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

Chapter 96 Eating
Just as Xiao Lianyun brother and sister were pressed down, Huo Shen said quietly: "It is said that Xiao Yuandao, the emperor's master at that time, ordered future generations not to enter the capital, but now the Xiao family members are becoming officials and marrying each other. , he must have a broad mind that saves the common people."

Xiao Lianyun choked instantly. Her grandfather's last words were known to almost everyone in the court, but her second uncle refused to be left alone and jumped up and down in the court, making everyone laugh at the Xiao family for betraying their ancestors' last words for the sake of fame.

Xiao Yifeng was a little embarrassed: "That's true, but we and other descendants failed to live up to expectations and ignored the words of our ancestors, which resulted in many clan members dying in Kyoto."

Huo Shen poured a cup of tea slowly: "Really? Since the snow in front of my house has not been swept away, let alone the frost on other people's tiles!"

Xiao Yifeng became more and more ashamed, but Xiao Lianyun became even more angry: "My family has a good reputation and ignores my grandfather's last words, but this country belongs to the Tantai family after all. Can Prince Changling bear to watch the lives of his family in ruins?"

Huo Shen sneered: "The world is dead, so what does it have to do with King Changling? Did he ever say that he would save the people of the world?"

"Isn't it your second uncle who said he wanted to save the world? Isn't it your Xiao family who asked Kyoto to give up resistance and run away with his family?"

"You" Miss Xiao Lianyun was so angry that she almost burst into tears.

Jingli stretched out her hand under the table and pinched the tender flesh of Huo Shen's waist, staring at him fiercely: Do you dare to say another word and try?

"Eat! Let's eat!" Several people in Jingjia Village came to their senses in confusion and greeted the Xiao brothers and sisters with a dry smile.

Xiao Yifeng took a long breath: "My Xiao family does have an unshirkable responsibility for the loss of Kyoto."

Although it was his second uncle Xiao Zhizong who made the decision, as the legitimate son of the Xiao family, how could he stay out of the matter.

Huo Shen sneered, but stopped talking, only feeling that the hand on his waist was a little harder.

Seeing that he no longer verbally provoked Jingli, she was about to take back her hand, but someone grabbed her hand and held it tightly on her lap. Jingli struggled to free herself a few times, but she couldn't pull her hand away.

Fortunately, the waiter started serving the food at this time, and no one noticed anything strange here.

Jing Li tried her best to withdraw her hand and asked, "I wonder if Shopkeeper Ge is okay?"

Xiao Yifeng was startled: "Qingzhou fell, and there is no news about those servants until now. I want to come."

Xiao Yifeng couldn't go on talking about this. Not to mention domestic servants, even distant relatives of the clan left many people behind when they fled.

Jingli was also a little sad: "I think it was thanks to the mule cart that you, the shopkeeper, left for us when we fled, that we could escape smoothly!"

When the fat aunt heard that the first few mule carts were given by the Xiao family, she immediately stood up and became emotional: "Sir, girl, thank you so much for giving us the mules. I... I really don't know how to thank you."

"Your Excellency, you not only gave us mules, but also gave Ali a gold bracelet. Otherwise, where would we have the money to buy food?"

The people in Jingjia Village had received a lot of kindness from Jingli. When they heard that it was a noble person who had helped Jingli, they were all very excited, but they didn't know how to be grateful. They were all a little overwhelmed for the moment.

Gold bracelet?When Jingli cured her little sister, she was given money to express her gratitude, but there was no such thing as a gold bracelet!

The Xiao brothers and sisters looked at Jingli blankly, and Jingli laughed dryly: "Eat, eat!"

If she doesn't get a gold bracelet or something and say it's a gift from a noble person, she can't say that she earned it out of thin air with her medical skills.

The hands under the table were a little painful from being pinched by Huo Shen, but Huo Shen had a smile on his face: "It turns out that Ah Li prefers gold bracelets!"

Jing Dafu gnawed on the chicken leg and said vaguely: "No, it's such a big gold bracelet, and it's solid. When her milk was sold to Ah Li's family, when Ah Li showed off the gold bracelet, she almost blinded the people in the village. I'm blinded." Huo Shen's face turned cold: "Are you going to sell Ah Li's family?"

The fat aunt answered: "No, that old immortal is not a good thing. At first, Tu Yinzi wanted to marry Ah Li to the lame man, but Ah Li blocked her back. Unwilling to give up, she called Ren Yazi and wanted to sell Ah Li. , thanks to the things given by the noble Xiao family, we were unable to sell Ah Li, and we were able to escape in time. Speaking of which, I don’t know what happened to the old immortal family."

Xiao Lianyun said bitterly: "As a grandmother who is so cruel and ruthless, she must not die well."

Xiao Yifeng was helpless: "Ayun, you can't speak so rudely. After all, they are Miss Jing's grandmother's family."

"Huh! It's okay if my grandmother and her family don't recognize her!" Huo Shen's voice was filled with chills, making the people at the table feel inexplicably cold.

Xiao Lianyun glanced at Huo Shen with great approval, and then noticed that everyone at the table was eating, but Jing Li and Huo Shen did not move their chopsticks.

"Ah Li, why don't you pick up the vegetables? But this dish is not to your liking?"

Everyone at the table looked at Jingli after hearing this. You don't like such a delicious dish?
Jing Li's eyes glanced at Huo Shen, and Huo Shen let go of her hand and piled some vegetables into the bowl for her.

Xiao Yifeng watched from the side, his eyes flickering but he finally lowered his head to eat.

Xiao Lianyun, who had been chattering to Jing Li, didn't notice his brother's loss at all, and was still chatting with Jing Li about their farewell.

"By the way, after the people who attacked Kyoto entered Tongguan, His Highness the King of Wei strictly prohibited them from letting people in at will. How did so many of you get in?"

The people in Jingjia Village were stunned when they heard this. How did they get in? They got in by ripping off a tiger's skin. This shouldn't be said casually.

Jing Li took a sip of tea and said, "By chance, I rescued a lady on the way. She was said to be the Wang family of Dongjun. It was thanks to her that we were able to enter the customs smoothly."

Xiao Lianyun thought for a while: "The Wang family of Dongjun? That should be Wang Tan'er's family."

Jing Li was surprised: "You also recognize Wang Tan?"

Xiao Lianyun sighed: "No wonder so many of you can successfully enter the customs. It turns out that you relied on her family's connections, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do so in the future."

When Xiao Lianyun said this, he was glared at by his brother Xiao Yifeng again. Then he knew that he had made a speech problem again and hurriedly changed the topic.

"It seems that when you entered Tongguan, you heard an interesting story."

Jing Li was very interested: "Oh, what's the interesting story?"

Xiao Lianyun couldn't help but laugh and said: "The people guarding Tongguan City are spreading rumors that a concubine of King Changling has entered the pass, but no one dares to stop them. They don't know that the King of Changling is too famous. The city guard was afraid because that concubine was brave enough to dare to enter the gate openly as the concubine of King Changling."

Everyone at the table stopped, and the people in Jingjia Village looked at each other, are they talking about us?

Jingli disagreed, it was just a stopgap measure, would she still be embarrassed by it?
Xiao Yifeng couldn't bear it anymore: "Xiao Lianyun, can we speculate on the affairs of Prince Changling at will?"

Huo Shen said casually: "Why is it a concubine? Isn't it the wife of Prince Changling?"
