Chapter 847: The Road Meets a Frightened Mule
The imperial sister's actions softened Li Chengyu's heart, no matter what Empress Dowager Zheng did to her mother back then, the eldest brother and eldest sister have always been good to their mother and son. The imperial sister is now the Zheng family, how can this grievance be sorted out?
Yan Bao'er saw that Zheng Bingde refused to help herself, so she had to take out her private money and ask the people in the backyard kitchenette to cook for her. The private money she has saved over the years has been wiped out with the raid of Fanyin Pavilion, and the money in her hand now is nothing more than the hairpin ring clothing that Wei Youqing bought for her at the beginning.
Originally, these things were also worth some money, but those grandmothers took the opportunity to strangle them, the lion opened their mouths, Yan Bao'er felt that Wei Youqing's return date was uncertain, and there was no one in her heart, so if she continued like this, she was afraid that she would starve to death in the waiting house.
On a moonless night, Yeon Boa changed into a water ghost suit, which she had already seen during the day, and there was a stream leading to the outside in a corner of the chrysanthemum garden. Although the stream was not deep, it could fully accommodate her slender figure.
The early winter in Jiangnan is already cold, and this moonless night is even more chilly. Yan Bao'er wrapped her remaining soft bags in oiled paper, and prepared to leave the waiting house to find another way to make a living.
Yan Bao'er took one last look at the Jiangnan Houfu in the shadows, she has always disliked sadness and sadness, and she has no nostalgia for the Jiangnan Houfu.
She is an orphan, she grew up in Qingpingfang since she was a child, and she is used to seeing people's faces that tend to be inflammatory, but she doesn't think there is anything strange about the attitude of the people in Jiangnan Houfu. She just wants to live, and whoever can give her a good life, she will follow.
followed Master first, then Zhao Feifei, and finally Wei Youqing. Who likes to listen to what and what they want to hear, Yan Bao'er knows but will only meet it when she has to. She doesn't like anyone, she doesn't hate anyone. It's boring to live but I still want to live.
It's just that the Jiangnan Houfu in front of her actually made Yan Baoer feel a little nostalgic and sad. Yan Bao'er shook her head self-deprecatingly and quietly dived into the stream.
Due to the absence of the owner of the house, the security in the house is not tight. Yan Bao'er sneaked out of Houfu smoothly, but did not go ashore, and still swam south along the creek.
The creek went all the way to the south, gradually widening, Yan Bao'er swam in the middle of the night, cold and hungry, so she came ashore to take off the water ghost suit, took out the men's cotton robe that had been prepared long ago from the oil-paper bag, put it on, and went south along the gradually widening riverbed.
The front of this river leads to Taihu Lake, where there are many wharves, rivers extend in all directions, wine shops and teahouses, and merchants from all over the world gather here, which is extremely lively and prosperous. Yeon Boa is going to go there to sing or if she is lucky, open a tavern for a living.
After walking for a long time in the dark night, the sky finally turned slightly white. There began to be a sporadic pedestrian on the road, most of them in a hurry, two or three people in groups, either in a car or on foot, with some goods more or less by their side.
These are small vendors, hurrying to catch a market in a town not far away. I didn't pay much attention to the thin guy next to me.
Yan Bao'er walked a little further alone cold and hungry, hoping that the sun would warm her body when it came out. But I didn't want not only did the sun not come out, but there were scattered small snowflakes falling down.
Yan Bao'er caught a snowflake and watched it turn into a drop of water in her palm. The drops of water persisted, making her palms wet and cold.
Yan Bao'er rubbed her hands in annoyance, letting her cold hands warm up again. She stomped her feet and hands all the way, slipping step by step on the thin particles of snow on the ground.
Yan Bao'er was a little worried, because she couldn't bring something too big, she didn't bring a cover roll. This meant that she had to go to the shop tonight, and because she was a woman, she couldn't live in that kind of chase shop like she usually did.
In this way, the money in her hand is not spent at all, and she still wants to keep some business capital, as well as house money...... Yan Bao'er couldn't help but sigh softly.
In the midst of sorrow, suddenly there were bursts of exclamations and the crazy screams of mules on the avenue ahead, and a big cart rushed towards this side!
In front of the car stood a lean chauffeur man, but only in a single coat on a cold day, he desperately pulled the reins in his hand, because of the competition with the sturdy black mule, his face was flushed, his forehead was exposed, and he kept shouting: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! Mules are crazy! ”
Although this person speaks official, he has a slight Leizhou accent, and he is obviously a Leizhou man.
It's just that Yan Bao'er in front of her can't care about this, the big car has already arrived in front of her, Yan Bao'er is so frightened that she doesn't know where to hide.
Seeing that the situation was critical, the Leizhou man pulled out a big knife from his side, and a cold light flashed between them, and a pillar of blood rose into the sky.
The mule didn't even scream and fell to the ground suddenly, Yan Bao'er was frightened by the blood in front of her, the cart brushed her body and tilted to the side, Yan Bao'er didn't have time to dodge, and was hit by the cart into the small river next to her.
The icy river water instantly soaked Yan Bao'er's cotton clothes, and the biting chill hit, and the soaked cotton robe was extremely heavy, dragging Du Yan Bao'er, who was about to freeze, to sink into the river.
Just when Yan Bao'er was about to be frozen unconscious by the cold river water, her body suddenly became lighter, and the cotton robe on her body was taken off. Then someone grabbed her from behind and took her out of the water.
When Yeon Boa woke up by a hot fire, the first thing she saw was a familiar face. She would have been very happy if she had seen this face a few days ago, but now she saw it only with horror.
"Interpretive Heart Child......" Yan Bao'er wanted to sit up and explain, but her whole body was sore, and she didn't have the strength or even the strength to make up a story about why she was here.
The other party laughed, his eyes were warm and kind, and he said kindly: "Are you ...... Yeon Boa? He then shook his head self-deprecatingly and patted his head, "No, it's abrupt, you're ......"
He obviously didn't know what to call Yan Bao'er, but Yan Bao'er didn't pay attention to this. She noticed that the person in front of her was not Yixin, and Yixin would not have such a warm smile, let alone talk to her so kindly.
Yan Bao'er knew that Yixin had a twin brother named Jingxin, so she asked cautiously, "Are you Jingxin's son?" ”
Jing Xin smiled: "Yes, I am Jing Xin, the younger brother of Yi Xin." The mules in our caravan just now were frightened, and I'm sorry. I don't know...... Where is Madame going? ”
Yan Bao'er heard that Jing Xin was very hesitant when she said the title of "madam", thinking of where she was "madam"? I'm afraid that even Mrs. Ru is not. She couldn't think of the little Jiujiu in Wei Youqing's heart, but the Zheng lady couldn't tolerate her.
