The guard said that Xie Zhi and Xie Ning had already put their luggage away at the inn, had dinner, and were heading towards the street...
The guards led the way, while Yuan Yao nestled obediently in the arms of the Ninth Prince.
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Father, how do you know that the rich girl and the scholar have a story?"
"Just a guess," the Ninth Prince said with a smile.
Guess?
She even guessed that the young lady had taken a liking to him!
Yuan Yao muttered, "That young lady was indeed staring intently at our area..."
"Do you remember when I said I looked down on her?" asked the Ninth Prince.
“Mm!” Yuan Yao nodded.
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "If it were an ordinary man who came to choose a wife, he would be overjoyed to hear that I don't think much of Miss Yang."
But they became furious as soon as I finished speaking.
"I understand!" Yuan Yao exclaimed in realization, "They're angry on behalf of that scholar!"
The scholar appeared to be very timid; he wouldn't dare talk back to his father after saying such things, so his friend was angry on his behalf!
It seems that those young men also really hope that the scholar and the rich girl will be together!
Tonight, I witnessed someone else's love story.
but……
Yuan Yao whispered, "Yao'er thinks that scholar is too cowardly."
That wealthy young lady must have endured immense pressure to persuade her family to allow her to choose a husband by throwing a silk ball.
But even at the very last step, the scholar was still hesitating…
If he doesn't accept the embroidered ball tonight, that young lady will be heartbroken.
I fear that I will spend the rest of my life in pain and unhappiness...
Just then, the Ninth Prince spoke up: "Little Yao'er doesn't like weak scholars?"
A frail scholar?
Yuan Yao glared: "I don't like it!"
Most frail scholars are unable to carry heavy loads or lift heavy objects.
How weak is he?
She was a tall, strong boy, like the rising sun!
The Ninth Prince chuckled softly, raised his hand, and ruffled her hair: "I don't like it either."
Yuan Yao seized the opportunity to grab his wrist: "A man like Father is perfect! He's skilled in both literature and martial arts, and handsome too..."
"Father, look, another pretty girl is staring at you!"
Her voice was soft, sweet, and very loud.
The girls around, hearing the noise, blushed, laughed, and hurriedly ran away...
From afar, Yuan Yao heard a gentle laugh: "Little Yao'er!"
“Uncle!” Yuan Yao raised her hand and waved to him.
She was overjoyed to see Xie Ning.
Xie Ning's full head of white hair was half tied up with a hairpin, the other half flowing smoothly over her shoulders and back. Her whole person had a bright and radiant smile. But Xie Zhi's smile was even brighter.
Xie Zhi grinned from ear to ear: "Little Yao'er, are you surprised? Are you not?
surprise!
Accident!
Look at Xie Zhi's smiling face, it's obvious nothing serious happened!
Yuan Yao said irritably, "Didn't you and Lin Xuan go back to the capital? Why did you come back again?"
"Young Master Xie, you escorted me here, didn't you?" Xie Ning put one hand on Xie Zhi's shoulder, smiling warmly.
Then he addressed the Ninth Prince, saying, "Brother."
The Ninth Prince had no expression on his face.
Seeing this, Xie Ning smiled even more brightly: "Brother, I have something I'd like to talk to you about alone."
The Ninth Prince said coldly, "What is it that cannot be said here?"
Xie Ning raised her hand, smoothed her hair, and smiled, "Copper City is safe, so why don't you let Xiao Yao'er go and play by herself?"
It seems I really have to talk to him alone?
The Ninth Prince glanced at Yuan Yao in his arms: "Don't go too far, I'll be back soon."
"Um!"
Seeing that Xie Ning was in trouble, Yuan Yao obediently got down from the Ninth Prince's arms.
The Ninth Prince patted her little head and looked at Xie Zhi: "I'll leave my little dumpling to you for now. Don't take her too far."
Xie Zhi laughed heartily: "Your Majesty, rest assured!"
The Ninth Prince glanced disdainfully at Xie Ning, then turned and left.
Xie Ning followed behind him, and the two disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
The old man left, but the guards and painters remained.
At that moment, Canfeng, who was wearing a mask, moved closer to this side of the crowd.
Xie Zhi glanced at the group of people and waved his hand, saying, "Stay away, don't disturb this young master's enjoyment."
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Let's go!"
After speaking, she walked into the crowd with her two little buns on her head and her short legs.
The flowing red dress, paired with an equally flowing red headband, is absolutely adorable!
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "Little Yao'er, wait for me!"
After speaking, he lifted his foot and strode after him.
Yuan Yao picked up a pair of bamboo dragonflies from a street stall, and Dan Qing led the others to pay for them.
Holding a bamboo dragonfly, Yuan Yao handed one to Xie Zhi: "Here, Xie Zhi, this is for you."
Xie Zhi was both amused and exasperated: "I haven't played with this thing in years."
He had loved playing with swords and knives since he was a child, and these delicate little gadgets were simply too much for him to handle, and besides, he wasn't interested in them.
“I told you to take it, so take it!” Yuan Yao glared.
Actually, she thought the bamboo dragonfly was very pretty, and felt a little embarrassed to buy it just for herself, so she bought an extra one so that Xie Zhi could play with it with her.
Helpless, Xie Zhi had no choice but to accept the bamboo dragonfly: "Tell me what you want, and I'll buy it for you."
Is it Brother Zhi again?
Yuan Yao got goosebumps.
She held the bamboo dragonfly and said disdainfully, "I'd be grateful if you just stopped calling yourself Brother Zhi!"
That's so cheesy!
Xie Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed brightly, "What's wrong with you, little girl? Others want to call me that, but I won't let them!"
And you actually dare to look down on me?
"Let them shout if they want!" Yuan Yao's gaze was drawn to a stall not far away, and as she spoke, she walked over there.
The stall owner said kindly, "Little girl, would you like to buy a lantern?"
Before Yuan Yao could answer, Xie Zhi had already walked over.
He pointed to the hanging lanterns: "I've never seen these mushroom lanterns anywhere else before?"
The lid is round, with chubby legs underneath, and patterns are drawn on the lid.
Look at her, she's so cute.
The stall owner chuckled, "Young master, you may not know this, but these mushroom lanterns were made by my wife. You really can't find them anywhere else."
Xie Zhi laughed and said, "In that case, I'll take two!"
He picked through the lanterns, choosing one that was long and thin, and then another that was short and stout.
He then handed the shorter one to Yuan Yao, teasing her, "Little Yao, look, doesn't this red mushroom lantern look like you?"
Yuan Yao rolled her eyes inside her stomach.
childish.
At this moment, Xie Zhi picked up the slender mushroom-shaped lantern with satisfaction: "This young master thinks it looks like me..."
Yuan Yao chimed in, "Yes, just like you, as dark-skinned as you."
black?
Xie Zhi scratched his head: "Am I dark-skinned?"
“Black!” Yuan Yao replied confidently.
Black-hearted!
She said angrily, "You gave me a box of foxtail grass and lied to me, saying it was flower seeds. You really fooled me!"
So that's what she was angry about?
Xie Zhi smiled, revealing his uneven white teeth: "I admit, it was wrong of me to lie to you."
How about this, I'll make it up to you?
compensate?
"How will you compensate me?" Yuan Yao asked, puffing out her cheeks.
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "Come with me first, and you'll find out soon enough."
