Zihuai and Zhao Ru talked about what happened to Mengba, and everyone agreed to return to the city to avoid more trouble. After staying for a few days, the whole army set out.

Xiao Jiu's foot injury was not healed, and a carriage was specially made for her. Not to mention the spaciousness, there is also a skylight, which is hot and hot, and it is covered with a traditional embroidered yarn in the West, which does not affect the ventilation and is very cool.

There are a lot of books found in the car, most of them are travelogues and anecdotes, and there is a "Leping Travelogue" about an old man who is unwilling to live in time, and the story of traveling alone, Xiao Jiu is completely fascinated by it.

When she went to camp to rest, she did not come down. Until Chu Yinghan got into the carriage, she was still immersed in the book. There were no women's clothes in the army, and it was inconvenient to wear Xiban's dress all the time, so she still changed into a man's attire, leaned cross-legged against the side wall, and looked at the book in her hand intently. Hair hangs slightly behind the ears.

"Why are you so fascinated by it? Chuang Zi told you to eat the marinated beef a few times and ignored it?"

Xiao Jiu raised his head and saw that it was him. Hurriedly smiled: "This book is very interesting, an old man in his forties and fifties abandoned his family and children, and was bent on swimming and playing in the water." I also encountered many places that I had never heard of, and even fell into ancient tombs. ”

Chu Yinghan hooked the corners of his mouth, took the book in her hand and looked at it, "This kind of apocryphal book is all imagination and has no basis. ”

"How? Each place name is written in detail. I've already made a decision to play with this book in the future, and I'll practice whipping when I get back!"

Chu Yinghan frowned, and directly rolled up the book. "No!" Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Look at you! Then let's go together, okay?"

Chu Yinghan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to pull up her broken hair, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. "Okay! I'll be in Jiangdu tomorrow, and I'll send you back when the time comes. ”

Seeing that he was still worried, Xiao Jiu immediately interrupted: "I should know everything, you don't have to be so careful, it's not like you I know." When the army enters the city, I can go in slowly, and I don't have to follow him, and it's troublesome. ”

Chu Yinghan fell out of love dumbly, and said with some self-deprecation: "I will ask my father for marriage tomorrow, and I will always suffer from such gains and losses, so that the lady can see the joke!"

Xiao Jiu's face turned red, and he no longer paid attention to him, as if he was a little distracted, and there was sadness in his eyes.

"Something?" Chu Yinghan turned her face with one hand. Xiao Jiu hesitated again and again and said, "Can you not talk to Beidi about this matter first?"

"Why?" Chu Yinghan was really unhappy.

"The matter of my mother's parents has not been clarified, and with my current identity, Beidi will not easily agree, I don't want to have you with others, and I don't want to follow in my mother's footsteps. ”

"Xiao Jiu, I only want you to be alone in this life!" Chu Yinghan immediately knew her concerns, and said affectionately, as if he had thought of something: "Do you suspect that your mother's death is related to the palace?"

Xiao Jiu shook his head. "There are many reasons that I have not answered in my heart, and I don't want to marry you in such an unknown way. “

Chu Yinghan frowned slightly, with a trace of doubt in his heart, but he didn't want to disappoint her. He grabbed her and said, "Okay, but you have to tell me in person, Xiao Jiu, if you are willing to stay with me for the rest of your life." ”

Xiao Jiu immediately straightened his body, looked at him very seriously and said, "I am willing." ”

Chu Yinghan hooked the corners of his mouth at this time, and lowered his head slightly to explore her lips. Xiao Jiuyi pushed it away. "Zhao Ru is still outside!"

Chu Ying smiled. "Go back to Jiangdu and see what else you have to say!"

Before Shen was ready, the military horses were outside the city. Chu Yinghan insisted that Xiao Jiu enter the city first, but Xiao Jiu also insisted on not breaking in, said goodbye to acquaintances, brought a big hat by himself, and went to the front of the medical hall.

Before dawn, there were already people lining up at the door. Xiao Jiu went around to the courtyard door and knocked on the door, but there was no movement. Negative qi kicked over. Only then did Xiao Yuzi's voice come from inside: "It's coming, it's coming, it's just not going to sleep." If you do this again, you will close your shop and rest from now on. ”

scolded and opened the door, and it was Xiao Jiu. was so happy that she couldn't speak, and seeing that the people in front of the store were about to come here, she hurriedly pulled her into the courtyard and said, "Miss Ling, you can be regarded as back, Gao Fu said that you went to the battlefield with the prince, which scared us all terrified." ”

As he spoke, he drew out the rest of the people. The most daring is Chunhua, as soon as he slipped out of the door, he hugged Xiao Jiu, and screamed. "Miss Ling, you can be considered to be here, Shunzi is almost going to exhaust us to death. “

"How can it be so exaggerated!" Xiao Jiu smiled and pushed her away and looked at Junko. Junko smiled lowly: "The news of Daji has already come back, and we can't hope that you will return safely, but we can't rest assured." I couldn't sleep at night, so I simply asked them to get up and grind the medicine. ”

He changed into homely clothes, Xu has stayed in the palace since he was a child, he has seen a lot of things, and he also has an elegant atmosphere, compared with the previous one, it is like two people. Xiao Jiu was relieved and asked again, "What's going on in front of the door?"

Chunhua preemptively said: "It's not a Shunzi yet, I have to find Doctor Ming to discuss a few herbal tea recipes, now it's okay, everyone who opened the store came to buy it, lest someone rush to it." There is also the hangover pill, the shopkeepers of several flower shops all asked for a large order, but Shunzi refused, and still sold it in quantities every day. We're all exhausted. ”

"Junko is a person who understands business. Xiao Jiu tapped Chunhua's forehead with his finger. "You have to study hard, otherwise you won't be able to take care of the accounts when you get married in the future. ”

Chunhua said embarrassedly: "I won't marry!" Xiao Yuzi teased again: "Yes, I don't know who it is, when Imperial Doctor Ming came, it was like losing his soul." “

Everyone burst into laughter. This is really good, Xiao Jiu thought, she has always wanted such a lively family, not seeking luxury as long as food and clothing. It's best if everyone can always be noisy together.

Seeing that Chunhua couldn't get off the stage, Xiao Jiu hurriedly said, "Okay, okay." I'm dying of stinking, so get me some water first. ”

Chunhua covered her nose and said: "It's really stinky, you go back and wait quickly, lest the people outside the door think that the medicine in our hospital is rancid." “

Xiao Jiu pretended to dismantle the whip: "Okay, you, you have learned to fight backwards." Chunhua hurriedly fled, shouting: "Lian'er, go and put the melons and fruits you bought yesterday into the well and soak them, the girl is the most greedy." “

"Hey!" the crisp voice brightened, and only then did I see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl sticking her head out from behind, seemingly a little timid, and did not dare to look up at her.

"What is this?" Xiao Jiu stopped and looked at him suspiciously. Chunhua patted his head and said, "I forgot to say, Lian'er, you are our shopkeeper." ”

"I've seen the shopkeeper, my name is Lian'er. The tone was very timid, and his eyes kept dodging. Chunhua grabbed her and stepped forward and said, "She fainted at the door of the store from hunger, and we took her in when we saw that she was pitiful." But it's up to the girl to decide whether to stay in the future or not. ”

"Those who ask for the shopkeeper must leave Lian'er, Lian'er has no father and no mother, and she came to Jiangdu to look for relatives but didn't find anyone, so she really has nowhere to go. Lian'er cried and said, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, each time she worked very hard, and her heart trembled.

Xiao Jiu didn't have the energy to ask more, but he didn't feel good. "You stay for now, and we'll talk about it slowly. ”

Lian'er was already crying breathlessly, crying not like a fake, but a little too much. Xiao Jiu stopped talking and went upstairs.

Only then did Lian'er pull Chunhua and ask, "Sister Chunhua, do you say that the master doesn't like me?"

Chunhua also felt strange in her heart, Xiao Jiu had always been enthusiastic, I was afraid she was too tired. comforted: "I think it's because she's too tired, Miss Ling has always been kind-hearted and very good, and she has never looked at us as people." You have to relax and do your best. ”

Junko was also a little puzzled, and comforted: "Okay, everyone is busy." ”

Xiao Jiu lay in the bathtub and asked Chunhua with water. "What's the matter with that Lian'er?" Chunhua added some petals to the tub. "It was probably not long after you left, and when you opened the door in the morning, you saw her fainting at the door. His clothes were in tatters, his body was wounded, and he was dying. We carried her to the courtyard, and Dr. Ming also came to prescribe medicine, and then she said that she was homeless, so we left her, and she was very diligent, and she never complained when she worked at night. ”

"Wounded? You didn't ask her?

"Yes, Xiao Yuzi and Junzi both felt that something was wrong, how could someone beat her like this when they came to look for relatives, but every time they asked her, she refused to say. Later, Junzi didn't let him ask again, and told us privately that Xu was a poor man's family who was sold to the flower shop and escaped. “

If that's the case, it's okay to protect her for a while, but I'm afraid that it won't be good for those people to come to the door. Xiao Jiu thought slightly.

Chunhua said: "But it's not like she ran from Jiangdu, she is very natural every time she goes to the street with me, so we don't think much about it." Miss Ling, she is quite pitiful, Xu has suffered a lot, she has few words, she always looks frightened, and she looks very pitiful. “

"Well, then stay. ”

"I'm really a girl, and Cai Lian'er is still scared half to death, I'm afraid you don't want her. Girl, are you coming with Grandpa Wang? If he marries you and goes home, what will we do with this hospital? Doctor Ming also opened up a small depression in the courtyard a while ago, planted a lot of medicinal herbs, and came to take care of it when he was free. ”

Xiao Jiu smiled. Then it depends on whether you have the ability to leave him in the hospital, and if there is, the hospital will send you both. “

Chunhua's face turned red and took the underwear for her. "Girl, what nonsense are you talking about, in fact, I know that Doctor Ming is mostly for you. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm only a few friends with him. But Naruta is a good doctor, and I knew it when I saved Junko. If you really like it, go for it. ”

Chunhua lowered a little, "I'm afraid I'm not worthy of him with such an identity." As soon as she said this, it caused Xiao Jiu to feel uneasy, she didn't want the prince to ask for marriage, and she was also worried that she would get bad news, and she couldn't bear it, so it was better to drag it out like this.

With a faint smile, the woman's mind is complicated. When I was the ninth master before, I didn't feel that life was so hard, but it was really uncomfortable to see Chunhua, so I smiled and comforted: "What identity? Didn't you still prepare to be a princess? Now you can't marry a princess?"

Chunhua sneered. "Girl, you really hold a grudge, but you are right, the prince has so many admirers, how many of the people in the mansion alone are going to the prince, and there are a few concubines, although the prince is not lucky, but he also has an identity. Alas, I think you're a lot more troubled than I am. ”

Xiao Jiu angrily sprinkled the water droplets on her face. "I'm not ashamed, I'll learn everything to Doctor Ming another day. ”
