Chapter 4: I'm Not a Good Person

Tongyang Gate is the south gate of Xingqing Palace, located in the Chunming Gate, and from the outside of the Wuben Fang, if you go to Pingkang Fang, you have to pass through the East Market, that is the place where Li Yun wants to avoid it far away, and the carriage has to turn around halfway to the north and take Chunmingmen Street.

"Little lady Xiao, do you bring a mirror? Show me ......."

As soon as Li Yun spoke, he saw Xiao Xiaoniang, who was facing him sideways, covering her mouth a little funny, but she looked a little embarrassed now, and she couldn't take care of this. The saro head had been lost in Dongshi a long time ago, and her hair was a little messy, and she felt that the dragon head hosta that was tied in her bun was still there, and she was suddenly relieved. But the boots on my feet are so embarrassing that I have to buy new ones.

"Miaoyun! Give him your own bronze mirror! ”

Xiao Xiaoniang commanded, the little maid who was about thirteen or fourteen years old turned out to be Miao Yun, she turned around and took out a diamond bronze mirror in the big box in the back corner of the carriage and handed it over, and also took the comb to Li Yun as smart.

"And what are you doing with a comb? Would you like to help me comb my hair? Li Yun didn't answer, and smiled angrily.

Looking at the handsome face and the occasional shallow dimples on her cheeks, Miao Yun wanted to say yes, but seeing the somewhat ridiculous expression on Li Yun's face, she pouted angrily: "You...... You are rude! I'm not going to help you comb your hair! ”

Am I rude? I haven't insulted you yet!

"Ah......" Li Yun opened his mouth in the mirror as if no one was around, and saw that the inner wall of his mouth was swollen and a large blood blister bulged, which was really painful and depressing.

Seeing that Li Yun was using the mirror like this, Xiao Xiaoniang and Miao Yun were stunned and almost fainted. But the mirrors were given to others, and it was not good to take them back.

Li Yun remembered some troublesome things again, suddenly smiled weirdly, and said, "It's a little boring, how about I tell you a story?" ”

Little Lady Xiao turned her head and glanced over quickly, and said with a chuckle: "Let's talk!" It's best to have your own story, such as ...... Why is it that I was chased by a messenger and had no way to go to the sky, and there was no way to enter the earth......"

"My story is not touching...... I'm going to tell a story that brings tears to your eyes! Li Yun continued.

"Once upon a time, there was a woman who married a good husband and gave birth to a wise and martial son.

Later, after her husband died, and her son married the daughter of a wealthy and aristocratic family, the daughter-in-law thought every day about taking her place and controlling the family property. Forget it, her daughter-in-law still didn't like her very much, and finally drove her out of the house to live alone, and for this reason, there were many fierce conflicts in her family......

Of course, her son wanted to keep her at home to fulfill her filial piety, but helplessly, her daughter-in-law's family was very powerful and frequently put pressure on her son.

In the end, there was no way, her son moved her to the old house to live alone, and her daughter-in-law did not allow her children and grandchildren to visit her. Although there are many subordinates to serve, and there is no shortage of food, drink and clothing, she is empty and lonely in her heart, and she is lonely.

You say, "Isn't this woman very pitiful?" ”

"Alas...... It's really pitiful, and her daughter-in-law is too hateful! Xiao Xiaoniang couldn't help but be indignant, turned her head to look at Li Yun and asked, "The person you are talking about can't be someone from your family, right?" ”

I'm talking about my grandmother! Empress Zhuangxian of Shunzong, the current Queen Mother...... Of course, Li Yun was inconvenient to tell her, so he replied with a smile: "It's my relative, I was going to visit her today, but you know, something happened at noon, let's talk about it...... I came out today without money, without gifts, and I'm ...... like this now."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the faces of the master and servant slowly turned cold, and they quickly exchanged glances, Li Yun was a little weak, so he had to stop.

Miao Yun widened her eyes and shouted, "Hmph! It also tells stories...... The fox's tail was exposed. You said that you trespassed into our carriage and let my little lady send you there, and you still want us to prepare gifts for you, you are calling us as your family......"

"Absolutely nothing! I really need help right now! Money words...... How about you report a general account to me afterwards, and I'll come to the door to pay it back in person? Little lady Xiao, can you do me a favor? ”

Li Yun pleaded with a bitter face, and suddenly saw Xiao Xiaoniang roll her eyes, look up at the roof of the car slightly, purse her lips and smile, and asked, "After talking for a long time, the slave always thinks that you are like a big liar." You were chased by a sent person, did you do something bad that was not seen? ”

"Don't worry! I'm not a good person! It's a liar! Are you going to send me to justice? ”

Li Yun didn't want to say anything, so he replied indifferently. Sure enough, Xiao Xiaoniang looked up and down carefully, and struggled for a while before replying: "Forget it, the slave is not good to go out today, so I will be deceived by you!" So what kind of gift do you want to buy? And also...... What is your name? Where do you live? Don't lie! Otherwise...... The slave should not be wronged......"

"Of course, gifts don't need to be expensive, as long as they are right! It's the elder I just mentioned. Li Yun was overjoyed when she heard this, this little lady actually agreed, but she must be an official eunuch, and her surname is Xiao, maybe she is from the Xiao family of Lanling, and it is not easy to answer this household registration, so she said: "My name is Li Erlang!" I live in Xingning Fang, Wannian County, Jingzhao Prefecture, and it's over! ”

"It's not true! But listen, don't do bad things in the future, be more filial to your family, and the slave will only help you this time! ”

Xiao Xiaoniang glanced at her, she was obviously younger than herself, and she looked like a big sister, as if she had decided that she was a problem teenager. Li Yun can't say if he is bitter, he is already embarrassed, what else can he say.

Not long after, the carriage went down Chunmingmen Street and arrived outside the north gate of the East Market, and I saw many sergeants guarding the gate of the city from afar, it seemed that the people of Jin Wuwei were strictly circling the crowd of carriages and horses in and out of the East Market, Li Yun asked Xiao Xiaoniang to pass the word, and the carriage stopped at the corner of the East Market Fang Wall, and then watched Xiao Xiaoniang and Miao Yun walk to the outside of the East City Gate, and said a few words to the sergeant guarding and was released.

"You said you were a descendant...... My little lady is the pearl of Ah Lang and his wife, and I am here to run errands for you today! Looking at your dress and demeanor, you don't look like those gentlemen, why are you hiding like this? ”

The young man sat in front of him, and he heard the conversation in the car, and at this time he also began to talk. Li Yun was angry and didn't have a good seizure, so he replied: "Don't ask more, it's not good for you if you know!" That's right...... Is your master from the Lanling Xiao family? What is Unknown? What kind of official position? ”

"Hey...... How many families in Chang'an have the surname Xiao? My family Ah Lang is an official in Zhongshu Province, and he doesn't need to ask more about his name, and he won't tell you if he asks the old man! ”

"Huh! Even if you say it, I'll forget it......"

Isn't it the Lanling Xiao family, do you really think it's amazing? Li Yun was not interested in inquiring about this, if he really wanted to check, it would be very easy.

He chatted with the coachman with and without a ride, and kept his eyes on the door of Dongshifang.

Suddenly, a carriage slowly drove out of the gate of the East Market, and the sergeant on guard immediately stopped and asked questions, stepped forward and pulled the coachman down roughly, and a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old came down from the carriage, talking to the sergeants with a smile on his face, and stuffed some money for the sergeant who was interrogated, so he was sent away......

The carriage was nothing special, but the coachman sitting outside the door of the carriage looked a little familiar, and the avisor hat he wore on his head was very low, and he only saw a big beard on his chin, which was a bit like the "bearded big eyes" that fanned the flames in the East City.

Wait a minute...... East Market? Isn't this carriage leaving Higashi City? The gang must not have escaped yet, and this coachman is very similar!
