Chapter 28

Besides, Zhu Niang recognized Sun Xiu as her brother, ate grilled fish, and slept in the inn all night.

When she got up early in the morning, Sun Xiuzheng came back from the market after buying the supplies needed for the road, and was returning to the inn, when she saw her Zhu Niang standing at the door of the inn and walking around, looking at it.

Sun Xiu smiled and touched Zhu Niang's fluffy little head, and handed over a small package of lotus leaf bags.

Zhu Niang called to take a look, but it was a bag of small snacks, raisins, walnut kernels, dried almonds, candied fruit or something, and she was immediately moved to tears.

She has been waiting for Brother Sun since she woke up, for fear that he would forget herself, so she didn't dare to drink a sip of water until now, and has been standing at the door of the inn waiting.

Sun Xiu smiled and handed over a lotus leaf package, Zhu Niang thanked her and opened it, but it was a few familiar round hard candies, wrapped in a layer of white bran powder, and now the sugar wrapped in the bran powder has melted a little, sticky on the edge of the ruffle.

Looking at the sugar this night, Zhu Niang remembered Zhu'er again, at that time, it was Brother Sun who bought candy for the two sisters and brothers, and I don't know if he remembers?

Sun Xiu looked at Zhu Niang, who suddenly lowered her head and didn't speak, leaned over to take a look, and saw that the night sugar had melted a little, and it was strange and unsightly to stick to the edge of the ruffle, thinking that Zhu Niang didn't want to eat it.

A little embarrassed to say: "I bought it last night, the vendor picked it and sold it under the wall of the inn, my sister likes to eat the most, I used to buy it and bring it back to her to satisfy her cravings, I thought you would love to eat......

Zhu Niang sniffed, twisted it and put it in her mouth, and then looked up, and it was already a bright smile: "I like it very much!" It's sweet! Thank you, second brother! ”

Looking at Zhu Niang's smiling face, Sun Xiu was in a trance, smiled and said, "Well, it's good to like it." Pack your things and let's go. ”

…………

In fact, there is nothing to clean up, Zhu Niang carries a blue cloth package, and she is still wearing the same men's clothes, and she has never opened the package. took the package out of the room, and was about to go out of the inn to find Sun Xiu, but the innkeeper suddenly came over and blocked her, and insisted that she pay for the room.

Fortunately, at this time, the second brother happened to lead the horse over, and when he saw that the innkeeper was pestering Zhu Niang, he hurriedly came in and explained it clearly, so Zhu Niang was able to get out.

After the two left, the innkeeper touched his beard and asked Xiao Er on the side: "Did you say it's her?" But how can you be a kid? ”

Xiao Er wiped the table and threw the rag to his shoulder: "I look like it!" Or...... Or did you notify the Ren family to come and take a look? How can you still get a little silver! ”

The innkeeper picked up the abacus and continued: "Yes! Then go find the Ren family to take a look! ”

…………

Sun Xiu took Zhu Niang out of the city gate, and Shangguan Dao rushed all the way to Qingzhou.

The horses were running fast, and the two planned to rush to Qingxi Town to rest before dark. Qingxi Town is surrounded by water on three sides, one side is leaning on Queling Mountain, and if you want to enter Qingxi Town, you must first cross the Qingxi River. The Qingxi River was full of boats carrying people, and as soon as the two approached the riverbank, a smiling man rowed a boat and stopped in front of them.

Sun Xiu took the boat and saw Zhu Niang sitting on the edge of the boat, taking off her shoes and stretching out her feet to play in the water, having a lot of fun, and she didn't even know that he had already led the horse to the boat.

He smiled and said, "It's autumn now, and the river is still quite cold." I'm worried about catching a cold, come up. ”

Zhu Niang reluctantly withdrew her foot and smiled at Sun Xiu: "No!" I'm in good health! ”
