Disaster Princess

"Based on this, Qin Ji and I have known each other for a long time." Xia Nanzhu said to himself, "If my father and mother are still here, my brother would not owe so many gambling debts, or Qian Fan Rin Bad kings don’t impose such heavy taxes, and I won’t leave the hunting grounds. Maybe I can go hunting with Qin Ji often now!” Xia Nanzhu looked at the roof of her cozy little bed, and said to herself blankly. She said to herself, "Oh, when will I pay off the Gu family's money and leave this damn Gu family castle!"

Xia Nanzhu thought about her family background, but she didn't notice that Mo Lan walked in.

Seeing that she was half lying on the bed on her back in a daze, Mo Lan walked over and called softly, "Nanzhu?"

"Huh?" Xia Nanzhu quickly came back to her senses, and when she saw it was Mo Lan, she got up from the bed and asked politely with a smile: "Sister Mo Lan, are you bringing someone over to clean again?"

"Yes!" Mo Lan replied, and looked at the preoccupied Nanzhu with a gentle smile, and sat down on the stone stool, asking, "What's the matter? Why are you thinking so preoccupied? I called you at the door." There was no response."

Xia Nanzhu pursed her lips, then let go, and said slowly, "It's nothing."

"You're homesick, aren't you?" Mo Lan asked with concern.

Xia Nanzhu shook her head and said, "My parents are both dead, and there is only one brother who is useless, and it is because of him and I that I got a part-time job here to pay back the money. I have no home..." As he spoke, he also felt that It is very bleak.

When Mo Lan heard this, she frowned slightly, patted Nanzhu's shoulder distressedly, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, then treat Gujiabao as your own home! It's just that you are too lonely in the inner courtyard, and you should come out of the outer courtyard more often." Talk, laugh and play with us, and life will be much happier."

"This is not my home!" Xia Nanzhu said unwillingly, pouted, and looked at Mo Lan aggrievedly, and couldn't bear to wipe her face, so she changed her words, "The Gu family is my creditor, I just came to work to pay off the debt , are different from you."

Hearing this, Mo Lan also smiled softly, and said: "OK, OK, the Gu family is your creditor. Then you treat me as a family member. If you are still young, then I am your sister. You see, although your brother is not good, but you I have a family. As for me, my family is gone. I have been working in Gujiabao since I can remember. Although I am a servant, the people in Gujiabao treat me very well. I have already regarded this place as my home. If you don't dislike it, you can recognize me as your sister! From now on, I will love you."

Xia Nanzhu was also very moved when she heard this, and thought in her heart how long it had been since no one had chatted with her so intimately, and comforted herself like this, and when she thought about it, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and she yelled sincerely in a low voice: " elder sister……"

"Hey!" Mo Lan answered loudly and resolutely.

Hearing this, Xia Nanzhu changed from being sad to laughing in an instant, and quickly wiped the faint moisture from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.Mo Lan also helped wipe it with a handkerchief, and comforted her with a smile: "Fool, it's a good cry." For some reason, Mo Lan felt that the girl in front of her was stubborn and stubborn, she seemed strong but also weak, and her heart was full of love.

Xia Nanzhu calmed herself down for a while, then said again: "Sister Mo Lan, I don't want to work in the inner courtyard, can you transfer me to the outer courtyard? Then I can work with you."

"Your job is easy and free, and everyone in the outer courtyard is envious. It's a good thing you want to go out." Mo Lan said with a smile, "Then you have to tell me why?"

"I don't like City Lord Gu. He looks cold all day long and speaks coldly, as if someone owes him money. I don't like such people." Xia Nanzhu said with disgust.

Hearing that, Mo Lan laughed and joked, "Don't you just owe someone money?"

"Sister Mo Lan..." Xia Nanzhu said helplessly listening to Mo Lan's teasing.

Mo Lan originally thought that Xia Nanzhu was dissatisfied with Gu Han because of some important matter, but after hearing her reason, she also smiled, and persuaded her: "Actually, the owner of the city is quite nice. As for his cold temper, he might be different from him." It is related to life experience. I think, after getting along for a long time, you will see another side of him, and your opinion of him will also change."

"No need! If you don't like it, you don't like it." Xia Nanzhu said, took Mo Lan's hand again, and begged: "My good sister, let me go to the outer courtyard to accompany you!"

Seeing that Nanzhu insisted on this, Mo Lan said in embarrassment: "Although I can transfer personnel from the city lord's side, he transferred you in person. I'm afraid I have to ask him about this matter."

Xia Nanzhu heard this, shook her head quickly, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, forget it, if you ask him if he disagrees, my life will be more difficult."

"It's not that exaggerated!" Seeing Xia Nanzhu's reaction, Mo Lan couldn't laugh or cry.

"Then, if I want to go out for a stroll, can I? Go to the street for a walk, I'll be back soon." Xia Nanzhu looked at Mo Lan aggrievedly.

"This..." Mo Lan pondered for a while, seeing Xia Nanzhu's pitiful eyes looking at her expectantly, and couldn't bear to shatter her request, so she said with a smile, "All right!" He took two ingots of silver from his waist, handed them to Xia Nanzhu, and said, "Then run an errand for me, and go to our own shop in the street: Youpinfang, where you can buy ten plain handkerchiefs and come back." , pick something softer. Many girls in the outer courtyard have worn out handkerchiefs, so I’ll replace them with new ones.”

"It doesn't take two ingots of silver, one ingot is left over!" Xia Nanzhu said, looking at the heavy silver in his hand, and wanted to return one ingot.

Mo Lan pushed back and said, "Oh, here you are, just take it." Then she whispered, "Buy what you like for the rest. This is my token, and you can only get it if you hold it." Go. Here! Just, you must be back before dark."

Xia Nanzhu took the token, nodded movedly, and said with a smile: "Got it!"

Mo Lan smiled slightly, then turned around to see how those people were cleaning.

Here Xia Nanzhu can finally walk out of Gujiabao, and happily trots all the way to the side door, her little face is flushed, and she feels hot and sweaty from running so fast, but so what, she can go out to play right away .

Finally, relying on Mo Lan's personal badge, Xia Nanzhu came to the long street outside Gujiabao, stretched out her hands to feel the long wind of the street, and took a deep breath.

"Ah! This is the smell of the long street, mixed with the smell of various food stalls, mixed with the smell of fruits and vegetables, and faintly smells of human sweat, but these are the breath of life!" Xia Nanzhu said to herself with satisfaction He said to himself, "Wait, I can smell the sour plum soup!"

So, with a keen nose, Xia Nanzhu quickly found a sour plum soup stall, sat down, and shouted to an old woman in the stall: "Madam proprietress, here's a big bowl!"

"Can I have a bowl?"

Suddenly, a man sat down beside Xia Nanzhu and said.

When Xia Nanzhu heard the familiar voice, she suddenly turned her head to see that it was none other than Tao Qinji whom she was thinking of.

With a "teng", Xia Nanzhu stood up excitedly, couldn't hide her smile, and exclaimed happily: Qin Ji!

Tao Qinji pulled her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Sit down, don't blah blah blah in the street, this is not your big hunting ground."

Xia Nanzhu looked overjoyed at this friend whom he hadn't seen for nearly half a year, and quickly asked, "What a coincidence! Why are you also in Sirius City!"

"Miss Boss, bring me a bowl too!" Tao Qinji also said.

"Okay, wait a moment, two guests." The old woman replied with a smile, and quickly scooped two bowls from her large cooking pot and brought them up.

"There are so many coincidences, I came here specially to find you." Tao Qinji said after taking a sip of sour plum soup.

"So, did you receive the address I entrusted to you?" Xia Nanzhu asked happily.

"Well. Half a year ago, I knew that you were brought to Sirius City by your brother. It was just that I was busy at the time, so I never came to look for you. About two weeks ago, I just needed to go to Sirius City I'm here to do something." Tao Qinji said.

"So, you found my brother?" Xia Nanzhu asked.

Tao Qinji shook his head, looked at Xia Nanzhu, and said, "I didn't look for your brother, I know you don't like your brother, and so do I. I found out that you are here, and I have been wandering around Gujiabao these days , I want to wait for you to come out. Just now I saw you running all the way from Gujiabao, so I followed."

"Sure enough, you are so skilled that you followed me without realizing it." Xia Nanzhu praised with a smile.

"If you need, I can give you money to repay the Gu family, so you don't have to stay in the Gu family. The Gu family castle is very complicated, and the city lord, Gu Han, is also a person with a deep palace. You can leave as soon as possible!" Tao Qinjiruo Said thoughtfully.

After hearing this, Xia Nanzhu thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I know you have good intentions, but this is a lot of money, and I can't ask you for it."

"Let me borrow it from you, okay?" Tao Qinji almost begged.

Xia Nanzhu still shook her head and said with a smile, "Thank you! It's just that I don't want to owe you so much."

"Do you mind?" Tao Qinji said with a little loss, "Do you mind if I help you?"

"No! It's just that I can handle this matter myself. Don't worry, the Gu family pays me a very high salary. The people I get along with now are also very good. If I do well, maybe I can be with my family. Let me tell you about the boss, and I can leave early!" Xia Nanzhu said with a smile.

Tao Qinji looked at the girl with a bright smile in front of him, and couldn't help laughing. He knew this girl too well, knew that if she said no, it would be futile to insist on it, so he had to do what she wanted.

"However, Xiaozhu, you have to promise me that you don't want to have too much contact with Gu Han in Gujiabao." Tao Qinji solemnly instructed, "If you get too close to him, you will be very dangerous."

"I won't get too close to him! This guy is annoying!" Xia Nanzhu said with a blank look.

"Oh." Tao Qinji inexplicably caught a clue, and asked tentatively, "So, you have already dealt with him?"

"Well, forget it! Don't mention him. In short, I don't like him. I'm annoyed when I mention him." Xia Nanzhu said with disgust, "Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you, they call me now Xia Nanzhu, I'm used to it too."
