Xia Mei sat in front of the stove, lazily shaking her fan, looking at the dancing flames inside.

In the past few days at home, she seriously reviewed her mental journey after crossing, from the depression and struggle at the beginning, to the slow efforts to integrate into the world.

After that, I carefully explored a boundary, a boundary that the world could accept, and worked diligently, walking on thin ice.

Now, it's hard to see and I'm ready to start doing a big job.

However, each of these ideological changes is a blow to her, and each blow can make her more deeply integrated into the world and more deeply appreciate her own differences.

The blow is getting bigger and bigger, her changes are getting stronger and stronger, and now it has reached a peak, but it has ushered in a head-on blow.

She was really confused for a long time, and began to think about the point of being a qiē, just to survive and make money? Or do you live with a clear conscience for your own wishes?

The answer is self-evident.

She is Xia Mei, Xia Mei from modern times, no matter the tenacity in her bones or the unyielding formation of the day after tomorrow, she becomes more and more courageous every time, just to be able to be herself and live a color in ancient times.

The road ahead is foggy and full of obstacles, but no matter how slow the progress is, no matter how far the detours go away, she will not give up, because as long as she is still herself, there will be a day when it will be realized.

Getting rid of the anxiety and impatience in her heart, Xia Mei obediently returned to reality, stayed in the restaurant honestly, and maintained business.

If the war really wants to ignite, no one can stop it, she is just a small person, she can only go with the flow, if the war is unfortunate and spreads here, then she has to give up a qiē, go away, and wait to survive. Settle down again and start over.

This is the worst plan, as for the life and death parting brought about by the war, Xia Mei is not ready to face it. can only be intuitively ignored, anyway, you can only protect these people around you, and the rest will be powerless.

Right now, Wen Hao and Xinghua. Still staying in Yongcheng and Liangcheng, Wen Xi a few, although they also heard the rumors, they were sure to be worried, but it was useless for them to be anxious, they could only live one day at a time.

Xia Mei also followed everyone, lived every day's business, often inquired about the latest developments of things outside, and came back for a worried discussion.

As the showcase of the entire Tianfu Restaurant, Qin Zhihan. sadly found that he was the least vocal at the moment.

Because in the matter of moving the restaurant, everyone actually stood on the united front, and no one agreed with him, mainly because Xia Mei disagreed, and no one supported him, after all, these people were all trained by Xia Mei.

And Liu Quan, Qin Zhihan sighed, he was afraid that it would be the whole Tianfu. The person who loves this restaurant the most.

He grew up here, stayed here for more than ten years, how could he have left before the war began, according to his words. I'm sorry for the old showcase. Qin Zhihan has a mouthful of old blood, I'm sorry for Mao, it's him who wants to say I'm sorry! It's not your turn, okay?!

In any case, because he couldn't persuade this group of people to leave, and he didn't worry about them, Qin Zhihan simply stayed in Qingshan Town. I haven't left.

Xia Mei didn't bother to care about him, after all, it was his secret, she wouldn't interfere too much, and before the war spread here, not leaving her hometown was her bottom line, and the rest, whatever Qin Zhihan tossed.

Relatively speaking, Wu Song is the most relieved person, because he knows Qin Zhihan's true identity, he knows that Qin Zhihan will not look at these people in danger, as for Xia Mei, he himself has the confidence to protect, so even if there is a war, there is no urgent danger.

But these Wu Song didn't tell Xia Mei, what kind of intentions did that person have for his wife, how could he not understand it as a man? So he wished that his wife didn't understand this man, and he hated this man even more.

Life went on as always, but Tang Bao's life had changed a little, because their master and son had moved to Wangcheng, and there was no new master in the town school for the time being, so these children had to stay at home and study by themselves.

So this kid, who has been following Wu Song's madness all over the mountains recently, has gone on every side of the waves, and the whole person has become dark and thin, and he is like a monkey.

On this day, Xia Mei went home and passed by the next door, and found that some light smoke floated out of the yard inside, but it didn't come out of the chimney, could it be that it was water?

Startled, Xia Mei tentatively knocked on the door and shouted twice, and soon Su's response and footsteps came from inside, and Xia Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Xia, I'm back so early today!"

Su welcomed Xia Mei in and asked casually, Xia Mei replied with a smile: "Well, there is no business in the restaurant." ”

While speaking, Xia Mei looked at the smoking room and asked suspiciously, "Sister Su, what are you doing?" What to burn in it? ”

Su Shi's eyebrows were slightly sorrowful, and his hand was even more uneasy with a handkerchief, and when he heard Xia Mei's question, he sighed with a bitter face, "Sister Xia, you have a big heart, I can't remember it of course, today, it's the day of my Ling'er's exam!" ”

Xia Mei suddenly, "Then sister, what are you burning?" Book from the sky? ”

Glaring at Xia Mei, Su Shi said angrily: "Of course, burn some silver coins, put some tributes, and ask the saint to bless my family Ling'er High School!" ”

But don't all saints treat money like dung?

Silently swallowed the spit into her stomach, Xia Mei wisely did not pick Su's thorn at this moment, she was looking for peace of mind at the moment, you must know that she was nervous not for a day and a half, she found out early that she was often in a daze, and occasionally there were words in her mouth, if Xia Mei didn't know the inside story, she thought that this person was stunned.

Su Shi didn't know Xia Mei's slander, but he also knew that the other party didn't think so, and sighed with some grievances: "You don't know now, when your Tang Bao takes the exam in the future, it's strange to see if you're not worried!" ”

Xia Mei couldn't help but whisper softly, "Sister Su, don't you be angry, don't I have confidence in Ling'er?" Could it be that Sister Su can't trust Ling'er? ”

Although he knew that this was a radical method, Su Shi still couldn't avoid the angry retort: "Of course not!" I'm ...... to Ling'er Nature is confident! But this ......"

"No, but! Sister Su, you can rest assured! Your family Ling'er will definitely go to high school in one fell swoop! When the time comes, I'll beg for a big glass of wine to drink! ”

Saying that, Xia Mei showed a sly smile on her face: "You know, Sister Su, you will be double happy when the time comes!" ”

Xia Mei said a few words of comfort, Su's face finally got better, glanced at the smiling Xia Mei, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry Sister Xia, it's hard for you to comfort me every time." ”

Xia Mei chuckled: "Look at what my sister said, my sister treats me so well, I naturally solve my worries with my sister." What's more, I'm telling the truth, it's just that my sister herself is just a fan. ”

Su Shi smiled a little relieved, "I hope so!" I hope God bless my family Ling'er. Make your wish come true. ”

…………

In Wangcheng, Fengzhu Courtyard, there are three students who are preparing for the exam.

At this moment, Lu Ling was the only one in the courtyard, looking at the simple configuration in the room, and let out a long breath of turbidity.

"It's finally over."

There was peace of mind. It seems that there is nothing in my mind, so I just think blankly, so that the exam is over, a little ...... Can't believe it.

There was the sound of two other classmates talking outside, Lu Ling walked out, and saw the two of them walking in one after another, he greeted him and said with a smile: "The two brothers came back a little later than me, are they facing other candidates in the back?" ”

This Fengzhu Courtyard is specially prepared for these candidates, and the environment is elegant and clean. The rent is a bit expensive, but it is normal for three people to share it together, and these two people are the people who share the house with Lu Ling.

Among them, the man in the navy blue robe is called Mo Li, about his early twenties, his facial features are ordinary but not outstanding, he smiles gently, and there is an indifferent and calm temperament flowing around him, which makes people look a little more.

The other man was much more handsome, shorter than Mo Li, and had a beautiful crown on his body. In such a season, he already has a delicate folding fan in his hand, and he looks like a graceful boy.

This person is from Lucheng, and he is the only son of the county guard of Lucheng, Feng Ruofeng. The personality is also a little arrogant, but Lu Ling and Mo Li are both peaceful people, and there is no such thing as discord in their personalities, and the three of them have naturally gotten along for a few months, but they have nothing to do with each other.

At this moment, Mo Li smiled faintly at Lu Ling: "Hmm." I walked out of the examination room and chatted with a classmate, and I happened to meet Brother Feng, so we came back together. ”

Lu Ling looked at Mo Li's confident smile, and knew that he should answer the question well, turned his head to look at Feng Ruofeng, there was a faint worry between his eyebrows, and he was slightly aware in his heart, so he smiled and said: "The two elder brothers are better educated than me, so naturally there is no problem, but it's me, the last topic is a little ambiguous, and I'm worried that it's a little off-topic." ”

Mo Li heard this, showing a worried expression, "How come?" Brother Lu, you are the most insightful on weekdays, how can you ...... this time That's it, you're still young, and it's too late to take the exam next year, so don't think about it. ”

Lu Ling's face showed a little sadness, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Feng Ruofeng's expression becoming clearer, and he secretly shook his head and chuckled lightly in his heart.

The three of them stood in the courtyard and discussed for a while, Feng Ruofeng probably wanted to open it, and his feelings became sunny again, with a consistent ruffian smile on his face, he hooked Lu Ling's shoulder and smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about this after the exam, let's drink well today!" Have fun! ”

Lu Ling showed a little hesitation on his face, but he heard Mo Li, who had always been strict, also chuckle and responded: "Brother Feng is right, we should have a good rest today." ”

Seeing this, Lu Ling couldn't shirk it, so he had to smile helplessly and be dragged out.

(anti-theft, change immediately)

King Jing was puzzled for a moment, suddenly thought of something, a trace of playfulness crossed his eyes, and then smiled: "Father-in-law, don't worry, this king is the younger brother of the emperor's brother, and the emperor's brother will not do anything to this king." What's more, you know that this king has always been an idle prince in this royal city, and he doesn't listen to things outside the window, where can he provoke Long Yan's anger? ”

"This ......" the chief manager was in a dilemma for a while, King Jing was right, maybe the emperor was not angry with him.

Thinking of this, the chief manager felt a little relieved, and then smiled: "Since His Royal Highness King Jing knows it in his heart, our family is too talkative." His Royal Highness King Jing, please come with our family. ”

Xuanyuan Jing smiled slightly and said: "Where is the father-in-law, a good heart, the king naturally understands, and asks the father-in-law to take the first step, and the king will arrive later." ”

The manager got a satisfactory answer, and was sent out of King Jing's mansion with a few polite words, and went back to his life, Xuanyuan Jing touched his chin and thought for a moment, chuckled, changed his clothes, and went to the palace.

When Xuanyuan Jing arrived at the imperial study, he saw that Xuanyuan Huan's yellow robe was wrinkled, and his hair crown was a little scattered, and he secretly raised his eyebrows.

Finally saw Xuanyuan Jing, Xuanyuan Huan couldn't wait to rush forward to strangle him at this moment, glared at him hatefully, and threw the crumpled fold in his hand at his feet.

"Xuanyuan Jing! Look at what you've done! ”

Xuanyuan Jing bent down, picked up the fold in front of him and glanced at it hastily, he knew it in his heart, but his face was shocked: "Oh my God! Brother Royal...... This...... The prince ......"

Xuanyuan was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, and he slapped it on the table, "It's not you yet!" I have to recommend the prince to negotiate peace! Now it's good! It's like this! ”

Xuanyuan Rui understood that at this time, the imperial brother just wanted to find a punching bag, and this matter was too big, so he followed his words and said: "It's the courtier's brother who doesn't know people clearly, thinking that the prince is ...... Alas, who knew that he would be the prince of a country and would collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. ”

Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Huan's face was simply black and dripping water, and his fists were clenched tightly, Xuanyuan Jing glanced at his imperial brother's face, and continued with a pretended heartache: "You said that this prince, well, why did he collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?" ”

"Is it really as it says...... It's because I'm fascinated by that national teacher......"

"Enough! Go, let this man come to me, and I'll ask for myself!" ”

Xuanyuan Jing pursed his lips secretly, bowed his head and said, "Yes, my brother obeys orders." ”

He stepped back without looking back, and when he saw the head manager shrinking his head in the distance, he smiled at him kindly, indicating that he was fine.

When he returned to King Jing's Mansion, he sent someone to invite the generals of Yangguan City, and by the way, he brought a letter from himself.

…………

Qingshan Town, Tianfu Restaurant.

"Master, although the number of people outside here has decreased, our business is still passable, the business of hot pot soup is still barely passing, the potato snacks are bought very well, and even the vermicelli, there are several companies that have come to ask!"

Wen Xi stood in front of the board, cutting shredded potatoes quickly with a knife in his hand, and reporting to Xia Mei in front of the stove.

After nesting at home for a few days, Xia Mei finally cheered up.

The blow she suffered before was too big, bigger than all the previous ones, and it almost made her retract into the protective shell again, but in the end, she was lazy at home for a few days, only to find that it was much more reassuring to be busy than idle.

So I went back to the restaurant (to be continued.) )

PS: It's really too busy today...... It's too late to change to six thousand, so I'll change it to four thousand first, and then make up for it. I'm sorry......
