Chapter Twenty-Five: You Are All the Strength of My Life

When Cao Yu returned to the bed, she saw Ling Xiu'er waking up slowly, muttering: "Water... Water ......"

Cao Yu hurriedly picked her up and fed her a bowl of water.

Ling Xiu'er's eyes gradually became active, and she felt that she could speak again, and when she looked up and saw a familiar face, the grievances and fears of the past two days instantly came to her heart.

"Xianggong!"

Ling Xiu'er couldn't wait to pounce directly on Cao Yu.

Cao Yu felt the helplessness and fear of the woman in her arms, but she hadn't seen her for two days, but she felt that she had lost a lot of weight.

"Is there anything else wrong with you?"

Ling Xiu'er shook her head vigorously, "I'm fine, I've been hungry for two days and I'm a little dizzy, and I'll make up for it by eating more in the past two days." She raised her head and looked at Cao Yu, her eyes with indescribable affection: "It's all my fault, I always make you worry." ”

Cao Yu looked at her silly wife, and she didn't seem to understand how important she was to her. Isn't it just to give her a good life?

He hugged Ling Xiu'er in his arms, buried his head deep in her neck, and his voice was muffled, "It's all my fault, I made you wronged." You haven't lived a good life with me for a day, and you have suffered so much. ”

Ling Xiu'er obediently hugged him tightly, listening to his powerful heartbeat, she felt warm and happy: "No, I don't feel hard, I can be with Xianggong, I have nothing to complain about." ”

Cao Yu's voice became more and more gentle: "Do you fool know how important you are to me?" If it weren't for you, what would I do with this fame? ”

Ling Xiu'er insisted very much: "Xianggong, don't worry." I can take care of myself, I know that you have great ambitions, and I don't want to hold you back and miss your future! ”

Cao Yu really wanted to open her little brain and see what she was thinking about every day.

She is not a drag, but a driving force, both a weakness and an armor, and all the confidence of his life. However, Cao Yu understands her current uneasiness, and all he has to do is prove it with his own actions.

Early the next morning, Cao Yu had to rush back to the county school again, and he didn't say anything to his husband when he came out this time, so he had to go back as soon as possible. But he wanted to bring Ling Xiu'er with him.

Ling Xiu'er had been much better after resting for a night, and helped him pack his luggage early in the morning, and when she learned that Cao Yu was going to take her away, she refused again and again: "Xianggong, don't worry, I can take care of myself." If you delay your studies because of me, I will have a troubled conscience for the rest of my life! ”

"But if I can't see you, I'll be upset."

Ling Xiu'er was teased by his love words, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows also flew out of a coquettish style, "I'll bring you food at noon......"

Cao Yu looked at the time and it was indeed too late, and he was reluctant to set off alone.

Not long after Cao Yu left, Li knocked on the door with a few steamed buns.

"Xiu'er, are you better? That look scared my sister-in-law yesterday, you can't starve yourself now! Li pushed the door in to himself, "Come, sister-in-law made you a few steamed buns, you take them and eat them." ”

Ling Xiu'er was accustomed to Li's repeated face changes, and she didn't take her seriously at all, concentrating on her own business.

Li Shi saw that Ling Xiu'er didn't care about herself at all, and she didn't get angry, she just put the steamed buns on the table, "You eat while it's hot, and then call your sister-in-law if you have something." ”

She put the steamed bun on the table and withdrew, and closed the door intimately.

It's just that Li Shi didn't take a few steps when he turned around, so he took a sip, "Phew, what kind of thing, pretend to be hypocritical with me every day." Don't eat and pull down, waste my steamed buns. If it weren't for my brother still in your hands, I would have been able to give you this hot face and stick your cold ass? You wait for me, wait for my brother to come out, I want you to look good! ”

Li Shi thought about it in pieces, and found that the plate where the steamed buns were put had not been brought back, so he was reluctant to fold the plate back again.

She hadn't closed the door yet, and it was still open. Li saw Ling Xiu'er busy inside, so he wondered if she had hidden the embroidery and peeked through the crack in the door.

Ling Xiu'er carried a small basket, rinsed the peony flowers soaked in blood, and put them up; I was afraid that the flowers would wilt, so I took a white damp cloth and covered it.

Li Shi felt strange, "It's really strange, I haven't seen her plant in this yard, where did Ling Xiu'er come from?" She became more and more curious, and her eyes couldn't wait to fly to Ling Xiu'er through the crack in the door. It's just that Ling Xiu'er turned her back to her and covered her gaze tightly, and Li couldn't see anything.

Seeing that Ling Xiu'er was about to go out, Li ran back to her house in a panic, and only followed Ling Xiu'er from a distance when she came out of the gate.

"Fresh vegetables, no fresh no money......"

The morning market in the county seat has been opened lively, and there are more people coming and going on the street.

Ling Xiu'er hurriedly found a market, ignoring the sweat that flowed all the way, spread out the cloth towel with broken flowers, and carefully took out the peony flowers in the basket.

The half-opened peony contains water droplets, which is very delicate.

Ling Xiu'er deliberately inserted one on her head, so that she didn't need to shout, and the women she saw stopped and chosen.

"How do you sell this flower?"

"Twenty dollars a flower, little lady, such a gorgeous flower of peony is luxurious and generous! You're so good-looking, with a hairpin on your head, it's a match for you! ”

"Cheng, bring me two."

"Give me one too"

“......”

It didn't take long for Ling Xiu'er's stall to be full of people. She is a good person and will say that most of the flowers and bones in the basket are gone for a while.

Li watched Ling Xiu'er count the money on the side, and his eyes were very hot!

No, this little hoof won't share it with her if he earns money now, and he won't get any benefit from it. Lee's eyes flickered, and he came up with a bad idea.

"Let it go, let it go." Li scolded and squeezed into the crowd, just glanced at the flower, closed his eyes exaggeratedly, and looked distressed, "It's a sin, this flower is a precious peony in the temple in the south of the city, and it was stolen and sold cheaply by this mother-in-law." You are stealing Buddha's things, you will be unlucky! ”

After Li's flickering, the people who originally wanted to buy it didn't buy it.

Ling Xiu'er saw that Li Shicheng was ruining her business, and said unhappily: "Sister-in-law, you must have a basis for speaking, don't open your mouth to come." ”

Li shrugged his shoulders and turned his face away disdainfully, "Then you explain the origin of this flower." In addition to the temple in the south of the city, there are peonies in the county lord's house, could it be that you are stealing the county lord's house? ”

"Li, don't spew blood!"

Ling Xiu'er was angry and wanted to reason with her, but when she saw that the customers were scared away by Li's, she lost her temper in an instant. It's a small thing to be angry with the Li family, but it's a big thing to make money.

Ling Xiu'er ignored her, packed up the buds in the place, and prepared to sell them in another place. Who knows that the Li family is like a fart, wherever Ling Xiu'er goes, she will follow her, deliberately unable to get along with Ling Xiu'er.

Ling Xiu'er was furious, stopped and looked at Li with the basket on her shoulder, "Are you finished?" ”

"It's not over." The Li scoundrel rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Unless you give me 30% of the money from selling flowers today." ”

It turned out that she was asking for money, but Ling Xiu'er looked down on the Li family from the bottom of her heart, "Impossible." ”

"Then wait for your flowers to wilt into garbage, and no one wants to burn the fire." The more Li Shi talked, the more proud she became, as long as Ling Xiu'er didn't go well, she felt comfortable. It's been a long time since Li has been breathing, and he hasn't been so smooth.

Ling Xiu'er clutched the basket tightly with both hands, restraining her emotions. Arguing with the Li family will only cause a commotion, and she has to find a way to sell the flowers as soon as possible.

Just thinking about it, suddenly a middle-aged lady with kind eyebrows came over by the maid and took a fancy to the flower on Ling Xiu'er's head.

"Girl, where did you get the flowers on your head?"
