Yan Zixi frowned slightly, looked at the shopkeeper and shopkeeper in front of him with a flattering face, and couldn't help asking.

"Shopkeeper, Xiao Er, you are ......"

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and smiled: "Oh, Doctor Yan, that's the case, I was fortunate to have you yesterday and saved me, so I specially asked the kitchen to prepare a table of wine and food for you today, as a thank you for it!" ”

"Huo, is that good?"

The so-called nothing is diligent, either treacherous or thief. Yan Zixi suddenly became vigilant.

"Shopkeeper, don't bluff me! Shouldn't I have finished eating, and you will come to me again to ask for money? ”

"Oh, Doctor Yan, how could it be! The grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, if you hadn't helped me yesterday, I and this store would not have been able to save it, how could I dare to harm you! ”

Saying that, the shopkeeper took out ten taels of silver from his arms and handed them to Yan Zixi.

"Shopkeeper, why did I eat your food, but you came to give me money instead?" The more Yan Zixi thought about it, the more confused she became, and she couldn't understand why the attitude of this shopkeeper had changed so much.

Even if he really saved him, he wouldn't be so polite, right?

Businessmen are all profit-seeking, and the truth has remained unchanged since ancient times, Yan Zixi doesn't believe that this shopkeeper will have such a good heart.

The shopkeeper saw that Yan Zixi was puzzled, so he explained to her: "Doctor Yan, didn't you pay a deposit of ten taels when you stayed at our inn before?" Therefore I will pay you back the money first. ”

"Oh? Don't want a deposit? Shopkeeper, isn't this your style? Yan Zixi said suspiciously.

"Hahahaha, it should be."

"Aren't you afraid that I won't give money and leave directly?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately laughed: "No, how can such a powerful person as Doctor Yan be able to repay his debts!" What's more, someone has already paid for you. ”

"What?! Has anyone paid me? ”

I said, why did the shopkeeper who slammed the door suddenly become generous, and he returned the deposit, and he prepared wine and food, and he had been doing it for a long time, and he had already received the benefits.

Yan Zixi became more and more puzzled in her heart, it seemed that someone was taking care of these things for herself along the way, who was so kind?

"Shopkeeper, who is that man, have you seen his appearance?"

"I've seen it!"

"Really? Tell me, what does that man look like? Yan Zixi was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, and she must thank that person later.

The shopkeeper showed a hint of surprise, "Doctor Yan, it's the son from yesterday!" What, didn't he tell you? ”

"Yesterday's son—you mean the Four Emperors...... Young Master Yuyan? ”

"Yes, yes, that's him! That boy should be to repay Doctor Yan for saving his life, so he specially wants to entertain you! ”

"Okay......" Yan Zixi was slightly disappointed when she learned that it was Xiao Yuyan, the fourth prince.

Originally, she thought that she could know the person who had been secretly helping her, but she didn't expect to be wrong.

Xiao Yuyan and that person are definitely not alone, when she left from Ningcheng County, she didn't know anyone, so it would definitely not be Xiao Yuyan who dotted him along the way.

But who would it be?

The puzzle was once again entangled in Yan Zixi's mind, lingering.

At this time, the stomach screamed uncontrollably.

Forget it, don't think about it, don't think about it, I'll see you again.

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi waved her hand at the shopkeeper and Xiao Er, "Since it was sent by the young master Yuyan, then I can't brush off the kindness of others, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er hurry up and serve the food!" ”

"Come on! Doctor Yan, please here! ”

……

The capital, outside the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

A carriage stopped on the side of the road, Gonggong Li stretched his waist, got off the carriage, and then gently opened the curtain and said with a smile.

"Master Hou, we're here!"

"Hmm!"

A majestic, magnetic man's voice came from the carriage.

Immediately, a handsome man in a gorgeous costume got out of the carriage with the support of Gonggong Li.

If Yan Zixi was here, she would definitely be able to recognize that the man in a gorgeous costume was none other than Xiao Jingcong.

As soon as Xiao Jingcong got out of the carriage, the two teams of guards in front of the general's mansion ran over, knelt in front of Xiao Jingcong, and said in greeting.

"See Master Hou!"

"It's all up!" Xiao Jingcong raised his hand and motioned for everyone to get up, "During my absence, nothing happened in the house, right?" ”

The captain of the guard at the head heard Xiao Jingcong's inquiry, and hurriedly replied.

"Back to the Hou Ye, everything is fine, it's just ......"

"It's just something, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"It's just that a country woman has come to the house in the past few days, Mrs. Xiao is very angry with her, and the little Marquis Jingrui has also been injured by the sharp object, and is now recuperating in the house."

"What? Take me there! ”

"Yes!"

The captain of the guard nodded, and took Xiao Jingcong into the mansion.

Xiao Jingcong suddenly remembered something, turned around and glanced at Gonggong Li, and instructed him: "Gonggong Li, the salute will be handed over to you, and it will be sent to my house later." ”

"Yes, Master Hou!"

……

Xiao Jingcong followed the captain of the guard, ran all the way, and came to the house of the little prince of Jingrui, and saw several maids guarding the door.

When those maids saw Xiao Jingcong coming back, they were pleasantly surprised, and they each bowed down to him.

"I've seen the major general!"

"No need to be polite, hurry up, where is my mother and my brother?"

"Madame is taking care of Jingrui's little prince in the house, and the slave is going to ask you to report!"

"No, I'll do it myself."

"Yes!"

The maid respectfully retreated to the sides, and at this time there was a coughing sound in the room.

"Xiaoyu, who told you to shout outside? I don't know if the little prince needs to recuperate? cough cough cough cough ~~~"

The maid Xiaoyu was just about to open her mouth to explain, but Xiao Jingcong made a silent gesture at him, Xiaoyu nodded and did not answer.

Xiao Jingcong then gently pushed the door open, and then saw his mother sitting next to the bed and taking care of his younger brother Xiao Jingrui.

He saw that his mother's brows were tightly knit and the clouds were full of sorrow, and then he looked at his younger brother, who was pale and bloodless, and suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart.

"Who let you in, didn't this palace say that no one can come in and disturb without my order? Get out of here! ”

Mrs. Xiao didn't look back, still wiping the sweat on her forehead for Jingrui, and scolded impatiently.

After waiting for a while, but still didn't hear the sound of the door closing, Mrs. Xiao was suddenly a little annoyed, and was about to get angry, when she turned around, she was immediately stunned when she saw that it was Xiao Jingcong.

"Jing...... Jingcong, my son, you are finally back! ”

When Mrs. Xiao saw Xiao Jingcong, she immediately got up from the bed and threw herself into Xiao Jingcong's arms, and the mother and son were teary-eyed.

"Mother, I made you suffer!"

"My Cong'er, you're back!" Mrs. Xiao wiped the tears from her eyes and said with some excitement.

Xiao Jingcong took Mrs. Xiao's hand, came to the rattan chair and sat down, and then asked with concern.

"Mother, what happened? Brother, why did he get hurt so badly? Also, I heard from the guards that there is a wild girl who has been coming to the door to make trouble lately, but is there such a thing? ”

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she immediately vented her bitterness in front of Xiao Jingcong.

She told Xiao Jingcong what had happened in the past few days, especially Yan Zixi's affairs, and she took the trouble to add fuel and vinegar, portraying her as a yaksha from hell.

But she didn't mention that she had saved Jingrui.

When Xiao Jingcong heard this, he was immediately furious.

"How can this be reasonable, such an arrogant and unreasonable wild girl, driven out of the general's mansion, mother, why should you be angry with such a person?"

"Oh, Cong'er, don't you know, that wild girl doesn't know where to get a marriage certificate from our General's Mansion, and she relies on our General's Mansion, and she still wants to marry you......"

"Is there such a thing? Mother, have you read the marriage book? But really? Xiao Jingcong frowned slightly and asked.

Mrs. Xiao shook her head, "That wild girl has a very bright mind, and she won't say anything and show it to me, saying that she is afraid that I will destroy it, and she wants your father to see it." Your father is busy with politics every day, and I didn't bother him with this little thing. ”

"So, you're not sure if the marriage certificate is real or fake?" Xiao Jingcong seemed to think of something, and asked curiously.

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she hurriedly diverted the topic, "Cong'er, don't care if the marriage letter is true or not, it is absolutely impossible for my mother to let a wild girl of unknown origin marry into our general's mansion, so, Cong'er, you don't have to worry about this matter, my mother will help you solve it properly." ”

Xiao Jingcong nodded, "Well, I know, mother." But mother, don't be too embarrassed about other girls, give him some money and two to send away, so that she can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. ”

"Hey, do you think I didn't say that?" As soon as Mrs. Xiao thought of that day, the anger in her heart couldn't help but be ignited again.

"That stinky girl, it's so hateful! Not only did he not want a penny, but he also scolded your mother, and said that he would never give up this marriage, listen, listen, isn't this purely a scoundrel? ”

When Xiao Jingcong heard this, she smiled heartily, "Oh, in this way, that girl didn't come for money?" ”

"Hmph, it's not like that! But maybe they're here for our general's mansion! You must know that once you get married, this life is inexhaustible in glory and wealth, maybe the wild girl is just a trick to catch and indulge! ”

"Unlikely, right? How can a girl from the countryside have such scheming? Xiao Jingcong was a little unconvinced.

Xiao Jingcong said earnestly: "Cong'er, you have been fighting abroad before, and you don't understand the horror of those women, let me tell you, some women's scheming is profound!" ”

"Mother, why does this sound like you're talking about yourself?"
