Fu Yuanxiao looked left and right. There were many people selling stalls on the street, and it was even busier than usual.
Baozhu followed Fu Yuanxiao and said while looking at the vendors on both sides of the street: "Girl, today is a market day, so it is quite lively. You should be careful and don't let anyone touch you."
"I know." Fu Yuanxiao saw the bird seller from a distance. She ran over curiously, squatted down in front of the vendor, and looked at the small bird, which was a little bigger. It was fluffy and cute.
She pointed to the yellow downed bird and asked, "How much money is this bird?"
The vendor was startled when he heard the little bird. He lowered his head to look at the chick, which had just hatched out of its shell and was fluffy. He then raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him. She was wearing silk and satin and had no shortage of gold and silver jewelry.
At first glance, she looks like the daughter of a wealthy family, so it's normal that she doesn't know poultry.
It’s almost impossible to open the pot at home, and it’s the same thing if you sell it as a bird.
"Five cents each."
When Fu Yuanxiao heard that five cents was too cheap, she pointed at the cute little birds inside and said, "I want ten of them. I also want the little bamboo basket next to you."
The vendor took a look at the bamboo basket. It was a small frame made of bamboo and used to put eggs. He didn't expect that this thing could be sold for money.
"okay."
The vendor caught ten chicks in a bamboo basket and covered them with a rag to prevent the chicks from escaping.
Fu Yuanxiao held the bamboo basket and turned around to see the orb running over. He gasped and said, "Girl, how can you run around? There are many people on the street. If you lose it, you will be in trouble."
Fu Yuanxiao said with a smile: "Give him sixty cents."
Bao Zhu looked at the things in her hands. It turned out that they were for buying something. She took out her money bag, took out sixty coins and handed it to the vendor.
After paying the money, Baozhu put away the money bag, looked at the bamboo basket in her hand and asked: "Girl, what did you buy?"
Fu Yuanxiao said happily: "It's fun."
"Is it fun?" Baozhu took a few curious glances. He didn't know what was inside even though it was covered with cloth, but looking at the girl's happy look, it must be fun.
Passing by a place selling bird cages, Fu Yuanxiao bought a few more bird cages before heading back home.
After returning, Fu Yuanxiao put the bamboo basket on the table, then put two birds in a birdcage, put some rice and water, and hung them on the porch.
Baozhu looked at the furry thing in the birdcage and asked Fu Yuanxiao, "Girl, what is this?"
Fu Yuanxiao teased the little bird in the cage with a feather in his hand and said, "It's a little bird."
Baozhu stared at the bird for a while, and couldn't help but said: "Girl, I think this bird is a bit big, but its wings are so small."
"Maybe it's because of the breed. We'll see when it gets older." Fu Yuanxiao continued to tease the bird.
Baozhu sees the girl happy. No matter what kind of bird it is, making the girl happy is the most important thing.
Three days later, Xiaoji returned from outside the city with a great victory in suppressing the bandits.
After Fu Yuanxiao learned about it, he came out of Chu Yuwan and as soon as he walked to the garden, he saw Xiao Ji, wearing a bright blue outfit and a sword on his belt, striding over.
She greeted him happily, "Husband."
When she got closer, she saw a young girl beside Xiao Ji. She was wearing a black cloak, only half of her face was exposed, and she had a pair of autumn eyes, which was very endearing.
"Husband, who is she?"
Xiao Ji lowered his eyes and glanced at Lin Luo, then looked at Fu Yuanxiao, "She is Lin Luo, the girl I saved when he was suppressing bandits."
"Oh." Fu Yuanxiao took two steps forward and held Xiao Ji's hand. He glanced at Lin Luo and found that she was also looking at him. She looked back at Xiao Ji with a smile on her lips: "Husband, I bought a bird It’s very cute, do you want to see it?”
Xiao Ji said: "Xiao'er, I'm going to the palace later. How about we wait until I come back to see you?"
Fu Yuanxiao knew that entering the palace was a big event, so he didn't bother letting Xiao Ji go to see it. The same was true for the party.
"The husband will come back soon."
Xiao Ji: "Yeah."
Then he told Xu Yan, "Go and arrange a place for Miss Lin to live."
"It's the prince," Xu Yan came to Lin Luo and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, please come with me."
Lin Luo nodded, "Okay."
Before leaving, she glanced at Fu Yuanxiao.
Doubt flashed in Fu Yuanxiao's eyes, why did Xiao Ji want that woman to live in the palace?
Just when Fu Yuanxiao was curious, a dissatisfied voice came from behind.
"The prince has brought the girl back again. Looking at the thin skin and tender flesh, the prince is the same. Every time he goes out, he never comes back empty-handed."
Fu Yuanxiao looked back and saw Xia Yufu slowly approaching.
She seems to like wearing sapphire blue clothes. Every time I see her, she always wears sapphire blue clothes. However, she has fair skin and looks good in her clothes.
"That girl was brought back by the prince when he was suppressing bandits."
Xia Yufu seemed to have heard something funny and laughed for a while, "Princess, you are still too stupid. Why do you bring the woman who was rescued from the bandits back to the palace?"
Xia Yufu sighed: "Look at that girl who is as tall as a flower and has a delicate and pitiful appearance. Even a man would be fascinated by her, let alone the romantic King Yu?"
Fu Yuanxiao didn't speak as he listened.
But Xia Yufu seemed to be right, that girl was indeed very pitiful.
Xiao Ji also likes her?
Seeing that Fu Yuanxiao was silent, Xia Yufu continued: "That's how I was brought back by the prince. At that time, I was very happy. Now? The prince has a new man, and he is afraid that he will forget us old people."
Fu Yuanxiao heard the old man, how could they become old people?
She looked towards the direction Lin Luo left. The girl was as big as her.
She didn't understand, so she didn't think about it. She just waited until Xiao Ji came back and asked him.
Fu Yuanxiao turned around and returned to Chu Yuwan.
Xia Yufu's face changed immediately. A vixen appeared out of nowhere, pretending to be pitiful, to please the prince?
She snorted, "If you dare to compete with me for the prince, I won't tear you apart."
Xia Yufu twisted her waist and went back, intending to talk more about the prince bringing the woman back.
After Xiao Ji came back from the palace, he went straight to the study. As soon as he entered the study, he found something was wrong. The furnishings in the room were wrong.
"Xu Yan."
Hearing this, Xu Yan walked in from the outside, lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Xiao Ji glanced at the lantern and asked, "What's going on?"
Xu Yan looked at the sheep horns in front of him and explained: "Your Majesty, this was changed at the princess's command. She said the study was not bright enough."
Xiao Ji was a little surprised when he heard this. Did Fu Yuanxiao let him change?
The palace's funds were tight and there was no one to subsidize it. The ram's horn lantern was too expensive, so he didn't buy it for the time being.
Fu Yuanxiao bought it.
Light time
Fu Yuanxiao sat at the table and watched the maids bringing the food to the table one by one.
Just as the dishes were being served, Xiao Ji's tall figure strode in. Seeing Fu Yuanxiao sitting at the table, he walked over and sat down on the round stool.
Good night, babies!
