Chapter Twenty-Three: Substitute Marriage 23
There are some things that cannot be thought about.
Yu Yanling decisively forgot about the little boy and the cat, and glanced at the handsome young man beside him.
Pei Xiuli changed into a crow-blue collared robe today, the dark red belt tightly wrapped around the thin waist, and also brought out a bit of festivity, and there was a bulging light-colored purse and a transparent jade pendant tied around the waist, with a straight posture, but the pace tried to accommodate her to walk slowly.
Yes, it's what she likes.
The corners of Yu Yanling's lips were slightly hooked.
I heard the young man ask seriously: "Yu, Miss Yu, where do you want to go?" β
Yu Yanling looked away, looked around, walked for a while, has walked out of the residential area, came to the downtown area, all kinds of shouting, bargaining voices are endless, she is curious to sweep one by one, only to feel dazzling: "I don't know, I rarely come out, and I don't know where to have fun." β
Pei Xiuli frowned a little distressedly, desperately thinking about what his mother told him, and asked, "That...... I see there's a pancake over there, would you like to try it? β
Yu Yanling nodded decisively: "Yes." β
Pei Xiuli relaxed, responded reservedly, bought it back in the past, five cents a baked cake, meat filling, the most expensive one in the stall, the eldest piece, hugged it with oil paper and gave it to her.
Yu Yanling held it in both hands, and was immediately burned: "Hiss! β
In the next second, the young man quickly took it away: "I'll give it to you when it's colder." β
"Okay." Yu Yanling nodded with a smile.
The little girl smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, her expression was gentle, she looked quite well-behaved, Pei Xiuli glanced at it, and couldn't help but glance at it twice and three times, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, the difference between Miss Yu during the day and that night was quite big.
The only thing they have in common is that they are not very shy and keep peeking at themselves.
Pei Xiuli straightened his chest without a trace, his eyes swept over the stalls around him, and asked earnestly: "I see that there is a sugar painting stall over there, do you want to draw one for you?" β
Yu Yanling raised her eyebrows and was interested: "Okay, we can draw one together." β
Pei Xiuli's cheeks were slightly red, but fortunately his skin was not white, so he didn't see it, so he nodded seriously: "Hmm." β
The stall owner who painted the sugar painting was an old man, with quick hands and feet, and when he saw that they were going to paint portraits, he opened his eyes and looked at them carefully, and when he looked at them, he grinned: "Yo, the two of them are really a pair of golden boys and girls, and they are good-looking." β
Pei Xiuli's face turned completely red, but Yu Yanling was quite calm, and the smiling old man looked at it.
After reading it, the old man dropped his hand neatly.
The hot sugar liquid fell down the spoon, and a pattern gradually formed on the smooth board, and soon a little girl in a Luo skirt with a beautiful bun appeared on her head, not to mention that it was quite vivid, especially the eyes, which were round and identical.
Then the old man didn't stop, and continued to paint directly next to the sugar liquid, and soon a heroic young man also appeared.
What's even more amazing is that the old man also let the two sugar paintings hold hands.
The last stroke outlined the appearance of the two holding hands, which directly shocked Yu Yanling: "Grandpa, you are too powerful!" β
The old man smiled proudly: "What is this?" I can draw no matter how complicated it is, as long as I've seen it. β
He carefully scooped up the sugar painting with a spatula, and the sugar painting put a support stick on the villain, and he directly took it and handed it over: "To you." β
"How do you eat this?" Yu Yanling couldn't help muttering, good-looking is good-looking, but how to mouthful? You've got to break it open, right? She reached out to pick it up.
Unexpectedly, a big hand next to him took the first step to take away the sugar painting, and handed over a piece of broken silver with the other hand: "Old man, another sugar painting, this time just draw something else." β
The old grandfather's old eyes swept over Pei Xiuli, smiled, accepted the money, and continued to paint.
This time, the heads of the two villains were successfully drawn, and the bodies were not drawn, and they were handed to them directly: "Eat this one, keep that one as a souvenir, but you have to keep it, otherwise it will melt in the summer." β
"Thank you." Pei Xiuli said politely, took the second sugar painting, and handed one to Yu Yanling.
Yu Yanling: "......"
Feelings are awkward in this.
She wanted to take a bite of the 'Big Head Pei Xiuli' sugar painting, and the little white tooth immediately bit the hard sugar painting to pieces, and the sweet taste made her feel happy: "Let's go, see if there is anything else to eat?" β
*
In the end, Yu Yanling was eaten, and she tasted almost all kinds of snacks, but she didn't eat much, basically just one or two bites.
She wants to keep her stomach, and the rest of the food will be left to Jade and Pearl to solve, and the three of them often share food like this, and they don't mind.
When the street came to an end, her stomach was still full, but Pei Xiuli also ate a lot with her, but when it was almost noon, he said, "There is a restaurant here, let's eat lunch here." β
Yu Yanling: "......? β
"You haven't eaten yet?"
The young man looked puzzled: "I haven't eaten yet." β
Boy!
This amount of food, worthy of being a general, she admired it, and she happened to be tired, so she went to the restaurant with Pei Xiuli, and naturally sat in the private room on the second floor.
The shopkeeper asked them to order with a courteous attitude.
There are a lot of dishes here, because it is Kyoto, and the elite of the entire Great Xia are gathered, so the dishes are not single, but there are various flavors, sweet, spicy, light, and strong.
The key names are quite special, at least literally, she doesn't see any meaning.
simply asked the shopkeeper to recommend a few dishes.
At this time, it was the meal, there were a lot of people in the lobby, people from all over the world gathered together, each with their own accent, but they all fused the official dialect of Kyoto, and they basically understood it, and when waiting for the food to be served, Yu Yanling subconsciously listened to it.
The main thing is that the Yu family just happened.
"I'm afraid that the Pei family is really going to withdraw from the marriage, right? I heard that the second son of the Pei family has not appeared since he attended the Hou Mansion's birthday banquet that day, and he must be dissatisfied with this marriage! β
Before this person could speak, he was refuted by another person: "Your news is really outdated, I don't know this, the Pei family just carried a pair of geese to the Yu family this morning, after this time, everything is settled, and if you regret it, you will be poked in the back!" β
"What? Really went to hire? β
"And a pair of geese? You're going to frame me, right? β
Everyone was shocked, and some didn't believe it, the Pei family didn't mind at all?
The person who first said the news sneered: "What's in it for you guys?!" Mrs. Pei took her son to the next job, many people know that the wild goose is still specially caught by the second son of the Pei family in the past few days, and he is still alive! It's not that people don't show up, it's that they're too satisfied! β
"Wow-"
"Cough~" A light cough that was not very embarrassed sounded in his ears, and Yu Yanling came back to his senses from listening to his ears, and looked at the young man in front of him narrowly: "Pei Gongzi, it turns out that you have been catching geese these days?" β
Pei Xiuli's eyes were flickering, and his tone was casual: "I just heard that I wanted this, and I thought that there were geese at this time, so I went to try it, but I didn't expect to run into it." β
It's quite tsundere.
Yu Yanling couldn't cry or laugh, but she was not a hard-mouthed person, and even had some surprises, she was hired by the wild goose, and it was the first time she experienced it, so she smiled: "I like it very much, thank you." β
"Nothing." Pei Xiuli waved his hand, and handed over her tableware, "What else do you want, I will also give it to you before marriage." β
If you send it before marriage, when you get married, you will take it to your in-law's house, and it will belong to the bride's dowry, which is her own.
Seeing that he said so lightly, he really wanted to embarrass this person, his eyes were rolling, and he was about to speak, but after listening to the initial shock below, one person said in a strange tone:
"This eldest lady of the Yu family is not good, but I heard that the second young lady is not good either, the reason why the eldest lady of the Yu family was found to be pregnant was that she was drugged and stunned by her sister!"
Seeing Pei Xiuli's brows furrowed, Yu Yanling smiled at him who didn't care, and Yu Yanhe's dying bite was expected by her.
Many people obviously heard about it, and hurriedly echoed it: "Yes, I also heard about it, at that time, the eldest lady of the Yu family insisted that it was the second miss of the Yu family who stunned her and harmed her!" β
"Such a femme fatale, the Pei family doesn't mind?" Someone couldn't help but mutter: "It can be seen that this Pei family is not a good, well-said scenery and moonlight, but he has fallen in love with such an ugly womanββ"
"Shut up!" Suddenly, a reprimand interrupted the man's ugly words, and the young man's voice was a little angry, and he asked, "Do you have any evidence?" Let's talk about it here! β
The face of the man who had spoken of fire suddenly changed slightly, and he did not dare to speak for a while.
The lobby was quiet for a while, but soon someone helped: "He has no evidence, but don't people say that?" β
"That's right, the eldest lady of the Yu family is pregnant, where will she drug herself?"
"I think nine times out of ten it was done by the second lady of the Yu family, but she didn't take the initiative to harm others, she just retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, and this method is actually not bad."
As he was talking, the young man at first said: "Since you have no evidence, don't talk nonsense, I inquired, the second miss of the Yu family was soiled at the banquet, and when she left the banquet hall, it was the second son of the Pei family who followed her, and the second son of the Pei family rarely returned to Beijing before, and now he finally has the opportunity, the unmarried couple naturally have to talk about it privately, so there is still time to calculate the eldest lady of the Yu family?"
I guess I didn't expect Miss Li's cat to run at such an untimely time, which led to the revelation of some calculations, which led to the subsequent bite for no reason, but the words of a bad person, you are convinced, so you don't have the ability to distinguish?! β
In the end, the man's tone became more and more hateful, and he lamented: "My generation is declining. β
Perhaps most of the people here were young people, or scholars, literati and scholars, and when they heard his words, they were a little ashamed for a while, and they didn't talk about it for a long time.
They closed the microphone one by one, but Jade listened to the movement, and had already opened it to look at the lobby window, and when it was quiet, she turned around and said to Yu Yanling: "Miss, it's Zhao Zhi and a few of his friends." β
Yu Yanling suddenly said: "He recognized you?" β
Jade nodded: "I guess yes, I didn't pay attention when I came in just now, but our group, how can we really not attract attention?" β
She paused, caught a glimpse of her future uncle's somewhat serious look, and said with a smile: "And Zhao Zhi has been asking me before, hoping to repay Miss, but I didn't tell him without Miss's consent, but when I saw him today, he must know." β
Miss has nothing to do with Zhao Zhike, don't guess in the future!
Pei Xiuli stretched his brows and quietly played with the jade pendant on his waist.
But Yu Yanling saw that he didn't ask, but was curious: "Why don't you ask me who Zhao Zhi is?" Why do I know? β
Pei Xiuli said very calmly: "If you want to say it, you can say it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, I'm not that reluctant person." β
So easy to talk to? Yu Yanling looked at him with her cheeks on her back instead, and said with a smile: "Then I won't talk about it." β
Almost instantly, the young man's brows furrowed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who is Zhao Zhi then?" β
