Chapter 45

What the mother-in-law said was indeed true, the rashes all disappeared by themselves the next morning!But this incident caused Xuanyuan Mutian a lot of psychological shadow.Since then, he has never eaten seafood from the south.Fish, prawns, crabs, etc. all become his rejected customers.

Xuanyuan Mutian didn't want to do this either, but when he saw those things, he couldn't help but think of the unbearable itching all over his body after allergies, what appetite would he have to eat again!When Zhang Qiang knew about it, he immediately ordered the chef to make the taste of the Ming Dynasty, and no longer use seafood ingredients from the South China, what a joke!How could the general suffer the slightest grievance in his own home!
Two days later, Xuanyuan Mutian sent someone to notify Ouyang Jing that they would leave tomorrow!

Before leaving, Yan Jing wanted to visit Yue'er's parents. She once heard from Yue'er that she was the second child in the family, and she was sold to the palace to be a maid because she was poor!Now that Yue'er followed her to Ming country, she might have little chance to go home again.She wanted to send some money to her parents for the little girl, as compensation for them, it would also make their life easier!
Yue'er's family lived in a small fishing village outside the capital, and Yan Jing didn't know the exact location, so the two had to inquire while walking.Under the leadership of a kind aunt, I finally found her house before noon. It was a very small and dilapidated house, and yes, if it wasn't for being poor and helpless, no one would sell their daughter into the palace!
After knocking on the door, a middle-aged woman with dry hair, sallow complexion, short and thin figure came to the door. Seeing that it was Mrs. Zhang from the neighbor, she immediately smiled, nodded and bowed.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, our family really has no money right now, can you give us a few more days, and when the child's father has saved enough money from selling fish in these two days, can we do it right away?"

It turned out that Aunt Zhang lent their family more than a dozen Wen two days ago, but now she came to the door and thought she was asking for money!
"Hey, folks from the village, don't be so polite, I'm not here to collect debts today!"

"Then you are?" Zhang Zhang's sister-in-law is so easy to talk about today, she used to come to remind her every day after borrowing money!

"These two are distinguished guests of your family! Hurry up and let them in!"

Only then did Yue Erniang realize that there were still two people standing outside the door.Can't help wondering, she doesn't know them!Just by looking at the clothes they wear, you can tell that they are rich and powerful people, how could they be their guests!Could it be a mistake?

"Auntie, is Yue'er your daughter? She was sent to the palace to be a maid."

"Yes! My second daughter is going to be 15 this year! Who are you?"

"Yue'er is following us. She is now in the Ming Kingdom. Don't worry, she is doing well! We are here today to visit you on her behalf." Yan Jing explained the reason for her visit very kindly!
When Yue Erniang heard that it was Yue Er's owner, she hurriedly opened the wooden door and invited the two of them into the house.Aunt Zhang always likes to join in the fun, and she is always indispensable for big and small things in the village, so she hurriedly followed in, wanting to see the next development trend, or get together with a few other aunt-level people to gossip when bored Fan.

Entering the house, it can really be described as a house with bare walls. The only furniture is a small wooden table and two worn-out benches. When you sit on them, they creak and creak non-stop, as if they are threatening to fall apart!Neither of them dared to use too much force, and only put half of their weight on the seat, while the other half was supported by themselves. The result was that after sitting for less than 3 minutes, both of them stood up tacitly!This sitting posture is too tiring, it is better not to sit.

At this moment, a group of children ran into the yard playing and shouting, having a lot of fun.It turned out that their father had returned from selling fish in the city!
There are six children in Yue'er's family. Yue'er is the second child. Her elder sister has been a child bride-in-law. There are two younger brothers and a younger sister. They are all about the same age, about seven or eight years old.There is only one laborer in the family, and he usually fishes and farms, so he can barely make ends meet. He has a headache and brain fever, and he doesn’t need to take medicine. , I had to borrow money to see a doctor, and now I am worried about paying back the money!
"Master, you are back! There are guests at home, go and say hello!"

"What kind of guests can we have in our family, and we can't hide them!" Indeed, because their family is poor, many relatives have stopped seeing each other, and they are afraid that they will borrow money someday!

"It's Erya's master!"

Yue'er's parents are both honest farmers, and they don't know how to entertain two such extravagant characters!

Yue'er's father put the leftover fish in the corner of the room, rubbed his hands on his clothes, and straightened his whole body before coming over with a silly smile and asking, "Did something happen to that girl Yue'er?"

"It's okay, Yue'er is fine, because we just came to Nanguo, so we stopped by to see the second elder for her!"

"Oh, as long as it's okay, that girl Yue'er has been stubborn since she was a child, but her heart is not bad. Please bear with me if she did anything wrong."

Parents always think about their children.If it's not a last resort, which parent doesn't want their children to be around, and don't want them to grow up carefree? !
Turning his head, Father Yue said to the woman beside him,
"My son, what are you doing here, hurry up and cook!" Yue Erniang hesitated for a few seconds after hearing this, feeling a little embarrassed.There is nothing at home, what are you doing for the guests, you can't eat vegetable porridge like them!
"Go quickly, isn't there still fish?!" Although he said this in a low voice, Yan Jing and Xuanyuan Mutian still heard it.Busy to stop, "Don't be too busy, we are leaving, and we have to hurry tomorrow!"

"You two are laughing at me. Our family is poor and we don't have anything good to entertain the two nobles. They only have these few fish. Please don't dislike them!"

"No, it's just that we really have to go back!" When Xuanyuan Mutian heard the fish, he froze for a moment, why is it always fish?He especially hated hearing this word these two days.

I will never come to South China at this time next time. Not only is it hot but it will be very unlucky. It is better to come in spring!
"This is our wish, please accept it!"

It's some sweets and treats, and some new clothes.For these poor people, these practical things are the best gifts.

"We don't know the body size of the two of you. If it doesn't fit you, you can take it to the 'Qianji Clothing Store' in the Imperial City. They will change it for you for free. Let's share these snacks with the children. They came in a hurry. , and did not prepare their gifts!"

Yan Jing handed those things to Yue Erniang's hands!The words are sincere, without any contempt or contempt, they rely on their own labor to eat, and they are much cleaner and nobler than many people.

"Thank you!" Yue Erniang cried, she is lucky to have such a good master!That way they can feel at ease.

A group of children seemed to be a little shy of strangers, and they had been hiding in the corner and peeping curiously since they saw Yan Jing and the others.

Yue'er's father also faintly burst into tears, such a noble person actually thinks highly of their family, there are too few such people now!Moreover, if Yue'er can find such a master, he can feel better in his heart. The guilt for Yue'er these years has made him almost breathless. After all, if it is not for his own incompetence, Yue'er doesn't have to suffer as a maid !

After the two came out of Yue'er's house, Yan Jing suddenly felt in a particularly good mood. It turned out that she would get so much happiness by helping others!
"why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing at you. If they know that you don't like fish at all, what will they think?"

It could be seen that even they themselves were reluctant to eat that fish, and originally wanted to entertain distinguished guests, but they didn't know that Xuanyuan Mutian actually hated fish these two days!It's almost to the point where the color of the fish changes!

"Isn't it better if I don't eat them? They are not rich in the first place. Didn't you hear the woman say that selling fish to pay off debts? What if I really eat them!"

"Hey, I did a great deed just now!" With a smug expression and a show-off tone!
"What's worth your joy?"

"I secretly gave Yue Erniang a bank note, I didn't dare to give it more, it's the smallest denomination, ten taels!"

I gave it when the gift was delivered to her, because there was Aunt Zhang present at the time, so she didn't dare to give it, fearing that too much money would cause trouble!Twelve years is enough for a small family like theirs.

"You gave it too? Where did you get the money?"

Xuanyuan Mutian exclaimed, he also gave ten taels!But it was secretly given to Yue'er's father!And Jing'er never goes out with money.

"I have gained experience since I met that old beggar yesterday. Today I was thinking of giving some money to Yue'er's family, so I secretly took it from your pocket without you noticing it!"

When did this happen?He really didn't notice it at all!

"I stole it while I was holding your waist!" Yan Jing had a smug expression on her face. The excitement after successfully stealing something is easy to fascinate. After this success, she is already thinking about continuing next time.

This little girl took the initiative to throw herself into his arms on the street, he thought she had finally opened up, but it turned out that she had another purpose!
"You!" Xuanyuan Mutian smiled dotingly, and tapped her small and lovely nose.He would condone any behavior towards her, let alone such a trivial matter!

"After we leave the southern country tomorrow, how about going home and playing?"

With Xuanyuan Mutian's proposal, he wanted to use this to make the two of them get closer and their relationship stronger!

"Okay, I like places with beautiful mountains and clear waters!" If you are with this man, you don't have to worry about safety when you play, and you can go anywhere you want with boldness and peace of mind.

"I don't know where the fun is. How about this? Let's ask people as we walk, and we will go to see any interesting places. This is interesting and exciting, how about it?"

"Well, agree, let's go tomorrow!"

The thought of playing makes Yan Jing happy. After ten years in the Southern Palace, her repressed playful nature is now spoiled by this man again!Starting tomorrow, she can go on a tour with confidence and boldness, but at this moment, she did not expect that their journey would end soon after only a few days!And she couldn't find any stronger excuse to continue, so she had to go home obediently!
After receiving the news that Xuanyuan Mutian and Yan Jing were leaving, Ouyang Jing's mood was much calmer than he imagined.Because there was already a troublesome person who distracted most of his attention, that annoying woman Jiang Ruofu and the baby in her belly.

What a headache!

Therefore, he didn't even go out of the palace to see him off, and only sent Xiao Xiangzi, the head of the house, to bring a message to Yan Jing, but just one sentence can kill Xuanyuan Mutian half to death, as Ouyang Jing said,

"Jing'er, Nanguo Imperial Palace will always be your home. You can come back whenever you want. If Xuanyuan Mutian bullies you one day, don't hold back and just leave. Brother Jing will always reserve a place for you. !"

However, if you are angry, Xuanyuan Mutian is still more rational. He is going to leave this wretched place anyway, and he is too lazy to care about him so much. He must firmly grasp Jing'er's heart, pet her, love her, until this woman is gone again. Even if he can't do without him, he will treat her as always!For the rest of his life, that little boy would never even think about taking advantage of the opportunity.

Because Xuanyuan Mutian is afraid of the heat, he refuses to play in the southern territory, so the first stop of their tour is: Pingcheng
Pingcheng, located at the junction of the Ming Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom, has a special terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The name 'Pingcheng' means a place of peace, but this is not the case. Due to its special geographical location, the city is destined not to be peaceful and peaceful.It has been a battleground for military strategists for hundreds of years, and it was not until the end of the war in recent years that the people could really live and work in peace and contentment.

Walking on the streets here, a kind of ordinary happiness fills the whole body and mind.

Everyone here is simple and kind, and they are easy to be satisfied. As long as they can live peacefully, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they will happily spend every day.

On the way, Xuanyuan Mutian inquired with the locals and found out that there is a famous mountain here. In fact, it is not the mountain that is famous, but the Qingquan Temple on the top of the mountain, the lover's pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and the beautiful legend.

Pingcheng has gone through a hundred years of war, but Qingquan Temple has never suffered a single bit of damage. Therefore, there is a legend that spread at some time. It is said that Qingquan Temple is a treasured place of geomantic omen, which can dispel hostility and drive away bad luck. If lovers can go there together One trip, you will get a lifetime of happiness!

So Xuanyuan Mutian and Yan Jing went, not because of superstition, but because they simply wanted to see what kind of place it was!
It's not very far from Pingcheng. It took less than an hour from the inn to arrive at the foot of the mountain. Later, I found out that this place is really beautiful and famous. Today, it's not just the two of them, there are more than a dozen who came earlier. They are couples or couples.

Although they are all strangers, but they came here on the same day and with the same purpose, which can be regarded as like-minded, so everyone nodded and smiled to express their friendship, and gradually became familiar with each other.

In front of me is the legendary clear spring, but in fact it is just a small stream with very shallow water. There is no bridge and only a few big stones to connect with the opposite bank, but for some reason, all those stones have already been submerged in the water!And from the moss on the stone, it can be inferred that it has been soaked for a long time, and I don't know why no one has dealt with it yet!
Xuanyuan Mutian squatted down and said to the woman who was excitedly taking off her shoes,

"Come up, I'll carry you over there!"

"No, I can go over by myself!" What's the point of letting him carry it, she wants to walk to the other side barefoot!
"No, the water is too cold!"

"Look, other women don't want to be carried, and neither do I. People will think I'm so delicate!" Yan Jing pouted unhappy, she didn't want to be special, and she really wanted to enjoy the coolness the brook!

Xuanyuan Mutian frowned slightly, this kind of thing must not be tolerated.Otherwise, it will be her who will be uncomfortable, and him who will be distressed, and neither of them will have a hard time!

"It's not good for women to use cold water, and they will have a stomachache!" This is learned from the mother. The mother suffered from cold when she was young, and then gradually became a problem. It often hurts all night, and no medicine is used. I can only regret it in the pain!He doesn't want Jing'er to do the same.

Yan Jing despised him for saying this, "I still think I'm making a fuss, and I think you are the same! It doesn't matter once or twice!"

"If I say no, I won't, come up!" Xuanyuan Mutian once again exerted his deterrent power as a bully!
Sure enough, seeing that he was serious, Yan Jing was reluctant in every possible way, but in the end she had to go over slowly and obediently lie on his back!

When this man is serious, you'd better follow him, otherwise you will definitely see what a real bully and hooligan are!
His back is very generous and warm. It is said that this kind of man can give women the most sense of security!However, Yan Jing didn't care to feel it while lying on it. She was looking at other women eagerly. Their little feet must be very comfortable to walk in the cold water!It's a pity that she has no luck.In fact, Yan Jing didn't know how much those women envied her at the moment!
Humans, they are always in the midst of blessings and don't know their blessings. Maybe after many years, when she matures and gets old, when she thinks about what happened today, she will find that she has always been so happy and unreasonable!

Soon to the other side of Qingquan, there happened to be a 'Lover's Pavilion', which seemed to be specially built for them, even the name was so sweet and appropriate.

Everyone went to the pavilion to sort out their shoes and socks, preparing for the next climb to the top of the mountain and Qingquan Temple!And Xuanyuan Mutian finally compromised and let his woman use this time to play with water, but the condition is that she can only use her hands!

The soles of the feet are the most fragile and sensitive part of the human body, and a little cold may affect the whole body!He can indulge her in anything, but he will never allow this kind of hurtful thing, even if she acts like a spoiled child, cheats, or even gets angry!This is the bottom line of his pampering!
When everyone else had packed up and was about to go up the mountain, Yan Jing hadn't had enough fun, so she pestered the man next to her to wait for a while before leaving, and soon got his consent.In fact, Xuanyuan Mutian didn't really want to be with that group of people, after all, he was not free!
If Yan Jing knew that he thought so, she would immediately decide to advance and retreat with the big army, because this man is so bold and unscrupulous when he is free, he dares to do any hooligan thing!

Unfortunately, she doesn't know, so next...
