Chapter 223: They Were Then
For the poetry conference, in fact, Bo Yunxiu didn't have much interest, a group of people gathered together, what poetry and literature friends, shaking their heads, this brother and that brother, it was a headache to listen to.
"Second child, don't be too demanding!" Bo Yunchong drank tea, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, you make it difficult for me to do it." Otherwise, I'll find you a few girls? Tut-tut, the pretty kind, just your skin, let me tell you, as long as you nod, those girls don't have to be responsible for you! ā
Bo Yunxiu glanced at him and gently put down the cup in his hand.
"Big brother, don't make fun of the second brother anymore, I didn't see the second brother's face change!" Bo Yunyu smiled lowly, peeled the nuts in his hand, and put the peeled nuts on the plate, "Second brother, don't listen to the nonsense of the eldest brother, if you want to go somewhere, go by yourself!" Don't pay attention to Big Brother, you don't know him yet? ā
Bo Yunchong has always been free, he loves as much as he wants, his father doesn't care, his mother doesn't care, the queen will find fault at first, but after a long time, no one cares about him anymore.
"Look slowly, I'm going to walk by the river, it's too boring here." Bo Yunxiu turned to leave.
"That's a lot of demand!" Bo Yunchong grabbed a handful of nuts from the plate, "Fourth, do you have any ideas?" ā
Bo Yunyu shook his head indifferently, "I'm purely here to make heads, where you go, I'll follow!" ā
"Why don't I take you around the gambling house later?" Bo Yunchong said with a grin.
Bo Yunyu: "......"
There are not many people by the moat, and because he fell into the water and almost drowned when he was young, Bo Yunxiu generally does not get too close to the water. After that incident, his father privately invited his master and secretly taught him kung fu.
Bo Yunxiu is good at everything, has a good memory, has a high understanding, is willing to endure hardships, and even the progress of practicing kung fu is faster than that of others.
He came here purely to be quiet, there was no one around, and the wind blew the willows and drooped low.
Very good!
It's just that in addition to the quiet, it adds to the loneliness.
The back door of the Bachelor's House.
Xia Wenxi rolled up her wide sleeves and quietly slipped out the back door, without a single maid by her side, so as not to be caught when she got it, and her father would punish her together with the people around her.
However, my brother's clothes are too big! After her cut, it is still very spacious, and it can only be strangled with a belt, otherwise it is like being packed in a sleeve, which is very funny.
Fortunately, there is a ready-to-wear store on the street, and the little girl who stole her brother's clothes ran into the ready-to-wear store like a smoke, and ran out swaggering out after a while.
Eating rock sugar gourds, pinching the clay figurines he just bought, and carrying all kinds of melons and fruits in his arms.
Xia Wenxi can be regarded as having walked through the two streets of the Eastern Capital. But she didn't know the way, and she didn't dare to go too far, not to mention that she was a woman, in case she was accidentally discovered...... If you turn around and be caught by your father and brother on the street, it's really over!
We have to find a place where no one is around, and get rid of all these delicious foods first!
The moat was quiet, Xia Wenxi silently put the delicious food in the pavilion by the river, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a man walking slowly towards the river, which seemed to be ......
"It's going to ...... Oops, kill yourself! Xia Wenxi ran away.
The rainy grass was a little slippery, and Xia Wenxi ran in a hurry, "Hey, hey, don't think about it!" If you have something to say, you can say it slowly! ā
Bo Yunxiu didn't understand what was going on at all, just looked at the weeds by the river, something was bubbling, and wanted to walk over to see what was going on, but as soon as he walked to the river, he heard a strange shout behind him, accompanied by the sound of da-da-da-da.
Can't think of it?
Who wouldn't want to open it?
Bo Yunxiu looked left and right, this piece seemed to be alone, and even the minions were sent far away by him, it stands to reason...... Well?
Turning sideways and turning around, Bo Yunxiu's eyebrows furrowed into Sichuan characters.
A young man ran as fast as an arrow from a string, coming straight at him, shouting, "Don't jump." Don't jump! ā
Bo Yunxiu was shocked, was she?!
The next moment, Xia Wenxi had rushed to him at the fastest speed in her life, she reached out and pulled his arm, who knew that the grass was slippery, and the moment she dragged Bo Yunxiu, her whole person slid directly down the slope of the river into the water......
"Ahhh......hh
If he were someone else, Bo Yunxiu would definitely be slapped to death.
But he recognized her, the girl of the Xia family who was sitting on the wall, eating dates and saying that she wanted to marry him.
The little girl's body is very light, Rao is dragging him, it stands to reason that he can get her back as soon as he fishes it out, who knows that the problem of slippery feet can also be contagious, he didn't stand firm, and pounced directly on Xia Wenxi.
I could only hear a plop, splashing a huge big wave.
Both overboard.
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" When Xia Wenxi climbed ashore, he gasped hard.
Fortunately, it was on the shore, and the water was not deep, so he pushed her up.
At this moment, the two of them stared at each other, sitting on the grass wet, like two water ghosts running out of the Hades Palace...... "Childe? Son! The people below were very frightened, "Childe, the slave is going to buy clothes and let you change them!" ā
The second prince fell into the water, if the palace knew it, the emperor would not have to pick off everyone's heads?
"Buy two!" Bo Yunxiu's voice is cold.
The people below run away.
"Follow me!" Bo Yunxiu stepped forward coldly, grabbed Xia Wenxi's arm and left.
"Hey, hey, I'm saving you, what are you dragging me for? IāI don't know you, you...... What do you do? Xia Wenxi gritted her teeth.
Her father and brother had always warned her that if she went out and was found, she would be pulled out and sold. Sold in ravines, sold to the blind and lame or fools, and then kept in a pigsty like a sow.
Bo Yunxiu shrank her hand.
As soon as the wind blew, Xia Wenxi shivered from the cold, "You don't want to sell me, I didn't mean to push or push you into the water." ā
Bo Yunxiu stared at her without saying a word.
Xia Wenxi sneezed fiercely, "I'll give you something delicious, I'll ...... I...... Yawn! ā
"Childe, slave ......" The subordinate came back with two sets of clothes.
Bo Yunxiu glanced at her fiercely, "Go to the inn to change your clothes, and after changing your clothes, I will find you to settle accounts, if you dare to run, I will break your legs and sell you again, do you understand?" ā
Xia Wenxi shrank and nodded obediently, she ran out alone, but there were three people on Bo Yunxiu's side, and the hero didn't suffer the loss in front of him, so he changed his wet clothes first.
Because of the commotion of the poetry conference, there was only one room left in the inn.
Xia Wenxi frowned and looked at the small room, what did she say in the book?
Lonely men and widows, in the same room?!
"Change!" Bo Yunxiu threw her clothes over.
Xia Wenxi quickly took it, and when he held it in his arms, he hesitated, this kid didn't seem to be a bad person. It's just such a room, how can I change it?
As soon as he came back to his senses, Bo Yunxiu had already taken off his coat.
"Hey, hey......" Xia Wenxi was anxious, and hurriedly covered his eyes, "You, you turn your back." ā
"Are you a woman?" This girl's embarrassed appearance made Bo Yunxiu suddenly have a bit of bad taste, "You have what I have, and I have what you have, why are you so hypocritical?" ā
Xia Wenxi turned his back, and the roots of his ears were red, "I, you don't have what I have." ā
"Oh, where is it?" Bo Yunxiu asked, casually dropping down the clammy clothes, "You can talk about it, if you can say it, I will ...... I'll buy you dates to eat. ā
Xia Wenxi blinked, and suddenly turned to look at him, "I ......"
Smooth texture, white chest, something is completely different from hers.
Bo Yunxiu was wearing her coat and was about to button it up, but she turned around so coldly that he was stunned for a moment. The handsome face was full of strange looks, and the eyes that looked at her became a little deeper.
"Have you seen enough?" Bo Yunxiu's voice was slightly hoarse, and she closed her clothes with a little embarrassment.
Xia Wenxi turned around silently, only to feel that her cheeks were hot, lowered her eyebrows and looked at her chest, and thought carefully about Bo Yunxiu's ...... It doesn't seem to make a difference?!
After a while, she heard the door creak, someone went out, and the door closed again.
Xia Wenxi turned around in a daze, looked at the closed door, quickly ran to the door and fastened the deadbolt, and then slowly began to change clothes.
This dress is still bigger, green and green, put on her, like a zongzi wrapped in hoop leaves, I don't know if these people are blind, they actually found such a color, sure enough, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked.
opened the door, Xia Wenxi drooped his little face, unhappy three words, written all over his face, "It's too ugly!" ā
Bo Yunxiu held back a laugh, and the minions below couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
Xia Wenxi's face instantly turned red, "Look, look, isn't this blind?" This color, this color, those who don't know think that the old stump sprouts! ā
"It's fine!" Bo Yunxiu's voice was slightly cold, and her throat rolled.
Heart: It's ugly!
Bo Yunxiu asked the shopkeeper to fry two bowls of ginger soup and bring them up, "Go to the cold first, and I'll settle accounts with you!" ā
Xia Wenxi looked at the contents of the bowl and shook his head, "I don't drink it!" I have never been sick or painful since I was a child, I have never taken medicine, I don't drink medicine! ā
"Ginger soup!" Bo Yunxiu frowned.
I'm afraid this girl has a problem with her brain?
It stands to reason that he should be recognized.
Unless......
Be brainless!
Thinking of this, Bo Yunxiu's face became colder and colder, and even the servants below sensed that the master was unhappy and quietly withdrew from the room.
"Drink!" Bo Yunxiu picked up the bowl.
How did Bo Yunyu's illness come about, Bo Yunxiu knew it, so he ......
"It's unpleasant!" Xia Wenxi put down the bowl after only taking a sip, looked at Bo Yunxiu cooing and drinking, and hurriedly pressed his hand.
Bo Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, his mouth was burned by the ginger soup, and the same was true in his throat. He looked at her with a little anger, wondering what she wanted to do. Just drinking a bowl of ginger soup, where is there so much?
"Isn't yours a little better?" Xia Wenxi suddenly snatched the medicine bowl in his hand and pushed his own medicine bowl in front of him, "Mine is for you!" ā
He must have done it, otherwise this ginger soup is so unpalatable, why can he drink it without changing his face? Thinking of this, Xia Wenxi drank the remaining ginger soup as quickly as possible.
As it said in the book, when you go out, you have to guard against people.
He's drunk it, it's definitely fine.
Bo Yunxiu was stunned in place, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, that is...... He drank!
"It's spicy!" Xia Wenxi frowned, "It's so unpalatable!" ā
Look, there was something wrong with her bowl of ginger soup, and he didn't dare to drink it!
Bo Yunxiu frowned and looked at the ginger soup full of people in front of him, "You finished drinking mine?" ā
"I'm done." Xia Wenxi touched his neck, "It's hot here." ā
"Oh!" Bo Yunxiu drank another half bowl of ginger soup and pushed the remaining half bowl in front of her, "Go on!" ā
Xia Wenxi blinked her big beautiful eyes, "Me? ā
"I'll sell you if I don't drink it!" Bo Yunxiu's face was cold.
"Drink, drink!" She picked up the bowl and put it in her mouth, anyway, he drank half a bowl, it must be no problem, but the spicy strength of the ginger soup is really flattering.
Drinking made her hair stand on end, her whole little face drooped down, and she shivered deeply, it was so unpleasant!
She looked at him with a frown, "I'm done." ā
Bo Yunxiu nodded, "Very good, very well-behaved!" ā
"Can I go?" She asked happily.
My father and brother often praised her for being very well-behaved, and every time she complimented her, they would agree to any request she made.
Bo Yunxiu looked at those bright eyes, and her heart suddenly softened a little, "How to calculate the account of pushing me into the water?" ā
Xia Wenxi: "......"
Seeing that she was silent, Bo Yunxiu added coldly, "Or, I can go to the official and say that you are going to kill me!" ā
"I'm here to save you!" Xia Wenxi was anxious, his cheeks bulged, like a koi in a lotus pond, "I thought you were going to commit suicide by jumping into the river, and even lost the sugar gourd, so I ran to save you, why are you so ignorant?" If I had known this, I wouldn't have saved you. You just jump down alone, and you will still affect me, and now the wicked person will sue first, how can I kill someone! Bo Yunxiu looked at her steadily, her eyes were faint, looking at her extremely aggrieved appearance, she subconsciously tightened the hand in her sleeve, "You make it clear, did I jump down by myself, or did you push it down?" ā
Xia Wenxi wrung his cuffs, "You are so tall and big, how can I push you down?" You dragged me down. ā
"You!" Bo Yunxiu stood up suddenly.
Startled, Xia Wenxi's complexion changed suddenly, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, opened a pair of big eyes, and stared at him directly, as if he was a jackal beast and a beast that could eat people.
Bo Yunxiu gritted her back molars, "You say it again!" ā
This girl's ability to reverse black and white is really not small!
"You're dragging me......" her back was already pressed against the wall, and her voice was like a mosquito, "Slip down!" ā
Bo Yunxiu took a step on her long legs, and he was already in front of her, just enveloping the thin her in his own shadow.
Xia Wenxi stubbornly stared at his big eyes, as if to show his determination to never give in, and shouted at him at the top of his voice, "It's just to slide down!" That's it, it's just sliding! ā
"You ......"
Before he could speak, she suddenly reached out and pushed him.
The slightly cool soft wattle fell on his chest, but it failed to shake him in the slightest.
He lowered his eyebrows, frowned at her in surprise, and pushed him with his hand, which would have made a lot of effort, but unfortunately...... Still couldn't push.
Oh, if you can't push it, you start to use it, and you use him as a human wall, and if you can't hit it, you start to get angry with yourself, all kinds of deaths, all kinds of trying to move him away, and finally fail.
The person in front of him was like an iron wall, and he couldn't move away from her when he put it in front of her.
Xia Wenxi raised her head and stared at him with a snort, her face was red, and there was only him in her eyes, she gritted her back molars, "Get out of the way!" ā
Bo Yunxiu didn't speak.
"Will you get out of the way?" Someone even got angry with his mouth, like an angry goose, with his hands on his hips and his neck long, and because he was not tall enough, he screamed and stood on tiptoe. Because she couldn't stand steadily, she leaned on her back, maintaining this stubbornness that refused to admit defeat, and stared at him for a long time.
After a long time, even she felt bored, so she was defeated, and rubbed her face, which was stiff because of the posing, "Forget it, I'll lose your money!" ā
She took off the purse around her waist and pulled her private money in front of Bo Yunxiu.
A small purse, the plum blossoms outside are embroidered crookedly, if you don't look closely at all don't know what flowers are embroidered, she embroidered a "plum" on the edge of the fancy edge, and probably knows that she is too ugly to embroider.
Bo Yunxiu frowned, everyone in the eastern capital is beautiful, which one is not a knitting girl, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Xia Li'an is also a university scholar, and his son Xia Wenqing is also famous in the Eastern Capital, he is really a scholarly family, and it stands to reason that the daughter raised should be gentle and virtuous, and she is outstanding.
But the people in front of you ......
Twisting a piece of broken silver, Xia Wenxi pouted with a heartache on his face, and finally picked up his hand and stuffed the silver into his palm, "Oh, that's all!" Here you go, you go buy two more bowls of ginger soup. ā
The corners of Bo Yunxiu's lips twitched, and her eyebrows furrowed even tighter, "You...... Give me money? ā
Oh, this girl!
"I really only have that much!" She clutched her purse tightly.
The first time I went out, I met a scoundrel and a robber, I was really angry......
Bo Yunxiu's face darkened, and she coldly pulled her purse away.
"Hey, hey, it's mine, you're robbing!" Xia Wenxi was anxious, "This is all my belongings, without money, I can't go out to play in the future!" Give me back! Give me back! ā
Bo Yunxiu pulled her purse, just a little silver, is it all her belongings?
"If you're like this, I'll never be able to go out to play again!" She looked at him pitifully with red eyes, "Give me back!" If you don't pay me back, I'm welcome! ā
Bo Yunxiu ignored her, turned around and walked towards the table.
The next moment, the little girl rushed up like crazy, and bit his arm with a whimper. It's not so much a bite as it is Han, she just bites, and she doesn't use force, as if she is scaring him, if she doesn't return it, she will really bite down.
Bo Yunxiu stood still and didn't move, looking at the little face, sticking to his arm, obviously a little white rabbit, he had to pretend to be a crab with teeth and claws.
She spread her hand and motioned for him to hand it over.
This time, Bo Yunxiu didn't embarrass her and put her purse in her palm.
Xia Wenxi's speed was very fast, he stuffed his purse into his arms, and rushed out of the door.
However, where could her speed catch up with him, and when she turned around, she was stopped by his waist and held under his armpit, "Did I say let you go?" ā
Xia Wenxi hummed and didn't struggle.
"What's your name?" He asked, like a prisoner, "How old?" ā
Xia Wenxi snorted and didn't answer.
I'm afraid to say it, and I'll scare you to death!
"Don't you say yes?" Bo Yunxiu suddenly threw her on the bed.
It hurt so much that Xia Wenxi suddenly turned over and ran to the corner of the bed, "My father is a scholar of the court, if you dare to touch me, I will let my father lead someone to beat you!" ā
"Name!" Bo Yunxiu stood in front of the bed.
Looking at her muttering, nesting in the corner of the bed like a big dumpling, I felt extremely happy.
"Xia Wenxi!"
"How old are you?"
"Ten ......"
"Tell the truth!"
"Just in time!"
Bo Yunxiu turned around and walked to the table and sat down, "As far as I know, Scholar Xia doesn't seem to have a daughter, outsiders only know that he has a son named Xia Wenqing!" ā
"That's your loneliness!"
"Be honest!"
"That's because my dad never let me go out, I'm so big, it's the first time I've escaped from home, the first time I've gone shopping, who knows that I met you, a debt collector!"
Bo Yunxiu doesn't understand that it is reasonable for parents to love their children, but what is the difference between such a ten-year captivity and imprisonment? Even if his father was worried about his safety, at most he would nag a few words, and he would never confine him in the palace.
Excessive protection can sometimes turn into fatal injuries, and animals in cages are only released for the sake of being preyed!
The current Xia Wenxi is an animal that has just been released from the cage.
A blank sheet of paper, curious about everything, unguarded about everything.
She didn't know how to get along with each other, let alone the difference between men and women, because her father and brother would not teach her such a truth. "Let's go!" Bo Yunxiu raised his eyebrows.
"Really let me go?" Xia Wenxi quickly climbed off the bed, "Then I'll go, you can't regret it!" ā
Bo Yunxiu didn't say a word, and the girl rushed out as if she was running for her life, without looking back.
Xia Wenxi ran fast, of course, he didn't forget to cover the purse in his arms when he ran.
It wasn't until she ran into the alley that she stopped, and looked at the mouth of the alley for a long time, making sure that the cold gnocchi was not chasing, and Fang stood up straight with her pounding heart.
"It's so dangerous, I finally escaped, and I was scared to death." Xia Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief, "You really thought I didn't recognize it?" Isn't it just sitting on the wall and making a joke, it's really stingy, and the man's husband is still so calculating. Luckily, I'm smart enough to pretend I don't know, otherwise it would have been miserable! Goodbye, stingy! ā
No, I should never see you again!
"Humph!" Xia Wenxi settled down and quickly ran in the direction of home, she only remembered the general route.
However......
It didn't go around until it was dark, and she didn't find where the Bachelor's Mansion was, but a child took her to find the Bachelor's Mansion.
"Thank you!" Xia Wenxi smiled weakly, if you go back at this time, you will definitely be discovered, right?
Taking a deep breath, Xia Wenxi tiptoed close to the back door, and stayed on the door for a long time, but there seemed to be no movement inside. At this time of the day, the back door would have been locked, but today I was lucky enough to open it with a slight push.
"It's okay, it's okay!" She bent over and quickly entered the door, expertly fastening the deadbolt.
After doing all this, the big stone in my heart finally landed, and the house was so quiet, my father and brother must not have noticed that she had slipped out! I have to reward Lu'er well, this errand is very good!
"Ahem, ahem!"
A light cough suddenly sounded in the darkness, and Xia Wenxi knelt on the ground with a plop, "Dad, I didn't go out, I really didn't go out, I just walked around here to eliminate food!" "I want to talk about "Leaving the Phoenix" with more like-minded people, " ", talk about life, find a confidant~
