In the entire courtyard, Cuiyu was the only one who was close to her, but Song Jinyin didn't want to let her know about this, nor did she want to implicate her.
After comforting the person, Song Jinyin took the sewing basket and returned to Wenyue Tower.
There was a purse inside that she had not finished embroidering. She had no intention of exchanging it with the embroidered handkerchiefs. She just wanted to embroider a few more and keep them while she had nothing to do.
As her fingertips stroked the fine needlework, Song Jinyin thought of the embroidery workshop and felt a little guilty in her heart.
I couldn't hand over the picture I owed.
Early the next morning, a boy came from the other side of the kitchen, waiting for Song Jinyin to leave the house. Chef Li was leaving the house today and asked her if she wanted to go with him.
Song Jinyin naturally nodded in agreement.
As long as you follow Chef Li honestly for a few days, others will not feel out of place when you leave the city.
Song Jinyin's eyes were still tired. She changed into simple coarse clothes, casually tied her hair into a maid bun, and even took the initiative to call Biyu.
"It's not bright yet and the cold wind is blowing. How can you even think about joining in the fun?"
Biyu's face was still a little sleepy, and she shivered when she was blown by the cold wind because she had just gotten up.
"I learned some new skills from Uncle Li, and I thought it was not easy to pick the ingredients, so I wanted to go with him. But sister Biyu found it boring? If you don't want to go together, I can go with Uncle Li myself."
Song Jinyin smiled cutely, and Biyu's sleepiness disappeared immediately when she saw her curved brows and eyes, quiet and gentle.
"The Crown Prince has given an order, but I can't let you leave the house alone."
"Then without the prince's instructions, sister Biyu would not want to leave the house with me at all?"
"Think about it."
Biyu changed into a man's attire, wearing a narrow-sleeved black robe, with only a light-colored belt that highlighted her narrow waist, giving her a bit of a handsome young man's air.
"You went to bed early last night. When I came back from running errands, I drank a few bottles of wine with Cang Lin. I thought I would have half a day of leisure today, but I didn't expect that you would become interested in picking out ingredients."
"I don't know that Sister Biyu sleeps late, but she has a good relationship with Brother Canglin?"
Song Jinyin and Biyu laughed and joked for a while, and everything looked the same as usual.
She had no intention of making any noise in the past few days. She wanted to wait for Pei Yanzhou to go out and to be able to follow the purchasers in the house to successfully leave Kyoto City, instead of just escaping in the city according to the convenience in front of her.
"We had contacts in the old days, and apart from you, he was the one I got along with the most after I entered the house. We could drink together and chat a few words with him."
"Brother Kurin has always been taciturn. When my sister said this, I couldn't imagine what he would look like when he was drunk."
"I'll call you secretly next time."
After a pause, Biyu added, "I won't dare to wait until the prince is not in the house."
Song Jinyin pursed her lips and responded lightly, raising her brows with a faint smile.
It's probably because there won't be this next time. She heard a few words now and thought she had already seen it. But when she thought of Cuiyu's face in her mind, Song Jinyin was a little annoyed and regretted that she couldn't get closer to the two of them.
While chatting and joking, the two of them walked to the corner gate and met Chef Li.
The market we went to today was a bit far away. By the time the carriage stopped, the sky was completely bright.
There was a lot of noise in the market, and Song Jinyin couldn't help but feel lost for a moment while looking at the smoke.
There are occasionally old women selling vegetables among the food stalls, as well as various baskets and utensils. At a glance, it seems that there is no end to them.
"Is this the first time for Miss Jinyin to come to this morning market?"
"I was taken there when I was a child. This is the first time since I came to Kyoto City. If Uncle Li hadn't brought me here, I don't know when I would be able to take a look and fulfill my wish."
Seeing Song Jinyin's eyes suddenly become bright and shiny, Biyu was slightly startled, and suddenly remembered that the life she was accustomed to had unknowingly become one of Song Jinyin's longings.
At this moment, she seemed to suddenly feel the sourness in Song Jinyin's heart, and seemed to sense her yearning for this worldly fireworks from the emptiness in her eyes.
"It's good that Miss Jinyin is happy. The road ahead is all about eating. You might as well take your time and take a look. I'll go to some familiar shops at the end of the street first."
Song Jinyin stopped in front of a sesame cake stall, looked at Chef Li, then looked at the fascinated Biyu, and nodded.
The whole street is filled with fragrance.
Once the sun is bright, the time flies by very quickly.
Song Jinyin sat at the stall, sipping the noodle soup from the bowl.
She originally wanted to take the opportunity to pawn some jewelry today, but to be safe, she temporarily gave up the idea. After eating and drinking, she followed Chef Li honestly.
The serious look made Biyu, who was accompanying her, raise her eyes again and again.
Song Jinyin always made her feel something was wrong lately, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't say anything.
It's as if her craftsmanship is quite good, but she still learns it so carefully from the chef. For those who don't know, she might really think that she is going to change her career to become a cook.
Just as she was thinking about it, the little girl put her arm around her and pulled her forward to stand. After stopping, she hugged her arm sideways.
"Uncle Li has gone to count. Why have Sister Biyu been so stunned? You can get back all the money you spent today from Butler Wang. Why don't we eat more quickly?"
"You just ate a cake, a bowl of noodles, and drank half a bowl of noodle soup. Are you still full?"
"I should be able to eat some more."
Song Jinyin raised her chin slightly, pursed her pink lips, and under her long eyelashes were eyes that curved into crescent moons, delicate and agile.
If he had occasionally seen Song Jinyin happy in the mansion, this was the first time Biyu had seen her so relaxed and at ease.
It was as if everything that had once weighed on her no longer existed, and only the light poured down on her, illuminating her original lovely nature.
That feeling of something wrong vaguely emerged again.
Biyu was sure that Song Jinyin was a little different from before, but although she didn't understand it, she liked her appearance very much.
There is no hiding, and there are no dull and low moods.
Like the little girl in the family, she is full of dependence and trust, smart and well-behaved.
However, before the two of them stayed together, pedestrians passing by occasionally glanced at her, and some of them, walking together, pointed at their location.
Jasper's brows suddenly sharpened, and she looked around, causing passers-by to lower their heads in shock, but there were always those who came up from behind and looked up from time to time.
Song Jinyin also looked at herself, and then followed their gazes to look at Biyu. After a while, she covered her mouth and smiled, her black eyes dazzling.
"They are not treating my sister as a man and then saying that I am frivolous, right?"
"Is that how I look like a man?"
"Um......"
"This is not unusual. When a girl dresses up as a man, she is very heroic and her aura is not inferior to that of a man. It is inevitable that she will be misunderstood."
Suddenly there was a voice, and the two of them turned their heads and saw the silver mask dazzling them.
"The owner of the embroidery workshop!"
Song Jinyin exclaimed softly, smiling even more.
She happened to want to go to the embroidery workshop, finish the embroidery work, and then accompany her.
Now that she can see it, she can save this time and use it to go to Bi Chun Tang to ask for some medicine that can be taken on the way.
"My boss has so many shops, do you still have to go out to buy wine in person early in the morning?"
The man moved his hand to avoid the two people's eyes, "Fortunately, I can't meet the girl until I leave the house, but don't call me boss next time, my surname is Zhou..."
"Dr. Zhou, I'm just looking for an opportunity to make amends with my boss!"
When the visitor saw that she shouted smoothly, he could only smile helplessly.
"I can't bear the word "apologise". There are many people on the street. I just saw the girl standing next to this food stall for a long time. Why don't you treat her to a bowl of mutton soup?"
Realizing that the woman called Biyu's eyes were on him, the man raised his eyes and met hers. He took half a step back and said with a gentle and elegant expression, "Do you want to come with us? The mutton soup here tastes good." good."
"Don't you have breakfast at Mr. Zhou's house for drinking?"
The man raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded to Song Jinyin, "Good wine is hard to find, so I'm in a hurry when I go out."
Having said that, he didn't really come here to get a drink. He came here for Song Jinyin, but his subordinate Pei Yanzhou seemed a little difficult to deal with. He might not be able to talk to Song Jinyin this time.
"I just want to try this hot mutton soup, but it doesn't need to be paid by Dong Zhou's family. Our housekeeper can pay for it."
It would be a while before Song Jinyin saw Uncle Li, so she simply pulled him to sit down.
She knew that the person coming had something to say.
After all, this boss was also at Bi Chuntang that day.
It's just that Biyu has a delicate mind. If it's too abrupt, she will definitely notice it. This investigation may make Pei Yanzhou pay attention and anger her, or block her way out of the house.
"I was going to the embroidery workshop. I might not be able to embroider that picture of early spring in the bright moon."
"Why?"
The visitor calmly glanced at Biyu who was sitting next to him, and said with difficulty: "But if you want to take care of yourself in the winter, are you afraid that it will be hard for your eyes to look at?"
"Yes, it really can't be hidden from Dong Zhou's family."
Song Jinyin's eyes were full of smiles, "Doctor Shen said that I was a little weak last time. I thought, no matter what, I have to take care of myself."
The man was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of her words.
"In this case, even if the drawings are not made, our embroidery shop is not out of stock. When you recover in the future, it doesn't matter if you come back to take over the work."
After a pause, the man continued: "My shop is not limited to Kyoto. Just don't worry, girl, I will definitely give her the best price."
"Then I'd like to thank my boss first."
Just as he was talking, the waiter came up with hot soup and a few pancakes on the plate.
Biyu took it for Song Jinyin smoothly, her thoughts turned around, and then she took it back completely after the two men's words.
