The vigorous case of the death of King Yue finally came to an end, and it was finally characterized as an "accident".

An accident in which King Yue's favorite aunt was the most favored by King Yue for the purpose of curing King Yue and gaining fame and power, but King Yue was killed by mistake.

Emperor Jianliang couldn't accept it anymore, but everyone was dead, and the culprit Qiu Wenwen also paid the price, so he naturally couldn't whip people, so he could only pinch his nose and accept the facts.

On the thirteenth day of the first month, King Yue was buried in the imperial tomb.

And Qiu Wenwen's body has long been thrown into a mass grave.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, there was no large-scale operation in the palace, and Emperor Jianliang only rewarded each courtier in the court with some Lantern Festival.

It is rare not to spend the festival in the palace, so Leng Lanzhi took advantage of the warm weather at noon to go to the street.

The long street is full of stalls selling masks and paper kites.

Shengjing is located in the north, and every year around the Spring Festival, there will be many more people selling paper kites on the street.

In the fields, many children will run with paper kites about their size, trying to let the slightly noisy wind blow the paper kites high.

Leng Lanzhi didn't remember the last time she put paper kites, but she only remembered that the prince was with her at that time.

Most of the paper kite sellers are men, although they are men, but these people's hands are very skillful, I saw their fingers move quickly, the frame of the paper kite is easily fixed, and the paper with beautiful patterns is also pasted.

The largest paper kite stall has dozens of paper kites hanging on it, including majestic eagles, gentle and beautiful swallows, and a few streamers behind simple triangular patterns......

Seeing Leng Lanzhi staring at the largest paper kite stall, Liusha asked, "Princess, which one do you like?" The slave and the maid went down to buy it. ”

Leng Lanzhi was about to speak, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a small stall not far away.

Compared with the stall that used bamboo frames to build a magnificent paper kite building, the small stall was not chilling, there was not even a table, and all the paper kites were hung on a three or four-year-old girl.

The stall owner was crouching beside the girl, carefully pasting the new paper kite.

The so-called stall owner is a girl who is not a few years older than a little girl, about ten years old.

The little girl's slender fingers were red from the cold, and there were rotten chilblains on them.

Her movements are not rusty, but probably because she has chilblains on her hands, so she is very slow to do it.

Leng Lanzhi frowned.

She had heard of children from poor families taking charge of their families at an early age, but this was the first time she had seen them.

Liusha followed her gaze and explained, "This little girl's name is Li Xue'er, and she is a ...... Orphan. Next to her was her sister. Since this fall, Li Xueer has taken her sister to the street to find a way to make money. ”

Occasionally, she would go out into the streets to buy the princess's personal belongings or things that the princess valued very much, in order to know what was going on the street.

Leng Lanzhi frowned: "Their parents have died?" ”

Liusha said: "The situation in their family is more complicated, Li Xueer was abandoned by her parents after she was born, and she was picked up by a family without children, so she was raised as her own daughter.

A few years later, the family also gave birth to their own child, but they did not retract their love for Li Xueer because of this. ”

As she spoke, she sighed: "It's a pity that this little girl's life is not very good, this autumn, her adoptive parents went out of the city to visit relatives, and were killed by robbers on the road." From then on, the two little girls could only rely on each other. ”

"Li Xueer herself is a little girl, but she has to find a way to make money and take care of children."

She still remembers the first time she saw Li Xue'er, she was begging on the street with her sister in her arms.

Fortunately, when it suddenly snowed heavily in Beijing, the princess ordered people to prepare food and charcoal in advance, and distributed them to some poor people for free, and the two sisters were on the list of free distributions, otherwise, they might not have been able to hold on until now.

Leng Lanzhi pursed his lips, paused, lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

The paper kite made by the little girl is not delicate, it can even be called rough, although many pedestrians will cast a puzzled look or two when they pass by the stall, but no one will pay for it.

After all, it's ugly.

Moreover, the strength of a child is too small, and the paper kite may not be strong.

Although a paper kite only costs two pennies, which is nothing to the vast majority of the people in Shengjing, no one will be idle and have nothing to do, and throw them around.

"Little sister, the shape of your paper kite is very novel, how can you sell it?" Leng Lanzhi asked knowingly.

Li Xue'er has been setting up a stall for several days.

She used to take her sister everywhere to pick up garbage to eat, and a few days ago she was lucky enough to pick up waste paper thrown out by a family, and she saw many stalls selling paper kites on the street.

She once saw others make paper kites, simple paper kites, which can be made with just a few bamboo sticks, paste and paper.

With paper, the bamboo strips almost cost nothing, paste or anything, and she can be cheeky to ask the stall owners who sell paper kites.

She felt that even if she could sell a paper kite one day, she and her sister would not have to go hungry again.

However, the reality is much crueler than she imagined.

Her pasted paper kites are much uglier than those in other stalls, and although her craft is improving every day, it is not as good as those veterans.

This was the first time she had heard someone describe her paper kite as "novelty".

Novelty...... That's a good word, at least, this pretty sister doesn't think her paper kite is ugly, does she?

Li Xue'er was encouraged and plucked up the courage to say: "This sister, two pennies a piece." ”

Without waiting for Leng Lanzhi to speak, she said quickly: "However, if my sister likes it, I can buy one and get one free." ”

should be carefree at an age, but this girl has begun to learn to observe words and beg for life.

Leng Lan's heart was full of pity, and he smiled: "No need, I have a lot of people in my family, if you buy one and get one free, you will cry." ”

Li Xue'er was stunned, but after a few months of crawling in the market, she was no longer a child who was ignorant of the world under the wings of her parents, and she was not like her three-year-old sister, who always had a clear stupidity in her eyes.

She quickly realized that she might have met a nobleman, and she was immediately happy.

After being happy, I was worried again: "Sister, your relatives, will you like my paper kite?" ”

Although the noble sister doesn't think these paper kites are ugly, what if her family doesn't like them?

Will they blame the noble sister for spending money indiscriminately?

Seeing the little girl's lack of confidence and worry, Leng Lan's heart was soft.

This child, obviously in the rain, can't help but worry about whether others will get sick.

She smiled, "Don't worry, my family will like it too." ”

She glanced at Liusha, and Liusha took out her purse.

was about to pay, but a hand stretched out next to him: "I want one too." ”

Hearing this voice, Leng Lan's heart was overjoyed, and Liusha subconsciously shrank for a moment.
