Flowers are expensive

Chapter 295 Familiar Strangers
"I don't blame anyone," Qiao Yuan said with a smile on her pale face, "You and I are our own masters. Besides, Mrs. Lihua died because we attacked Prince You's Mansion. It's true... …what!"

Taking advantage of Qiao Yuan's speech, Zhao Xun took Qiao Yuan's arm back neatly, and then took the other back.Qiao Yuan was dizzy from the pain, and leaned against Zhao Xun's arms weakly.She took a long breath and said, "I'd rather you finish me now than use me to lure master and Qingyi."

"Master hates that Baiyexiang very much, and even more so hates your master Qingshui."

"The Baiyexiang was indeed developed by my master, but he himself did not expect that he would harm a person who did not know kung fu at all. When he handed the Baiyexiang to Yunniang in the Qingchuan Ranch, he told thousands of times that this Mixiang The toxicity is too strong to be used on ordinary people, who knows..."

"You mean Yun Jinling from Qingchuan Ranch?"

"Yes," Qiao Yuan nodded and said with difficulty, "Bai Yexiang was given to her at the beginning. In fact, my master didn't care about anything other than being able to heal people and make poison... Cough cough cough..."

Zhao Xun nodded, and said: "Stop talking, I'll take you back to the inn. With me here, the master shouldn't make things difficult for you. Although his temper is getting weirder and weirder, sometimes even the ice is broken. I don't even know what he's thinking, but I haven't lost my mind yet. Let's go back to the inn."

That night, the Youwang Mansion and his party settled in the Nongmen Inn.For the next two days, they have been quietly waiting for Qing Yi or Qing Cong to appear.

On the afternoon of the third day, when the sun was at its strongest, Yuan Yin took Yan Amber out of the inn gate and started wandering on the street.Yan Amber crossed her hands and asked, "Master, do you think Qing Yi will come?"

Yuan Yin replied blankly: "He will come."

"How do you know?"

"My guess."

"what?"

Under the scorching sun, the stone slabs of the street were a little hot, and they were rushing upwards.Yan Amber followed Yuan Yin slowly, flustered by the heat, but she didn't dare to talk too much.Who made his master now have another habit, often in a state of contemplation, and would get angry when disturbed, so he had to follow behind and slap his face with his sleeve vigorously, it's hot!

"It's hot?" Yuan Yin suddenly stopped and asked.

"Yes... just a little bit... Master, have you recovered?" Yan Amber asked cautiously.

"Go sit there."

Yuan Yin refers to a herbal tea stall.At this time, there were not many people in the booth, so the two found a table and sat down.The tea seller, Mrs. Hu hurriedly got up and poured the tea and sent it over with a smile.

Yuan Yin picked up the tea bowl and didn't drink it, but just stared at the surface of the tea in a daze.Whenever he came to this kind of rural place and saw this kind of crude tea bowl, he would always think of the days when he and Lihua were in Zique Village.Every time he thinks about it, he feels——life is better than death!
"Master, why don't you drink it?" Yan Amber drank two big bowls in a row.

"Do you like it here?" Yuan Yin put down the tea bowl and looked sadly at the big banyan tree next to him.

"Here? It's pretty good. I heard that there is a Peach Blossom Festival held here every year. It's a pity that we don't come here at the right time. We should come two months earlier. Maybe we can still see the peach blossoms in full bloom!"

"Is it better here or Jingyou City?"

"Eh?" Yan Amber noticed that her master's expression was wrong again, she rolled her eyes and said, "Then it's Jingyou City! How can the countryside compare with Jingyou City? Master, do you like this place? "

It's not that Yuanyin likes this place, but that Lihua wanted to come here from the beginning.It's a pity that people go and the scene is still there, no matter how you look at it or how you think about it, it feels desolate.

Yan Amber turned her head and murmured in her heart: "It's over, I'm starting to lose my mind again, when will this happen again! Brother Bingcan, help me!"

While Yuan Yin was thinking, Aunt Hu suddenly waved to the street and said, "Xixi! Xixi! Come here! Do you hear that? Liang Xixi, where are your ears? Hurry up, my aunt is looking for you. !" The country woman's bright voice instantly pulled Yuan Yin's spirit back.He frowned, and when he was about to get angry, a delicate fragrance floated into his breath, like a cup of herbal tea that could extinguish the flames, instantly quenching his anger by two-thirds.

"What are you doing?" A clear and pleasant voice entered Yuan Yin's ears along with the fragrance.He looked up and saw that it was a young girl in her twenties.The girl walked past him and sat directly on the vacant bench opposite him, with her back to him and Amber talking to Mrs. Hu, holding a sachet in her hand, and the fragrance came from there .

"Xixi, shouldn't you go to Chengdu to open Xiangfenghe?" Aunt Hu asked Xixi with a smile.

"My waist is twisted!" Xixi habitually flicked her cute sachet, completely ignoring the gaze of the man behind her.

"Twisted your waist? You're lying! I saw that you went to the field to catch fish with Han Zheng yesterday, and ran up the mountain to play today. How does it look like you have a twisted waist?"

Xixi smiled, put away the sachet, leaned back on the table and said, "It's all right after twisting it! Aunt Hu, what's the matter with you?"

"I want you to grab some herbal tea recipes for me. Isn't Doctor Xiang and Man'er here? I'm waiting to use it, so you grab it for me?"

"I know how to grab the medicine, but I don't know the price. I'll bring you the stuff first, and you'll pay him when Uncle Xiang comes back." Xixi's hands and feet never stopped. When it started to sway, Aunt Hu couldn't help but tapped her knee lightly with a fly-swatting bamboo swatter and said, "Girl, how ugly it is to sway your legs! In the future, if you marry a man, your in-laws will despise you, so hurry up and put it away." .”

Xixi giggled and said, "Don't worry, I never thought about getting married."

"If the girl's family doesn't marry, who will support you in the future?"

"I support myself!"

"That's what you said... Hey, Madam heard about it. Doctor Xiang proposed marriage to you?"

"Where is it! It's nothing like that!" Xixi laughed, "Brother Xiangfeng is going to marry Shuyuan, a well-known family in the city. I can't afford it, so let's play by myself!"

"Really?" Aunt Hu asked with a smile on her face asking for gossip, "Then what kind of man do you want to marry? Tell the aunt, and the aunt will help you calculate the total. Come to my booth for tea There are quite a few buyers and sellers, maybe I can spot one for you!"

Xixi got up, shook the sachet as usual and said with a smile: "I thank you for your kindness, I'm afraid the man I'm looking for doesn't exist in this world!"

"Hey, yo," said Aunt Hu, flicking her tongue, "This is too much! Could it be that you still want to marry the emperor?"

"Then you are wrong, the emperor is the last thing I want to marry in my life!"

"You can't get married, right?" A familiar woman next to her teased.

"Go!" Xixi disdainfully said, "How about marrying the emperor? He wants to occupy so many women by himself, and the Sangong and Six Courtyards serve him. Does it mean that if he wants to rule the world, all the women in the world must serve him? Didn’t the era of Yao, Shun and Yu have no Sangongs and Six Courts? People still govern the world as usual, I think it’s all the emperor’s hypocrisy!”

Everyone sitting next to him laughed.Aunt Hu pointed at Xixi, clapped her legs and laughed, "This girl's mouth is really a flood vent, she dares to leak everything!"

Yan Amber couldn't help laughing, and then glanced at the master next to her, and suddenly found that the master's gaze had actually stopped on the girl named Xixi.He was so surprised, how long has it been since the master has seen a girl like this?

Xixi laughed too, and said: "The fact is so! I am lustful and lustful, so why make so many excuses, saying that the country and the country continue the bloodline? So, the last thing I want to marry is the emperor!"

"Then who do you want to marry? A scholar? A businessman? Or a dignitary?" Aunt Hu asked.

Xixi shook her head, put her hips on her hips and said with a smile: "This kind of person is a rare animal in your place, and it is on the verge of extinction. It is useless to say it."

"Say it, Xixi! The aunt still doesn't believe it. I really can't find it?"

"That's right, let's hear it!" The people next to him booed.

"Okay, just say what you say, there is nothing to say anyway," Xixi put one hand on the table and smiled, "The person I am looking for is someone who will only marry me in this life, who will not take concubines or keep a wife. I don’t look at other women more than once, and I will spend my whole life alone. Aunt Hu, tell me, is it easy to find?”

"Yo, Xixi, are you too picky? It's not uncommon for men to marry wives and concubines. Do you still care about this?"

"Not only do I care, this is what I care about the most. If I can't find it, I, Liang Xixi, would rather die alone! Let's go, Mrs. Hu! The medicinal materials will be brought to you in a while!" Xixi put the sachet on her shoulder, Gao Excited to leave.

"Wait." Yuan Yin said suddenly.

Xixi didn't care, and continued walking forward with the sachet on her shoulders.Yan Amber quickly stopped her: "Girl, please stay!"

"Is something wrong?" Xixi turned around and asked.

When she turned around, she realized that the man in black with a cold face looked from the side... pretty good!Why didn't I find out just now?Hehe...he's still a handsome guy!She was happy to talk to the handsome guy, walked back and asked with a smile, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Sachet." Yuan Yin only spit out two words, without any expression on his face.

"Sachet? What's wrong with the sachet?" Xixi looked at him puzzled and asked.

Yan Amber suddenly understood what her master meant, and hurriedly took out a piece of silver weighing about four taels and put it on the table, saying: "You leave the sachet, and the silver will belong to you."

"Ah?" Xixi was so surprised, she looked down at the sachet in her hand, wondering if it was worth that much money?

"I don't want to? This piece of silver should be enough to buy your sachet?" Yan Amber asked.

Xixi was a little hesitant, the money was enough, enough to buy fifty sachets like hers, but she was wondering why this cool-looking man was interested in her sachets?However, being optimistic by nature, she thought about it, it would be nice for her sachet to be bought by such a handsome guy, so she nodded in agreement.

Yuan Yin took the sachet, got up and left without saying a word.Yan Amber quickly paid the bill and followed.Xixi tossed the piece of silver in her hand, and followed slowly, staring at this strange master and servant, wondering who the hell is that man?It's quite generous!
Looking at it, Xixi's expression suddenly changed, because she saw the man casually throwing the empty sachet bag on the side of the road, leaving only the spice inside.Xixi's eyes widened in an instant, what does this mean?Can't you look down on it?Hey, how can you spoil my girl's things like this?She suddenly had a feeling of being humiliated, and quickly chased after him holding the silver.

"Wait!" Xixi stopped Yuan Yin panting,

Yuan Yin glanced at her coldly, looked away and did not speak.Yan Amber asked: "Girl, isn't the money enough?"

"Silver," Xixi shook the piece of silver, threw it back to Yan Amber and said, "Return the silver to you! My sachet—give it back to me!" She reached out and quickly snatched it from Yuan Yin's palm That spice inside.

Yuan Yin didn't expect it, when he wanted to pull his hand, Xixi had already snatched it away, leaving only a trace of warmth from Xixi's fingers.He froze for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at Xixi with his habitually cold eyes.
