Hua Manman twitched the corners of his mouth, smiling on the surface.

"Your statement is wrong. I am a man, and if I want to marry, I will marry someone else."

Li Ji is kind and honest.

"The reverse is also the same. If you don't believe me, you can ask me."

Hearing this, Hua Manman had the idea of ​​teasing the other party, and deliberately asked in a malicious tone.

"I wonder if the prince is willing to marry me?"

Any big man should feel humiliated when asked such a question by another man.

Hua Manman waited to see the picture of the Prince Regent becoming angry from embarrassment.

But she didn't expect that the next moment she saw the corner of the man's lips slightly curled up, his voice was full of joy.

"OK."

Hua Manman: "..."

Li Ji stepped forward, stared at her with lowered eyes, and asked in a low voice.

"How much dowry do you plan to offer?"

Hua Manman was stunned.

Why can the other party accept the setting of getting married so naturally?

What about his dignity and pride as the dignified regent?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Li Ji was not angry, but still smiled lightly, looking in a very good mood.

"Even if there is no betrothal gift, it doesn't matter. I don't want to do this. As long as you treat me well, I will be satisfied."

Hua Manman was made uncomfortable by the other party's sticky attitude.

"It was just a joke just now, why did the prince take it seriously?"

After she finished speaking, she deliberately laughed twice.

At this time the shopkeeper came back.

He handed the packed cloth to Li Ji.

After Li Ji paid the money, he took Hua Manman and Li Xun away from the silk and satin village.

Ban Ren had been waiting at the door, and when he saw the Prince Regent's father and son and the eldest son coming out, he immediately went up to meet them.

Li Ji handed over the packed cloth in his hand.

But Ban Ren was still carrying two big boxes of makeup and powder, plus a big bag of fabric, so he couldn't help feeling a little heavy.

Seeing this, Hua Manman's heart skipped a beat.

She suggested: "You can send these things back to the carriage first, let's go to the teahouse opposite to rest for a while, and wait for you by the way."

Ban Ren said in a muffled voice.

"It's okay, this subordinate can move."

Hua Manman: "But we have to go shopping for a long time. You can't hold these things all the time, can you? If we buy other things later, you won't be able to spare your hand to help them."

Ban Ren still didn't move.

Although he is not as quick-witted as Mr. Du, he is not stupid.

Along the way, Shizi always tried every means to escape.

Ban Ren was very worried that Shi Ziye would run away again.

He had to follow Shizi closely.

Hua Manman guessed what the other party was thinking, leaned over and said in a low voice.

"Are you still afraid that I won't be able to escape?

I am now with the Prince Regent.

Even if you leave temporarily, there is still the regent.

He is such a powerful person, how could I slip away from under his nose?

If I really have such a powerful ability, I won't be looked down upon by you along the way. "

Ban Ren thought for a while, and felt that what she said was not unreasonable.

The thing in his hand was really in the way, it was quite close from here to the place where the carriage was parked, if he walked faster, he could go back and forth in less than a cup of tea.

So Ban Ren accepted Shizi's proposal.

He personally sent the eldest son and the regent father and son into the opposite teahouse.

After making sure that the three of them had sat down and ordered, Ban Ren left with a lot of things.

Almost as soon as Ban Ren left, Hua Manman stood up on the back.

Li Ji and Li Xun looked at her at the same time.

Hua Manman said with a smile.

"I saw someone selling oranges on the street just now. Those oranges look quite sweet. I want to buy two catties. You just sit here and don't move. I'll be back soon."

After speaking, she walked out quickly.

Li Xun didn't want to be separated from his mother.

He stood up and wanted to follow, but was stopped by his father.

Li Ji: "Your mother told you not to move, you have to listen to your mother."

Probably because of being separated from his mother since he was a child, Li Xun was extremely insecure, even if he was only separated from his mother for a while, he still felt restless, for fear that his mother would leave him again.

This is the case at this time.

Li Xun's little butt was twisting and turning on the stool, his legs were constantly changing positions under the table, his neck was stretched out, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the door, and he muttered in a low voice.

"Why didn't mother come back?"

At this time, the refreshments have been served, the hot tea is steaming, and the fresh pastries exude a strong sweet fragrance.

However, Li Xun didn't even think about tasting it.

He just wanted his mother to come back quickly.

Li Ji picked up the teacup, gently stroked the wall of the cup with his slender fingers, and said slowly.

"Don't worry, she can't escape."

...

After leaving the teahouse, Hua Manman immediately quickened his pace and ran into the silk shop across the street.

The shopkeeper of the silk and satin village still remembered her, and immediately became nervous when he saw her appear.

Afraid that the other party came to return the goods, he said hastily.

"Our store operates on a small budget, and the goods sold will not be returned or exchanged."

Hua Manman: "You misunderstood, I want to buy another set of clothes."

Only then did the shopkeeper feel relieved, and began to introduce her eagerly.

"This is a cross-neck gown just made by our tailor. It is very suitable for a handsome man like you. If you like it, you can try it. If the size is not suitable, we can change it for you on the spot..."

Hua Manman interrupted him.

"Is there no other style?"

The shopkeeper immediately said: "Yes, there are, we still have many styles, as long as it is a popular style of clothes, we have everything here!"

He walked in with Hua Manman, pointing to a whole wall of samples and said.

"These styles are all bestsellers in the store, and the gentlemen in Beijing like them very much. Do you have any favorites?"

Hua Manman frowned: "Why are they all men's clothing? Don't you sell women's clothing in your store?"

A question mark appeared on the shopkeeper's forehead.

Hua Manman: "I want to buy women's clothing."

She noticed that the shopkeeper's eyes gradually became subtle, knowing that the other party had misunderstood, she hurriedly explained.

"I bought it for my twin sister."

Only then did the shopkeeper's expression become normal.

He suddenly said: "That's right, you come with me, the women's clothes are all hanging on the other side."

Hua Manman used the excuse of buying clothes for the twin sister to try on the upper body herself. After confirming that the size was all right, she paid for the clothes on the spot.

The shopkeeper handed over the packed clothes in a warm and authentic manner.

"Welcome to visit us next time."

Hua Manman pretended to have an upset stomach, and said with a bitter face.

"I seem to have a bad stomach, can I borrow your toilet?"

The other party bought a lot of things in the silk and satin shop in one go, and he was a rare big customer. Naturally, the shopkeeper had to take good care of him, so he immediately called a clerk and asked the clerk to take the customer to the toilet.

After finding the toilet, Hua Manman said to the assistant.

"Go and do your work, I know how to go."

The guy was really busy, so he turned around and left without thinking about it.
