As if to let him out.

The place where Tie Bao was locked up was in a small room on the left side of the prison door. It was presumed that he could not escape, and the prison door was not even locked.

Feihua saw the child at a glance.Holding her head and burying her head in her bent knees, the helpless and frightened look reminded Feihua of the first time she saw him.

Feihua walked in, squatted in front of him, and stroked his messy hair.

Tie Bao flinched slightly, stiff for a moment when touched.

"Little Treasure..."

Tie Bao's shrunken shoulders moved a few times, and a head quickly lifted from between his arms. The tear stains on that small face and the crease marks pressed by his clothes intersected, looking like a wolf that just crawled out of a trap. little wild cat.

"Master, master, woo...Master..."

Just like when we first met, Tie Bao burst into tears holding Feihua, and tears soon soaked Feihua's skirt.

Feihua hugged him and sat down on the straw, silently letting him cry.

This kid knew that sooner or later he would get into trouble, and if he hadn't suffered, he had no memory at all.

"Okay, stop crying, it's so dirty. Tell me what's going on."

Tie Bao jumped up when he heard the words, grabbed Feihua's arm with both hands, "Master, I didn't steal anything! Really, really, I have never seen Madam's bracelet. At that time, it was the jade bracelet next to Madam. Sister Mei asked me to stay with the young master all the time. I just wanted to see the little cup made of jade on the young master's table, but I didn't want to take it. The young master also said that I could see it...Young master, I really don't have it Steal wow, master..."

The child choked up again as he spoke, his mouth was constricted, trembling, and his eyes were filled with tears, as if as long as Feihua showed that he didn't believe him, the tears would overflow again.

However, Feihua also guessed what was going on from Tie Bao's words.But, except for Xiaobao, what good will it do for that lady?

"Okay, I believe you. Don't cry!"

Tie Bao nodded, resting his head on Feihua's chest, clutching Feihua's skirt tightly with both hands, and tucked into Feihua's arms, like a frightened little white rabbit.

Feihua and Tiebao stayed in the prison, and food was brought to them every day. Although the food was poor, they were not hungry at all. Except for the rats and cockroaches that could be seen all the time in the prison, everything was no different from that in the small courtyard.

There is no dawn or dusk in the dungeon, and Feihua does not know how long it has passed. One day, a guard came, the one who led Feihua in that day.

The man said that the higher-ups wanted to see them, so he took Feihua and Tiebao out.

The glare of the sun shining into the eyes made Feihua dizzy for a moment, and the cold air around her body was replaced by hot air in an instant. There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, which made people sleepy in the hot wind.

It was noon, and the sun was surprisingly big.At noon, it was really an ominous time.Feihua stared at the sun in the sky as hard as she could, as if countless thorns had pierced her eyes.

Walking to the place where Feihua met the lady of Yue's family that day, an old woman somewhat similar to Mother Tao was sitting on a side chair, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

"Madam said that the stolen goods can't be found for the time being, so the young master will take your servant back for the time being."

After finishing these words domineeringly, the old woman walked away with proud steps, leaving only Feihua and Tie Bao standing in the middle.

10. Encountering an old friend...

"Hey! Where are you taking us? Let me down quickly! Young master, uh uh..."

"Don't make any noise! ​​Do you hear me? If you keep making noise, I'll tie you up. Understand?"

Tie Bao nodded hastily, the man let go of his hand covering his mouth, smiled at Feihua, and sat on the shaft to drive.

"Master..." Tie Bao approached Fei Hua.

Feihua patted his little hand, and gave him a calm look.

The sound of horseshoes pulling carts slammed back and forth in the alley, and Feihua sat quietly in the carriage, raising a corner of the curtain to look outside quietly.

Under the evening light, the secluded alley shows a feeling of traveling through time. In the alley that can only accommodate a small carriage, you can occasionally see pedestrians returning home, hurrying, and then stand along the alley Dodge their carriage on the threshold of someone's house.

The carriage stopped and went, and when the sunset gradually faded, it stopped in a more secluded alley.

"Here we are, come down!"

Feihua and Tiebao were pushed into the door close to the alley like being driven into a cage. The small yard was similar to the one they lived in, but the yard was full of things like onions, ginger, and leeks. A few chickens Walking slowly in the circle surrounded by the fence.

"Uncle, you are here! My mother is asking when you will arrive!"

As soon as they came in, the door of the main room opened, and a girl about Feihua's age came out to welcome them

"Hey... Lu Yuan, it took some time." The man smiled naively, "You go in first, I will drive the car outside and leave it in the garage, so your mother doesn't have to wait for me."

The little girl responded crisply, signaling Feihua and Tie Bao to follow her in.

Feihua looked at the man.

"It's okay, it's my own person. You go in first, and I'll be back in a while." After saying that, he turned and went out. After the small door closed, the sound of hoofbeats gradually faded away.

Feihua followed the little girl into the inner room, and came to the main hall, where candles were already lit, an old lady was walking anxiously, and she was still sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the middle as a woman.

"Oh, it's finally here, but I'm so anxious, I thought something happened. Bodhisattva bless..."

The old woman clasped her hands together in front of her chest, quickly pulled them into the room, and closed the door.

"You, you are sister Fu's child? You..."

The woman sitting at the table looked at Feihua and put down the tea cup in her hand with excitement.

Feihua avoided her approaching hand and still looked at her calmly, while Xiaobao grabbed Feihua's sleeve nervously and looked at her like an enemy.

"You—I'm your mother's friend, didn't the person who picked you up tell me? We are all your mother's old friends..."

Hmph, old friend?Everyone said they were old friends, but why did so many old friends pop up at this moment? !

This afternoon, Feihua was released without reason after being detained for a few days by the woman from Yue's family.

Fei Huazheng couldn't figure out what she was going to do, and was sent back to the small courtyard. With the mentality that whether it was a blessing or a disaster, she couldn't avoid it, she boiled water to wash it off, threw herself into bed and slept until evening.

After eating the food delivered by Wang Ma, the two children were about to go to bed when a man jumped into the room suddenly.

That man was the one who drove them here just now. According to him, his name was Liu Bin.

Then Liu Bin said that he was an old friend of Feihua's mother. Two days ago, he received secret news that the wife of the Yue family wanted to get rid of Feihua. He came here to rescue Feihua.

Of course Feihua didn't believe in such a coincidence, but the sense of loss that the man couldn't hide when he mentioned his mother didn't seem fake. He was hesitating whether to use this man's hand to escape from this place, The man had involuntarily held him and Tie Bao under his arms, kicked his feet and flew out of the high fence of the yard.

The man put Feihua and Feihua into an inconspicuous little carriage parked at the corner of the alley, and led them around for a long time.In the middle of the trip, Feihua really wanted to sneak away with Tie Bao, but the man's skill was not bad, and every time Feihua made any movement, he would lift the curtain to take a look.

"Come on, sit down first." The beautiful woman pulled Feihua to sit on the chair, turned around and entered the next room, and after a while, took out a scroll.

On the long scroll is a beauty of the same height as a real person, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a skirt and embroidered jacket, holding an oil-paper umbrella, looking back and smiling lightly in the rain.Silkworm brows and phoenix eyes, pointed nose, small vermilion mouth, and a smile on that pretty melon seed face, giving birth to a touch of charm and love for no reason.

From the perspective of Feihua, who is used to watching sketches, films, and videos, even though most of the ancient figure paintings are relatively abstract, he can still see that the facial features of the women in the paintings are half or six like him.

"This is your mother." The woman spread out the painting on the table, and seeing Feihua's slightly puzzled expression, she explained with a smile.

"My name is Qing Rong, and I followed your mother for a long time. This painting is Brother Liu, oh, the one who picked you up just now. He is your mother's sworn brother. This painting is about him who just met you. I painted it when my mother was a child. Your mother praised him for his good painting and kept it well. Sigh..."

Feihua listened quietly. If he knew the outside world, he would be surprised. The woman named Qing Rong in front of him is a very famous singer in Zhongzhou City and even the central states, and the oiran of Qinxianglou in Zhongzhou. , known as "Flower Fairy".

How many high-ranking officials and nobles are holding rare treasures and only begging to see the famous concubine of Qinlou, who is now living in this humble room and sighing melancholy to a child. Take the carefully selected treasures to make the beauty happy.

"Back then, your mother, Fu Ying, was the number one oiran in Qinxianglou, known as 'Baimei Oiran'. She was good at singing and dancing, and she was called 'Yingsheng Diewu' by others! At that time I was still a little girl doing odd jobs in the building, I was beaten and scolded by people in the building all day long, and I didn’t have enough to eat, and I was as thin as a bone.”

"Fortunately, I met Sister Fu later. She left me to serve by her side, and taught me to sing, dance, play the piano and draw pictures. She cared for me very much... Four or five years later, Sister Fu married into the Yue family, and we never saw each other again. noodle."
