Xiao Fuyuan held candied haws in one hand and hibiscus cake in the other.
Talking to A Zhen while eating.
From the flowers in the yard to the wild geese and ducks in the reeds, from the velvet flowers that Mrs. Bai tied for her to the new shoes that Zhen made for her...
He whispered carefully, and his words were eloquent.
A Zhen sat aside and listened very carefully.
Xiao Fuyuan's fluffy temples were blown up by the wind, and clusters swelled next to her temples. A Zhen wanted to reach out and apply it on her temples.
"...Little brother, where did you come from?" Xiao Fu's big round eyes flashed, and when he smiled, his sweet pear dimples swayed.
"The capital." A Zhen said.
"Is it far from here?"
"Far."
"Where are your parents?"
"They are in the capital."
"How many children do you have?"
"Two." A Zhen paused, and finally stretched out his hand to stroke her temples, and whispered, "There is also a younger sister who is as old as you."
"Am I cute?"
"As cute as you."
Ah Zhen's eyes turned red. He naturally had more than two children in his family, but only his sister was his blood relative.
My sister has never been out of the palace, has never seen the countryside, and will never sit under the tree at the entrance of the village and eat candied haws.
"Ah, little brother, you are crying. You miss your parents and your sister." Xiao Fuyuan finished the last bite of hibiscus cake in her hand, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and gently covered A Zhen's eyes with her hands.
Ah Zhen blinked back tears, his eyelashes beating in Xiao Fuyuan's hands like a bunny.
The Bai family's side room.
Xie Xiaolian and Wu Xiaoying were talking.
Xie Xiaolian asked: "Where is the money?".
Wu Xiaoying was puzzled: "What money?"
Xie Xiaolian said: "Why, Uncle He didn't ask you to give me money."
Wu Xiaoying said: "Uncle He doesn't even know we are here."
Xie Xiaolian was speechless: "Just wait until you go back and get beaten."
Wu Xiaoying said: "You are not looking for auspiciousness in the mountains, why are you staying at someone else's house and not leaving?"
Xie Xiaolian said: "Not only did he not leave, he also bought a house across the street and looked for it slowly. It's true that Uncle He didn't give me any money after receiving my letter. They only wanted to extend it for one day. By the way, Si Tianjian's gang The magic stick is coaxing the superiors. Your father, a censor, is always writing letters and scolding people to confuse the public. Why didn't you tear him up this time? Let me suffer for nothing."
Wu Xiaoying said: "My father is not stupid... The capital is in chaos. The little princess dies, the empress loses power, the imperial concubine takes charge of the harem, and the prince is put on hold to discuss... Then Si Tianjian calculated that the Nanguan Mountain in Huaicheng is auspicious. The second emperor...the young master was sent out of the capital."
Xie Xiaolian thought for a moment and said, "Then I will search here slowly and I won't be in a hurry to go back."
Wu Xiaoying sneered and said: "It's fate. The third brother of the Bai family saved the young master and Uncle He a few years ago. You live in the Bai family. It's rare that our young master is close to their little girl..."
Halfway through Wu Xiaoying's words, he suddenly saw a lotus flower vaguely exposed from Xie Xiaolian's open shirt.
"Ouch, what is this, a love token? Which girl can really recruit her?" Wu Xiaoying took away the handkerchief Xie Xiaolian had hidden on her chest at lightning speed.
"What a nonsense. This veil was made by a kind-hearted girl who helped me stop the bleeding when I broke my leg in the mountains. Hey, that look in your eyes, we are already married." Xie Xiaolian took it from her. He stuffed the veil into his arms again, "I'm not keeping this veil, I just want to give it back to others if I meet it one day."
Just pretend, your face is red.
Wu Xiaoying said: "Xie Xiaolian, don't blindly hook up with women from good families. Not to mention it will affect the reputation of our shadow guard..."
Wu Xiaoying was scolding Xie Xiaolian with a straight face when he heard a young man's voice shouting under the window eaves.
"Uncle Xie, my father asked you if the money has come. He said that if you don't pay today, you will collect interest tomorrow." Wu Chaojing, the son of Wu Langzhong, ran to Xie Xiaolian's window and shouted confidently inside.
Xie Xiaolian drank out of the window: "What are you yelling about, little bastard? I can spare you some of your medicine money."
Wu Chaojing followed what his father taught him: "My father said that he saw two people wearing expensive clothes coming to see you today. They must be your master's family. If you don't have money, I won't care what they want. I'll take off their clothes to pay off the debt." OK."
Wu Xiaoying: "..."
What does this have to do with him, coming to Shenshu Village and putting on some clothes?
"Xie Xiaolian, why do you owe them money?"
Xie Xiaolian stretched and pointed at his left leg: "Isn't it because of this leg that protects the Lord?"
"Uncle Xie, will you give me some money today? If not, I will sit at the door and not leave."
Xie Xiaolian put his head in and said, "Wu Chaojing, your father guessed it right. They are indeed my master's family. Just ask them for money. It's up to you to take off your clothes or ask for money."
When Wu Chaojing heard what Xie Xiaolian said, he didn't dare to enter the room and confront the two adults. Sitting at the door was a boy about the same age as him. He looked white and weak. His clothes were better than those worn by Zhao Xiaogui, and he had jade on his waist.
The target is him.
Wu Chaojing thought I couldn't make this trip in vain.
"Your Xie Xiaolian owes me money for medicine. I'll take care of your request for money." Wu Chaojing ran to the door of the yard and said to A Zhen.
A Zhen looked up at Wu Chaojing, pretended not to hear, and sat under the tree without moving.
"Hey, do you hear me?"
"Chaojing, little brother is my guest, he doesn't owe you any money." Xiao Fuyuan stood in front of A Zhen angrily with his hands on his hips.
Humph, Wu Chaojing had to call her "aunt" when he saw her! To be so rude in front of elders.
"What Xie Xiaolian owes is what he owes." Wu Chaojing said plausibly, "My father said that if you don't have money, you can either use your clothes to pay off your debt, or the jade in your waist will do."
Wu Chaojing crossed Xiao Fuyuan and touched the jade on A Zhen's waist.
A Zhenteng stood up, raised his leg and kicked Wu Chaojing to the ground.
Wu Chaojing fell onto his butt and squatted down. He felt that his butt was broken into eight pieces, and the pain was excruciating. Wu Chaojing was also seven or eight years old and had a childlike nature. He was knocked unconscious at first by the kick, and then woken up by the pain. When he woke up, he was ashamed and angry. He held the gravel on the ground with his hands and cried.
A Zhen raised his feet and wanted to move forward. Xiao Fuyuan stepped in front of A Zhen and said, "Brother, are you okay? Stop kicking. Chao Jing is crying in pain."
A Zhen put his feet down.
Wu Chaojing grinned and cried.
It's so sad. I came to collect my debt but didn't get it, and I got kicked.
The key is that he was kicked by a white-faced guy who looked as weak as a chicken.
Wu Langzhong often comes to see Erlang, and Wu Chaojing is not a naughty child. He usually calls Xiao Fuyuan "gu" when he sees him.
Seeing him crying so sadly, Xiao Fuyuan felt obliged to use her aunt's money to appease him.
"Chaojing, get up, don't cry." Xiao Fuyuan wanted to pull Wu Chaojing up, but she was weak and couldn't pull him up. She turned to ask A Zhen for help, and A Zhen snorted and turned his head.
Wu Chaojing cried louder.
If Wu Langzhong was recruited, he would definitely stand at the door of the courtyard and spray Xie Xiaolian.
"Yes." Xiao Fuyuan's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the candied haws on the grass in the yard and said to A Zhen, "Little brother, candied haws."
Ah Zhen thought she wanted to eat, so he went into the yard, pulled out two sticks, turned them back, and handed them to Xiao Fuyuan.
Xiao Fuyuan handed a candied haws to Wu Chaojing, who was sitting on the ground crying: "My little brother gave it to you."
Wu Chaojing sobbed and wanted to reach out to pick it up. When he saw A Zhen standing aside with a straight face, he didn't dare to pick it up and continued to cry.
"I'll give you both." Xiao Fuyuan handed the two candied haws to Wu Chaojing's mouth.
Wu Chaojing looked at the candied haws on a stick and then at Ah Zhen. In the end, he couldn't bear the greed in his stomach. He wiped his tears and took a bite of the candied haws on a stick, without forgetting to say: "Thank you, aunt."
Wu Xiaoying leaned against the window and looked out to ask Xie Xiaolian: "Is the young master okay?"
Xie Xiaolian said: "What can happen? The adults and children in this village are all very honest. If the guy who asked for money touched his waist, he didn't suffer a loss and even pushed the person down."
