I woke up in a dilapidated temple, I got up dizzy, threw off the broken mat on my body, and began to look around this dilapidated place. Suddenly there was a rustling sound, and I suddenly found a dirty beggar lying next to me. He gave me a very dissatisfied look with his dark eyes, and quickly tore the mat I just opened. to himself.

"You're awake." Liang Yi walked in from the outside with a few steamed buns in his hands.

I ignored him and stared blankly at the dark beggar. Liang Yi sat down beside me, and said casually, "I grabbed this broken mat from him last night." I looked at him blankly when I heard this, and he gave me a blank look, "I'm not afraid that you will freeze to death."

I was still dizzy, and when I heard this, I subconsciously asked him: "How did you snatch it?" He glanced at the beggar with a cold face, and said expressionlessly: "I fought with him."

Liang Yi handed me the steamed bun, and I suddenly jumped up, pointed at his nose and cursed: "It's a shame that I trust you so much, you actually brought me to sleep in a ruined temple!"

Liang Yi also stood up when he heard the words, and yelled at me, "Last night, I dragged you pig around looking for inns, and finally found it. The money on your stupid pig like a pig has been stolen long ago." !"

When I heard the words and touched it, the money bag on my body really disappeared. Liang Yi looked at me with a look of resentment, and stretched out the steamed bun in front of my face, "If you want to eat it or not, I'll give it to him!"

I silently took the steamed bun, took a few mouthfuls, then looked at him pitifully, "I'm thirsty."

The market in Nanyang was also very lively. I obediently followed Liang Yi on the street. Perhaps the sun was shining brightly. Suddenly, I was in a good mood. I went to Liang Yi and said, "There are so many beauties here." As I spoke, I stretched out my finger Pointing to a girl walking towards us, the girl smiled shyly when she saw us, stomped her feet and ran away quickly.

Liang Yi stretched out his hand to grab my bright face, pulled it hard twice, shook his head and said, "Wen Yi, you really did cast the wrong baby." I rubbed my face, shook my head at him and said, "No, Liang Yi, From now on, I want to marry someone, someone who is willing to take me around the rivers and lakes."

Liang Yi glanced at me when he heard the words, "Who are you talking about?" I looked at him in a daze, "I don't know when that person will appear, and I'm not too old, if I really can't wait for him, I'll just wait for him." I can find someone who is willing to travel with me.”

Hearing this, Liang Yi straightened his clothes and muttered: "I don't care about you, anyway, you won't get married in the future, just don't rely on me." I rushed to him and said excitedly and surprised: "How do you know what I said? It's you! Liang Yi, if I can't get married in the future, you... hey, don't run away, what are you doing so fast, I haven't finished talking..." I saw this He shouted and chased after him.

Thinking of me, Wen Yi, a handsome handsome man, with Liang Yi, a passable little follower, so what if I first arrived in Nanyang, so what if my purse was stolen, seeing that we have difficulties, there will always be a group of people Young women are flooded with maternal love.

I put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked gratefully at the old woman in front of me and said, "Thank you for taking us in."

"The houses here are simple and simple, and you don't dislike them. It's not difficult to find a job in Nanyang City. You just live here. When you make money, you can send the old slaves." The old woman has a kind face. , with a gentle tone, I watched her suddenly have a sore nose, and couldn't help but think of my mother-in-law.

Liang Yi frowned, and asked late, "Grandma, did you ever belong to the palace?"

The old lady was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I just left the palace not long ago, and I don't think this title will change for a while." Liang Yi continued to ask: "Then why did you get kicked out of the palace, granny?" He looked at us hesitantly, then waved his hands, "I can't say anything about this, but if I say it, I will be beheaded."

"Mother-in-law, when we first arrived in Nanyang, we depended on you to take us in. If you have any difficulties or want to find someone to talk to, you can tell us, and we promise not to disclose it to others." I persisted He was giving Liang Yi winks, but he kept asking questions, as if he was extremely curious about the affairs in the palace.

She looked up at Liang Yi, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "I have stayed in this palace for forty years, and I have been careful for so many years, and I have never made any mistakes. That Princess Yuning let her go out of the palace to play secretly, but who would have thought that she would never come back after going..."

"The princess of Nanyang is missing and her whereabouts are unknown!" Liang Yi and I looked at each other in surprise. The old woman wiped her tears silently, "The emperor is kind-hearted, and he only ordered the old slave to be expelled from the palace. Now the old slave only wishes for the princess to be safe and return to the palace as soon as possible, and has nothing else to ask for."

Leaving the old woman's house, Liang Yi and I were walking on the street, I turned my head to look at Liang Yi's thoughtful face, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the princess of Nanyang disappeared, and there was no news about it in the palace. Liang Yi nodded upon hearing the words, "I hope Princess Yuning can return to the palace as soon as possible."

"Yo." I glanced at him teasingly, "Liang Yi, I think you care about him, anyway, we came to Nanyang to find someone, why don't we also look for the princess along the way?"

Liang Yi looked at me coldly, "How do I find it?"

"We can ask the old woman about the princess's appearance, what clothes she wears when she leaves the palace, and whether she is accompanied by a personal maid. The old woman must be able to tell a thing or two." I looked at Nanyang Bright weather said leisurely.

Liang Yi was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't think you should think about what you have, we are penniless now, let alone finding someone, supporting ourselves is a problem." After finishing speaking, he walked straight forward , I slandered a few words when I saw this, and followed.

"...You can go to Wenfu to have a look, I heard that they are looking for helpers."

I walked slowly to Liang Yi, and the shopkeeper with the moustache pointed in the direction, then fiddled with his abacus and entered the store.

I snorted, "This little shopkeeper was so courteous to us yesterday, but now he is acting like this, he is extremely vain." Liang Yi glanced at me, "Let's go, go to Wenfu."

"We only hire one helper to take care of the flowers and plants in the backyard." The housekeeper looked at us and said, "If any of you have the confidence to feed the purple roses newly cultivated by Miss, please come in."

I followed Liang Yi into the backyard of Wen Mansion and saw Fuxin's sea of flowers. I was not surprised by the sight in front of me, but the appearance of a hundred flowers blooming and full of vitality still made me feel very comfortable. I patted Liang Yi on the shoulder, and said excitedly, "You have loved flowers and gardens since you were a child, now it will come in handy."

Ever since, Liang Yi stayed in the Wenfu, and I, who knew nothing about planting flowers, was ruthlessly kicked out. When I walked out of the Wenfu, I saw a few servants hurrying out. I was a little curious, so I grabbed one of them and asked, but the person said "Miss is seriously ill" and walked away quickly.

It seems that Ms. Wen, who likes to grow flowers, is not in good health. Although I have never met her, I always think that Ms. Wen is a gentle and kind person. I feel a little regretful when I see the figures of those servants disappearing into the street. .

I was walking alone on the street, and Liang Yi told me not to run around and go back to the old woman's house to wait for him to come back before I left, but I decided to try to find out about Li Sha first. Holding the portrait, I asked everyone I met like a headless chicken. I didn't find a place to sit and rest until I was so thirsty that I couldn't even speak. It was getting dark when I stood up again. I dragged my exhausted body back to the old woman’s house. Liang Yi stood in front of the door and seemed to have been waiting for me for a long time. When he saw me coming back, he frowned and asked, “Where are you going?” Where is it? I came back so late."

I looked at him and said weakly, "I'm going to find Lisha."

"Didn't I tell you to go home and wait until I come back? Where can you find someone who is unfamiliar with you?" Liang Yi looked at me with a slightly angry tone.

"I can't let you take care of everything, I don't want to do anything when I'm free." I shook my hands and didn't want to say any more, and walked into the back room on my own.

I lay down exhausted, obviously exhausted, but I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what. I was lying on my side looking at the moonlight outside the window, and suddenly I heard a familiar little song, and all the bits and pieces of Zai Fuxin appeared in front of my eyes, I wiped my eyes, and two lines of tears flowed without warning down.

Early in the morning, I was woken up by Liang Yi to have breakfast, I was gnawing on a steamed bun in silence, Liang Yi suddenly raised his head and said to me: "Wen Yi, follow me to Wen's house today."

In short, in the end, I still followed Liang Yi, and also today, I met Wen Ruojing, the young lady of Wenfu. I was sitting on the side with a piece of dogtail grass in my mouth. Miss Wen, who was seriously ill yesterday, seemed to be doing well today. She and Liang Yi watered the flowers and chatted together. The two of them seemed very speculative. I sat in Wenfu all morning with nothing to do, and finally waited until it was time for dinner, but that boy Liang Yi rejected Miss Wen's invitation and dragged me away.

"Liang Yi, why are we going?" I shook off his hand and asked, covering my stomach that I had been protesting for a long time. Liang Yi glanced at me, and said as a matter of course, "Of course I'm looking for someone."

"But, but we have to fill our stomachs before we have the strength to find someone." I followed behind him and said dissatisfied. Liang Yi said without looking back: "I'll eat it later." I looked at my stomach in despair after hearing what I said, and followed up with all my energy.
