Chapter 5 The Old Man of Yangmen

The emperor suddenly thundered and ordered the prince to be locked up in the East Palace, and the ministers in the court privately speculated, most of them thought that the prince was more than lucky. But in the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, the prince is still the prince, and he is still the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the emperor will still order Li Jinzhong to inform the prince and ask for the prince's opinion. The courtiers gradually came back to their senses: dare to love this two men are playing a "bitter meat plan"!

Those who know a little bit of the inside story will retort with a matter: "The emperor did want to use the prince to privately transfer Jing Yuncong back to Beijing to depose him, but the queen's biological son Zhao Wang Li Pubian died of a violent illness shortly after the emperor disposed of the prince, which made the queen's temperament change greatly, and no longer forced the emperor to abolish the prince, but spoke for the prince, which preserved the position of the prince. "No matter what the rumors outside the palace are, the prince has really had a good life in the East Palace in the past six months: the two princes and concubines have become pregnant; The prince himself is also much fatter than half a year ago.

Lai Xing'er went to the East Palace stable on an errand and was very familiar with the old stableman Wu Xiaozhong. Wu Xiaozhong was originally a scholar, but because of the collapse of his family, he failed to rank first, and was forced to make a living, so he entered the palace as a stableman. He has been in the palace for a long time, after two dynasties, he knows a lot about the stories of the characters in the palace, and often invites Xing'er to his room in his spare time, warms the pot of wine, and stir-fries two side dishes. From Wu Xiaozhong's mouth, Lai Xing'er learned a lot of anecdotes and old things in the palace, and also understood a lot of rules in the palace.

Although the scale of the East Palace Stable is far less than that of the idle stable, there is an endless stream of people who usually come here to borrow horses with the official approval of the prince's inner square. Most of them were officers led by the prince's guard who came to borrow horses to convey military orders to the front-line armies. Lai Xing'er separated from the river and never saw Fu Yi again, and when he inquired about the officers who came to borrow horses, he learned that Fu Yi had been sent to the front line to lead the army to quell the rebellion. He couldn't help but envy Fu Yi, since he followed Fu Yi to the river, although he returned to the capital and was imprisoned for a few days without explanation, Lai Xing'er was still full of yearning for the military camp life of Jin Ge Iron Horse. Thinking of Fu Yi, Lai Xing'er often thinks of Luo San'er, I don't know how my eldest brother is doing with his big brother who wipes his nose and tears at every turn? He had asked Jinping, who often went to the stable to find him to play, and tried to inquire about Luo San'er's current situation, but now a few months have passed, but there is no news at all.

The horses in the stables were constantly in and out, and only two horses were never borrowed. According to Wu Xiaozhong, these two are real purebred sweat and blood horses, which can travel thousands of miles a day, one of them is the prince's car, and the other is the horse of the eldest prince Li Qi. After coming to the stable, he never saw the two horses leave the stable, he was worried that the horses would not slip for a long time, and they would get sick, so he mentioned to Wu Xiaozhong many times that he wanted to find a place to slip the two horses, but each time Wu Xiaozhong sternly refused. Wu Xiaozhong said very clearly: "These two horses know their masters, except for the prince and the eldest prince, no one can control them." ”

Jing Xuan was sorry for Lai Xing'er being sent to the stable for his own sake, and when Wang Bao'er saw something different, he was transferred to Ning Xiangxuan on an errand, which made Jing Xuan think that he was a little too sensitive to Lai Xing'er's suspicions and temptations. Due to the queen's will, it was inconvenient for her to meet with Lai Xing'er, so she sent Jinping from time to time to bring some clothes and food to the stables to Lai Xing'er.

This year, the winter in Chang'an was very strange, and until the day of Laba, the weather was still very warm, and there were still a few green leaves hanging on the old locust tree next to the stable. And in the early morning of the next day, Lai Xing'er got up and opened the door, only to feel a cold air blowing in his face, snow flakes the size of acacia flowers flying all over the sky, and the silver makeup between heaven and earth had already become another world. He stepped on the soft snow on the ground and walked to the stable, and saw that Wu Xiaozhong had already gotten up and was busy putting on the coats on the horses, so he also hurriedly stepped forward to help. The old and young were busy in the stable, and vaguely heard someone knocking on the courtyard door, Wu Xiaozhong muttered: "On this snowy day, who is okay to come here early in the morning." Bian told Lai Xing'er to open the door.

Lai Xing'er opened the door and opened the courtyard door, and saw that there were Jing Xuan and Jinping master and servant outside the door. Lai Xing'er has not seen Jing Xuan for nearly half a year, at first glance, I only feel that Jing Xuan's body is fatter than when she first entered the palace, she seems to be very struggling, her face is pale, and the whole person is leaning on Jinping's body. Jinping was so anxious that he rushed to Xing'er and shouted: "Go and call someone, Niangniang wants to have a miscarriage." ”

Wu Xiaozhong rushed to hear the sound, and when he saw this situation, he didn't care about the suspicion of dignity and inferiority, men and women, so he hurriedly set up Jingxuan with Jinping and walked to the room, and turned around and told Lai Xing'er as he walked: "Go and report to the prince, and invite the imperial doctor to come quickly." ”

Coming to Xing'er's child's house, where did he see this formation, after listening to Wu Xiaozhong's words, he ran out in a panic, ran out of more than two miles in one breath, and when he passed by the East Palace Flower Workshop, he remembered that he didn't know where to find the prince at all. At this time, it was too late to go back and ask the prince where he lived, and in a hurry, he saw a small wooden house on the edge of the garden of Huafang, so he rushed to the door desperately, banged on the courtyard door with both hands, and shouted in his mouth: "Open the door quickly, save people." ”

After a long time, the door was opened with a "squeak", and an old woman with gray hair came out of the door, and asked angrily: "Who is this, what are you howling in the morning, so that the old woman can't sleep." ”

Lai Xing'er was so anxious that she was a little short of breath for a while, and said intermittently: "Prince Jing Concubine Niangniang's small birth stable"

The old woman didn't hear anything else, and when she heard Lai Xing'er say that someone had a miscarriage, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked in a thick voice: "You little eunuch, do you mean that someone has a miscarriage?" Where, quickly lead the old woman to take a look. ”

Lai Xing'er breathed a sigh of relief and said to the old woman: "I'm going to go to the prince to report that Concubine Jing has a miscarriage in the stable, please tell my mother-in-law where the prince is." ”

The old woman smiled and said, "Niangniang is so blessed, I asked you kid to knock on my door." I don't know where the prince is, but if you say that you deliver babies for others, it is the old woman's job, lead the way quickly, delay the hour, you can't afford it. ”

Lai Xing'er listened to her tone very firmly, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, but she was afraid that the snow would be slippery and the old woman would be inconvenient to walk, so she said, "I'll carry you away." ”

The old woman turned around and went back to the room, and after a while, she walked out with a burden in her hand, and said to Lai Xing'er unceremoniously: "Then you have to work, the mother and son are safe, and you have a share of credit." ”

Lai Xing'er carried the old woman back to the stable, Jing Xuan was lying on the bed, there was already a wet piece under her, Jinping half knelt in front of her, and kept wiping the cold sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief. Seeing that the fetal amniotic water had broken, the old woman shouted loudly at Wu Xiaozhong, who was standing outside the room: "Move the stove into the room, boil a large pot of water and prepare, and then the men will withdraw." ”

When everything was ready to stop, Wu Xiaozhong and Lai Xing'er retreated outside the room, and Wu Xiaozhong asked, "Who is she?" Lai Xing'er recounted the story of his lost journey and happened to meet the old woman, and the old woman volunteered to come to deliver the baby for Jing Xuan.

Wu Xiaozhong was angry and anxious, but there was no other way to find the current situation, he lowered his head and thought about it, and said to Lai Xing'er: "You go to Qixia Pavilion immediately, ask more palace maids to wait there, and at the same time ask the attendants there to report the matter of Niangniang's miscarriage to the prince as soon as possible." ”

When the prince got the report and rushed to the stable in the snow, it was almost noon. Because the upper room where Wu Xiaozhong lived had been temporarily used as a delivery room, Shang Jing, who came with the prince, had to lead the prince to sit in the side room where Xing'er lived. Without waiting for the prince to ask, Shang Jing smiled and said to the prince: "The right slave has obtained the letter, and Jing Niangniang has added a princess to the prince." ”

The prince scolded with a smile: "You old minion, you are used to begging for jackpots, so you call the people from Qixia Pavilion to come in and talk back." ”

In the past six months, although the number of times the prince has been to Qixia Pavilion is far less than that of Ning Xiangxuan, because Jing Xuan has never competed with Wanrong for favor, and he and the prince were old acquaintances when they quelled the rebellion, the two got along quite well. Jinping often accompanies Jing Xuan, and the prince is quite familiar with her, so when she was called into the room, the prince pretended to be angry and said: "On this snowy day, your master and servant are not serving in Qixia Pavilion, what are you doing here?" ”

Jinping saw the prince angry for the first time, so he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and said with a trembling voice: "Miss got up early today, and when she saw that it was snowing, she had to take the maid outside to watch the snow. God bless, Miss Fuda, met a noble person, and kept the mother and daughter safe. ”

"Where is the noble man in this stable? Shang Jing, quickly invite the noble person in. ”

Shang Jing glared at Jinping, and replied with a smile on his face: "The slave heard the old Wu Tou of the stable say that it was an unknown old woman who gave birth to Jing Niangniang, I don't know what the Jinping girl said is her?" ”

"Exactly. It's just that she's gone. ”

The more the prince listened, the more bizarre he became: "This ice and snow, where did an old stable woman come from, tell me, what does she look like?" ”

Jinping tried hard to recall the appearance of the old woman, and said thoughtfully: "Look at the costume is a subordinate, speaking in a rough voice, like a man"

Shang Jing couldn't help but joke with her: "Girl, this kind of rough mother-in-law you said is everywhere, teach me where to find it?" ”

Jinping really couldn't think of anything special about the old woman's appearance, so she said: "She lives not far from here, and if you want to find her, ask Lai Xing'er." ”

The prince was in a good mood when he learned that Jing Xuan's mother and daughter were in danger, and he wanted to make a joke with Jinping, but who knew that a mysterious old woman was involved, and he listened to Jinping's seriousness, so he instructed Shang Jing: "Call that Xing'er, and the palace will ask him in person." ”

Lai Xing'er sent the old woman back to the residence, and had just returned to the stable. He was about to go back to the room to change into clean clothes, but he saw two guards with knives standing outside his door, and he was surprised, and a fat eunuch in brocade clothes walked out of the room, and shouted at him: "Come to Xing'er, the prince has something to ask you." ”

Lai Xing'er didn't know how the fat eunuch recognized him, so he walked into the room. Seeing that Lai Xing'er was covered in muddy water, the prince waved his hand and said, "Go and change your clothes and come to see me again." ”

Lai Xing'er entered the East Palace, it was the first time to see the prince, listening to his gentle words, he boldly pointed to a stack of clothes stacked at the head of the bed, and said, "My clothes are all here." ”

The prince was quite surprised and asked Shang Jing, "Is this kid also on an errand in the stable?" ”

Shang Jing hurriedly said: "If you return to your master, Lai Xing'er was originally waiting for Concubine Jing's mother, but because of her mistakes, she was transferred to the stable half a year ago. ”

After he said this, the prince suddenly said: "Was he the one who was sent by Xuan'er half a year ago to go to the river with Fu Yi?" ”

Shang Jing complimented: "Master's memory is really good, it is him." At that time, Qingning Palace sent a message to the slave that Xing'er was not allowed to return to his mother to wait, and the slave thought that he was feeding the horses in the idle stable, so he sent him here. He turned back and scolded Lai Xing'er and said, "Quickly take the clothes, find a place to change and then talk back." ”

At this time, the imperial doctor who came with the prince entered the house to do something, and Lai Xing'er picked up a piece of clothing and ran out.

The imperial doctor said: "The official has only taken a closer look, although the princess was born in less than a month, but there is no big problem, but the mother is weak after giving birth, and it is not suitable for the wind, I am afraid that I will have to stay here for some time." ”

The crown prince frowned: "It's so dirty and cramped here, how can you make it?" ”

The imperial doctor kowtowed and said: "This time the mother is pregnant and gave birth in less than seven months, and it is a blessing that the mother and daughter are safe, and there must be no more accidents." According to the opinion of the lower officials, although it is unbearable here, if you choose a competent person and wait well, the lower official will prescribe a prescription to replenish qi and blood, and give the mother a service on time, and within forty or fifty days, the mother's body will be restored as before. ”

The prince nodded, and instructed Shang Jing: "Then do what the imperial doctor says, move the horses here to other places, and select a few clean servants who have given birth to children to wait here. Speaking of this, he saw Lai Xing'er who had changed his clothes and walked into the house, and added: "Call Lai Xing'er to stay for the time being, responsible for guarding the door, delivering news, and waiting. ”

Before Lai Xing'er understood what was going on, he was urged by Shang Jing to kowtow and thank him.

The prince then asked Lai Xing'er: "Is the old woman who delivered the baby to Niangniang live in the palace?" ”

Lai Xing'er replied, "Yes, the little one sent her back to her lodgings, and it was only two miles away from the stable." ”

The prince instructed Jinping: "You and Lai Xing'er quickly go and invite this old woman, this palace doesn't know that there are such skilled people in the East Palace." ”

The imperial doctor also said on the side: "Yes, the lower official also wants to ask her for a lesson or two in person." ”

Jinping and Lai Xing'er went in a hurry, and they came back quickly. The old woman was busy for a long time, and just after returning to the wooden house where she lived, she had just finished eating, and was lying on the bed and falling asleep in a daze, when she was dragged by Lai Xing'er to see the prince, holding back her unhappiness. When he saw the prince, he didn't give a courtesy, but stood straight in the room without saying a word.

The prince looked at the old woman familiarly, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen her, so he glanced at Shang Jing with an inquiring eye. Shang Jing had an unforgettable ability to remember the people of all colors in the East Palace, and said almost without thinking: "Aren't you the Xia Pozi of Huafang, you are the one who delivered the baby to the mother?" ”

The old woman heard Shang Jing say her surname, and saw that the prince kept looking herself up and down, she didn't pay attention to Shang Jing, and only said coldly to the prince: "The old body has not seen the prince for many years, no wonder the prince doesn't remember the old body anymore." As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised: this was like the tone of an ordinary person, and it was clearly a person with a very good background.

The prince obviously remembered something at this time, but he still couldn't believe that the rough-skinned and wrinkled old woman in front of him was the same person as the person he thought of, and asked hesitantly, "Are you Mama Xia?" Have you stayed in the palace for so many years? ”

When the old woman saw that the prince really recognized herself, her heart was sour, and she shed two tears, whimpering and saying: "Yes, the old man has received the great kindness of the two mothers, how can he be willing to leave this East Palace." ”

The prince excitedly stepped forward and hugged the old woman, and the two of them cried bitterly despite the presence of everyone.

Seeing this, Lai Xing'er was very curious, quietly retreated to the courtyard, and asked Wu Xiaozhong in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, who is Mama Xia?" ”

Wu Xiaozhong hurriedly pulled Xing'er to the stable, saw that there was no one nearby, and then said: "I heard that the prince's biological mother, Concubine Wu Xian, had a companion mother known as the 'goddess doctor' by her side, who was good at treating various diseases, and Concubine Wu Xian was the first to get pregnant and give birth among the emperor's concubines. Later, the crown princess married into the East Palace, she was the niece of Concubine Wu Xian, and Concubine Wu Xian sent the divine doctor to wait by the princess, hoping that the princess could give birth to the prince as early as she did. Speaking of this, Wu Xiaozhong suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, stopped abruptly, and glanced at Lai Xing'er uneasily.

Lai Xing'er didn't pay attention to the other meaning of Wu Xiaozhong's words, and clapped his hands and shouted: "No wonder the prince is so close to her." Hey, Uncle Shi, why did you say that it was such a coincidence today that I met her and saved Concubine Jing Niangniang. ”

Wu Xiaozhong stroked his beard and sighed: "Yes, this is called Jiren's own heavenly help." I didn't think she was still alive. ”

Lai Xing'er suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Since she is a miracle doctor, why is she raising flowers and plants in the flower shop now?" Do you want to keep it a secret from the prince? ”

Wu Xiaozhong didn't know how to answer, so he had to feign anger and said: "The matter in the palace, how can you ask about it casually as a child?" Don't hurry back to the house and wait carefully in front of the prince. ”

Lai Xing'er was driven by a strong curiosity, and also wanted to hear what the prince and Mama Xia were saying, so she made a grimace at Wu Xiaozhong and returned to the house with her hands and feet.

In the house, the prince and Mama Xia were sitting side by side on Lai Xing'er's small wooden bed, and the prince was giving Shang Jing instructions. Seeing that no one noticed him, Lai Xing'er quietly came to Jinping and stood down, pricked up his ears to listen, only to hear the prince say: "Qingning Palace, Zongzheng Temple, Dongyang County Mansion, these places must bring the letter before dark." Send someone to Ning Xiangxuan to send a message to Wanrong, asking her not to move around at will before the snow melts, so as not to hurt the fetus. Okay, let's stay and stay here, and the rest of the people will stand down for the time being. ”

Shang Jing agreed, and withdrew with the imperial doctor and Jinping. The prince looked apologetic and said to Mama Xia: "Mama has always been in the palace, and she must know a little about the current situation in the East Palace. Years ago, I was wronged and my grandmother temporarily lived in the same place, and I will send someone to take care of it when needed. Since Mama is destined for this child, she asks him to go to Mama's place every morning and evening to say goodbye, and if there is any sending, just tell him to do it. He also instructed Lai Xing'er: "Listen to Fu Yi, you are still doing your best, the palace will send you another messenger, what is going on in the future, you don't need to go through the inner fang, you can go directly to Yichun Palace to report to me." Did you hear me clearly? ”

Lai Xing'er didn't know anything, and replied while kowtowing to thank him: "Serving the Hou Niangniang and running errands for Mama are all small things that should be done, just ask the prince for permission, and after the mother recovers, let the little one go back to the stable on an errand, and the little one will be grateful." ”

Mama Xia listened to Lai Xing'er's words, and laughed: "Your kid is actually a person who doesn't know how to lift, it's good, it's very suitable for the old woman's spleen and stomach." ”

The prince was also made to cry and laugh by Lai Xing'er, stood up, and said to Mama Xia as he walked out: "I still have military affairs to go back to deal with, and I can't stay here for a long time." Since Mama likes it, she will have to teach him more in the future. ”

The news of Jing Xuan's early production spread, and the small stable suddenly became extremely lively. The emperor and the queen rewarded many things, and the princes and nobles of the capital saw that the position of the prince and prince was stable, and they took this opportunity to show favor to the prince, sending money and goods, recommending doctors and medicines, and asking for warmth.

Lai Xing'er helped Wu Xiaozhong move the horses in the stable to the newly opened stable in the camp led by the prince guard, and together with Jinping, he led the servants and eunuchs sent by Shang Jing to transform the stable into their temporary residence, and assigned errands to each of them.

Jing Xuan took more than a dozen pairs of blood and qi medicines prescribed by Mama Xia, and was carefully cared for by everyone, and his body recovered quickly. It's just that after the princess was born, the prince ordered someone to carry her to Qixia Pavilion to feed, Jing Xuan has not seen her daughter since she gave birth, and she is very worried in her heart. She was rescued by Mama Xia in time, so that she could save her life, and listened to Jinping Painting and Talking about the situation when the prince and Mama Xia recognized each other, she couldn't help but be grateful and curious, and often called Xing'er to invite Mama Xia to come and talk. Mama Xia saw that Jing Xuan was modest and generous, not like the ordinary concubines in the palace, and she also had a good impression of her. The two came and went, and they became old friends. Jing Xuan learned that Mama Xia lived alone, and invited her to move to Qixia Pavilion in the future many times, but every time Mama Xia smiled and did not answer, noncommittal, thinking of Jinping said that she and the prince were unusually close, Jing Xuan felt more and more that Mama Xia must have hidden many unknown secrets.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, as soon as it was dark, snow began to fall in the sky. Lai Xing'er was concerned about Mama Xia, asked someone to cook a plate of dumplings, warmed the pot of wine, said hello to Jinping, went out in the snow with the food box, and walked towards Mama Xia's cabin.

Coming to the door of the cabin, Lai Xing'er knocked on the door and shouted with a smile: "Mama, look what I have sent you." ”

But after knocking for a long time, I didn't hear a sound in the house. Lai Xing'er secretly wondered in her heart: Usually Mama is here at this time, but it is snowing again today, why did she go out? Thinking like this, he walked to the window and pulled the window sash with his hand, but he didn't expect the window to "squeak" and be pulled open by him. By the glimmer of light that remained outside, it was vaguely clear that the room was empty. Lai Xing'er put the food box aside, jumped into the room through the window, opened the door from the inside, and brought the food box in.

He lit the candle on the table with the fold of fire he had brought with him, looked around the room, and saw that the furnishings in the room were no different from usual, so he put down his snack a little. Waiting in the room for the first shift of the day, still not seeing Mama Xia come back, Lai Xing'er was a little anxious, he opened the door, and was about to look around, but saw two figures in the snow walking towards the cabin from a distance. Lai Xing'er became naughty for a while, and wanted to play a game of hide and seek with Mama Xia. He looked back at the room, and saw that only the bed was covered with a thick quilt, which could be hidden, so he quickly closed the door, lifted the quilt and got into the quilt.

After about a cup of tea, Lai Xing'er heard the sound of someone opening the door in the quilt, and then heard Mama Xia say to the people who came with her: "It must be that the kid who came here from Lai Xing'er, hey, the candle is still on, and he hasn't left yet." Lai Xing'er hid under the covers, trying to hold back his laughter, trying to see if they could see through his hiding place.

The person who came with her should be a woman much younger than Mama Xia, she seemed to be very anxious, lowered her voice and said: "Someone is here, I'd better leave quickly, don't you lose that thing?" ”

I only heard the sound of Suo Suo in the room, as if he was looking for something, and after a while, I heard Mama Xia say: "The thing is here, don't worry." But you can think about it, if you want to regret it after today, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

The woman who came with her said, "Don't worry, Mama, if something happens, I will take it all by myself, and I will never affect others." I'm leaving, you can rest early. ”

Lai Xing'er took advantage of Mama Xia to send the woman out, turned over and got out of bed, and sat down at the table, wanting to give her an unexpected surprise.

When Mama Xia returned to the house, she saw Lai Xing'er sitting in the room with a smile, she was startled, and hurriedly asked, "When did you come?" ”

Lai Xing'er didn't answer, but opened the food box, put the dumplings and wine inside on the table, and grinned at Mama Xia: "Eat quickly, I've been here for more than half an hour." ”

Mama Xia stepped forward and patted Lai Xing'er's little head, and pretended to be disgusted: "On this snowy day, it's not good to wait in front of the mother, and run out to wander around." I've already eaten it, so eat it yourself. ”

Lai Xing'er was reminded by Mama Xia, only to feel that her stomach was empty, and she was already hungry. He was not polite, grabbed a dumpling with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked vaguely while eating: "Mama, who came with you just now?" Why don't you come in and sit down and leave? ”

Mama Xia glanced at Xing'er vigilantly: "You have been in the house all the time, haven't you seen it?" ”

Lai Xing'er continued to stuff dumplings into her mouth and said with a smile: "Guess where I'm hiding?" ”

Mama Xia pointed to the bed with her hand: "You think I don't know?" Don't dirty my bed with your mud. Just now an old sister in my flower shop, I went to her house to drink some wine, and she was relieved that she had to send me back. Don't you really see that? ”

Lai Xing'er thought that when she was hiding in the quilt, she heard the voice of a young woman, but Mama Xia said that it was her old sister, could it be that she heard it wrong?

Mama Xia also sat down at the table, poured two glasses of wine, handed a glass to Lai Xing'er, sighed, and said, "This year, someone finally accompanies my old wife for the New Year." When Mama is gone in the future, will you think of Mama? ”

Lai Xing'er heard what Mama Xia said desolately, and hurriedly comforted: "If Mama doesn't dislike it, I will accompany you for the New Year every year in the future." Before I came, my mother asked me to invite you to come and eat soup cakes together at noon tomorrow. ”

Mama Xia raised her glass and drank it all, and said to Lai Xing'er with a little wine: "Concubine Jing is a good master, you have to treat her well, and you must not do anything to be sorry for her." ”

Lai Xing'er felt that she seemed to have something to say, recalling the unclear conversation between her and the woman who came to her just now, and she didn't know how to talk for a while, so she had to eat dumplings with her head bored.

Mama Xia drank five or six glasses of wine in a row, staggered to the door, opened the door, looked out, and turned back to Lai Xing'er and said, "You can stay here tonight, the snow is getting heavier and heavier." ”

Lai Xing'er ate a plate of dumplings left, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "That's not good, if there is a mistake on Niangniang's side, it will fall on my head." I'll go, I'll come back early tomorrow morning and carry you over. ”

Mama Xia leaned in front of the door and said sharply: "If you want to stay, you will stay, and you are not allowed to go anywhere tonight." ”

Lai Xing'er only said that she was old and lonely, and wanted to keep herself with her, so she smiled and discussed with her: "It's not too late now, otherwise I'll go back and talk to Jinping, and then come back to accompany you." Before the words fell, I felt that my head was heavy, my eyelids were astringent, my body couldn't support it, and I fainted on the table.
