Chapter 281 Familiarity
South of the city, overpass.
Yu Huan jumped up and down and ran to a stall where clay figurines were being made. He pointed to a little tiger on the ground and asked the stall owner, "Can this tiger be made into different shapes?"
The stall owner didn't know Prince Yu, let alone Princess Yu, but he saw that he was dressed in luxurious clothes and had an extraordinary temperament, and he also knew that wealth or wealth means wealth, so he asked politely: "What do you want to do, Miss?"
Yu Huan took out a piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it and showed it to the stall owner, "This is it, with a head like a little tiger and a handsome body."
The stall owner looked at the little matchstick figure on the paper and thought about it for a long time. Except for the words "skinny and not like a human being", he couldn't think of anything else.
But the businessman only needs to open his mouth and say, "Okay, what color clothes should I give this heroic little tiger?"
Yu Huan immediately said with great interest: "It's jade white, there needs to be a belt around the waist, and there's a little tiger tied around the waist. The little tiger wants to be red, can you do it?"
"Can."
The stall owner responded, grabbed a handful of clay specially used for kneading clay figurines, and started kneading it deftly.
Yu Huan squatted on the ground excitedly, staring at the stall owner's nimble fingers without blinking.
A small clay figurine with a tiger head took about half an hour to come alive. After coloring, the stall owner handed the clay figurine to Yu Huan.
Yu happily jumped up, turned to Yu Yan and Chang Xing behind him and said, "Don't even tell Gu Heng, his birthday is in a few days, give him a surprise."
Yu Yan scratched Yu Huan's forehead, and when Changxing gave him the money, Yu Yan said to the stall owner: "Are you going to sell that mud of yours?"
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, "Young Master, do you want to do it yourself? This is not easy to do. If you want to do it, you can do the same as this lady and bring me the sample picture, and I will do it for you."
Yu Yan shook his head, "I'll just buy some mud."
The stall owner hesitated and said, "This thing is not valuable, I will give you a piece of it."
He turned around and wanted to grab a piece for Yu Yan from the jar next to him. Yu Yan pointed to the jar and said, "Give me this jar."
Changxing immediately took a piece of silver worth ten taels and handed it over.
How could the stall owner charge ten taels of silver for a jar of mud? Just as he was about to refuse, a drunkard walked over beside him and said, "Old Zhang, you haven't closed the stall yet. I got a piece of braised pork today. Let's go back and drink."
The stall owner followed the voice and looked over, seeing that it was his friend, "Old Pumpkin, wait a moment, I have a customer here."
After saying that, he turned to Yu Yan and said, "Master, this doesn't cost so much money, and I can't find it."
Changxing had already bent down and hugged the jar. Yu Yan said with a smile: "No need to look for it. Let's eat braised pork and drink some wine tonight."
The man who was called Old Pumpkin by the stall owner looked towards Yu Yan and chuckled twice, "The more you eat, the more you eat braised pork and wine, the better. Young Master, I think you are in trouble. There has been a happy event recently."
Yu Yan raised his eyebrows.
The clay figurine stall owner immediately said: "Old Pumpkin, you drank too much again!"
After saying that, he quickly said to Yu Yan: "Young Master, ignore him. He likes to talk nonsense after drinking a little wine."
Old Pumpkin reached out and grabbed Yu Yan's arm.
Changxing stepped forward and was about to pull him away. Yu Yan shook his head and looked down at Old Pumpkin, who was half a head shorter than himself.
The scars on his face covered his original appearance, making it impossible to tell what he looked like. When he opened his mouth, he spoke with an authentic Kyoto accent. Yu Yan said, "Sir, do you tell your fortune?"
Old Pumpkin originally grabbed Yu Yan's arm, but after Yu Yan opened his mouth, he let go. San San took a step back and said with a smile: "Charlatans, if you deceive passers-by, I won't be beaten by you."
Yu Yan raised his eyebrows.
Old Pumpkin's face covered with scars had a sinister smile, "Young Master Yu is safe."
He made a bow in a nondescript manner.
The clay figurine stall owner was startled, looked at Yu Yan in horror, and knelt down with a plop, and the stall owners next to him also trembled and knelt down fearfully.
Yu Yan frowned, "Do you know me?"
Old Pumpkin licked his lips and said, "I have met you a few times when I passed by Prince Yu's Mansion before. I have a good memory, so I just remembered it. It's very presumptuous. Don't be as knowledgeable as me, young prince."
When speaking, you should kneel down as a gesture.
It's so good, who likes to be kneeled down at every turn? It's not like he died and was enshrined.
Yu Yan glanced at Old Pumpkin, turned and left.
It took him a long time to leave with Yu Huan, but the clay figurine stall owner still hadn't recovered, "Oh my God, is that really Prince Yu?"
Old Pumpkin didn't know what he was thinking. He stood in front of the stall without saying a word, his eyes only staring at the broken piece of silver that Changxing had just placed on the stall.
"Brother, did you buy this clay to knead it yourself? Give it to Medical Officer Gu?" After returning to the house, Yu Huan happily asked Yu Yan.
Yu Yan ignored her, and Yu Huan stuck out his tongue and hugged his little clay figurine back to the inner courtyard.
Yu Yan took the jar of mud and walked towards the study. Although he did not live here, he had set up a temporary study in the outer courtyard for him to discuss matters.
He really wanted to pinch something and give it to Gu Luo.
Snapped!
Yu Yan was taking out a piece of mud from the jar when Changxing suddenly slapped his forehead with a loud sound. Yu Yan raised his eyes and looked at him, "Are you crazy?"
Changxing stepped forward to Yu Yan's table, "Your Majesty, that old Pumpkin! Chang Ming said before that Medical Officer Gu went to the ruined temple on the outskirts of Beijing to take over someone's leg, that was Old Pumpkin.
At that time, Chang Ming said that the injury on Old Pumpkin's leg seemed to have been injured by a jagged sharp weapon."
Yu Yan paused while squeezing the mud, "Zigzag?"
Changxing nodded, "At that time, Miao Min happened to throw down Medical Officer Gu's pot of flowers, causing chaos later, and Prince Yu's people immediately followed and besieged the little princess. With all the chaos happening, I forgot to talk to you.
explain."
Yu Yan frowned, "Why did she go to the outskirts of Beijing to pick up someone's leg?"
Changxing said: "It's just a little girl, the child you and Medical Officer Gu met at the back door of Bailu Academy before. She begged Medical Officer Gu to come over.
At that time, Old Pumpkin was in a coma, and Medical Officer Gu fixed his leg and left. Later, Chang Ming did not hear anything from Chang Ming saying that Old Pumpkin came to express his gratitude.
Is it possible that this sudden appearance today is not a coincidence?"
Changxing had been following Yu Yan for a long time, and he was accustomed to thinking the worst about everything.
"Old Pumpkin lived in that dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Beijing, where he took in several homeless children. The dilapidated temple was close to the place where the maid died in the second prince's house...the body of the maid, our people at that time
It was the children over there who discovered it, and at that time I just thought those children were wandering beggars near the ruined temple."
Yu Yan's face suddenly darkened, "Let someone keep an eye on it."
Changxing immediately accepted the order and asked again, "Let Changnian go?"
Yu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let others go. He is familiar with the people who have been keeping an eye on King Yu for many years."
It would be impossible to use the leader of the dead soldiers trained by King Yu to deal with the dead soldiers of King Yu.
