Chapter 136: Do You Want to Marry Her?
Kaifeng, formerly Bianzhou, hundreds of years ago was the place where the Later Liang was located, the back of the Northern Song Dynasty was set as the down payment of the world, Emperor Anwu changed the dynasty to call the emperor, with three years to dominate the Southern Song Dynasty when the world 16 roads, Kaifeng Prefecture governed 11 counties, Kaifeng County for Kuo County.
Yu Shu and they arrived in the big county town by car the next morning, and on the way they had already eaten the dry food given by the villagers, and several people were now hungry and tired.
She found a shady place, asked Yu Xiaoxiu to stay and wait with Jingchen, and took Xia Mingming with her, asking all the way to find the money village.
When exchanging the silver ticket, it took a lot of twists and turns, there is no shortage of things that look down on people everywhere, the silver ticket of five hundred taels is not a small amount, two young people in tattered clothes come to withdraw it, there is no doubt, if it is not for Yu Shu's tough attitude, I am afraid that if I show a little weakness, I will be regarded as a thief and sent to see the official.
After exchanging a small amount of one hundred taels of tickets and two bags of broken silver, Yu Shu and Xia Mingming rented a carriage directly on the street, picked up Jingchen and Yu Xiaoxiu at the city gate, found a big inn with a good reputation in the city, and asked for two upper rooms.
There is silver, it is easy to talk everywhere, and he threw a piece of broken silver as a tip, Xiao Er bowed his head and led them into the inner courtyard, up to the second floor, and it was past noon at this time.
In the first-class guest room with two taels of silver and one night, there are screen chairs and beds, wardrobes and desks, everything, two doors into the room, one hall and one room, two beds in the room, one master and one servant, the bedding is newly replaced, there are flower pots in front of the bed, and a pink and white hibiscus.
Yu Shu saw the pot of flowers and thought it was interesting, the hibiscus was placed in the south, it was a feng shui practice, which was used for neutralization, and it seemed that this inn was very good at doing business.
"Boil two buckets of hot water for bathing, bring them to your room, and then go and cook your signature dishes on the table, and the wine will be gone." Yu Shu instructed the little two.
"Yes, objectively, you can rest first, and the small ones will be sent to you later."
As soon as Xiao Er left, Xia Mingming couldn't wait to throw himself on the big bed, rolled on the soft back, and moaned: "It's so comfortable, I'm going to sleep for two days and two nights!" ”
Yu Shu smiled, hung the leather bag that played a big role in surviving in the forest on the head of the bed, and said to her: "I'll go outside to buy a few sets of clothes and come back, and you will eat first when the next meal is delivered." ”
Hearing this, Xia Mingming immediately sat up from the bed: "I'll go with you." ”
She was still wearing the same clothes that she had changed when she was rescued by Yu Shu from the bilge, and she had been wearing them for half a month, and she smelled musty, and she had long wanted to change her clothes.
"No, if you're tired, just lie down for a while, and I'll go." Yu Shu said, took off the ancient sword wrapped in rags on his back, put it at the end of the bed, and went out with only silver.
Xia Mingming looked at her back, until he heard her door closing, he reached out to cover his beating heart, turned around and lay back on the bed, pounded the pillow, and whispered:
"Ahh
Yu Shu asked the shopkeeper of the inn, found a ready-to-wear shop in an alley on the opposite street, bought a few sets of brand-new clothes from the inside to the outside, and practiced shoes and socks without falling.
Yu Shu kicked the door, it was not Xia Mingming who came to open the door, but Yu Xiaoxiu, not long after Yu Shu left, Yu Xiaoxiu came to find her next door, and it happened that Xiao Er sent food over, so he went to call Jingchen Dao here and waited for Yu Shu to come back to eat.
"Quick, quick, get it for me." Yu Shu stuffed half of the things in his hand for Yu Xiaoxiu, Xia Mingming also came up to help, and the three of them piled their clothes on the couch in the living room and made a bed scattered.
Xia Mingming excitedly rummaged through it, and found that there was no skirt in it, it was all long clothes and trousers, so he turned his head and said to Yu Shu with an unkind face:
"Why didn't you buy my clothes?"
Yu Shu bent down and flipped through them, took out two pieces and handed them to her: "Oh, yours." ”
Xia Mingming frowned: "How is it men's clothing." ”
"Of course, it's for the convenience of the road," Yu Shu said.
Xia Mingming pouted: "I don't care, I want to wear a skirt." ”
In the end, it's a girl, dressing up as a man is just a novelty for a while, and then it's a last resort, and now I have the opportunity to wear a beautiful skirt again, of course, I don't want to dress up like a rough man anymore.
"Either change it or you don't." Yu Shu didn't have a temper to get used to her, stuffed the clothes into her hands, took the wet hand towel handed by Yu Xiaoxiu to wipe the sweat on his hands and face, and sat down at the table to eat.
The meal was a little cold, but it tasted just right in summer, Yu Shu had a bowl of rice for a short time, and when he saw that Jingchen didn't move his chopsticks, he tore open a fragrant chicken leg clip and gave it to him, saying:
"Eat quickly, take a bath and sleep when you're done, and then I'll find Lang Zhong for you."
When Xia Mingming saw it, he hurriedly dropped his clothes and ran over, "I want to eat chicken legs too!" ”
"No," Yu Shu stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth and slurred his words: "Hmm, you eat chicken neck." ”
Xia Mingming turned to look at the chicken leg in Jingchen's bowl, stretched out the bowl and threatened, "Give me the chicken leg." ”
Jing Chen glanced up at her, picked up the chicken leg that Yu Shu simply clamped for him, lowered his head and took a bite on it, and then looked up at Xia Mingming, with a simple gaze clearly written 'This is mine'.
Xia Mingming's teeth were itching, and he silently thought in his heart not to worry about the dumb man, and when he turned around, he wanted to tear the chicken wings, but found that the two wings had been occupied by Yu Xiaoxiu one by one, and the oily roast chicken was only left with a chicken butt and chicken neck except for the chest frame.
"You're all in love with me." Xia Mingming sat down aggrievedly, pulling the rice with chopsticks, full of resentment.
Yu Shu and the others were not affected by her emotions, how could there be so much nonsense when they were hungry, they swept the delicious food on the table in an uproar, leaned on the back of the chair with their stomachs, and under the table, Jinbao used their round belly to lie on a plate that had been eaten up.
Yu Shu saw that Xia Ming looked sullen, and was still unhappy that he didn't eat the chicken legs, so he said: "Okay, isn't it just a chicken leg, I'll buy it for you at night." ”
"Who is rare." Xia Mingming snorted lightly, but her face was gloomy, she was not a rare chicken leg, but she wanted people to care.
After a full meal, Xiao Er and the guys in the inn carried hot water upstairs and sent them to the two rooms respectively, Yu Shu urged Yu Xiaoxiu and Jing Chen to go back to the room to take a bath, but they were stopped by Jing Chen at the door.
Yu Shu saw that she had something to say, so he stretched out his hand and saw that she wrote on it:
"Are you going to marry Miss Xia?"
"Ahem," Yu Shu almost coughed up a mouthful of blood, "Why should I marry her?" ”
Jing Chen's expression became serious, and he lowered his head and continued to write on her hand:
"Last time you said that the girl's body can't be shown to men, and if you see it, you will marry her, if you take a bath with her and sleep together, don't you want to marry her?"
On the boat, when Yu Shu rescued Xia Mingming from the bilge that day, in order to ventilate her, he undressed her, and asked Jingchen and Yu Xiaoxiu to avoid it at that time, he said such a thing, Jingchen didn't know what Lu Dao meant by "marrying" at that time, and later spent those days in the forest, and remembered to ask, Yu Shu went out of Lu to hunt birds and was not in the cave, so he asked Yu Xiaoxiu.
Yu Xiaoxiu is only a half-grown child, where can he make it clear, just tell him that marrying means that a man and a woman get married, and the man supports the woman, they eat together, sleep together, sleep in the same bed, cover the same quilt, and have children to live together for a lifetime.
After Jingchen lost his memory, although he did not understand world affairs, Shan Tingyu Xiaoxiu said that he probably understood that "getting married" was a matter of great opinion.
They were sleeping in the middle of the forest for half a month, they were all sleeping in the open, no bed and no quilt, and now they are staying in the inn, and the room is divided, there is a bed and a quilt, Jingchen saw that Yu Shu and Xia Mingming were in the same room, and they had to take a bath together, so they asked this.
This is a very simple question, Yu Shu can answer him with just one sentence, but she is stumped.
She looked at Jingchen with a complicated expression, not knowing how to answer.
Whether it was before or after the amnesia, she never told Jingchen that she was a woman, she deliberately concealed it before, and then pushed the boat down the river.
At first, it was for the convenience of taking care of him, men and women were always different, there were many people on the boat, and later there was a Xia Mingming in the woods, and finally she and Xia Mingming made it clear, and they were busy on the road, so they never had the opportunity to explain it to Jingchen.
She has no guilt for cheating Xia Mingming, but she has an indescribable weakness for cheating Jing Chen, not for Jing Chen after the amnesia, but for him before the amnesia.
When she was still in Yiyang City, Jingchen was very honest to her, not only did she not hide his origin, but even told her the secret of his murder and crime Duxing, but she hid it from her, compared to Jingchen's sincerity, she seemed hypocritical.
In fact, whether she is a man or a woman, this is not a big problem, and it doesn't affect anything, but because of the previous deception of Jingchen, this matter has become difficult to talk about for some reason.
She is a woman who is good at lying, she can find an excuse to prevaricate him and continue to let him think of herself as a man, which is convenient for everyone, but in the face of Jingchen, who trusts and relies on her like this, looking at his clean and bright eyes, she just doesn't want to make up lies to deceive him:
"Jingchen, in fact, I'm—"
"Brother!" A shout interrupted Yu Shu's words, and Yu Xiaoxiu, who had been standing at the door to stop them talking, reached out and grabbed Yu Shu at this time, "I have something to say to you." ”
Jing Chen watched Yu Xiaoxiu pull the arc away in front of her, and wanted to follow, but Yu Xiaoxiu turned his head and shouted to stop: "Brother Jing, don't come here, let's whisper." ”
Jingchen stood still, watching the two of them disappear, Xia Mingming divided the change of clothes, came out of the inner room to find Yu Shu, saw Jingchen standing at the door, and asked:
"Where's Ah Shu?"
Jing Chen raised his finger and pointed ahead, Xia Mingming wanted to go over to look for it without thinking about it, but Jing Chen quickly reached out to block the front.
"What do you do?" Xia Mingming said unhappily.
Jingchen couldn't speak, so he stretched out his hand and spread it out in front of her, which read:
'Can't pass. ’
Xia Mingming's eyes rolled, and he stretched out his hand and pointed behind Jing Chen, "Ah Shu!" ”
Taking advantage of Jing Chen's turning of her head, she bent down and slipped out of him, Jing Chen looked back at her and ran away, stretched out her hand to pull her, and lifted her halfway, but fell back, because she remembered what Yu Xiaoxiu had said to him in private:
Men and women are not allowed to kiss, and men are not allowed to touch women casually.
