Moonlight Allure

Chapter 91

After all, it is Kyoto, at the foot of the emperor, even in the hot summer, the streets are still crowded with people.The cries of street vendors are endless, and it is really a bustling scene.

Luo Qingyan strolled leisurely by herself. It has been nearly a year since she came to this world, and this is the second time she has gone shopping.The difference is that last time a large group of people followed, but this time she was the only one.The last time she was ejected in a wheelchair, this time she landed on both knuckles and walked out alone.

Looking at the simple people coming and going, the law-abiding hawkers and businessmen, and the gifted scholars and beauties reciting poems in teahouses...everything is so harmonious and peaceful.But who would have imagined that behind this calm, there will be a huge storm about to break out.Of course, these are royal battles.These down-to-earth ordinary people don't need to pay attention to it. It doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor anyway. As long as their lives can be peaceful and happy, they will be content.

Shaking my head, I really don't know whether to say that they are not ignorant or that they are easy to be satisfied.

As she walked, she felt a little dazed and didn't know what she was thinking.She knew that everyone around her was looking at her, because she didn't wear a veil today, and she was used to these gazes of admiration, obsession, jealousy and resentment, so she naturally didn't need to pay attention to them.

"Girl, take a look"

Beside him, a kind old man was setting up a small stall, smiling and calling out to the absent-minded Luo Qingyan.

"En?" She turned her head and saw the old woman's loving face, her eyes softened a little.

"Are you calling me?"

"Girl, let's take a look." The old man gestured to the pearls and emeralds and rouge gouache placed on the booth, with anticipation in his eyes.She looked old, at least five or sixty years old, plainly dressed, with a wrinkled face.The kindness on the face and the smile on the face make people feel kind.

She casually picked up a jasper hairpin and asked, "Grandma, why do you still come out to set up a stall at such an old age? Where are your children?" Her children don't care about her?An old man, who is quite old, wants to set up a small stall to make money in wind and rain.How can her children bear the heart?It was too much.

Hearing her words, the old man's face darkened, and he sighed: "The old woman, my husband's family died young, leaving only a son who was not yet one year old. Fortunately, the child is still filial and treats me well. He married again A gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law, although her life is not considered rich, she is also peaceful and happy. Who would have thought that in the early years of conscription..." She sighed again: "At that time, my grandson was not yet three years old." She was a little muddled There were crystal teardrops in his eyes, and his expression was sad and sorrowful.

"Then what happened afterwards?" Luo Qingyan asked

"The battlefield is ruthless...my son...was sacrificed in a war." She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "My daughter-in-law was too sad, so she went with her. I was an old woman and a five-year-old grandson. Seeing that the family has no economy

Source... I just had to set up a small stall and grab some money.My old woman is getting old and has already stepped into the coffin with one foot, so she can only live one day at a time.But my grandson is still young, no matter what, I can’t let the child be hungry.” She said, tears were about to fall again, and she quickly wiped them with her sleeve: “I’m sorry, I made you laugh.You must think that I am a nagging old woman. "There is guilt in her eyes.

"No." Luo Qingyan shook her head, staring at the hairpin in her hand in a daze.

The old man smiled when he saw this: "Girl, judging by your appearance and temperament, you should be a lady from a rich family. Forgive my old lady for my stupid eyes. How can these things be worthy of you. Sorry, let you listen to me nagging for so long .” She smiled apologetically, her expression gloomy.

"En?" Luo Qingyan came back to her senses: "No." She casually picked up a light blue bracelet and put it on her wrist: "I like these things very much." human eye.

"How much is this?" She picked up the hairpin just now and asked again.Although the hairpin was average in color and workmanship, she really liked it.At least it is light to wear, those Lingdang Yucui are too heavy to stay on.Not as good as these seemingly ordinary things.Seeing that she likes it, she picked a few more at random: "How much do these add up to?"

Looking at the things in her hand, the old lady was stunned for a moment: "Girl...you mean, you want all these things?"

"Yes, how much are these?"

"Oh... a total of five taels of silver"

"So cheap?" So many things for five taels?
"Yes." The old lady still had a loving smile on her face, but there was a little more gratitude in this smile.She could see that Luo Qingyan was helping her.

"Okay, I bought it." Luo Qingyan very straightforwardly picked out some rouge and gouache that she didn't usually like.When I took out the money, I suddenly realized that I didn't bring my wallet when I went out, and I was suddenly embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, grandma, I forgot to bring money." She said apologetically, "How about this?" Her eyes lit up, and she took off a crystal jade pendant around her waist: "I have worn this jade pendant since I was a child. Let me exchange this with you." The jade pendant is a top-quality Hetian jade, the jade is gentle and delicate, and the carving is exquisite, and it is worth at least 1000 taels of silver.

"No no no" the old lady quickly refused: "Girl, your jade pendant is more than enough to buy my ten stalls, I can't accept it"

Luo Qingyan was in trouble now, she would have let Huansha follow her if she knew it earlier, and she didn't have to face such an embarrassing situation.However, she admired this old man a little bit. Although life was difficult, her jade pendant was at least enough for their grandparents and grandchildren to live comfortably for ten years.She didn't want it?

But she has already picked something, so it's impossible not to let it go.Just when she didn't know what to do, a familiar voice rang in her ears.

"Unexpectedly, we met again so soon"

She raised her eyes, met the unrestrained Xiao Yuche, and raised her eyebrows: "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" He asked back, shaking the folding fan in his hand, looking like a handsome young man.

There was a smile in Luo Qingyan's eyes: "I'm encountering a little difficulty, since I can meet you, don't mind doing me a favor?"

"I'm so happy." Xiao Yuche smiled heartily.

"Do you have any money?" Luo Qingyan asked directly.

Eh? "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Give it to me" she unceremoniously stretched out her hand and asked him for it.

Although Xiao Yuche was puzzled, he untied his purse and handed it to Luo Qingyan.Luo Qingyan took it and didn't open it, and threw it directly to the old lady who was shopping: "Hey, old lady, these are all for you."

"How can this be done, no, no," the old lady quickly refused, "This is too much, I can't take it"

Luo Qingyan directly handed the money bag to her, "It can be accepted." She glanced at Xiao Yuche who seemed to be a little surprised by her actions: "This one is the Eighth Prince. The family defends the country, and he should help you both, grandparents and grandchildren.

You don't have to be polite to him.Big deal" She picked up a finely crafted wooden hairpin from the booth and inserted it directly on her head: "Hey, big deal I just add this." She smiled, completely ignoring the old lady's astonishment when she heard the Eighth Prince With an expression, he handed all the piles of red hairpins that he had just selected to the hands of Xiao Yuche who was standing aside stupidly, "Give these to your Eighth Prince and Concubine" and then left in a good mood.

Xiao Yuche was stunned for a while, then muttered softly: "I haven't married a wife yet."

Seeing that Luo Qingyan had gone far away, he came back to his senses: "Hey, wait for me." He threw the pile of things that Luo Qingyan handed over to him to the booth again, and then chased after him.All that was left was the old lady who thanked her gratefully behind her.

"Hey, why are you walking so fast?" Xiao Yuche chased after Luo Qingyan, and said dissatisfied beside her: "At least I helped you just now."

Luo Qingyan ignored his complaints and continued to meditate.Xiao Yuche was dissatisfied: "Hey, why don't you talk?"

Luo Qingyan stopped: "Hey what, I don't have a name?"

Xiao Yuche touched his nose and muttered, "Why are you so fierce? I didn't provoke you"

"Why are you still standing there?"

Luo Qingyan's words came from the front, and he hurriedly followed, "Hey... oh." He seemed to realize that the address was wrong, his eyes rolled, and the corner of his mouth showed a playful look: "Sister-in-law four"

Then she was satisfied to see Luo Qingyan stop, and she stared at him with sideways eyes: "My girl, I, Yunying, are not married, are you trying to get my reputation right?" This Xiao Yuche is stronger than that Xiao Ziqi. Naughty, really worthy of being a brother.

Xiao Yuche grinned, and opened the folding fan: "Anyway, you are going to marry Fourth Brother, so let's get used to it first."

Luo Qingyan ignored him, meditating on her own, frowning from time to time, as if thinking of something troublesome.

"Sister-in-law four, what are you thinking?" Xiao Yuche leaned over and asked curiously

Luo Qingyan gave him a cold look: "You can call Sisao again?"

Xiao Yuche was stunned by her cold eyes, he laughed awkwardly, and touched his nose.

"Then what should I call you?"

"Anything" Luo Qingyan walked forward: "Ziqiu calls me Qingyan, Xiao Ziqi calls me Yanyan, as for you, you can call me whatever you want."

"Ziqiu?" Xiao Yuche grasped these two intimate words, and followed curiously: "Are you familiar with Second Brother?" There were clearly probing and questioning in his eyes.

"Familiar with you." Luo Qingyan tossed three words to him lazily, then suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Is conscription by the imperial court mandatory?"

"En?" Facing Feng Mou who asked Shang Luo Qingyan indifferently, Xiao Yuche came back to his senses, and said with some embarrassment: "This... I haven't lived in the palace since I was a child, and I don't know much about the affairs of the court, so ..."

Disappointment flashed in Luo Qingyan's eyes: "Forget it, I knew I wouldn't get any results from asking."

That attitude, in Xiao Yuche's eyes, was arrogant and frivolous.He couldn't help frowning, thinking, why did the fourth brother fall in love with her?After thinking about it, he still had to keep up.

"Hey... Oh Qingyan" He thought for a while, but this title is more appropriate: "Why are you asking this?"

"Just ask." Luo Qingyan obviously didn't want to get entangled in this issue.When I raised my eyes, I came to the door of a restaurant called 'Drunk Fairy House'.I didn't eat much this morning, and I went shopping for a long time. At this time, I really feel empty and hungry.looked sideways

Xiao Yuche took a look: "Do you still have any money with you?" She gave all the bag of silver to the old lady just now, and she didn't know if he still had any silver notes on him.

"Eh? Yes, what's the matter?"

"That's good." She looked at the signboard of Zuixianju: "I'm hungry, but I didn't bring any money, so this meal... I'll invite you." She said it bluntly, like Xiao Yuche owe her the same.

Xiao Yuche pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, who told you to be my future fourth sister-in-law?" He said the latter sentence very quietly, but Luo Qingyan heard it, and didn't care about him immediately.

"Let's go then"
