Volume 2 The Imperial City Chapter 40 The Bitter Lover
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Cui Tingyun's cheeks flushed slightly, I don't know if it was because of the tiredness just finished busy or a little shy.
"Haha, Sister Cui, you want to know it too." Xiao Yu'er walked into the inn with the medicine bag in his hand.
"The third prince has been thinking about you in his heart, since you said last time that you were infected with a cold, you specially asked the imperial doctor to dispense a medicine bag for you, saying that it can relieve your symptoms."
Xiao Yu'er waved his hand and placed the medicine bag on the table.
"Little fish! How can you take other people's things? ”
"Oh, Sister Cui, people are also kind, you can accept it." Xiao Yu'er said, "Besides, I've taken it all, and there's no reason to return it." ”
Xiao Yu'er smiled and said, "You better take it, my good sister." ”
Cui Tingyun looked helpless.
Indeed, as Xiao Yu'er said, since the things of the third prince have been accepted, it is not appropriate to return them, and it will lose the face of the royal family.
Cui Tingjun sighed.
"It seems that I owe the third prince a favor."
Cui Tingjun looked up at the outside of the house.
"Okay, Sister Cui, you went to talk about business today, did you gain anything?" Xiao Yu'er asked curiously.
Hearing this, Cui Tingyun took her thoughts back and smiled.
"Well, because I made a deal with the royal family, this matter has spread around the shops in the city, and since the royal family has made a move, they are also happy to get a piece of the pie, and there are already two orders in half a day."
"Then you have to thank the third prince even more." The little fish squeezed his eyebrows on the side.
Cui Tingyun touched Xiao Yu'er's head helplessly.
"Xiao Yu'er, you still don't understand this thing."
"Who said that!" Xiao Yu'er was unconvinced, "I'm not small." ”
"Okay, the little fish has grown up."
Rare free days, the sun has not yet set.
After solving the day's tasks, everyone decided to go out.
Xiao Yu'er looked around, eager to visit every store.
These days can suffocate the little fish to death.
After a while, Wei Changming's hands were carrying large and small packages.
looked at the three girls in front of them who were still full of combat effectiveness.
Wei Changming couldn't help but sigh.
Women are really terrible, and sure enough, shopping has nothing to do with cultivation, it's nature.
"Alright, let's go here today." Xiao Yu'er looked at the package in Wei Changming's hand, clapped her hands, and was very satisfied with today's results.
Xuan Yi covered her mouth and snickered.
"It's really hard for Mr. Wei today, let's find a restaurant to rest temporarily, it's not too early."
"Okay."
Inside the Smoke Cloud Building.
A group of four people found a side room.
"This is delicious, sister, you eat a piece." Xiao Yu'er used chopsticks to hold the sweet and sour spirit fish in front of him to Xuanyi.
At this moment, a melodious flute sound came from outside the house.
The crowd listened in amazement.
After a while, the curious little fish opened the curtain and looked for the source of the sound.
There is a venue in the center of Yanyun Building, which is a place for singers to perform on weekdays.
And at this time.
A long-haired man holds a bamboo flute and stands in the center of the stage.
At the end of one song, the sound of the flute made everyone in the building stop the noise.
Mr. Gao Ya is a true gentleman, and the beautiful jade hangs down his ears.
Just why, it sounds a little bleak?
At some point, the sound of the flute stopped.
Dressed in white, standing with his hands in his hands, he is handsome.
A gust of wind came from nowhere, which caused the man's white clothes to flutter, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Good!"
I don't know who got up, and the applause in the building was endless.
The man was speechless, bowed slightly, and left the restaurant.
Xiao Yu'er pulled Xuanyi to find the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
"Shopkeeper! Who just performed! ”
"Girl, you're not the first to ask me this question." The shopkeeper waved his hand helplessly.
"But we don't know what this son's name is or where he came from."
"Then why did he come here to play?"
"Objectively, a few aren't locals, right?"
"Why do you say that?"
The shopkeeper suddenly lowered his voice, leaned in front of the second daughter, and whispered, "Actually, this is not a secret to us. ”
"Where to start?"
"This son originally had a family, and he traveled here with his wife. It is said that he was suddenly attacked in an unnamed alley. ”
"When this son woke up, his wife was gone."
"No one cares about these things happening in the Imperial City?" Xiao Yu'er was puzzled.
The shopkeeper's voice was softer.
"Shhh, of course such incidents are not allowed in the imperial city, otherwise how can the safety of the people be guaranteed?"
"Then why can't you find it?"
"Two girls, think about it, the guards of the imperial city can't find any clues, who should have done it? Is it impossible to search, or is it not daring to search? ”
Little fish's eyes widened. "Did the Li do it?"
Xiao Yu'er didn't lower her voice, so frightened that the shopkeeper hurriedly covered Xiao Yu'er's mouth.
"My aunt! The voice is softer, how can you talk nonsense like this, I still have to do business! ”
The shopkeeper sighed.
"The four princes are idle all day long, arrogant and extravagant, and it is not that there have been incidents of the disappearance of the people's daughters in the past, but who rushed to investigate, or dare to expose the truth?"
"It's really hard for this son. There is no way to seek officials, and the royal family does not care. Since then, he has settled in the Imperial City. ”
"But people also have to live, and they also have to cultivate. Therefore, this son reached an agreement with the restaurants, and from time to time he would come to play a few songs in exchange for payment, and we gained popularity, so we were naturally happy to see it. ”
Xiao Yu'er is naturally a character who is uneven when he sees the road, and he is so angry that he chops his feet at this moment.
"I'm so angry, how can there be such scum in the imperial city!"
The shopkeeper waved his hand again.
"Grandma, you are really my aunt, don't say a few words, you can't say these words outside, otherwise your life will be lost!"
"Doesn't the royal family know about this?"
"Of course I know, but the talent of the four princes in cultivation is extremely high, although they are the youngest among the princes, but their cultivation can be close to the previous princes."
"In this world, they still respect the way of cultivation, and they won't care about such trivial matters."
"Is this also called a trifle? Robbing people's girls, what age is it, and there is still such a thing! If it's in my daddy's place, don't make him cramped! ”
"Auntie, I still have to advise you a few words, this is the territory of the royal family, some should be said, some should not be said, and I hope you understand. I still have to entertain other customers, so I won't accompany you and take my leave. ”
The shopkeeper understood that this was really the aunt and grandmother of which sect had come to practice, so he simply didn't care about her, and left hastily after reminding her.
This aunt and grandmother have backers, but I don't.
It's better to have less connections.
Xiao Yu'er thought of the back of the man leaving just now.
The figure is lonely, with a hint of desolation.
