Chapter 45: Troubles in every way
"Jing Yuan, are you still there?"
She asked in a whisper, slowly leaning over the leaves that stood in the way with her white hands.
Jing Yuan fell asleep shortly after closing his eyes because he was tired.
He was sitting there sleeping, his eyes closed and his mouth slightly pursed. He is very good-looking, with clear eyebrows. At this time, such a picture is like a painting, as elegant as a landscape painting.
Chu Xia saw that he was resting, so he didn't want to call him anymore, so he sat with his skirt pulled up, his eyes fixed on him. Didn't wake him up, waited quietly.
These days, he has put a lot of thought into the overthrow of the monarch, and it is almost impossible for a cultivator like them to reach the point of deep sleep.
He must be very tired, Chu Xia thought in his heart, feeling a little distressed about him.
"Huh? Sorry didn't notice you."
Jing Yuan opened his eyes and saw Chu Xia sitting beside him. He was a little surprised, he fell asleep, and he was a little embarrassed to let her wait like this.
"It's okay, I didn't bother you when I saw you asleep."
Chu Xia lowered his head, a little shy, pretending not to care, and his hands kept playing with his hair. In this way, he deliberately diverted his gaze and did not look at Jing Yuan.
The two of them sat like this, neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"By the way, what were you doing?"
Jing Yuan seemed to feel so uncomfortable, and took the initiative to break the quiet scene. But his words made Chu Xia's face blush, and he didn't know whether to answer him or not. "I...... It is...... ...... rest."
Chu Xia stammered this sentence, his face was red, Jing Yuan seemed to have guessed something, and he also felt that what he said was very inappropriate.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, he tugged at his shirt with his hand, and did not continue to speak.
"The ......"
Chu Xia was about to speak, but was interrupted by a shout. She came out to wash the vegetables, and this washing, after washing for so long, made the peasant woman waiting in the kitchen anxious. She thought that something was wrong with Chu Xia, so she hurried to the river to take a look.
"I'm sorry, I forgot about it when I saw Jing Yuan say a few words."
When the peasant woman saw Jing Yuan, she was very optimistic about the two of them. The villagers here also like the two of them very much, and they wish they could be together as soon as possible.
"It's okay, you give me the food, I'll go back and cook, you two talk here and take a walk."
As soon as these words came out, Jing Yuan and Chu Xia were embarrassed.
"Don't be like this, we just met by chance, and I promised you to cook."
Chu Xia knew what the peasant woman meant, this was deliberately matching her and Jing Yuan, she was very thin-skinned, so she didn't want to stay here and talk to him alone, she had to go back to cook in a hurry.
The peasant woman looked at the two with a smile, Jing Yuan lowered his head, didn't say a word at all, and he didn't know what to say. He raised his head and looked at Chu Xia, he was very willing to be alone with her, but he also knew that after all, it was not good to be a man and a woman.
"You girl, you are a guest, and you are so helpful to us, I can't bear to let you cook for us."
Chu Xia walked over and took the peasant woman's arm, wanting to go back with her.
"I'll go get the vegetables first, I've washed them, and I'll put them by the river."
Chu Xia walked over quickly, leaving the peasant woman and Jing Yuan alone.
"Auntie, if you don't go back to rest and rest, just let Chu Xia do her work, she can do it alone."
Jing Yuan stood up, his white clothes were not stained because he was sitting on the ground, they were still white, very clean and plain. It makes people feel comfortable to look at, and the whole person reveals the elegant temperament of the literati.
"Lord Wang, you see that Miss Chu is very good, young people have feelings, but the man has to take the initiative, and the girls are very reserved."
Jing Yuan couldn't stand up for a moment, and got down to business.
He just had a good impression of Chu Xia in his heart, but he was still quite embarrassed to directly express his intentions in this way.
He was afraid that Chu Xia would reject him, wouldn't he even be a friend in that case?
"Okay, thank you, we're still ordinary friends now, and we haven't developed any further."
Jing Yuan deliberately concealed his emotions, he felt that the time had not yet come, and emotional matters could not be easily decided, and he must be cautious.
Moreover, his identity and Chu Xia's identity are not ordinary, which is also what he is afraid of. If it is an ordinary ordinary person, he will pursue his love regardless of others and express his heart to Chu Xia, but he is the god of the divine domain, and now he is the king of Jing in the world.
He also knew Chu Xia's identity, which was why he hesitated again and again. He also knew that Chu Xia was interesting to him and had a good impression, and she probably would be worried about her identity.
Jing Yuan thought so in his heart, the peasant woman saw that Chu Xia had brought the vegetables, so she stopped talking about this topic anymore.
"Auntie, I've got the dishes, let's go back to cooking." Uncles and uncles will be busy in a while, and we can't let them go hungry."
Chu Xia smiled, she was very good-looking, she was like a fairy in the sun, she was dressed ordinarily, but she had an extraordinary heart, which attracted Jing Yuan deeply.
"Okay, this girl just has to keep herself busy."
The peasant woman walked over, and Chu Xia took the initiative to hold her arm, this kind of action, Chu Xia had only done to his mother's relatives and paintings. She misses her mother a lot, but she became a sinner in Manchu because of those things, and her family doesn't seem to have given her a good look since then.
This made her feel cold, but there was no way, this was the reality. When she lost her ability, her family made things difficult for her, and even said that she was abusive, this is her blood relatives, so I think they don't leave the same blood.
Coming to this village, Chu Xia was very happy, she experienced the feeling of home, it was a warm feeling. The people here are very simple and sincere, and they really treat them as if they were her own family, and she loves this kind of life.
"Jing Yuan, then my aunt and I will go cook first, you can rest here for a while, and then bring everyone over to eat later."
Chu Xia spoke to Jing Yuan, there didn't seem to be anything embarrassing between them, everything was fine, there wasn't so much embarrassment, and they could get along well.
Jing Yuan nodded, watching Chu Xia leave with the peasant woman in his arms, he turned around and sat down, looking at the scenery by the river, the air here is very good, everything is beautiful. He was also in a good mood, and if he could stay here with Chu Xia all the time, he would be the most willing.
Chu Xia was in the kitchen, and the peasant woman was lighting a fire, she took out the washed wild vegetables, cut them, and put them all over again. I found the flour and put it in a large porcelain jar.
There are a lot of them, so they have to meet a lot. Chu Xia's figure was very slender, and he didn't have that much strength to make such a big dough of noodles. This made her very difficult, and after the peasant woman had made a fire, she added cold water to the large vegetable pot.
She's making a fire to boil water, and she'll be cooking noodles in a while.
The peasant woman looked at Chu Xia's little arm, and she was so struggling with her face, so she went over to help. It took the two of them to reconcile the dough. After that, it's time to cut the noodles, Chu Xia's knife work is very good, and it will be completed in a while.
Chu Xia put all the noodles into a large frame, and while it was down, he was stirring it with chopsticks, for fear that the noodles would stick together.
The peasant woman added wild vegetables to the side, so that it was very fresh, and it looked very light, and it would not get angry.
Chu Xia rinsed the porcelain jar with water, added cold water to it, and put the freshly cooked hot noodles into it, so that the noodles were not hot, and then she was going to stir-fry.
There are no special dishes here, they are all cabbage and radishes, so you can only fry these. There are no condiments, and the most is added with peppercorns and chili peppers.
Her cooking is very good-looking, and the peasant woman also praises her, but she didn't expect that she was born in a general's family and would cook by herself. is really a knowledgeable and courteous, able to write and martial arts
, a good girl who can cook.
"Chu Xia, you're fine, big girl, it's time to think about getting married."
Chu Xia understood the meaning of the peasant woman's words very well, and she had always been embarrassed to talk about this topic. She is very thin-skinned, and she has never said anything about men and women, and she doesn't know much about it.
However, it is undeniable that she does have different feelings for Jing Yuan and other men. But she wasn't sure that this was the so-called love, and she was going to talk about marriage. And as a girl, she should be reserved, Jing Yuan didn't bring it up, how could she take the initiative.
"Auntie, I'm still young, it's a bit early to talk about this."
"It's not early, when my aunt is the same age as you, she is already married and pregnant!"
The peasant woman was particularly happy, and said to Chu Xia with a smile. Chu Xia was really a little shaken in her heart, it turned out that the husband family that her family found for her was Jing Cheng, the little son of the Nanwang family, and she didn't feel it at all in her heart when she was a concubine.
Now, when it comes to the relationship with Jing Yuan, my heart is pounding, and I am a little nervous.
When the meal was almost done, the peasant woman went out first, and she went to call the men who were working in the fields to come back and eat.
Chu Xia brought out all the dishes and chopsticks, there were a lot of things, she set them one by one, and then served them a meal. She waited here, not knowing if the food she cooked was to her liking.
She will see Jing Yuan in a while, Chu Xia will actually be nervous in her heart, or it may be that the words of the peasant woman just now made her feel uneasy.
She placed the pots and pans she had already used in the large pool and prepared to brush them properly in a while. It was indeed not easy to carry this big pot, and Chu Xia was tired and sweating.
She sat down in her chair and brushed there with the same brush she used to brush pots, and heard the men talking.
