Chapter 159: Mirrors

Some people are timid in their hearts and only become strong when they want to protect others.

Last night's movements made Tang Ru, who was not shocked in Tinglan Xiaozhu, feel uneasy all night, and the rumors on the streets and alleys in the early morning made him even more uneasy when he was not in good spirits.

Tinglan Gongzi obviously knew Tang Ru's condition well, so he went to his house after morning class, pulled him out, talked, scattered his heart, soothed and soothed his emotions, and after having lunch on the street together, he sent the old gentleman who was a little calmer home.

After comforting Tang Ru, he listened to Lan Gongzi before returning home, and when he passed by the vegetable market, he saw that there were still sparse vegetable sellers selling vegetables, and his heart moved, so he picked some vegetables to add some color to the evening meal.

A little farther on, I found a little girl squatting on the corner of the street with a wooden basket that was not much smaller than her body, and was actually dozing.

Hearing Lan Gongzi step forward, he saw only a few eggs lying in the basket, and after squatting close to the little girl, he called softly: "Xiaoli, Xiaoli." ”

The little girl who was called Xiaoli woke up dimly, and after opening her eyes and seeing the amiable face in front of her, she smiled and said, "Sister Tinglan!"

In the hearts of the children of Jinju City, in the school, they call Tinglan Mr. to show respect, but outside they still call Tinglan Sister more kind.

Tinglan said with a smile: "Xiaoli's eggs are selling well today." ”

Xiaoli also smiled happily and squinted, and replied, "Well, a big brother came to buy half a basket of eggs just now." ”

Ting Lan was surprised: "Half a basket? buy so much!"

Xiaoli's chick nodded as if pecking rice, and said, "Yes, that big brother picked for a while, saying that Xiaoli's eggs here are all good eggs, so he picked them one by one." ”

Tinglan said: "Since that big brother bought so much, why are there still a few left?"

Xiaoli said: "Because the big brother's basket is very small, it is already full, and any more will slip out." ”

Tinglan said: "I see. Isn't Xiaoli sleepy?"

When Xiaoli heard the word "sleepy", she couldn't help yawning, rubbed her eyes and said, "It's a little sleepy." ”

Tinglan smiled: "A little bit?"

Xiaoli pouted, forced her eyes wide, and nodded.

Xiaoli is Tinglan's student, for Xiaoli's stubbornness Tinglan has long been taught, her mother died early, her father ploughed the fields, and her elderly grandmother in addition to raising chickens, she also needs to take care of her two younger brothers who can just walk, she has to come out to sell eggs to supplement the family, and every time she takes out the eggs must be sold out before she is willing to go home, this is the goal she set for herself to achieve.

Tinglan stroked Xiaoli's head distressedly and said, "The rest of my sister wants it, so you can go back to sleep early." ”

Hearing this, Xiaoli dragged the basket with both hands, took a step back, and said, "If Sister Lan doesn't really want to eat eggs, Xiaoli won't sell them." ”

Tinglan smiled bitterly: "My sister eats eggs, you see my sister bought a handful of celery, a handful of lettuce, and there are tomatoes and noodles at home, but there is a shortage of eggs to boil noodles." ”

Seeing that Tinglan was indeed holding a handful of celery and a handful of lettuce in her left hand, Xiaoli moved her steps back and said, "Sister Tinglan doesn't lie to Xiaoli?"

Tinglan counted the silver taels and handed them to Xiaoli, and said, "Of course, you can take these things, and the basket and eggs will belong to my sister." ”

Xiaoli took the money, counted it, stretched out her hand back, and said, "It's more." ”

Tinglan shook his head and smiled: "It's not much, this basket is just for my sister to pack eggs and vegetables, isn't there no basket at Xiaoli's house?" You can take the rest of the money to buy another basket, and next time you can pack eggs and sell them, even if it is a favor for my sister, okay?"

Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, and finally withdrew her hand and nodded, "Okay." ”

Tinglan said: "Then Xiaoli should go home early and rest." ”

Xiaoli bowed to Tinglan Shen, and then ran away without looking back.

"Sister Tinglan, thank you! Xiaoli knows that you, like the big brother, are all here to help Xiaoli. ”

Looking at Xiaoli's figure gradually moving away, Tinglan muttered, "Big brother?"

Could it be that this person is also like himself, poor Xiaoli, so he bought her eggs in a way that was slightly easier for Xiaoli to accept.

It's just that why didn't this person buy all the eggs and leave a few?

Isn't it bad that there are many people in the world who do good, I am really too preoccupied with my appearance.

Tinglan shook his head, dispelled the doubts in his mind, put the vegetables in his hand into the basket, hung the basket on the crook of his right arm, and was about to stand up.

How did I know that when I got up halfway, my knees were weak and I couldn't stand.

During the shaking, the left arm was raised, the right arm naturally drooped, and the weight was removed, and finally the balance of the body was regained, and the general was about to stand.

The basket that slipped from his right arm almost hit his foot, and only two of the few eggs in the basket had not been broken.

Hearing this, Lan sighed lightly, but he was also glad that there were still two left, and there was also a trace of doubt in his heart, if he was deficient in blood or qi, he should not only be unable to stand up, but also dizzy, but he was obviously very awake, how could he be inexplicably weak under his knees?

Could it be that there is something wrong with the knee?

With doubts, Tinglan moved the knee joints of his legs, and did not notice any pain or any abnormalities.

It's weird.

*********

Summer nights always come a little later, and ordinary people have dinner before the night has fallen.

Tinglan Gongzi has always lived the life of ordinary people, and he often does this in summer.

Only today, the time has passed, the night has quietly fallen, but the dinner on the table has not been half enjoyed, and she seems to be waiting for someone to arrive.

Tinglan Gongzi's place of residence is only one street away from the empty street deserted house in the west of the city, and he has gained a lot of peace through the taboo of the people in the city against this area.

The wooden house she lived in was in a secluded corner of the corner, and there were several houses in the neighborhood closest to her.

Perhaps, even if the fairy in the sky comes to the mortal world, she hopes to have a pure land when she rests, and will not be disturbed by the world.

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of the wooden house, carrying a basket of eggs in his hand, and that basket was obviously much smaller than the basket that Tinglan had brought home today.

The visitor stared at the light in the wooden house, as if he was speculating about any scene he would encounter when he entered the house, but he did not move for a long time.

"Since Zhen Gongzi has already come, are you still not invited in?" heard the voice of Lan Gongzi from the room.

- Good keen perception.

The person who came was Jiang Yichen, and his identity in front of Tinglan Gongzi and Tang Ru has always been "Zhen Gongzi".

Jiang Yichen said: "Forgive me for being rude, come to disturb Listen to Lan Gongzi at night." ”

Listening to Lan Gongzi: "It's okay, Gongzi is not a literati, so he doesn't have to stick to that rigid rule, besides, if Gongzi didn't come to disturb Tinglan, would he have to leave?"

After hearing this, Jiang Yichen said "excuse me" and paced into the house.

The furnishings in the house are not simple, but they give people a sense of simplicity and peace of mind, and they have a very homely taste.

Listening to Lan Gongzi sitting at the square table, she was still wearing a white robe, but she didn't tie her hair anymore, she looked less elegant and more mature as a woman.

There are three pairs of chopsticks on the table, and the bowl contains tomato and green vegetable egg noodles, but there are only two bowls of noodles with poached eggs, and the third bowl is not, which is not egg noodles.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yichen didn't seem surprised.

Listening to Lan Gongzi staring at the visitor, he was the first to speak: "Zhen Gongzi is very calculating, first bought most of Xiaoli's basket of eggs, calculated that after listening to Lan passing, he will not only buy the remaining eggs, but also take the basket away, and then secretly make Tinglan lose his balance and break a lot of eggs, I don't know if Zhen Gongzi did this, did he find out the result?"

Jiang Yichen said: "It's really a helpless move in the morning, it's an offense, let's make amends to Miss Tinglan first." ”

Jiang Yichen said that he was apologizing, but instead of facing Tinglan Gongzi, he bowed slightly towards the table.

Then, Jiang Yichen turned to Tinglan Gongzi and said, "I don't know how to call the girl, should you be called Tinglan Gongzi? Or the nightingale? Or is it the night boy Lanxi?"

Now that he has come here, Jiang Yichen does not plan to play Tai Chi in a roundabout way, and asks straightforwardly.

Listening to Lan Gongzi smiled: "Jiang Gongzi is sincere, Tinglan will not lie, there is no doubt about Tinglan, as for calling Tinglan a girl or a child, it all depends on Gongzi's joy, and Nightingale and Nightboy Lan Xizhi said, Tinglan really doesn't know where Gongzi heard it?"

Jiang Yichen said: "Gusu's rivers and lakes know-it-all inquired, listening to Lan Gongzi must have heard of it, he said that there are nightingales in Jinzhou City who can only speak human words, and he has been staying in Jinzhou for some time, until yesterday, when I heard the voice of Lan Gongzi and the voice of heaven, the sound of heaven, I also knew that this 'nightingale' must be listening to Lan Gongzi." ”

Listening to Lan Gongzi said: "Jiang Gongzi has a good reputation, listening to Lan's voice is indeed more affinity, if Mr. Bao has such a statement, then Tinglan has to thank him, then how does 'Night Gongzi Lanxi' say?"

Jiang Yichen said: "This is told by an elder in the family, the reason why it is determined that it is Tinglan Gongzi is a speculation, whether it is a nightingale, or a night boy Lan Xi, it is inseparable from the night of Jinzhou City, the nightingale only sings on the stage for the nightingale, and the Tinglan girl during the day is as warm as jade, and at night it is more alert and wise, and more childish bearing, but whether it is the Tinglan girl during the day or the Lan Gongzi at night, it is all a sigh and bitter groan' Lan Xi Lan Xi Na Ruo 'and can't climb high. ”

After listening to Jiang Yichen's words very carefully, Lan Gongzi frowned and said, "In this way, these are just Jiang Gongzi's guesses. ”

Jiang Yichen smiled and sighed: "Listening to Gongzi Lan, since he has already put three bowls of noodles, why pretend to be confused?"

Listening to Lan Gongzi joked: "Tinglan has a big appetite, can't you eat two bowls?"

Jiang Yichen stared at the bowl of noodles without eggs, and said, "Then this bowl is for you?"

"The noodles are already cold, let's warm it up for my sister and Jiang Gongzi. ”

This voice was no different from the Tinglan Gongzi in front of Jiang Yichen, but he could understand it, and the voice was obviously coming from the kitchen of the wooden house.

Since Jiang Yichen entered the house, there has always been a bright light there.

At this time, a person walked out of it, a woman in a white robe and untied hair, looking at her face carefully, it was another Tinglan son!
