Shi Jingxiang didn't have breakfast and was really hungry.
Smelling the aroma of fish balls, Shi Jingxiang nodded, and Long Chen held Shi Jingxiang's arm and sat down in the alley.
The boss immediately came over and asked: "Two officials, madam, do you want a big bowl or a small bowl?"
Long Chen said: "Have a big bowl."
The boss smiled and responded: "Okay, please wait a moment."
Shi Jingxiang asked: "Don't you want to eat?"
Long Chen smiled and did not answer.
Soon the boss brought a large bowl of fish ball soup and said, "These are fish balls made from live fish in Yuan Xiao Valley. They are the freshest fish balls in Xifeng City. You can try them."
After putting down the fish ball soup, Long Chen picked up the spoon, scooped up a fish ball, blew it, and brought it to Shi Jingxiang's mouth.
Shi Jingxiang was a little embarrassed. She reached out to take the spoon and said, "I'll do it myself."
Long Chen took back the spoon and said with a smile: "Be good, open your mouth."
Shi Jingxiang slowly opened her mouth, and Long Chen put the fish ball into his mouth.
"Is it tasty?"
Shi Jingxiang ate one, nodded slightly and said, "It's delicious, you should try it too."
Long Chen tasted one himself, nodded and said: "It's really delicious, you can eat another one."
Scooping up one, Shi Jingxiang ate it happily.
The boss looked at Long Chen feeding and said with a smile: "Sir, you just got married, right?"
Shi Jingxiang looked a little embarrassed, Long Chen smiled and said: "Yes, we just got married not long ago."
The boss smiled and continued working.
After finishing the fish ball soup, Long Chen placed a gold coin on the table.
When the boss saw the gold coins, Long Chen had already left.
"Oh, this groom, is he so generous?"
The boss carefully hid the gold coins close to his body. This was the first time he met such a wealthy guest.
Shi Jingxiang held Long Chen's hand and walked briskly to look around.
"I want to see that."
Shi Jingxiang saw that a jewelry store was very busy and wanted to go and have a look.
Long Chen accompanied Shi Jingxiang into the jewelry store. There were many gold and silver jewelry on the cabinet, as well as many gems from the Western Regions.
"Sir, what do you want to buy?"
A rich woman came over and asked with a smile.
Looking at the clothes Long Chen and Shi Jingxiang wore, they looked like rich people, and the woman smiled particularly enthusiastically.
"Let's take a look first."
Long Chen smiled and responded casually.
"This lady is so beautiful, and this pair of gold and jade jewelry matches her."
The woman picked up a pair of gold jewelry inlaid with mutton-fat jade and brought it to Long Chen.
Long Chen didn't answer and said with a smile: "I didn't buy it."
The woman immediately smiled and said to Shi Jingxiang: "Madam, this jewelry suits you."
Shi Jingxiang ignored it and picked slowly.
"Does it look good?"
Shi Jingxiang picked up a hairpin decorated with kingfisher feathers, inserted it into her hair, and turned to ask Long Chen.
Shi Jingxiang was born in Xixia and is suitable for more colorful jewelry.
"Well, it looks good."
Long Chen nodded seriously, but Shi Jingxiang pouted and said, "Liar."
Putting down the green feather hairpin, Shi Jingxiang picked a few more. Long Chen thought each one was pretty, but Shi Jingxiang didn't take a fancy to them.
"What is this? It's pretty."
Shi Jingxiang picked up a blood-red hairpin, which was very simple. It was about a foot long, a little thicker than chopsticks, and looked like a glass rod.
"I want this."
Shi Jingxiang picked up the hairpin and put it in her hair, looked at the mirror in the store and felt very satisfied.
"Does it look good?"
Shi Jingxiang asked Long Chen. Long Chen looked at the hairpin carefully and felt it was very strange.
"Very good, why haven't I seen it before?"
When the wealthy woman saw Shi Jingxiang picking this up, a look of disdain immediately appeared on her face.
"Madam, that's a stone hairpin from Nanliang. It's half a tael of silver. It's a bargain."
I thought Long Chen was a rich man, but I didn't expect to end up settling on something cheap.
She wondered if Long Chen and Shi Jingxiang were pretending to be rich.
"That's it!"
Shi Jingxiang grew up in the palace and saw a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. For her, this stone hairpin was the best.
Long Chen threw a gold coin on the counter. Seeing Long Chen's generous move, the wealthy woman's face immediately changed and she said happily: "My lady has unique eyesight. This comes from Lihuo Island in Nanliang. It is very rare. Most people still don't know it."
Can’t see the benefit of it.”
Leaving Fire Island?
Long Chen seemed to have heard of it, but couldn't remember clearly.
Long Chen ignored the wealthy woman and left the jewelry store holding Shi Jingxiang's hand. The two of them strolled on the street until the sun set in the afternoon before returning to the yard.
Shi Jing held Long Chen's arm sweetly and asked some things about the capital and Long Chen's childhood experience.
"Sir, General Xiang, dinner is ready."
"No, we've already eaten."
Long Chen took Shi Jingxiang back to the room and sat down. Shi Jingxiang fell on the bed, playing with the stone hairpin in his hand.
"This hairpin is so special. It has a special feeling when you hold it in your hand."
Long Chen lay next to it and took a closer look. It felt different, as if there was blood flowing inside.
"I'm going to Xingqing City tomorrow. If I can't come over during these times, you can go out for a walk by yourself."
Long Chen put the stone hairpin aside, hugged Shi Jingxiang and said.
Shi Jingxiang lay in his arms and said without asking any more questions: "Okay."
Going to Xingqing City must be for fighting, Shi Jingxiang was too lazy to ask.
"Are you tired?"
Long Chen untied Shi Jingxiang's belt and reached inside.
Shi Jingxiang's skin is not white, but it is very smooth and feels very good.
"Um..."
Shi Jingxiang avoided Long Chen's hand and said softly: "Sleep well and don't move your hands or feet."
After a day, Shi Jingxiang felt a little shy.
This shows that there is emotion.
The reason why she did crazy things before was not because Shi Jingxiang liked Long Chen, but precisely because she had no feelings for Long Chen and purely used it as a way to vent her emotions.
Now that she has developed some feelings, Shi Jingxiang is now shy.
Long Chen didn't insist anymore, he just hugged Shi Jingxiang and did nothing.
When he woke up the next morning, he found that Shi Jingxiang's saliva had wet the clothes on Long Chen's chest.
"You're such an adult, do you drool while sleeping?"
Long Chen found it funny.
Hearing laughter, Shi Jingxiang woke up, looked at his drooling, and said sheepishly: "Your problem is none of my business."
Long Chen smiled and said: "You blame me for the other water monsters and saliva?"
Shi Jingxiang complained softly: "It's you, it's all your fault."
Hearing the sound, the servant came in with water to wash up.
He didn't take off his clothes when he went to bed last night and still wore his socks. Long Chen watched Shi Jingxiang finish washing up and said, "I'll leave first. There are still things at Zhenguo Temple."
Shi Jingxiang stood up and said, "Go ahead."
Long Chen walked out, Shi Jingxiang was sent to the door, and a servant led the horse over. Long Chen got on the horse and left Xifeng City, returning to Zhenguo Temple.
As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, they saw Bai Tingting sitting on the stone lion. She looked at Long Chen and asked, "Master Wu Wang, where have you been? You haven't returned home for two nights?"
Long Chen's face didn't change, and he said angrily: "I went to investigate some things, where is Old Wu?"
Bai Tingting jumped down, put her arm around Long Chen's shoulders, and asked slyly: "Check or insert?"
Long Chen frowned and said with a tsk: "Tingting, you are a lady among us, when did you become so wretched?"
"Find Lao Wu over here. I'm going to Xixia today. I've been really checking out the details for the past two days."
Bai Tingting finally believed it and said, "Right away."
Long Chen returned to the room. Not long after, Wu Jian entered the room, followed by Bai Tingting.
After closing the door, Wu Jian sat down and Bai Tingting stood next to Long Chen.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
Wu Jian poured a bowl of water and drank it. It was really hot outside.
Long Chen said: "I am going to Xixia. You can stay here and tell others that I am practicing in seclusion."
"Over there in Yangcheng, even though Shi Le and Kong Ji Lao Ballu are only defending but not attacking, we must be prepared for their surprise attack and don't be careless."
Wu Jian put down the water bowl and asked, "When will you set off, sir?"
