The Concubine of Crossing

Wuji Teahouse used to be just an inconspicuous teahouse, and its business has been tepid.But this year, the shopkeeper came up with a new idea, and invited a storyteller to tell stories in the teahouse. The business of the teahouse immediately improved. Up to now, there are no empty seats.

The story told today was particularly exciting. When everyone came out of the teahouse, they were still reminiscing about the ups and downs of the plot, and even started to discuss the next direction with acquaintances.

A young man with a very handsome face stepped out of the crowd, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall and straight figure. With his handsome face and proud height, people can't help but look at him more.

It's just that the clothes on this man are so ordinary, the cheapest cotton gowns sold in cloth shops, which makes many ladies who looked at his face turn their heads in disappointment.

Li Xiao didn't know how many unnecessary peach blossoms he had blocked for himself because of his clothes, but listened to the discussions of the people around him.He couldn't help but bend the corner of his mouth when he heard that everyone had given good reviews.

This Zhao Xiucai is really a talent, he just said some stories, he can write wonderful stories one after another.

The most important thing is that Zhao Shushengrun's pen for the storyline he wrote, but he still shared [-]% of the proceeds.

You must know that Zhao Xiucai is now a well-known vernacular writer in Pucheng. Not only are his vernacular books selling very well, even the storyteller likes to tell his stories, which has made him very famous now.

It is said that his words have spread to the capital, and the sales there are even better than here, so that Li Xiao's pockets have bulged recently.

It has been a year since Li Xiao traveled to this dynasty. He has no worries about food and clothing, but he doesn't have any money in his account. It is very inconvenient to buy anything.

It's all right now, with the windfall income Zhao Xiucai gave him, his pockets have also bulged up, because in the past two months, it is said that the book has sold very well in the capital area, and the income in two months has directly spread into his pockets. It more than doubled, but he couldn't be happier.When I passed by Li Ji's dim sum shop, I went in, and when I came out, I already had an oiled paper bag in my hand, which exuded a faint fragrance of roses.

Li Xiao turned a few corners and entered an alley where few people would pass by. He looked around and saw no one, so he put the oiled paper bag in his arms, then put down his robe, and borrowed some strength The room has already jumped to the top of the wall, and then jumped to the ground.

Before he could stand still, he found the figure standing in front of him, subconsciously punched him, and the man raised his head and screamed, "Ah! Master, don't hit me!"

Li Xiao had already seen who the person in front of him was, and withdrew his hand embarrassingly. Seeing that the third son was still screaming, he couldn't help but kicked him lightly, "Okay, I just didn't see clearly, I didn't mean to hit you .”

Hearing his words, the third son raised his head from his arms to look at him, and saw that although the expression on his face was somewhat helpless, he was not angry, so he stood up and smiled at Li Xiao twice, "The third son knows that the master Best!"

Li Xiao wanted to roll his eyes, but even though he murmured in his heart that this kid was too thoughtful, he still took out a greased paper bag from his bosom and stuffed it.

The third son received the oiled paper bag, and his eyes lit up instantly, "Ah, Li Ji's rose cake! Is it for me? Master, you are so kind!"

"You also know Li Ji's rose cake?" Li Xiao was a little surprised.

The third son nodded hurriedly, and pouted his mouth towards the inner courtyard, "It's not that Aunt Zhang wanted to eat snacks, but she bought some and couldn't finish them, so she rewarded some in the courtyard...Master, don't you know that the blessings come to you?" How long have you been showing those two pastries?"

Speaking of Aunt Zhang, one has to talk about the identity of the body that Li Xiao traveled through, the concubine of the only son of Luo Changfu, the richest man in Pucheng.

Yes, concubine!

A dignified man has actually time traveled to become a concubine in someone else's backyard. I have to say that when Li Xiao heard the news, his heart was very broken.

The first reaction at that time was naturally to leave.Only through Sanzi's words combined with the actual situation, it is found that this possibility is almost zero.

First of all, Yuanshen's deed of selling herself is still in the hands of her husband, Luo Laibao, the young master of the Luo family.Yes, the original body is not only a concubine, but also a lowly concubine bought from outside. Among the concubines, her status is the lowest.A lowly concubine like him has a better name, but in fact she is similar to a servant, life and death are all in the hands of the master.

If he escapes, let alone how difficult it is for people without status to live in this world. Due to the extreme inconvenience of transportation, if he uses his legs to run, it is estimated that he will not be able to run far in ten and a half months. is an unsurprising result.

And this world's tolerance for escaped slaves is extremely low, and the escaped slaves who are captured almost have only a dead end, especially in concubines like his, the possibility of being soaked in a pig cage is almost eight out of ten.

Furthermore, he asked the third son of the servant in a roundabout manner, and the third son told him with a sad face that the young master had not entered his yard for three years.

In view of various considerations, Li Xiao did not leave Luo's house, but lived in this remote corner where no one cares about, and lived here for more than a year.

Speaking of which, the original owner was once favored.

It is said that when the original owner first entered the mansion, he was so good-looking, and he was stunned to wear commoner clothes, which made Master Luo's several well-dressed wives and concubines inferior, not to mention that Luo Laibao regarded him as a man wearing men's clothing. The Meijiao Niang bought it back at a glance, and the whole Luo Mansion thought he was a woman.

Although Young Master Luo realized that he had lost his sight that night, the original owner was really good-looking, even if he was a man, he really pampered him for several months.

It's just that the good times don't last long, and I don't know if Luo's food is too good, or the original owner has really reached the age of growth. In a few months, his height has grown a lot, and his originally indistinguishable face has also changed. The edges and corners are sharpened.

Although the face is still pretty, it has changed from soft to handsome. Young Master Luo used to be able to ignore gender issues on that beautiful face and soft figure, but now he looks at the one who is taller and stronger than him Physically, he couldn't speak at all.

Thus, the original owner fell out of favor.

At the beginning, she was ridiculed by other concubines a few times, but then it was probably because the face of the original owner was too good-looking, and she didn't have the enchanting charm that a male concubine should have, and there are differences between men and women. Don't know what gossip will come out.

Then, the small courtyard became completely quiet.If it weren't for the third son coming in and out from time to time, the gate of the yard would probably be covered with moss.

It is because he knows that he will not have the possibility of sleeping in, that Li Xiao lives here with peace of mind.However, the word concubine is still a scar that cannot be mentioned to him.

So he started to change the subject, "Sanzi, why are you standing here today?" Sanzi is restless, and he often goes out to chat on weekdays. When he climbed the wall to go shopping, he would hang around the gate of the yard.

In his words, guard the gate in case anyone comes by.Although he has never guarded anyone for more than a year, it has not dampened his enthusiasm.Of course, Li Xiao felt that the more important reason was that he couldn't find anything else to do besides guarding the goal.

Hearing Li Xiao's words, the third son froze when he was eating rose cakes, and slapped his forehead suddenly, "Oh, my memory! The master is not good, the young master fell into the water, you go and have a look!"

Li Xiao paused, then turned to look at the third son.There is only one person in this mansion who can be called the young master, and it is Luo Changfu's only son Luo Laibao, who is also the husband of this body.

Er, that is, his current husband in name.

Although he struggles with this identity, but for more than a year, because of this identity, he has no worries about food and clothing, and it can be regarded as a kind of love, so he should care about his feelings and reason, "How is the person?"

The third son quickly replied, "It has been picked up, and it is not life-threatening, but it is still unconscious." It was because of this that he guarded the yard. He originally thought that he would tell him when the master came back, so that The master went to brush up on the sense of presence.Unexpectedly, being frightened by the master, he would forget everything, and being tempted by delicious food, he completely forgot about the young master...

Li Xiao couldn't help reaching out and knocking on the third son's forehead. The third son was in pain, but he covered his head with teary eyes and dared not make a sound.

He has lived in this place for more than a year. Although Li Xiao doesn't wander around, he still has a clear understanding of the environment in the mansion.After inquiring about the third son, he went directly to Luo Laibao's residence.

Different from Li Xiao's yard with only weeds, Luo Laibao's yard is decorated magnificently. Even the flower beds are painted with golden powder. Know that the owner is rich!

When Li Xiao came in, he saw a lot of people standing in the courtyard, and he could smell the fragrant wind from a distance.

Seeing him coming in, many people turned their heads curiously. The moment they saw his appearance clearly, many girls blushed and lowered their heads one after another, and then quietly asked the people around who this person was and why will appear here.

Many people didn't remember who Li Xiao was at first, but thought this face looked familiar. After thinking about it, everyone's expressions began to become strange. , It is estimated that the yard has already discussed it.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao sighed in his heart.If it wasn't for the fact that his parents were still lying there, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, he really didn't want to step into such a pile of red powder.

Especially these red powder piles are still his "husband"'s backyard, thinking of this word makes him feel goosebumps all over his body.

Li Xiao was about to bite the bullet, when he heard a woman's crisp exclamation from the room, "Ah, Lord, you finally woke up! I really scared my family to death, blah blah..."

Li Xiao's body froze for an instant, and after the female voice, there were several delicate voices of women, and the scolding voice of a middle-aged woman, "Why are you arguing, my son is still alive, why are you crying?" !"

Then came the voice of a middle-aged man calling the doctor, "Doctor, come and see my Laibao..."

"Since the young master has woken up, there is no serious problem for the time being. The old man prescribed two prescriptions that can warm up and repel the cold. After the young master finishes drinking, he will be fine..." This time it was the old man's voice.

Just by listening to the various voices, one can know what kind of chaos is going on inside.

Li Xiao stood at the door and watched for a while, knowing that Luo Laibao was already awake and there was nothing he could do to help, then he turned and left.

So, when Luo Laibao opened his eyes, he looked around the crowd, but he didn't see the familiar figure.But when he saw his parents, he shouted in a hoarse voice, "Father... Mother..." Are you here to pick me up?

The feeling of suffocation when dying still remained in the throat, it was very dry, and the pain in the head throbbed, Luo Laibao only felt uncomfortable all over, but a few concubines were crying there one by one in order to gain a sense of existence Looking at the young master, Luo Laibao was so loud that his head hurt. In the end, he couldn't hold back, and threw a pillow at him, "Get out!"

They were all people who abandoned him, so why would they still pester him after he died!

The world was finally quiet, Luo Laibao closed his eyes and thought, did not see that person, did it prove that he was still alive?

Then he must wait a few more days on the Naihe Bridge, and when he comes, they will go to Huangquan together, waiting for the fate of the next life.
