Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 167 Selling Chestnuts

What they didn't know was that behind their team, there was always a young man following them. When Nan Gongxun's men were about to catch up with them, he hid on the side of the road they must pass alone, waiting for Nan Gongxun's arrival. people approach.

Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, they secretly attacked and defeated them one by one, and actually blocked those people all the way. Because of the darkness, Nan Gongxun's people were killed and injured countless times, and he blocked them all the way, delaying a lot of journey .

The man wrestled with the enemy for a long time, before he got rid of them and caught up with them again.

This man is Colin.

He secretly followed Zhu Zixin all the way, seeing that she was riding in a carriage with a man in black all the time, he couldn't help feeling an inexplicable anger rising in his heart, which made him really want to find out who this person was and why he wanted to Fight Zhu Zixin with him, and Zhu Zixin seems to like him more than himself, otherwise he would not go to the inn and tell him to let him go home and buy a house to marry a wife.

Following them to Chuzhou City, and seeing them enter the gate of the prefect of Chuzhou, Kobe kept guard outside the gate.

Zhu Zixin knew nothing about all this. She, Nan Gongxi, and Zhu Ziyi were taken to the mansion by the prefect of Chuzhou, and they were arranged in the backyard. Since several of them were injured, they planned to raise them here. Day's injury and then go.

On this day, the weather was already very cold, and just half a day after arriving in Chuzhou, there were snowflakes in the sky again.

At the dinner table, Lei Wencheng, the prefect of Chuzhou, enthusiastically said to Nangong Xi:

"It's rare for His Royal Highness to come to our Chuzhou, so we should stay for a few more days. It just so happens that today is our annual New Year's Eve in Chuzhou. Why don't you go for a stroll, it has some local characteristics."

Hearing this, Nangongxi glanced at Zhu Zixin, Zhu Zixin showed a look of yearning, he nodded immediately and said:
"Then bother the magistrate!"

It is located in the frontier, and there are many things that the Central Plains does not have. The climate is much colder than that of the capital. The most famous thing is the rare ice sculptures.

After eating, Nan Gongxi took Zhu Zixin to go around the market, Zhu Zixin hurriedly greeted Zhu Ziyi and said:

"Brother, let's go shopping together!"

"Oh, I still have something to do here, just go with the prince!"

Zhu Ziyi hastily rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and fled.He just wanted to create an opportunity for his sister and the prince to be alone together.

Naturally, although they have come to Chuzhou, the danger has not been lifted, and they dare not take it lightly. Not only are Nan Gongxi's people pretending to be commoners and following them, but Lei Wencheng has also sent many people to patrol the city. All of them were arrested.

Zhu Zixin didn't know all this. For more than half a year, he lived on that small island and then escaped exhaustedly. It was extremely hard work. Naturally, he didn't have the opportunity and mood to go shopping. For her, it is really rare, not to mention that Chuzhou is quite different from the capital city, and there are many new things, so, since she came out, she has been looking around with her almond eyes.

She is curious about everything she sees, especially when looking at ice sculptures.

Zhu Zixin's eyes were wide open, very serious, watching very carefully, as if afraid of missing something.

This ice sculpture is really beautiful, let alone in this life, even at 21 hours, she has never seen such a beautiful thing, transparent ice, but with various shapes, there are horses, cows, There are fish swimming in the water, white clouds floating in the sky, beautiful flowers and birds, large statues of Bodhisattvas, and magical palaces...they are all different in shape, vivid and interesting to watch. Zhu Zixin was very happy.

Zhu Zixin has been looking at the ice sculptures, but Nangongxi has been watching Zhu Zixin. Seeing her so happy, a smile can't help but draw on the corners of her lips.

At this moment, he felt that his decision was right. Looking at Zhu Zixin's smile, he knew that it was right for him to bring her out. Although this kind of behavior was risky, he had made enough preparations , should be fine.

At this time, Zhu Zixin suddenly saw a small stall selling sugar-fried chestnuts, she ran over happily, picked one up and stuffed it into her mouth.

Seeing the girl's clothes, the person who fried the chestnuts with rock sugar knew that she was not an ordinary person, and said with a smile on his face, "Girl, are chestnuts delicious?"

Zhu Zixin was chewing chestnuts, and seeing the man asking herself, she nodded hurriedly: "It's delicious, it's delicious."

"It's delicious, just take a few more."

As Nangong Xu said, he took out an ingot of silver from his pocket and handed it over. Seeing so much silver, the chestnut seller suddenly opened his eyes wide. He couldn't earn this ingot even if he sold chestnuts for a year. a lot.Therefore, I dare not reach out to pick it up.

"Take it, you don't need to look for it."

Seeing that the chestnut seller was in a daze, Nangongxi stuffed it into his hand, and then she wanted to take Zhu Zixin away.

Unexpectedly, when the man with chestnuts was happy, he put all his chestnuts in a basket, hugged them in his arms, and handed them to Nan Gongxi, smiling so much that he couldn't close his mouth, and said: "All these are given to the girl. Thank you for your reward, young master, thank you for your reward."

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Holding the basket of chestnuts in her hand, Nangong Xi was stunned for a moment. How could she finish eating so much? She turned around and said "Hello...", but the chestnut seller was nowhere to be seen.

Zhu Zixin grabbed a handful of chestnuts in the basket, took a few and threw them into his mouth, saying: "It tastes good."

"But, how can you eat so much by yourself, why not..."

"Why don't we sell them?"

Before Nangongxi finished speaking, Zhu Zixin turned around and said.

"..."

Nangong Xi was speechless. "Sell it, in this world of ice and snow?"

"Yeah! I grew up and never tasted the life of ordinary people. When I was young, I often fantasized that my parents were doing everything. Naturally, I also fantasized that they were in business. If they don't leave me, yes Isn’t our family selling rock candied chestnuts on the side of the road? Haha!

Maybe it's because I haven't been free for a long time, maybe it's because of the heavy snow, maybe it's because of this bag of rock candied chestnuts, Zhu Zixin is acting more stupid than usual!She said happily like a child.

"Actually, I have thought about what you said! When I was a child, I often wished that my father would spend more time with me. I always wished that he was not the emperor!"

Unexpectedly, her words brought back Nangongxi's memories, and he said with some melancholy while holding the basket of chestnuts.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's treat ourselves as ordinary chestnut sellers, shall we? Come on!"

With that said, Zhu Zixin took the basket of chestnuts and placed them on the side of the road just like the chestnut seller there.

Infected by her emotions, Nan Gongxi actually stood behind the stall and started selling chestnuts with Zhu Zixin.

"Selling chestnuts, sweet and fragrant rock sugar chestnuts!"

Zhu Zixin was excited to play, and actually shouted loudly. When she shouted, Nan Gongxun's face was flushed red, and he hurriedly pulled Zhu Zixin's sleeve and said:

"Don't shout! It's shameful!"

"Is it ashamed to sell things? Your Highness, don't forget, you are now a businessman!"

Zhu Zixin glanced at Nangongxi in disgust, and said solemnly.

"I know, but let's just stand here quietly and don't talk, okay? If someone comes to buy, buy it, if no one comes to buy, forget it!"

Nangongxi's tone actually had a hint of pleading, and Zhu Zixin almost couldn't help laughing.However, she still held back her laughter and said:
"Ok."

Seeing that she agreed, Nan Gongxi let out a long sigh of relief, finally dodging a catastrophe.

"Look, there is a handsome couple selling chestnuts over there, go and have a look!"

At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from the street, and then, all the people on the street looked at Nan Gongxi and Zhu Zixin.

Nangongxi's heart that had just calmed down was suddenly confused again. He hurriedly lowered his body, covered his face with the lid of the basket, and whispered to Zhu Zixin:
"I think we'd better not sell it, otherwise, something will happen here soon!"

"What could happen? At most, we sold out our chestnuts!"

Zhu Zaixin said disapprovingly.Seeing that Nangong Xi's face is so thin, she just thought it was funny, and just wanted to tease him more, so she deliberately said:
"Why don't you let me yell, and you can weigh people here, okay?"

"No! My aunt, you'd better not sell it! It's not fun!"

Nangong Xi still covered her face with the basket and said.

"Hey, everyone, come and see, the most delicious sugar-fried chestnuts!"

Zhu Zixin ignored him, but shouted even louder.

With this shout, almost at the same time, the stall was instantly crowded with people.

"Hey, Boss, you see that the lady boss is too busy, why don't you hurry up and help? What are you doing hiding below?"

At this moment, someone pointed at Nangong Xi and said.

"..."

As soon as the man finished speaking, Zhu Zixin's face turned red.

But Nangong Xi suddenly became happy because of these words. He threw away the basket and stood up quickly, but broke out in a cold sweat because of the pain that had touched the unhealed wound. However, he still couldn't close his smile. He said to the fat woman just now:
"I just twisted my waist, it's all right, big sister, how much do you want?"

"I want two pennies."

The fat woman handed over the two pennies, Nan Gongxi stretched out her hand, looked at the two pennies in a daze for a while, then randomly wrapped some chestnuts and handed them to the woman.

"There are so many! Wow! Boss, you are so kind! Seeing that you and your wife just got married, you are such a kind person, I wish you and your husband have a baby soon!"

"..."

After the man finished speaking, he turned and left. Nan Gongxi turned her head and saw Zhu Zixin looking at her with a flushed face. She couldn't help raising her hand and said:
"I didn't say that, it was her..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Zixin waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, I don't care about you! Where's the money from the sale? Bring it!"
