Ziyun left with her three children, Yanbao and Xie Zhiluo.
Yan Bao tilted his head curiously and asked, "Where are we going?"
Xie Zhiluo was happy as long as he could be with him: "I'll accompany you wherever you want to go."
"I heard that there is a new snack bar that has opened. The sweet-scented osmanthus rice dumplings sold by the owner are delicious. Let's go and try them." What do you mean by try them? It's obvious that he just wants to go and see the owner.
Xie Zhiluo nodded with a smile: "It's my treat."
"Great!" Yan Bao, who was a wealthy woman, seemed to have picked up a great bargain. A bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus rice dumplings cost only five cents, but she was very happy all the way.
I originally thought it would be difficult to find, but who knew there would be so many people coming here because of its reputation.
There are still quite a few people queuing up, and there are basically no seats left.
There were also people from other shops who came to solicit customers, saying that if they drank tea in their shop, they could eat osmanthus Yuanxiao in advance.
Yan Bao didn't go, she liked the feeling of queuing, so she pulled Xie Zhiluo to stand at the back of the line and moved to the front little by little.
Xie Zhiluo didn't think it was a waste of time. The two of them folded their sleeves together, held hands, and stood there, looking at each other, occasionally lowering their heads to talk, and smiling at each other. The atmosphere was just right.
By the time it was their turn, it was already half an hour later.
The proprietress is a beautiful and lively young wife. Her every frown and smile reveals a bit of joy. All the people who come to buy osmanthus rice dumplings are men. They eat the rice dumplings and look at the beautiful proprietress with a bit of vulgar smile.
There were also people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but were hit on the back of their hands by the fierce woman and were so scared that they dared not act presumptuously.
When it was Yan Bao's turn, the fierce young lady had already recognized Yan Bao. She was stunned for a moment, then pretended not to recognize him and asked with a smile: "What flavor do you want? We have sweet osmanthus Yuanxiao, red bean Yuanxiao, and red date flavor."
Yan Bao smiled and said, "One bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus Yuanxiao, and one bowl of red bean."
There are two flavors, and she can eat a little of each.
Xie Zhiluo listened to Yan Bao.
The beautiful and lively young lady scooped up some Yuanxiao for them and said attentively, "There are still seats inside. Would you two nobles like to sit inside?"
Yan Bao smiled and declined, glancing at the warm and welcoming Miss Yuan Xiao. As he left, he whispered in her ear, "Closing the stall tonight, take another route home. Trust me, and you'll save your life."
The young lady was stunned for a moment.
Yan Bao blinked, picked up the Yuanxiao and took a sip, as if the person who had just spoken was not her.
[Alas, if I didn't feel sorry for such a beautiful young lady, I wouldn't want to meddle in her affairs!]
Even if you have a pretty face, if you don't have the ability to protect yourself, it's best not to show up in public easily. Just like this beautiful young woman, on her way home from closing her stall tonight, she'll be kidnapped by a bully and handed over to a wealthy man who likes her.
[The young lady had a strong temper. After being bullied, she jumped into the river out of shame. It's so heartbreaking to see such a beautiful young lady die like this!]
Xie Zhiluo frowned as he listened to Yan Bao's thoughts. After Yan Bao left, he called a guard over and whispered something in his ear. The guard understood and glanced at the young lady selling Yuanxiao.
Xie Zhiluo put down ten cents, holding the red bean dumplings and followed Yan Bao's footsteps, as if it was not his arrangement to have someone beat up the ambushers on the road that the young lady had to pass.
Yan Bao was not particular at all. She ate while walking. There were six Yuanxiao in total. She ate three and gave the rest to Xie Zhiluo, who ate the ones she hadn't touched.
Xie Zhiluo ate up all the leftovers she had.
Yan Bao asked: "What flavor do you like?"
“The sweet-scented osmanthus Yuanxiao tastes good.”
"I think it's good too. I'll have someone buy some for my parents to try." Yan Bao didn't forget that there was an old man in the palace who needed their care. "Do you want to bring some for the emperor?"
Xie Zhiluo thought of the emperor who became more childish as he grew older and nodded.
While they continued shopping, the guards went to queue up to buy Yuanxiao.
Yan Bao and Xie Zhiluo were walking aimlessly in the crowd, hand in hand. When she learned that Tiantian was missing, she was not surprised at all. She pulled the anxiously crying brothers Shen Sijing and wiped their tears: "Don't worry, Tiantian won't be lost!"
"Aunt, go and save her!" Shen Sijing was afraid that something might happen to his sister.
Yan Bao comforted: "Okay, wait for me to rescue people tomorrow."
Shen Sijing was stunned: “Tomorrow?”
Shen Sixing even forgot to cry: "Will I be able to find my sister tomorrow?"
Yan Bao assured: "Don't worry, it's just one night, nothing will happen."
"They're in the city tonight and won't be sent out until tomorrow. They won't be abused anyway. They'll just be locked up for one night, nothing's going to happen, don't worry!"
[Tiantian is a bit courageous, just like me when I was a kid. Unfortunately, she doesn't have my strength. I'll let her suffer a little today!] Yan Bao understood the situation and felt fearless.
When they got home, Shen Shoufu and the others knew that Tiantian was missing. They were so anxious that they imposed martial law throughout the place to search for the missing Tiantian.
Yan Bao stopped them: "Tiantian is fine, I promise, let her stay outside tonight."
Mrs. Shen was worried: “Are you really okay?”
Yan Bao nodded.
Xu Zhimo couldn't understand: "Yan Bao, do you know something? She is just a child. Even if you want to teach her a lesson, you can't make such a joke."
Yan Bao looked at Xu Zhimo who was worried about Tiantian, and then looked at Brother Shen who couldn't bear it, and knew that he was too stubborn. He didn't know how to feel sorry for the child because it wasn't his own.
"Alright, Tiantian has been missing for an hour now, so I think she's realized her mistake. Let's stop here and teach her a lesson. She won't run away from her family again!" Yan Bao mentioned a place.
Brother Shen immediately took people to rescue them.
