I am the only daughter of the governor of Sicily. I have been loved by my father since I was a child. My mother passed away when I was born. My father saw that I lost my mother when I was born, so he poured double his love into me.
On me.
Ever since I was young, my father would try his best to get whatever I wanted. Whenever I had something to do, he would put aside all his official duties to accompany me. So I have always lacked anything, but my father was very strict in my education.
, my father would ask teachers to come home to teach me anything a noble lady needs to learn or know. For this reason, I grew up to be what my father wanted me to be - a noble, beautiful and talented noble lady.
However, due to my father's excessive care for me, my childhood was not free. Because I was sensible, I would not ask my father to play with me from time to time. I spent most of my time studying.
I don't like having a lot of people following me around. I gradually became independent and learned to do many things by myself. Gradually, I became a strong and independent little adult. My father was busy with work and didn't notice my changes.
That was the year I was seven years old. The lord of Hongye City came to my house with her ten-year-old son. The lord of Hongye City was my father’s best friend, so when the lord suggested that his son play with me, my father
Didn't refuse as usual.
This was the first time I met a man, oh, no, a boy to be precise, in private at a banquet place.
Brother Xuan is a very naughty person. As soon as he saw me, he always complimented me on my beauty. No one has ever praised me so blatantly. Even though I look like a young adult, I couldn't help but blush.
Seeing my blushing look, Brother Xuan smiled. He took my hand and said to me, "Sister Xuewu, let me take you out to play!"
It was not a question but a statement, so I was pulled by him and ran out of the house. Seeing my father's acquiescence, the guards at the door did not stop us and just followed us. However, Brother Xuan thought they were like followers and it was troublesome.
He took me around and around to get rid of them.
He held my hand and I ran very hard, because I am just a magician and my physical fitness is not very good, so I was tired and out of breath after just a little running.
This was the first time that I threw away the status and etiquette of an aristocratic lady and ran wantonly on the streets. It was also the first time that a man held my hand. My eyes stayed on his left hand that was holding mine tightly.
Due to the previous running, our clasped hands were already a little sweaty and sticky. This was an experience I had never had before. I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw Brother Xuan successfully throwing away the guard.
Laughed along with him.
It's not the kind of polite smile that comes from the bottom of my heart, it's the laughter that truly comes from the heart.
Brother Xuan saw me smiling happily, raised her right hand and pinched my face, and said, "Sister Xuewu, you are so beautiful. I will definitely marry you as my wife in the future."
Listening to Brother Xuan's words, I suddenly remembered the sentence in the play: "When my hair reaches my waist, will the young man marry me?" I lowered my head and my face turned red.
"Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious!" Brother Xuan's voice came from above.
I nodded to him and wandered around the street with him. Perhaps because we were dressed unusually, no one came to offend us. I followed him around the whole street and bought a lot of things I had never seen before.
Rare stuff.
At dinner time, Brother Xuan whispered in my ear: "I'll take you to a good place. I heard the food there is very delicious."
I didn't object to his opinion. Following his instructions, I put on a newly bought men's clothing and headed towards the dining place together.
Soon, we came to the so-called eating place. At that time, I was young and didn’t know that it was the Flower House, which is also the legendary brothel.
When we two little boys dressed in unusual clothes entered the place, we immediately attracted a lot of attention. However, I was not afraid of Brother Youxuan and just followed him closely.
It seemed that this was not the first time that Brother Xuan had been to such a place. He very skillfully asked the supervisor to make arrangements, and then he pulled me into a very ornately decorated box.
After a while, the exquisite food came up. I tasted it and it was really delicious. Just when I was eating with peace of mind, Brother Xuan pushed my hand and guided me to look ahead.
In front of us was a woman wearing some revealing clothes, sitting next to a guzheng. When she saw us, she bowed to her, then sat in front of the guzheng and played for us.
Seeing Brother Xuan's fascinated look, I frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice: "You can't play it as well as I do, but it sounds so good!"
Listening to my complaining words, Brother Xuan suddenly became interested, and asked the woman to go down, and then said to me: "Sister Xuewu, you see, I have been playing with you for a long time, and I have bought so many delicious things for you.
If you eat, should you play me a piece of music to express your gratitude?"
Listening to Brother Xuan's very reasonable words, I nodded slightly hesitantly. I walked slowly to the side of the guzheng, tried a few notes and started playing it.
I had learned a lot of guzheng music, but suddenly I didn’t know what to play well, so I had no choice but to play Gao Shan Liu Shui like the woman just now.
In fact, this is not my best music, but it can be said that it is easy for me to pick up. Unknowingly, the song ended and I returned to my seat. I couldn't help but smile when I saw Brother Xuan's dazed look.
Brother Xuan happily praised: "Sister Xuewu, you play the guzheng so well. I have never heard such a beautiful guzheng. I believe there is no one in the whole building who can play the guzheng better than you."
Listening to Brother Xuan's praise, I felt very happy. Just as I was about to say a few words of humility, I was disturbed by the noise outside the door.
With a sound of "Bang!!!", the door of our box was opened. When I looked up, I saw two drunk people shouting for the girl who was playing the guzheng just now. Maybe she was too drunk.
, so he barged in very rudely.
The woman who just played the guzheng walked in from the door. After knowing the whole story, everyone turned to look at me. Those drunk people were regular visitors here. At this time, I dressed up as a man at any time, but
He was recognized anyway, and everything after that was the same old drama, with the scumbag coming forward to tease her, and Brother Xuan heroically saving the beauty.
I can't even remember the scene that day. The only thing I remember is that brother Xuan held my hand tightly, looked at me seriously, and told me: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you!"
He said it, and I believed it. Under Brother Xuan's protection, I was unscathed, but he was scarred because of protecting me. Later, it was the guards who found us and rescued us.
But because brother Xuan took me to such a place, my father was dissatisfied. From then on, he disappeared from my sight. The first person in my life who held my hand and told me that he would protect me completely
left my world.
I still remember that when he left that day, although his face was scarred, he said to me with a bright smile: "Sister Xuewu, we will meet again!"
