"Well, Madam-in-law, I..." The bearded man looked aside, swallowed, and stared at the candy in Xi Jin's hand, "Can I..."
"Give him one!" Xie Luo said with a smile, "I'll buy it for you next time."
"You treat me like a child." Xi Jin stuffed one into Xie Luo's mouth and gave another one to Big Beard.
The bearded man happily took it: "My sister-in-law is so nice, she looks like my mother."
As soon as Big Beard said this, everyone laughed.
"The bearded man is so shy, but the grown man is begging for sweets from Sister Jin." Lan'er looked on, not caring about shedding tears, and joked.
Originally, she was scared to death when she saw the bearded man with a stubble on his face and a muscular body, but looking at the bearded man smiling playfully in front of Sister Jin every day, she slowly began to realize how cute the beard was.
"I'm not greedy! These days it's either sour water or hard steamed buns. It's good to have leftovers. It reminds me of my mother giving me sweets when I was a child."
The bearded man's words instantly silenced the laughing crowd.
Xi Jin comforted him: "We are almost to Yongzhou, not far from Yazhou. Everything will be fine."
"Well, Lan'er listens to sister Jin." Lan'er took Xi Jin's arm and leaned against her affectionately.
I remembered what my mother said to me a few days ago.
"Lan'er, we are exiled this time and have no one to rely on. We are the only ones left. It is impossible to rely on your uncle and his family. I see that your sister Jin and your wife do not look like ordinary people."
"What's unusual?" Although Lan'er's family is not noble, they were raised in a boudoir and have no experience in the world.
"Didn't you notice? Although the couple went on the road with us, their faces were tired but not thin. Do you think two meals of steamed buns and sour water this day can make them like this?"
"And you see, these officers are beating and scolding us, but you see the officers beating two of them?"
"But there's nothing special about them!" Lan'er was puzzled, "Look, Sister Chu Rou is already on the big carriage."
Nowadays, who doesn’t envy Lin Churou for riding in a carriage!
"Your sister Churou is stupid. She is so courteous for nothing and is either raped or stolen. Just watch, she, Lin Churou, will definitely pay the price."
Sure enough, early this morning, Lin Churou came down from upstairs with a scarred face, looking like she had been severely abused.
She later wanted to kill Sister Jin, but after all the fuss, she didn't take advantage of Sister Jin.
After what happened this morning, Lan'er became more convinced of Sister Jin's power, so she became more interested in making friends with her.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, have you used the powder I gave you?" The bearded man looked at everyone who was a little silent and changed the subject.
"What!" Lan'er screamed, looking at the guards with whips, and lowered her voice: "Big Bearded, how dare you give Sister Jin makeup in front of Brother Xie?"
"What's wrong with the gift of makeup? I was looking at Madam-in-law's face..." The bearded man didn't know how to describe it. Madam-in-law clearly had a great temperament and good-looking facial features, but her face was always dirty.
Lan'er glanced at Xi Jin, covered her mouth and laughed. As a woman, of course she knew that sister Jin's face was just painted with something to cover up her beauty. Only the idiot with a big beard really thought that sister Jin's complexion was not good.
"Sister Jin is very beautiful. Besides, this rouge and gouache was only a gift from my sweetheart. You are not afraid of Brother Xie being angry if you say so."
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, thank you brother, I..."
"It's okay, I know what a big beard means." Xie Luo looked at Xi Jin, "But I think my wife is already very beautiful and doesn't need to use makeup."
Xie Luo admired Xi Jin's beauty, and even more appreciated her intelligence that she knew how to conceal.
The bearded man nodded politely: "I understand. I won't send you rouge and gouache next time. Sister Laner, I will definitely ask you first when I send you something."
"Okay." Lan'er smiled and nodded, feeling quite happy.
For more than ten years before that, she had been trapped in her boudoir, spending all day hanging out with chess, calligraphy and painting, which was quite boring.
On the contrary, this time in exile, although her life was hard, she was able to meet so many interesting people, which made her mood much brighter.
Everyone walked all the way until noon when they reached the outside of Yongzhou City. The strange thing was that the gate of Yongzhou City, which should have been crowded with tourists, was actually closed at this time.
"What's going on in Yongzhou City? Why is the city gate closed in broad daylight? I still want to go in and have a drink!" Master Huang stood outside the city gate with his hands on his hips and shouted.
Mr. Liu quickly stopped him: "I heard from people at the inn a few days ago that Yongzhou City was afraid of chaos. A group of thieves had stolen the tiger talisman of Yongzhou City and wanted to replace it with the Lord of Yongzhou City. I didn't expect that it would take so many days." The rebellion in Yongzhou City has not subsided yet."
"Then what should we do?" Mr. Huang scratched his head, "We can't let a group of us rest outside the city, right?"
"Should you go into the city and die, or stay outside the city, can't you figure it out?" Mr. Liu looked angrily, swung his whip and shouted, "Everyone rest where you are."
Xi Jin helped Xie Luo sit down in the open space beside him and held his hand. The blood had already soaked the bandaged cotton cloth.
Xi Jin carefully pulled off the cotton cloth, cleaned his wound, and bandaged it again.
Seeing Xi Jin looking at his hand in deep thought, Xie Luo raised a smile and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry about a small injury."
"When I was young, my mother didn't like me. She always scolded me for being a bad girl, saying that I made her unable to have children again."
Xi Jin looked at Xie Luo, feeling the desire to talk to someone for the first time.
"Later, I was adopted by my aunt and uncle, and because of my grandfather's favor, I followed the Wei family and devoted myself to studying gynecology. Gynecology has always been passed down from female to male, but it was discontinued in my aunt's generation. I knew that I did not have the blood of the Wei family. So I was more serious than anyone else. When my cousins were playing around, I was studying medical books seriously, and that's how I developed my current medical skills."
"However, it seems that things always happen to people close to me. First, my mother had a difficult childbirth, then my aunt passed away, and Shangguan Ba was exiled and assassinated. Now even you... Xie Luo, even you are almost..."
Xie Luo smiled heartily, with a look of distress on his handsome face. He held her in his arms and comforted her softly: "You also say that you are a medical student. How can you believe these strange words?"
"Xie Luo, I don't want to get you involved." Xi Jinping leaned in Xie Luo's arms peacefully.
"Don't talk nonsense. If it weren't for you, I, Xie Luo, would be a skeleton now."
"Without me, the Xie clan wouldn't have let you die." Xi Jin later found out that not only did his grandmother find someone to die for him, but the Xie clan members behind him also never gave up on him. rescue.
Moreover, along the way, Xi Jin always felt that someone was following them secretly. These people were probably here to protect Xie Luo.
"But you let me live upright!" Xie Luo lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms, his eyes full of gratitude and love!
"Jin'er, is the conflict between you and Lin Churou also because of me?"
