Ma Qingyi looked at him a little uncomfortably. "You... I'm not used to this. Don't say such things in the future..."
Mo Yufeng was not angry but smiled instead.
"I saw the candy you asked them to buy in the kitchen... Thank you!" Ma Qingyi said a little embarrassedly.
Mo Yufeng smiled evilly and approached her, "How are you thanking me?"
Ma Qingyi pushed him away with a red face. "Anyway, your medicine also has your sugar in it... I'm not the only one who needs it!" After saying that, she immediately ran away, leaving Ren Moyufeng standing there in a daze.
Ma Qingyi returned to the garden and just sat down. Before the stool was even warm, Chunling ran in hurriedly, panting. Ma Qingyi stood up and looked at her, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
"Miss... Miss, on the street... on the street..." Chunling spoke intermittently. Ma Qingyi didn't understand her either. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Speak slowly..."
Chun Ling drank tea, and finally said with a steady breath, "Miss, there is a magician on the street, and many people go there! I... I want to go and see it, too, Miss, don't you want to go?"
Ma Qingyi held her forehead, thinking something big had happened, a magician... wait, a magician
Ma Qingyi's thoughts suddenly went back to a long time ago...
Ma Mansion
Ma Qingyi knelt on the chair and looked at Ma Xiong in a baby voice, "Dad, I want to go play in the street!"
"No, Dad has to go to war soon and doesn't have time. I'm worried if you go alone!" Ma Xiong straightened his clothes.
"Let the wet nurse take me there... please!" Ma Qingyi's little face looked aggrieved as if she was about to cry!
Ma Xiong glanced at her, sighed helplessly, walked over to her, stretched out his arms and picked her up, "Ouch... Xiao Qingyi has become heavier again! In a few years, Daddy won't be able to hold her anymore!"
Ma Qingyi hugged Ma Xiong's neck, kissed him on the face and smiled.
"Dad, I only have a short time to play with you. We will be back in an incense stick of time. Don't cry or make a fuss then. Promise me, and Dad will take you there!" Ma Xiong said, looking at her.
"Okay!" Ma Qingyi smiled.
Even when Ma Qingyi was held, she was not obedient, and the helplessness on Ma Xiong's face could be seen!
"Qingyi, be quiet!" Ma Xiong said pretending to be angry.
Ma Qingyi didn't care at all. "No, no, Dad, I want to eat that!" Ma Qingyi said, pointing to the dough figurines on a stall not far away.
"Okay!" Ma Xiong carried her over and took out a penny to give to the vendor.
"This is the first time General Ma brings the little princess out!" said the vendor as he took the money.
Ma Xiong is a famous general who has made countless outstanding military achievements. He should be known to everyone in the capital!
"She is naughty and insists on coming out!" Ma Xiong smiled helplessly.
"Since the little princess wants to play, General, why don't you take her to the troupe up ahead? It's a new troupe, and their performances are so lifelike, there's not a single flaw to be found. They even have a new act called... something like magic!"
Ma Xiong glanced at Ma Qingyi. It just so happened that this little girl liked to see new things, so why not take her to see it!
"Okay, thank you!" Ma Xiong took her to the theater that the vendor mentioned.
That afternoon, Ma Qingyi played for a whole incense stick of time and was reluctant to leave. Ma Xiong saw that time was running out and forcibly carried her back. Ma Qingyi had been in a bad mood before Ma Xiong left.
Ma Xiong walked to the door, and Ma Qingyi suddenly grabbed his clothes and said, "Daddy!"
"What's wrong? You want to go out again? No!" Ma Xiong said firmly and affirmatively.
Ma Qingyi opened her arms and lay flat in front of her without saying a word. She turned her hands a few times, produced a bracelet and handed it to him.
"Daddy, please come back soon!" Ma Qingyi said in a trembling voice.
Ma Xiong looked at her with some shame and reluctance, "Qingyi, be good. Dad will take you out to play when he comes back!"
Ma Qingyi nodded, looking at Ma Xiong's departing back, tears streaming from her eyes, "...ah...ah..."
The wet nurse came out and looked at her anxiously, "Oh, Miss, why are you crying!" Then she looked at where Ma Qingyi was looking and said, "The master will be back soon, don't cry, Miss..."
Later, Ma Xiong returned triumphantly, but he never took her out again...
Ma Qingyi's thoughts were pulled back by Chunling's voice.
"Miss……"
"Chunling, let's go out and take a look!" Ma Qingyi said to Chunling.
Chunling said excitedly, "Okay!"
Ma Qingyi changed her clothes and left with Chunling.
on the street
Ma Qingyi's heart beat fast as she watched the people performing acrobatics, swordplay, and magic tricks.
No, this is not the theater from before.
Ma Qingyi's eyes flashed with worry, and when she looked up, her eyes suddenly lit up. That was...
That old man is... from that troupe.
Ma Qingyi suddenly ran forward impulsively and stood in the middle, feeling awkward for a moment.
Seeing Chunling anxiously shouting "Master, Master, how did you get up there?"
Ma Qingyi turned around and smiled awkwardly at the old man. The old man also smiled kindly, put down the knife in his hand, walked to Ma Qingyi's side, and said with a smile, "Young Master, you must be amazed by our performance! You couldn't help but rush over!"
Ma Qingyi instantly understood that he was defending herself, and smiled gratefully, "Yes, the performance was really great, just as good as it was more than ten years ago..."
The old man paused and looked at Ma Qingyi in disbelief. Ma Qingyi just smiled slightly.
The performance was over and the crowd dispersed. Ma Qingyi turned around, but was stopped. The old man came over and looked at Ma Qingyi and asked, "Sir, have you been here before?"
Ma Qingyi glanced at Chunling, and Chunling turned and left.
Ma Qingyi bowed respectfully and said, "I saw you perform more than ten years ago, but not in this theater..."
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, when we left the capital and went to the nearby capital, we thought things would be the same as in the capital. But who would have thought that business would get worse and worse, and finally no one came to visit. People in that garden left and dispersed, and there were only a few people left... I had a family who were relying on me to make money to support them! So I left... This is my garden now!" The old man said helplessly, pointing to the platform behind him.
Ma Qingyi felt a little reluctant and regretful. Suddenly, she remembered something. She stretched out her hand, spread out her palm, turned it over, and conjured a flower. She smiled and said, "Do you still remember this? You taught me this!"
The old man smiled, turned Ma Qingyi's hand around and tugged at her sleeve. Ma Qingyi pulled her hand back embarrassedly and looked at him.
"Time is such a ruthless knife. As time goes by, we tend to forget everything. Life becomes less and less exciting!" the old man shouted in a higher voice.
Ma Qingyi looked at him and asked, "Where are your family members?"
"..." The old man raised his head, and his eyes turned red. "I don't have any family anymore!"
