Chapter 592 Strolling the Street, Drawing Sugar Figures
The next day, according to Ling Jingxuan's plan, someone went to the chief secretary's yamen early in the morning to beat drums and cry for grievances. With Ling Jingxuan's skillful makeup, that person looked like he was seriously injured. After asking the 'why' of the matter in front of the people, Yan Xiaobei personally took someone to Jiangjia Town to arrest him.
"Do you think Xiaobei can bring him back?"
In the back house, everyone gathered after breakfast chatting casually. How many children only have the least favorite study, and the little dumpling who only knows how to play all day stays in the hall on the ground with Gun Gun? ?Rolling? ?
"Don't underestimate my family's Xiaobei, as long as the Jiang family doesn't know to rebel, they have to hand them over."
Ling Jingxuan lay on the table and glanced lazily at Yuan Shaoqi who asked the question. Even if Xiaobei couldn't do it, wouldn't there be Yan Si and An Shaonong?No matter how tyrannical the Jiang family is, they still have to treat the court a little bit less face-to-face on the surface, and they went directly to the Jiang family town to take people, so the Jiang family probably didn't want to dirty their own place with their hands.
"It's as if you've got it right, what if you can't get it back?"
Nothing to do, Zeng Shaoqing challenged him again, Ling Jingxuan propped himself up and called Xiaotuanzi.
"Daddy!"
Xiao Tuanzi, who was rolling and playing on the ground, got up and ran over with a smile on his face. Ling Jingxuan stretched out his hand and said, "Can I borrow a copper coin from Daddy?"
"Okay."
Xiaotuanzi didn't even think about it, picked up his small purse and took out a copper coin from it to give him: "Daddy, are you going to go shopping in the street?"
He wants to go too!I haven't been to the street for a long time.
"What does one coin buy?"
Poking his head angrily, Ling Jingxuan flicked the copper coin to the middle of the table: "Bet on a coin, Xiao Bei will definitely catch him back."
"Grandpa will bet with you!"
Picking up the copper plate, Zeng Shaoqing flicked it up leisurely, Ling Jingxuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, got up and took his little dumpling: "Daddy will take you to the street."
"Yeah! Daddy, you are awesome!"
Xiaotuanzi jumped up happily, with a bright smile on his face, Yan Shengrui, who was left behind, raised his voice: "Really go shopping on the street?" I haven't heard him say that, doesn't he think it's too hot outside?
"Of course it's true, you can't bore my little dumpling, can you?"
Turning around and throwing him a smile, Ling Jingxuan rejected Ling Yun's request to help them prepare a carriage. The chief secretary's office is in the center of the city, and the main street is just outside the door. Why go shopping in a carriage?Besides, he didn't have any particular destination, he just wanted to take his son out for a stroll.
"I'll go with you."
Before Yan Shengrui got up, Chu Yunhan got up and walked towards them.
"I'll go as well."
With all the daughters-in-law gone, how could Zeng Shaoqing still sit still?
"..."
Yan Shengrui was speechless, and followed silently. Yuan Shaoqi wisely didn't disturb them. After they left, he went back to his room and wrote a letter to his family, Jinghan. Everyone abused him here, which made him miss him more and more. Jia Jinghan.
E'nan City is a very old city, but it is built very solidly and firmly, and has not experienced the baptism of war. There is no vicissitudes of history on the street, and there are only hawkers shouting and people's laughter. The few people in the crowd are undoubtedly outstanding, and they frequently attract the attention of many people.
"Uncle, business is fine!"
"Auntie is so beautiful!"
"Sister, your clothes are so beautiful."
"Uncle, what is this?"
Along the way, the four of them once again saw that Xiaotuanzi's chatter was very familiar. Even if he passed by, he could sweetly praise others. Every time he passed a booth, he would greet others with a smile. Those who don't know may think that they know each other very well. The people who were warmly greeted by him were taken aback for a moment, and then when they saw his chubby body and cute smiling face, most of them responded to him with bright smiles, and some even responded. He just gave him a piece of candy or a piece of fruit, and Xiaotuanzi was not too polite, and took everything as ordered. After Ling Jingxuan confirmed that it was not poisonous, he ate it together on the spot. It can be said that he ate it all over the street without spending a penny. .
"Has he always been like this?"
Seeing this situation for the first time, Zeng Shaoqing opened his mouth slightly in surprise, isn't this too awesome?Much better than when he and Lao Jiu were young.
"It seems so."
Ling Jingxuan couldn't help but feel ashamed, and once again seriously questioned, who exactly does this kid look like? His prince is not such a talkative and familiar person, let alone him, including his big bun and small bun, Xiao Beitie Wazi and Shang Qing, who is far away in the capital, are not like this, why did his little dumpling develop this kind of temperament?
What he didn't know was that Xiaotuanzi did this because of them. When they lived in the palace, didn't the buns often hang out on the East Street?Almost all the merchants on East Avenue know them, but their personalities have been fixed, and they always bring big black and small black with them. Even if they never cause trouble, everyone dare not take the initiative to approach them. After Da appeared on the East Street, he was extremely cute and chubby, and he was the child of their respected princess. He was even cuter when he was driving a pony carriage. Most importantly, he would not bring Da Hei Xiao Hei , all of them are as cute as him, Gun Gun, the hearts of the people on the East Street have been cut by him. After taking the initiative to greet him, he found that his mouth is still very sweet. After a long time, Xiaotuanzi got used to every time When I went to the street, I greeted others, regardless of whether he knew him or not, he always greeted him with a smile, which often made the merchants and common people on the East Street very happy. Well done, that's how it ended up.
So, the environment is the important cradle for a person to be born, just like big buns and small buns, one stingy and one gluttonous, isn’t it also caused by the poor family when I was young?The big bun is the eldest brother, and the old man is also stupid, he can't wait to break a penny into two pennies to use, and the little bun just wants to fill his stomach under his protection. The dumplings are the same, but the environment is different, and the habits formed are also different.
"In terms of raising sons, I have to say, you guys are like this!"
Zeng Shaoqing gave them a thumbs up. Whose family's children can be as awesome as theirs?All of them have distinct personalities, and even Tie Wazi, who lives in their house all year round, is very scary when he is serious. Even in normal times, who has ever seen a child who is gentle and refined at the age of nine, like a saint?
"It's a good thing for a child to have a personality, me??"
"Daddy, come and see, this uncle is so powerful!"
Before Ling Jingxuan could say anything, Xiaotuanzi's excited yelling came from the front. The adults shook their heads helplessly and walked up quickly. , Uncle is drawing a butterfly for me, the kind that can be eaten."
It turned out to be the stall of sugar painters, no wonder he was so excited, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help patting his head pamperingly, there are more sugar painters in the south, but there are quite few in the north, although Xiao Tuanzi used to go out often, the places he's been to It is only within the range of Dongdajie. Dongdajie in the capital is a famously prosperous area. It is normal that he has never seen a sugar painter, but? ? "What kind of eyes do you have?"
When Ling Jingxuan raised his head, he realized that not only his little dumpling, but also Yan Chengrui, Zeng Shaoqing and Chu Yunhan were all curiously looking at the booth filled with finished products. A gorgeous drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. Ling Jingxuan couldn't help being speechless. Will it be the first time seeing you?
"Is this really edible?"
Yan Shengrui's question directly told him the answer, and Ling Jingxuan immediately didn't know how to react. Fortunately, they boasted that they could have everything they wanted, and they had seen all the wonders in the world, but they didn't even know the sugar painters. Didn't they hear about his family? Did Wang Ye and Xiao Liu grow up on the street?Even if there are very few people in the capital, there should be sugar figurines, right?Didn't they see it when they were kids? "Is this thing a bird?"
Zeng Shaoqing on the other side also reached out to touch the thing that looked like a bird, Chu Yunhan slapped his hand away angrily: "Don't touch it, it's for people to eat."
"Ugh"
Ling Jingxuan sighed deeply, and pulled his prince to the small pot where the peddler made sugar: "These animals are all drawn with bullets, do you think they can be eaten? There are many such peddlers in the south, commonly known as sugar painters, The sugar in it is made of brown sugar and white sugar plus a little maltose, which is boiled over a slow fire on the stove, and when it can be drawn, it can be used to cast the mold."
There is no way, Ling Jingxuan can only give them a simple popular science, who makes them 'less knowledgeable' than the other.
"It's fun."
It was rare for Yan Shengrui to show a little childlike innocence. It just so happened that the peddler had finished drawing the butterfly that was given to Xiaotuanzi for free, and after setting up the stick, he picked it up and handed it to him: "Little brother, take it."
"Well, thank you uncle!"
Xiaotuanzi nodded obediently, took the butterfly and looked at it, looked at it, looked at it again, and finally opened his mouth wide and clicked on a butterfly wing and bit it down.
"It's delicious!"
The unique burnt taste instantly conquered him, attracting Yan Shengrui and the others who had never seen it before, let alone eaten it, couldn't help being a little greedy, but how could Xiaotuanzi take care of them? Kacha Kacha for a while , A small sugar butterfly was eaten by him, smash it, Xiaozuier, Xiaotuanzi decisively picked up his little purse, poured out the change inside and said, "Uncle, can you help me again?" Do?? Huh?? Five, no, the eldest brother must also eat, six, and make another six for me, okay?"
After counting with his fingers for a long time, Xiaotuanzi finally settled on the number, not to mention how cute he looks.
"It's okay, it's just??"
The peddler looked at Yan Shengrui and others around the stall in embarrassment. He had the courage to come to Nanjiang to beg for a living after the road leading to Nanjiang and Nanzhou was repaired recently. Although he didn't know them, he was a wanderer after all. , these people are not ordinary people at first glance, under their gaze, it is really difficult for him to perform.
"Brother, you will accept the money, can you let us paint by ourselves?"
Rolling his eyeballs, Ling Jingxuan pulled Yan Shengrui and walked over, how could the peddler have any reason not to follow?Quickly let go of the body.
"Let's draw together."
Picking up the spoon in the small pot, Ling Jingxuan signaled Yan Shengrui to hold his hand, so the two of them showed their affection on the street. At first, Yan Shengrui couldn't draw well, but it wasn't that he didn't know how to draw, the royal family came out How could it be possible that a person can't even draw?They are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, okay?It's just that he's always used to painting more finely, but the finer the sugar figurines are, the easier it is to paste together and lose their shape. The finished products they draw are naturally completely different.
However, under Xiaotuanzi's innocent ridicule countless times and his daughter-in-law's training, Yan Shengrui gradually grasped the essentials. The exquisite butterfly, the leaping carp, and the lively rabbit were all slowly drawn out, holding the finished product Xiaotuanzi couldn't even mention how happy he was.
Afterwards, Zeng Shaoqing also took Chu Yunhan to play. With Yan Shengrui's lessons learned, the two of them drew it in one go. When they played enough to leave, everyone's hands were full of sugar figurines, but Ling Jingxuan I didn't treat the peddler badly, after all, he disturbed his business. Before he left, he specially gave him an ingot of ten taels of silver. I made a whole ten taels of silver.
"Daddy, can I eat?"
"Go back and eat with my sister and the others."
"Oh, but it seems oh, I'm going to drool??"
"Then flow!"
"what."
Accompanied by the conversation between the father and son and Xiaotuanzi's last wail, a group of five people gradually disappeared into the crowd. No one noticed that on the second floor of a shop not far away, by the slightly opened window, there was a lingering expression on their faces. Jiang Yuyang has been watching them off with complicated eyes. Until now, he still can't accept that the only person who made him compromise and want to get it is Princess Sheng. After going to the mountains for a while, he came back again, but he still couldn't help it. Wanting to see him, wanting to make sure everything is true, every day he would go to this area to find a random teahouse and sit there, and it was the same today. I didn't expect him to see it, but it directly made him desperate, especially watching When he and Yan Shengrui were in love with each other's sugar figurines, he almost rushed down and took them apart abruptly. It turned out that he was really Prince Cheng, someone else's wife, really? ?It will never be his!
