Qingqiu is difficult

Chapter 37 Mr. Qian Duoduo

Chenyuanlou is the largest jewelry shop in Jingcheng. Many jewelry made by princes and ladies are made here, which is very popular in the city. Some jewelry is available in limited editions, and sometimes it is hard to find it even if you have a fortune.

Lu Xinyi looked at the row of the latest styles and couldn't help but marvel at the craftsmen's exquisite craftsmanship.

Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Niao Niao, just take whatever you like. You will go to school in a few days. How can you do without two decent pieces of jewelry!"

She originally had her eye on a jade hairpin, but when she thought that she was in a hurry and didn't bring much money, she felt a little embarrassed.

"It's not convenient today, so I'd better come back and buy it in two days." She resisted, trying not to look at the jewelry anymore.

The waiter stepped forward and asked, "Miss, I'm afraid these styles won't be available in two days."

Liu Zhang raised one hand and stopped the boy's nonsense: "Wrap everything up. Since it is the latest style, you have to wear something different every day."

Xin Yi hurriedly said: "It doesn't take that much..."

"Why can't you use it? Do you have to give up your beauty to others? It's enough for us to be beautiful ourselves."

After saying that, Liu Zhang took out the money from his arms, and Xin Yi hurriedly said: "Shop owner, please send it to the princess's house and ask the maid to pay the bill for me."

Liu Zhang shook his head, and before the shop owner could say anything, he handed over a pile of money: "The princess's mansion won't pay for her. Do you think this is enough?"

Xin Yi turned to glare at Liu Zhang, but seeing his proud expression, he said helplessly:
"If you do this, I owe you more, and I can't pay you back."

Liu Zhang nodded thoughtfully, then his expression changed and he smiled and said, "Isn't that what I wanted? Then you can pay me back for the rest of your life!"

Xin Yi could only secretly scold him for being a bastard, and the two of them immediately visited a few more clothing stores. Liu Zhang heard the word "new style", and he always wanted to see "new style" first in every store he went to.

Whatever Xin Yi tried on, whatever fit him, and whatever he looked at a few times, he would buy it without saying a word.

Xin Yi stepped forward and grabbed his wrist: "Wait a minute, I haven't seen it yet!"

Liu Zhang had no choice but to stop what he was doing and looked at her helplessly: "As long as you like it, just buy it! Although the clothes here are not as good as the emperor...not as good as the one that uncle gave you, at least they are not as good as new. They can be worn for a day." It’s a fresh and happy day!”

"Then you can't buy it like this," Xin Yi returned the pile of clothes to the store. "Everything has to be carefully selected. Only after you think about it can you cherish it. If you buy it casually, you will naturally not cherish it. Finally throw it away."

After that, she looked carefully at other clothes.

Liu Zhang stood there alone, thinking for a long time——

Those who have gone through a lot of hard work and thought about will only cherish them when they get them; those who are easily available and born with them will be thrown away casually.

He clenched the money in his hand tightly, smiled bitterly, followed Xin Yi like a madman, and said with a mean smile:

"It would be great if I could go shopping with you every day, especially when buying clothes. It would be a great honor and enjoyment to watch you change your clothes."

Xin Yi said angrily:

"What, just because there are no women in the place where you work?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhang immediately stood upright and said with aggrieved face: "No, Niao Niao, as far as I am concerned, there are only two kinds in the world, you and others, there is no distinction between men and women."

Xin Yi smiled and shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Although Liu Zhang is ruthless, he is quite a love-minded person. Although he is decisive in killing, he has the world in mind and is a prodigy in fighting. It's just a pity.

After visiting the clothing store, the two went to a small shop by the lake to eat some barbecue. It was baked on charcoal fire in the snow, and the floor was warm from the inside out. After just a few bites, Xin Yi couldn't let go of his worries about Tu Shansong and asked :

"Brother Wang, do you know who from Qingqiu is here today? Father, why did he ask Song to go?"

Liu Zhang was eating happily, but after hearing these words, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely:
"I did hear about it. I only heard that he was a wealthy businessman from Qingqiu who was passing by Jingguo and wanted to make a big deal with Jingguo. His Majesty did not understand Qingqiu and was afraid that the translation of their entourage would be false, so he wanted to find a way to find a way to do it. A few practical people are accompanying me to listen to the discussion." I'm just translating.

Lu Xinyi nodded. It was getting late, which inevitably made it a little colder. Seeing her worry, Liu Zhang wiped his mouth and asked the store owner to pack some more and take them back to eat. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he handed Xin Yi A plate of small meat was served.

"You have loved spicy food since you were a child. If you haven't eaten spicy food in a few months, you must be slandered!"

Xin Yi looked at the plate of spicy barbecue, and saw that it was evenly sprinkled with seasoning powder, and it was sizzling with oil and heat. Just smelling it made a lot of saliva ooze out.

But she didn't dare to eat because she was afraid that the wound hadn't healed yet.

Liu Zhang said: "I asked the guards to pick some pungent grass from the mountain. This kind of grass has a spicy taste, but it is not hairy. You can try it. At most, you can chew it and spit it out."

Put the Xin Yi in your mouth and chew it. Sure enough, the taste is not inferior to ordinary chili peppers. On the contrary, after the hot oil is poured on it, it has a fresh and unique taste, which stimulates the taste buds that have been sleeping for a long time.After she took a few bites, the store owner baked new ones. The two of them packed up their things and headed home together.

The winter night came earlier, and the whole afternoon passed in a blink of an eye. When they arrived at the door of the princess's mansion, Tu Shansong was already waiting at the door. He was still getting off the carriage. Liu Zhang just opened his arms to hug her, but Tu Shansong got on first. forward.

"No need to worry, brother-in-law." He bowed and saluted, turned around and hugged Xin Yi from the car.

After unloading all the things, Liu Zhang ordered his attendants to get some Xin Cao. He said nothing and just handed it to Xin Yi with a smile.

Xin Yi nodded his thanks and called Hua Lu to take Xin Cao. The two said goodbye to each other. Liu Zhang jumped on the carriage and drove away without even looking at Song.

Tu Shansong took out a piece of jade from his arms and handed it to Huazhu:

"The princess must have forgotten to bring her money bag again today. Please return this item to the captain as soon as possible to save him from spending money."

Huazhu took Yujue, put on a cloak, mounted a fast horse and chased the carriage in front.

The horse's hooves leaped across the deep snow, making a crunching sound. Liu Zhang heard the sound and opened the curtain. When the person came handed him the package, he took the jade hat, only glanced at it casually, and said with a smile:

"This kid is willing to give it up. He probably only has one valuable thing left in his body. Qingqiu's jade should be given back to him to recognize his ancestors!"

After that, he threw the bag back to the flower beads casually and ordered the coachman to return home quickly.Although he was granted the title of Captain, he still lived in Prince Yi's Mansion. He couldn't bear the neglect of his parents, and the General's Mansion built for him by Emperor Jing was also idle.

Xin Yi returned to the room, and Song took off his cloak for him. He held her hand and put it to his lips to breathe. After rubbing it for a long time, it finally warmed up. He took off his cloak, took out a new one from the small stove and ironed it. The fruit wine was only a small cup and handed to Xin Yi.

"I asked you to wait for me, and I will allow you to have a drink today."

When it came to having a drink, Xin Yi immediately said: "Song, are you hungry? I packed a lot of barbecue..."

As soon as she was halfway through her words, she stuck out her tongue. With Song's personality, how could he eat what Liu Zhang bought.

"I'd better ask Xiao Cong and the others to share the food. What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you."

Song looked at her quietly, with extremely gentle eyes, and said:

"No need, I've eaten in the palace, and you're tired too. Get some rest. I'll make you wash up and go to bed before I go back."

Xin Yi held the wine glass in both hands and tasted it in small sips. The Songnian fruit wine did not have the spiciness of the wine, but had more of the sweet and sour fruit and the fragrance of the wine. It was like a young swordsman who had just come down from the mountain and was ignorant of the world. , has a sharp edge, but is not ordinary.

After washing, she undressed and lay quietly on the bed, while Song sat on a wicker chair beside the bed and looked at the fire for her - in order to drive away the cold, he deliberately made the fire brighter, but he was afraid that he would leave again because of it. Water, he quietly looked at the fire.

Time passed little by little, and Xin Yi didn't feel cold under the thick quilt. In his hazy sleepy eyes, he saw that Song was still wearing a thick coat.

The candle flame was swaying little by little, and when there was only a little bit left, the fire in the brazier was almost extinguished. Song held his forehead with one hand, and in his hazy sleepy eyes, he could only see a pair of shining scissors, tightly grasped by someone. in hand, walking towards him.
