The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 52 Ten Pancakes
  She clenched the hands hanging by her sides quietly, feeling a little nervous in her heart.

"Miss Wen?"

Wen Jiu didn't dress up too much today, just put some powder on his face, and chose the simplest two hairpin rings on his head.

The newly tailored winter coat has not yet been delivered, and the style on my body is outdated. I am still recovering from an injury, and my face does not look good.

She regretted why she didn't let Banxia dress up for her today.
  "Lord Chen Chen." Wen Jiu nodded slightly, but inadvertently saw the jade pendant on Chen Shu's waist. It was delicate, small, and somewhat familiar, and seemed to be in the style of a woman.

Chen Shu followed Wen Jiu's gaze and saw the jade pendant around his waist. He subconsciously lowered his sleeves to cover it, and then asked, "Why is Miss Wen here?"

Seeing him so nervous about the jade pendant, Wen Jiu felt a little strange in his heart.

That jade pendant is clearly a woman's. Could it be Chen Miao's?

Or is it Chen Shu... there is someone he likes
  "Miss Wen?" Seeing her silence, Chen Shu repeated it again.

"She wanted to eat these pancakes, so we bought some." Wen Jiu raised his head and replied quickly.

"Girl, ten pancakes for you." The vendor's voice came from behind at an inappropriate time.

"Ten pieces?" Mother Chen seemed a little shocked. These pancakes are not small.

Wen Jiu looked embarrassed, bit his lower lip, pointed at Jiang Yaoxi and said, "She eats a lot."

Speechless
  Wen Jiu silently turned his head and looked at Jiang Yaoxi: "."

With a wink, senior sister should understand, right?

Jiang Yaoxi looked at Wen Jiu in disbelief: "."

Are you okay, junior sister?
  "Yes! I love to eat." There was no cooperation that Jiang Yaoxi couldn't help.

Mother Chen seemed to have come to her senses, "It turns out that the girl and Ashu know each other. Fortunately, the girl stretched out her hand to help me. Otherwise, if I fell down, my mother would probably be unhappy for a few days."

"Mom, are you okay?" Chen Shu frowned slightly. It was freezing cold today, and older people would suffer if they bumped into each other.

"It's okay, it's okay, isn't it okay?" Mother Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss Wen." Chen Shu bowed with his hands in hand, but no emotion could be seen in his brows.

"Stop standing at the door, go in and sit down." Chen's mother thought that Wen Jiu was just an ordinary girl and didn't know much about the etiquette in Beijing. She just wanted to do her best to entertain guests.

"No, it's not convenient for Miss Wen." Thinking of what his mother said in his room yesterday, Chen Shu refused cruelly.

Wen Jiu raised his head and met Chen Shu's slightly cold gaze, feeling a little aggrieved.

She knew it was inappropriate, but the person in front of her didn't seem to have the slightest intention of staying.

She was a little confused, wondering why Chen Shu's reaction was so cold.

He had clearly told himself so seriously before that he had not proposed marriage to anyone else, but why did he no longer recognize him in the blink of an eye?

"Yes, we are going back." Wen Jiu lowered his eyes and suppressed the discomfort in his heart: "Sorry to bother you, sir."

Chen Shu's fingers trembled slightly, he restrained the impulse in his heart, and only said: "I will send the girl out."

"No need, sir, I'll just go back by myself. You can take care of my aunt."

Jiang Yaoxi was still standing at the entrance of the alley waiting for her. If she had anything to say or ask, I'm afraid it would be inconvenient.

"Yes." Chen Shu nodded and lowered his eyes calmly.

After leaving the alley, Wen Jiu was not as happy as he had been when he left.

"You like that person." Jiang Yaoxi looked at her steadily.

Even though she has been around the world for a long time and has been in Beijing for so many years, she also knows what the officials in Beijing call "orderly order" and "well-matched".

That man was very good at carrying things, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was afraid that he had exceeded the rules.

Wen Jiu didn't deny it this time, he just turned his head and looked at Jiang Yaoxi and smiled. "You are happy and unhappy at the same time when you see him. Everyone can see it."

"It doesn't matter if he likes me. As senior sister can see, he has no intention of me." Wen Jiu lowered his head, his eyes burning a little.

She was not a person who loved to cry. Even when she was locked up by her master to reflect on the cliff, surrounded by faint will-o'-the-wisps, she never shed a single tear.

But now I feel sour and aggrieved.

"Xiaojiu, if you like it, go for it. If you win, you won't have any regrets. You don't have to worry so much about gains and losses."

Although Jiang Yaoxi doesn't like anyone, that's what the so-called bystander knows.

"Not to mention whether Chen Shu knows that you like him, you are still engaged to Prince Lu, and no normal person would provoke you."

She put her arms around Wen Jiu's shoulders and said, "Let's go! Today, senior sister will take you to the best restaurant in Beijing! Eat as much as you like!"

Wen Jiu raised his eyes in surprise: "How do you know where the best restaurant in Beijing is?"

"That's what the pancake seller said." Jiang Yaoxi winked at Wen Jiu, which was not formal, but made Wen Jiu laugh.

"Come and see, come and see! The craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors, the best shadow puppets!"

The two of them were strolling around when they suddenly saw a lot of people surrounding a stall not far away.

"Shadow puppets? It turns out that some people in the capital also like to watch shadow puppet shows." Jiang Yaoxi opened her eyes wide and looked over there a few more times.

"This looks interesting. The princess will definitely like it." Wen Jiu took Jiang Yaoxi's hand and said, "Senior sister, let's go take a look."

"it is good!"

Half a day of wandering passed by in the blink of an eye.

The two junior sisters walked hand in hand on the official road, exhaling white breath from time to time.

"The princess calls you into the palace again?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid I'm still a little scared, and no one can talk about it." Wen Jiu smiled helplessly.

"Don't come back with another ghost hunting order this time." Jiang Yaoxi glanced at Wen Jiu with some reluctance, "I will go back to Changning tomorrow. You must be careful and go back to Qingyun Mountain to see more when you have time."

"You're still talking about me, and so are you, senior sister. Don't be brave, and don't be soft-hearted. Always stay by the master's side and discuss with him more often."

"That old stubborn guy! I will stay away from him sooner or later."

Jiang Yaoxi left Wen Mansion early in the morning.

Climb over the wall.

Wen Jiu stared blankly at the fallen tiles on the eaves, "She was afraid that I wouldn't know that she didn't go through the front door."

"Did Miss Jiang leave? Why didn't you say anything to the girl?"

Banxia seemed to have some unrealistic expectations for this girl Jiang who behaved very abnormally.

"I'm afraid I'll be even more reluctant to say goodbye to the girl in person." Zisu took over the conversation and stood behind Wen Jiu.

Wen Jiu smiled and said nothing.

The senior sister did the same thing when she came down the mountain and never said goodbye to them.

She still remembered the day before she went down the mountain, she stood under the peach blossom tree and smiled openly: "It's not like I'm leaving forever. If we can meet again, what's the point of saying goodbye?"

Yes, we can meet again anyway, so what’s the point of saying goodbye?

"Girl, the carriage is already waiting outside. It's time to pack up and enter the palace."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zisu reminded him in a low voice.
