Du Yiqing went shopping in the central market in the next few days, but saw that the number one jade shop in the world was closed. Cui Lu said that Zeng Lanjun had asked Jia Bucai to retire and return home.
In fact, after discovering such a big thing, it was not bad that Zeng Lanjun could ask Jia Bucai to resign and return home without pursuing any further investigation.
But...is the scumbag really so kind?
"Miss...tomorrow is the Queen's birthday, you...where is your gift?"
Cuilu couldn't help but become anxious when she saw Du Yiqing standing calmly in front of the old man making the candy, without blinking for almost half an hour.
If you have nothing to do, you might as well think about what to do with the queen! In addition to preparing red coral, the eldest lady and the eldest lady heard that there are many things... but my own lady has not prepared anything.
"Emerald, look at your skillful hands... they can hold them so lifelike..."
The old man making candy saw this lady standing in front of his stall for a long time, and his eyes were unabashedly filled with admiration. He usually set up a stall and had a low status. These noble ladies and young masters would never do this.
Stop for a moment, Du Yiqing stood for almost half an hour today...
"Little girl, if you like it, how about I make you a candy man just like you!?" the old man asked.
When Du Yiqing heard this, she immediately became very happy: "Master, then you can squeeze it!"
Emerald rolled her eyes, what's so good about this candy man... The key is to find the queen's gift.
But the lady was a lady after all. Seeing Du Yiqing's happy look, Cuilu had no choice but to remain silent.
The old man who made the candy man was very skillful in his hands. After a series of steps of blowing, pinching and pulling, a lifelike, playful and cute miniature version of Du Yiqing appeared in front of him.
"Ah, don't tell me, they really look alike...Miss, look, there's... on your face..." Cuilu swallowed back the last sentence. Calling her pockmarked in front of the lady, isn't that asking for death?
.
Du Yiqing was not angry and asked: "Old man, you are so good at your craftsmanship, you must make a lot of money in a day, right?"
"Oh, Miss, you really love to joke. I can barely make enough money to cover my belly this day..." The craftsmanship is there, but this thing doesn't make any money... Most of the people who come to buy it are children, so how much money can I have.
"Old man, let me ask you, if I asked you to make a portrait of the emperor and empress, would you dare?" Du Yiqing asked.
Cuilu pulled Du Yiqing in surprise and whispered: "Miss... what are you..."
Du Yiqing ignored Cuilu and just stared at the old man making candy in front of her.
The old man seemed to be hesitating. At this time, a voice from the side sounded: "Old man, go to the palace and make a candy man once. From now on, the children will not have to worry about new clothes... It's almost winter!"
It was Shangguan Yu who spoke. Du Yiqing wondered, did he also agree with his idea?
The old man who made the candy man saw Shangguan Yu and hurriedly knelt down: "The common people have seen the Third Prince! His Highness the Third Prince is a thousand years old!"
Du Yiqing was surprised. He turned back to look at Shangguan Yu. He was also curious about how this old man who made sweets in the market knew him.
"Do you know me?" Shangguan Yu asked.
The old man who pinched the candy man replied: "The third prince personally distributed free porridge twice before. The grassroots and grandson went there together... and met the prince twice!"
"Old man, you are here every day, but you still want to receive the free porridge?" Du Yiqing was confused.
These words seemed to speak of the sadness in the old man's heart. His eyes were a little dazed, and he replied with a bit of sadness: "This lady doesn't know, this is a despicable business, not to mention that the two sons in the family are from Northern Xinjiang."
Those who retreated from the border were injured and could not do their jobs...the daughter-in-law ran away, leaving behind two grandchildren...how could the whole family eat and drink?"
