Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 270 A Date of Equal Power

The store is not far away, just across a small arch bridge.

There are only two arch bridges connecting the other bank and this bank. In addition, there are a lot of people traveling at night, so the arch bridges are full of people.

Although Luo Yu was not short, she had a slender figure. When she was squeezed by a few people, it took her a long time to get to Zhu Jinyou.

Zhu Jinyou is a prince, so how could he consider the conditions and moods of the people following him? If they can't keep up, they will be whipped.

Sure enough, just as Luo Yu stepped onto the bridge, he was pushed off the bridge by several aunties who were squeezing over from the opposite side.

When those ladies saw Zhu Jinyou standing on the bridge and looking back, their eyes almost flashed like lasers.

No matter how strong Luo Yu was, she couldn't withstand the combined force of several women attacking her.

Damn it, I shouldn’t have been greedy for this food.

Luo Yu was helpless. He waited for the old lady to get off the bridge and then walked up again. As a result, the girls in front were stunned when they saw the handsome Mr. Zhu.

Luo Yu was about to yell, "Are you leaving or not?" when one of her hands was tightly covered by another big hand, which pulled her in front of him.

Luo Yu looked up and saw Zhu Jinyou leaning over and looking at her, with an unknown smile on his lips.

"Follow me closely, don't let me find you."

Luo Yu frowned, she actually regretted following this self-righteous prince out.

"Don't worry, just don't go to crowded places."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to withdraw her hand, but the man didn't wait for her to finish his hand movement and continued to pull her towards the crowded place.

For the first time, Luo Yu felt that his face was about to be squeezed out of shape. It would be better not to hold her hand.

"There are a lot of people on this road, so it's not easy for you to get separated if I hold your hand."

"Thank you so much."

Luo Yu finally got close to him and tried to take back his tightly held hand.

His palms were indeed big and powerful, and there was no way to break free.

"I'm holding your hand, and you don't like it?"

Did he really think he was so popular that any woman would want to be led around by him like a dog? It just so happened that she didn't have a dagger with her today. If it were any other man, she would have cut him down with a single blow.

Luo Yu could only force a smile and said gently, "Your Highness, this isn't holding hands. Are you holding hands like you're holding a child?"

"Oh, so how do you hold hands?"

Luo Yu raised his hand, which was clenched into a fist, with the smile on his face remaining unchanged.

"Your Highness, please let go first. Yes, then slowly open your palm."

Luo Yu also opened his left palm at the same time. The moment Zhu Jinyou opened his palm, he put his palm over to gesture, then turned his hand over and interlocked his fingers with his palm.

Little guy, I'll catch you!

Zhu Jinyou snorted, childish.

"In that case, if you want me to lead you by the hand, just say it nicely. There's no need to play tricks on me."

Luo Yu: I want you to give up when you realize the difficulty, do you understand?

There's nothing I can do. This guy insisted on holding her hand. Maybe there were too many people around, and he was too lazy to look for her everywhere.

Luo Yu convinced himself that he didn't care about anything else and followed him as he walked and looked at the various things sold at the street stalls.

The jewelry in Qianzhou is different from those in the capital and Jiangzhou, or in other words, it has more national characteristics. Luo Yu took a look and felt that if the north and south markets could be circulated, wouldn’t the products made by ordinary people have a bigger market?

As she thought this, she bumped into Zhu Jinyou's chest.

Luo Yu touched his relatively straight nose and thought that it would definitely collapse if it hit the nose a few more times.

"Why did you stop so suddenly?"

"Do you really think I'm your guide dog? Why aren't you looking at the road when you walk?"

Luo Yu chuckled.

"Then we're even, let's go!"

Zhu Jinyou was too lazy to argue with her. He walked to the stall, picked up the Miao silver hairpin she was staring at, and asked the peddler.

"how much is this?"

"Sir, your wife has a good eye. This hairpin is the best we have here. It costs five taels of silver."

Zhu Jinyou frowned. He had the nerve to say that five taels of silver was the best. However, this woman only liked the goods sold at the street stalls, so it would be okay to give her one.

But when he felt around, he found he didn't have a single penny.

He stared at Luo Yu: "Do you have any money?"

Luo Yu thought to himself, you don’t want to buy it for me and let me pay for it myself!

She wanted to say that he didn't bring it, but the guy took out a jade pendant he carried with him and handed it to the peddler. Just as she was about to speak, Luo Yu snatched it away.

"I remembered I had a few ounces of silver with me. This jade pendant of yours is quite nice. Give it to me."

After saying that, he took out three taels of silver and handed it to the peddler, "Brother, I think it's only worth three taels of silver, don't talk nonsense, I see there are some for sale up there, why don't I go over there and buy some."

"Okay, three taels is three taels. Madam is really good at talking and knows how to manage life."

After saying that, he handed the Miao silver hairpin to Zhu Jinyou.

Luo Yu: You are quite good at judging people, aren’t you?

Zhu Jinyou took the Miao silver hairpin and looked left and right. How could he bargain?

Luo Yu touched the ring-shaped white jade dragon pendant. Wow, it's worth at least three or four thousand taels of silver, right? This rich man really has no concept of money. Besides, if he wanted to give her a gift, why bother giving her something cheap? Just giving her this jade pendant would be just as thoughtful!

She put the jade pendant away, but Zhu Jinyou snorted: "I'm giving you this hairpin, you return the jade pendant to me."

"..."

Damn, is he trying to trick her into paying him money?

Luo Yu finally understood that he would feel uncomfortable as long as he didn't trick others.

How could Luo Yu give up so easily?

"I don't want the hairpin anymore. I just want this jade pendant!"

"If you really want it, that's fine, but there's only one of this jade pendant. The Queen Mother asked me to give it to the princess I'm going to marry in the future."

"It's okay. I'll give it back to you when you marry the princess."

"It seems that Miss Luo Yu has great ambitions!"

He held her hand and continued walking, not caring whether she asked for the jade pendant.

Only then did Luo Yu realize that something was wrong.

She muttered, "Why did I let him lead me without resistance? Why didn't I feel ashamed after taking his token of love? Why do I feel so justified in everything?"

Could it be that she was really struck by the poison arrow of love?

Or was it because she shouldn't have watched a vague fireworks display? So, she had this vague fantasy?

Why would she have such improper thoughts about this kind of man?

She couldn't go any further. She was very hesitant. What was going on in her mind?

Seeing that she didn't leave, Zhu Jinyou pulled her forward with force. The warmth from his palm gradually transferred to Luo Yu's palm, warming her entire cold body.

"Why don't you leave?"

Zhu Jinyou turned his head and found that she raised her eyes. Her eyes were extremely deep at this moment, like the depths of an unfathomable sea.

"Your Highness, I may not be worthy of your love."

Zhu Jinyou was puzzled. What did she mean by suddenly saying this? Did she think that just because he was holding her hand, he was planning to marry her?

Luo Yu opened his palm, and the jade pendant appeared before him.

"I'll give this back to you."

Zhu Jinyou took the jade pendant and put it back into his arms.

"Miss Luo Yu, I'm just in a good mood and want to take you out for a walk. Please don't misunderstand me."

Luo Yu laughed dryly: "Then why did you lead me away? Why did you buy me a hairpin?"

"So that's why you think I might like you?"

"Yes, I'm afraid I've misunderstood because I can't like you."

"It seems you are very self-aware!" Zhu Jinyou's mouth curled up unconsciously, "I just want to confirm why I dreamed about you? Did I have any improper thoughts about you?"

"When did this happen?"

Luo Yu thought that he would unconsciously observe her neck. Could it be that he dreamed about something she had done?

Zhu Jinyou said calmly, "Although I dreamt of you jumping off a cliff with Baihu during his death, I don't remember many things clearly.

But recently, I suddenly dreamed the dream I had that day again, and it felt very real."

Luo Yu: Holy crap, he dreamed about something that happened in my previous life. This can't be a parallel universe, right? Is this a bug in my rebirth ability?

"What else did you dream about?"

Zhu Jinyou suddenly remained silent.

Luo Yu seemed to have guessed something. So, he wanted to ask her out to prove that he didn't have any improper thoughts?

Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not fooled by him.

"Miss Bai is feeling a lot more relaxed."

Luo Yu broke free from his interlocked fingers and forced a smile.

"That's right. Fortunately, Master Zhu only had a dream. Dreams are the opposite of reality. Don't take it seriously. I don't want to die young."

"What a phrase! Die young! I hope Miss Luo Yu lives a long life. I want to see how you live out your life."

"Mr. Zhu is the best at acting. I almost thought you had some improper thoughts about me."

"It would be best if the girl could take back her heart."

"..."

go to hell!
