Chapter 77

"Of course it's true." Ling Xiao said with a smile: "You pack up all the messy things that are inconvenient to carry with you. I'll send someone back to the capital first, and then we'll ride back to see the colorful Danxia first, and then We can go see Hukou Waterfall, Wanshou Mountain, Pearl Lake, Qianfo Mountain, and Laojun Mountain."

"Really?" Zuo Xiangning clapped her hands excitedly, walked two steps in the room, and said, "I'll go back and pack my things now."

"We have the whole day tomorrow, why are you in a hurry?" Ling Xiao smiled and pulled her, "You haven't said why you're here yet?"

"Me?" Zuo Xiangning whispered, "I came to see if you were hurt?"

"Are you concerned about me?" Ling Xiao leaned over and asked, "I haven't been back these days, are you worried about me?"

Zuo Xiangning blushed, stretched out her hand toward him, and said, "I want to ask you for something."

"What is it?" Ling Xiao asked, "As long as I have it, I will give it to you."

"How many good medicines do you still have?" Zuo Xiangning's eyes turned into crescents and she said with a smile: "When you returned to the capital, you had all the good medicines, but my eldest brother and my uncle are here, but there is a shortage of medicines. If they stay, they can make the best use of everything and be prepared for trouble.”

Ling Xiao snorted and whispered: "If I get something good in the future, I'll have to carry it with you, or else I'll have to drag you back to your parents' home..."

"What are you mumbling about?" Zuo Xiangning approached him and asked, "Will you give it to me or not?"

"Here, can I not give it to you if you want it?" Ling Xiao looked at her big shining eyes and had the urge to take a bite.

He quickly turned away and put several medicine bottles in his arms into her hands, "This is good trauma medicine. You take it first. When I return to the capital, I will get some for them."

Zuo Xiangning took it with both hands and thanked her with a smile, "I just said that the prince is very generous. Just wait, I will cook two dishes for you."

Ling Xiao looked at her cheerful back and said with a smile: "Can you cook? Can you eat it?"

"Since the Crown Prince doesn't trust me so much, then I won't do it." Zuo Xiangning stopped and turned around and said, "I want to express my gratitude to the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince doesn't accept it, so I can only express my gratitude. Express regret."

"Who says I won't accept it? Even if you fry arsenic for me, I will still eat it all." Ling Xiao said sternly: "As long as it is made by you, to me, it is a delicacy in the world."

"Nonsense." Zuo Xiangning was so amused by his serious expression that she covered her mouth and chuckled.

Zuo Xiangning went to the kitchen and made scrambled eggs and fried pork with pepper.

Ling Xiao took a bite and found that it was very delicious.

"You are very good." Ling Xiao finished the two dishes. "To reward you, I will give you something."

"What?" Zuo Xiangning sat there, feeling very happy seeing how delicious he was eating.

Ling Xiao took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to her, "This is for you."

Zuo Xiangning held it in her hand and looked at the pattern on it. It was the same as the pattern she embroidered on his clothes. "Does this have any special meaning?"

"Take it to Furui pawnshops everywhere and you can withdraw cash directly. If you are in danger, you can go there directly for help." Ling Xiao whispered: "Keep it and don't tell others."

"I don't want it." Zuo Xiangning knew it was of great significance as soon as she heard it, and hurriedly and carefully returned it to his hand, "It's too precious, so the prince should keep it for himself."

Zuo Xiangning stood up, put the dishes on the table back into the food box, and ran away, "I'm going back first. Your Majesty, please rest early."

Ling Xiao looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and suddenly felt confused. She was so concerned about him today, so she obviously meant for him.

But why does she immediately retreat further when she wants to take a step forward?
What is she afraid of?
Two days later, Zuo Xiangning got on the carriage back to Beijing.

"You must be obedient on the way and don't cause trouble to the prince. When you get home, report to me that you are safe. Also, you will not be allowed to run here again without my consent..." Zuo Zixi was in the car. There was endless chatter outside the window.

"Brother, I understand." Zuo Xiangning was lying at the window with red eyes and said: "You and your uncle must also pay attention to safety and write more letters to home. If you have time, go home and stay for some time. .”

"Well," Zuo Zixi nodded, "When you have nothing to do, you can embroider and draw at home. Don't run around. If you don't feel comfortable staying at home, go to Cangzhou with your mother to live for some time..." "You guys Are the two brothers and sisters finished?" Jiang Muhuai urged from the side: "If you keep talking like this, we won't be able to reach Zhangye before dark."

Zuo Zixi took out a check from his arms and handed it to Zuo Xiangning, "This is the money you need to build a villa."

"I have money." In the few days since Zuo Xiangning came, her eldest brother gave her 500 taels of silver.

"Your elder brother gave it to you, what are you embarrassed to ask for?" Jiang Muhuai also took out a banknote from his arms and gave it to her, "This is mine. After the other courtyard is built, don't forget to leave a room for your uncle. "

"Little uncle, I really have money, my mother gave it to me..."

"Take it, uncle and uncle, no different from father." Zuo Zixi smiled and asked Zuo Xiangning to put the banknote away, "then leave a room for me and my uncle in the other courtyard, and let us go to the hot springs occasionally. .”

"That's natural." Zuo Xiangning agreed with a smile.

"Let's go." Zuo Zixi waved his hand to Ling Xiao next to him.

"Be safe on the road." Jiang Muhuai also waved his hand.

Zuo Xiangning was crying and waving her hands. She waited until no one could be seen anymore before Zuo Xiangning lowered the curtains.

The car curtain flashed and Ling Xiao walked in.

Seeing Zuo Xiangning wiping her red eyes, she asked with a smile: "How much money have I given you to make you so happy?"

Zuo Xiangning opened the banknote in her hand and was surprised at first, but then she held up the banknote to Ling Xiao with a smile on her face and said, "One ticket costs five thousand, totaling 1 taels."

"They are so generous to you." Ling Xiao also smiled and said: "Hurry up and put it away, so that you can buy a few more shops when you return to the capital."

"That's it." Zuo Xiangning proudly opened her coat, took out an oil paper bag from the inner pocket, put the banknotes in the bag, and put it back again.

"This bag of yours is well made. If you put it in it, you don't have to worry about it being stolen." Ling Xiao said, "Next time you make clothes for me, sew one for me inside."

"You'd better find someone else." Zuo Xiangning stopped smiling, "You may not be able to appreciate me if I light a lamp and stay up all night, so I won't bother."

"Who says I don't like you?" Ling Xiao tilted his head and looked at her, "Don't you know why I was angry last time?"

Of course Zuo Xiangning knew.

She herself was sad for several days.

Ling Xiao sat opposite her and asked, "After returning to the capital, I will prepare someone to go to Zuofu to propose marriage."

Zuo Xiangning's face changed slightly, and the nightmare came to her mind again.

She clasped her hands together and dug her nails into her palms.

Ling Xiao's eyes moved from her small face to her fingers with white joints.

He reached out suddenly and took hold of her fingers.

He could feel her cold fingers trembling slightly.

"Xiang Ning, what are you afraid of?"

Zuo Xiangning raised her long eyelashes and looked at the man in front of her tangledly, her eyes slowly becoming mist-filled.

"Did I die in that strange dream of yours?"
