Second-hand wife: Wang Ye's cute pet

Chapter 79

"Xiao Er, bring me a bottle of good wine. Two catties of beef." The big man roared loudly.

"Okay..."

The big man sat down in front of an empty table, tugged at the chain in his hand, and then looked back at the little girl who was almost shrunk into a ball, "Bah, you lose money. I took you to so many places. No one will buy you, and I will waste my rice."

The more the big man talked, the more angry he seemed to be, he raised his foot and wanted to kick the little girl.

An Liuyan seemed a little angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Xuan Muchen saw the pity in An Liuyan's eyes, and gradually increased his grip on the bamboo chopsticks, and the veins in his hands were slightly visible.

"Stop!" He yelled, stood up, and walked to the big man, "I bought this girl."

"Buy... bought it?" The big man looked at Xuan Muchen in astonishment.

He was dressed in a delicately embroidered dark blue silk dress, with a circle of white fox fur inlaid on the collar.At first glance, he was from a wealthy family.

The big man squinted at Xuan Muchen for a long time, "You want to buy this girl? OK, 20 taels of silver. I won't sell anything less."

"20 taels?" He raised his eyebrows slantingly, looked at the big man with a half-smile, and glanced coldly.

The big man was a little startled by Xuan Muchen's eyes, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, held his head up, "Yes, 20 taels! I won't sell anything less."

Xuan Muchen took out a heavy brocade bag from his sleeve and threw it on the table.

The big man opened the brocade bag, counted the number, and hurriedly untied the chain that locked the girl.

An Liuyan stood up, walked to Xuan Muchen's side, took off the fox fur from her shoulders, and covered the wounded girl.

"Let's go and have something to eat first." An Liuyan helped her up, looking at her dark and thin face, she couldn't bear it.

"Thank you." The little girl rolled her black eyes timidly.

An Liuyan helped her to the side and sat down, and ordered Xiaoer to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for her.

Xuan Muchen sat back, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down.

An Liuyan looked at him without saying anything, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"What do you want to say?" He sipped his wine and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's nothing." With a smile on her face, she picked up some vegetables and put them in the little girl's bowl, "I just didn't expect you to save her."

The little girl opened her black eyes, picked up the food in the bowl with her chopsticks, and looked at them suspiciously.

"You want to save her." He looked up and glanced at her smiling face, "Don't you?" He was silent for a while, and then continued unhurriedly: "What's more, you also lack a servant girl now. Go back In the future, if you don't want to take her in, just send her to Shen Wan."

An Liuyan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and bowed her head in silence.

So it was for her, she thought to herself.Unexpectedly, he had such thoughts.

"Does this little girl have a name?" He paused, his eyes glanced coldly at the drunk man on the wall table. "If not, you can get one for her."

"Name..." An Liuyan put down her chopsticks, and meditated quietly for a while, then suddenly, she frowned and showed her bright teeth, "How about calling her Que'er?"

"It's your maid, you can decide." He pursed his lips, got up and walked upstairs to the wing room. "Hurry up and finish eating, take it to freshen up, it's dirty."

"Don't just eat, eat vegetables." An Liuyan pushed the vegetables in front of her with a warm smile. "Do you have a name?"

"Little... Miss, the servant girl has already been bought by the lady. Whatever the lady wants to call the servant girl, she can call the servant girl whatever." She picked up the rice and looked at An Liuyan with clear eyes.

Since she was a child, she was sold by her aunt to a rich family as a servant. Over the years, she has been sold to many families, and she has encountered vicious masters. It is the first time she has met someone who treats her as gently as this young lady. .

"Then I'll call you Que'er from now on. You don't have to take a bite out of a servant, I don't feel comfortable listening to it." She put some vegetables into the bowl for Que'er, "Hurry up and eat. I'm done eating Take you back to your room and apply medicine to your wound."

I stayed at the foot of the mountain for about a month, and it was already deep winter when I set off again.

After all, Que'er is just a half-grown girl. After getting along for nearly a month, her temperament has become active, and she is not as timid as she was at the beginning.

An Liuyan's injury was not fully healed, Xuan Muchen ordered someone to spread a thick layer of fur in the carriage before setting off.Sitting up is not only soft, but also a lot warmer.

Along the way, Que'er excitedly opened the curtain and looked around.

An Liuyan half-closed her eyes and rested half-lying on the soft and comfortable cushion.

"Miss, where are we going?" Que'er combed two buns, her skinny face had already turned red after a few days of recuperation.She looked at An Liuyan, her voice cheerful and joyful.

She never thought that one day she would be able to sit in such a comfortable big carriage. Fortunately, she was rescued by the master and the lady in this place, and she will definitely do good things to repay them in the future.

"Master is going to take me home." An Liuyan didn't open her eyes, her tone was drawn out, and she just responded in a low voice when she heard Que'er's question. "Que'er, speaking of which, why did you follow that person?"

Xuan Muchen ordered her to let her and Que'er call him Lord before returning to Beijing, so as not to arouse evil intentions from people with bad intentions.

"When I was very young, my father died, and then my mother disappeared. I lived with my uncle and aunt." The corners of Que'er's eyes were a little red, and she suddenly choked up a little. She twisted her fingers, "Uncle's family is not rich. When I was ten years old, my aunt sold me to human traffickers. I have been living a life of being sold and bought.”

An Liuyan opened her eyes, looked at her silently, and then let out a long sigh.

"An Liuyan reached out and gently held Que'er's hand, pulled her lips, and smiled bitterly.

She didn't expect Que'er to have such a miserable life experience.In fact, in today's seemingly peaceful world, there are so many people with miserable lives like Que'er.

"It smells so good." Suddenly, Que'er's eyes lit up, and he lifted the curtain of the car window.

fragrant?An Liuyan came back to her senses, sniffed lightly, and sure enough, she smelled a special fragrance.

Que'er leaned against the car window, patrolling the stalls on both sides of the street, small local markets, and narrow streets, but there were many people bustling on the streets.

There was a stall with a lot of people, and a big "congee" was written on the fluttering cloth flag.

"Miss, they sell porridge. The business is very good, and there are many people around. Miss, do you want to eat?" Que'er asked excitedly.

An Liuyan was silent for a while, the special fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose, her appetite seemed to be aroused a little, but she shook her head lightly.

After all, they were on their way now, and she caused more trouble for Xuan Muchen.

Que'er poured a cup of hot water from the teapot and brought it to An Liuyan. "Que'er understands what Miss means, Miss doesn't want to cause trouble for Master."

An Liuyan looked at her with a faint smile.This girl could see through the thoughts in her heart at a glance, she was really smart.

"Que'er." An Liuyan pulled Que'er to sit down, putting his hands on her back, "Do you have any relatives at all? If so, after I go back, I will ask the Lord to send you to your relatives, but it is good?"

"Miss, are you going to drive this servant away?" Que'er suddenly knelt down, "It was the Lord and Miss who saved the life of this servant. Now that this servant follows Miss, she belongs to Miss. Wherever Miss goes, the servant will go .”

An Liuyan quickly helped Que'er up, patted Que'er's hand, "I don't want to drive you away, if you have relatives, wouldn't it be nice to go back to them?"

Que'er looked at An Liuyan, couldn't help it anymore, and burst into tears.

"Miss treats Que'er so well, Que'er doesn't go anywhere, Que'er stays and serves Miss well."

Seeing Que'er's excitement, An Liuyan took out an embroidered handkerchief from her sleeve, and wiped away her tears, "Okay, okay, I understand. From now on, follow me."

"Miss." After listening to An Liuyan's words, Que'er raised her red and swollen eyes, and looked at her eagerly.

"If you insist on following me, no matter what you encounter in the future, our master and servant will live and die together." She said softly, her voice was very low, as if she was talking to herself.

At this time, Xuan Muqing had already ascended the throne, and An Liuyan was canonized as concubine Ning. She stood in the imperial study, looked at the vigorous man in front of her, and respectfully saluted: "See the emperor."

"Get up quickly." Xuan Muqing strode down to help An Liuyan's body up, his eyes fell gently on An Liuyan's stomach, and gently stroked An Liuyan's back with one hand He patted it lightly, and said softly: "I must have suffered a lot, I have already arranged Ningxiang Temple for you, and you can take a good rest after you go back."

"My Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you." An Liuyan raised her head and looked at Xuan Muqing's still handsome face, a deep sense of loss suddenly appeared in her heart, she took a slight step back, then lowered her head, Slowly said: "The concubine will leave first."

Xuan Muqing looked at the back of An Liuyan turning away, and sighed faintly from his mouth, he turned his head to look at Xuan Muchen, with a puzzled light in his eyes: "What's the situation over there? "

Xuan Muchen knelt down, and reported in all directions: "The leader over there is a noble concubine, I guess they will definitely take action."

"Imperial concubine?" Xuan Muqing's brows were deeply frowned, and his hand was gently rubbing on his chin: "How could it be her?"

"It wasn't her who committed suicide at the beginning, but a substitute of her." Xuan Muchen explained simply, tapping his hand on his temple, and said slowly: "It seems that this woman is more beautiful than you." It’s much more difficult to deal with than imagined.”

After Xuan Muqing's eyes circled around the dusty Xuan Muchen, she closed her eyes tiredly, waved her hands and said, "The prince must not have had a good rest these days, so let's go back and take a good rest now. We will discuss other matters later."

"I will take my leave first." Xuan Muchen saluted, and then slowly exited the imperial study.

When passing through the imperial garden, Liu Xueyao ran up to Xuan Muchen with small steps, and said out of breath, "My lord, I have something to tell you."

"What?" There was a surprised light in Xuan Muchen's eyes.

"The empress said that the little maid who came back with her was too innocent and not suitable for the life of the court. I hope the prince will kindly take her in."

Xuan Muchen lowered his head and pondered for a while, then nodded, and said in a low voice: "If you go back to your empress, this king will know."

Shen Xinlan and Xia Jingyan stood not far away and watched all this quietly, Xia Jingyan sneered faintly, her lips lifted slightly: "It seems that the relationship between Concubine Ning and this prince is not simple."
