After the marriage, the sick and weak husband fell off the horse

Xie Chunchao raised his feet and crossed the high threshold and entered the courtyard. On the door of the main room was a warm curtain embroidered with a picture of proud snow and cold plums to block the wind, and a signboard was hung above the door curtain.

It is obviously the middle of winter, and the river outside has long frozen, but the pond in the courtyard is still trickling from the rockery, with a layer of white mist covering the pond, making it feel like you are in a fairyland.

Xie Chunchao didn't deliberately get closer to take a look, but when she passed the small pond, she accidentally saw a few beautiful red fish swimming in the pond.

Lin Jingrong raised her hand to open the curtain, and the warm air from the room rushed into their faces, warming their faces that were stiffened by the cold wind.

Yu Ning and Ming Qiu each took the big cloaks draped behind their backs for Xie Chunchao and Lin Jingrong. Xie Chunchao felt his body light up and felt much lighter in an instant.

The store owner enthusiastically stepped forward to take their things from Yu Ning and Ming Qiu, and then asked with a smile, "Do you two objectively want to soak in the hot springs? There are just two pools left."

There are two types of hot spring pools here. One is a more popular large hot spring, which is divided into men's baths and women's baths. Its price is much more cost-effective. Most of the people who come to bathe in this hot spring are from well-off families but not wealthy.

There is also a more private single bath.

As soon as the store owner saw Xie Chunchao and Lin Jingrong's dress and appearance, he knew that they would not want to be crowded in the same bathtub with others.

"Yes." Xie Chunchao replied crisply, "Keep these two hot spring pools for us."

Xie Chunchao thought to himself that she and her mother and concubine happened to be in the same bathtub, while Lin Jingrong was in the same bathtub alone.

"Okay." The shopkeeper responded crisply. The weather has been cold recently, and their business has been booming. They earn not only a pound of gold per day, but at least half a pound of gold every day.

After Yu Ning asked the price, she took out a banknote from her arms and handed it to the store, which was regarded as a formal reservation for these two hot springs.

"Why don't you go in first," Xie Chun said, "I'll wait for mother here."

Because he was away from home, Xie Chunchao didn't want to reveal his identity, so he even addressed his mother and concubine in the way ordinary people would.

"I'm not in a hurry." Lin Jingrong shook his head and said, "I'll wait with you."

There are special seats for guests to rest in the lobby. The two of them found a seat by the window and sat down. The small window was covered with a thin layer of white gauze. However, although the gauze was thin, the cold wind from outside did not blow in at all. , but allowed Xie Chunchao to vaguely see the scenery outside.

The store owner diligently served fresh fruits and delicious snacks, and greeted warmly, "You two can try our snacks, which are free of charge. If you like them, say hello and I will send them to you."

"Okay." Xie Chunchao accepted with a smile and thought to himself, it seems that business here is booming for a reason.

After Yu Ning carefully tried it with a silver needle, Xie Chunchaofang took a piece of hibiscus cake engraved with auspicious patterns. It melted in your mouth, was soft and fragrant, and this craftsmanship was even better than that of the master at home.

Xie Chunchao now understood why his mother and concubine often came here before leaving the palace. He didn't know whether the hot spring was good or not, but at least the snacks were really good.

Xie Chunchao swallowed the cake in his mouth and said, "Jingrong, you should try it too, it tastes very good."

Lin Jingrong's eyes fell on the corner of Xie Chunchao's mouth. There were some pastry crumbs on the bright red lips, and his dark eyes gradually became deep...

Xie Chunchao saw Lin Jingrong silent for a long time. She raised her eyes and met Lin Jingrong's deep gaze. She couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. The atmosphere seemed a little different from usual. She pursed her lower lip unnaturally and asked, "Why?" Yet?"

Lin Jingrong shook his head, then pointed to his lower lip.

Xie Chunchao suddenly realized that something was stained on her lips. She lowered her head and wiped the remaining pastry crumbs on her lips with a handkerchief, and then said, "This pastry is really delicious, don't you try it?"

Lin Jingrong actually didn't like sweets, but when he saw Xie Chunchao's enthusiastic recommendation, he still raised his hand and took a piece of hibiscus cake.

Mingqiu's eyes widened as he stood behind Lin Jingrong. What did he see?
His young master actually ate sweet cake?

I don’t know if it’s because I’m addicted to the character and can’t extricate myself, or…

Mingqiu glanced at Xie Chunchao opposite the young master.Xie Chunchao had just finished eating two pieces of cake, but when she looked up in the direction of the counter, she saw one of the people she least wanted to see.

Sometimes she wondered if Xiyao was secretly spying on her?
Otherwise, how could she meet her every time she rarely goes out?

When Xie Chunchao saw that there were not many people around her, he knew that she also went out hiding her identity.

She simply lowered her head, out of sight and out of mind.

Seeing her suddenly lowering her head, Lin Jingrong was very confused and wanted to look back, but Xie Chunchao reached out and held her down, "Don't look."

Lin Jingrong's turning head stayed in place. When he slowly turned his head to meet her gaze, Xie Chunchao was shocked to realize what he had done.

Her hand actually covered Lin Jingrong's face!
Not to mention, his face not only looks delicate, but also feels smooth and tender to the touch, and a little soft, like a piece of nephrite or a piece of fine silk.

Her face turned red, she quickly took her hand back and said stumblingly,

"Xiyao is over there."

Lin Jingrong put away the surprise on his face, and then whispered, "That's it."

If you look closely, you can see a faint blush on Lin Jingrong's face, which is as white as cold jade. Xie Chunchao is even more embarrassed and doesn't know where to put his hands.

The warmth from Lin Jingrong's face seemed to still be on his palms.

Warm, soft, and with a subtle fragrance.

"What? No more private bathrooms?"

"Yes, if this young lady wants to have sex now, she can only go..."

"Who do you think our young lady is? How can you hang out with those untouchables?"

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper's expression was a bit embarrassed, but with his business perspective, he could tell that the person was either rich or noble, and he was far from someone he could afford to offend.

Xie Chunchao sighed while eating pastries. It was different to be a princess. The maids around her were talkative and untouchables. If you know her previous identity, she was even worse than the untouchables the maids called her.

"I don't care about you. You can find a room for my lady immediately, or your store will be closed immediately. Believe it or not!"

"This..." The store owner looked at Xie Chunchao with troubled eyes after hearing this.

Xiyao noticed the store owner's eyes and looked back at the two people sitting in the corner.

Xiyao was very familiar with Xie Chunchao, so he recognized her immediately at a glance.

She didn't care about quarreling with the store anymore, but walked forward with a smile and said,
"It turns out my sister is here too, what a coincidence."

Xie Chunchao felt extremely uncomfortable. In the past, she could justly say that the two were not relatives, so her sister could not do this.

But now, in terms of blood relationship, Xiyao is her serious cousin.

Gee, it feels like a toad lying on the instep is disgusting.

"That's right." Xie Chunchao said, "It happened so much that I felt like you were following me."
