Looking secretly at Mai Mai, who was in a bad mood, Ah Shang winked at the white-clothed saints beside him. They nodded in understanding, and then stood on both sides of Mai Mai, "Dragon Girl, let's go shopping."
"You guys go shopping," Mai Mai forced a smile, "I think..."
Liujiu, who had the most evil ideas among the saints, deliberately said in disappointment, "Our duty is to protect the Dragon Girl. If the Dragon Girl doesn't go, how can we go?"
The calm and wise Xinye on the other side immediately said cooperatively, "Hey, forget it, let's go back to the palace."
Xiao Yao, a well-behaved and cute petite woman behind her, immediately wailed exaggeratedly, "Dragon Girl, it's so rare to leave the palace, I don't want to go back." Through this period of contact, their relationship has already surpassed that of master and servant. Her easy-going
She has won the love of these saints, and everyone sincerely likes this dragon girl.
Mai Mai looked at the singing of these people in a funny way. How could she not understand their good intentions? She lightly scratched the noses of several people and said, "Okay, we won't go back to the palace yet, let's go for a walk."
Ah Shang and others exchanged glances and followed Mai Mai happily.
Although the weather is getting colder, the streets are still bustling with pedestrians, hawkers, jugglers, and hagglers. These girls, who have lived in the palace for a long time, see everything is new, and they visit their favorite stalls in twos and threes. But they are wary.
There was no relaxation at all. No matter how much I wandered around, I was never eight steps away from Mai Mai. A Shang, Liu Jiu, Xin Ye and Xiao Yao were never far away from each other.
Although it is rare to see the Dragon Girl, you can't put aside business and just look at her. Therefore, after everyone is over the novelty and excitement, they still have to do what they should do. After all, they also need to make a living.
"Wow, this bracelet is so beautiful!" Ashang glanced at a royal concubine bracelet, which was unique and charming. He picked it up and played with it fondly.
"Boss, I bought it." Mai Mai handed over a broken piece of silver, then smiled at Ashang, "I haven't given you a gift yet."
"Wow, Miss, Ah Shang loves you so much." Ah Shang happily put away the bracelet, "Thank you, Miss, for the reward."
"nice! You love it."
Inadvertently, her eyes fell on an ordinary jade bracelet. It looked like it was made of jade, but its dull appearance was not eye-catching at all. But for some reason, Mai Mai was attracted to it.
Notice.
The boss was very discerning. He followed Mai Mai's gaze and saw the bracelet in the corner, and said with a smile, "Dragon Girl really knows her stuff. This bracelet is called the Acacia Bracelet, and it has a beautiful legend."
"Oh?" Mai Mai became interested, "Tell me and listen."
"Legend has it that, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you drop a drop of your sweetheart's blood on it, the lovesickness bracelet will immediately become crystal clear. Until the moment your sweetheart passes away, it will be as dull as it is now. As the name suggests, it is called the lovesickness bracelet.
After saying that, the boss waved his hands in disbelief, "I don't even dare to talk nonsense about Dragon Girl. This is just a legend and cannot be fully believed."
Can "Acacia Bracelet..." really hold two people together until death?
"Boss, I bought it."
When Mai Mai was lost in thought, the lovesickness bracelet was already in the hand of a man in black shirt, who was about to hand over the silver as he spoke.
Is it him? The man from Xuanfa Temple.
That beard and those pair of bright and deep eyes seemed to be stationed in her mind, leaving a deep impression.
The boss looked at Mai Mai with some embarrassment. After all, it was Long Nu who took a fancy to it first, and he has not accepted the money.
"What? You don't want to sell it?" The man's voice was very magnetic and calm.
Mai Mai saw the boss's hesitation and smiled at him, "Boss, sell it to him." Even though she said this, her eyes still passed by with some nostalgia, "The lovesickness bracelet should be owned by someone who understands it." She said.
I don’t know if this legend is true, I just think it is so beautiful. Sometimes the thing itself does not have much value, but the metaphor attached to it is more fascinating.
It was just in her mind that she missed it. Maybe she really had no fate with this lovesickness bracelet.
Just like her and him.
The boss smiled apologetically at Mai Mai, then took the silver from the man's hand and handed the bracelet to him.
The man took it into his arms, turned around and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I don't mean to argue with the lady. I just like this legend very much and want to buy it for my sweetheart." He spoke slowly and slowly, a little softly.
It's a bit floating. Before you know it, it's like you're being transported to a quiet world he created.
Mai Mai smiled and said sincerely, "It doesn't matter, it... was never meant for me." She raised her head and looked at him, "It is worthy of two people who love each other."
The man smiled meaningfully. Although his appearance could not be clearly seen, one could tell from the outline of his face that he was a very handsome man.
"Thank you." After saying that, he stopped looking at her and turned around to squeeze into the crowd.
Xin Ye glanced at it and saw that Mai Mai was also interested in this lovesickness bracelet. He stepped forward and whispered in her ear, "Ms. Dragon Girl, do you want me to discuss with this young master and ask him to give it to you?"
"What are we discussing? Just order him to give it to Lady Longnu." Xiao Yao had already touched the sword at his waist, looking eager to try.
Liujiu looked at the man walking further and further away and said anxiously, "Should I chase him or not?"
"Forget it," Mai Mai waved his hand nonchalantly, "Let's go on shopping in our store." Turning around and leaving the stall, the three of them had no choice but to follow them in disbelief. Ashang didn't say a word and walked behind him with his head lowered.
After taking just a few steps, Mai Mai stopped without warning and looked back at the tall black figure. His shadow had long since disappeared in the crowd.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front of the market, and the saints immediately returned to Mai Mai. They surrounded her and stared at the front with cold eyes.
"Where is the Dragon Girl? Which one is the Dragon Girl? Let us sisters also see it." A sharp shout broke through the noise of the crowd of onlookers. The tone was quite disdainful.
The harsh sound made Mai Mai frown slightly. If she guessed correctly, it was another trick of those people. She had no intention of arguing about anything and had no intention of robbing her, but obviously the other party didn't think so.
More than a dozen women in gorgeous clothes and heavy makeup came to them aggressively. The leader was a woman who was about thirty years old and still had charm.
Seeing Mai Mai being guarded by the saint in white, she immediately pinched her waist with both hands and shouted at the top of her voice, "Are you the Dragon Girl? Huh, how did we offend you? Why did someone seal off our brothel!"
Mentioning this, the people behind them all shouted angrily, "That's right! The Dragon Girl is amazing? Why do you look down on us brothel girls?"
"Why are you pretending to be noble? Who doesn't know that you were divorced by King Qing for stealing a man?"
For a moment, obscene words were poured out from the mouths of these women. They didn’t care whether they were dragon girls or not. No one wanted to make their lives miserable! More and more people gathered around them, and they all
Pointing at these two beautiful women.
"Damn it!" Liujiu rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward, but was held back by the calm Xinye, "Don't be impulsive, there are people around, we can't take action!"
"That's right," Ah Shang said, although his face was full of anger and he wanted to rush forward and tear those women's mouths apart, but he still had to take into account the identity of the dragon girl.
In the teahouse facing the street, Mrs. Mei was drinking tea comfortably and leisurely, looking down at Mai Mai and others who were scolded by the brothel women. Opposite them, the gorgeous Mrs. Jie glanced proudly, and then laughed sarcastically.
He said, "It's now time. Let's see what use she has to pretending to be aloof!"
Mrs. Mei did not answer her, but just stared at the quiet woman with an unchanging expression. She was scolded like this, but she seemed to have nothing to do with her. She was calm and composed.
Lan Xuanyun is indeed qualified to be her opponent.
Mrs. Jie tapped her bright red nails on the table, raised her charming eyes and glanced at the silent Mrs. Mei, "I never expected that you would come to me."
Looking back, he smiled calmly and said, "Why don't I help you achieve what you want? You should thank me."
"Humph," Mrs. Jie snorted disdainfully, "We all have the same goal, why do we think we are so great? I don't believe it. You don't want to put her to death and monopolize the king?" In the past, maybe she would still believe it.
, but now, she has finally seen Mrs. Mei’s insidiousness. Sure enough, biting dogs never bark!
Mrs. Mei didn't take it seriously and turned her gaze back down, "The women in the entertainment scene are really amazing. It's no wonder that I found someone to seal their brothel."
Mrs. Jie rolled her eyes and asked tentatively, "Speaking of this, who did you find to do it? Ordinary officials don't have the guts to seal the building in Jiangcheng, and they keep saying that they got the Dragon Girl.
Order?"
His clear eyes were slightly cold, and he shot at her without any warmth, "You should know, I will tell you naturally. Otherwise, just do what I tell you." Don't be angry, the intimidation from a woman,
Not inferior to the indifference of men.
Staring at her hatefully, she stopped talking. Mrs. Jie knew very well that Mrs. Mei was a shrewd and scheming woman. The reason why she was able to redeem her from the brothel was naturally because of her usefulness. Now,
Her goal is the dragon girl who is loved by everyone! She wants to keep her away from King Qing completely. Maybe, she will have the possibility of returning to King Qing.
Down below, the brothel girls were still yelling and cursing, "We are on the same page with you, but you have people seal off our building and cut off our livelihood! Are there any dragon girls like you? Don't fight.
With the backing of King Zhao and King Qing, we common people are afraid of you! You look down on us as a businessman, and we also look down on you for hooking up with men! At least, we sisters are all open and above board for selling!"
The dozens of white-clothed saints were all filled with righteous indignation, and the swords in their hands were tightened. But after all, they did not belong to the government. Even if the Dragon Girl was respected, she was still a half-Buddhist. They could teach these women a lesson.
, but if you give the truth, you will lose more than you gain.
