Chapter 300 Murong Xue's Story Continuation - The Downtrodden Man

Chu State, a small town not far from the capital.Although it was not as lively as the capital city, almost every household hung up red lanterns, showing the meaning of celebration.


An extremely handsome man with shabby clothes slowly walked into the town from outside the town, and then stood in front of a small snack bar for a while, with a hesitant expression on his face, after a long time , He reached into his bosom to touch the little silver, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to turn around and leave.


The owner of the small shop who had been standing outside the door for a long time was a very kind-looking old man. He had already paid attention to the man when he walked over, and he also saw the man's actions later. The old man naturally understood what the man was worried about, but the old man was in a particularly good mood today, so he called out kindly, "Young master, please stay!"


Hearing the old man's cry, the man hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Old man, are you calling?"


The old man walked forward with a smile and said, "Young master, I am in a good mood today, and I will entertain guests for free. I wonder if you want to try my handicraft?"


The man knew that the old man had good intentions, and also knew that the old man had seen through his plight. However, he was still a little embarrassed to be seen through. He was a little hesitant, but he was unwilling to leave. How to answer the old man's words.


Naturally, the old man knew that the man was seen through by him, so he was a little embarrassed, so he didn't care about it at the moment, he just smiled and said, "My lord, please sit inside, and my brother will serve you a bowl of noodles. To tell you the truth, my brother, although my shop Small, but the noodles I ordered are quite famous in this town, I guarantee you that you eat it once, and you want to eat it a second time!" After finishing speaking, he ran into the shop and got busy on his own.


The man had no choice but to walk into the small shop, find a seat by the window and sit down.


At this time, it was already afternoon, and there were no other customers in the shop.


Soon, the old man came over with a bowl of steaming hot noodles, put it gently on the man's table, then sat down opposite the man with a smile, and said with a little pride, "Master, although my shop is It’s a bit small, but my brother’s beef noodles are top-notch! If you don’t believe me, you can try it.”


The man was tired all the way, and he was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back. He didn't want to come in just now, not because he wasn't hungry, but because he didn't have much money with him. At this time, he saw a bowl of steaming, fragrant beef noodles , I felt very hungry, so I picked up the beef noodles and ate it in big mouthfuls.


Soon, he ate up a bowl of noodles, and the man reluctantly put the empty bowl back on the table, obviously not full yet.However, I am too embarrassed to ask the old man again.


The old man looked at the empty bowl that the man put back on the table, seemed very happy, and said, "Master, are you still full? Wait a minute, brother, I'll get you another bowl!" After finishing speaking, without waiting for the man to speak, So he picked up the empty bowl on the table and went down.


Soon, the old man came over with another bowl of noodles, put down the noodles, and sat opposite the man with a smile on his face.


This time, the man did not eat in a hurry, but ate slowly, and began to chat with the old man, "Old man, is there any festive event today? Why are all the houses in the town hanging up lanterns?" ?”


The old man said happily, "Young master, I don't know. Today, it's the grand wedding of Mr. Qian from our Great Chu Kingdom. The capital is very lively, and every family in the capital is setting off firecrackers! In a remote town like ours, although it is not as big as the capital." It's lively, but everyone will hang up red lanterns to be happy."


The man froze for a moment, and then said, "Princess Qian's wedding? That's really a happy event. I don't know where Fu Ma Ye is from?"


The old man continued, "This Master Fu is not an ordinary family! He is the eldest son of the Fu family in the capital, Fu Aoye. I heard that he is also the savior of Queen Haiguo! This time, he and Princess Qian’s wedding, even the emperor and queen of Haiguo came to celebrate, what a face! Even last year, the emperor held a full moon banquet for the prince, and Haiguo only sent envoys, but this time Princess Qian’s wedding , the emperor and queen of the sea country actually came in person!"


Fu Aoye?Hearing this name, the man was slightly taken aback, but he was quickly attracted by the old man's words, Empress Haiguo?If he guessed correctly, then it must be her!

The charming face of the city came to the man's mind again, and he recalled that on the battlefield, that beautiful but indifferent woman bandaged his wound with her own hands, and then let him go.


Thinking of this, the man couldn't help putting his hands in his arms and gently stroking, because in his arms was hiding the hem of the skirt she tore off to bandage his wound. Although his wound had long since healed without leaving any traces, he didn't. Throw away those wound cloths, because that is the only token that proves that he and her once had an intersection.


Seeing the man in a daze, the old man couldn't help asking, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"


The man came back to his senses, smiled apologetically at the old man, shook his head slightly, and said, "Old man, I'm fine!" After finishing speaking, he paused, and then said, "Old man, I want to ask you something. How far is the capital?"


The old man thought for a while, and then said, "It's not far. If you take a carriage, it's only half a day's journey. If you walk, you should be able to arrive before dark!"


The man took out some pieces of silver from his pocket, gently put them on the table, then stood up and said, "Old man, thank you for your kindness, these silver coins are my face money for you!" After the man finished speaking, he Without looking back, he walked out of the small shop.


The old man hurriedly picked up the money from the table, then chased it out, and said loudly, "Young master, I invited you, brother, and I will not accept your money!"


However, the man didn't seem to hear it, and walked very quickly, and his figure quickly disappeared on the road.
