Two months later, it was early July.Midsummer is coming to an end, but there is no coolness in Wuyang City, but it is still hot.The street selling cold cake vendors is doing a good business, and the stall owners in gray robes are busy sweating profusely, but they don't feel hard at all, but they are full of smiles, after all, such busyness means white flowers, and if you want to settle down in the royal capital of the Wuyang Dynasty, such hard work is worth it.The woman selling sugar gourds across the street was not so lucky, and the hot weather made pedestrians more willing to patronize food that could relieve the heat, and there were few people who cared about things like sugar gourds.She propped her cheek with one hand, and thought that she would simply go home and rest, and it was not a matter of drying under the sun.After all, she is only over forty years old, her skin is white and beautiful, if she is tanned, wouldn't it make this Wuyang City lose another beauty who has captivated the country and the city?
The woman thought to herself, her thoughts were flying, and she couldn't help but think of herself selling sugar gourds at the end of the year a few years ago, when her child was seriously ill, and when the time came, Wuyang City went up to the dignitaries and nobles, down to the ordinary people all returned home, and the heavy snow kept falling on the streets.Because the woman who had delayed the time to take the child to see a doctor came out a little, only a few copies of the sugar gourd made by working overtime yesterday were sold, and the rest was about to be broken, and the helpless woman could only walk the streets and alleys without giving up, thinking of selling a few more copies, at least to raise enough money for tomorrow's medicine for the child.Unfortunately, there were few pedestrians on the empty streets, and the woman pushed the cart and walked all the way to nothing.At that time, the woman could not help but be a little hopeless, the early death of her husband and the serious illness of the child weighed on the woman's shoulders.She squatted in the snow and sobbed softly, but she did not dare to cry too hard, lest she disturb the joyful atmosphere of the people living in the courtyard beside her.Sometimes life is like that.Even the grief itself has become a luxury at some point."
This sugar gourd is good, how much is a string?"
Just then, a flirtatious voice came from the side.The woman Wen Yan hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, replaced them with a smiling appearance, looked at the visitor and said: "Ten dollars a string" The sight made the woman stunned, the person who came did not look like a guy who could eat sugar gourds.He was wearing a brocade and velvet robe, with a bright appearance and a handsome face, and at first glance he was from a large family, and the woman also recognized the other party by chance A few years ago, Li Mulin returned to the dynasty in triumph and toured Wuyang City, at that time, the prince stood beside him and enjoyed the cheers and cheers of the people of Wuyang.At this time, Li Shizi's notoriety had begun to emerge in Wuyang City, and the woman couldn't help but shrink her neck in fear."
How many strings do you have," the prince asked, ignoring the woman's strange appearance."
A hundred," the woman whispered."
Okay."
Lord Shizi nodded noncommittally, took out a silver ingot from his bosom and put it in front of the woman, and then took a string of sugar gourds from the stall and took a bite, chewed it in his mouth for a while, and muttered: "Well, it tastes good." ”"I'll send it to the house tomorrow."
As he spoke, the prince staggered away with a bit of drunkenness.The woman froze in place, looking at the silver on the stall cart that was enough to buy ten carts of sugar gourds, and was stunned for a while.She looked up at the back of the departing son, and she couldn't tell whether this sudden good fortune was reality or a dream.But at this time, the departing prince suddenly stopped, and the woman's heart tightened and secretly thought that the other party was going to repent, but she saw that the son turned around, raised the sugar gourd in his hand and said."
That's right.""
Happy New Year."
Since then, His Royal Highness has come here every once in a while, and often buys all her goods as soon as he is happy."
Ugh."
The woman who thought of this sighed again, thinking that it would be good if she could meet Li Danqing again.With the heart of the prince, as soon as he was in a good mood, his car of sugar gourds would have a place to go.Speaking of which, Li Shizi has been away from Wuyang City for more than a month, although the people in the city have not scolded His Royal Highness the prince for his ignorance and extravagance, but think about it carefully, that prince seems to be in addition to indulging in wine, sometimes he is a little more arrogant, it seems that he has really not done anything that is really angry with people and gods, but some traders have gained a lot of benefits from Li Shizi's generous efforts, but His Royal Highness the prince was exiled to the border pass, I am afraid that I will never meet the good luck of the year in my life.The woman couldn't help but sigh a little when she thought of this, and the sun above her head seemed to be getting hotter and hotter."
This sugar gourd is good, I used to like this one the most."
And just then a tender voice sounded and reached the woman's ears.The woman with her head drooping in front of the stall heard that business was coming, and she hurriedly restrained the displeasure on her face, cheered up, squeezed out a smile, and said enthusiastically: "The guest is right, my family's sugar gourd Wuyang City I said second, no one dares to say first, the guest wants a few strings." ”The sun is in full bloom, and there are a lot of guests standing in front of the stall, seven or eight people, because of the light, the woman can't see each other's appearance clearly, but vaguely feels that the son who walks in front of the team is a little familiar, and he thinks he should be a regular customer in front of this stall."
Isn't it just a sugar gourd?
We're kids again, and who is too rare to eat this stuff. ”The girl next to Brother Gongzi pursed her lips and complained angrily: "I obviously said that I would come to Wuyang City to have a meal, but you want to fool us with this thing?"
”"Alas, I want to eat a big meal, and I want to eat sugar gourds too."
The head of the boy said this, and from the woman's stall, he picked up a string of sugar gourds and stuffed it into the mouth of the girl who was carrying a large knife not much smaller than her body.The girl was obviously a little dissatisfied and was about to get angry, but the sweetness of the sugar gourd in her mouth made her startled, and her face suddenly changed: "Huh?
”"How?
Is it tasty?
”Brother Childe asked with a smile."
Not bad."
The girl seemed to be a little reluctant to give in, and her mouth was unconvinced.The boy smiled, and didn't care, but took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it in front of the woman's stall, and said, "The old rule, send the rest to the house." ”"Well, good."
When the woman saw the silver, she immediately smiled, nodded hurriedly, picked up the silver, and the smile on her face was just gone, but suddenly froze in place."
Old rules," she muttered, as if she had finally realized that something was wrong, and at this moment she raised her head to look in the direction where the group of guests was, but at this time the person who had come had already led everyone away and gradually walked away, and her feet softened, and she finally understood, and sat down on the ground, and said loudly."
The prince is back!"
As a result, Wuyang City that day was boiling from the market to the three mansions and nine divisions.Everyone is preaching one thing, Wuyang City.Your Royal Highness, your son, is back!
