happy rebirth

Chapter 162

On the holidays, Ke Qi took half a day off and took Xie Jinhua to the streets to play together.

The weather is already cold, and people are wearing thin jackets.Fortunately, the sun has been very good these days, which is really suitable for shopping.

The couple usually live in the Qingyang Hou's Mansion, and the mansion has all the daily necessities, so there is nothing special to buy.They just want to walk down the street together, even if it's a small date.They wore the same style of clothes and looked like a couple.

The capital city was still as lively as ever.

Seeing someone selling candied haws, Ke Qi smiled and said, "Brother Xie, do you want to eat that... If you want to eat, I'll buy it for you."

Xie Jinhua replied in a low voice: "Who is eating while walking on the street..." Before the end of his words fell, two or three boys ran past him holding candied haws and cheering.Xie Jinhua quickly changed his words and said, "How can an adult eat while walking on the street?"

This makes sense.Ke Qi dragged Xie Jinhua to the stalls on both sides of the street.

There are actually several squares in the capital.Some square markets are particularly high-end, and they are engaged in the business of high-ranking officials;The street that the couple visited today is considered to be a medium-sized street. The real rich people will not come here to play, but both sides of the street are well cleaned up.Such a street is actually the most pyrotechnic, and it is always lively from the street to the end of the street.

The stall Ke Qi chose was a sugar seller.Ke Qi from later generations always finds it very strange when he sees sugar figurines. After all, there are fewer and fewer craftsmen in later generations, and sugar figurines can apply for cultural heritage protection.Xie Jinhua, who doesn't go out very much, also feels very strange when he sees the sugar man. After all, he was in poor health when he was young, and he rarely ate outside food. Even if Xie Er and the others wanted to open his eyes, they would only bring toys and rarely food. .

Besides, the sugar figurines that Xie Er brought home could only be finished products. Xie Jinhua had never seen the sugar figurines being made!

As a result, the couple looked like a pair of ignorant country bumpkins, watching helplessly as the stall owner hooked a horse with syrup.That horse was what a little boy wanted, and he got it, and ran off happily.Xie Jinhua swallowed, and said, "Li Yang definitely wants a cat."

"Maybe Li Yang still wants a dog." Ke Qi said with a smile.

Xie Jinhua said to the stall owner: "Old man, please make a cat and make it bigger, as big as the horse just now."

Sugar stall owner: "..."

Ke Qi counted out the copper coins from his purse, and by the way asked the stall owner to make another dog.Cats and dogs are common animals, and stall owners often make them, and they are done quickly.Xie Jinhua turned his head and waved to Li Yang, who was tens of meters away, and the honest Li Yang trotted to the two masters immediately.

Xie Jinhua stuffed the cat and the dog into Li Yang's hands and said, "Take it."

"You are not allowed to steal it, you have to take it home." Xie Jinhua thought for a while, and added, "If you want to eat it, I will ask the stall owner to make you a... um, let me make you a pig. "The pig's belly is relatively round, so it must be too much syrup. Li Yang has such a good appetite, he has to eat a fat pig."

Li Yangxin said that if he had known earlier, he would not rush to go out today, this kind of errand should be done by Li Sang.

After leaving the sugar man's stand, the couple went to the dough man's stand again.Dough figurines are more expensive than sugar figurines because the process of making dough figurines is more complicated.When the couple approached, the noodle stall owner was pinching Chang'e for a little girl.Ke Qi asked Xie Jinhua in a low voice: "Let's let the stall owner pinch you...it's so small that I can put it in my purse, and then when I go to work in the yamen, I can carry you in my pocket or in my arms. "

Xie Jinhua's eyes lit up, and he said, "So I can pinch you too!"

Miss Ke and Miss Xie looked at each other, and pink bubbles began to appear between the husband and wife.Li Yang silently covered his eyes.

Xie Jinhua suddenly shook his head again and said, "Actually, that's not a good idea either. I'd rather carry your annotated book with me than a face mask." He didn't value Ke Di's skin, so there was no need to bring a similar one. Put small things on your body.What he values ​​is obviously Ke Di's soul!

The owner of the noodle stall: "..." So you stand in front of my stall just to make trouble?

Because he didn't plan to be a noodle maker anymore, Xie Jinhua seemed a little sorry, and called Li Yang who had retreated more than ten meters away again.He pointed to the stall owner opposite Li Yang and said, "Old man, you can make him a general with a big sword according to his body shape. Hey, he likes this the most."

Li Yang was immediately happy.This big man is also very coaxing.

Leaving Li Yang at the noodle stall, the couple went on to the next stall.

There were more and more pedestrians on the road, and the couple was afraid of being crowded out, and they were too embarrassed to hold hands in public—mainly Xie Jinhua was embarrassed—Ke Qi gave Xie Jinhua his sleeve and asked him to hold it own sleeve.Xie Jinhua didn't know what he was thinking, so he couldn't help laughing, and said to Ke Qi: "Brother Ke, where do you think Li Yang will put the noodle man? I dare say, he will definitely put it by the bedside."

"He wants to dream of a heroic hero?" Ke Qi asked.

Xie Jinhua shook his head: "This is Li Yang's secret. I'll tell you secretly, you must not reveal your secrets. Li Yang...don't look at his big size, but he is actually afraid of ghosts. So, when he was on duty before , he insists on staying at our feet. He will definitely use dough to sleep on the bed."

"...Unexpected." Ke Qi, who wanted to send Li Yang to join the army, said so.

"Everyone has something to be afraid of. When I was the size of a mooncake, I once heard people talk about their mouths. One said that there were mice in their house, and when they slept at night, the mice would step on their faces. One person said that a relative in his family had his heel bitten by a mouse." Xie Jinhua talked about the past, and he was happy when he talked, "I didn't dare to sleep that night, so I had to light the lamp. .”

Someone pushed a cart past the couple, and there were many dirty bags piled up on the cart.Ke Qi consciously hid Xie Jinhua behind him, so that the car did not touch Xie Jinhua.He smiled and said, "Are you ever afraid of mice? This is the most unusual thing in the world."

"What's so strange about that? I don't believe you have nothing to fear."

"That's not what I mean...I mean, how can a cat like you be afraid of mice?" Ke Qi said.

Xie Maoyao finally understood that Ke Qi was joking.He thought for a while, and replied, "If I'm really a cat demon, I'll have to force you to give birth to a bunch of flowers for me!" Xie Jinhua didn't want his words to be heard by people on the street, so he almost It was biting the tip of Ke Qi's ear.

Tanhua and Liuyuan talked nonsense, and walked to a stall selling folding fans.Selling folding fans in winter, this stall owner is also interesting.Take a closer look, in fact, the stall owner not only sells folding fans, but also sells some woodcarved jewelry.This kind of jewelry sells cheaply, a simple hairpin costs only three to five pennies, and the more complicated ones only sell for a dozen pennies, which is affordable by ordinary people.Therefore, the business at this stall is not bad.

The wooden folding fan is very delicate, and the hollow lines on it are particularly brilliant.Ke Qi took one casually and wanted to show off his elegance, but Xie Jinhua suddenly looked at the wonton stand on the other side, and said excitedly: "Brother Ke, are you tired from walking, why don't we sit down and eat a bowl of wontons."

Ke Qi counted out the copper coins and handed them to the stall owner, took the fan and left.

The owners of the wonton stand are a pair of old men.Xie Jinhua took Ke Qi to find a corner to do it, and whispered to Ke Qi: "They are all over 60 years old! I heard that they are like us, they formed a contract at the age of 14, and they have never left them these years. Now It’s a safe life.”

Ke Qi suddenly understood that coming to this stall to eat a bowl of wontons was probably the main purpose of Xie Jinhua's going out today.

I don't know where Xie Jinhua heard the story. It is said that one of the two stall owners has a limp and is sitting in front of the pot watching the fire, and the other got a serious illness when he was ten years old and suddenly became dumb. , When greeting guests, they gesture with their hands.Ke Qi couldn't help looking at the two old men. The dumb old man had just finished delivering a table of wontons. The lame old man called him to him, and then wiped the dumb old man's sweat with a handkerchief.

At that moment, there were fireworks in the world, and the years were quiet.

Xie Jinhua secretly took Ke Qi's hand under the table, his wide sleeves covered their movements.The couple looked at each other and smiled, obviously they didn't say anything, but they seemed to have said everything.Li Yang had already caught up and chose a table far away from the master with discernment.

The wontons are delicious.But the couple had eaten before going out, so they only ordered a bowl.

By the time the couple had finished eating, there were already four empty bowls piled up on Li Yang's table.

He can eat such hot wontons so quickly!So, if you want to take care of the stall owner's business, you only need to bring Li Yang with you.Xie Jinhua estimated Li Yang's usual appetite, and thought he could eat two more bowls.The taste of wontons is really good, Li Yang decided to eat them often in the future.

"Thank you Liuyuan." A child called out to Xie Jinhua.

The couple looked back and saw Li Chang, the eldest son of Prince De's family, and Li Xu, the second son.They were about to stand up and salute, but they saw that Shizi shook his head slightly, even the second young master, who had always been jumping off, looked steady, so they just cupped their hands and said: "Eldest young master, second young master."

The eldest son and the second son also brought a little girl with them. She is not very old, but she has a good appearance and looks extremely cute.This little girl should be the one who called Xie Jinhua to Xie Liuyuan just now.But Ke Qi couldn't guess her identity.There is indeed a princess in Prince De's family, but the princess is much older than this little girl.Could it be a girl from the Ding family?But can the girls of Ding's family recognize Xie Jinhua on the street?

Xie Jinhua was also thinking about the identity of the little girl.Suddenly, he didn't know what to think of, and his eyes widened.

The little girl said unhappily: "Xie Liuyuan can't recognize Ben...cough cough, I'm here?"

Now the only child who can call himself the king is the little grandson in the prince's east palace.Xie Jinhua knew that he couldn't call his grandson's identity on the street, so he just said respectfully: "I didn't expect to meet you on the street today." Who came up with the idea to dress up the grandson as a little girl.

Of course, the only one who came up with this idea was Princess De.

The prince is thinking very openly now, and he has already made preparations not to be a prince, so he indulged a lot with his only son.The little grandson used to be confined to study and practice rituals every day, but now he is climbing trees and catching birds all over the palace.In this way, the child's body is much healthier.When the prince chatted with the emperor in private, he also mentioned this matter, only saying that the grandson must not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of the world, and his health was not good before.

The emperor probably felt that the prince's words made sense, and the little grandson was more free.

From birth to now, the grandson has never been out of the palace.The poor child suddenly wanted to go out of the palace to have a look.The little grandson didn't beg others, but begged Li Xu to take him out of the palace every day.How could Li Xu dare to accept this matter, he hid his grandson in the palace and left.Even if the grandson is out of the palace, there will definitely be many people wearing plain clothes to protect him, but the grandson's identity is special after all, and now there are many people watching the East Palace. If something happens to the grandson, who can take the responsibility?

Princess Deqin and Concubine Shu bit their ears, and Concubine Shu told the emperor that if the young grandson changed into women's clothing, she would not be eye-catching after leaving the palace.

Who would have thought that the dignified little grandson would be dressed as a little girl?Concubine Shu actually didn't point out that Emperor Kairui could really agree, but Emperor Kairui agreed, and watched the whole process of the little grandson changing into women's clothes, and then laughed uncontrollably with the prince.The bad taste of adults!

After the emperor's grandson left the palace, everything he saw felt fresh.The trees in the palace are all short - the tall canopy can hide people, and if an assassin comes, it will provide convenience for the assassin - the tree outside is so tall!Only a few men in the palace had beards—of course the eunuchs didn’t grow beards—almost all the men outside had beards!The grandson of the emperor is really playing crazy today.Then he met Koshevoff.

That's how the dating duo became a fivesome with a baby.

The little emperor's grandson held his elder cousin with one hand and Xie Jinhua with the other, and walked forward bouncingly.Ke Qi followed behind full of resentment, Li Xu and Ke Qi walked side by side.It is rare for Li Xu, who likes fancy clothes and ornaments the most, not to look like a peacock today, because his family told him to keep a low profile.

Li Xu saw the folding fan in Ke Qi's hand, took it over and looked at it carefully, and said, "Did you just buy this?"

"Well, I passed a stall ahead, and I thought this fan was pretty good, so I bought one." Ke Qi said.

Li Xu looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Of course the craftsmanship is good. This fan was made by my father."

Ke Qi: "..."

What kind of spirit does Prince De use to carve things with cheap wood when he has nothing to do, and then order his servants to come out and set up stalls?Li Xu explained: "My father, the king... sometimes takes my mother to pretend to be a stall. Have you heard of Ding Ermazi and the woodcarving Xi Shi? They are them."

Ke Qi: "..."

Prince De disguised as an ugly man with a pockmarked face, and set up a stall with the princess who was still beautiful even after disguise. What kind of bad taste is this?

The little grandson let go of Xie Jinhua's hand, pointed to a brown dog on the side of the road, and said excitedly: "Look, that dog looks... different from the dog at home. Why is the dog's tail so fluffy? Come on, let's get closer and have a look!" The dog was tied under a tree with a rope.This is a stall selling wild game. The stall owner is probably a hunter who is good at catching alive. There are several half-dead prey tied to the stall.

Shizi didn't let the little grandson get too close to the dog, but let him stand not far away and watch.

The little grandson said curiously: "Xie... Xie, this dog doesn't like to bark, it has never barked." He originally wanted to call Xie Jinhua Xie Liuyuan, but he was told just now, it's best not to come here The crowd called out their identities as a group, so after a moment of hesitation, they called out thank you.

Xie Jinhua thought for a while, and said: "Our personalities are different, so dogs should be the same, right? I think some dogs are born not to bark. What's more, this dog wants to accompany its owner. Those who go hunting in the mountains are naturally well-trained, let alone know how to bark."

The little grandson nodded thoughtfully: "You know a lot. Then why is its tail more beautiful than ordinary dogs?"

Xie Jinhua thought for a while, and then said: "People are the same, some people are beautiful, and some people are mediocre. Isn't that right, Brother Ke?"

Ke Qi said very calmly: "Brother Xie is right. This dog doesn't like to bark. It may be because of its natural temperament, or it may be because of its well-trained. The reason why its tail is so fluffy may be She is born beautiful and hard to give up. However, it is more likely that..."

Both Xie Jinhua and the little grandson looked at Ke Qi seriously, pretending to be listening attentively.Both of them looked very cute.

"...It's not a dog. It's a fox." Ke Qi said with a smile.

The stall owner has caught a live fox and plans to sell it, is that a problem?no problem.
