Chapter 34: Defection

No matter how reluctant Li Ruolan was, Hua Lianyue still took Dashuang and Xiaoshuang firmly left Hufu. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info just before leaving, she didn't say anything to Li Ruolan, but left her the mutilated little milk cat. There are some things to do, lonely and boring days can always be better to pass the time, and sometimes it is better to be confused and happy than to be sober and miserable.

Seeing that the ebony gate of the Li Mansion was slammed shut in front of them, the big pair carrying two big burdens on his back asked with some worry, "Miss, where are we going now?"

Xiaoshuang said indifferently: "We have silver on hand, so naturally we can get it anywhere!"

Hua Lianyue announced dejectedly: "The silver is gone!" In fact, she didn't lose it, but her heart was in a panic, and she subconsciously didn't want the silver. I always felt that if I held the silver in my hands, I would become one of the accomplices.

"What ......" this time it was the turn of the big double, and the little pair exclaimed in unison.

"Don't worry!" Xiao Shuang was busy digging into his baggage for a while, and took out a purse. She smiled and said, "Last time I had a full-lake banquet in Wufu Building, Boss Xiao confiscated our silver, and I kept it here! ”

Hua Lianyue took it in her hand and checked it, and the silver she won at the Jucai Gambling House. Although most of them were scattered along the road, there were thirty or forty taels left, and some of them could be used for a long time if they were saved.

Hua Lianyue was holding the money bag in her hand, but her eyes were gurgling. In an instant, she stuffed the money bag into her little hands, raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly: "You put this away, I have a good place to go." ”

"Selling rock sugar gourds ......"

"Selling tofu brains, fragrant and sweet tofu brains......."

When the three of them walked back to the market, they all felt like they were separated from each other. Although you don't have to worry about food and clothing in the Li Mansion, you have to speak softly, you have to chew slowly when you eat, and even when you walk with a bigger step, there will be maids and women who show disdain.

The three of them are already cheerful, and it is rare to have suppressed them for so long. When I finally walked out of the Li Mansion today, I was as happy as I got out of prison, and I naturally wanted to eat, drink, and have a good time.

"Miss, Miss, I want to drink tofu brains!" Xiaoshuang first exclaimed happily.

Hua Lianyue smiled and said, "Go, go, I want it too, a bowl of sweet, a bowl of salty." Remember the salty bowl and let the boss sprinkle more crispy shrimp. I'm going to listen to my husband here!"

Mr. Storyteller was a thin, middle-aged man with a short beard under his chin, a shabby dark blue coat, and two inconspicuous puddings on his shoulders.

I saw him sitting on a tea stall, with half a bowl of muddy tea in front of him, and he was foaming at the mouth of what he was talking about. Around him gathered a crowd of people, mostly half-grown men in ragged clothes. There were also resting freight guys and idle idlers, and their eyes were full of curiosity when they looked at the storyteller.

There were also three or four elderly people, who were slowly filling the dry tobacco bags in their hands, and listening to the storyteller's nonsense with great interest.

What he is talking about today is the story of the first flower thief in Jiangnan.

"It is said that the flower thief has a strange hand, no matter which girl and daughter-in-law he likes on the road, as long as he pats someone's shoulder, that girl will obediently follow him......"

"Nonsense, you're talking about shooting flowers!" said an old man who looked to be in his early sixties.

The storyteller said with a straight face: "You always think! If this flower thief didn't have the ability to shoot flowers, he could have harmed so many young girls?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and said, "Yes, yes, that's the truth." Hey, what does that flower thief look like?"

The storyteller thought for a moment and said, "Naturally, he is short and ugly. No girl will like it, so she will be a flower thief!"

Some people were unconvinced: "I heard that the flower thief is like a crown of jade, extremely handsome, and some girls who have seen his true face are still clamoring that he will not marry!"

"Hey, I've heard that the flower thief looks no different from ordinary people, but because he was born with a very big object, no girl can stand it, so he will go to pick flowers. Everyone burst into laughter, and a few half-grown children asked what it was, which caused even more obscene ridicule.

Hua Lianyue was caught off guard, and after listening to the foul words in one ear, her face was flushed, and she got up and walked to the tofu brain stall in a daze.

Dashuang also heard the interesting story of the flower thief, and she couldn't help but ask in a worried whisper, "Let's go, what should Miss Ruolan do?" Hua Lianyue didn't say anything, but a hint of brilliance flashed in her black eyes that were as bright as gems.

Hot, white and tender, the slightly trembling bean curd is ready. The sweet one is topped with dried osmanthus and honey, the salty one is topped with chopped peanuts, crispy dried shrimp, chopped green onions, and topped with a spoonful of black sauce. The taste is smooth and delicious, and people can't put it down.

After eating two large bowls in a row, she touched her bulging little belly and said with a satisfied face: "Let's go, let's find a place to stay." ”

Hua Lianyue led the big double, and the little pair turned seven and eight times, and actually came to the gate of the county office.

Today's county government gate is extremely quiet, and there is obviously no bitter lord to cry out for grievances. Two officials in soap suits and black boots were sitting on benches at the entrance of the yamen basking in the sun.

Seeing them coming, one of the big black men jumped up and stammered, "Flower, flower girl, why are you here?"

When Hua Lianyue saw it, she was happy, and it turned out to be half an acquaintance. She also raised her hand and waved, and greeted her very warmly: "Ada, is your Lord Huo inside?"

Ada's dark face slowly turned a little red, and after a pause, he touched the back of his head and said innocently: "Lord Huo, Lord Huo and Master Zhang went to Zhangjia Village outside the city together!"

"Gone out again?" Hua Lianyue frowned slightly, and she stepped up the steps, just about to step over the high threshold. Ada and the other servants rushed over and blocked her way.

Hua Lianyue was puzzled: "What are you doing here?"

Ada said with an embarrassed face: "Flower girl, our Lord Huo is really not here, or you should come again next time!"

Hua Lianyue said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm not looking for him!" She raised her legs and wanted to go inside, but the two officials guarded the door firmly like a door god, and she was not allowed to enter a single step. Ada also whispered: "Flower girl, you go first, you can't get in today." ”

"Why?" was blocked three times and twice, and a trace of suspicion rose in Hua Liyue's heart, and her face slowly became ugly.

"If you don't look for Lord Huo, what are you going to do inside, when the yamen is your embroidery room!" Unlike Ada's whispered persuasion, the words of the other official sounded a little unkind.

What a hassle!

Hua Lianyue said lightly: "Big double, small double ....."

The consequences are speechless, and after a crackling, our Miss Hua has already stood at the door of the study in the yamen.

The door of the study was ajar, and she could still see the handsome figure inside, sitting upright in front of the bookcase and looking at the official document in her hand. Hearing the noise, he looked up, and the handsome face that haunted her was visibly impatient.

The anger in Hua Lianyue's heart "soared" and burned brightly.
