Chapter Twenty-Seven: Wandering

The people who were allowed to go in and make a report came out of the courtyard, and the people who were waiting outside to watch the excitement immediately gathered around.

"How? What do you think? What's going on inside? ”

The person who reported the news was expressionless, surrounded the brothers and sisters around him, and spoke very calmly, "Lord Wang...... Take it off. ”

Take off...... Take it off? What is off? What did you take off?

"Clothes, take off." The person who reported the message added with a sense of responsibility.

"Poof!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent at first, and then there was an eruption of people spraying rice, choking on them, and all kinds of soldiers were in chaos for a while.

In broad daylight, they untied their clothes in the courtyard, and maybe even wanted to take the future princess to stage a scene that was inappropriate for children - I wonder if their prince's festival has also fallen to the ground?

So disillusioned!

didn't know that his image had dropped another level in the eyes of everyone in the mansion, and Jiang Fenghao in the courtyard had already put his clothes back slowly, and at this moment he was frowning with the worship post he had just sent over in his hand.

"In the imperial history, Chengjing City, Qian Song Mingquan worships?" Seeing that Jiang Fenghao spread out the worship post without hesitation, He Xiaoqiao leaned over curiously and glanced at it twice, "Yushi Zhongcheng?" It feels like the official position is quite big...... Do you know? ”

"It's kind of a little bit of friendship." Jiang Fenghao tugged at the corners of his mouth, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he slowly closed the prayer post and stood up, "Lady, leave for your husband first." If you're going out, remember to bring lotus picking. ”

"Got it, you can go with confidence." He Xiaoqiao had often taken Cailian out to fool around before, and naturally disagreed with Jiang Fenghao's advice, just waved at him lazily, and subconsciously reminded, "Come back early." ”

The originally gloomy and irritable mood He Xiaoqiao's sentence of 'come back early' was swept away, Jiang Fenghao smiled out a row of white teeth, and smiled brightly at her, "Listen to the lady!" ”

After speaking, he reached out and patted He Xiaoqiao's head, and before leaving, he didn't forget to take the unfinished egg cake away.

He Xiaoqiao rolled his eyes at the sky, seeing Jiang Fenghao walking farther and farther away with the plate, he had to touch his still cooing stomach with his hand, and shouted helplessly outside, "Picking lotus!" ”

Cai Lian trotted in all the way from outside, "It's coming, does the princess have any orders?" ”

He Xiaoqiao slapped the table boldly, stepped on the stone bench with his right foot, and looked firmly at the outside of the wall, "Let's go, go with this girl to forage for food!" ”

Every time I go out with He Xiaoqiao, there are benefits, either I have to eat or I have to play, and I don't know how many people in the house envy and hate her. So for her proposal, Cailian immediately responded happily, "Yes, princess!" ”

Although the palace is not something that ordinary people say will come and go.

But He Xiaoqiao is different, the identity of the future princess is there, and Jiang Fenghao has put down cruel words and threatens first, so the actions of the master and servant to go out are not much hindered.

Knowing that they were going shopping, Liu Yidao and Manager Liu happily sent someone to give them a bag of silver, and cordially instructed He Xiaoqiao to buy anything without being polite, if the silver is not enough, report the name of Changning Palace, let them send things over and then settle the bill or directly tell them to come to the palace to collect money, all the husband's!

He Xiaoqiao didn't have the habit of taking strangers' silver, and was a little embarrassed at first, and was about to excuse himself, but Cai Lian had already snatched the money bag quickly under the signal of Manager Liu.

"Princess, let's get out of the house quickly. If you don't go to the morning market, it will be dispersed. ”

"But......" He Xiaoqiao was just about to continue to say something, but Liu Yidao had already taken the first step to cut off her words.

"Don't worry, princess, this silver was originally intended for you by Feng Hao's kid."

"For me?"

He Xiaoqiao pointed at the tip of his nose with his index finger, almost reflexively remembering that Jiang Fenghao had said that he wanted to provide her with food and shelter and let her brush ten streets for free and hang the account in his name, at that time she only thought it was a joke, but she didn't expect him to be serious!

Food, shelter and baggage, no work and silver - why did she suddenly have an unreal sense of happiness when a rabbit fell into a carrot heap?

If you pinch your cheek, it hurts, and it's not a dream!

Liu Yidao saw He Xiaoqiao's childish movements in his eyes, and he appreciated her more and more in his heart, "Princess, you heard it right, this is indeed a sealed ...... The prince explained it, so you can accept it with confidence. ”

"Uncle Liu, you still call me Xiao Qiao." The princess or something, it sounds really awkward.

"Good, good. Everything is ...... by the princess Little Joe, you have the final say. Liu Yidao's eyebrows and eyes were all pleased smiles, and he was very useful for this title that obviously shortened the distance.

"yes, that's refreshing." He Xiaoqiao smiled and wiped his hand under his nose with a big grin, "That's it, Uncle Liu, let's go first." Tell Jiang Fenghao to bring him chestnut cake when I come back. ”

After saying that, he turned around and pulled Cailian out like a gust of wind, and soon ran away without a figure.

Liu Yidao watched the two leave, and the smile on his face slowly put away, replaced with melancholy and nostalgia.

If his daughter who didn't have a chance is still alive, maybe he is as old as Little Joe, right?

…………………………

"Princess, are we going to eat ...... first?"

"Stop!" He Xiaoqiao, who had just run out of the palace, stopped suddenly, turned around and shook his right index finger at the dazed Cailian, "First, I haven't married Jiang Fenghao yet; Second, we're on the street now, so keep a low profile! So ......"

"So?" Cai Lian followed her words in a daze, not understanding what He Xiaoqiao was trying to express.

"So don't call me Princess, just call me Little Joe." He Xiaoqiao patted her shoulder earnestly.

Cai Lian seemed to understand whether she understood or not, then blinked, and said embarrassedly, "But there is a difference between respect and inferiority, Wang ...... I mean, why don't I call you Miss? ”

Although they have been with He Xiaoqiao for a while, the two are no longer strangers, but Cailian is not so arrogant that she feels that she is qualified to call each other her master's name, so she still calls Miss to be safe.

"That's right, that's okay."

He Xiaoqiao didn't think about it for long before agreeing, anyway, what to shout is not to shout, as long as it is not with the high-profile title of 'princess', there is no shortage of young ladies and ladies on the street.

"Let's go, let's eat first, Miss, I'm hungry!"

After coming to the capital for such a long time, I have visited the streets of all sizes several times, and Rao is such a rough person as He Xiaoqiao, and the places that should be remembered are almost all remembered, especially the various restaurants and vendors selling special snacks.

Of course, I will occasionally remember the shops near the restaurant, for example, on the right side of the Xiangling fried noodle shop, the next three are Lin Ji Silk Village and Zhongji Rice Shop, and on the opposite side of the Dong Shu Baked Cake Stall, only one alley away from the Song Family Winery is the largest and most famous jade shop in the city - Yunliju.

After filling their stomachs, the master and servant didn't want to go back to their homes and wandered around the city. When passing by Yunliju, he saw that the shopkeeper was beckoning the guy to put the new jade products on the cabinet, and He Xiaoqiao raised his feet and walked in on a whim.

Yunliju shop is very large, looks quite spacious, there are two antique shelves against the wall and in front of the store, most of them are large jade products of more than five inches, such as jade Guanyin, jade cabbage, jade Ruyi, and a recessed place in the center is a cluster of eye-catching blood coral more than half a person high.

Diagonally opposite the counter, a little further in, there is also a delicately made Huanghuali Eight Immortals Table, which looks like a place for guests to rest.

"Does the girl want to buy jade?"

As soon as the slightly chubby shopkeeper turned around, he saw He Xiaoqiao looking around, and his sharp eyes looked her up and down, and then he walked forward with a professional smile and greeted, "It just so happens that the small shop has just bought a new batch of jade, the girl might as well take a look." ”

"Okay." He Xiaoqiao was bored when he heard the shopkeeper say this, and immediately became interested. Anyway, now that he has money in his pocket, he can just buy something to give to Jiang Fenghao, which should be regarded as a gift from him for his generosity.

"Wait a minute, both of you."

The shopkeeper said goodbye, beckoned He Xiaoqiao to sit down at the table of the Eight Immortals, made a look and motioned for the man to bring tea, and he walked to the counter, picked up the delicate red flat brocade box and put it on the table, "These are all sent in the morning, girl, take a look, do you have a favorite?" ”

He Xiaoqiao looked down and found that most of them were common jade bracelets, earrings, forehead ornaments and other things, and there were also one-to-one Pisces playing lotus jade pendants.

Touched with my hand, slightly cool to start, the jade is even more verdant and transparent, and the two lively small fish carved in hollow out are outlined with yin lines such as eyes, gills, pelvic fins and tails, which look vivid and delicate.

"Wang ...... Miss, this one looks good. Cai Lian saw that He Xiaoqiao was only playing with this pair of jade pendants without looking at anything else, and immediately understood her thoughts, and joked with a smile, "Buy it and give it to the young master, it just happens to be a pair with the young lady." ”

The shopkeeper probably heard something next to him, and immediately echoed with a smile, "This girl is right." The Pisces jade pendant is a pair, if the girl you take it to your sweetheart, it will be even better. ”

"It's good, but is this price ......" He Xiaoqiao glanced at the shopkeeper, shook the jade pendant in front of him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "The shopkeeper, how much silver?" ”

"The jade pendant is a pair, but it can also be sold alone. Girl, would you like to buy one or a couple? The shopkeeper was not wordy, and seeing that He Xiaoqiao seemed to have a good temper, he directly offered the price at the moment, "One is sixty taels of silver, and a pair can be counted as cheaper for you, a total of one hundred and ten taels." ”

One hundred and ten taels...... It doesn't seem too expensive.

Because he has money in his pocket and is bold enough, and he really likes this pair of jade pendants, He Xiaoqiao immediately made a quick decision after thinking for half a second, "I want a pair, and the shopkeeper will wrap it up for me." ”

"Okay, girl, wait a minute."

The shopkeeper said, and hurriedly instructed the men to wrap the two jade pendants in soft cloth, and then put them in separate brocade boxes.

Cai Lian paid the silver, took the brocade box and walked back to He Xiaoqiao, who was drinking tea, "Miss, I've got the things back." ”

"Well, let's go back then."

He Xiaoqiao stood up lazily, took the brocade box and put it in the homemade satchel he carried with him, and was about to leave with Cailian, but he almost collided with a young woman dressed in light-colored clothes and covered in jewels.

The two sides shook at the same time, He Xiaoqiao just stood firm under the support of Cai Lian, and only said the first two words of 'I'm sorry', and the young woman with delicate makeup on the opposite side was already twisting her thin willow eyebrows, wrinkling her nose and waving a silk scarf as if she saw some deadly bacteria.

"Shopkeeper, you are really getting more and more tasteless in this cloud house, it used to be okay to let those small families in, but now it is even this, this way," his eyes circled around He Xiaoqiao, and his face was full of disdain and disgust when he saw her oil-stained fine silk clothes and mass-like thick-soled embroidered shoes that stained the mud and water blackened, "...... Even this kind of rural nouveau riche was put in? Don't you know that sharing something in a store with them will lower the status of us valued customers? ”

A nouveau riche in the countryside? Won't it ...... That's her, right?

He Xiaoqiao raised his eyebrows, glanced at his dirty skirt and shoes, raised his hand expressionlessly to stop Cailian, who was about to scold back, and slowly put back his right foot, which had already stepped out of the door, and held his chest with both hands in front of the young woman and her attendant.

"Cailian, did I hear it wrong?" Funny hooked his ears with his little finger, He Xiaoqiao asked Cailian seriously, "Why did it seem that a dog was barking just now?" It's too noisy, I really don't know which field it came from, and when I look back, remember to find someone to pull it back so that I don't disturb the people. ”
