spring cloud warm

Chapter 278
Another three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Nothing but Xiaoxing overnight stay, hungry food and thirsty drink.Because there is nothing urgent, the road is not in a hurry.

That night, a group of people rested in a place called Majiadian.After the second drum, everyone stopped.

Jiang Nuan lay on the bed without any sleepiness, perhaps the moonlight was so beautiful, shining brightly into the tent, it reminded her of many things.

I want to go to the stove on March [-], and everyone will make shepherd's purse wontons together.I want to escape the heat in Zhuangzi in summer and touch loach in the pond.Thinking of holding a long bamboo pole to beat jujubes before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the red jujubes fell all over the ground like rain.There is also a stove in the first snow in winter, sitting on the heated kang, eating mutton and drinking glutinous rice wine.

The more I think about it, the more empty my heart becomes, and the drowsiness seems to have been stolen, without a trace.

Sang's mother's snoring had been sounding outside for a long time, and the snoring of Zhui Zi was long and steady on the couch by the door.

Bell has been sleeping very quietly, Jiang Nuan was not sure if she was asleep, so she coughed twice.

There was no movement over there, so Jiang Nuan knew that she was fast asleep too, otherwise she would have to ask herself if she would drink tea.

Lifting the bed curtain, Jiang Nuan lightly landed on the ground and came to the window.

The fragrance of the grass and trees was brought in by the evening wind, and the moon hung upright in the middle of the sky, splashing silver light unobstructed.

Someone was playing a flute far away, the sound of the flute was blown intermittently by the wind, making it difficult to hear clearly.

The streets under the clear light are empty, only the shadows of trees.

A thought came out of Jiang Nuan's heart, and she couldn't suppress it anymore - she wanted to go outside.

Do nothing but walk around.

Jiang Nuan crawled down the window, and as soon as her feet hit the ground, she felt that it was really cool outside. The night wind was blowing mightily, and she couldn't help squinting her eyes comfortably.

He let out a long breath, and the dull feeling in his heart seemed to become lighter.

Jiang Nuan walked slowly along a street, exhaling and inhaling heavily as he walked, as if he could spit out the depression in his heart by doing this.

Before leaving, her aunt repeatedly told her to be prudent and sensible, and not to act casually as usual.

She knew that what her aunt said was right, and it was for her own good.

But temper is innate, and she is not sure that she can really change it.

Don't they all say that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change?

Jiang Nuan grew up with her grandmother, aunts and uncles. Everyone in her family has a straightforward temperament and a kind heart, and she herself is also straightforward.

Jiang Nuan didn't like reading, and there were no scholars in her family. Her father was a Jinshi, but he didn't live with her since she was a child.

My grandmother's family never said a bad word about my father, but this couldn't stop Jiang Nuan from having a lump in his heart.

At the beginning, her mother stayed in Dengzhou and did not accompany her father to take office.

When my father left, he originally took an aunt with him, so that he could take care of her on the road.But soon after he took office, he took another concubine and gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another.

At that time, Jiang Nuan's mother was lingering on the sick bed, but she still thought that one day she would recover from her illness and reunite with her husband.

The concubine's room in Minzhou was originally the daughter of an exiled official. Later, the emperor gave him a favor and his family was restored to prosperity.In addition, Jiang Nuan's mother had passed away, so his father straightened this concubine's room, which is now the Meng family.

Meng's eldest daughter is only one year younger than Jiang Nuan.

She couldn't figure it out, didn't her father miss her mother's body?It's not that there is no one to take care of her, but she can't wait to take in another room for a new aunt.What is going on in a man's mind?

Some people say that men always take concubines, which is human nature.

My uncle and aunt have been married for more than ten years, and my aunt is not intolerant of others, but up to now she is not even willing to accept a concubine, which shows that people are different after all.

I don't know what kind of people her stepmother and younger siblings are. Are they really as good as what Pan's mother said?
Jiang Nuan was thinking wildly, and walked a long way without knowing it.

When she realized that the road she was walking was a bit remote, she could no longer see the inn she was staying in.

This is a narrow alley, with a high wall on the south side, which seems to be the backyard of a temple, and a deserted garden on the north side, with dilapidated walls, deep grass and tall trees, blocking most of the moonlight.

Jiang Nuan's heart suddenly tightened, she felt that this place was not a place to stay for a long time.

Just when she turned around, a person came out from the dark, his footsteps were very light, but Jiang Nuan still heard it.

She couldn't help speeding up her pace, but the man was faster and caught up with him in a few steps.

Jiang Nuan was hesitating whether to run or turn back, when a cold and hard thing hit her back.

She knew that it should be an unsheathed dagger.

"Girl, stay a step," the man's voice was colder and harder than a dagger, and it was not an accent from the Central Plains: "Do you have any money with you?"

Jiang Nuan is from a girl's family, but her grandfather and uncle are both military officers. She has heard some things about the battlefield and the rivers and lakes since she was a child, and she knows that she has met Jie Dao.

She didn't think the thief was gentle and refined, but only thought he should be an "veteran".

It's just that I don't want to be afraid of screaming and causing trouble, so I speak so softly.

Jiang Nuan can also do a few tricks, which she secretly learned when her uncle taught her two cousins, but she is not arrogant enough to think that she can deal with this person behind her.

Even if you can't see it, you can still feel that this person is tall, not to mention that he has a knife in his hand.

"There are twenty taels of silver here, take it!" Jiang Nuan took out the purse and said, "Just don't hurt me."

In fact, what she was most afraid of was not getting hurt, but more worried about that person having evil thoughts about her.

If that's the case, he will have to die, and must not be humiliated.

"I only want five taels." The man took five taels of silver from his wallet, "I'm lending you."

This was beyond Jiang Nuan's expectation.

"You can take it all, as long as you don't hurt me, I will never report to the police." Jiang Nuan said again.

"If there is a chance, I will return it to you." The man said and withdrew the dagger.

"No need," Jiang Nuan didn't turn her head. Her uncle said that in such a situation, it's best not to look at the villains, so as not to anger them: "I'm just passing by here, and I'm leaving tomorrow morning."

"Where are you going?" The man seemed very stubborn: "I will go to you and return it to you if I have money."

"I'm going to Daizhou." Jiang Nuan didn't say that she was going to the capital, but she didn't like to lie, so she said a place that she would pass halfway.

"Well, I'll wait for you at Lion Bridge in Daizhou in half a month," the man said, "It's also about this time."

Jiang Nuan has never been to Daizhou, but she has heard of Lion Bridge.

There are many people in the world who have never been to Daizhou, but there are not many people who have never heard of Lion Bridge.

"Okay, I got it." Of course Jiang Nuan didn't plan to go, so she just said "I got it" and nothing else.

"You must go," the man emphasized again: "I am like this today, it is a last resort."
