A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 38 Chapter 38

The first one passing by was an old man who was a sugar blower, with a gray beard and a waxy face, and a dim oil lamp in front of the stall.

The rickety watchmen beat the bamboo clappers and gongs, shouting the time of Xu.

There was no one on the street for a long time, and there were several strings on the straw rack of the old man. It must be hard to sell, and the three people passing by shouted.

"Little brother, can you string sugar figurines for the girl?"

Yuan Wuyou raised her eyebrows, didn't she see her sister in front?
Xiaoshi poked the ground a few times with the crutch, and fumbled with the other hand out of thin air, "Abaaaba" with dull eyes...

The old man showed distress immediately, "Oh, this little brother... these eyes! This voice... this old man deserves to die."

Then the old man felt more and more uncomfortable as he thought about it, he raised his hand and picked off a bunch of orange candy figurines from the straw stick, and handed them to Yuan Wuyou,

"Girl, give it to the child, it's an old man's apology."

Regarding the three actions, the old man who sells candy will feel guilty all his life and give away a bunch of candies.

Yuan Wuyou wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain.

She hurriedly waved her hands and smiled apologetically, "This is so bad, sir, the situation in my family is... a bit complicated..."

Then he looked back at the two people behind him.

"Stone...you have ulcers in your mouth, can you eat wheat or candy?"

Mai Mai raised her eyes, "If my sister wants to eat it, I will eat it."

This younger sister is so well-behaved, as if her elder sister is everything in her world, and she was indeed like this in the past.

Yuan Wuyou was so moved, "Buy! Sister eats with wheat."

small stone:"……"

After receiving the young man's cool gaze, Yuan Wuyou still bought three bunches of candy and stuffed them into his hands before biting each other with Mai Mai.

Although Mai has been poor for three years, she has not forgotten her manners as a lady of the family. At this moment, she lightly lifts her small sleeves to block the movement of her lips and teeth. On the side where the stone can't see but Yuan Wuyou can see clearly, Mai Mai's lips are thin and tender, and she just stretched out tentatively. Pink tongue, sister Yi over there has already bit off the pig's head in one bite, and started chewing.

He is very heroic, but not vulgar. He chews and keeps his lips tightly shut. He even smiles at his sister, wanton and perverse but not rude.

It caused Mai Mai to purse her lips and smile, her two peach blossom eyes were crooked.

Because Mai Mai was covering up, all I could see was the big girl winking.

Seeing this eating scene, Xiao Shitou looked at Yuan Wuyou dumbfounded, felt a headache for no reason, and silently handed her the skewer in his hand.

But she was suddenly bitten by the sugar, and quickly pushed her hand to refuse.

Yuan Wuyou ate half of the candy, and found a wonton stand in front of him, very close to the gate of the city where there was no curfew, so he took his siblings to a small table to eat wontons, and specially reminded Xiao Shitou not to put chopped green onions in the bowl , affecting the healing of his aphthous sores.

The female stall owner who sells wontons is about thirty or forty years old, her appearance and voice are the gentleness of women from Jiangnan water villages, and her voice is soft and murmured with a Jiankang accent.

Yuan Wuyou couldn't help being curious, how dare a frail woman like her stay up late at night alone?It seems that the law and order under the jurisdiction of the female city lord of Yousui City is good.

It turned out that the female stall owner was the wife of a soldier guarding the city. Today, her husband was on duty at night and would help out at the wonton stall when he was usually off.

Although the couple is not rich, they can make ends meet.When the woman was talking to three people, she was surrounded by a young son.The four or five year old boy had big eyes and a small face, looking at the three of them, Yuan Wuyou was just hesitating whether to buy one for the child, when a slender arm stretched out from his side.

Little Shitou held the candy with his hands down and didn't speak, scaring the doll too much to move.

Yuan Wuyou also smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, we are not evil spirits, our ugly faces are due to illness, he has a wound in his mouth and can't eat candy."

The child stared at the group of three people, both of them had ferocious faces, although he was afraid in his heart, seeing the attractiveness of the sugar man, he boldly took it, turned his head and ran to his mother's side.

The woman frowned and scolded, "Thank you brother?"

Holding the hem of the apron, the child showed his head, and said timidly, "Thank you, brother."

Yuan Wuyou patted the boy's shoulders which were much taller than hers, "You are so good, it just so happens that you two are the same age. I mean, mentally, you two have fun and don't fight, I'm the worst at coaxing children .”

small stone:"……"

Xu Shi's sky was very dark, and the young man's eyes were pitch-black, almost all of his blood had faded, and even reflected a bit of the dark blue of the night.

He stared blankly at the little girl who called himself "elder sister", with a half jade face and big eyes embedded in the bumpy half of her face, which was bright and shining.

The woman first brought the bowl of wontons with little seasoning and no chopped green onion, and the steaming wonton bowl cut off her eyes.

The girl smiled enthusiastically at the woman, and took out a wooden spoon from the bamboo tube and handed it to him, "Hurry up and eat, let's see how much she takes care of you."

Then she thought of Sister Mai, and realized that she had already finished taking the spoon and was quietly putting it in front of her.

Yuan Wuyou felt hot in his heart, "Oh, I am so lucky to have such a younger sister."

After the female stall owner put the third bowl of wontons on the table, the four-year-old child, who was only four years old, hugged his mother's apron leg, held up his hand and licked a few mouthfuls of candy, with a smile on his face Come.

"Mom, this candy is so sweet, when dad comes back from his shift tomorrow, let's buy this candy for brother too, okay?"

There are many people in the world who reciprocate courtesy and reciprocate kindness.The night is cool, and the fireworks in the world are the most simmering in the hearts of ordinary people.

At about four o'clock in the morning, suddenly a man rushed out to hug the old watchman, and the angry watchman cursed and went away.

Mai Mai suddenly showed panic, Yuan Wuyou grabbed Mai Mai's hand and asked the woman who is this?
I heard that there was an old lunatic in the city who lived with the beater, and often arrested people and asked, "Do you know Xiao Chen?" Then it was rumored that Xiao Chen was a male vixen, who was not jealous of men, women and children, and who only ate people's minds.

Yuan Wuyou laughed dryly, "The rumors around Nansi Prefecture are quite bizarre. I'll be able to write stories or afterwords after listening to them for a few more days."

Suddenly being poked on the shoulder, she followed the direction of the small stone and looked back...

Mai Xu on the side was crying into the soup bowl.

She had no choice but to comfort her, "I miss your eldest sister when I leave home, right? Let's go out and hide for two days, and when the news passes, I'll take you back to accompany Sister Zhuang."

Mai Mai pursed her lips and cried, "This garlic is too spicy."

"..." Yuan Wuyou turned his head and asked Xiao Shitou,

"Look, has the old sugar seller left?"

Hearing this, the young man holding the spoon in his hand suddenly opened his slender eye slits, revealing two sharp cold streaks, which almost stretched open the pustules that hadn't subsided.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Yuan Wuyou seems to see resentment and displeasure from these two gaps?
Finding that the little stone couldn't hold the spoon, he slapped the table in anger,
"The big one is not good enough to teach the little one bad! Are you going to eat it instead? How about waiting for grandma to chew it up and feed it to you?"

The boy blinked his increasingly clear and dark eyes, and could only take a small bite in a muffled voice.

Yuan Wu sighed and scratched his head worryingly, while the sister beside him still laughed,

"It's hard for you, my sister is young this year? Are you twenty-eight? Just take your younger siblings, and drag your family out to hide?"

"...Eighteen. Isn't this family misfortune? There is a stupid younger brother who is blind and dumb. This younger sister is a good-looking one. It's a pity that her biological sister is not me."

She was at a loss as to how to explain, but the little stone at the side poked the rim of her bowl with his finger, and together with the crisp sound of his fingernails hitting the bowl, it was his hoarse voice, uttering "eat."

"..." Yuan Wuyou stared, is it your turn to scold me?
