Chapter 58 Preparing for Opening

"Madam, why don't you buy some candied haws for the child."

The hawker selling candied haws noticed Gu Xiyue, and hurriedly stepped forward to the carriage.

His candied haws look shiny, and each hawthorn is round and red, making people want to salivate when they look at it.

Seeing Gu Xiyue looking at her candied haws, the peddler smiled and boasted.

"Every bunch of my candied haws is delicious. There is no child in the entire capital who doesn't like it. It's very sweet and sour after one bite."

As soon as he finished speaking here, there were children buying candied haws with copper coins.

"Boss, bring me a bunch of candied haws."

The child looked about the same age as Xiao Bao, and was so cute, his eyes never moved away from the candied haws.

These candied haws are really craving.

The peddler took the copper coins, then selected a bunch and handed them to him.

The child took the candied haws and smiled contentedly. He bit down and narrowed his eyes.

I saw him eating while shaking his head, "It's delicious, thank you boss."

That tiger-headed and tiger-headed appearance made Gu Xiyue think of Xiaobao even more.

On weekdays, when he got to eat, he shook his head like this.

Xiaobao also likes candied haws very much.

"Princess, do you need a servant to buy it?"

Seeing Gu Xiyue staring at the candied haws, the driver thought she wanted to buy them.

Gu Xiyue raised her eyebrows, did she act so obviously?
She shook her head and said, "No, I'll get out of the car and buy it myself."

Just like that, the coachman parked the carriage on the side of the road, and Gu Xiyue stepped out of the carriage with her skirt up.

The hawker selling candied haws came forward, his whole face wrinkled with a smile.

He turned the candied haws in his hand and asked, "Madam, do you want to buy candied haws?"

Gu Xiyue nodded, and then carefully selected, and she finally chose the best two strings.

At this time, the boss selling shadow puppetry began to sell, and Gu Xiyue was immediately attracted to look at it.

Shadow puppets?

This is folk art. In modern times, I only watched it on TV, but I haven't seen it in real life.

Gu Xiyue stepped forward curiously, and saw that these shadow puppets were very exquisitely made, and the patterns on them had an indescribable classical beauty.

For a moment, Gu Xiyue was stunned.

"If Madam likes it, why don't you buy two and put them back home, they are all fine handicrafts."

The shadow puppet boss recommends it.

Gu Xiyue was attracted by a shadow puppet dressed up by a child, because there was a woman's shadow puppet next to this shadow puppet, which seemed to be a mother and child.

Seeing Gu Xiyue staring at the two shadow puppets, the owner of the shadow puppets hurriedly said, "These two shadow puppets are a pair of mother and child."

"Yes, boss, I want these two shadow puppets, how much money?"

After paying the money and asking the boss to wrap up the shadow puppet, Gu Xiyue walked towards the next booth.

There is one stall on the whole street that is particularly eye-catching, and there is a red rope dog tooth on the stall.

Gu Xiyue stepped forward and carefully selected.

"Is Madam going to buy dog ​​teeth for the children in the family to ward off evil spirits?"

Yes, dog teeth can ward off evil spirits among the people. Since ancient times, they have represented loyalty, and black dogs can even drive away evil spirits and keep them safe.

Therefore, even dog teeth can be safe. Generally, the parents of a child with physical weakness will wear dog teeth for him, so as to ensure his safe growth.

Although Xiaobao's body has always been very good, wearing a dog tooth is also trying to be safe.

Gu Xiyue chose two bright white dog teeth, it is not at all obvious that they are dog teeth, but it looks like white jade has been polished into the shape of dog teeth.

She rubbed it gently with her fingertips, and the tentacles felt even more moist.

Passing by a pastry shop, Gu Xiyue put on her skirt and walked in. There was a sweet smell of pastries inside.

The pastry owner stepped forward and asked, "Madam, do you want to buy some pastries?"

Gu Xiyue nodded and said, "I want to buy some milk cakes that are easy for children to digest. I'm wrapping some mung bean cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for me."

"Good lady."

When everything was bought, Gu Xiyue was already carrying big and small bags.

The coachman saw Gu Xiyue from afar, and immediately pulled up to take these things.

Then they drove Gu Xiyue back to the palace, Gu Xiyue was thinking about Xiaobao all the way.

I was too busy during this time, and I really ignored him too much.

She looked at the things on the side, and couldn't help but smile a little on her face, hoping that Xiaobao would be happy to receive these gifts.

Thinking of Xiaobao's excited and happy expression when the time comes, Gu Xiyue's smile deepens a bit.

When he returned to the palace, Xiaobao was practicing calligraphy at this time. Perhaps Gu Xiyue was too busy recently, so Xiaobao obediently found something to do on his own.

I saw him sitting in front of the desk, holding a brush in his hand with a serious expression on his face, he didn't look like a child at all, he looked like a little adult.

Gu Xiyue saw this scene as soon as she walked into the yard. She was so young, but she was sensible and cute.

"Little treasure."

Gu Xiyue shouted softly.

Hearing Gu Xiyue's voice, Xiaobao immediately raised his head and his expression changed instantly, as if the seriousness and little adult just now no longer existed.

With a happy smile on his face, he dropped the brush and happily ran towards Gu Xiyue.

"Auntie, you are finally back!"

He threw himself into Gu Xiyue's arms and said coquettishly, "Xiao Bao misses Aunt."

Gu Xiyue squeezed his face, and then put all the gifts in front of him.

"During this time, I was too busy to ignore you. I prepared these presents for you. Please take them away."

Hearing that Gu Xiyue said it was a gift for herself, Xiao Bao hurriedly hugged her and smiled.

"Are these all for me?"

Gu Xiyue nodded.

Xiaobao pursed his lips and smiled, "Then can I take them all apart?"

"Since it's a gift for you, of course you can open it."

In front of Gu Xiyue, Xiao Bao excitedly unwrapped the present, and then made a happy voice.

"Candied haws, shadow puppets, milk cake, mung bean cake, osmanthus cake, these are all things I like."

On weekdays, Xiaobao likes shadow puppets, just like modern people collect figures.

He looked at the shadow puppets with bright eyes, "It's so beautiful, just like me and A Niang, these two shadow puppets are mother and child."

"Yes."

Gu Xiyue stepped forward to manipulate the female shadow puppet, and then Xiao Bao manipulated the child's shadow puppet.

The smile on Xiaobao's face never faded.

Seeing that Xiaobao is so obedient, Gu Xiyue hugged and fed him milk cake, Xiaobao's face was so red and cute.

This afternoon Gu Xiyue stayed with Xiaobao, and finally Xiaobao was going to sleep, so Gu Xiyue took out the dog's tooth and tied it to his hand.

Xiaobao looked at Gouya curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Gu Xiyue kissed him on the side of the cheek and said, "This is a dog's tooth that can keep you safe. Aniang hopes that Xiaobao will grow up safely."

"Thank you Ma'am."

Xiao Bao hugged his wrists to his chest with a happy smile on his face.

After spending a whole day with Xiaobao, Gu Xiyue started to get busy again, and finally she researched all the cosmetics and skin care products she needed.

Gu Xiyue wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

I only heard her whispering, "Next, the market will open and prepare for the opening."

At this time, her eyes were firm and ambitious, the eyes of a businessman.
