Chapter 68 Night Exploration of Red Bridge Alley (3)
The carriage stopped by the inner road of the east gate of the city. Liu Zhiyuan got out of the car first, then opened the curtain with one hand and tried to help Chen Bing get out of the car with the other hand. Chen Bing leaned out and said in Liu Zhiyuan's ear: "What did you say today?"
I have kept your words in mind. If you break your promise, I, I, hum!" After Chen Bing finished speaking, he gently pushed Liu Zhiyuan's hand away, jumped out of the carriage while holding on to the shaft, and then gave Liu Zhiyuan a white look.
Liu Zhiyuan felt that the words in Chen Bing's ears were very helpful, and the orchid breath he exhaled made him even more intoxicated. He took a deep breath and thought to himself: "As long as you keep it in your heart, it will be fine. Just keep it in your heart."
"
After Chen Bing got off the car, she walked around and looked around. She had never been to the east of the city. She was unfamiliar and new here, and Hongqiaozi Lane was not far away. She glanced at Liu Zhiyuan, and there was no trace of emotion in her eyes.
After feeling unfamiliar and angry just now, he pointed to an alley diagonally opposite and said, "Zhixing, is this alley opposite Hongqiaozi Alley?"...
Liu Zhiyuan saw that her mood had returned to its original state, and he nodded secretly in his mind, thinking that these two women were able to control their emotions freely, so they should be capable of doing things, so he said: "Exactly, it looks like the sky is getting dark, and it's almost time for you."
After that, the night market should be open. Erniang, you and I will go to the night market for a while. Liu San! You drive to the east of the city and wait!"
After Liu San got the order, he drove away by himself. Chen Bing glanced at the entrance of the alley, which was already a little noisy, deliberately missed a step, and followed Liu Zhiyuan into Hongqiaozi Alley.
After the two entered the alley, Chen Bing seemed to have opened the door to a new world. However, the alley was already bustling with people. The shops along the street had already hung up various colored lights, selling goods from the north and south, rare antiques, bells, tripods, Yi, and fish.
There are all kinds of pillows, beads and hairpins, and even the shop that sells coffins wants to take advantage of the popularity of this alley. The sellers walking around the streets are selling loudly, singing for profit, female actors, acting history, dramas, and lyrics.
, there are many people playing jungle games, and there is also an endless stream of people fighting for the victory, and there are countless onlookers. Those who win are overjoyed and clap their hands and praise, while those who lose are
Annoyed, there were boos everywhere, and they spent more money to keep up their efforts. It was extremely lively. The streets were crowded with people, and people were leaning against each other.
Liu Zhiyuan did not expect that there would be so many people coming to this night market for entertainment. Chen Bing frowned even more. The two of them walked inward for a while and were almost scattered by the crowd of people who had won the battle. Chen Bing tightened his grip.
Liu Zhiyuan's hand was not swept away by the crowd, and he thought in his mind: "What kind of day is it today? Why are there so many people? How can we find out anything like this?" He shook his head slightly and pulled Liu Zhiyuan's sleeve.
He said loudly: "Zhixing, there are really too many people here. Why don't you and I find a store nearby and wait for the people to disperse for a while before making plans? What do you think?"
Liu Zhiyuan turned around and said only two words, "Very good!" After saying that, he pulled Chen Bing, secretly used his inner strength, used Qinggong, and moved around. In just a few breaths, he was already fifty steps away and selling hairpins.
store. Liu Zhiyuan was fine. He had calmed down his breathing and his complexion was still as usual. Chen Bing was a little embarrassed. She didn't know martial arts, let alone internal strength. When she was pulled by Liu Zhiyuan, there was wind in her ears and her footsteps were even slower.
When she arrived at the store, she was panting heavily and her face was red. She rubbed her chest, adjusted her breathing, and glanced at Liu Zhiyuan resentfully.
The person selling hairpins in the store was an elderly woman. She was dressed very delicately and had three hairpins of different materials and styles on her head. Although they were just prototypes, they looked quite luxurious. She saw a customer.
When she came to the door, she immediately smiled and bowed slightly to the two of them. Her smile was just like the warm spring breeze. She made people feel very comfortable when they saw her. Liu Zhiyuan kept his identity and just nodded slightly, while Chen Bing nodded slightly.
Bow down.
The woman's eyes quickly swept over the two of them, and she thought in her mind: "This little official's clothes seem to be ordinary, but the jade pendant on his body looks like a treasure. These two people are rich and powerful in Zhejiang Province."
Most of them live a simple life on weekdays, and I think this is the same for this young official. It’s just that the little lady next to me looks like a country girl in her clothes, and the way she came here just now doesn’t look like this young official.
The person who is close to him is not like the wife he raised. Well, maybe these two people had a secret love, and it is not necessarily that they sneaked out for a tryst."
After the old woman slandered her, she had some thoughts in her mind and said with a smile: "How are you, this official? How are you, my dear wife? Please take a look at this hairpin. The body of the hairpin is made of silver, and the tail of the hairpin is incredible."
, it is a gardenia made of beads. It is as bright and beautiful as the real one. How many days can I wear the real flower?
Flowers, the little lady can wear them every day, every month, and every year." After saying that, the woman wanted to insert the hairpin directly into Chen Bing's head. Chen Bing wanted to hide but couldn't. Then
After inserting the hairpin, the mother-in-law nodded with great satisfaction and praised with a smile on her face: "Oh, my little lady, this hairpin is a perfect match for you. It follows you, so you have found the right owner."
.Ah, this official, look at it, right?"
Ever since the old lady put the hairpin on Chen Bing, Liu Zhiyuan's eyes have been rolling around Chen Bing. Hearing what the old lady said, he also nodded. Chen Bing didn't wait for Liu Zhiyuan to say anything and hurriedly put the hairpin on.
He took it off from his head and gave it back to the old woman. The old woman looked at Liu Zhiyuan, her eyes seeming to say: Sir, this hairpin is excellent and very suitable for this little lady. Buy it quickly.
Come down and give it to your sweetheart.
Liu Zhiyuan was a little confused at this time. Although he was young and mature, and he was the owner of Dexian Building, he was only a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old after all. He didn't know much about men and women, and the woman was really sophisticated and could see through it at a glance.
Knowing this, she aimed her main attack at Liu Zhiyuan. Liu Zhiyuan still fell in love with her and asked, "How much does this hairpin cost?"
The old lady felt happy, she stretched out her four fingers and said with a cheerful smile: "Hui Guan, it's very cheap, only four long enough!" In fact, this hairpin is usually sold for only two long enough, this old lady said with a cheerful smile:
Liu Zhiyuan was determined to take advantage of him, and he doubled the price after opening his mouth.
Chen Bing hurriedly stood up on tiptoes and said in Liu Zhiyuan's ear: "Big devil, have you forgotten the purpose of you and me coming here? Zhang Qingqing's matter has not been fully investigated yet. Why did you buy these things? You gave them to me last time
You gave me a hairpin, and I can’t thank you enough. Don’t waste your money on buying this hairpin.”
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head, took off the four strings of money, and handed them to the old woman. The old woman was so happy that she hurriedly took the money, held the hairpin in both hands and handed it to him. Liu Zhiyuan inserted the hairpin into Chen Chen with his own hands.
After taking a look at Bing's hair, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "This hairpin looks really good on you."
Women all over the world love beauty, and Chen Bing is no exception. She combed her hair with her hands, touched the hairpin, and asked, "Is it really good-looking?"
The mother-in-law was deeply afraid that if Chen Bing suddenly didn't want the hairpin, the fat she got would be vomited out. Naturally, she was unwilling to do so and hurriedly praised: "It's beautiful, it's beautiful. The little lady wearing this hairpin is just like the seven fairies."
When she descends to earth, she will be more beautiful than the immortals in heaven."
Liu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile and agreed with her words. The woman seemed to be inspired and flattered Liu Zhiyuan and said: "This official is still so cheerful. He is not like other people. Oh, I remember you very clearly.
Now, just over a month ago at the night market, a young lady fell in love with a hairpin at my stall. There was also a man accompanying her, but that man was quite weird, and he was always far away from the young lady.
The little lady didn't want to get any closer. She didn't have enough money, so she asked the man. The man said, "Qingqing, there's no need to buy this hairpin. You and I should go and eat some Xucang Snow Lotus Root Rice Noodles first. I really am."
I'm hungry." Hey, you can see that the young lady was extremely disappointed, so she put down her hairpin and went to the north of the city with the man."
Chen Bing and Liu Zhiyuan were both stunned. They looked at each other and were very surprised. Chen Bing said in her heart: "It's really effortless to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere." But she didn't know Zhang Qingqing, so she didn't know.
She looked like her. After thinking about it, she glanced at Liu Zhiyuan. Liu Zhiyuan already understood what he meant and hurriedly asked the old lady: "Does the little lady you are talking about speak with a Huating accent? She is about four feet eight inches tall."
, wearing a green gown, slightly thin, with a mole on the corner of his left eye, and very handsome in appearance? Do you remember what that man looks like?"
The woman thought for a moment and replied: "Yes, it is true as the official said, the little woman is also very beautiful, and the man behind her is standing quite far away, so I can't see clearly, I only remember that he is wearing
He is wearing a gray gown, but judging from his body shape, he is also a rather handsome man."
Chen Bing said to Liu Zhiyuan: "That's it. That man must know Zhang Qingqing. He was afraid that others would recognize him, so he always kept a distance from Zhang Qingqing."
Liu Zhiyuan nodded, and then asked the old woman: "Do you still remember what was unusual about the two of them when they came that day?"
Chen Bing asked, "Can you see clearly whether the middle finger of that man's left hand is
Is there a piece missing?"
The old woman shook her head and replied: "As for the young lady, it was very dark at that time, and the man's hands were clasped behind his back. I couldn't see if he was missing a finger. In addition, as for the official, as for the unusual
There was nothing everywhere, except that the man seemed to have something to do, and he was urging me a little more urgently. Oh, by the way, the man also spoke with a Huating accent. When the young lady followed him, she called something like "brother," oh,
There were many people and it was noisy, so I didn’t hear clearly.”
After Chen Bing and Liu Zhiyuan looked at each other, they each nodded. After thanking the woman, they left the stall and walked towards the north gate, but Chen Bing still staggered a step to follow. But at this time, she
Her mood was no longer what it was when she first arrived. The clues she got from the hairpin seller were quite useful. Originally, she was quite bored with this busy market, but now she seemed to be so lovable.
The two of them came out of the alley and arrived near the north gate. Liu San was waiting not far away, and the crowd here was no longer as crowded as in the alley. Although Chen Bing was quite embarrassed, fortunately he was in a good mood. She stroked her temples and touched the newly bought hairpin specifically for fear of losing it while squeezing in the crowd. Fortunately, the hairpin was still intact and inserted diagonally into her hair. Chen Bing breathed a sigh of relief. She patted Liu Zhiyuan's shoulder and said, "Zhixing, are there so many people coming to this Hongqiaozi Lane night market for entertainment every night?"
Liu Zhiyuan also adjusted his clothes and said: "I also felt strange when I entered the alley, but look at the full moon in the sky. Today is the third day of the lunar month, so naturally there are many people. It is the day of the lunar calendar. This is the busiest time for the market in the city. Oh, I neglected these things when I came here."
Chen Bing suddenly felt enlightened and said with a dry laugh: "I see, no wonder it's so messy because of the crowds and crowds. How can you buy what you like? By the way, Zhixing, what the mother-in-law said is now I can confirm that Zhang Qingqing’s acquaintance is from Huating.”
Liu Zhiyuan nodded and answered, "Yes, as for whether he is a member of the Liu family in the past, we will only know when Wuji comes back. Hey, it is said that it is difficult to guard against thieves day and night. I hope the Liu family in Huating will not have such thieves."
"Isn't this the second mother-in-law of the Chen family? Are you so scared that you will be here tonight?"
