Chapter 278: Shishi: Master, don't just ask
After rinsing his mouth and spitting the mint water into the basin, Pei Xuanling raised his eyebrows, "What about those who are obsessed with incense?" How's it all going? ”
He had always slept lightly, and he heard movement outside last night.
Thinking that Huang Dechang would definitely come to report to him if something happened, he fell asleep again.
In addition, as early as when Jiang Liangdi asked everyone to drink the antidote in advance, he was prepared in his heart.
Therefore, now hearing Huang Dechang's report is considered to be his expectation.
"If you go back to Your Highness, the person who gave us incense is the shopkeeper of this inn." Huang Dechang reported the situation of last night's interrogation to the prince one by one, "Last night, the servants interrogated the shop overnight, only to know that this is a black shop, and the gang behind it is still those mine owners. ”
"This inn is close to the mine, they help the mine to keep guard, and arrest both women and strong men, those strong men are sent to the mine to work as coolies, and the women are sent to various Taoist temples to cheat ......"
When Huang Dechang and the prince reported the matter, Yu Bing on the side brought a basin of water to Jiang Shishi, and said to Jiang Shishi in a rather uncomfortable tone: "Thank you for last night's incident......"
Hearing Yu Bing's thanks, Huang Dechang also smiled and said to Jiang Shishi: "Isn't it, Jiang Liangdi, last night's incident, fortunately you let us drink the antidote in advance, otherwise half of our people would have been taken away." ”
"It's just a matter of effort." Jiang Shiyun replied lightly.
The plot in the book is what Huang Dechang said, half of the guards were taken captive.
And because there were several guards outside the door of the prince's guest room, the prince and the guards around him escaped the catastrophe.
But Yu Bing and the rest of the guards were abducted by the shopkeeper overnight.
Although the prince finally found them, it took a lot of trouble.
The guards were men, and they were sent to another mine to work as coolies for a few days, but it was nothing to them.
As for Yu Liangdi, who was taken captive to the Taoist temple, she almost became a plaything on the bed of a local merchant.
Although she was not defiled, a woman was captured by gangsters for a few days, and her reputation was gone.
A woman like Yu Liangdi is already different from ordinary women, and after she lost her reputation innocently, her personality became more and more cold and weird.
After getting along these days, Jiang Shishi actually admires Yu Liangdi's character, so she is willing to help.
And those guards, everyone has been getting along for a while, and they can help if they can.
If something happens to them, and she and the prince are short of manpower, the prince will not ignore them, and he will have to delay things by spending time to find them.
Anyway, Yu Liangdi and the guards are cannon fodder in the book, and even if she helps them avoid trouble, she won't have much of a spoiler reaction.
To be exact, from helping them avoid trouble last night, she has not felt any discomfort in her body.
So, why not?
Jiang Shishi washed her face with a towel, and she caught a glimpse of the prince staring at her directly.
Touching her cheeks, Jiang Shishi asked in surprise: "Your Highness, haven't you washed your concubine's face?" ”
Pei Xuanling: "It's a little unclean, you wash it again." ”
Huang Dechang looked at Jiang Liangdi's white-washed face, and wondered, Jiang Liangdi's face was washed quite clean, why did His Highness let her wash it again?
But he didn't dare to ask, he didn't dare to say, he could only watch Jiang Liangdi wash her face again.
At this moment, Pei Xuanling was quite puzzled in his heart.
thought that Jiang Liangdi would faint or vomit blood after helping so many people avoid trouble, but who knew that she was actually like no one.
Not to mention fainting, I saw that the woman was in good spirits and didn't seem to feel a little uncomfortable.
Could it be that he is overthinking?
She helps people avoid disaster and will not be counterattacked?
Or is it just to help him avoid trouble that he will suffer a serious backlash?
The store was taken down by them, and on this day, Pei Xuanling simply stayed in this inn and reviewed the letters sent from all over the room in the guest room.
Jiang Shishi had nothing to do, so she read a book in the house.
She found a strange thing, that is, the prince liked to stare at her at every turn.
It's like now, when she was reading a book, and when she looked up, she saw the prince staring straight at her.
In those sharp and deep ink pupils, in addition to looking... Still seems to have a hint of doubt?
**
In the next few days, because he had to wait for the people below to find out about the mine, there was nothing else to do for the time being, so Pei Xuanling took Jiang Shishi to play in Shu for a few days, and tasted local food by the way.
On this day and night, Pei Xuanling finished handling official business during the day, and took Jiang Shishi to visit a food street in Shudi at night.
With Jiang Shishi's appetite, whenever she sees a favorite delicacy, she has to order the signature food in the store.
Pei Xuanling and the guards didn't eat dinner, and at the beginning, Pei Xuanling and the guards also bought some food.
Until the woman ate from the street to the shop in the middle, Pei Xuanling couldn't eat it.
Even the burly guards shook their heads one after another, clutching their bulging bellies, indicating that they couldn't eat anymore.
Only Jiang Shishi can still enjoy the food.
What else can Pei Xuanling do, he can only patiently accompany the woman to continue shopping.
Just like at this moment, Jiang Shishi said to the shopkeeper: "Boss, bring me a rouge goose breast." ”
"Two servings, boss." On the side, Pei Xuanling spoke clearly.
"Master, didn't you just say you're full?" Jiang Shishi looked at the man in surprise, and then looked at the guards who were mixed in the crowd, "They are also full, why do you order two portions?" ”
Pei Xuanling: "It is estimated that I will leave Shu in a few days, and I will be in a hurry at that time, there must be nothing delicious on the road, like this kind of dried meat, you can put it for a while, do you want to buy more, and take it to you on the road to eat at that time?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Shishi pursed her lips, and her heart warmed.
It turned out that he bought an extra one so that she could eat better on the way.
Jiang Shishi was about to nod her head in response, when suddenly, a few passers-by on the side pointed at her.
A bitter old woman said on the side: "This little lady has eaten so much, I saw her eat all the way from the street to here, and now she actually ordered a piece of dried meat, no wonder her body is so round." ”
Immediately afterwards, a young man on the side also said: "At night, even I, as a man, don't dare to eat more, she still eats so much, it's strange that she doesn't get fat." ”
There was also a slender woman who looked at Jiang Shishi with disdain: "Tut-tut... Eating this kind of stuff is the most fattening, and her man doesn't care, even if she wants to buy two servings, what a big stomach......"
As a man, Pei Xuanling is always bad at scolding a woman on the street, he just uses a murderous look to sweep towards the nosy people around him.
In the face of his sharp and murderous eyes, those who talked nonsense were silent.
At the same time, Huang Dechang also said on the side: "It is a blessing to be able to eat, I have a good appetite for my wife, and I didn't eat your rice, I didn't spend your money, I want you to be nosy?!"
"Moreover, no matter how mellow my lady is, my grandfather still spoils her, unlike you, no matter how slender she is, she still doesn't go to the night market alone? I think you're jealous! ”
Some women are indeed jealous of Jiang Shishi's round figure, but there are gentle and handsome men around her.
Now that Huang Dechang has pierced his mind, he left in disgrace.
Yu Bing threw the snake spear to the ground heavily, "My snake spear is nosy for meddlers, who wants to say more... Try it as soon as possible! ”
Seeing this, no one dared to meddle anymore and dispersed in a hurry.
At this time, the boss who sold dried meat smiled and comforted Jiang Shishi: "Little lady, I think you have a pretty good figure, as long as your family doesn't dislike you, you don't have to care about other people's eyes, by the way, do you want one or two copies of this dried meat." ”
"Leave those people alone." Pei Xuanling also said to Jiang Shishi: "Don't say buy two servings of this dried meat, no matter how much you eat, the master will buy it for you, do you want to buy a few more servings?" ”
Although everyone dispersed, this is a night market, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians around, Jiang Shishi has just been pointed at by so many people, and she is embarrassed to ask for more.
She replied with a lack of interest: "No... Just one serving is enough. ”
"Okay!" After the store responded, he wrapped a rouge goose breast for Jiang Shishi in a paper bag.
After buying rouge goose breast, Jiang Shishi continued to shop in the food street while eating goose breast.
When she comes to the food she wants to eat, she will still order some to taste.
When Pei Xuanling saw the food that could be stored for a few more days, he would also ask the woman if she wanted to order more.
But every time the woman said "don't" with interest, and gradually, he didn't ask more.
Then he noticed that the woman seemed even more upset.
"What's wrong? But tired? Or are you overwhelmed? Do you want to go back to the inn to rest? Pei Xuanling asked out loud.
"......" Jiang Shishi pursed her lips before responding to the man after a long time, "When I buy snacks, why don't you ask me if I want to buy more?" ”
Pei Xuanling: "I saw that you kept shaking your head and saying no, so I didn't ask any more." ”
"I said no, so you won't buy more......?" Jiang Shishi muttered quietly.
This journey has been the hardest time in her past and present lives combined.
After leaving Shu in a few days, it is estimated that there will be another battle of life and death.
She doesn't care about anything else, she just cares about this little appetite.
When the time comes, you have to eat better to be worthy of yourself.
"So, do you want to buy a few more copies so that you can take them with you on the road in a few days?" Looking at the woman's temper tantrum, Pei Xuanling was not only angry, but felt that she was strange and cute.
Jiang Shishi didn't answer the man's words directly, she just said: "Do you know... Sometimes women say no, but they actually mean ......"
"I really don't know." Pei Xuanling chuckled, raised his hand and pinched the woman's angry and round face, "But... I know now. ”
So, when he came across the food that women like to eat, if he could store it for a few more days, Pei Xuanling would symbolically ask the woman a few words at first.
Regardless of whether the woman said yes or no, he bought a few more copies.
Gradually, the originally sullen woman had more smiles on her face.
Pei Xuanling inadvertently turned his head, and saw the woman pursing her lips and smiling sweetly, smiling with satisfaction.
That smile was like a touch of warm sun, shining into Pei Xuanling's heart, making the haze accumulated in recent days all dissipate.
The woman's delicate smile gave Pei Xuanling motivation, and then, he simply didn't ask the woman, and directly bought a few more snacks she loved to eat.
caused Huang Dechang to follow behind the two and desperately pay the silver.
At the end of the walk, everyone returned with a full load.
There is one bad thing about Shudi, that is, there is little rainfall, and the local people are very water-saving.
These days, even Jiang Shishi and the prince rarely bathe, and most of them scrub their bodies with towels dipped in water.
After a night of shopping in the food street today, both of them were sweating a lot, and they were also stained with a lot of food smells, so they must have taken a bath.
Therefore, as soon as Pei Xuanling returned to the inn, he asked Huang Dechang to prepare water.
Huang Dechang filled the bathtub in the guest room with more than half a bucket of water and closed the door.
For a while, only Jiang Shishi and the prince were left in the guest room.
After Jiang Shishi waited for the prince to change his clothes, she found a clean towel on Mu Shi and prepared to serve the man to bathe as usual.
Who knew that the man raised his feet and got into the bathtub, scrubbed himself with a towel, and sent an invitation to Jiang Shishi, "Take off your clothes and come in and bathe with Lone." ”
"Huh?" Jiang Shishi looked at the man with a shocked face!
Pei Xuanling: "Are you just yelling to take a bath?" ”
"The concubine does want to bathe, but I plan to wait for you to bathe before bathing alone."
Because, when she was in other places before, she bathed alone after she served the prince to bathe.
Either there is a bed between the two, one on the left and the other on the right, separated by a hazy bed tent.
"There is little water in this place, and it is difficult for the local people to even drink water, so we have to save water and not waste it." Pei Xuanling said without changing his face.
If other men and Jiang Shishi said this, Jiang Shishi seriously suspected that the other party had ulterior motives.
But the prince did not smile when he spoke, and it was the first time that the prince made such a request.
What bad intentions can a man like the prince have, he must be sympathetic to the local people's water difficulties, so he asked the two to bathe together.
Jiang Shishi looked at the oval bath tub, which was quite spacious, hesitated to say "yes", and began to change clothes one by one.
In a short time, she wore a mint-colored belly pocket and obscene pants, and lifted her foot into the bathtub.
When the prince was alone in this bathtub, Jiang Shishi looked quite spacious.
Now that she's in, too, it's a little tight.
If neither of them moves, it's okay, and they can get along safely.
But if both of them are in the bath, I'm afraid that they will fight with their arms.
Jiang Shishi hung her head and said a little crampedly: "Your Highness, the concubine will wait for you to bathe first, right?" ”
The eyes fell on the woman, the mint-colored belly pocket lined the woman's skin than snow, and the belly pocket was held up high by her graceful figure, and the hem hung a lot of gaps.
The Adam's apple rolled slightly, and Pei Xuanling said lightly: "You have fine skin and tender meat, you wash it first." ”
"Oh." Since the prince said so, Jiang Shishi didn't say anything polite to him, moved her body slightly, sat back to back in the bathtub with the man, and began to take a bath by herself.
From the slightly raised chin, to the collarbones and shoulders, to the arms......
When she finished scrubbing before she died, she was about to rub the towel across her back a few times, and the feeling of a towel rubbing her back came from her back.
Jiang Shishi was slightly startled, she didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince, who had always been cold and noble, would take the initiative to work as a bath worker for her!
