Chapter 194: Is it going to be bad luck?
"Please help me wrap this too." Su Mian pointed to a cute and exquisite puppet on a street vendor's stall.
Li Nanqiao took out the silver from her pocket and handed it to the vendor with ease. At this time, her hands were already piled with all kinds of items, and her movements were somewhat difficult.
Looking at the graceful and enthusiastic figure walking in front of her, she remembered that in the morning, the eldest princess called her over and asked her to accompany Su Mian for the next period of time.
It was then that she learned her real name.
"It's all up to her."
The eldest princess only said these few words in the end.
It was at that moment that Li Nanqiao truly realized the importance of Miss Su Mian in the eldest princess' heart.
"Miss Su, it's almost noon. Why don't we go eat something first?" Seeing that Su Mian wanted to continue shopping, Li Nanqiao hurriedly spoke to persuade her.
If she continued walking around, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold on to these things.
Su Mian stopped and thought about it. He did feel a little hungry, so he agreed to her suggestion: "Okay, what's delicious in this city?"
"The most famous one is naturally Caiyue Tower."
"It's the Gu family's Caiyue Tower. I've heard of it in the capital, but I've never had the chance to try it."
Caiyue Tower has branches in all the big cities in Dayan, and there is one in the capital as well. Su Mian looked at her with his bright eyes, and his eyebrows curved: "Then let's go to Caiyue Tower first."
When a beautiful woman smiles, the surrounding scenery pales in comparison.
Li Nanqiao lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly at her smiling face, and silently lowered his head to lead the way.
After entering, Su Mian thought for a moment and took out a seal from her body. This was given to her by Jinyang before she left. He said that this seal could be used for consumption in any shop of Gu's Commercial Bank.
"Dear guests, please come in!"
The owner of Caiyue Tower immediately changed his attitude when he saw the seal. He became extremely enthusiastic and even personally led the two of them to the VIP room on the second floor.
"What are your signature dishes? Please recommend them to me."
The shopkeeper enthusiastically recommended the store's signature dishes to her. Li Nanqiao took this opportunity to ask someone to deliver the things Su Mian had purchased in the morning to the eldest princess's residence.
When she entered the room again, Su Mian was playing with the seal in his hand out of boredom. Seeing her come in, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "It is said that Jin Yang has a close relationship with the head of the Gu family. Have you ever met him?"
"Your Highness's private affairs, I dare not make irresponsible comments."
"How boring." Su Mian glanced at her and was too lazy to ask her. "I heard that the head of the Gu family will also come to Yizhou in a few days. I will go and see for myself then and I will know."
"I just heard from the shopkeeper that the hot pot in Caiyue Tower is very good, but it's not very suitable nowadays due to the hot weather."
Li Nanqiao poured her a cup of tea and introduced: "Indeed, if we eat hot pot around the stove in winter, the atmosphere will definitely be better. If Miss Su wants to try it, I can make it in my house one day. It will taste better if there are more people."
"So you can make it yourself in the mansion?"
Li Nanqiao nodded, "Caiyue Tower also provides delivery service. But the kitchen in His Highness's residence will make it..."
Su Mian rested her chin on her hand while gazing at the scenery outside the window, while listening to Li Nanqiao introduce various new things. The ordered food was served one after another.
Although Su Mian ordered a lot, he didn't have a big appetite and only tasted a few bites of each dish.
Most of them were taken care of by Li Nanqiao. She had always had a bigger appetite than ordinary people. Later, when she joined the army, she had to train every day, which consumed a lot of energy, so she ate even more.
After eating and drinking, Su Mian clapped his hands, regained his spirits, and stood up: "Let's go, there are still many places to visit?"
Li Nanqiao couldn't help but be surprised.
She could tell that Su Mian was not someone who had never seen the world, and her gestures were also noble. But when she was shopping today, she looked like someone who had rarely seen the world.
I am interested in everything and find everything new and interesting.
She was curious and asked the question unconsciously.
"That's because... I didn't have much chance to come out before."
Li Nanqiao didn't notice that although Su Mian still had a smile on his face, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
When she was young, her family was broken up and she was secretly taken away and hidden by the housekeeper, with a new name.
As she grew older, her beauty could no longer be concealed, and she seldom went out to avoid trouble. However, the housekeeper and his family still got into trouble because of her beauty and died at the hands of criminals.
Fortunately, she was rescued by Jin Yang who was passing by. After being brought back to the capital, she basically never went out in order to hide her identity and not cause trouble for Jin Yang.
Later, for revenge and to help Jinyang, she resolutely entered the palace and was trapped within the square palace walls from then on.
It can be said that she has almost never lived an ordinary life.
Although Li Nanqiao was a little clumsy in this regard, he could feel that he seemed to have touched Miss Su's sad story. He wanted to explain, but he opened his mouth but said nothing.
"Okay, let's go." Su Mian has good self-regulation ability. He raised his foot and prepared to go downstairs, but his face suddenly darkened.
It turned out that three young men in gorgeous clothes blocked her way.
"Are you out alone, my beauty? That's so boring. Why don't I accompany you?"
His words were full of frivolous teasing, and his eyes looking at her were filled with greed and desire, as if he wanted to devour her.
Su Mian showed disgust on his face and looked at them as if they were garbage.
She was very familiar with this kind of gaze, as if she was just an object that could be manipulated at will.
Unfortunately, she is no longer the Su Mian who was at the mercy of others.
She said nothing and just stood there silently, waiting for the little commander behind her to deal with her.
In fact, when the man started teasing her, Li Nanqiao's face darkened, and these people all treated her as if she was dead.
Su Mian's beauty is so rare that many people actually stared at her secretly along the way, but they were too intimidated by Li Nanqiao's posture to dare to act.
Now these people are obviously arrogant and domineering, and they probably have quite a background.
But so what?
Seeing that Su Mian didn’t answer, one of them became bolder and even tried to reach out and pull her arm.
"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts!"
But before she could touch the corner of her clothes, she was clamped by Li Nanqiao's hand. He felt that the hand holding her wrist was like an iron clamp, making him unable to move at all.
"Hey, you bastard! Let me go!"
"You haven't heard of us, how dare you fight us? Are you tired of living?"
The guests in the restaurant hall had noticed the commotion and all looked over here.
Someone recognized the identities of the three noblemen and was secretly worried about the two girls, thinking that they were about to get into bad luck.
