Chapter 561 Sweetness (3)
Ling Mengqi took her hand and said with a smile: "Anyway, these things can't be finished for a while, why don't we go to the night market in the evening and go out in the afternoon, go to Jifang Pavilion first, and then see if you come back tomorrow. Is there anything I want to bring, although I have prepared everything that needs to be prepared, in case there is any omission, I will have dinner at Zuixianlou, and then we will come back after shopping at the night market, what do you think?"

In two lifetimes, Lu Mingxuan has never visited the night market in the capital. The two times when she went out at night, she met the eldest prince once, and she came to Chukui once. It was not a pleasant experience, so I listened. Ling Mengqi's words brightened her eyes: "Okay, I've never been to the night market in the capital, so I'd better take a stroll today... But, I don't want to go to Zuixianlou for dinner..."

Thanks to the embarrassment and helplessness in Zuixian Tower that time, she swore in her heart that she would never step into the gate of Zuixian Tower again in her life!
Ling Mengqi was taken aback for a moment, then thought of what happened to Yuanxiao in Zuixianlou the year before last, he couldn't help laughing, whispered something in Lu Mingxuan's ear, and she immediately gave her an angry stare, He was not annoyed either, and leaned forward again with a playful smile...

After having lunch and resting for a while, Ling Mengqi and Lu Mingxuan changed into their going out clothes, got into the carriage that Huzi hired temporarily, and went straight to Combs Alley.

Shopkeeper Xiao Chi and Xiao Li didn't expect that they would come to Jifang Pavilion on the second day of their wedding, and they were surprised and delighted. After they were introduced to the back hall graciously, they called everyone to salute and congratulate them: "Congratulations girl, congratulations uncle, I wish the girl and uncle a happy marriage for a hundred years and have a precious son soon!"

After the salute, Xiaoli immediately went to fetch a box, opened it to Lu Mingxuan and said, "This is a set of prestige that our big fellows contributed to give to the girl. Although it is not worth a few dollars, it is my father-in-law's craftsmanship. , it can be regarded as barely able to wear it out to meet people, and please don't despise frivolity, girl."

He said again: "This box should have been sent to the girl long ago, but the girl said it was inconvenient to let the master and the big girls know about the Jifang Pavilion. We can only hope that the girl will honor the girl when she is free. Fortunately, the girl One will come today."

Lu Mingxuan saw that golden head, the rubies inlaid on it were the size of a lotus seed rice, and the workmanship was exquisite and meticulous, at least it was worth a few hundred taels of silver, so she couldn't help but annoyed Xiaoli and said, "I don't know how much this head is worth. , and said Jian Bo, each of you only has a little money for a year, and I feel really sorry for letting you spend so much money." Order Danqing to reward everyone with two big red seals, which can somewhat subsidize everyone.

After staying in Jifang Pavilion for nearly an hour, Lu Mingxuan and Ling Mengqi also left. Shopkeeper Xiaochi and Xiaoli stayed together in every possible way. It was Ling Mengqi who said: "Now my wife is the mistress of a mansion. You can go out, and there will be more opportunities to come here in the future, and you can go to Oak Alley to see your wife when you have time."

The husband and wife regretfully sent them into the carriage.

Afterwards, the two of them went to a few shops of southern goods and bought some new and clever things, and it was almost dark.

Because Lu Mingxuan didn't want to go to Zuixianlou, Ling Mengqi took her to another restaurant in the capital "Penglai Pavilion" that was as famous as Zuixianlou.

Penglai Pavilion mainly serves Hangbang cuisine, and the signature dish, squirrel mandarin fish, is especially authentic. Lu Mingxuan enjoyed it so much. Ling Mengqi met him and said with a smile, "If you like it, I will bring you here often, okay? ?”

Lu Mingxuan naturally agreed, and said with a smile: "I think that even if sister Wei and sister-in-law live in the capital for a long time, they may not come to Penglai Pavilion for dinner, let alone visit the night market. Do you still feel wronged by me?"

She has only been married to Ling Mengqi for two days, and she has already seen people and things that she has never seen before. What kind of opportunities can I imagine in the next few decades? If this is considered a "grievance" , then she is willing to suffer for the rest of her life!

After coming out of Penglai Pavilion, it was already dark, Ling Mengqi somehow got a small lantern to carry it, while holding Lu Mingxuan's hand with the other hand, he took a small path to the night market.

The trail is also worthy of its name, like a sheep's intestines, wide enough to pass a carriage, and narrow enough to only allow two people to walk side by side. Ling Mengqi hugged Lu Mingxuan's shoulders to the end, stepped forward, and suddenly saw the path. cheerful.

The night market in the capital city is well-known all over the country, so it naturally has its unique features. Apart from other things, the stalls on both sides of the night market are usually placed until the fourth watch, which is quite different from other places, and the people in the capital city seem to have no scruples. It's like time, always hanging out until midnight before going back.

Ling Mengqi took Lu Mingxuan's hand, protected her, walked forward and looked to both sides, he was far away from the market, and he could already see crowds of people.There are lanterns hanging high on both sides of the avenue, and there are all kinds of business stalls underneath. There are those who fish for goldfish, those who sell flowers and grass, and those who sell various snacks, as well as those who sell candied haws and sugar blowers.

When did Lu Mingxuan see this, standing in front of the candy blower's booth, she couldn't move her feet, her nimble eyes flickered behind the veil, Ling Mengqi's heart almost softened into a puddle of water, He simply asked the stall owner to bring her one of various styles before he paid the money, and continued walking forward while holding her hand.

The night market is really lively, there are not only food and entertainment, but also jugglers, such as putting plates on their heads, throwing darts with people as rakes, swallowing knives with forks, and smashing boulders in their chests. Dazzling, I just hate myself for not being able to grow two more eyes.

Mesmerized by watching a round, just now the man lying down with a big stone on his chest took a plate to "thank" the audience for their support. Lu Mingxuan reached out to Ling Mengqi for money: "Do you have one or two taels?" Broken silver, give me a piece..."

Before he could finish speaking, seeing Ling Mengqi's thin lips pursed, he didn't know what he was thinking, and the expression on his face did not seem to be happy. In the flash of flint, Lu Mingxuan suddenly thought of the first time the two had an intersection, and it was just at the same time. It's because he and Hu Zi's master and servant are performing arts on the street. Could it be that he is in love with the scene and feels embarrassed when he thinks of his downfall back then?
A thought flashed through, and Lu Mingxuan immediately put on a nonchalant look, and pulled Ling Mengqi's hand to leave: "I'm a little thirsty, I just saw someone buying hawthorn water, can you go and buy me a bowl?"

Ling Mengqi answered everything, but he didn't leave immediately, but took out a piece of broken silver, which was about two taels, and waited until the man came over and gave it to the latter, and then he was in the latter's gratitude. , dragged Lu Mingxuan to find a stall selling hawthorn water.

When Ling Mengqi bought hawthorn water and came back, Lu Mingxuan said that being thirsty was just an excuse, not really thirsty, so she stopped drinking it after two sips, Ling Mengqi took it and drank it all, and then said to her: "You It's not that I'm really thirsty, it's because I'm afraid that I'll be embarrassing and embarrassing, so I pretend I'm thirsty, so you want to pull me away?"
