Chapter 43 Divide the stolen goods on the street
He looked at Nangong Yu getting farther and farther, but Ruoxue still didn't understand what he meant. I couldn't help shouting vigorously there, "Nan Gongyu, Nangong Yu, what do you mean?" Nangong Yu ignored her and went straight into the general's mansion.
Ruoxue had no choice but to look back at the girl who looked smaller than her and said, "Your name is Lotus?"
"Yes, Miss Ruoxue." The lotus replied softly, respectful and not rude, but not humble.
"Lotus, you see, I can't support myself. I really can't take you with me. You'd better go back to the general's mansion and don't suffer with me.
The lotus shook her head with a smile, "The general asked the lotus to serve the lady, then the lotus is the lady's person. No matter where the lady goes, the lotus will follow."
Ruoxue struggled and failed to make the lotus change her mind. She went back to the general's mansion. She had no choice but to change her strategy and pretended to be angry and ignored her or talk to her.
Lotus doesn't care what Ruo Xue said. She only said that the general gave her to Ruo Xue, which is Ruo Xue's person. Later, when she saw Ruoxue pouted angrily and muttered "stinky Nangong Yu is not a good person" and so on, she suddenly walked to Ruoxue and knelt down slowly, and shocked Ruo Xue.
"Lotus! Get up, get up! What are you doing on your knees? Get up quickly!" Ruoxue was shocked and quickly reached out to pull the lotus. Unexpectedly, the girl was not strong but not small. She insisted on kneeling there and couldn't pull it up. Ruoxue was anxious, "Lotus, get up quickly! How can I stand it like this? Do you want me to kneel here with you?" With that, he was about to kneel down opposite the lotus.
Seeing this, the lotus didn't dare to let Ruo Xue kneel down for herself. She quickly got up and stopped Ruo Xue's tendency to kneel down. She looked at Ruo Xue's eyes and whispered, "Why didn't you ask what the lotus was from, but reject the lotus?"
Origin? Ruo Xue was stunned for a moment. She didn't want to really accept the lotus and let the lotus serve her. She asked so many questions about what to do. Besides, for this world, she is a person of unknown origin. How can she ask other people's origin?
Ruoxue came to her senses and smiled: "Is it important what is the origin? Lotus, listen to me and go back to the general's mansion. I have something else to do, so I'll go first. See you later." In fact, this sentence doesn't seem to say so, does it? Ruoxue thought to herself in her heart. Remember to listen to Xianjun tell the story of the world. There will be a word when saying goodbye in the world. What is it?
"Miss, after listening to the lotus, you are deciding whether to bring the lotus or not, okay?" The lotus said to Ruoxue's back in a hurry. Seeing that Ruoxue was unmoved, she added, "Miss, you don't want the lotus. You can't go back to the general's mansion. Please help me!"
Hearing this, Ruoxue's footsteps stopped, and she couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Why can't you live when you go back to the general's mansion? Is it Nangong Yu who wants to kill you?" With a trace of anger in his words, he is a general, but he can't care about people's lives like this, can he?
Lotus shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Miss, you don't know that Lotus is a miserable person. My hometown was flooded, so I went to other cities with my parents to invest in my relatives. Unexpectedly, my parents got sick and both died on the way. Lotus is alone and helpless and exiled to a foreign country. The house leaked in the rain all night, and the little money left on his body after burying his parents was also stolen. He had no way out and was ready to throw himself into the lake.
If Xueming knew that the lotus was standing here alive now, she must not have succeeded in suicide, but she couldn't help shouting "Ah", and then woke up. She took the lotus's hand and said, "The lotus flower, it's really hard for you. You must think about it when things happen in the future! Just like me, how optimistic? Hee hee..."
Ruoxue's personality is optimistic. For a big deal, she can also forget to go to Java in a blink of an eye. She looks like she has no heart.
Lotus looked down at Ruo Xue holding her hand and nodded, "I know, miss."
"What happened later? Is it the Nangongyu guy who saved you? Ruoxue asked, but she still muttered to herself, since she would save the lotus at the beginning, how could she kill her now because she didn't let her follow?
The lotus nodded and said, "Yes, it was the general who passed by and saved the lotus and sent it to the general's palace. However, the general refused to let the lotus serve, and there was no hostess in the general's mansion, so it was inconvenient for the lotus to stay in the general's mansion. The general also wanted to send the lotus away several times, but the lotus had not yet rerated the general for saving his life. How could he leave like that? Now, the general asked the lotus to serve the lady. The lotus can only repay the general in case.
"Then he treats you well. He shouldn't kill you, right?" Ruoxue is confused.
The lotus shook her head, but she looked more solemn. "Miss, if you can't follow the young lady, the lotus will have to repay you with death."
"Ah!" Ruoxue was shocked, "Don't talk nonsense!" But looking at the lotus flower's little face with a serious look, it doesn't seem to be a joke. Ruo Xue said anxiously, "Huahua, don't do stupid things. If you don't follow me, there are other ways to repay Nangong Yu. Besides, let's talk..." Ruo Xue couldn't find a word for a moment, and she kept saying it again.
"Miss, please let the lotus follow you, okay?" The lotus took Ruoxue's hand and swayed coquettishly.
"But," Ruoxue hesitated, then stamped her foot and said bluntly, "It's not that I won't take you with me. It's true that I'm separated from my friends now and I'm penniless!" With that, he blushed and whispered, "I can't even support myself..." But I thought to him bitterly: You dead dragon, you can leave, but leave me a little money! Do you want me to drink the northwest wind to live?
"Miss, there is silver in the lotus flower." With that, he took out the silver from his purse and handed it to Ruoxue and said, "Before the lotus went out, the general took the lotus for the lotus, and there were silver tickets." He reached out to get the silver ticket in his arms.
"Don't!" Ruoxue hurriedly pushed it back, "That's your money, not mine."
"The lotus flowers are all the lady's people, and of course the silver is also the lady's." The lotus purse smiled. After thinking about it, she hung the purse back on her body, took out the silver ticket and gave it to Ruo Xue, and said, "These broken silver lotus flowers are collected by the young lady, and the silver ticket is collected by the young lady."
If Xue refuses in every way, the lotus just refuses. The two stood not far away from the general's mansion, pulling back and forth like a share of stolen goods, pushing each other, and split the silver tickets.
Everything has been solved. Ruoxue happily pulled the lotus and said, "Lotus, this is my first time in Kyoto. Do you know where there is something fun and delicious? There were a lot on that street just now, but now I can't find that street.
"Miss, don't worry, Lotus will help you find that street together. What are the characteristics of that street? Although there are not many places to go, it also knows the streets of Kyoto.
Ruoxue tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "There are a lot of people who set up stalls. There are delicious food, fun, cloth, porcelain and so on."
"Miss, think about it again, is there anything special?" Most of the bustling streets in Kyoto are like this, except for those relatively remote alleys.
Special? Ruoxue continued to think, "There is a restaurant on the head of the street... But I forgot what the name is."
"..." The lotus is speechless. Isn't there no difference between saying it and not saying it? Unknown restaurant, there must be a few restaurants on that street.
Ruoxue looked at the lotus and said weakly, "Am I too stupid? I don't know anything."
The lotus hurriedly smiled and said, "Where is it? It's not Miss Ben, it's because the young lady has just come to Kyoto and is not familiar with it. When the young lady lives in Kyoto for a while, she will be familiar with it. When Hehua lived in the general's mansion, she often heard the bodyguards talk about the prosperity of Kyoto and knew a lot of places.
"General's Mansion?" Ruoxue repeated in a low voice. Just as the lotus thought she was a little unhappy to hear that she mentioned the general's mansion, Ruoxue suddenly shouted, "I remember that I was playing in the street when I met Nangong Yu riding by, and then he couldn't help being taken outside the general's mansion."
Lotus said happily, "When I met the general back home, the scope was much narrowed, and I rode a horse back... Miss, Lotus knows which street Miss just said!"
"Really?" Ruoxue looked at the lotus in surprise. Maybe when she went back there, she would see the dark dragon. Did he think he was naughty and running to play and looking for himself? However, he absolutely didn't expect that he went out by himself and "abducted" a maid back! Thinking of this, Ruoxue is full of pride, as if she saw the dark dragon's eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't think that the dark dragon could not change his face in the face of anything. How could he be so surprised because of this?
"Bounce me, Lotus!" Ruoxue urged anxiously, and then said a little flatteringly, "The lotus is the best, isn't it?" From the bottom of her heart, she didn't really mistook the lotus as a maid, but as a friend.
Lotus led the anxious Ruoxue and walked for a long time to reach the street, but it was almost evening, and every family lit a lantern, which was hazy, which was a little different from the lively scene during the day. Ruoxue looked at it for a while before she was sure that she really met the street of Nangong Yu, but where is the shadow of the dark dragon?
As a last resort, Ruoxue asked the people who set up stalls, but still got nothing. Ruoxue really doesn't want to give up, but Lotus said that the young lady is not safe. The most important thing to do now is to find an inn to stay and come back to find friends tomorrow. Ruoxue thought for a moment and felt that what she said was very reasonable. Both of them were weak women. In case of meeting a bad person, it would be miserable, so she had to find an inn nearby to rest.
Dark Dragon, where did it go? He is now quietly lurking somewhere, quietly observing. Waiting.
