Chapter 334
The capital city was prosperous and the market was quite lively. As they walked on the street, everyone was very enthusiastic. From time to time, someone gave them something and some even entertained them warmly.
Zhou Yanyan was very happy, and her eyes kept looking around, afraid of missing out on anything new and interesting. Her brother Zhou Shuo followed behind her.
Yang Qingxue seemed uninterested in the bustling market and wandered around bored. Seeing Zhou Yanyan's cheerful figure in front of her, she also smiled.
He recalled the times he had traveled with his master, and it had been like this before, with him disappearing several times. But this time, she refused to acknowledge him, and it seemed like the two of them had reached the end.
Thinking of this, Yang Qingxue walked aimlessly with her head down.
Noticing her lack of interest, Yu Yang asked, "Didn't you get enough rest?"
Yang Qingxue shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I used to be like Junior Sister Zhou, I liked to be surrounded by people."
He wanted to hear her continue, but she paused and didn't say anything more. She just sighed. Yu Yang had no choice but to comfort her: "If you have something pent up in your heart, it's better to untie it."
"I don't want to think about it anymore. I haven't been to this market for a long time."
The two of them realized that the others had disappeared long ago. At this time, a little girl ran up to Yang Qingxue with a bouquet of flowers and said, "Sister, this is for you."
"This..." Before Yang Qingxue could react, the child ran away.
It was a freshly picked gardenia, pure white with a faint fragrance. She held the flower and sniffed it. When she raised her eyes, two more children ran over.
One person held up a candied haws and said, "Sister, this is for you."
"What is this for?" Yang Qingxue was puzzled.
"This candied haws is delicious. The hawthorns are big and round, and the sugar coating is thick."
Yu Yang was also surprised, "You are very popular today!"
Yang Qingxue shook her head and said, "I stopped eating a long time ago because my teeth hurt."
The two children looked at her eagerly, "Please, accept it!"
"All right then!" She accepted it and thanked him, but the two children ran away.
Yang Qingxue smiled and handed the candied haws to Yu Yang, "Brother Yu, are you interested in trying it?"
"Thank you so much!"
The two passed by a restaurant, and a woman came up to them enthusiastically, "Is this Miss Qingxue?"
Yang Qingxue looked at the person who came and asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh, what a coincidence! It's an honor for our shop to have you passing by. I'm the proprietress here, call me Jiu Niang." The proprietress was very enthusiastic. "Could you please come and sit in our shop and try some of our signature dishes? I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
“If it doesn’t taste good, I won’t pay for it. If it tastes good, I won’t pay for it either
The people on the side started to make noises, "Really, Madam Boss? If this doesn't taste good, you can give me a free meal!"
Jiu Niang glared at him and then stepped forward to argue: "What's your turn? Don't get involved here. Come and eat, you can't miss a single cent. Dare to miss one and try it!"
"But the girl is different." She wanted to grab the person, but Yu Yang stopped him.
Yang Qingxue frowned, "No, I'm not hungry, thank you"
"Hey, girl, hey, here I am!"
"Oh, the person is fine." After failing to rescue the person, the proprietress had no choice but to turn around and go back to the store.
"Something strange today?"
Yang Qingxue also found it strange. How could someone stuff things into her mouth when she was just walking on the street? Dried fruits, candied fruits, snacks, etc. "Then let's go back!"
When they came back, they saw Yang Qingxue sitting aside eating sugar-roasted chestnuts, and there was a pile of food on the table.
Liu Mengqin was a little surprised by all this. She had been shopping for a long time and never bought as much as these two people. "Wow, you bought so many things in the back!"
"I didn't buy them. They were all given to Qingxue by the store."
Yang Qingxue invited: "Sit down and eat together"
"A gift?" Xu Yi looked at a bag of cakes, picked up a piece and tasted it. "It tastes good, Junior Sister Liu, try this."
"Oh," she was still curious, "Why did those stores give you these?"
Yu Yang explained, "Those merchants said they were thanking her for exorcising the demon and were offering a small profit as a reward for saving her life."
"Of course! Junior Sister Yang, when will you do something good behind our backs?"
"Where are the Zhou brothers and sisters?" Yu Yang asked.
"Don't mention it, there are too many people." Xu Yi took the tea handed over by Liu Mengqin, "That Junior Sister Zhou is very playful and insisted on dragging her brother to go shopping."
"I heard there's a river called the Lantern River. Sometime at night, people will release lanterns on the river. Thousands of lanterns will float down the river, swaying and turning it into a gorgeous river of lights on the river surface. It must be beautiful. Let's go see it together, Axue."
Hearing this, Yang Qingxue looked up suddenly, "The Ullambana Festival is coming so soon."
"You know!" Liu Mengqin chuckled, "You've been so worried since you came here."
Yang Qingxue touched her cheek and looked at everyone. "Is it obvious?"
Xu nodded. "That's quite obvious, except for that girl Zhou Yanyan."
"Girl, you look kind, can you please accept my kindness?"
