"So it must be a rumor-how could he come back! Oh, it's time. I have to go home and cook for my husband.”One of the customers who had just finished the discussion looked at the sun outside and stood up, intending to leave.
"I think I have to go back and pick up the child…"
I watched as the people at the next table scattered. When I looked up, I found that Song'e had already fallen asleep.
It just so happens that I haven't bought anything for the imperial concubine yet. In order not to let Song'e know about this, I'll take advantage of her sleeping time to go take a look on the street.
I went to the streets and looked here and there, but I didn't see anything I was satisfied with. I felt that the things bought on the street were all very girly things, such as mirrors, combs, rouge and cosmetics…Although the imperial concubine was very charming in my heart, I felt that he would not like these.
Fortunately, the things here were all very northern and had very distinctive characteristics. I think we'll definitely find a suitable one if we keep walking forward.
Walking further, I found a very hidden shop at the corner of the street. Although the shop front was not big, it gave people a refreshing and unique feeling. There were two pots of cute flowers on the ground at the door.
There was a bird that wasn't afraid of humans standing next to the pot of one of the small flowers. I saw it communicating with the flower very ungently because it was pecking at the flower stem.
I saw that the flower stem was almost pecked off by it. I suddenly remembered what I had heard about the big accident with Zhang Guifei. My heart suddenly ached. I immediately walked forward to chase away this annoying bird.
I gently stroked the pot of flowers and helped it stand up with its broken stem against the wall.
"You'll be fine." I told it very patiently.
"You are an interesting person." I heard a woman's voice in my ear. I turned around and saw the door flap of the store open. A young woman walked out.
"This flower is pecked by that bird every day, and it will grow back the next day, just like a natural phenomenon…It doesn't even mind, so why are you feeling sorry for it?”
" No…Flowers hurt too. It's so beautiful, I don't want it to hurt…"
She stared at me and then smiled." Come in and talk." What do you want to buy? My shop also has tools and herbs for coroners.”
I followed her footsteps in and found that although the shop's front was small, it could be said to be a different world inside.
The walls, floors, and cabinets of the entire shop were filled with good items. Many of the items were made of high-quality materials. Although some of the items were clearly second-hand, the styles were also very novel and beautiful.
"Things like medical treatment and medicinal herbs are all on the west side of the cabinet. You can look for them yourself.”
My hat was about to fall off, so I took it off and said sheepishly,"I didn't come to buy anything like that..."
She saw that I looked like a girl when I took off my hat. She didn't ask much and politely told me," What do you want to buy? It was fine if he didn't buy it, but it was also fine if he just looked at it.”
"Do you…have anything that can be used as a gift?”
"It depends on who you want to give it to-anything can be a gift.”
" The person I want to give it to…" I leaned against the counter and started to think of him while looking at the ceiling." He should like things related to music and opera." But…it can't be too tacky."
" Well…that's unfortunate. I don't have many instruments here. I even had an exquisite-looking zither, but it was bought by someone this morning…"
" Ah…" I lowered my head, feeling pity.
"However, you can tell me how you feel about giving that person this gift. Actually, the form of the gift is not important. It is more important that you can express your feelings better.”
Hearing her say this, my face turned slightly red and I rubbed my hands behind my back in embarrassment.
She was very experienced and smiled." Looking at you, you're preparing to give it to your sweetheart, right?”
When I heard her ask this, I felt even more embarrassed. I looked around and finally nodded without giving a direct answer.
She took my hand and led me to a cabinet." It's a coincidence. When I saw you outside the door just now, I thought you looked very much like it. It has been in my shop for several years, but no one has taken it away.”
The lady boss pointed to a dusty doll in the corner of the cabinet. The doll's facial features were very similar to mine, and the style of clothes was also very similar to mine. There was also the long and thick black braid that it combed to the side. Who else could it be but me?
It looked at me with a blank look in its eyes. I took it out of the cabinet and looked at it carefully. Then, I gently stroked the ash on its eyes so that its eyes looked even brighter.
"What's its story?"
"Hmm…I don't know the details, but it should be very happy to see you today. If you truly love the person in your heart, then you can give this doll to him and accompany him-as if you were always by his side.”
Actually, what she said was also what I planned to do after seeing it. However, seeing that the doll's fabric was also very good, I began to worry that I didn't have enough money. This was because along the way, all the little things in the Northern Dynasty were expensive.
"Then…how much should I give you? I brought 200 copper coins, is that enough?”
She looked at my worried face and smiled helplessly." I haven't seen someone like you who didn't even lower the price and even gave me all the money you brought…Didn't you help me save the flowers at the door? How about this, I'll give this doll to you.”
"Ah?" Looks like I've met a good person. "But, this isn't good…"
"It's okay. It's all fate. I think the two of you look so alike. Perhaps she's been waiting for you to bring her back and give her to the person you love…"
" It's not to the extent of love…" My face turned even redder. I had picked up such a big bargain and received such a big favor from her. I didn't know what to say.
"When I saw you thinking about him just now, you even had a deeper layer of love than other girls of your age. You must like him very much…But, did you not dare to tell him?”
" Well…I don't want to scare him…I think he's still a little far away from me…" I replied as I adjusted Dolly's clothes. There were some small wrinkles on its clothes, and I helped it smooth them out.
"No, you definitely won't scare him. If you like him so much, you might fall in love with him even more one day…He will understand your sincerity one day.”
"Really?" When I thought of Noble Consort Zhang's face, a little anticipation actually rose in my heart.
"Yes, I think so."
The lady boss gave me the doll. Before I left, I gave her a big hug and whispered "thank you" in her ear.
She hugged me back and said gently,"You're welcome ~"
Then, I went out and saw another customer come in. After I left the house, I turned around and saw that no one was paying attention to me. Then, I quickly put the 200 copper coins in the small cloth bag under the pot.
