C9 There Was a Beauty in the Water!

Lin Xuemei and Su Qi left unwillingly.

The old lady pulled Su Yueru and sat beside her. She looked left and right. There was only a silver hairpin on her hair bun, and a silver bracelet on her neck. There was no carving of any color, and it was obvious that it was not worth much.

The clothes she was wearing did not seem to be very new, and the injury on her forehead was even more terrifying.

"Poor child, you must have suffered."

The old lady reached out to touch Su Yueru's hair, and her eyes revealed genuine feelings.

Su Yueru was moved, and her eyes immediately reddened. The old lady reminded her of her own grandmother.

Biting her lips, she inadvertently showed some genuine feelings. She shook her head slightly. In the eyes of the old lady, it was another kind of sensible behavior.

She patted Su Yueru's hand and put a high-quality red-gold jade bracelet on Su Yueru's wrist.

In general, the people of the rich families would have a bracelet on their left and right hands. Usually, the right hand would be worn by themselves, and the left hand would be given to others as a reward.

Su Yueru looked carefully. The old lady had slipped the bracelet from her right hand and put it on her wrist.

"You have given Grandmother such a big gift, I can't let you suffer."

Su Yueru lowered her eyebrows with some guilt. This thing was really just mud. However, after her craftsmanship, she was still afraid that the old lady would see through it, so she deliberately made it up.

However, Lin Xuemei deserved her punishment. If she did not come to complain, she could have perfected the statue even more. At that time, the old lady would not be able to see any flaws.

"It's a pity that the Buddha statue is already broken. However, I heard that the ancient Master Source's handwritten 'Pano Heart Sutra' has been circulating in Luoyang City recently. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, I will think of a way to get it for you."

This time, she had an excuse to go out and have fun.

She had been here for so long, but she still did not know what the outside world looked like.

"You are quite thoughtful. If you don't have enough money, tell Grandmother that Bi Chun, go and bring me my jade white jade earrings."

"Hey, this servant will go now."

Su Yueru immediately revealed a look of being overwhelmed by the favor. She did not spend a single cent, but earned a lot.

She quickly thanked the old lady and chatted with the old lady for a while. Only when the old lady was tired did she let Su Yueru lead Yanzhi and leave.

The old nanny standing behind the old lady watched Su Yueru leave for a long time.

"Do you also feel that she is different today?"

"This old servant feels that the young lady today is simply like a different person. Just now, Bi Qiu also told this old servant that the matter that happened in the young lady's courtyard yesterday was not mentioned by the young lady at all."

That old servant had served the old lady for many years, so he naturally understood the old lady's thoughts the most.

"One young lady's monthly allowance is only two taels of silver, and even the monthly salary of a maidservant is not even comparable to that. This Mrs. Tian is really too much."

Aunt Lan lowered her eyebrows and stood behind the old lady, muttering.

"Maybe the young lady has opened her eyes."

...

After leaving the old lady's courtyard, Su Yueru pulled the bandage on her head, pulled the hand of Shui Fen, and bandaged it for her.

"I've made you suffer today."

"This is what this servant should do. This servant understands the meaning of the young lady, and this servant also understands that only if the young lady is well, then this servant can bask in the light."

Su Yueru smiled, she was a smart girl.

Almost overnight, Su Yueru changed her clothes and took the old lady's card, and happily ran out of the residence with the excuse of finding Master Source's copy of the Bo Nuo Heart Sutra.

She thought that it would be very difficult to leave the residence.

Standing on the street, she was still a little flustered. The bluestone road was lined with hawkers on both sides. Some were selling candied fruits, some were selling clay figurines, some were selling painting candies, some were buying rouge and cosmetic powder, and so on.

It was like a market.

"What day is it today? It's so lively."

"Miss, today is the first day of the fifteenth of the first month, so it's especially lively."

Because Shui Fen's hand was injured, Su Yueru didn't bring her along no matter what.

She only brought Shui Fen, who was usually lively, with her.

Su Yueru had never seen such a lively market before. She pulled Shui Fen and went into the crowd.

She was like a granny entering a mansion. Everything she saw was new and strange. When she turned her head, she couldn't see anyone.

She held a sugarman in her hand, wanting it, but she didn't have any silver in her pocket. Just now, she had stuffed all the silver into Shui Fen's purse.

"Miss, are you buying or not? If not, just leave it."

Su Yueru glanced at the vendor.

If she didn't have any silver, how could she buy it?

Suddenly, she smiled naughtily and quickly licked the sugarman, then quickly put it down. "No!" Then she ran away.

In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared.

The vendor who sold the sugarman was sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him. He cursed and looked around. After confirming that no one had noticed him, he brushed the sugarman with a layer of sugar and put it back.

As for Su Yueru, while running, she searched for Shui Fen. Then, as she ran, she realized that there were fewer and fewer people. There was nothing fun to play with. More importantly, she didn't know the way.

There were no signs on the road here. She was also a person who could not distinguish the east, south, west, and north. It was destined that she would get lost.

The sky gradually darkened. Su Yueru was so hungry that her back was against her chest. She wanted to learn how to be a lost child and squat at the intersection, waiting for Shui Fen to come and find her. However, in this ancient era where communication was mostly based on shouting, she didn't even know where she was. Could Shui Fen really find her?

Suddenly hearing the sound of water, she looked towards a small forest not far away. She was sure that there must be water behind the forest. If there was water, then there should be fish. In this undeveloped era, water was usually drinkable.

She quickly ran over. The forest was not big, and she crossed it in a hundred steps. After crossing the forest, she saw a small river.

Su Yueru cheered and ran over. She dived into the water and hurriedly took two gulps of water before feeling slightly thirsty.

Suddenly, she saw neatly arranged clothes on the side. Su Yueru picked up one of them with the tree branch.

"Hey, who is this? He threw himself into the river and even took off his clothes. What a joke …"

Before she could finish, there was a splash in the water. A person appeared and flung his long black hair, splashing water on Su Yueru's face.

Although the person had his back to her, it was not hard to tell that he was a man. His broad shoulders, bronze skin, and the scars and scabs on his body. This guy must have been abused.
