Fingers of crossing

The carriage was parked quietly beside the market street.

Jiang Ningzui lifted the curtain of the car to look at the pedestrians coming and going on the road, and then looked back at Yan Yilan who was calm and composed. After a moment of hesitation, she finally said: "I actually don't like going to the market."

Lifting her eyes to glance at Jiang Ningzui, Yan Yilan teased, "I can see that you are different from ordinary girls."

"The eldest princess still...?"

Before Jiang Ningzui could finish speaking, Yan Yilan had already pulled her out of the carriage, "Just treat it as if you were walking with me."

Jiang Ningzui didn't believe that Yan Yilan really liked shopping, but it was a rare opportunity for the two of them to wander aimlessly. Take her into the crowd.

Stepping on the cobblestone road of the street with both feet, the ground here is naturally not as smooth and elegant as the floor tiles in the palace, but Jiang Ningzui feels relaxed and at ease, which is something she can't experience in the oppressive palace.

Jiang Ningzui has been staying in the general's mansion for the past few days, and has never been out of the mansion, so now standing on the street, she looked around blankly, and really didn't know where to start shopping for a while.Pedestrians passing by them all cast vague glances, Jiang Ningzui turned her head and glanced at Yan Yilan beside her, thinking that she never seemed to want to restrain her edge, thinking about it, she unconsciously Stand far away from her.

"Walking along this street, I heard that there is a tavern at the end of the street, and the wine there is famous far and wide."

When Yan Yilan said this, there was some impatience in her eyes, Jiang Ningzui suddenly remembered the drunken state she had drunk with Chi Wei a long time ago, she couldn't help but feel a little conflicted in her heart, but she couldn't bear to dampen her interest, so she nodded and agreed down.

Jiang Ningzui followed Yan Yilan all the way to watch, and they didn't know whether it was a coincidence or on purpose, they unknowingly wandered into the mask stall again.Thinking of the Lantern Festival that day, Yan Yilan brought her here, saying that she, as a dignified concubine, could not show her face outside the palace like this, and even took a mask to cover her face, making fun of her for laughing. It doesn't look good.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ningzui stopped unconsciously, stood in front of the mask stand, took off a mask, held it in her hand and looked at it over and over again.

"What's the matter?" Yan Yilan stopped following Jiang Ningzui, noticed the gadget in her hand, raised her eyebrows and asked, "You like this?"

Thinking that Yan Yilan might have forgotten the scene that day, Jiang Ningzui lowered her head and smiled slightly, shook her head, and then nodded again.

There are not many pedestrians on the street during the day, and the business is unavoidably cold. Moreover, although Yan Yilan and Jiang Ningzui are dressed low-key today, their gestures are full of elegance and dignity. So he came forward very enthusiastically, and greeted: "These masks are all freshly painted, and can be drawn according to the style you want, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied."

Yan Yilan looked down at the mask in Jiang Ningzui's hand, and said with disgust: "The painting is very ordinary."

When the peddler heard this, he was naturally not very happy. He was about to say something, but Yan Yilan said again: "If you like it, then buy it."

The hawker immediately changed his smiling face, "One only costs 25 Wen."

Jiang Ningzui didn't have much idea about the coin of this era, so she didn't express her opinion, but turned her head to look at Yan Yilan, hoping that she could judge whether the price was reasonable, but Yan Yilan had a look of sudden realization, Tsk tut: "So it's so cheap..."

The hands holding the mask tightened slightly, Jiang Ning thought belatedly after being drunk, maybe Yan Yilan's concept of money is not necessarily much better than hers.Thinking like this, Jiang Ningzui looked at Yan Yilan suspiciously, and asked, "Do you have any money with you?"

This is really a good question, Yan Yilan whispered next to Jiang Ningzui's ear, and said with a smile: "No."

Jiang Ningzui heard that the mask in her hand was like a hot potato, she turned around quickly and wanted to put it back.

"Although I don't have one," Yan Yilan looked at Jiang Ningzui's series of behaviors with a smile, and pressed her hand unhurriedly, saying, "But Bi Yuan has it." Beckoning from the carriage far away, Bi Yuan who stayed outside the carriage immediately nodded in understanding and walked towards this side.

Only now did Jiang Ningzui realize that Yan Yilan was deliberately teasing, she looked up at the smiling face so close at hand, her teeth itch.

Following Yan Yilan's behavior that day, Jiang Ningzui raised her hand and put the mask on her face, saying, "Don't show this face next time." While Yan Yilan couldn't see, Jiang Ningzui looked As if punishing, he brushed the mask with his fingertips, but the strength was surprisingly gentle. "It's not pretty."

The peddler at the side was secretly startled when he heard Jiang Ningzui's words. He thought to himself, the two of them had a good appearance, especially the lady who asked the price just now, with an enchanting look in her eyes, However, there is a calm and unhurried aura about him, which makes people flock to him without daring to get close to profanity.Such a peerless beauty, no matter who doesn't want to take a second look, her companions still despise her as unattractive, which is really puzzling.

But he is just a mask seller, as long as someone visits and pays, what does the rest have to do with him?

After walking and stopping, the two finally arrived at the tavern Yan Yilan was talking about.

Because Biyuan didn't expect her master to have such a trip, so naturally she didn't bring much money with her, and the private room couldn't be used. Yan Yilan and Jiang Ningzui could only sit in the lobby like everyone else, waiting for Xiaoer While serving the wine, I thought of Bi Yuan's surprise when she heard them ask her for money.They all felt a little funny in their hearts.

While waiting for the wine to be served, Jiang Ningzui looked down at the mask Yan Yilan put aside, and stretched out her hand, "Come again."

"What?" Yan Yilan was slightly puzzled.

Jiang Ning said drunkenly, "Since it's a gift for me, do you still want to go back on your word?"

Only then did Yan Yilan realize that Jiang Ningzui was referring to the previous mask, she handed it to Jiang Ningzui, and said with a smile: "If you like it, I will ask Bi Yuan to find some painters to make a more delicate one for you someday. .”

"I think this is pretty good." Jiang Ningzui said, turning her head to look at Yan Yilan, with a smile on her brows, and a clear and indifferent ignorance in the dark eyes. "I like this one."

Jiang Ningzui had never noticed how many exquisite jewelry and jade pieces in the palace, but now she would like such a crudely made mask so much, Yan Yilan was both puzzled and funny, she couldn't guess where Jiang Ningzui was. Thinking about something, but seeing that her expression didn't seem to be fake, she didn't say anything more.

Xiao Er brought the wine, Jiang Ning tilted her head drunk, and saw that Yan Yilan didn't seem to want to do it herself, so she took the wine pot and poured it for each other, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip, the taste was spicy and hot throat, but after that there is a hint of sweetness permeating the tip of the tongue, with an endless aftertaste, which is not inferior to the fine wine in the palace.Jiang Ningzui admired slightly in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "How do you know this place?"

Yan Yilan's expression sank, and she smiled again: "This place is famous far and wide, so I've heard of it."

It's not just about hearing about it, Yan Yilan almost found her by familiar means, but since she didn't want to talk more, Jiang Ningzui naturally didn't want to ask more, so she stopped talking and concentrated on tasting wine.

"Pay the money, pay the money!"

Several people dressed as official servants came to the counter in a big way. The leading official knocked on the counter. He looked around and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, why didn't you see the proprietress today?"

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper quickly replied: "The lady boss has something to do at home today, so I didn't come." Then, he hurriedly took out a bag of silver from under the counter, and handed it to the head official with both hands, "This is what the lady boss ordered the younger one to give to you." money."

The official weighed the money in his hand happily, and said, "Didn't I tell your proprietress that the money should be raised this year?" Seeing the expression on the shopkeeper's face about to explain, he raised his hand to interrupt, smiling maliciously. "However, if your lady boss is willing to spend the night with me, the price is fine..." After he finished speaking, the officials following behind him burst into laughter, alarming all the guests in the tavern.

Yan Yilan and Jiang Ningzui's table was already close to the door, so they naturally watched their every move and refilled each other's wine. Jiang Ningzui glanced at the table next to him calmly. Yan Yilan saw that she was unmoved, still sipping her wine lightly with her head down.

The shopkeeper walked out of the counter, cupped his hands and said, "It happens that the proprietress is not here today, so I can't be the boss. I hope the official will give you two days to wait for our proprietress to come back."

"Shopkeeper, aren't you embarrassing me?" The leading official said, "Don't you know who I'm working for? Offending our lord, you and I can't afford it."

The shopkeeper obviously heard the meaning behind his words, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment, Nuonuo said anxiously: "This..."

Seeing that the shopkeeper's heart had already begun to waver, the leading official swayed to Yan Yilan's table and sat down. Turning around, then moved away to look at Jiang Ningzui who was opposite, he licked the corner of his mouth, and pretended to say: "The two young ladies looked at each other, I wonder which girl they are from?"

Jiang Ningzui heard the words, the corners of her mouth curved slightly into a smile, she covered it with a wine glass, but there was a trace of teasing in her eyes when she looked at Yan Yilan.

As the king of the Yan Kingdom, not only did he encounter the vile and evil behavior of the government in the capital at the foot of the emperor, but he was also openly molested by officials who did not know his life or death. Thinking about it this way, it is even more ironic than an assassin in the palace.

"Oh?" Yan Yilan smiled in her phoenix eyes, she was so charming that it was almost breathtaking, she approached the official, and said softly: "The official may wish to guess which family I am from. "

The author has something to say: As an evildoer, I want to give the eldest princess ten points.
