Yijuan cloud

Chapter 54
Walking in the city, Prince Yi did not ride in a sedan chair, but only rode horses with Zhong Ming and Zhu Qing.

If you bring a maid, you need to prepare a car.

What's more, there is no precedent for taking a maid with him when he goes out.

He is the Yiwangye of the Daying Dynasty, a royal relative and the pride of heaven. Even if I am not a slave, I am still separated by heaven and earth. If I take his words seriously and regard myself as a friend, that would be naive.

It is understandable that the prince rewarded me with a gift and helped me find my family because of the grace of saving my life, or because he was really feeling sorry for me.

But hearing this tone, he wanted to take me to stroll on the street, so I suspected that it had attracted his favor for a while, and was he trying to drag me into muddy water?He was originally suspected by the Xu family, but he really had a reputation that was unclear and not worthy of being looked down upon.

"Your Majesty is going to go shopping, and Zhong Ming will go with you. My servant will stay at home and wait for your Majesty to come, so we can have hot soup and tea." I whispered.

Prince Yi clicked his tongue and said, "I have my own reasons for asking you to go, but you resisted."

I hurriedly knelt down and said, "I don't dare." The fox's tail couldn't be hidden after all. He told me before that I didn't need to think of him as a prince, but now my son started acting like a prince again.

Then I thought about it, he is a prince after all, and he keeps thinking of me as his savior. How could he have other ideas? Or maybe he is really useful to people, who knows.

At this time, the curtain was opened, and three maids came in. Two brought trays, and the other saluted, "Your Majesty, breakfast is ready."

As he said that, he was going to put down the small table.But I heard Prince Yi wave his hand casually and said: "Take it."

The little maid responded "Yes" and quietly stepped back with her head lowered.

Although I didn’t know why he didn’t have breakfast, I didn’t ask any more questions. I just bowed and said, “Your Majesty, I’ll be waiting for you later. I’ll go take care of things to go out.”

"Why don't you ask me why I don't have breakfast?" King Yi asked curiously.

"The prince has his reasons."

He sneered lightly: "If you don't ask, how can I have a chance to reason?"

I was stunned, frowned and asked him calmly: "It's cold, the prince went out early, why don't you have breakfast?"

He said "hmm", sat down gracefully, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't talk about it now, you will find out when you get out." He was deliberately teasing!
I secretly took a breath, but my face was still calm: "Yes."

Prince Yi, Zhong Ming and two guards were riding horses, and there was a coachman driving a carriage.

I sat in the car, listening to the crisp sound of horse hooves outside, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, the clicking sound was like stepping on people's hearts.

I closed my hands, put them to my mouth and took a breath. I lifted the curtain of the car and looked around. I was already in the downtown area.

Xuanhua is not as prosperous as Shangjing, but because it is on the border, businessmen from various countries stop here to take stock, so it is also very lively.

The sky was clear and clear, and there were many pedestrians. But when they saw our group of people, they all ducked out of the way and made way for themselves.

Prince Yi was only wearing ordinary clothes, so the common people would not be able to recognize him, but he was able to distinguish the rich and powerful based on his carriage and clothing, which shows that he had a way of survival for a long time.

War, poverty, and uncertainty kept running over them, but they only made them weaker and stronger.

I can't help but respect the local people.

Because I was born in the south, I can't say I like the northernmost place in Daying Dynasty. On the contrary, I have never been accustomed to it.

The dryness, cold, and strong wind here are rough and straightforward. Even the roast beef and mutton that everyone loves, I can't stand the smell.

When I dream back at midnight, I still miss Yangzhou, my yard, and my boudoir.

Although I don’t know what the world is like outside now, I don’t know how Lin’s house was destroyed, and I don’t know if my parents and family can be found, I always look forward to returning home one day.

The maids in the house would ask people to buy rouge, gouache, jewelry, facial hair, etc. from outside. I couldn't bear to spend a penny, so I saved up my monthly payment. Now I have ten taels.

I never knew how good Yinliang was before, but now I think it is the most practical.

I was lost in thought when the carriage stopped.

Zhong Ming came over and lifted the curtain, and I held his arm and got out of the carriage.

In front of him was a very lively street, with stalls and hawkers on both sides of the road, and carriages were not allowed to leave.

Prince Yi handed the horse to a guard and walked forward casually.

Zhong Ming said: "There are so many people showing off. Girl Duo'er and I are following the prince while you wait at the tea stall nearby."

Quickly follow Prince Yi.

Zhong Ming said: "The foreign caravan that the young master wants to see is ahead and has to walk for a while."

Even though people were rubbing shoulders one after another, Prince Yi's appearance as a fair and handsome nobleman was still extremely outstanding, causing people around him to look sideways and look back.

He didn't realize it at all, he just said briskly: "Let's go!" and walked forward swaggeringly.

I thought he had been here before, so I didn’t want to go out for two steps and then turned around and asked Zhong Ming: “What kind of street is this? Is there any delicious breakfast?” Zhong Ming said respectfully: “Back to you, sir, this is Gulou Street. The locals I like to eat haggis noodles for breakfast. I have never been here, but I heard that Sun Ji’s haggis noodles are very famous.”

Zhong Ming had eaten in the morning, so only Prince Yi and I ate.

The noodle shop is not big, with only a few tables and stools, and it is already full of people.

The atmosphere of the market is full of people shouting and drinking. Not to mention Prince Yi, even I have never been to such a place.

Zhong Ming went to buy noodles at the front, and Prince Yi and I stood among a group of diners, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.

A woman wearing a dark red coarse cloth saw us when she came over to serve us. A warm smile broke out on her face and she said loudly: "Hey, our distinguished guest is here. Just wait, we will arrange a table for you."

After she put it down, she kicked a diner's stool and said, "Young man, go and sit at a table with someone else."

The diner wasn't upset either. He took the bowl and slurped the noodles into his mouth, stood up and said with a smile, "Come on, Miss Sun looks so pretty today."

Mrs. Sun threw herself on him and cursed: "When does my mother-in-law not look good? Go, go, go!"

I found this situation very interesting and couldn't help but purse my lips and smile.

As soon as the diner turned around and saw me, he put down the bowl in front of his face, looked at me with squinted eyes and smiled.

Fortunately, Prince Yi took a step forward and blocked his gaze.

Prince Yi raised his hands to Madam Sun and said, "Thank you, Madam Boss, for your kindness."

Mrs. Sun lowered her head slightly, raised her eyes and said with a smile that seemed to be shy but not shy: "Young master, I look at the eyesight. I don't know where he is from a high temple. I can go back to my house so that others can boast about it."

I was looking behind the prince and heard him say politely: "I am a medicine merchant from Beijing. I am new to this precious land and am not a good person."

"What's your surname?" Mrs. Sun asked delicately.

"My surname is Lin."

"Oh Mr. Lin, look, we were so busy chatting that we actually forgot to ask Mr. Lin to take a seat. Come on, come on, please take a seat."

Prince Yi was suddenly pushed down on the bench by Mrs. Sun.

I hurriedly followed him and took a handkerchief to wipe the table in front of him.

"Girl, there's no need to wipe it. The tables and stools here don't look clean. They're all covered in pulp. I wipe them every day, but they're actually clean." Mrs. Sun said at the side.

I unfolded the handkerchief and saw a layer of black oil stains. I immediately thought that I couldn't keep the handkerchief.

Mrs. Sun laughed twice, very sarcastically.

Prince Yi coughed slightly and said, "The boss lady just goes about her business."

After Mrs. Sun left, Prince Yi pointed to the bench opposite him and said, "Go and sit down quickly, so as not to have someone come to set up the table later."

I had no choice but to go and sit down, and looked back at Zhong Ming. He was still crowded in the crowd in front of the counter, so I turned my head and whispered: "When did you change your last name... Take it yourself without asking."

He also whispered: "The lady suddenly asked me, I can't say my surname is Liang. I couldn't think of a good surname for the moment, so I just stayed close to the people around me to block her."

I stopped talking and looked at the small shop with my chin propped up.

This place is completely different from the exquisite palace like a treasure cave. It is like a cave of gods in the sky, and this is the mortal world.

Even Prince Yi, who was sitting opposite, seemed to have fallen into the world. I still curiously asked him: "There are no delicacies in the house, why would you want to come to a place like this to eat?"

Prince Yi also looked around and said, "I've long wanted to visit such a lively little market. Don't you find it interesting?"

The diners are immersed in their chews and slang is being heard. At a glance, you can see the busy street outside. The scene in front of you is like a lifelike clay sculpture, but it is too vivid to be real.It's really interesting.

Zhong Ming finally squeezed back, panting slightly and said, "Young master and Miss Lin, you eat while I go outside for a walk."

As soon as he left, two bowls of noodles were served.

The haggis was covered on the noodles, and coriander was spread on it. The heat and aroma hit me, and I was already hungry at the moment, so the noodles in front of me looked extremely delicious.

I didn't expect it to be extremely spicy. After taking a bite, I realized it was so spicy that I covered my mouth and inhaled sharply.

Prince Yi also put down his chopsticks and said it was spicy: "I thought I was good at spicy food, but I didn't expect it to be so spicy."

I almost burst into tears, and I sat there with tears in my eyes.

Prince Yi stood up and strode towards the counter. I thought he was going to cause trouble, so I followed him hurriedly, but I heard him say to the waiter in the shop: "Quick! Bring a pot of tea! "
