Xiao Yanyue had never shown any need for anything. She suddenly asked for two unsightly cotton-padded clothes, which was really unexpected by Shen Xingmian.

He is not a person who is overflowing with sympathy. He saw many poor people along the way, but he didn't say a word, except this time.

Could it be that he knew the woman selling cotton clothes?

Who else in this world is related to him? Could it be that they are the Crown Princess’s natal family?

I heard from my mother that the Crown Princess's father was the Minister of Rites. Although he didn't have much real power, he was from a very prestigious noble family in Beijing.

Later, he was framed and while his family was running for him, he committed suicide in prison...

When something happened to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, her family members all disappeared in the capital, and not even a single one of them was seen in the exile team, which was quite strange.

Could it be that……

Shen Xingmian asked tentatively: "Do you want to buy the knife yourself, or do you need me to accompany you?"

She was afraid that he would need to talk to that person alone, so she thoughtfully prepared to go elsewhere and wait. Just as she was about to take a step, she heard Xiao Yanyue say, "Of course we are together. I don't need to avoid anything that happens to me." open."

Well, okay, in that case, she just followed it calmly.

She quietly observed Xiao Yanyue, wanting to see if his expression would change significantly. After all, there were not many people related to him left in the world.

But no.

Xiao Yanyue was no different from usual. When talking to that person, she didn't look like she knew him before. Even when she bought a cotton-padded jacket, she didn't give him any more money.

Just like an ordinary buyer.

Shen Xingmian didn't notice anything wrong until he followed him away and continued walking forward.

If I didn't know him very well, I might have thought that he just liked that ordinary cotton-padded jacket.

But how is it possible.

There was no shortage of clothes for him at home, and he was given two sets of thermal underwear. He would only like this kind of tacky style if he was crazy.

However, Shen Xingmian did not ask further questions, but continued walking forward as if nothing had happened, looking at the small stall next to him from time to time.

Although she has many gold and jade hair accessories in her space, when she usually goes out in a low-key manner, wooden hairpins are more suitable.

She then set her sights on a small hair accessories stall on the roadside, hoping to find one with a more unique style, but after looking around, she still thought it was ordinary.

In the end, I stopped looking forward.

The next step was to leave the city. Outside the city were some villagers who came to sell things. Shen Xingmian thought they were all radish and cabbage. After all, the storage methods here were relatively backward, and there was no way there would be anything new.

As a result, I actually found someone selling frozen pears.

It's amazing, it turns out that someone already knew about frozen pears at such an early time.

She quickly dragged Xiao Yanyue to the unattended stall, pointed at the basket and asked the stall owner: "Auntie, how do you sell these frozen pears?"

The gray-haired lady had been waiting here for a long time, but not a single pear was sold. When someone finally asked, she immediately said excitedly: "One penny per catty, and I can give you more!"

Shen Xingmian was simply shocked. This was too cheap. It was almost as expensive as the 1980s. Buy it!

"Okay, I want all this basket. I'll give you a few extra cents and give me the basket as well." Shen Xingmian said cheerfully.

In fact, she didn't need to buy frozen pears if she wanted to eat them. She could ripen them easily in the space, but it was a rare chance that she happened to meet them, and her desire to shop had reached its peak at this moment.

She felt really uncomfortable if she didn't spend this little money.

But just as she was getting excited, a female voice suddenly came from beside her: "These pears are frozen and can't be eaten at all. You, an old woman, tricked an ignorant girl into buying them. It's really unethical!"

Seeing that the eyes of the people around her were attracted by these words, the aunt suddenly felt so ashamed that she wished she didn't even want the basket and left here quickly.

If it weren't for the fact that the family couldn't open the pot, she wouldn't have thought of walking such a long mountain road to carry out the frozen pears.

At this moment, being stared at by everyone's condemning eyes, the aunt shed tears.

She, a village woman from the mountains with little experience, had never seen such a big battle.

If other people in the village saw this, she would hang herself when she went back. Otherwise, how would she live if she was poked in the spine and scolded every day...

She opened her mouth to defend herself, but she didn't know what to say.

What she did was wrong, and she got excited by patronizing it. She never thought about how the little girl would be scolded by her family if she bought a basket of bad pears.

She lowered her head, leaned over silently, and wanted to put the pear basket on her back and take it home.

Even if I can't exchange for copper coins, I can still make do with what I have to eat, so that my grandson won't starve to death.

Ugh.

Shen Xingmian was about to explain to her that she was the one who wanted to buy it, so she tried to trick her, but her arm was grabbed by the little girl who was speaking.

The little girl wore a cloak made of rabbit fur. It was pure white and stood out among all the gray coats.

There was also a little maid accompanying her, who looked like a charming young lady from a wealthy family.

Shen Xingmian was a little confused for a moment. In such a remote place, there was actually a rich lady? And he is willing to draw his sword to help when the road is rough.

It looks pretty good.

only……

She quickly spoke: "This girl has misunderstood. I originally took a fancy to the frozen pears and took the initiative to buy them. The price this aunt asked for was very low, and there was no such thing as 'cheating'."

Hearing this, the aunt looked up at her in disbelief, wiping the tears on her face with her sleeves, her eyes full of excitement and gratitude.

Shen Xingmian smiled reassuringly at her and explained to the onlookers: "After these pears are frozen, soak them in cold water and slowly melt. After biting the skin, there is sweet juice inside. Very delicious.”

She took out a few dark pears from the pear basket, stuffed one into the hands of those who were closer, and said enthusiastically: "If you don't believe it, you can go back and try it for yourself. It's really delicious."

After speaking, he weighed the basket in his hand, estimated the weight, and found more than twenty copper coins for the aunt. He explained in a warm voice: "The aunt must know this way of eating pears, and that's why she came out to sell pears. Everyone, please leave." Come on, it’s so cold.”

After doing this, she saw that the little girl who spoke uprightly had not left yet. She thought she didn't believe that the frozen pears were delicious, so she said enthusiastically: "Thank you very much for your uprightness, girl. Do you want to take a pear back and try it?"

She had already stretched out her hand holding the frozen pear, but someone waved it away.

"Who wants to eat your broken pears? My girl is kind enough to help you, but you don't know how to use such a pile of broken things as a treasure.

Look at your poor appearance, don't get involved with my lady! "
