Needless to say, rewarding Lin Qianxue, Kuo Tianchen, Lu Jingheng, Xingping, including Li Mao and Hou Xun are all stingy.

When it was Huo Zun and Xia Qian's turn, Huo Zun said that since Lin Qianxue and Xia Qian had similar interests, they could both be friends, and invited Lin Qianxue to come to the General's Mansion to play with tea instead of wine.

Xia Qian picked up the crested hairpin that Xingping gave her, and seriously gave Lin Qianxue a hairpin in her bun.

"Bold! How dare you pass on the things that this princess has given her? Xingping looked at her angrily, and the teacup in his hand slammed on the table.

Xia Qian looked at her and explained calmly: "This is the most valuable thing I have at the moment. Since the princess calls Huo Zun her brother, she shouldn't be an outsider, and since the princess gave me this thing, I should not be guilty of any taboos when I give it to my friends as the master! ”

Although Xingping rewarded her crested hairpin without humiliation, if she accepted it, it would leave a handle for Kuo Tianchen and others, so it was the best way to transfer it.

After finishing speaking, she deliberately turned around and glanced at Huo Zun, and said with a coquettish smile: "Our West Courtyard is deserted, don't let more people come, so that I can do some landlord friendship!" ”

"Okay, it's up to you!" Huo Zun took her hands, chuckled and said to everyone, "I'm down now, I don't have anything to entertain, but since Madame has spoken, you can come over when you have time, and I can still get the coarse tea and light rice." ”

Seeing these two show their affection, Xingping's anger churned in his body, but Xia Qian and Huo Zun were already husband and wife, no matter how angry she was, she was just a passerby, and her anger, grievances, and grudges could only be silently held in her heart.

With full of anger and unwillingness, this princess watched Lin Qianxue happily walk out of the house wearing her beloved crested hairpin.

Out of Liuyun Pavilion, Huo Zun was stopped by a woman in red, and Xia Qian was shocked to find that the person was the person in red she had just met on the fourth floor.

Seeing that the other party kept looking at her when she was talking to Huo Zun, she felt apprehensive in her heart.

The other party stopped Huo Zun and Geyanyu, and his demeanor was quite ambiguous, and Huo Zun had been with her and had no intention of leaving, Xia Qian turned around and walked towards the Xuyu River outside the south of the city.

The more Bai Bing thought about it, the more angry he became, and he turned back.

Before she could take a few steps, Xia Qian was stopped and turned around to see that it was Lin Qianxue.

The other party stuffed a small medicine bottle into her hand, saying that it was left by a miracle doctor many years ago, which could not only fade the scars on her hands, but also restore her fingers to their original state.

After Xia Qian thanked her repeatedly, she asked if the person who was willing to pay a thousand taels of gold to ask her to stroke the piano was arranged by Lin Qianxue, Lin Qianxue smiled and said nothing, turned around and left.

Bai Bing caught up and said that Huo Zun had a close relationship with more than a dozen women in Liuyun Pavilion, the one named Yi Mengchu just now was his favorite at the top of his heart, and Huo Zun had just spent 12,000 taels of silver to pack her for a year.

"The family has no money, and he actually spent eighteen thousand taels in Liuyun Pavilion today?" Xia Qian looked at Bai Bing in surprise.

"He is cruel and ruthless, and he is affectionate, the girl will get along with him in the future, but you must be more careful, and you must not be emotional!"

Looking at the riverside, Huo Zun rented the cheapest painting boat for ten taels of silver.

Bai Bing guarded the stern of the boat, Xia Qian and Huo Zun sat on the bow of the boat, although the moonlight was beautiful, but the two of them were covered with frost on their heads.

"That woman just now had a poor background, and she helped me three years ago. She and I are just friends and nothing else! Huo Zun explained.

Friend?

She smiled inwardly.

Spend 12,000 silver to wrap a friend for a year, but rent a painting boat for her for ten taels of silver, is it really atmospheric for a friend?

"It's not just Yi Mengchu, other women, I've never touched it!" He took her hand and continued to explain.

Xia Qian laughed faintly, squatted down and made a splash, the river water was slightly cool, like her mood at the moment.

Huo Zun sat on the deck next to her, his fingers on her white cheeks, and asked affectionately: "I have a very bad reputation, and I have never explained it to anyone before, but now I must tell you that I really want to protect you." ”

"Do you believe me, then?"

He chuckled and took her into his arms, "I don't trust anyone but you!" ”

In the moonlight, she stood opposite him against the railing, and he kissed her on the forehead tenderly.

This was the first time they had kissed her in real time, soft and focused, Xia Qian felt that she seemed to have a little attachment to the man in front of her.

Clearly couldn't believe him, but she could still feel this way, she pinched her fingers fiercely.

Yu Nuan said that the medicine that Lin Qianxue gave to Xia Qian was a new muscle powder exclusively made by the divine doctor Dingfeng, which not only removed saprophytic muscles but also left no scars after use.

The miracle doctor Dingfeng has been dead for 20 years, and this medicine is extremely rare, so it is precious.

After hovering in the plane tree for a few days, the two magpies actually set up a nest on the branches, and although she didn't like them, she still occasionally glanced at them.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xia Qian saw the beautiful scenery of Qinglong City for the first time, so she wanted to go out more and more, but no matter what she said, Huo Zun did not allow her to go out with Bai Bing and Yu Nuan.

This made her very distressed, and she didn't want to pay attention to him for a few days, although he didn't explain, but he came back from outside three times a day with delicious food and fun, and changed his way to make her happy.

Xia Qian saw that there was no hope, so she no longer got angry with him.

Huo Zun was with her almost all the time when he was at home, and when he ate, he spread the dishes into her bowl one by one, and watched her finish with a smile.

At night he would hold her from behind, bury his head in the back of her neck and smell her hair to sleep, but he never mentioned the round room, nor did he ever force her.

In recent days, she found that Huo Zun spent less and less time at home, but with a maid by her side, she didn't feel bored.

One day, Yu Nuan told her that Huo Zun was working as a bounty hunter outside.

She was stunned for a moment, she was not unfamiliar with the name Bounty Hunter, she had read it in books and TV series, but she was still sour when she thought that he was once the pride of the sky, and now he had fallen to this point in order to support his family.

Huo Zun never told her about this, he was looking for an excuse to go out every day, and when he came back, he stepped into the bathroom, and when he came out, he smiled and said that he accompanied his friend to ride a horse and shoot arrows.

Seeing that he went out early and returned late all day long in order to support his family, Xia Qian felt sour from his heart to the tip of his nose.

Thinking of the silver ticket given by Lu Jingheng, she found it out and saw that it was written "Silver One Thousand Dollars", and hurriedly took it to find Bai Bing.

Bai Bing looked at it for a long time and said that he couldn't let Huo Zun see it, otherwise he would definitely be able to find out its source.

All three of them were grounded, and the silver ticket could not be cashed, like a blank piece of paper.

For half a month, Huo Zun has been running around outside. Although Xia Qian never asked about Huo Zun's affairs outside, she slowly began to care about him.

At the beginning, she paid attention to his diet and clothing, and from time to time asked Qingyue to boil some hot food for him. Before he got home, she would make a pot of tea and hand it to him as soon as he got home.

Huo Zun was a little surprised at first, but then watched her is joy and tenderness ripple from her eyes to her face, and she smiled happily.

More than a month passed, and she mingled with the maid in the yard.

She would often watch them work, listen to them chat, and occasionally tell them a joke.

Bai Bing and Yu Nuan were shocked by this, but they quickly blended in.

One night, he told Huo Zun a joke. Huo Zun not only didn't smile, but watched his eyes gradually become cold.

"You've never told jokes before!" He looked at her earnestly.

Xia Qian was stunned for a moment, it seems that she has slowly adapted to the life in this cage.
