After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince

On the way to the capital, Shen Chu suddenly heard this sentence:

Her expression was a little confused, and she turned her head to look at the person behind her.

But he met a pair of eyes filled with doubt.

These were Xu San's eyes, and if she hadn't seen it wrong, the other person's eyes had just moved away from the old man selling candied haws.

So it is reasonable to speculate that he was asking himself whether he wanted to eat candied haws.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Shen Chu still answered his question.

"No, I'm just looking around."

In fact, she was not just looking casually, but she felt that the old man looked familiar.

Just as Shen Chu was thinking this, the old man standing there suddenly shifted his gaze to her. His cloudy eyes rolled around in his sockets, as if he was thinking about something. Soon, a look of surprise appeared on the old man's face. He then walked over to Shen Chu, his voice full of joy. "Xiaochu, is it really you? Xiaochu?"

He had already felt somewhat familiar with it, and after hearing this voice, Shen Chu was completely certain.

It wasn't his illusion, he really knew this old man.

She had just come into this world at that time.

Still very uncomfortable.

She didn't care about the mission at all.

All I wanted was to leave.

However, no matter what she tried, she couldn't leave.

The only responses I received when asking the system were irrelevant.

Or a repetitive, robotic female voice.

It was during this period that she met the old man.

It should have been her seventh day in this world, and she spent seven days accepting the fact that she had traveled through time.

Then on the seventh day, he left the Shangshu Mansion and strolled around the capital.

Because she sneaked out at that time, no one was with her, so there was no one to protect her safety.

However, Shen Chu did not have a strong sense of identity with this world at that time, nor did she think that she would encounter any chaos in the capital. Perhaps because she was lucky enough, she did not encounter any street thugs in the capital during this process.

But she met another person.

It’s this old man.

It was spring, but the thick snow had not melted yet and the weather was still very cold. She was wearing a fine mink coat and wrapped herself up tightly so that she didn't feel the cold at all.

It was also at this time that she saw an old man standing on the snow selling candied haws. The wind was howling that day, the old man was hunched over, and his clothes were very thin. He stood there rubbing his shoulders with his hands, trying to keep warm by friction, but the effect was almost zero.

He was still very cold, with circles of hot air coming out of his mouth. He kept looking up at the few strings of candied haws he had left.

It seems like he is wondering when these candied haws will be sold out.

Once all the candied haws are sold, he can go home.

Shen Chu stood a few meters away from the old man, and did not move his heavy steps for a long time.

She watched the scene quietly, with a touch of emotion in her eyes.

The passers-by were in a hurry, and no one kept their eyes on the strings of candied haws with snowflakes falling on them. Only Shen Chu was watching the scene intently.

Shen Chu was not in a good mood at that time.

Because she was too unfamiliar with this world and just wanted to go back.

That's why she was walking aimlessly on the streets of the capital, but when she saw this scene, her already bad mood became even worse.

She hesitated for a long time, wondering whether she should lend a hand or not.

But she still couldn't think of an answer that satisfied her.

Until she saw a warmly dressed little girl walk up to the old man and hand him a pair of gloves that were not thick but could keep out the cold a little.

She thought that after handing over the gloves, the little girl would leave.

But it didn't.

The little girl, who was only seven or eight years old, did not leave. Instead, she stood side by side with the old man and began to shout in a low voice, "Tanghulu, selling Tanghulu, sweet and delicious Tanghulu..."

At that moment, Shen Chu finally moved.

She walked towards the two people and asked stiffly, "How much is one string?"

Before the old man could give an answer, the little girl spoke first, "Ten cents!"

The voice was so excited.

Shen Chu nodded when he heard this and began to feel around on his body.

But she fumbled for a long time and didn't find any money.

It was also at that moment that she suddenly remembered that she left in a hurry and did not bring any money with her.

She originally thought that she would be treated coldly by the old man, but she didn't expect that when she lowered her head to look for change, a string of bright red candied haws was suddenly handed to her. There were a few snowflakes on it, and they had begun to melt slowly.

Shen Chu was stunned.

She slowly raised her head mechanically, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

What does it mean?

In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but she was not sure.

Maybe it proves that the old man thought she didn't bring any money... so he treated her to a meal.

This speculation is a bit ridiculous and a bit overly narcissistic, but it is true.

Because immediately afterwards the old man said, "Little girl, take it and eat it."

It was exactly what she had in mind.

The old man was indeed planning to give her this string of candied haws.

Shen Chu was silent for a long time at that moment.

She didn't know how she took it, and she also forgot her emotions at that time. She only knew that at that moment, she recalled the plot of the TV series she had watched.

When rich ladies do not have enough change to buy things, they usually choose to use the hairpins on their heads as gold and silver.

Shen Chu almost immediately pulled out a hairpin from her head.

Then he handed the hairpin to the old man.

"I forgot to bring any money... I went out with some silver. Can I use this hairpin as payment?"

Candied haws are not valuable, but this hairpin is made entirely of silver. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the value of this hairpin far exceeds that of those candied haws.

The old man could see this, so he quickly refused, "No, no, this hairpin is too expensive. Take this string of candied haws, little girl."

It would be a waste if they couldn’t be sold out anyway, so I just considered it a favor.

This is what the old man thought in his heart.

Seeing him like this, Shen Chu changed his tone, "Then give me all the remaining hairpins, and I'll trade them with you for this hairpin."

In fact, when the old man heard her words, he still wanted to refuse, but when he saw his granddaughter's red face from the cold, he couldn't bear to do it.

"If I see you next time, I'll return the extra money to you."
