Chapter 26

Su Jiu looked at his curved brows and eyes, and three words floated in his mind:
undeserved...

She touched her purse and looked out the window.

She used to sell herbal medicine in Jinling City, and she also came to the old courtyard.

She remembered that there was an incense shop nearby, which was one of the best incense shops in Jinling City, and she really wanted to visit it.

Just thinking about it, several maids brought out Xiao Tingchen's breakfast.

The smoked fish noodle is delicious.

Su Jiu had never eaten such delicious noodles.

She glanced at Xiao Tingchen eating gracefully across the way, and restrained herself, resisting the urge to feast, and savored slowly.

And Xiao Tingchen had a panoramic view of her demeanor and movements.

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the copper bracelet on her wrist, and the young man's thin lips hooked lightly.

really,

A phoenix is ​​a phoenix.

Even though he grew up in a sparrow's nest, what flows in his veins is still the nobility of the phoenix.

After the two of them finished their breakfast, Xiao Tingchen asked Su Jiu to carry the packaged pastries, and rubbed her head again, "I'm going to meet a bastard, and you can walk around by yourself. Don't go to remote places, if you are caught I don't care if kidnappers are sold to flower houses."

"How can I be so stupid that I was kidnapped by a kidnapper?"

Su Jiu argues.

Xiao Tingchen thought to himself that he coaxed her into Xiao's mansion with ten taels of silver, how could she be so smart...

However, this cannot be said.

Su Jiu came out of the Begonia Pavilion, recalled it carefully, and headed east.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, she finally found the Xiangmanlou.

Xiangmanlou is gorgeous and luxurious, even the inscriptions on the plaques are inlaid with gold.

When she stepped into the threshold, all kinds of incense powder and pills were displayed in the lobby, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going.

A maid came forward with a smile, "What spices do you want to buy?"

Holding his purse, Su Jiu raised his head and said, "I'm here to sell incense."

The maid was startled, seeing that she was dressed as a maid from the mansion of the aristocratic family, fearing that she might have some background, she led her to the counter and explained the situation to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at Su Jiu, lowered his head and continued to settle accounts, "Our Xiangmanlou is a famous incense shop in Jinling City, and we only serve famous people. We don't buy messy incense pills. You should sell them elsewhere."

Su Jiu's face was full of expectation, "The incense I made smells good, just try burning one and you'll know—"

"Get out of the way!" Several maids pushed her away unceremoniously, "Miss Xu is here!"

Su Jiu was pushed to the side, and saw a young girl in a white silk Hunan embroidered skirt and a veiled hat, with an elegant demeanor, walking gracefully.

Seeing the girl in white, the shopkeeper hurriedly dropped his abacus, and came out from behind the counter beaming, "Oh, why did the fairy come to Xiangmanlou in person today? What a rare visitor! But the fairy made some good incense pills again? Come on, please come upstairs. !"

As he spoke, he kicked the servant next to him fiercely, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go up to make tea?!"

Su Jiu watched as they surrounded the girl going upstairs, and heard the people next to him discussing:

"Who is that girl? What a big show!"

"She is the eldest lady of the Xu Mansion, and she is also a rare incense-making genius in Jinling City! I heard that the incense pills and dew she made have always been the best sellers in Xiangmanlou!"

"Then why did the shopkeeper call her a fairy? Could it be because she is good-looking?"

"Nonsense! Look at her figure, how can she be ugly?! In addition, she likes to wear white clothes. When the wind blows, she really looks like a fairy descending from the earth. That's why she got this nickname!"

Someone else added:
"Later, her name was included in the Tianxiang list. If she wanted to get a name, she simply strung it with her own name and took the title 'Purple Bead Fairy'."

Su Jiu asked casually: "May I ask what is the Tianxiang List?"

The man was contemptuous, "I don't even know about the Tianxiang List, but I still dare to boast that the incense I made smells good, what a joke!"

Su Jiu was silent, and left Xiangmanlou alone with his purse in his hands.

She stood under the peach blossom tree by the street, lowered her head and sniffed her purse lightly.

In the restaurant facing the street, a young boy with wheat skin was sitting cross-legged in front of the low window, hugging a pretty girl and making out.

He was born with deep eyes and a high nose, with a high tuft of black hair, a few strands of slender braids strung with gold beads hanging from his temples, and a gold ring on each earlobe.

Wearing white clothes with narrow sleeves on the left lapel, a leather belt decorated with rhino horn and elephant bones is tied around the waist. The belt is full of unique bronze knives, purses and other sundries.

He looked at Su Jiu under the peach blossom tree with a smile, and his voice was very magnetic: "Good brother, is that your little girl?"

Xiao Tingchen, who was eating wine, heard the words, looked out the window, and saw Su Jiu.

The little girl is wearing a carnation white shirt and skirt, half arms of orange and apricot yellow, and an apricot yellow ribbon is tied on each of her buns.

Her bangs were gently fluttered by the breeze, her face was white and tender.

She was standing in the shade of a tree dappled with light and shadow, holding her purse and sniffing lightly.

With a clean and dusty appearance, he is out of tune with the people around him, like a budding lily in the mountains and fields.

The foreign boy whistled frivolously, "Brother, this little girl looks so juicy! Why don't you sell her to me for ten taels of silver?"

Xiao Tingchen smiled, "What did you say?"

The young man shyly said, "I'm short of a maid by my side. It's hard to find a cute girl. It would be nice to buy it and serve me. When I grow up, I can warm the bed. You are so stingy..."

"Jin Shi wake up, watch your mouth."

Xiao Tingchen said coldly, picked up his bag and left the restaurant.

The boy named Jin Shixing stuck out his tongue stubbornly.
