Chapter 44: Paying You an Immortal Rabbit

The people in the alley looked at the carriage one after another, the carriage was still unopened, and after a while, a tender voice came out of it: "Dayong Decree, those who disturb the merchants, regardless of the high and low, are exiles for 100 miles, and hard labor for ten days, yes or no?" ”

The voice was immature, and it was a little girl, Yu Lie looked at Wei Yingxue suspiciously, Wei Yingxue was also looking at him, and her bright eyes flashed: "It's the young lady who can do anything." ”

Oh, it's really not Cai Xuan, Yu Lie thought to himself.

The leader of the armor looked at the carriage nervously, and replied in a daze: "Yes, the honorable driver is familiar with the Dayong Decree." ”

The man in the carriage said: "There are sellers and buyers who are merchants, and merchants should discuss the price and sell things, and shoppers should discuss the price of goods, but these two people have a dispute over the price of goods? ”

The leader of the armor was stunned and did not answer.

The coachman coughed, and the leader of the armor woke up, and subconsciously wanted to salute again, but finally stopped, and turned around and asked the shopkeeper, "You two, what are you arguing about?" ”

The shopkeeper was also suppressed, knowing that the people in the carriage were not small, he did not dare to wait slowly, and replied: "This person is from Southern Chu, and I am from the country of Qu, and the destruction of Southern Chu has made me homeless. ”

"Southern Chu people?"

"It's actually a Southern Barbarian who killed the Lord and betrayed his trust?"

"Arrest him, exile for a hundred miles, no, a thousand miles!"

"Maybe it's a guest sent by the Southern Chu people!"

Now, Yonggong convened a meeting of the princes to discuss the crusade against Southern Chu, and when everyone heard that the little boy was from Southern Chu, they all looked excited and shouted.

The little boy's face turned red, and he cried out, "I am not a stranger, and I am not a barbarian!" You Jiangbei talents are barbarians, and instead of selling goods to me, you slander me! ”

The little boy's guards looked at each other with different expressions, and saw someone quietly touching the carriage. At this moment, I heard the voice sound again: "Dayong Law Order, all those who enter the territory of Dayong will be treated equally." There is no distinction between Jiangnan, Jiangbei, and Hebei, but those who enter my Dayong will do business and do things, and there is no distinction between north and south. Now, I ask you, what do you want to buy, and do you have to pay for it? ”

Everyone's expressions were stunned. The little boy sneered: "Everyone present has eyes and ears, this store sells goods wantonly, I pay according to the goods, and I don't bargain with him, who knows, he not only doesn't sell, but also slanders me and insults me, could it be that the Dayong Law Order is just a verbal talk?" ”

"Not verbal, of course."

The voice said, "No matter where you come from, as long as you are in the territory of Dayong, you must obey the laws of Dayong." Shopkeeper, if you ask for a price and don't sell it, you are deliberately disturbing the shop, and according to the law, you will be washed for 10 miles and will be forced to labor for 10 days. ”

The shopkeeper has long been blinded, he was originally just bullying the little boy to be young and ignorant, and he came up with a bad breath to destroy the country, who would have expected it to be like this, and he didn't dare to wipe it with strands of sweat rolling on his forehead, and said tremblingly: "The villain is ignorant, just for the old country to be unforgettable, so ......"

"That's it!"

The people in the carriage didn't listen to him, and raised their voices: "Guest from the south, this shopkeeper has already made a mistake, are you still willing to buy his goods?" If you are willing to buy his goods, and he is willing to sell you, then it is not a disturbance, but a dispute over price. ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper rubbed his hands and looked at the little boy with a look of hope.

The little boy tilted his mouth and said loudly: "I'm not a barbarian, since I fancy his goods, I will naturally pay." Looking down, he saw that the money on the ground had been picked up, he took out a bag of money from his arms, threw it to the shopkeeper, and said coldly: "I am not a barbarian, and your country is not destroyed by me, if you are a big husband, you should really cherish your homeland, why don't you mention your sword and meet the enemy on the battlefield?" ”

After speaking, he lifted the bag in his hand, put it on his back, turned his head and asked the people in the carriage, "Can I go?" ”

"You can go." Humane in the carriage.

The little boy strapped himself on his horse and rode away, followed closely by a group of guards.

As soon as he left, the leader of the armor expelled the crowd of onlookers, and at this time, everyone knew that the people in the carriage were by no means ordinary people, and they dispersed one after another, and what had been a dispute between the wanderers for hundreds of miles was reduced to nothing.

Yu Lie and Wei Yingxue watched in a daze as the carriage slowly passed by and drove out of the alley.

Wei Yingxue's eyes flashed with a bright light, and she said with a smile: "Yu Lie, this young lady is so powerful, I don't know who she is?" As he spoke, he took out the emerald in his arms and played with it.

Yu Lie glanced at the emerald and said curiously: "You have been with her for a full hour, and you have received her gifts, how can you not know who she is?" ”

The little girl smiled: "The world often says that there are friendships in this world that are irreversible, forgetful, kissing, etc., isn't it okay for Yingxue and the young lady to have an unknown friend?" Besides, I gave her a gift too. ”

"Unknown friends?"

Looking at the little girl with a pale face and sparkling eyes, Yu Lie's heart softened.

The crowd had dispersed, the carriage drove out of the laneway, around the towering triumphal arch to turn around the Moxiang Building, who knows, just entered the laneway on the opposite bank, the coachman reined in the horse, and there was a sound of horses' hooves.

Before Wei Yingxue could completely open the window, a hand came in from the crack in the window, holding a beautiful cloth bag, which shook a little and fell lightly.

"I told you, I'll pay you a better one, this rabbit won't die!" The little boy said outside the car window.

"I don't want anything from you."

Wei Yingxue pushed open the window and was about to throw the bag to the little boy, but when she saw him smile, she turned her horse's head and ran towards the depths of the alley.

Yu Lie heard the sound of horses' hooves fading away.

Wei Yingxue closed the window with a pout, and turned her head to look at Yu Lie: "Yu Lie, he is a wicked person, kill my Xiaobai." ”

Yu Lie smiled: "You might as well see what it is." ”

Wei Yingxue's face was slightly red, but she was also curious in her heart, and she wanted to open the bag at the moment, the bag was tied very tightly, and the little girl couldn't untie it, Yu Lie took it and took a look, it was a dead knot, so she carefully untied it along the lines of the rope, and the carriage drove to the cherry blossom forest in front of Moxianglou before untying it.

A rabbit, but not a real rabbit, but a jade rabbit carved from a piece of white flower stone, with a red nose and eyes, and long ears, exactly like the little girl's Xiaobai.

Wei Yingxue's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but want to take a closer look, but her hand reached halfway but turned away, and said softly: "I don't want the wicked's things, and it can't speak." ”

Yu Lie smiled, knowing that she actually liked it very much, so he put the stone jade rabbit in the bag again, tied the rope, put it in her hand, and said with a smile: "If you really don't like it, you can return him another day." ”

"Hmm."

Wei Yingxue secretly glanced at Yu Lie, silently put the bag at her feet, and the blush on her face was dyed layer by layer: "I will definitely pay him back, I already have Yu Lie, I don't want anything else, otherwise, the goddess in the sky will think I'm greedy." With a slight smile, two shallow dimples were revealed.

Yu Lie was stunned.

When the little girl saw Yu Lie lose her mind, she smiled even more cutely, smiling like a flower and delicate like a spring breeze.

Yu Lie really wished he could keep watching her laugh like this, laughing all the time.

The carriage entered the Moxiang Building, and Wei Yingxue ran to the courtyard like a happy bird, smiling at Yu Lie Gege, who was being carried by the attendants, as she ran.

A little farther away, the little boy from Nanchu was hiding in the bamboo forest, he heard the little girl's laughter, but he didn't see the little girl holding the jade rabbit he had paid her, and her face darkened.

The old man had returned from visiting friends, and was waiting outside the courtyard, the big firebird was squatting on the wall, and when it saw Yu Lie coming back, it swooped over, Yu Lie stretched out his arm, and it stopped on Yu Lie's right arm.

"Teacher, I'm back." The little girl threw herself at the old man, who squatted down and took her hands, his face full of love.

The attendant carried the rattan chair to the courtyard, Yu Lie bowed his head to the old man, the old man glanced at Yu Lie deeply, and said coldly: "I will set off tomorrow, let's clean up." ”

"Yes." Yu Lie nodded, but he wondered in his heart, this old man had been treating him as cold as ice, why did he suddenly change his personality today? I also knew to remind him to clean up, as for what the old man said, it was to let him tell the big firebird that they might set off at any time, and let it not go out to forage. Once, the great firebird flew away, and it took three days and three nights to catch up with them.

Wei Yingxue was a lonely little girl, and she was only nine years old, but whenever she was interesting, she would tell her teacher, and she would take out the emerald seed and show it to the old man.

The old man took the jewel and looked at it against the sunset, the halo was like water, colorful, and there was an ancient tree in it, with all the branches.

The old man held it in a daze, his expression was moved, and he put the emerald in the palm of the little girl's hand carefully, closed her small palm, and said with a smile: "Fellowship with people, regardless of the source, it is important to know your heart and confidant." Firefly is a good boy, as dusty as the snow in winter, that's why that noble girl will give you your beloved things. Hold it and don't lose it. As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Lie who was lying on the soft chair in the courtyard.

Yu Lie's face flushed, and he turned his head to tease the big firebird, he knew that the old man was talking about him, his heart was dirty, and he was not sincere to others, but he was used to it.

"Oh."

Wei Yingxue let out a long "oh", happily holding the emerald and looking against the light, only to see the shadow of the tree, which was charming, and in a blink of an eye, her eyebrows wrinkled again: "Teacher, shall we leave tomorrow?" However, Firefly still wants to go to the young lady Xuexun again. He flapped his long eyelashes twice and sobbed loudly.

It has always been like this, every time she goes to a place, no matter who she meets, for her, it is just a meeting in the water, and they will eventually separate, but fortunately Yu Lie is an exception, he said, he will always talk to me.

Wei Yingxue thought sweetly.

……

The sunset in autumn is particularly red, lazily sprinkled on the ink mountain, half green, half gorgeous, the bell in the academy rings from the mountainside, majestic sweep in all directions. In the Moxiang Building, the birds that heard the bell jumped around in the cage and kept calling: "Thief, thief." ”

The woman who had been comparing the strings of the day came out of the house, stretched her waist beautifully in the sunset, and said with charming eyes: "Who is from Qi Kingdom?" ”

The maid standing under the tree replied, "Qi Yu." ”

"Qi Yu?"

The woman walked under the birdcage, picked up a branch to tease the yellow-eyed bird, and said while teasing: "Qi Yu is arrogant in his life, he has not achieved enough things and has more than one failure, Qi Hou sent him, his attitude is obvious, it seems that this time the princes' alliance will break up unhappily." However, in this way, it just helped us. Fight, fight, if you don't fight, how can others be safe. ”

At this time, the pair of yellow-browed birds were teased by her, and cried out again: "Thief, thief." ”

The woman tilted her head and said, "By the way, what about the thief?" Gone? ”

"Thief?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, and after a while she figured out who she was talking about, she replied, "Not yet, but I will leave tomorrow after hearing about it." ”

"Oh?" The woman turned around, squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Let's go, it has nothing to do with us anyway, I hope to see you next time, he is not from Qi country." ”

"That's what the proprietor said." The maid pursed her lips and smiled.
