The red building is so arrogant

After exiting the alley, the speed of the bicycle naturally slowed down to avoid pedestrians and vehicles on the road.

Lin Daiyu heaved a sigh of relief, originally thinking about withdrawing the hand around Jiao Shun's waist, but then she thought again, if it is true as Jiao Shun said, getting familiar with him earlier would solve the problem, wouldn't she be the same Can we get out sooner?

So he gritted his teeth secretly and forcibly endured it.

The two of them roamed the streets and alleys of the capital like this. Whenever they passed by some special buildings and scenery, Jiao Shun would use his two long legs to support the bicycle, pointing and talking about the allusions behind those buildings and scenery. .

It wasn't until he passed the Bell and Drum Tower that he suddenly changed his routine, stopped the car, turned around and asked Daiyu with a smile: "You should be familiar with this Bell and Drum Tower, do you know what allusions are there?"

"The story of the Bell and Drum Tower?"

Lin Daiyu looked at the Bell and Drum Tower and said: "If you want to talk about the most famous allusion of the Bell and Drum Tower, it should be the Lady Zhuzhong, right?"

The Bell Casting Lady is a widely circulated story in the capital. It is said that when the Bell and Drum Tower was first built, there was no huge enough wall clock to match, so the emperor ordered skilled craftsmen to make a big bell weighing [-] jin.

However, the first clock to be cast failed.

The emperor was furious because of this, and strictly ordered the bell casting craftsmen to make a big bell that satisfied the court within three months, otherwise everyone would be killed.

As a result, the bell casting craftsmen cast and melted, but they still failed to make a satisfactory wall clock.

On the last day, when everyone thought that death was imminent, the master's daughter came to the bell-casting site, took advantage of her unpreparedness and jumped into the oven, offering herself as a sacrifice, and finally made the big bell complete.

Hearing Lin Daiyu tell this story briefly, Jiao Shun shook his head helplessly: "Actually, there are such stories all over the country, and people are fond of telling them from generation to generation, as if they are true—but in the end, they are just laymen. It is difficult to understand how these miraculous things are made, and I don’t want to admit that the wisdom and ability of the craftsman is stronger than myself, so I believe that this must be the work of greed.”

"So we made up all kinds of stories, and there are still three, six, and nine grades in it. For example, if it is a scholar who appears on the stage, it must be the guidance of wisdom; if it is the wife and daughter of a craftsman, then most of them can only be sacrificed in the flesh. "

"Hehe~ In any case, I just refuse to recognize the talents and achievements of the craftsmen!"

As he said that, he raised his finger and pointed to the roof of the building and said with great pride: "What I'm going to do right now is to pull down these bell-casting ladies, so that future generations will remember the people who really should be remembered!"

Lin Daiyu saw his vigorous appearance, but Jia Baoyu's "sound and smile" couldn't help appearing in her mind.

In the past, she always felt that men don't necessarily have to make contributions, and it's good to live a mediocre life, but now...

After experiencing the almost damage to her father's reputation, Lin Daiyu has a more real understanding of the word "rights". Although she does not become obsessed with profit because of this, but compared with Jiao Shun and Jia Baoyu, it is obvious that she is superior to others.

After leaving near the Bell and Drum Tower, Jiao Shun's forehead and temples were covered with sweat as he saw the hot weather.

He wiped it with his sleeve carelessly, then turned to Lin Daiyu and said, "It's too hot today, why don't we find a place to rest first?"

Lin Daiyu naturally has no objections.

So Jiao found a tea stall by the way, and sat opposite Lin Daiyu in a secluded place.

When Dr. Tea brought the tea, Lin Daiyu was obviously displeased, and frowned as she looked at the floating tea stalks floating in the middle.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun simply poured down her bowl as well, then got up and said, "You wait here, I'll go shopping and I'll be back."

Lin Daiyu didn't even have time to react, so he strode towards the opposite side of the street.

When they were just two people, they didn't feel any better, but suddenly there was only her left, Lin Daiyu felt uncomfortable all over, as if everyone on the street was looking at her, and she couldn't seem to get anywhere.

After all, it was the first time for her to sit alone on the street with people coming and going, and thanks to her not being a cowardly person, she was able to sit there pretending nothing had happened.

But after just a moment of effort, sweat appeared on her palms and forehead.

Just like sitting on pins and needles, she saw Jiao Shun come back with big strides, Lin Daiyu subconsciously stood up to greet him as if she had been pardoned, and when she saw Jiao Shun was holding two bowls of jelly instead of the expected drink, Lin Daiyu He just frowned slightly, and was about to reach out to take one of the bowls.

Unexpectedly, Jiao Shun ignored her plain white hands at all, put the two bowls on the table, held the spoon and began to eat.

When he finished eating a bowl, he exchanged the empty bowl with another bowl of jelly, and explained to Lin Daiyu: "I loved this when I was a child, and at that time I thought that when I had money, I would open it up and eat it all at once. Serving two big bowls will be considered enjoyable!"

Lin Daiyu was annoyed, so she just looked at him coldly and remained silent.

"Hahaha~"

Unexpectedly, Jiao Shun burst out laughing suddenly, then got up and walked outside the tea stand.

Lin Daiyu's heart suddenly raised her throat again, thinking that Jiao Shun was going to leave again.

In the end, Jiao Shun took out a bucket-shaped snack box from the front basket, folded it back, and put it in front of Lin Daiyu with a smile, then twisted the lid and said: "Your body is really weak, the more hot you are Don't dare to eat more cold food, otherwise the outside heat will be sharp and the inside cold, I'm afraid I will fall ill when I go back."

As he spoke, he opened the lid: "Hey, after I went back yesterday, I specially ordered someone to stew the Pork Bone Shage Soup in advance. Ninety-nine percent of it is oily, and it is also very good to moisten the throat."

It was only then that Lin Daiyu realized that he was teasing her on purpose just now, first she rolled her eyes angrily, looked down at the still steaming pork bone Shage Soup, and immediately thanked her muffled.

After Jiao Shun finished eating the jelly, and she had almost used it up, she took out a handkerchief and gracefully wiped off the wet marks on the corners of her lips.

Folding the handkerchief again, she was about to put it close to her body when she suddenly saw a big hand spread out in front of her.

"Lend it to me."

Jiao Shun complained: "I was too busy to bring you soup, but I forgot to take the handkerchief when I went out."

Thinking of seeing him wipe sweat with his sleeve several times along the way, Lin Daiyu didn't doubt this, so she hesitated a little, and handed over the handkerchief.

Jiao Shun wiped his mouth casually, then stuffed the handkerchief into his sleeve, then got up and said: "Let's go, I saw a lot of vendors over there just now, I'll take you there for a stroll."

Because Lin Daiyu was veiled by him, she was pouted in a bad mood and wanted to sing a few words of disapproval, but Jiao Shun had already walked out of the tea stand without hesitation.

Thinking of the uneasy feeling when she stayed here alone just now, Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth and hurriedly followed out.

The two turned the corner and came to a noisy place.

There are almost all kinds of stalls on both sides of the road, and there is an endless stream of hawking and shouting.

Lin Daiyu originally disliked the mess here, but Jiao Shun dragged her to look at a few strange places, and gradually forgot whether it was dirty or not, and even took the initiative to stop in front of a sugar blower stall.

Because she fell in love with one of the candy figurines, she was hesitating whether to ask Jiao Shun to borrow money to buy it, when she saw Jiao Shun pointing to a jar on the wheelbarrow and asking: "Is this sugar syrup in here? Come, get us some first." Money!"

When the peddler saw the big customer coming, he quickly responded with a smile on his face, and then used two half-foot-long sorghum stalks to roll up a ball the size of a fist, and was about to hand it to Jiao Shun.

"Give it to her, give it to her."

Jiao Shun pointed at Lin Daiyu who was beside him.

The peddler saw that this was not an ordinary female family member, and carefully handed the syrup over, and pinched the middle part with two fingers, so that Lin Daiyu could pick it up.

Lin Daiyu gave Jiao Shun a sideways look, but out of curiosity she still took the confectionary syrup, and held it up to the front of the veil to look at it carefully, who knew that the confectionary syrup, which was still very cute in the hands of the peddler, suddenly collapsed!
"What, what should I do?!"

Lin Daiyu panicked all of a sudden, holding the syrup like a bomb.

"Don't panic, watch me!"

At this moment, Jiao Shun strode forward, squatted halfway, raised his head to the sky, opened his mouth wide, and caught the falling syrup.

Lin Daiyu just breathed a sigh of relief, when Jiao Shun said vaguely, "Don't move, your hands are also stained."

Before Lin Daiyu could react, there was a warm, rough and moist touch on the back of her fingers.

"you you!"

Faced with such a thing in public, Lin Daiyu was ashamed and annoyed, wishing she could poke Jiao Shun's face with two sorghum stalks together with the syrup on them.

But thinking about yesterday afternoon, he had already had an even more unspeakable experience, and now it seemed unreasonable to worry about the matter at hand.

Finally, she gritted her silver teeth with a blushing face, stuffed the syrup in her hand to Jiao Shun, turned around and walked forward quickly.

I thought that Jiao Shun would definitely catch up, but Lin Daiyu went all the way, but Jiao Shun did not catch up.

She gradually hesitated in her footsteps, first she turned her head slightly, and then simply turned around to look behind her, but how could Jiao Shun be seen on that busy street?
Lin Daiyu panicked all of a sudden, the burning feeling she felt when she was at the tea stand came back again, and this time it was obviously much stronger.

"Brother Jiao, Brother Jiao, Brother Jiao? Brother Jiao?!"

At the beginning, she just called out in a low voice, but seeing that there was no response, she unconsciously raised her voice a lot.

As a result, it really attracted a lot of curious eyes.

Now Lin Daiyu was a little bit stuck, she wanted to continue calling but felt shy, so don't call, if she couldn't find Jiao Shun, she might not even be able to find the way back.

"Here it is!"

At this time, Jiao Shun's voice came to his ears like the sound of heaven.

Lin Daiyu suddenly turned around and followed the prestige, only to see that Jiao Shun was stirring the syrup in his hand, and at the same time leading a shop waiter to rush this way—the shop waiter was holding hot water and a towel on the second hand.

"Wash your hands."

Jiao Shun winked at her, and jokingly said, "I can't lick that clean."

Hearing that he dared to bring up the matter just now, Lin Daiyu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help becoming annoyed again, stomping her feet and about to turn around, but her eyes were locked on the basin of clear water and couldn't be pulled out.

In the end, with a sullen face, he still washed carefully.

Dang bang~
Just as Lin Daiyu dried her hands with a brand new towel, Jiao threw a silver dime into the basin by the way, then ignored the thankful waiter and beckoned Lin Daiyu to continue walking into the alley.

Although this incident made Lin Daiyu feel ashamed and annoyed, she obviously let go a lot after that, and gradually dared to take the initiative to buy things with others—of course, she still has to deal with the advanced skills of bargaining for a while. Unattainable.

Because Jiao Shun was busy stirring the syrup and didn't take the initiative to act as a beast of burden, Lin Daiyu, who turned into a money-scattering boy, soon reaped the consequences of herself, and her body was covered with various objects.

In just ten minutes or so, she felt sweaty on her forehead and panted slightly. First, she regretted that she shouldn't have bought so many things, and then she regretted that she didn't bring the towel because it was too poor.

Of course, what annoyed her the most was that shady Jiao!
But even so, Lin Daiyu still gritted her teeth and struggled, neither turning to Jiao Shun for help, nor giving up on anything.

After walking like this for another 5 minutes, seeing that she was about to be overwhelmed, Jiao Shun called a group of children with a smile, and asked them to line up in order from young to old, each of them chose a gift from Lin Daiyu, and then said A 'thank you big sister'.

The things were distributed out soon, and seeing the children cheering with their presents, Lin Daiyu unconsciously smiled under the veil, and most of the dissatisfaction just now disappeared.

"Do you want to try it?"

At this time, Jiao Shun suddenly brought a sorghum stalk in front of her: "It's much more delicious than ordinary caramel."

Lin Daiyu took a closer look, only to find that the original brown-red syrup had been turned into ivory white by Jiao Shun at some point.

Lin Daiyu originally wanted to decline, but she changed her mind when she thought that Jiao Shun was deliberately making fun of her just now, and first took the syrup from Jiao Shun, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly threw another sorghum stalk into the mouth. He snatched it away, stuffed it into his mouth, and cleaned it up.

After spitting out the empty sorghum stalks, she looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, then raised her veil and smiled triumphantly.

But Jiao Shun leaned his upper body forward slightly, and said with burning eyes: "You still have some stains on the corner of your mouth."

Lin Daiyu remembered the previous incident, her face paled for a moment, she quickly covered her mouth and backed away.

"Hahaha~ I'm just kidding."

Jiao Shun laughed, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to another place."

Lin Daiyu heaved a sigh of relief, and followed behind him step by step. For some reason, there was a hint of joy in her gait.

To be honest, Jiao Shun's performance this morning was quite different from her expected gentle and considerate image. Thinking about it, she even teased herself most of the time, but it was surprisingly not annoying.

If it wasn't for the experience yesterday afternoon, Lin Daiyu might not have really gotten close to him...
