Chapter 18

It was difficult for Yang Xi to leave the palace, she didn't want to go home empty-handed, so she dragged the maple marks all over the street. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

She was looking at jewelry at a stall, these were cheap silver bracelets, and her wrists were slender and white, and the skin of her wrists was white in the light. Such a young girl, with a hat on her head, but the clothes are expensive, and sharp-eyed people have already seen that this kind of Su Jin on her body is a foot of gold in the south of the Yangtze River.

Maple Scar followed behind him, silently greeting the people in the shadows, separating those who approached with bad intentions.

Yang Xi took a fancy to a bracelet and played with it on her wrist for a while, and the owner of the goods saw that she was gorgeously dressed, either rich or expensive, and hurriedly boasted: "Miss has a good eye, this is a good silver, selling for ten taels of silver." ”

Yang Xi just liked it in his heart, and turned around and ordered Feng Zhen: "Pay." Maple Scar's eyes were sharp, and he knew that the bracelet was defective, but seeing that the princess was quite interested, he didn't poke it, but just gave a gesture to the shadows.

Lu Ji was wandering aimlessly, just walked to the stall, shook his head after listening to this conversation, the current little girl's family, dare to go out without the escort of the female dependent, and buy things is even more extravagant, and he doesn't even know that he has been deceived.

He picked up a bracelet casually: "Shopkeeper, your bracelet is rough in workmanship and dull in luster, and it is worth three taels at most." ”

These words were actually said to Yang Xi, but the owner of the goods changed his face, and he was about to drive people away, but he saw that Lu Ji was dressed luxuriously, unlike ordinary people, so he didn't say anything. "This son, this is what you don't know, is your own family a silver building? If you look at the workmanship, it's more than three or two. ”

There were some ill-intentioned people around him: "That's it, is it true that Childe also sells things?" ”

Workers, peasants and merchants are the livelihoods of the lower class.

After listening to this, Yang Xi glanced back at Lu Ji.

Lu Ji saw that Yang Xi looked at him silently, as if he didn't believe him, and was a little annoyed. But his good cultivation made him really unable to argue loudly, so he shook his head and planned to leave.

Silver money is not worth it in Yang Xi's eyes, she also grew up in the palace, and after using precious things for a long time, she naturally understands what is good and what is defective. But when she met a stranger who acted bravely, she was still very curious, so she looked back.

At this glance, she remembered the young man in front of her who was like Yushu Laneige.

Lu Ji, the grandson of the Lu family, the most promising son of the Lu family, elegant and knowledgeable, he has loved to appreciate books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings since he was a child. The emperor once got an ancient painting given by a minister, which he cherished very much, but in the end Lu Ji found that it was a forgery, and he tossed a minister into a "crime of bullying the king" and beheaded him.

Lu Ji became famous and was praised by the emperor as a "ghost hand".

He was fond of painting and calligraphy, especially self-portraits, and was very famous among the nobles, who had seen his portrait when she chose a horse.

What is surprising is that the most promising descendant of the Lu family at a young age was finally imprisoned for greedy ink, and Lu Fang resigned to save Lu Ji's life.

Yang Xi didn't expect to see Lu Ji in this situation, and it was hard to believe in his memory that such a meticulous and moving young man would finally cover up all his brilliance because of such a vulgar charge.

Yang Xi looked back at the vendor and raised the bracelet in his hand: "Your bracelet weighs no more than four taels, the heart of the bracelet is hollowed, the texture is rough, it is mixed with copper and iron, the son just now is already giving you face, and the price is only two taels, you really deceive me?" ”

The peddler choked, come on, both of them are masters. Feng Zhen had already stepped forward and dropped ten taels of silver: "Don't get out of here." Seeing that there was no good show to watch, the crowd laughed and dispersed.

Yang Xi turned around and wanted to leave, but Lu Ji stopped her, and her tone was a little earnest: "I know that I have been deceived, but I still connive, aren't you helping to abuse her like this?" ”

Yang Xi smiled secretly in his heart, sure enough, he was a descendant raised by Lu Xiang, the same old-fashioned and stubborn, and he had to fight for a clear understanding of right and wrong. How can such a person be reduced to self-depravity for the sake of money?

She hesitated, then made up her mind, and turned to look at him: "That peddler, the straw sandals on the soles of his feet are torn, and his fingernails are badly damaged, and he is a hard labor that has been doing hard labor all year round. But there was a pudding carefully sewn by a woman on his clothes, and in his basket were a few books, which were a thousand-character scripture read by children, indicating that he had a wife and children at home. ”

Yang Xi took a deep breath: "He may not be a good person, but he is smart and knows how to read eyes, he knows that I have money, and he also knows that I don't care about money." He doesn't have a great evil heart, he has a wife and children at home to support, why should we be aggressive, raise his hand, he knows that restraint, isn't everyone happy? ”

Lu Ji was shocked. He didn't expect that such a six- or seven-year-old girl would have such thoughts and insights.

Yang Xi looked at Lu Ji, who was a little stunned in front of him, and suddenly had the idea of being in the midst of a historical desolation to change a person's ending. She wanted to change him, he didn't deserve to be in that situation.

Ten years later, Lu Ji should assist Yang Yu like Yuan Lie, and finally become a generation of famous ministers, famous all over the world, and admired by the people of the world.

The river on the street is like a sea, the lights are bright, Yang Xi quietly looked at the petrified Lu Ji, and the voice seemed to come from a distant time and space:

"The people are suffering, and the world is all for profit, and the people are busy, but they are just seeking a way to live. There is no complete black and white distinction in this world, and there are no twists and turns in the dispute. ”

"The straight path you insist on may become someone else's dead end, have you ever thought about it?"

Lu Ji unconsciously took a step back, and his cold and elegant face gradually turned pale, as if someone had torn a rift.

It's as if the dark psychology in his heart has been opened up, and he has been spied on at a glance.

He hated the way of the world.

Money and power trading, black and white collusion. Some people are lazy and greedy, but they can live a prosperous and prosperous life, and they have no worries about food and clothing. There are people who have honey-bellied swords, but they can rise to the top step by step. Some people distort right and wrong, but some people high-five.

He can't get used to it, he is unwilling, but he is powerless to change.

But he never thought about what it would do for him.

His life is just to follow the footsteps of his ancestors and fathers, learn literary and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor's family.

He couldn't get used to it, he developed his paranoid mentality, he was angry and uncomfortable from time to time, and he never cared about what others thought of him.

That kind of mania is unwilling to be like an abyss, and one day it will swallow him.

Yang Xi saw that Lu Ji was shaken, and turned around to leave.

Lu Ji unconsciously reached out to grab the little girl in front of him, his shoulder suddenly hurt, he suddenly took a step back, and a young man in red was already separated between him and her.

Yes, it's not an ordinary woman, how can she go out unprotected.

Lu Ji had the heart to make friends, hurriedly stopped his own people, and made a gesture respectfully: "Is it abrupt, I don't know what to call the girl?" ”
