Volume 1 The Story of Li Hanrui and Xue'er Chapter 73
"Then I said to send her home, she saw that I was wearing a military uniform, so she reluctantly agreed, I helped her on the horse, I led the horse and sent her home, and her so-called home is nothing more than some straw houses in the southernmost part of the capital!" Li Hanrui said this, his eyes full of happy memories in his eyes.
"It was also that time that I learned that she also had a seriously ill father, they came all the way from Jinan, originally wanted to come to the capital to find a famous doctor to treat her father, before her father played her erhu, she was responsible for singing, although she can't be rich and expensive, but barely able to eat!"
"And now her father is bedridden, she can only sing in the cold winter with a single mouth, the ethereal voice is like a migratory bird in the cold winter, outsiders hear a beautiful voice, and only she knows that it is a sad swan song!"
"I gave her all the money on my body, she knelt down for me excitedly, I helped her up, and left, I came home and I stayed awake all night, my heart felt like I was attacked by her, I closed my eyes and was full of her, and every heartbeat was for her!"
"The next day I still went to the overpass, she was still singing there, and I went back every day for the next few days, and I would put on some bedding and cotton clothes for her, although my family did not lack these, but for their father and daughter, it was a life-saving item!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he was so envious, he didn't expect that in this ancient era with outdated ideas and anti-locked, he could still see such innocent love, "Why don't you take her back to the house?" It's good to be a maid, or to keep someone! ”
Li Hanrui smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Of course I said it, but she didn't agree, she knew that if she entered the mansion, then she would never be able to go out again in her life, rather than being trapped in a cage in life and death first, she would rather sing in the cold winter and get her freedom!" ”
"Fortunately, with my protection, a group of hooligans who want to bully her, businessmen who want to forcibly occupy her, are scared away by my title of the second son of the general, and she is also very grateful to me, we actually don't have much time to communicate every day, usually I can talk a few words on the way home when I send her home, in addition to her singing, I am listening, this is the unique way we get along!"
But one day half a month later, I went to the overpass again as usual, but I didn't see her, I panicked! I was afraid that she would be bullied, I was afraid that she would be snatched by the bad guys, so I hurried to her house, and she was standing at the corner of the street, waiting with her feet crossed, as if she had already guessed that I would come! ”
"I asked her why she didn't go today, and she told me two things, the first is that her father's illness is even worse, and if he doesn't get medical treatment, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive the winter, and the second thing is that he needs a lot of money, three hundred taels of silver!"
"Three hundred taels?" Zhao Xuanyi said in surprise, don't say it's Li Hanrui, it's enough for Li Yukun to take it out!
Li Hanrui nodded, his face full of helplessness, "Yes, I can't take it out either, I was scared, I haven't seen so much money since I've lived so much, and she smiled when she saw my loss!" Tell me don't worry, she has her own way! And let me come back in the evening! ”
"And when I went to see her again in the evening, she changed into a white cotton dress, and she was very happy with my arrival, and took me into the house, but did not see her father, and she said that it was too cold here, and that it was left in someone else's house, and that there were three side dishes on the table, and a pot of wine, and she was very grateful to me and invited me to drink!"
"But she had never drunk alcohol, and she was already in a trance after a few glasses, and she was attached to my arms, and said a lot of things, many things that I wanted to hear but didn't dare to hear, and I was very rude that night, and spent one night with her!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he instantly understood something, and looked at Li Hanrui with a snickering face, "I said, why aren't you afraid that she was being bullied by other men, it turns out that you have already started?" Yes, second brother! ”
Li Hanrui smiled happily, "That night is something I can never forget in my life, there was snow outside the room, but we didn't have a trace of cold, but when I woke up again, I only saw a letter, but she was gone!" ”
"After reading the letter, I learned that she sold herself to the Zuichun Mansion in exchange for three hundred taels for her father's treatment! I was very angry and rode to the Zuichun Building, and the moment I entered the Zuichun Building, I heard her beautiful singing again! ”
"Looking at her brightly dressed on stage, my feet felt like they were filled with lead, and I couldn't walk a step, because I knew that I had no ability to take her away, and I didn't dare to see her again!" Li Hanrui said this, his eyes slowly reddened, and he lowered his head silently!
"That was a few years ago?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"It's been almost three years!"
"Three years, aren't you afraid that she won't be able to hold on? Will you be dragged by someone else to accompany the drink, or will it be ......? Zhao Xuanyi asked cautiously.
"I don't care!" Li Hanrui looked at Zhao Xuanyi with a firm look in his eyes, "No matter what she has done in the past few years, I will take her back, even if something happens, it is my incompetent man who did not protect her, and it is not her who is wrong!" ”
Zhao Xuanyi was shocked by the man in front of him, and admired it very much, even if he knew that Xue'er might not be the Xue'er of the year, but he still maintained his original intention and did not change!
"Big brother, how much silver do you have now?"
Li Hanrui did not hide it, "In the past three years, all my fortunes have been less than 100 taels in total, and I can occasionally do some fur cargo transportation at the border gate, earning more than 20 taels, borrowing 50 taels from the eldest brother, and some are borrowed by other brothers, plus the 200 taels you got back today, I now have a total of more than 320 taels!" ”
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he nodded lightly, "In this way, second brother, don't worry, I will definitely help you bring Xue'er back, you take care of your injuries first, let me think about it!" ”
Li Hanrui looked at Zhao Xuanyi with gratitude on his face, "Brother-in-law, please!" Li Hanrui grabbed Zhao Xuanyi's arm.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and patted Li Hanrui's hand gently, "Don't worry!" After speaking, Zhao Xuanyi left Li Hanrui's room! Walking back into his room, Zhao Xuanyi began to think of a way, but with three hundred taels of silver, if he wanted to earn five thousand taels, in less than three days, it could not be said that it was impossible, but it was basically impossible!
Why don't you have some black technology? Like the other time-travelers in the TV series, make some soap, perfume, and what do you use to make glass? But now I don't have any resources in my hands, and I don't have those instruments myself, it's enough to choke!
Zhao Xuanyi thought of night from day to night, he had been sitting at the table without moving, and the sound of opening the door woke up Zhao Xuanyi, who was engrossed, and when he looked up, it was the purple kite who came, holding a food box in his hand, and slowly walked over!
Seeing Zhao Xuanyi, Zi Kite's face was very indifferent, he opened the food box and took out the meals inside one by one, Zhao Xuanyi looked down, three dishes, two large bowls of rice, a braised fish, a fried cabbage, and a fried radish! Zhao Xuanyi said in his heart, the food in the General's Mansion is still light!
"Stay and eat together!" Zhao Xuanyi knew that although the purple kite, Qinglian and lychee were Li Hanyan's personal maids, the purple kite and the others ate the same as the people. It's nothing more than steamed rice porridge and pickles, although it's not bad, but it's definitely not any better, and it's completely different from your own food!
"No need, the maid has a humble status and doesn't dare to eat at the same table with her uncle!" Purple Kite's tone was full of complaints!
Zhao Xuanyi naturally knew why the purple kite was angry, stood up with a smile, came to the purple kite, and grabbed the purple kite's little hand, the purple kite wanted to shake it off, but it didn't succeed, because Zhao Xuanyi grabbed it too tightly!
"The door is closed, no one can see it, and I've always known that Sister Purple Kite is the smartest, so you won't know anything about the second brother and Xue'er, right? Since the two of them agreed to make peace, and it was so miserable, why did you refuse? Zhao Xuanyi asked.
Purple Kite looked at Zhao Xuanyi indifferently: "How dare I have such a low identity?" These are all set by the master, and the general's mansion can't afford to lose this person, the eldest son married a wife and was engraved to death, and the second son took a kiln sister, and the majesty of the general's mansion was completely gone! In the future, the position of the master will be really unstable! ”
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and pulled the purple kite to sit down, "What are you afraid of?" Am I not here now? In the future, let me manage the face of the General's Mansion, I will make others dare not underestimate it, and I will not dare to provoke the General's Mansion! ”
When Purple Kite heard Zhao Xuanyi's wild words, her face showed mockery, "Just you?" I admit that you are skillful, brave and strategic, but you don't have deep strength, let alone the ability to shake authority, why should my uncle? ”
Zhao Xuanyi shrugged his shoulders, "Don't worry, I'll let you see!" Come a little bit, take your time! Eat first! Zhao Xuanyi put a bowl of rice in Zi Kite's hand.
The purple kite was brought over, and he didn't shirk, the two began to eat, Zhao Xuanyi took a deep breath, "Han Yan, she...... You okay? ”
"Miss cried for a long time, and finally she was tired and sullen, you should be careful in the future, don't provoke her, otherwise Miss will definitely break your legs!"
Zhao Xuanyi had a headache when he thought of Li Hanyan, "It's such a big girl, thinking that things are still so one-sided, I really don't know how to live so big!" ”
When Purple Kite heard Zhao Xuanyi's words, her face showed displeasure, "You didn't do it right!" ”
"I admit it! But I couldn't help it! ”
"Miss grew up in the house since she was a child, although she often goes out to play, but her heart is not too deep, Miss has a lot of things that she can't understand, in her eyes, the women in the Qinglou are the same, that is engraved in the bones, no one can shake it!" Purple Kite said slowly.
"That's called humanity! That's called pampering! Throw her out on the street for a few days and show her the real world! Zhao Xuanyi said a little angrily.
Purple Kite glared at Zhao Xuanyi, "I know that my uncle may have experienced a lot and has a wide range of knowledge, but you can't ask everyone to be the same as you, right?" What's wrong with Miss's innocent nature? If a foreign enemy comes to attack, raise the spear, and if the country and the people are safe, they will live happily, isn't that good? ”
After listening to the purple kite's words, Zhao Xuanyi didn't know what to say for a while, maybe he was too domineering, Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "It's been like this recently, I've probably been very busy recently, it's good to let her stop a little, and when I'm done with this, I'll go and coax her!" ”
