Chapter 13 North Country
The old man left after finishing speaking, but Gu Xue couldn't hear the rest of the sentence clearly.

Later, she seemed to have seen the girl's life, from her childhood to the crowning of the child... She felt sour in her heart, and she could see her carefree and happy from the man's every frown and smile.

……

A bird cry woke Gu Xue up from her dream.Looking at the gradually brightening sky outside, Gu Xue slowly sat up.The strange thing is that I actually remember everything in the dream.

She couldn't help thinking: "I don't know when I will be able to smile so recklessly like her."

Just at this time, Rong Lu Rongshuang pushed the door and walked in.

Rong Shuang saw Gu Xue who was sitting on the bed with a dazed face: "Hey, Miss, why did you wake up so early today? Did you have a nightmare?"

Gu Xue came to her senses and quickly waved her hands: "No, I'm just thinking about going out with you today and I'm a little excited. And I just woke up."

Rong Lu didn't think too much: "Okay, miss, let's wash up quickly, and then go play."

"Okay." Gu Xue sat up and got out of bed.

When Rong Shuang was combing Gu Xue's hair, Li Xinyue came.

After the two saluted, they continued to comb Gu Xue's hair, and didn't intend to talk to her.After all, this person may be the master's rival in love in the future, how could he give her a good face, hum.

And Li Xinyue didn't mind at all, sitting opposite Gu Xue, she began to discuss plans with her.

Li Xinyue: "What do you think we will go shopping in the street later?"

Gu Xue thought for a while: "I want to buy delicious food, the more the better, there are also preserved fruits and meat."

Li Xinyue also agreed: "Yes, there are pastries from Suji's. If it rains, you can't go out again."

"Uh-huh."

Li Xinyue excitedly told Gu Xue which family's roast chicken was delicious and which family's candied haws were authentic.It wasn't until Gu Xue finished washing that Li Xinyue stopped.

The Rong sisters said: I am so greedy.

Although Gu Xue listened carefully, she felt that she was about to die of starvation.The four quickly took a few mouthfuls of food, greeted Mrs. Gu, and went out together.

It was also the first time for Rong Shuangronglu to go out on the street like this. In the past, she would go out with her master at most, but now she can actually go shopping by herself.

Soon Ronglu Rongshuang applied to go shopping separately, Gu Xue readily agreed and gave them a few taels of silver.Then Li Xinyue took Gu Xue's little hand and walked around the whole street.

While walking, Gu Xue suddenly smelled a fragrance, which came from an inn.

She hurriedly dragged Li Xinyue in to look for it, and finally saw a man dressed strangely who seemed to be from another country, and there was a pot of charcoal fire in front of him.

Gu Xue didn't even think about it: "Boss, how do you sell roasted sweet potatoes?"

Li Xinyue was confused, what is a sweet potato?
The person sitting in front of the charcoal fire was also stunned, and there was a taste of the Northeast when he opened his mouth: "Little girl, how do you know this is a sweet potato?"

Hearing what he said, Gu Xue understood that this should be the entourage of the foreign envoys who came to the state banquet.After all, the clothes on him are not so luxurious, if it is an envoy, the clothes should be very gorgeous.

"My lord, my little girl heard from my family that there is a new plant planted in the Northland. Its roots are edible, called sweet potato. Most people eat it roasted. So I guess it should be sweet potato. I could smell the scent just now on the street.”

The man laughed when he heard this: "I didn't expect the girl to be so knowledgeable. You don't need any money. I'll get someone to send you some."

"Then thank you sir." Gu Xue responded to him with a smile.

What they didn't know was that a pale black figure upstairs was watching their every move.The man looked at the two people, one tall and one short, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, thinking to himself: "I never thought that the little girl in the southern country is so smart and cute."

The man waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward: "My lord."

"Go and send those raw sweet potatoes on our table to the younger girl downstairs."

"Yes, my lord."

After a while, the man who was roasting sweet potatoes came back.

"Girl, these two are cooked. These are raw, you can take them home and bake them yourself for a try."

Gu Xue's eyes lit up: "Really? Thank you so much. But we will feel sorry if you don't charge money if you have to." Saying that, she stuffed the money into his hand.

The man didn't hesitate when he saw her like this, so he accepted her.Only then did Gu Xue leave with sweet potatoes and Li Xinyue in her arms.And the prince upstairs saw her leave before returning to his senses.

It wasn't until noon that Gu Xue and Li Xinyue started to walk home.Their hands were full of things, most of them were Gu Xue's snacks, Li Xinyue didn't like to eat these things very much.At this time, the sky was no longer as hot as before, and dark clouds were slowly approaching.

Gu Xue and Li Xinyue couldn't help speeding up their pace.
