Zhou Kang chose the best inn in Nan'an County, Ji Xiang and Chen Xie An were delayed in the carriage for too long, and the guests had already registered and entered their rooms early.

So when I entered the Cyclamen Inn, there was only one napping Xiaoer inside. Hearing the movement, the index finger rubbed his worried eyes, saw clearly, and then came over to guide the way.

"Little second brother, help us boil some hot water." and Chen Jie'an were at Sister-in-law Pu's, and they had never bathed properly, and they were almost disgusted with themselves. Xiao Er got the order and hurriedly responded.

Give the number plate to Xiao Er, go up to the second floor, and turn right. Ji Xiang followed behind, the bean fire swayed, and the little second brother turned sideways so that they could all see ahead.

Halfway through, the phoenix tail bamboo planted in a large pastel ceramic pot stretched its feathers and hung on the back hem of Ji Xiang's clothes. She paused, tugged at her back, and with a movement of her ears, there seemed to be a strange noise coming from the room next to her.

"Xianggong."

Ji Xiang grabbed Chen Jie'an, who was walking forward, and gestured to the room behind the phoenix tail bamboo with his eyes. The man lowered his head, and the window through it was instantly dark, and there was no movement.

He and Ji Xiang's eyes touched each other, and it was a woman's faint cry.

Xiao Er walked over, there were a few lanterns in the headlamp, and the falling light reflected him flickering and dimming. "Your room is still in front."

Chen Xie An nodded, and after holding Ji Xiang, he continued to move forward with a cold face.

"It's here," Xiao Er stopped in room No. 1 and opened the door. "Shopkeeper Zhou has ordered, red dates, lotus seeds, glutinous rice balls have been placed on the table to be cool, and hot water can be delivered in a quarter of an hour. The little one goes down first, and you can tell me if there is something. ”

There was only a brass candlestick on the mahogany table, and a candle the size of an index finger was embellished with a small light of fire. It is dim and dark, and it is not as bright as the house. In fact, you can't blame this inn for not being able to do things, when I was at Sister-in-law Pu's house, I didn't even have candles. There is only one oil lamp at home, and I don't usually take it out for anything.

Know that this candle is very expensive in this day and age.

Xiao Er saw that they didn't have anything to say, so he had to retreat. Ji Xiang's eyes flashed, and he stopped him again. "Little second brother, who lives in the room we stopped in just now?"

The little second brother was embarrassed, "Little lady, don't embarrass me, how can we ......be good with this guest" His hand holding the oil cup was a little locked, Ji Xiang sighed, and took out the broken silver hidden in his arms.

His eyes lit up, he swallowed the saliva in his throat, and he couldn't speak. After pushing four or five times, Ji Xiang took out another ingot of broken silver, and then he took it and lowered his voice. "There lived there as a couple, and the man was with a knife, and he was very fierce. The woman was wearing a hat, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but she couldn't speak, and she had to be supported by a man when she walked, so she should be sick. They all came from the south, and the accents sounded a bit like those from Hainan. ”

"How do you know?" In Ji Xiang's ears, Chen Jie'an and the others talked to her in standard Mandarin, which could no longer be standard, could they still distinguish their pronunciations when they were all Mandarin?

Suppressed laughter suddenly came from the room, and Ji Xiang turned his head to glare at Chen Jiean. I heard the little second brother laugh too, and the atmosphere was a little lighter. "What the little lady said, it didn't sound for ten miles, let alone someone from other places. To tell you the truth, my father and mother are from there, so the smell can still be heard. ”

"That's it, it's okay, you go down first." Ji Xiang nodded, bid farewell to Xiao Er, and closed the door again. Chen Xie An was already sitting on a stool and lifted the lid of the soup bowl.

The green glazed porcelain bowl is filled with slow small balls, decorated with red dates, which is particularly appetizing. Ji Xiang also came over to take a bite, scooping the bowl and remembering the suppressed women's cries just now.

Chen Jie'an finished eating a few bites and put the bowl down, "But I'm thinking about what happened just now." ”

She nodded, "That little second doesn't look like he's lying, it should be that I'm thinking too much." Let's not meddle in our affairs, and even if we have the heart to help, we may not have the ability. ”

"Xiang'er, what kind of person are you?" Chen Xie An muttered, Ji Xiang, who preferred ear power, was full of worries and didn't hear clearly. At night, the second brother brought hot water, and the two fell asleep after scrubbing.

In the past, we used to sleep in the same bed, but today it is very different.

The window and door opened, and the moonlight was like frost, and it quickly crept in and spread out in front of the bed. Embroidered shoes and black boots sat side by side, but their owners were wrapped in their respective quilts and stared.

"Did you sleep?" Ji Xiang turned over, pillowed his arms, and turned his back to Chen Jiean. After a long time, the man hummed. Ji Xiang didn't accept this time, arched his feet, hugged his knees, and snorted.

The portrait slowly unfolded in her mind, there was the ambiguity of Chen Jie'an holding her ears and temples, and the sweetness in her heart when Zhou Kang said those words in the afternoon.

Finally, the woman lay up straight, stretched out her hand outside the quilt, and exhaled deeply. "I can't sleep, let's talk."

"Hmm."

It's this word again, Ji Xiang pouted and held his breath. It's better to chat with the pig who got rich, although Xianggong is not a chatter, but he usually doesn't cherish words like gold.

"Xianggong, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future." Chen Xie An is a young general, but in the battle five years ago, his ambition was buried in the corpse. Hatred is like a flame, it becomes the blood that runs through the body.

It can be said that revenge is the main plot line of the male protagonist. Don't look at Chen Jie'an who is messing around with him now, in fact, he is in Taoguang.

"What about you?"

Chen Xie An's rhetorical question made Ji Xiang silent. Waiting for Yuehua to retreat a little, she replied solemnly and seriously. "To live, my goal is simple, to live."

As long as you live long, nothing is invisible.

In other words, as long as I can live, I will naturally get what I want.

Telling Chen Xie an this sentence, he laughed again. Today, he really loves to laugh, like a wild horse without restraints, galloping in the vast grassland, and finding his own meaning.

"I'm different, Xiang'er. Thousands of soldiers have never shouted tired, they shed their blood for the country and the people, but there are people in this country who want to deal with my Chen family and treat them as cannon fodder. This life has never been mine, but those underground souls who want the truth. He said it too calmly, Ji Xiang couldn't think of what Chen Jie'an had gone through, she groped to hold the hand of the person next to the pillow.

Ten fingers interlocked, the man's body unloaded his strength, and Ji Xiang found out that Chen Xie Anliang was deadly.

"I'm so tired." He suddenly closed his eyes, and Ji Xiang held his hand distressedly trying to transfer his strength to him. The sound of soothing breathing sounded in her ears, and she slowly relaxed.

And the cool night passed.

When Zhou Kang came to look for him, Ji Xiang was still asleep.

After ordering a few plates of snacks, Zhou Kang saw the blue and black under Chen Jiean's eyes, and thought that the two of them had been warm until late last night. "How about it, Uncle did you a lot of help yesterday. How's that, it feels good to be in the arms of a beauty. ”

Chen Jie'an remembered last night, and the corners of his mouth burst into a smile. Zhou Kang looked at it, and his heart was sour. "Tut-tut, what a jackal. Hey, uncle also wants to have such a sincere person by his side to know the warmth and heat. ”

The man on the other side picked up the small cage and handed it to his mouth, as if he hadn't heard it. Zhou Kang now runs Yulong Fang, and the matchmaker at home has been invited out after a few trips, so he is just teasing himself when he says this.

"Xianggong, uncle, why did you get up so early." Ji Xiang changed his clothes, washed up, and saw the two people laughing in the hall as soon as he came. She didn't have a loud voice, because it was quiet now, and all the eyes of the guests were on her.

The feeling of attention was not good, Ji Xiang lowered his head embarrassedly and quickly sat down next to Xianggong.

Zhou Kang teased a few words and then left, "Then I'll leave first, don't worry, I'll take care of Lu Bing." ”

After he left, Chen Jie'an took a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks for her. Ji Xiang took a few bites, "Xianggong, when are we going to go back?" How can my eldest aunt stop it, what if my uncle and Lu Bing have a good talk, and she goes to make trouble. ”

When I got up this morning, I thought of it, and it didn't look like the eldest aunt would give up. Last time, the Taoist chief didn't frame her, maybe the family was holding back and waiting to set her trap.

"I was about to discuss this matter with you, and I told Uncle Zhou Kang that I wanted to transfer the title deed of the shop in Yulongfang to his name. Don't worry, listen to me. No matter what, the Ji family is your mother's family, and the blood is inseparable. Once they regret that the official government accuses you of unfilial piety, they will still make you guilty. Transferring the store to Uncle Zhou Kang's name preserves your money and can also put an end to the Ji family's delusions. ”

"You've thought it all out, and you're asking for my opinion." Ji Xiang inserted the xiaolongbao, and the soup splashed up, and soon flowed into the porcelain blue small plate. Inadvertently saw Chen Jie'an's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, she couldn't help laughing. "What kind of expression do you make, I think I'm stupid. Thank you for your hard work, next time I will definitely not make a decision. ”

After breakfast, the two packed up their things and left the room.

Before leaving, I saw the outsiders that the little second brother said. The man is not as fierce as he said, but he is strong and bearish. When the woman was eating, she took off her hat. Ji Xiang immediately moved away, not wanting to show a sympathetic and pitiful expression.

The woman's appearance is very symbolic at a glance, but the most important eyes, one squinted outward, and the eyebrow bone was slashed and collapsed. She sat there quietly, and the man skillfully coaxed her to eat.

Passers-by have also seen the woman's face, which is either sad or disgusting. Very few people speak disrespectfully, the man is fierce and vicious, and he carries a knife beside him, which can be regarded as effectively isolating the villain's mouth.

Out of the cyclamen, Ji Xiang and Chen Xie An prepared to go home.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two people who set off from Nan'an Town happened to meet a group of people from Dawan Village.

Chen's house has arrived.

Ji Xiang got out of the car, followed by Yuhuai and others. Chen Jie'an helped Grandpa Liao, and after standing firmly, with a look, Xiao Minghuai went up and knocked on the bronze beast ring.

"Who?" The woman's delicate voice, as soon as Ji Xiang heard it, he knew that it was a colorful butterfly. Come to think of it, it will be the birthday of the old lady of the Meng family in a few days, and she must be thinking about how to make Xiang Cai stand out at home.

As soon as the door opened, Butterfly was dumbfounded. Hao Hao Tang Tang was a large group of people, and the little radish in front of her was still stepping hard and breaking into her eyes.

settled down, and finally saw Ji Xiang Chen unsaddle. Stammered and didn't ask, Wang had already walked out with an iron spoon and scolding. "Caidie, are the two little bastards Xie An and Xiang'er back? Okay, dare to come back and see the old lady...... Who are you? ”

The Wang family at the door was also stunned, why did so many people suddenly come, "Untie the saddle, Xiang'er, this is a friend you met outside?" "My friend is dressed in tatters, how can there be a pregnant body, could it be that Xiang'er picked up people on the street again.

She was about to get angry, and the spoon pointed at Chen Jie'an and was about to hit her, when the old man next to her suddenly burst into tears. Obviously he didn't know him, but Wang's heart also felt sad, and all the depression in his heart was hooked.

"Cailin, why have you forgotten your uncle?" Originally from Hangzhou, Grandpa Liao grew up in Kyoto since he was a child, and then wandered in the northwest country for several years, but this native accent has never changed.

"Uncle?" Wang's eyes were filled with tears, I hadn't seen him for so many years, but I didn't expect my uncle to be different from before. "You're not dead!"

Grandpa Liao's moved heart paused, and he watched Wang gradually become angry. "You don't learn well, I hope your uncle dies!"

"Also, you are so fierce to Xiang'er and them. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have any money...... Didn't get a chance to see you. Xiang'er girl, don't worry, your uncle and grandfather will cover you in the future! ”

Ji Xiang looked at the deflated Wang, and he didn't expect that the way his mother and his uncle got along was so interesting.

Caidie also came over and held Ji Xiang's hand, a little reproachful. "You haven't heard from me all these days, and you're about to scare me to death."

"I miscalculated, I didn't expect it to take so long. Caidie, this is Yuhuai, Minghuai, holding is called Yujin. Ding Niang, Yuhuai, you take them in first, and I'll take you to meet Green Embroidery and Mixian later. Caidie smiled lightly, and after seeing them in, she grabbed Ji Xiang and didn't let them go.

"This is also your uncle's grandfather's?" Ji Xiang shook his head, finished talking about Yuhuai's affairs, and tilted his head to ask if he could go in. Caidie saw that everyone was almost gone, and even Chen Jie'an arrived at the door, so he anxiously ordered Ji Xiang's little head melon.

"You, no wonder your mother-in-law is not satisfied with you now."

"No, my mother is very good to me. I also made meritorious contributions, I found my uncle and grandfather, how could she be dissatisfied with me? Ji Xiang glanced at Zhou Caidie, the Wang family is really a good mother-in-law, although sometimes there are different views, the overall relationship is still very pleasant.

Zhou Caidie is angry, and she is pinching. "Okay, you're big, she's going to give you a concubine!"
