Pei Zhi noticed his gaffe and hid his emotions. Seeing the little girl covering her hand, she lowered her eyes and said, "Is your hand okay? I just thought of something and didn't react for a while."
Jiang Li didn't have any doubts. After hearing what he said, she took out another chestnut, peeled it and prepared to put it towards his mouth.
"Third brother, you finally came out to play with me, so don't think about other things."
Pei Zhi quickly took the chestnut in his hand and said, "I'll do it myself."
The small vendor in front was shouting, hiding his slightly guilty words.
Jiang Li's eyes were quickly attracted by an old woman selling flower bouquets.
She walked up to the stall and picked up the things out of curiosity, "In this season, there are still these flower strings."
They are all things that fit the occasion in spring and summer. I think I started preparing to make dried flowers at that time. They have been preserved to this day without any damage. I guess a lot of effort has gone into it.
When the old woman selling flowers heard what she said, her eyes were full of kindness: "Little lady, I started preparing these flowers several months ago, and used a special method to dry them, so that they are still as beautiful as today." This is what it looks like.”
In this whole street, she is the only one selling it!
Jiang Li curled her almond-shaped eyes: "That's it."
Pei Zhi took out the broken silver from his purse and said, "You can pick whatever you like."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Thank you, third brother."
The third brother became the one who paid for her along the way. She carefully selected and finally took a string of jasmine bracelets.
The bracelet also has a light floral fragrance, which is very refreshing.
Jiang Li put the flower string on her hand and carefully selected it. Pei Zhi stood aside, sat down and looked at his little girl.
I haven't seen her for a while, and the little girl seems to have grown a little more, but in her prime, there probably aren't many people in Qingzhou who are as beautiful as her.
The little girl was dressed exquisitely today. Just after walking this way, many people were quietly looking at Jiang Li. Pei Zhi let all these eyes pay attention and calmly moved the little girl closer to him.
The young man is tall and tall, wearing a dark cloak with pine and crane embroidered on it. Just standing there makes people feel deserted and unapproachable.
There was a young master who wanted to strike up a conversation, but when he saw Pei Zhi standing aside, he stopped thinking about it.
Jiang Li carefully picked one, stood up, and waved it in front of Pei Zhi: "Third brother, what do you think of this one?"
Pei Zhi only felt that the flowers seemed to be more beautiful in the little girl's hands: "It's acceptable."
After Jiang Li heard this, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Third brother, stretch out your hand."
When Pei Zhi heard what she said, he stretched out his hand without any hesitation.
Jiang Li put the flower string on his hand and said, "If Third Brother thinks it's okay, I'll give this string to Third Brother."
When Pei Zhi heard this, he laughed and gently pinched the soft flesh of the little girl's cheek with his other hand.
He joked: "You can give me the things you bought with my money."
"Jiang Li, you can borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."
Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't you like it, third brother?"
It would be great if you wear one for yourself and your third brother wears one too.
When the flower seller saw this scene, she smiled kindly in her eyes and said, "The relationship between the young lady and her husband is really good."
Seeing the boy and girl look like this, she couldn't help but think of everything she had with her husband...
If my husband was still here and the New Year was approaching, how could I brave such weather except selling these flower strings.
When Jiang Li heard this, she stepped back subconsciously and hurriedly explained: "Old lady, you misunderstood."
Pei Zhi felt the little girl's hand loosen from his, looking worried.
Jiang Li said hurriedly: "Old lady, this is my brother, not the relationship you said."
After saying that, he secretly looked at the expressions of the people next to him, wondering how he could misunderstand himself and his third brother. What if the third brother gets angry when he hears this?
She secretly glanced at the faces of the people next to her, and sure enough, after hearing these words, Pei Zhi's face turned a little ugly.
The old woman selling flowers was stunned when she heard this. She looked at the intimate behavior between the two, and their faces were not very similar, so she thought they were a newlywed couple.
When it comes to this, I feel a little embarrassed.
The old lady smiled and continued: "Old lady, my eyes are dim, please don't argue with me."
"It's okay, it's okay." After Jiang Li said this, he pushed the person next to him to leave.
Pei Zhi only felt a little depressed after hearing what Jiang Li said just now, but he didn't quite understand the specific reason.
Jiang Li looked at Pei Zhi who said nothing and felt a little embarrassed: "Third brother, I don't think she did it on purpose."
Pei Zhi lowered his eyes and couldn't see clearly the expression in his eyes.
Forget it, today is the little girl’s birthday, so don’t think about other things for now, just enjoy yourself with the little girl.
"Well, there's a candied haws seller over there, do you want to eat it?"
Jiang Li felt relieved after hearing this. Third brother was not angry when he said this. She nodded and walked in that direction: "Third brother, I want to eat, let's go there."
Pei Zhi calmly gathered his fingertips and followed Jiang Li.
He was too hasty when he came out. He didn't wear the jade ring, and he just felt a little uncomfortable.
Pei Zhi paid for her again behind her. The little girl was biting the candied haws in her mouth and her cheeks were stuffed. She looked particularly cute.
The location of the two of them was on the main street. At this moment, a carriage suddenly rushed over. It seemed to be crazy and ran towards the direction of the two of them.
Pei Zhi held the person in his arms with one hand and walked back.
Jiang Li was completely wrapped in Pei Zhi's dark cloak, and she could only smell the cold snowy plum fragrance coming from Pei Zhi's body.
Seeing that the little girl in his arms was fine, Pei Zhi comforted Jiang Li and put her in place. Before Jiang Li could react, he only saw his third brother leaping out and heading directly towards the carriage.
Jiang Li knew what the third brother was going to do, and her fingertips dug into her flesh at some point, making her very nervous.
She looked at the situation not far away, but she didn't feel the pain in her hands, and her heart tightened.
The groom who was originally driving had already fallen off the carriage because of this series of turmoil. The carriage ran rampantly and kicked down many vendors.
Pei Zhi jumped onto his horse and was almost thrown off his horse. The people around him felt frightened when they saw this.
Pei Zhi, however, looked cold and unfazed at all. He tightened the reins hard, and the horse's hooves turned in circles several times, stirring up a cloud of dust.
He finally calmed down and the people around him relaxed their worries.
Jiang Li's tightly clenched fist finally relaxed at this moment.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Pei Zhi glanced around and met Jiang Li's eyes not far away. The concern and worry in the little girl's eyes were obvious.
Pei Zhi turned over and dismounted, his dark cloak flying.
Pei Zhi frowned. The little girl was frightened by this scene and was about to go in the direction of Jiang Li. However, he did not expect that the little girl ran directly towards him from the crowd and hugged him.
Jiang Li hugged his waist tightly and said in a low voice: "Third brother, you just scared me to death."
