The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 241 The scenery of my hometown that I can’t go back to
"Is this plum scented paper?" Xiao Lianxi handed over the handkerchief and said in surprise: "I only saw records in ancient books, but I didn't expect that there really is plum scented paper!"

Plum scented paper, as the name suggests, has the fragrance of cold plum blossoms. There are also faint dark plum blossom patterns on the paper, but they are not raised, so the craftsmanship is extremely demanding.

Jing Lixin said, I know you arty girls like this kind of tone, so I have to improve it and take the opportunity to make some money.

Xiao Lianyun carefully pulled out a piece of paper: "Ah Li, is this made by your family?"

Jing Li nodded and said: "The new product that has recently been released is not yet on the market. Let me bring it over for you to take a look at. Is this good?"

Cousin Lan said with envy on her face: "This is simply too good!"

"Sister Ah Li, please leave more for me. I have to give some to the elders in the family."

Several girls nearby also followed suit: "Girl, you have to leave some for us!"

Xiao Lianxin was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief. She didn't expect this country bumpkin to have such good things.

The steward came over and said, "Girls, the banquet is about to begin. It's getting late, why not go to the garden pavilion to drink and admire the moon!"

When Jingli looked at the sky, it was indeed filled with sunset. Hey, there was no way he could go back tonight.

I might as well go to a few bookstores tomorrow to run some business, and save myself a wasted trip.

The maids filed in and placed dishes, drinks, fruits and cakes one by one in the garden pavilion.

Another maid lit incense to prevent mosquitoes from biting these wealthy ladies.

Before the banquet started, the young master was announced at the other end.

Xiao Lianyun said happily: "I thought eldest brother had forgotten today!"

Xiao Yifeng entered the backyard and saw the girl wearing an ice blue wide-sleeved dress from a distance. She was particularly eye-catching among the girls.

"Miss Jing, long time no see. How are you doing?"

Jing Li stood up and returned the greeting: "Thank you, Master, for your greetings. Everything is well at home!"

The two of them exchanged polite words, but Xiao Yifeng didn't dare to look too long. After giving the gift to his sister, he looked over casually.

But when he saw Jingli looking at the flowers in the courtyard, not paying attention to herself at all, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart.

Xiao Lianxin sneered in her heart. Her father said that day that her eldest brother liked this bitch, but he still refused to admit it. His eyes were almost glued to her, and he even said he didn't like her.

This Miss Jing was also very powerful, and she actually seduced the eldest young master of the Xiao family and couldn't forget her.

After Xiao Yifeng left, the banquet officially began, and the ladies naturally wanted to have some banquet tricks.

"Are you playing drumming to pass flowers or playing poems?" Xiao Lianyun looked at everyone and said with a smile.

Xiao Lianxi looked at Jing Li and said, "What do you want to play?"

Jingli gnawed on the fruit nonchalantly: "You can do whatever you want, I'm not good at it anyway!"

Cousin Yu'er smiled and said: "Sister Li's words are so interesting, but I like it. I happen to be the one who doesn't know anything!"

Her sister laughed and scolded: "Narrow-minded ghost! You will find excuses for yourself!"

Xiao Lianxi looked at everyone and said, "Why don't we just play drumming and pass flowers? The loser will either perform a talent show or drink!"

The maids brought silk flowers and waited blindfolded to beat the drums.

After a drumming sound, the silk flower fell into the hands of cousin Lan. The girl waved to someone to bring the pipa.

The song "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon" was played so smoothly that even a layman like Jing Li could hear it very well.

When the song ended, the girls all cheered, and the maid poured fruit wine for the girls.Xiao Lianyun picked up the wine glass and said, "Dear sisters, let's learn from the knights of the rivers and lakes today, how about we try to stay drunk?"

"This is the best Xingyu plum wine. My mother-in-law specially reserved it for my birthday to drink."

Xiao Lianxi laughed and scolded: "Just say you can drink if you want. We are all boudoir girls. What's the point of losing your temper when you drink too much!"

"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Lianyun said boldly: "Cousin Lan and cousin Yu'er will live in our house today. This is an agreement!"

"Ah Li, you're not allowed to leave either. It's a rare time for you to come here, but please stay with me!"

"There are two sisters. You live close by. Even if you want to go back home, I will just send someone back!"

Jing Li smiled and said, "That won't work. I have something to do as I said today. I can't break my promise and just won't stay."

The Xiao family is considered an aristocratic family and they came to attend the birthday banquet. As far as Jingli was concerned, it was because they couldn't show off their favors.

If she is allowed to rest in this big family, she probably won't be able to sleep well.

Xiao Lianyun saw that Jingli had made an appointment with someone, so she no longer forced her to stay, and started a new round of passing on the flowers.

This time it fell into the hands of Yu'er's cousin. The girl smiled and said: "My sister has played the pipa, so I won't show off my shame. I will sing for everyone!"

The girl's clear voice was extremely sweet, and the whole garden was filled with the girl's singing.

Soon the third round began, and this time the flowers fell into Jingli's hands.

Jingli Luoluo said generously: "I wonder if I have a pottery xun prepared?"

Xiao Lianxi was startled, and then asked the maid to get Tao Xun.

Jingli took the Tao Xun and tried it, playing the song "Original Scenery of Hometown". The music was profound, long, simple and far-reaching.

Jingli seemed to have returned to her previous life. At the end of the mission, she and her teammates were lying in the ruins, looking at the setting sun on the horizon. From time to time, she would take out her Tao Xun and play this song.

The long-term killing mission, sometimes not only killing zombies, but also killing humans who are robbing the territory and resources, even though I am numb, my nerves are still tense.

She doesn't know anything else, and often relies on Tao Xun to relieve her mental stress.

Behind the garden partition wall, Xiao Yifeng listened quietly. Is she missing her hometown?
Isn't she living a wonderful life now? Why does this song sound a little sad?
Jingli's thoughts were going back and forth between the past and present lives, the intersection of time and space, and for a moment she couldn't even tell which was true and which was false.

After the song ended, a trace of confusion arose in her heart. She was lonely in this time and space. Although she had so many relatives, there was still an inexplicable barrier between them.

"Ah Li, you actually have such talent, I almost cried when I heard it!" Xiao Lianyun said excitedly: "I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered my hometown in Qingzhou!"

The other girls were also a little sad. They all fled to Chang'an with their families after the fall of their hometown, and they didn't know if they could go back in this life.

Xiao Lianxi gently lectured her sister: "Today is your birthday, a happy day, so what are you talking about!"

Jing Li leaned forward and said, "I'm just being presumptuous, this song is a bit unpleasant!"

Cousin Yu'er said playfully: "Come on, have a drink, Sister Ayun said, I'm going to stay drunk today!"

The girls were having fun, drinking, and playing hut.

In order not to stand out too much, Jingli made a few random shots, not wanting these girls to be too elegant and make Jingli a target.

Cousin Yu'er's eyes shone brightly: "Sister Ah Li, you are so amazing, I want to worship you as my teacher!"

"Drink!" Xiao Lianyun waved her hand: "If you want to worship Ah Li, you have to pass my test first!"

She was drunk. For some reason, Jing Li felt like she was a little drunk.
