396: Uncle Rubbing Bath
Creek, weeds, breeze, bare/back.
At first glance, this scene is surprisingly harmonious and eye-catching.
Uh, except for this overly bold and pompous bathing action......
Although she has encountered everything in the north and south, but in this situation, as a girl who has not left the cabinet, Hua Changjing's face still burned red uncontrollably.
It's not like I've never seen it......
The workers carrying goods on the dock in the hot summer, and the men who went into the water on the boat in the land of fish and rice that live on the water...... She's seen a lot, but she's never been so unprepared, let alone ...... It's so good-looking.
Wrong...... What was she thinking, hey!
Obviously they're about to get married?
Hua Changjing, who was full of shame, subconsciously held his breath, turned his face to see Jiang Ying's reaction, and with the mentality of confirming that he was not alone, he saw that this product neither showed coveted nor blushed, but ...... His face was full of confusion and anger.
Hua Changjing didn't know that her confusion was because the temperature was still low today, which was not enough to constitute an inevitable factor for taking a cold shower in the wild, why did this person have to rely on her good health to find the cold, but she instantly figured out the reason for her anger - there was no way to catch fish now......
After all, the river is public property!
Even if it's a fish pond, it's not yet contracted?
Bathing here in broad daylight is too lacking in public morality, right?
She has already silently made up the specific soup she wants to boil, okay...
Jiang Ying turned back with a heart full of unwillingness. I want to go back.
Although it is a loss to lose the ingredients for making fish soup, she still understands the principle of 'do not look at incivility'.
No matter how precious the fish soup is, it won't let her let a little girl follow a shirtless man to theorize about the ownership of this fish pond, right?
Just thinking about that scene makes people feel very magical......
"Who?"
The man who was concentrating on the bath was alarmed by the sound of footsteps and suddenly made a sound.
This is not a big deal, but it actually reveals the age - to say the least, he must be in his forties!
It turned out to be an uncle?
Hua Changjing was like thunder, and it seemed that he couldn't accept that he would blush for an uncle's nakedness/back.
Jiang Ying was also stunned, after all, in this time and space, she could still maintain such a good figure at this age. It's not easy.
And as far as she could see. The white back is really a fight with the little girl.
Good returns, white returns, but they have no intention of stopping because of this.
Unexpectedly, the bathing uncle refused to let them go easily, accompanied by the sound of the water coming ashore. There is also a sentence that sounds not smooth but very urgent: "Wait a minute! β
The words shouted to this point. Jiang Ying and Hua Changjing naturally didn't want to continue to pretend to be stupid. One by one, they stopped, and instead of rushing back, they looked at each other.
After all, no one has ever encountered such a ridiculous thing. I don't know what to do next......
In this ancient era of strict etiquette, it was a great thing for a man to see a woman's naked/back. But the two little girls accidentally bumped into such a scene, and it would be good if they didn't shout that they were frightened, so they wouldn't have to be responsible for compensation, right?
Besides, this uncle is also old, and he can be their father, take a look...... It doesn't matter, right?
Ahem, no way, since ancient times, men and women have been so unequal.
"We're here to catch fish-" Afraid that the other party would say something that could not be dealt with, Jiang Ying took the preemptive action, and her voice seemed reasonable.
Hua Changjing secretly shook her hand, his eyes full of approval.
Unexpectedly, after the other party was stunned for a moment, he answered: "Catch fish?" I've caught a few here, how about I give you the fish? β
ββ¦β¦β
Jiang Ying's eyes widened.
What kind of routine is this?
Is there anyone in this world who doesn't play according to the routine more than her?
Being looked at by someone on the back, but you want to send the fish in turn?
"Tsk, what are you afraid of, I don't eat people, but I turn around and talk?" The other party's words are still not very smooth, but they can still express the meaning clearly.
Jiang Ying hesitated for a moment, and didn't know if it was because the other party offered to send the fish, so the ghost turned around in a hurry.
Hua Changjing didn't turn back immediately, for fear of seeing something he shouldn't have seen again.
But the uncle who came up from the river seemed to have put on his clothes, and was bending over to put on his boots at the moment.
Jiang Ying looked at the strange patterns on his robe, and faintly felt that she had seen it somewhere.
And after she put on her boots and raised her head, she finally remembered where she had seen it-it was the dressing style of Xiling, and she had seen Jiang Lang pass through a similar one.
This uncle who rubbed in the wild turned out to be a Xiling man.
No wonder it doesn't sound so smooth when it comes to talking.
"Little girl, I'll give you the fishβ" The uncle straightened up and waved his hand kindly at Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying was surprised.
It's a complete back-to-back killer......
This uncle's appearance is far from what his fair and linear-like beautiful back can control, a big long face, rough facial features, messy beard, and a pair of extraordinarily sunken blue eyes, which are like a wild horse.
Seeing Jiang Ying standing still, the bathing uncle walked over by himself carrying a fish basket.
"How about we make a deal?" The uncle was the first to speak.
Jiang Ying paused, and seemed to understand.
It turned out to be a fish seller.
Just as he was about to ask Hua Changjing if he had any silver on him, he heard the uncle open his mouth again and clarified the purpose: "You tell me how to go to the Jin family's military camp, and this fish will be given to you, how about it?" β
Jiang Ying was stunned.
"Are you a soldier under Prince Xilingying?" She blurted out.
ββ¦β¦ At last. The uncle nodded and smiled very calmly.
"What do you mean? Is it or not? If so, then how can you be here alone? Don't know the way back? Hua Changjing has always been more sensitive than Jiang Ying in this regard, and she feels a little suspicious. Finally turned around and asked.
"I have just come from Xiling, and I have been sent a messenger to the prince by the edict of the king of Xiling, who has been rushing for several days, and I have been tired of the dust and dust, so I have cleaned up here so that I can meet the prince face to face. Because he was born to distinguish between north and south, and there was no one to ask for directions outside the city, he couldn't find out where the Jin family military camp was on the map. The other party replied without hesitation, which made Hua Changjing doubt his belief.
"Girl, still don't believe me?" Uncle Rubbing is not angry. He put down the fish basket in his hand. Sure enough, he took out a letter from his bosom.
Jiang Lang's name is clearly marked on it, and it is also stamped with a red seal, which is really the general outline of the Xiling national seal that Jiang Ying has seen by chance.
The credibility is seventy or eighty percent.
Jiang Ying nodded quietly, and a flash of thought flashed in Hua Changjing's eyes.
She vaguely heard what Shi Qing said last night...... Xiling's reply should have reached something like that......
I don't know what the content of this reply is. It seems to be a lot of matter.
But such an important letter. Why did King Xiling find such an unreliable uncle to send it......?
Or even born to distinguish between north and south?
Hua Changjing looked Uncle Rubbing the bath up and down a few times with a complicated face.
"At first a team was sent to escort the letter. But I accidentally got separated on the road, and I came to Yunzhou alone by asking for directions. The uncle added.
Hua Changjing's eyelids jumped.
Xindao doesn't look like anything special, but he knows how to figure out other people's minds invisibly. She was just a look, and he immediately guessed her doubts...... It's not easy.
"We can show you the way." Hua Changjing weighed it, and finally agreed, but only put forward one condition.
"But you must promise me not to tell anyone about todayβ" she said, looking at the bathing uncle.
The uncle's expression was a little dazed, and when he fell into Jiang Ying's eyes, he actually felt a little cute.
She coughed and kindly explained, "It's just that we stumbled upon you bathing in the river." β
This is not a big deal in the first place, not to mention that since this uncle came from the Xiling Kingdom where the people are open, it must be even more inappropriate.
Sure enough, he showed a puzzled look, but he didn't ask too much, and agreed with his mouth.
After all, the point is to ask directions, and there is no time to ask these irrelevant questions.
The two sides reached an agreement on this, Hua Changjing put his heart back in his stomach, the uncle also found the person to lead the way, and Jiang Ying effortlessly got a basket of fish, so on the way back, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
It's just that Hua Changjing still doesn't want to see this uncle too much, or he is still angry about his previous blush, so he deliberately walked faster and led the way in the forefront.
And Jiang Ying, who couldn't walk too fast because of injuries on her body, became the object of a chat with Uncle Yu who took a bath and sent fish.
"You wind country, the girl also goes to the battlefield to fight?" The uncle asked a question that he had been wondering about for a long time.
Jiang Ying shook her head.
"Then why do you two girls stay in the barracks?"
This point was inferred from Hua Changjing's request that he not be allowed to inform others about the crash in the bath.
If he wasn't in the barracks, why bother if he was preaching around in the barracks?
Ahem, though he wouldn't be so boring.
"We......" Jiang Ying thought for a while and replied, "We don't fight, we are family members." β
"Family?" The uncle repeated, feeling fresh.
Fighting a war and bringing a family with you?
Hua Changjing, who was walking in front, almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Dependents......?
Isn't this title really too unreserved?
"How are you going to eat this fish when you take it back?" The uncle changed the topic and pointed to the fish basket that Jiang Ying had to hold in his arms as if he were a baby.
Caught off guard, I saw the wounded cloth tightly tied on Jiang Ying's two wrists.
This little girl who claims to be a family member, her face is covered with wounds, but she really looks like she has just come down from a battle......
"Boil soup and drink-" As soon as it was mentioned to eat, Jiang Ying became energetic and said with great interest: "There are four tails in total, you can use two tails to make soup, and the remaining two tails can be used to make spicy fish fillets...... Such a fresh fish, it tastes so good! β
Uncle Rubbing the Bath was so appetized by what she said, he asked, "Can you let me taste it then?" β
Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had caught this fish, since he had brought it up, it was not good for him to eat alone, so he nodded generously and agreed.
The uncle laughed twice, looking very happy.
β¦β¦
"Princess Dongzhu is back......"
In front of the barracks, the soldiers saw a fierce horse galloping from a distance, and they were already on guard, and when the horse came to them, they could see the person on the horse.
Dongzhu turned over and dismounted, and the soldiers bowed and saluted.
"Where are Prince Ying and the second son?" Dongzhu asked urgently.
She knew that Jiang Ying's living in the camp was something that a few little guards could understand, so she asked Jiang Lang and Jin Qi directly.
"Prince Ying has just left the camp, and the deputy marshal should talk in General Ying's tent." The soldier replied.
When Dongzhu heard this, he immediately threw away the reins in his hand and strode in the direction of the commander's camp.
At this moment, what came out of the commander's camp was General Ying's sigh.
"In any case, the second son's move is too impulsive!" He sighed.
Although Jin Qi did not explain the cause and effect to him in detail, according to his report, Jin Qi ordered a new tent to be vacated last night to house a girl who was suspected of being injured, and the news that Prince Ying had also visited him many times, he also roughly guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight.
Young man, he is jealous for a woman, he has seen too many such things.
Because this woman's identity seems to be special, he has not yet clarified who she is, so it is inconvenient to comment more for the time being, but he can't help but be a little disappointed in his heart.
He thought that Jin Qi was a calm person who knew the severity.
How could you faint for a mere woman?
But I was always a little unsure in my heart, so I asked people to ask Jin to come over frequently this morning, but all I got back was "the second son is still with that girl"......
For whom, who can not be angry?
General Ying originally planned to be angry to the end, but when Jin Qi asked people to come back and say that he would come over to ask for guilt later, most of the anger in his heart was extinguished.
When the person really came to the tent to plead guilty, seeing that his face was serious, the remaining half disappeared......
He used to be very principled......
Probably because of old age, right?
After General Ying persuaded himself, after listening to Jin Qi's calm and rational analysis, he gradually realized an astonishing fact: before Jin Qi ordered people to punish Jin Mi heavily, he had already thought of the possible consequences of this matter, even more specific, detailed, and comprehensive than he thought.
But even so, he did it.
If he hadn't believed that his vision of seeing people would never be wrong, he would really have believed that Jin Qi was dizzy for a woman.
So...... I'm afraid there is something that can't be said, and ...... Reliance which he does not know.
General Ying glanced at Jin Qi deeply, and saw that his face was still calm and did not speak, and he was about to speak meaningfully, but he heard a sudden announcement outside the tent.
β¦β¦
