A certain attack stole the cabbage from Tiandi's house
Chapter 3 Abduction
The warm sun peeked out from under the mountains in the east. Liu Erya boiled the water, boiled the soybean milk, dried the clothes, cut the vegetables. Aunt Zhang called to help sell vegetables.
The vegetables just harvested in the morning are green and oily, and there are still a few crystal clear dewdrops on them, which look extremely fresh.
There are very few customers in the morning market in Sanhe Town, and the vegetables will not be sold out until the sun is up.If it can't be sold out in the morning, the vegetables will be wrinkled in the afternoon, and if they can't be sold, they can only be sold to pig dealers to feed pigs.In this way, the money earned will be less.
But now that the Liu family has an extra "son", Aunt Zhang suggested that they take their vegetables to Cannes to sell.Two teenagers pulled a small donkey vegetable cart and went out of town.
This donkey has been raised for two and a half years and is named Zhaocai.Zhaocai has a bad temper, so Liu Daniu seldom uses it to pull a cart.However, since we were going to buy vegetables at the morning market near Cannes, it would take an hour just to walk, so we decided to let the donkeys pull the vegetable carts while riding in the vegetable carts, which saved a lot of energy.
The vegetable cart is neither too big nor too small, and it is just right for two people to sit on it with two large baskets of vegetables.The river was gurgling, and the air in the woods was fresh. Liu Erya sat behind Liu Daniu, admiring the scenery along the way.
The donkey cart crossed the small bridge, and the rolling mud passed under the small bridge. The river water was mixed with mud and sand, like a muddy pool of paint.This is the Shachuan River in front of Sanhe Town.
After crossing this bridge, the Shachuan morning market in Cannes is conveniently in front of you. It is the second busiest place in Cannes besides Yisheng Road.
The reason why Cannes is called Cannes is that there are many medical clinics and pharmacies in the city, and the people are well-conditioned and healthy, so it is called Cannes.On Yisheng Road, there lived Dr. Luo Tong, a world-renowned miracle doctor.Hearing that Luo Tong once treated the emperor's heart disease, the emperor spent ten thousand taels of gold to invite him to be an imperial doctor in the palace, but he was indifferent.
Facing Huang Jinwanliang without any hesitation, and keeping in mind the duty of a doctor, he is really a rare good doctor.Therefore, the common people named the nameless hut where he practiced medicine "Youliang Medical Center".
The Shachuan morning market is crowded with people, some sell tea and breakfast, and some sell cloth and scriptures.The two of them and the donkey struggled across the narrow road and stopped at the empty space next to the man who sold fish and eggs.
The donkey cart was too big and the donkey was stubborn. The two of them were sweating profusely while dragging the cart, panting one after another.
In fact, when he was on the bridge, Liu Daniu looked at the busy morning market and wanted to park the donkey cart by the river, and he and Liu Erya walked over to sell vegetables with their baskets on their shoulders.But he remembered what his mother had said: "We don't have a business license. If we encounter market management, the donkey cart will run faster."
Thinking about it made sense, Liu Daniu's resentment towards the donkey in front of him dissipated slightly, he yawned, and started to sell: "Fresh vegetables, come and see!"
I don't know if it's because the vegetables are fresh or the vegetable sellers are good-looking, but as soon as he yelled, a group of women shopping together gathered in front of the car.There were a few little girls in the back who couldn't squeeze in. They stood on tiptoes and looked up. After looking around, they lowered their heads shyly and sniggered.
It was Liu Erya's first time helping to sell vegetables, and she didn't have much experience. Apart from packing vegetables for others, she would only smile and say thank you.
The old man squatting on the ground next to him selling eggs moved the eggs to the side, fearing that the women around the donkey cart would accidentally step on his eggs.Hearing Liu Erya say thank you, he couldn't help being a little startled. He asked Liu Daniu, who was standing by and counting the money, "What's wrong with your wife's voice? Her voice is as thick as a man's. Is there something wrong?"
Liu Daniu's face was full of black lines, and he didn't bother to explain to him.Liu Erya smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa, you misunderstood me, I am a man."
When Liu Erya was in Sanhe Town, he was often recognized as a girl by his neighbors. He was used to it. After all, he also admitted that he did have a gender-incompatible appearance.
Liu Erya smiled kindly, and was honest and honest. Some women who were greedy for beauty had the cheek to introduce him to a partner, but he only kindly expressed that he was still young.
In less than a stick of incense, a cart of vegetables has already been sold out.Liu Daniu sat on the stone steps in front of the carpenter's shop, bought a piece of sesame seed cake and stared at the vegetable stand surrounded by women and girls in the distance, shaking his head and sighing helplessly.
It was the first time that the vegetables sold out quickly, and it was also the first time that the road was blocked by people when the vegetables were sold out.
After eating the biscuits, Liu Daniu was a little impatient, and stood behind Liu Erya, staring blankly at the group of women who were eager to marry their daughters.Those women found a dark-skinned and burly man staring at them, so they naturally dispersed.
Seeing those women leaving one after another, Liu Erya breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the papers with addresses and names written in her hands, she didn't know what to do with them.
Liu Daniu jumped into the donkey cart, grabbed the papers in his hand, threw them to the uncle next to him, and said, "I'll pack eggs for you!" Then he drove the donkey cart, ready to go home and sleep in the cage.
The donkey couldn't run fast at all, and Liu Daniu, who was a bit impatient, whipped him for money all the way. Liu Erya didn't stop him several times. The final consequence was that after returning home, Liu Daniu's head was kicked by the donkey, and he immediately fainted. shed.This is revenge from the stubborn donkey, in order to exhort the world to treat small animals kindly.
Liu Daniu, whose head was kicked by a donkey, lay on the bed for several days, and Liu Erya was forced to go to the market alone with a donkey cart to sell vegetables for several days.
She had been out in public for several days, but she didn't hear that Liu Erya's relatives came to claim it. Aunt Zhang was a little puzzled, but also a little relieved.
The next day, Liu Erya came early, before dawn, the Shachuan morning market was sparsely populated, and the donkey cart stopped at the stall without any hindrance.The strong wind blew up, rolled up the sand and rocks, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, blocking the faint morning light, and the earth slowly darkened.
Seeing that it was about to rain, Liu Erya pulled the donkey cart and looked for a roof to shelter from the rain.There was a sound of horseshoes ahead, and the sand was flying, as if someone was on their way.A palm-sized kitten ran out of the street, and was about to be hit by a carriage. Liu Erya rushed over, protecting the kitten in her arms at the critical moment, and brushed against the wheel. However, he rolled on the ground.Confirming that the little orange cat was fine, Liu Erya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a loud knocking sound coming from the front.
Liu Erya heard the reputation and looked over. The carriage that was driving just now was stuck by something. The carriage tilted to one side, and the wheel on the right was off the ground and was still spinning slowly.What was stuck on the carriage was a dark mass, the sky was very dark, and because the sky was full of dust, Liu Erya was separated by two feet, so she really couldn't see what the carriage knocked down.
Liu Erya put the kitten back in a safe alley, walked in and saw that it was a donkey stuck under the carriage.Looking back along the rope on the donkey, it was a vegetable cart that had fallen to the ground.
The vegetable leaves were scattered all over the ground, and Liu Erya looked under the eaves where she parked the donkey cart just now, and found that there was nothing there.After a long pause, he realized that the one stuck under the carriage was his own donkey.
Liu Erya hurriedly squatted down to check, and called anxiously: "Zhaocai, are you okay?"
It's okay to make money, I didn't look at the car when I crossed the road, I was kicked by a horse, and my head hurts, but I can't say how to make money.
The carriage shook, and an old man in dark purple clothes was helped out of the carriage by the driver and attendants.Walking unsteadily to Liu Erya, he raised his forehead and asked, "Is this your donkey?"
The old man had a bean-sized mole on his mouth, and a large bump on his forehead, which must have been accidentally bumped in a car accident.Liu Erya stepped forward and saluted, her face full of guilt and helplessness: "I'm sorry, I didn't look after the donkey cart, which surprised you." He had no money on him, so he picked up the vegetable basket on the ground and saw the basket inside. The vegetables in the basket were still intact, except that the leaves were covered with dust, so he handed the basket of vegetables to the old man, "This...is an apology."
A basket of vegetables can be sold for [-] Wen, which is a lot to Liu Erya, but it is a drop in the bucket to the old man in front of him, and he doesn't even care about it.
The attendant who supported the old man picked up the vegetable basket, threw it a few feet away, and said with a cold snort, "Who do you think the master is, who can be dismissed by you with a basket of vegetables?"
Liu Erya said truthfully: "I... have no money with me."
The old man was supported by the attendants and approached a little bit, maybe because of his poor eyesight, he walked a little closer and found that he was a beautiful girl... son.Although it is a pity to be a son, but since he is beautiful, he should be able to sell for a good price.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and drizzle fell.The old man thought of his master, and felt that it was a pity that he sold it, so he might as well take it back and present it to the master as a gift.After tying him into the car, he thought about it again, and felt that something was wrong, so he asked Erya Liu to guide him back to Liu's house.
The brand-new carriage stopped at the door of Liu's house. The thunderstorm was heavy, and the raindrops hit the weeds, tick-tock.The curtains on the carriage were blown up by the wind, bringing in big raindrops, which wet the cushions.
Liu Erya was tied to the carriage, watched by the attendant who threw his vegetable basket.With the support of other attendants, the old man walked into the hall, and he didn't know what he talked with Aunt Zhang.Halfway through the conversation, Aunt Zhang brought paper and ink from the room and asked the old man to write something.
The dark clouds in the sky are like wings, covering Peizhou in shadow.The rain that poured in wet half of Liu Erya's body, but he vaguely looked out the window in a daze.
He was wondering what happened to the donkey, and wondered if someone would help it up; he was also wondering what happened to the little orange cat, whether it would be washed into the ditch by the heavy rain.
I just don't want to think about it, if my hands and feet are tied up, what will happen...
The sound of the rain gradually subsided, and under the order of the old man, the attendant rudely drove Liu Erya off the carriage without untying him. Liu Erya was directly pushed off the carriage by him and fell onto the puddle.
It was not until she watched the old man leave that Liu Erya was untied by Aunt Zhang and brought back to the house.
The heavy rain was about to stop, and the sky was dimly bright. Aunt Zhang blew out the candles on the table, opened the window, and turned her back to Liu Erya, her shoulders were trembling, and she didn't know whether she was crying or laughing.
Liu Erya lowered her head, like a child who has done something wrong and is waiting to be punished.
The two people in the hall were silent for a while, and it was Liu Erya who spoke first: "Mother, I want to bring Zhaocai back." After a pause, he felt that his mother might be sad about losing money, and then said, "If If I want to lose money, I will find a way. I can grow some vegetables, I can help Aunt Qiu wash the dishes, and I can also go to the library to copy books to make money. Mother, don’t worry."
Aunt Zhang hugged him and cried, "Silly boy, do you know that you got into trouble? We don't have much money at home." She quietly yawned a few times, then blinked wildly, forcing herself to burst into tears, " Tomorrow morning, you pack your bags... Huh, go find your father... Mother really can't afford you..."
Hearing this kind of words, ordinary children should be very sad, and they will feel resentment towards their relatives who abandoned them. When they grow up, they will try their best to make them repay their unfulfilled responsibilities, and then do something that makes them feel guilty and regretful. At first.
But Liu Erya is not this kind of person.He is pure in heart, simple and kind, and he didn't feel disgusted by his mother because he was abandoned by her. On the contrary, he felt sorry for the crying "mother" in front of him, and felt that he was at fault. He made her cry so sadly. I felt very guilty and apologized again and again.On the bullock cart, he was still apologizing.
Early the next morning, Aunt Zhang got a broken ox cart from nowhere.The ox cart was full of dust, the curtains were torn, and the old cow was out of breath after just a few steps, and he didn't know how many miles he could walk.
Liu Daniu, who had a concussion, had been lying on the bed for three days and had recovered. Although Aunt Zhang forced her to take Liu Erya to Jing'an City, the capital, she was a little reluctant, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with it for the sake of money.
Watching the broken ox cart disappear at the intersection of Sanhe Town, Aunt Zhang turned around and entered the house, covered her mouth, clapped her hands and laughed wildly: "I want to get rich!"
Peizhou is next door to Jing'an City, and it takes about two days' drive to take a shortcut.The old cow seemed to be a little sick. He stopped for a mile, stopped for a mile, stopped and stopped, and the sun was setting, and they were still in Peizhou.
The ox cart was parked in the bamboo forest of Kangcheng, and the afterglow of the Wuhe River could be seen from a distance.
There was no extra money to stay in the inn, so Liu Erya and Liu Daniu could only barely spend the night in a broken ox cart.Liu Daniu said that the cow is not good enough, and it may take four days to walk to Jing'an City.Liu Erya felt sorry for the old cow, and often asked the cow to stop and rest, but she was not in a hurry.
The old cow was grazing by the river, and Liu Daniu was sitting on a gravel in the bamboo forest, eating the dry rice crust his mother made for him.Liu Erya came back from fetching water from the river, sat down on a nearby rock, and didn't eat anything, as if he wasn't hungry in the first place.
Liu Erya was a little curious about her father's affairs, so she asked, "Where are we going in Jing'an City?"
Liu Daniu ate the crispy rice, and said vaguely: "Imperial Palace."
Liu Erya asked again: "Imperial Palace? Does Dad work in the Imperial Palace?"
Liu Daniu let out a "huh".Seeing that he was having difficulty swallowing, Liu Erya opened the water bag and handed it over.Liu Daniu gulped and drank the water, and Liu Erya continued to ask, "Daddy...hasn't he been home?"
Liu Daniu said: "I've died long ago..."
Liu Erya said "ah?", Liu Daniu coughed, and changed his words: "In my heart, he died a long time ago."
The bright moon hangs high, night falls, and the bamboo forest is dark.Liu Erya huddled in the bullock cart, unable to fall asleep for a long time, cold wind blowing in from time to time outside the window, and the tattered curtains reflected the shadows of the whirling trees, as if there were phantoms shaking.Liu Erya's heart trembled, and she quickly closed her eyes.
The next day, before dawn, they started on their way, walking through village after village in lush green forests.At noon, passing through the noisy market on Yisheng Road, I finally saw the towering city gate.
But at this time, the ox cart broke down.
The car repairer said: "The car is worn out. This is an old bullock cart. We don't have this kind of parts in our shop. Sir, why don't you buy a new one? It's approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is a 50% discount. A new second-hand car The car only costs [-] taels of silver."
Liu Daniu said he would not buy it, not because he thought the price was too expensive, but mainly because the car with 50 taels of silver did not include horses.He didn't think the old cow could go hundreds of miles pulling the new cart.
Lao Niu was able to rest, Liu Erya felt very good, and had no opinion on whether to buy a car or not.
There are people coming and going at the gate of the city. Not only is the population of the country large, but the goods sold on the street stalls are even more dazzling.Liu Daniu bought a package of pineapple cakes, and planned to take them back to let his mother taste the different flavors of shortcakes from Peizhou.
Liu Erya was sitting on the small stone steps of the shop next to the city gate, and the big brother who sold sweet soup saw a beautiful man sitting outside his shop, holding a bowl of sweet soup, and happily sent it over.
Liu Erya raised her hand in embarrassment to decline, saying, "I...have no money with me."
When listening to this beautiful man's clear male voice, a trace of surprise flashed across Brother Tiantang's face.But no matter what he said, he was still from Jing'an City. He lived by selling sweet soup beside the city gate all year round. He had never seen such a person.There are still some handsome men in the city.For example, in the Tingyu Building, the nine young masters with superb piano skills are the most beautiful men in Jing'an City.
However, that was before Liu Erya appeared.Now Big Brother Tiantang thinks that this white and clean young man with beautiful eyes is worthy of the words "the most beautiful man".
Brother Tiantang sat down on the stone steps with him in a friendly manner, handed over the black porcelain bowl, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm here to treat you to a drink, and there's no charge for it."
Liu Erya didn't take the bowl, but asked, "Brother, is there any shortage of people in your store?"
Looking at his shabby clothes, he doesn't look like someone from Jing'an City.Brother Tiantang thought that he was coming to work as a temporary worker to make money, so he kindly led him to the back kitchen to wash the dishes.When he asked to be paid after washing the dishes, Liu Erya refused, saying that he would not be rewarded for his merits, and that the dishes he washed were like a bowl of sweet soup.
Brother Tiantang stared blankly at Liu Erya's leaving figure with a few copper coins.I thought to myself that in this world, it would be very difficult to meet another person as good-looking and sincere as Liu Erya.
Jing'an City is lively, but the storefronts and houses on the street are very simple and dimly colored.From entering the city until now, it seems that there has not been a trace of red.The people passing by were dressed in light clothes, and the women in the brothel were also wearing plain clothes, which was a bit unusual.
After Liu Daniu bought the special products, he led Liu Erya to squat beside the city gate, waiting for a ride from a kind-hearted person.It's just that kind-hearted people don't seem to be very common these days.They squatted there for a long time, but they didn't get a ride. Instead, they heard a lot of trivia about the city.
I heard from the guard at the gate of the city that the emperor's most beloved Princess Zhaokang had just died, and he ordered the whole city to mourn for half a year.At this time, it was the third month since Princess Zhaokang passed away.
The young man eating noodles at the side said: "I heard that His Majesty was very depressed after the death of the princess, and he was ill for more than half a month before getting better. It can be seen that His Majesty really loves the princess."
The person sitting at the same table sighed: "But His Majesty is suffering from heart disease, and it is not an option to be sad all the time."
Another person said: "I don't know when His Majesty will come out again... I heard that the concubines in the harem have been neglected by His Majesty for more than a month. Your Majesty's dragon body is really worrying."
The three of them shook their heads and sighed.
There are not many tables and chairs at the noodle stall. Seeing the young people occupying the seats after eating the noodles, the noodle shop proprietress rushed over unfriendlyly: "Hurry up and leave after eating, there are still customers waiting!"
The old group of guests left, and a new group came.
Liu Daniu's eyes were filled with envy, and he said, "The business is really good. It would be great if Peizhou was as lively as this."
Erya Liu said: "Brother, don't you want to move to Jing'an City with your mother? It's closer to Dad."
Liu Daniu replied decisively: "I don't want to."
Liu Erya was silent for a moment, then asked curiously: "Brother, dad...what's your name?"
Liu Daniu curled his lips, and said three words "Song Xiaocheng" casually.
Song Yan, courtesy name Xiaocheng.
The name that everyone in the Liang Empire feared.
Liu Erya let out an "oh", but she didn't realize that his "father" had a different surname from his.
The two of them squatted on the edge of the city gate for an unknown how long, watching the sun in the sky slide down to the west.Just when Liu Daniu was full of impatience and wanted to go back and take out the old cow left in the stable of the car repair shop for a ride, a carriage walked up to him.
Before Liu Daniu could stop him, the carriage stopped by itself.A 12-year-old boy jumped out of the carriage and squatted beside Liu Erya crying with tears in his eyes.The accompanying aunt ran over, trying to pull him back into the car, but the little boy cried even louder, hugging Liu Erya's thigh and refused to leave.
Liu Erya's heart softened, she patted his head, and said softly, "What's wrong?"
The little boy raised his head, looked at Liu Erya aggrievedly, and cried, "They're going to sell me out, they're all bad guys!"
The aunt who was in the same car patted his arm and said: "What nonsense, this is what the master meant. The family was defeated, and the master hopes that you will have a better life when you enter the palace."
The little boy whimpered and cried: "I don't want to enter the palace...you don't want me anymore, and no one will want me if I enter the palace..."
Liu Erya comforted: "It's okay, no one will want you. I also want to enter the palace, and I can take you with me in the future."
The little boy choked for a while, because Liu Erya was really good-looking, she looked a bit like his mother, and had an indescribable intimacy, so he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with entering the palace.He sniffed and asked, "Really?"
Liu Erya nodded with a smile.
The little boy happily drove to the palace with Liu Erya in the carriage.A big naive and a little naive were brought to the back door of the palace by two big bad wolves.
The vegetables just harvested in the morning are green and oily, and there are still a few crystal clear dewdrops on them, which look extremely fresh.
There are very few customers in the morning market in Sanhe Town, and the vegetables will not be sold out until the sun is up.If it can't be sold out in the morning, the vegetables will be wrinkled in the afternoon, and if they can't be sold, they can only be sold to pig dealers to feed pigs.In this way, the money earned will be less.

The old man was supported by the attendants and approached a little bit, maybe because of his poor eyesight, he walked a little closer and found that he was a beautiful girl... son.Although it is a pity to be a son, but since he is beautiful, he should be able to sell for a good price.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and drizzle fell.The old man thought of his master, and felt that it was a pity that he sold it, so he might as well take it back and present it to the master as a gift.After tying him into the car, he thought about it again, and felt that something was wrong, so he asked Erya Liu to guide him back to Liu's house.
The brand-new carriage stopped at the door of Liu's house. The thunderstorm was heavy, and the raindrops hit the weeds, tick-tock.The curtains on the carriage were blown up by the wind, bringing in big raindrops, which wet the cushions.
Liu Erya was tied to the carriage, watched by the attendant who threw his vegetable basket.With the support of other attendants, the old man walked into the hall, and he didn't know what he talked with Aunt Zhang.Halfway through the conversation, Aunt Zhang brought paper and ink from the room and asked the old man to write something.
The dark clouds in the sky are like wings, covering Peizhou in shadow.The rain that poured in wet half of Liu Erya's body, but he vaguely looked out the window in a daze.
He was wondering what happened to the donkey, and wondered if someone would help it up; he was also wondering what happened to the little orange cat, whether it would be washed into the ditch by the heavy rain.
I just don't want to think about it, if my hands and feet are tied up, what will happen...
The sound of the rain gradually subsided, and under the order of the old man, the attendant rudely drove Liu Erya off the carriage without untying him. Liu Erya was directly pushed off the carriage by him and fell onto the puddle.
It was not until she watched the old man leave that Liu Erya was untied by Aunt Zhang and brought back to the house.
The heavy rain was about to stop, and the sky was dimly bright. Aunt Zhang blew out the candles on the table, opened the window, and turned her back to Liu Erya, her shoulders were trembling, and she didn't know whether she was crying or laughing.
Liu Erya lowered her head, like a child who has done something wrong and is waiting to be punished.
The two people in the hall were silent for a while, and it was Liu Erya who spoke first: "Mother, I want to bring Zhaocai back." After a pause, he felt that his mother might be sad about losing money, and then said, "If If I want to lose money, I will find a way. I can grow some vegetables, I can help Aunt Qiu wash the dishes, and I can also go to the library to copy books to make money. Mother, don’t worry."
Aunt Zhang hugged him and cried, "Silly boy, do you know that you got into trouble? We don't have much money at home." She quietly yawned a few times, then blinked wildly, forcing herself to burst into tears, " Tomorrow morning, you pack your bags... Huh, go find your father... Mother really can't afford you..."
Hearing this kind of words, ordinary children should be very sad, and they will feel resentment towards their relatives who abandoned them. When they grow up, they will try their best to make them repay their unfulfilled responsibilities, and then do something that makes them feel guilty and regretful. At first.
But Liu Erya is not this kind of person.He is pure in heart, simple and kind, and he didn't feel disgusted by his mother because he was abandoned by her. On the contrary, he felt sorry for the crying "mother" in front of him, and felt that he was at fault. He made her cry so sadly. I felt very guilty and apologized again and again.On the bullock cart, he was still apologizing.
Early the next morning, Aunt Zhang got a broken ox cart from nowhere.The ox cart was full of dust, the curtains were torn, and the old cow was out of breath after just a few steps, and he didn't know how many miles he could walk.
Liu Daniu, who had a concussion, had been lying on the bed for three days and had recovered. Although Aunt Zhang forced her to take Liu Erya to Jing'an City, the capital, she was a little reluctant, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with it for the sake of money.
Watching the broken ox cart disappear at the intersection of Sanhe Town, Aunt Zhang turned around and entered the house, covered her mouth, clapped her hands and laughed wildly: "I want to get rich!"
Peizhou is next door to Jing'an City, and it takes about two days' drive to take a shortcut.The old cow seemed to be a little sick. He stopped for a mile, stopped for a mile, stopped and stopped, and the sun was setting, and they were still in Peizhou.
The ox cart was parked in the bamboo forest of Kangcheng, and the afterglow of the Wuhe River could be seen from a distance.
There was no extra money to stay in the inn, so Liu Erya and Liu Daniu could only barely spend the night in a broken ox cart.Liu Daniu said that the cow is not good enough, and it may take four days to walk to Jing'an City.Liu Erya felt sorry for the old cow, and often asked the cow to stop and rest, but she was not in a hurry.
The old cow was grazing by the river, and Liu Daniu was sitting on a gravel in the bamboo forest, eating the dry rice crust his mother made for him.Liu Erya came back from fetching water from the river, sat down on a nearby rock, and didn't eat anything, as if he wasn't hungry in the first place.
Liu Erya was a little curious about her father's affairs, so she asked, "Where are we going in Jing'an City?"
Liu Daniu ate the crispy rice, and said vaguely: "Imperial Palace."
Liu Erya asked again: "Imperial Palace? Does Dad work in the Imperial Palace?"
Liu Daniu let out a "huh".Seeing that he was having difficulty swallowing, Liu Erya opened the water bag and handed it over.Liu Daniu gulped and drank the water, and Liu Erya continued to ask, "Daddy...hasn't he been home?"
Liu Daniu said: "I've died long ago..."
Liu Erya said "ah?", Liu Daniu coughed, and changed his words: "In my heart, he died a long time ago."
The bright moon hangs high, night falls, and the bamboo forest is dark.Liu Erya huddled in the bullock cart, unable to fall asleep for a long time, cold wind blowing in from time to time outside the window, and the tattered curtains reflected the shadows of the whirling trees, as if there were phantoms shaking.Liu Erya's heart trembled, and she quickly closed her eyes.
The next day, before dawn, they started on their way, walking through village after village in lush green forests.At noon, passing through the noisy market on Yisheng Road, I finally saw the towering city gate.
But at this time, the ox cart broke down.
The car repairer said: "The car is worn out. This is an old bullock cart. We don't have this kind of parts in our shop. Sir, why don't you buy a new one? It's approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is a 50% discount. A new second-hand car The car only costs [-] taels of silver."
Liu Daniu said he would not buy it, not because he thought the price was too expensive, but mainly because the car with 50 taels of silver did not include horses.He didn't think the old cow could go hundreds of miles pulling the new cart.
Lao Niu was able to rest, Liu Erya felt very good, and had no opinion on whether to buy a car or not.
There are people coming and going at the gate of the city. Not only is the population of the country large, but the goods sold on the street stalls are even more dazzling.Liu Daniu bought a package of pineapple cakes, and planned to take them back to let his mother taste the different flavors of shortcakes from Peizhou.
Liu Erya was sitting on the small stone steps of the shop next to the city gate, and the big brother who sold sweet soup saw a beautiful man sitting outside his shop, holding a bowl of sweet soup, and happily sent it over.
Liu Erya raised her hand in embarrassment to decline, saying, "I...have no money with me."
When listening to this beautiful man's clear male voice, a trace of surprise flashed across Brother Tiantang's face.But no matter what he said, he was still from Jing'an City. He lived by selling sweet soup beside the city gate all year round. He had never seen such a person.There are still some handsome men in the city.For example, in the Tingyu Building, the nine young masters with superb piano skills are the most beautiful men in Jing'an City.
However, that was before Liu Erya appeared.Now Big Brother Tiantang thinks that this white and clean young man with beautiful eyes is worthy of the words "the most beautiful man".
Brother Tiantang sat down on the stone steps with him in a friendly manner, handed over the black porcelain bowl, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm here to treat you to a drink, and there's no charge for it."
Liu Erya didn't take the bowl, but asked, "Brother, is there any shortage of people in your store?"
Looking at his shabby clothes, he doesn't look like someone from Jing'an City.Brother Tiantang thought that he was coming to work as a temporary worker to make money, so he kindly led him to the back kitchen to wash the dishes.When he asked to be paid after washing the dishes, Liu Erya refused, saying that he would not be rewarded for his merits, and that the dishes he washed were like a bowl of sweet soup.
Brother Tiantang stared blankly at Liu Erya's leaving figure with a few copper coins.I thought to myself that in this world, it would be very difficult to meet another person as good-looking and sincere as Liu Erya.
Jing'an City is lively, but the storefronts and houses on the street are very simple and dimly colored.From entering the city until now, it seems that there has not been a trace of red.The people passing by were dressed in light clothes, and the women in the brothel were also wearing plain clothes, which was a bit unusual.
After Liu Daniu bought the special products, he led Liu Erya to squat beside the city gate, waiting for a ride from a kind-hearted person.It's just that kind-hearted people don't seem to be very common these days.They squatted there for a long time, but they didn't get a ride. Instead, they heard a lot of trivia about the city.
I heard from the guard at the gate of the city that the emperor's most beloved Princess Zhaokang had just died, and he ordered the whole city to mourn for half a year.At this time, it was the third month since Princess Zhaokang passed away.
The young man eating noodles at the side said: "I heard that His Majesty was very depressed after the death of the princess, and he was ill for more than half a month before getting better. It can be seen that His Majesty really loves the princess."
The person sitting at the same table sighed: "But His Majesty is suffering from heart disease, and it is not an option to be sad all the time."
Another person said: "I don't know when His Majesty will come out again... I heard that the concubines in the harem have been neglected by His Majesty for more than a month. Your Majesty's dragon body is really worrying."
The three of them shook their heads and sighed.
There are not many tables and chairs at the noodle stall. Seeing the young people occupying the seats after eating the noodles, the noodle shop proprietress rushed over unfriendlyly: "Hurry up and leave after eating, there are still customers waiting!"
The old group of guests left, and a new group came.
Liu Daniu's eyes were filled with envy, and he said, "The business is really good. It would be great if Peizhou was as lively as this."
Erya Liu said: "Brother, don't you want to move to Jing'an City with your mother? It's closer to Dad."
Liu Daniu replied decisively: "I don't want to."
Liu Erya was silent for a moment, then asked curiously: "Brother, dad...what's your name?"
Liu Daniu curled his lips, and said three words "Song Xiaocheng" casually.
Song Yan, courtesy name Xiaocheng.
The name that everyone in the Liang Empire feared.
Liu Erya let out an "oh", but she didn't realize that his "father" had a different surname from his.
The two of them squatted on the edge of the city gate for an unknown how long, watching the sun in the sky slide down to the west.Just when Liu Daniu was full of impatience and wanted to go back and take out the old cow left in the stable of the car repair shop for a ride, a carriage walked up to him.
Before Liu Daniu could stop him, the carriage stopped by itself.A 12-year-old boy jumped out of the carriage and squatted beside Liu Erya crying with tears in his eyes.The accompanying aunt ran over, trying to pull him back into the car, but the little boy cried even louder, hugging Liu Erya's thigh and refused to leave.
Liu Erya's heart softened, she patted his head, and said softly, "What's wrong?"
The little boy raised his head, looked at Liu Erya aggrievedly, and cried, "They're going to sell me out, they're all bad guys!"
The aunt who was in the same car patted his arm and said: "What nonsense, this is what the master meant. The family was defeated, and the master hopes that you will have a better life when you enter the palace."
The little boy whimpered and cried: "I don't want to enter the palace...you don't want me anymore, and no one will want me if I enter the palace..."
Liu Erya comforted: "It's okay, no one will want you. I also want to enter the palace, and I can take you with me in the future."
The little boy choked for a while, because Liu Erya was really good-looking, she looked a bit like his mother, and had an indescribable intimacy, so he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with entering the palace.He sniffed and asked, "Really?"
Liu Erya nodded with a smile.
The little boy happily drove to the palace with Liu Erya in the carriage.A big naive and a little naive were brought to the back door of the palace by two big bad wolves.
