Jiang Fang withdrew his gaze and asked, "Are you here alone because you want to wait for Xiao Huaijin?"
Xiao Yao's slightly smiling face froze instantly. He originally thought that no one would notice this matter, but Jiang Fang hit the nail on the head.
He leaned against the pillar and swayed slightly, then reached out and touched his nose to cover up his embarrassment, and said, "What should I wait for him to do?"
Jiang Fang didn't expose it and asked: "I didn't know that this market was so lively today. There are more people than during the day."
Xiao Yao said: "We are preparing for the Qiao Qiao Festival these days. Can there not be too many people? In addition, the Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, so the market is naturally busy.
Are you really the current third princess? You don’t even know about this Qiqiao Festival, and all the ladies from other families have started to prepare things."
Jiang Fang said: "Do you only remember what Xiao Huaijin said? As I said, I am a different young lady. I only like the small space in the kitchen. I don't care about needlework such as embroidery."
Xiao Yao walked a few steps in, then looked at Jiang Fang's delicate face and said, "It's a pity that you look like this. My mother said that if you stay in the kitchen all the time, you will turn into a yellow-faced woman.
Girls from all these families are taking advantage of this good day to show off their talents, and maybe they can find a good husband. I advise you to follow suit, otherwise you will really become a yellow-faced woman and no one will want her."
Ban Xia was about to say that Xiao Yao's words were neither serious nor serious, but Jiang Fang smiled and said, "Why do women show off their talents to find a husband?
If you want to find a perfect husband, shouldn't you look at how that man is doing? If you get married just for the sake of getting married, wouldn't you be living up to the sad and beautiful love myth of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?"
Xiao Yao didn't expect Jiang Fang to say this. Since ancient times, men have chosen women. If women don't show their talents, how can they be favored by good families?
But Jiang Fang said that women should also have the right to choose men. This is a novel statement, but since ancient times, women have been marrying high. Since they want to marry high, how can they have the right to choose?
Jiang Fang picked up the hairpin on a stall at hand and said: "I haven't thanked you properly for escorting us all the way back to the capital. Since we met today, I should thank you properly.
It's still early and there's no curfew. If you want to go shopping, I'll accompany you. Of course, I'll pay for all the expenses, so I won't treat you badly."
Xiao Yao looked at the couples around him and said, "Could it be that someone stole your sweetheart from you, so you are dissatisfied and want to use me to fill the vacancy?"
Banxia angrily scolded: "Glib tongue!"
Jiang Fang smiled and said: "You are thinking well. There is another one at home waiting for you to get married when you return. Are you still interested in finding one when you get to the capital?"
Xiao Yao felt that chatting with Jiang Fang was really boring. Jiang Fang just couldn't afford it. Every time he teased her, she would be speechless. This woman really had no talent for chatting.
Jiang Fang accompanied Xiao Yao walking on the street. It was getting later and later, but there were more and more people. Jiang Fang asked: "There seem to be more people, especially the Linjiang Pavilion. It looks like it is full of people."
ah."
Xiao Yao casually glanced at Linjiang Pavilion and said, "Maybe his cook is really good. I heard that the previous chef was the cook of the imperial kitchen in the palace.
When I went back last time, I forgot about the taste of the food. The wine was still very good, but it was a bit expensive and ordinary people may not be able to afford it."
Jiang Fang remembered how drunk Xiao Yao was last time and said, "Have you figured out what happened in the last imperial examination?"
Xiao Yao sighed and said: "There is nothing I can't figure out. Now that the matter has come to this point, I have no other choice but to admit that I am unlucky.
But if I don't pass the exam, I will go home. Now I have a headache thinking about the marriage at home. I don't want to get married, but the pressure at home is tight."
Jiang Fang said: "But I heard that something happened in the palace when it was sealed, and the dirty things hidden there were discovered by the Queen Mother.
We are currently making rectifications, and it seems that this year’s imperial examination lists are all invalid. It is estimated that after the Queen Mother’s birthday, the examination will be reorganized.”
Xiao Yao's eyes lit up and he asked: "Is this true?"
Jiang Fang nodded, looked at Xiao Yao who was full of excitement and said: "Since you don't care about this, why are you obsessed with the imperial examination? If it is to avoid marriage, I think it is better to make it clear in front of your parents."
Xiao Yao's eyes flashed and he said: "Of course I don't care about the court, but it would be a pity if the great rivers and mountains of Yong State were left unprotected.
The intrigues and intrigues in the court are really not suitable for me, but I don’t want to waste my talents in vain, I want to be a useful person.”
Jiang Fang admired Xiao Yao's lofty ideals very much. He originally thought that he would be as carefree and carefree as his name suggests, but he did not expect that he would turn out to be a loyal man who serves the country.
Then Jiang Fang said: "In fact, no matter whether it is above the court or far away on the border, wherever there are people, there will be open and covert struggles. As you said, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.
So if you really want to use your skills for the country, then you will inevitably be unable to escape some battles, so you have to be prepared."
Xiao Yao smiled and said nothing. Perhaps he was thinking too simply. A place with people can never be clean.
At this time, the crowd seemed to be in a commotion. Jiang Fang was hit by the crowd. Xiao Yao immediately helped Jiang Fang up and protected him in his arms.
From a distance, Jiang Fang seemed to feel someone watching him, so he followed the feeling and looked over, only to see Duan Jiu's thin figure standing not far away.
His eyes were fixed on this side. Jiang Fang didn't know if he felt guilty, so he subconsciously turned his head away, unwilling to look at Duan Jiu.
Duan Jiu just stood at a distance, looking at the pair of beauties. He could not mistake them. Although there were no red spots on his face, they clearly looked like Jiang Fang.
Isn't it the Banxia from the Splendid Palace that is following her? It turns out that Jiang Fang looked so beautiful after the red spots on her face disappeared.
But when in front of him, Jiang Fang always has that terrifying red spot. Yes, Jiang Fang's medical skills are so powerful, how could he not be able to heal his face?
So she has been carrying that red spot because there is no one around her who is worthy of her showing the most perfect side of herself, right?
But Jiang Fang in front of this young man in white was so stunning.
