Flowers are expensive

Chapter 318 Yuan Yin's Exploration 1
Yuan Yin looked at her puzzled and asked, "What kind of nightmare did you have? Is someone chasing you?"

"No! It's just..." Xixi consciously avoided Yuan Yin's gaze, lowered her head and said, "It's just an ordinary nightmare, a very ordinary kind."

"I've never had a nightmare, so I don't understand what kind of nightmare you're talking about, please explain clearly."

"It's just a very common nightmare. It's already a nightmare. You don't have to force me to think about it again?" Xi Xi said, looking at Yuan Yin pitifully.

Yuan Yin found that he couldn't see Xi Xi's innocent and pitiful eyes any more recently.Every time I saw it, the words I wanted to say and the anger I wanted to get angry all disappeared automatically.He nodded and said, "Okay, it's fine if you don't say anything, but are you still sleeping?"

Xixi thought for a while and asked, "Is there any more dinner?"

"No more." Yuan Yin suddenly had the mood to tease her

"Then I'll go and steam an egg custard myself." Xixi muttered as she wanted to get out of bed.

"Can you swallow such an unpalatable thing?"

Xixi frowned, and looked at Yuan Yin dissatisfied, and knew that he didn't like the dishes he cooked, so why did he eat so deliciously last time?While putting on her shoes, she said, "No matter how unpalatable the food I make, I can swallow it. Besides, it didn't go into your stomach if it went into my stomach. What are you worried about?"

"There are no eggs here."

"No eggs? Where is this?"

"The wilderness." The more Yuan Yin teased her, the more amusing she felt.

"Forget it," Xixi said, touching his empty stomach, "Just find something to eat to fill your stomach. Is there always rice? Don't tell me, there's no rice here."

"No rice." Yuan Yin said, looking at her calmly.

"No rice?" Xixi turned around and asked, "Then what did you eat at night? Wild game?"

"No one said to keep it for you. It's because you overslept yourself, so no one else is to blame."

Xixi bit her lower lip, pouted her aggrieved little mouth and said, "Nothing is left for me, there must be a sip of water! I can be full even with water!"

"Come back!" Yuan Yin held back a smile, stopped her and said, "Liang Xixi, are you really that stupid? Do you believe anything I say?"

Xixi bit her lower lip, tilted her head, and stared at Yuan Yin with slightly angry eyes. Is this guy playing tricks on me?Is he free?Why don't you go back and sleep with your concubine in your arms, and come here to play around?Is there any reason!
Completed by her expression, Yuan Yin stood up and called the guards.After a while, four dishes and one pastry were placed on the table in the room.Xixi couldn't believe it, she pointed to the table and asked, "Is it mine?"

"You can also take it outside to feed the wolves."

"That's such a waste!" Xixi was indeed hungry, and regardless of the expression on the cold loofah, she picked up the chopsticks and started eating.She found a plate of beautiful cakes on the table, half red and half black, and she asked, "What is this?"

"Ah Jinyu makes acacia cakes."

"The name really sounds good!" Xixi picked it up, put it in her mouth, took a bite and was about to swallow, when she suddenly spit it out again.

Yuan Yin looked at her in surprise and asked, "What's the matter? Isn't it delicious?"

Xixi hurriedly took a sip of water, waved her hand and said, "I feel so tired! After the first bite, I don't want to take the second."

"Have you ever eaten this before?"

"No," Xixi shook her head and said, "But I don't know why, it seems like I'm tired of eating too much, and I don't want to eat anymore."

A trace of doubt flashed in Yuanyin's eyes, but Xixi didn't notice it.After dinner, she drank the pearl tea soup Zhao Xun sent, and chatted with Meng Furu.When Meng Furu fell asleep, she still wanted to go for a walk in the yard before she fell asleep.

As soon as she walked into the yard, she looked up and saw three masters and servants of Yuan Yin and Jingtai Ajinyu sitting under the tree talking and laughing.Yuan Yin fiddled with the things in his hands without answering a word.Jingtai poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and he took two sips.The mirror table picked up a plate containing snacks and handed it to Yuan Yin, as if asking him if he would eat, he shook his head, and continued to carve the things in his hand with Yan Amber's precious dagger, which looked like a Branch wooden hairpin.

A sense of loss suddenly surged in Xixi's heart for no reason, she turned and left the yard, and returned to the room.Without any sleepiness, she began to count sheep on the bed, and after counting, she fell asleep.When it was quiet in the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up, lying on the edge of the bed, vomiting something.Meng Furu was sleeping next to her. After waking up, she hurriedly asked, "Xixi, what's wrong with you? Do you want to vomit?"

Xixi lay down beside the bed and gasped, saying, "It's nothing...it's just a nightmare..."

Meng Furu patted her on the back and asked, "What happened to you? What nightmare did you have again?"

Xixi sat up, rubbed her stuffy heart and said: "I don't know... I just dreamed that I vomited a lot of blood, as if I vomited all the blood in my body. Just now in the dream It was so real, it scared me to death..."

"It's nothing, it's just a nightmare," Meng Furu comforted, "It's probably because you have encountered too many things recently, so you have nightmares again and again, it's nothing. Master Zhao Xun still has pearl powder, do you want to buy it?" I go get some?"

"No, it's too late, go to sleep."

In the second half of the night, Xixi didn't sleep very well, and just fell asleep when she was woken up and ready to go.This morning, she fell asleep in the carriage again.When it was almost noon, the horse team entered the nearest county to Jingyou City, Lanyu County.

When the horse team arrived at the gate of the city, the county magistrate had already been waiting there.Xixi lifted the curtain of the car, and saw a young magistrate saluting Yuan Yin and Jingtai.Jingtai smiled slightly, raised his hand and said: "There is no need to be formal, please get up!"

"What are you looking at?" Meng Furu suddenly raised her head.

"It's nothing." Xixi put down the curtain and sat back.

Meng Furu took a look at Xixi, and asked with a smile: "You don't really think that Zhao Yuanyin has a crush on you, do you?"

Xixi was taken aback, shook her head and said, "Boss shopkeeper, where did you say you went?"

Meng Furu stretched out her hand and opened the curtain to look at Yuan Yin and the mirror outside, then turned her head and said to Xi Xi: "You'd better take it seriously, don't think that Zhao Yuanyin really fell in love with you just because he got close to you a few times. You can't afford to climb high, and it's best not to climb high. Have you seen the princess of Dali? Although she is a princess, she is pleasing to him. Treat people with a generous and decent smile, can you do it?"

"Shopkeeper, the more you talk, the further you go!" Xixi pouted a little annoyed.

"I'm just putting my ugly words up front. If Zhao Yuanyin really wants to accept you..."

"Forget it," Xi Xi waved his hand, "As you said, I can't afford to be high, not to mention that he is both a concubine and a concubine. I really have no luck."

"What if he forcibly accepts you as a concubine?" This is what Meng Furu is most worried about.Along the way, Yuan Yin's attitude towards Xi Xi was hot and cold, which confused Meng Furu.But there is one thing Meng Furu knows very well, Xi Xi's temper is stubborn, if Yuan Yin really wants to accept her as a concubine, I'm afraid this girl will have a lot of troubles again.

Sure enough, as soon as Meng Furu finished speaking, Xixi shook her head repeatedly and said, "That's impossible! In the worst case, I'll run away! I can't believe his arms can be stretched so long!"

"Do you not like Zhao Yuanyin or do you not like that Zhao Yuanyin already has a wife?"

Xixi was stunned again, then turned her head and said, "I don't even like it!"

"really?"

"The shopkeeper," Xixi stared at Mengfu and asked with a smile, "Why do you like mentioning Zhao Yuanyin so much? Could it be that you fell in love with it?"

"Oh! I don't have that kind of leisure!"

The carriage moved again, and when it stopped again, it had already reached the gate of the yamen.Xixi, Meng Furu, and Qiao Yuan were placed in the backyard of the yamen.After lunch, Xixi went back to her room to catch up on her sleep. When she woke up, Meng Furu had gone somewhere.She got up and walked out of the courtyard, but two guards at the gate of the courtyard stopped her, saying that she could not leave this gate without her master's order.

Xixi had no choice but to turn back and walk up and down the yard boredly.Until it got dark, Meng Furu did not come back.She couldn't help feeling a little worried, and went to the gate of the courtyard and asked, "Do you know where my shopkeeper is?"

One of the guards was familiar with Xixi, and replied: "I was called away by the prince, I don't know what happened. Miss Xixi, you should go back."

"Then when will she come back?"

"This is even more unclear."

Xixi nodded in disappointment, looking at the blackened sky outside, thinking, the shopkeeper must have offended that cold loofah, and was dragged to it with a knife, right?Thinking of this gave her goosebumps all over her body.

"Hey, brother guard," Xixi said, pointing to the pond at the gate of the courtyard, "Can I go and sit on the veranda for a while? Just sit for a while and watch the fish come back. They are all under your nose anyway, I want to run No, is it?"

"Okay, Miss Xixi, it's settled, I can only watch the fish, and I can't go far."

After Xixi thanked the guard, she ran to the veranda beside the pond and lay down to look at the clusters of red koi inside.Lying on her stomach, she fell asleep again.Seeing that she was asleep, the guard was about to go up to wake her up when Yuan Yin and Zhao Xun came from the other side of the veranda.

As soon as Yuan Yin raised his hand, the guard retreated.Zhao Xun glanced at Xixi who was sleeping soundly and said with a soft smile: "Miss Liang may not have traveled a long way, and it's such a hot day, she really can fall asleep anywhere!"

Yuan Yin glanced at her with a half-smile, and when she stepped forward to wake her up, she suddenly shook, woke up from the dream, and blurted out two words: "Yuan Yin!"

Yuan Yin and Zhao Xun were stunned when they heard these two words.Xixi's pupils were still a little dizzy, as if she was still immersed in a nightmare and couldn't come out, staring blankly at the veranda in front of her in a daze.After several seconds, she slowly came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Yuan Yin and Zhao Xun standing beside her, and asked, "I... what's wrong with me?"

Yuan Yin frowned, looked down at her and asked, "Don't you know what you shouted just now?"

She shook her head blankly and said, "Did I shout something? I don't remember!"

"Don't remember? Then what were you doing just now? Another nightmare?"

As soon as this was mentioned, she subconsciously avoided Yuan Yin's gaze, and nodded slightly.Zhao Xun stepped forward and said, "Miss Liang, let me feel your pulse! Are you having nightmares again?"

"Yes..." Xixi stretched out her hand.

After checking the pulse for a while, Zhao Xun got up and said to Yuan Yin: "It seems to be frightened. The pulse is thin and chaotic. Use pearls to suppress the shock and it will be fine. Master, I'm going to get the pearls."

Zhao Xun knowingly withdrew and left, leaving only Yuan Yin and Xi Xi in the veranda.Yuan Yin sat in front of Xixi, stared into her eyes and asked, "Don't you know what you shouted when you woke up just now?"

"How can I remember what I shouted when I was dreaming?" Xixi thumped her stuffy heart and said.

"Then what kind of nightmare did you have? Is it a very ordinary nightmare?"

"nothing……"

"Liang Xixi!" Yuan Yin said angrily, "You don't have a word of the truth? Why do you always say this kind of thing that sounds like a lie every time?"
