In the restaurant, General Weiyuan's wife pulled Tong Xue to sit opposite He Yongchan, "I always feel that the eldest princess of Yuanjiang will not give up." Why is she staring at you? But what did you do to sin against her? ”

He Yongchan pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"In addition to coming to Xishi to give free medical treatment to the poor who can't afford to see a doctor in these years, I have rarely shown up elsewhere, so I shouldn't have had a conflict with the eldest princess of Yuanjiang."

"Last time, you broke your thigh due to a startled horse, and you haven't found out who did it, could it be the hands and feet of Yuanjiang Changgong? Take advantage of your injuries and send someone to replace you in the name of bones? Wait a minute! General Weiyuan's wife seemed to think of something, stared at He Yongchan's injured thigh and said, "She didn't have a good mind, will that horse pawn also leave any back hand when she grafts your bones?" ”

He Yongchan smiled bitterly and nodded.

"The princess once said that the steel nails that were driven into the bones in my legs need to be taken out after a year, otherwise the steel nails will be integrated into the flesh and bones, and it will hurt to the bone, and life is better than death."

"What are steel nails?" Tong Xue couldn't help but ask.

He Yongchan shook her head, "It was the first time I heard of this thing that day. After I went back, I read all the medical books, but I didn't find a single record about it. ”

"Only the pawn can take this out?" General Weiyuan's wife furrowed her brows.

He Yongchan nodded.

"When the time comes, I will take you into the palace to greet the old man of the Queen Mother, oh, no, we will enter the palace tomorrow!"

General Weiyuan's wife is a fiery character, and once she makes up her mind, the eight cows can't be pulled back.

"There are many people in the palace, so Ah Jin won't go!" She turned her head again and told Tong Xue.

Tong Xue nodded.

In the evening evening, Tong Xue was sent back to the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion.

After a day of hard work, she changed to a small sedan chair in front of the house and walked all the way to the outside of the Hanmei Pavilion.

Tong Xue stepped off the sedan chair with the support of Cai Qing, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a gray and thin person running towards her.

Like a pug wagging its tail at its owner, he circled Tong Xue twice and grinned, "The girl is back!" This house is so big, I can't find you, I'm afraid! "How can there be half a point of indifference and loneliness when we first met.

Tong Xue still remembers that the first time he was a little beggar, he didn't even say a word.

In just a few dozen days of recuperation in the mansion, others are still silent, and I don't know if it is a habit developed in General Weiyuan's mansion that day, since he can get out of bed and walk around, he will definitely stand in a position where he can see Tong Xue, like a little heel.

also only talked to Tong Xue alone, and as they became familiar with each other, Tong Xue found that others were actually very noisy.

Tong Xue was a little uncomfortable in the first two days, and reprimanded him a few words, but he was fine, buried his head and was obediently reprimanded, and afterwards he went his own way, and he didn't change anything.

Tong Xue went out to do business today, and the little beggar volunteered to help her take care of the little starling, and when she returned home, she turned into a gray butterfly and flew around her.

"I'm going to the Rising Sun Hall to greet my mother, are you going too?" Tong Xue's eyes hurt from his shaking, and she said without saying anything.

The little beggar nodded again and again and hugged the little starling tightly in his arms.

"It's going to fly, don't hold it so tight!" Tong Xue took the starling from the little beggar and gently poked its nose with her fingers, the little starling lowered his head, pointed his little mouth, and obediently pecked at her palm.

Tong Xue couldn't help but have a gentle smile on her face, so she didn't take the little beggar to heart.

Tong Xue put the little starling on her shoulder and went to the main room to greet the Lu family.

The little beggar stood obediently under the eaves of the porch, and did not follow up.

He's a little bit of a look.

Tong Xue walked into the main room with the little starling, and the Lu family was busy asking about the West Market.

Tong Xue told the matter as it was, and after hearing this, Lu's expression became solemn.

"Your grandmother will take your Aunt He into the palace tomorrow?" Lu Shi held Tong Xue's hand and asked.

Tong Xue nodded, and seeing that Lu's face was pale and his expression was different, she couldn't help asking, "Mother, what's wrong?" Or is there something wrong with that? ”

Lu Shiqiang smiled and shook his head, "Your father has something to delay in the official office today, and when he comes back, I will discuss this matter with him." Let's go see your sister, and we'll have dinner together in a moment. ”

Tong Xue nodded, seeing Lu's stunned expression, she knew that she must have something on her mind, but she didn't want to explain it to herself.

Tong Xue walked to the side room, and Tong Shuang was still asleep on the bed.

Tong Xue stepped forward, held Tong Shuang's hand, stared at the pair of closed eyes, and promised in her heart: "Hold on for a few more days, soon, my sister assures you that you will wake up soon." ”

"Huh?" Suddenly, a small black head stretched out from the side, and let out a low cry of confusion.

"Why didn't you stay under the porch, why did you run in?"

Tong Xue saw the little beggar sticking out his head and leaning towards Tong Shuang, so she couldn't help but lift his collar and pull him away.

"You look weird, what if my second sister suddenly wakes up and is scared by you?"

Knowing that Tong Shuang wouldn't open her eyes suddenly, Tong Xue still couldn't help but say this.

"Oh? Is she asleep? The little beggar stared at a pair of good-looking eyes, looked at the sleeping Tong Shuang without blinking, and whispered, "She looks so good." ”

Tong Xue couldn't help laughing, such a little beggar with two terrible scars on his face and a crack on his forehead even knew beauty and ugliness.

She thought that his world was only full or unfed.

Does he know that his appearance is actually scary?

Seeing Tong Xue looking at him and smiling, the little beggar scratched his head embarrassedly, and said hesitantly: "This little sister is really good-looking, but in my eyes, you are the best-looking!" ”

After speaking, he lowered his head evasively, looking shy and awkward.

Tong Xue couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

This little beggar looked at the appearance of being at most one or two years older than Tong Shuang, and he didn't expect his mouth to be so sweet, and he almost thought he was a little mute before.

The two stayed in the room for a while, and Tong Xue went back to the main house to accompany the Lu family to dinner.

After dinner, because she looked at Lu's preoccupied look, Tong Xue took the girl to retire first.

The little beggar had dinner with the girl in the Rising Sun Hall in the side room, and was having a good meal, seeing that Tong Xue was about to leave so soon, he finished the rice in the bowl in three or two bites, and his little face was bulging, and he ran towards Tong Xue while chewing heavily.

Tong Xue looked at his funny appearance, and after all, she couldn't help but laugh.

The little beggar also smiled, and followed her with a naïve look.

After returning to the Hanmei Pavilion, Tong Xue bathed and changed clothes, sat on the head of the bed for a while, then blew out the lights and fell asleep.

It didn't take long for her to realize that she had sunk into a dream.

It was a dream unlike anything she'd ever had.

There was neither sound nor light in the dream, it was dark and silent, Tong Xue walked alone in the dark, stretching out her hands and groping around.

She opened her mouth to shout, but a voice in her head told her that she was in her dreams at the moment, and she could not make a sound.

She pursed her lips and didn't say a word.

I don't know how long she walked in the dark, she felt as if her legs were filled with lead, and she couldn't lift them anymore, and the whole person was only left with the strength to bend over and pant for breath.

"Sister, save me! Help me! Suddenly, there was a heart-rending cry in the darkness.

"Embroidery!" Tong Xue screamed and woke up from her dream suddenly.
