After crossing, she became the favorite of the general's mansion

Chapter 35
After sweeping along the snack street, Liu Yingzi was attracted by a street performer.

It was a man and a woman, both dressed in shabby clothes, the woman was playing the piano and the man was blowing the flute, and occasionally people around stopped to listen. Liu Yingzi didn't understand music, so I don't know if their skills were superb, but they just thought it sounded good.

When they got closer, they found a piece of paper with writing on it in front of them. It turned out that the two were brothers and sisters. Can raise money to live in this way of performing arts.

Regardless of whether the story is true or not, at any rate, people didn't ask for money by begging, and it was based on their strength, so Liu Yingzi left a penny.

"Let's go, go shopping elsewhere." She wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, she found that Wen Qilu was staring at the couple.

"Little Fatty! Do you like piano or Xiao?" Liu Yingzi nudged him. It was obvious that he liked other people's musical instruments.

"Qin and Xiao are both very good, but I like Qin better." Wen Qilu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Brother, how are you?" Liu Yingzi asked Liu Chenfeng.

"I don't like any of them, I only like weapons." Liu Chenfeng replied like this.

"Let's go, go buy it." Now those sporting goods are selling well in the school, and Liu Yingzi is not short of money now.

"Okay!" Liu Chenfeng happily planned to pick the one he likes, the one his mother picked for him is too weak, so it's time to change it.

"Yingzi, there's no need." Wen Qilu refused.

"What's the matter? Don't you like it very much?" Liu Yingzi must have wanted it very much when he saw his appearance just now.

"It's too expensive." I owe Yingzi too much.

"It's okay, just buy it if you like it. My father used to be a general. Now that he's demoted, he's also a general. There's no shortage of money." Liu Yingzi has never thought about money, and now he has a steady stream of income. No, then there is still the father to support it.

But from Wen Qilu's point of view, it makes sense that he doesn't want to spend too much on himself.

"If you feel sorry, then you can pay me back when you grow up and make money. Let's go." Liu Yingzi pulled him to find a musical instrument store.

However, Wen Qilu didn't agree no matter what, and Liu Yingzi couldn't force it, so the three of them went to the weapon shop together to see what Liu Chenfeng wanted to buy.

"Ha, Liu Yingzi, what a coincidence." They had just entered the store with their front feet, and Changting followed him in, pretending to pick up their weapons and look at them.

"Are you here to choose weapons too?" Liu Yingzi saw it through but didn't say anything.

"Well, let's go together." This Wen Qilu is obviously not a good person, he has to watch from the side.

"I'll go home when my brother finishes picking out the weapon." This Liu Yingzi was not lying, it really wasn't long before they came out to play, it took a long time to eat along the street just now, and now it's almost time to go back.

"Well, then we can also walk together, drop by." Chang Ting would not be relieved until he saw Liu Yingzi enter the mansion with his own eyes.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is not on our way." Liu Chenfeng raised his head and glanced at Changting, his intention was too obvious.

"I think it's smooth." As long as he wants to go, he can go anywhere.

"Well, let's go together." Liu Yingzi didn't object, they just walked for a while, and there was no need for him to avoid Changting because of the cancellation of the engagement.

After paying the money, after they went out, they saw Wen Boyong who was guarding the door with an unnatural expression.

Liu Yingzi hurried away with his head down, he was the one he was most afraid of now.

Unexpectedly, he did not follow, and Liu Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief.

But she was too happy, Changting is his good friend, so naturally she wants to help him.

So on the way, Changting intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to Liu Yingzi's friends.

"If you want to ask other questions, I can tell you, but if you want to ask Xia Yuhe, I can't tell you." Liu Yingzi didn't beat around the bush.

"Why? Boyong is not a bad person, he has a good family background and appearance, and he is sincere."

"If you don't say it, you don't say it! Don't always ask!" Liu Chenfeng stood between them and separated Liu Yingzi from Changting. If others knew that he was wearing women's clothing, he would be ridiculed, and if Wen Boyong knew that he If you fall in love with a man, you may be so angry that you vomit blood.

"Instead of coming to me to inquire about the news, you might as well persuade Wen Boyong to give up as soon as possible. Don't blame me for being unreasonable. Xia Yuhe is not as good as he thinks. They are impossible." people.

"What are you talking about?" Wen Qi was in a fog, why was he the only one out of state?
"Why is it impossible for them? Where there is a will, there is a way. Maybe Miss Xia will be moved by him. At least give them a chance to get in touch." Chang Ting is still trying his best to help his friend persuade Liu Yingzi.

"She's already engaged to someone, and she likes him very much. She doesn't want to be disturbed by other suitors, so I'm sorry, but I don't want to continue this topic." Speaking of this, Wen Boyong should also give up.

"Okay, I'll tell him." It turned out that Miss Xia, whom Bo Yong was thinking of, was already famous, and it was not easy for Changting to inquire about the news.

When they arrived at the gate of Liu Yingzi's house, several of them went back to their respective houses, and each went to find his own mother.

Soon after, it was Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's Christmas Day.

Liu Yingzi's family naturally went to the temple to burn incense and pay homage to the Buddha as usual, and donated money for sesame oil.

Because of the festival, many people come here to offer incense.

Liu Yingzi and Liu Chenfeng knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva statue, but they were absent-minded and secretly looked around.

Master Bianji was talking to an elderly lady when a young novice hurried over with tears in his eyes and whispered a few words beside him.

Liu Yingzi knew this little novice, he was Mengshen's younger brother.

Now that she is here, Liu Yingzi also wants to know about Qixiu's current situation. In the past, Qixiu often came to the temple, and the monks here know her, so she should be able to ask.

When the little novice went out, Liu Yingzi also pulled Liu Chenfeng to follow quickly.

"Little monk, I want to ask you something." Liu Yingzi stopped him.

"Excuse me, benefactor." Although the little novice is sad now, he can't be negligent when someone comes to ask questions, and he should be polite.

"Remember Qixiu? Do you know her current situation?" Liu Yingzi hoped that she could escape as she wished.

"Sister Qixiu is really good." The little novice paused and shed a few more tears, "But she is no longer here."

"What does it mean to be gone?" Liu Yingzi's eyes widened. It shouldn't be the one she thought was not here, right?

"The person she married was very domineering. They beat and scolded her and trampled on her at will. Not long after she got married, sister Qixiu...was abused to death." When the little novice said this, he couldn't hold back anymore, and tears flowed with her. It fell like broken beads.

Liu Yingzi's head exploded with a buzzing sound. Could it be that Qixiu failed to escape marriage and was arrested?Humiliated to death, how could her parents be willing to let her marry such a person?
How desperate Qixiu was when she was alive. Marrying someone she didn't like, that person didn't cherish her, made her suffer both mentally and physically.

"Brother Mengmengshen, after he heard the news, he vomited a mouthful of blood and was bedridden for more than half a month, and now he is in critical condition." The little novice burst into tears, unable to hold back his emotions anymore.

Liu Yingzi lost her soul and followed the little novice to see Mengshen.

As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Meng Shen's handsome face is extremely pale now, and he is quietly lying on the bed with his eyes closed, the sun shines on his face through the leaves by the window, leaving mottled shadows.

Perhaps because of the festival, other monks went out to receive pilgrims, so now there are only two crying young monks guarding the bed.

Mengshen's face was serene, and he didn't seem to be disturbed by the noisy voices. Under the illumination of layers of light and shadow, he was like a god, as if he would leave and return to his world if he was not careful.

"Brother, you must hold on." The little novice next to him knelt by the bed with a choked voice, holding his hand tightly.

Meng Shen slowly opened his eyes, looking at the window with empty eyes, as if looking at something through the window, his tone did not fluctuate, "I don't have much time."

Other dying people have nostalgia for the world in their eyes, but he doesn't.All he had was calm, or rather, dead silence.

Apart from the little novice sobbing, there was no other sound in the room.

Liu Yingzi stared straight at Mengshen, he must also have a deep love for Qixiu, otherwise how could he get sick after knowing the news of her death.

It's a pity that there will never be such a girl who runs to the temple when she is free, laughing and shouting, "Little monk, I'm here to listen to your storytelling."

Suddenly, Mengshen broke into a smile and said softly, "Okay." Then he closed his eyes contentedly.

"Senior brother? Senior brother?" The little novice beside him shook his arm. Seeing that he didn't respond, he stretched out his hand to check his breath, then sat down on the ground, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it, "Senior brother .went"

Liu Yingzi walked out of the room silently, letting her tears fall. Maybe others don't know what that good word means, but she knows it. Meng Shen used the last moment of her life to answer that question.If there is an afterlife, if you are not a monk, you can marry me.

However, Qixiu could no longer hear her.

"Sister, don't cry." Liu Chenfeng wiped Liu Yingzi's tears away, and hugged her in his arms with red eyes.

"There is peace in the world, and you will live up to the Tathagata and not to your Qing." Liu Yingzi felt very uncomfortable, as if her heart was being pinched hard.

Although she is not the protagonist of the whole incident, she has witnessed the happy time of Mengshen and Qixiu, and also saw that they obviously like each other but cannot be together.

If there is an afterlife, I hope they are just ordinary people, born in a happy little family, can find each other and stay with each other for a lifetime.

This incident made Liu Yingzi depressed for a long time, and when Wen Qilu's birthday was approaching, she started to get busy, so she stopped thinking about Qixiu and Mengshen.

On March 25th, the school was supposed to be closed for a month, but Liu Yingzi still asked Wen Qilu out and gave him a rosewood piano.

"Yingzi, here." Wen Qilu was pleasantly surprised when he saw the violin, obviously he liked it very much.

"A gift for you, happy birthday, as long as you like it, there's no need to say anything else." Liu Yingzi knew that Wen Qilu didn't want to use her money, so she blocked Wen Qilu's words directly.

And Liu Chenfeng gave him a jade pendant, which was also made of high-quality materials, warm and moist, crystal clear.

"Thank you." Wen Qilu's eyes were red, even his mother didn't remember his birthday, but Liu Yingzi and Liu Chenfeng still remembered.

"Who made you my son and friend!" Liu Yingzi regarded him as his son, but it was hard to say such words.

In mid-April, the imperial palace suddenly issued an order to let Liu Ruzheng reinstate his post and rush to the frontier as soon as possible.

It turned out to be people from the Xihu tribe. They are nomadic people on the border. They have always had trade relations with the Yinyue Dynasty. However, with the increase in strength, the Xihu tribe has been unstable in the past two years. They began to annex several cities in the frontier. Harassment from time to time, now the war is really breaking out.

Although the population of the Xihu tribe is small, the young people there are tall, strong and strong, and they are good at fighting on horseback. People who have made countless military exploits are naturally elected.

Xi Yaru has always been inseparable from Liu Ruzheng, and this time is naturally the same.

"Yingzi, Chenfeng, do you like Kyoto?" Liu Ruzheng asked the two children.

"Kyoto is okay, but I don't like the imperial palace." In front of her father, Liu Yingzi said it bluntly, without concealing it, "The imperial palace is a place where filth and evil people hide. Yongning did evil by virtue of being a princess, and the emperor even Yes, spoiling you too much, saying that your position was demoted because of your father's ineffectiveness, but in fact, he hated your mother for protecting me, so he gave Yongning a whip. If you are going to the frontier, I don't want to stay here either."

"Okay, Daddy understands what you mean." Liu Ruzheng didn't expect his daughter to be so perceptive and to think the same as him. In fact, he was demoted because of such an incident, and his heart was indeed chilled, but Zhongjun is his duty.

What Yingzi said just now was rebellious, "Don't say such things in the future. Chen Feng, how about you?"

"I don't like it either, father and mother, we will go wherever you go." Liu Chenfeng also wanted to go to the border to experience it, the scene of the desert and the solitary smoke is more attractive than the bustling crowd.

"I'll take you to find your grandfather." Liu Ruzheng had actually planned it long ago. He didn't want the children to be alone in the capital. He would apply for a job with the emperor and bring his family. However, war is dangerous, so he sent them away first. Entrusted to the care of Xiaoru's mother's family, even if he wins at that time, he doesn't want to come back, so he guards the border and does not return to this place of intrigue.

"Okay!" Liu Yingzi hadn't seen her grandfather yet, and she also wanted to see the scenery of the border.

Liu Chenfeng was even happier, he had been fascinated by the frontier for a long time.

Because of the critical situation, on the third day, Liu Ruzheng was ready to go, leading more than 5 people to the front line of the war.

On that day, the emperor brought many ministers to see him off.

A small figure rushed to Liu Yingzi's carriage, calling her name softly.

"Changting, why are you here?"

"The battlefield is so dangerous, you should stay." Changting didn't want her to leave at all. The war could be as fast as a few months, or as slow as a few years.

"My parents have left, and I have no other relatives to rely on in the imperial city, and I am not going to the battlefield, but to my grandfather's side." She was very touched that Changting could come over to see her off.

"You can live in my house, and my father will treat you well."

"I'm not your daughter-in-law. It's not good to spread the word."

"You are my family's future daughter-in-law!" In Changting's heart, Liu Yingzi had already been classified as his own daughter-in-law.

Because Changting often secretly pays attention to Liu Yingzi's every move, his friends also acquiesce in his relationship with Liu Yingzi, and even call him "wife-peeping maniac".

"Hit you, talk nonsense, okay, go back quickly, I won't come back forever." But just go to grandpa's house for a while, what are you doing like saying goodbye to life and death?
Looking at Changting three steps and one turn back reluctantly, Liu Yingzi was a little helpless.

When Wen Qilu arrived, the team had already left.

He ran a long way outside the city, but he still failed to catch up.

The person who treated him best has left the capital.
Walking back in a daze, he stopped in front of the gate of Liu Mansion without moving for a long time.

"Young Master Wen." An elderly woman greeted him when she saw him when she went out.

"Yeah." He knew this person. He was bitten by a dog before, and it was this old woman who took care of him.

"Miss told this old slave that if she sees you, she will take you to a place. She said that you will know when you go." The woman led the way and stopped at the door of a well-decorated shop.

Wen Qilu walked in, and the boss received him.

"You are Ms. Liu's friend, right? She asked me to give you this letter." The store owner had an impression of the old woman at the door, so this child should be Wen Qilu.

Hearing that it was the letter left by Liu Yingzi, Wen Qilu immediately took it and carefully opened it.

"Little fat man, I'm going to live at my grandfather's house for a while, so I won't be able to protect you by my side. You have to work hard yourself. If someone bullies you, you must resist! The shop owner has a cooperative relationship with me, and I get [-]% of the monthly profit. Now I'm leaving Now, you can help me get the money, buy things you like, hire a master if you want to learn, it should be enough, don’t be reluctant to use it, if you really want to thank me, let yourself live happily, This is the greatest reward for me, I must be better and better! Cherish it."

Liu Yingzi didn't use fancy words, nor deliberately sensationalized, but Wen Qilu felt bitter in his heart, holding the letter in his hand and gently leaning on his left chest. I will do what you say.

The lower part is called "The Concubine's Daughter Is Like a Pearl". If you want to read it, you can search it. It's something to do when you grow up.
