Her face did not change at all, and she calmly took the bamboo tube.

Fang Junhui enthusiastically introduced: "The old man's lotus leaf tea is made of ancestral secret recipes, unlike ordinary tea, which will have a bitter taste, and the taste of his house is fragrant. Miss Xue, can you give it a taste? ”

There is a piece of bamboo inserted in the opening of the bamboo tube, which can be drunk when it is opened, she pinched the bamboo piece with her fingers, pursed her lips and dialed it vigorously, but the bamboo piece did not move at all, as if it was glued to it.

Seeing this, Fang Junhui stretched out his hand, "Miss Xue, I'll help you." ”

Xue Jinyi turned sideways slightly, and her arm happened to block Fang Junhui's hand, "This little thing, don't bother Fang Gongzi, I'll just come by myself." ”

She glanced at Fang Junhui's position, and used force in her hand again, this time she "smoothly" pushed away the bamboo piece, but it seemed that because she used too much force, she staggered back two steps, and the hand holding the bamboo tube was raised, her wrist turned, flipped the bamboo tube, and the lotus leaf tea poured down, almost splashing on Fang Junhui's body.

"Oops," she stood firm, but looked at the bamboo tube pitifully, and shook it, and there was not a drop of water in it, "It's all to blame for my carelessness and wasting such a good lotus leaf tea." ”

A hint of loss flashed in Fang Junhui's eyes, and then he stepped forward with concern and asked, "Miss Xue, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Xue Jinyi waved her hand, "I just disappointed Fang Gongzi's kindness." ”

Fang Junhui smiled gently: "It's okay, I still have it here, Miss Xue will use it first, and I'll buy it later." ”

He distributed the remaining bamboo tubes to the three people, turned around and went to buy lotus leaf tea.

Xue Jinyi looked at the bamboo tube in her hand, she didn't plan to drink it, who knows if Fang Junhui did more in order to prevent accidents, so she handed the bamboo tube to Mama Yao, "I'm not thirsty now." ”

Mama Yao tasted the lotus leaf tea curiously, and said in surprise: "Sure enough, as Fang Gongzi said, it tastes good." ”

Miss and she lived a hard life in the Weiguo Mansion, and they didn't even drink a drop of such lotus leaf tea.

Fang Junhui came back from buying lotus leaf tea, and was about to speak, when there was a commotion not far away, followed by all kinds of crying and scolding sounds, which seemed very abrupt by the peaceful Changchun Lake.

A few people looked over, and it turned out to be more than a dozen ragged men, women, and children, holding broken bowls in their hands, pestering the tourists, and their dirty hands grabbed the corners of several people's luxurious brocade clothes, begging the tourists to reward some food and money.

In the eyes of those people, they seemed to be greatly offended, and the family raised their feet and kicked the beggar rudely, telling them to get away.

The beggars may have been hungry for a long time, so they can't get anything and don't give up, and they struggle to get entangled.

As a result, there was a commotion by Changchun Lake.

After seeing the reason clearly, Fang Junhui stood in front of Xue Jinyi and said: "Jinzhou and Liangzhou suffered a drought that was rare in a century, starvation was everywhere, the epidemic continued, and the officials were unfavorable for disaster relief, which led to the local people being dispersed, and many people came to the capital, but they were exhausted, and there were no relatives in the local area, and the imperial court ordered that they were not allowed to enter the city, so they could only become beggars and beg outside the city for a living. ”

Zhao sighed: "The big families in the city have given porridge several times, but it is not a way. ”

Over there, the tourists found the people of the yamen and drove the beggars away from the Changchun Lake as if they were driving the livestock, and the beggars were frightened and fled in all directions, pushing and shoving in the crowd, and broke out more piercing screams.

"Ahh

"Run, if you are captured by the yamen, you will be killed!"

“……”

With all kinds of noisy and shouting sounds, the crowd came like a flood, and Fang Junhui said: "Miss Xue, let's go back to the painting boat quickly, so as not to be bumped into by beggars." ”

Xue Jinyi hurriedly turned around and ran.

Mama Yao followed, raising a hand behind her.

Looking at Xue Jinyi's back, Fang Junhui squinted his eyes, a hint of sharp color flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly took a step.

A few people hurried back to the pier, but the number of tourists who were harassed by beggars and were about to leave the south shore suddenly increased dramatically, and the dock was crowded and impassable.

The road ahead is impassable, and there are "chasing soldiers" behind, but it is obvious that there is a way to survive only by moving forward.

Of the four people together, only Mama Yao had a different identity, and she shouted "please let me go" while trying to break away from the crowd.

Xue Jinyi looked back, the beggars had already come closer, many girls were scared and cried, cowering and hiding by the trees, others seemed to be afraid of being infected by the plague, and ran away, and the scenery became the scene of escape, but the people of the yamen did not realize that their too vicious law enforcement behavior brought the riot here, and they still shouted and shouted to arrest the beggars.

"Miss, come this way," at this time, Mama Yao shouted, waving her hand to Xue Jinyi.

She was about to pass when a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the crowd and pushed her towards the beggars passing by.

Xue Jinyi was caught off guard, the soles of her feet seemed to be smeared with oil, she couldn't stop at all, and retreated again and again. She waved her arms to grab the outstretched leaves of a peach tree.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I grabbed it, there was a crisp sound of "pop", and the peach branch broke in response!

Seeing that she was about to be planted in the beggar's pile, a hand reached over, grasped her wrist steadily, and then gently pulled her, leading her behind the peach tree.

Xue Jinyi looked at the hand on her wrist and felt a little familiar, but when she wanted to take a closer look, the hand let go, and then the black shadow in front of her swayed, and there was no one in front of her.

She looked blankly at the reddened fingerprints on her wrists, and then at the crowd.

The people of the yamen chased the beggar away, and gradually it became less noisy.

"Miss, are you alright?" Mama Yao panted and ran over and nervously looked at her whole body carefully.

Fang Junhui and Zhao also rushed over, he looked apologetic, and asked with concern, "Miss Xue, have you been hurt anywhere?" ”

Xue Jinyi retracted her gaze and shook her head at them, "I'm fine, someone pulled me just now." ”

Mama Yao wiped the corners of her eyes, "Fortunately, Miss is fine, how can these people be so rude and almost hurt Miss." ”

Xue Jinyi patted her on the shoulder, "It's okay, Mama, let's leave when there are fewer people." ”

"Who is the person who saved you just now, I haven't thought of him to thank you yet." Mama Yao said.

Xue Jinyi shook her head, "That person is already gone, I ......" She thought about the hand and continued: "I didn't see his appearance clearly. ”

"What a nice guy." Mama Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, come and drink saliva to suppress the shock." ”

Xue Jinyi was really shocked just now, if there was no person who dragged him and accidentally fell into the crowd, it was likely that a serious stampede would occur, and if he was not trampled to death, he would have a blue nose and swollen face into a pig's head.

She took the bamboo tube handed by Mama Yao, raised her head and took a big sip.

The cold, sweet, bitter tea flowed through her tongue, and she was so excited that the bamboo tube in her hand almost fell to the ground.

This is the lotus leaf tea that Fang Junhui bought!
