She was wearing a pretty little red dress and had two little buns on her head with red shiny things tied on them. She had a chubby little face and smiled at them with her lips pursed.
She said, "Big brother, there are plenty of food at home."
In Fu Jiuli's eyes, the little girl was an angel that descended from the sky, injecting a ray of light into his dark world.
That day, the little girl asked the servant to take them to a corner gate of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion. Not long after she ran in, she took out a big cloth bag and gave it to them.
She also told them to wait for her at the corner gate at this time every day, and she would bring them food.
He and his mother dared to open the cloth bag when no one was around. There were four white steamed buns and a whole roast chicken inside. He burst into tears on the spot and hugged his mother and cried bitterly.
From then on, the little girl came to bring them food every day as promised, sometimes it was braised beef, sometimes it was pickled pig's trotters, and once she brought him a candied haws.
Her eyes sparkled: "Big brother, come and eat it! This is what Brother Yu bought for me. I couldn't bear to eat it, so I saved it for you."
Although he didn't know who the Brother Yu she was talking about was, he must be someone very important to her.
Because every time she mentioned the three words "Brother Yu", her eyes were full of smiles, her eyebrows were flying with joy, and she even talked a lot more.
He liked to listen to her talk and say that he also liked it when she said "Brother Yu" because she would be very happy. When she was happy, he couldn't help but smile.
One day she came to him and brought them two bags of food.
With her two little hands supporting her chubby cheeks, she squatted in front of him and said, "Big brother, I have to go to Huashan Temple with my mother tomorrow! I can't come to see you! Mother said she wants to pray for rain. She said that only if it rains, Grandpa won't be so sad every day."
"I heard the Bodhisattva at Huashan Temple is very powerful! I'm going to make two wishes. One is for good weather and good harvests in Northern Vietnam, so that you and Auntie can live a good life! Big brother, you're so smart, I can ask my grandfather to recommend you to study at the Imperial College, and you can even become the top scholar and a high-ranking official in the future!"
"Second request..." The little girl's chubby cheeks were red, so cute.
"Secondly, I beg you to marry Brother Yu smoothly after I reach the age of marriage, and to be with Brother Yu forever!"
"I don't know if the Bodhisattva will agree..."
The little girl pouted, and her eyes, which always sparkled with stars, suddenly dimmed a lot: "But today I asked Brother Yu if he wanted to see me every day, and Brother Yu didn't answer me..."
The little girl lowered her head, her head was fuzzy.
Fu Jiuli wanted to rub the little girl's head, but after extending his hand a few inches, he secretly retracted it. How could he, a beggar, be worthy of such a gesture?
He could only smile and say, "You are so kind, he must be willing."
"Really?" The little girl's eyes, which had been dull just now, suddenly regained their brightness.
"Really." He nodded firmly.
But in his heart, he secretly swore that as long as he had the opportunity to take the imperial examination, he would work very hard and get the top score to show her, and then, as she said, he would become a high-ranking official.
If in the future...if her brother Yu doesn't want to marry her, if she is willing, he wants to marry her, hold her in his hands for the rest of her life, give her everything she wants, and make her happy every day.
He would never marry a bunch of wives and concubines like those men who hold official positions.
He only needs her, if he marries someone else, she will cry!
Fu Jiuli shook his head. He couldn't bear to see her cry.
"Big brother, Huashan Temple is so far away. Mom said I have to stay overnight before coming back. I will come to see you the day after tomorrow!"
"Big brother, if the Bodhisattva appears and brings rain, I will ask my grandfather to recommend you to study at the Imperial College. When the time comes, you must study hard and become a high-ranking official. Don't let me down. Do you understand?"
