Chapter 67: The sensible Zhong Xiaoxiao
At this time, Li Xin's injury is almost healed, and the spring has begun, Yu Linwei's people have resumed training, and Li Xin should almost go to report, how can he say that he also has an eight-rank official body now, and Zhang Xiao is recommended, it is not a problem to enter Yu Linwei.
After entering Yulinwei, in addition to training every day, according to the rules, he also has to perform some tasks, such as taking turns with the internal guards in the forbidden palace, or doing some work to protect important people, so before Yulinwei gets acquainted, Li Xin estimates that he will go to Yulinwei to live for a while, so Li Xin has to entrust the little girl to Cui Jiuniang to take care of first.
Early in the morning, Li Xin got up and made breakfast for the little girl, and after the brother and sister finished eating, Li Xin squatted beside Zhong Xiaoxiao and said with a smile: "Girl, my brother is going out for a while, I can't take you, you will follow Sister Cui during this time and let her take care of you, okay?" ”
Zhong Xiaoxiao was not as well-behaved as usual, she lowered her head, and her voice was so low that she could barely hear it: "Brother...... Brother, you don't want me anymore? ”
At this time, Zhong Xiaoxiao already had tears in his eyes.
After the charcoal seller went, Li Xin was the only sustenance in her life, and the reason why the little girl was so obedient was because she knew in her heart that Li Xin had no blood relatives with her, and she was afraid that Li Xin would not want her one day.
In this era, human life is not valuable, and little girls are even less valuable, and seven or eight out of ten children who sell themselves in the dental shop are female dolls.
Li Xin touched her head and comforted her softly: "Girl, you don't believe my brother?" ”
Zhong Xiaoxiao wiped her tears with a thick cotton coat, and choked up: "Brother, I can cook, do laundry, I will follow you wherever you go......"
Li Xin shook his head helplessly.
After the charcoal seller left, this girl became more and more withdrawn, Li Xin was cut a few days ago, and she also saw it, so this little girl had a strong sense of insecurity, at this time Li Xin was leaving, she felt that Li Xin didn't want her.
After all, it is normal for a little girl to have this kind of thought.
Li Xin stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms, and then sat down on the stool in the yard, this young man who had just turned sixteen, wiped his tears from the little girl with his sleeve, and said softly: "Girl, a few days ago, a bad guy entered our yard and injured my brother, do you remember?" ”
Zhong Xiaoxiao nodded, still crying: "Remember, there is ...... in this capital All of them are bad guys, and some time ago, someone injured my brother's forehead! ”
Li Xin patted her on the back, and his voice was soft: "If my brother continues to live here and doesn't go out, there will be more wicked people coming to us in the future, my brother can avoid it once or twice, but not three or four times, so my brother wants to go out to find some capital that can defend himself, can the girl understand?" ”
When dealing with children, it is usually a beating, but Zhong Xiaoxiao is usually very sensible, and Li Xin is reluctant to beat her, so he has to reason with her calmly.
"This trip, at least ten days and half a month, at most a month, my brother can come back, besides, Sister Cui, you have also seen it, she is not a wicked person, you live with her for a few days, and my brother will come back."
Zhong Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, looked up at Li Xin, who was smiling gently, and said in a low voice: "Brother goes out, won't we be bullied in the future?" ”
Li Xin smiled and nodded: "Yes, in the future, we will bully others, and we will not bully us for others." ”
The little girl shook her little head and said in a low voice: "We don't bully others, as long as we don't bully others, we will be ......."
When Li Xin heard this, he was faintly touched in his heart.
This girl, I don't know how much she has suffered since she was a child, and in this month's time, she has suffered again and again, and at this time, she can still maintain a good heart with others, which shows that this girl has a pure temperament.
In fact, most of the people are Zhong Xiaoxiao's character, obedient, never want to bully others, as long as they don't bully others, they will be satisfied.
After talking about Zhong Xiaoxiao, Li Xin washed her face with a basin of hot water, washed the tears on her face, and then told her a few stories, and after amusing the little girl, he made some snacks out of the kitchen, wrapped them in paper, and put them in Zhong Xiaoxiao's pocket.
Li Xin had no children in his previous life, and when he met such a lovely little girl in this life, he did raise her as a daughter.
After doing all this, it was afternoon, Li Xin sat in the courtyard, ready to accompany Zhong Xiaoxiao for the last afternoon, and went to Yulinwei to report, but the little girl ran into her own room, took out the pen and ink and straw paper that Li Xin bought for her from the house, and then stood in front of Li Xin a little clumsily, gritted her teeth: "Brother, let's go." ”
Li Xin looked at this girl in some surprise and said softly, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to Sister Cui."
The age difference between her and Cui Jiuniang is actually a bit much, but Li Xin called Cui Jiuniang her sister, and she shouted along.
The little girl held the straw paper with one hand, pulled Li Xin's sleeve with the other, and said in a low voice: "Those bad people are too hateful, the sooner my brother has the ability, the sooner he will be safe......"
Li was relieved, bent down to hold her in his arms, and laughed: "Okay, let's go now." ”
In fact, entering Yulinwei is only the first step in a journey of thousands of miles, and there is still a distance of 108,000 miles away from being able to go against the Pingnanhou Mansion, but whatever Li Xin says, the little girl will believe it, and there is no doubt.
It was still afternoon at this time, Li Xin took the girl and left his yard, and the two brothers and sisters walked towards the Qinhuai River while talking.
Before the sun sets, the business of Qinglou is generally not very good, Li Xin smoothly met Cui Jiuniang on the third floor of the proud building, Jiuniang smiled and looked at the girl in Li Xin's hand, squatted down and touched her face.
"What a cute little girl."
In fact, Zhong Xiaoxiao is not cute, because of malnutrition, she has some yellow face and thin muscles, there is no meat on her little face, and she is very short, so she looks far more pitiful than cute.
Zhong Xiaoxiao bent over Cui Jiuniang, and said crisply, "I've seen Sister Cui." ”
The smile on Jiu Niang's face was even worse, and her eyes were bent into a crescent moon.
At her age, it is more than enough to be Zhong Xiao's mother, but women want to be young, and the little girl's sister makes Jiuniang's heart bloom.
She kissed Zhong Xiaoxiao on the face, and said with a smile: "The little girl is really good at talking, go, my sister will take you to eat something delicious." ”
Li Xin was beside him, bent over to Cui Jiuniang, and said sincerely: "Sister Cui, during this time, my little sister entrusted my sister to take care of her, she is very sensible, and she shouldn't let my sister work too hard." ”
Cui Jiuniang held Zhong Xiaoxiao in her arms and smiled at Li Xin: "Okay, this little girl will be my sister-in-law in the future, you can go with you, I will take care of her." ”
Li Xin nodded, and said a few words to Zhong Xiaoxiao, and after letting her be obedient here, she was about to turn around and leave the proud building.
Cui Jiuniang called Li Xin softly and said softly: "Master Li, the prince wants to see you." ”
Li Xin stopped, a little hesitant: "It's not suitable, right?" ”
He is going to report to Yulinwei, and it is really not appropriate to meet a prince at this time.
Cui Jiuniang smiled indifferently: "The prince is in the proud building, I will let Ping'er lead you there, it will be okay to say a few words, no one will know." ”
Li Xin nodded slightly.
