83. The road is uneven
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. Ah Ci once said that after he was crowned, if he did not inherit his father's business to protect his family and defend the country, then he would be the prime minister of the dynasty and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Tao Zhimo didn't know that as a young general, he defended his family and the country because of his worship of his father. But if he took up the sword, he would not be able to hold her in his arms. He decided to abandon martial arts and become an official in the court, with the dream of stabilizing the world, but this reason was only because he saw the pity for the beggar in her eyes.
But he never told her about this, and it was too late in his previous life and present life.
"Strange, why hasn't this sedan chair come yet?" Cai Wei looked around, and when she asked Chun Tao and a few of them to send flowers back to the house, she had already explained to them, and asked the house to send a sedan chair.
"Why don't you go first?" Tao weaving Moti yƬ said.
"No, you've been walking on your feet all afternoon." Luo Yaosi immediately vetoed.
"But...... My feet don't hurt, just a little sore. ā
"No...... Yes! Luo Yaosi pressed her shoulders and glared at her angrily, looking non-negotiable. If her feet weren't good, Mo Wangnan would kill someone, and send someone to ask her a few times a day, which would annoy her.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Cai Wei screamed.
The four sturdy sedan chair drivers panted and stopped with the sedan chair, and Chun Tao, who was trotting all the way by the sedan chair, was also sweating, and after stopping, he wiped his sweat and panted: "Sister Caiwei, none of the sedan chair drivers in the house are here!" These are still called by Sister Butterfly outside! ā
When Cai Wei heard this, she frowned, on weekdays, those minions in the mansion are all dog-eyed and low-looking! If it weren't for the fact that their silver was sent out like flowing water, I am afraid that they would not know how to live.
Tao Zhimo didn't care, and pulled Luo Yaosi into the sedan chair.
When the sedan chair was halfway through, it suddenly heard a noise in front of it, and the sedan chair stopped.
"What's wrong?" Luo Yaosi lifted the curtains.
"There seem to be a few thugs chasing a girl in front," Cai Wei lowered her voice, "like a girl in a green building." ā
When Luo Yaosi heard this, he wanted to intervene a little, but he was afraid that he would be nosy, so he hurriedly said: "You see if it is forcing Liang to become a prostitute, right?" ā
Cai Wei shook her head, "Unlikely, I think the girl in the building made a mistake." Ay! Cai Wei's voice suddenly changed, and she immediately rushed over.
Luo Yaosi hurriedly looked out the window, but his vision was blocked by the crowd watching the excitement in front of him.
"I'll go out and have a look!" Luo Yaosi hurriedly lifted the sedan curtain and jumped down.
"Be careful!" Tao Zhimo was inconvenient to get off the sedan chair because of his identity, so he could only open a small corner of the car curtain to look, but he couldn't see the situation in front clearly, so he hurriedly asked Chun Tao by the sedan chair, "What's wrong with Cai Wei?" ā
Chun Tao looked at it, "It seems that Sister Cai Wei went to help the girl in front." ā
When Tao Zhimo heard this, he pondered for a while, then picked up the handkerchief and tied it with a veil, and instructed Chun Tao: "I want to get off the sedan chair." ā
Soon, the coachman put down the sedan chair, Chun Tao lifted the sedan curtain, and Tao Zhimo walked out with her support.
After Chun Tao pushed aside the crowd on both sides, Tao Zhimo took a few steps forward and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl lying on the ground in disheveled clothes, and a little girl next to her tightly protected her. This little girl is the little flower girl they met not long ago. And Cai Wei was talking to a few thugs.
When Tao Zhimo stepped forward, he saw the thugs weighing the two ingots of silver in their hands and leaving fiercely.
Cai Wei helped the little girl on the ground up, and at the same time, the girl lying on the ground also raised her head, but shockingly, the girl had an extremely deep scar on her face, and the wound was already a little suppurated.
"What's going on?" Tao Zhimo asked.
"Miss," Cai Wei stepped forward, "this girl was sold into the Qinglou, and they asked her to pick up customers, and she refused to do so, so she scratched her face. I...... I couldn't take it for granted, so I helped her. ā
Luo Yaosi squatted down and carefully examined her wounds, a little worried, "Your wounds were not treated in time, I am afraid that if they are cured in the future, they will have to ......."
The girl raised her head, as if she had no love, and said coldly: "Why bother, just let it rot." As he spoke, he staggered to his feet.
After she stood up, she came to Cai Wei and knelt down, "Thank you girl for saving her life, I will return the silver to the girl." ā
Cai Wei hurriedly helped her up, "What's this, it's just a little silver." ā
She insisted on refusing to get up, "Chujing will definitely repay the girl's great kindness." ā
"It's really nothing! We people in the rivers and lakes are not confined to these things that are not repaid, but they are just a gesture. Cai Wei used her internal force to help her up, "Ruo...... If you really want to repay it, then go and heal your face. ā
When the girl heard this, she turned her face away in embarrassment.
Luo Yaosi pulled her, "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best with your face!" Then he said to Tao Zhimo, "Zhimo, you go back to the house first, and I will take her to the hospital for treatment." ā
"Then," Cai Wei looked at, "Then I'll accompany Miss back to the house first." ā
"Okay, okay! There you go. Luo Yaosi said and pulled the first scene and left, and the little girl who sold flowers hurriedly wiped away her tears and followed, without even having time to say thank you.
Tao Zhimo sighed softly and turned back into the sedan chair.
"Miss, you don't blame me for being nosy, do you?" After getting up from the sedan car, Cai Wei asked softly beside the sedan chair.
"No, since we have this ability, we can help, sometimes a gesture may change someone else's life." Tao Zhimo smiled.
"Hmm!" Cai Wei answered, and a smile appeared on her face.
After Tao Zhimo returned to the house, Chun Tao went to report to Mrs. Tao, and she and Cai Wei went back to the courtyard first.
As soon as he was admitted to the hospital, he smelled a fragrant smell of food, Tao Zhimo's stomach suddenly gurgled, and he hurriedly walked into the house, and what caught his eye was a table of steaming food, Tao Zhimo hurriedly cleaned his hands and prepared to eat.
"Huh? Hasn't Mercy Hitomi come back yet? Tao Zhimo took the handkerchief handed by the butterfly and wiped his hands.
"Not yet." As soon as the butterfly's words fell, she heard the voice of pity ringing outside the door, "It's so fragrant!" Soon, Mercy jumped in, already drooling.
"You've been out there for a long time, do you have anything to buy?" Tao Zhimo smiled.
Pity Tong smiled while cleaning his hands: "I bought a lot of delicious and fun things!" I'll show it to Sister Weaving later! I've bought all of yours! Hey? What about Sister Luo? ā
"She's in business, healing a sick person outside." The two sat down as they spoke, and Tao Zhimo sandwiched a piece of tender chicken into her bowl.
"Uh-oh." Pupil picked up the chopsticks, picked up the chicken in the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, "But I'm hungry." Hmm, Mama Li's slippery chicken is so delicious! Pupil was satisfied.
When Tao Zhimo saw her like this, she smiled knowingly and began to eat.
The butterfly standing next to her, her eyes fell on the hand of Pupil holding chopsticks, her hand trembling slightly, although she had tried her best to restrain it. There was also a slight sweat on her forehead.
Pity Pupil, are you really practicing this kind of exercise?
In the evening, Tao Zhimo was tinkering with the three or four pots of flowers she had bought from the flower shop today. These pots of flowers also cost her ten taels of silver, if it weren't for the shyness in her pocket, it is estimated that she could buy a dozen pots back.
Taking advantage of the spring flowers, she can develop more flower teas. Tao Zhimo understood that she couldn't sit on the mountain like this anymore, and she planned to open a flower tea shop in the imperial capital, maybe she could make a little money.
"I'm tired!" Luo Yaosi's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"I'm back!" Tao Zhimo carefully trimmed the branches and leaves, and did not look at her.
"Hmm." Luo Yaosi sat down and took a big sip of tea after entering the house.
"What's wrong with that girl's face?" Tao Zhimo turned her face to look at her, and saw that her face was also tired.
"It's okay! I guess I still have to leave a scar. Luo Yaosi pursed his mouth.
"You do your best, if you need any medicinal herbs, I have them here, you can use them." Tao Zhimo withdrew her gaze and concentrated on picking up her flowers.
"Okay!" Luo Yaosi grinned.
In the next few days, Tao Zhimo was all concocting her flower tea, while Luo Yaosi ran outside the house every afternoon, and after running for a few days, he shouted again and again.
After returning that day, she pulled Tao Zhimo and discussed: "I think the place where the two sisters live in Chujing is too dilapidated, and it is not safe for the two little girls to live there. There aren't many people in your courtyard right now, so why don't you bring them in? Of course, I'm just mentioning it slightly, and it's okay if you find it inconvenient. ā
Tao Zhimo hesitated and asked, "How are the two sisters?" ā
Luo Yao thought for a while, "Chujing is a capable person, but he doesn't like to talk very much, Xia Hua, he is also diligent on weekdays, but he is a little timid." I think it's good to have both of them come to your hospital to help. With the two sisters' hearts of knowing how to repay their kindness, they are not afraid of being bought by others. ā
Tao Zhimo thought for a while, and felt that there was no big problem, so he said: "You let the butterfly arrange it." "Butterfly service, she is relieved.
"Weaving foam, you're really good!" Luo Yaosi was overjoyed and hugged her.
Suddenly, Luo Yaosi noticed the cold gaze of the butterfly, and quickly let go of her. This butterfly, since that time, as long as she and Tao Zhimo are alone, she will stare at it tightly, and it is useless for her to explain it in private.
The next day, the two sisters, Chujing and Xiahua, moved in, made a third-class maid ring, and did chores in the backyard on weekdays. Tao Zhimo has only met with them a few times. These sisters are really as Luo Yaosi said, the elder sister doesn't like to talk, and the younger sister is timid.
After a short period of time, on this day, Tao Zhimo was feeding Mo Qimiao to eat lettuce, and secretly thought in his heart, this Mo Wangnan, it seems that he has not shown up for a long time.
At this time, Luo Yaosi happened to walk in, and quickly covered her eyes when she saw Mo Qimiao, she just couldn't see these furry things, it was too disgusting!
Tao Zhimo smiled when she saw her like this, and ran to tease Luo Yaosi with Mo Qiyun in her arms. This time, I have grown up a lot, and it is a little heavy to hold.
"Oh, don't do that!" Luo Yaosi hurriedly dodged and ran out of the courtyard, "I just wanted to ask, Duanyang will be in a few days, do you go or not?" ā
"To what?" Tao Zhimo stopped and asked puzzled.
