Bao'er's name is Long Bao'er. When she was a child, she was a well-behaved and caring doll, and she was deeply loved by the dragon family. It would be no exaggeration to say that she is the baby of the Long family.
But no matter how well-behaved dolls are, they will have worries.
As Boa grew up, she began to have troubles.
That trouble is - marriage.
In fact, Bao'er knew very well in her heart that she should not be thinking like this. As the daughter of the largest household in the capital, she enjoys brocade clothes and jade food, and everyone loves her. But she couldn't help but worry, not only worried, she even felt sad.
She was sixteen, and a matchmaker came to propose marriage.
Bao'er didn't want to get married. Whenever she imagined that she would talk to an unfamiliar man as close to her mother as her mother, she would get goosebumps all over her body when he hugged her waist and held her hands.
Her personal maid, Qiao Er, comforted her, and after spending some time with her, she naturally became acquainted. After getting to know each other, it is natural to be close.
Baby doesn't think so.
She is so big that she is only close to one of the young men except her younger brother Long Yin. That is her birthday brother.
Long Qingsheng is the son of Bao'er's uncle Long Da, Bao'er's cousin, and the eldest son of the Long family.
Bao'er once thought that she would live happily with her brother Qingsheng forever. But she learned later that cousins can't be together forever like husband and wife.
Bao'er didn't understand at first, what does it matter if she doesn't want to be a husband and wife, and her cousins are also very good. Brother Qingsheng is so kind to her, she is also kind to brother Qingsheng, she is very happy to be with him, his smile is warm and beautiful, she loves to listen to what he says, he always knows what she is thinking, and With him, she is relaxed and at ease. Just like this, brothers and sisters get along, and they will always be happy.
It wasn't until the matchmaker came to the door that Bao'er began to realize that it was impossible to be together forever without being a husband and wife. Because she has to get married, and Qingsheng brother has to get a wife. After they get married, they can no longer be as close as they used to be.
This realization made Bao'er flustered, and she suddenly didn't know how to live in the future.
Qingsheng brother married a wife, and has a sister-in-law, will it still be so good to her? Can she still hold his arm and act like a spoiled child like before? He will still take her to climb the mountain to see the scenery when she is not in the spirit. Will he carry her down the mountain when she is tired? Will he still stare at her and not allow her to be picky eaters? Will he still make lanterns for her and take her to a lantern festival? Will he still paint with her and listen to her play the piano without laughing at her
Bao'er didn't dare to ask, no matter how smart she was, she knew that this question couldn't be asked randomly. But she will be sad about it.
The identities of cousins and sisters weighed heavily on Baoer's heart like a mountain.
This day, the matchmaker is here again, but this time, it is not to say kiss to Baoer, but to say kiss to Long Qingsheng. Long Da's family was not there, and the second master Long refused this matter.
He said that it was not up to him as an uncle to call the shots, and he said that the child had his own idea for celebrating the birthday.
The second master of the Long family refused to be polite at all, but the matchmaker was not discouraged. She said that when the eldest son of the Long family was here, she would come again.
Bao'er, who was hiding behind the house and heard the end from the beginning, was very flustered. Brother Qingsheng was about to turn 20. His wife's day is near, right
Bo'er turned her head and ran "dong dong", all the way back to the room.
How to do how to do? She actually didn't want her brother to marry a sister-in-law to celebrate his birthday. She was so bad.
Bao'er took a deep breath and spat at herself in her heart. At such a time, it would be better if someone scolds herself, and if someone scolds her, she will definitely wake up.
But the most effective way to scold her is Long Qingsheng.
Long Qingsheng was stationed at the border at this time, and he has not returned for nearly a year. He often wrote to her, he said that he was trying to be a good man, let her take good care of herself at home and be good.
The more she thought about it, the more sad she became. She didn't seem to be as good as she used to be. What should I do? She is no longer the "baby baby" in everyone's mouth.
Boa was depressed for a day. The next day she tried to cheer herself up and took her sister Qiao'er to the street. But taking a break in a street tea shop, I heard the old women in the city on the side break their mouths, and they were talking about what happened to their relatives in the countryside. There were two brothers and sisters who acted close to each other and held hands.
Baoer's heart trembled when he heard it, and he couldn't even hold hands? Does she have to stay away from brother Qingsheng in the future
Qiaoer was curious to ask what is a pig cage. The old woman replied that she put the woman in a pig cage and immersed it in water to sink. Qiaoer's eyes widened and she denounced the cruelty, but the old woman was a humiliating woman, as it should be.
Qiaoer was about to argue with her again, but Baoer hurriedly pulled her away.
Bao'er was very flustered, she was afraid that if someone wanted to pull her into the pig cage, the elders of her family would not be counted, and Qingsheng brother was afraid that he would have to beat him to death. It's going to cause trouble, but it's not good.
Bo'er warned herself not to think wildly. Cousins are cousins. It is a good thing to have a sister-in-law, and a husband-in-law is also a good thing. She should face these calmly. But the more she comforted herself like this, the more she couldn't let go. She felt that she couldn't bear other men holding her hand, and couldn't bear other men talking in her ear. The more she thought about it, the more helpless she became. Worry about getting sick.
Several days passed in a blink of an eye.
Baoer couldn't bear it any longer, she decided to go to Long Qingsheng, talk to him, and let him scold her. As long as it was what brother Qingsheng said, she would listen to him. If he scolded her, she would be able to settle down and stop thinking about it.
But if this is told to other people, the family will definitely not agree.
So she decided to run away from home.
At this time, Long Qingsheng was stationed in Zhonglan City, which is a far-off border town and where Long Qingsheng's parents met and fell in love. Long Qingsheng did not go with his father, but chose this city to study military affairs with another old general Situ. In his letter to Baoer, he said that he wanted to hone himself. When I grow up, I can't always rely on my parents, I have to make my own way.
Bao'er didn't care about this at first, because no matter where Long Qingsheng went, he wasn't by her side anyway, and it made no difference to her. But now she wants to find him, but she has a reason. She thought about what brother Qingsheng said, that when she grows up, she has to make her own way, not her parents. So she didn't make a big mistake when she went to Qingsheng brother.
Besides, Bo'er thinks running away from home should be normal in their Long family. Her aunt An Ruochen ran away from home and met her eldest uncle, and only then did she have a birthday brother. Her mother took her away from home so that she could follow her father back home. And her second uncle, who lives in Mu'er, only returned to her parents' house because she was blind and could not go far, but strictly speaking, she should have run away from home.
Since running away from home is the traditional behavior of the woman in this family, it is not a big deal for her to go out for a walk. What's more, she felt that she had a legitimate reason for leaving.
She was looking for scolding.
It is more legitimate than the reason for the elders to leave.
So that day, Long Bao'er packed up a burden, brought her private money, and set off on the misty morning light.
She went to find her birthday brother.
scold!
Bo'er thought running away from home would not be too bad if it wasn't good, but she soon found out that she was wrong.
Because she is hungry.
Out of the city all the way to the south, Bao'er sat on the carriage of the grain delivery old man who kindly pulled her all the way, and found that the road was all in the wilderness, and there were no shops selling food.
In other words, she had money on her body, but nothing to eat.
She is hungry.
Under the guidance of her mother Feng Wu since she was a child, being hungry is a very serious thing for Bao'er. She was carrying the burden, her face was melancholy and miserable.
Seeing her appearance, the old man who delivered the food suddenly felt sympathy.
"Girl, is something wrong at your house?"
probably. Bao'er thought seriously, her family does have many things every day, and everyone is very busy. So Boa nodded.
The old man who sent the grain saw that things were as he expected, and he felt even more distressed. No wonder this little girl was on the road alone early in the morning, thinking that she was in a hurry to go to the funeral.
"Girls condolences, which family fairy is gone?"
condolences? Fairy to go
Bao'er finally reacted, she quickly shook her head, blushed and whispered, "I'm hungry."
hungry
The food delivery old man reacted for a while before he understood what the little girl meant.
If you can starve like a dead person at home, then you must be very hungry. The old man decided to continue to sympathize with her. He dug out the dry food bag, took out a piece of cake and handed it to Baoer.
"Put your stomach first, girl."
Bo'er thanked him and took it to eat.
The pancakes tasted average and a little hard. Bao'er is very good, not picky or disliked, and now she is hungry and can't care about anything. She was a little embarrassed after eating a piece, but couldn't help but ask, "Old man, is there anything else? I'm still hungry."
The old man is a kind man, and he took out another piece of cake for Baoer.
Bo'er finished eating after a while, and one couldn't hold back and asked for another piece.
Seeing that she quickly killed the three big cakes, the kind old man regretted it. Was this girl kicked out of the house because she ate too much? The old man decided that if Baoer asked again, he would say that the cakes were gone.
These rations were prepared by him for a day's work, and when he gave it to her, he was going to starve.
Bao'er wondered why the old man suddenly looked wary, but she didn't plan to ask for pancakes anymore, because she was thirsty, and the pancakes didn't taste good, so she didn't plan to open her stomach and eat them. She just looked forward to going to a shop that sold food quickly, she bought some tea to drink, and then ordered some delicious dishes.
One old and one small, each with their own thoughts, ran silently in the carriage all the way.
After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at the next city where my uncle sent food. Old Burton felt relieved, and said to Bao'er that he could only send her here. Bo'er nodded, thanked him and jumped out of the car.
The old man looked at her slender back and felt as if he could not help her. She was on the road alone, and she didn't know where she was going, and she didn't know if it would work. The old man wasn't worried enough, but in the blink of an eye, Bo'er disappeared. The old man thought about it for a while, sighed, and regretted that he didn't give her all the pancakes to eat. It was really unkind to do things like this.
The old man jumped out of the car and called for the grain store clerk to carry the grain. After a long time of work, he finally unloaded all the goods. The old man took the money, squatted in a corner of the road, took out his dry food and started eating. After only taking a bite, a crisp voice called out: "Old man, old man, so you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time."
The old man's heart trembled, and when he looked up, it was the little girl who had hitchhiked with him in the morning. Her face was flushed, and she had apparently run a long way. The old man didn't know what was going on, so he quickly stood up.
Baoer searched for a long time to find the old man who delivered the food, and he was very happy. She rushed over with a big oiled paper bag and shoved it into the old man's hand, "Here, roast the chicken. The old man has worked hard, eat more, and don't go hungry."
The old man was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously refused, "No, no, let this girl eat by herself."
"I have it." Bao'er giggled and patted the little bag on the new shoulder. "I still have two, so I won't be hungry. The old man gave it to me, and I have nothing in return. This roast chicken tastes so good, the old man will try it."
And two more
The old man took the refusal hand back. He should eat the chicken. It is really cruel to let this little girl eat three chickens by herself.
Seeing that the old man had accepted it, Bao'er waved his hand happily, "I have to continue on my way. The good-hearted aunt's carriage is waiting for me. I'll go first." After that, he ran away in a hurry.
The old man opened his mouth to call behind her, wanted to tell her to pay attention to safety, don't trust strangers easily, don't get into the car when they said she was sent to her, and the money and money on her body should be carefully guarded, and also, the two roast chickens are really It's a bit too much, take it easy...
I wanted to say too much, and I didn't organize it for a while, and before I said it, Bo'er had already disappeared.
The old man sighed, opened the oil paper bag, and took a bite of the delicious roast chicken. He thought to himself that this little girl didn't know which one belonged.
Bao'er didn't think much more than her uncle. She got into a carriage with an aunt who delivered wine, and followed the aunt to the next city.
This person is full of energy, and Baoer looks at the scenery along the way and is in a good mood.
No wonder elders like to run away from home, it turns out that doing this will make people happy. Bao'er thought, she had only been gone for less than a day, and she felt that all the worries and depressions at home were thrown away from Jiu Xiaoyun.
The world outside is really vast, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It is very beautiful.
The kind aunt told Baoer that they would be able to go to the next city before nightfall, so that Baoer could stay in the inn and have a good rest. There are still some scenery in this city, if she wants to, she can go to play and play. Bo'er nodded vigorously and happily hummed a little song with her aunt.
She thought, when she checked into the inn, she had to calculate how to save money. The second uncle taught her how to use the abacus to study the money carefully, and then she also had to buy a dagger with her, her father and mother. But she has told many stories of the rivers and lakes with her, she knows how to walk in the rivers and lakes to protect herself Bully.
The more she thought about it, the more confident she became, and the tune she hummed became louder.
She is a good child of the Long family. She is talented and candid. It is not difficult to run away from home, la la la~~~
Brother Qingsheng, far away in the sky, she is already a city and a half close to him, I am really happy, la la la~~~
The carriage was slower than the good-hearted aunt said, and it didn't arrive until night.
Baoer got up before dawn to run away from home today, and after a bumpy ride, she was too tired, so she fell asleep on the road. After the aunt patted her awake, she opened her eyes in a daze.
"Here is the place."
Bao'er took a look around while holding the burden. The carriage was parked in an alley. Outside the alley was a bustling street. At this time, the lights were bright, the crowd was full of people, and it was very lively.
The aunt pointed to a door in the alley and said, "Girl, this inn is familiar to me. It's clean and thoughtful, and the food is delicious. The girl is alone, so why don't you just stay here."
Bao'er looked up and saw that the inn was three stories high, with red silk and glazed tiles. Bao'er looked at the street outside, then turned to look at this building, and asked, "Is this the back door?"
The aunt smiled and said, "It's too noisy in the front street. I saw that the girl was so tired that she fell asleep, so I led the girl to the back door. It's quiet. I'll lead the girl in, and no one will disturb her." After she finished speaking, she went Knocked on the door panel.
Bao'er didn't speak, just opened his eyes curiously.
Soon the door opened, and a man who looked like a little 2nd running hall stuck his head out. The aunt nodded and smiled at the man, and said, "Five sons, I will bring a girl to live in the hotel."
The little Er quickly opened the door and greeted warmly, "Please come in."
The aunt turned around and smiled at Bao'er, beckoning. Bo'er walked over and followed behind her aunt into the building.
As the aunt said, the back of this building is indeed quiet. Baoer followed up to the second floor and saw that the two rows of wing rooms were neat and tidy. There were small lanterns hanging at the door, and the names of various flowers were written on the lanterns. I thought that each room was named after flowers.
Bao'er opened her eyes wide and looked curiously, the aunt looked at her and smiled, "Miss, you're tired, I'll be there soon, I'll let them serve her some food when I get to the house. When the girl is full, take a shower and change her clothes."
"Why do you have to take a bath and change your clothes after eating?" Bao'er asked.
The aunt was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: "Aren't you hungry, girl? It's okay to not eat." As she spoke, she walked to a house with "Cuizhu" written on the lantern, opened the door, and let Bao'er go in.
Bao'er shook his head and said, "I want to go to the front hall to have a look."
The aunt was stunned again, and replied, "What's so beautiful in the front hall, the girl is tired, so take a rest earlier."
"It's hard to come here. It's a pity that I haven't seen the front hall. My father won't let me come to this kind of place, and next time I won't have a chance. I'll go to the front hall to have a look, and it's my eyes opened. Learned a lot."
"What did the girl say?" The aunt was confused. This little girl was very smart and normal along the way. Why did she become stupid when she entered the building
Bao'er blinked at her, "Isn't this Hualou?"
