Chapter 570 Xiao Yafang's Heartbeat
"It tastes really good, sweet but not greasy, and not dry." Yue Ruyan gently lifted her veil, took a small bite, and commented.
"Husband, you try it too." Xiao Yunxi took out a piece and handed it to Chen Mo's mouth, the action was very intimate.
This made Xiao Ya, who took out a piece of peach blossom cake and intended to hand it to Chen Mo, embarrassed and shy to take her hand back. She glanced at Chen Mo and the other two, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she found that she was not noticed.
Fortunately, the veil was covered, and the light blush on her face was not noticed.
Although Jiangnan is not all rich and powerful, Jiangnan is the richest in the world and has been rich for thousands of years. In addition to the long-standing aristocratic families, there are also many wealthy merchants who are rich enough to rival the country.
The living standards of the local people are much better than other places. Every household can have a meal to eat. People in Jiangnan City can even maintain a basic standard of living and eat meat once in a while.
Qinhuai City does not have the messy and rough buildings of Longyou, nor is it as rigid and serious as Tianchuan and Luonan. There are small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers along the way, and there are almost no duplicates.
There is a small river flowing through the city, and there are boatmen who row boats to make a living. The boats are very slow. Sitting on the boat, you can visit half of Qinhuai City in half a day.
However, most of the people who take the boat are young men and scholars, who meet up with a few friends, or call girls from brothels to chat about everything, love and love.
"Come quickly, the Qin family rice shop is distributing rice again. Whether you are from Qinhuai or other places, you can come and receive half a catty of rice."
"Let's go and take a look."
"The Qin family has been kind recently. They distributed rice twice some time ago, and now they are distributing rice again."
"Not only the Qin family, but also the heads of the He family and the Song family went out of the city to help the poor."
"..."
"This Qinhuai is great. Not only can you not see a beggar, but there are so many kind people." Chen Mo naturally heard these discussions and was slightly surprised.
In today's chaotic world, no matter how prosperous and stable the place is, there are beggars, but there is not a single one in Qinhuai City.
Xiao Yunxi said: "There were some in this city before, but the masters in the city couldn't stand these, so they drove the beggars out of the city."
Chen Mo: "..."
"As for distributing rice and helping the poor, I have never seen these families so generous before." As she said this, Xiao Yunxi looked at Xiao Ya. She was obviously not as clear as Xiao Ya about the recent events in the city.
"I heard from the old lady that after the news of Brother Mo's public trial in Fengzhou spread to Yangzhou, many big families in Jiangnan were afraid that Brother Mo would settle accounts with them later, so they started to be kind and generous recently." Xiao Ya said softly, taking out a handkerchief and wiping her mouth.
Chen Mo didn't know what to say.
But to be honest, for now, Chen Mo didn't dare to hold a public trial in Jiangnan.
Fengzhou is just a few small families, even if they resist, they can't do anything.
But Jiangnan is different, the water is deep, if he dares to hold a public trial in Jiangnan, it would be a knife to himself.
The four of them walked from the west to the east of the city, and at noon, they went to a restaurant in the west of the city for a full meal, and then took a short rest and continued to walk.
From the west to the south of the city, Xiao Yunxi selected some fine silk for Chen Mo to make a robe for Chen Mo.
After eating candied haws, he made a candy man by himself.
I have seen stones broken on the chest, swords swallowed in the mouth, barefoot walking on mountains of knives and seas of fire, and taking copper coins from boiling oil pans.
After buying all kinds of food and clothes, the personal soldiers following behind carried large and small bags.
Xiao Yunxi and Yue Ruyan had taken off their veils long ago.
After all, when you see something delicious, you have to buy it and taste it, and it is inconvenient to wear a veil.
Nearing dusk, the four of them were ready to go home.
Suddenly, Xiao Yunxi stopped in front of a vendor, holding a pair of exquisite earrings and came to Chen Mo, showing a little girl's smile and said: "Husband, do you like it?"
Xiao Yunxi has worn all kinds of expensive and exquisite jewelry. The jewelry sold by street vendors is definitely not as good as what she has. The reason why she had the idea of this pair of cheap earrings was that she was in a good mood. At this moment, the environment was just right, so she wanted to buy it.
Chen Mo would not spoil the fun. Not only did he say it was beautiful, but he also put it on Xiao Yunxi himself.
Then, Chen Mo also picked a beautiful bracelet for Yue Ruyan in front of the stall.
Xiao Ya looked at the three people holding jewelry and laughing, looking intimate. For some reason, she always felt a little lost. Today, she felt like an outsider and had never been integrated.
Just when her eyes were a little dim, the light in front of her eyes suddenly dimmed.
She looked up and found that Chen Mo was holding a hairpin in front of her. Seeing her looking at it, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Do you like it?"
"Ah?"
"I find this hairpin very beautiful and it suits you very well. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Give it to me?" Xiao Ya was stunned, and then her heartbeat quickened. She couldn't help but think about it. When a man gives a woman a hairpin, it is usually to express his affection. Now Brother Mo gave her a hairpin, wouldn't it be
Xiao Ya's face instantly turned red, and she said in a mosquito-like voice: "I like it."
"Then Brother Mo will help you change it."
Chen Mo stabilized Xiao Ya's bun, took off her original hairpin, and replaced it with the one he just bought.
Chen Mo is a head taller than Xiao Ya. Standing in front of Xiao Ya, the latter smells the masculine scent emanating from him and feels Chen Mo inserting a hairpin into her hair. Xiao Ya suddenly feels a sense of happiness and security.
The disappointment just now was swept away at this moment, and there was a little moisture in her eyes.
When they were shopping in the daytime, Chen Mo might have done some small details unintentionally or casually, which suddenly magnified in Xiao Ya's eyes.
For example, when they were eating at noon, Chen Mo picked up a piece of meat for her and asked her to eat slowly.
When eating the candy man, he reminded her to be careful that the candy man would melt and fall on her clothes.
"It seems that I have a good eye, it's really beautiful." Chen Mo took a step back, looked at it, and handed the hairpin he had changed to Xiao Ya.
After Xiao Ya took it, she was so shy that she couldn't say a word.
When they went back, it was already dark.
They also watched a show of iron flower making.
While watching, Xiao Ya found that Xiao Yunxi did not stand next to Chen Mo, and did not remind her, but stood over by herself.
After Xiao Yunxi found out, she was just stunned, and then a smile appeared on her face.
As soon as she returned to the Xiao residence, Xiao Ya suddenly put the hairpin she had changed into Chen Mo's hand: "Brother Mo, this is for you."
After saying that, before Chen Mo could speak, Xiao Ya blushed, lowered her head, and ran away quickly.
"This time, Xiao Ya really wants to marry you." Xiao Yunxi said faintly.
Just strolling in Tianjie, Chen Mo has captured the hearts of the girls.
Chen Mo touched his nose and said nothing.
When they returned to the villa, the housekeeper of the Xiao residence came over: "Duke Anguo, during the day, Miss Zhihua from Huaxianglou sent someone to give you an invitation letter."
