Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 17
"Heavenly Immortal, Monkey, Six Animals and Poultry. Do you want to make a sugar figurine, Mr. Xiaolang?" The vendor warmly greeted a young boy who was not as tall as the stall.

The toddler in brocade clothes bit his finger, stared blankly at the stall in front of him, and said slowly after a while: "I want a rabbit."

"Okay, the rabbit will be ready soon, Mr. Xiaolang, wait a moment." The vendor responded, and took a stick with his hands and feet, and stirred it into the sugar bucket.

"Brother, look, there is a candy seller's stall over there." Lu Xingwan pointed at the stall excitedly, and people crowded there.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A shout came from the front suddenly.

The thief didn't expect Wen Shu to react so quickly, and immediately pushed away the pedestrians around him in a panic, and rushed forward.

At this time, Lu Xingwan had already reached the middle of the road, and seeing that they were about to bump into each other while speaking, Lu Yuancheng's expression tightened, and he hurriedly turned around and pulled her behind him.

"Brother!" Lu Xingwan was startled.

In the next second, she felt a figure blowing past her like a whirlwind.

"Don't run!" Wen Shu chased after her. Seeing that the thief was about to bump into someone, she felt happy in her heart. leave.

Seeing that the thief was about to run away again, she was in such a hurry that she didn't care about her feet. Suddenly, she felt a slip on the soles of her feet, and she threw herself forward uncontrollably.

Lu Yuancheng was afraid that his sister would be frightened, so he was about to turn around to say something to comfort him, when he caught a glimpse of a figure rushing towards him out of the corner of his eye, he immediately turned around and turned away.

As the corners of the clothes fluttered, a bright and clean jade pendant hanging from her waist also spun up.

The heavy object fell to the ground with a "bang", followed by a crisp cracking sound.

"Brother! Your jade pendant!"

Wen Shu fell hard to the ground, before he could gasp for the pain all over his body, a female voice screamed.

She looked up in astonishment, her body froze when she was about to get up.

Because the woman was staring at her right hand at this moment, and in the heart of her right hand was holding a light blue tassel at the moment, and a jade pendant was tied to the end of the tassel.

This is not scary, what is scary is that only half of the jade pendant is left at this time, and the other half is broken at the man's feet.

Lu Yuancheng, who heard Lu Xingwan's exclamation, also turned extremely ugly in an instant. Before Wen Shu could react, he bent down and grabbed the tassels in her hand, and even picked them up under his feet. jade pendant.

After Wen Shu saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, his dazed expression suddenly turned pale!
How is it him!

It's over, it's over, judging by the way he wears it, this jade pendant must not be cheap!
This also means that she will lose a lot of money!
For Wen Shu, who had just suffered a fire at home, it was tantamount to a catastrophe! ! !

Under the guidance of the crowd, she climbed up from the ground in embarrassment, and apologized repeatedly to Lu Yuancheng: "Master Shaoqing, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I..."

The unexpected address made Lu Yuancheng slightly startled, and then he looked at the jade pendant that was broken in two, his gaze became cold and disgusted again.

The person on the opposite side had a messy bun, and a large piece of hair on the right temple covered half of his face, making it hard to see the whole picture. He was wearing a very ordinary blue-green jacket. After such a fall just now, his chest was stained with a large black ash.

Seeing Lu Yuancheng staring at her coldly, Wen Shu felt bitter: "Master Shaoqing, I'm really sorry I broke your jade pendant. I know this thing is expensive. Tell me how much it is, and I will compensate you."

"Get lost!" Lu Yuancheng spat out the word with a frosty face.

Wen Shu was stunned, the expression on his face was as if a paint tray had been overturned, blue and red, red and white, and at the same time a trace of resentment arose in his heart.

She has already apologized and made it clear that she is willing to compensate. This person is so rude to speak so badly!
"Brother!" Lu Xingwan called out in a low voice, looking at the jade pendant that was broken in half, feeling guilty in his heart.

It's all her fault. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have let her brother go shopping with her at the night market. Now that her mother's belongings were broken, my brother felt so sad.
Lu Yuancheng came back to his senses, seeing his sister worried, swallowed his heartache and anger, and said in a low voice, "Are you still shopping?"

Lu Xingwan shook her head, she was almost dying of guilt now, how could she be in the mood to go shopping.

Lu Yuancheng nodded, turned around and said, "Then let's go."

Hey, let's go now, does this mean that she doesn't want to pay?

Wen Shu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

"Wen Shu, Wen Shu, have you caught the thief?"

Seeing that Shaoqing was about to walk out of the crowd, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, panting with a bit of surprise.

Wang Ling was delicate and frail holding the box, so she couldn't run as fast as Wen Shu, and lost her after a while, but she probably remembered that she ran in this direction, so she continued to chase after the box, but People are completely lost.

Just when she was hesitating whether to go back to the original place and wait, she saw a circle of people in front of her, and many people were pointing inside. She was overjoyed immediately, thinking that Wen Shu had caught the thief, and rushed in .

Unexpectedly, there was no scene of Wen Shu holding the thief like a tiger-fighting hero in her imagination. Instead, she lowered her head and stood in a panic in the field, wondering: "What's wrong, this is it?"

Wenshu?

Lu Yuancheng's footsteps about to leave stopped abruptly, he turned around and glanced at the woman who was winking at the person who was coming.

"It's trouble!" Wen Shu silently mouthed Wang Ling who was pushing over.

"Ah, what's going on?" Wang Ling hurried to her side and asked in a low voice.

Wen Shu glanced at Lu Yuancheng's direction from the corner of his eyes, pouted his lips: "It broke something else."

"Ah?..." Wang Ling looked in Lu Yuancheng's direction in surprise, but seeing him staring at Wen Shu without blinking, she couldn't help coughing.

Sensing her gaze, Wen Shu turned his head to look, and seeing Lu Yuancheng staring at her expressionlessly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Master Lu..."

Lu Yuancheng suppressed the anger in his heart, raised his eyes and said, "How do you know my surname is Lu? You also know my job, you recognize me?"

Wen Shu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he showed his face in a panic, and now being asked about it, he couldn't help hesitating.

When she rescued him that day, she was dressed in men's clothes, but now she is showing off in women's clothes. If she speaks frankly, there will be a large crowd of onlookers.
Thinking of this, Wen Shu had no choice but to make up a lie, "I have heard people calling you like this from afar."

Lu Yuancheng didn't believe this nonsense, and snorted coldly: "In that case, the little lady will compensate you according to the price."

Well, didn't he just leave?
"Why, don't you plan to pay, little lady?" Lu Yuancheng raised his eyebrows.

"How come—" Wen Shu wiped off the cold sweat: "It should be, it should be."

Lu Yuancheng caressed the white jade, and said calmly: "The market price of this jade is about a hundred guan, but seeing that you come from a poor background, you can't afford to pay the hundred guan. I decide to subtract half of it, and you pay fifty guan."

"Fifty or fifty!" Wen Shu's eyes widened sharply.

Her father worked so hard to make coffins for a year, and his income was less than forty guan, the fifty guan
Wen Shu instantly felt a chill down his back.

"What? You think I'm blackmailing you." Lu Yuancheng's face was very ugly. If it wasn't for proving her identity, he wouldn't even bother to say a word to her.

Who knows?

Wen Shu was suspicious in his heart, but replied respectfully on his face: "Don't dare, dare not, it's just that the little girl doesn't have such a lot of money." As she said, she lowered her head with a flushed face, looking embarrassed.

"Then leave it at the address, and I'll have my servant pick it up another day."

"No—" she raised her voice sharply.

No, she must never let her father know about it. The store at home suffered a disaster, and her father couldn't sleep well at night because of worry. If he knew that she owed so many debts.
