Ye Zikite scalded two pots of wine and brought them to the Flower Pavilion. Although it was the middle of winter, after a few glasses of hot wine, my whole body warmed up.

The little girl took the liberty of asking, I don't know where the son is from? Who else is in the family? Ye Ziyuan asked cautiously.

"I was originally from Yingzhou, and in my early years, my family suffered a great disaster, and I only escaped with an old servant, grew up in the grassland, and only recently came to the Central Plains."

"Since Childe can assist the government to catch thieves late at night, is Childe a member of the official family?"

"Yes and no. I had just returned to the Central Plains from the grassland, and I had no merit on my body, but my father had served in the court during his lifetime. ”

"It turns out that the son is the queen of the official family."

Ye Ziyuan's eyes showed an imperceptible loss, as if she was lamenting the huge difference in identity between the two.

Shao Xi didn't notice the change in Ye Zi Kite, and asked rhetorically, "Where is Purple Kite girl from?" Why do you make a living in this Lanxiu Fang? ”

"The little girl is a native of Qingshan County, as for why she is in Lanxiufang, didn't she tell your son last night? At that time, the family was poor and had no money to bury his deceased father, so he had to sell his body to bury his father and commit himself to this Lanxiu Fang. ”

Shao Xi nodded, Ye Ziyuan did mention it last night, but he couldn't imagine how a poor family would force a little girl to sell herself to bury her father? Although I have seen similar episodes in literature, film and television works before the crossing, it is always hard to believe when the reality is in front of me.

"What did the girl's family do before?"

Ye Ziyuan smiled and said: "It's just ordinary people, in the early years, the land was confiscated due to the delay in the payment of taxes, and my father also suffered a lawsuit for this, and then he could only rely on some short-term work to maintain the family's livelihood. ”

"It can be seen that Miss Ziyuan is a woman with a good heart, and the girl must have suffered a lot over the years, but I don't know what the girl's plans are for the future? This Lan Xiufang is not a long-term solution. ”

"Now that the little girl is famous, it is even more difficult to redeem herself, so she can only save more money in the past few years, and redeem herself when she is old and decrepit, so that she will not be sold to a stranger to fill the house."

Shao Xi sighed for a while after hearing this, how could the fate of this ordinary woman be so miserable? How can this world be so unjust? Thinking back to when I was a security guard, I was still struggling on the verge of survival as a man, let alone an ancient woman.

"Purple Kite girl, I remember that you said to me last night that since you and I are confidants, we can't prove the friendship between you and me with yellow and white things. And what I'm trying to say at this point is, since you and I are each other's confidants, how can I look at you in the fire pit and turn a blind eye? What do I want to do for you, if you want to redeem yourself, I will do my best to help you, this matter has nothing to do with anything else, just because you are my confidante, I don't know if you are willing to Purple Kite girl? ”

Ye Ziyuan didn't speak, just raised her sleeves and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Over the years, although I have suffered in my heart, I have never felt wronged, because all this is my choice. And at this time, the man in front of him is willing to help him fulfill the wish he has always wanted to fulfill, no purpose, no conditions, simply because he regards himself as a confidante, as a woman who has learned to smile in front of others since she was a child, isn't what she is facing at this time is exactly what she dreams of?

Shao Xi saw that Ye Zikite didn't speak, and continued to ask, "Miss Purple Kite still has something unfinished. ”

Ye Ziyuan seemed to have made some decision at this time, and said to Shao Xi with a determined look in her eyes: "Childe said this, which makes the little girl extremely grateful, if the son is really willing to redeem the little girl, I only ask the son to promise the little girl three things." ”

"What's the matter, the girl just opened her mouth, and she didn't dare to obey."

Ye Ziyuan didn't speak immediately, but turned around and entered the room. After a few moments, he walked out with something in his hand.

"Since the son said so just now, the first thing is that the son will promise the little girl, and after the redemption, the little girl will follow the son forever as a slave and a maid, and will not marry for life, and the son can not drive the little girl away......"

When Shao Xi heard this, he felt a little difficult in his heart, he had been Lao Wu's oil bottle for so many years, and now he has added another one, it seems that he will have to shoulder more responsibilities in the future, he can't just blindly rely on Lao Wu, and he can't always rely on Lao Wu.

"Okay, I promise the girl, but what about the second thing?"

"This second thing is that before leaving, the little girl wants to do one thing for the people of Qingshan City, don't ask what the matter is, don't try to inquire, after the little girl finishes this, she will leave this place with you......"

Shao Xi originally wanted to inquire about what was going on, but after listening to the second half of Ye Ziyuan's sentence, he knew that he wouldn't say anything even if he asked, so he nodded and agreed.

"The third thing is ......"

While speaking, Ye Ziyuan handed the thing in his hand to Shao Xi.

Shao Xi took a look at it in his hand, and it turned out to be a small and delicate paper kite, which looked very cute in the palm of his hand. Being able to tie the paper kite so small shows how ingenious Ye Zikite is?

"That's the third thing the girl said?"

Ye Ziyuan shook her head lightly and said, "If something happens to the little girl before you and I leave, the son will disassemble this kite and fulfill the wish for the little girl according to the instructions shown in it, this is not for myself, but for the people of the entire Qingshan City." ”

Shao Xi looked up at Ye Ziyuan in surprise, and couldn't help asking, "What did the girl do?" Why do you say that there will be accidents? Is it dangerous? If so, I'll do it with you. ”

"Childe promised me that he wouldn't ask what was going on, and he wouldn't try to inquire. In short, if everything goes well, I will burn this kite, and leave Qingshan City forever with Childe, if it doesn't go well, the little girl hopes that Childe will agree to my request just now. ”

Shao Xi saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to nod his head and agree, but he had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, I don't know what this purple kite girl wants to do? She said that this matter was done for the people of Qingshan City, and it must not be a trivial matter, but now she will not say it when she asks her, and now she can only agree to it before making a decision.

Seeing that Shao Xi had agreed to all three things, Ye Ziyuan stood up, straightened her clothes and hair hanging down her shoulders, lightly lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground, and kowtowed deeply to Shao Xi.

Ye Ziyuan's head made Shao Xi panic, I saw that he was in a hurry, he stretched out his hand to help and retracted his hand, and if he didn't help, he felt really uncomfortable being worshiped by the other party like this, so that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and the whole person looked like "Zhao Si'er" had a stroke.

Ye Ziyuan looked up and saw Shao Xi's embarrassment, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed, got up to fill a glass of wine for Shao Xi, and brought the wine glass to Shao Xi with both hands.

"Childe, today coincides with the full moon, the purple kite swears by the moon here, after the son drinks this cup of wine, if he has the mercy of God, the purple kite can go to the rivers and lakes with the son, and he will follow the son for the rest of his life, always accompany him, and never turn his back, if he violates this statement, the purple kite is willing to inherit the gods and ghosts, and fall into hell forever, and must not be detached."

Shao Xi was given goosebumps by Ye Ziyuan's oath, this kind of poisonous oath was not just a casual oath. In this world, the other party swears this kind of oath is equivalent to giving his life to himself, and they all say that women are ruthless, and they are even more ruthless to themselves.

Shao Xi didn't take the wine glass immediately, but said to Ye Ziyuan: "Before I drink this glass of wine, Zi Kite, you have to promise me one thing." ”

"Childe, please speak."

"If you follow me in the future, not as a slave or as a servant, but as a confidante of equal status with me, my best friend, and a family member who can trust each other's lives, if you agree, I will drink this wine."

When Ye Ziyuan heard this, tears instantly poured out of her eyes like a tide.

She lost her father since she was a child, and she has been lonely all her life, in the eyes of others, she has always been just a money-making tool and a plaything at the mercy of others, but now the person she admires the most really treats her as a person, a person with equal status and no matter the noble and low.

How fortunate she is to be able to meet such a man, all kinds of misfortunes in the past have become worthless at this moment, for the happiness of the moment, even if she gives her life, she will not hesitate, no hesitation, no regrets.

Ye Ziyuan nodded heavily at Shao Xi, and said: "Childe is willing to regard Purple Kite as a friend and family, it is Purple Kite's luck, Purple Kite is willing to entrust his life to Childe, and is willing to give his life for Childe, if Childe does not give up, Purple Kite is willing to be Childe's pillow person." ”

When Shao Xi heard it, isn't this far away? It made me feel like I was going to spend money to buy a daughter-in-law, but looking at the appearance of Ye Zikite in front of me, I couldn't bear to explain it for a while, and I thought that this would be it! Let's get along slowly in the future! I originally liked this girl a lot.

After taking the wine glass, Shao Xi drank all the wine in the cup, and asked Ye Ziyuan: "Zi Kite, is there a branch of Taihe Commercial Bank in this Qingshan City?" ”

Ye Ziyuan lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "If I remember correctly, there should be a Taihe trading house in the east of the city, but I have never been there." ”

"Well, it's good to have."

"Childe, what are you going to buy?"

"It's not that I want to buy something, it's that I have something to deal with here, I originally planned to go to Daliang City to talk about it, since there is also a Taihe trading house here, it is better to dispose of it nearby."

"Childe, don't blame the purple kite for being arrogant, but because of the purple kite, Childe wants to sell some important things? In that case, Purple Kite would rather stay here than embarrass Childe. ”

Shao Xi hurriedly explained: "It's that you think too much, and there is nothing at all, I originally planned to sell these things, but it is not easy to bring them after they are exchanged for gold and silver, so I have not changed them." ”

Ye Ziyuan suddenly turned around and returned to the room again, and when she came out, she stuffed two things into Shao Xi's hands.

"Since Childe has already planned to help the purple kite redeem himself, I shouldn't stay with these two precious Tianyan Stones anymore."

"Purple Kite, why are you doing this?"

"Since I can be by my child's side every day from now on, I don't have to keep such a valuable item as a thought."

After speaking, Ye Ziyuan reached out and pulled out the strip of cloth that Shao Xi had stuffed on his belt.

"Just keep this on my mind!"
