Chapter 44: Chen

Liu Xiaohua looked at the Seventh Prince, who had finally quieted down and fell into a coma, and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Xu Zhang was also scared enough, and the rest of his soul sat down and gasped. said to Liu Xiaohua: "No, I still have to invite you Mr. Li Da over." Before he heard back from His Majesty, he had to be told to stay here. Otherwise, if I toss like this twice, my old life will be gone. ”

Liu Xiaohua sat still and didn't move.

"Little lady?" Xu Zhang shouted again.

Liu Xiaohua suddenly turned around and asked, "How long has he been like this?" Since when? ”

Xu Zhang was taken aback by her sudden turn, "On that day, I went to find Mr. Li Da for the first time." I've seen you in the Flower Hall. That's it for a day or two before that day. Puzzled, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Xiaohua said: "It's nothing. ”

Xu Zhang wanted to see some signs from Liu Xiaohua's face, but he found nothing, so he had to believe that she was telling the truth.

Liu Xiaohua said, "You guys go." It's enough for me to keep watch here, and when he wakes up, he will call you. ”

"That's embarrassing." But Xu Zhang is actually desperate.

He was also afraid that if the Seventh Prince had a bad time when he was staying here, how would he be able to explain it clearly at that time? Now it would be better if Liu Xiaohua was willing, in the end, Liu Xiaohua was the young lady of the Lin Mansion, and it was her own request to keep her, even if there was something, she couldn't blame him. After leaving a servant to listen to Liu Xiaohua's call, he took everyone away.

The slave who stayed behind was the one who had been tricked by the Seven Princes before. Silly little girl. I was stunned and didn't know how to be afraid at all, so I looked at Liu Xiaohuale hehe.

"Go and keep watch outside, and if my mother-in-law comes, take her to the place where the next person stays to rest." Don't ask her to bother me. ”

The little girl nodded, "Oh." He turned and ran out. After a while, he ran in and asked, "Which mother-in-law?" ”

Liu Xiaohua said: "The surname is Yue." The mother-in-law from the Lin Mansion. ”

She staggered and ran again.

It came and went like a gust of wind.

The room fell silent.

Liu Xiaohua finally got free, stretched out her hand and was about to pour tea, but suddenly froze. He jerked back his outstretched hand.

She was looking at a perfectly normal hand, without any wounds or anything unusual.

But herein lies the problem.

The parasite was gone. It's as if there was never a zΓ i.

She reached out and touched it, but there was no foreign object under her skin. She hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and pressed upwards inch by inch.

Nothing!

She didn't know if it was a plant or an animal, a parasite or something else. Now this thing is gone. In retrospect, she didn't seem to have any abnormalities or discomfort in her body.

It can only be imagined in the best direction, maybe after that thing is rooted in the human body, it is found that it cannot adapt to the human body, and finally death dissipates. Now she's a healthy person.

At this time, the person on the collapsed β–‘β–‘ in pain, and suddenly sat up as if he had been awakened from a nightmare, frowned and covered his head, and asked, "Why did I fall asleep?" My head hurts so much" exclaimed to Liu Xiaohua: "You, you won't beat me while I'm sleeping!" ”

Liu Xiaohua retracted her hand, ignored him, and asked, "When I talked to the people of the Lin family in this room before, including when I took off the beads, you also heard and saw it. But why didn't I know how my appearance would change after that? She was so shocked to hear the news that she ignored many details.

The young man scratched his head, sighed and said with a sad face: "Anyway, you know everything." I'll just tell you the truth. I've been here for a while, but I don't know why, old fragment. Sometimes, I was eating and walking in the morning, and suddenly my eyes changed, and I was already sleeping on the kang at night. You say, I'm not some kind of sequelae, schizophrenia!! ”

As he spoke, he gasped and jumped up and slapped his thigh, "Oops." I'm insane! ”

After saying that, he sat back on his ass and muttered, "Could it be that I'm really insane?" Now I haven't crossed at all, I'm actually in a mental hospital, and this qiΔ“ is all my hallucination? ”

Grinding his chin as he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiaohua, as if he wanted to get an answer from her, but as soon as he saw her clothes, he wilted, "I told you that you don't understand...... Alas, forget it, that's it, love what's up. ”

Then he β–‘β–‘ in high spirits, ran to Liu Xiaohua's side and asked flatteringly: "I said, you can tell me about this." Alas, you don't know how unlucky I am, I've been eating and drinking here for a while, and I haven't listened to any useful information. ”

As he spoke, there was a commotion outside. He immediately shut his mouth and ran to the window to peek out. also beckoned to Liu Xiaohua and whispered in a breathy voice: "Come on, your family is here." ”

Liu Xiaohua walked over and lay down next to him, looking out of the window, Mrs. Yue was standing in the courtyard with a group of servants holding things.

The Seventh Prince sighed, "This big battle, is it going to build you a new house in my mansion or what?" Why don't you just move in with the house. ”

Liu Xiaohua retorted: "Is this your mansion?" ”

The Seventh Prince, hehele, "Didn't it before, won't it be in the future?" He patted Liu Xiaohua's shoulder very righteously, "Master, I will see that you are a kind and righteous person, and if I dry it in the future, I will not let you drink it thin." Let's be in this together, and make sure you have a good life. Lao Tzu is a prince! If you want someone you don't like, I'll have someone cut him down in minutes! ”

Liu Xiaohua stared outside and said casually, "You don't have to buy me, and I won't tell you about it." You'd better not be too intimate with me. ”

"Do you feel like you can't climb high?" The Seventh Prince sighed: "Don't look at your young age, the concept of hierarchy is quite strict." Although my status is a little higher, I don't dislike people from the lower classes like you. ”

"I'm looking at your bad brain, and I'm afraid that one day something will happen to you, and it will affect me. You don't have to be close to me. Liu Xiaohua said and moved a step to the side.

"Hey, you're so good-looking, why are your mouths so poisonous. I'm standing with you. The Seventh Prince stepped over and stood next to her, looking at her triumphantly.

Immature.

Liu Xiaohua couldn't look outside anymore, rolled her eyes and ignored him.

The little girl in the courtyard stopped in front of Mrs. Yue, and repeated the sentence with confidence: "The young lady said, don't go in." Just give it to me. Go and rest yourselves where the people are staying. ”

Yue Po has been talking to her for a long time, but she just said the same thing back and forth. I won't let you in the door. Yue Po became alert: "Is our young lady in there?" ”

The little girl was puzzled: "Naturally, it's here." I'm taking care of Your Highness. ”

Yue Po changed her words and said: "Actually, the old lady also explained some things, so I must sue Miss SΓΉ." Please also inform me. ”

The little girl said incredulously, "I see you made it up." I said it for a long time, and you didn't mention that you had anything to give. Now I suddenly have to go in. Your young lady said that she wouldn't let you in, why do you have to go in?! Aren't you adding to your master's blockage? ”

Yue Po's face was also a little unbearable, but the more she saw that she didn't eat oil and salt, the more uneasy she became, so she simply stayed in the room.

The little girl is alone, where is she worthy of the people she brought. It was pushed away in one fell swoop.

Mrs. Yue entered the outer room, and when she saw that it was empty, her face was so gloomy that she could drip water, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that she had fallen for the girl's plan, and it was obvious that she was turning the tiger away from the mountain and deliberately made her angry. Turn your head and rush into the inner room.

turned the screen, and saw Liu Xiaohua sitting in front of the collapse guarding the Seventh Prince, and that heart was put down. I feel that I really think highly of Liu Xiaohua, and sure enough, just like the old lady said, this little girl seems to be shrewd but is actually very greedy for money and stupid. Hurriedly squeezed out a smile and saluted, "Miss." I brought everything here. ”

Liu Xiaohua laughed sarcastically and said, "You mother-in-law is really majestic, and there are no taboos in the Seven Princes' Mansion. Even the bedroom of the Seven Princes dared to break in. It really gives Lin Mansion a face. ”

Yue Po didn't know what she was taught when she went back, and she was not annoyed when she was scolded by such a ruthless criticism, and said with a smile: "The slave is worried about Miss." The Seven Princes are mentally incomplete, what if they collide with Miss? That little girl is a person from the Seven Princes' Mansion, and she is the master of her family, how can I rest assured that I don't see you all beards and tails. But it is also true that the slave is reckless, the slave is wrong, and the lady is also asked to punish her. As he spoke, he really knelt down.

Liu Xiaohua glanced at her, ignored her, and pointed to a subordinate holding a jewelry box to ask him to come over. I opened the box and took a skim.

She didn't know much about what was valuable in the world, and she didn't know how to distinguish gems. But the jewelry was exactly what she had asked for, all gold.

She asked the man, "Is it real gold?" ”

The subordinate nodded hurriedly, "It's real gold." ”

She picked it up and bit it hard. There were a row of tooth marks biting out of it. Then she looked excited, waved her hand, and said to Mrs. Yue: "Forget it." I don't bother to bother with you, you are the person next to your grandmother. But if you make trouble here again, I can't control it if someone else teaches you a lesson. Since you have come back after finishing your business, you will go to Steward Xu first and ask him how he plans to settle me. ”

Yue Po thought that she would inevitably be embarrassed by her, but she didn't expect her temper to suddenly change for the better. He stood up and said yes, and motioned for everyone to follow him and withdraw.

The subordinate who decorated the box with his hand, seeing that Liu Xiaohua had no intention of returning the box to him, could only leave empty-handed.

Liu Xiaohua called Mrs. Yue again, "Do you know, when will my aunt arrive?" ”

Mrs. Yue shook her head, "But I don't know." ”

Liu Xiaohua frowned and said, "Then why didn't my grandmother send someone to pick it up?" ”

Mrs. Yue was not guarded and said, "When we found the village, the people in the village said that the fourth lady had come to Tiancheng. It must have been a fork in the road. The government has already sent someone to guard the pharmacy to prevent the fourth lady from coming over. ”

"That's fine." Liu Xiaohua was very satisfied, and instructed her: "You can start buying things for my mother." My mother has suffered a lot in the years since she left the Lin Mansion. You just have to give her a good and expensive one to be worthy of her. ”

Yue Pozi smiled and said, "Exactly." ”

Liu Xiaohua looked uneasy and said, "Tomorrow, you ask the store to send things to the house, and I will personally pick them for her." ”

Yue Po nodded again and again and flattered and said, "Knowing the mother is Mo Ruonu." It's still the young lady who picks it and the fourth lady likes it more. The old slave will call the best shops in the city tomorrow. ”

He turned around and went out with people in a mighty way.

Out of the house, a girl in the servant pile hurriedly asked Yue Po, "A-Niang, do you want to leave a few more people here to guard her?" ”

Mrs. Yue disagreed: "After a while, I asked Steward Xu where he lived, and we still have to tidy it up." It's not early in the day. The more people there are, the faster things can be done. Otherwise, how will I sleep today? How many more people are left, who will do the work? ”

The girl wondered, "What if ......?"

"The old lady said that she is so temperamental that she is not afraid of anything else." Yue Pozi sneered, "Didn't you see it?" Her mind is full of dreams of living a rich life. Even if you catch up, I'm afraid you won't be able to drive it away. Think about it back then, what kind of character was Chen? was pinned on by the Chen family, and there was no better upbringing. How could such a daughter who only knows mundane things be taught. I'm afraid of poverty. ”

Liu Xiaohua waited for her to leave, and immediately picked out a few items from the jewelry box and stuffed them on her body.

The Seventh Prince opened his eyes and turned over to support his chin and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Liu Xiaohua rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you need money to inquire about the news?" ”

"What are you going to inquire about?" The Seventh Prince waved his hand, "What's the reason to be anxious about inquiring about the news, you can tell me about this first." ”

"Since you're not in a hurry, then I don't have anything to hurry." Liu Xiaohua really didn't plan to go, "Anyway, it's not me who will be killed." ”

The Seventh Prince immediately squeezed out a smile: "Actually, I don't have to know the situation here now, anyway, I've been here for so long, and it's okay to be early or late." It's better to inquire about the news. You go, you go. Come on! Be careful. ”

Liu Xiaohua didn't go, sat down and said, "It's not right to think about it." There's no reason to ask you about it, but you want me to pay for it. Why don't you see what is valuable, and give it to me. ”

"Why are you so stingy? What about those who say they want to be kind-hearted? "The Seven Princes were reluctant, looking around, but none of them were willing. In the end, he pulled a piece of jade pendant from his waist, touched and touched and looked at it, and said to the jade affectionately, "Heart and liver, master, I really have to love it." Cai reluctantly handed it to Liu Xiaohua, "You can save some." ”

Liu Xiaohua laughed, "The Communist Party of China will give me a jade pendant, how can I save it?" ”

He rolled his eyes and said, "Then you remember who you rewarded, and I will come back when the time comes." "Tell me again and again, "You can remember which one." This jade is very valuable. ”

Liu Xiaohua stuffed the jade, turned around and went out, and didn't look at the servant left by Mrs. Yue, but said to the little girl, "Your Highness asked me to bring him candy." Do you know where it is? ”

The little girl nodded hurriedly, "Over there in the kitchen." ”

"Lead the way."

The little girl ran away with her skirt upside down. Liu Xiaohua walked a few steps, and found that the servants of the Lin Mansion were following behind him step by step, frowning and saying, "If I take a candy, you will follow?" There is no one guarding here, and if His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince goes crazy in a while, something happens, you just wait to be rewarded! ”

As he spoke, he turned around and left.

The servant ran a few steps after her, and was afraid that something would really happen to the Seventh Prince, so he hesitated, thinking that Liu Xiaohua didn't seem to have anything in his hand and turned around and went into the house.

Walking out of the courtyard, Liu Xiaohua saw that the servant really didn't follow, so she said to the little girl with an angry face: "By the way, the Seventh Prince also asked me to help him buy candy." ”

"Huh?" The little girl stopped and asked, "How did Your Highness know that there is such a thing as a sugar man?" Steward Xu said that it was not good

Let His Highness know what is outside, I am afraid that His Highness will be greedy for fun and greedy, and he will want to live outside all day long. None of us will talk about outside matters in front of His Highness. ”

Liu Xiaohua was surprised, and then said: "Then it's no wonder, he has been pestering me to talk about things outside." He already knows it, I can't say no. After a while he went crazy again. ”

The little girl was embarrassed, scratching her head, "The steward has to scold me for a while." He glanced at Liu Xiaohua with some grievances.

Liu Xiaohua was embarrassed: "Otherwise, so be it." You take me out through the middle of nowhere, and I'll buy it back. Don't let anyone else know. You won't be scolded anymore. ”

The little girl hesitated for a moment and said, "That's fine." Let's go out from the west, and there is a little corner gate where all the men go in and out. ”

After about half an hour, Liu Xiaohua finally stepped out of the Seven Princes' Mansion.

She took a deep breath, feeling that the air outside was fresher than inside.

The little girl told behind her, "There is a candy man on the street to buy it." I'm here to guard the door for you. You can come back quickly. His Highness was in a hurry for a while. ”

"Yes." Liu Xiaohua walked in a secluded snow alley and waved at her. Strode out of the alley, quickly squeezed into the crowd and turned around and ran in the direction of the hotel. The people of the Lin family didn't know that the Chen family came to Tiancheng because of her letter, and at that time they said that if the Chen family came to do things in the hotel first, she was free, so she naturally went to the hotel to find the Chen family.

When Liu Xiaohua ran to the hotel, the hotel was lively, and the merchants put their burdens aside, drinking wine and talking and laughing. The shopkeeper stood behind the counter, his hands folded in his sleeves, smiling and chatting with people.

Liu Xiaohua looked around, but didn't see Chen's figure, and the shopkeeper saw her first and waved at her.

"Didn't my aunt come?" Liu Xiaohua squeezed over and asked.

"It's coming, it's time to go." The shopkeeper sighed and said with a sad face, "It's really difficult to find someone to write the letter on your behalf." ”

Liu Xiaohua was stunned, "Gone?" Immediately asked, "Did you get picked up?" ”

"No, it's not. I worked here for a few days, and suddenly one day I said I was leaving. Just left. ”

"Didn't you leave anything behind?"

The shopkeeper's scratching head "seems to have a message." You wait. Stretching his neck, he rushed to a drunk man in the corner of the hotel and shouted, "Big neck, big neck." Ask you for words. ”

The big neck was flushed with drink, and he walked over crookedly and asked, "What?" ”

The shopkeeper asked, "This is Mrs. Chen's daughter." Ask her if she left a message. I seem to hear you say that you stayed? ”

The big neck looked at Liu Xiaohua with drunken eyes and a drink, but he still spoke very clearly, and he was not too confused: "Oh." Your aunt said that she told you her fate, saying that there is a catastrophe in your life, and you can't see the rich and noble, and you can't see the surname Lin. Let you be obedient and take care of yourselves. ”

"Nothing else?" Lin Xiaohua asked, "Didn't say where she went?" ”

The big neck said as a matter of course: "Of course I went home." Otherwise, where would she go to a woman's house? Then he turned and went back to the wine table.

The shopkeeper saw that the little girl was at a loss, and asked her with concern, "What's the matter?" Your aunt is in a hurry. The day before, she was sitting in the shop listening to people's chatter, and she cried without knowing it, and her eyes were red, as if something was wrong. I asked her, and she didn't say anything. The next day she took leave to go out for a walk, and when she came back, she said she was leaving. I told her to see you before leaving, but she refused. Is there something wrong with your home? ”

Liu Xiaohua said with a heavy heart: "Maybe it's because of my brother's death, she feels uncomfortable." ”

"Tsk!" The shopkeeper's eyes widened, "I'll just say." People chatted about the death of a young boy in the family science, why are you crying? It turned out that he was so sentimental because he thought of his own son. ”

Liu Xiaohua came out of the hotel and stood stunned for a while looking at the shuttle crowd. The nose suddenly became a little sour. Although she is not her own mother but the aunt of 'Liu Xiaohua', she suddenly knows that she has left herself, but she still inevitably feels uncomfortable in her heart.

Where did A-Niang go?

If there is a reason not to go back to the Lin family, will it be to go back to the Chen family?

"Chongyue Palace, above Lethe." Liu Xiaohua turned around and rushed back to the hotel.

The shopkeeper turned back when he saw her gone, and looked at her curiously.

She hurriedly asked, "Do you know where Lethe is?" Which way to stay? ”

The shopkeeper was stunned: "That's not a place where we ordinary people can go." Even if the road is far away, some places where the gods, demons and monsters don't eat you, they can scare you to death, the people here want to go to Lethe, they have to call the people from Lethe to come and pick them up, they don't pick up, outsiders can't get through at all. Why do you ask this? ”

"Really?" Liu Xiaohua stood stunned for a while, is there a way for A-Niang to go back? But why not bring your own? She is sad for Liu Er, but isn't she worried about herself? How can you leave yourself here alone?

At this moment, she felt as if she had been greatly wronged, and her nose was so sour that she couldn't open her mouth.

After a long pause, she asked again: "Then do you know how to go to Binzhou?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "You go out from the south gate, go all the way through Pingde, pass through the west vein of Huanshan, and then go north, and you will arrive after passing through Xingdu." ”

Liu Xiaohua thanked him, found the largest pawnshop, and used the smallest ring. Change one gold bean, two silver slots, and two strings of big money. Then he ignored the incense paper shop next to the pawnshop and went to the east of the city to find one.

After the old man asked her what she was going to do, he brought a small package out to her, "If you don't have anything, it's the most cost-effective to buy this." ”

Liu Xiaohua opened it and saw that there were three pillars of incense, a small pot of wine, a stack of yellow paper, and a strange triangular talisman bag.

It seems that there are many people on the road of Mingzhi. Even the store has experience.

Liu Xiaohua prepared these things, but went to the north gate.

I went out of the city to find a lonely beggar and paid five large sums of money to buy his clothes.

The beggar thought that he had come to work and made a fortune, and there was no one who would not refuse. For fear of slowing down, she doesn't want to. Take the money and run.

She found a place to hide, put the tattered clothes on her face, and rolled on the ground a few more times, untying her hair into a man's bun, and scratching it unkempt. After carefully checking that there was no revealing stuffing, and making sure that the clothes inside would not be exposed no matter how much you moved, you re-entered through the north gate. Walk towards the South Gate.

When she lined up to leave the city, she was nervous again. The people who were afraid of the Lin family had already found out that she was gone. If they had guarded the gates and checked them one by one, they would not have been able to escape.

But it seems that God has finally begun to favor her, and the gatekeepers have not looked at her for a long time.

When she left the city, she was still thinking about how to do this memorial ceremony, and she saw a few people lighting incense in the farewell pavilion. She rolled up her sleeves and ran over to look. It turned out that he was also going to worship the people of the sect.

After reading it, she also followed their example, first respecting heaven and earth, and then burning incense paper to the god of the road.

Those people looked at a beggar and learned to be clear-eyed, and they couldn't help but laugh at it. As if she was trying to embarrass them. Not a single good word.

She doesn't argue either. Light the three pillars of incense, salute them, and stick them on the ground.

Licheng then crossed these disrespectful people and went to the main road.

At last.

She glanced back at Tian Cheng.

Not long ago, she didn't know anything, thinking that she was just an ordinary person with her mother, brother and father. But now, Daddy was killed, Elder Brother died, and Auntie was nowhere to be found. And she also knew that whether these people were her family members or not.

In this world, no one cares about her suffering, no one cares about her safety, no one loves her, and she doesn't love anyone.

She was a person who had nothingβ€”the thought made her heart bitter.

It's as if she has completely lost touch with this world.

She struggled to find some reason to cheer herself up.

Or is it not that I have nothing? She still has an immortal-like master waiting for her.

Liu Xiaohua turned around and walked forward on the slush road step by step. In the distance, it was snowy, and it seemed like there was no end. But she felt that she was not too scared and no longer sad.

She still has a master. Master is the best person in the world.

In the Seven Princes' Mansion.

The Seventh Prince sat cross-legged on the brocade mattress, playing with some dazzling gold jewelry in the box, shaking his feet, scratching his neck, and beckoning to the subordinate with his eyes and head down with a wicked smile, "You come here." Your Highness is chatting with you. ”
