Chapter 260 Buying a Heart Knot
Chapter 260 Buying a Heart Knot
Qianyang Street in the south of the city.
This street must be the most lively and prosperous place in Beisha City.
The previous attack by the Beidi cavalry on Beisha City and the siege that night had no impact on this street. Apart from a decline in popularity, basic store operations continued.
This place is clearly in the same city as the north of the city, but the people in the two places seem to live in two different worlds.
This place seems like a prosperous and wealthy area, while the north of the city is a poor and dilapidated slum.
In the days after the war, the south of the city became even more lively and bustling.
In the past few days, there has been a significant increase in the number of peddlers on the streets on both sides of the east and south sides of the city, most of whom came from Yuancheng, Chenzhou and other directions.
The news that Prince Dongli and the Princess were raising funds to help the people rebuild Beisha City had already spread everywhere. After hearing the news, these people rushed over, hoping to get a piece of the action.
Shu He brought Princess Eleven and Xiao Lian to the most famous restaurant in the south of Beisha City: Yingke Tower.
The main reason is that Baili Rushu is a princess. She was afraid that the stall would not be clean if it was too small, and she was also afraid that Baili Rushu, as a princess, would not be used to it.
The girl named Aguo kept her head down the whole time, remained silent, and her face was full of fear and anxiety.
The guest house had two floors, and they chose a window seat on the second floor. Shu He ordered the restaurant's specialties and a pot of tea, then put Yi'er down.
Xiao Yier was lying on the window next to her, her round eyes full of curiosity.
This is her first time going out shopping since she left Yuancheng!
"Mom, what's that red thing?"
"Which one?" Shu He turned her head to look. There were quite a lot of vendors setting up stalls below, so she really couldn't tell what Yi'er was referring to.
"That's the one!"
Yi'er pointed again, and Shu He finally saw it. It turned out to be a red heart knot hanging on the stall.
Shu He smiled slightly and explained, "That's called a heart knot. It's an ancient and meaningful knot. It's also a handicraft made of red string, symbolizing eternal love and good wishes."
"Wow!" After hearing her mother's explanation, Xiao Yi'er's eyes lit up even more, "Mom, can I buy one?
Looking at her expectant eyes, Shu He couldn't help but smile, "Of course! But, mother has something else to do, can we wait a while?"
Baili Rushu sat silently aside, with a slight flicker of emotion in her eyes.
"millet……"
She originally wanted to call her "Sister He", but she felt that the relationship between them was not that close yet, so she changed her mind.
"Madam He, how about I take Yi'er out to buy some?"
Shu He looked at her with some surprise. She felt that her attitude towards her and the way she looked at her were a little different from before.
However, there was no way she would let Yi'er go with someone else, especially since this person had threatened her that morning.
"I dare not trouble you, Princess. Yi'er is naughty and I'm afraid she might..."
"Mom, Yier is not naughty! Yier is very well behaved!" Little Yier said dissatisfiedly.
"Auntie and Grandpa both said Yi'er is a good baby! Why did Mom say that? Do you think Yi'er is naughty?"
Shu He was embarrassed. She just wanted to reject Baili Rushu, so she said that on purpose. Unexpectedly, Yi'er took it seriously.
"I'm sorry, Yi'er. I said the wrong thing. It's not that I'm naughty, but I'm worried that I might get lost..."
"Don't worry, Xiaolian and I are here and we will definitely not let Yi'er get lost!"
Baili Rushu stood up and made a solemn promise, leaving Xiaolian behind her confused.
Princess, what's going on?
After listening to what Miss Nangong said before, didn't you dislike Doctor He? Why is he taking the initiative to help others take care of the child now?
She is as innocent as a child herself, how can she take care of a baby?
Xiaolian couldn't help but get a headache just thinking about it.
"Mother, I want to go buy a love knot with Princess Sister. Please agree! Okay?"
Yi'er shook Shu He's left hand, acting coquettishly and softly. Seeing this, Baili Rushu also came over, grabbed the clothes on her right hand, shook it gently, and looked at her pleadingly.
Compared to Yi'er's coquettish behavior, Baili Rushu's appearance made Shu He even more unable to resist.
Baili Rushu has a very delicate appearance, and her facial features are about 50% similar to Baili Moqing's. However, her facial features and contours are relatively softer.
A pair of big eyes, bright and radiant, fair and clean skin full of collagen, looking smooth and elastic like a baby of a few months old.
Perhaps it was because she was so well protected in the palace that her character was full of authenticity. If she liked someone, she liked them; if she didn't like someone, she didn't like them. Everything was expressed on the surface.
Shu He was quite envious of this.
"Okay, okay, stop shaking!" Shu He was really scared. How could those big watery eyes be more irresistible than Yi'er's?
Is Nanqi blind?
How could he not notice such a cute and bright girl?
"If you go, you can only stay on this street and can't run around. I will watch you here." Shu He reminded.
"Wow! Mommy is so great!" Yier gave Shu He a big kiss on the face.
"Thank you, mother!"
"Princess sister, let's go buy some love knots, shall we?"
Baili Rushu also smiled with her eyes curved, and was about to leave with Xiao Yier in her arms.
"Princess!!"
Xiaolian simply couldn't believe that a princess like her would actually embrace a child from a commoner's family! !
What happened to the princess?
Is it a different person?
Baili Rushu looked at her as if she had seen a ghost and couldn't help but glare at her, "What's the big deal?"
What's wrong with her hugging the child of her savior?
Shu He understood Xiaolian's meaning and immediately said, "Yier, we have grown up, haven't we? It's time for us to walk on our own, right?"
Xiao Yier nodded, "Yes, Yier has grown up and wants to walk on her own!"
As she spoke, she slid down from Baili Rushu's body and took her hand, "Princess sister, let's go!"
After the three people left, Shu He looked at the girl named Aguo again.
She still kept her head down, and her whole body almost curled up.
"Miss Aguo, please sit down."
Upon hearing this, Aguo was stunned, shook his head, and tightly twisted his patched clothes with his hands.
How could she dare to sit in front of her?
Even the princess had to be polite to her, so how could a mere commoner like her dare to sit in front of her?
Besides, she was afraid that her tattered clothes would dirty their chairs.
Shu He saw her inferiority and uneasiness, and stopped forcing her. He just asked, "He brought you here, but didn't he leave you any money?"
Her clothes were not only tattered but also very thin. Fortunately, she had taken the medicine she had left for her last time, and her condition had improved, so her complexion was much better than when I first saw her.
But there is one thing worth praising.
Although her clothes were ragged, she kept herself clean, with neat hair and a plain face, showing a simple and tranquil temperament.
Ah Guo immediately shook his head, his face somewhat anxious as he explained, "He stayed!"
"It's just that, two days ago, it was stolen on the street..."
Later, Aguo briefly told Shu He what happened a few days ago.
It turned out that on the day Zhang Zhiyi arrived in Beisha City, he happened to meet Shu Yuanqing. From the people's gossip, he learned that Zhang Zhiyi was going to Beisha City to meet the Beidi enemy. Shu Yuanqing, who was desperate, stopped Zhang Zhiyi's team and asked to join the army.
Perhaps Zhang Zhiyi had some impression of him, and learned that it was difficult for them to survive in Yuancheng, and that he had a sick sister, so after considering many factors, he agreed to his request.
Later, in order to settle Aguo in Beisha City, Shu Yuanqing shamelessly borrowed some money from Zhang Zhiyi.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhiyi is a good person, otherwise, anyone would be speechless at Shu Yuanqing's unreasonable request.
