The sturdy farmer's wife: the prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 416 Night Market
It was midsummer when the three of them were on the road, and summer was already hot, and Yongning also wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears, so the three of them divided into two carriages, and announced to the public that the three of them were a family who came to Beijing to visit their relatives.

Yongning and Yang Yuanxiang pretended to be sisters, and Xie Shaoting was Yongning's brother-in-law, but if she returned to the capital, she would not be Yongning, but the emperor's younger sister living among the people. Hong Ling was still considering what title to give her.

The trip of the three of them was limited. After taking off the clothes they wore in the mansion, Yang Yuanxiang changed into simple clothes, which were the clothes usually worn by rich and noble families. They were neither too shabby nor too eye-catching.

The three of them were accompanied by sisters Yuesheng and Yuezheng, Xie Xing, Xie Ang, and Yongning's girl, Lan'er. The children were all left in southern Yunnan. Anyway, there were people in the house to take care of them, so they didn't stay for a long time. In the capital, there is no need to worry too much.

After walking for a day, we rested in a small shop.

When eating in the evening, Xie Shaoting originally wanted to have someone deliver it to his room, but Yang Yuanxiang wanted to see the scenery outside, and it would not be good for Yongning to eat alone, so the three of them simply arranged on the platform on the second floor of the small shop. table, ready to eat.

This small shop is a shop in a small town, not an inn, but with five or six rooms, it can be regarded as a carriage and horse shop at best.

Most of the guests who come and go are merchants traveling to and from southern Yunnan and other places. The three of them sitting in this large group of people are not particularly conspicuous.

Not far from the three of them, a few maids sat at a table with Xie Xing and Xie Ang. As for the rest of the subordinates, they usually ate in batches.

As soon as he sat down, Yang Yuanxiang seemed a little excited.

"I haven't been to southern Yunnan yet. I didn't expect that this time I went to a place as far away as the capital. I don't know if the capital is as prosperous as Dali."

Xie Shaoting smiled as he picked up some food for Yang Yuanxiang.

"The capital city is more prosperous than Dali, and the local customs are not the same. If you like to go to the capital city, I will accompany you to take a stroll. Don't be too restrained in Yongning and eat food. Naturally, the food outside is not as good as at home. You two have to eat full."

Yongning nodded, looked at Xie Shaoting and smiled.

I don't know why, when she looked at Xie Shaoting in the past, she always felt that Xie Shaoting was a man, but now when she looked at Xie Shaoting, she felt that he was a family member, like a brother.

Every time she saw that Xie Shaoting treated Yang Yuanxiang well, Yong Ning had a special feeling in her heart. She felt that Xie Shaoting treated Yang Yuanxiang well, which was what she wanted to find in the future, and she also wanted to find a man who would treat her like this.

To live a peaceful life for the rest of her life, even if she can no longer be a princess, she is still willing to work with her husband at sunrise and rest at sunset watching the time flow by her side.

Looking at the brightly lit town, Yang Yuanxiang felt a little emotional.

"Brother Lin Sheng, look at that street. There are lanterns hanging all over the street. Could it be a lantern festival? But isn't it Midsummer now? Why is there a lantern festival?"

Looking at his wife like a curious child, Xie Shaoting served him a bowl of soup, looked at the street in the distance and laughed.

"You don't know, this small town is often visited by merchants from all over the country. The residents in this town are very hospitable. Every midsummer, the town will be decorated with lanterns and festoons. People from all over the country will Handicrafts can be seen here, because there are more merchants coming and going, and more people buying things, and the people here are not poor."

Yang Yuanxiang looked at it a few more times curiously, and then became a little distracted from eating.

"Then can I go and see later?"

Seeing her joyful appearance, like an innocent girl, Xie Shaoting couldn't help laughing, and was a little dazed.

He always felt that it was unreal for his wife to be around, and sometimes he even felt that Yang Yuanxiang was the same Yang Yuanxiang who had just married him a few years ago, not like the mother of several children.

In fact, it is not Yang Yuanxiang's fault. She gave birth at a young age, plus she worked very hard in labor before, and her body recovered well. It is not unusual for her to look like a young girl.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Seeing Xie Shaoting staring at him, Yang Yuanxiang stopped moving, and blushed immediately.

"You look good, I was just thinking, why do you still look like a young girl after giving birth? Could it be that you have some magic tricks?"

Yang Yuanxiang laughed.

"Brother Lin Sheng, stop making trouble, tell my sister to laugh when she sees it, right sister."

Yongning smiled slightly.

"I don't understand what my sister and brother-in-law said. Just say it yourself. Don't count me in."

The three of them laughed, and after dinner Yang Yuanxiang clamored to go out for a stroll. Xie Shaoting thought that she had never traveled far, so it was rare that she wanted something, so he took Xie Xing, Xie Ang and Yue Zhengyue Sheng went to the night market together.

Of course, Yongning didn't come. She now treats Yang Yuanxiang and his wife more as a friend, and the previous feeling of envy and attachment is gone.

When they came to the night market, Xie Shaoting and Yang Yuanxiang walked in front, Xie Xing and others followed from a distance, if they followed too closely, they would disturb Yang Yuanxiang and Xie Shaoting to enjoy.

"Brother Lin Sheng, what is this? Why are there so many little dolls?"

Xie Shaoting glanced at it, then smiled slightly.

"This is a doll from Lao Maozi's country in the north. There are seven dolls in total, and some are five. One is nestled inside the other, and each is smaller than the other."

Yang Yuanxiang happily held it in his hand.

"I want one."

Without further ado, Xie Shaoting directly paid for a few different ones, asked the shopkeeper to pack them in paper bags, and carried them in his hands for Yang Yuanxiang.

Xie Shaoting's generous spending of money has attracted the attention of some people. The eyes of several big men not far away seem to grow on their bodies, and they are unwilling to move away.

"Brother, how is it? This fat sheep is always okay, right? That man is handsome, he looks like the young master of a rich family, and the woman is not bad-looking, as if she was pursued by that man, didn't you see it? Woman Whatever you want, men will buy it for you.”

The man called Big Brother took a look at Yang Yuanxiang.

"We still need a Mrs. Yazhai in our cottage. I think this little girl is very good. Take her back to be Mrs. Yazhai, and tie the man back together. When you find out where his home is, find someone to get it. Ransom, seeing how he spends money like water, we are afraid we have encountered a big fish."

A few people laughed as they spoke, and the corners of Xie Shaoting's mouth moved slightly. He was originally a martial arts practitioner. Although he seldom made shots, he had excellent hearing. These people were not far from him and Yang Yuanxiang. Yang Yuanxiang couldn't hear, but that didn't mean he couldn't hear. .

Because he was afraid of disturbing Yang Yuanxiang, Xie Shaoting just turned around and gave Xie Xing a wink, and then continued to walk away with his lovely wife.
