55. Round round in ancient times
When the catkins are charming, Tangyuan Yuan got on the boat with great difficulty, and after a bumpy road, he got off the boat in the prosperous Yangzhou, and was full of spirit.
There was a beautiful girl next to her who was held by a vote of people and vomited unconscious.
Tang Yuanyuan followed the bustling crowd to get off the boat, walked to the vicinity of the big willow tree, and was about to go over to ask, when he was stopped by someone after walking two steps, the other party flashed his blade and shook it in front of her eyes: "What kind of person?" β
Tang Yuanyuan raised the kettle in his hand, looked at the woman who had been retching with concern, and said, "She seems to be very uncomfortable, I have some water here, and it is difficult to get water after floating on the boat for so long......"
The man with the blade replied, "You don't care about this kind of thing, let's go back and get water for the young lady to drink, and we don't need you to talk about this!" β
The woman who was being helped stood up, her face was pale, her eyebrows and eyes were bright but not abrupt, and at this moment she turned her face and stretched out her hand to Tang Yuanyuan: "Water." β
Tang Yuanyuan hurriedly handed it over.
The woman wiped her mouth, poured a little air into it, and handed it back to Tang Yuanyuan: "Thank you." β
This woman is not very old, wearing a smart black dress, the cuffs are tightly tied, the waist is slender but not weak, where to stand there is a feeling of heroic posture, Tang Yuanyuan just looked at her with a kettle, thinking that if she laughed, wouldn't all the stars in the sky fall into her eyes.
At this time, a woman in a fancy dress walked by her, with a light powder on her face, which was a bit pretentious compared to the woman's naturalness.
The woman who came after her frowned: "Jinyi, why do you dare to stuff anything in your mouth when anyone gives you?" What if it's poisonous! β
After that, he turned his eyes to look at Tang Yuanyuan, and saw that it was a little girl wearing coarse cloth clothes who looked ordinary and even a little stupid, and he was even more unhappy: "Who are you?" β
Tang Yuanyuan saw that they were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the jade pendant on their waists was worth a lot of money, which was a world of difference compared to their own class, so he had to smirk: "I...... It's just an ordinary person......"
The woman in fancy clothes frowned and looked at her, and said, "I can't worryβ"
At this time, the woman named Jinyi suddenly spoke, although her voice was cold, but it sounded very good in Tang Yuanyuan: "Second sister, where did I come from such a big ability to let people harm me, the second sister looks up to me too much." β
After that, he actually smiled at Tang Yuanyuan: "Thank you, little girl." My second sister didn't mean it, don't be angry with her, okay? β
The voice is gentle, almost like coaxing a child.
Tang Yuanyuan said: "I'm not angry, but you are so careful, you must be the eldest lady of a big family......"
The woman in the fancy dress saw that although the girl was stunned for a while, her mind was pure, and her face was a little unbearable, and she ordered the people around her: "Reward her with some money and send her away." β
Tang Yuanyuan was stunned, and quickly shirked it: "I don't want money, and I just drank a few sips of water, and I'm ...... too."
The woman in the gorgeous costume has gorgeous eyebrows and eyes, almost sharp beauty, and said at this moment: "My Xia family never owes others anything, people often say that the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated, you give these few drops of water, and the brocade clothes drink it, that is owed to you, you take the money and leave, so that everyone is at ease!" β
Xia Jinyi, who was dressed in black, was arranging her sleeves, her cuffs were tightly tied by the belt of gold silk embroidery, her wrists seemed slender, but she was not weak, at this moment she was a little sick due to seasickness, and her voice was a lot softer: "Second sister, don't be strong." β
The woman in the costume snorted: "I owe a favor again." β
Tang Yuanyuan has been stunned from the beginning to the present.
Don't you just drink saliva, as far as you go!
Xia Jinyi took two steps forward, put her hand on Tang Yuanyuan's shoulder, leaned over and smiled: "I owe the girl the grace of dripping water, if the girl has any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, my surname is Xia, my name is Jinyi, Yangzhou Xia-"
The woman in the gorgeous costume said: "Just remember the name, don't let him know too much!" β
Xia Jinyi said: "In short, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time." β
Tang Yuanyuan has been in tears since the moment she leaned down: Is she so short! Is she that short! Is she that short!
Tang Yuanyuan had no choice but to nod, his heart full of grievances.
Forget it, people who practice martial arts, even if the girl's parents are a little taller, it's normal.
That's right, it's all because she's too tall, and it has nothing to do with how short she looks.
Seeing Tang Yuanyuan holding the kettle and turning away, the woman in the gorgeous dress stepped forward and stood side by side with Xia Jinyi, who was dressed in chic gold-striped black, with the corners of her mouth pursed, and said, "I really like your seasickness." β
Xia Jinyi raised his eyebrows: "What?" β
The woman hugged her shoulders and smiled at the corners of her mouth: "Once you are sick, the whole person is much gentle, and your face is not so stinky......"
Xia Jinyi said lightly: "Oh." β
The woman glanced at her and shrugged, "As soon as I finished speaking, I changed back to this virtue." If you usually smile more, those sons and daughters of Yangzhou families won't be so afraid of you, right? Save yourself from being able to get married......"
As she was talking, she suddenly saw Xia Jinyi looking at her with slanted eyes, and there was a little gloom in her eyes, and she couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?" β
Xia Jinyi said: "I'm wondering if I should throw you down the Yangzhou River." β
So he turned around and left.
The woman in the Chinese costume was so angry that she stomped her feet, picked up the corners of her skirt and followed, and said angrily: "Little cub with no conscience, you have vomited since you got on the boat until now, but my sister has taken care of you all the way!" β
2.
Tang Yuanyuan got off the boat, left the dock, and began to inquire about the location of the Xia family in Yangzhou.
The streets of Yangzhou are prosperous, the business is very developed, it can be said that there are many people, walking on the street rubbing shoulders, and all kinds of people pass by.
Tang Yuanyuan began to inquire about the location of the Xia family in Yangzhou, originally thinking that such a big family in the martial arts, as long as he asked, he would definitely be able to find it soon, but everyone who was asked by Tang Yuanyuan was frightened, and they dodged away, and then walked away and pointed at Tang Yuanyuan's back and whispered.
Soon some people on the street knew that she was looking for the Xia family in Yangzhou, and many people walked around and signaled with their eyes.
Tang Yuanyuan is very embarrassed, is there anything bad about this Xia family?
Or is Yangzhou Xiajia a heinous place? The people in here have been oppressing the common people? Doing a lot of bad things?
Tang Yuanyuan was looked at with strange eyes and felt very uncomfortable, so he had to find a place to rest.
She felt in her pocket and found that the money given by the master was not much, so the big hotel must not be able to afford to live, so she had to go to the street to find a small shop to settle in.
She walked into an inn, asked for the price, asked for a room, and was about to pay the bill.
Tang Yuanyuan touched his pocket in front of the shopkeeper for a long time, and found that the pocket was empty, and there was not a penny left.
Tang Yuanyuan was dumbfounded and hurriedly rummaged in his bag.
The fat shopkeeper said, "Little girl, the money has been stolen?" This Yangzhou is a port where people come and go, and there are many thieves. β
Tang Yuanyuan rummaged through his body and didn't find a penny, but fortunately, the letter from the master was still in his pocket, and he was about to cry in a hurry.
The shopkeeper stood there and said, "You little girl, I shouldn't have watched you sleep on the streets, but if I let you stay in the hotel for free, what will I do with my business?" β
Tang Yuanyuan hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I won't trouble you." β
The shopkeeper said: "It's not good for you to sleep on the streets, this place with many people, all three religions and nine streams come and go, if you meet any bad people, it is not good, in this way, you go up the mountain road, there is a nunnery on the top of the mountain, go there to spend the night." β
Tang Yuanyuan was very grateful for the guidance of someone, and immediately said: "Thank you shopkeeper!" β
The fat shopkeeper nodded and continued to look at his ledger.
Tang Yuanyuan went out of the inn, looking for the way up the mountain, and walked happily to the mountain along the way, thinking that there are still many good people in this world, and his heart was full of kindness, and he happily went up the mountain.
