After attending the wedding banquet of the Ma family, the group continued to the north, passing through four small towns, and arrived at Ximan Mountain, where there was a tea house at the foot of the mountain, and there were a few passing guests in the pergola, resting and drinking tea.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and it was obviously not appropriate to cross the mountains and mountains, so Fu Zhixing decided to go to the tea house to sit and rest, and let the entourage set up camp nearby; Yan Hagi smiled and said, "You can live in a tent again." ”

Fu Zhixing reminded her with a smile, "Don't tell ghost stories today." ”

"If you don't tell ghost stories today, how about you tell the story of the beast coming down the mountain today?" Yan Hagi asked with teeth and claws.

"It's not me who can't sleep at night." Fu Zhixing said calmly.

Yan Hagi hummed and chirped into the tea house, Fu Zhixing followed behind her, and the eyes of the guests in the tea house lit up, what a pair of jade people, but when they saw Han Fei and the others following behind, they immediately took their eyes back.

The people who carry the retinue with the saber are not simple characters, they should not be too presumptuous, so as not to offend people and save their lives.

The owner of the tea house came over with a pot to greet the guests, but there was no good tea in the countryside, Yan Hagi didn't drink tea, it didn't matter, but Fu Zhixing didn't drink good tea; Yan Hagi instructed the water chestnut, "I want a pot of boiling water to make our tea." ”

"Yes, young lady." She led an entourage to the stove room of the tea weed.

At this time, a young man came in with a basket of red and bright fruits, Yan Hagi took a look, and she recognized the fruit as raspberries, "Hey, hey, do you sell that fruit?" ”

The young man was stunned, "Madam, this is a wild fruit on the mountain." ”

"I know, how do you sell it?" Yan Hagi swallowed.

The owner of the tea house smiled: "It's just a wild fruit on the mountain, it's not valuable, my wife likes it, so I'll take it." ”

"That's not going to work, you have to give money." Yan Hao looked at Fu Zhixing, "Childe, please give me money." ”

Fu Zhixing smiled slightly, took out a few copper coins from the money bag, and handed them to the young man in the basket, "Is it enough?" ”

"Enough, enough, thank you Childe." The owner of the tea house hurriedly said.

The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, can you give me a few of these wild fruits?" ”

"Of course, you want as many as you want." Yan Hao smiled embarrassedly, this basket of wild fruits, I am afraid that this young man picked it for himself and ate it, and she "forcibly" bought it.

"Thank you, ma'am." The boy grabbed a few raspberries and walked away.

Yan Hagi stretched out his hand and grabbed a few, and was about to send them to his mouth, but was stopped by Fu Zhixing, "Wash it and eat it." ”

The maidservant girl took the basket down to wash the fruit, and Yan Hagi looked in the direction she left, and then saw a figure, looking familiar. Yan Hagi thought for a while, "No blame, I seem to have seen an old man." ”

"Naughty again." Fu Zhixing didn't believe her words.

Yan Hagi pouted, "I'm not naughty, you sit, I'll come when I go." With that, Yan Hagi got up and left.

In this barren mountain and wilderness, Fu Zhixing was not at ease, so he followed her over.

Yan Hao saw the woman in a cloth dress with a slightly bulging belly, and recognized it at a glance, "Xiangcheng!" ”

The wild fruit in the woman's hand fell off at once, "You, you have recognized the wrong person." ”

Yan Hao saw the panic flashing on her face, thinking that Xiangcheng's penal colony was not here, so she smiled, "I'm sorry." ”

After saying that, Yan Hagi turned around and saw Fu Zhixing, and pulled him back to the pergola together.

After a while, the camelina brought hot tea, and the hemp straw also washed the wild fruit and brought it up. Fu Zhixing drank tea, Yan Hagi ate raspberries, and fed one to Fu Zhixing from time to time. Outside the pergola, Xiangcheng looked at his cousin, who he hadn't seen for many years, with a complicated gaze.

"A-Niang, A-Niang, what are you looking at?" A little girl of six or seven years old tugged at the hem of her skirt.

"Didn't see anything." Xiangcheng shook her head, Ronghua and wealth have long been a thing of the past, and now she is just a village woman in the countryside.

"Auntie, that lady is so beautiful, and the clothes she wears are also beautiful." The little girl looked at Yan Hagi with envy in her eyes.

Xiangcheng looked down at her daughter, when she was five or six years old, she was wearing brocade clothes and enjoying the service of her subordinates, but her daughter, since she was born, has not enjoyed a day of happiness. Do you want your daughter to live in the countryside for the rest of her life? When you are fifteen or sixteen years old, marry a village man, and continue to live this hard life?

No, she had to plan for her daughter, and as long as she didn't show up, no one would know that her daughter was the daughter of a sinner; And with the power of Fu Zhixing and Yan Hao, they will definitely be able to shelter their daughter.

Xiangcheng touched her daughter's head, "Ji'er, do you want to wear beautiful clothes?" Wear beautiful flowers? Can you eat meat every day? ”

The little girl nodded vigorously, "Yes, Ah Niang, Ji'er thinks." ”

Xiangcheng smiled, "But in the future, Ji'er won't be able to see Daddy and Auntie, is Ji'er willing?" ”

The little girl's eyes were full of confusion, she didn't understand.

Xiangcheng didn't say much to his daughter, and in the evening, the tea house was closed, and after dinner, Xiangcheng pulled the owner of the tea house, who was also her husband, and went outside the house, "The noble lady who came today is my cousin." ”

The face of the owner of the tea house changed greatly, "Xiangniang, can she see you?" ”

"Not only did she see me, she recognized me, but don't worry, she won't go to the government to report me." Xiangcheng smiled and comforted him.

The owner of the tea house breathed a sigh of relief, "What do you want to do?" ”

Xiangcheng said directly: "I want her to take Ji'er away, I don't want Ji'er to stay here and live a hard life." ”

"No, Ji'er is our daughter, she must stay with us." The owner of the tea house flatly refused.

"Brother Li, I am also reluctant to be a sister-in-law, but I am even more reluctant to stay here and suffer with us, my cousin is a kind-hearted person, she will take good care of her and find a good family affair for her to live a good life." Xiangcheng persuaded.

The owner of the tea house sighed, "It's me who is useless and can't let your mother and daughter live a good life." ”

"Brother Li, don't say that, I have caused you to be tired, if it weren't for me, how could you come to the foot of this mountain to open such a simple teahouse? Brother Li, let Ji'er go with my cousin, if you are not at ease, you can let the little uncle go with you, the little uncle has grown up, and it is time to run for the future. Xiangcheng looked at him expectantly.

The owner of the tea house was silent for a long time, "I'm afraid that your cousin won't take her sister and Brother Qi." ”

"My cousin is a very soft-hearted person, I beg her, and she will agree." Xiangcheng smiled, "Brother Li, while the hour is still early, you can send me over." ”

"You have a big belly, can you walk at night?" The owner of the tea house frowned, "It's better to wait until tomorrow morning." ”

"If I don't get this done tonight, I won't be able to sleep. Besides, we have done it tonight, and we still have one night to tell my sister-in-law and my brother-in-law. Xiangcheng insisted on going to Yan Hagi now.

The owner of the tea house went into the house and found a short candle, lit it and put it in the lantern, and asked his younger brother to take care of his daughter, and he helped Xiangcheng to see Yan Hagi.
