Chapter 89 He Xichen and Pu Zixuan (1)
In a clothing appraisal shop at the market in Guiping County, Pu Zixuan was lying bored on a bench, yawning for the sky.
He stared at the bustling crowds of people in the long street market, watching people busy themselves, talking and laughing, and occasionally glanced at Chen Shuqing in the shop, muttering in his mouth: "Why haven't my eldest lady chosen yet?"
Chen Shuqing was looking at the clothes displayed by the boss's wife with relish, from jackets to cheongsams, from mattes to cloaks, and looked at them and picked them again and again. She was just unable to make up her mind when she heard Pu Zixuan complaining, and said, "Oh, why are you so impatient? I agreed to come to Guiping and choose a beautiful set of clothes for me first! I have only seen them for less than half an hour, so why has it been delayed for your precious time?"
Pu Zixuan sighed softly: "Oh, no wonder people say that they should not accompany women to go shopping, especially cloth shops and clothes shops. Otherwise, your man will suffer..."
Chen Shuqing was unhappy: "Huh! Why? You used to have so many flowers and plants, but you didn't have to accompany you to walk around?"
"At that time... I was all around me, so how could I revolve around women? Alas, I thought you could create all kinds of clothes and choose clothes so that you wouldn't be so stubborn. Unexpectedly... Oh, I've experienced the sorrow of men!"
Chen Shuqing saw Pu Zixuan's pitiful and cute appearance and laughed: "That's different. The clothes you make are devoured. And if you are accidentally purified, you will be embarrassed. Besides, I have been in the mountains for decades and my vision is out of date. I just want to come to the city to study and learn the current styles. Look, the laces and teeth on this jacket are new, how beautiful!"
Pu Zixuan said disdainfully: "Haha, do you know where these clothes come from? The clothes in the appraisal shop are all worn out by the dignitaries and no longer want them, so they will be sent here to sell them to those poor people who love beauty but cannot afford clothes. I have lived for so many years and have never bought a piece of clothing in the appraisal shop. I don't want the second-hand ones!"
Chen Shuqing said: "You don't understand this, right? New and old have no meaning to me. As long as I like the style, I can turn the old into new ones. Also, don't always think that you are wasting your time. Only with such a beautiful woman who wants you to accompany you can cherish this time."
"Okay, okay, choose slowly, and call me if you choose." Pu Zixuan was too lazy to continue speaking, so he simply crossed his hands, placed them under his head, closed his eyes, and prepared to take a nap.
"Oh, OK, okay, look at you, I'll choose this one red one." After saying that, Chen Shuqing twisted a rose-red cloak and shouted at the boss's wife in the inner room: "Boss wife, I'll choose it, how much does this one cost?"
Before the boss's wife could answer, a young woman came into the clothes shop and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, hey, wait a moment, I've booked this dress seven days ago!"
Pu Zixuan looked at the woman and saw that the woman was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with white teeth and bright eyes, and her eyebrows were picturesque. Although she had not completely lost her childishness, it really made people feel comfortable.
The woman is nothing but He Xichen, who had previously investigated the Qin Yong case on the mountain road.
After hearing this, Chen Shuqing felt a little confused when she was originally calm and replied, "Why is it such a coincidence? I chose it for a long time and finally decided on one. Do you think it is yours? "
He Xichen emphasized and said, "What? Don't you believe it? Don't you believe it, ask the boss lady."
The boss's wife had arrived when she heard the sound. After looking at the cloak in Chen Shuqing's hand, she immediately blamed herself: "Oh, it's all my fault, it's all my fault... This clothes were indeed customized by this little girl with fabrics seven days ago. I was so old that I was not careful that I actually carried it out with the old clothes. Big girl, sorry, I hope you choose something else."
"I said, this cloak is so new, who can sell it as an old one?" Chen Shuqing was excited, "But unfortunately, I just like this one. Otherwise, my little sister, please quote a price and I will buy it with you."
He Xichen nodded and said, "That's not possible. I will hold a hydrangea throwing balls in the city the day after tomorrow. This dress was specially prepared for myself."
Chen Shuqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Ah? Recruiting a kimono? Recruiting a kimono for yourself?"
"Yes, can't it?"
The boss's wife quickly agreed, "This girl is indeed going to invite a bride. There are announcements posted on the streets in many places."
When Pu Zixuan heard this, he thought, "Although this Xiaojiu has lived for more than a hundred years, if he hadn't accompanied her to go shopping and buy clothes, he would have really no idea that the girls on her are not inferior to others. He suddenly felt that Chen Shuqing became more and more cute. But after all, he came to persuade him: "Oh, since it was indeed customized by someone else's little girl, let's not take away what people love. Otherwise, you choose one again? Or, find the boss lady to customize one exactly the same one?"
He Xichen said happily: "Brother, you are such a great person!"
Seeing this, Chen Shuqing lost interest and threw the clothes back to the boss's wife: "Forget it, no, I don't want to go to the street the next day when I go to the street. Let's go and have a look elsewhere."
Pu Zixuan said with relief: "That's right. I saw a family selling candied haws there. Let's go and try it."
When the two left, He Xichen took out a string of copper coins and put them on the counter: "Come on, aunt, count them."
After the delivery was completed, another middle-aged man rushed to the clothes appraisal shop. When he saw He Xichen, he cried and said: "Oh, my eldest lady, I have found you. Come back with me!"
The person who came was Lin Huinan. He stayed in Guiping for seven days with He Xichen. He thought that the girl was just on a whim and wanted to come to Guiping for two days. After they negotiated with Zhu Shihua, the leader of the Fairy Sword Hall, they rushed back to Guilin. However, Zhu Shihua went out to practice and had never returned. Miss He decided to marry herself in Guiping, and used the method of "throwing hydrangea balls to attract brides". But she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, hoping to carry this willful lady back.
When He Xichen saw Lin Huinan, he said unhappy: "Oh, Uncle Lin, we have already found out the truth, and we have also sent it back with my father by sending a letter to him. Master Zhu went out to practice and would come back in two days. When everything is done, I will go back with you. Today is a good day. Can you stop bothering me?"
Lin Huinan said with a frown: "If Master He agreed to your idea, I wouldn't bother to worry about this! But this morning, your father sent a message to me, saying that going to Guiping is a little bit, but he firmly opposed you who ordered the marriage in Guiping. It's not that I told you that marriage is the most important thing in everyone's life. You must respect the order of your parents, how can you be regarded as a joke?"
He Xichen said back, "Am I a human? Is he really my dad?"
Lin Huinan was so angry that her face flushed: "You...you are so willful! Do you know, who will catch your hydrangea ball when it is thrown out? Is it a friend? An enemy? Is it a scholarly family? Or a Xialiba? If it is not a good match, your life will be over!"
"That's the rule set by you humans. You have to be a good match for everything. I don't value these at all. There are so many rules and regulations, so I'm so annoying! For me, the most important thing I meet and like is fate! Before the fate comes, it's in vain to follow the Heavenly King. If the fate comes, it's just for me to let him and I have a lifelong man farming and weaving, so why not?"
"Then why do you insist on choosing to get married in Guiping? This is not our territory. If you are bullied, who will protect you?" Lin Huinan sighed and said with retreating, "How about this, you go back with me first. Let's persuade Mr. He to hold a grand competition for you to recruit brides in Guilin. How about it?"
"I don't want it!" He Xichen pouted, "I just want to get married in Guiping, and no one of you can care about it!"
Lin Huinan shook her head helplessly: "I don't know, why Master He has spoiled you like this? What a pity, my polar phantom can only trace the past, but cannot foresee the future. If I had known that you had such a trick in Guiping, I would see how Master He would deal with you!"
"Are you finished? After that, I'm going to go back to the inn. I've been waiting for this new dress for seven days, and I'm going back to try it." After He Xichen said that, he walked straight to the street.
"Miss, I'm sorry." Before Lin Huinan finished speaking, she had already put his hands on He Xichen's slender waist. With one force, she carried the light He Xichen on her shoulder and walked out of the street.
He Xichen shouted, "You, you! Let me down quickly! How could you treat me like this?"
"You forced me, Miss." Lin Huinan said without compromise, "President He wants me to take you back. My uncle Lin even borrowed ten more courages and dared not disobey the order. If you offend you, Uncle Lin will apologize to you after he goes back, right?"
While pounding Lin Huinan's back, He Xichen shouted around: "Help! Someone is forcing the girl in broad daylight to rob her, who will save me?"
The originally peaceful market street suddenly became noisy because of this disturbance. Passers-by retreated to both sides and began to watch. Seeing Lin Huinan's aggressive appearance, they did not dare to step forward, and they all pointed.
"Look, these robbers are getting more and more courageous. They dare to steal people in broad daylight!"
"That's right, look at this girl, she's so young, so pitiful!"
"You guys say, why does this girl look familiar? Could it be that He who wants to recruit a kiss... He?
"Yes, yes, it's her. It seems she is from Guilin, and her name is He Xichen."
"Oh, these days, I am so beautiful, and I dare to post myself openly. It would be strange if I don't attract robbers?"
"Pity, pitiful."
“…”
Soon, Lin Huinan had already carried He Xichen to the vicinity of Pu Zixuan and the others.
Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing each held a string of candied haws. When they heard the cry for help, they immediately turned around. Seeing this, they were shocked.
Chen Shuqing was surprised and said, "Hey, isn't this the girl in the clothes shop just now? Look at the red dress in her hand."
Pu Zixuan said, "Haha, it's so interesting." After that, he flew forward and used a sweeping leg to attack Lin Huinan.
Lin Huinan was carrying a woman, and she was already struggling and caught off guard. She was tripped up by a dog to eat shit.
He Xichen took the opportunity to break free from Lin Huinan and ran to Pu Zixuan: "It's you? That's great! Brother, please save me quickly."
Lin Huinan got up and shouted angrily: "Who are you?"
