Xin Yi squinted at him.

The man was calm, put the tea cake in the bluestone jar and grinded it into tea powder, and then scooped it out with a teaspoon and put it into the tea cup, poured the boiling water into the pot, and brewed it into a paste......

"You can order tea?"

Fu Jiuqu smiled disapplausively.

"What's so hard about that? Anything that is elegant and elegant, you will learn it as soon as you learn it."

Xin Yi has been in this world for a long time longer than him, but he is not fully adapted to the life of the Song people, and he is only a few months, doing better than her, more like the ancients than her.

Xin Yi closed his eyes, not letting the shadow of Brother Jiu emerge from him.

"What about the second?"

Fu Jiuqu handed the sticky thing like matcha to Xin Yi.

"Ming repairs the plank road, and secretly crosses Chen Cang. If we don't draw their attention to the beam gate, how can we easily get out of the water gate?"

"I don't drink."

Xin Yi refused his tea, his lips moved slightly, and he wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything.

The voice sounded hesitant.

"Actually, it's easier for you to go out of the city alone. Why make such a big fuss? Just to catch Chen Zhizhong's handle?"

Fu Jiuqu lowered his head and blew the foam in the teacup, staring at her softly, and laughing a little badly.

"Some people are at ease when they take them with them."

Xin Yi snorted lightly and heavily.

"You just challenged authority, you did it on purpose."

Fu Jiuqu smiled lightly and did not respond.

Xin Yi frowned, "This time, the three children will be left behind. I promised them to go to Yangzhou together, but this is what I said?"

Fu Jiuqu sighed lightly and shook his head, "If you believe me, just close your eyes and rest, waiting to see the child tomorrow." If you don't believe me......

He glanced at the riverbank and smiled wickedly.

"You swim back?"

··

The fishing boats swayed in the wind and snow, and only arrived at the ten-mile slope of Chenliu when it was dark.

On a dead winter night, there were only two dim wind lanterns hanging on wooden pillars, and the river was covered with sediment, and occasionally one or two cargo ships stopped and quickly left, showing a state of desolation.

It was too close to Bianjing, and the ships were either short of supplies or headed for the capital in one go. Therefore, it is a good place to stop.

"Come." Fu Jiuqu went ashore, moored the boat, and stretched out his hand towards Xin Yi.

Along the way, he was both a coolie and a servant, and took great care of Xin Yi, Xin Yi glanced at his snow-stained eyebrows, did not reserve, and slowly put his hand in his palm.

After roasting all the way to the fire, I went ashore, and the snow and wind blew over, and it was so cold that my bones ached.

She silently clenched her arms, and a cloak fell on her shoulders.

Fu Jiuqu tied her clothes, patted the snow on her head, pulled up the hat of the cloak to cover her head, and then turned around and bent down to extinguish the charcoal fire on the fishing boat and take off the burden.

"Let's go."

Xin Yi glanced at both sides of the river embankment that were unpopulated, and asked suspiciously:

"Where are you taking me?"

Fu Jiuqu: "Sold you for wine money."

Xin Yi glanced at him.

Seeing that she didn't snort anymore, Fu Jiuqu took the lead in front of her, slowing down her steps.

"Don't underestimate this embankment, it's comparable to the Su Causeway...... There is a lake on the south shore, called Shili Lake, there is an island in the middle of the lake, there are houses on the island, there is a small bridge to connect it, and the two banks are shaded by green willows......

Xin Yi frowned, "How do you know?"

Fu Jiuqu: "Before I returned to Beijing, I saw it on the road. Let's go, I can't sell you, and you're not worth a few bucks."

Does this man have to say so badly?

Xin Yi ignored him and walked straight towards the south bank.

Before the snow fell, the green willows on the south bank swayed their branches in the snow and mist, shivering, and had not yet sent out a tender enough to be comparable to that of Su Dike

Green leaves and buds, a farmhouse is hidden in the willow forest near the lake, and the quiet lights exude quiet warmth in the winter night, like a paradise without contention.

"Goo-goo-goo......

"Goo-goo-goo-goo......"

In the fence yard, a peasant woman wearing a turban carried a bamboo basket, sprinkled the chaff in the basket in the stone trough at the corner of the eaves, and called her chickens home in the willow forest.

With a flying kick, the ball came over the fence.

Fu Jiuqu smiled lightly, lifted his placket, stopped the ball steadily, and then kicked it back.

The little boy stared at the men and women in the wind and snow with wide eyes, stunned, and screamed in surprise.

"Daddy, mother...... It's that person, it's that person who has come back."

"Dad, mother! Come and see."

The little boy was as fast as a spinning top, ran into the room like the wind and called his father, ran to the edge of the chicken coop to call his mother, and then quickly ran to Fu Jiuqu in front of Fu Jiuqu with his beloved squatting ball and stopped.

He looked at them curiously, his eyes flickering with a lovely light.

At this time, the peasant couple also came out of the room, their faces were honest and simple, and when they saw Fu Jiuqu, they showed smile lines on their faces.

"Where did Eun Gong go, and where did he come from?"

Fu Jiuqu: "It's hard to put into words."

He looked down at Xin Yi beside him, and bowed, "My husband and wife have nowhere to go tonight, so they came to spend the night, I don't know if it is convenient for the virtuous couple?"

The couple looked at each other, smiled and returned the salute, and bowed uncontrollably.

"Convenient, convenient, two distinguished guests, please."

Before his voice fell, he smiled and commanded his son.

"Go and catch a fat chicken, let your father slaughter it, and greet your guests."

Xin Yi was taken aback and hurriedly stopped.

Judging by their clothes and home furnishings, they are not rich and noble. Ordinary chickens are raised to lay eggs, and they will not be slaughtered and eaten casually, and she does not do anything lacking in virtue.

The woman chuckled.

"I look at the lady's appearance, she is pregnant with Rokka, right?"

Xin Yi smiled shyly, and the woman immediately became happy.

"The lady is the time to cultivate her body, but she can't be careless. Don't worry, Engong left us a lot of silver that day, not to mention a chicken, even if he slaughtered all my chickens and ate them, it is more than enough."

Xin Yi was stunned and raised his eyes to look at Fu Jiuqu.

The man raised his eyebrows proudly and looked at the lights in the back room.

··

It is inconvenient to stay in other people's homes, Xin Yi is not good at making any requests, and he will do what he can, but the family got Fu Jiuqu's silver taels, and they wanted to repay them in every possible way, but everything they had at home was taken out to entertain.

After the meal, the woman specially boiled a pot of hot water, washed the wooden bucket with soap horns over and over again, carried it to the room for Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu to use, and let the main house where she lived out, and changed the clean bedding that was washed white, and then took her husband and son to the side room.

This is a kind and simple couple, Xin Yi is very moved.

However, looking at the only wooden couch in the humble room, she soon realized that the situation was not good—

There is no extra furniture, except for a bed and a quilt, not even a chair, of course, there is no surplus mat and quilt for Fu Jiuqu to lay on the floor.

On such a cold day, it was snowing outside, could she get Fu Jiuqu out?

"We ......"

Xin Yi looked at Fu Jiuqu hesitantly, his gaze wandering.

Fu Jiuqu pointed to the wooden couch: "You sleep inside, I sleep outside."

After that, he glanced at her and sneered lazily, "Don't worry, I don't eat people."

That's it.

Xin Yi hung his head in silence and pulled open the quilt to make the sheets.

The two of them fell silent, and there seemed to be a stagnant chill floating in the air.

Fu Jiuqu looked at her back.

"Do you suspect that I deliberately arranged this to take advantage of you?"

Xin Yi: "No."

"No, you don't look back at me?"

Fu Jiuqu said normally, as if he had spoken to Xin Yi's heart.

Her fingers paused for a moment, but she didn't speak. Because she was not ready to share a bed with him, her heart was beating so hard that she didn't know if she could keep her emotions stable if she faced his face again.

"I don't have any other choice." Fu Jiuqu stared at the back of his head under the dim light.

"One, we can't go to the foot store of the guest house, attract attention, and leave a handle."

"Second, we can't stay on the fishing boat. Not to mention the cold at night, in case, if one hundred secrets are sparse, let someone with a heart catch up, wouldn't it be a stolen person?"

Xin Yi looked back, "I don't blame you. Saying so much makes it seem like you're very weak-hearted......

Fu Jiuqu took a breath, his heart felt as if he had been scratched by something, and the roots of his ears were hot.

He looked away and brought the bucket of water.

"Do you want to wash?"

Xin Yi glanced at him.

The man is dressed in ordinary cloth clothes but his elegance is undiminished, his body is like a jade tree, and his complexion is outstanding, no matter how he looks at it, he is a handsome gentleman, not a young man who can play that little trick.

"I'm not going to wash tonight."

It's not that I don't want to wash, it's that it's inconvenient to wash in front of men.

She took off her shoes and socks and was about to go to bed, but Fu Jiuqu saw through her thoughts.

"I'll go sit outside for a while. Wash it and call me."

He turned and opened the door, and his slender and straight figure stepped out of the threshold, blending into the darkness outside, leaving only a trace of cold wind gently brushing Xin Yi's hair......
