Small peasant girl in space: under the fence of the flower field

Chapter 321

It would be a lie to say that she is not nervous. Hua Xiaoqiao feels very nervous when she thinks about it now. How could she not feel anything at all, so she said helplessly: "In your heart, you may think it's nothing. After all, he is your father, even if he is a high-ranking father Your father, but I'm different, for me he is a person of high authority, even if I see him, I feel pressure all over my body, can I not go if I don't want to go?"

She originally thought that Qin Mu would agree if she begged, but how did she know that Qin Mu refused directly: "No, Xiao Qiao, I am thinking for the sake of the two of us. If you don't go to the palace now, how can you have a chance to meet other princes? You can only get to know more When I leave, they will be able to take care of you."

Hua Xiaoqiao always felt very embarrassed when she heard this, after all, she had to know all kinds of worries in her heart now.

"But it's really inappropriate for me to go now. Think about what identity I use to go to the palace now?"

She was still reluctant, but Qin Mu was very patient this time: "Little Qiao, you listen to me and I won't harm you, right. Just follow me to the palace and you don't have to worry about anything else."

He didn't believe that with a good tongue, he couldn't talk to Hua Xiaoqiao. In short, if Hua Xiaoqiao went to the palace, it would be very beneficial to him, and the marriage might be possible.

Hua Xiaoqiao knows that she has fallen into a big pit now, but she has no choice but to do what she agreed to. Besides, Qin Mu is also very good, knowing that she is looking for the best shop, she will use her relationship to find her a suitable shop. The shop, but now that the family has not moved out, she can only wait for the time being.

But Qin Mu is still very strong. Now that Qin Mu has asked repeatedly, she can't always do things according to her own temperament. Now the relationship between the two is actually similar to cooperation. She also knows this situation, so she can only sigh and agree. : "Well, tell me in advance when you are going to the palace, let's come here today, I still have something to go out."

She has been in the mansion for the past few days, and she hasn't gone out to see it for a long time. It is inevitable that she will be a little depressed. Besides, she is originally a person who can't stand loneliness.

Qin Mu saw the helplessness in Hua Xiaoqiao's eyes and knew that he was a little embarrassed. Hua Xiaoqiao persuaded: "Xiao Qiao, don't worry too much, you have to trust me, no matter what happens, the person standing behind you is me, I I will never leave you alone.”

Hua Xiaoqiao couldn't help feeling a little relieved when she heard this.

She smiled slightly and said, "That's good. As long as I have your words, I will feel confident in everything I do. I may go out now and come back very late."

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't take her maid with her when she went out, she still wasn't used to being accompanied, although it was much more convenient to have a maid by her side, but she always felt like she was being watched, and it was hard for her to refuse to be arranged by Qin Mu .

After leaving the palace, she looked around and decided to choose a street with more people to walk around. She has been here for so many days and only went out to see the outside world that day.

Walking on the street, Hua Xiaoqiao was in an unspeakably happy mood, feeling like a caged bird soaring into the sky, and that joyful feeling made her feel relaxed all over.

People come and go on the street, and people in different clothes can be seen walking up and down the street from time to time. We all know the prosperity of Splendid City, so it is normal to see such a situation. Besides, the Silk Road Foreign trade is very developed. In Jinxiu City, you can see people from the Western Regions as well as people from far, far away.

When she comes out, she prefers to go to places with more people. She inquired a lot of news in the teahouse that day, and today she doesn’t plan to go to the teahouse. She just went to a wonton stall on the street and ordered a bowl of wonton. stand up.

As soon as she ate the wonton, she thought of Shunbo, who used to do wonton business on the street when she was in Tongzhou. At that time, she often went to take care of the business, but now thinking about it, the time has changed and she doesn't know how it is now.

There were two middle-aged men sitting next to them. They were drinking some wine and eating some side dishes. Hua Xiaoqiao was very attentive when she saw that the Chaos stall also sold some braised vegetables.

"Did you hear that Prince Jin came back from the border?" One of the slightly fatter men put a piece of pork head in his mouth and said with gusto.

The slightly thinner man beside him nodded his head and took a sip of his wine, feeling a little worried: "This Prince Jin is a good man, I'm afraid that one won't let it go, you see how many princes have died in just a few years. , but all the lords who were called back to Splendid City will not end well in the end, and the few remaining ones are probably feeling uneasy and everyone is in danger." Things are a little helpless.

The man who was a little fatter also sighed and said: "It's a pity that sometimes the heavens don't have eyes. The good people often don't get good things, and the bad people always go smoothly. You can hear that at the border Prince Jin is very kind to the soldiers at the border, and everyone praises them."

"I've also heard of this. Prince Jin ate and slept with the soldiers at the Border Pass. Another person could do this. Even if he went, I think he was just bullying others based on his own status."

The thin man became more and more angry as he talked, and finally took a big sip of wine.

The owner of the chaotic stall came over with two bowls of wontons and put them on the table to remind him in a low voice: "Be careful what you say. If the officials overhear you, be careful that you can't leave. It's not good to cause trouble for nothing."

The boss reminded the two of them not to talk anymore. When it came to other things, Hua Xiaoqiao felt that there might be a lot of things that could be used. For example, the prince is obviously unpopular now, and she only now knows that the prince is too violent. .

After eating wonton, I feel comfortable all over.

She stood up to check out, but saw the owner of the wonton stall shaking his head again and again, with a preoccupied look on his face.

"Why is the boss worried?"

She thinks that the boss's business is very good, so she should be happy, but now she is so worried, there must be something wrong.

The shopkeeper sighed helplessly: "It's not because of the world. The money I earned today is estimated to be taken away later. I have been busy all day long..."

After speaking, he sighed heavily and continued to do his own thing.

Hua Xiaoqiao also understands how chaotic the world is now. When it comes to sympathizing with anyone, she really doesn't need to. After all, many people can't control themselves now.

After she checked out and left, she felt that someone was following behind her. She didn't know why she was so sensitive, but she felt that there was a tail following behind her all the time. She frowned slightly and suddenly thought of something bad in her heart.

These people have been following her since the wonton stall. She didn't pay attention to this matter at first, but after walking a long distance, she realized that it was a very important matter, so she deliberately slowed down, and it turned out to be good for these people She also slowed down her pace, now thinking about it, these people must have come here with her, the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that these people's whereabouts are secretive and harboring malicious intentions.

Qin Mu reminded her before that she must pay attention to the prince. The prince must be interested in her when he sees her, and the prince is a person who will never give up until he achieves his goal. Prince, it is because she has encountered so many things that she has to think wildly.

She thought for a while and walked into the restaurant, and sat down near the door.

Sure enough, after a while, two young men in blue clothes came in, looked at her furtively, and then sat not far from her.

She glanced at the two of them and pretended not to know anything, ordered a pot of tea and paid for it directly, as if she was going to sit down and stay for a while.

And the two men also wanted a pot of tea, but they kept looking at her.

Hua Xiaoqiao is now basically 100% sure that these two people came to find her. She sat down and drank water for about a quarter of an hour. She saw one of them rushing to the backyard to use the toilet. So he stood up and ran out.

When she came in, she saw a shop selling rouge and gouache not far from the street. The business inside was very good. She also saw that the rouge and gouache shop had a second floor, so she ran in and went upstairs.

She was sure that the man didn't see her coming in. Standing by the window on the second floor and looking downstairs, she happened to see the man looking around in a panic. She quickly stuck her head in and pretended to be a guest to pick out the rouge and powder.

These things are definitely not needed for her, but as a woman, it is inevitable that she should prepare a little by her side, so she randomly picked some that she likes.

The person who bought something inside was naturally happy, and she asked the shopkeeper a little embarrassed, "I wonder if the shopkeeper has a back door here?"

The shopkeeper just started Hua Xiaoqiao's business and made money. He was happy in his heart. He happened to hear Hua Xiaoqiao's question and immediately replied: "Of course there is a back door. Does the lady want to go out through the back door?"

Hua Xiaoqiao nodded in embarrassment and leaned into the shopkeeper's ear and said a few words, and the shopkeeper immediately asked the little maid to take her out through the back door in the backyard on the first floor.

As soon as she went out, there was an alley, and she didn't dare to stay for too long, walked out from the other side of the alley, and then returned directly to the palace.

She was very worried that these were all the prince's people and she was a little anxious when something like this happened, so she quickly found Qin Mu.

Qin Mu, who was reading a book, looked at Hua Xiaoqiao in puzzlement, and worried when he saw Hua Xiaoqiao's panicked face: "What's wrong with you?"

He was very worried and asked why Hua Xiaoqiao was like this. He didn't say that he had something to do when he went out, so why did he become like this when he came back.

Hua Xiaoqiao sat down and took a sip of the water brought by the maid, then looked at Qin Mu and said, "I was followed at the market today. I suspect that the person who followed me was the prince's people."

Qin Mu immediately put down the book and was very concerned about this matter: "Are you really being followed?"

Hua Xiaoqiao nodded seriously: "Yes, I'm sure I was being followed Qin Mu, you don't know what would have happened if I hadn't run so fast today, I went out to walk around but I felt someone Followed, and then I randomly found an inn and went in to order a pot of tea, and I escaped while one of them was going to the toilet, if it weren't for the back door of the spice shop, I might not have escaped."

She was not sure if those two people were still on that street, but she thought that if she really went out from the main gate, she might be put on the sidelines. Fortunately, it was all over now, and it would be safe to return to the palace.

Qin Mu frowned worriedly and worried: "This incident is very unusual, Xiao Qiao, are you sure someone is really following you?"

He didn't send anyone to follow Hua Xiaoqiao, because he knew that Hua Xiaoqiao didn't take her maid out because he obviously had scruples in his heart. Although he was worried about Hua Xiaoqiao, he also knew to leave some space for Hua Xiaoqiao, so he let Hua Xiao Qiao went out alone, but she didn't want to encounter so many things when she went out alone. Seeing Hua Xiao Qiao panicked, she must have been frightened.

Hua Xiaoqiao thought that Qin Mu didn't believe her and was very anxious: "It's true, can I still lie to you, someone is really following me, I wonder if the person following me is the prince's person, and I just got married today Knowing that the crown prince is domineering in this Splendid City, to be honest, I think you really have a bright future."

She knew that Prince Jin was very popular, and often this was enough. A well-loved person would inevitably get a lot of unusual luck.

Qin Mu didn't care about Hua Xiaoqiao's last sentence. What he was worried about was who was following Hua Xiaoqiao. It was obvious that the other party had a strong purpose.

It is also smart for Hua Xiaoqiao to be able to come back: "In the future, you don't want to go out alone. I will ask the servants and maids to follow you. You don't want to go out easily until the dust of the marriage that the emperor promised us is settled. The crown prince doesn't want me. You decide your own marriage, you are a stumbling block now, he used extreme methods to deal with stumbling blocks, I don't want to hurt you because of this, do you understand?"

"Understood." Hua Xiaoqiao smiled slightly knowing that Qin Mu really cared about her.

Qin Mu frowned, but he was thinking about what the prince was going to do. Now that he thought about it, the prince must hate Hua Xiaoqiao very much. After all, Hua Xiaoqiao's existence interrupted all his plans.

"Little Qiao must not go out these few days. It is best to stay in the palace. The prince is really ruthless in doing things."

Hua Xiaoqiao knew that the prince was not a kind person, so forget about the things she did to other princes before, and she said that she saw what she did to Qin Mu with her own eyes.

She was very nervous and a little worried: "But what about the business, everything is under preparation now, if we don't go out, there is no way to proceed. I guess Pang Peng has already started."

Now that communication is so underdeveloped, it takes several months to receive a letter, and the time changes in these few months are too great.

The connection with Pang Peng has also become so subtle, and Hua Xiaoqiao often has to guess what Pang Peng will do next when she reads the letter, or she really doesn't know how to deal with everything.

So now she is very worried that Pang Peng has already started and she has no preparations at all. The plan before continuing like this is simply impossible to carry out. It is precisely because of this that she is so worried now that she wants to open the bank as soon as possible. .

Only in this way can he keep up with Pang Peng's progress and not be delayed.
