?"
"No, no, no. She waved her hand, curled her eyes, and said, "I know the way, it's not far." You should first tie the horses here, and go with me, there is no one here, don't worry, you won't lose it." β
Yu Gongzi bowed his head slightly, "Thank you, girl." β
Okay, I'm very quick to answer.
"Well said, well said!" she was beautiful but uninhibited, and she brushed her wet hands on the hem of her skirt and arched her hands towards us.
"I don't know what you two call you?
Brocade, seeking.
The stone wall by the river echoes these two words in our ears. Flowing water trickled and circled between the stones, meandering into the distance.
At the time, I didn't understand.
It turns out that some people and some things, no matter how many times they are reincarnated, will remain in their soft hearts, and they may become lighter, shallow, or even become another feeling, but no matter what, they can't be erased and can't be destroyed.
......
The market is crowded with people, and you can hear the sound of selling from time to time, and it is very lively. I walked between the two of them with my hands behind my back, trying to block out any eye contact.
As it turned out, it was in vain......
"Oh, this headband is so beautiful and a perfect match for you. Jin Mi stretched out his hand and pulled out a white hairband with a pattern, and held it up for comparison, "What do you think, little fish fairy...... Uh, Jade Child. β
Yu Gongzi lifted his sleeves, passed his arms in front of me, took the headband, and looked at it with a low brow.
"This boy has an excellent temperament, and it is a perfect match for this headband, so buy it!" said the peddler, smiling earnestly, boasting to himself.
"What do you think?" Jinmi's round eyes winked at me, very smart.
I pursed my lips and grabbed a red headband from the stall, "Well, I think this one looks good." β
"White clothes with red belts......" Jin Mi Pingbai smelled some vinegar, and said with a smile, "Very good, very good!"
"Then this one. Yu Gongzi put the white headband on the stall, but pulled out the one in my hand, carefully folded it into his sleeve, and took out a few grains of broken silver and gave it to the vendor.
The crowd was bustling and turned into a blurred line, highlighting him only in front of my eyes.
"You two eyebrows, but you tell me how to be good. Jinmi's smile piled up on his face, and his eyes were like two crystal grapes, "Let's go ahead and stroll, I'll go back later." I wanted to keep the two of you for the night, but there was no extra bed in the house, which is a pity. β
"It doesn't matter. Yu Gongzi smiled on his lips, "We understand the girl's beauty." β
He said all the good things, and I couldn't interject, so I had to nod my head to cater to him.
Later, Miss Jinmi took us to the market for a general visit, and introduced local snacks without stopping, and her temperament was very lively. After a few snacks together, we went back to the woods with her, and led the horses to find a place to stay tonight.
It's not a big place, and there are more people. When night fell, the inn was still full, and it was impractical to rush back to the village overnight, which was really a headache. The two of us wandered the streets like this, and when we saw that the population was getting smaller, we couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Yu Gongzi, I think it's time to make some decisions. β
He looked sideways at me and took the horse's hand for a moment.
"Right now, I have to go there for one night, and I don't believe it's full. β
He swallowed his throat and looked down at my hand, where there was a big plaque hanging between the colors - Yihong Courtyard.
"No, you can't. β
"Why not?" the other side refused categorically, but sleepiness hit, so I had to approach him and say earnestly, "I will dress up as a man, and I will protect you well." β
He looked away, frowning.
"Okay?" I pitifully lowered the corners of my mouth and raised my eyebrows into a figure-of-eight.
The stars in the night sky blinked and twinkled in his eyes. The other side was silent for a long time, and reluctantly responded.
