"Brother, everything is fine, but if you are really worried, you can ask yourself later." Yu Shuyue said with a smile.
"Long time no see, Ah Yue teased me again." Liu Ruoxi nodded her friend's forehead.
"Speaking of which, Ah Yue, the capital here is indeed much more prosperous than outside the Great Wall, and the women here are also very beautiful."
Liu Ruoxi is no better than Yu Shuyue. She was born outside the Great Wall and has never left the Great Wall in the past fourteen years. This visit to the capital is her first time traveling far away.
Looking at the bustling street market, the lively crowds, and the delicate makeup on the woman's face, all of this made her feel novel.
"Ah Yue, you came to the capital half a year ahead of me, so you have to show your kindness as a landlord."
"Of course. You just arrived today and you should have a good rest after all the hard work. Tomorrow I will take you to the bustling Shangjing City to have a good time."
As soon as her friends arrived, Yu Shuyue became more energetic and the smile on her face never stopped.
The two chatted for a long time, and at the beginning of the Youshi period, Yu Hengyue had not yet returned to his house from the military camp.
Liu Ruoxi and her father just arrived in Beijing today. She has been out for too long and can no longer stay in the Yu Mansion waiting to see that person.
She and Yu Shuyue agreed to visit the capital together the next day, then got into the carriage and returned home.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Liu Ruoxi's carriage left the Yu Mansion, Yu Hengyue strode into the mansion with an oil bag in hand, calling his sister loudly.
"Ah Yue, let's see what delicious food my brother has brought back for you."
"Brother, why did you come back home just now?"
Seeing her brother walking towards her with an expectant look on his face while carrying a bag of oil, she looked outside the door, but there was nothing there.
This was only a quarter of an hour apart, and Liu Ruoxi had already left.
She didn't understand what her friend was thinking.
She just arrived in the capital today, and there should have been many things waiting for her to do, but instead she stayed at home for three hours.
She definitely didn't just want to talk to him, she just waited for so long and finally missed him.
Yu Hengyue was stunned for a moment by his sister's rhetorical question, and then asked with concern: "The military camp was busy today, and I was delayed for a while on the road, so I came back a little late. But what happened, Ah Yue?"
"I see, brother, Ruoxi arrived in Shangjing today."
After Yu Shuyue said this, she stared at her brother's expression seriously, and saw that Yu Hengyue's expression had not changed at all, and his tone was not even as excited as when he first came back.
"Oh, yeah, it's pretty good."
"Brother──"
"Ah Yue, look what Brother Wei brought back to you."
Yu Hengyue was not very interested in the Liu family's father and daughter. He held the oil-wrapped paper in front of Yu Shuyue like a treasure and interrupted her.
"What?"
Yu Shuyue successfully attracted the attention of the thing in his hand, but he deliberately kept it secret from her.
There was a faint sweet smell in the air. She sniffed her nose and then looked a little disappointed, "Isn't it just roasted chestnuts with sugar? There's nothing strange about it."
At first, seeing the way he looked at her expectantly, she thought it was some delicacy, just roasted chestnuts with sugar.
Her attention was diverted from the food, and she quickly remembered what he had interrupted before.
"Brother──"
"This is not an ordinary sugar-fried chestnut. This is a long-established sugar-fried chestnut in East Street Alley. It is said that it has been open since the previous dynasty. Now it is a century-old store. There are many people queuing up to buy chestnuts every day.
, I spent a lot of effort to buy it for my brother, please try it quickly."
But before she could speak, she heard Yu Hengyue strongly recommending the things in his hands to her.
"Is it so difficult to buy? No wonder Brother came back so late today. I won't hurt Brother if I don't give it a try."
After hearing that these sugar-roasted chestnuts were so hard to buy, she became really interested.
Yu Hengyue gave the oil paper to the attendant beside him, and then peeled it off for her himself.
"Well, it's really delicious. It's sweet, soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy. It's really good."
This was indeed slightly different from the sugar-roasted chestnuts that Yu Shuyue had eaten before. Yu Heng saw that she liked them more and more, so he kept peeling them for her, and even asked Shaoyao to prepare tea for her so that she would not choke accidentally.
"Brother, Ruoxi chatted with me for several hours in my house today. I wanted to wait until you came back to meet and say hello to you before leaving, but you didn't come back after waiting for a long time."
Yu Shuyue talked while eating the chestnuts he kept peeling and handing over.
"Isn't it true that as soon as her front foot left, you came back with her back foot, brother, how about──"
She moved her head closer to Yu Hengyue, with a hint of expectation on her face, "Tomorrow I want to go shopping with Ruoxi in the bustling Shangjing City. Can brother accompany us?"
"The military camp is busy with food today, so I can't accompany you personally, but I can send someone to protect your safety."
"Okay, you can accompany us if you have nothing to do, but there is no need to send someone. This is under the emperor's feet and it is broad daylight. Nothing will happen. Brother, don't be too nervous."
Yu Shuyue knew that what happened last time had caused some sequelae to her brother, and now he had not neglected her matters.
"Brother, don't worry, it's really okay. Besides, we two girls are just going to take two maids with us when we go shopping. I don't think we need anything else..."
"I'll let someone follow you in the dark so I won't disturb you. Is that okay?"
They had only been back in Beijing for half a year when something like this happened. Now that she was going out without him, Yu Heng couldn't let go of her.
Seeing that his sister wanted to speak, he raised his hand to silence her.
"Okay, there's no need to say anything else. It's settled. You go out on the street tomorrow, and I will have someone follow you secretly to protect you and make sure not to disturb your fun."
Seeing that his brother was very serious when he said it, he knew that there was no need to discuss this matter. This chapter has been completed!
