Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Old Man
The Duchess of Wei was very happy, and she gave a great reward to the little maid who came. Xu next to him was also extremely happy, "I haven't seen my fifth sister for a while, and I don't know if I have lost weight after being at the border for so long." ”
Seeing that Xu's words didn't seem to be fake, Chen liked his eldest son and daughter-in-law a little more, "It's inconvenient for her to enter the house, if you really miss it tightly, go to her newly given house to help, and take a look at the child by the way, these are painful for her." ”
Xu nodded, but she did come to the door, but she didn't dare to take it into her hands when her mother-in-law said about purchasing. It's not that she doesn't want to, it's just that they are a long house, and if they really want to help the girl who has set up another mansion outside, then it should be the uncle of the third room who will send people. Moreover, not as good as the grandfather's family of the five girls, they really can't interfere in the long house.
But seeing that her mother-in-law was happy, she didn't bother. When the time comes, you can find a reason to get through, so why bother to say it again and make your mother-in-law unhappy.
"Wait for the fifth sister to rest for a few more days, and the daughter-in-law will go to disturb in a few days."
Chen nodded, "It's okay, just a few days later, the prince of the country will supervise Mu Xiu, and you will bring a few sons from the mansion over." ”
"Yes, Mother."
Leaving Chang'an Street, Li Xin led the horse and walked back leisurely.
Chang'an in winter was cold to the finger bones, and Li Xin's exposed fingertips were slightly red.
Outside, there are colorful lanterns hanging on the alleys along the streets, and even if he has seen the majesty of Beirong Tiandu City, Li Xin still feels that the beauty of Chang'an is even better.
The quaint and thick streets no longer tell everyone who comes to Chang'an that this ancient city has experienced the charm of thousands of years.
Unlike the dusty Yunzhou New City and the hurried people's travels, the people who live in Chang'an have the pride of growing up in the imperial capital.
Whenever I meet people from other places, I have to talk about the food of Chang'an.
Passing by a noodle stall, Li Xin tied his horse under the locust tree and found a clean and unmanned place to sit down.
When the boss saw it, he hurriedly came over to greet him, "This girl, I don't know what to come?" "I was a little surprised to see the girl wearing a mask.
Li Xin glanced at the people sitting nearby and ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles at random.
"Big bowl, more soup and green onions and an egg."
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, it'll be right away."
"Hmm." Li Xin nodded, waited for the boss to leave, and sat quietly watching the pedestrians and carriages walking on the street. Occasionally, there are old begging people in tattered cotton clothes and begging along the streets.
"Go away, go away, don't affect your meal."
The guest at the next table pushed the begging old man away, and seeing that the minutes fell to the ground, Li Xin raised his foot and kicked the bench next to him, just when the old man was lying on his back and his head was about to hit the ground, he was lying on the old man's back, so he did not throw it on the cold ground.
Li Xin got up and helped the begging old man up, and the man who thought Li Xin was nosy and was about to shout saw Li Xin's cold eyes under the mask, so he stopped and sat down obediently without making a sound.
Li Xin supported the old man with one hand and picked up a stool with the other.
"You may be seated."
The begging old man couldn't help but be grateful, but he didn't dare to sit down at all, "Thank you, girl, thank you, there are two little grandchildren waiting to eat and drink at the old man's house, so I won't sit down, thank you, girl." ”
Li Xin looked at the old man's frozen hands, full of redness, swelling and chilblains, and the beard and hair on his face were no longer distinguishable.
"Uncle don't worry, you sit down and eat something first, if you fall, the two little grandsons don't know what to do."
As soon as he said this, the boss over there came over with a big bowl of Yangchun noodles. When he saw a beggar sitting in his stall, he was stunned at first, and then saw that the girl in gorgeous clothes opposite him didn't say anything, and it was not easy to drive people away.
"This guest officer, this is the spring noodles you want."
The boss first rested on the table, glanced at Li Xin, and immediately nodded and brought the noodles to the old man, "Old man, come and try the craftsmanship." ”
The begging old man was panicked, but Li Xin told him, "It's just a bowl of noodles, the old man is about to eat it, if this delay continues, this noodles will be ruined." ”
Then he turned to the boss and said, "Here's another bowl like this, and two more baskets of soup dumplings." ”
Seeing that Li Xin ordered a lot of things, the boss smiled.
"Okay~"
Li Xin saw that the old man didn't move his chopsticks, and asked for a while, "The old man doesn't like green onions?" ”
The old man wiped his tears, "Where are the poor people so exquisite, it's just"
Seeing that the old man's face was timid, and he looked a little embarrassed, Li Xin said, "What does the old man have but it doesn't hurt to say?" ”
The old man looked at the steaming noodle soup in front of him, and was nervous, "I don't know if the girl can let the old man take this bowl of noodles back, the old man's two little grandsons ......"
Seeing the girl on the opposite side shaking her head, the old man was a little embarrassed in his heart, thinking that he didn't know how to raise and angered the benefactor opposite, and was about to get up, when the voice suddenly came from the opposite side as if it was a fairy sound, from the Western Bliss.
"Uncle eat first, wait for you to finish, I'll ask the boss to give you three baskets of steamed buns back to your two little grandsons, at this time don't just think about them, you eat first and then say, okay?"
The old man burst into tears and thanked Li Xin vigorously.
Li Xin persuaded him that he couldn't persuade him, and when his noodles arrived, he ate his own noodles vigorously, and the old man insisted that he was not polite.
It was the fullest and only hot food he had eaten in more than half a month.
Li Xin paid the bill and handed the three steamed buns packed by the boss to the old man, "You hold it firmly, don't go to the ground to get cold in this winter, let the child eat hot." ”
"Thank you, girl, thank you."
Li Xin nodded, afraid that the old man would keep bowing and thanking him, so he handed over the things and was about to leave.
But the old man had barely taken a few steps when his foot limped in pain.
"What's wrong with the old man? Where did you hurt just now? ”
Li Xin remembered that when the old man was begging just now, although he was on crutches, there was obviously nothing wrong with his legs.
The old man hurriedly shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that I just got up, and my legs are a little numb, so it's okay to do something." ”
Li Xin frowned, she has been in the field for many years, and she doesn't know what happened to her leg and what she was injured.
Seeing that the old man was anxious to find his two little grandsons just now, he must not be willing to go to the hospital by himself at this time.
Li Xin sighed, forget it, good people do it to the end, send Buddha to the west.
"Uncle, I have a horse there, I'll send you back."
When the old man looked at the snow-white horse, he knew that it was worth a lot of money, "I can't help it, the old man is dead dirt and dust, where can I sit." ”
Li Xin smiled, "What's this, my Lan Ruoke is not so hypocritical, uncle, hurry up, don't you worry about your two grandsons?" ”
Li Xin said as he stroked the old man who was a little moved, "Uncle, you are done, please ask, where are your two grandsons now?" ”
"The City God Temple in the north of the city."
Temple...... Li Xin frowned slightly, that was not a good place to stay.
