Heartburn - Chapter 81
To eat and drink enough, it is reasonable to go for a walk and digest. Although it is not the two-person world with Jiang Zhuo, there are high-wattage light bulbs around the three princes and his three guards, but it is better than nothing. .
After a meal, I saw that the three princes were just a little more arrogant, and the essence was not bad, so I didn’t dislike him as much at the beginning. Although Jiang Zhuo secretly pinched the palm of my hand to express his opposition, I still She changed her mouth in good manner and called the other person by her real name-her sudden little emotion made me feel a little cute, and she even teased her in a wicked way.
Perhaps it was only because of the deep anxiety in my heart that taught me that I had to use this method to determine how much she cares about me.
But I didn’t realize this at the time, and even if I did, I didn’t want to admit it.
Because Jiang Zhuo deliberately took a few pieces of yam to me during the meal, and I was forced to bite the bullet and eat it because of my previous declaration of “not picky eaters”. Even if I changed a few cups of tea to rinse my mouth, I still feel the unique taste of sasa glutinous glutinous rice in my mouth, full of indescribable bitterness-after all, it is just my psychology.
I scraped the tongue with my teeth, trying to eliminate the inexplicable smell, absently following the third prince and his guards, letting them linger in front of the stalls enthusiastically, Jiang Zhuo still looks like my shadow Generally, stay by my side in silence, but occasionally fend off passers-by who are too close to pass by.
At this moment, a very angry scream suddenly came from a small alley at the entrance of the street, and taught me to stop suddenly: “Selling candied haws-ice~candies~ gourds~lu~”
Following the prestige, the first thing that catches your eyes is a tall wooden staff, the soft wood on the top is filled with red candied haws, and a thin layer of syrup is wrapped around it, reflecting the bright color in the sun. , Watching it makes people salivate.
My feet seemed to have rooted and sprouted on the ground, and I couldn’t move anymore-I really wanted to buy a candied haw to eat.
I was obviously not the only one who heard the hawker’s call. After a while, she was surrounded by several children.
The little guys stared at her noisily and clamoring, a child holding a few copper plates, handed it to her triumphantly in the admiring eyes of the little friends, in exchange for three candied haws.
However, there are a total of four children in their group. The remaining child who didn’t get the candied haws wrinkled his face, blinked his big watery eyes, and seemed to be crying in the next moment, only to see the peddler smile helplessly. Then he took another one and handed it to her, making her burst into laughter all at once.
A few children licked the candied haws and left happily. The vendor shook his head and left with a stick on his shoulders to continue doing business. I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Looking at the three princes who were picking up in front of a stall selling masks, he coughed, and tentatively asked, “Ukule, do you want to eat candy haws? This king saw a hawker over there selling this, if If you like it, I can…”
“Oh, you’re talking about the sour and sweet fruit covered in sugar residue? I don’t like that stuff.” He wore a ridiculous painted wood carving mask of ape and waved his hand indifferently.” That’s something that children only like. I’m fifteen years old this year.”
Teach him how to be ashamed, I replied sullenly, and had no choice but to give up-what happened to the fifteen-year-old? The soul in my body is 26 years old, but I still like to eat candied haws.
But his words have come to this point. If I rush to buy and eat, don’t I admit that I am a child who is not as mature as him in a disguised form?
I am older than him in both mental and physical age-Kwong Xihan is already eighteen years old and has passed Shao Li.
Reluctantly following the third prince who was wearing a mask and running non-stop to the next stall, when I looked back, the hawker selling candied haws was no longer visible.
Sighing, I was about to talk to Jiang Zhuo, only to find that she was gone.
I panicked immediately and I had to turn around to find it, but before I took two steps, I felt that my arm was touching. When I turned my head, Jiang Zhuo was standing beside me pretty, his eyebrows were in his hand. Holding a candied haws.
She handed the candied haws to me and looked at me faintly. There was no expression on her face, but her eyes seemed to be filled with soft waves: “Here you are.”
“You…” My heart fell back into my stomach, but the emotion that overflowed earlier than complaining was moved.
——Could it be that my expression was too obvious just now, so I taught her to detect it?
And the moment she disappeared, just to buy this?
I watched her smile slightly, I was so happy in my heart, but I couldn’t help being hypocritical, trying to put the hand that I wanted to stretch out behind me, and said lightly, “This is the food that children only like, this king. If it’s like those children, what kind of style? But…” Since it’s your heart, it doesn’t hurt to give up this useless face.
I didn’t know that my sweet words hadn’t been uttered yet, but when she saw her raised her eyebrows, she took the candied haws back in her hand, making a gesture to throw it away: “So, the subordinates will throw it away.”
I was so scared that I quickly grabbed her hand: “Wait! Don’t throw it away! Anyway, it was bought with money, what a pity it was thrown away! It’s better, it’s better to eat…”
In her gaze with a smile, I gradually stopped talking. I only felt that my face was so hot and so hot that I couldn’t even lift the strength to look at her. It’s no embarrassment anymore, in her heart. Must be laughing at me.
“His Royal Highness said that.” The hand that was stopped by me was slightly harder, and the candied haws leaned towards her for a few minutes. I followed the force to look at, but saw her lightly open her vermilion lips and bit off the first candy seed at the top. , I held it in my mouth, my cheeks bulged in a lovely arc, and the flesh was eaten clean after a few swipes.
When I stared at the candy seed and disappeared into her mouth in a daze, Jiang Zhuo licked the sugar residue on the corners of his lips and gently curled his lips at me, smiling softly and charmingly. A joke flashed across the clear eyes: “It tastes good.”
——Eat it myself! Still in front of me!
…Too much.
With some resentment, staring at her plump and shiny lips, the thoughts in her heart changed without realizing it: Why do her lips seem to be more delicious than candied haws?
“His Royal Highness, do you want to taste it?” Seeing me staring at her lips unblinking, Jiang Zhuo’s smile deepened again, and he pushed the bunch of candied haws to my eyes, as if hidden in his voice. A bewitching silver hook pushed me a little bit and leaned closer to her, but I didn’t know if it was for the bright candied haws, or more attracted my focused lips than the candied haws.
How does it taste, how do you know if you don’t taste it?
At the time of the blur, I heard the woman’s furious cries and the man’s panicked screams from behind. Accompanied by the sound of objects falling to the ground and colliding, I was completely awake, not being shy, and hurriedly turned back to find the third prince and his party. .
Sure enough, a few of them were in the middle of the hustle and bustle, and they were also one of the parties involved.
The crowd automatically formed a big circle, but they all spread far away, leaving enough space to escape; in the middle were a dozen tall women carrying thick wooden sticks and wearing uniform dark bunts and a couple of the three princes. Guards.
“Look at the embroidered patterns on their clothes, they seem to be from Caiyun Pavilion…”
“Is it that Caiyun Pavilion that can’t get into if she has no money? I heard that the little brothers in it are all stunning…”
“It’s actually the Caiyun Pavilion! I heard that behind it!”
“Tsk tusk, I’ll just say it’s okay in this smoky place…”
The crowd of onlookers joined in the excitement every word and word, but no one dared to step forward, which shows that the opponent is very powerful.
——Caiyun Pavilion, this name is a bit familiar.
For a while, I couldn’t think of it.
“If you know, let us go, don’t hinder us from doing things, or even you will clean up together!” One of the women threatened with an urn, waving a wooden stick that was used as a weapon.
Where did the guards of the three princes put these civilians in their eyes, turned around and asked the owner’s order, but listened to the young man who was afraid of the world’s chaos shook the bell he just bought, and said impatiently: “A dozen chasing Two, there are too many people and less people bully, so it is clear that they are not good people! Looking at it is an eyesore, and I will teach them a lesson!”
“Yes, master.” The three of them all responded, and their eyes became fierce for an instant.
And those dozen thugs were obviously not scared, and they didn’t flinch when they heard the words, and then they rushed over.
The two people fought into a ball without saying a word, and from time to time they could hear the movement of splitting the bones and the women’s painful wailing. Regardless of whether the opponent is superior in number, but in terms of the level of force, even a few dozen more will not be able to match the three experienced elite guards. There was no suspense in this confrontation from the beginning, but the opponent was overpowered.
After a while, when Jiang Zhuo led me to line the crowd and walked to the center of the impact, all the women in bunting were lying on the ground, unable to move.
I didn’t care about it. I went to find the third prince who was standing aside and watched the good show. When I saw that he was okay, I felt relieved-if something happened to him, I couldn’t get rid of it.
However, the next moment, my attention taught the two women around him to pull away.
The two are handsome and gentle, the other is charming and pretty, and they seem to be running away in a hurry, with only a small package on their bodies, their hair is scattered, their faces are pale, and their expressions are very embarrassed.
I took a closer look at the more beautiful figure on the right, and I realized that these two people, to be precise, should be a man and a woman.
Is it the most common plot in ancient scriptures, elopement?
