Chapter 58 Why are they not together?
As the white light gradually dissipates, a pair of white cranes cling to each other and spread their wings to fly!
They hovered in the ruined temple for a long time, emitting clear and high-spirited crane calls, and then flew out of the temple in pairs.
Xiao Baojing clearly saw that one of the paws was wearing a silver bracelet wrapped with red thread!
She quickly chased him out of the ruined temple.
The white crane spread its wings and flew through the rain curtain, flying straight to the highest waterfall in Xiangshui County.
They turned into new formation eyes, replacing the two copper fish, and reopened the flood diversion and water control formation to guard this land that was born by water.
"It's Ling Hong and Ji Shanchuan!" Xiao Baojing grabbed Shang Bingjiu's sleeve in disbelief and pointed to the waterfall in the distance, "Salesman, look quickly!"
It's dawn and the east is white.
As the formation started, a few lines of golden sky light penetrated the thick dark clouds and shone on the Xiang River.
It's sunny.
The wind is gentle and the rising floods gradually recede, revealing the original stone bridges and streets. The willows beside the water have new colors, and white jasmine flowers bloom in the corners and in the cracks of the bricks.
The people tentatively opened the windows, whispering to each other in confusion and surprise, wondering why the catastrophic heavy rain suddenly stopped.
A ray of golden merit quietly blended into Xiao Baojing's body.
Xiao Baojing smiled brightly, and his voice was crisp and sweet, like pears in July and August: "Seller, is Ling Hong alive again? Do they count as being together like this?"
Shang Bingjiu's eyes fell on her hand.
The girl's white and slender little hands tightly grasped the corners of his sleeves, and her pale pink and crystal nails covered the crane feathers on his sleeves. There was a different kind of gentle color in the early morning light.
She was sharing her joy with him.
He curled his fox eyes: "Why don't we count them together?"
Noticing his gaze, Xiao Baojing retracted his hand belatedly.
In the ancient world, it was important for men and women not to be intimate with each other.
The salesman already has a girl he likes, and maybe that girl also likes him.
It doesn't matter if she interferes.
She put her hands behind her back, feeling a little disappointed in her original joyful mood.
She returned to the ruined temple and picked up the paper umbrella with a peach blossom painted on it.
The paper umbrella kept spinning in my hand, and the pink and tender peach blossoms almost turned into a circle.
The circles are round and round, like the complicated and unspeakable thoughts of a girl.
She glanced back at Shang Bingjiu and said hesitantly: "By the way, you...the girl you like, what is her name and where does she live? Have you...have you known each other for a long time? Where is she now? ”
"She...she has been eaten by me a long time ago."
Xiao Baojing's almond-shaped eyes widened.
Eat...
Eat her?
Is that what she meant?
She bit her lip and blushed.
She thought the salesman was a boy, but she didn't expect him to eat meat early.
She glanced at Shang Bingjiu's lower abdomen with her peripheral vision, and she stammered: "You...you look only eighteen or nineteen years old now, so you were really young when you ate her. You...you can OK? ”
Is it developed?
Shang Bingjiu: "Just use your mouth."
With...with your mouth?
Xiao Baojing imagined a certain scene and suddenly blushed like blood.
Help!
Is this kind of thing allowed to be said casually? !
She said in a sullen voice: "You only need to know this kind of thing yourself, why are you talking about it outside? It's so embarrassing..."
"What are you embarrassed about?" Shang Bingjiu picked out an egg from the basket, "Eating her is like eating this egg."
Hearing this, Xiao Baojing looked at him blankly.
He swallowed the egg: "She is an orange tree, and the oranges she produces are delicious. I was very hungry at that time, and I ate everything in that place, but I was still hungry. I like her very much, so I saved her for last, although I didn’t know if it was a male or a female at the time, but she would bloom, so I guessed she was a female.”
Xiao Baojing: "..."
ah?
What is this person talking about?
After working for a long time, the girl he likes is an orange tree? !
She looked at Shang Bingjiu as if she were looking at a fool.
And she would actually fall in love with a fool!
Xiao Baojing was frustrated and explained in a crisp voice: "I'm talking about normal human girls! What I mean by love is the love between men and women, just like Ling Hong and Ji Shanchuan, not the love of food! Salesman, you Do you understand? ”
The young man in Taoist robes and crane feathers stood in front of the ruined temple and looked at Xiao Baojing quietly.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After a while, just when Xiao Baojing thought he had realized the truth expectantly, he said seriously: "I'm hungry."
Xiao Baojing: "..."
This kid has no clue when it comes to love!
He just knows how to eat!
She stuffed the Pisces bronze mirror and the paper umbrella into her persimmon satchel and walked out of the ruined temple with a pout.
Shang Bingjiu followed her with a basket of goods on his back: "You are angry."
"No."
"You're angry."
"No!"
…
Xiao Baojing planned to send the bones of Emperor Wumian back to Beijing, so Heshang Bingjiu returned to the southern suburbs, found her bones in the barren mountains and ridges, and hid them together with the coffin board in her persimmon skewer satchel.
The two came to Xiangshui County again. It was already the Dragon Boat Festival and the county town was bustling.
Crown Prince Xiao Qian happened to be returning from the Julu Mountains on a cloud boat and passed through Xiangshui County. He came here specifically to visit his grandfather. However, he was informed by local officials about what happened that year. He also knew that his grandfather Ji Wen died at the funeral of Emperor Wu Mian. in hand.
Xiao Qian sighed and went to Ji Wen's tomb to pay homage in person.
The accompanying official frowned and said: "The impact of this case is so bad that it has already spread to the palace. The empress is not the biological daughter of Emperor Wu Mian, but the daughter of a palace maid... I wonder if it will affect the reputation of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xiao Qian offered incense seriously: "A person's reputation is built up by his words and deeds, and should not be changed by his parents' status. Xiao Qian is Xiao Qian, even if his grandmother is just a palace maid, Xiao Qian is still Xiao Qian , is still Xiao Qian whose life-long ambition is to "serve the world and live for the people."
Another local official asked for instructions: "Should we catch the salesman and the spirit?"
"My grandfather cheated on me in marriage, which was unkind. He who murdered the emperor's concubine was unfaithful." Xiao Qian closed his eyes. "Although I am close to my grandfather, I also know that I can't blame others for this matter. As the emperor's heir, I can't do it even more." Abuse of power to avenge private interests.”
With the prince's attitude, the government no longer targeted Xiao Baojing and Shang Bingjiu.
Seeing the two people entering the city, the government still asked Xiao Baojing to play Mrs. Xiang to pray for the wandering god of Xiangshui County.
After participating in the Wandering God, Shang Bingjiu was a rare act of generosity. He did not take Xiao Baojing to stay in the ruined temple, but instead invited her to stay in the best inn.
The inn is built near the water. Standing by the flower window, you can overlook the entire Xiangshui River. It has bead curtains and emerald curtains on the embroidered dressing table. The floor is covered with thick velvet carpets. Gorgeous carved and lacquered step-by-step beds are hung with hanging curtains. There was still a burner of incense burning inside.
This was Xiao Baojing's first time staying in an ancient inn, and it was such a good inn!
