Dream Breaks One Day - C151
In the past, Yun Duan only knew that Zhuang Li was probably weirder than the girls who lived in the palace like the girls she saw in her previous life. After all, she always talked about weird things.
Now that he had been sent by the emperor to follow Zhuang Li around the entire time, he finally understood that this fellow was truly a crazy girl. Let alone the fact that she was from the palace, even the ladies of ordinary people would not be as easy to deal with. Ever since he had roasted rabbits on the mountain that day, he realized that as long as Yun Duan was by his side, no one would bother him. Now, not only did he not feel that Yun Duan was a troublesome follower, he also felt that was a treasure. No matter where he went, he seemed to be afraid that Yun Duan would disappear.
This made Yun Duan want to hide instead … At least hide…
Furthermore, Yun Duan realized that he couldn’t do anything against women. No matter what Zhuang Li wanted to do, he couldn’t stop him.
Therefore, he could only accompany Zhuang Li shopping, and enter those jewelry stores that he couldn’t understand at all. He had entered the city today without any exceptions, so he had resigned himself to his fate and decided to hang around with this crazy girl for the whole day.
“Qing You, do you know where Xiao Bai’s family is?”
Qing You shook her head and could only sigh.
She knew that Li Liangxiao was currently living in the capital with the Uncle Zheng, but she didn’t know where she should go to find them. But the western part of the city is also very big …
The colorful shops did not want to enter anymore. Zhuang Li was not a stubborn woman with a strong desire to shop. Her previous excitement was only because she had been locked up in the palace for too long. She had a woman’s heart and love for the different little worlds outside.
Now that he was living his freedom, how could he care about those things? But if she did not come out and only stayed in the palace, she would probably have to spend an entire day thinking about what Wang Su was doing now …
So he could only go out for a walk, which was much better than being cooped up in his bedroom.
In the middle of September, the weather had already turned a bit cold. Although the sun was still high in the sky during the day, a cool breeze blew at night. If one didn’t close the window, they would feel especially cold.
Qing You had already prepared two layers of slightly thicker clothes for her.
He wandered around the West City for a long time, not knowing where his destination was. The three of them were already very hungry, so they found a noodle shop and sat down.
A hot bowl of beef noodles enticed Zhuang Li greatly, she was already hungry to begin with, but after smelling the taste of the food, she couldn’t wait to drool.
“Look at you, how do you look like a girl …” Yun Duan was slightly displeased when he heard this sentence. But how was she someone who would yield? He quickly restrained his displeasure.
“Do I look like a boy to you?” Her extremely gentle and beautiful words made she wrap her arms around Yun Duan’s shoulders in an extremely pretentious manner.
They could even feel that the surrounding men were paying attention to them, and started to praise Zhuang Li’s appearance.
It was a pity that even though Yun Duan had trained to the point of spasming his brain, he did not move an inch. He looked around and saw a child in the corner who looked like a beggar.
“It’s like him …”
Say I’m like a beggar… He did not know when Yun Duan, a person who only knew martial arts manuals, had learnt to be so eloquent …
Zhuang Li was displeased in her heart and she was too lazy to care about him for a while. Seeing the child that Yun Duan was talking about still standing there pitifully, her heart couldn’t help but soften as she reached out to call the child over.
“Are you hungry?” What do you want to eat? Just do it! “He pays ~”
The child’s eyes were small and he didn’t look very smart, but he still thanked her obediently. Qing You started to ask.
“Do you have a home? Where are your parents? Do you have brothers and sisters? What’s his name? ” Crack! Crack! Crack! He asked a bunch of questions, but the child didn’t say anything else. He just buried his head and began to eat.
Although his face wasn’t clean, his clothes weren’t shabby, and even looked a bit new. At first glance, he looked like a beggar, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be someone’s child.
But no matter how Qing You tried to coax her, the child just kept his head down and ate his food, not bothering to raise his head again.
Qing You naturally gave up, and started to talk about other things with Zhuang Li.
As they spoke, they continued to talk about their purpose of wandering around the western part of the city for the better part of a day.
“I wonder how my Little Flower is doing …” Qing You muttered, he was still thinking about the huge rabbit that he gave to Little White, the one that was already so fat that it could be used as a dish.
When Li Liangxiao was mentioned, he naturally missed it dearly as well. He did not know what kind of situation he was facing right now, nor did he know if there was any danger.
“If Lil ‘White dares to be bad to my Flower, it would be strange if I don’t hack him …”
“Can you hit him?” Zhuang Li imagined Qing You running down the street after Little White, but unfortunately, she could not catch up with it at all.
“If I can’t beat him, then I’ll ask Li Liangxiao to help. I’m afraid I can’t take care of that little kid? ”
Zhuang Li shook her head. She was too naive, if Little Flower was eaten, there would still be Li Liangxiao’s portion.
The child who had been eating the noodles silently seemed to have a reaction to these two names. He raised his head and stared at Qing You.
“Big Brother Xiaobai is raising Little Flower …”
Zhuang Li was stunned at first, then the three of them stared at the child.
“You know Xiaobai?” You know Little Flower? You know Li Liangxiao? ”
The child immediately stopped eating his noodles and pushed the bowl away in front of him. He stood up and pulled Zhuang Li away.
Zhuang Li had heard Li Liangxiao mention it before, he bought a house at the side of the city, the Uncle Zheng also lived there and adopted many children. She just didn’t expect this kid to be one of them. However, his brain didn’t seem to be too good. She would always run outside and make herself look dirty.
The three were naturally happy to discover that the child actually knew where Li Liangxiao lived. Yun Duan also let out a long sigh. At least he didn’t have to follow Zhuang Li around the entire world aimlessly anymore.
However, what they did not expect was that Li Liangxiao’s family was actually so far away … He made them walk for a full hour.
The street was not very lively, but it was exceptionally quiet. It was a very neat courtyard with a few bamboos planted at the entrance. Zhuang Li was originally a little awkward standing at the door, but she was dragged inside by the child as if there was a hand pulling at the wind.
There were two or three children playing in the yard, competing for a ball made of bamboo.
How could he still remember about Zhuang Li’s situation? After putting down Zhuang Li’s hand, he ran over to the boys, but those boys instead noticed Zhuang Li and the other two, and stopped playing around to ask.
Just when Zhuang Li wanted to say that we were Li Liangxiao’s friends and came over to see the Uncle Zheng, she suddenly saw the figure of an old uncle walking out from the house.
For a moment, Zhuang Li felt that her nose was sore, but Qing You was already crying.
That old man naturally saw Zhuang Li as well. He already had a lot of white hair, but he walked very quickly and his body looked pretty good. He was much better than Prime Minister Zhao, who was the same age as him.
“Miss, who are you looking for?”
Uncle Zheng asked, his tone exceptionally amiable.
Then, he clearly saw Zhuang Li’s appearance. He suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something from a long time ago. Zhuang Li knew that he was also treating her as Zhao Ci’s mother. She had heard him mention her before, but she was not a bad person.
“Uncle Zheng, I am Zhao Ci.”
Then the old man’s eyes suddenly turned red.
“Miss?”
Yun Duan was too lazy to get involved with things that were girls and girls, and it seemed like they wanted to show that he was a man who went to the courtyard to play with those kids. Those kids all knew some skills, and all of them had learned them from Li Liangxiao, but how could they compare to Yun Duan?
Moreover, at times, Yun Duan’s mentality was no different from a half-grown child.
As for Zhuang Li, who was brought into the room by the old man, she suddenly felt a feeling as if she was seeing her father.
“The filial piety told me that I met Miss in the palace. At first I didn’t believe it. He was always worried that he might have made a mistake … Only now did he know that his young mistress looked exactly like his wife all those years ago …
Good filial piety is a good child, good heart, I began to take these children, he always helped me to do it. In any case, we were doing very well. “It is just that young mistress, the palace is too deep, it is not the best choice …”
Zhuang Li naturally knew that the Uncle Zheng was doing this for his own good. However, he couldn’t choose to do many things on his own, not to mention how much she loved the man on the throne.
Sometimes life is strange. In the past, when Uncle Zheng and Prime Minister Zhao went to the capital to take their exams together, Prime Minister Zhao was the star of the high school, but when the Uncle Zheng met with the death of his parents, he did not have the heart to rely on them anymore. In order to earn a living, he worked as a groom for dozens of years at the Prime Minister Zhao’s house, doing the most dirty jobs, and in the end, was even arranged to send a lady who he despised to her hometown. She understood his meaning very well. Once she returned to her hometown, she wouldn’t be able to come back …
After walking around in a circle, he finally returned to the capital. Although it was not as extravagant as Prime Minister Zhao’s, it was much healthier. Every day, when he slept, he would feel at ease. There was no need to be worried about imperial court anymore. It was as if he was treading on thin ice …
He did not have that many calculations and wealth, but he had obtained even more peace and kinship. Although the Prime Minister Zhao had many wives and many children, who could compare to the affection between and the Uncle Zheng?
Maybe life is like a play, but I don’t know what will happen when I sing it to the end.
