Girls have endless interest in shopping. Even if they don’t buy anything, they can still enjoy shopping happily, walking from one street to another without feeling tired at all.
"Tanghulu..."
On the side of the street there was a peddler carrying a rack made of straw sticks, on which were stuck strings of candied haws with bamboo sticks. The candied haws were wrapped with crystal clear syrup, brightly colored syrup, and red hawthorns, and were particularly tempting.
A group of children surrounded the vendor, taking turns to lick the candied haws and their fingers. They didn't care that their faces were covered with sugar, and they ate happily with a crunching sound, looking extremely satisfied.
Gulp...
The naughty kid couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw this, and his little eyes on his fat face stared straight at the candied haws, unable to take his eyes away.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are the candied haws made of chicken legs?" The little girl licked her lips with her tongue, then raised her cute little face and looked at Zhu Ping'an and asked sweetly.
"No." Zhu Pingan shook his head.
"Oh, then the candied haws must be made of pork?" The little girl nodded, and then asked another question in a cute way.
"No." Zhu Ping'an shook his head again.
"I haven't eaten candied haws for a long time. Niuniu even forgot what it is made of..." Little Loli Niuniu patted her belly and pouted.
Haha, this girl is really comparable to Li Shu when she was a child. Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, then picked up the little girl with one hand, lowered his head and said to the drooling child, "Let's go and try their candied haws."
After taking a step, Zhu Pingan thought for a moment and turned back to look at Li Shu and the maid Baozi and asked, "Do you want to try it too?"
In fact, Zhu Ping'an regretted it as soon as he asked. Judging from Li Shu's habits as a spoiled child, this girl would definitely think that the vendors outside are dirty.
Upon hearing this, the little maid Baozi nodded vigorously. It seemed that the girl had been staring at the candied haws for a long time.
"No, it doesn't look clean..."
As expected, Li Shu looked at the wrinkled and greasy clothes of the candied haws vendor and rolled her eyes in disdain.
"However, seeing that you are so sincere, I will give you a chance. Well, give me the one with the orange."
When Zhu Ping'an was about to turn around to buy candied haws, he heard Li Shu's arrogant and gracious voice again.
What an unlovable girl, Zhu Ping'an complained in his heart.
Everyone bought a candied haws and ate them while walking around. The naughty child was the most devoted in eating, and his face was covered with a lot of candied haws.
Seeing everyone eating it, she felt very sweet. Li Shu hesitated for a moment while holding the candied haws in her hand, looked at the back of the boy leading the little girl in front of her, and finally gritted her teeth, holding the candied haws in her slender jade hand, slowly put it to her cherry lips and licked it. Hmm, it seemed that the taste was not as bad as she thought.
I took a small bite and it was sour and sweet with a lingering fragrance. It seemed to taste pretty good.
Ahem...
When Zhu Pingan thought of something and turned around, he saw Li Shu eating candied haws with her cheeks puffed up. It was like a marmot eating, which was a little cute. Then the two looked at each other, and Li Shu's pretty face turned red. She wanted to swallow the candied haws in her mouth quickly, but she choked a little... ...
Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and couldn't help laughing.
What are you laughing at...
Li Shu's pretty face was a little hot. She looked at Zhu Ping'an's back and glared at him. What a broken candied haws. It made me look bad! Li Shu wanted to throw the candied haws in her hand away. But when she thought that it was given by a toad, she was reluctant to throw it away. She took a clean pink handkerchief to wrap the candied haws and asked the maid Baozi to put it together with the hairpin.
Going shopping in the Ming Dynasty. Men and women were not as casual as they are today. Even couples had to keep a certain distance, otherwise they would be accused of violating morals. However, there are always exceptions.
Zhu Ping'an saw with his own eyes a short, fat, and ugly man dressed as a gentry, hugging a tall, pretty woman, coming out of a jewelry store and getting on a sedan chair.
Beauty and the Beast is always so eye-catching...
"The good cabbages are eaten by pigs."
At this moment, Zhu Ping'an seemed to have returned to the modern era. When he was walking on the street with a group of single men and his roommates, he saw a loser with a big gold chain pulling a beautiful woman into a small hotel. He said something out of habit.
The good cabbages are eaten by pigs? What does it mean
The little maid Baozi looked up at Zhu Ping'an with some confusion and asked. She didn't quite understand what Zhu Ping'an meant by cabbage, pig and so on.
Zhu Ping'an explained casually, of course using a euphemism.
After hearing this, the little maid Baozi suddenly realized what was going on. She looked at the sedan chair going away and couldn't help but giggle, covering her mouth.
"Some stupid pigs won't even eat cabbage..." At this moment, Li Shu next to him pouted and said something meaningful.
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, then turned around and looked at Li Shu, as if he saw a mouse serving as a bridesmaid for a cat.
"Ahem... what are you looking at me for... ... don't overthink it." Li Shu's pretty face turned red, and then she said hastily, "Don't be a toad wanting to eat swan meat. I heard that you threw twenty taels to a girl in front of the Heniantang medicine shop, and the girl wanted to marry you, but you didn't want to..."
oh
It turns out that this is what she was talking about. I was shocked. I thought this girl was a sinister person... ... It turns out that she was talking about the incident in front of Henian Hall.
"I'm not a mean person who takes advantage of others..."
After listening to Li Shu's explanation, Zhu Ping'an's expression slowly returned to normal. He shrugged and replied lightly.
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an believed her explanation, Li Shu's heart finally stopped running like a crazy deer. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then rolled her eyes at Zhu Ping'an's back. "What a blockhead! Stupid blockhead! You won't even eat cabbage if I feed you! You won't even eat the juicy cabbage! I'll just starve you to death!"
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
The little maidservant Baozi looked at her mistress who kept rolling her eyes at Zhu Ping'an's back and asked curiously.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, there is a piece of sand without eyes (idiot) got into my eyes..." Li Shu replied somewhat unnaturally, and stretched out her slender hands to rub her eyes, and rolled her eyes at Zhu Ping'an's back.
"Oh, then let me blow it for you, miss." When the little maid Baozi heard that there was sand in Li Shu's eyes, she was very worried, as if there was sand in her eyes. Baozi's face was full of worry.
"No need, it's okay, cough cough, it's done." Li Shu couldn't stand the little maid's enthusiasm, so she shook her hands and coughed.
Hearing this, the worry on the maid's face slowly disappeared. She still looked at her young lady a few more times out of worry. Only when she saw that her young lady's eyes were watery and she was indeed fine did she feel completely relieved. (To be continued.)
