live in peace(1/2)
"You..." There was fierce anger in his eyes, and he tightened his grip, "Mu Qingwan, don't ever think of me letting you go in this life, so just give up!"
Mu Qingwan was about to retort when a voice suddenly shouted from beside her:
"You two want to choose jewelry? Although my stall is small, it has all kinds of jewelry. They are all made of pure gold and silver, with good materials and novel styles..."
When Mu Qingwan took a look, it turned out that the two of them had occupied most of the stall without knowing it. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment and glared at Xia Houlie. The latter let go of his hand angrily, but his eyes were still staring at her.
She ignored him and smiled apologetically at the stall. She lowered her head and looked at the stall. It could be seen that the jewelry was carefully made, but the material was not pure. After all, it was a small business. Mu Qingwan smiled.
, I was about to pick up something and buy it to express my apology, but I found a very unique silver button in the corner. Two silver rings, one large and one small, were inlaid together. There was also a parallel lotus carved on it. In such a small
It is not easy to carve words on a silver ring, let alone carve a lifelike flower.
"Madam, you have a good eye. This Yuanyang button is the most valuable treasure in my stall. You see, it is a silver button as a whole, but when separated, it is a pair of silver rings, one large and one small, inlaid together just right.
It is a pair, with parallel lotuses engraved on it, symbolizing the couple's eternal love and unity. Many people come to me and admire its good intentions, but no couple has the exact size of these two rings, so
I’ve left it until now. Since Madam likes it, you might as well give it a try. Maybe you and your husband-in-law can match this size?”
Seeing that Mu Qingwan was so fond of mandarin duck buttons, the vendor introduced them enthusiastically.
Guaiguai, after doing business on this street for so many years, this is the first time that I have met such a pair of fairy-like figures. A look at such a person will relax the muscles, activate blood circulation and prolong life.
Mu Qingwan was originally in love with the mandarin duck buckle, but after hearing what it meant and what the vendor said behind her, her expression immediately changed. She already had a tight spell around her neck that was making her uncomfortable, and she didn't want to have another one on her hands.
He quickly put the silver button back to its original place, "Sorry, I think it's inappropriate. Excuse me."
He turned around and was about to leave, but his hand was held, "How do you know if it's not suitable if you don't try? Huh?"
The corners of Xia Houlie's lips curled up, and his suave and handsome appearance made the street vendor opposite him stare intently. Oh my god, such a handsome young man is really rare in the world. What kind of good luck did he have today? I'll come back later.
You need to show off to your neighbors.
Before Mu Qingwan could react, her right hand was taken up. She watched blankly as he opened the silver button, took out the smaller silver ring, and slowly put it on her ring finger.
So careful, so precious, it made her easily think of the scene where newlyweds exchange rings in a modern wedding ceremony.
When she woke up, the silver ring was already on her hand, and the other one was put on the ring finger of her left hand by Xia Houlie.
The two hands were placed side by side, and the two silver rings reflected each other in the sun, shining brightly.
However, anyone with a good eye for goods would know at a glance that although these two silver rings are exquisitely made, they are crude and unrefined ones after all. Compared with the jade ring on his thumb, they are really different. Look.
He was wearing a crude ring that was very inconsistent with his status on his big, fair and slender hand. Even Mu Qingwan wanted to laugh when he saw it.
She looked at him in astonishment. With his proud temperament, how could he possibly be attracted to such a thing?
The vendor was also a person who was very good at observing people's words and expressions. He smiled happily and said:
"The two distinguished guests are indeed destined to have mandarin duck buckles. Wearing them will definitely make you a husband and wife, and they will be together for a hundred years."
After hearing this, Xia Houlie was extremely satisfied and threw a gold ingot on the stall, "This is a reward for you."
The two walked forward for a long time, but Mu Qingwan still couldn't come back to her senses. She looked at the rings on her hands from time to time. She couldn't believe that the blind cat had really encountered a dead mouse. Those two rings seemed to be for her and her.
It's just as suitable as the one tailor-made by Xia Houlie.
She tried to take off the ring, but she couldn't do it. It was really weird.
"Is there anything else you want to buy?" Xia Houlie was obviously in a very happy mood. He pointed at a jade shop and said, "Why don't you go in and have a look."
Mu Qingwan was still immersed in her own thoughts, "I won't read anymore. I have nothing to buy."
"Okay, I won't read it then." Xia Houlie seemed to be particularly talkative today and continued to walk forward without forcing himself.
His strides were so huge that Mu Qingwan couldn't catch up no matter how hard he chased, so he simply followed slowly. After a while, the two of them pulled away some distance.
Seeing that the distance between the two was getting wider and wider, Mu Qingwan was about to catch up quickly when someone suddenly bumped into her. She quickly turned sideways to avoid it, but she still had a slight collision with the man.
"I'm sorry." A very low voice came to her ears. The strange man who bumped into her was dressed in black, with long hair flowing around, and his posture was tall and aloof, with a rather cold and arrogant air.
"It doesn't matter." Mu Qingwan stood firm and replied politely, without taking it to heart.
Xia Houlie, who was walking in front, turned around and saw Mu Qingwan crowded in the crowd, with a slight frown on her face, as if she was trying hard to keep up.
Seeing this, he hurriedly pushed aside the crowd, grabbed her hand and held it in his palm, "Why are you walking so slowly? You didn't eat this morning?"
"It's obvious that you walked too fast, and yet you're talking about me instead." Mu Qingwan muttered unconvinced.
Xia Houlie said with a smile, "It's my husband's fault. Okay, then I will lead you and walk slowly."
People were still coming and going on the street, shoulder to shoulder. The two of them were holding hands tightly, intertwining their fingers, and the two silver rings were also dependent on each other. Mu Qingwan knew that it was useless to struggle, not to mention that after finally going out, it was not possible.
I didn't want to disturb my mood with him, so I simply let him lead me.
Neither of them spoke anymore. They walked and stopped along the street, watched acrobatic stunts for a while, and then went to the entrance of the temple to watch a shadow puppet show. Then they bought another calligraphy and painting at a street stall.
A pack of sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Mu Qingwan could not have imagined that she and Xia Houlie, two people who usually hated each other, would hold hands and go shopping together one day. It seemed that getting along peacefully was not as difficult as imagined.
Near noon, the two of them stopped in front of a two-story, vermilion-colored, rather grand restaurant facing the street.
Mu Qingwan looked up and saw three official script characters on the plaque - Phoenix Tower.
As soon as he entered the door, the waiter greeted him warmly: "Two distinguished guests, do you want to stay in the hotel or stay in the hotel?"
"Is Mr. Jun here?"
When the waiter heard this, he asked hurriedly and kindly: "Excuse me, are you..."
Before Xia Houlie could answer, a familiar voice came from the stairs: "Hey, is the sun coming out in the west today?"
Mu Qingwan took a look and saw that it was Zhaohe.
Showa walked down quickly and said, "Why do you two want to go out for a stroll today?"
As he said that, he came closer to Xia Houlie and winked: "I have invited you several times before, but I haven't seen you show your appreciation. It turns out that there is no beautiful woman to accompany you."
Xia Houlie raised his eyebrows, glanced at Mu Qingwan, and smiled angrily: "There is so much nonsense coming to your place for a meal, please lead the way."
Zhaohe still smiled with a teasing look on his face, and was about to joke with Mu Qingwan when a cold look came from beside him, so he had to stop talking, "Okay, okay, second brother, don't be upset! Come upstairs, I'll treat you to this meal."
!”
He reached out towards the stairs and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that they both should go first and he should follow.
While walking, Mu Qingwan glanced at several tables in the lobby downstairs. After accidentally catching a glimpse of two plates of familiar food, she moved her beautiful eyebrows and glanced at Zhaohe behind her calmly, "Master Jun, this is
Do you run a restaurant?"
Zhaohe didn't see the cunning flashing across her eyes, and said proudly: "Can't you tell? Although your eldest brother and I are not talented, I can be considered a boss, but in this area..."
"So it turns out that the boss of Jun Mo Wenjun is you, little sister, I have really admired your name for a long time." Mu Qingwan suddenly interrupted him, cupped her hands in a gesture, and smiled like a triumphant fox.
"Gah?" A big smile froze on Zhaohe's face, looking very funny, "How do you know I am Jun Mowen?"
Mu Qingwan glanced at him faintly, "You just said it yourself."
"What..." Showa rolled his eyes and suddenly realized, "You actually lied to me!"
Mu Qingwan snickered a few times, then stopped when she saw Xia Houlie turning around to look at them, and quickly followed him.
The three of them came to the table next to the window on the second floor. Showa gave a few instructions to the waiter who followed him, then picked up a chair and sat down opposite.
Not long after, the waiter brought the wine and food. Xia Houlie was about to pour the wine. Mu Qingwan glared at him, grabbed the wine bottle, and called the waiter:
"Brother, could you please help me change this wine into tea?"
Zhaohe smiled and said: "I have treasured this jar of aged pear blossom wine for a long time, and I have always been reluctant to take it out to drink. I took it out today only after you two came. Why did I change it?"
"People with stomach problems should avoid eating cold, spicy food and drink less alcohol."
When Xia Houlie heard this, he was stunned. The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and he waved to the waiter: "Go and change it to tea."
Seeing his happy look, Zhaohe felt sighing and jealous at the same time, and couldn't help saying sourly:
"Second brother is really lucky to have a sister-in-law who cares so much. Hey, if I get sick one day, I'm afraid no one will know."
Xia Houlie scolded lightly:
"What are you talking about? You are young and strong, so you are not sick. Besides, if you are envious, why not get married early? At least there is someone to take care of you, so my grandmother and I can worry less about you."
When Zhaohe heard this, he thought of what Su Hanzhi said to him that night, the joking color on his face disappeared, and he said with an embarrassed smile:
"Second brother, I'm not in a hurry, so don't worry about me."
"In the past, when my eldest brother was here, I wanted to marry you. You said you were young and not in a hurry. But what about now? Why don't you want to get married?"
Xia Houlie took the teapot from his pocket and asked casually while pouring tea.
"I..." Zhaohe was speechless for a moment, his eyes looking towards Mu Qingwan involuntarily.
Xia Houlie's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table. Two clusters of flames burned faintly in the depths of his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"Do you have someone in your heart?"
"I..." Showa picked up the tea cup in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, and then said with a long sigh of relief:
"Anyway, second brother, don't worry about my affairs. I have my own sense of discretion."
Mu Qingwan looked at Xia Houlie and then at Zhaohe. She always felt that the two brothers sounded strange in their tone and demeanor today. There seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the air, which made people feel even more depressed.
The atmosphere was tense when a roar suddenly came from the door of the restaurant——
