Shui Ling'er sat by the stream in the back mountain, her trousers rolled up to her thighs, and her bare feet soaked in the water, swinging back and forth.

She sighed and looked at the fish swimming freely in the stream, if she couldn't go to the imperial capital to work, what else could she do? She has sound hands and feet, and she doesn't want to rely on Xiaohu and Ziyi to support her.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her, she saw that there were a lot of fish in this creek, and some of them were fat, so it was better to catch these fish and sell them.

An hour later, Shui Ling'er put the fish she had caught into a bamboo basket, and she dragged it to the market with great difficulty.

Di Sheng and Xiao Zhu not far away saw it, Xiao Zhu hurriedly ran over to help Shui Ling'er, Di Sheng followed, he walked in front of Shui Ling'er, looked at a bamboo basket of fish, and said, "Shui Ling'er, what are you doing?" ”

"I'm going to sell fish."

"Nope." Di Sheng frowned and said, "If you lack money, tell me, I'll give it to you." "How could he let the future queen do such a lowly job.

"I'm going to earn money with my own hands." Shui Ling'er took out a fish and a kitchen knife from the bamboo basket, squatted down and neatly removed the fish scales.

Seeing that she was skillful, Di Sheng said, "You usually do this?" He thought she was everyone's lady and wouldn't do the things of this cook, after all, her brother was the leader of the Black Plum Gang, and his business was all over the world, and his financial resources should not be underestimated.

Shui Ling'er didn't think much about it and said: "In the past, when I was in the mountains, I had to come by myself to eat. She skillfully chops the fish's head, cuts open the fish's body, and removes the internal organs.

Di Sheng saw that she was such a beautiful and beautiful woman, but her hands were stained with blood, he was really not used to seeing it, he said: "Shui Ling'er, don't do it, you will go to the imperial capital with me to work in a week, and you will earn more silver than you sell these fish." ”

Shui Ling'er raised her head in wonder and said, "Didn't Xiaohu return the silver to you?" ”

"I refused, and besides, he's just your childhood sweetheart, how can he influence what you want to do."

Shui Ling'er happily walked towards Di Sheng and said, "So I can still go to the imperial capital?" ”

Seeing her leaning towards him with her hands stained with blood, Di Sheng couldn't help frowning, took a step or two back, and said, "Of course." ”

Shui Ling'er happily grabbed Di Sheng's arm and said, "You are so good." After speaking, he returned to Zhulan and continued to chop fish.

Di Sheng looked at his white clothes dyed red with a sad face, he sighed, after returning to the imperial capital, he would definitely ask Bai Yu for the silver taels of this shirt.

"Shui Ling'er, you can already go to the imperial capital, why do you need to use these fish again?"

"Anyway, there is still a week to go to the imperial capital, and it is boring to be idle, so it is better to come and sell fish." She looked Dickson up and down and said, "Look at you, you look good." ”

Di Sheng didn't understand why Shui Ling'er suddenly praised his appearance, he said politely: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

"Don't waste your appearance, go and help me find customers."

Di Sheng was stunned and said, "Me? "He always lured customers in the Narcissus House and never sold fish.

Shui Ling'er snickered: "Don't you know that when you were recruiting, those girls coveted you?" ”

Di Sheng thought to himself that the girls in Shui Ling'er's mouth were already elderly women, and he couldn't be happy to hear it.

"So go and help me pull the guests." Shui Ling'er pushed Di Sheng to the market, and then said to Xiao Zhu: "Don't be idle, help me raise the fire." ”

Xiao Zhu looked at Di Sheng with a difficult face, and Di Sheng said, "You can help her." "For the sake of her being the future queen, she can't help but obey her words.

Half an hour later, the guests invited by Dickson were all coming for his appearance, and some even stole him.

Shui Ling'er happily sells fish, while Xiaozhu sells grilled fish on the side, and Dickson is dealing with the hungry and thirsty women.

In a moment, all the fish were sold, Shui Ling'er happily counted the silver, and Xiao Zhu also helped to count, completely forgetting that Di Sheng, who was still sacrificing hue next to him.

A woman who was nearly seventy years old, with only two front teeth left in one mouth, touched Dickson's face and said with a smile: "Childe, do you want to come to my house for the night tonight?" ”

Dickson hurriedly refused, saying, "I have something to do tonight." "Even if it's okay, say it's okay.

"Childe, when I was young, I was as beautiful as a flower than Shui Ling'er."

"Girl, I'm old enough to be your grandson, just let me go."

Shui Ling'er walked over with the silver and said, "Girl, we're closed, and we'll come back tomorrow." ”

The woman looked at Di Sheng reluctantly and said, "Okay, Childe, I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

After Di Sheng saw her go away, he said to Shui Ling'er with a difficult face: "You still want to sell fish tomorrow?" ”

Shui Ling'er looked at the bag of silver in her hand and said, "Of course, this is the first time I have earned silver according to the rules." ”

"Regular?" Di Sheng wondered, "Then how did you earn money before?" After saying that, he regretted that she had a rich brother, did she still need to earn money?

Shui Ling'er said without thinking: "I was a thief before. ”

Di Sheng was stunned, thieves are usually fierce and vicious men, and they have nothing to do with women like Shui Ling'er.

"It's hard to believe you're a thief."

"If we don't sell fish, we'll steal." When Shui Ling'er was selling fish, she heard that there was a famine in a small village not far from here, and the Queen Mother would soon go to the mountain temple in that village to worship the Buddha, and temporarily collect their taxes.

Oppressing the people like this is when she came out to do the right thing for heaven and rob the rich to help the poor.

Shui Ling'er told Di Sheng all the plans she had thought of, and also assigned him and Xiaozhu jobs.

After hearing this, Di Sheng hurriedly refused and said, "Shui Ling'er, this plan doesn't work!" Regardless of whether it is illegal for you to steal property, do you know that the object you want to steal is the Queen Mother! If you are caught, you will be beheaded all over the house. ”

"But she is the one who oppresses the people, and of course she will steal her."

"Nope." If she is allowed to steal it, if the emperor knows, he will definitely pick him up first.

"If we plan carefully, we won't be afraid of being caught."

Di Sheng knew that he couldn't talk to her, so he had to follow her first, and when Bai Yu came, he would find a way to stop her, he said: "Shui Ling'er, let's go to the village where the Queen Mother wants to worship the Buddha in the past few days to explore the terrain, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

Shui Ling'er thought what he said was reasonable, and said, "Okay, just do as you say." ”

"But we can't tell anyone about it, only we know." If she lets others know that things are big, it will be difficult to stop her from stealing the Queen Mother's property.

"Can't you tell Xiaohu?" Shui Ling'er wanted to find Xiaohu to help.

"Nope." Xiaohu is so persistent with Shui Ling'er, he is afraid that something bad will happen.

Shui Ling'er nodded understandingly.

After a few days, Shui Ling'er always said that she was going to sell fish, so she went out.

Ziyi and Xiaohu were suspicious, but after following her, they found that she really went to the mountains to catch fish to sell, so they didn't ask her more.

It had been a week since Di Sheng delivered the letter to the imperial capital, and Dongfang Yu and Bai Yu rode to the small village on the border.

They searched for the address on the letter and came to the end of the village.

As soon as Xiaohu came out of the door, he saw Dongfang Yu, and he was speechless in shock.

Dongfang Yu sneered and said, "Xiaohu, I haven't seen you since I sent you to Liang Country to bring Shui Ling'er back, and I don't see any of my other spies around you." ”

As soon as Xiaohu turned around, he was about to run, but Bai Yu stepped forward and grabbed him quickly, pinning him to the ground.

Dongfang Yu looked at Xiaohu for a moment, squatted down, looked at him horizontally, and said: "You, you are obsessed, Shui Ling'er has always regarded you as a childhood sweetheart, but you can't let go." ”

Xiaohu said excitedly: "What do you want to do?" ”

Dongfang Yu stood up and said with a sneer: "I'm not Situ Jing, I will let you dangle in front of Shui Ling'er, and I am worried that Shui Ling'er will be robbed by you, so it's better to come happily once and for all." ”

Xiaohu heard Dongfang Yu's meaning and kept struggling, but he was suppressed by Bai Yu and couldn't move.

Dongfang Yu pulled out the saber on his waist, stabbed at Xiaohu with a sword, and said, "I hate the person who betrayed me the most. ”

Xiaohu endured the pain and used his last strength to say, "Don't you want to touch Shui Ling'er!" After saying that, he died of anger.

Dongfang Yu took out a towel to wipe the blood on the sword, and said, "Bai Yu, bury Xiaohu, don't let people know that he is dead, especially Shui Ling'er." ”

"Yes."

Ziyi heard the movement outside, came out to inspect, and saw Dongfang Yu wiping the sword, Xiaohu was already dead and was being dragged to the side by Bai Yu, she probably understood what was going on, she didn't know much about it, walked to Dongfang Yu, saluted respectfully, and said, "The emperor is auspicious." ”

After she invited Dongfang Yu into the house, she made tea and began to tell in detail how to get Shui Ling'er to go to the Chu State.

After Dongfang Yu heard this, he said with satisfaction: "Ziyi, you have done a good job, you will follow Shui Ling'er in the future." ”

"Yes."

Dongfang Yu got up and walked back and forth in the house, he had seen it inside and outside the house, but he couldn't see Shui Ling'er's figure, and said, "What about Shui Ling'er?" ”

Ziyi knelt down in front of him and said, "Please forgive the emperor, Shui Ling'er has gone to sell fish." ”

"Selling fish?" Dongfang Yu chuckled and said, "It's indeed what she will do, where is she selling fish?" ”

"The village next door."

Dongfang Yu nodded lightly and walked out of the house.

Bai Yu followed behind and said, "Please forgive the emperor, it was Wei Chen's subordinates who did not do well and asked Miss Shui Ling'er to sell fish." "Di Sheng is also a smart man, and he doesn't understand how he could let the future queen do such a rough job.

"What Shui Ling'er wants to do, Dickson can't stop her." Dongfang Yu was in a happy mood and walked towards the village next door.

Half an hour later, as soon as they reached the entrance of the village, they saw a group of people around a makeshift stage, on which Di Sheng and Shui Ling'er were dancing in heavy makeup, and under the stage, Xiao Zhu was selling tea and grilled fish to a famous audience.

Dongfang Yu said relaxedly: "Bai Yu, you said that this fish is sold to dance on the stage, it's really special." ”

Bai Yu said respectfully: "Please forgive me." He saw that the dance they were dancing was still the signature dance of Narcissus Tower.

"Let's go have some fun." Dongfang Yu walked to the crowd of onlookers with a smile on his face.

Xiao Zhu didn't pay attention to the comer, and stepped forward and said, "This guest, tea and grilled fish, five taels of silver." When he raised his head and was about to reach out to collect the money, he was stunned, the person in front of him was the emperor, and the white feather with an iron face behind him.
