When Lin Jingxiu was thrown back into the carriage, his head was still a little dazed.
His resistance seemed a bit weak to Cang Rin, and the words he originally intended to convey turned into gentle advice.
"Master Lin, why bother messing with the master at this time? Why don't you just have fun in Luo City and find something new?"
"Hasn't he already found someone? Why is he still so hard to talk to?"
Cang Lin was in the front, driving the carriage with Lin Jingxiu's boy.
The person in the carriage leaned forward, opened a few curtains, and spoke curiously, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Forget it that way in Kyoto City, now that everyone has been found, you still look like you want to eat people. Are you afraid that you won't scare that girl away?"
Cang Lin wanted to say that the master only did this to Master Lin. In front of Miss Jin Yin, the master was surprisingly easy to talk to.
But in the end it was not his turn to comment on the matter.
"Miss Jinyin has no plans to return to Kyoto for the time being, and the master has no time to worry about anything else. The people of Luo City are open and open, and there are many delicious and fun things. Master Lin, why don't you just leave the master alone and finish your errands for a few days before returning to Kyoto. "
"I said, it's because people ignored him."
Lin Jingxiu guessed the reason immediately and returned to the car with satisfaction.
As the car curtain shook, he closed his eyes due to sleepiness.
These days of running around are really tiring.
It's just that even though he's here, he still wants to see Song Jinyin, otherwise it would be a big loss.
...
Lin Jingxiu's appearance was like a pebble thrown into a lake. There was some movement, but it didn't cause much trouble.
But these days, this place is not unchanged.
The small street in front of the courtyard has only a few breakfast stalls at the beginning, but now there are more and more vendors.
It attracted many passers-by to stop, and it seemed even more lively.
In addition to being more popular, this bustling event also has a lot of little beggars.
The little beggars looked young, their faces and bodies were dirty, and they were walking through the alleys.
When he saw a well-dressed person, he rushed up to surround him and refused to give up until he got something.
Occasionally, I meet a few people who are easy to be soft-hearted. When they see these little babies, they will inevitably take out a few pennies to buy a peaceful life.
It's just that most of the people here are ordinary people living a tight life. When they see anyone asking for money, most of them scold them and just want to scold these little beggars away.
But Song Jinyin had never seen such a battle before.
As soon as she walked back to the street in front of the alley today, she was stopped by a few beggars.
The hand hanging on one side subconsciously held his belly, and he looked at the children in front of him. He felt a little at a loss for a moment, and his eyes widened and he didn't react for a long time.
Finally, the little beggar who was the leader kowtowed to her and stretched out the broken bowl in front of her, and she came back to her senses.
"I don't have many copper coins with me."
Maybe she was pregnant. Song Jinyin couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she looked at the ragged little baby, whose hands were covered with frostbite from the cold in this winter.
It's just that although she has some money left at the bottom of the box, she only takes twenty or thirty coins with her every day to take care of her own food and clothing.
"There aren't many rich people here, so it's useless for you to stay here. It's better to go to a lively place, find a job and live a good life."
As Song Jinyin spoke, she reached out to untie her purse and poured out the coins inside.
She didn't buy food outside today, and her purse was still full.
Perhaps seeing that Song Jinyin was easy to talk to, the eyes of the little beggar behind him couldn't help but light up.
A few young ones, only about six or seven years old, rushed up from behind, reaching out for more.
Song Jinyin was frightened by the movement, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt annoyed.
After not being in the Duke's Mansion for a long time, she actually forgot to be cautious due to a moment of weakness, which made these little beggars greedy.
If we are really entangled with them now, not to mention whether there are adults following these people, just talking about these little kids, they don't seem to be easy to get rid of.
Song Jinyin mentally blamed herself for being careless, but she still kept calm on her face and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
This change made the little beggars in front of them who only thought she was easy to fool were stunned.
Seeing how a weak and kind-hearted girl can be so scary.
"Don't come up here! It's just a small amount of copper coins. If you don't know how to use it, you might as well not get a penny at all!"
In the peripheral vision was the old man selling her date cakes. He seemed to have seen the movement here and was about to come this way.
Seeing this, Song Jinyin became more confident.
As long as someone can pass by, even if someone is watching this little beggar, they won't dare to do anything to her.
"Sister, please do well, we are going to starve to death. With this little copper coin, we can only eat two steamed buns each. Please give me more, sister!"
The older beggar in front was the first to come to his senses. As usual, he reached out to grab the hem of her skirt while talking, just to scare her into giving in.
"Sister, you are kind-hearted. Please give me a little more reward. If you give me a little more, we will leave."
Song Jinyin knew that she had encountered a group of scoundrels.
Her face sank, and she turned sideways to avoid those dirty hands. She quickly calmed down and opened her mouth to call her brother into the alley.
But before the big brother could be called out, there was a flash of silver light beside her, and then a figure appeared, hugging her and protecting her behind her.
A long sword was unsheathed, creating a streak of cold light in the cold wind.
The little beggars were completely frightened now, and their legs were trembling. Even the old man who was about to come over was frightened, and then retreated silently after seeing this.
"roll."
The cold voice was mixed in the cold wind, and just one word made people crawl back.
But in just a moment, there was a space in front of him.
Song Jinyin felt the heat, her eyes were dazed for a moment, and then she stepped away after standing firm.
It wasn't that she wasn't grateful in her heart, but after seeing Pei Yanzhou's deep gaze, she suddenly woke up and just lowered her head and said thank you.
His appearance here cannot be a coincidence.
Thinking about it, if it weren't for these little beggars, this man would never show up, let alone how long he would stay here, and what his intentions are.
Thinking about this, Song Jinyin felt a little complicated.
She had spoken so clearly, and the proper farewell was also measured. She thought that such a clear relationship was not worthy of the acquaintance that year.
But Pei Yanzhou listened, but still appeared beside her, and in a way that she couldn't understand.
"What are you thinking about?"
The man saw her frown slightly, as if she was deep in thought, and finally spoke first, "Are you thinking of how to hide from me?"
"Um."
Song Jinyin came back to her senses and responded calmly, "The prince's appearance like this will make me think that the prince has been staring at me."
"So you are trying to avoid me again? What are your plans this time? Are you going to run away or say those words again to distance yourself from me?"
The man's deep eyes kept looking at the girl in front of him, unwilling to let go of the slightest change on her face.
It's just that Song Jinyin's momentary bewilderment just now irritated him, causing some cracks in the forbearance and restraint in his heart, and his face darkened.
"Actually, you should understand in your heart that if I really want to take you back to Kyoto, you won't have the slightest ability to resist."
"yes."
Song Jinyin did not argue or evade, and raised her eyes to meet his gaze.
If Pei Yanzhou really wanted to use force on her, she really had no choice but to resist with death.
But Song Jinyin still felt a little unwilling in her heart.
She had traveled so far, and thought she had escaped everything from him, and thought she was already living under freedom, but this man suddenly appeared again.
It was as if he was telling her that everything she, Song Jinyin, was pursuing was just a dream.
And he can wake up from this dream at any time.
Thinking about this, Song Jinyin smiled and her eyes gradually dimmed.
"So the prince is trying to force me to leave Luo City and go to Kyoto with you just like before?"
"No, I will not force you, let alone threaten you with the child in my belly."
The man regained his coldness.
The words were spoken a little slowly, and the voice was unexpectedly low and hoarse, ringing in her ears.
With a little bit of probing, and even some unbelievable flattery.
"I want to stay in Los Angeles... As long as you stop resisting like this, I will never use force on you again."
"What do you mean, Crown Prince?"
"Don't push me away, Song Jinyin."
The man's voice became softer and softer, gentle and bewitching, as if he was praying, and he surrounded her little by little.
The cold wind blew across her face, as if it had blown away everything in the past, making Song Jinyin suddenly think of where she came from.
But she is no longer what she used to be.
Looking at the person in front of her, Song Jinyin's eyes flickered, and there was nothing but strangeness in her eyes.
