Chapter 47: The Beggar
Yu Lingxi's eyes widened in horror, looking at this pretty man who kissed her, her face turned red, and her heart jumped with it.
Oh my God, it's going so fast, isn't it? This is the second time we have met, why did we kiss?
There was a mess in my head.
Chu Xuanjing originally planned to cover her mouth with her hand, but just now she was pressed by the shopkeeper, her center of gravity was unstable, and she directly bumped into Yu Lingxi, so coincidentally, she kissed her like this.
Her lips were soft and moist, and her body exuded the smell of her daughter's home, which was a completely different taste from Yu Ling, and he was a little throbbing.
The shopkeeper chased them for a long time but didn't catch anyone, so they had to go back dejectedly, and the two of them were completely relieved to see them completely out of the alley.
Lifting the bamboo basket, Chu Xuanjing exhaled a long breath, he moved his stiff body, and when he turned around, Yu Lingxi was squatting there holding the bamboo basket, motionless.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Feet, feet are numb......" Yu Lingxi blushed and lowered his head, he really didn't have a face to see people!
A white hand stretched out in front of her, Yu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and looked up with her hand, Chu Xuanjing was looking at her.
"Give me your hand."
Yu Lingxi was embarrassed to hold his hand again, awkwardly, he wanted to stand up, but his legs were numb and unconscious, and as soon as he wanted to get up, he fell into front of him, fortunately, Chu Xuanjing's eyes were quick and he caught her, so as to avoid falling and gnawing on the mud.
"Thank you......" caught me again.
"Ahem...... It's me who should thank you. ”
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Yu Lingxi stood there at a loss, Chu Xuanjing thought of the accident just now, he coughed twice, "Just now...... I didn't mean to...... Don't take it personally......"
She nodded, "Oh. ”
Embarrassing embarrassment, in addition to embarrassment, it is still embarrassing.
Chu Xuanjing thought to himself: Should I find some topic?
Yu Lingxi thought to herself: Why didn't he speak?
The two of them thought at the same time: Forget it, I'll talk about it first!
"You ......"
"You ......"
Well, if you don't speak, you don't speak, and you talk about it at the same time, do you want to be so tacit at the beginning?
The two were stunned again.
"You speak first!"
"You speak first!"
Belch......
It was the first time that there was such a tacit understanding, and the two laughed together.
Yu Lingxi scratched his cheeks embarrassedly, "Young Master Lin, how much have you eaten?" Let the shopkeeper chase after you? "I just ran away, and I didn't have time to answer the questions I asked.
Chu Xuanjing thought for a while, "A pot of flower carvings, ginseng chicken, eight treasure ducks, Buddha jumping over the wall......"
After Yu Lingxi heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, he ordered a full ten dishes by himself, and they were all the signature dishes of that store, no wonder the shopkeeper said that her little broken silver was not enough for even a pot of wine.
"Oh my God!"
"What's wrong?" Chu Xuanjing saw Yu Lingxi covering his mouth, looking at him with a surprised expression, feeling a little inexplicable.
"What's wrong? Do you eat so much alone? Have you eaten it? ”
"More than ten dishes? I usually have more than 20 dishes for breakfast, what are these dishes? "Chu Xuanjing is depressed, it's enough to be few, and ten dishes are too much?
Yu Lingxi shook his head, "Lin Gongzi, do you know, these dishes you eat are enough for an ordinary family to eat for a year!" ”
"A family eats for a year?"
"Yes, how much silver are there in these dishes?"
Chu Xuanjing thought for a while, "Hmm...... Forty taels of it. ”
Yu Lingxi smiled, "You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, a steamed bun, as long as two copper plates, two copper plates can fill your stomach, ordinary people, where can you afford to eat a year's rations in one meal?" Also, some people can't even eat a steamed bun......"
Chu Xuanjing thought to himself, who can't even eat a steamed bun? The Northern Zhou Dynasty is rich in land and abundant products, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't be?
"Who?" He didn't want to ask, but as a result, the words still blurted out involuntarily.
"Follow me!" Yu Lingxi was speechless, and shook his head helplessly, this kind of rich boy doesn't know what poverty is, so it's good to take him to see it.
Chu Xuanjing nodded, followed her around, and came to a remote and dilapidated courtyard, where there was a strange smell, which made him can't help but want to cover his nose.
Further inside, a few ragged and dirty children were squatting in the yard to play.
"Beggars?"
"Well, the older children go out to beg, and the younger ones stay in the yard." She explained in a whisper.
Seeing Yu Lingxi coming, those children who were squatting and playing immediately threw away the stones in their hands and ran towards her, "Sister, sister!" ”
The children surrounded her, jumping and jumping happily, Chu Xuanjing didn't know why, and looked at Yu Lingxi, who was entangled by a group of dirty children.
"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss." The group of children immediately quieted down, "Sister asked you, have you learned to be good today?" ”
A little girl with messy hair raised her hand, "I have learned to be good!" ”
"Well, well-behaved children have steamed buns to eat!" She took out a steamed bun from the bamboo basket and handed it to her, and the other children saw it and rushed to it.
"Sister, we are all very well-behaved!"
"Sister, we have to learn to write!"
Yu Lingxi lifted the cover cloth covering the steamed buns, and the children scrambled to grab it, and it didn't take long for only one steamed bun left in the basket.
"Huh? How is there only one left? She looked up and counted the number of people, as if there was one person missing.
"Girl, where did Xiao Wu go?"
The little girl said while eating: "Xiao Wu said that he was going to get rich, and said that he would come back later." ”
"Huh? Rich? What to make a fortune? Yu Lingxi was confused.
"Sister, Xiao Wu is bad, he steals things!" The other child raised his hand in reply.
Chu Xuanjing remembered that after he was hit by a child on the street, immediately, the purse and jade pendant were gone, and the child must have stolen it!
"Let me ask you, is that kid in his teens, as high as my chest, isn't he?" Before Yu Lingxi could speak, he couldn't wait to ask.
"Yes, brother!"
"Wow, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, but let me find it!" He turned around, "Lingxi, my things, must have been stolen by this kid!" ”
Yu Lingxi looked very unhappy, she frowned, "Why did he learn badly and steal things......
"Sister, don't be angry with Xiao Wu, he said, he doesn't want to let his sister worry about it all day long, he also said that he is a man and can't rely on his sister to support him......" The child's milky voice, it seems, not much older than Lu'er, the way she pulled Yu Lingxi's hand was very cute.
"Don't be angry...... My sister is here waiting for him to come back, so let's go play first. ”
Children are children, I don't know what troubles are, watching them have fun, Yu Lingxi sighed.
Chu Xuanjing sat on the stone steps with her, he was curious, how did this pampered lady fight with a group of little beggars?
"Lingxi, how do you know this group of beggars so well?"
Yu Lingxi held his cheeks with both hands, and turned his head to look at him, "In order to relieve your worries and sorrows for today's majesty!" ”
"How?" Chu Xuanjing was puzzled.
"My father said, His Majesty is a good emperor, but he is stubborn and childish, but he is not ambiguous in dealing with state affairs, at present, although the country is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but the country is so big, it is inevitable that there will be places that cannot be taken into account, as a courtier, you have to share your worries and relieve your sorrows......" Yu Lingxi learned from Lao Yu to talk to her and shook her head, and said a lot, but she didn't know that the person in front of her was the emperor that her father said.
Chu Xuanjing was a little depressed, this old Yu, he couldn't get used to his actions on weekdays, and he didn't stop when he went home, he actually said in front of his daughter that he was stubborn, childish, and listened to his tone, and it really seemed to come from Lao Yu's mouth. xh:.74.240.212
