across mountains and seas

After Jing Tan sent Nie Su back to Kedao, he suppressed the smile on his face, and walked towards the small courtyard where Liu Xi lived with a solemn expression.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, he saw Aunt Hong sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. Jing Tan hesitated for a moment, but still walked into the small courtyard, and bowed respectfully to Aunt Hong, "Mother."

Aunt Hong frowned, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that his expression was not right, Liu Xi smoothed things over and said, "Aunt Hong, Second Uncle must have found something, and he came here especially to find you."

Shen Jiangli ate happily with the tea, tilted his head to look at Jing Tan and Aunt Hong, always feeling that the atmosphere was not right.

Aunt Hong asked doubtfully, "You really came to see me?"

Liuxi was given the steps to go down, Jing Tan is not stupid, how could he not go down?

"Yes, mother."

Aunt Hong let out a sigh of relief, "What's the matter?"

Jing Tan said seriously: "Sister-in-law asked me to pay attention to the brothers and sisters of the Nie family. The two of them have behaved fairly in the past few days, but tonight..." Jing Tan thought to himself that he was right, "Miss Nie seems to be very interested in Xiao Wu."

Liu Xi was still caressing Yueyue on her knees, but after hearing this sentence, her movements froze, and she said in a cold voice: "You have a good eye, and you just took aim at Alan."

Jing Tan nodded, "On the way, she also asked me a lot about Xiao Wu's preferences, so I made up some random ones and told her."

Liu Xi was quite curious, and asked coolly: "How did Second Uncle see that she was interested in Ah Lan?"

"Just now she followed her elder brother to the main hall to announce the decree. When she entered the door, she deliberately staggered and fell in front of Xiao Wu..." Jing Tan recalled the scene she saw.

"A Lan hugged her?" Liu Xi asked unhurriedly, a hint of sullenness quietly rose in his eyes.

Shen Jiangli suddenly couldn't eat his tea anymore, he pricked up his ears to listen, as if he had heard a great event.

Aunt Hong scolded in a low voice: "So shameless, even if Xiao Wu likes it, I won't allow her to come in!"

Liu Xi laughed dumbly, with her words, it was a reassurance.

Jing Tan shook his head, "No, no, it was me...I hugged her." After speaking, he looked at Liu Xi quietly as if he had done something wrong, for fear that she would take it to heart.

Aunt Hong glared at Jing Tan, "Be careful too, Hu Meizi is much more powerful than ordinary girls."

"Mother, don't worry, I don't like this kind of girl!" Jing Tan said firmly, then looked at Liu Xi, "Sister-in-law, what should I do next?"

"Let her alone, let's see what waves she can make?" Liu Xi said lightly, with a trace of murderous intent hidden in his tone, "Second Uncle worked hard tonight, let's go down and rest."

"Okay." Jing Tan nodded with a smile, and exited the courtyard.

Aunt Hong watched Jing Tan walk away, and asked in a deep voice, "Really let her go?"

"Alan is not only the head of the family now, but also the governor of Dongfu Prefecture appointed by the imperial court. Naturally, it is easy to attract girls." Liu Xi said lightly, and this kind of thing will only increase in the future. If every girl cares about it, I am afraid To acid to death hundreds of times.Now that the Dongjing family has not established a firm foothold in Dongfuzhou, to deal with Nie Su at this time will only cause problems.Besides, there is a more important thing to do now.

Shen Jiangli blinked.

Liu Xi looked at Aunt Hong seriously, "Aunt Hong, what I told you earlier is that there should be no delay."

"But..." Aunt Hong looked down at Liu Xi's ankle with a bamboo clamp worriedly, "Your feet are hurt, why don't Aunt Hong go with Miss Shen."

"No." Liu Xi shook his head, "Firstly, I know the way, and secondly, I know which wall is behind which grain is stored." Liuxi estimated the footsteps needed to go back and forth, "Aunt Hong, give me a day , whether the rice is still there or not, I will definitely come back."

"Then take a few more people." Aunt Hong couldn't help her, she just felt distressed, "Be careful on the road, don't get hurt again."

"Okay." Liu Xi smiled, and said in a warm voice: "Lan, please help me cover up a little bit, and don't let her know." After a short pause, Liu Xi looked at the sky, "There is one more thing , I need to trouble Aunt Hong for help."

"Tell me." Aunt Hong took her hand and held it.

Liu Xi smiled, "When I come back, let Ah Lan set off to take over the military affairs of East Fuzhou from Consort Cao."

"It's not difficult." Aunt Hong readily agreed.

Liu Xi's eyes darkened, and she sighed: "I only hope that the batch of rice is still there, otherwise, this battle will be really difficult."

The more Aunt Hong looked at Liu Xi, the more she liked Liu Xi, and she tightened her hand, "Xi'er, if you want, Aunt Hong can accept you..."

"Aunt Hong." Liu Xi hastily interrupted her, realizing what Aunt Hong wanted to do, she finally got rid of her identity as a sister-in-law, if she really agreed to Aunt Hong and became her adopted daughter, wouldn't she and Jing Lan reunite again? Added a layer of human relations gap?

Aunt Hong asked puzzledly, "You don't want to?"

"You guys have treated me well enough." Liu Xi said sincerely, "I'm afraid that if you treat me too well, I can't bear to part with you, so I don't want to marry."

Aunt Hong's heart warmed when she heard that, and she touched the back of Liu Xi's head, "What stupid things are you talking about? You are still young, so you still need to find a good man to marry. In the future, these little ones will all get married, and I will be old too. How can I rest assured that someone will take care of you?" After speaking, Aunt Hong gave up on this thought.

Liu Xi suddenly felt a little sour, and she fell into Aunt Hong's arms on one side of her body.Although she is not Liu Xi's biological mother, to Liu Xi, Aunt Hong treats her with more warmth than her biological mother, and she yearns for such warmth.

"Aunt Hong, if one day..." Liu Xi suddenly wanted to find out what Aunt Hong said.

"What?" Aunt Hong rarely saw Liu Xi hesitate like this.

Liu Xi held back her words, what if Ah Lan didn't want to in the end?She shook her head and smiled, "Aunt Hong, let's talk about it when I come back." After speaking, she sat up straight and nodded to Shen Jiangli, "Sister, we should go."

Shen Jiangli nodded heavily, and patted Aunt Hong's chest, "I am here." She will take good care of Liu Xi.

Aunt Hong smiled, "You girl should be careful in everything, don't get hurt, otherwise Aunt Hong will feel distressed just the same."

Shen Jiangli was both surprised and delighted, and pointed to himself, "Care, heart."

Aunt Hong smiled warmly, "I care about every girl."

"Happy!" Shen Jiangli opened his arms, subconsciously wanting to hug Aunt Hong, but in the end he forcibly held back, and could only smile at Aunt Hong, pursing his lips.

Aunt Hong suppressed a smile, "Silly girl, you guys should come back earlier."

"Okay." Liu Xi nodded, supported by Shen Jiangli, and limped towards the ferry.

In fact, Jing Tan didn't go far outside the small courtyard. When Liu Xi and Shen Jiangli walked out, he hid carefully behind the rockery, and waited for the two of them to go a little further before he dared to come out, and quietly escorted them all the way to Wanghaidu.

Liu Xi's ears are very keen, and she heard footsteps behind her a long time ago. She and Shen Jiangli stood still at Wanghaidu, turned around and called out to Butian Shixia: "Second Uncle, don't send me off anymore."

Now that he was discovered, Jing Tan had no choice but to come out, "Sister-in-law, I want to go with you."

"Keep an eye on the brothers and sisters of the Nie family, that's helping me a lot." Liu Xi refused him.

Jing Tan wanted to say something else, "But..."

"Let her go." Suddenly, Jing Lan's voice sounded behind him.

Jing Tan was shocked, and Liu Xi and Shen Jiangli were also shocked.

Unexpectedly, this time, the girl found out so quickly.

Jing Lan walked over without a smile on her face.

Liu Xi was full of apprehension, was the girl just saying something angry, or was she really willing to let her go?

"Liu Xi, I warn you..."

"Xiao Wu, why are you so mean to your sister-in-law?"

Jing Tan held Jing Lan back, afraid that this kid might say something hurtful.

Jing Lan broke away from his hand and looked at Liu Xi quietly, "Sister Shen can't see you, and Aunt Hong can't see you either. I know you will give me a bunch of reasons why you have to go tonight. Even if I capture you back and lock you up, you will still find a way to sneak to Xiangsheng Temple to have a look again."

"You..." Liu Xi suddenly didn't know what to answer her.

Jing Lan continued: "I'll listen to you. I'll wait for you to come back before going to Donglin. You have to keep your word and come back safely." As she spoke, she turned her back and stopped looking at her, "If you break your promise , I won’t listen to what you say in the future, just remember it for me!”

It turned out that A Lan had been outside the small courtyard.

"Okay!" Liu Xi chuckled, she didn't have to go to the Temple of Past Rebirth without telling her, a stone in her heart was relieved.

Jing Lan said hoarsely: "Just one day and one night, go early and return early, otherwise, I will strangle your Yueyue to death!"

"How dare you!" Liu Xi raised her eyebrows.

Jing Lan glared at her fiercely, "Do you think I dare?"

Seeing that the two people seemed to be getting more and more annoyed as they talked, Jing Tan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will help you take care of Yueyue." As he spoke, he gave Jing Lan several winks, "Xiao Wu, don't worry about it." Say something!"

"Second Uncle, look after A Lan, don't let Hu Meizi get you away!" Liu Xi believed that Jing Lan would not attack Yue Yue, but she said it deliberately to scare her.

Jing Lan said displeasedly, "Am I that kind of lustful person?"

"Xiao Wu!" Jing Tan hurriedly pulled Jing Lan back, "Stop talking!"

Liu Xi felt relieved now, she smiled triumphantly, "When I come back, I want to take a good look, does A Lan look good in the uniform of the governor?"

Jing Lan turned her face away, "Who wants to show you the clothes?"

"Huh?" Liu Xi snorted coldly.

At this time, Uncle Qin led the horses onto the ship, and twenty Haicheng guards also boarded the ship, everything was ready.He waved to the people below, "Young Madam, you can go on your way."

"Wait for me to come back!" Liu Xi smiled, took Shen Jiangli by the arm, and limped onto the ship.

The sea ship sailed away, and finally disappeared into the depths of the sea of ​​stars.

Jing Lan sighed heavily, and murmured, "It's just annoying!"

"You are also worry-free." Jing Tan said sternly, "Don't always be mean to your sister-in-law, she has done so much for us, why don't you see it at all?"

"Who says I can't see?" Jing Lan asked coldly.

Jing Tan reminded, "Then why do you always bicker with her?"

"..." Jing Lan could not speak, there were some things on her mind that she couldn't tell the second brother, "Second brother, let's go back."

"Okay." Jing Tan had no choice but to hope that Xiao Wu would grow up soon and be less childish.
