"You know it yourself whether you are in the same group or not."
Cold words spat out from the thin lips of the girl named "Xiaodie", mixed with disgust for men.
Even though the two were good childhood friends and childhood sweethearts, the warm memories had long since faded into strange, cold black and white in this noisy market.
The enthusiasm in Wen Wu's eyes dimmed.
He picked up an embroidered purse that was a little dirty on the ground, wiped it gently with his sleeve, and put it on the table.
"Really hate me?"
Wen Wu stared at the girl who lowered her head to tidy up the stall and asked softly.
The girl didn't say anything. She rearranged the messed up purses one by one and hung them like wind chimes. As for the dirty purse, she threw it on the ground again.
"I know you misunderstood me a lot, but actually..."
Wen Wu moved his lips, but in the end silence replaced the truth lingering in his heart.
The girl said calmly: "There's nothing I hate or hate, everyone has their own choice. It's just that Brother Xiao Wu in my heart is dead, and the Xiaodie in your memory is also dead."
"That's right. After all, we haven't seen each other for nine years, and we don't even know what's going on in each other's lives."
Wen Wu forced a smile.
Just as he was about to say something else, a young man and woman came to the stall and looked at the beautifully embroidered purses with great interest.
"Boss, what is the spice in this bag mixed with?"
The guest asked, pointing to a purse.
Seeing business coming to her door, the girl's stern face showed a smile and she quickly introduced, "Hello, the spices in this bag are made of calamus, patchouli, Perrin, Chuanxiong..."
Wen Wu was pushed aside and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
He turned his head as if sensing something and saw Li Nanke looking at them with interest in front of a jewelry stall not far away, like a person enjoying gossip and eating melons.
Wen Wu cursed in a low voice and prepared to say goodbye to the girl.
But he saw that the other party was chatting happily with the guests, so he didn't say anything more and left silently. Before leaving, he picked up the purse that the other party had thrown on the ground and put it on the table.
The girl who was explaining the effects of spices to the guests turned her head and looked at the man's lonely back with complicated eyes.
After the customer finished shopping and left, a new customer came to the stall.
"Sir, do you want to buy a purse?"
The girl looked at the handsome man with deep features and clear outlines in front of her and showed a very professional smile.
Li Nanke asked: "Did you do all this yourself?"
"Well, I made them all myself. If you like other patterns and styles, I can also customize them for you, including the blending of spices," the girl said.
"Good."
Li Nanke picked up a purse embroidered with plum blossom patterns, looked at it, and suddenly asked, "Have we met before?"
The girl was stunned, looked at the man carefully, shook her head and said, "No, I have no impression of the young master."
"Oh, that's why I saw it wrong."
Li Nanke smiled apologetically and focused on the stall. After carefully selecting, he took three embroidery purses and said, "Just these three. How much are they in total?"
"Three?" The girl was a little surprised.
"No?"
"That's not true, I'm just curious whether the young master wants to give it to the madam or..." The girl couldn't help but gossip.
"There are too many daughters-in-law, so there is nothing I can do about it."
Li Nanke smiled, then suddenly thought of something, and picked three more bags from the stall, "I'll buy six."
…………
When I got home, the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen hit my nostrils.
Li Nanke kicked Sister Goose lying on the shore into the water, and when he came to the kitchen door, he saw a bright red color, like the beautiful sunset painted on the sky.
"Whatever you are doing stupidly, help me when you get here."
Yu Hongye saw the man standing at the door and pointed at a carp on the chopping board, "Hurry up and deal with it. My sister will make you a sweet and sour carp tonight."
"Madam and Night Fairy went out again?"
Li Nanke rolled up his sleeves and asked while washing his hands.
"Yes, your wife dislikes you for a short period of time and doesn't want you anymore. I can only stay and take care of you."
Yu Hongye put the fried tofu into the plate, picked up a piece with her jade fingers and handed it to the man's mouth, saying with a smile, "But don't worry, sister will let you experience the joy of being a man."
Li Nanke ignored the other party's nonsense and opened his mouth to bite the tofu. His lips inevitably touched the woman's soft, onion-like fingers, and there seemed to be a different kind of aroma left between his teeth.
"Is it tasty?"
Yu Hongye smiled, but she didn't know who she was asking about.
"It is ok."
Li Nanke responded casually, picked up the kitchen knife and started processing the fresh fish he bought.
"It's okay?" Yu Hongye's Qingmei's face showed displeasure. She picked up a piece of tofu on the plate and tasted it, and said, "Sister, my tofu is much more delicious than your wife's."
Seeing that the man stopped paying attention to her, Yu Hongye came close to him and smelled her, "It smells so good. Which girl are you dating again?"
Li Nanke remained silent.
"Why are you pretending to be serious in front of me?" Yu Hongye curled her red lips and continued cooking.
"Is there any movement over Li Donghai?" Li Nanke asked.
"No."
"Really not?"
"How about you go monitor it yourself?"
Yu Hongye said dissatisfied, "I've been following you almost all day. Except for meeting the maid next to the prefect's concubine yesterday, that guy has never done anything else."
Li Nanke's eyes flickered, "This guy can't be so calm."
"Then it must be something happening at night." Yu Hongye said, "But I won't run to help you monitor at night."
"That's enough during the day."
Li Nanke pursed his lips into a smile, "With Li Donghai's suspicious personality, he must have thought that someone was watching him at night. So, on the contrary, he is the most honest at night."
"That makes sense."
The woman nodded slightly.
After the fish was processed, Yu Hongye dismissed the boring man impatiently, "Let's go, you are not needed here. Take your prudery and go sleep with your sister Goose."
"Really don't need it?"
"roll."
Li Nanke wiped his hands, took out a large red exquisite purse embroidered with a phoenix and handed it to the woman, "This gift for you is a small reward for spying on Li Donghai for me these two days."
Yu Hongye stopped her hand and looked at the purse in the other person's hand in astonishment. After being stunned for a while, the corners of the woman's lips curved into a beautiful curve little by little.
"You're showing your fox tail, right? Let me tell you, how can a person like you continue to be serious and finally want to take down my sister?"
"Do you want love?"
Li Nanke turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by the woman.
Yu Hongye took the purse from the man's hand, put it on her red lips and kissed it, with a bright smile, "Thank you, young man, for giving me a gift on my birthday. You are the first man to give me a gift, sister.
It’s very exciting.”
Birthday?
Li Nanke looked suspicious, "Really."
"What's wrong with this?" Yu Hongye put her purse away.
Li Nanke was silent for a few seconds, looked directly into the woman's beautiful eyes and said, "Then I wish you a happy birthday."
"Thanks."
The charming beauty with a charming smile suddenly came closer, stood on tiptoes and leaned close to the man's ear, and whispered, "I will keep it close to my heart forever."
The warm and moist scent of a woman tickled his ears, but it caused a faint ripple in the man's heart.
"Why do I feel that my heartbeat is a little faster?"
Yu Hongye looked at the other party with a half-smile, "Is it the same for you?"
At this moment, the sound of the courtyard door being pushed was faintly heard.
Before Li Nanke could push him away, the woman consciously took a step back, smiled and blinked, "Don't worry, young man, I won't tell your wife."
"It's okay, I bought a lot, and I plan to give one to each person."
Li Nanke looked indifferent.
"Yaoyao too?"
"Um."
"You're quite capable." Yu Hongye chuckled, "If you want to drag the fairy down to the mortal world, you don't have the ability yet."
"Why do you have to drag me down to the mortal world? I can go up."
Li Nanke said seriously.
Yu Hongye was stunned and gave a thumbs up, "I have an idea."
…………
After dinner, Li Nanke was not in a hurry to give away the remaining bags.
When his wife went back to her room to rest, Li Nanke took out a purse embroidered with mandarin ducks and gave it to her, "I went out shopping all day today and finally picked out a gift for you."
"Don't tell me, you bought it for other people too."
Luo Qianqiu took the purse and smiled with her phoenix eyes narrowed.
It is better to know your husband than your wife.
Li Nanke put on an affectionate expression and said slowly with a mellow magnetic voice: "This gift for you is unique."
"Then just buy it."
Luo Qianqiu would not be coaxed by the other party's sweet words, so she snorted coldly, but didn't care anymore.
She smelled her purse subconsciously, frowned and said, "The person who blends the spices is really good. He even added San Xiang Ming Hun Powder."
