Confused country poison concubine

Chapter 209 What He Said Is True (4)
She looked at Baili Chu's sleeping face in a daze for a while, then slowly got up, pulled off her clothes and draped them over her shoulders, got out of bed and walked towards the window.

In the early morning of summer, the sky was surrounded by dark clouds, and after a few muffled thunderclaps, it started to rain.

Drops of dense raindrops strung together into a curtain made of water, isolating everything, the cool breeze outside the window dissipated all the heat, and a fresh mist of water drifted into the bamboo window.

There is no pedestrian on the street, and it is quiet, except for the faint shadows of boats on the river in the distance, and the shadows of mountains in the distance, looking through the dense rain curtain, it makes people feel like they are looking at a very freehand painting. ink painting.

Qiu Yebai watched quietly, thinking of the days in the small building by the river in Cangjiange, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Until suddenly a lazy voice came from behind: "What are you looking at?"

There was still a hoarseness in the voice that had just woken up, with a curly ending, and a charming taste.

Qiu Yebai's eyes cleared up, only to find that the rain outside the window had gradually decreased, but there was only a layer of rain and fog that was so thin that it was almost invisible. A faint smile: "The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty."

As soon as the words fell, a little girl's crunchy voice came from outside: "Xinghua, Xinghua, selling apricot blossoms..."

The voice lingered in a quiet small building, and it became more and more sweet and crisp.

Qiu Yebai was stunned: "How can there be apricot blossoms in this season?"

Apricot blossoms are only available in spring, and it’s already a bitter summer, yet there are still apricot blossoms for sale?
There was a knock on the door, and it was Shuangbai who brought breakfast early in the morning.

Bailichu let him in, and said: "The terrain on the south bank is special. There is a very high mountain outside the city. The mountain faces the north and the high place is colder. There is also a cold spring coming from nowhere. There are still frost and snow, it is the bitter summer in July and August, and it is still cool there."

She sat down at the table, raised her eyebrows and said in wonder, "That's a good place to escape the summer heat, that means these apricot flowers are not picked by Huaniang after the rain, but are picked every day for sale?"

Baili Chu nodded: "Exactly."

After the two washed up separately, they sat down and prepared to have breakfast separately.

Without saying a word, Qiu Yebai soon ran out and put down the bowls and chopsticks early, looked at Bai Lichu, and said indifferently: "I want to take a walk in the city for a while."

She hadn't gone out for three or two days in the small building to "rehabilitate her wounds", and couldn't contact the baby, so she had to go to the city first to find a contact signal.

Baili Chu nodded, with the same expression on his face: "That's fine, I probably haven't been able to relax for a long time."

When Qiu Yebai saw his appearance, she knew that he was going to relax, and he just wanted to follow her.

Qiu Yebai paused for a moment, but nodded without refusing: "Yes."

Even if he followed her, he wouldn't know how she got in touch with Bao Bao and the others. The contact method of Hidden Sword Pavilion has its own special features.

It's just... How is he going to cover up Bailichu's face?

By the time Qiu Yebai had changed into ordinary muslin clothes and came out, Bailichu had already changed into an ordinary silk black robe, and wore a bamboo hat on his head, and the black gauze hung down from the sides of the bamboo hat to cover most of his body .

Qiu Yebai looked at his attire. Even though he was dressed in such a simple way, it couldn't be said that it was not eye-catching. She secretly sighed helplessly. This His Highness's temperament is too outstanding, and the more he deliberately conceals it, the more eye-catching it will be. It is really impossible.

When the two of them went out, Shuang Bai respectfully stood by the door and sent them off with a smile: "The road is slippery after the rain, masters, be careful."

Qiu Yebai didn't see Yibai, so he knew that he might be hiding behind them again.

She smiled softly in her heart, but her face remained calm, she only nodded goodbye to Shuangbai, and walked out together with Bailichu carrying the burden.

The underground drainage system here on the south bank is quite developed, but the water on the street after the rain is not too much, so soon there are many small stalls on both sides of the street, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increases.

Looking at both sides of the bustling road, Qiu Yebai seemed to be in a good mood, walking all the way, looking at the stalls of those sugar makers from time to time, or those stalls selling various small objects.

Bai Lichu followed her quietly, watching her happily wandering around the busy stalls on both sides, getting excited from time to time, as if she couldn't stand the temptation of the peddler, and wanted to spend money to buy some gadgets.

But he also noticed that she seemed to buy and look at things randomly, without any special fixation, a fan sinker, a small bottle of inferior jasmine hair oil, or a small and delicate lock, or even dried salted fish. Skewers, or some characteristic small glazed objects in Huainan.

I don't know if there is any deep meaning in it.

Baili Chu narrowed his eyes slightly, he followed her just to see how she got in touch with her people.

"Here." Qiu Yebai suddenly handed him a bunch of things.

Bailichu was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the thing—a fruit skewer, with a layer of glistening syrup poured on it, which looked extremely delicious.

but……

He shook his head: "Dirty!"

Qiu Yebai looked at his haughty posture, without lifting the veil, she knew that he must be disgusted at this moment.

She suddenly remembered that if Yuanze had probably swallowed the whole bunch of candied haws without any hesitation at this time, she continued to eat up all her silver bags.

She chuckled lightly, but she didn't take it seriously, she just took back the candied haws skewers in her hand, took a bite of a fruit, and murmured softly: "It's best if you don't eat it, the sour and crunchy fruit is covered with a layer of greasy syrup , sweet and sour is the most refreshing."

Seeing her appearance, Bailichu gave a light snort, took out a delicate bag from his sleeve, took a piece of delicate rose cake from it, and put it in his mouth.

Master Shuangbai is a qualified 'housekeeper's wife', and every time she comes out, she must prepare the most delicate and delicious snacks for her master.

Qiu Yebai looked at him like that, he seemed a little bit angry like a little girl, so he couldn't help laughing.

And it was clear that there were others who felt the same way as she did.

A crunchy and sweet voice sounded: "Brother, your wife looks so beautiful, let's buy an apricot flower for your wife, I just picked it before it rained this morning, and it still has dew on it." Well, it’s so beautiful, it must suit your wife best.”

Qiu Yebai froze for a moment, turned her face away, and was facing a pair of big eyes, a small baby face, covered with tiny freckles, a little girl of twelve or thirteen was reaching out to grab her On his sleeve, in the flower basket on his arm lay clumps of pink apricot blossoms with dewdrops.
