But that's the cinnamon branch.

It was Jin Xiaolou who came to this era and was the first person to give her warmth and let her go step by step to the present.

Even if there was an abyss in front of her, she had to jump.

Jin Xiaolou took a deep breath, said a few more words to Lu Yun, looked back at Fu Niang who was smiling in the flowers, and walked away with the child in his arms.

In the afternoon, when the clouds obscured the sun and the sun was about to rain, Mr. Yu took the brush, and only half of the advertisement was painted, and at this progress, he had to stay in this rainbow garden for at least ten days and a half months.

Mr. Yu is not in a hurry, he eats and drinks well in this rainbow garden, and he can't wait to slow down by three points with every stroke, and extend those ten days and half months into one and a half years, three years and five years......

As soon as Fu Niang came out of the flowers, the raindrops of beans fell from the air, and a little girl hurriedly held an umbrella and sent Fu Niang back to the Yinghui Pavilion in the east.

Even if the little maid has done her best, but Fu Niang's shoulder skirt is still wet by the menacing rain, the little maid knows that this Fu Niang is the master's honored guest, panicked, who knows that Fu Niang does not mind at all, dusts off the rain on her body, and pushes the door to go inside.

As soon as she stepped into the house, she saw Jin Xiaolou waiting alone in the house, a thin light penetrated through the window, hitting Jin Xiaolou's body, the look on her face was gentle and soft, which made Fu Niang's heart throb for no reason, and she only felt that such a face seemed familiar......

But this familiar feeling was fleeting, Fu Niang pinched her palm, let the pain keep her head awake, and then slowly bowed down, and asked softly: "Boss Jin is waiting for Fu Niang in the room, but things related to advertising have to be discussed with Fu Niang?" ”

Jin Xiaolou shook his head: "It's just that I have nothing to do, I want to talk to you." ”

While speaking, Jin Xiaolou kept looking at Fu Niang's eyes, which were as innocent and transparent as before, like the moon shadow reflected in the heart of the lake waves.

Seeing that Fu Niang's clothes were a little wet, the weather was hot, but it was raining to avoid cold, Jin Xiaolou was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he got up and ordered the maid outside to fetch some hot water, and wanted to wipe her hands and feet for Fu Niang to change into clean clothes, but Fu Niang quickly shook her head and took half a step back, refusing: "Boss Jin doesn't have to take care of the slave family, the slave family is not a pampered person, drenching some drizzle, it will not get in the way." ”

Jin Xiaolou said left and right, so she had to find a dry handkerchief to wipe the water stains on her clothes for her, and then raised her hand to open the food box on the table, and as soon as she picked up the lid, a fresh fragrance gushed out.

Fu Niang shrugged her nose: "It's so fragrant." ”

"It's your favorite lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cake." Jin Xiaolou answered, seemingly inadvertently, and as if on purpose, "This small pastry in the south is not easy to find in the capital, I specially ordered it to be made in the kitchen, can you taste it, is there any taste from before?" ”

Fu Niang was stunned for a moment, only thinking that this boss Jin said something strange, but he hesitated to pick up the pastry and bite it, and it was indeed a similar touch between her lips and teeth.

"Lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cake?" Fu Niang muttered, "Where is this dim sum?" ”

"Xinning." Jin Xiaolou spoke, looking at Fu Niang with burning eyes, "My hometown, the most common dim sum in Xinning." ”

The wrinkles between Fu Niang's eyebrows bulged and dissipated, and soon, she swallowed the sugar cake in her hand, and smiled at Jin Xiaolou: "Then I won't eat it before, I've never been to Xinning." However, Boss Jin guessed well, this pastry is very suitable for my taste. ”

"Just call me Xiaolou." Jin Xiaolou guessed that she would deny it, so he spoke directly, "The reason why I said that you love to eat is not because I guessed, but because I know." ”

It doesn't matter if Gui Zhi has lost her memory and can't remember the past, the important thing is that she always denies the fact of amnesia, Jin Xiaolou wants to know exactly whether someone taught her to do this, or if she is trying to protect herself.

Jin Xiaolou didn't want to go around the bend anymore, so he got straight to the point: "Fu Niang, the reason why I spent a lot of money to shoot your advertisement is just to have the opportunity to meet you and talk to you." ”

Fu Niang blushed: "Boss Jin, don't be like this, although the slave family is a girl in the workshop, but there are rules, and there are ...... who don't accompany guests."

"You misunderstood...... "Jin Xiaolou is embarrassed, this Guizhi, where do you want to go!" I mean, you're a lot like a dear friend of mine! ”

"Dear ...... Friends? Fu Niang took a step forward and looked at Jin Xiaolou without blinking.

"Or not quite like it, but just that. You are my dearest friend, but because of an accident, you lost your memories of the past, forgot about the past, and then were taken into the Tassel Pavilion. Jin Xiaolou's heart was pounding, and his palms were sweating slightly, "Your surname is Huang, your name is Guizhi, you are not a Fu Niang in a good family, but a serious girl from a good family, you are my dearest and dearest person." ”

"So, I want to ask you now, what you said in the Tassel Pavilion yesterday, is it true?" Jin Xiaolou then spoke, "You really grew up in the capital since you were a child?" If anyone had taught you these words, you could have told me. You don't have to be afraid of anything, I can settle the tassel pavilion for you, it doesn't matter if you can't remember the past, I will help you, help you remember everything! ”

Speaking of the word "everything", Jin Xiaolou's eyes suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Shuli's tragic situation when he died...... Everything was too cruel for Guizhi......

"Perhaps...... You don't need everything, as long as it can make you remember yourself, remember me, and remember your favorite Lin'er in the past, it's enough. ”

Fu Niang's cheeks faded pink and turned a little white, and it took a long time before she shook her head with difficulty: "It's not true." ”

As soon as the words came out, tears were already flashing in his eyes: "It's all not true...... But they forced me to say this, they said that only the native-born girls in the capital are the most popular, and those women from the countryside will never be able to lift themselves up in this huge capital, and they will not have enough to eat......"

"Xiaolou!" Fu Niang took two more steps forward and held Jin Xiaolou's hands tightly, "If you really know me, then you can help me, I don't want to go back to the Tassel Pavilion again, I don't want to go back to the Tassel Pavilion again!" ”

Fu Niang said, got up again, and pulled up her wet sleeves.

Under the arm, it was as bright as jade, and the wrist was frosty and snowy, but the clothes were further up, and the first bruise and purple marks appeared on the jade-white arm, followed by the second and third ...... The dense scars extended from the depths of his arm to his back, and he could see the pain in Jin Xiaolou's chest, as if a knife was slowly stirring his heart.

"I forgot what happened in the past, I can't remember anything, so they beat me, beat me like crazy, told me to learn the rules, do what they say, and if I make a slight mistake, I will be beaten and not given food......" Fu Niang choked up, "I have no choice but to listen to them, learn how to please people, how to lie without changing my face......"

"They...... Who are they! Jin Xiaolou pounced on Gui Zhi and hugged Gui Zhi tightly, gently brushing her mottled body, Jin Xiaolou knew that she was no longer in pain, but now these scars were all carved into Jin Xiaolou's body one by one, "Who are they!" ”

Fu Niang's chin was gently placed on Jin Xiaolou's shoulder, there were still tears on her face, but she was numb and expressionless, the look in her eyes had already become thin and indifferent, and as soon as her voice came out, her tone was still as pitiful as just now, with such an appearance and such an expression, even if Jin Xiaolou saw it with his own eyes, he would definitely not believe it......

"I don't know who they are, as soon as I entered the capital, I was caught by them, locked up in a house where there was no daylight, taught the rules, learned the rules, and then sold them into the Tassel Pavilion."

As she spoke, Fu Niang's body shook slightly, as if she was extremely scared when she thought of this.

"They said that as long as they passed their hands, they would be their people for the rest of their lives, don't want to escape, you have to be obedient if you want to live." Fu Niang slowed down, and then continued, "Even if I enter the Tassel Pavilion, I don't dare to be careless, whatever the boss says, I will follow." ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Jin Xiaolou was busy, "Not in the future, never again!" ”

"I will help you redeem it from the Tassel Pavilion, don't worry, you will follow me from now on, no one can bully you!"

"Okay, Xiaolou." Fu Niang lowered her eyes, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she raised her hand to wrap her arms around Jin Xiaolou's waist.
