Chapter 283 How could it be her?
After exiting the gate of Shangshu Mansion, they identified the direction and walked forward, one large and one small.
Walk a short distance away and cross an alley to reach the main street. Before entering the capital, Hong Xiaoduo had seen the map of the capital, which he bought at a black market price from a bookstore.
If it wasn’t for Quan Jinghuai’s prompting, she wouldn’t be able to buy it at all.
The map draws the layout of the streets in the capital in detail, with very strict planning and symmetry.
With the palace as the center and the streets surrounding it in a grid, it can be seen that the rulers attached great importance to the management and control of the capital.
The streets extend east-west and north-south, including the inner city, the imperial city, the palace city and the outer city.
Hong Xiaoduo has a good memory, but she has not yet reached the stage of photographic memory, so she asked Quan Jinghuai and wrote down some of the most prosperous and lively main streets.
There are many shops on both sides of the main street, and there is a lot of traffic and people. Kaiyang can't help but relax his little face that has been sullen.
The carriages, horses and sedan chairs of dignitaries and the pedestrians of the common people passed in an orderly manner. The guise of the shops swayed gently in the wind, and the various hawking sounds were intertwined, but it did not make people feel noisy.
In modern times, Hong Xiaoduo also visited several ancient cities and film and television cities.
However, the feeling is completely different from what I saw and heard in front of me, and there is no comparison at all.
The hand that Hong Xiaoduo was holding passively also shook Kaiyang's little hand in return. The grandson that the Wei family had found through all kinds of twists and turns was lost at the door of someone else's house. What a shame!
Feeling the force of being held back, Kaiyang pursed his lips, turned his head slightly and glanced at the person beside him, then shook his head and told himself not to think about that tangled matter first, and just follow She happily went shopping together, and just wanted to be happy for now.
"Sesame balls? Kaiyang, we have never eaten this before, do you want to try it?" Hong Xiaoduo actually saw a shop selling fried sesame balls, wrapped in white sesame seeds and followed the waiter in the oil pan. The fluctuations of the bamboo chopsticks become more and more round.
"Yeah." Kaiyang responded.
Although it is not as exciting a response as before, for Hong Xiaoduo, this is already very good, and it is better than being so petty with yourself that you don't want anything.
"It's your treat." Hong Xiaoduo asked for two, took one himself, and looked at Kaiyang who reached out to catch the sesame ball and said.
Kaiyang just looked at the sesame ball in his hand and responded: "I am a child, I have no money."
Hong Xiaoduo wanted to say, no, kid, you have money now Yes, you are the grandson of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. The only thing is that your mother's family is richer.
But considering that I didn't have much time to say those words to him, it's not appropriate to make such a joke now.
Be kind, do you have to make the child cry? I may never have the chance to get along with this kid again, let alone go shopping, so cherish it!
If you want to pay, you have to take it from your wallet, but now you have a sesame ball in one hand and Kaiyang is holding it in the other.
She twitched her hand, but it didn't twitch: "Let go."
"I don't." Kaiyang firmly refused, even though the numbness that had just come out of the pot was in the other hand. The ball was a little hot, but I couldn't bear to change hands.
There was no way to get him to let go. He would rather throw away the sesame balls that smelled delicious and looked delicious, but would never let her let go.
Hong Xiaoduo looked at the awkward child and said helplessly: "How can I pay if you don't let go?"
After hearing her words, Kaiyang looked at her hand, He looked at the purse around her waist again, and then reluctantly let go of her hand. Hong Xiaoduo raised his hand and moved for a moment. During the short walk from Shangshu Mansion, his hand, which was a little sore from being held too tightly, slowly regained its color. Then he watched Xiao Kaiyang quickly change the sesame ball to With the other hand, he put the burned hand to his mouth and blew it, making his eyes and nose feel a little sore.
After taking out some money and handing it to the waiter, he also changed the hand of the sesame ball, then quickly stood on the other side of Kaiyang and reached out to hold him. The two hands that were heated by the sesame balls were tightly held together.
Hong Xiaoduo didn't look at Kaiyang's expression. He only felt that this time, the child didn't have the same vindictive strength as before, and his hand was looser.
"Bite gently, the sugar juice inside is still very hot." Hong Xiaoduo reminded softly.
"Oh, I got it." Kaiyang responded without looking at her. The two of them walked forward slowly, neither of them in a hurry to eat the delicious food in their hands.
After taking a few steps, Kaiyang asked softly: "Have you ever eaten this before?"
"I have, but the shell looks the same. I don't know if the fillings inside are the same. Similarly, what I used to eat was stuffed with black sesame and icing sugar, and in some places it was stuffed with bean paste," Hong Xiaoduo told.
Kaiyang thought for a while, then said: "You call this Ma Ball, but I saw that the door of that shop said "Ma Ball."
Hong Xiaoduo looked at the child beside him, no matter what he was talking about, As long as he is willing to talk to me, it will be fine.
"Probably, the names are different in each place. Maybe, the appearance looks the same, but the ingredients, fillings and methods are different." After saying that, Hong Xiaoduo really thought Eat the sesame balls in your hands.
"Then let's eat this and have lunch later?" Kaiyang watched her start eating from the corner of his eye, and after finishing speaking, he took a small bite.
No matter whether the thing in your hand is called a sesame ball or a sesame ball, it smells delicious and looks delicious, and when you bite it, it is indeed delicious. The outer shell is fried crispy, and there is the fragrance of sesame in the mouth. It has the aroma of flour and a bit of sweet and juicy filling.
The two looked at each other and smiled. It was really sesame and icing sugar!
"Kaiyang, if not, let's eat first and then continue shopping?" Hong Xiaoduo suggested.
Although the sesame balls are wrapped in oil paper, the street is too crowded with people. Even if you are not afraid of getting it on other people's clothes, you are still afraid of being accidentally bumped by others and getting all over yourself.
“Oh, here?” Kaiyang responded while taking a look at a location on the roadside, the door of a shop.
The two people walked over immediately. This time, Hong Xiaoduo didn't speak, and Kaiyang let go of his hand.
One big and one small, standing against the wall, eating the delicious food in their hands as if no one else was watching.
The capital city is more prosperous than other places. Seeing this young and old standing at the wall eating, especially their appearance and dress, although no one stopped to watch, it still attracted the attention of others.
The way Hong Xiaoduo is dressed does not look like a lady raised by a noble man. No one thinks it is indecent for a young girl to stand on the wall eating in the street. On the contrary, they all think it is quite special. People can't help but want to take a few more glances.
At this time, a carriage slowly passed by. A person sitting in the carriage looked out the window with all kinds of boredom. He suddenly approached the window and looked behind, but the pedestrians were blocking it. His sight.
He frowned slightly and sat upright again, wondering in his heart, could it be her he just saw?
Immediately, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. What was wrong with him? How could he forget what she said that day, the capital was a place of right and wrong, a place she could not avoid. How could that woman just now be her...
