Chapter 4: A Heroine Who Keeps Her Promise Enters the Capital (1)
Luoyang peony flowers are in full bloom, and there are many people who crowd in Luoyang City to enjoy the flowers. Dignitaries, literati and scholars, rangers, local and foreign, squeezed Luoyang City to the ground. However, on this day, none of the beggars in Luoyang City who loved to join in the fun appeared......
At noon, the sun is especially strong.
Luo Xiyuan took off his jacket, still felt hot, and after pacing back and forth in the house countless times, as if he was angry with someone, he took off his embroidered shoes and socks angrily, threw them on the ground, and then walked barefoot into the courtyard.
There was a big swing hanging under the old elm tree, and the peonies of all colors were blooming very delicately and eye-catching, but Luo Xiyuan had no heart to appreciate their beauty at the moment.
She's, already, been locked up for seven days!!
The only place she can move is the wing room at the back and this small courtyard, and even the roof has been guarded by the master. In addition to practicing every day, I sleep, and three meals, meals and tea are all sent in from outside.
There was a faint breeze under the old elm tree, and she felt a little more comfortable, reached out and grabbed the swing cord, and sat on tiptoe.
"Knock knock!"
After a knock on the door, a little beggar of twelve or thirteen years old walked in at the gate of the courtyard.
The little beggar held a heavy wooden basket in his hand, and hurried through the courtyard to the wings.
"Come here, what's in your hand?"
Luo Xiyuan beckoned to the little beggar.
When the little beggar heard this, he glanced towards Luoxi Garden.
I saw the girl sitting on the swing, her eyebrows were green and green, her face was like clotted fat, her lips were like cherries, and a pair of delicate and bare feet were swaying with the swing. The sunlight leaked through the gaps in the elm leaves, mottled and dappled on the snow-white, soft bare feet, and shook the little beggar's eyes.
"Senior sister, eat peaches!"
The little beggar cried out sweetly, and then took out a large peach from the basket.
Luo Xiyuan took the peach in his hand and took a bite, and asked with a smile, "How old are you this year?" How long have you been in the Beggar Gang? ”
The little beggar found that the fairy-like senior sister was staring at him, and his heart was excited, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Back to Senior Sister, my name is Ma Sinian, and I have been helping the rudder to do things, and I have only recently been transferred to the chief rudder! I'm going to be 12 years old this year......"
Luo Xiyuan smiled and nodded.
It turned out to be a newcomer, no wonder not only did she dare to come over, but she would also blush at every turn when talking to her. Although she was the only woman in the beggar gang, under the strict control of the master and uncle, the rest of the brothers and sisters always abided by their duties when they saw her, and never dared to cross the thunder pool by half a step.
"This peach you sent is delicious, so sweet! What have the gang leaders and the Great Elder been busy with lately? I haven't seen them in a long time......"
Luo Xiyuan had already eaten half of the peaches in his hand, and looked at Ma Sinian's makeup and asked with an unintentional smile.
"The Yellow River flooded, the gang leader set off from Luoyang overnight yesterday, and the great elder ......"
Ma Sinian smiled at Luo Xiyuan, forgetting what to say and what not to say for a while. When I thought about it, the most critical and unspeakable information had already been transmitted, and I was immediately embarrassed and red.
"Pony, is my sister good-looking?"
Luo Xiyuan threw the peach pit in his hand casually, and asked Ma Sinian, who was looking at him blankly, with a smile.
"Good...... Good looking......"
Ma Sinian snorted, his face crimson extending to the base of his ear.
"But my sister hasn't dressed up for several days...... Have you ever seen my maid Tsubaki bud? Can you help my sister ask her to come over and help me get dressed? ”
Luo Xiyuan looked sad and didn't look at him, just hung his head and dangled the swing listlessly.
"Senior sister, don't be sad, I'll look for it!"
"Okay, in the future, you will come to give peaches to my senior sister every day!"
Luo Xiyuan was relieved when he saw him, so he jumped off the swing and took the fruit basket in his hand.
"Give me this, you go now, go back quickly!"
"Good ......"
Seeing the little beggar Ma Sinian leave, Luo Xiyuan hurriedly went back to the room to pack his luggage, changed into a set of men's clothes, and covered his hair with a hat.
After a cup of tea, Tsubaki Ya hurriedly walked into the house from outside the court.
When she saw Luo Xiyuan's dress, she was a little puzzled.
"The brother who guarded the door has been blocking him for the past few days, and he can't see the girl, which is really sad......"
"Don't talk about this, I'm going north to the capital to see the eldest brother, you will sort out the silver ticket title deed given by the eldest brother later, and you may use it in the capital!"
Luo Xiyuan tightened the brocade belt around his waist and said anxiously.
Tsubaki Ya looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "The guards in the gang are strict these times, how did the girl escape?" ”
When Luo Xiyuan heard this, he smiled and beckoned to Tsubaki Ya.
Seeing this, Tsubaki Ya hurriedly listened with her ear.
After speaking, Tsubaki's frowning eyebrows stretched out.
She smiled and blessed Luoxi Garden, turned around and hurriedly walked out of the house, and after a while she went out of the courtyard.
……
After an hour, Chunya walked into the small courtyard of Luoxi Garden with some pastries, followed by an older beggar disciple.
Tsubaki nodded secretly to Luo Xiyuan.
Luo Xiyuan smiled and took a piece of pastry and ate it.
"Xu Fuji's begonia cake is delicious, and I've been hungry for a few days!"
As he spoke, he took another piece of cake and handed it to the elderly beggar disciple.
The disciple hurriedly bowed and took a step back, and said, "Little junior sister, the senior uncle said, please cultivate with peace of mind, don't think about some side thoughts!" ”
Luo Xiyuan snorted, glanced at him, and another piece of begonia cake went down.
She was about to reach for a third cake to eat, but she paused.
Suddenly, she rolled on the ground with her stomach tightly clutched, shouting "It hurts!" It hurts me to death! ”。
Tsubaki Ya and the old beggar hurried to help her to inspect her, but they saw that she was covered in sweat, her lips were blue, and her face was as pale as paper.
Tsubaki Ya hugged her and immediately began to cry, saying, "Girl, don't scare me......"
The old beggar was also panicked, and shouted again and again: "Come on! The little junior sister is poisoned! ”
Suddenly, dozens of people came in the small courtyard and surrounded Luoxi Garden. In the end, Chang Ting, who strode with a meteor, pushed through the crowd, came to Luoxi Garden to inspect it, and listened quietly on her pulse for a while.
"What did she just eat?"
After hearing the pulse, Chang Ting's face turned ugly, and his eyes scanned everyone's faces coldly.
"The slave should die, the girl shouted to eat Xu Fuji's begonia cake for the first half of the day, and the slave went to buy it, and just ate two pieces, who would have thought that it would be poisonous......"
Tsubaki Ya was so frightened that "Poof" fell to her knees and replied in a trembling voice.
"This pastry ......"
Chang Ting's eyes looked at Chunya's resentful eyes and was about to erupt into flames, and before he could shout a word, he heard Luo Xiyuan crying out in pain in Chunya's arms, his eyes were slightly open, and his whole consciousness was about to disperse.
"Uncle Shi, Zhao'er, belly...... It hurts......"
Listening to Luo Xiyuan's hard cry of pain, the eyes of the common anxious were red.
"Don't be afraid, Uncle Shi will find you a doctor to show you right away......"
Seeing that Chang Ting was already panicked, Chun Yafang snorted and said, "The slave only knows where Divine Doctor Wu lives......
"Don't lead the way yet!"
Thunder roared.
