Chapter 923 is also ill-intentioned
"Why didn't the prince let them come along?" Seeing the two of them walk away, Jiang Shu said with a slightly restrained expression.
Although Zhu Xuanyu said that she had just come over with Ran Xingrang, she didn't ignore the move of checking Zhu Changxun's face!
"Didn't you say it, without the interference of others, it would be better for you and me to go alone." Zhu Changxun gently tugged at the corners of his lips and turned his head to look at her, not surprised that she could see this.
"Okay, who wants to go alone with you!" Jiang Shu's expression stiffened slightly, and he couldn't help but mumble in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Although looking at her face and knowing the general content of her words, Zhu Changxun still asked knowingly.
"Uh...... Nothing, nothing ......" Although Jiang Shu's words were in his heart, in order to maintain the harmony on the surface, he couldn't say it clearly, so he hurriedly waved his hand.
After a pause, he was thinking about making up two vague sentences casually, when he suddenly saw the fireworks blooming one after another in the ink blue sky, his eyes moved, and he made an excited look: "Lord, look, those fireworks are so beautifulββ! β
"Indeed," Zhu Changxun raised his eyes and glanced at the gorgeous but ephemeral flowers that looked really beautiful, but were basically no different from the ones he had seen along the way, and did not expose her, and said with a faint smile, "Let's go." β
"Hmm." Seeing that he no longer asked about it, Jiang Shu immediately nodded knowingly.
Since this street is not very long, and the platform erected by Matteo Ricci to sell foreign goods is in the middle of this street, not far from where they stopped, even though the road is blocked by people who come and go to admire the lanterns, it is still a quick arrival.
The platform was built on the north side of the street, and at the back was a closed silk village, and the left, right, and front sides were crowded with people watching the excitement.
At this time, wearing a dark blue moire robe, covered with a black gray fox fur edge cloak, wearing a black Lingyun scarf, and a jasper ring around his waist, Matteo Ricci, dressed as a Confucian scholar of the Ming Dynasty, was standing behind a horseshoe foot head in the middle of the platform, selling a slender cylindrical object placed on a dark red lacquered wooden box.
Because the light was dim at night, Jiang Shu couldn't tell exactly what it was, and only heard people in the noisy crowd constantly raising their fists and shouting:
"I'll give fifty taels ββ!"
"I'll give fifty-five taels ββ!"
"I'll give sixty taels ββ!"
β¦β¦
"Do you want it?" Listening to the rising prices, Zhu Changxun looked sideways at Jiang Shu beside him.
"It's not going to be a kaleidoscope again, is it?" His gaze lingered on the cylindrical object for a moment, and Jiang Shu's brows frowned slightly.
When she went to Nantang with the people next to her, this one that Matteo Ricci gave her and asked her to give the old lady a birthday gift, because Ye Xiyan also gave the same thing to the old lady, but did not give it away, and it is still in the Qingran Pavilion of her Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhu Changxun glanced over there and said, "The kaleidoscope is not so long, it seems to be the rumored Western clairvoyant." β
"Really?" Jiang Shuwen's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this.
Zhu Changxun smiled lightly and nodded: "This king bought it and gave it to you, okay?" β
"No, no, no," thinking of something, Jiang Shu quickly waved his hand, "No merit, how can I let the prince break for me." β
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival last year, at Tingfang Pavilion along the Grand Canal in the Zhangjiawan section, when Zhu Changluo proposed to give her the Western clairvoyant mirror sent by the Guangzhou merchant in his hand, she politely declined because she felt that he had other intentions. This Zhu Changxun is obviously concerned about other women, but he has repeatedly shown favor to himself, which is also ill-intentioned. She has to leave sooner or later, but she doesn't want to have too much to do with him before leaving, and end up with a tangled entanglement that is constantly untidy and messy.
