Xiao Jiaojiao dressed as a powerful minister

Chapter 18

Nan Xu helped her stomach, feeling a little overwhelmed.

She also ate most of the sugar-fried chestnuts just now, and the remaining half is now in Shen Jijing's hands.

The man said very little, and he followed Nan Xu all the time without saying a word for a long time.

The dignified regent, who can only be busy with state affairs all day, is willing to go shopping with a woman.

Shen Jijing really loves Fan Yuruo!

Shen Cijing didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes were fixed on her, and she didn't move away for a long time.

"What's the matter?" He couldn't help disturbing her, Nan Xu shook his head, and took a step ahead holding the candied haws.

There was a sudden commotion in front of him, and a faint cry could be heard through a wall.

Nan Xu looked for the source of the sound in doubt, and was shocked.

At the end of a closed alley, a beggar was surrounded by several people and was about to attack.

Beside the crowd, there was a conspicuous red figure.

The woman turned her back to Nan Xu's direction, wearing a scarlet flower-smeared skirt, which outlined a slender waist, with a graceful figure and long hair reaching her waist. Just from a back view, it can be seen that this person's identity is extraordinary.

"Tell me, where did you steal it?" As soon as the woman opened her mouth, a voice as clear as a silver bell reached Nan Xu's ears.

The beggar over there fell to the ground, surrounded by several servant-like people, his eyes were terrified.

"I told you, it wasn't stolen."

"Didn't it be stolen? How could you, a little beggar, have such a valuable thing?" The woman in red didn't seem to believe his words.

When the woman turned her body slightly to reveal the things in her hands, Nan Xu's eyes lit up.

That thing—it was the hairpin that was snatched away.

Looking at the beggars on the ground, they looked familiar in ragged clothes.

Nan Xu didn't see the face of the hairpin snatcher clearly, so he didn't recognize him for a while.

"It's really easy to find nowhere to go if you break through the iron shoes." He muttered to himself, winking at the people behind him.

Nan Xumao leaned over the wall to eavesdrop. His cautious appearance was the complete opposite of Shen Cijing behind him. The latter stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a gentleman. He never left the person in front of him for half a minute.

Seeing Nan Xu's gaze, Shen Cijing took a step forward and saw the situation ahead.

The beggar is still arguing: "It was given to me by someone else."

When beggars are begging on the street, it is inevitable that some kind-hearted people will give their slightly less expensive ornaments to the beggars.

"Heh, let's not tell the truth. If it wasn't stolen, why did you sneakily want to pawn it for you?" the woman asked.

This time the beggar was wronged, and was poked at the center, his voice weakened: "Anyway, I said it wasn't stolen, even if it was, what does it have to do with you!"

"It's not stealing, it's robbing!"

At this time, Nan Xu stood up from behind the wall and walked towards those people.

Shen Jijing followed closely behind.

"Girl, the one in your hand is my hairpin." Nan Xu pointed to the thing in the woman's hand, her gaze fell on the little beggar on the ground with gloomy eyes, "He snatched it from me."

After the words fell, the beggar over there said: "Who are you?"

Suspicion visible to the naked eye on his face.

He snatched the hairpin, he only knew that he snatched it from a jewelry stall, as for who got it from, and there were so many people there, he didn't pay attention at all.

Nan Xu's pupils suddenly dilated, and he looked at the beggar who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old: "You don't know who I am when you snatched something from me?"

It caused her to pay 50 taels for no reason.

Of course, it was Shen Cijing's money.

"Sorry girl, you saw it too. He said he didn't know you. Do you have any other evidence to prove that this is your hairpin?"

The woman in red turned her head, revealing a fair face, delicate features, clean eyebrows and eyes, with the tenderness of a Jiangnan woman, her face is not beautiful, but very delicate, her eyes are firm, her skin is fair, and her whole body is full of aura. Out of the silt but not stained temperament.

The person looks very friendly, with a look that makes people want to get close at a glance. There is nothing particularly memorable about him, but standing there, it seems that he can't forget it at a glance.

"Did I meet you somewhere?" Nan Xu's lips parted slightly, doubtful.

This face is indeed familiar, I have only seen it not long ago.

The woman looked at her, then at the person behind her, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Shen Cijing? Why are you here?"

Turning his head to look at Nan Xu, he understood instantly: "Well, I did see it, just this morning."

As Shen Cijing approached, Nan Xu put his puzzled eyes on him, Shen Cijing nodded slightly at the woman, "Miss Yun."

Then he introduced to Nan Xu: "This is General Yun Chan's eldest daughter, Yun Shiran, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion."

Turning to face Yun Shiran's direction: "There is no need to introduce this one."

Yun Shiran smiled calmly, nodded, and handed the hairpin in her hand to Nan Xu.

"Didn't you just say..."

"I know who you are and I trust you."

Nan Xu was stunned by her clean smile.

This person turned out to be Yun Chan's daughter!

But it's not like Yun Chan at all.

He seemed to be an extremely free and easy person, and he didn't pretend to be a snake because of Nan Xu's identity.

"I just said that we are destined. I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Yun Shiran looked in Shen Cijing's direction and walked towards him.

The two looked very familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time.

"Miss Yun, how did you meet this beggar?" Nan Xu inspected the hairpin and confirmed that it was the one just now.

Yun Shiran smiled: "I was just strolling around, but this man suddenly stepped forward and stopped me, asking me to help him take this hairpin to a pawn shop, I agreed, but felt something was wrong, so I secretly called a few The servant came over, but he didn't expect that the hairpin really didn't belong to him."

"Thank you very much, Ms. Yun." Nan Xu hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks.

Several people did not reveal the identities of Nanxu and Shen Cijing. After all, they are all famous figures in Nanyi country outside, so they should not be too high-profile.

Yun Shi dyed her mind, and answered Nan Xu's words: "You're welcome, since you are Shen Cijing's friend, then you are my friend."

She stretched out a hand towards Nanxu.

Nan Xu didn't refuse either.

Over the years, because of her status, she has few friends, and Si Qingyao is one of them.

"Just call me Axu." Seeing what Yun Shiran wanted to say, Nan Xu explained immediately.

She didn't know how to address Nan Xu.

Hearing Nan Xu's words, Yun Shiran beamed with joy, "Alright Xu, then you can call me Shiran, but don't call me Miss Yun, just like Shen Cijing, it sounds cold."

Saying that, Yun Shiran looked a little dissatisfied with Shen Cijing.

Nan Xu's eyes changed.

Shen Cijing...

In the entire Nanyi Kingdom, few people dare to call the regent's name directly!

It seems that the relationship between Yun Shiran and Shen Cijing is really unusual...
