"One veil, no, I need another one, just in case something unexpected happens, we'll need to prepare another one."
"There's still some money left; prepare some tea."
...
Xianglian and Lin Wanyu chattered on and on, talking about quite a lot of things.
Looking at the large package that had been packed out, Qingyin helplessly tapped the space between their eyebrows.
"Should we go out to have fun, or should we stay somewhere else?"
"Bring so much stuff? You can just buy the tea and snacks outside, no need to bring them."
Lin Wanyu blushed and said, "Isn't it because I'm worried that you won't like the things sold outside? What if... what if the things sold outside aren't clean?"
Xiang Lian nodded silently.
Yes, that's why it's always more reassuring to bring your own.
Qingyin poked their foreheads in annoyance and said helplessly, "Fine, take them if you want."
...
A short while later, Qingyin, who was dressed and wearing a veil, boarded the carriage with Lin Wanyu.
The carriage slowly entered the bustling market, and the lively sounds of vendors selling their wares and children playing could be heard from inside the carriage.
The carriage stopped in a relatively spacious area, and the group got off.
As soon as they stepped off the carriage, the unique aroma of food from the street food stalls wafted gently into their nostrils, whetting their appetites. Qingyin found it somewhat amusing to see the two girls who had previously looked down on the food from the roadside stalls now having their eyes drawn to the fragrant food on both sides of the road.
They used to say it was dirty, but now they can't take their eyes off it. It's really something...
Qingyin smiled, walked to Lin Wanyu's side, glanced at the old man selling malt candy in front of her, and said, "You like it?"
Lin Wanyu's face twisted for a second as she recalled her earlier words. After struggling between saving face and her desire to speak her mind, Lin Wanyu ultimately chose to save face.
"Well, I don't like it that much either. Let's go, sister," Lin Wanyu said painfully.
Her face was full of conflict. If she had known, she wouldn't have said that to her sister at home.
Lin Wanyu smiled on the outside but was heartbroken inside, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing Lin Wanyu's stubborn look, Qingyin chuckled. Looking at the expectation in Xianglian and Lin Wanyu's eyes, Qingyin smiled gently at the old man selling malt candy in front of her and said, "Grandpa, please make us two malt candies. Let them tell you the design themselves."
Seeing this, Lin Wanyu knew perfectly well that her sister wanted to buy her something. She chuckled and forgot that the malt candy wasn't just for her.
The maltose candy is ready, but what pattern should it have? Lin Wanyu looked at the several lifelike rabbits, monkeys, peonies, and other patterns laid out in front of the old man and fell into a dilemma of choice.
"Alright! Ladies, I'll get it done for you right away," the old man, dressed in patched clothes, replied with a kind smile.
They didn't complain at all about the time it took for customers to buy things.
Lin Wanyu hesitated for a long time, but finally chose the rabbit-shaped malt candy that had attracted her at first glance.
She can buy the rest later.
Lin Wanyu chose the rabbit pattern, while Xiang Lian chose her favorite puppy pattern.
The two happily sipped their candies, strolling leisurely behind Qingyin.
The two young girls, accompanied by several servants who were clearly bodyguards, immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Especially the girl walking at the front, who was still wearing a veil and only had her clear and beautiful eyes exposed, unconsciously attracted many people's amazed gazes.
"That young lady has such beautiful eyes!" The handsome man sitting on the second floor of the teahouse said, looking down at the girl below with amazement.
"Young Master Wu Yong, you wouldn't be thinking about women, would you? What kind of woman would you praise like that?" A handsome man leaned forward, picked up his wine glass, and teased him, swirling it playfully.
"Liu Zidu, I'm serious! That young lady's eyes are really beautiful."
"Oh." Liu Zidu nodded nonchalantly.
His elder sister is the Empress in the palace, and his brother-in-law is His Majesty the Emperor, who holds the highest position in the world. What kind of beauty hasn't Liu Zidu seen?
"Yes, yes, what's so great about women? What kind of beauties hasn't our young master Liu seen? Young Master Wu is exaggerating." Others flattered Liu Zidu, speaking in a fawning manner.
Wu Yong frowned subconsciously. That young lady's eyes were really beautiful. Based on his years of experience as a playboy, the young lady's figure and the glimpse of her fair skin proved that she must be a rare beauty.
Someone noticed Wu Yong's expression and patted the man who had been licking Liu Zidu earlier. Liu Zidu was of noble status, but that didn't mean Wu Yong was easy to mess with. Everyone knew that the Wu family had been generals for generations. Even though the young master Wu Yong was a playboy and not good at martial arts, no one dared to provoke this young master of the general's mansion.
He smiled and tried to smooth things over:
"Well, we finally managed to get out today, let's have a good drink and wish our young master Wu and young master Liu all the best in the autumn examinations!"
Liu Zidu looked at the wine glass in his hand, ignoring how his usual lackeys fawned over him. He pursed his thin lips and laughed, "Alright, what's there to say? It's not as interesting as the fact that Lin Nanxu isn't actually a biological son of the Lin family!"
Wu Yong was distracted by Liu Zidu's words and missed Qingyin's figure for a moment. In the blink of an eye, the girl's figure had disappeared completely. He frowned slightly and turned his head back with a hint of regret.
This also led to conversations among friends.
Amidst the crowd, a handsome man briefly raised his head.
A young lady with very beautiful eyes? Chen Anping subconsciously recalled Lin Qingqing, who had amazed him that day. Ever since he met Miss Lin that day, he had fallen in love at first sight. After Miss Lin and Young Master Lin left, Lin's father implied in a few words that he was not good enough for Miss Lin. Chen Anping knew in his heart that what Lin's father said was true, but how could he accept it in his heart when he said it on his lips?
