Chapter 1948 Rabbit Candy Man
Chapter 1948 Rabbit Candy Man
"The road to Bhikkhu City is no longer visible..." Wan Shufang murmured with worry in her eyes. She looked up at Chen Changli, but saw that Chen Changli also had a solemn expression.
After a long time, Wan Shufang finally sighed and said, "Forget it. Since we promised Qian Er not to delve deeper into Bhikkhu City, we shouldn't get involved in this matter."
"It's not surprising. When we came here, this road was also very strange."
As she spoke, Wan Shufang took Chen Changli's arm, as if she had coaxed herself, and pulled him forward. Perhaps infected by her joy, Chen Changli also curled his lips and followed Wan Shufang forward.
The Biqiu City was completely forgotten. The two of them traveled smoothly all the way back to Dayong, but they did not choose to return to Yongzhou City. Instead, they turned around and came to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.
It is now the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and this place has the best cherry blossoms in the entire Dayong. Chen Changli wanted to bring Wan Shufang to see them.
Looking at the small town not far ahead, Chen Changli smiled, held Wan Shufang's hand tightly and said, "Shufang, the destination is ahead. I've been here before when I was working. The cherry blossoms are very beautiful. I think you will like it."
"Okay, let's go into town first."
Wan Shufang raised her lips and smiled softly. The two of them dressed like an ordinary couple, talking and laughing all the way into the town. As soon as they arrived in the town, Wan Shufang found that it was unusually lively here. After asking, she learned that today was the market day.
"Changli, we came here by chance. We happened to meet the market."
Hearing this, Chen Changli lowered his eyes to look at Wan Shufang. Seeing her looking around, obviously excited, he couldn't help laughing: "Let's find an inn first. After you put your things down, I'll accompany you to the market."
He stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Wan Shufang's head, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. Wan Shufang nodded vigorously and pulled him to find an inn. Knowing that Wan Shufang liked the hustle and bustle, Chen Changli did not delay.
The two men didn't walk far before they saw an inn and walked in quickly.
"Two distinguished guests, please come inside!"
The waiter had a flattering smile on his face. He bowed and welcomed the two people in. Chen Changli walked straight to the counter and took out a silver ingot: "Waiter, I want a superior room."
"Okay, how many days will you stay?"
"Don't remember the date for now. I'll tell you when you leave. When you don't have enough money, just come to us for it." Chen Changli's tone was light, but his words made the waiter very excited. He hadn't seen such a big customer for a long time.
He immediately smiled, wrote down the account for Chen Changli, and led people upstairs.
"Sir, this is your room."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome. If you need any help, you can always call me."
As he spoke, the waiter saw Chen Changli waving his hand and tactfully retreated, returning to the counter to take care of his own business. After the people left, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang pushed open the door.
After walking into the room and looking it up and down, they made sure there was no danger before they put their things away with peace of mind. Through the window, Wan Shufang saw the hustle and bustle outside and couldn't help but pester Chen Changli.
"Chen Changli, are you ready? Let's go out for a walk, otherwise the market will be over soon." She pulled Chen Changli's arm and shook it, looking like a coquettish person, which made Chen Changli feel helpless.
"Okay, let's go. We'll pick up the rest when we get back."
He held Wan Shufang's hand, and they left the room and walked out of the inn. Wan Shufang completely let herself go, looking left and right along the way, and her bright smile almost dazzled Chen Changli's eyes.
"You've seen all these things, why do you still like to go shopping so much?" His tone was a little helpless. He reached out and gently stroked her forehead, and tidied up the loose hair on Wan Shufang's temples.
"I just like this lively atmosphere. Otherwise, what would I not have in my closet?"
Wan Shufang smiled at Chen Changli, shook off his hand, and continued shopping. It was true that she was now the wife of a duke, and her status and position were very different from when she first came here. There were piles of gold, silver and jewelry in the cabinet.
I still like shopping, just because I like the hustle and bustle.
Seeing a rouge shop ahead, Wan Shufang put down the cloth in her hand and pulled Chen Changli into the shop: "Chen Changli, let's go buy some rouge and powder."
"I finally have some free time, so I'll just dress up."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them had already stood in the rouge shop. Wan Shufang walked around and picked up a lot of things and put them in front of the counter: "Boss, I want all of these. How much are they?"
"Hey, sir, you have good taste. These are the best rouges in our shop. They cost ten taels of silver in total."
After hearing this, Chen Changli was stunned when he took out the money. He rolled his eyes and whispered, "It's too expensive. Boss, please make it cheaper. Eight taels."
"Sir, you can't say that. Our products are of good quality and we don't bargain."
"Eight taels." Chen Changli's face was serious as he bargained with the shop owner. This look made Wan Shufang unconsciously recall some past events.
Her eyes curved, and she couldn't hold back her smile, so she could only put out her hand to cover her lips. After a verbal argument between Chen Changli and the shop owner, they finally negotiated the price down to nine taels.
"Hey, you are really unreasonable. I have already lost money. Nine taels is nine taels. I'll give it to you."
Chen Changli was very satisfied. When the shop owner sighed, he still put ten taels of silver on the counter and said, "Thank you very much. I wish you a prosperous business."
"If everyone haggles, I'll go bankrupt."
The boss fiddled with the abacus, dejectedly, and reached out to take the silver, but found it was ten taels. He raised his head, but Chen Changli and Wan Shufang had already walked away.
Only after leaving the Rouge Shop far behind did Wan Shufang burst out laughing and teased, "Chen Changli, why are you still so childish?"
He actually likes to bargain with others, but when it comes time to pay he will pay the price.
Hearing this, Chen Changli just smiled at Wan Shufang and didn't say anything.
The two continued walking, and soon they came across a candy shop. Wan Shufang stopped and looked at him with ill intent: "Chen Changli, can you make a candy man for me?"
Her eyes were frighteningly bright as she looked at him expectantly. He knew that she was deliberately making things difficult for him, but facing that look, Chen Changli still couldn't refuse and walked towards the candy figurine shop.
"Hey, are you really going?"
"Pinch a small thing for the lady, it's harmless."
As he said that, Chen Changli gave the shop owner some silver money, took his tools, and sat aside to make sugar figures with peace of mind, while the owner chattered on and on about giving him instructions.
Looking at the battle-hardened Chen Changli, who was seriously learning to make sugar figures with his boss, his movements were clumsy but his face was full of seriousness, Wan Shufang was very moved and she wished she could remember this scene forever.
She did not disturb him and waited quietly by the side. Time passed minute by minute. She didn't know how long he had been kneading. When Wan Shufang was yawning, Chen Changli finally kneaded a crooked rabbit.
