Chapter 70: Token of love

After Su Fengnuan squeezed out the crowd, not far away, he saw Ye Chang in a corner of the dark street.
He stood there, half of his figure lit in the light, half hidden in the dark, with the lights shining on him, half becoming brighter and half extremely dim.
Su Fengnuan came to him and stood still, seeing that his face was not pretty.
Seeing her coming, Ye Chang looked at her with a cool light in his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Xu Yunchu set up a roof-top colored head to lead you to the bait. It really took so hard for you."
Su Fengnuan looked at him and rolled his eyes, "What does Yin and Yang do weirdly? Which woman is he not thinking hard about?"
Ye Chang sneered when he heard the words, "He didn't bother with any woman since he was a child. It was the peach blossoms who rushed to chase him. Uncle Xiaoguo waved his hand and countless peach blossoms flocked to him."
Su Fengnuan smiled, watching him speechless for a moment, and explained, "The reason why he tried so hard to get me to the bait is because he sent you back to Beijing that day. He followed me secretly and was blocked by me by setting up a formation on the way. Lived. He guessed faintly that I was inseparable from the sinking of the East Lake painting boat, so he grabbed me and planned to interrogate me carefully."
Ye Chang's face was slightly awkward, "I hope he doesn't think too much, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what?" Seeing that he stopped talking, Su Fengnuan glared at him with a smile, "There are so many people who think of me wrongly as the crucian carp in the river. Even if he has, he won't be in the line."
Ye Chang suddenly smiled when he heard the words, and changed the haze, warm as the wind, "Yes, he is too attractive to peach blossoms, and Nuan Nuan dislikes peach blossoms the most.
Su Fengnuan was speechless, rubbing his forehead, thinking about changing his face, Ye Chang was the number one in the world, and she was beyond reach. She turned around and looked at the downtown area, "I just met your brothers, do you want to find them?"
"Don't go." Ye Chang shook his head altogether, seeing that she was still looking at the downtown, "Want to continue shopping?"
"Turn around again." Su Fengnuan felt that it was still early, and he hadn't played much and had no fun.
Ye Chang nodded, reached out to hold her hand, and walked forward, "Then continue."
The two squeezed into the busy city again, wandering along a row of small stalls along the street.
Rouge gouache, Chinese calligraphy, KitKat toys, hairpin hairpins, etc., are squandering and charming.
These things, Su Fengnuan has been running on the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen them all, and feels nothing new. She walked around the downtown, just like a lively scene, a full of voices.
The two walked along the street, one after another, a total of nine streets. On the last street, in front of a stall, Su Fengnuan saw a thing, his eyes lit up, and he withdrew from the hand held by Ye Chang, immediately Ran over, reached out and picked it up.
When she picked up the thing, she also happened to have a slender hand reaching out to take the thing, but it was a pity that she was not as fast as Su Fengnuan, and Su Fengnuan took it first.
After Su Fengnuan took the thing in his hand, he also found the hand outstretched beside him. Looking along the slender hand, he saw a woman.
This woman was covered with a veil, slim and slender, with faint plum fragrance on her body, and a gorgeous dress. She looked very young, standing there, gentle and dignified, gentle and noble, full of ladies.
Next to her was a maid, who was dressed better than ordinary women, with a straight back and a handsome appearance.
Su Feng Nuan blinked.
The maid saw that she had taken the jade finger first, and immediately said loudly, "This girl, what you got in your hand was my lady's first fancy."
Su Fengnuan raised her eyebrows slightly, only to realize that she hadn't taken off her face towel since she got down from the roof. She smiled and asked, "Did your lady pay?"
The maid choked, "My lady stood here for a cup of tea, and she just got it."
Su Fengnuan looked at her, "That is to say, haven't paid yet? I haven't paid for a cup of tea, and I haven't paid for a cup of tea. This finger doesn't belong to your lady, right?"
The maid retorted speechlessly and looked at her own lady.
The woman was looking at Su Fengnuan at this time, and saw that she was wearing a plain and elegant dress. The material was not expensive, but the style was very simple. The face was also covered with a veil, unlike her covering her entire head. , She only covered her face and exposed a pair of eyes. These eyes were extremely beautiful, as if they could penetrate people's hearts, but they looked extremely clear, but when she looked closely, she found that it was very deep inside, as if she couldn't see through.
She stood in a casual posture, and her breath was idle. She took the jade pull finger in her hand and twisted it between her fingers. After that, she played casually, as if she didn't know its value.
The woman was silent for a moment, looked at the jade finger in Su Fengnuan's hand, and said to her, "This girl wants this jade finger too?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Yes."
The woman said again, "This jade finger is expensive. If the girl plays so casually without cherishment, it's better to let me. I did see a cup of tea here."
Su Fengnuan looked at her, "You only saw a cup of tea before you made up your mind to want it, but I took a look and wanted it."
The woman was silent for a while.
The maid quit, and immediately said, "Why are you like this? Can you afford it? My lady..."
"Lingxiang, don't be rude." The woman scolded softly.
The maid shut her mouth immediately.
Su Fengnuan looked at the master and servant, smiled, and turned to the old man who set up the stall, "Old man, how much is this jade finger?"
The old man glanced at her and said to her, "Twenty thousand taels of silver."
Su Fengnuan looked down at the jade pull finger when he heard the words, wondering why she didn't start after seeing a cup of tea, it turned out to be really not cheap.
Seeing her hesitating, the woman said softly, "It's better for the girl to give it to me."
Su Fengnuan didn't speak, and quickly glanced at the corner of his eyes, and found that Ye Chang hadn't come over, standing in the distance, looking at this place.
At this time, the maid also saw Ye Chang not far away, and immediately stretched out her hand to drag the woman, and said anxiously, "Miss, look at it, it's Ye Shizi."
The woman immediately turned her head and looked. Although she was behind the veil, she seemed extremely surprised emotionally. She quickly stepped forward and stopped again, staring at Ye Chang for a long time, and whispered, " Ye... Ye Shizi?"
Ye Chang gave her a faint glance, his eyes were calm and tasteless, and he nodded.
The woman immediately said, "Ye Shizi... came to the night market alone? Not with anyone else?"
Ye Chang glanced at Su Fengnuan, and seeing her looking at him with interest, his eyes shrank and he said lightly, "No."
The woman was startled and looked around, "Why didn't you see anyone else?"
Ye Chang was silent for a moment, and said, "It's gone."
The woman smiled and said Yingying, "I saw a jade pull finger, thinking that it would suit you well, but I don't want to be picked up first..."
Ye Chang suddenly laughed, unable to hear his emotions, "It's hard for Miss Xu."
Xu Lingyi stretched out his hand to pinch the cuffs, turned his head back to Su Fengnuan, and said in a low voice, "Girl, I met someone I like, this jade finger was originally intended to be given to him, can you..."
Su Fengnuan looked at her, thinking that she was Xu Lingyi. Sleeve arms pull the curtain to snow and hit plums, but the incense burner is not lit. Even the rumor has been met.
Does she want to buy this finger to give to Ye Chang?
If she didn't go to Lingyun Temple to see the old monk medicine, maybe it would be given to her, but now...
Suddenly she sneered, stretched out her arms, took out a stack of banknotes, and counted them. After counting up to 20,000 banknotes, she handed them to the old man, "You little bit."
Xu Lingyi's expression changed.
The old man quickly picked it up, counted it again, and said with a smile, "Girl, twenty thousand taels, just right."
Su Fengnuan turned around and looked at Xu Lingyi. Through the flimsy veil and the lights of the downtown, she could also see her face extremely ugly. She smiled and said to her earnestly, "In my cognition, if you like someone and give him something, if you have money in your hand, it should be a fancy, and you should not hesitate to buy it and send it. I watched a cup of tea and haven't started it yet, it proves that I don't like it much."
Xu Lingyi looked at her and said, "You are wrong, because you like it, and I'm afraid he doesn't like it, so I'm more careful."
Su Fengnuan smiled upon hearing the words, "You make sense." When the words fell, she reached out and pointed at Ye Chang, "Do you want to give it to him?"
Xu Lingyi bit her lip and saw Ye Chang still standing faintly in the distance.
At this time, it was getting late, and the streets were no longer as crowded as there were people walking sparsely, but he just stood there, relaxed and casual, as if the lights of the whole street were shining for him, forming A picture scroll, unparalleled in the world, is the best in the world.
Xu Lingyi looked at Ye Chang and nodded unconsciously, "It's him."
Su Fengnuan looked at Ye Chang, playing with his own jade finger that had already paid the bill, and said with a smile, "This jade finger is really suitable for him. The magnificent gesture, young romantic, rich and unique, beautiful and unparalleled. "
Xu Lingyi's expression changed again when she heard her praise Ye Chang without restraint.
Su Fengnuan retracted her gaze and smiled at her, "Originally, I wanted to keep it for myself, but since I met the right person, I will give it to him." After the words fell, she walked to Ye Shang.
Ye Chang watched Su Fengnuan coming towards him, walking briskly, his eyelashes moved, his eyes flickered, but the person didn't move.
After a few steps, Su Fengnuan came to Ye Chang's side, reached out and took the hand beside him, spread it out, put the jade finger in his hand, and said with a smile, "I'm here for you."
Xu Lingyi's face turned pale, and his body shook.
The maid immediately reached out to support her, opened her eyes wide, looked at Su Fengnuan in disbelief, couldn't help shouting angrily, "You woman, you... how are you doing this? It's obviously my lady who wants to give it away ..."
Su Fengnuan turned around, looked at the master and servant, and said with a smile, "Isn't your purpose to give it to him? It's fine if he accepts it."
The maid choked, thinking that you would send it to my lady. Could it be such a thing?
Su Fengnuan ignored them and waved to Ye Chang with a smile, "You don't have to thank you, this son." When the words fell, she waved freely, turned and walked forward briskly.
Ye Chang stood on the spot, holding a jade pull finger in his hand, motionless, not knowing what he was thinking, but the whole person was quiet, not only a painting, but also a wooden stake.
The sparse flow of people coming and going will look at him, and the movements of others more and more take advantage of his calmness.
It seemed that after a long time, Su Fengnuan had gone out of sight, and Ye Chang's eyes moved, looking in the direction where she left.
At this time, Xu Lingyi stepped forward and reluctantly said, "Ye Shizi, I didn't expect...she...you..."
Ye Chang turned back and looked at her.
Xu Lingyi looked at the jade finger that he was still holding in his hand, bit his lip, and changed his mouth, "Does Ye Shizi know her?"
Ye Chang's hand holding Yubanzhi tightly, neither shook his head nor nodded.
Xu Lingyi looked at him and saw that he didn't seem to know the woman, so he said, "It looks like a woman from the rivers and lakes. I don't know what it means to give a jade finger to someone. This is probably what the world often says is that the rivers and lakes are rude."
Ye Chang didn't speak.
Xu Lingyi asked again, "Since Ye Shizi doesn't know her, how do you deal with this jade finger?"
Ye Chang lowered his head and spread out the palms of his hands. The jade fingers were crystal clear, and there seemed to be gurgling water flowing inside. It was very vivid and sluggish. No wonder it was a good thing to be caught by her, especially when he held it in his hand. Inside, warm and cool, he squeezed it with his other hand and put it on his fingers, the size was right.
People are like jade, and jade is like people.
Xu Lingyi's expression changed slightly as he watched his movements.
Ye Chang looked down at the jade finger on his finger for a moment, raised his head, and smiled faintly at Xu Lingyi, "It's getting late, Miss Xu should go back soon." The words fell, and he moved towards Su Fengnuan's direction. Go ahead.
He actually accepted this jade pull finger without saying a word.
Xu Lingyi's complexion was already white and clear, her eye circles were red, and there was water mist overflowing under her eyes, blindfolded, so that she could not see Ye Chang clearly through the veil. She bit her lip, almost bit her lip to bleed, her body trembled, her hand suddenly took off her veil, and she said loudly, "Ye Shizi, did you just accept something from an ignorant woman? ?"
Ye Chang paused.
Xu Lingyi followed him a few steps, came behind him, stared at his back, and asked word by word, "Ye Shizi, that woman is so rude, she must not be the daughter of a good family from the family of poetry, etiquette and biography. Feeling angry, you have taken her things, if you get entangled by her, what should you do?"
Ye Chang suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Lingyi, with a cold and indifferent smile in his eyes, with a hint of romanticism, "Since I have accepted her things, if she is entangled, I will marry her."
Xu Lingyi shook his body, for a moment like fallen leaves floating in the wind, completely bloodless.
Ye Chang turned the jade pull finger on his finger, Qing Yue's voice was soft and soft, "This token of love can make us a hundred years of harmony, and I would like to thank Miss Xu." After the words fell, he turned and continued to walk forward. .
Xu Lingyi softened.
That maid Lingxiang immediately stepped forward to support her, so that she would not fall down.
Ye Chang turned around a corner of the street without looking back, and disappeared.
Xu Lingyi's face was white and gray, staring at the direction of Ye Chang's disappearance, and his eyes were gray. After a long time, she shook her body, tilted her head, and fainted.
Lingxiang was frightened. He firmly supported Xu Lingyi's body and immediately shouted, "Come on, come on."
In the distance, more than a dozen guards who followed Xu Lingyi immediately ran to the front.
Lingxiang said anxiously, "Miss passed out."
The guards glanced at each other, and one of the guards said, "Uncle Xiaoguo is in a restaurant not far away, and the villain is going to call Uncle Xiaoguo."
Lingxiang nodded and urged, "Go now."
The guard went quickly.
Not long after, Xu Yunchu came out of the restaurant, hurried to the front, took a look at Xu Lingyi, reached out to take her from Lingxiang's hand and hold her, and found her pulse. After a while, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Lingxiang said with red eyes angrily.
Xu Yunchu heard this, slightly startled, "What kind of woman?"
Lingxiang was also covered with a face towel because Su Fengnuan, and without seeing her appearance, he described Su Fengnuan's clothes.
Xu Yunchu heard this, his eyes flashed with surprise, his face was tight for a moment, and he asked carefully, "She really gave that jade finger to... Ye Shizi?"
Lingxiang nodded, "Really, the maidservant can see clearly. She gave it away, and Ye Shizi took it. After the woman left, Ye Shizi said that if the token of love can make them a century-old relationship, thank you Miss. The young lady couldn't bear to faint."
Xu Yunchu pursed his lips.
Lingxiang said angrily, "Miss has ever suffered such a grievance, son, you have to be the master for her."
Xu Yunchu glanced at her, her expression returned to normal, but her gentle voice was sharp, "How many years have you been with Miss?"
Lingxiang was startled, and immediately replied respectfully, "Going back to the son, the slave and the maid have been following the lady since childhood, have they been twelve years..."
Xu Yunchu said to her, "If the woman hadn't appeared, she bought the jade finger and intended to give it to Ye Chang, if he accepts it, he will give it to her privately. If he doesn't accept it, your lady will be even more embarrassed. As her personal handmaid, you not only don't remind her, you also encourage her to let her go. Are you wrong?"
Lingxiang heard the words and knelt down with a "puff", "My son, but Ye Shizi accepted it. The woman gave it to him. He didn't resist, so he accepted it. He seemed to like the jade finger very much. If the lady gave him , He will..."
"He won't." Xu Yunchu interrupted him, "because that woman is not your lady."
Lingxiang suddenly silenced.
Xu Yunchu said in a dark face, "You have been with your lady for many years, but have you ever seen Ye Chang treat her with blue eyes? Every time he sees her, he doesn't have a good face. That's not happy. Today's Whether there is that woman or not, you should stop your lady." After a pause, he said, "It's so late. You should have persuaded her to go back long ago. You shouldn't have been delayed in the street so late."
Lingxiang trembled. He heard that Xu Yunchu was angry, and he didn't dare to argue, "The slave and maid knew they were wrong."
Xu Yunchu stopped looking at her and said coldly, "I will sell you the next time, not as an example."
Lingxiang lowered her head in trepidation, "The slave and maid would never dare anymore."
Xu Yunchu looked at the guard and asked, "Where is the carriage?"
The guard said immediately, "Just stopped at the corner of the street."
Xu Yunchu hugged Xu Lingyi and walked towards the carriage parked on the corner of the street. After getting on the carriage, Xu Lingyi put down Xu Lingyi. He remembered something and told a guard, "Go and tell the second master Chen. Say I have something, go back first."
The guard should have gone quickly.
Xu Yunchu ordered the coachman to drive the carriage, and the carriage headed towards Lingyun Temple.
In the restaurant not far away, the lights are bright, and tonight is special, and the voices in the restaurant are full of people. The whole Lingyun Town is equivalent to the city that never sleeps.
Statements, Shen Qi, Qi Shu and others ordered a lot of wine and delicacies and drank happily.
Although they didn't like Xu Yunchu, they weren't so disgusted that they didn't say anything when they met. They didn't have a good relationship, but they didn't want to trample people under their feet. Especially the situation encountered today was special. He stated that he wanted to inquire about the woman, so he dragged him to have a drink.
During the dinner, Yan Yan also laughed and talked very happily.
Halfway through the meal, a guard from the Guozhang's Mansion came and Xu Yunchu hurriedly went there. Everyone was curious about what had happened, so they followed to inquire.
When the guard Xu Yunchu sent to inform the crowd, the person who inquired also came back quietly. After the guard left, the person who inquired whispered, "The slave did not dare to come near, for fear that Uncle Xiaoguo would find out, it seems that Miss Xu passed out in the street. Uncle Xiao Guo took Miss Xu back to Lingyun Temple."
"Oh? It's so late, and Xu Lingyi is still on the street?" The statement raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why did she faint? What happened?"
The man shook his head, "Uncle Xiaoguo reprimanded the maid, but the slave didn't hear clearly, as if he had seen Ye Shizi."
The statement was stunned, "It is estimated that he was hurt by his cold words."
Shen Qi agreed, "So a beautiful lady, so infatuated, but unfortunately, the goddess has the heart, and the king has no dreams."
Qi Shu sighed, "Actually, it's not to blame Ye Chang, the lady of the government office, who dares to marry?"
Shen Qi nodded, "Yes, it's only to be blamed on her coming from the Imperial Palace."
The statement was disapproving, "I don't necessarily see Ye Chang from other residences. This woman in the capital, even Miss Su, who just returned to Beijing not long ago, counts. Who does he see?"
Shen Qi nodded, "There really is no one, no one caught him."
Qi Shu said, "No, it's not that there is no one, there is one person."
Everyone looked at him.
Qi Shu said, "Girls Sese from the Hongfenlou."
Everyone was choked for a while, "This doesn't count."
Liu Yan looked at a few people and whispered, "We stayed at Lingyun Temple for a day and we didn't see the lady from Su Mansion."
Everyone turned their attention back to this sentence.
The statement said, "It is estimated to be ugly and shameless."
Shen Qi said, "I'm not sure, Mrs. Su's appearance is higher than that of the other ladies. Ms. Su must be very beautiful. I heard that she lives with Mrs. Wang in Lingyun Temple, maybe she doesn't like the excitement and did not show up."
Qi Shu feels a little regretful, "It's really difficult to see Miss Su."
Everyone felt the same.
After Xu Yunchu left, it didn’t affect anything. Everyone was talking and chatting. Soon, Ms. Su turned to comment on the ladies of the various houses that I saw today. They have been drinking and chatting until they have had three rounds of dishes and five flavors. , Just broke up.
After Su Fengnuan gave the Yuban finger to Ye Chang in front of Xu Lingyi, he walked briskly back home.
As soon as she walked to the gate of the Shenxiang house, Ye Chang chased after her.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Su Fengnuan turned his head, leaning on the door, raising his eyebrows and looking at Ye Chang.
Ye Chang's eyebrows and eyes were smiling, even though the front door was dark and dim, he still made people feel that he was in a great mood. Even the cool night breeze blows on people, it is soft and warm.
Su Fengnuan rolled his eyes and looked at him, "What are you so excited about?"
Ye Chang chuckled, stretched out his hand, and shook it before her eyes, "I like this."
Su Fengnuan snorted, "It's just a broken finger. As for you like this?"
Ye Chang looked at her, "I just like it."
Su Fengnuan curled his lips, "I gave you countless good things before, why didn't I see you like it so much? Is it because someone snatches it and asks you to pull the finger, you like it?"
Ye Chang hooked the corners of his mouth, rubbed his fingers, said with a deep and shallow smile, "I just know today that Nuan Nuan really protects me. Naturally I like it too much."
Su Fengnuan let out a cold snort and saw Liu Kai opened the door, she stepped in.
Ye Chang followed her and walked two steps, then suddenly stopped and asked Liu Kai, "Does this finger look good?"
Su Fengnuan was speechless.
Liu Kai glanced, it was too dark to see clearly. But he nodded sincerely, "Good-looking."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "Your lady gave it to you."
Liu Kai nodded, "Miss has a unique eye. What she is after is right."
Ye Chang nodded and said solemnly, "I feel so too."
Su Fengnuan can't listen anymore, so who is the person who reversed the word pride? She looked back at him as though he still couldn't be herself, and said angrily, "You have enough."
Ye Chang shook his head, "Not enough, I want to rejoice all night."
Su Fengnuan looked at the sky, and said after a moment, "Slowly rejoice yourself. I'm going to sleep."
Ye Chang nodded.
Su Fengnuan entered the room without even turning on the light, and fell asleep.
Ye Chang stood in the courtyard for a while. Seeing that Liu Kai hadn’t left, he seemed to be waiting for him to go to bed before going to bed. He smiled and said,
Your lady did give me countless good things before, but none of them gave me today. This finger makes me happy."
Liu Kai looked at him, and he could indeed feel Ye Shizi's breath of joy all over his body. He considered it and said, "Shizi must like this finger."
Ye Chang shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not a matter of pulling a finger."
Liu Kai looked at him.
Ye Chang remembered what happened earlier, his smile couldn't close his mouth, his voice was a little gentle, "It's a matter of people's hearts."
Liu Kai didn't understand what was going on, so he couldn't answer the conversation.
Ye Chang rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, with a smile that couldn't hide the sigh, and said, "I know today that she is not unscrupulous, she really protects me."
Liu Kai nodded and said sincerely, "The lady is indeed protecting you, and everyone who follows the lady knows that your business is the lady's business, and your business is also the business of us following the lady."
Ye Chang put down his hand, looked at Liu Kai, slowly put away his smile, and whispered, "It's not enough, it's almost."
Liu Kai looked at him, wondering what he meant.
Ye Chang looked at the door of Su Fengnuan's closed room, was silent for a moment, and smiled again at the corner of his mouth, Yan Yan Qinghua, and said in a low voice, "She is so kind to me, but now she is back in Beijing. It will be long in Japan."
Liu Kai looked at him, as if he understood, and he didn't seem to understand.
Ye Chang waved to him and walked to the room he lived in earlier. After closing the door, he also didn't hold the light and stopped.
Seeing that there was no movement in the two rooms, Liu Kai stood for a while and went to sleep.
