Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 368 John, what a coincidence

Because they were thinking about meeting John, Hong Xiaoduo quickened their pace with Kaiyang after leaving the imperial study.

Eunuch Fu, who had escorted the two of them out, wanted to take this opportunity to chat with her, but she said, "Thank you, Eunuch Fu, for escorting me. See you tomorrow."

Standing in place, looking at the two people, one big and one small, going further and further away in his sight, and realizing his inexplicable sense of loss, Eunuch Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was already this old, had wasted years in the palace, had already accepted his fate, how could he still have greed!

In the palace, eunuchs like him, who are a bit older and have a certain status, would usually adopt godsons or daughters outside the palace.

It's not for anything else, I just hope that one day when I get old, there will be someone to take care of me after I leave the palace.

Of course, you didn't adopt this godson or godson for nothing. They will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life. So the savings you have accumulated as a slave in the palace for many years should be left to them.

Otherwise, why should others take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life?

Eunuch Fu has not yet recognized any godparents. Even though there were eunuchs in the palace who wanted to curry favor with him and want to recognize him as their godfather, he has never accepted any of them.

Because he knows clearly that this kind of godparents are only adopted for the sake of interests, and you can't expect any affection at all.

What’s the point of having a godparent like this?
He thought it through very clearly. When he got old and could no longer serve in the palace, he would buy a house and a servant outside. If he was healthy, he would live a few more years. Otherwise, he would spend some money to pick an auspicious day and drink a cup of Hedinghong, hoping to be reborn into a good family in the next life. He did not ask for a wealthy family, but at least he would not be sold into the palace to be a eunuch because of poverty.

He really liked this girl Hong Xiaoduo, but what was the point of liking her? The emperor couldn't keep her even with high-ranking officials, and he, an old eunuch who was looked down upon by others, wanted to become a relative with her and recognize her as his granddaughter? What a dream!

Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang hurried to the outside of the palace. Just as they arrived at the palace gate, the carriage of Fu'an Marquis's Mansion came over. "John is at the big market in Xiaoli Village outside the west city gate. I'll take you there." Mu Rongjing asked with a smile from inside the car window.

Hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo took Kaiyang to the carriage without saying a word. Kaiyang got up and leaned on the carriage window, shouting to the coachman in his house, asking him to drive the carriage back home.

The Wei mansion's coachman answered yes, and watched his young master being taken away by another family's carriage.

Alas, it's another day that I haven't received calls from my young master and Miss Hong. Fortunately, the master and his mistress, the young master and his mistress will not blame him for this.

Fortunately, the manager didn’t come with us today, otherwise he would have been nagging all the way.

However, the steward also said that this situation would not happen again after Miss Hong left the capital.

However, the master and his mistress did not seem to want Miss Hong to leave, but they could not keep her!

The coachman was driving an empty carriage, and now he was going back with an empty carriage, so he no longer had any psychological burden!

The driver of the Wei Mansion had a mood exactly opposite to that of the other driver. Hearing the laughter in the carriage, if he was not more afraid of the third young master, he would have really wanted to drive the carriage directly back to the mansion. The princess would surely be happy and praise him for his ability to do things.

"Prince, if you have something to do, you can go and take care of your own things. Kaiyang and I will go there by ourselves." In the carriage, Hong Xiaoduo was symbolically polite.

After saying that, he took a sugar-roasted chestnut from the coffee table, peeled it and stuffed it into Kaiyang's mouth.

The chestnuts were still steaming, with shiny shells. At the cracked cross, you could see the golden chestnut kernels, which exuded an enticing chestnut aroma. Kaiyang liked to eat them, but it was a little difficult for his little hands to peel them.

"I'm free." Mu Rongjing said as he started to peel chestnuts. After peeling them, he wanted to pass them to her, but he felt it was not appropriate. In the end, he passed the peeled chestnuts to Kaiyang's mouth.

Little Kaiyang was fed by the two of them and ate like a little squirrel.

Soon, the carriage stopped and a man who looked like an attendant came over and told them that someone was in front and was following them.

Hong Xiaoduo got off the carriage and looked at the stalls and the crowds that were winding and stretching into the distance not far away.

"How about you and Kaiyang wait here and I'll go in and bring the people over?" Mu Rongjing suggested when he saw how crowded the market was.

Hong Xiaoduo immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, it would be a shame if we don't go for a walk when it's so lively." After that, she took Kaiyang's hand and walked inside, and Mu Rongjing quickly followed.

Most of the people who come to this market are from nearby villages and towns, buying cotton cloth for the winter, repairing farm tools, selling firewood, poultry, and various bamboo and willow weavings...

The clothing, appearance and temperament of Hong Xiaoduo and the other two stood out among the crowd going to the market.

Mu Rongjing was initially worried about the crowds and that she and Kaiyang might bump into each other, but as she walked among them, she realized that she was worrying too much!

Passersby automatically gave way to the three of them when they saw them. It was obvious that they were dignitaries from the capital, so it would not hurt to stay away from them and be careful.

It would have been fine if pedestrians just avoided them, but when the vendors on both sides saw them, no one tried to sell to the three of them.

It's obvious that these people are from the powerful families in the capital who came out to watch the fun. They will not buy anything they are selling, so why waste your time and energy and make others despise you?

Mu Rongjing discovered that Hong Xiaoduo did not come here in a hurry to find the foreign envoy named John. She was really looking around at the goods that people were selling, such as chickens, ducks, geese, straw raincoats, cushions made of cattails, hot water bottles and so on.

When he saw someone selling a donkey, he told Kaiyang that it was a pity that Xiao Hui was not there, otherwise he would have let it choose a wife for itself.

I saw two people selling oxen, one big and one small, commenting on which ox had the prettiest eyelashes, which made both the seller and the buyer laugh.

At this time, Mu Rongjing saw the followers he had arranged to keep an eye on people, and also saw the person he was looking for, so he quickly told Hong Xiaoduo.

After saying that, Mu Rongjing was wondering how she would approach and talk to John. It wouldn't be like, "What a coincidence, we met here!"
The next moment, she walked towards John and said loudly, "Hi, John, what a coincidence, I met you here."

Mu Rongjing couldn't help but pause, she was really direct enough!
John, who was sitting at the noodle stall waiting for noodles, looked up and saw her. He was startled at first, then he smiled: "Hongyi Officer, what a coincidence, what are you doing?"

"Oh, I like the hustle and bustle. When I heard there was a big market here, I came here to have a look. I'm hungry too. Do you mind joining me?" Hong Xiaoduo responded with a smile.

John immediately smiled and said, "No problem, no problem, let's have fun together."

Hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo sat next to John.

Mu Rongjing and Kaiyang came over, nodded to John as a greeting, and sat down.

The owner of the noodle stall was serving John noodles when he looked up and was startled to see three more guests coming to the table of the foreigner. What kind of day was it today? First, a foreigner who spoke fluent Fengliang dialect came, and now there were three guests whose clothes made it seem like they were of unusual social status.

At the table, John had no idea that the three people in front of him were not people he had met by chance.

Sitting opposite John, Mu Rongjing was very curious. She was looking for John...

I have been single these two days because the witch caught a cold and had a headache. I told my husband about it today, but he walked away for a while, then came back with a clove of garlic in his hand, and ordered me to sit down. I was wondering what was going on?
As a result, someone rubbed garlic cloves back and forth on my forehead. I asked who taught him this?

People say that they go to school on Douyin!

After a few minutes, he stopped. My nostrils were filled with the smell of garlic and my forehead was burning!
