"Xiao Jing? It's really you. Why are you here?" Xia Chunyu asked in surprise. Looking at He Lianjing's gray homespun clothes, which were common people's clothes, and his originally fair skin turning into a tan, he suddenly said: "Did you sneak out of the house?"
The young prince of Prince Helian's Mansion is a rather troublesome master. He loves to join in the fun and get involved in everything. The year before last, Helianxuan went to southern Fujian to expel water bandits, so he slipped out of his house. Fortunately, he didn't leave the city. After being captured, He Lianxuan went to Shandong to suppress bandits this time. He probably wanted to go to Shandong again. Maybe he had already been to Shandong. Otherwise, how could he be in such a down and out state.
I don’t know how many crimes he suffered along the way, but Prince Helian’s palace must have been in a state of panic.
He Lianjing's eyes flickered as he estimated the possibility of escaping from Brother Chunyu's hands.
Xia Chunyu saw through Xiao Jiujiu's heart at a glance. As soon as he took his right foot out, Xia Chunyu blocked his way.
"Wherever you want to go, follow me back to Jinling."
He Lianjing said with a sad face: "No, Brother Chunyu, I came here with my friend, I can't leave him alone!"
Xia Chunyu's face darkened: "Which bastard did you abduct again?"
"I didn't kidnap anyone else. I was almost kidnapped. Thanks to Brother Jinyao for rescuing me and bringing me back all the way." He Lianjing muttered, fearing that Brother Chunyu would misunderstand Dayao Yao as a bad guy.
Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and thought silently...Brother Jinyao? Yao Yao? Is it a man
"Is this the friend you called just now?"
"Yes! He's over there, I'll call him." He Lianjing said and was about to run away.
Xia Chunyu grabbed his arm and said, "Let's go together."
He must not let Xiao Jing slip from under his nose.
He Lianjing had no choice but to act arrogantly in front of Brother Chunyu, and he couldn't escape, so he had to take Brother Chunyu to find Ye Jiayao.
"Huh? Where is the person? He was here just now." When he came to the noodle maker's stall, he didn't see Ye Jiayao and there was no one around. He Lianjing became nervous inexplicably and asked the noodle maker: "Just now Where’s the guy who came here to make dough?”
The noodle maker was still busy with his hands and said without raising his head: "That guy said that if someone came to see him, he would just say that he had a sudden stomachache and leave first."
Uh... what does this mean? It was fine before, but why does my stomach hurt? Could it be that the snacks were spoiled? But he was fine even after eating so much.
He Lianjing said worriedly: "Brother Chunyu, my friend doesn't seem to be feeling well. I have to go find him."
Xia Chunyu saw that he was not pretending to be anxious and asked, "Where do you live?"
He Lianjing knew that he couldn't escape when he met Brother Chunyu, and originally wanted to go back to play with Dayao Yao. Then he pointed to the pier honestly: "We came by boat, and the boat is parked at the pier."
Xia Chunyu thought for a while, signaled the guards behind him to come over, and ordered: "Follow Prince Jing, wait until he finds his friends, and take him directly to the boat. Remember, if you lose Prince Jing, you don't have to come back. "
The two guards promised loudly that from this moment on, their eyes would always be glued to Prince Jing.
Ye Jiayao waited until they all left before emerging from an alley not far away.
I really didn’t expect that Xiao Jingjing knew the stupid donkey and was very afraid of the stupid donkey’s appearance. This world is both big and small. Picking up a random person from the Daming Lake can be related to the stupid donkey. It’s rare in Yangzhou. It's amazing how you can meet donkeys when you go shopping.
Does this mean they are very close? Bah, bah, this is a bad fate, a big shit, I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
"Brother, the dough is ready. Do you still want it?" the dough maker asked.
Ye Jiayao took out two copper coins and gave them to him, then took the dough to chase Xiao Jingjing.
It seemed that Xiao Jingjing was going to leave with the stupid donkey. They had to say goodbye all the way together. Fortunately, the stupid donkey went in another direction, otherwise he wouldn't even have a chance to say goodbye.
He Lianjing returned to the boat and called Yaoyao loudly. He looked inside and outside, but there was no one there. Yaoyao didn't come back, and Li Mao and the others were not on the boat either.
He Lianjing was worried, where did Yaoyao go
"Boatman, boatman, have you seen my brother?" He Lianjing ran to ask the boatman.
The boatman pouted towards the shore: "Isn't that your brother?"
As soon as Ye Jiayao arrived at the pier, she deliberately covered her stomach and moved slowly. Helian Jing saw her and ran over to help her: "What's wrong with you? Why do you have a stomachache?"
Ye Jiayao waved her hands weakly: "Don't mention it, maybe the Thousand Layer Oil Cake is too sweet. I can't eat anything that is too sweet. It makes me feel sick when I eat it."
"How are you now? Do you want to hire a doctor?" He Lianjing asked with concern. Anyway, now that he has Brother Chunyu, he can ask Brother Chunyu for money.
"No, I'm much better now. I'll be fine after a while." Ye Jiayao felt warm in her heart when she saw that he was really anxious.
He Lianjing helped her into the cabin and sat down, then went to pour her water, while complaining: "Why didn't you tell her earlier if you knew you couldn't eat anything too sweet? You didn't have to eat it!"
Ye Jiayao curled her lips: "I didn't know it was so sweet. I've already bitten it, so I can't waste food!"
He Lianjing said angrily: "If not, it will all be wasted."
"Tell me, what did you gain from setting traps?" Ye Jiayao changed the subject.
He Lianjing thought of his trophy and went to get it happily. He said as if offering a treasure: "Look, the porcelain doll is filled with copper coins for you."
Ye Jiayao liked the porcelain doll very much when she saw it was fat and cute, but she said with disdain, "Only girls like this kind of doll."
Uh, disgusted.
Helian Jing was a little disappointed and said angrily: "No matter what, it's better than your broken jar. I specially brought it to you. Do you want it?"
Ye Jiayao grabbed it and held it in her arms: "I want it, but it cost me five copper coins, so of course I want it."
He Lianjing's head was full of black lines, and he muttered: "You have to have the ability to pull it off, you think it's easy!"
Ye Jiayao smiled, but her heart felt sour and unpleasant. Little Jingjing is leaving. This hateful, pitiful, cute little guy has caused her a lot of trouble and brought her a lot of joy along the way. When she was so frustrated, she was lucky to have him by her side.
"This is for you, but it's made in my shape." Ye Jiayao gave him her little face.
He Lianjing looked at the small-faced man and laughed loudly: "Da Yaoyao, what kind of weird gesture are you making? It's so funny."
As he spoke, He Lianjing imitated Ye Jiayao and made a scissor hand gesture in his ear. The slender phoenix eyes were curved, revealing neat white teeth and deep dimples. Her smile was so bright, and she might never see such a bright smile again.
Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes and snorted: "You're so stupid. If you can't learn it, don't learn it."
He Lianjing happily put away the mask and said to her: "Yao Yao, I just met my brother's friend in the country. He will take us back to Jinling."
we
Ye Jiayao was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "I can't go with you."
Helianjing was surprised: "Why?"
Ye Jiayao racked her brains to find excuses: "Because... because... because I promised Rich Man Li that I would cook for the caravan, and I can't keep my promise. If I leave, what will Li Mao and the others eat in the future? Things must start and end."
"What should we do?" He Lianjing became worried. Brother Chunyu would never allow him to stay. He didn't want to be separated from Dayao Yao.
Ye Jiayao said: "How about you and your brother's friends go first, and I will go with Li Mao and the others to find you when we get to Jinling!"
He Lianjing was unhappy for a long time. He raised his eyes to look at Ye Jiayao and said sadly: "You promise to come to me?"
"Of course, you still owe me money. You agreed to pay me back double in Jinling. You won't default on the debt, right?" Ye Jiayao teased.
He Lianjing frowned: "Am I that kind of person?"
However, if he revealed his true identity, would she still dare to come to him
"Prince Jing, it's getting late." Xia Chunyu's bodyguard urged outside.
Ye Jiayao was stunned, Little Prince Jing
She knew that he was from a rich family and wore blue clothes that cost more than a hundred taels of silver a piece, but she never dared to think that he was a young prince. Oh my God, what is wrong with this world? She can meet the prince in the bandits' den and pick up the young prince on the roadside. Is it because she is lucky, or is there too many princes in the world
Seeing her shocked expression, she was obviously frightened. He Lianjing explained uneasily: "That... that... I thought I would tell you when I got to Aurous Hill."
Ye Jiayao was still in shock.
Damn it, the young prince lived with her in Datongpu, slept in a dilapidated temple pavilion, stole watermelons with her, and returned manure tanks with her... Well, she was married to the prince, and shared hardships with the young prince. It was really exciting and interesting. Exciting life. It was just too much stimulation and she couldn't bear it.
"Prince Jing..." There was urging from outside again.
Helian Jing said fiercely: "What are you urging me to do? I'm urging you to die!"
There was no sound outside.
Helianjing held Ye Jiayao's arm and said seriously: "Yaoyao, let me tell you the truth, I am the young prince of Prince Helian's palace. You promised me that you will definitely come to me. When the time comes, you only need to repay My name is enough, I also promised you that I will take you to taste all the delicious food in Jinling. You are not allowed to break your promise, and we are not allowed to break our promise. You said that you must keep your word."
He Lianjing was inexplicably nervous. He saw the shrinkage and alienation in her eyes, which made him uncomfortable.
He had many friends in Jinling, but he knew that the reason why those people made friends with him, fawned over him, and flattered him was because of his identity. Dayao Yao knew nothing about anything and only regarded him as an ordinary rich kid. Although she often hurt him, she would give it to him first if she had something to eat. She would think of him first if she had something good. She would give him a bed to sleep on, a stool to sleep on, an umbrella to cover him, and herself to get wet in the rain. No one has ever been so kind to him. They met by chance but shared all the hardships together.
If possible, he hoped that he could go on with her all the time and live a happy and carefree life, instead of staying in the palace and being the boring little prince, surrounded by people wearing hypocritical masks.
At this thought, he was stunned. He thought he liked being with her just because she was a very interesting person, strong on the outside but soft on the inside, hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. It was not until they were about to separate that he discovered that the reason was not that simple.
