"You two shameless bastards! I, Old Zhou, clearly saw this young master. If anyone wants to arrange a marriage, they should come to me. Everyone knows I'm the most famous matchmaker in the capital. Young master, you..."
"Oh, young master, please don't go..."
"It's all your fault, you scared the young master away."
"It's all your fault, I saw it first..."
The Third Prince and his companions walked quite a distance before stopping, and were now resting by the stone bridge.
"Hahaha, Third Brother, were those three matchmakers trying to set you up?"
Jing Le never expected that they would encounter such a thing as soon as they left the palace; it was simply too funny.
"Third Brother is so handsome." The Ninth Prince covered his mouth and smiled. He was clearly very happy, after all, this was his first time leaving the palace, and it was a very novel experience.
Duan Feibai's eyes crinkled with laughter as he looked at Jing Le with tenderness.
I couldn't help but feel grateful. It's so good to have a second chance. Everything is still possible. The world is still beautiful, and there's this special little person.
He will watch over her as she grows up, and no matter what she wants to do, she wants to follow her heart in this life and is happy to be by Jing Le's side.
"Don't make fun of me. When you three grow up, you'll be even better looking than me. The matchmakers will go crazy for you then, especially Fei Bai."
The third prince smiled helplessly. To be honest, he was the only one of the four who was of average handsome appearance; the other three were all good-looking.
"Third Brother, we're still young, there's no rush." When traveling, people usually address each other by age, so Duan Feibai also called the Third Prince Third Brother.
The group chatted and laughed as they continued their stroll.
Besides shopping, Jing Le also observes which stores are doing well, what products have a wide audience in this era, and what products are expensive but still do well.
We can use that as a reference when the time comes.
At this moment, an old man selling candied hawthorns not far from the street corner caught Jing Le's attention.
Strings of bright red hawthorns were piled high on the wooden stakes, and small sugar figurines were stuck into the lower tables, creating a vivid scene.
"Third Brother, candied hawthorn, it's candied hawthorn, I want to eat it."
Jing Le saw the longing in the Ninth Prince's eyes, but he was not good at expressing it, which made Jing Le's maternal instincts overflow and she felt very sorry for him.
I had no choice but to test the waters myself, and after shouting, I ran off towards the candied hawthorns.
Duan Feibai's gaze followed Jing Le the whole time, and he could naturally see what she was thinking. His heart softened; the little princess was so kind.
"Let's go, let's go too."
He gestured to the shy Ninth Prince beside him.
"Let's go, I haven't had candied hawthorns in a long time, let's relive it together today."
The Third Prince followed behind Jing Le with two others.
"Grandpa, give each of us a string of candied hawthorns first, and then draw a sugar figure in our likeness."
Jing Le grinned at the old man selling candy, looking quite adorable.
Seeing this, the old man happily handed over the candied hawthorn:
"Here you go, little one. Be careful when you eat it. There are pits in these hawthorns. You have to spit them out when you eat them, understand?"
The old man clearly saw the kindness in Jing Le's eyes and was deeply moved.
There are still more good people than bad in this world.
The more ordinary a person is, the easier it is to be satisfied and the easier it is to be happy.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Jingyue handed four strings of candied hawthorns to her older brothers behind her: "Brothers, eat up, Grandpa's candied hawthorns are so sweet."
Jing Le ate one first; it was sweet and sour, very appetizing, and she couldn't help but eat another one.
Her little mouth was covered in icing sugar, making her look like a little kitten.
Jing Le had already put the white tiger down from her arms. Seeing the four of them eating so happily, she wanted to eat too.
Its intelligence is now approaching that of humans, all thanks to Jing Le. It also knows how to be grateful, and it has already recognized its master.
It crawled to Jingle's feet, rubbed against her affectionately, rolled around, and even meowed like a cat: "Meow~"
In my mind, it said, "Master, are the candied hawthorns sweet? I want some too! Your cat wants some candied hawthorns too, meow~"
Jing Le nearly choked to death from Bai Hu's barking.
This white tiger is indeed very cute when it's shrunk in size, and the sounds it makes are also adorable.
However, the voice in my mind was that of an adult male, a very real and loud voice.
Imagine someone with an adorable appearance but a burly man inside, who then acts cute and meows.
Can you handle this?! w(?Д?)w
"That's enough, I'll buy it for you, I'll buy it for you." Jing Le quickly stopped this hardcore pouting and turned to the old man, saying, "Grandpa, give me another string of candied hawthorns."
"So tired, hold on tight."
After handing the candied hawthorn to Jingle, the old man continued painting. He was just about to paint Jingle when he saw Jingle interacting with the white cat, so he painted them together.
After the sugar figurine solidified, Jing Le's eyes widened instantly. She hadn't expected the old man to be so skilled; it looked exactly like the real thing.
"(⊙o⊙) Wow, the old man's cooking is so good, it looks so good that I can't bear to eat it."
After Jing Le finished speaking, he immediately bit off his own head, chewing it with a crunchy sound.
"You're just being reluctant to eat it; you bit off the head right after you finished speaking."
The Third Prince joked.
"Because it tastes good."
"Ha ha ha ha.."
Everyone present laughed.
Just then, a sudden sound rang out.
"Brother, look! There's a white cat eating candied hawthorns. It's so cute! I want it! I want it!"
A carriage was parked not far from them, and a small head popped out of the carriage window. It was a girl of about three or four years old, with pink and tender skin, very cute.
You can tell from her clothes that she's a young lady from a wealthy family.
However, his tone of voice was too arrogant, which made people dislike him.
Even her excellent appearance has lost some of its charm.
The girl's brother, who was sitting in the carriage, doted on her and patted her head, saying with a smile, "Good girl, Tongtong. I'll have someone bring the white cat over."
That certain tone is immediately off-putting.
Jing Le was very unhappy when she heard this, and she crunched the sugar figurine loudly.
[You spoil your sister, fine, but why should others foot the bill? And you're even trying to take advantage of Xiaobai? I'm afraid you can't withstand one screech from it.]
Believe it or not, if Little White gets angry, he'll swallow you all whole.
"Exactly, I can swallow three in one gulp."
The white tiger echoed in its mind. It had heard what the two people said. It now had a master, and anyone who wanted to take it away from its master was no good person.
The Third Prince and the others agreed with Jing Le's complaints, and secretly clicked their tongues when they looked at the brother and sister not far away.
There was so little meat, not even enough to fill a white tiger's teeth.
"Young master and young lady, you should leave quickly. They are the sons and daughters of the Minister of Revenue. You cannot afford to offend them. Leave now."
The old man selling candied hawthorns kindly reminded them that although they were both dressed in noble clothes, the people in front of them gave people a good impression, while the two people in the distance only seemed to be bullying others.
"Our young master wants this white cat."
