The children cried with grievance, which naturally attracted the parents of these children. This caught Li Yan off guard and could only explain to everyone with a shameless face. As a result, the parents of these children looked at Li Yan with a strange look.

After all, people in their thirties and forties have made such mistakes, which is really a bit ridiculous.

Fortunately, the guards beside Li Yan were very clever, and there were shops on the Ping An for passengers to buy things. Therefore, a guard quickly bought another ball and a lot of candy, which made the children stop crying.

He started to eat candy while playing with the ball, and the child's parents were not good at saying anything, and Li Yan was relieved.

Most of the children went to play, and their parents also dispersed, but one of the little girls who seemed to be at most six or seven years old did not leave, but instead looked at Li Yan with his little head tilted and said, "Uncle, yours

There are so many candies left, but you don’t eat them anyway, so why don’t you give them all to me!"

After the little girl said that, her long eyelashes on her big eyes blinked and looked extremely cute. The guards beside Li Yan were generous and bought several big bags of candy at once, even if they put every child's pockets in their pockets.

It was full, but there were still a lot left. Now being held in the hands of the guards, I didn't expect that this greedy little girl would be thinking about it.

Seeing the other person's cute appearance, Li Yan couldn't help but feel childlike again. He smiled and said to the little girl: "Little girl, how do you know that the uncle doesn't eat candy? In fact, the uncle likes to eat candy the most!"

Hearing Li Yan's words, the little girl was also a little stunned, but then she looked at Li Yan up and down a few times, and then said again: "Uncle. My mother told me that adults don't like eating candy. So she always

Leave the candy for me, aren’t you an adult?”

Li Yan was a little amused and laughed. He thought that the child's mother was really good at teaching the child, but after listening to the child's words, he looked at the clothes that the little girl wore neatly, but she looked a little old. I guess the child was

The family’s financial situation is not very good, otherwise the good mother would not have lie to her children even after eating candy.

Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but feel pity for the child in front of him, and at the same time he felt a little emotional. Although the industry and commerce of the Tang and Daqi were developing rapidly, most people were rich in their lives, but people living in poverty still existed.

For example, like the little girl and her mother in front of you.

"Okay, little girl, your mother is right. Adults do not like eating candies. I will give you all the candies from the uncle!" Li Yan said, taking the remaining candies from the guard, but then his

He frowned and said, "Little girl. Where are your parents? The candy in the uncle's hand is too heavy, you can't handle it yourself!"

The guards around Li Yan are well paid, and the candies are cheap nowadays. As a result, they bought too many of them at once, and the remaining candies are at least 20 kilograms, which is not something that a child can move. In addition, Li Yan

It also felt a little strange. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that he had not seen the little girl's parents just now.

The little girl also looked up and looked at the candy bag carefully. Then she looked at her small body and finally realized that she really couldn't hold her. So she showed a sweet smile to Li Yan and said, "Thank you uncle, mother, she

Staying in the cabin and not coming out, can you help me deliver the candy to the cabin?"

Although this little girl is greedy, she is sensible and cute, so Li Yan naturally would not refuse. She was carrying a candy bag in person, talking to the little girl while following her down to the cabin below.

The cabins are also divided into grades. For example, the floor above where Li Yan lives is the best cabin for the entire ship. The conditions on the floor below are much worse, and the space is very small, but the price is cheaper.

Time.

Li Yan followed the little girl to a cabin door. From the conversation just now, Li Yan already knew that the little girl was named Zhou Shuruo. This time she went to Dengzhou to join her relatives with her mother. As for her father, the little girl was vague.

Judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to like mentioning her father.

Shuruo walked to the cabin door without knocking on the door. She pushed open the door and shouted: "Mom, an uncle gave me a lot of candy, enough for me to eat for a long time!"

As the cabin door opened, Li Yan also looked up and found that the cabin was smaller than he thought. There was only a bed inside, which occupied most of the area, leaving a small aisle.

He was greeting a few times, and on the bed, a woman of similar age was sitting there, holding needles and threads in her hands, and seemed to be sewing clothes. When she saw Shuruo coming in, she looked up and smiled at her daughter.

.

But the woman inside didn't expect that there was an outsider standing beside her daughter, so when she saw Li Yan, her face was stunned and she showed a vigilant expression. When Li Yan saw the woman's appearance, she was also the same

Because this woman is actually a very beautiful woman. Although she is over middle age, she has fair skin, beautiful facial features, and a good figure. She exudes a mature woman's charm throughout her body, which makes him even more

Strangely, he always felt that this woman looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere?

Shuruo's mother came over and pulled Shuruo to her side. Then she stared at Li Yan and the others and said, "Who are you and why are you with Shuruo?"

Seeing that someone misunderstood that he was a bad person, Li Yan had to explain. After he told what had just happened, Shuruo's mother relaxed after listening to it, and then thanked Li Yan: "Little girl Shuruo

It is rude to be ignorant and take the initiative to ask Mr. for something. Fortunately, Mr. is generous and does not care about her. Yun Ni thanked Mr. here!"

"Yun Ni?" Li Yan was stunned when he heard the name, and then he finally remembered why he felt familiar with the woman in front of him. It turned out that she was Yun Ni, the famous prostitute in Chang'an back then.

When Li Yan had just traveled to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yong and Yan Bei and others held a banquet at Junzi Building. At that time, this Yun Ni was accompanied by Li Yan, and the first conflict between him and Li Tai was also caused by this Yun Ni.

Later, Li Yan's reputation gradually grew. When attending some banquets, Yun Ni took the initiative to accompany her several times. However, Li Yan was not interested in a woman like Yun Ni. In addition, she left Chang'an later, and the Yun disappeared.

There was news from Ni, but I didn’t expect to meet him by chance on this ship today.

Yun Ni is also a delicate woman. When she saw Li Yan's reaction when she heard her name, she also felt that the middle-aged man in front of her looked very familiar, so she immediately understood what was going on, and her face turned red at the moment.

, lowered his head and didn't say anything again.

Feeling a little awkward atmosphere, Li Yan hurriedly smiled and broke the silence and said, "I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet an old friend of the past during this trip. The so-called meeting is fate. I wonder if my wife is free. Yang wants to ask her to talk to her?"

When he was away, he always regarded Yang as his surname.

"Mr. Yang, please respect yourself. Yun Ni has already married a wife, how can you hold a low-key career again?" But what Li Yan didn't expect was that Yun Ni stood upside down after hearing this and said with an angry look on his face. Yun Ni used to be Chang'an.

Although famous prostitutes are the kind who sells their skills but not their bodies, their reputation is naturally not very good. Now Li Yan asks the other party to talk to him, which naturally makes Yun Ni’s sensitive heart misunderstand his meaning, thinking that Li Yan wants to take the opportunity to propose it.

What a mean request.

Seeing that the other party misunderstood his meaning, Li Yan had to smile again and explained with a wry smile: "Mrs. Yang only met his wife several times at a few banquets. Now, seeing her wife in such a situation, she was a little curious.

, If possible, Yang also wants to help his wife, which can be considered a little bit of friendship!”

Li Yan really didn't lie this time. According to Yun Ni's fame back then, there were so many nobles who wanted to take her as their concubine. It was difficult for those rich and wealthy businessmen to see her. Therefore, when Li Yan wanted to come, Yun Ni no matter what.

It shouldn't be that he lives in the cheapest cabin and lives in a very embarrassing way, so he was very curious and wanted to know what the other party had experienced over the years?

From Li Yan's tone, Yun Ni also heard a kind of sincerity, which made her finally let go of her guard, like a hedgehog. The mother and daughter are now helpless, and this time she went to Dengzhou to join her marriage, and she didn't even want to do anything.

I knew whether the distant cousin was willing to take in their mother and daughter? Therefore, when I heard that the other party was willing to help me, Yun Ni was naturally very moved.

At the same time, she began to seriously look at the middle-aged man in front of her. However, when she saw Li Yan's handsome and mature appearance, she always felt very familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Back then, she often went to banquets in the upper class and saw too many people.

"Yun Ni is a miserable person. If the gentleman doesn't dislike Yun Ni's long-term words, then Yun Ni also wants to find someone to tell me about the bitterness of the years!" Yun Ni thought for a moment and finally agreed.

Li Yan was also very happy when he heard this and immediately ordered someone to prepare a table of wine and food. Then the two of them came to the back of the upper deck, where an open-air restaurant was built. Usually casual passengers could order a few side dishes here and call a pot.

It is very pleasant to drink and enjoy the sea scenery while drinking.

Li Yan ordered an elegant seat with fixed screens around it to facilitate their conversation. The little girl Shuruo had a good impression of Li Yan, and now she heard that the uncle wanted to invite them to dinner.

My little mouth kept chattering, and kept clamoring to eat lobster.

Li Yan naturally would not refuse the little girl's request, but the price of lobsters is not cheap, which made Yun Ni look at Li Yan with a little apology.
