Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 624 Unexpected Encounter
When Su Ruoqing crossed the street and looked back at the end, he saw that the street was covered with colorful handkerchiefs, which showed how popular he was in the eyes of the girls.Seeing this, the men walking on this street felt bitter towards Su Ruoqing, and some even said, "If you don't want to find flowers and ask Liu, why bother to walk this street? Now that you are here, why should you abandon so many good intentions? You are so beautiful, It’s really enviable.”

After walking through this Liuxiang Flower Street, turn in another direction, and you will find another relatively quiet street. There are mainly shops on both sides of the street. It seemed quieter.

The shops are uneven, and they sell a wide variety of things, including grocery stores, ready-made clothing stores, silks, satins, weddings and funerals, etc. After shopping along the street, you can buy almost everything you need for life on this street.

Su Ruoqing seemed to have a lot of fun shopping. He walked into an antique shop, and the small ornaments inside were all very delicate, but there was nothing he wanted to buy after walking around. When he walked out the door, the shop owner was still chasing after him. He stopped and said: "Young master, I have many other treasures here, you can take a look, maybe there is one that suits your wishes?" He handed out a piece of jade pendant that was quite delicate in workmanship, and said, "How about Take a look at this, this Panlong Jade Pendant is a good thing that came out of the palace during the war, the emperor has worn it himself, if you like it, I will give you a cheaper price."

The father-in-law smiled and said nothing.Su Ruoqing stood at the door, the sky was clear outside, he seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on his lips, he turned to the shop owner and said, "No, thank you."

When he walked out, there were strings of small dark yellow gourds hanging at the door. The wind blew gently, and the strings of small gourds made a crisp sound.

Su Ruoqing said: "Jiangnan is a good place, quiet and indifferent."

Gonggong said: "Young master's words are very true."

After walking for a while, Su Ruoqing came across a calligraphy and painting shop. He wanted to go in and take a look, but in the blink of an eye, he saw a wedding candy shop next to the calligraphy and painting shop. After thinking about it, he stepped forward and went into that wedding candy shop.The owner of the wedding candy shop is a middle-aged woman who is quite coquettishly dressed, a bit like a wedding lady who yelled loudly on the day when someone got married. When she saw Su Ruoqing coming in, her face blossomed into a smile, and she hurriedly came out with a champagne to greet her. Welcome, said: "Young master, come in and have a look, see what kind of wedding candy you need, I wonder what date the young master's good deed will be?"

Su Ruoqing said, "I'll just take a look."

Just as he walked in, a carriage drove up from the street outside and stopped in front of the painting and calligraphy shop.Wang Zhanyue was carrying her own box, which should be the tools she used to paint for others. The driver jumped out of the carriage and carefully took the box for her and put it in the carriage. Wang Zhanyue turned her head and said to the clerk in the shop : "Look at the shop carefully, I will come back after I finish painting."

The clerk in the store is a young scholar with a refined appearance, thinking that calligraphy and painting shops are his aspirations, he replied: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I'm here to watch."

Wang Zhanyue nodded, put down the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage drove away slowly, passing the door of the wedding candy shop, and hurried away like a white horse.

Su Ruoqing wandered around the wedding candy shop for a while. The wedding candies inside were wrapped in various colored wrappers, which looked very festive.He pointed to one of them and asked, "Miss Boss, can I have a taste of this one?"

"Of course." The proprietress quickly picked one for him, and said, "Young Master, you have a good eye. This kind of wedding candy is the best in the store, and it is naturally the sweetest."

Su Ruoqing peeled off the candy wrapper, looked at the candies inside, and then put it in his mouth to taste.The father-in-law looked at Su Ruoqing's expression from the side, and couldn't help asking: "Do you think it's the kind you ate before?" He knew Su Ruoqing's thoughts best.

When the proprietress saw it, she handed another one to the father-in-law, and said with a smile: "Come on, the old man will try one too."

After Su Ruoqing finished eating, he said, "It's very sweet."

The proprietress said: "Then, do you think dessert is better or light?"

Su Ruoqing said, "Anything is fine."

The proprietress was a little confused. She didn't know whether what he said was good or bad, but she still asked, "Does the young master want to buy this kind of wedding candy?"

Su Ruoqing picked out a few other wedding candies, all of which he had eaten before, and the red candy wrappers in his palm were very eye-catching, and said, "I want these."

The father-in-law raised his hand and gave the proprietress a small piece of silver. Su Ruoqing had already turned around and walked out. The father-in-law smiled kindly to the proprietress: "My son just likes sweets. Please forgive me, the boss's wife is enough money for the candy. Bar?"

The proprietress took it, nodded and said: "Enough, enough." It was the first time she saw this handsome boy who likes to eat sweets, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances. Can't help but take a look.

When the father-in-law walked out of the shop, he saw Su Ruoqing standing under the sun, peeling off another candy and putting it in his mouth.The sun gathered on his face, bright and intertwined, and his thin pale pink lips moved slightly.He turned to his father-in-law and said, "This candy is so sweet, but there is no such sweet candy in the palace."

Eunuch said: "It's no wonder that the box of wedding candy that Princess Xian Tuo Ning gave to the young master last time has made the young master reminisce until now. If the young master misses it in his heart, it is better to go to the Xianwang's mansion."

Su Ruoqing closed her palm, held the candy wrapper into her palm, and said lightly: "Candy is sugar, and people are people. They can't be confused."

The father-in-law replied with a smile: "Yes, the old slave said something wrong."

Later, Su Ruoqing went to the calligraphy and painting shop next to the wedding candy shop.A few steps in front of the door, he walked up step by step. The scholar buddy in the store was framing calligraphy and paintings. Seeing a customer coming to put down the work in hand, he stepped forward and asked, "What kind of calligraphy and painting do you need, my lord? The ones displayed in the store You can take a look at these young masters at will, if there is something you like, let me know."

Calligraphy and paintings are hung on the four walls of the shop, some are fresh and elegant, some are magnificent, and some are delicate and delicate.Su Ruoqing admired it for a while, and said, "Are all the calligraphy and paintings here done by everyone?"

The clerk laughed and said, "It's probably the handwriting of our shopkeeper." He pointed to the framed calligraphy and paintings on a wall, "These framed paintings are all drawn by the shopkeeper, but they are only framed after someone has ordered them." , Buyers will come to pick them up one after another. Those," he pointed to another wall, "the ones that haven't been framed are the ones that haven't been sold yet. You're from outside, right?"

Su Ruoqing gave a "hmm".The clerk said again: "No wonder, everyone in Gusu city knows this place. I think the young master is also an elegant person, but it seems that this is the first time he has entered a small shop, so he ventured to speculate. In addition to the shopkeeper After that, we will gradually introduce some other people's paintings that the shopkeeper likes, and our shopkeeper will not accept money for those paintings, and we will give back to the painters as much as we sell." The shopkeeper seemed to think that he It seemed that I had talked a little too much, so I smiled apologetically, "Young master came here for the first time, so I said a few more words for a while. I said these to make you feel at ease. The rule here is that all the treasures of the study are given to you by the young master. There will be no fixed price for the eyes, but if you want to invite our shopkeeper to go out or paint for the young master on the spot, there will be a corresponding price."

Su Ruoqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Where's your shopkeeper?" He really wanted to meet someone who could draw so many paintings.Some of these paintings are graceful and some are magnificent, and it seems that they are not made by one person at all.

But the waiter said: "What a coincidence, my lord, our shopkeeper just went out to paint for others, and he left for a while. If you want to see me at this time, I'm afraid you can't. She should not be able to come back until dark."

"So, forget it."

In the end, Su Ruoqing didn't buy a single painting and came out of the shop.The father-in-law looked up at the sun and said, "Master, should we find a place to have tea first? The sun is too strong. Also, if you don't go to the Xian Wang's mansion today, the old slave will arrange for the princess later. A place to stay."

Su Ruoqing nodded and said, "Go along this street and look for it."

However, just as the two of them walked to the end of the street and encountered a crossroad, a person came from the side, wearing a green suit, with his hair pulled up high, and he looked very heroic.She kept her eyes fixed and was walking forward without noticing the scene here.

The father-in-law pointed at her and lost his voice: "Young master, this is not. This is not the virtuous king."

Maybe it’s because Gusu City is too small. Walking the same bluestone streets, breathing the same air, the sun’s rays slanted from above the eaves, casting a wavy shadow. There are times when they meet and cross.

Su Ruoqing didn't expect to meet Ye Song so soon.She is still the same as before, she doesn't seem to have changed much, she still likes to wear a man's clothes, neat and tidy.It's just that the charm of the side face seems to be different with the passage of time, becoming more mature and charming.

Su Ruoqing didn't know how to react for a while, so she stood there in a daze.He hadn't even planned for this kind of unexpected encounter, it just happened.

The father-in-law's voice was not too loud, and it just reached Ye Song's ears.Ye Song also stopped at that time and turned to look this way.

If her father-in-law hadn't lost her voice, maybe she wouldn't have found out that Su Ruoqing had arrived in Gusu ahead of schedule.When she squinted her eyes through the bright light and saw Su Ruoqing's face clearly, she was also stunned for a moment.

Ye Song quickly walked over in two steps, stopped three steps away from Su Ruoqing, blinked his eyes, and made sure that he was not mistaken, the person in front of him was undoubtedly Su Ruoqing, the current emperor, and just about to bow down, Su Ruoqing took the first step and said: "I keep things light and simple. If you give such a big gift, it will cause unnecessary trouble."
