5. Childe
The scorching sun of July bakes the ground hot, and ice cubes are placed in the teahouse to relieve the heat. Xia Yao felt as if she had been abandoned into a distant and desolate desert, and her whole body was screaming - hot.
It was an indescribable heat that emanated from the bottom of my heart.
Xia Yao stared at the scholar's face, as if she wanted to remember this face in her heart and carve it in her heart.
Her eyes were too dazzling, and the scholar couldn't help but shrink back, and said, "I...... Can I go? โ
Xia Yao shook her head for a few seconds before revealing a bright and tactful smile, "Of course you can." โ
It was as if she had been friends with him for many years.
In this short moment, the surrounding crowd was still confused and didn't know what was going on, but they vaguely felt that this framed girl seemed to have changed and looked better.
Ah Jiu got Xia Yao's nod, stretched out his hand and quickly picked up his unloaded hands and feet in the scholar's painful howl.
As soon as the scholar's hands and feet were ready, he glanced at Xia Li with a weak heart, and ran away in a panic.
Xia Yao had just thanked Ah Jiu again, but was forced to go home by Xia Li on the side.
The carriage at home was waiting outside, and after an emergency, Xia Yao was indeed a little tired, and she clumsily repeated the words she had said several times awkwardly upstairs loudly, "Thank you so much this time, the little woman's surname is Xia, I don't know your surname?" Childe's move, the little woman is really grateful. โ
Xia Yao didn't know what was going on with her? Obviously she hadn't seen anyone yet, but when she heard a voice, she felt like a girl who had been drugged, and this heart, the whole person leaned towards the unknown son upstairs.
After waiting for a while, there was no response from upstairs.
Xia Yao pursed her lips lightly, her mouth opened and closed, as if she wanted to say something? In the end, they all turned into a sigh, and followed Xia Li, who had been waiting impatiently, towards the outside of the house.
Inside and outside the house, there are two worlds. As soon as Xia Yao's right foot crossed the threshold, a wave of heat hit her face, and at this moment, a faint voice responded to Xia Yao's question just now-"Yuan." โ
With only this simple word, Xia Yao turned her head in confusion, if it weren't for the exclamations of the surrounding crowd, she would even think that this was just her own imagination.
"Alright." Xia Li anxiously urged Xia Yao with a bit of mockery, "I also got the name, why don't you leave?" Do you want to stay here? โ
Xia Yao turned her head and looked at Xia Li for two seconds, before she turned her head and responded with an unchanged expression: "Sister said she laughed." โ
Xia Li let out a disdainful 'hum' sound from her mouth, her main purpose now is to quickly get rid of the scholar who ran away before, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that someone will find out something. Therefore, Xia Li didn't want to continue to entangle with Xia Yao here.
The horses and the chariot maids outside were hiding in the shade to rest, and when they saw that their young lady had come out, they hurried out, bent down flatteringly, and said, "Miss, where are you going?" โ
Xia Li got into the carriage with the support of her personal maidservant and ordered, "Go home." โ
The servant got the order and immediately rushed towards Xia's house.
Xia Yao and Xia Li were not in the same carriage, compared to the delicate beauty of Xia Li's one, the carriage she sat in was only slightly better than those inferior cars.
Before leaving, Xia Yao couldn't help but glance towards the second floor of the Literati Pavilion. This glance made her feel that her heart was pounding and beating.
The man standing by the window on the second floor, with his long hair pulled up high, his face like a crown of jade, his eyebrows and eyes smiling, saw Xia Yao looking at her, and politely smiled at her.
With just this one action, Xia Yao was sure that he was the original son who helped him before.
Xia Yao couldn't help but laugh along, and then had to get into the carriage and leave the place at the urging of the coachman.
The carriage inevitably bumped on the road, and Xia Yao held on to the nailed small square table with her hand, but her heart was disorganized.
On the one hand, she was thinking about the original son she had seen today, and on the other hand, she was thinking about Xia Lila's simple and crude strategy.
She has only been in this world for a few days now, and she was framed by Xia Li like this, Xia Yao inquired about the character of the original owner, one word - soft.
Then it's like dough, let others pinch it in their hands.
Obviously, she is also a concubine, but she is worse than a concubine.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but bring today's events into the original owner, and the original owner would probably be ruined today.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly shook, and Xia Yao didn't notice it, and hit the table in front of him.
She couldn't help but lift the curtain and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter at this time?" โ
Even if Xia Yao is no longer favored at home, she is also a serious concubine, even if these subordinates usually disrespect her, but if something really happens to her, it is difficult for a lowly subordinate like him to be taken out and sold by the master.
Therefore, the man who drove the car was also angry, he waved the horsewhip in his hand, and shouted and scolded the people in front of him: "You little rabbit, don't you look at the road when you walk?" Get the hell out of the way for Grandpa. โ
Xia Yao followed his gaze and saw a person wearing dirty linen clothes, tattered straw sandals on his feet, and his hair was messy.
Now this man is falling to the ground, not knowing whether he is alive or dead.
Xia Yao looked strange, she had met the ancient version of porcelain??
The groom in the car obviously thought of it with Xia Yao, this person happened to be in the middle of the road, if he was not moved, the carriage would not be able to go.
The people in the surrounding shops stood at the door to watch the excitement, and the groom had to get out of the car with impatience on his face, and pulled the person up, "Hey! Wake me up, I didn't hit you with this car. โ
This pull, it's broken.
A small strap was exposed from the shoulder, Xia Yao knew very well, wasn't that the ancient belly pocket?
And the belly pocket, isn't it just for women?
The groom clearly saw this thin line, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the dirty woman made a noise against the road.
The groom was at a loss and begged Xia Yao for help: "Miss...... This ......"
Xia Yao raised her eyebrows, with a righteous and awe-inspiring look on her face, "You hit someone else's girl, why don't you send it to the hospital quickly." In my heart, I always feel that what happened before and the scene in front of me are very familiar.
The groom gritted his teeth and made a bitter face, "Miss, she is a girl's family, I am a big old man, this is a ............"
Xia Yao was just a bad taste before, embarrassed and embarrassed, she glanced at the little beggar's dirty clothes, rubbed her temples with her hands, and waved her hands helplessly, "Carry her into the sedan chair first, and we will send her to the hospital." โ
The groom obviously knew that 'Xia Yao' was just a soft-tempered person, so he was surprised for a moment, so he carefully pulled the little beggar's two arms and moved her into the sedan chair.
The people around are wondering, which lady is this, why is she so kind?
Xia Yao's sedan chair was not big, and the two of them inevitably looked a little crowded, she carefully shrunk into a ball, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, in a vain attempt to isolate the rancid smell from the little beggar. As the carriage jolted forward, the little beggar let out a very light โกโก, and then slowly opened his eyes.
"You ......" Xia Yao just wanted to say something.
The little beggar pounced on the hungry tiger, and kept stuffing the plate of scattered snacks on the small table into his mouth with both hands, even if it fell on the table.
Xia Yao was nauseous in her stomach, she had eaten a bite of the mung bean cake when she first got in the car, not only was it dry, without the slightest smell of mung beans, but also had this strange smell, and she didn't know what it had been put for a few days.
"This is...... Oh bad! Wait a minute, the person eats bad. Xia Yao wanted to reach out to pull the little beggar who was struggling to eat, but she didn't dare to do it because the other party didn't have a clean place on her body.
Xia Yao is not a person who is obsessed with cleanliness, but this does not include seeing a person with a sieve with hair that can be accepted without any obstacles.
When the little beggar heard Xia Yao's words, he paused for a second, and then continued to stuff it into his mouth, eating it in a big gulp, and squeezing out a few words from his mouth, "...... Not... It's okay... ......"
Seeing this, Xia Yao sighed, I'm afraid she was hungry, so she simply let her go.
The groom outside vaguely heard the movement in the car and asked loudly, "Miss...... Are we still going to the hospital? โ
Xia Yao touched her purse, there were only a few pieces of broken silver in it, which was all her belongings, and looked at the little beggar, "Yours...... Your body is fine! Need to go to the doctor? โ
"Uh-huh?" The little beggar stuffed the last bit of heart foam into his mouth, and the two cheeks bulged out like hamsters hiding food, looking a little cute, "No... No... Noโ" she kept shaking her head, "...... I actually...... Actually, it's ...... Hungry. โ
"Not really." Xia Yao set her eyes on her arm where the red mark had been pulled out.
Her hand shrank behind her back and swallowed the last bit of food in her mouth, "I really don't need to, it's just that the sun is too big, and I've been hungry for a long time...... I fainted, and I really caused trouble for the girl. At this point, her cheeks were a little red, but fortunately there was a layer of black ash that outsiders couldn't see at all.
"It's fine." Xia Yao waved her hand and showed a kind smile, "It's okay if you're okay." โ
Xia Yao is not a good person, she is just one of the most ordinary people in the world, and she is still happy to be able to help others without harming her own interests.
The little beggar looked at her kind appearance, and after her black eyes gurgled around, she prayed in a low voice, "I don't know if there is a shortage of servants around the girl." โ
Then in Xia Yao's surprised gaze, she hurriedly added, "I...... I can embroider and cook, I don't need to be paid, as long as you can feed me. โ
