Chapter Seventy-Two
Chapter Seventy-Two
As a young boy who wandered from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, no one knows the hardships of life better than the little brother of the Li family.
He usually earns ten yuan for writing letters, and he can earn fifty or one hundred yuan for writing some beautiful calligraphy and paintings, but in an inn in the capital, he needs one or two silver for a day to live!
It's still inferior!
Otherwise, he would not have chosen to live in the broken temple in the west of the city, after all, no matter how bad the environment of the broken temple is, after all, it still costs nothing.
And the house in the capital is even more expensive, an ordinary small house needs a few hundred taels, even the villages on the outskirts of Beijing need a hundred taels of silver, the environment is not good, and to live in the capital, there must be an entry, relying on him to study alone......
To be honest, the little brother of the Li family feels that this is very unrealistic.
Even if the teacher can subsidize some, the little brother of the Li family is not familiar with this strange master at all, how can he be embarrassed to accept favors from others for nothing?
The little brother of the Li family hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't say yes.
Xiao Xing arrived in a while, and as a good brother, he decided to wait until he met his sister before discussing with her.
If my sister wants to live in the capital...... The little brother of the Li family has a bitter face, even if he eats soil every day, he has to raise his sister!
On the other hand, after Xiao Xing was surprised, it was a surprise.
Daddy's illness has always been Xiaoxing's most concerning, and when she heard that it could be cured, Xiaoxing was of course pleasantly surprised.
So after hearing Grandpa Taifu's Jianyì, Xiao Xing curled the corners of her mouth, just thinking of her brother, Xiao Xing still said, "Then I'll go back and ask my brother, and then tell Grandpa Taifu okay?"
"Good. Taifu smiled, as far as he knew, Xie San attached great importance to that little doll, although the foundation of the Xie family was in Jiangnan, but Xie San was willing to send the little doll to Jiangnan's hometown?
Xiao Xiaoxing went back to ask her brother, it must be the same result!
Taifu Old God smiled, and then sent someone to send Xiao Xing to Xie San's mansion.
At this time, the little brother of the Li family has been waiting for Ah Mei for a long time, why hasn't he come back, why hasn't he come back, has something happened?
It wasn't until Xiao Xing finally arrived that the Li family's elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, the palace registration had been eliminated, so Xiao Xing was a civilian again, and she could go home with him!
Just thinking about going home...... The little brother of the Li family hesitated, but was still ready to speak.
"Little Apricot ......"
It's just that I didn't expect that at the same time, Xiao Xing was also trying to discuss this matter with Brother A, so when the little brother of the Li family opened his mouth to call Xiao Xing, Xiao Xing also called "Brother ......".
The two spoke at the same time, and the elder brother of the Li family naturally wanted his sister to speak first, so Xiaoxing thought about it for a while, and told the elder brother what Grandpa Taifu said.
"Imperial Doctor, can you treat blood syndrome?" Brother Li was very surprised, Daddy's illness is the most concerned thing in Xiao Xing's heart, and naturally it is also the most concerned thing in Brother Li's heart, at this time, hearing that it can be cured, Brother Li is naturally very surprised.
It's just that if Daddy wants to be cured, he must come to the capital, and it is impossible for the imperial doctor to go to Jiangnan to make a special trip to treat the disease, so the problem comes back again, that is, to live in the capital!
Xiao Xing recognized Taifu as her grandfather, Daddy's illness also needs to be treated in the capital, and the most important two people are in the capital, so the little brother of the Li family naturally wants to be in the capital.
It's just the price of the capital...... The little brother of the Li family gritted his teeth, it doesn't matter, even if he eats soil, he must feed his father and sister!
And Xiao Xing naturally saw her brother's hesitation at this time, but as soon as she looked up, she knew what her brother was thinking.
Xiao Xing blinked, although she had only been a palace maid in the palace for a few months, not to mention the monthly silver, there were also some miscellaneous rewards, of course, the main thing was to play cards for the concubine Niangniang, in addition to the part that was sent home before, there were dozens of taels left by her side, so after seeing her brother's hesitation, Xiao Xing took out her burden," Brother, I have a good life in the palace, and the concubine is also very kind, and she has a lot of rewards, well, these are all obtained in the palace, a total of sixty-eight taels and six coins of silver, although it is not much, but it is enough to live in the capital for a period of time. ”
"There are also debts at home that can be repaid, brother, don't worry. ”
Looking up, seeing his sister's concerned eyes, the elder brother of the Li family felt hot in his heart, but then he was sour, the little girl of another family is still eating sugar and coquettish in the arms of adults, but her own little sister ...... But I already knew the hardships of life early on, and I still had to support my family, how could I make the little brother of the Li family not feel sad!
It also strengthened the idea that the little brother of the Li family must let his sister live a good life even if he eats soil!
Xiao Xing, who was generous and sprinkled with silver, didn't know that his brother was still thinking about how to eat soil, and when the two were planning together how to use the money to pay off their debts and take Daddy to the capital, on the other side, His Royal Highness Xiao Qi had already returned to the palace.
"Mother, I can't bear to let Xiao Xing woo woo!" His Royal Highness Xiao Qi continued to cry and cry, without the slightest idea of a manly husband shedding blood without tears.
And the concubine Niangniang was also very sad, "The mother concubine is also reluctant to let the little apricot be so!"
stopped it once but didn't stop it, the concubine was so happy that she didn't even eat the mutton pot.
"Mother, when will I see Xiao Xing again, will she come back, will she not come back, will she not come back......" His Royal Highness Xiao Qi was very worried, he thought about Xiao Xing, and he started thinking about it after leaving for a while, thinking that Xiao Xing was going to leave for so long, His Royal Highness Xiao Qi was already not good.
Then how long does he have to think about Xiaoxing to come back!
The taste of missing is not happy at all.
And the concubine Niangniang touched the head of His Royal Highness Seven, Jiangnan is so far away, since Xiaoxing has entered the palace as a palace maid, then her family background must not be good, the journey is far away, and the cost is huge, maybe Xiaoxing will really not come back like this......
Thinking of this, looking at her son whose eyes were swollen from crying, and thinking about the little apricot with small soft meat and small dimples, the concubine raised her head suddenly.
No way!
Be sure to let Xiao Xing come back!
Although Xiao Xing is no longer a palace maid, even if she can't enter the palace, it's always okay to return to the capital.
The concubine thought, it doesn't matter if the distance is long, it doesn't matter how much it costs, as long as you have silver!
If she rewards Xiaoxing with 500 taels of silver, can she take Xiaoxing's family over and settle down?
Thinking of this, the concubine immediately rushed to her small vault, turned out the box containing silver, and turned out five silver tickets very skillfully.
Apricot will definitely come back!
Even if you don't come back, you have to pick it up!
So the little brother of the Li family was about to eat soil, and when the little apricot of the Li family was dedicating his small treasury, he heard that someone in the palace was looking for him.
Someone in the palace is looking for it?
Xiao Xing and Brother Li looked at each other at the same time, thinking of the twists and turns of the trip out of the palace, the two of them shivered at the same time.
Secretly rubbing and thinking, it won't be another twist and turn, right?
The two of them walked out of the house slowly, but when they saw the palace person's clothes and the tray in his hand, they felt that this person didn't seem to be like he was going to snatch Xiao Xing back to the palace.
And that's exactly what happened.
"Little apricot palace maid, hey no, it's little apricot girl, this is the concubine Niangniang knew that you left the palace, specially ordered to reward it, a total of five hundred taels of silver, I hope that the little apricot girl can often go back to the capital to visit, if there is a chance, it is also a good thing to bring the family to the capital. ”
The palace people said with a smile, while Xiao Xing and the elder brother of the Li family looked at each other again.
Ah, when the drowsiness comes, I will send a pillow, and I am short of money, so the concubine Niangniang sent a reward, and now, it is not right to take Daddy to the capital.
And with this silver, it doesn't seem difficult to settle in the capital?
Brother doesn't have to eat soil anymore, Xiao Xing doesn't have to take out all his small treasury, even Daddy's illness can be cured, and they can even give some silver to the imperial doctor......
Thinking of this, Xiao Xing was immediately very grateful to the concubine Niangniang, although these may be a drop in the bucket for the concubine, but for Xiao Xing, it is enough for their family to live.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you......"
Looking at Xiao Xing's surprised and grateful look, the palace people hurriedly waved their hands, "Don't thank me, it's all ordered by the concubine Niangniang, and I have brought the reward, so I'll go back to my life, Xiao Xing girl, don't live up to Niangniang's wishes, and come back to see Niangniang from time to time!"
"Definitely!" Xiao Xing smiled with the corners of her mouth curled.
She will live in the capital in the future, so it doesn't seem difficult to look at the concubine Niangniang?
Even His Royal Highness Xiao Qi seems to be able to meet often!
At this time, His Royal Highness Xiao Qi didn't know that Xiao Xing hadn't left, he was still in the capital, and he was still crying for Xiao Xing's departure.
Because the mother concubine said that it would take more than a month for Jiangnan to come and go, and it would take him more than a month to see Xiaoxing.
Thinking of more than a month, His Royal Highness Xiao Qi immediately continued to cry, woo woo, he doesn't want more than a month, he wants Xiao Xing......
I really want Xiaoxing to come back soon, woo woo!
