There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 170
[Chapter 170 Who is Daohua?]
“Big sister, where did you and the young prince go tonight?” Yan Wenxiu asked worriedly on the way back to Li’s mansion.
Daohua: “. Didn’t go anywhere, just looked at the lanterns on the street casually.”
Yan Wenxiu took a deep look at Daohua: “Although the little prince is familiar with our family, he is a foreigner after all, and there will be no Wenkai and I in the future.” They are with you, so you should not go out alone with him.”
Daohua knew that she was a little reckless in what happened tonight, so she nodded obediently: “Brother, I made a mistake and I made you worry. Don’t worry, I won’t worry about it in the future. Where to go, I will tell you in advance.”
Seeing this, Yan Wenxiu didn’t say much.
After returning home, the uncle and aunt heard that Daohua and Xiao Yeyang had separated from others during the lantern viewing period, so they also called her aside and talked about it.
Daohua knew that she had done something wrong, and she acted humbly listening to the teaching the whole time, and she couldn’t be more obedient.
Fan smiled and said: “Okay, this girl has a sense of propriety, she probably didn’t expect to be separated from everyone tonight, so let’s stop talking about her.”
Daohua nodded repeatedly.
At that time, when she saw Xiao Yeyang leaving in a hurry with Defu, her first reaction was to catch up. When she caught up with someone, she was already a little far away from her elder brother. She wanted to turn back and say something, but she was afraid that Xiao Yeyang would not wait for her , So, I can only bury my head and follow.
Li Xingchang: “Although this is the case, we must remember the lesson this time. Although the security of this provincial capital is good, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no shooting of Hanako.”
Daohua: “Uncle, aunt, Daohua knows, and will definitely not do it again next time ”
Li Xingnian smiled: “Okay, after going out for a day, everyone is tired, let’s go back and rest.”
Hearing this, Daohua Lima pulled the two cousins out of the house.
Seeing Daohua running away, the adults in the room all laughed.
“This girl usually acts like a little adult, but this time she made a mistake, and she immediately showed her face.”
“Children, how can you not be afraid of being scolded?
” I didn’t go there, and spent a good day with the Li family.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the three of them set off for Xingzhou, and it was Li Xingnian who sent them off.
The gate of Li Mansion.
After the three brothers and sisters said goodbye to everyone in the Li family, they boarded the carriage for the return journey.
Seeing the carriage gradually go away, the sisters Li Zixuan and Li Zixin expressed reluctance.
Fan shi smiled: “Are you so reluctant to part with that girl Daohua?”
Li Zixin immediately stepped forward to take Fan shi’s arm: “Mother, my cousin is so interesting, being with her is not boring at all, and she understands There are so many things.”
As she spoke, she began to wring her fingers, “I know how to grow flowers, make wine, and make rouge and gouache, and the few boxes of body lotion she brought us are even better than those sold in the Guixiu Pavilion.”
“It still counts!”
Li Zixuan interjected.
Li Zixin nodded immediately: “That’s right, my cousin’s abacus is better than my elder brother’s. By the way, she can do mental calculations, and she is faster than my elder brother.”
Jiang smiled and said: “Daohua’s brain is really clever. It would be great if it was a boy.”
Fan immediately said: “What’s wrong with a girl, I think it’s good for Daohua to be a girl, there is such a delicate and smart girl, a little girl should wake up with a smile in her dreams Yes .
A group of people walked into the mansion while talking.
“Hey, time flies too fast. In a blink of an eye, the academy will start. In the
carriage, Yan Wenkai raised the curtain and looked at the excitement on the street with a full face.
Li Xingnian smiled and said: “After playing for so many days, it’s time to calm down and go back to study.” Waiting for next year, next year’s New Year, uncle will take you to the provincial capital to celebrate the Lantern Festival. ”
Yan Wenkai immediately clapped his hands and applauded: “Yes, yes, little uncle, you can’t break your promise!”
Li Xingnian glared at his nephew angrily, and scolded with a smile: “When did uncle break his promise?” As he spoke, he glanced at him and felt a little drowsy Daohua lowered her voice.
“Keep your voice down, your aunt said, last night the three girls talked about themselves until midnight, let your sister sleep for a while.”
Hearing this, Yan Wenkai stopped talking and focused on looking outside the car.
Daohua was indeed a little sleepy. Last night, the two cousins said that they were reluctant to let her go and insisted on sleeping with her. She couldn’t refuse, so they agreed.
As a result, she, who was used to sleeping alone, suffered from insomnia and was in a daze until it was almost dawn, when she squinted for a while.
The carriage swayed, and Daohua was shaken so drowsily that she simply leaned on Wang Man’er and fell asleep like that.
“Bang!” In the
middle of the journey, Daohua’s neck was a little stiff from sleep, and she forgot that she was in the carriage, and turned over as if she was lying on a bed, so she was sad and fell directly from the seat.
“Girl!”
Wang Man’er was startled, and quickly helped her up.
Daohua grinned and sat up, her drowsiness was completely gone. She looked around the car and found that there were only her and Wang Maner: “Hey, where are uncle, eldest brother, and fourth brother?”
Wang Maner: “Master wants to buy some pens and ink, two Uncle is picking them up in the store with them.”
Daohua lifted the corner of the curtain and found that their carriage was parked outside a bookstore.
Putting down the car curtain, Daohua moved her body a bit, then leaned on Wang Maner’s shoulder again, ready to squint for a while.
However, the fall just now gave her a psychological shadow. She closed her eyes and couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
“Why haven’t you come back yet?”
After waiting for a while, seeing that no one came back, Daohua opened the curtain of the car again, stretched her head to look outside, and found that people on the street were running ahead.
The boy who drove the horse replied: “Someone was beaten in front, Fourth Master and the others seem to have gone to watch the fun.”
Daohua frowned: “Someone beat someone again?
” Come?
The law and order in this province is really bad!
At this time, Li Xingnian’s servant ran over: “Girl, master and the others are waiting for you ahead, let me drive the carriage to meet up.”
Daohua nodded, put down the curtain, and the carriage started slowly.
After a while, the carriage stopped, the door was opened, and brothers Li Xingnian and Yan Wenxiu got in.
“It’s not safe to do anything these days. Those who run darts and deliver goods are often robbed.” Li Xingnian shook his head and sighed.
Yan Wenkai continued: “That man is quite pitiful. If a big man hadn’t been forced to a corner, he would never have cried so miserably in front of so many people .
”
After entering the car, Daohua showed surprise: “So sad, how bad was the beating?” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but lift the curtain of the car and look out.
At this moment, the person who hit someone had already walked away, leaving only the person who was beaten and a few spectators.
“Okay, don’t look at it, let’s go!”
Li Xingnian patted the car door, indicating that the carriage can start.
“Wait!” When the
carriage passed by the beaten person, Daohua lifted the curtain of the carriage and leaned half her body out: “Brother Xiaoliu?!”
Qin Xiaoliu was in extreme despair at the moment.
Because of the loss of the goods, the escort team could not repay the huge loss. Qin Wu and the others were all arrested and put in prison. They said that if they could not pay the ransom, they would be exiled.
But the redemption cost thousands of taels of silver, even if he was sold, it would not be enough.
These days, he was wandering around like a headless chicken in Fucheng. Today, he managed to block the creditors on the street. He wanted to beg him to let Qin Wu and the others go first, and allow them some time to collect money.
Unexpectedly, before he could say a few words, the other party asked his subordinates to beat him up severely, and before leaving, he threatened that if he couldn’t get all the money after three days, Fifth Brother and the others would be exiled.
Such a short period of three days
made him almost collapse. At this moment, he seemed to hear someone calling himself.
Qin Xiaoliu looked up blankly.
Then, he saw a carriage stop in front of him, and a little girl in a brocade dress jumped off the carriage and walked towards him quickly.
“Brother Liu!”
Qin Xiaoliu stared blankly at the little girl who looked like a fairy in front of him, and forgot to respond for a while.
Daohua stretched out her hand and shook Qin Xiaoliu’s eyes: “Brother Xiaoliu, do you still remember me? I am Daohua!”
“Daohua?” Qin Xiaoliu asked in a daze, “Who is Daohua?”
Daohua: “.”
