Chapter 8 Over the Wall and on the Street

It is said that the officials have stayed in the Imperial Court in recent months, and have been at odds with the Central Plains Emperor about how to deal with border matters after the war. Dr. Zuo and Li Yi responded in advance, and wrote a letter to apologize. So this huge mansion left some warblers, swallows, and daughters.

I was bored to stay here, so I was about to go out into the street, but I didn't expect a maid-like person to say to me: "How can you, a military prostitute, enter and leave the mansion casually?" Be honest, the lord and the general were relieved to let you live here, so you can give me some measure. Hmph, dressed so flamboyantly, who do you want to go out and seduce? ”

The girl in green gave me a blank look, and I felt a raging anger pressing down on my heart. Absolutely can't be mad, absolutely can't do it, I'm now a parasitic person, and I'm no longer the willful Zanghu princess I was before.

When the maid was gone, I was so angry that I stamped my feet and crossed my waist and scolded, "What about the military prostitute! You're no better than me! ”

I decided to go over the wall!

Luckily, the walls around the courtyard where we lived were not very high, so I brought a chair from the house, climbed up the tree first, and then jumped down through the branches, and whether or not I would break it was a matter later.

I clung to the branches of the tree, which shook a few times, and then a bunch of fallen leaves fell on me. With great effort, he finally reached the top of the wall, supported by his arms, and slowly slid down.

I accidentally fell down with a "plop" sound, but it didn't hurt as much as I felt, as if it was pressed against something soft, and I touched underneath.

"Hey! You rascal, you! Get up, it's killing me! ”

I jumped to my feet, the man was dressed in a brown shirt, and he stood up and patted the clothes, like a teenager my size. With a fair face and a clear face, the golden glow sprinkled on his body through the branches, outlining his long body.

Are all the men in the Central Plains so handsome?

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

We spoke it out at the same time.

At this time, the maid just now came over with a basket of clothes that should have been washed: "Yo, isn't this a military prostitute under General Jinwu's camp," she bowed to the young man again, "The slave maid has seen General Li." ”

Another General Lee? By the way, Li Mo said before that he was the second oldest in the family, and the person in front of him must be his younger brother Li Mo.

The young man frowned and said, "What's the matter with you, hurry up and get rid of this stinky thing!" ”

The maid didn't seem to expect the young man to take him away like this, and said stupidly: "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid will leave." When I left, I didn't forget to glance at me, and I glared back without admitting defeat. This dead girl must be a white-eyed wolf in her first life!

I thought that I had nothing to do, so I was about to quickly find the exit and leave, but the young man followed me and blocked my way: "Where are you going in such a hurry, you haven't answered my question yet!" Are you really a military prostitute? ”

"So what? Isn't it? I crossed my hands.

The boy scratched his head and said, "I always feel as if I've seen you somewhere......"

"What if you've seen me? What if you haven't seen me? I continued.

"You're such an interesting woman, what's your name?" I saw his innocent and harmless look, and I really felt that such a young person could be a general who fought in the south and the north, and sure enough, the Li family army was not in vain.

"My name is Xingyue."

"The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and the rivers flow. Well, that's a good name! He said to himself, "My name is Li Mo." ”

"Then General Li, can I go?"

"With such a big mansion, how can you get out alone? Let's go, I'll take you! ”

He grabbed my wrist and I had to run all the way to catch up with him. A few maids passing by looked at us from time to time, and then whispered something underneath. By the time we ran out of the mansion, we were already sweating profusely, and the beads of sweat would flow in strings as long as we stayed outside for a short time in the middle of summer, let alone run like this.

Li Mo looked at me and said, "There is a store in the east of the city that specializes in ice food, and I will take you to eat kumquat snow bubbles!" I wiped my forehead with my sleeve and nodded at him panting with my tongue out.

The street is really lively, with pedestrians, shops on both sides, and brilliant sunlight pouring on this piece of red bricks and green tiles. The plump singer in the restaurant leaned on her cheeks and watched the crowd coming and going on the road, sometimes playing a pipa, sometimes singing a song with her throat unbearable; The steaming steamed bun shop, the dazzling grate shop, and the jewelry shop were all displayed in front of me; The women held bamboo baskets in their hands, fell to the ground in long clothes, and their slender and white fingers picked at this and that......

I looked at it in amazement, but I didn't think I could see enough.

Li Mo patted my head: "Why are you like someone who has never seen the world." ”

"I grew up in the frontier area, and I've never been in the Central Plainsβ€”wow! What is that! "I pointed to a crowded area where a couple of chicken coops with chickens were set aside.

"That's cockfighting, what's the point of that, when you get to Shangdu, there will be more fun, and you can see curly-haired and blue-eyed Persians and big food merchants with camels and white scarves on their heads on the streets."

I have seen people from the Western Regions who came to Zanghu, but at this time I am more looking forward to the Yanyu Jiangnan in the picture scroll, and the Shangjing City that has been fascinated by countless literati and scholars. How prosperous that must be!

"This is it."

Coming to our senses, we went into a shop and picked a seat to sit down.

"Little Er, two bowls of kumquat snow bubbles!"

"Okay!" The shopkeeper in the cloth skirt threw the towel over his shoulder, and immediately disappeared into the noisy crowd with a neat and refreshing sound.

The shop was spacious, and each table was only two arm's length apart, and I waved my hand at the smell of sweat wafting from the bearded big brother next to me. It didn't take long for the people inside to be packed, so a long line formed outside. It can be seen that the business of this store is very hot.

"Let me tell you, this shop is the most famous ice food restaurant in Lanzhou City, and its reputation has overshadowed that of Shangdu!" So he started to talk to me about the characteristics of the shop, the history and so on.

"Two guest officers, kumquat snow bubbles are here! Slow use for two digits. ”

Wow! The juicy flesh of the orange has been shaved off, and the thin and finely chopped snow is shiny with honey on top. I scooped a spoonful and stuffed it into my mouth, and the cold pleasure suddenly spread from my mouth to my whole body, sweet but not greasy, refreshing!

"It's delicious! It's even better than milk lumps! ”

After I finished a bowl of dry, Li Mo greeted loudly again: "Little Er! Two more bowls of chamomile cold pottery and sugar ice and snow cold yuanzi! ”

"Hey, eating like this will hurt your spleen and stomach." I want to stop him.

"General Ben finally waited for Huaixia, this time I must eat enough! Otherwise, I'm sorry for my mouth! I nodded vigorously at him and gave him a thumbs up.

And so we started the ice food war again.

After a full burp, Li Mo slapped the table: "I have made up your friend!" ”

I looked at him with a big belly and a funny smile: "Wouldn't it make you feel ashamed to make friends with me, a military prostitute?" ”

"What about military prostitutes, if you don't like this identity, it's not impossible to wait until I have a weak crown and marry you as a second-room wife." He said solemnly, as if marrying a wife was a matter of bare hands, and it had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

I "cut", who is rare to be a second-room lady.

"You don't even like me?" He leaned closer and asked, "Could it be that you like my second brother more?" ”

I stared at him with wide eyes: "Who's who- who likes your second brother!" Don't mess around here. ”

He said thoughtfully: "Also, my second brother is a hero and a hero among the people, which ordinary woman can deserve." Besides, my second brother has already had a good match, and I estimate that this time the class teacher returns to the court, he will soon marry Princess Changle. By the way, have you ever seen our wedding ceremony? It was a lively roof, with guns and cannons, and red lanterns to open the way......"

I didn't listen to what he said later, but I felt a little dull in my heart.

When we left the store, it was still full of people outside. In the midst of the crowd, a beggar and a beggar each begged for a worn-out wooden bowl, accompanied by a girl in ragged clothes who had been blindfolded with a white ribbon, perhaps with an eye disease.

The beggar said with a crying voice: "Please, have mercy on us, my granddaughter is blind when she urinates, and my son died young, you can do well......"

Suddenly, the little girl was knocked to the ground, and the white ribbon also fell, and the girl's eyes were covered with blood, but she could clearly see her eyes roll a few times. The beggar staggered over and picked up the little girl, and then brought her the white silk to put on.

I knew at a glance that it was a deception, so I stepped forward and took off the white ribbon, and the beggar looked at me in horror, and then cried out with the beggar in pretended grievance, "My grandsonβ€”"

I squatted down in front of the little girl and whispered to her, "Little friend, sister, I have rock sugar gourds here, look!" ”

Sure enough, the little girl immediately opened her eyes, and Li Mo was secretly smiling on the side.

More and more people gathered around the place, constantly pointing fingers at the beggars. When the second elder saw that there were more people, his face was embarrassed and embarrassed, and he pulled the child away with a weak heart.

"Wait a minuteβ€”" I took them by the shoulder, took out the bag of money that the maid had given me earlier, and handed it to the beggar.

"Old woman, it's not right to cheat people to get money, not to mention that you are still pulling a little doll who doesn't understand the world, which is even more wrong. Good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, God has eyes, so take this money and buy some clothes and food for your children. ”

The second elder thanked him a few times in shame and left in a hurry. At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted "yes", and everyone began to applaud in an instant. Are they complimenting me? I scratched my head a little embarrassed, but it was just a matter of handwork.

I breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the street with Li Mo.

"You're really wise and martial just now!" He patted me on the shoulder.

"Whereever, no more wise and powerful than you, a general."

"Seriously, it's been a long time since I've met someone as interesting as you. I spent the whole day either practicing in the barracks or spending my days in the house. Now after the first battle of Zanghu, my army arrived in Lanzhou City a little earlier than my second brother, and I entered this mansion a little earlier, but there is still no one to talk to, so I am really bored. ”

As soon as he mentioned the word Zang Hu, my heart began to ache faintly.

"That's... DID YOU KNOW... Who killed King Hu ......"
