Chapter 27: The Old Woman Weaving a Bamboo Basket

Just when Xia Luochen was about to take Bai Youan out, Lou Yue came over.

"Third Highness, go and take a look, there is a riot outside."

Seeing Lou Yue so anxious, it shouldn't be a trivial matter.

But Xia Luochen still wanted to take Bai Youan out, and he glanced at Bai Youan with a hesitant face.

"An An, send yourself."

Knowing that Xia Luochen was not worried about himself, Bai Youan comfortingly reached out and touched Xia Luochen's big hand.

Originally, Xia Luochen wanted Bai Youan to wait for her to come back and go together, but her dark eyes looked at Xia Luochen fixedly, so that Xia Luochen couldn't refuse.

"I'll send someone to protect you."

After speaking, Xia Luochen asked Chunhua to accompany Bai You'an out.

Bai You'an was sullen along the way, and Chunhua tried her best to make Bai Youan happy, but she couldn't do anything.

"Princess, you see there is a bamboo basket in front of you."

In fact, after saying these spring flowers, I felt that what I said was boring, even the snacks and toys brought from the palace could not make Bai Youan happy, do you still expect the bamboo basket to make Bai Youan happy?

But he didn't expect Bai Youan to look in the direction pointed by Chunhua, blinking curiously.

It was an old woman who was sitting on the side of the road weaving a bamboo basket, and the old woman's hands were very fast, and most of them were knitted in a short time.

Bai Youan seemed to be a little interested, and stood there and watched for a long time.

Seeing that Bai You'an was finally interested and stopped, Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief.

As if sensing that someone had been looking at her, the old woman raised her head and looked at her.

As soon as she saw that it was a soft and cute little group, the old woman was happy and waved her hand to let Bai Youan come over.

"Baby, come here."

So Bai Youan came closer and squatted in front of the old woman.

"Awesome, awesome."

It was the first time to see someone else doing handmade things, Bai Youan felt very magical, her eyes rolled slightly, and she never left the old woman's hand.

He also reached out to applaud the old woman.

"Your baby is a water spirit, are you here to learn?"

The old woman was kind and kind-eyed, and when she saw Bai You'an, she felt happy, after all, no one could resist this fleshy little face.

"But, is that okay?"

As if he had heard something happy, Bai Youan's eyes burst into light, and he looked very much looking forward to it.

"Absolutely."

Receiving an affirmative answer, she grabbed the bamboo on the side, and the old woman's rough big hand wrapped Bai Youan's little hand, teaching step by step.

"Look, go through here first, and then ......"

When weaving the bamboo basket, Bai Youan's little face was extremely serious, her small eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her face was awe-inspiring, which really looked like a little adult.

With the help of the old woman, Bai Youan gradually understood some of the tricks, and she was able to make it up by herself.

It's fun, fish like it!

"What a smart baby."

The old woman couldn't help but admire, she could be so powerful just by teaching for a while.

"Mother-in-law, amazing."

In order to show his love and gratitude to his mother-in-law, Bai Youan reached out and put his arm around her neck and rubbed it on her face.

"Okay, good, it's really a cute milk doll."

was amused by Bai Youan's actions, and the old woman couldn't help but think of her daughter.

"It's the same as when my daughter was little."

Is my mother-in-law's daughter as cute as a fish?

The curious eyes kept on the old woman, and the old woman reached out and touched Bai Youan's face lovingly, and couldn't help but tell her about her daughter.

"My daughter runs an inn just around the corner ahead."

As the old woman looked in the direction she was pointing, Bai Youan's face instantly collapsed.

Isn't that the inn where you live? The shopkeeper there is a bad woman.

Why would such a good person have a daughter who cheats money?

As if sensing the change in Bai Youan's gaze, the old woman sighed and showed helplessness.

"Did my daughter cheat you again?"

After listening to what my mother-in-law said, I should also know.

Bai Youan nodded hesitantly.

"Hey."

I saw the old woman sigh and speak slowly.

"If it had been put before, why would my daughter be like this? Twenty years ago, it was an extraordinarily rich land, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the crops were abundant. ”

But now it was very desolate, and it was very different from what the old woman had said, and she continued to speak.

"But in recent years, the crops in the field are getting worse and worse year by year, and now there is one person in the family who can be satisfied, if the family has a large population, I am afraid that I can't even eat enough, my daughter is also helpless, and can only rely on the pit to cheat others out of some money every day, in order to barely survive."

Although the old woman was very supportive of this approach at first, she couldn't see her daughter starving to death, right?

I can barely survive by going out to weave bamboo baskets and exchange some money.

Looking at the obvious melancholy in the old woman's eyebrows, Bai Youan couldn't help but stretch out her hand, but gently stroked her eyebrows.

"Mother-in-law, no, it's not uncomfortable."

Bai You'an was anxious, but she didn't comfort her mother-in-law, and her bun face wrinkled fiercely.

"It's not uncomfortable, it's our life."

When this person was older, he could see it, and showed a light smile to comfort Bai Youan.

"You're also staying at my daughter's inn, and you've been defrauded of your money, haven't you?"

Thinking of the change in the expression on Bai Youan's face when she mentioned her daughter just now, the old woman could roughly guess it,

"No, it's okay."

They have already lived so badly, Bai Youan doesn't mind the money before, and her black and white eyes are full of sincerity.

The old woman lovingly reached out and touched Bai You'an's hair, and took out all the money she had earned today from her money bag to give her.

"No, An'an."

Sensing the old woman's movements, Bai Youan hurriedly waved his little hands, and his head shook like a rattle.

No matter what the old woman said, she was reluctant to take it.

"What a good boy."

didn't know how to compensate Bai You'an, so the old woman had to give Bai You'an some gadgets she had made.

"Mother-in-law has nothing else, so I have to give you these gadgets, you can go back and play."

Knowing that if she didn't accept it again, the old woman would be unhappy, so Bai Youan took it.

Seeing that it was not early, Bai Youan didn't stay long, and after receiving the things, he reluctantly said goodbye to the old woman and followed the spring flowers back.

"What's wrong? Still depressed. ”

Xia Luochen dealt with the affairs early and came back to see Bai You'an, but she didn't expect that she was not happy at all, but looked even more sad.

As soon as he saw Xia Luochen, Bai Youan told him all the things he had encountered today.

After listening, Xia Luochen understood that Bai Youan was distressed by the old woman.
