Chapter 432: Little Ya
"I, my name is Xiaoya, I don't have a surname. Sitting in front of Liu Yiyi and Zhang Chuchu, the little girl who had just woken up from her sleep looked at them timidly and whispered her name.
The little girl's eyes were big and clear, but there was a trace of fear in her eyes, and her two little hands tightly hugged Xiao Yi who had washed her body just now, this was the first person she saw after she woke up, instinctively, she regarded Xiao Yi as a relative.
"Little girl?" Zhang Chuchu showed a very kind smile on his face, bent down slightly, lightly leaned in front of Xiaoya's eyes, looked at the potholes on Xiaoya's little face, and said to her very softly: "Xiaoya, don't be afraid, my sisters have no ill will towards you." ”
Hearing Xiaoya say that she didn't have a surname, Zhang Chuchu's heart was sour, and when she spoke, she deliberately avoided some greetings about her family and relatives.
"Well," although Zhang Chuchu's voice was very soft and good, although Zhang Chuchu's smile was very kind, but in front of this girl, it didn't seem to have much effect, seeing Zhang Chuchu coming towards her, the little girl responded lightly, and her whole body instinctively shrank back.
"Xiaoya, the lord and the lady are very good, they are the ones who rescued you, you don't have to be afraid." Seeing that Xiaoya was a little thousands of miles away, she was about to shrink behind her, afraid that their lord and wife would be angry, Xiaoyi also spoke out to persuade and comfort.
Although the little girl's current appearance is terrifying, it also looks like it gives people a feeling of pity and pity, which makes people unbearable.
"Uh-huh," Xiao nodded, and Xiao Ya's body shrank behind Xiao Yi again.
"Husband, can you say something too?" Seeing that his actions were fruitless, and the good tricks that he had always coaxed children did not work, Zhang Chuchu felt a little defeated. couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the husband who was still sitting on the side speechlessly. {First Reading}
Speaking of coaxing children, her husband seems to be better than a woman, otherwise Liu Xiaohui. Di Renjie and Di Shijie's little ghosts. I won't like him that much.
"Well, if you don't eat the food, it will be cold immediately, so let's eat first." Liu Yiyi stretched out his finger and pointed to the hot and fragrant food on the dining table in the room, and softly greeted his daughter-in-law, then got up and took the lead in sitting, lifted the chopsticks, and sandwiched a piece of fat and thin. The braised pork with a reddish color was put in his mouth and chewed in small bites.
"Well, it's not bad, although it's not as good as the craftsmanship of those chefs in Yi Heju, and it's even worse than Xiao Yi's cooking, but it can be eaten here, and it can be regarded as delicious." While chewing, I gave a review of this dish. Liu Yiyi glanced at his daughter-in-law and said softly: "Lady, come over and eat some too, there is a child in the belly, but don't be hungry." ”
"Huh?" glanced at her husband. glanced at the little girl next to Xiao Yi again, and saw that the little girl was staring at her husband, constantly swallowing and spitting, Zhang Chuchu was a little stunned, daring to love this little girl. It's hungry.
"No, you can't. Give me something to eat too? A small head was revealed behind Xiao Yi, and Xiao Ya timidly looked at Liu Yiyi, who was eating and drinking there. Although she is not very old, she can also see who is in charge of this house.
"Xiaoyi, quickly take Xiaoya over, what do you want to eat, let her eat it," Seeing Xiaoya open her mouth again, even if she didn't say anything to herself, Zhang Chuchu was very happy in her heart, and hurriedly instructed Xiaoyi to carry Xiaoya to the dining table, and sat under Liu Yi, she herself followed and sat down on the other side of Liu Yiyi.
"Xiaoyi, serve her a bowl of gruel, and then pick up some vegetarian dishes for her, such as chicken thighs and braised pork, forget it." Liu Yiyi turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ya, and lightly commanded Xiao Yi.
"Well, I see, sir!" I glanced at their master in surprise, thinking in my heart when did their master become so stingy? However, according to her own duty, Xiao Yi still obediently took a small bowl and served a bowl of warm gruel for Xiaoya, and used an empty plate to send her some vegetarian foods such as tofu and vegetables. {First Reading}
"Thank you, sir!" For Liu Yiyi's arrangement, Xiaoya didn't care, being able to have gruel and vegetarian dishes to eat was a great favor for her, as long as she could fill her stomach, what kind of food was rare and delicious for her. Moreover, compared to the noble lords and ladies she met before who either drove her away or cursed her, the little man in front of her was already a great good person.
Softly thanked Liu Yi, ignoring the frostbite pain on her hands, and ignoring the temperature of the gruel in the bowl, the little girl's two swollen little hands were about to become round, holding the big bowl and pouring it into her mouth, even the chopsticks and spoons were omitted.
"Husband," Zhang Chuchu looked distressed, and couldn't help but reach out and hold his husband's big hand. Looking at the way the little girl eats, she already understands a little bit why her husband doesn't let the little girl eat meat, according to the current state of the little girl, it is indeed not easy for her to eat more greasy food.
"Well, it's okay, let's eat quickly," Liu Yiyi chuckled and patted Zhang Chuchu's little hand, took a piece of fatty fish meat into his daughter-in-law's bowl with chopsticks, and said softly: "When Lao Wang comes back later, let's take her out to have a look." If the lady likes it, take her to Chang'an. ”
"Well, thank you!" Zhang Chuchu smiled at her husband, and then twisted her head to Xiaoya's side, it was only a moment of effort, a bowl of gruel, and a plate of vegetarian dishes, and they all bottomed out, Xiaoya put her hands down again, licked her lips, and looked at Liu Yiyi with her eyes. Judging by the way she looks, she wants to eat a little more.
"No, I'll eat the next meal in the evening." Yanagichichi glanced at her and resolutely refused the request in her eyes.
"Well, thank you, sir, thank you, madam!" Reluctantly looking at the table full of food, Xiaoya still endured it and didn't ask for more, and bent over to thank Liu Yiyi and his wife. For her, who hadn't eaten anything for two days, she was already satisfied with a bowl of porridge to drink and a plate of delicious vegetarian dishes.
"Well," Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, this little girl is also well-behaved, and opened her mouth to tell Xiao Yi to carry her to the couch to rest, Liu Yiyi accompanied her daughter-in-law and started the meal slowly.
At noon, when the food on the table had been put away by Xiao Er in the store, the coachman Lao Wang returned from outside, holding two sets of coarse cloth clothes worn by children, the color was earth brown, from the inside to the outside, there were always ten pieces in total, and they were wrapped into a large package.
"Let's change it for her," motioning for Xiao Yi to take the package, Liu Yi commanded softly, and then took Lao Wang out of the guest room temporarily. Although Xiaoya is only about eleven or twelve years old, she is still a child, but in this era, she is already a half-old girl, and there are some things that she still has to avoid.
Although the material of the clothes is not very good, but it is very warm and fits very well on the body, when seeing the little girl being held by Xiao Yi to open the door for them, Liu Yiyi glanced at Lao Wang in some surprise, and felt that this handlebar-style vision is really enough, just a glance, you can see the size of the little girl's clothes, and bought such a fitting clothes, it is a pity that he did not learn tailoring.
"Husband, what do you think this is?" Seeing Liu Yiyi enter the house, Zhang Chuchu asked Liu Yiyi with something like a pendant.
"That's mine!" Xiaoya touched her neck, called to Zhang Chuchu urgently, and struggled, trying to get off Xiaoyi's body.
A black silk thread, a swarthy little man the size of a little finger
"Moyu?" Liu Yiyi recognized the name of the black autumn thing at a glance, a specialty of Fuping County, Shaanxi, and the only one in China that produced ink jade, whether it was in the Tang Dynasty or in later generations, it was extremely precious.
"That's mine!" Xiaoya shouted eagerly again, ignoring the pain in her feet, trotted towards Liu Yiyi, stretched out her hand to ask Liu Yiyi, and the look on her face was very nervous.
"Who gave it to you?" Liu Yiyi squatted down slightly, handed the pendant to Xiaoya's hand, and asked her softly with some curiosity.
"It's mine!" Taking the pendant, carefully putting it around her neck, and stuffing it into her clothes, the little girl emphasized to Liu Yiyi again, but looking at her small appearance, she didn't seem to have any intention of explaining more.
"Well, got it, it's yours! Rest assured, no one here will think of snatching it out of your hands. Liu Yiyi smiled lightly, stood up, and didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, just a small ornament, although it was a little valuable, and it was a little strange to appear on the body of a little beggar, but it had nothing to do with him.
Leaving Lao Wang alone in the store, looking at the luggage, Liu Yiyi took his daughter-in-law, Xiaoyi, and Xiaoya out of the inn, inquired all the way, and walked in the direction of the ancestral shrine in the town.
"Sister Xiaoyi, master, who is it?" Behind Liu Yiyi and his wife, Xiaoya snuggled in Xiao Yi's arms, hugged Xiao Yi's neck, blinked her eyes, stared at Liu Yi who was laughing with her wife in front of her, and asked Xiao Yi in a low voice.
"Our master, is a teacher, not only very good at teaching students, but also very good at writing poems and songs, a while ago" Regardless of whether Xiaoya can understand it or not, Xiao Yi still said it for her with relish, about their master's affairs, Xiao Yi is always very energetic
