Chapter 32: The Tears of Our Lady (2)

When Angel walked into a dilapidated alley, there were many beggars and beggars on both sides of the alley, all of them wearing tattered clothes, and their bodies were so foul that even Mundan covered his mouth with his sleeves. Angel looked at the miserable scene, she touched her body, and found that she didn't even bring a child, she touched the jade pendant on her chest and thought, "Father, daughter is not filial." With that, she exited the alley and walked forward.

Meng Dan followed closely behind, not understanding what Angel was going to do, until she entered the alley she found that Angel wanted to be the piece of jade she was holding in her hand, she was anxious, and stepped forward to persuade her, "Ran, this piece of jade was given to you by your father when you were full moon, it is your amulet, you can't be it." ”

"The amulet is the one that keeps the peace, and I give the gospel to others now, and I will redeem it in the future. After speaking, she handed the jade pendant in her hand to the owner of the pawnshop, "Boss, help me see how much this jade can be worth?"

The boss heard Angel's conversation with Meng Dan, so he bowed down to take the jade pendant, he looked at it for a long time and replied, "Girl, this jade pendant is a priceless treasure, I'm afraid I can't afford this little shop!" As he spoke, he put the jade pendant back into Angel's hand.

"You keep the jade for me, I will redeem it, you look at the silver, of course, the more the better. Angel said and pushed the jade pendant back again.

"Since the girl said so, then I will follow you. After saying that, he put a bag full of silver into Angel's hand, and Angel said, "Thank you." So he went out of the pawnshop, went into the alley, and distributed the money in the money bag to everyone in the alley, who was like a wolf who had been hungry for a long time, and even the scum of the money bag that could not be snatched in the blink of an eye.

Angel shook her head in disappointment, turned and walked away, and after walking for a while, she found a hungry woman on the side of the road, and a boy who looked to be about nine years old was sitting next to her, with messy hair, patched clothes all over his body, mud and dust all over his body, and she could smell a sour smell when she passed by. The boy's clothes were already in tatters, his face was so dirty that it seemed like it hadn't been wet for days, and his hungry expression tugged at Angel's heart.

Angel wanted to pass by, but she couldn't stand it, and the money on her body had already been distributed, so she had to turn back to Meng Dan to ask for it. Reluctantly, Meng Dan took out two pieces of silver, which she put into the woman's hand and said, "This amount of silver is enough for you to buy a room, and it is better to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests with your children, and stop sleeping on the streets." ”

"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss. The woman hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and she called the boy to kneel, "Son, thank you for this sister." The boy also knelt down and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, sister, I will definitely repay you when I grow up." ”

Angel picked up the woman and the child on the ground, smiled unconsciously, and said to the boy, "When you grow up, you must be a good person, be a useful person, and protect your mother well, you know?"

"Got it, thank you, sister. As the boy nodded, a man in his thirties rushed over, smelling of wine and holding a jug of wine in his hand, snatched the silver from the woman's hand and turned away.

"Who are you, how are you robbing money!" Angel blocked his way, and the woman pulled the child into her arms, her eyes lowered, not daring to look at the person in front of her.

"It's only right to take my wife's money. The man let go of Angel's hand and shouted, "You really care about ......." Before he finished speaking, he glanced at Angel, and saw that the beautiful woman in front of him was so good-looking, so he became teased, put one hand on Angel's shoulder and said, "Which young lady is this? ”

"Let go of your stinky hands. Angel was just about to speak, a low boy also sounded behind her, a sword was already pointed at the man's neck, she looked back, it was Bei Liang, and there was another person next to her, Princess Lan Yuting, and six followers.

When the man saw that there were officers and soldiers in front of him, he immediately let go of his hand, and suddenly lost all his strength, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "The official spares his life, I didn't mean to, the official spares his life." ”

"Gong ....... Angel was just about to shout the word "princess", but Lan Yuting immediately made a shushing gesture, signaling not to let her shout.

"Princess, do you want to kill him?" Bei Liang asked Lan Yuting as he continued to stand his sword on the man's neck.

"Miss. Angel didn't shout the two words, but was shouted out by Bei Liang, Lan Yuting was so angry that she blew her beard at Bei Liang, and Angel hurriedly persuaded, "Lieutenant Bei Liang, leave him alive and pull this person to the army, right?"

Bei Liang put away the sword at this time, "Duo Yan clan mention, pull it on the battlefield, maybe you can block two swords!" After speaking, he turned back and ordered his entourage, "Bring it down for me." ”

"Thank you for the grace of the official not to kill, thank you to the princess for the grace of killing, and thank you for the grace of the Yan clan for not killing. The man glanced at Angel in fear, but he didn't expect that he had been amorous all his life, but he had flirted with a high-ranking man, which could be said to be really back home.

At the moment when the man was picked up by the attendant, Mundan snatched the silver from the man's hand. Angel took the silver from Montaine's hand again, put it back in the woman's hand, and said, "Take the silver and go away, remember my words, and live well." ”

The woman nodded, "Thank you, Miss." Thank you. With that, she picked up the child and walked away, her back looking so thin and short.

Seeing the woman walking away, Bei Liang clasped his hands and said to Angel, "Yan's, it's better for you to come out less in the future, there are too many fritters on this street, you should be careful and say goodbye." With that, he turned and walked away with his attendant and the man.

Angel frowned in frustration, pursed the corners of her mouth slyly, and then went to see Lan Yuting, and then turned sideways and said, "Why is the princess here?"

"I saw you out of the city, I was afraid that you would be bullied by someone who was unfamiliar with your life, fortunately we came, otherwise I wouldn't know what it would be like to be bullied!" Lan Yuting smiled coquettishly, and said in a half-hidden and half-revealing tone.

"Does the princess care about me?" Angel guessed with a slanted look

"Of course, what else?" Lan Yuting pretended to be calm and chopped back and forth.

"Then thank you princess for the rescue she just had, shall we go back to the city?" called Angel.

"Don't ....... Lan Yuting stopped, "It's still early, I'll take you somewhere." With that, she pulled Angel and walked forward.

"Where are we going? Angel didn't react, she was pulled out by Lan Yuting for a long distance, Meng Dan had to follow as fast as she could, but Lan Yuting stopped and said to Angel, "Just the two of me, no one is allowed to follow." ”

Angel was surprised at first, and seeing that Lan Yuting had not been bad-hearted all along, she agreed, and said to Meng Dan behind her, "You go back first, I will go back soon." ”

"Okay, Ran. With that, Montan disappeared into the crowd.

Lan Yuting dragged Angel into a teahouse of less than 100 square meters, with an attic on top, and the setting sun shrouded the house in a warm and charming orange world. It was filled with all kinds of people, most of whom came for tea or chatting. In this chaotic world, there is still such a quiet place, and it is in this bloody royal court, which is really unexpected.

The whole teahouse is set up with partitions, the roof is filled with bright pink as decorations, and each wooden board in the attic is bound with a curtain of crystal-like pearls, which will drive the crystals to sway and make a small sound of collision in the wind blowing in the door, adding a fragrance full of light wine and fruit hot tea to this teahouse.

"This teahouse was opened by the nephew of King Guishan, and it is said to be a teahouse, but you can still drink alcohol on the second floor!" Lan Yuting introduced, "It's very safe here, even if you get drunk, someone will be responsible for sending you back to the royal court safely." ”

As Lan Yuting spoke, the young man who was shuttling between the tables and delivering tea came to greet her, "Princess, the tea room you want is on the second floor, please go upstairs." All the people here knew the princess, and they all made way for them, and bowed their foreheads respectfully.

"The second floor is a place to drink, do you want to drink?" asked Angel in surprise.

"Tea and wine are the perfect match, come with me. Lan Yuting took Angel's hand and went up to the second floor again.

There was a pot of tea boiling in the stove in the tea room, and thick smoke was waving from the spout of the teapot in the room, and the faint fragrance of tea rushed in, Lan Yuting picked a chair and sat down, and Angel naturally sat opposite her.

"I wanted a pot of heated wine, a plate of corned beef and fried peanuts, and a plate of freshly baked cheese, and two cups of sea buckthorn berries at the end. Lan Yuting instructed the young man.

"Okay princess, I'll go and prepare it for you. With that, he withdrew.

After the teenager withdrew, Lan Yuting continued, "The sea buckthorn berries are sour, and the wine is very strong, and eating the two together will not only help warm the stomach, but also play a decanting role." As for this tea, you have to keep drinking it so that the alcohol does not leave the body behind, otherwise you will quickly get drunk here, even if you pour more sea buckthorn berries, it will be useless. ”

"It seems that the princess often comes here, and you know a lot about the culture here?"

"Of course. Lan Yuting said confidently, "Brother Xue and I often come here, the first time I came here when I was six years old, I already liked the smell of sea buckthorn berries here, I drank a pot of wine that day, two glasses of sea buckthorn berries, and I slept for three days before waking up after being sent back to the royal court by Brother Xuenuo, Brother Xueno is like no one, provided that he drank a lot of tea, twice as many sea buckthorn berries as I ate." ”

Angel nodded, and the young man brought all the food he ordered, put it on the table, and said, "Princess, please use it slowly." And he withdrew.
