Chapter Ninety-Eight: Finally Escaped from the General's Mansion

Mo Xingyao looked at the big and round moon in the sky, and remembered that his mother told him that he was born when the moon was the largest and roundest that day, but even if he was born that day, what about it? He thought with some sadness in his heart, maybe he has not been a powerful child in his father's mind, but he has obviously worked hard, but he still failed like this, and he really seems to have no talent for archery and homework, hey, if so, he might as well be a child of an ordinary family, so that he can go out to play, and he can eat a lot of delicious food every day, and there are many playmates, and he doesn't have to learn archery and memorize homework, how good!

He secretly looked at the maid standing vigil at the door in the distance, the maid was dozing, although he was carrying a lantern in his hand, but his eyes couldn't open at all, his head drooped, and he straightened up, and he drooped down, and straightened up, and over and over again, too, it was the middle of the night now, and everyone was sleepy, Mo Xingyao remembered that his father was so strict with him, and he remembered that his mother was so strict with him now, and an idea suddenly flashed out of his mind, perhaps, he could escape and escape from this cage-like general's mansion.

But how do you get out? There are soldiers guarding the entrance of the general's mansion, and he will definitely not be able to get out, this is from the Zhiqiu Courtyard all the way to the front yard, and there are many soldiers guarding the way, that must not work, can he escape from this Zhiqiu Courtyard, he suddenly remembered to play in the playground in the backyard today, Sister Yan'er and Sister Huan'er looked at a hole under the high wall and chattered there, and the two of them also said when there was a dog hole here, the dog hole was quite large, covered by grass, if he hadn't kicked the rattan ball there, Sister Yan'er picked up the ball for him and found this dog hole, it is really difficult to find it on weekdays, Sister Yan'er and Sister Yan'er also said that they would ask Wenchen to repair it tomorrow, and they also squatted down and looked at the dog hole carefully, it is indeed quite big.

He knew that the high wall of the playground in the backyard was outside Chang'an Street, he used to climb the big tree in the backyard, climbed to the very high branches, and saw the street outside at a glance, and he could climb out through the dog hole tonight, and he remembered that his father and mother were strict with him during the day, and his heart was crossed, I will escape today, tomorrow my father will definitely be at home, if he is at home, he will definitely hit his palm, he will go out to play for a few days first, and then come back, so that he will not have to be trained, and he can go to Chang'an City to buy some delicious food, It's just that he doesn't have silver on his body, where is the silver, he saw Qinglong buy things on Chang'an Street today, and he had to give silver to those hawkers, and the hawkers gave things to Qinglong.

He thought about it carefully, gently walked to his mother's dresser, opened the jewelry box of the dresser, secretly took a few hairpins, a few steps and some earrings, and some jade bracelets, found his big cloak to wrap these jewelry, and tied the big cloak to his body, seeing that the maid guarding the door couldn't stay up, and was squinting his eyes to sleep, he looked back at his father and mother, my father would not sleep so deeply on weekdays, maybe he was tired in recent days, Fortunately, the bamboo window was not leaning against the doorway, but towards his playground in the backyard.

He gently pushed open the bamboo window, turned over and went out of the house, he gently closed the bamboo window again, and tiptoed to the dog hole, fortunately the dog hole was not repaired, he looked back at his amusement park, but it was really a little reluctant, but he looked at the house again, remembering that tomorrow if he accidentally provoked his father, he would definitely be punished, the beating hand was very painful, he didn't think about it, his heart was horizontal, he pushed aside the grass, and drilled out to the dog hole, fortunately, the dog hole was quite big, he just happened to be able to drill out, The door outside the high wall of Zhiqiu Courtyard is some distance from the beast's head gate, Mo Xingyao crawled out of the dog hole, patted the dust on his body again, looked at the huge Chang'an street, and was in a very happy mood, what should he do now, of course he was looking for a place to sleep.

Although it is late at night on the streets of Chang'an, some inns are still starlight, most of the shops are closed, Mo Xingyao walked along the street, and never saw the inn that opened the door, too, it was the middle of the night, and the accommodation had already slept, so he walked to the path, kept walking, and when he thought he was going to stay on the street, he suddenly looked up and saw an inn with the door open, and the shopkeeper was dozing off in front of the counter, he was overjoyed and hurriedly walked over.

Mo Xingyao looked up at the four words of Fu Inn, knowing that this was a place where he could sleep, he walked in, and the shopkeeper Anxi heard the footsteps, and hurriedly stood up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and saw that it was a child, he thought he was dreaming, and rubbed his eyes, it was really a child, Mo Xingyao saw that the shopkeeper looked at him with wide eyes, and hurriedly said, "I want to sleep." ”

The shopkeeper An Xi saw that there was no adult following outside the door, thinking if it would be a child who was separated from the adult, he walked out of the counter and squatted down and said, "Child, what about your father and mother, why are you alone!" You are so young, according to the regulations, you can't live alone in the hotel, hurry up and go home, where is your home, do you want me to ask someone to help bring you back. "Anyone who can open a shop on Chang'an Street knows that the guests who come here are generally people who are either rich or noble, and seeing that this child is gorgeously dressed, he must also be a child of a high-ranking official's family.

"Don't worry about my father and mother, my father and mother told me to come and pick me up early tomorrow morning, you just said don't let me sleep, I'm so sleepy after walking for so long!" Mo Xingyao sat on the chair by the counter, seeing that the shopkeeper said so much, he didn't reply to the letter, and said that he would send him back to the General's Mansion, he couldn't help but be a little angry, he pouted and rubbed his sore calves.

The shopkeeper Er'an looked at the night outside, it was already the middle of the night, presumably it was not easy to find the child's mansion now, forget it, or let the child stay here for a night, and wait for tomorrow morning to explain the situation with the shopkeeper, see what the shopkeeper said, the last time a county order of the child also secretly ran out in the middle of the night, ran to their inn, he took it in, the next day the county order's family came to find the child, to the shopkeeper sent a large sum of silver, the shopkeeper also gave him a broken silver, worth his months of money, He saw that the clothes that this child was wearing today were more gorgeous than those worn by the child of the county order last time, presumably the child's parents were higher officials than the county order, and they took in this child.

The shopkeeper An Xi looked at Mo Xingyao, who had been yawning, and said, "Child, come with me, count your luck, there is still a small room left, which is just right for you as a child." ”

Mo Xingyao followed the shopkeeper up to the second floor, and the shopkeeper pushed open the guest room, and instructed uneasily, "Child, you rest early, and I will take you back to the mansion early tomorrow morning." Mo Xingyao pretended to nod, the shopkeeper gently closed the door, Mo Xingyao looked around, why is it so simple, and his general's house is simply incomparable, but some sleep very well, it's really strange, just now the shopkeeper didn't ask him for silver, so he gave him a room to sleep in, it's good, he slept on the hard bed, walked for a long time to find this shop, he was very tired, he took off the jewelry cloak tied to his body, hugged him in his arms, and covered himself with the quilt, Fall asleep sweetly, and tomorrow you can go to the street to eat rock sugar gourds and drink sour plum soup.

Mo Xingyao slept until dawn, he was woken up by the noise outside the house, he rubbed his eyes, called his mother, seeing that there was no response, he opened his eyes wide, looked around carefully, it turned out that he had escaped from the general's mansion, he thought he was dreaming, he took out his mother's jewelry from the wrapped cloak, and carefully put it in the pocket of his short jacket.

When he was bored in the General's Mansion, he would also pester Sister Yan'er to tell him about the outside world, Sister Yan'er told him about the inn once, Sister Yan'er said that there were good people and bad people in the inn, but the silver on his body could not be exposed, so he hid all the jewelry, and put the big cloak wrapped in jewelry on himself, and then went downstairs, and saw that many adults were sitting there for breakfast, he had never seen these all kinds of adults, some wearing splendid clothes, some wearing gauze hats, Some have beards, while others are white-faced scholars.

The shopkeeper saw that the child woke up last night and walked down, and hurriedly said, "Little guest officer, you are awake, the shopkeeper has not yet arrived, and when the shopkeeper arrives, I will explain your situation to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper will naturally send someone to send you back to the mansion, don't worry, sit down and eat some breakfast first." Mo Xingyao could only nod, tossing all night, his stomach was also hungry, he looked left and right like a little adult, and finally chose a window position to sit down.

The shopkeeper hurriedly brought fritters, sesame cakes and rice porridge, Mo Xingyao looked at the fritters, he had never eaten them before, he picked them up and took a bite, it was delicious, after a while, he ate all the breakfast on the table, and the shopkeeper was busy serving breakfast to other guest officers, while staring at Mo Xingyao, he was relieved to see him obediently eating breakfast there.

After a while, Zhu Laifu, the shopkeeper of the Rifle Inn, arrived at the inn, and the shopkeeper saw that the shopkeeper was coming, and immediately stepped forward and reported to the shopkeeper Zhu about the child last night, Zhu Laifu carefully looked at Mo Xingyao who was sitting by the window, and saw that the child had delicate skin, pink carving, and looked at the clothes he was wearing, this is definitely not an ordinary child, look at the fabric, it must not be the child of an ordinary official, it must be the child of a court official, this time he can make a fortune again, thinking about him, he rubbed his hands, The fat on his face was smiling together.
