Chapter 15: The Crumbling Past

Yang Xiaohan was still silent, and only sat down quietly with Li Ronghua.

Li Ronghua was thirsty, but he didn't see the maid come to pour tea, and his anger suddenly rose: "Are people all dead, and they don't even come to serve." ”

Feng Qinghua doesn't like to be lively by nature, seeing Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan coming in, he has already put away his smile and returned to a lazy appearance, at this time he heard Li Ronghua shouting, his heart was already unhappy, and his eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

Xiao Yuning noticed the change in the breeze, and was a little bored with Li Ronghua in his heart, and when he saw her shouting, he said coldly: "Ah Su doesn't like to be served, so he wants to drink tea and pour it himself!" ”

Li Ronghua saw Xiao Yuning's displeasure, and hurriedly put away his temper, not daring to say another word.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaohan hurriedly poured a bowl of tea for Li Ronghua personally, and saw that the bowl was empty, so he also poured a bowl for her, and finally poured tea for himself.

Li Ronghua was scolded by Xiao Yuning, so he only drank tea in small sips and didn't dare to speak.

The atmosphere in the pavilion was cold for a while, and Feng Qingxu felt very boring, so he didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and said lightly: "I'm a little tired, go back first, you can do your own thing." ”

As soon as Xiao Yuning saw that the wind was about to leave, he got up extremely naturally and said, "I'll accompany you." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yuning took Feng Qingshu's hand and slowly walked towards the East Palace.

Xiao Yiting sighed and said, "The two good ladies drink slowly, it's not too early, and I'm going back to the palace." ”

In the blink of an eye, in the huge pavilion, only Li Ronghua and Yang Xiaohan were left.

Li Ronghua's chest rose and fell, and he trembled with anger, swept all the tea dishes on the table to the ground, and let out a piercing scream from his mouth.

Xiao Yuning took Feng Qingxu's hand and walked slowly, and the palace people followed from a distance, they all knew that Feng Qingxu didn't like to be served, so they habitually kept a certain distance.

The sun had gradually begun to scorch, but fortunately, the dense branches and foliage of the trees on both sides of the road shrouded in shade, and the two of them walked in the shade of the trees, not feeling hot, but extremely comfortable.

Feng walked lightly for a while, stopped, and said, "A-Ning, I can't walk anymore." ”

Xiao Yuning looked down at Feng Qingxu and looked reluctant to go anymore, quite a bit of a scoundrel, he couldn't help but smile dotingly, bent down to pick her up like a child, and walked forward.

Feng Qingxu hugged Xiao Yuning's neck, put her delicate face on Xiao Yuning's face, and whispered in his ear: "A-Ning, why didn't you ask me why I suddenly went crazy that day?" ”

"You're not crazy, you're just feeling unwell," Xiao Yuning added, feeling the coldness of the wind on her skin, "If you don't want me to know, I won't force it." ”

Feng Qingxu was silent for a while, but he hugged Xiao Yuning tighter, sighed slightly, and said: "A-Ning, everyone knows that I am a woman who dreams of returning to the city, the apprentice of the deputy city lord Lin Ruoxu, and the scenery is infinite. But no one in the world knows that Master saved me when I was five years old, and I had been wandering for a long time before that, not knowing where I came from, not knowing when I started wandering, but in short, for as long as I can remember, I was a beggar on the side of the road that no one wanted, and I would die of hunger, cold, or disease at any time...... Being able to eat half a clean steamed bun is the happiest thing of the day, because most of the time I can't eat, and even if I finally have a good Samaritan to give alms, those older beggars will snatch away other people's alms, and there will be no left for me......"

Xiao Yuning listened to Feng Qingxu's calm voice, but felt that her every word pierced his heart, he only knew that Feng Qingxu was a beggar picked up by Lin Ruoxu, and became his apprentice because of his talent and intelligence, but he didn't know that Feng Qingxu had such a terrible life before becoming Lin Ruoxu's apprentice.

He couldn't help but hug her tightly with his strong arms, as if this would make her feel the distress and pity in his heart.

Feng Qingxu was unconscious, and continued: "That day, I didn't get food all day, so I was led to a place by a middle-aged beggar with a piece of fragrant and soft steamed buns, where the lights were bright and green, there was a good smell everywhere, and I had never seen food and wine, I had never been to such a beautiful place, and I also saw a particularly beautiful woman, she did not dislike me like others, but was very gentle to me, and gave me fragrant rice to eat......"

The sound of the wind grew lower and lower, and the distant thoughts sank her little by little into the past that she had been reluctant to recall......

"The vision is good, although this girl is small, she is in excellent condition, and she will definitely be a beautiful woman in the future."

"I'll just say it, Ju Niang, don't worry, my grandson's fifth picker has a first-class eye, which girl is not the best for you?" Sun Lao Wu said with a shy face.

Ju Niang looked at the little girl who was gobbling up food in front of her, she was very satisfied, but she remembered something, frowned and said: "It's a clean one, don't be chased here by your family like last time, it almost ruined my good deeds." ”

Sun Lao Wu hurriedly said: "Ju Niang, you just have to rest assured this time, I have been observing her for a month, no one wants a little beggar, ensure that it is clean, and there will never be anything like last time." ”

Ju Niang showed a satisfied smile at this time, and the more she looked at the little girl in front of her, the more she liked it: "Yes, if you train it in my hands for a while, you will definitely be famous all over the world in the future." ”

When Sun Lao Wuyi heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he approached Ju Niang and said, "Why wait for the future, isn't there a precious guest recently...... Extremely generous...... It is said that he is particularly fond of ...... Why not ......"

Sun Lao Wu used the voice that only the two of them could hear and talked to Ju Niang secretly, and Ju Niang's eyes gradually showed excitement, and she seemed to think that Sun Lao Wu's idea was very good.

The five-year-old girl didn't know that her fate was at the mercy of others, so she was pulled by someone at a loss, took a hot bath that she had never had since she could remember, and put on soft and bright clothes, as if in a dream.

How could anyone suddenly be so kind to her? Wandering for too long, being bullied too many times, she had a vague bad premonition in her heart, and this premonition has always been very effective, like an instinctive beast in her body to a prophet of danger. When everyone had left, and she was the only one left in the empty room, this premonition was even stronger, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, desperate to get out of here.

She carefully moved a stool to the window, climbed up with great difficulty, opened the window and looked out, but when she saw it, her heart began to despair, there were three stories high, and if she jumped down, even if she died, she would inevitably break her hands and feet, worse than death.

When she was hesitating, suddenly a pair of powerful arms hugged her thin waist from behind, and there was a prodigal and frivolous voice in her ears: "Little beauty, what are you going to do?" ”
