I saw the hydrangea flying straight into the arms of the beggar squatting in the corner like a sharp arrow. The beggar staggered when he was hit by the hydrangea and sat back on the ground, but the hydrangea was still firmly planted in his arms and he was picking at it.
It looks like I can't even dig it out.
The noisy crowd seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, and suddenly became quiet, and they all looked at the beggar intently.
The beggar was also stunned. He lowered his head to look at the hydrangea in his arms, and suddenly grinned so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "I...I received Miss Li's hydrangea! Hahahaha!"
In the crowd, some were jealous of the beggar's bad luck, while others felt sorry for Miss Li. Of course, more people wanted to see if the lady from Li's wife's family would really marry
beggar.
Mingruo was not curious about this matter. She thought with her toes that this rich lady would not marry a beggar. She really thought she was writing a storybook.
"Let's go, go back and wash our clothes and pack our luggage." Mingruo pulled Si Haochen's sleeves and walked out of the crowd.
The hydrangea was given to the beggar by Si Haochen. This Miss Li dared to play "throwing the hydrangea", so she must have some influence in this town. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress local snakes, they can't cause trouble, and they have to be on their way.
Si Haochen let Mingruo pull him away. They were not in the center of the crowd and quickly withdrew. He was about to return the same way, but was blocked by someone.
Mingruo's heart skipped a beat when she saw the man dressed as a servant standing in front of her.
"Sir, please stay." One of them stretched out his hand to stop him.
Fifteen stood in front of Mingruo: "How many of you are there?"
"My young lady invites you." After saying this, the servant separated from the crowd and opened a path to Tianxiang Tower for Mingruo and the others.
Ming Ruo was afraid that Si Haochen would start a fight if he disagreed, so he shook his head at the servant: "We have other things to do, so we won't go."
I saw Miss Li, with her hair full of pearls and green hair, walking towards her. Her big-sleeved shirt was still a long-tailed one, and it was still a foot long.
Miss Li looked sad: "Sir, my grandmother is seriously ill. An old man said that she needs a good match from God..."
Ming Ruo couldn't help but frown, wondering what Miss Li meant: "I don't know the art of praying for relief, please ask someone to ask for help."
"May I ask your surname, sir?" Miss Li looked at Mingruo with burning eyes.
"My surname is Wu, Wu Ciren." Did she say that her name was exactly the same as what a real person said? "There is no such person" to find out.
"Mr. Wu, the little girl's hydrangea was thrown to you." Miss Li glared at Si Haochen with resentment, "This young man deliberately threw the little girl's hydrangea to the beggar."
"Ha..." When did he become so popular? "Thank you for your love, Miss. However, I have no intention of doing so. I would like to ask Miss to choose another husband-in-law. Farewell!"
Mingruo felt that speaking in such a formal manner was too difficult for a modern person like her.
"Stop!" Ms. Li was optimistic that she would succeed, so she stopped wasting her words and said, "I am going to marry you. If you don't obey, you will never leave Jinxi Town!"
The onlookers were also astonished, and then started talking about her. Some people explained that if she didn't know how to commend her, others said that Miss Li was trying to make things difficult for others. Most people did not dare to say anything, because the brother of member Li was a high-ranking official in the state capital.
What? This operation is a bit irritating, huh? Since Miss Li has started to act up, you have to reciprocate, right?
"Ms. Li, right? In business, there is a saying of 'what you want and what I want'. I am walking well on the road, and you want to marry me even if I don't want to. What's the point?
Your grandmother is ill and wants to be blessed with a 'good match' from heaven. Hasn't this 'god' already given it to you - the hydrangea is still in the arms of your 'good match'." Mingruo looked over and saw that the beggar had been
After being beaten, the hydrangea was also taken away.
"It is unfaithful for you to disregard the law and allow your slaves to commit murders; it is unfilial for you not to "bring happiness" to your grandmother because the beggar does not suit your liking; it is unkind to beat the beggar like this; it is unrighteous to dislike the poor and love the rich.
As an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust person like you, I have reason to suspect that under the guise of ‘throwing embroidery balls to attract brides’, you are committing the vicious act of ‘robbing men of the people’, and it is disgraceful to deceive the world and steal your reputation!”
Mingruo's words attracted cheers from the onlookers. Fifteen also looked at Mingruo with admiration. Her princess must not be too eloquent.
Mingruo took a piece of silver and gave it to the beggar, asking him to go to the hospital to see a doctor. Then he politely bowed his hands to everyone and said, "Goodbye."
The three of them walked out of the commercial street lined with shops, and the surrounding area gradually became quiet.
Seeing a vendor selling candied haws on the roadside, Mingruo walked over and asked, "How to sell candied haws?"
"Five copper coins per bunch." The little brother immediately replied, "Sir, my candied haws-along candy is delicious."
"Wang... Young Master, do you want to eat?" Mingruo asked.
Okay, I am forced to become a prince again. 'Prince' shook his head: "I won't eat."
"Here are two skewers." Mingruo took out ten copper coins from his purse and handed them to the younger brother. Si Haochen raised his eyebrows.
The little brother handed the candied haws to Mingruo. Si Haochen was about to pick it up, but Mingruo handed a bunch to Fifteen.
Shi Fifteen took the candied haws with a smile: "Thank you, husband... Master!"
"Pfft..." Mingruo couldn't help laughing, "Ahem, Fifteen has a very bright mind!"
"Hehe." Fifteen scratched his head.
The more Si Haochen looked at Fifteen, the more he felt displeased. How could he have such a stupid secret guard?
The three of them turned into a small alley. Mingruo felt that it was very strange. He probably hadn't been here just now. It was probably another road.
"Are you really not going to try it?" Mingruo raised the candied haws in front of Si Haochen, "The one at the top is the biggest."
Si Haochen lowered his head and bit into the first red fruit. It was a little sour and a little sweet, but it tasted pretty good.
"..." Well, I was just being strategically polite. Aren't you going to eat it? Mingruo stared blankly at the candied haws skewers that were missing the largest and reddish one.
"Master, there is a tail following us." As a secret guard, Fifteen is still very vigilant.
Si Haochen had noticed it a long time ago, but the person who came with him was so poor in martial arts that he didn't take it seriously at all.
"Let's go." Si Haochen took Mingruo and walked a few steps quickly, turned a corner, flew directly over the roof, and landed on the roof of another street.
From a condescending perspective, he could see clearly below. He could only see a few servants looking around in the alley where they disappeared, and even knocked on the doors of residents' homes to search randomly.
"They seem to be from the Li family." Because they were far away, Mingruo couldn't see their appearance clearly, but the clothes they wore were very similar to the servants who blocked the way before.
Si Haochen remained silent, confirming Mingruo's judgment.
"The folk customs in Guibao are very fierce." Ming Ruo joked.
The corner of Si Haochen's mouth twitched. It was already bad to snatch women from the people elsewhere. His fiefdom was already robbing men from the people. Isn't that brave?
"If you were a man, I would definitely recommend you to become the Censor at the Censorship Station." Si Haochen jumped several times and brought Mingruo into the small courtyard where they lived.
