Seeing the expression on Li Yuan's face, Mu Xi couldn't help but smile.

I have to say that if a pleasing beauty smiles in front of you, even if you were in a bad mood and wanted to kill before, you can become much happier with such a smile.

At least that's how the two people laughing face to face now feel.

The old man looked at the two of them smiling face to face, and the affection on his face softened, and said to Li Yuan: "Young man, this girl likes Xiao Hei so much, she must be a good person, you must cherish this girl." ”

The old man may not be able to speak louder because his ears are not very bright.

So what he said to Li Yuan, not only Li Yuan, but also Mu Xi heard it clearly.

When Mu Xi heard this, he thought of the things he had done in Li Yuan in the past two days, and he inevitably felt a little unstable in his heart.

On the contrary, it was Li Yuan, after hearing this, he looked at the old man frankly and said: "Such a good girl, even if you don't say it to the old man, I will cherish it, not to mention, I like her very much." ”

"Although she doesn't like me, it doesn't matter, I will always be behind her and watch over her."

"If she needs me in the future, I will always be the first to appear in front of her."

These words, Li Yuan seemed to have said to Mu Xi, and the tone of his voice carried some seriousness and some feelings that he couldn't say anything.

Mu Xi was just about to say something to Li Yuan, Li Yuan said: "I know you don't feel that way for me, but I do like you, not so much that I like you, but that you are a person who appears in my life, my favorite." ”

"People come to me either for money, for power, or just to take advantage of me."

"But you're different, you're my little daughter-in-law."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan even smiled, and the expression on his face became a little uncertain.

Maybe it was because Li Yuan was standing beside the old man, and Mu Xi suddenly recorded this picture forever for some reason.

In the picture, one is old and one is young, one is in his prime, and the other is already an old man.

In the picture, one is dressed in brocade and the other is sewn with patches.

If there is anything to be added to the picture at this time, it should be that the little guy should be lazily lying next to Li Yuan, and the kitten on his body should be sitting next to the old man.

In an era, two different characters, there are too many differences between the characters.

From their identity backgrounds to their various differences, the two can be said to represent the two most extreme characters of an era.

The old man remembered ordinary people like him, so he set up a small stall at the end of the alley, which carried his own life and provided a warm and comfortable place for these small lives.

The little guy ate something, jumped off Mu Xi's lap, walked towards the old man, and rubbed it on the old man's body.

The old man bent down with difficulty and gently picked up the cat. "How many times have you said that, huh?" Don't go and cause trouble to the guests, it's the last time, next time it's like this, I won't give you dried fish. ”

Mu Xi, who looked at the old man with a serious appearance, couldn't help laughing, and the little guy didn't know whether to beg for mercy or be coquettish, so he screamed twice.

The old man looked at Mu Xi with some apologies, Mu Xi shook his head and asked, "How long has the old man been here?" ”

Listening to Mu Xi's question, the old man smiled and moved a small bench and sat down, and said, "It's been a long time, I've been here since I couldn't be a buddy in the store, and if I have to say it, it should have been about ten years ago." ”

At that time, the capital was very lively and prosperous, so that in places like ours, we could hear a group of people passing by, and they were busy and friends in groups to go to nearby restaurants.

At that time, we were not so strict here, and often even in the middle of the night, a large group of sons and brothers were drinking outside.

But now I can't see it, and now every family is afraid that there will be some people who are not doing their jobs properly, and everyone will take advantage of the night when everyone is asleep, and every family will steal.

There are even the kind of people who can grab things on the street, what they couldn't see before, they thought they couldn't see it even more when they were old, but now they see much more than the young Hou sees.

There's no way, I can't live, everyone can't live, I have a small stall like me, and it's not easy to survive.

But there are still many people, there are so many people who can't recruit workers in various places, and they can't afford to go to private schools, so they can only find ways to steal and rob.

At the risk of being caught and killed, you have to steal and rob.

There's no way, if you don't steal or rob, you can survive and not starve to death, who wants to do those things like stealing chickens and dogs?

The old man sighed, indeed, now even the capital, even the feet of the Son of Heaven are like this.

Not to mention those places where officials can't control it, people in those places are even more arrogant and disobedient to discipline, and the road to the imperial examination is getting more and more difficult.

With the grain given by the official family, and the silver taels given by the official family, he became more and more degenerate, more and more degenerate, and he could only try his best not to be eaten alive by this cannibalistic dynasty, and there was no flesh and blood left.

People who steal chickens and dogs are not willing to live in this world openly, and they are not willing to eat the food they earn with their labor openly.

Even the capital is like this, not to mention other places that people can't see?

The government collects countless taxes every year, and the farmers have to work hard to earn money in order to have a meal.

But when will the taxes be paid? worked hard, worked hard to earn money, and in the end, even eating a full meal became an unattainable luxury.

Such days are all looking forward to the day when those people in the high walls will live in their own world, singing and dancing, drinking and singing.

Everything seems peaceful and enjoyable, but no one can see how many people are struggling to survive and how many people are struggling to eat in the same world.

It has been like this since ancient times, dignitaries and nobles enjoy their own wine and food, Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, it has always been like this, but under the rule of this absurd emperor, everything has become more excessive.
