Chapter 17: The White-Faced Gentleman

In the past, when the light rain was in the villa, every time it was time, the candle flame was extinguished in the villa to prepare for rest, and the rare night sleep was to secretly watch the fireflies in midsummer with the lotus in the summer.

It's a pity that the forests in the villa are lush and susceptible to mosquitoes, and every time the incense of mosquito repellent is smoked, it is inevitable that you will get a pimple bag when you go out for a walk.

It is Jiang Xi's work and rest that is like the old nun in the Taoist temple.

When I came to this elephant shed, I realized that the nightlife of the people at that time was so rich, and I couldn't help but be eye-opening and breathtaking.

A tattered fence blocks off the inside and outside, dividing a glamorous and mysterious fantasy world.

The day and night here are reversed, and there is no difference between the high and the low, and there is no difference between the high and the low. Even the beggars on the street can come here to have fun, drunk drunkards lying on the side of the street, smiling and scolding with their palms crossed their necks, and they are in a state of harmony.

The long street is full of traffic, pedestrians rub shoulders one after another, and beside the narrow passage, there are dense street vendors, some carry the burden along the street to sell, and some have the car to set up floating shops.

The drinks and food sold are also varied and dazzling.

There are many Jiang Xi who have never heard of it, and she thinks that she doesn't know when she can come out next time, so she takes Qianhe and lets go, if necessary, she tastes everything, and even Boyan Suze is stuffed with a lot of food.

What bacon, roasted peppers, mutton fat leek cakes, bad crabs, bad sheep's trotters, spicy canned lungs, spicy vegetarian soup, fine powdered heads, ginger shrimp, fat skin...

When they came out of this small food stall, Jiang Xi and Qianhe already had round bellies, red lips, and a circle of oil at the corners of their mouths, looking like they couldn't hold up.

"Wow! It's spicy..."

Jiang Xi took a breath and couldn't help but raise her hand and fan: "Why is the food in this market so heavy and spicy..."

Qianhe's already spicy tongue was numb and she couldn't speak, so she nodded her head again and again and echoed Jiang Xi.

Boyan Suze dutifully played the role of a servant, holding an oil-paper bag containing all kinds of food in his hand and following behind the master and servant.

I'm afraid you don't know that there is a famine in the southern border counties of Dayan, there is no bark and grass to eat, and the people are so hungry that they can eat. Although the people of this capital city have no worries about being full, they can only eat some of the viscera of poultry and animals.

Soon Jiang Xi's attention was drawn to the fireworks that bloomed in the night sky, and many children crossed the street together, all holding grimace masks in their hands.

She is only eleven or twelve years old now, not much older than those children, but she is usually taught by the master, and her every move is in accordance with the royal rules, and there are very few activities that can be called entertainment, and there is less innocence of those children on her body, and more of the elegance of deep palace dogma.

However, she was originally free, and once she was in this environment, she quickly broke free from those shackles, and suddenly took Qihe's hand and walked towards the mask shop with interest.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to look back and remind the hard-working little guy behind me to keep up.

Boyan Suize looked at the pair of black and white eyes full of smiles, and suddenly remembered a lamb he met when he was a child.

At that time, he was only five years old, and was thrown into the mountains by the Khan's concubine, and he trekked for a long time in the dense forest with the wind and snow howling, and did not see a living creature, and accidentally fell off a cliff, thinking that he would surely die, but who knew that he heard the faint cry of a lamb.

He knew that he didn't have to die, that there was only a newborn lamb in the cave, and that his eyes were as innocent as this little girl.

He killed the lamb to drink blood and flesh, occupied its burrow, and even killed its parents when they went out to feed.

Spent the winter in that cave with a blizzard raging.

To this day, it was still difficult for him to look directly into such eyes, so when the little girl looked at her with joy, he couldn't help but lower his eyelids.

Jiang Xi didn't doubt him, and soon set his eyes on the various grimace masks on the paving, and chose them with great interest.

These grimace masks are used for frolic, and if they can scare people into jumping their feet, that's why most of them are ugly.

She first picked out a blue-faced mask with crooked mouth and slanted eyes and a long tongue for Jiang Xi: "Sister Qianhe, look, this one is perfect for you!" At first glance, it looks like a starving ghost! "

Qianhe was in a good mood to choose her favorite mask, but who knew that Miss was cold and came up with such a sentence, and suddenly jumped to her feet angrily: "The slave looks like a hanged ghost, and it is no more suitable for Miss!" "

"Nonsense! I'm so beautiful! Even if you hang yourself, you won't be so ugly! "

This master and servant started to fight in the street, and it took a while to stop, and after paying the money, one of them walked towards Boyan Suze with an ugly mask.

Without that eye-catching peach blossom face, coupled with messy hair and a little dusty dress, she became an ordinary girl who was not very eye-catching in the crowd.

Jiang Xi's interest was very high, and she picked a bull head mask for her novice by the way.

Boyan Suze saw the little girl with a ghost face suddenly appear in front of him, and he wanted to scare him off guard.

Seeing that the man in front of him had a cold face and no reaction, Jiang Xi suddenly felt disappointed, threw the bull head mask in his hand to him, and led Qianhe away without looking back.

Bo Yan Suze took the mask, frowned imperceptibly, and then hooked the corners of his lips.

The tail behind him followed for a long time, and he couldn't shake off the two girls who ran wildly in the dense crowd for so long, and he didn't know where it was sacred.

It's getting more and more interesting.

The person behind him is Yan Junyu's personal servant Cheng Yu, the rumored ruthless killer who kills without seeing blood.

At this moment, he was mixed in the crowded flow of people, and he followed Jiang Xi and his party not far away, and it was just a trivial matter to hide in him, but the young lady's newly acquired little house aroused his great interest.

The black eyes were cold, and he followed closely with his sword, and he happened to meet an old acquaintance looking around, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and he wanted to laugh.

His Highness's bad taste is really hard to handle.

The person who came was Xu Song, who was looking for Jiang Xi everywhere, caught the Luqi man today, and tortured him several times before he realized that the girl he saved was the maid of the young lady, and the delicate girl who thanked him was the fiancée of His Royal Highness.

I regretted it for a while, but fortunately, Miss was safe.

When I asked him where Miss had gone, he didn't know anything, only that she was followed by a gray-haired and gray-eyed steppe man with a burly figure who was easy to find.

Searching all the way, it is late at night, and the inns and restaurants in the city have already been checked one by one, leaving only this Shengjing city that never sleeps - elephant shed.

However, this place has always been crowded with people and the streets are complicated, so it is not easy to find someone.

Xu Song, who had been rummaging here for a long time, couldn't help but hate his carelessness, the girl was wearing a pomegranate red dress, and there was no hairpin on her head, so she should ask what she said.

If you find it at that time, you don't have to waste so much effort at this moment.

Cheng Yu saw that Xu Song's gaze was about to turn to the direction where the young lady was, and immediately threw out a flying knife, knocking down a persimmon lamp on the lantern stall, and it ignited in an instant.

The crowd panicked and dispersed.

Seeing this white-faced gentleman with the Qilin Guard to put out the fire and save people, Cheng Yu finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

No wonder His Royal Highness always likes to do this kind of thing, it is really pleasant and comfortable.

Jiang Xi and Qianhe were already lingering here, and the old lady who had completely forgotten the news such as the palm lamp of the Light Rain Villa walked happily towards the tile where she had been thinking about it for a long time.

As soon as he entered the door, the noisy shouts and shouts rushed straight to his head, Jiang Xi's heart trembled intuitively, and he retreated with Qianhe.

After a little preparation outside the door, he walked in with his head held high like a regular visitor to the tile building, and there was a world in this tile building.

The candles are bright, the gold is splendid, the air is viscous and sluggish, mixed with food, fat powder, incense, the smell of sweat on the visitor's body and other smells, in short, the nose is very choking!

Qianhe couldn't help coughing coldly, seeing that Jiang Si was covering her mouth and nose, she also learned, which made her feel better.

When he was about to go inside, he was stopped, and a plump woman wearing a big red velvet peony and holding a small fan twisted her waist and walked over.

A pair of hanging Danfeng eyes, looked the silver pupils up and down, and then circled around him, and the fingernails painted with blood-red dankou scraped the back of his hand, very satisfied: "Miss~ I don't accept foreign men here, why don't you let him..."

As soon as she spoke, Jiang Xi had goosebumps, coughed dryly, and said, "In that case, then you can wait outside!" "

By this woman's side, she was uncomfortable all over her body, so she immediately sent away her silver pupils and led her to walk inside.

"Slow down~ How can Miss be so rigid, I like this man very much, why don't Miss resell him to me, you will definitely have money!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ji immediately turned around: "You want to buy him?" "

As he spoke, he pointed to the silver pupil, and the woman's eyes were sticky to him.

This kind of look is not unfamiliar to Boyan Xuze, after all, so many Central Plains ladies have spent a lot of money for him, and their eyes are like this old woman, but they are more reserved and introverted.

Coveting what doesn't belong to you comes at a price, and he turned his head in disgust.
