"Invite the two guest officials, do you know whether to eat or play?"

A chubby waiter, aged sixteen or seventeen, warmly greeted him. Shao Mingyuan smiled kindly at him, "Find us a quiet room, and it must be clean."

"Alright, upstairs please!"

Xiao Er smiled and made a gesture of invitation, leading the two to the innermost room in the corridor on the second floor.

The tables, chairs, beds, etc. inside are half old and not new, but they are still bright and clean, and the beds also have a faint smell of soap locust that has just been washed.

"How about staying here first?"

Shao Mingyuan gently squeezed the slightly cold palm, Xu Fengting nodded, then calmly raised his hand and gave the little girl a big silver ingot.

"We have to live here for several days, please get us something to eat first, I'm a little hungry after driving all day, and prepare some hot water for a bath."

The smile on Xiaoer's face became even more cheerful, "Hey, I'll be there soon! You are too polite, how can you use so much...

Xu Fengting didn't speak again, the waiter retreated out knowingly, and soon served steaming four dishes and one soup, and the bath water was also prepared graciously.

The husband and wife washed away the dust of the past few days, put on the clean clothes in the baggage, felt refreshed, and sat down at the dining table side by side, holding hands and looking at each other, as if in a trance

"At the beginning, I thought I could accompany you to live a comfortable life, but I didn't expect that it would drag you down so much that you even lost the shop where you lived and lived..."

Xu Fengting sighed apologetically, but was interrupted by a deep kiss involuntarily from the person around him.

"Since you and I have become a family, I will always share everything for you. You also need to relax your mind. Don't worry about everything in your heart. When will your body get better?"

Shao Mingyuan patted his thin shoulder distressedly, and simply embraced him so that he could lean comfortably in his arms.

Xu Fengting nestled quietly and remained motionless, but gently stroked the back of the man's hand hanging on his abdomen with his fingers.

"I don't know what happened to my father. Looking at Fu Hong's appearance, he seemed to suspect that the King of Qi saved us. Although he didn't think of my father, if he really suspected that we voted for the King of Qi, I'm afraid he would no longer trust our Xu family. gone."

Although he spoke softly, Shao Mingyuan could still hear the deep worry in his words. Thinking that he shouldn't hide it from him at this point, he also told the whole story about how he met Xu Yanting at Wang Qi's place, which further confirmed Xu Fengting's heart As for the conjecture that Wang Qi is King Qi, it's just a miracle that the eldest brother would join him. What's even more unbelievable is that Fu Lian is pregnant, and she has a big belly and has no intention of knocking down the fetus. The eldest brother knows, But he didn't report it to Fu Hong, and even helped him to conceive?

It really makes people think about it but become more and more puzzled.

Shao Mingyuan lowered his head and kissed the top of his head gently, "If you want me to say that the prince still needs the Xu family, he hasn't broken up with his father now, and I'm afraid it won't happen for a while. As for the elder brother, to be honest, I think the king of Qi is down. He is a little more reliable than the prince, at least we can see that although he talks to the elder brother lightly, he does not have any false feelings."

Xu Fengting was about to speak, but was held tighter by that person, "I mean, you are in a foreign land now, worrying for nothing is only hurting yourself, why relax for a while, let's find a way to find out when the matter calms down Home, okay?"

"I just listen to you, what do you plan to do next? There's no need to worry about asking for money, I'm afraid you won't be able to avoid Fu Hong's eyes and ears."

Xu Fengting took the bundle and inspected it carefully, besides a few sets of daily clothes, there were also two thick stacks of banknotes, a pack of gold leaves and a token of General Xu.

The last thing is for life-saving in an emergency. I didn't expect my father to give it to his married son.

Xu Fengting carefully put away the token, but Shao Mingyuan said with a smile: "I told you, don't believe me, the crown prince doesn't have time to bother us right now. Think about it, isn't everyone in the capital preaching about the illness of the saint? I'm afraid it's about to get better Is it? He is busy with big things now."

Hearing this, he found it very reasonable, and the two of them discussed what to do in the future. Shao Mingyuan thought about resting for a few days to recharge his spirits. He still had to go north and find a small, remote place to settle down. I don't earn much in the capital, but the cost of living in small towns is also low, so it's enough to support two people anyway.

There is a small town called Yunyang in the northern border. He went there with his master when he first transmigrated. It is the junction of Yue State and the neighboring country Chi State in the north. There are many common people on the border between the two countries who buy and sell goods here, and over time it forms a bustling market.

Because the two countries have been friendly for many years, there is no disturbance of war there. It can be said that every family lives and works in peace and contentment, and the folk customs are very simple.It was far away from the capital, and if something happened, he could find a way to go to Chi country, so Shao Mingyuan thought about taking Xu Fengting to live there.

After hearing his description, Xu Fengting liked it very much. The two of them ate and chatted, unknowingly, they had already made many beautiful plans for the future.After so many days of driving, the two of them were really tired. They fell asleep while hugging and lying down, and didn't wake up until the next day at three poles. Shao Mingyuan packed up some broken silver and went to the town to buy some. Xu Fengting obediently waited for him at the inn for the things he needed for the long trip. After almost three days of preparation, the two hired a carriage and left the city again.

Because they all have the intention of not going back after this walk, so they are not in a hurry to arrive, and it is very enjoyable to stop and play all the way, but who knows that after walking like this for about half a month, Xu Fengting's body began to feel uncomfortable .

Because they were afraid of leaking their whereabouts, they chose secluded country roads along the way, so they didn't always meet the inn. For example, there was a strong wind last night. The driver said that the strong wind in this area is very dangerous. So they found a nearby village to settle down, and the couple lived in the home of an old man named Chen.

Originally, I had been on the road for a day, and I was eating dry food at noon. In the evening, having hot soup and hot rice should make people's index fingers move, but Xu Fengting's face was white and he had no appetite. Shao Mingyuan took out the money and asked Old Man Chen to get some more Porridge and light side dishes were served hot, but he felt sick when he smelled them.

Continuously retching, his stomach turned upside down as if his intestines were going to be twisted together, but he couldn't vomit anything, so he leaned weakly in Shao Mingyuan's arms and whispered that his chest was tight.

Shao Mingyuan panicked for a moment, could it be that he didn't have a good rest these nights?After walking so far north, Xu Fengting vomited several times in his wild thoughts, and his whole face was flushed from suffocation, and the panting appearance of holding his chest made him terribly distressed.

He hurriedly said to Old Uncle Chen: "Please take care of the old man, I will go out and ask the doctor."

That old man Chen was a warm-hearted man, so he stood up quickly and said, "Young master, don't worry, we don't have a doctor in this village, and we have to walk more than [-] miles to the next town to invite him, you are not familiar with the place where you live." It's really inconvenient, I'll ask Er Gouzi next door to go for a run!"

Shao Mingyuan was about to nod his head, but was stopped by Xu Fengting, "You are a doctor yourself, why go out and hire someone?"

Shao Mingyuan smiled wryly, "What kind of doctor am I? It's okay to deliver babies in An'an. If there are any other problems, how can I see them?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Fengting poked his finger hard angrily, "You have other problems!"

Before the words finished, his face turned red again, Shao Mingyuan was still in a daze and didn't come back to his senses, that old man Chen had lived for decades and had gone through everything, so he immediately burst out laughing complacently.

"Congratulations, no wonder you can't eat. I remember the same thing happened to my family back then. Throwing up whatever you ate made me anxious!"

Xu Fengting lowered his head with a smile, his eyes couldn't help but look at his still flat belly. Shao Mingyuan just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly pulled his wrist to check his pulse, and he was indeed pregnant for more than a month.I was so happy for a while that I didn't know what to do, I just kept hugging Xu Fengting and giggling, Old Man Chen smiled and gently closed the door for them, leaving only the sweet couple, hugging and whispering talking about things.

"When did you know? Don't tell me!"

Shao Mingyuan kissed the man's cheek hard, and impatiently reached into his clothes to touch it, but when he really touched the soft and warm skin, he still couldn't help trembling slightly, and dared to touch it with his fingertips but He didn't dare to put the palm of his hand on it, as if he was afraid of crushing him accidentally.

Here, a child is being conceived, a child who is related to the two of them by blood.

He, a funny lonely soul wandering in another world, finally has a wife, a son, and a complete family!

Xu Fengting saw his pious appearance as if he was a glazed doll that would shatter at the touch of a touch, so he suppressed a smile and intentionally teased him, "I blame others for not telling me that I am careless, but you are still a teacher with a gold medal.",

Shao Mingyuan was teased so embarrassingly by him, he still just smirked, "The so-called doctor doesn't heal himself. When it comes to himself, how can he be as calm as treating others? But your pulse is a little weak, and you must be tired these days. Have a good birth, it seems that we must not go any further, settle down here first, and wait for your fetal gas to stabilize before making other calculations, okay?

Needless to say how much Xu Fengting attached importance to the unborn child, he naturally obeyed him obediently. At dawn the next day, Shao Mingyuan paid the carriage driver and discussed with old man Chen about finding a house for temporary rent in the village.

Old man Chen was originally a lonely old man. His wife left early, and his son died when he was a soldier. Now he has no one to rely on and lives alone guarding his ancestral house and two acres of Susukida. Life is very difficult.

Now I see that this pair of strangers are not only generous, but also kind. If they are willing to stay, firstly, they will benefit more, and secondly, the family will also be a little angry, so they laughed and said: "If you two want to stay in the village for a while Why bother, there are several empty rooms in my house right now, if you don’t mind, I’ll clean them up and make them available for you to live in today.”

Shao Mingyuan felt that it was quite suitable, Xu Fengting also nodded in agreement and said: "It's rare to have a good relationship with the old man, maybe it's a fate given to us by God, but it will cause trouble to the old man again, so the money will be used as this month's rent and money first." let's eat."

After speaking, he took out a bag of broken silver from his pocket and put it in Old Man Chen's hand. Old Man Chen took it in his hand and weighed it. Even if they lived here for a year, it would not be enough. After all, there is nothing delicious in the remote villages. Seeing that the two of them were resolutely unwilling to take it back, he put it into his arms gratefully, and immediately called a few young men from the neighbors to come and help clean up the house.

Because there was no place to stay at home for the time being, Shao Mingyuan accompanied Xu Fengting to the village, and when someone asked him, he followed the talk he had discussed with old man Chen before, saying that he was a distant relative of his family who was passing by here for business. Visit him to avoid trouble from repeated questioning by some old-fashioned old men in the village.

"Tired, do you want to take a break?"

Although the small village is beautiful and beautiful, all Shao Mingyuan cares about at the moment is the face of the person around him.

Xu Fengting was so annoyed by him that he couldn't help but cast a blank stare at him, "Mr. Shao, it's only been half an hour since you left the house, and you've already asked him seven or eight times!"
