Chapter 9: Chance Encounters at the Bazaar
In the bazaar on Hongqingcheng Street, both sides of the road are occupied by some small merchants and vendors, some of them sell face paint, some sell candy people, some sell some small headdresses, small jewelry, and some jugglers, monkeys, all kinds of performers, people come and go.
Among the people who visited the market, some young women tried on their faces again, and turned their heads to ask the little maid next to them if they looked good.
Yes, it is a young couple around the vendor selling some headdresses and small jewelry, haggling with the headdress in hand, and a group of children wandering around the candy gourd seller, staring at the sugar gourd, reluctant to leave.
Mo Xuelian, Lin Hongwan and Sun Yueling came to the market, they were strolling around and looking at some fresh gadgets, and they were attracted by a group of people, and the three of them squeezed into the crowd curiously.
I saw that the group of people formed a circle, and then in the center of the circle, a middle-aged man was bare-chested and breathing fire in the mouth of the performance.
Then the man drank a large bowl of wine, and then, holding a torch in his hand, stretched out in front of him, and then a yellow flame more than a meter long erupted from his mouth, and after a minute, the flame disappeared, and then, the crowd of onlookers applauded one after another, and some people shouted in the crowd for another one, another one.
Mo Xuelian and the three of them also applauded with the crowd when they saw this scene, and the three of them laughed happily while clapping.
Then, I saw another man in a big coat standing next to the middle-aged man who breathed fire, and he walked towards the crowd of onlookers with a tray in his hand.
As he walked, he said to the crowd of onlookers, "Thank you, thank you." "I'm begging for a reward.
As for the onlookers, some people gave more than ten copper coins for the reward, and some gave one or two copper plates less.
At this time, the man in the coat walked in front of Mo Xuelian and the others, holding the tray in his hand, and then, I saw a silver ingot appear in the tray, which was given by Sun Yueling.
The man in the coat saw a silver ingot appear in the tray, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Thank you very much, Miss Noble, may Miss make her wish come true. Then he walked on to the next man.
Just the moment when Sun Yueling took out the silver, a pair of gloomy eyes appeared beside him, and then the eyes nodded into the distance, and silently withdrew from the crowd, but these three people didn't notice.
"Sister Yueling, why are you giving him so much, if you want to give, just give a few copper coins. ”
Lin Hongwan saw that Sun Yueling had given so much silver, and said with some distress.
Sun Yueling looked at Lin Hongwan with a smile, "They are all performing in the rivers and lakes, it's not easy, Miss Ben is in a good mood today, so I'll give more." ”
Mo Xuelian nodded after hearing this, "It's not easy to go to the rivers and lakes to perform arts, I am a child from a poor family, I can understand it best, Sister Yueling is really good-hearted." ”
Sun Yueling smiled embarrassedly after hearing this, "Let's go, let's go shopping somewhere else." So, the three of them also withdrew from the crowd of onlookers and continued to wander around the market.
When the three of them walked and walked, they also walked out of a distance of fifty or sixty meters, and suddenly a person in front of them bumped into Sun Yueling, Sun Yueling stumbled and fell to the side, Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan saw this, and immediately ran forward to help Sun Yueling up.
"Sister Yueling, are you okay. ”
"My money bag is gone. Sun Yueling stood up, and then found that the money bag in her arms was missing, and her face was anxious.
Mo Xuelian immediately reflected, "It must have been stolen by the person who hit you just now." So the three of them immediately shouted: "Catch the thief, catch the thief." ”
Mo Xuelian shook her body while the two of them were not paying attention, and chased in the direction of the thief, and Lin Hongwan and Sun Yueling also ran away when they saw this.
At this time, a man in gray suddenly appeared in the crowd on the side of the road and ran towards the thief.
Mo Xuelian chased after her and saw that she had a very high wall, and then, she stretched forward with one hand, only to see that in the direction of the thief's escape, there was a high wall like the one around.
The thief ran and ran, there was a wall in front of him, and the thief thought depressedly, this is not right, I grew up here, when did there be a wall here, I can't care so much, so I was in a hurry and left the money bag to the person who answered him not far away.
Seeing that the thief threw the money bag at another person, Mo Xuelian immediately raised her hand to make the illusion disappear, and then turned around and chased after the person who answered.
At this moment, the man in gray also chased here, just blocked the thief who came to him, and then subdued the thief with three punches and two feet, and snatched the money bag back.
"The next time I catch you, it's not as easy as it is now. The man in gray warned.
The thief had no choice but to beg for mercy when he saw that he was subdued, and then the man in gray let the thief go.
At this time, Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian also chased here, and when they saw the man in gray snatching the money bag back, they were relieved.
Then, Sun Yueling walked up to the man in gray, "Thank you, Son, for snatching the little woman's money bag back." ”
The man in gray glanced at Sun Yueling with appreciation in his eyes, "Miss is kind-hearted, I just saw that Miss gave her a piece of silver for selling art, how can I let the thief snatch Miss's money bag." ”
Sun Yueling was embarrassed when she heard this, "Childe is willing to help others, and he is also very kind." ”
The gray-clothed man's eyes showed a hint of admiration, "Under Chen Hongsheng, I don't know the name of the young lady." ”
Sun Yueling saw the burning heat in the eyes of the man in gray, and his face turned crimson, "Little woman Sun Yueling." ”
After speaking, he gave a salute to Chen Hongsheng and then walked towards Lin Hongwan, at this time, Mo Xuelian also returned to Lin Hongwan, and the three of them left here.
Chen Hongsheng looked at Sun Yueling's departing back, he saw the jade pendant on Sun Yueling's waist, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then there was a warm current, flowing to his heart, causing a ripple in his heart.
At this time, the servant beside Chen Hongsheng ran to him, "Young Master, it's not early, Young Master Qiu and Young Master Han are still waiting for you in the teahouse, if you don't leave, we will be late." ”
Chen Hongsheng nodded after hearing this, "Let's go." So, the two of them also left here and walked in the direction of the teahouse.
When he arrived at the teahouse, Chen Hongsheng saw Han Bo and Qiu Yu, who were already waiting there to drink tea, the two were sitting by the window, and they also happened to see him go up to the teahouse.
"Chen Hongsheng, why are you here, we have been waiting for you here for a while. ”
Chen Hongsheng smiled and apologized, "I encountered a robber on the road, and I helped someone, so I came late." ”
Han Bo had a malicious smile in his eyes after hearing this, "The person you are helping is a girl, how is it, is that girl pretty? It must be beautiful, isn't it?"
Chen Hongsheng heard a serious knock on Han Bo's head.
"What are you thinking, is Young Master Ben such a superficial person? Even if that girl is not beautiful, Young Master Ben will help, that girl is the young lady of the Sun family of the five great families, you should have heard of it. ”
Qiu Yu and Han Bo nodded understandingly, and then, seeing Chen Hongsheng's serious appearance, the two of them suddenly had.... Ha.... Burst out laughing. So, Chen Hongsheng sat down and drank tea with the two.
After Mo Xuelian and the three of them snatched back the money bag, they continued to wander around the market, and after about half an hour, the three of them came to a stall selling small jewelry, and Lin Hongwan was attracted by one of the blue hairpins.
She picked up the hairpin and tried it on, and asked Mo Xuelian and Sun Yueling beside her, "Is it good-looking?" Both of them thought it looked good.
"Boss, how much is this hairpin? Lin Hongwan asked.
The boss looked at it, "This hairpin has ten copper plates." ”
"Xue Lian, Sister Yueling, you two should also buy this hairpin, in this way, how good it would be for each of the three of us. ”
Mo Xuelian and Sun Yueling also thought that this idea was good, so the three of them bought exactly the same hairpin, and then they asked the boss to engrave the last word of each person's name on it, carefully put it away, and continued to shop.
The three of them walked around, Sun Yueling felt a little tired, so she looked at Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian beside her.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first, and if you two have had enough, go back. ”
"Then sister, let's go back first, Xuelian and I are going back too. So, Sun Yueling separated from the two and walked in the direction of Sun's mansion.
At this time, Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian also walked in the direction of Lin Mansion, when the two of them walked near the teahouse, Qiu Yu in the teahouse happened to look out the window at the crowd on the street, and then, he saw a shadow from the crowd, very familiar, and thought: "Is it her?"
Then, he stood up and looked at Han Bo and Chen Hongsheng.
"I suddenly remembered that there were still some things to do, so I won't compensate you for now. With that, he walked out of the teahouse quickly and chased in the direction of the shadow.
"This kid doesn't know what's urgent, forget it, the two of us continue to drink tea. ”
Han Bo also agreed, "Next time, we will ask him to invite, who let him go first this time." So, the two stayed in the teahouse and continued to drink tea.
After Qiu Yu chased out, he looked around in the crowd for the shadow that remained in his heart, and looked for a while, and suddenly, he saw the shadow and a woman talking and laughing while walking.
He saw that someone was beside her, and he didn't dare to come forward to disturb him, so he quietly followed, not too far from the two of them, until he reached the Lin Mansion, and only stopped when he saw the two of them walk into the Lin Mansion.
After Qiu Yu saw the two of them entering, he thought: "Finally let me find you, no wonder I sent someone to find the family surnamed Mo near the mountain forest, but I didn't find you, it turns out that you live in the Lin Mansion, I didn't expect you to have a relationship with the Lin Mansion." ”
As he thought, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and a deep, bright light appeared in his eyes. Then, after standing there and thinking for a long time, he also left here and walked in the direction of his residence.
After Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan returned to the Lin Mansion, the two returned to their rooms separately, and at this time, it was dinner time.
"Xuelian, are you back, did the young lady take you out?" Hongru looked at Mo Xuelian and asked suspiciously.
"Yes, it was Hongwan who took me out, Miss Lin asked me not to call Miss in the future, just call her Hongwan. “
Hongru frowned and was a little angry after hearing this.
"Even if this is the case, you must do your duty in the future, don't go beyond the rules, and just be a good accompaniment to the young lady. “
"Got it, Mother, I know what I have to do. ”
Hongru nodded after hearing this, put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and the two of them began to eat, and after eating, they cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together, and cleaned up the house while chatting, and after sitting for a while, the two went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
