Zhao Xian listened attentively, and there was a sound of small footsteps in the corridor, which seemed to be deliberately lightening his footsteps, and if he didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't feel it at all.

From far to near, when she walked to the door, the woman said softly: "Mother, is Zhao Xian awake?" ”

Mrs. An's face became more and more unnatural, and after carefully arranging her dress, she sat down on the small couch next to the bed, and said gently: "I'm already awake, don't worry." ”

"Really?!" Miss An was pleasantly surprised, entered the room with chicken soup, and was stunned when she saw Zhao Xian leaning on the edge of the bed and chuckling.

His voice was still hoarse, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and the redness and swelling of his eyes had not dissipated.

After experiencing the fear in the bandits, the nervousness when escaping, the despair after falling into the water, and the heartache of parting from life and death, and the ecstasy of seeing hope, she was already weak, and she had already reached the limit, and I don't know how this delicate body survived until now.

Seeing that the man woke up, safe and sound, but his complexion was a little weak, the last stone in the eldest lady's heart fell, her nose was sour, her beautiful eyes were hazy again, and her little hands trembled slightly, and she didn't know what to say.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. An sighed faintly, got up and took the wooden plate, and instructed: "Birou, he has woken up, but you will go down to rest, it's not good to be tired, hand it over to me here." ”

"I'm fine." An Birou's heart was pounding, she was busy hiding the strange look of her expression, her face was slightly red, she picked up the jade bowl from the wooden plate, bowed her head and said, "Mother, you have been busy for half the night." I'm afraid I'm tired, so I'll leave it to me here, so you should go and rest first. ”

When Mrs. An saw Birou's demeanor, she sighed and was annoyed in her heart, is this little thief here to harm my daughter? Yijun is kind-hearted and simple, and he was deceived by him, why did he even fall for the big girl who has always been sensible, and he didn't even listen to my words.

Mrs. An wanted to say something with her fragrant lips, but she, who is usually mature and wise, didn't know how to speak at this time.

Zhao Xian was already hungry, and when he saw the two of them, he asked each other to go down and rest first. Then he yelled, "Put the soup here." I have hands and feet, and I'm not in a vegetative state, so I can eat it myself, so you both go down and rest. ”

Count you as having a little conscience, Mrs. An nodded. Homeopathy: "Birou." Let's go back to our room and rest. I have something to tell you, he has hands and feet, and he can eat himself. ”

"Oh!" An Birou has no way to do it now. The cheeky skin was too embarrassed to stay, so he took the jade bowl to Zhao Xian's bed and put it down, a little shyness flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "You drink it well, if it's not enough to have it outside, this is what I stewed with my own hands, you don't have to dislike it." I, I'll go first. ”

"Got it, go ahead, go ahead." Zhao Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly, picked it up and took a sip in front of her, and Miss An left satisfied.

Zhao Xian looked at the chicken soup in his hand, his eyes blinked, and he was silent for a long time before he smiled silently and drank it by himself, but it was a pity that this chicken soup, which was full of color and flavor, suddenly became a little tasteless.

At this moment, there was a sound of the door opening and closing next door. This was Mrs. An's merchant ship, and in addition to handling affairs, it was natural to carry goods on the way, and the area for people to live in was large, and the two rooms were attached.

Zhao Xian drank two mouthfuls of chicken soup, he couldn't bear the loneliness and curiosity in his heart, got up lightly, walked to the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall and pretended to admire them. Said to be the wall, the material is just a wooden plank, the sound insulation effect is minimal, just approached, I heard the sound of undressing inside...

"Mother, what are you looking at me for?" An Birou's face was slightly red, and she put her folded clothes next to her pillow, sensing her lady's gaze, and unconsciously lowered her head.

This is the boudoir where Mrs. Ann lives, and the style is more elegant, with a few beautiful swords hanging on the wall to pass the time, and a thick stack of ledgers on the desk. In addition to this, there was a small basket by the window, in which were placed the needle and thread and the half-finished trousers, the only strange thing was that the dress seemed to be smaller, and the color was too flowery.

Mrs. An was dressed as before, and after putting the small basket in the cabinet, she sat down on the edge of the bed and said softly: "Birou, I have something to ask you." ”

What does the mother want to ask? Miss An's heart skipped twice, and she said strangely: "What are you polite to me?" Just say whatever you want. ”

Mrs. An told her, and after a long silence, Birou glanced at her secretly, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Mrs. An sighed and said, "Birou, how can you hand over the business to Yijun?" Since she was a child, she has not been able to save a cent of her monthly money, and she has to pay Wanbaolou out of her business. It is not small to settle down and build a business, but no one carefully manages it, and the decline is also a matter of two days. ”

"Huh?!" An Birou's face was slightly stiff, she didn't expect it to be this matter, she was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Mother, I, I can't beat her ......" said a few words, didn't know how to continue, and silently lowered her head.

Mrs. An shook her head and sighed lightly, and said: "Wuchang doesn't have anything important, I have already checked once when I passed by in winter last year, what are you doing in Wuchang if you don't do good business in Kyoto?" I haven't been far away and don't know the rules, but it's not as good as Kyoto outside, and I fell into the hands of that group of bandits, but I was scared to death. ”

Miss An's heart was pounding, her face was flushed, and her head was getting lower and lowered: "I just want to go out and go around, and it just so happens that Zhao Xian also went to Wuchang, and I also want to see if he is like the rumors, no one can beat him on the battlefield." ”

"He can block a hammer." Mrs. An's ancestral home should be Sichuan, and she was so emotional that she came up with a foul word, and she quickly covered her mouth when she reacted, and hummed softly: "I don't know the details of that kid, except for chanting a few small poems to coax women, how can I have any other real skills, even Yijun can't win with fists and feet, and I haven't seen him touch the formation." Usually snorting and drinking majesticly, he was immediately coaxed by someone holding a sword on his neck, and his sister and good sister screamed indiscriminately, and he felt dirty with his sword when he killed him. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. An also felt that her tone was a little weird, so she hurriedly stopped, took Birou's hand and said: "He has countless confidants, and what he is best at is bullying women, you don't have to be deceived by him." ”

"Mother, where did you go?" The eldest lady looked at Feixia and said shyly: "How could I be deceived by him." ”

Mrs. An turned around, stared at her and said, "Birou, he is in the bandit village, did he bully you?" If so, just let me know, and I'll call the shots for you. ”

"This ......" An Birou said with an unnatural face: "Mother, in fact, he is not so bad, although he usually hates shamelessness, he is calm and wise in front of robbers, he never panics when he encounters things, he has the ability and responsibility, he would rather die by himself than send me out, if it weren't for him, I am afraid that this time I am afraid that I will be more than lucky." At this point, her eyes were already red, and she began to cry.

"Really?! How do I think he is very impulsive, for a peasant girl in Jiangnan, he rushed into someone's house and killed two people before he figured out the situation, if it weren't for Yijun's pity for his talent and saved him, now the grave is full of grass. Mrs. An didn't believe it in her heart, and couldn't help but snort, if she hadn't saved him in a daze, how could she have been harmed like this by him.

The eldest lady knew that it was Mrs. Xiaomeng when she heard it, she had seen her a few times in private, Xianshu was indeed a good daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect Zhao Xian to kill someone for her.

The eldest lady sighed in her heart, and then talked about the incident after meeting the water bandits, of course, the spring was vague. When Zhao Xian, who was to be said, pushed her onto the plank and left her only chance to escape when she was dying, Mrs. An could not suppress the surprise in her heart, took the eldest lady's hand and said, "Birou, he, he didn't even want his life for you?" ”

"Hmm..."Miss An nodded, and said with a slightly red face: "You also saw it when you found me, he would rather soak himself in the water and wait for death than think of leaving me alone to escape." My daughter didn't expect him to be so good, I thought he was just a better fancy kid, but the longer I stayed with him, the more I felt that he was different, when I saw him, I wanted to beat him, but when I couldn't see him, I always thought of him in my heart. I don't know what's wrong with me. At this point, her face was full of shyness.

Am I that good?

Zhao Xian stuck to the wall, and he was about to cry when he was moved, it seems that this girl still has a conscience, and she didn't say anything about touching and scratching, otherwise she wouldn't want to sleep tonight. With a slight smile, he just wanted to get closer and listen carefully, but suddenly found that there was no movement on the other side.

"Huh? Fell asleep so soon? Zhao Xian came closer and wanted to hear how his sister Liu comforted him, and a sword tip appeared in front of him with a "poof", almost poking his nose.

"My day!" Zhao Xianlian took a few steps back, touched the cold sweat on his head, and said with a dry smile: "Uh...... This painting is good, I'm so poetic, cough cough...... The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be ......"

An Birou's face instantly turned red to the root of her ears, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to say more. Mrs. An drew her sword, angry and funny in her heart, thinking that he had changed sex, but she didn't expect it to be this annoying look.

Madame turned around, and wanted to untie her clothes and have a long talk with Birou, but the thought of her stomach stiffened again. After thinking about it, he said, "Birou, you sleep first, and I'll go to another room." ”

"Oh..."An Birou was nervous, she dared to get together with her mother, and was about to see her off, but she was puzzled: "However, there are only two bedrooms on the ship, and the rest is where the people rest, where do you want to rest?" ”

Mrs. An's body was another meal, her eyes rolled, and she said softly: "It's almost dawn, I'm not tired, so I'll go and prepare food, you're tired for one night, rest first." (To be continued......)
