Song Xiaobei hadn't exercised for a long time. After she woke up, she decided to go to the backyard to exercise. She happened to see Xiao Liang and Peng Yi practicing.
"Good morning! You guys are super awesome!" Song Xiaobei was stunned by his powerful moves and praised him from the bottom of her heart.
"Hello, Miss Xiaobei! Take your time. We'll be leaving first." Xiao Liang said. They guessed that their master had woken up.
Song Xiaobei swung her fist and raised her leg…
"What martial arts do you practice? I'll play with you." Xiao Liang didn't leave. He watched for a while and couldn't help but walk forward.
"Taekwondo is to strengthen the body and prevent perverts.”Song Xiaobei answered his questions while sparring with him.
"Pervert? What is it?"
"I'll explain when I have time."
For a moment, Song Xiaobei did not lose. Xiao Liang didn't use his real skills, and Song Xiaobei wasn't weak either. The two of them fought hard and had a lot of fun.
"What are you guys doing?" A voice came from behind them.
The two of them stopped.
"Xiao Liang, thank you for playing with me. It had been a long time since he exercised. It felt so comfortable.”Song Xiaobei turned her head and smiled.”
Her face was red and her pink lips were moist and shiny. There was some sweat on her face and neck. She was full of vitality and energy.
"Xiaobei, go wash up and wait for you to eat.”Gao Xili took out a handkerchief for her and said.
"Thanks." She took it and wiped her sweat as she walked. His words were gentle. The cold-faced prince? It was just a rumor.
"Master, according to this subordinate's observation, Miss Xiaobei does not have any internal energy, and ordinary people cannot get close to her.”Xiao Liang reported the results.
When Song Xiaobei arrived at the dining table, everyone was already waiting.
"I'm sorry for making everyone wait. Hurry up and eat, you're all hungry.”Song Xiaobei said apologetically and changed the topic, expressing her admiration for their skills.
Everyone laughed and laughed as they ate.
"Miss Xiaobei, what are you talking about? What's the use?" Xiao Liang had forgotten about Taekwondo.
"Taekwondo is to strengthen the body and prevent perverts. Aren't you going to ask what a pervert is? Now, let me tell you." Song Xiaobei turned her head and smiled.”He stared at Gao Xili with a lecherous expression, his fingers gently supporting his chin, and said with a smirk,""Girl, smile for me, come, let me kiss you.”Their faces were getting closer and closer, and there was only a small distance between their lips.
Everyone was looking forward to the exciting scene.
Song Xiaobei returned to her normal self and said," This is a pervert. The performance is over. Let's eat."”
Everyone lowered their heads and held back their laughter as they dug into their bowls. Song Xiaobei didn't know that a certain someone was still looking forward to this kiss.
"Dear, why are you following me?" After dinner, Song Xiaobei was about to go back to her room to clean up when she saw Gao Xili behind her.
"Comb your hair."
"Alright!" Song Xiaobei liked the feeling of being pampered.
Gao Xili combed her hair gently. He couldn't bear to let go of her shiny black hair.
"You changed your hairstyle again. Dear, what do you know?" Song Xiaobei touched it and felt that it was different from last time.
"Saber, spear, sword, halberd, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting."
"Then what can't? Ah…I know. I can't have children. Sigh, what a cold joke." Song Xiaobei mocked herself. At this moment, she thought of her sister. Her eyes were a little red and her expression was a little sad.
"Xiaobei, what's wrong?" Gao Xili saw the change in her mood.
"I miss my sister. Her name is Xia Yan 'er. In modern times, she also dotes on me like this. I wonder how she's doing since I came here.”Song Xiaobei said.
"Xiaobei, you're a good girl. I believe your sister is a good person too. Good people will be rewarded, and she will definitely be blessed by the heavens.”Gao Xili wished he could comfort the person in front of him.
"Dear, thank you." Song Xiaobei smiled faintly. Gao Xili's words indeed made her feel a lot more at ease. After packing up, the two of them went out.
Song Xiaobei sat on the horse's back and relearned.
"My name is Xia Yan 'er. What's your name?”Gao Xili asked. He wanted to know Song Xiaobei's real name.
"My real name represents modern times. I'm Song Xiaobei, and this name was given by Bao 'er.”
Bao 'er is very smart and cute."
"Do you have children? I can tell him stories and teach him to sing.”
"I'm not married yet."
"So you're a diamond bachelor."
"What do you mean?"
"Rich, handsome, single, the marriage partner that every girl dreams of. Don't worry, she must be waiting for you somewhere.”
"Are you married in modern times?"
"Where I come from, children start school at around six or seven years old. They spend six years in primary school and six years in middle school. They reach eighteen or nineteen years old. Then, they go to university for four years. I went to school when I was six years old. Not long ago, I left school and just started working. I don't even have a boyfriend. I'm an innocent and beautiful girl.”
"Boyfriend?"
"We're free to fall in love and find our other half ourselves. When the two of us get along, we'll be boyfriend and girlfriend. If we're suitable, we'll become husband and wife. If we're not, we'll break up.”
"Parents don't care?"
"We respect our parents and use their words as a reference. You basically make your own decisions."
"Women work too?"
"Women can hold up half the sky. We rely on labor to support ourselves, and there are many strong women. When a woman was rich, she would produce a "prostitute".”
"Ducks?"
" Brothel women serve men, and we call them 'chickens'. On the other hand, men provide special services for women, which we call "ducks". However, China did not allow the existence of chickens and ducks, so their identities could not be exposed.”
Gao Xili was silent.
"Why, depressed? Alright, the conversation was over. Now that you're reading, don't forget the few words you've learned.”Song Xiaobei looked at the words and read slowly. She felt her tone pause. Sometimes when she made mistakes, Gao Xili would help her correct them. Some uncommon words were replaced by homonyms.
Along the way, she told Gao Xili about the history of China or her own interesting stories. Among the guards, Xiao Liang was the closest to her. The others were afraid of their lord and did not dare to get too close to Song Xiaobei.
Time passed in a flash. They were almost in the capital. She was a little reluctant to part with them and felt a little emotional.
"Eh, what happened?" Song Xiaobei saw a large group of people in the distance. Everyone quickened their pace and joined the crowd.
"Big sister, what happened?" Song Xiaobei asked a woman beside her.
The woman saw that it was a beautiful girl and a handsome man accompanying her. Being in such close contact with such a handsome man made her very happy. She explained the situation enthusiastically, The person being watched was called Hong Feng. He was 40 years old and was a well-known philanthropist. More than ten years ago, he married a wife and gave birth to four daughters. His wife had once asked him to take in a concubine, but he had been rejected. He didn't expect that Madam would give birth to twins for him this time. Today was just the day the child was one month old, so he invited the entire village for a meal.
Everyone heard Hong Feng's sonorous voice.""Today, I thank the heavens and everyone. The family gave the child several names, but I was not satisfied. I want to borrow your good words to get a good name and bless my son.”
"Then give me a hint." someone shouted.
"That day, when my wife went to bed, her stomach was uncomfortable. She tossed and turned for the whole night, but she didn't give birth. The doctor said that the mother and son's lives were in danger. Unexpectedly, when the sun rose, the child was successfully born, and both mother and son were safe.”
" Hong Dafu,"" Hong Dagui,"" Hong Liming,"" Hong Chaoyang,"" Hong Rui,"" Hong Zhi," and so on. Everyone was talking at once, but Hong Feng was not satisfied.
Song Xiaobei blurted out," Hong Yang's grace is East, Hong Yang's grace is East. The rising sun is the meaning of grace in the East.”
Hong Feng walked up to Song Xiaobei and bowed.""Thank you for giving me a name, my wife's family name is Yang.”He took the tray from the servant and placed it in front of Song Xiaobei.""This is a thank you gift for Miss."
At this moment, he heard someone in the crowd discussing,""What a big deal. Two hundred taels.”，" The Hong family has so much money that it's uncountable. It won't be used up in the next life…"
Song Xiaobei had never seen a real silver ingot before. She picked it up and admired it for a moment before putting it back on the tray to feast her eyes. It was enough. She smiled and said," I don't need this silver. Honorable Hong, use it to do good. It can help many people."”
At this moment, two people stood up and walked out of the crowd. Song Xiaobei saw that they were sitting on a large stone ball and quickly reminded Hong Feng,""This thing is too dangerous.”
Hong Feng smiled and explained," I thank everyone once again. I would like to ask all of you to move this stone ball to the entrance of the ancestral hall on the east side with your own strength. You can use any tools. I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver."”
The crowd was in an uproar.
This stone ball was made from a large piece of stone that was left behind when Hong Feng built the fake mountain. After the rockery was built, Hong Feng had a sudden idea when he learned that his wife was pregnant. He asked the stonemason to polish it very smoothly and had only completed it not long ago.
A few burly men walked forward.
One of them grabbed the stone ball tightly with both hands and tried to pick it up. His veins were bulging, but he failed.
Someone poked him with a stick or something, and he almost fell. Someone tried to push it with their hands, but it didn't work. Because the stone ball was too big and too smooth.
"Let me try." Song Xiaobei saw a few thick bamboo poles by the wall. She remembered what Archmedes had said,"Give me a pivot, and I'll tilt the earth."
Song Xiaobei asked Xiao Ming to sharpen one end of the bamboo before extending it to the bottom of the stone ball and placing a suitable stone on it. She pressed down on the other end with all her might, and the stone ball slowly rolled.
Everyone was stunned and deeply shocked. The guards saw the brawny man's performance and were not completely confident.
Blessing is the place where disaster lurks, and disaster is the place where blessing depends. Gao Xili thanked " him " for the first time. He was glad that he had met such an intelligent woman.
Song Xiaobei moved the "baby" to the designated position bit by bit, and she was also sweating profusely.
"Miss, why is this?" someone asked.
" This is the lever principle. Many things like fire tongs and scissors in life use the lever principle…" Song Xiaobei explained as she drew on the ground, but she did not know how many people understood.
Hong Feng was sure that he had met a benefactor. He quickly got someone to prepare a bath and helped the girl bathe. Gao Xili and the others received the courtesy of distinguished guests.
After Song Xiaobei washed up, Hong Feng respectfully brought the thousand taels of silver that he had prepared to the noble. She politely declined.
"Xiaobei, take it. You have taught us a wonderful lesson.”Gao Xili voiced everyone's thoughts.
"Then I'll thank you, but this silver is too heavy.”Song Xiaobei was a little worried.
Xiao Ming immediately took the silver and exchanged it for a thousand taels of silver. Song Xiaobei accepted it happily.
"This is a congratulatory gift for the child." Gao Xili placed the four hundred silver notes on the tray. Hong Feng was extremely excited.
Everyone wanted to hurry on their way, so they bid farewell to the good person. Hong Feng ordered people to prepare a lot of food for them to bring.
Song Xiaobei had never seen a banknote before, so she kept looking at it on horseback.
"Sister, I have money now." Song Xiaobei shouted at the sky.
"You have a sister?" Xiao Liang asked.
"Yes, she is so beautiful that she can topple a country. If she claims to be second in our country, no one would dare to claim to be first.”
"Where are my parents?"
"Look at me from the sky."
"I'm sorry, Xiao Liang shouldn't have asked."
"It's okay. Mom and Dad are always in my heart.”
In fifteen days, they traveled from the village to the capital, Dan Yang. It was indeed different under Tian Zi's feet. It was still bustling at night.
"Dear, thank you for taking care of me. This is for the accommodation, meals, and clothes. See you again!" Song Xiaobei handed the banknote to Gao Xili.
"This is how you repay me for saving your life?”Gao Xili did not accept it.
"That's for Big Brother." Gao Xili still refused.
Song Xiaobei knew that the Prince's mansion did not lack money, so she did not insist.
"Xiaobei, what are your plans?"
"I'll find a job first. When big brother and the others come, we'll open the shop together.”
"How about this? It's already dark, and it's not safe. Xiaobei might as well go to the Prince's mansion to rest first, and then slowly consider other things.”
"I'm not going. There were many rules in the Imperial Palace and the Prince's Mansion. If one day they ran into a gun, they wouldn't even know how they died.”
"There's no one else in the Imperial Residence. Other than me and these brothers, there are also some servants.”
"Then follow my three rules: I won't enter the palace, I won't be bound by etiquette, and I need freedom.”
"Alright, whatever you want.”
"Alright, I haven't seen the Imperial Residence yet."
The group of people came to Prince Mai's residence while chatting and laughing.
