The concubine is so charming

46 Chapter 46

Today, she was going to ride a horse to Qingyun Town at the foot of the mountain, so Xie Wanning chose a neat and simple riding outfit, and her hair was only tied in a pony bun, which is commonly used by ordinary women, and two silk flowers were dotted on it.

Xiao Mingxiu was also dressed simply. The two of them stood together and looked at each other. Xie Wanning smiled: "Your Majesty is very energetic in such clothes."

Even if it's not brocade clothes, Xiao Mingxiu still has a majestic aura. He is tall and has long legs, so he looks good in any clothes.

She originally praised Xiao Mingxiu sincerely. In her heart, His Majesty is indeed handsome, but she didn't know where she said it wrong, but Xiao Mingxiu didn't seem very happy, and just glanced at her lightly: "Let's go, aren't you in a hurry? ?”

Xie Wanning was excited in her heart, but she didn't notice it, and followed him out the door with a smile.

Breakfast is simple, and two cups of tea will fill you up.Xiao Mingxiu also told her when she was digesting: "I will have lunch in Qingyun Town in a while. There are many snacks in the market in the town, so you can try them all."

As soon as she heard that there was something delicious, Xie Wanning laughed: "That's a good relationship. I have almost never tasted the snacks in Jizhou. Today can be regarded as a feast with His Majesty."

After all, Xiao Mingxiu is not a small-minded person, seeing her happy smile, he also put aside the unhappiness in the morning in his heart, and reached out to help her straighten her crooked earrings. ,all in

Today her body is very simple, there is no gold, silver or jewelry on her head, only the earrings are made of white jade, which makes her simple and generous, a little different from the past.

It was the first time he saw her wearing an ordinary dress, and it was a bit novel.

It was the first time for Xie Wanning to wear this earring. Seeing that Xiao Mingxiu noticed it, she said, "This is brought by my concubine from home. It is a Jiji gift. Although the style is simple, I am reluctant to throw it away."

Xiao Mingxiu sighed inwardly, and praised her: "It's very pretty, and it suits you too."

Xie Wanning smiled at him, turned around and went to prepare the purse filled with money: "When I arrive in the town in a while, my concubine invites His Majesty to lunch, how about it?"

She is always very considerate in handling affairs, knowing that she will go down the mountain, she dresses very carefully, even the embroidery on the purse is the handicraft of Xiaogong, it doesn't look very delicate.

Xiao Mingxiu nodded and said, "Then I would like to thank my mother for the reward."

It was not suitable to ride a horse after breakfast, and the two of them had to sit for a while before going down the mountain. Xie Wanning pulled Xiao Mingxiu up to check whether there were any illegal accessories on his body.

Looking at it this way, there was indeed a purse embroidered with a golden dragon, and Xie Wanning took it off: "Although the common people can't see it, you still have to be more careful. After all, going out is not as safe as being in the palace."

Xiao Mingxiu looked down at the top of her hair. The thick black hair was tied up in a bun, and there were two silk flowers beside her ears. The light lake blue was exactly the same as her riding outfit, making her even more elegant.

"If a battalion of people follow, what can happen." Xiao Mingxiu said in a low voice.

Xie Wanning looked up at him, helped him smooth the tassels on the purse again, and then felt appropriate: "Be careful, there is no big mistake."

After the two put on their cloaks and mounted their horses, they galloped towards Qingyun Town together.Around Xie Wanning, only Qiuyun and Dongxue could ride horses, and this time they went down the mountain together.

Half an hour later, the scenery of Qingyun Town came into everyone's eyes.

Xie Wanning seriously looked at the scenery that she hadn't seen for a long time, her mood fluctuated for a while, and she was a little uncontrollably excited.

A small stream surrounds the town, and pedestrians cross the arch bridge to enter Qingyun Town.The merchants drove the carriages full of goods and stopped at the post station outside the town to register for entering the town.Villagers from nearby villages hurried over with their own vegetables and fruits on their backs. The baskets behind them were heavy and tightly packed.The commercial street in the town is extremely lively, and several inns have newly built three floors. Occasionally, a window is opened from the inside, and the lady in Huafu can be seen leaning on the window.

This is the most ordinary autumn day in Qingyun Town, bustling and calm, noisy and peaceful, because the short-lived prosperity brought about by the emperor's visit to the Dong'an paddock to escape the summer heat revived the vitality of Qingyun Town, and even the people in the neighboring villages also followed suit. to many households.

When they approached, they could still hear the shouts of the people, and everyone had smiles on their faces, happy in this prosperous and peaceful world.

Xie Wanning only felt her heart beating fast, maybe it was because she was riding a horse, or it could be because of other reasons, in short, her whole body was full of heat, which made her forehead sweat.

Even though Qingyun Town is very lively at this time, with voices of people, dogs barking, and cars and horses tinkling, Xie Wanning doesn't feel noisy.

A boy with braids on his head ran past their line, all the way to the hawker selling candied haws, his mother followed behind, desperately chasing forward: "Stone, come back to me!"

There was a sudden jump of chicken and dog jumping.

But Xie Wanning and Xiao Mingxiu just sat on the horses indifferently, quietly watching them having fun.

It was the long-lost human fireworks.

In front of the arch bridge, Xiao Mingxiu called to stop: "Get off your horse from here, let's walk in."

There are quite a lot of people in their team, if they ride directly into the town, they will definitely disturb the people, which is not beautiful after all.

Xie Wanning was supported by Xiao Mingxiu to get off Zhu Yun, and straightened the cloak strap: "Do you need to wear a veiled hat? Sir, I see that no one in the town wears it."

If it weren't for the proximity to Dong'an paddock, Qingyun Town would be just an ordinary town, and the biggest official here would be the town envoy, and the common people might not see any daughters and wives of officials throughout the year.

However, it was precisely because of the Dong'an paddock that Qingyun Town gradually prospered. Every year when the royal driver came to hunt or escape from the summer heat, a large number of courtiers and their families always came to accompany the royal driver.Those with higher grades will naturally stay in the Huangzhuang near Dong'an paddock, while those with lower grades who want to curry favor with the peak can only find an inn in Qingyun Town to make a living.

This is also the reason why Xiao Mingxiu dared to bring Xie Wanning here. Officials below the fifth rank cannot face the saints every day. Even the Grand Court will stand in the big square outside. Even Xiao Mingxiu's face can't be seen clearly, so he is really not afraid of being recognized.

However, Xie Wanning's veiled hat was prepared for nothing, because no one in the whole town wore it, so it was even more difficult for her to be unconventional and become that eye-catching celebrity.

Xiao Mingxiu didn't care about these small details, but asked her: "I brought you here today, where do you want to go?"

Xie Wanning stood on tiptoe and looked into the town. Qingyun Town was the busiest during the few months that Yujia was here. Teahouses and taverns were buzzing with people. The government doesn't care about talking about resources.

Xie Wanning thought about it, but decided to follow her heart: "Why don't we go to the snack street first?"

Xiao Mingxiu sighed: "I knew it, you would definitely choose this place first."

He can't call himself "Zhen" when he is away from home. Xie Wanning suddenly heard him call himself "I", but it was a bit novel.

She followed Xiao Mingxiu into the town, and the people in her company passed by each other, which made the feeling even more special.

At first Qiuyun and Dongxue followed her conscientiously, but later they realized that they were always being watched by others, so they also backed away a little, and Xie Wanning started shopping with Xiao Mingxiu.

,all in

The Snack Street is a small road at the end of the market. You have to go through the market to go there, which adds three points of fun.

After entering the market, Xie Wanning couldn't turn her eyes. She stopped and walked, and when Xiao Mingxiu was not paying attention, she disappeared. She didn't know which stall she was standing in front of to watch carefully.

Xiao Mingxiu was a little helpless, and told Shen Yanlai in a low voice: "Look at Madam, don't make any surprises."

So Shen Yanlai followed Xie Wanning obediently, and gave Qiuyun and Dongxue another order.

Xie Wanning grew up so big, she was only taken to the market by her elder brother when she was a child, and as she got older, Xie's mother never allowed her to be unseemly anymore.

Therefore, her impression of the market is quite vague, and many things have never been seen before.For example, the soybean oil lamp in front of me has a pungent smell when it is lit, and it is very eye-catching, but the price is much cheaper than ordinary oil lamps, and many people buy it for home use.

Candles are also very expensive, and not every family can use them every day.

Xie Wanning asked the shopkeeper, "Can this lamp burn other oils?"

She pointed at the oil lamp delicately, and there were calluses on her hands left from doing embroidery work all the year round. The shopkeeper didn't think she was special, so she just smiled and said, "Madam can use any oil you want, wax oil is the best. When it is condensed into a block and put in, it is much brighter than a candle after being lit."

Xie Wanning nodded thoughtfully, because she looked at it for a long time and felt a little embarrassed, so she turned her head and told Qiu Yun, "Buy one and go home."

Xiao Mingxiu stood beside her and waited for her. Seeing her leave the stall, he said, "There's no need to buy a lamp at home."

Xie Wanning was stunned for a moment, and the heart in her chest jumped up uncontrollably again. She clenched her hand hidden under the cloak tightly, and it took a long time before she let go: "I have been asking for so long, it is too careless not to buy."

Xiao Mingxiu sighed, and became addicted to acting: "It's not easy for my husband to make money on weekdays, but I married a prodigal woman who spends money like water, so it's really sad for my husband."

Xie Wanning: ... How should I answer this?

Passers-by were hurrying on the main road, and she always felt that the people next to her had heard Xiao Mingxiu's words, and it took her a long time to figure out what to say.

"Master," Xie Wanning blushed, "let's hurry up and have dinner."

After finishing speaking, she grabbed his hand and headed towards the snack street.

Xiao Mingxiu smiled behind her, all the depression in the morning dissipated, and now there is only a sense of relief.

However, Xie Wanning walked quickly, and she was taken aback when she entered the snack street. She only saw that there were many shops inside and the street surface was full of pretense.Xie Wanning looked at all the eight major cuisines from east to west, north and south, which made her completely at a loss as to what to do.

The daughter of the boudoir who has never been to a restaurant since she was a child, can only turn to her master for help: "Master... Which one do you think is better?"

Xiao Mingxiu pretended to be serious: "Didn't Madam say she wanted to invite me? Why do I have to choose by myself?"

Xie Wanning had a bitter face, this time she was really at a loss, she didn't beg for mercy, she just stood there with her head down and said nothing.

She was like this, which made him more difficult to control than begging Xiao Mingxiu. Just seeing her standing there pitifully, Xiao Mingxiu didn't want to continue bullying: "Okay, let's go to Wangji at the street corner to buy shredded pork wontons in chicken soup, and then take them with you." Go eat at Mankouxiang next door."

Xie Wanning immediately raised her head and smiled sweetly at him: "Thank you, master."

Xiao Mingxiu nodded her nose: "You will fool me."

There are still quite a few people in Wangji Wonton Shop. The owner is a middle-aged couple. The two of them chat with customers while ironing wontons. It looks like a time-honored shop.

When the queue reached Xiao Mingxiu's place, the boss recognized him with sharp eyes: "Oh, boss Lu, are you here for business again this year?"

It's not that the boss has a good memory, but that Xiao Mingxiu is so handsome and eye-catching. He eats wontons and gossips at their house every year, and the money they give is ample, so the boss naturally remembers him.

Xiao Mingxiu smiled kindly: "Yeah, taking advantage of Yujia's presence, I can earn a living for a year."

Boss Wang was also very happy. He cooked wontons swiftly, and his hands were very busy.On the contrary, the proprietress' eyes were sharp, and she saw Xie Wanning who was following Xiao Mingxiu at a glance, and she looked over lightly, and knew that this was definitely not a messy concubine's concubine.

The proprietress smiled and said, "Oh, Boss Lu, are you married and bringing your wife to play together?"

Xiao Mingxiu looked back at Xie Wanning, and gently took her hand: "We have been married for many years, and this year I specially took her out to relax."
