Chapter 17 It's Aunt Again
Ah Liu thought to herself, and when she came back to her senses, she found that Miss was gone, and she immediately looked everywhere in shock, for fear that she would leave herself and go into trouble again, until she saw Miss in front of a small vendor selling sugar gourds on the street, and then she was relieved.
Ah Liu patted his little heart as if he was the rest of his life, and walked towards Mu Xianxian.
"Uncle, let's have a bunch of ...... No, two strings, or three strings, three strings of sugar gourds!" Mu Xianxian smiled brightly at the vendor and gestured his fingers.
In fact, Mu Xianxian is obsessed with sugar gourds, when she was in the orphanage, she could often see the small cart selling sugar gourds outside the fence, and there were sugar gourds made of various fruits in the small window, but she felt that the hawthorn looked the most delicious, and the red was delicate.
But in the orphanage, no one has the sympathy to buy her sugar gourds, and the black-hearted orphanage can be regarded as the New Year if they can feed the children, let alone buy her sugar gourds.
Later, a child was adopted, and the family bought a few strings of sugar gourds and distributed them to the children when they came to pick up the children. But the sweet and sour taste has always been remembered by her.
After a few years of physical maturity, she found out that the people in the orphanage were planning to sell her organs, so she stole wine and lighters to burn the orphanage, let the children go, and escaped herself. After going out, she was adopted by a retired veteran, who trained her according to military management, never treated her as a little girl, and eating snacks or something was even more luxurious, so when she lived independently, she ate sugar gourd with an open stomach, and only restrained her toothache when she ate it, but she would still eat a few strings a month to make up for the obsession that she couldn't ask for in childhood.
The old man is old, he doesn't know much about the gossip in the city, and he doesn't know who Mu Xianxian is, so he just thinks of him as a young and lively lady, so he took three strings of sugar gourds and handed them to Mu Xianxian with a smile.
Mu Xianxian stretched out her hand to take it and said with a smile, "Thank you, uncle," she saw Ah Liu who came to her side again, "Ah Liu, give the money quickly!"
Ah Liu helplessly took out three copper plates from his money bag and handed them to the old man.
The people who were quietly watching and paying attention to Mu Xianxian were a little surprised, this eldest lady of the Mu family was actually thanking an old man who sold sugar gourds with a pleasant face?
In a private room in Wanfu Pavilion on the side of the street, a man in white was sitting by the window drinking tea and watching the scenery, and he noticed Mu Xianxian at a glance, and he looked at it casually, and then he was amazed for a moment.
Washed all the lead, plain and elegant, wearing a light blue dress with a simple bun, it is indescribably fresh and refined.
I hadn't noticed it before, Mu Xianxian still had such an elegant appearance, but it's no wonder that few people who used to wear heavy makeup should be able to see her appearance.
Mu Xianxian took three strings of sugar gourds, gave one to Ah Liu, and took one string in one hand, and after a while, only bamboo sticks remained.
The streets were bustling with people, and in a while, there were already many more people than when they first came out.
Mu Xianxian and Ah Liu were squeezed into the crowd, not to mention shopping, they were about to be squeezed apart.
Ah Liu squeezed through several talents and followed Mu Xianxian again, wiping a handful of sweat, "Why are there so many people today, the slave almost can't find Miss!"
Mu Xianxian raised her eyebrows, "Is there any activity?"
Ah Liu rolled his eyes, "Miss, you are waiting here, the slave maid is going to ask!" Ah Liu ran to a small stall, bought a small thing, and chatted with the seller on the street.
After a few words, Ah Liu's face became very angry, and the whole person came back with a huff.
"Miss, she's gone too far!"
Mu Xianxian was stunned, "What's wrong? What did you say?" This girl was fine when she went, why was she so angry when she came back, didn't she go to ask about the activities on the street?
"Miss, it's Aunt Huang! Aunt Huang is really too much! Today is actually the day when the general returns to Beijing! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already gone to the city gate to greet him! The entire general's mansion must be holding a reception banquet for the general, but that Aunt Huang didn't tell us anything! This is obviously deliberate! When the time comes for the general to go home, if you don't go to the door to greet you, Miss, the general will definitely be a little unhappy in his heart, and Aunt Huang's mind is too bad!" Ah Liu said with righteous indignation, as if the person who was wronged was herself.
If you want her to say, Aunt Huang's heart is simply bad, the general was still injured on the battlefield this time, if the young lady didn't pick it up like this, the general would definitely think that the young lady didn't understand the rules, and outsiders would feel more and more that the young lady was so domineering that she didn't even pay attention to her father!
Mu Xianxian couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she thought something was wrong, it turned out to be this.
She was about to comfort Ah Liu in turn, but before she could say anything, Ah Liu grabbed her hand.
Ah Liu couldn't get angry in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he immediately took Mu Xianxian's hand and was about to turn around and walk back, "No, Miss, let's come out another day, now let's go back to the house immediately!
"Wait," Mu Xianxian stood still and grabbed Ah Liu, "Can't we go directly to the city gate to take a look, I haven't seen the grand occasion of the general's return to Beijing!"
"This ......" Ah Liu hesitated, she hadn't seen it yet, the general Quansheng returned to Beijing, the scene must have been extremely grand, and she really wanted to see it, but she still felt that it was inappropriate after thinking about it, so she shook her head.
"Don't go, miss, we should hurry back to the house, otherwise you won't greet you at the door when the general goes back in a while, and you will be gossiped about by others." ”
"Don't be in a hurry at this moment, my father will go back to Beijing for a while to go to the palace to see the emperor first, and only after seeing the emperor can we go home, we will not be too late to go back after reading it, we must have arrived home in front of my father. ”
Mu Xianxian used to do some secret tasks, no matter how well she completed it, it was just a face-to-face meeting and commendation from her superiors, she had never been welcomed by someone in the middle of the road, and now she finally saw this kind of scene with her own eyes, of course, she didn't want to miss it.
Ah Liu was moved by Mu Xianxian's words, and felt that it really made sense, so she didn't persuade her to say anything, after all, she really wanted to see it.
So, Mu Xianxian took Ah Liu and sat in the private room on the second floor of Wanfu Pavilion together, eating pastries and watching the scenery, waiting for the general to return.
