There was a death in Yunlai Inn, and there were wanted criminals involved. The tenants heard some rumors and tried to avoid it.
This worries the innkeeper, but for Xiao Yu and the others, they naturally don't care about this. After returning to the inn, it's time to rest.
In the afternoon.
On the first floor of the inn, the shopkeeper was calculating accounts behind the counter, shaking his head and sighing.
The first floor is equivalent to a pub, with seven or eight tables.
Shen Zhiyue sat quietly behind a square table, her eyes fixed on the stairs in a daze.
The maid held her chin with both hands, bored: "Miss, how long do we have to wait."
Shen Zhiyue ignored her. She was wearing an ancient-style plain skirt, and her steps were swaying with black hair. Although she was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, she was not that delicate and lively, but gentle and quiet.
Not long after, Xiao Yu walked down from the second floor. Shen Zhiyue's eyes lit up and she stood up quickly to greet him: "Master Xiao."
"Miss Shen?" Xiao Yu was somewhat surprised.
Shen Zhiyue said lightly: "Young master, I don't expect repayment when I give, and I value wealth for justice. This means that I am virtuous to others, and I must not forget them; but as for a little girl, I am virtuous to others, and I must not forget them."
She quoted scriptures and Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Young girl is very talented and knowledgeable."
"How dare you." Shen Zhiyue bowed slightly: "At this hour, the young master must not have had dinner yet. The little girl heard that there is a particularly good restaurant in Xiangyang City, and she dares to invite the young master to go with her. I would like to express my sincere feelings."
After saying that, he hurriedly said: "I hope you will never refuse, otherwise the little girl will not feel at ease."
Seeing the slight tiredness on her pretty face, Xiao Yu suddenly asked, "Last night happened, has the girl not rested yet?"
Shen Zhiyue lowered his head slightly.
Has she been waiting for herself here? Xiao Yu was silent for a moment and said, "In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey. Miss Shen, please."
Shen Zhiyue was overjoyed, and the two of them left the inn side by side. Yang Zhao behind him frowned. His duty was to protect the second prince. Now that a woman suddenly appeared, he would naturally be wary due to his professional habits.
After thinking about it, he whispered: "Please ask the military aircraft battalion to take action to find out the details of this woman."
"No." The guards behind them immediately took the order.
Yunlai Inn is located in an excellent location. Right after you come out, you will find the main street of Xiangyang. Although it is not a big market, it is still busy with people coming and going.
Xiao Yu is dressed in white with a jade hairpin, Shen Zhiyue is in an elegant plain skirt, and her blue silk steps are swaying. They are gentle and gentle. The boy and girl walk together, they look extremely well matched.
The two of them strolled and chatted from time to time. After Shen Zhiyue finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yu, her beautiful eyes flickering, and then she would look down slightly.
Xiao Yu's handsomeness is as handsome as a young man's jade.
It's not surprising that a young girl in Huaichun would be attracted to such a young man.
Plus he saved her life.
He accidentally looked at her body.
These are fatal.
Xiao Yu seemed to feel something again and couldn't help but glance at her sideways.
With her beautiful eyes dodging, Shen Zhiyue was flustered, as if she had been caught stealing candy. She hurriedly found an excuse and pointed at a vendor on the roadside: "Look, Mr. Xiao."
"Ah?" Xiao Yu followed his instructions and the two of them walked over.
This is a stall specializing in women's items, mostly hairpins, rouge and gouache.
Seeing the guests coming, the boss quickly greeted them with a smile: "Look at whatever you want, look at whatever you want, oh, these two guests, to be honest, I have seen all kinds of people on this street, but I have never seen anything like these two guests." Such a perfect match is a perfect match made in heaven."
He naturally picked up the good words and said: "Master, please help your wife choose some gifts. Don't think that my shop is small, but the things I sell are no worse than those in red cosmetics stores."
The boss talked non-stop.
Shen Zhiyue had already blushed with embarrassment, but her heart felt sweeter than ever before, even worse than drinking honey.
She also subconsciously leaned closer to Xiao Yu, not wanting to refute her boss's claim that they were a young couple.
Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Boss, don't get me wrong, this girl and I are just friends."
As he was talking about choosing something unintentionally, a hairpin brightened his eyes. He glanced at Shen Zhiyue, who was feeling a little disappointed, and secretly thought that the temperament matched her well, then asked the boss: "How can I sell this?"
"Young master, you have good taste!" The boss said immediately: "This hairpin is the treasure of my store. I wouldn't sell it to ordinary people, but today I met two of you, especially this girl, who is very suitable for this hairpin. Mr. If you want it, just take twenty taels of silver."
This hairpin is indeed very beautiful, not the kind of luxurious jewelry, but elegant and gentle, with tassels on it, which is indeed in line with Shen Zhiyue's temperament.
"Do you like Miss Shen?" Xiao Yu asked.
The latter's rosy face did not dare to look at Xiao Yu at all, and whispered: "Zhiyue likes everything the young master chooses."
At the end of the sentence, his voice was like a mosquito.
Tsk tsk, the boss looked at the door and smiled like an aunt.
Xiao Yu said nothing more and paid the bill.
"Okay, twenty taels of silver, no more, no less, welcome to visit next time." The boss smiled happily.
After leaving here, Shen Zhiyue held the hairpin in her hands and regarded it as a treasure. Although it was not a very valuable item, it had a completely different meaning to her.
Still softly whispering: "Thank you, Master, for the gift."
Xiao Yu didn't care: "This hairpin is indeed in line with the girl's temperament. Just don't dislike it."
"How is that possible?" Shen Zhiyue said hurriedly, seeming to realize that she was losing her composure, and said with a blush, "I will always keep it with me."
This kind of love that arises between boys and girls, sometimes there is a flutter in the eyes, a kind of attraction, a kind of evasive look in the eyes, it is not that Xiao Yu has not sensed it.
But he couldn't promise her anything.
After a while, the two came to a good restaurant. In order to thank him for saving his life, Shen Zhiyue ordered a large table of dishes.
The atmosphere of the meal was quite good. From the words and demeanor, it can be seen that Shen Zhiyue is well-educated and should be a lady of the family. Xiao Yu chatted with her while eating, ranging from anecdotes to poems, books, rituals and music.
This kind of knowledge and talent made Shen Zhiyue secretly happy.
After leaving the restaurant, Xiao Yu paused: "Miss Shen."
"Huh?" she responded softly.
Xiao Yu said: "Thank you for the hospitality. The food and wine were very good today. The kindness between you and me has been repaid. Don't take this matter to heart anymore."
Shen Zhiyue raised her eyes.
Xiao Yu cupped his hands and saluted: "Girl, please take care of me."
After saying that, he left here directly.
He didn't dare to look at those beautiful eyes, it would be better to cut through the mess quickly.
"Master Xiao" Shen Zhiyue chased after two steps, her feet stumbled, and she let out a cry of pain.
Hearing the movement behind him, Xiao Yu paused for a moment, then kept walking.
Seeing his figure disappear, Shen Zhiyue lay on the ground, her heart suddenly hurt, her eyes were filled with tears, and the tears fell immediately, and she choked and murmured: "He understands my feelings."
