With the arrival of spring, everything came back to life. After the spring rain, the weather gradually warmed up. The people of the capital also took off their thick winter clothes and changed into more romantic spring clothes. Ban Han and Rong Xia maintained a distance of half a step as they walked on the street. Looking at the people coming and going, Ban Han felt alive.
"Selling silk flowers, this year's most popular silk flowers in the capital. Five copper coins per flower. Young lady, do you want one?"
Ban Han stopped and looked at the old woman at the corner of the street. Her hair was white and wrapped in a piece of shabby blue cloth. In her hand was a basket that was so old that it was almost black. Half of the basket was filled with crudely made silk flowers. Even the servants of the Duke's Public House would not wear this kind of flower. Naturally, it was not fashionable.
The old woman had originally wanted to persuade Ban Yu to buy one, but when she saw Ban Yu only wearing a silver hairpin and a plain cotton dress, she had a noble aura around her, and the man beside her was dressed in extraordinary clothes, she knew that Ban Yu didn't like the silk flowers she made.
When the young lady came closer, the old woman's cloudy eyes saw clearly that the silver hairpin in the young lady's hair was exquisitely made. It did not look ordinary.
Ban Han saw that the silk flowers in the basket were brightly colored. They were not things that she could wear. She bought two flowers and put them in her hand. She turned and looked at Rong Xia, "Come, lower your head."
Rongxia knew what she was going to do when she saw her movements. She turned around and wanted to run away, but Ban Ti grabbed her sleeve. Under the violent suppression, she was forced to pin two earthy red flowers on the left and right sides of her hair crown.
The servants of the Duke's Public House and the Duke's Public House saw this scene and almost could not help but laugh.
The old woman looked at Ban Han and Rong Xia with a smile. She said kindly, "Master and your wife have a good relationship." When she said this, she noticed that Ban Han's hair was tied in an unmarried woman's bun. She quickly apologized, "This old woman's eyes are dim and said something wrong. I hope Master and Young Lady do not mind."
"It's okay," Rong Xia smiled at Ban Han. The red flower on her hair swayed, "She is my future wife."
The old woman heard this and smiled, "I wish you two a hundred years of happiness and a child soon."
"Thank you," Rong Xia took out a piece of silver and put it in the old woman's hand, "Can you sell all these silk flowers to me?"
"That's too much money … I can't, I can't." The old woman hurriedly waved her hand, "My basket is not worth much.
. "Rong Xia signaled the guard to take the basket of silk flowers from the old woman," Goodbye.. "
"Thank you, thank you." Rong Xia, Rong Xia, Rong Xia, Rong, Rong Xia, Rong, Rong Rong Xia, Rong, to the end, Rong, Rong, of, Rong, Rong.
"Rong Rong, Rong, Rong, Rong, Rong Rong, Rong, Rong, Rong, Rong of the Rong, Rong.....
Rong Ru, Rong Rong, Ru Rong of Ru, Ru, Ru, Ru, Ru, Ru.....
Ban Han did not have much resistance to this kind of beauty. Moreover, the other party was looking at her with such a gentle gaze. She coughed dryly and said, "Let's take it off."
Rong Xia buried her head in front of her. "Thank you, Huahua."
Ban Han reached out to pluck the flowers and placed them in the basket carried by the guard. She then snickered and said, "Young Master Rong, I am of the same generation as you. Why does Young Master Rong need to bow to me?"
Rong Xia did not get angry when he heard this mischievous remark. Instead, he took a step back and bowed deeply to Ban Han. "Miss is my future wife. I am willing to bow to you."
Ban Han immediately blushed. A man who was good-looking and had a good mouth was too much of a foul. She simply couldn't control herself.
A handsome man and woman with a smile on their face, even in the noisy streets, would easily attract the attention of others.
Xie Qilin looked at the man and woman not far away who blushed as they talked and laughed. He unconsciously stopped in his tracks. He never thought that a man like Rong Junpo would allow a woman to touch his hair. For men, their heads were not to be touched casually, especially by women.
He was a fine and elegant young master, but a woman had put a woman's inferior silk flower on his head. In this crowded street, wouldn't he feel that a man's self-esteem had been violated?
When the woman in front of Rong Junpo turned around, Xie Qilin was stunned. Ban Han?
Why would Ban Han and Rong Junpo walk together? He was secretly shocked. Seeing the two of them continue to walk forward with their guards, he followed them as if he was possessed by a supernatural force.
"The Taoist priest is injured?" Ban Han followed behind Rong Xia. She listened to the thrilling story and couldn't help but widen her eyes. "What happened? Did his senior martial brother come to save him? Or did his junior martial sister come to save him? "
"It's his fiancée." Rong Xia noticed that the guard behind her made a subtle gesture to her. She looked back and continued to smile at Ban Han. "When the fiancée arrived, it was snowing heavily on Tianshan. The whole world was white …"
"Wait!" Ban Han looked at Rong Xia in confusion. "Does the Taoist priest also have a fiancée?"
"Of course. There are different schools in Taoism. Some schools allow people to get married." Rong Xia saw a carriage coming in front of them. She stretched out her hand and waved it beside Ban Han. "Be careful."
"It's all right." Ban Han saw that the carriage was tied with a white cloth with the symbol of the Prince Hui Mansion engraved on it. He looked inside the carriage in confusion.
The carriage stopped in front of her. Soon, the curtain was lifted, revealing Princess Kang Ning, who was wearing mourning clothes made of linen.
"Greetings to Princess Fule and Cheng Anbo. Please forgive me for being in mourning and not being able to greet you." Kang Ning nodded to the two of them. She didn't seem to find it strange that the two of them were together. There was a polite smile on her pale face.
Ban Han returned the greeting. "The Princess seems to have lost a lot of weight. Please take care of yourself." Although she didn't like this family very much, she saw that such a delicate beauty had lost her parents overnight. The Emperor and Empress in the harem didn't like her, but she still wanted to live in the palace. She looked very pitiful. Therefore, her tone softened a lot.
"Thank you, Princess Fule." A sincere smile appeared on Kang Ning's thin face.
After she experienced the fickleness of human nature, she realized that the coldness she encountered before wasn't cold at all. Her current life was truly tormenting her. Her friends in the past, the young masters who pursued her, now avoided her as if she were a snake or a scorpion. It was as if she would bring them bad luck if she approached them.
Along the way, she met a few familiar people, but they avoided her as if they didn't know her at all.
Only Ban Han treated her as usual. She even felt a little pity for her.
In the past, she hated it when people pitied her. She didn't even want to look at them. But now, she realized that it was rare for someone to pity her.
She glanced at Rong Xia and nodded slightly to her. Then, she let down the curtain.
This was no longer a person she could covet. Instead of being reluctant to part with him, it was better to pretend that she had never met this person and that she had never fallen in love with him.
Watching the carriage go away, Ban Han suddenly remembered that Kang Ning's carriage was pulled by four horses. Moreover, the four horses looked listless. They looked like old horses that were about to be eliminated. She frowned. "Although the tea cools down after people leave, these people are too much. Such a beautiful woman has become like this in just a few days."
When Rong Xia heard Ban Han's words, he remembered that during the autumn hunt, she seemed to have quarreled with Princess Kang Ning. She didn't seem to hold a grudge?
Ban Han looked at his expression and knew what he was thinking. She explained in a low voice, "As long as I take revenge on the spot, I won't hold a grudge. Generally, I only remember those that I didn't take revenge on. "
Rong Xia was silent. He suddenly felt that … it was quite reasonable.
"Do you have a grudge that you haven't had time to take revenge?" Rong Xia put his hands behind his back. He looked like a gentleman, but the words that came out of his mouth were not at all gentlemanly. "Tell me. I'll help you think of a way."
Benny blinked. "This … isn't it inappropriate for a gentleman like you to do it?"
"I'm not a gentleman." Rong Xia chuckled. "If the price of being a gentleman is that I can't even protect my own people, then what's the point of having a gentleman's reputation?"
"Then I'll really say it." Ban Han looked around to make sure that no one could hear her. She covered her mouth and whispered, "I don't like some people from the Xie Family, the Shi Family, and the Yin Family."
Rong Xia didn't ask why Ban Han didn't like her maternal family. Instead, he said, "The Xie Family doesn't handle things well. The Shi Family is arrogant because of their achievements. The Yin Family only cares about profits. They all have their shortcomings. No wonder you don't like them."
As a good man, when a woman said that she didn't like someone, he should never ask why she didn't like them. He also shouldn't talk about the good points of that family. That would only add fuel to the fire. Smart men had long understood the importance of "joining forces against a common enemy." Even if they didn't have a grudge against the other party, they should still pick out the other party's small flaws and agree with the woman.
In fact, women understood the principles of rules and regulations better than anyone else. However, this didn't mean that she liked men singing the opposite of her.
Rong Xia's attitude pleased Ban Han very much. She whispered, "Actually, they're not particularly hateful. It's just that Xie Wanyu always makes things difficult for me. The Shi Feixian is also full of evil tricks. As for the Yin Family …" She snorted. "I'm too lazy to talk about this family."
Rong Xia listened to Ban Han with a smile. Soon, the two of them arrived at the noodle house. The noodle house wasn't big, but it was very clean inside. The furnishings were also very meticulous. There was a simple but elegant screen between each table so that customers couldn't see the table next to them eating.
"There's no private room here. Can Huahua get used to it?" Rong Xia held Ban Han's arm through her sleeve. "Be careful of the steps. It's a bit wet here."
"Young Master Rong, you're here?" When the waiter saw Rong Xia, he immediately went up to greet him with a smile. When he saw that there was a beautiful young woman beside him, the waiter's smile became even brighter. "Please come this way. You can still eat beef noodle soup."
"No, give me two bowls of vegetable noodle soup today. Give the other guards beef noodle soup." Rong Xia thought for a moment. "Also, give me a few side dishes. Remember, don't use too much oil."
When the waiter saw that the young woman beside Rong Xia was wearing plain clothes, he immediately understood and hurriedly replied, "Please don't worry. You definitely won't use too much oil."
Ban Han and Rong Xia walked to the wooden table behind the screen and sat down. Other than Du Jiu and Ruyi who followed them into this room, everyone else went to another room.
As soon as the two of them sat down, they heard people chatting. They were talking about the marriage between the Xie Family and the Imperial Family.
"Don't you think that the young woman from the Xie Family is a bit strange? Ever since she got engaged to the Second Prince, the Imperial Family has been in trouble. The Princess Royal was assassinated, and Prince Hui and his wife were burned to death in the middle of the night. If this isn't strange, then what is?"
