Chapter 189: The Eldest Princess (1)
"Drive! Drive!"
The horse galloped on the street, and the passers-by on the side of the road gave way one after another, thinking to themselves, this is another nobleman who is in a bad mood and ran out to gallop the horse.
But these people have money, even if they are fined a hundred taels of silver for riding a horse in a busy city, they are willing to do so. Ordinary people don't understand the world of the rich.
Shi Jin rode out of the city and searched around, but he didn't see his sister. He looked back to find the guard guarding the city gate, "Has the female prisoner assigned to Xizhou left the city today?"
The person who was being questioned was a newly appointed guard. Seeing that the person who was interrogating him was dressed in brocade clothes and was imposing, he didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly said, "Two hours ago, he left the city."
"Two hours ago?" Shi Jin grabbed the guard's lapel, "Didn't you say that the prisoner was escorted out of the city at noon?"
"Young Master, Young Master, I have not heard this statement," the guard said cautiously when he saw the Young Master's description of madness, not daring to make him more angry, "I received a document from Shangfeng, saying that there are a batch of Female prisoners were dispatched to Western states."
"Chenshi..." Shi Jin let go of the guard in a daze, feeling like the world was spinning for a while.
"Young Master!" Shi's guards chased after him, "Master Xiang said, please go back immediately."
"Go away!" Shi Jin kicked away the guards closest to him, and after staring at them coldly for a long time, he seemed to lose his mind, "Go back by yourself, I'll walk around."
"My lord..." The kicked guard got up from the ground and said eagerly, "Master Xiang said, don't be impulsive, your words and deeds will affect the whole family."
In addition to Shi Chonghai's lineage, the Shi clan has many other branches that live under the Shi family's wings. If Shi Chonghai falls, everyone under the Shi family's wings will suffer.
Shi Jin trembled all over, he smiled bitterly, led the horse and walked into the city without even looking at the guards.
Since he was born, he has been told by his parents to put his family first. The eldest sister married the prince, and the second younger sister was raised by her parents. Even he had to strictly follow his father's wishes, otherwise he would be unfilial and make fun of the prosperity of the entire Shi family.
It's exhausting to carry such a family on your back.
He walked into the bustling crowd and looked at the pedestrians passing by, feeling as if he couldn't breathe.
There was a little girl on the side of the road holding her father's hand, and she pretended to let her father hug her. Her father bowed his head and said something, and then hugged the little girl in his arms. The little girl happily hugged her father's neck, the cheeks The dimples are so cute.
That's... it's family.
Shi Jin stood where he was, and he didn't look away until the father and daughter walked away. Turning around and seeing an old lady selling silk flowers, he suddenly felt a little pity, took out a handful of silver and bought the whole basket of flowers from the other party.
"Young master, why are you alone today?" The old lady handed him the basket and flowers with a gentle smile, "Is your fiancée not with you?"
Shi Jin was stunned when he heard this, did the old lady admit the wrong person?
Seeing that the old man's hair was gray and the skin on his face was like old bark, he couldn't explain it to her, so he smiled and took the basket and held it in his hand.
"Old lady, I have been selling flowers here for a long time, and I have never seen anyone more handsome than the young master." The old lady carefully put the money into her purse, "If you come to buy next time, the old lady will give you free. These flowers It's not worth so much money. You gave too much money last time, so I went back and bought a small piece of land, and now the family has hope."
"Old lady, you admit your mistake..."
"Just as I was talking, people came," the old lady smiled even more gently, "Your fiancée is a good girl, with a noble face, and you will have good luck together."
Shi Jin followed the old lady's line of sight and looked over.
Banhua was riding on horseback, wearing a plain dress with plain white cloud patterns embroidered on it, and her hair was tied into a lily bun, beautiful and delicate.
Shi Jin stared at Ban Hua blankly, his heart filled with traces of bitterness.
When Banhua looked this way, he looked away in embarrassment, just as the guards of the Shi family caught up, he handed the flower basket to a guard, turned his head and climbed on the horse's back. Some people want to see it, but are afraid of seeing it, so it is better not to see it.
However, things backfired, and just as he was about to leave, Ban Hua had already arrived in front of him.
"Hello, girl," the old woman who sells flowers digs in her bosom, and takes out a red string, "I asked for this from Yuelao Monastery. If you don't mind, girl, please accept it."
The old man's hands are very rough, with a thick layer of old skin on the palm, but this red rope is very bright. Banhua didn't know how long the red rope had been on the old lady. She jumped off the horse, took the red rope, and thanked the old lady solemnly.
"You are too polite. I wish you and your kind son get married as soon as possible and grow old together." Seeing that the beautiful little girl did not dislike the gift from me, the old lady showed a bright smile on her face and left contentedly.
The moment he saw Ban Hua, Shi Jin knew that the old lady just now recognized him as Rong Junpo, but she mistook him, but not Ban Hua. It can be seen that in her heart, the most impressive thing is the eyes This woman who puts a cheap and cheap red string in her arms.
"Just now... she admitted the wrong person." Shi Jin saluted Ban Hua, "I'm sorry."
"It has nothing to do with you," Ban Hua climbed on the horseback, his tone a little light, "What is Master Shi going out with so many guards for?"
Shi Jin's lips moved, thinking of his sister who was on the road to Xizhou alone, and looking back at the burden on the horse's back, his heart felt even more bitter.
Ban Hua also saw the burden, and raised his brows slightly: "Chenshi left the city, you rush over now, what can you find?"
"Princess Fuller, please don't get me wrong, our young master didn't go to Miss Second." Seeing that Shi Jin didn't speak, the guards behind Shi Jin hurriedly opened their mouths to explain, fearing that this matter would cause trouble.
"What are you, the master is talking, you have the right to interrupt?" Ban Hua glanced beautifully, and immediately stared at the guard so that he dared not speak, "It's just to send something, even if the death row prisoner is beheaded. , I can still eat a few mouthfuls of food from my family. It's ridiculous that the dignified Xiangfu is so careful."
Seeing the sarcasm in Ban Hua's eyes, Shi Jin unconsciously said, "I thought it was noon..."
