"Mei Wan, you really decided to go find him." Ling Tiannan looked at Wan Haihua riding the horse with some incomprehension.
"Brothers, just like the sisters you have fallen in love with, I was attracted by the temperament of this man at the first sight. After what happened last night, I found I have fallen hopelessly in love with him. I have decided that I will find him no matter what. Brothers, I am leaving first." Miss Wan really regretted not looking for him when he came back last night. She was not a shy little girl, but when she saw him, she discovered that her identity that made her confident in the past might be nothing in front of this man.
In this era, good men basically have three wives and four concubines. Even if she is unwilling to share her man with other women, she still has to accept this reality. But as long as she is strong enough, she can be like her mother. Likewise, she firmly controlled the man in her hands. Her surname was all after her mother's. She strengthened her belief. With a whip in her right hand, the horse neighed and ran north along the east bank of the Grand Canal. Go, she remembered him saying that his destination was also Huai'an Mansion.
Ling Tiancheng looked at Wanhaihua, who was about to disappear in the early morning mist, and said to the young people beside him: "There are still Japanese pirates in this area, so I'd better follow Wanmei."
"Brother, do you think we can rest assured? General Zhang, thank you for your fast horse. Farewell." Ling Tiandong clenched his fist at a middle-aged general in dark red armor not far away and quickly followed him. If Wan Mei is in danger, his father will never let them go.
The other three brothers also hurriedly galloped away on their horses, leaving only one maid, Dong Ling, stamping her feet anxiously.
Of course General Zhang next to her knew whose servant this was, so he also gave her two taels of silver and asked two soldiers to take her to the nearest horse racing stable.

In mid-June, it was sunny for several days in a row. The sun was scorching the earth. After standing outside for a while, it felt like I was inside a stove. Zhuoer took a few steps outside and was basked in the sunshine. He looked at the people sitting in the main room. Standing in front of the tall and handsome young man, she immediately complained: "It's so hot, let's wait until it's cloudy before leaving."
"That's okay, as long as you don't refuse to leave when the time comes." Shen Jie replied.
Since arriving in Shanghe Town, less than thirty miles away from Huai'an Prefecture, seven days ago, there have been no dark clouds in the sky.
Zhuo'er felt that the past few days had been comparable to the hottest days of summer. After she stopped that night and noticed an obvious color difference on her arms, she refused to leave again.
This man had stuffed several heavy objects into his hands when he left the Grand Canal and entered the pond nine days ago. She opened her palms and saw that they were gold. It was estimated that there were at least 10 taels. According to 1 tael Gold can be exchanged for 10 taels of silver, which is nearly 100 taels of silver, or even 100,000 taels of silver. She has never seen so much money since she was a child.
At that time, she also suddenly realized that the previous twenty taels of silver probably came from that way. After she asked, he finally admitted that this was the result of fighting violence and keeping a good life, and what she had done before was not a dream at all. If it hadn't been for him, she might have become the wife of those rude men.
"Are you really planning to go to the capital to fight against the Lawa people?" Zhuo'er asked. She didn't believe it at first, but now she had to think so. He was always urging her. If it hadn't been so hot these days... It was so scary that he even wanted to run outside on his back several times.
"I went to the capital just to confirm one thing, and I'm not interested in anything else," Shen Jie said.
"That's good. I know you are in a hurry now. Let's have a good rest during the day and set off at night. When we get to Huai'an Mansion, we will buy a horse. That will be faster. If you confirm it early, we will Go home quickly." Zhuo'er suggested. In the past, she would have thought that he was going to die, but now she no longer looked at what he did with the sunshine of a weak woman.
Shen Jie nodded. In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time, but the surrounding villages were getting poorer and poorer along the way, and he didn't even see a horse.
He actually bought this small yard for ten taels of silver. The customs here do not agree with the word rent at all. They believe that as long as it has been used by others, they will never want it again.
She was sitting on the couch in the main room. Most of the windows were blocked by curtains, and the rest were blocked by her with cloth. The room was extremely cool. The door was not closed. The sunlight outside was strong, even if it did not shine directly into the home. The light was bright. Shen Jie had just poured a few basins of cold water on his body and was standing in front of the main room, using the hot air to dry his upper body. The light inside suddenly became very dim: "Why do you like reading now?" Shen Jie asked.
"I didn't want to be like this. Who told you to be so rich now? What if I no longer have any education and you dislike me?" Zhuo'er looked down at the book, not looking at him at all, and seemed to still be angry with him for lying to him. gas.
Shen Jie nodded and took a fancy to the content in her book. He could only understand about half of the words in the book that was densely packed with traditional Chinese characters, but she seemed to be able to read it very smoothly.
"You seemed to have nodded just now." Zhuo'er looked up at him with a somewhat unkind look.
When Shen Jie looked at her, he felt something was wrong and said quickly: "Actually, that's not what I meant. I just think you are good at studying, and I will follow your example."
He quickly walked up and leaned on the couch with her to read the book on her lap. After a while, he felt that his brain was drowsy and he wanted to sleep.
