"Candied haws on a stick, candied haws on a stick..."
"Cooking cakes, fresh and hot cooking cakes..."
"Those who are rich will support you with money, and those who have no money will support you with personal support. At home, you rely on your brothers, and when you go out, you rely on your friends..."
"Testing characters will tell you about your marriage, fortune telling will tell you about good and bad luck."
"..."
This Suzhou market is not as prosperous as Qiantang. There are hawkers, street performers, people riding donkey carts to the market, fortune tellers, and their own brocade clothes, Jingchai cloth skirts, gray shorts, green skirts and flower jackets. Male and female customers were walking, bustling and noisy.
Although Li Yong and his colleagues are still eye-catching, they are not so focused when they are mixed in with the crowd.
Zhao Pan'er, Song Qijun, and Yu Min each had a bunch of candied haws on their hands. Song Qijun naturally gave Song Yinzhang's. Because the girl's teeth had not yet grown, Song Qijun asked her to chew them slowly one by one, leaving only the ones she couldn't eat. Will eat by himself.
After Yu Min ate a few, he looked at the maid behind him and gave her the rest.
As for Li Yong, he doesn’t like sweets very much, nor does he like this taste.
Looking back at the girls, Li Yong suspected that she was just following the trend when she said she was not feeling well, and she also wanted to get off the boat and have some fun.
He looked at Zhao Pan'er and asked, "Is it better now?"
Zhao Pan'er was chewing candied haws, her lips were sticky from eating them, and she looked a little embarrassed. Her face bulged from chewing, making her look very cute. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that Li Yong was looking at him, thinking I definitely didn't look good when I was eating at this time, and I was subconsciously a little embarrassed.
The two water-cutting boys were still a little flustered, and they didn't even realize what question Li Yong was asking her.
Li Yong picked up a handkerchief and wiped the crumbs that spilled from the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile, "How come the food is everywhere?"
His soft words and thoughtfulness made Zhao Pan'er feel a little uncomfortable, and she glanced at Song Qijun next to her, but she was also wiping the corners of Song Yinzhang's mouth and didn't notice it at all.
This made Zhao Pan'er breathe a sigh of relief, and with a sense of sweetness and guilt, she looked at Li Yong and said as thinly as a gnat: "I've never eaten this before, it's delicious..."
When she could afford it before, she was still young and her upbringing must have been very strict, so she was not allowed to eat it. Later, her house was confiscated and she was transferred to the Jiaofang Department. Her parents and relatives were gone, and she could no longer eat it.
Li Yong sighed secretly when he heard this. At this time, he felt a sense of pity and pity in his heart.
Yu Min watched secretly next to him, feeling strange in his heart.
Ever since she lived next door to Li Yong, even if she didn't look up or down, she felt that Li Yong was not as proud as she thought. He was not at all like those dandy boys in Qiantang County. Instead, he looked like a handsome person. A jade-like young master.
Thinking of the rumors about him, Yu Min suddenly felt that it would be reasonable for such a person to obtain the Emperor's Holy Scroll and issue a special edict to summon him to meet him.
If he really has those legendary talents, plus this temperament that is neither humble nor arrogant, he is indeed a talent that can be made, even...
Thinking of something, Yu Min's cheeks suddenly flew up.
That time she called the Zhennan Escort Bureau because she heard several dudes talking about her "affair" with Li Yong. She thought it was because the Li family wanted to climb up her father's hierarchy, and Li Yong deliberately concocted such a story. rumor.
In addition, he knew that the heartless man was also in the escort agency at that time. The combination of these two factors naturally made him have a bad impression.
Now it seems that those are just unconfirmed guesses. On the contrary, the person I am now in personal contact with is the real Li Junming.
It's a pity that he already has a concubine, or two wives, and now there is a pregnant one who stayed in Qiantang and did not come with him.
Although the position of head wife is still vacant, she is not——
Oops, what are you doing thinking about this?
Yu Min came back to her senses and quickly rubbed her cheeks. Then she looked at Li Yong and the others who seemed to be attracted by something. Then she looked at someone in front who seemed to be having a dispute. Out of curiosity, she quickly suppressed her inner feelings. Si followed.
As soon as I got closer, I heard a loud shout from the other side: "This is a place where I do business, how can I allow you to run wild as you please?"
But they saw several big men surrounding a mother and son in a shop. One of them, a man with a sinewy face and a fierce look, was the one who made the sound.
The mother and son showed no fear in the face of these sturdy men. The wife, who looked to be in her thirties and had a slightly tired face but a determined expression, also said plausibly: "Since you have been there recently, If we can't get to Tokyo, we have to pay back the travel expenses for our mother and son.
"If that person hadn't previously guaranteed the reputation of your shop, how could I have believed him and handed him the travel expenses? Now that he is gone, we, mother and son, can only look for you..."
This simply explained the context, and the onlookers probably knew what was going on.
When Yu Min heard this, she immediately had the idea of drawing out her sword to help when there was an injustice on the road. She was about to step forward, but was pulled back by Li Yong, who shook his head slightly at her.
Yu Min was stunned for a moment, but seeing his determination in his eyes, he unconsciously weakened his momentum and snorted softly: "If you don't want to help, you can leave first, and I won't involve you in it."
Li Yong whispered: "Let's take a look at the situation first. Now that right and wrong have not been determined, how do you know that this woman is not making trouble unreasonably?"
At this time, the man in the shop over there also sneered: "You say it is, what evidence do you have to prove that it is related to us?"
"Although I don't have any credentials in my hand, my eyes can't misrecognize your face. And I also remember that he was also a clerk in your shop before. You two were drinking together two days ago. Don't He also said that they were unrelated people, but they drank wine and boxed together..."
At this point, many people have actually believed what this woman said. The key is that people will naturally have some sympathy for this seemingly vulnerable group. It is natural to bully the weak, and it is also natural to hate the strong and sympathize with the weak. .
What's more, the big man opposite seemed to be overwhelmed by the woman's questioning. At this time, he didn't refute what she said. Instead, he said as if he was making trouble unreasonably: "Go, go, whatever you say is what it is. Where is this place?" ?”
There were people nearby who wanted to stand up and help fight the injustice, but they were either held down by their companions, or they became cowardly after being stared at by those big men.
From this, it can be seen that the style of these big men has been clearly seen by the local people watching, so they will not stand up and cause trouble for people who have nothing to do with them.
And even if they didn't know, looking at their posture, they wouldn't dare to step forward.
But at this time, Li Yong didn't hold Yu Min captive anymore. Naturally, the rich lady couldn't hold it back. When the woman wanted to continue to argue, the big men opposite had already begun to push her mercilessly. When they were mother and son, they were ready to take action.
This woman is in her mid-teens and her charm is still there, and the men themselves are not very good, but they are taking advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of her.
But before his hand even touched the woman's waist, he kicked her out with a diagonal stab and kicked her away. The companions beside him also fell over and fell into a pile of arhats on the ground.
