Chapter 44 Buying Sachets Su Er is mine!
A bowl of hot wontons was served. Su Mian tasted it with a spoon first, and then pushed it in front of Cheng Changgeng.
No matter what, as the eunuch chief, he had to protect the emperor to prevent anyone from poisoning him.
Just as he was about to put down the spoon after taking a bite, Cheng Changgeng took over the spoon and bowl.
"I haven't eaten these things for a long time. Let me try them."
His movements were done in one go, and even when Su Mian raised her hand to stop him, it was too late. She could only watch Cheng Changgeng put the spoon she was using into his mouth.
[Forget it. If the dog emperor doesn’t mind, then I don’t care either. It’s not me who’s at a disadvantage anyway. ]
Cheng Changgeng said nothing, but just kept his head down to suppress the smile on his lips. He did it on purpose.
Creating a little flirtation from time to time can help improve the relationship between two people.
As time went by, more and more people came onto the street. After Su Mian finished a bowl of wontons, she didn't feel full at all. Instead, her appetite was stimulated and she couldn't wait to try some local snacks.
Cheng Changgeng saw what he was thinking, glanced at the servant following behind him, and said to Su Mian, "Let's go and have a look somewhere else."
"good!"
Su Mian was waiting, and after hearing this, he stood up and took Cheng Changgeng away.
The owner of the wonton shop raised his hand and was about to yell at them to pay when he was stopped by the waiter, who gave him more money for two bowls of wontons. The owner smiled from ear to ear and just kept saying that they were welcome to come again next time.
Continuing to walk inside, Su Mian bought a lot of food along the way. Not only the two servants, but even Cheng Changgeng's arms were stuffed with a lot of food.
But Cheng Changgeng said nothing and just kept paying.
"Tanghulu!"
Su Mian rushed forward happily, picked out the most beautiful string of candied haws, took it in his hand and immediately handed it to Cheng Changgeng's mouth.
"I like eating candied haws the most. I'll give you the first bite."
There is no need to explain its value, those who understand will understand.
They didn't care whether poison was used or not. With the probability of this random draw, neither of them believed that they would be so unlucky.
Sure enough, the candied haws tasted sour and sweet. Cheng Changgeng didn’t fall down after eating it. Instead, his heart almost melted with sweetness.
Two people walked side by side on the road, taking turns to take a bite, and soon finished a string of candied haws.
"I'm going to throw the sticks, wait for me."
Seeing that the trash can was not far away, the place where Cheng Changgeng stopped happened to be a stall selling sachets, so he nodded and let him go.
There was still a hint of sugar in the corners of his mouth, and he smacked his lips as he carefully selected the sachets on the stall.
"Would you like to buy a sachet? My sachets are all handmade, whether it's the embroidery or the making of the sachet, they are all handmade."
The boss was a shrewd man who was used to doing business. In addition, Cheng Changgeng and Su Mian were both good-looking, so it was hard not to notice them. So he said, "Sir, look at these two sachets. There are mandarin ducks playing in the water embroidered on them, and irises embroidered on the mouth of the sachets. They are symbols of love and imply eternal love..."
“I want these two.”
Cheng Changgeng interrupted him and directly bought two sachets, planning to find an opportunity to give them to Su Mian.
But when he put the sachet into his pocket and looked up, he found that Su Mian, who was in his sight just now, was gone.
"Su Mian?"
"Su Mian!"
For a moment, he was a little anxious, wondering where Su Mian had gone.
He looked around, forced himself to calm down and tried to listen to Su Mian's thoughts, but there was so much noise all around that he couldn't hear any sound at all.
"Did you see where Su Mian went just now?"
Cheng Changgeng turned around and asked the two servants, but they shook their heads. Their mission was to protect the emperor, so their minds were naturally on Cheng Changgeng and they didn't notice where Su Mian had gone.
An inexplicable irritation surged in his heart, Cheng Changgeng clenched his fists, and some bad thoughts began to emerge in his head.
Could it be that Su Mian did all this just to find an opportunity to leave me?
Just when his eyes were reddening, he felt everything around him was still, and his head was buzzing, he saw a young man with a bright smile standing in the crowd, waving at him and saying something.
"Cheng Changgeng!"
Gradually coming back to his senses, Cheng Changgeng heard him calling his name, and ran forward in two steps, restraining his desire, grabbing Su Mian's arm and nervously asked him: "Where have you been?"
"I just saw someone selling candy figures here, so I asked him to draw the two of us. Do they look alike?"
Only then did Cheng Changgeng realize that Su Mian was holding a sugar painting in his hand. There were two young boys on the painting. The painting was so poorly done that it was hard to tell who they were.
"picture."
He obviously didn't want to.
"Why were you in a daze just now? I called you for a long time."
"I was thinking about something and was absent-minded for a moment."
He made an excuse casually and was about to move forward with Su Mian when he felt someone bumped into him.
"Oh my sugar man!"
He was fine, but Su Mian beside him was furious and grabbed the man who bumped into him: "You broke my candy man, pay me!"
This sugar man was so lifelike, but before I had time to appreciate it, it was broken, and it was his head that was knocked off!
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."
The man's face couldn't be seen clearly because he was wearing a hat. His voice was crisp and he looked like a man of the world. He had a sword on his waist. The moment Su Mian saw the sword, she immediately let go of the man's arm.
What I was thinking was:
[It would be a huge loss if you lose your life because of a sugar painting! ]
But the man was obviously not as vulgar as he imagined. Instead, his eyes lit up after seeing Su Mian's face. He took out a silver ingot from his pocket and stuffed it into Su Mian's hand:
"You and I are destined to be together. The extra money can be regarded as my invitation to tea."
"Thank you. I won't be polite to you then."
After putting the silver into his pocket, Su Mian did not buy a new candy figure. Instead, he took Cheng Changgeng's arm and walked past the man.
The sugar man can be bought again at any time. He has made a profit this time. Why keep it and not leave?
But he didn't notice at all that when they passed each other, Cheng Changgeng and the man looked at each other through their hats and veils, their eyes full of vigilance.
This man made Cheng Changgeng feel uncomfortable for some reason, but he didn't think much about it.
It was not until the evening when Cheng Changgeng went to buy lanterns for Su Mian that he came back and saw the man standing with Su Mian again.
He finally knew what this discomfort was.
It's the incompatibility of the magnetic fields between the rivals.
"Hey, it's you, young master. What a coincidence."
"Ah? Oh, it's you."
Su Mian was waiting for Cheng Changgeng obediently in a corridor where there were few people. Suddenly, someone greeted him. He looked up and found that it was the man who had just broken his candy man.
[Could it be that he is here to ask me for money? ]
"It is fate that we meet again. My name is Qingzhou. May I know your name?"
"Uh...Su Er."
Su Mian was cautious and deliberately said the wrong name. He was confused about the purpose of Qingzhou's visit and felt a little awkward communicating with a stranger.
"Su Er."
Qingzhou recited it silently and naturally guessed that this was the name he said casually. He did not ask any further questions and took out a jade pendant from his arms.
This jade looks like it's worth a lot of money!
"I get along well with you, young master. I am giving you this jade. If you need anything in the future, you can bring this jade to Manchun Pavilion at the end of this street to find me."
"Manchun Pavilion?"
Su Mian repeated it, but before he could reach out his hand, the jade in front of him was pushed away, and then he fell into a familiar embrace.
"Sir, you are overstepping your authority. Su Er is my man. Please do as you please."
