Meng Yuyun still walked to the old place this time, but just halfway through, he was blocked by an old man and a young man. As soon as Meng Yuyun saw that someone had stopped her, she was afraid that she would be the same as last time, so she hurriedly protected the burden behind her, staring at them with some fear.

"Girl, I'm so sorry! Those children robbed you of your food two days ago, old man, I came to apologize to you this time! The man who said this was an old beggar, with his gray hair neat, and his eyes sunken into his sockets.

He was carrying a burden in his hand, Meng Yuyun took it and gave a rough look, it was some sun-dried medicinal herbs.

"I accept your apology, but I can't ask for this gift." Meng Yuyun pushed back, the expression on her face was very serious.

"Actually, those kids are very well-behaved." The old beggar said, wiping away his tears, "At a young age, you have to live on your own, and the food you beg for will not be swallowed alone, but will be taken to the yard for everyone to eat." ”

Meng Yuyun lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

These rotten leaves, in fact, she just found a place to throw them away. It is also common to be picked up by beggars, but it is better to give it directly to these beggars, which can be regarded as a good deed.

Meng Yuyun hesitated for a moment, according to Luo Niang's cautious temperament, if she knew, maybe she would ask them for money.

"Little girl, don't worry, old man, I have already taught those little rabbit cubs a lesson, and they won't dare in the future."

Meng Yuyun looked at the old beggar's thin and weak appearance, and felt a little unbearable in her heart, she lowered her head and thought about the consequences.

"Big sister, brother, they're not bad people!" The little girl looked a head shorter than Meng Yuyun, about seven or eight years old, and she was dressed quite cleanly. She supported the old beggar, and her watery eyes were very bright.

"I know." When Meng Yuyun said this, the back of her head hurt inexplicably, and she smiled and rubbed the little girl's hair.

"Grandpa, take these dishes." Meng Yuyun glanced at the rotten leaves.

"No, I don't want it, old man!" The old beggar firmly refused, and took the little girl's hand and turned to leave.

The little girl made a fuss, she grabbed the corner of Meng Yuyun's clothes and refused to leave, she said, "Why don't you grandpa?" Hello sister, we should take it! ”

Maybe in the eyes of others, this girl is unreasonable, and she doesn't know how thick the sky is. But Meng Yuyun looked at it, but she felt a little sad inexplicably. At a young age, the child knows that she is not unreasonable, she is forced by fate to become a high-minded and arrogant girl.

The old beggar felt ashamed, stood up straight with a straight face, he shook off the little girl's hand, and said coldly: "What are you making trouble? Isn't there a shame? How did I teach you? Forgot all? ”

The little girl's eyes were red, her hands were still tightly gripping the corners of Meng Yuyun's clothes, she choked and said, "Grandpa, I just don't want to be hungry, and I don't want grandpa to be hungry."

Not wanting to go hungry, what a simple and crude reason. Meng Yuyun subconsciously looked at the old beggar, he didn't know when his eyes were red, maybe he felt that he was too strict, and trembled with a pair of hands to touch the little girl's head.

"It's grandpa who can't stand Qiaoniu......" The old beggar's voice seemed to come from the depths of his soul, and fell heavily into Meng Yuyun's ears.

The old beggar's surname is Xu, and his name is Xu Laogen. Qiaoniu followed the old beggar's surname, and she was picked up by the old beggar.

Meng Yuyun originally thought that the family of the old man and the young man and the little beggar a few days ago really arrived at the dilapidated thatched house where they lived, and Meng Yuyun found that this was a village, and almost all the people in the village were beggars.

Seeing Meng Yuyun, the beggars didn't react much, just stared at the old beggar's flat shoulder full of rotten vegetable leaves.

When they rushed up, Meng Yuyun turned her head and looked at the village silently. Chang'an is the imperial capital, and at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it should be rich according to reason, but it is a barren place, and everyone lives by begging.

She casually caught a glimpse of the three heads poking out from behind the thatched hut, which looked like the beggars robbing her. When they saw Meng Yuyun, they found themselves peeking and hurriedly hid, as if they were afraid that Meng Yuyun would settle accounts with them.

"Grandpa Xu, since there are so many people in this village, why don't you rely on yourself and do farm work to make a living?" Meng Yuyun grabbed Xu Laogen and asked the question in his heart.

"Hey, you're still doing farm work! We don't have any land, so what kind of farm work do we do? People like us have grown up in this village since childhood, don't you know yet? We are a beggar's village here, and it is famous for a hundred miles, even if you go out to find a job to do, no one wants it. ”

Meng Yuyun didn't speak again, she helped Xu Laogen chop up the rotten vegetable leaves, put half a bowl of coarse rice, and boiled it into a pot of green vegetable porridge with water. It's really far-fetched to say that it's porridge.

Xu Laogen beckoned Meng Yuyun to eat it too, Meng Yuyun shook his head and said that he had eaten it, and the old man also knew that he was pig food in the eyes of others, so he didn't say anything more.

He set up the dishes and chopsticks, and shouted Qiao Niu'er to call her brother to eat.

The three boys saw that Meng Yuyun was a little cowering, and the old man yelled angrily to eat, so they stretched their legs and ran to squat on the ground with a bowl to eat. In this cramped thatched hut, there was not even a small bench.

There was a blanket on the innermost floor, and a tattered quilt on top of it. Meng Yuyun looked at it and couldn't help frowning, she didn't look down on these people, she herself was begging. It's just that she had a good life, and she found a serious job in only two or three days.

"That's all we have here, don't dislike it." Xu Laogen was a little cramped and uneasy.

Meng Yuyun calmed down, it turned out that her frowning appearance had already entered Xu Laogen's sight, this old man was afraid that his own conditions were poor, which made her disgusted.

"Nope." Meng Yuyun shook her head.

When she left, she told Liu Laogen that she would send it tomorrow, and when Liu Laogen heard it, he immediately burst into tears and shouted his benefactor again and again.

When Meng Yuyun walked back with the burden, she kept thinking that power and money are really good things, without these, she wouldn't even be able to live as a person.

She went back to the building and took the initiative to help the grandmother who was cleaning in the front yard, and some men pulled the girl on her lap and put her hands up and down, touching them and laughing coquettishly. Meng Yuyun's wooden appearance made those girls feel bored, they squinted their eyes and sneered, but the left just said that she looked ugly and was an eyesore.

There were uneaten pastries on some tables, and Meng Yuyun took advantage of Grandma's lack of attention, and quickly took them into her arms. She thought that Xu Qiaoniu was young and wanted to grow her body, how could she always eat those rotten vegetable leaves, but she forgot that she was still a child herself. This kind of psychological maturity is destined for her to live a difficult life.

On the second day, when Meng Yuyun went to deliver rotten vegetable leaves, she met her sweetheart, who was wearing a head-catching dress, and his delicate face looked a little righteous.

He recognized Meng Yuyun, and when he saw Meng Yuyun carrying such a heavy burden, he hurriedly went up and took it. While helping Meng Yuyun carry the burden, he asked, "Where are these lost?" ”

"Western suburbs, beggar's village."

When Lu Shang heard her words, he stopped and stared at her eyes with some surprise. Meng Yuyun smiled and looked back with her eyes, not at all empty.

After a while, Lu Shang thoughtfully retracted his gaze and raised his legs and walked up again. He turned his face sideways to look at Meng Yuyun, "Aren't you afraid that Luo Niang knows?" ”

Meng Yuyun smiled and asked, "Will you say it?" ”

"Naturally not."

"And what am I afraid of?" Meng Yuyun carefully took out a piece of dim sum wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms, which she still asked for from Wanhua, and it was embroidered with Du Ruohua.

Obviously, Lu Shang also recognized it. Meng Yuyun smiled and teased: "This veil is a little dirty, I don't know if you want it?" ”

Lu Shang hurriedly replied: "Naturally, I want it."

Xu Laogen obviously didn't expect Meng Yuyun to really send the food over again, he thought that Meng Yuyun was just talking, after all, the tatters of this village are really unbearable.

Seeing that Meng Yuyun sent the dishes over, Xu Laogen was excited. He bent down and thanked him repeatedly, and Meng Yuyun opened the veil little by little, revealing a few delicate snacks.

She smiled and handed it to Qiao Niu, "Take it and eat it as a snack." ”

Qiaoniu hadn't eaten such a good thing at first glance, so she took a piece and bit the corner, and put it away with her hands and feet.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Meng Yuyun asked.

"Keep it for grandpa and brother."

"They're all pathetic, aren't they?" Meng Yuyun caught a glimpse of pity in Lu Shang's eyes, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Lu Shang nodded, admiring this little girl more and more in his heart, not only acting neatly and neatly, but also having a seven-trick exquisite heart.

The news of the emperor's decree to marry the king of Zhennan has spread all over Chang'an, but the protagonist is holding the book and chanting poems to the moon.

"That old man is on his feet, he's clearly interfering beside you!" Tang Qingyou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but this party was indifferent and light-hearted, which made him feel a little frustrated.

The moonlight was cast on the book, Qin Jingan looked at the black pressure on the book, and the dense words couldn't help but chuckle, "That Su Yue is a concubine, she has been bullied since she was a child, and now she is a pawn in the struggle for imperial power, maybe she is not willing!" Women, be gentle with her, won't it be backwater? ”

"What if she doesn't turn back?"

Qin Jing'an narrowed his eyes, "Then find a time...... Except for her. ”

“…… That's what you said, too! Tang Qingyou looked at the man at the window with some hesitation, he could see that the little girl of the Meng family was not easy to use.

"What do you want to say?" Qin Jing'an put down the book, raised his hands, and stretched his waist elegantly.

"The Meng family actually has nothing worth using, why not let that little girl go?" In fact, there is the second half of the sentence, Tang Qingyou's eyes are complicated, and the half of the sentence that reaches the mouth of his throat is held back.

"Leave her alone?" Qin Jing'an chuckled and looked at her for a long time, "Let her go, who will let me go?" ”
