CHAPTER XXXVII

I've never been so obedient as I am now, I've been in the house for three or four months, in fact, I think I've been well a long time ago, but Daddy and Aunt Song are always worried about what I will do. Later, I couldn't hold it back, so Daddy relented and said that he could go out, but he still didn't go too far.

On that day, the housekeeper said that someone was looking for me outside the house, and I wondered if I didn't recognize a few people outside, and who would come to me. I went out and saw a girl in a maid's clothes standing in the doorway, still holding a bag of things in her hand.

"Jin'er?" It wasn't until I got closer that I could see her.

"Oh, Miss Nan, are you feeling better?" Jin'er took the initiative to greet me when she saw me, "Miss Nan, Jin'er didn't know that you were the prime minister's daughter, I was really offended that day!" ”

Jin'er's words made me a little confused: "It's much better, by the way, you are offended?" When have you ever offended me? ”

"Miss's daughter's body, Jin'er is just an inferior slave, Miss sacrificed her life to save her that day, it was Jin'er who offended you, Xin Hao You are safe and sound now, if something happens to you, Your Highness will definitely kill me!"

"Your Highness? Did Chu Muxiu know about me saving you? ”

"Well, I looked at His Highness as if I regretted it, His Highness said that he misunderstood you!"

I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, at that time he kicked me out without saying a word, and now it has been so long before he knows what happened, but I don't care now.

I suddenly felt certain in my heart: "Your life was given by your parents, what qualifications does Chu Muxiu have to ask for your life, I saved you voluntarily, if you want to say that you are offended, I will offend you, don't listen to their nonsense, don't be afraid of Chu Muxiu, they are just relying on their own bravado!" ”

I saw that Jin'er was not very old, but the words that came out of her mouth were as familiar as Aunt Song, and sure enough, there were still too many rules in Tianyue, and I felt so uncomfortable to be circled by rules, not to mention that Jin'er was still an inferior person in her own mouth, she should be even more upset, not only her, but everyone should be upset.

Jin'er smiled: "Miss is really generous. ”

Generous, they all say I'm generous, but only I know how stingy I am.

After a pause, Jin'er pulled her hand over: "Oh, I heard that Miss likes to eat Songhua cake, this is what I specially bought to thank you." ”

"Songhua cake, how do you know that I like to eat Songhua cake, could it be that Chu Muxiu called you here?"

Jin'er seemed to be frightened by me again: "No, no, I only found out after asking Qianche."

"I'm teasing you, what are you nervous about, no matter who sent it, as long as it's food, I won't refuse it."

Jin'er's brows gradually relaxed, and I smiled.

I didn't mention Chu Muxiu to her until Jin'er left, in fact, there was nothing to mention, he must have lived comfortably in the palace. I gave all Jin'er's Songhua Cake to Mo'er, I don't know why I just don't want to eat it, probably because of Chu Muxiu's hands, probably because I ate too much a few days ago.

Today is Tanabata, in previous years, it was very lively outside Qixi Festival, both during the day and at night, Mo'er and I would go out every year, because it was Tanabata so I went out and Daddy didn't say anything, just told me to come back early. I prefer the evening to the daytime, because at night there are many artists on the street who perform fire-breathing and topping plates, and many people will put lotus lanterns in the river to make wishes to the Weaver Girl. I remember when I was a child, most of the wishes I made were to be able to dream of my mother a few more times, there were endless pine cakes, and there were endless new things, although my wishes were not all fulfilled but I still did it every year, I haven't thought about what I want to make this year, probably hoping that I will not be so lonely in the future.

Mo'er wanted to pull me out during the day, and I don't know why I wanted to go out when I was sick, but now that I'm sick, I have no energy. Daddy knew that I was playful so he also asked me to go out and have a look, and I remembered that it was the first time Daddy indulged me like this, but I still refused. In fact, every year on Qixi Festival, I even feel that every year is getting more and more boring, it is better to stay in the yard and wait for my osmanthus tree to bloom. In fact, it is really August and the osmanthus has already produced flower bones, and I don't think that I can wait for the sunset under the osmanthus tree in half a month.

It's been boring all day today, I stayed in the house after dinner in the evening, I don't know where Mo'er went and I don't know where Aunt Song went, I feel like I haven't seen a few people in the whole house, the Qixi Festival is also the Daughter's Day, and the maids probably went to the housekeeper to receive the reward, as for the family, I really can't guess......

I was lying on the edge of the window, and I saw the roar of the salute outside, and the colorful fireworks hit the night sky beautifully. For the first time, I thought that I could enjoy the beautiful scenery without going out, I was looking at it, and a dark shadow came out of the window, and I was startled and thought it was Qianche again, so I didn't hit him and didn't scream loudly, but when he came over, I saw that it wasn't Qianche.

"Lu Huai?"

Lu Huai had a smile on his face: "You haven't been out for so long, and then I heard that you were sick, so come and see, are you all well now?" ”

I straightened up: "I was really sick before, but now that I'm better, if you want to see me, why don't you just walk in through the door?" ”

Lu Huai scratched his head: "Hmm......"

"By the way, today is Qixi Festival, it's lively outside, don't you like to join in the fun, why are you hiding at home today?"

I waved my hand and said, "I'm feeling a little bored." ”

I used to like to join in the fun, but now the more lively it is, the more boring it becomes.

"Bored? I think you've been idle for too long. ”

Indeed, I've been idle for a long time, and I used to be so fond of having fun......

"Don't you have to read military books and train with soldiers?"

Lu Huai simply leaned on the window: "Generals and soldiers are also people, training every day is not fatal, besides, the border is peaceful now, and there is no need to send troops to fight." ”

"Also, the border is quite peaceful." I thought that His Majesty had already opened a warehouse on the border for disaster relief, and there was no reason for them to want to rebel anymore.

"You haven't been out for so long, you don't know what's going on outside!"

"What's changed?" Lu Huai's words really aroused my interest, and I actually ate this set.

"Well, for example, a cook from the north came to Drunken Xianju, and the roast duck he made was first-class fragrant, and the people who waited for it to eat could line up from East Street to West Street; A few sips of good tea were introduced in the tea shop, and Mr. Storyteller did not say that he missed it; There are a few batches of high-quality rouge gouache in the Jade Girl Workshop, I heard that there are also a few fortune tellers who are very accurate, and the fireworks outside are very beautiful, how about we go out tonight......"

I have to say that what Lu Huai said is very good for my appetite, I used to be so happy, and I never thought about changing myself for anyone, not to mention that person I don't think it's worth it. He was getting better every day, and I was frowning every day.

I feel like I'm a little silly.

"Okay, just go."

Later, I jumped out of the window, and Lu Huai was able to do it, pulling me through the roof and over the fence.

All of a sudden we came to the market, outside the gongs and drums were noisy and the lights were bright, and all kinds of acrobatic vendors were constantly calling, and sure enough, the festival was still a little different. I saw a few people performing a fire-breathing performance, they opened their mouths wide and then gently put the torches over them, and with a "thud", a large handful of flames gushed out directly from their mouths, and the people were shocked.

"Good, good!" I kept clapping, and when the vendor came to ask for money, I felt in my pocket and forgot to take the money, so I patted Lu Huai, "Hey, lend me some money." ”

"The monthly salary I receive is not as much as the rouge gouache that your girl's family buys, you must remember it!"

"Remember, remember." Although Lu Huai said so, he was still very happy when he gave me money, and I didn't believe that he would be as poor as me.

In the past, it was too fake to watch that big sweat walk barefoot on the charcoal fire, but now this fire-breathing man has not done anything, this is the real skill, so I gave him the money so happily. Lu Huai is different from Chu Muxiu, he likes to stand beside me and walk with me, but Chu Muxiu is always alone either walking in front or shrinking behind. Lu Huai and I walked from here to there, and went around in a big circle, and I saw a person supporting a pole along the way, and there were two plates on top of the pole, and the person was so skilled that no matter how he shook it from side to side, the plate just wouldn't fall off.

"Okay, okay, Lu Huai, why are you stunned, take the money!"

"Huh?"

"Ah, what, first record it on my account, if you have time to go to my house, I will ask my father to pay you back!"

"That's fine!"

Lu Huai is really happier this time than the last time, although I don't like Lu Huai, but I don't hate him either, because I have always liked such happy people.

"Hurry up, uncle, I want two sugar people!"

"It's you, you won't run away again this time!" I suddenly remembered that I was going to buy candy here that time, but then the housekeeper caught me, and I ran away in a hurry.

"Uncle rest assured, this time he will definitely not run, he will never run."

"I want to buy sugar gourds!"

"I want to buy Songhua cake!"

"Hurry up and give money, give money, give money......"

It may have been too long since I came out, I really feel that there have been a lot of changes outside, and there are a lot of new foods, I bought a lot of things at once, holding a sugar gourd in one hand and a sugar man in the other, and I owe Lu Huai a lot of silver.

"Fortune telling!" An old gentleman sat on a stool drinking tea, he said that he was not old but looked shrewd, and next to a large plaque read fortune-telling.

"It's fun, it's fun." I ran over and sat down, "Hey, fortune teller, are you right?"

The fortune teller finally opened his eyes: "It's not me who has the final say, everything is God's decision, I'm just eating in the face of God!" ”

"That's it, these passers-by on the rivers and lakes can't be trusted, let's go."

"No, now that you're here, you'll have to count it," I turned, "are you out of money?" ”

"Not really."

"Then borrow some more."

Lu Huai muttered and told me to leave, and I wondered, obviously it was Lu Huai who told me that these fortune tellers were very accurate, and now they want me to leave.

I put the silver on the table: "Sir, sir, you help me do the math." ”

"The girls who come to me like to count marriages, girl, what do you think you want to count?" The fortune teller asked me.

"I'm not married, I just look at faces, look at faces."

"Good!"

The fortune teller looked at me for a long time and asked me to put my hand on the table to show him, but after looking at it for a while, he frowned, and his face was not very good, and to be honest, I was a little worried.

The gentleman told me to withdraw my hand and stroke my half-white and half-black beard: "Is Miss over sixteen this year, can my father be here and my mother die first?" ”

I nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, sir, you are really a god!" ”

"Hmm......" The fortune teller looked at me again, and I was looking forward to it more and more, "Miss is surrounded by black gas on the top of her head, and Yintang is faintly black, which is really a great omen, with all due respect to the old man, Miss will definitely have a bloody disaster at home when she is eighteen years old. ”

I jumped up in anger and slapped my palm on the table: "What nonsense, you must be a charlatan!" ”

"We'll find out if I'm a liar or not!"

I laughed angrily: "I will see when I see it, I will definitely stand here in two years, and you won't run away when the time comes!" ”

I grabbed the ingot of silver on the table: "You really shouldn't take this money." ”

"Liar!"

"Ah Candle, don't take that person's words to heart, he must be a liar, he must be talking nonsense."

Lu Huai was comforting me all the way, and I scolded him a few words when I was leaving, but I still felt angry, I had a good time, and the liar's words were really disappointing. I'm fine, Daddy is fine, Aunt Song is fine, Mo'er is fine, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion is also safe and stable, how can it be like the liar said, it's absolutely impossible.
