84, squeezed out of the ear
Originally, the crowd was moving in one direction, just to see the lanterns placed in front of them, but they didn't think that when they encountered water halfway, the crowd began to retreat in a hurry.
For a time, the entire street was crowded.
The screams and cries of the powerful in his ears made Xin Yi's feet trampled several times.
She couldn't help but change her face when she saw several of them falling to the ground.
If you fall in such a place, you will only be trampled and trampled to death by the crowd.
Xiao Yuanyou never let go of Xin Yi's hand, and seeing this, he pushed away the crowd and pulled Xin Yi into his arms.
He wrapped his arms around Xin Yi's waist tightly, his delicate body clinging to him.
"Don't be afraid." He said.
He wrapped his arms around Xin Yi hard, luck, and with a light tap of his toes, he crossed the crowd and stepped on a pillar on the side, and quickly led Xin Yi out of the crowd to the alley where they were just now.
In fact, the two of them were at the entrance of the alley just now, but they were suddenly pushed over with the flow of people.
Xin Yi was protected by Xiao Yuanyou, and she was not flustered at all, just like that attack on the street, she was also protected like this, and finally went home safely.
"Weiwei, it's a mess here, I'll send you back first." Xiao Yuanyou let go of Xin Yi, looked at the crowded crowd outside the alley, and the people who scattered and fled for their lives, and frowned.
In recent years, Dongyuan has been governed by His Majesty quite well, especially at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there has not been such an accident in Shangjing for many years.
He suddenly remembered a dossier he had read, the last time such an accident happened was twenty years ago.
It was outside the Chaotian Temple, and it was a great puja at the Chaotian Temple, because the incense ash accidentally touched the curtain, causing a fire.
It was precisely because of this accident that the host of the festival, Weiwei's master, Weiyun Zhenren, was punished and lost the position of the national teacher that should have belonged to her.
Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, the Great Fa meeting back then was an accident, but under Xiao Yuanyou's keen intuition, it wasn't.
But it's been a long time, and he can't do it even if he wants to check.
But today's accident ......
"Let's go, I'll send you back." Xiao Yuanyou touched Xin Yi's head, and led her to prepare to go down this alley towards another road.
Xin Yi paused, looked back, the crowd seemed to have eased, and she also heard a sharp whistle, thinking that it was the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division who were dispatched to maintain order.
Her heart was slightly relieved, and then she turned around and prepared to follow Xiao Yuanyou to the alley.
When he turned around, at the entrance of the alley, there was a child wearing a whip and a brocade coat who was crying, shouting 'Sister ......'.
Although the crowd has slowed down, the speed is still fast for children.
The child cried and screamed, looked around blankly, stumbled along the crowd, not very old, and his feet were not strong enough, and one of them fell to the ground.
Xin Yi's heart is about to jump out, and if he falls down at this time, adults will be trampled on either dead or injured.
Not to mention children!
"Fifth brother...... she exclaimed, and she moved, and Xiao Yuanyou on the side was faster than her, rushing over and picking up the child who fell to the ground.
Xin Yi saw that the child was rescued, and his heart that was about to jump out fell back into place.
Xiao Yuanyou held the child in his arms, watched it in the same place, and saw that no one came up to claim it, so he walked towards Xin Yi with him.
When he got closer, Xin Yi saw clearly the child in his arms, three or four years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and snow-white and delicate skin, because there were tears in the corners of his eyes, pitiful.
This kid seems to have an excellent temperament, obediently nestled in Xiao Yuanyou's arms, quietly looking at the two of them.
"Fifth brother, I don't know whose child it is, why did he get lost alone."
Looking at this pink-carved child, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and people couldn't wait to take something out to make him laugh, but there was really nothing suitable for touching her body, just now she only cared about eating delicious food, and she hadn't had time to buy fun things.
"Whose child are you? What about mom and dad? How did you get lost? Xin Yi shook the child's hand and asked him softly.
The child looked up at Xin Yi and said in a milky voice, "Bao'er followed her sister out, my sister bought things, and then Bao'er lost it." β
"And what's my sister's name?" Xin Yi asked again.
Knowing my sister's name, and then sending the child to the government, and letting the government notify the family to pick it up, it is also considered a complete merit.
The child looked at Xin Yi with bony eyes, "Sister is sister......"
Anyway, I just don't know my sister's name, and if I ask my father and mother, I don't know.
Xin Yi was a little unsure, she thought back to when she was three or four years old, but she was all over the mountains and wilderness, and when it was time, she went back to find Mama Qing to eat.
Master's name and her characteristics are only unclear about a few hairs on her body, but the others are clear.
Aren't the children of the world quite smart? Looking at the child's eyeballs and bones, it's not stupid.
"Kid, wouldn't you be happy to tell me who your family is?" She frightened the child, "If you don't tell me, then I'll treat you as a little beggar and sell you for candy." β
The child's dark eyes looked at Xin Yi brightly, "Can you give me a little ...... for the sugar you got in exchange?"
Xin Yi, "......"
Kid, do you know what it is to sell it for candy?
She was about to tease him, when someone suddenly shouted in a panic at the mouth of the alley, "Bao'er, Bao'er......"
The voice was almost crying.
Xin Yi poked the child's cheek, "Are you looking for me?" β
The people at the mouth of the alley are like ants on a hot pot, constantly turning in circles, and constantly calling 'Bao'er......"
The more Xin Yi looked at the man's back, the more familiar it became, and she couldn't help but leave Xiao Yuanyou and the child in his arms and walk towards the alley.
Sure enough, when he saw the girl clearly, Xin Yi was stunned.
It turned out to be the county lord of Kangping, oh, no, now that she has been taken away from the title of county lord, she can only be called Kangping.
"Bao'er ......" Xin Yi led Kang Ping to the alley in disbelief, pointed to the child in Xiao Yuanyou's arms, and saw Kang Ping rush over and hug the child.
Xin Yi shrugged, sure enough, it was a child from the British Palace.
Xiao Yuanyou and Xin Yi stood together, silently looking at Kang Ping, who was holding the child and crying bitterly.
It took a long time for Kang Ping to stop crying, looked up at the two of them, and was a little embarrassed, "Thank you for saving Bao'er." β
When Xin Yi told her at first, she didn't believe it, she just thought that Xin Yi wanted to take revenge on her because of the past.
When I saw the child in Xiao Yuanyou's arms, I believed it.
In fact, Xin Yi saw Kangping for the first time in half a year, and she was really startled at the first sight.
The original county lord of Kangping, as a favored royal county lord, was like an arrogant impatiens, full of picky, arrogant and proud.
Goodbye, it seems to have become a simple little cabbage, the eyebrows are smooth, the eyes are soft, and it is obvious that it has been cleaned up very comprehensively and thoroughly.
It seems to have grown from an ignorant child overnight.
After Kang Ping repeatedly thanked the two of them, they were a little speechless.
Xin Yi looked at Kang Ping's closeness and felt a sigh in his heart.
It is said that parents are the best husbands for children, and children are the shadows of parents.
I heard that Kang Ping grew up with the Queen Mother who died in the immortals, and she didn't have the appearance of a British royal couple.
She still remembered that the King of England had come to Xin's house as a deputy envoy and asked her to try to accept Kangping's words.
Speaking of which, she didn't hate Kang Ping very much, especially after meeting the fifth brother.
"Thank you for saving Bao'er, today I sincerely say to the seventh girl, 'I'm sorry', I used to be too proud, mean and didn't know it, I will definitely change it all in the future."
Kang Ping took Bao'er's hand and gave Xin Yi a deep gift,
"It was really bloody and tearful before, and I don't dare to ask you to forgive me, I just hope that you and Gorou will be able to live smoothly for the rest of their lives in the future."
Kang Ping's gift was too big, Xin Yi was still a little at a loss, she looked at Xiao Yuanyou on the side, and said,
"This ...... This ......"
Oops, it's hard to say.
Seeing that Xin Yi couldn't speak, Kang Ping smiled considerately and said,
"Tomorrow, my father and mother will definitely come to thank you, and then I will post to invite you to my father's birthday banquet in a few days, and we will play together at that time."
Xin Yi twitched the corners of his mouth and hurriedly said, "No need...... It's so grand, it's just a gesture, and the princess won't come to the door. β
"Moreover, I recently had to prepare for the women's official examination of the imperial court in March, and I didn't even go to the school, and we spread those things at the beginning, so what did I think was the revenge of the palace when the time came."
Kang Ping was embarrassed and wanted to laugh,
"Okay, but my father and mother will definitely come to the door, my mother already likes you, I can't wait to change me, if I know that you are my little brother, why would I come to the door."
The guards of the palace over there came over, and even the black-clothed guards who were originally following Xiao Yuanyou because the crowd was dispersed surrounded them.
The people on both sides said a few kind words and went their separate ways.
Xin Yi felt that he was well-informed (read from the book), and it didn't matter if he was reconciled or not.
However, now that it has been reconciled, there is a kind of free and easy meaning of 'laughing and grudging, and the rivers and lakes will pass'.
On the way back, the haze caused by the lanterns and water has also dissipated a lot.
"I didn't expect Kangping to change so much." Xin Yi sighed.
Xiao Yuanyou smiled, "People always have to grow up, and in the past, it was just that the British princess didn't be ruthless." β
A flash of inspiration flashed in Xin Yi's mind, and he suddenly said, "Fifth brother, do you think I've grown up?" β
To say that she really wouldn't reconcile with Kangping in the past, what kind of reconciliation is reconciliation, one meal is not enough, two fights.
Xiao Yuanyou looked at the girl's translucent white face in the faint light, and then his gaze didn't stop, and he didn't look away in a panic.
There was silence in the carriage, except for the sound of ruts rolling on the bluestone slabs outside.
"Of course you've grown up, too." Xiao Yuanyou's voice was soft.
Xin Yi pursed his mouth, a little unhappy, "Fifth brother, you have thought about it for so long before answering, it is obviously perfunctory." β
Originally, Xiao Yuanyou was still feeling guilty about some evil thoughts just now, but when he saw her expression, he couldn't help laughing, and raised his hand to rub her head.
"No, Weiwei has really grown up, and I think that several other great powers should be able to predict a good day recently."
Although Xiao Yuanyou has always been said to be the 'Pearl of Beijing', it is just that his appearance is too good.
But because he was always watched when he went out, Xiao Yuanyou could only keep a straight face all day long, in order to scare off those people, and in private, his colleagues gave him a nickname, 'Xiao owes money', as if others owed him thousands of dollars.
Even Xin Yi, who has known him for a long time, rarely sees him smile so happily.
Xin Yi didn't care about anything else for an instant, and exclaimed, "Fifth brother smiled and fell into the city......"
Xiao Yuanyou reprimanded with contempt, "Don't talk nonsense." The smile on his face never faded, and he felt his heart warm for no reason.
His laughter rang out of the car, and the black-clad guards outside looked at each other with joy.
It's been more than ten years since they came to the adult's side, and I've only heard the adult laugh like this twice.
And these two times have something to do with Miss Xin Qi, and several guards think in their hearts that the seventh girl is still capable.
Xin Yi was afraid of Xiao Yuanyou at first, but now he is not afraid at all, seeing him like this, he sat closer to him, wrapping his small hands with his big hands,
"Fifth brother, although the national teacher has hindered us today, Grandma will be with me in the future, and I am very happy."
"It would be even better if we could find Master."
Her soft hand was clenched into a fist and placed in his palm, the weight was very light, but it was hot, and the numb and itchy touch went from the palm to the bottom of his heart, and in an instant the whole body trembled and tensed.
Xiao Yuanyou clenched his hand and held Xin Yi's hand tightly, Xin Yi moved his thumb to scratch him, laughed crisply, and said quite proudly,
"When the time comes, when I pass the female officer examination, you have to call me 'Lord Xiao Xin'"
Xiao Yuanyou scratched the bridge of her upturned nose and joked, "Okay, be careful, my lord." β
Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, "Hey, this name is so strange, Lord Xiao Xin, be careful of your ......"
She suddenly reacted, what Xiao Yuanyou said just now must be 'be careful adults', she was a little embarrassed, snorted, and slapped him on the shoulder angrily.
Xiao Yuanyou didn't dodge, just smiled and let her thrash, and grabbed her hand a few times and put it to her lips, "Blow it for you."
The hot breath in his mouth tickled on Xin Yi's hand, which immediately made Xin Yi giggle and pull out his hand to block his mouth.
In the eyes of Xiao Yuanyou, she felt extraordinarily naughty and cute.
He couldn't help but give a kiss to her tender palm, and then pecked her laughing puff puff face very quickly, and then quickly sat up straight and sat upright.
Xin Yi's face turned red suddenly, she had read a lot of books, and she thought she was very sophisticated, but in fact, the real experience was only the last time she was in the back garden.
The bridge of the young man's handsome and towering nose was almost against her cheek, and unlike the breath that had just breathed in the palm of her hand, it was so thick and burning that it seemed to melt her.
She was as hot as a cooked shrimp that had just been fished out of the water, and she stammered a little, "This...... Lonely Men and Widows...... Forehead ......"
Speaking of which, Xin Yi quite liked the feeling of kissing last time, and since that time, he felt that he and Xiao Yuanyou were much closer, which was different from everyone's closeness.
Xiao Yuanyou couldn't help laughing again, "Silly." He took her hand in his palm and rubbed it.
If others commented on Xin Yi like this, she would definitely go back angrily.
But who is Xiao Yuanyou, she feels that what came out of her mouth is an undoubted fact.
Xin Yi grabbed his hand and put it on his head,
"So stupid, what are you still marrying me, I said to quit my family, but you are not allowed."
The fluffy feel was too good, Xiao Yuanyou rubbed the top of her head twice, and said seriously,
"Don't let it go, of course I can only accept you like this, and I must not let you harm others."
Xin Yi, "......"
Could it be that the fifth brother knows her thoughts? Don't you want him to be ruined by others? Can only let yourself be a scourge?
The small broken hair on the top of her head was curled up because of Xiao Yuanyou's movements, as if she was happy and proud.
Xiao Yuanyou looked at the thin figure and felt pity.
A big family like the Xin family is by no means the kind of family that casually lets the boudoir women out to play.
Since the Xin family agreed to her to take the female official exam and enter the office, it means that she is cultivated like a man.
Where is the man of the Jiangnan Xin family so easy to do? What's more, Xin Yi grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and the gap between him and the men who have been carefully cultivated since childhood in the Xin family is not more than a star and a half?
This silly girl, how does she know what kind of burden she has on her shoulders?
"Fifth brother, Master's whereabouts are unknown now, and I don't know her life and death, and there is darkness ahead." Xin Yi raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yuanyou and muttered.
"You think it's dark in front of you, it's not necessarily night." Xiao Yuanyou looked at her pitiful appearance and knew the status of Weiyun Zhenren in her heart.
"Weiwei, maybe you are the sun, if you yourself are blinded by the darkness and no longer shine, then it is the real night."
He comforted softly.
"Fifth brother, do you see that I'm still bright?" Xin Yi tilted his head.
Xiao Yuanyou, she always says something funny so seriously, so how can he let go of her like this?
"It's on." Of course it's on.
Xin Yi leaned on his shoulder next to him, and said reverently, "Fifth brother, thank you." β
The fifth brother is the round of golden crow, and the scorching golden light shines on her.
"I really wronged you if you married me." Xin Yi said softly.
Xiao Yuanyou squeezed her hand and disagreed, "Marriage matters, only whether you want to or not, no grievances or no grievances." β
Just as Xin Yi didn't know about the heavy responsibility that the Xin family placed on her shoulders.
Everyone said that the Xin family was forced by the emperor's proposal to marry Xin Yi to Xiao Yuanyou, and everyone said that Xiao Yuanyou was married, and many people felt that Xiao Yuanyou was not worthy of Xin Yi.
But this is not the case, she still has to be an official after marriage, and the Xin family will not make clothes for others in vain.
It is really difficult to say whether this marriage is a pro or a bad for Xiao Yuanyou.
Even if Xiao Yuanyou's reputation is not good, there are always people who don't believe it, in terms of his status in the emperor's heart, as well as his status in the court, and his own talent, is it difficult for him to marry a fair lady? It's not hard!
The way back was very short, and soon they arrived in front of Xin's house, and Xiao Yuanyou carried Xin Yi out of the car.
"It's getting late today, so I'm not going to visit your father and grandmother."
Xin Yi nodded, there are indeed a lot of things today, and if something like that happened on the street, it was already very good that the fifth brother could send her back.
Xiao Yuanyou couldn't help but rub her hair again, then bowed her head and motioned for her to enter the mansion.
Xin Yi walked towards the gate happily, and without taking two steps, Xiao Yuanyou stopped her,
"Slow down, watch the road, don't jump, be careful of the stones under your feet."
Xin Yi nodded, waved his hand back, and slowed down his steps.
After not taking a few steps, Xiao Yuanyou stopped her again, "Weiwei, just now I asked Xiao Yi to buy glutinous rice and glutinous rice cakes, do you want it?" Tomorrow won't taste good. β
Xin Yi's footsteps stopped, why didn't she smell the fragrance of glutinous rice and glutinous rice in the car?
After a while, she suddenly turned around, lifted the hem of her skirt and ran towards Xiao Yuanyou, ran to him, and stood on tiptoe without waiting for her breath to stand firm, and chirped on Xiao Yuanyou's face.
Xiao Yuanyou was stunned, and Xin Yi had already turned around and ran towards the mansion door with a thief smile on his face.
After a long time, when he was about to walk to the door of the mansion, Xin Yi turned around and turned his head and winked at Xiao Yuanyou, like a cat that had stolen a small dried fish.
Xiao Yuanyou couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.
Xiao and a few hurriedly turned their faces away, not wanting to look at it.
Yo yo yo, it's sweet in the air, and they want a fiancΓ©e too.
After Xiao Yuanyou went back, he didn't get into the carriage, but took the reins from Xiao Yi's hand and asked,
"What did you just find out over there?"
Xiao Yi just said that he was dispersed by the crowd, but in fact, he received Xiao Yuanyou's instructions to go to the place where the incident occurred to check the situation.
"My lord, the water is caused by a lantern being squeezed down by the crowd, and the lantern can be turned over as long as the crowd is evacuated in time and a small area is vacated to deal with the aftermath.
Unexpectedly, there happened to be a showshop procurement office passing by with a bucket full of oil, and the lantern fell down, which happened to fall on the oil drum, and the oil drum overturned ......"
Xiao Yuanyou thought that this accident was not so unexpected at first, but now it seems that it is so.
All coincidences come together, and then it's not a coincidence.
"Are there any other anomalies? What happened to the little prince of the British Prince's Mansion who went missing just now? β
Xiao Yuanyou, as a perennial person who solves cases, will not let go of some small things.
Not to mention people like Kang Ping who have bad behavior in front of them.
She really had a good attitude when she faced Xin Yi just now, but it was good to say that he was worried about the sky, and that he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he would not have a moment of relaxation for Xin Yi's safety.
"No, Xiao Shizi secretly ran away by himself, I heard that recently the British royal couple put their bodies and minds on the eldest girl, and Xiao Shizi will inevitably be negligent."
"Today is also Xiao Shizi's own trouble."
Xiao Yuanyou couldn't help laughing, it was really a villain, this was to let the British couple punish Kang Ping, but I didn't expect it to be really lost.
He put the matter of the brothers and sisters in the British Royal Mansion behind him, and paid attention to the matter of the lantern turning over again.
"My lord, there is another thing, it is about the ...... of the Seven Girls"
Xiao Yuanyou frowned, Wei Wei had just separated from him, what could it be?
After listening to the report of his subordinates, his complexion suddenly changed greatly!
Xin Yi returned home in a happy mood, and as soon as he entered the mansion, the atmosphere was a little abnormal.
Especially when she arrived at the old lady's yard, Mama Qin also stopped talking.
The old lady sat on the couch, saw Xin Yi, beckoned to her, and her face was a little heavy.
"Weiwei...... There is one thing, grandmother wants you to calm down after listening to it, no matter what, your master is still waiting for you to find it. β
In this way, some bulls have the wrong head for the horse's mouth, and Xin Yi is inexplicable.
She tilted her head, "Grandmother, you say, what's the matter, by the way, grandmother, there is a grandmother in Chaotianguan today, did you come to the door?" β
"I sent someone back and said it."
"Grandmother, she is the grandmother who took care of me with Master, the one I saw last time, you still think it's strange."
The old lady's face was a little unnatural, she turned her head away, and was silent for a while, and then said quietly,
"Weiwei, it's about this grandmother, she ...... Chaotianguan sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Mama Qing had gone to see Yuan Shi Tianzun. β
I don't understand a little in my heart, what does it mean to go to see Yuan Shi Tianzun? The avenue is immortal, feathering and ascending to immortals, and coming to fairyland......
None of this is easy.
She looked at the old lady with some confusion, not knowing what she was saying.
"Weiwei, Mama Qing is dead."
Xin Yi sat there stunned, her ears must have just been squeezed out on the street, she didn't understand what it meant.
