Bored, Su Yu leaned against the gazebo by the pond, grabbed a handful of fish food on the table, and sprinkled it into the pond.

She had a strange dream last night. When she woke up in the morning, she just felt dizzy. She had forgotten most of the things in the dream, but she remembered that it was Gu Huaijin who made her angry.Although she knew the dream was fake, Su Yu still felt a little uncomfortable.

woo~

A fluffy dog's head moved close to Su Yu's leg, rubbed against her calf, and purred in favor.This black-haired mastiff is Chun'an's pet Pinecone.Song Guo is a three-month-old milk dog, but it is already half the height of a person. It looks fierce, but its temper is exceptionally docile. Su Yu got acquainted with it on the second day of his arrival with a chicken leg.

Su Yu patted its head, and Gouzi immediately put his head in her palm obediently, rubbing it harder.In the past few days Chun'an went to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, and the pinecone was very clingy to her when she didn't see its owner.

She looked up at the sky.The day before yesterday, I made an appointment with Gu Huaijin to have dinner together today, but it's still early, so I decided to take the dog out for a walk first.Ask the maid of the palace to find the dog's leather rope, put it on, pull it, and walk out the door arrogantly.

Out of the alley at the gate of Wangfu, the main street was bustling with people coming and going, and many stalls were set up along the street.

"Why is the street so lively today?" Su Yu asked Qing Ya.

"This should be a Xunxiu market. I just heard sister Dongqing mention it this morning." Qingya said that Dongqing was one of Chun'an's maids.

It turned out to be like this, the holiday market sounds a bit like the market in a modern town.Although the market is lively, Su Yu has worn it for more than two months, and it no longer feels new.She dragged Gouzi to wander slowly, and after a few steps, Gouzi stopped in front of Yibaozipu's booth, sat down on his buttocks, and refused to move.

"Want to eat buns?"

Su Yu rubbed the dog's head. This dog is a rare breed of dog that was tributed from the Western Regions. It is usually looked after by special people. Even the dog food is a specific nutritious meal. The smell of steamed stuffed buns made me so hungry that I couldn't walk.

She was just about to order Qing Ya to buy two buns for Gou Zi, when she saw a scene that she hated out of the corner of her eye.

"I want to buy, I want to eat pastries and candies." A seven or eight-year-old boy cried and pointed to a female vendor with a basket on the side of the road.

"Don't cry, Daddy didn't bring enough silver today, I'll buy it for you next time." Standing beside the boy was a man in his thirties who was reaching out to grab the boy.

The boy avoided his hand, lay down on the ground, and then cried, "I don't want it, I don't want it, I want to eat it today."

The man gave a few words of comfort, but the boy still didn't listen and kept crying.There were more and more people watching, the man lost his patience, raised his hand to the boy and said: "If you don't get up again, I will beat you."

After speaking, he raised his hand high as if to hit the child.

Seeing this, the boy hurriedly got up from the ground and wanted to run. After running a few steps, he bumped into a passer-by and sat down on the ground again, crying: "Wow, I want to eat fruit, I want to eat fruit."

The passer-by was a young woman, dressed in a light blue brocade dress, with fair skin and delicate eyebrows, she looked elegant and demure.After being hit, she only frowned slightly, and did not reprimand her.

Seeing the boy bump into someone, the man hurried forward and pulled the child: "Don't cry, I'll go buy you some fruit right away."

After the boy heard the words, he also stopped crying.The man picked him up and apologized to the woman in brocade clothes: "Miss, I'm sorry, the child is ignorant and disturbed the girl."

The woman in brocade clothes waved her hand and said calmly, "It's nothing."

The man picked up the child, apologized repeatedly, and was about to turn around and go to the roadside stall to buy fruit for the child.

The woman in brocade clothes looked at the backs of the two, touched her waist subconsciously, her expression changed suddenly, she walked quickly to the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "Return my jade pendant."

The man said anxiously: "Jade pendant? What jade pendant, little lady, don't talk nonsense."

The woman in brocade clothes said with a sullen face, "Before I met you two, my jade pendant was still around my waist, but it disappeared after being bumped by this child."

"There are so many people on this road, why do you say we stole it? My son bumped into you just now, but how could such a young child steal something?" The man looked anxious, with a bit of resentment and grievance, "Girl, I think you are dressed like this, and your family should be good, you can't bully us ordinary people."

"You!" The brocade-clothed woman understood what he meant, accusing him of bullying others and trying to deliberately frame him.

There were already a lot of spectators around, and when they heard the man's words, they began to point and point, as if they all believed that the woman in brocade clothes was a rascal.

"How can such a small doll steal money?"

"That's right, the kid who stole the money is a street hooligan. The father and son are dressed in decent clothes, how can they be stealing."

"When I look at a girl, I just want to see her honesty, and I want to blackmail him."

"Hey, this girl looks like a human being in clothes, I really can't tell she's so unscrupulous."

The complexion of the woman in brocade clothes is getting worse and worse, but it is not easy to force it in front of so many people, she said in a deep voice: "In this case, let's go to the government."

"If I said I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it." The man was very unconvinced, "What if I went to the government and didn't find the jade pendant on both of us?"

"If you don't find it, I will pay you 20 taels according to the law of this dynasty."

The woman in brocade clothes was very sure that the jade pendant was around her waist before she met the two of them, and only the boy approached her body, who else could it be if it wasn't him who stole it.It's fine if she loses other jade pendants, she doesn't care about it at all, but that piece is the only relic left to her by her aunt.

"Songuo, do me a favor. I'll buy you five big steamed buns as a reward. What do you think?"

Su Yu knelt down and discussed with Gouzi, and the pinecone whimpered twice to agree.Su Yu cheerfully patted its dog's head, and whispered instructions in its ear.

Having experienced something like that last time, Su Yu hated thieves extremely.She was on the outside, seeing clearly what happened just now, the jade pendant of the woman in brocade was stolen by the father and son.The play just now started when the child was crying.

The child's cries would attract crowds to watch. The man pretended to be anxious to persuade, but secretly observed the surrounding crowd. When he found the target, he signaled the child to get up and run away. The child stole the jade pendant while bumping into people.

It's just that, as the man said, the jade pendant is not on the two of them now.If the woman in brocade clothes pulls them to report to the officials, the father and son will get another reward.From beginning to end, one link after another, the design is precise.

If Su Yu was in this game, she might also think that the jade pendant was on the two of them, but today she stood watching from a distance and saw some secret things.But she learned how to behave now, and she didn't dare to go forward to help directly, and she was held hostage.

She looked at the side of the road, patted the dog's head, and said, "Go."

The dog got the order and ran quickly. Su Yu pulled the dog's leash, pretending to be unable to hold it: "Oh, let me go, let me go."

"Pine cones, pine cones."

Hearing her words, Gouzi ran even more vigorously, ran straight to the side of the road, and knocked over the female fruit vendor in one fell swoop.Seeing the vicious black-faced dog, the female trader was frightened, and the basket in her hand fell to the ground.

"Pine cone, stop, you've hit someone."

Su Yu pulled the rope hard, she made too much noise, and everyone looked at her in unison.Su Yu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how much is your fruit, I will compensate you for the damage."

The fruit in the basket was scattered all over the ground, Su Yu sincerely apologized, and made a gesture to pick up the basket on the ground.

"no, I'm fine."

The female trader was about to reach for the basket, but Su Yu took a step forward, and the female trader suddenly panicked.

"No, no, no, I'm an ignorant dog. There's no reason why I won't pay if I break something. Let me see how many fruits you have here, and I'll buy them all." Su Yu was about to count the fruits in the basket as he spoke. fruit.

"Oh, girl, no need, no need, everything in this basket is still good." The female vendor looked anxious, reached out and grabbed the basket, and pulled it to her side, "Young lady, if you want to pay, just pay for the few on the ground."

Su Yu didn't let go, and with an apologetic face, he said, "It's okay, I'll buy the rest of yours."

The two chatted for a while, and the brocade-clothed woman and the man stopped arguing and turned their heads to look at them.Seeing this, Su Yu pointed at the brocade-clothed woman at an angle where the female vendor and the man couldn't see it, pointing at the basket, and kept saying, "Sister, how much do you want, and I'll pay you back."

Seeing her gesture, the woman in brocade clothes also understood, her expression froze, and she walked straight towards the tugging two.

When he came to the two of them, he took the basket without saying a word, and rummaged through it.

"Hey, hey, girl, I bought all of these fruits." Su Yu said in a fake manner.

Not long after, the woman in brocade clothes took out a jade pendant from the basket, and the onlookers were also surprised when they saw the jade pendant.

The moment she saw the jade pendant, her expression relaxed, she reached out and grabbed the female vendor, and said coldly, "You are with them."

"You are all thieves. After the child stole this jade pendant, he gave it to you while buying fruit."

Seeing the woman in brocade clothes grabbing the female trader, the man wanted to run away with the child in his arms, but was blocked tightly by the onlookers.

After the three thieves were tied up, a pair of patrolling guards arrived and took them away.

Seeing the three people being taken away, Su Yu took Gouzi back to the steamed stuffed bun stall and bought him two big meat buns.

Gouzi wagged his tail and swallowed the bun in two bites.After eating the buns, Gouzi didn't want to leave. Su Yu crouched beside it helplessly and said, "I've made an agreement with you. I can't play tricks. I'll buy it for you next time I come out. If I get caught..." She babbled Persuading the dog, I heard someone calling her.

"This girl." Qingling's voice sounded from behind.

Su Yu turned her head and saw the woman in brocade just now.She was squatting on the ground, and the woman in brocade was standing with her back to the light. The sunlight hit this person, creating a layer of golden halo.

The woman's face was serene, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and she was looking at her with a smile.
