Chapter 217: Little Fish
"The rain is delicate, Niangniang waved the little guy next to her to play the umbrella, stubbornly and persistently to write all the words on the stone steps, and shouted that she would wait for the Taifu to go home."
"I know that there was no me in that moment, but in my moment, Niangniang entered the painting, the painting in front of me."
"On that day, I killed a man with my own hands, hid his body in a wild alley that no one cared about, covered it with several bamboo baskets, and I also scratched his face as a lesson for him to keep his mouth open."
"There was some blood on my hands, I spread my hands to catch the rain and want to clean it up, so I heard Niangniang's voice, and saw Niangniang squatting there for years quietly learning calligraphy, the mansion behind Niangniang is really beautiful, and the room I usually live in is too different."
Xiao Jinyun looked at her fixedly, and looked at her with a cold back, and she subconsciously asked, "You killed?" Xiao Jinyun, how old were you when you met me? β
"Five or six?" He tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I don't remember." β
She felt even colder.
This person is really a madman, crazy people, and what he does is even crazier!
After being reminded by him, she had some impression that she was the same age as Xiao Jinyun, and she did meet a child when she was five or six. β
But she remembered that Xiao Jinyun didn't wear this red rope at that time.
She didn't want to hear too much, so she asked him directly, "Who gave this to you?" β
"Mama."
"Why did she give you this?"
"Niangniang, the story of the reins is not finished yet, you listen slowly."
Xiao Jinyun told her not to worry, and he told her little by little what was going on.
The man looked at the red rope and smiled: "This is something that my grandmother has had since I was born, and I was always reluctant to let my grandmother wear it before, because I know the meaning of wearing this, to ward off evil spirits?" What evil is it? They all think of me as a bad thing, and they dispel me as an evil. β
"Niangniang, since I saw you, I have been going to see you at the same time every day, and I wanted to be close to you at that time, but I was afraid that you would be afraid of me like those people, and avoid me."
"So I came to you as a harmless child, after watching you for a whileβand I asked you if you could teach me how to read, and you just looked at me, and gladly agreed,"
"You didn't have the same prejudice against me as everyone else, and when you saw this one around my waist, you tore it off and put it on for me yourself."
"You say, this meaning is good, fortune and treasure, invincible, you said that such a good thing should always be worn on your hand to live up to it."
"That was the first time I heard someone give this thing something else fresh words, do you know what Erchen thought at the time, Erchen thought, this little girl is really easy to deceive, how to deceive, she is close to me."
Xiao Jinyun was immersed in the past, looking at her with burning eyes and tenderness in his eyes.
Maybe Nanyu was one of the few lights in his difficult time in the past, but so what, none of the things he does now make her like.
She was reminded of many things that followed by his words.
During the rainy season that year, she met a pale child who was playing with her in front of the house and asked her what her name was.
She said her name was Nanyu.
The boy looked down for a moment, then pointed to the dead fish sold at the vendor's stall not far away and asked, "Is this the fish?" β
Nan Yu gestured with his hand angrily, "No, I am the little fish that is free in the water, and I want to bring three points of water." β
The child thought for a while, and then said to himself, "It turned out to be a little fish." β
She has done a lot of things with him, she will take advantage of Nan Taifu's absence to dig bird eggs on the tree, will go to the house to steal steamed steamed buns to eat, and will shuttle with him in the streets and alleys outside Taifu's mansion, using fishing nets to catch butterflies.
Nanyu was not afraid of heaven and earth when she was a child, her personality was like a boy, and after doing something bad with Xiao Jinyun, she would boo him to keep it secret.
Xiao Jinyun listened to her every time.
But she remembered that he was gone not long after she was with him, and she could never find him again.
In Nanyu's memory, she was just laughing and playing with him, and with his disappearance, she gradually faded away, until so many years passed, and she could no longer remember everything about him.
Thinking of this, she asked, "Later, did you leave Dadu?" β
"Hmm." Xiao Jinyun said lightly: "Because, Mama's son died in Gyeongju." β
Needless to say, she could probably guess about him.
The loss of his grandmother, who has always treated him well, means that he can no longer live in Dadu carefree, and he needs to fill the vacancy and continue to play the role of the down-and-out prince who issued Gyeongju.
And Xiao Jinyun's plan may be a means for him to survive in that territory.
Nanyu remembered what she knew about him in her previous life, although she entered the palace at that time, she had been in the harem, and occasionally heard his name, or from the palace mouths on the side, they all said that the Second Highness was a disaster star, and every time she came, she looked like she was cowering and not approaching people, now that she thinks about it, these rumors are also his disguise.
It's just one thing she can't understand, why didn't Xiao Jinyun do anything in the last life?
She couldn't help but set her eyes on the red rope copper coin again.
"Did those priests assert that you won't live to be twenty years old?"
Xiao Jinyun nodded.
Nan Yu's eyes lit up, and he figured out what was going on.
In the last life, it was not that he did nothing, but that he died before he could show his ambitions!
Just like the different trends in this life and the previous life, the day when Dayuan comes to commit crimes can be advanced, and most natural disasters can appear, so about Xiao Jinyun, it will inevitably change his fate.
She suppressed the horror in her heart.
According to what he said about his childhood experience, she twisted her eyebrows and advised him: "If you still remember the past affection, then listen to my advice, don't do anything crazy, don't go astray." β
Xiao Jinyun laughed suddenly.
Turning his eyebrows, as if he had heard something funny, he turned his head and asked, "What if the retainer has gone astray?" β
"Xiao Jinyun, I don't want to say anything else, it's just a suggestion, in the end, it depends on your heart, if your heart is dirty, then no matter how much you clean it, it won't help."
"Niangniang, you still owe your son a promise."
He suddenly said, Nanyu thought about it, yes, she did owe him one, when she asked him when he borrowed gunpowder and ordnance.
She frowned impatiently: "What do you want me to do?" If it goes against my heart, I won't do it. β
"It won't go against your heart, and it won't embarrass you." Xiao Jinyun replied: "I just need Niangniang, before Erchen makes this promise, think about me more." β
ββ¦β¦β
was teased by him again, and she had a bad complexion.
After Xiao Jinyun finished talking about the past with her, he found that she didn't mean to be close to him at all, and the man sighed in his heart, a little unbearable, and revealed something to her.
He said slowly: "The condition proposed by Xie Junyou, don't think too complicated, just think about what strengths Shuozhou has, what shortcomings can make up for Dayuan, their place is not richer than ours here, they can take a piece of fat in exchange, they must see long-term development." β
"Niang Niang Bingxue is smart, she should figure it out soon."
