across mountains and seas

After Shen Jiangli healed Liuxi again, Jing Lan settled Shen Jiangli in Haicheng.Because she was infected with all kinds of poisons, there were residual poisons in her clothes and water. Fortunately, Shen Jiangli knew the way to remove the poisons, so after Jing Lan specially explained, Mr. Hai went down to prepare the poisons powder for daily use.

After learning of Shen Jiangli's fate, everyone in Haicheng sighed.From the first night Shen Jiangli stayed in Haicheng, he felt Jing's deep warmth.This long-lost warmth lingered around him, Shen Jiangli lay his pillow on the pillow, fell asleep with a smile on his face, he had never slept so soundly for a long time.

Because Jing Lan had to explain matters to Uncle Jing Jiu, Aunt Hong personally pushed Liu Xi back to the courtyard to rest.

In the past few days after leaving Haicheng, the situation outside Dongfu Prefecture has changed suddenly.

Uncle Jing Jiu received a lot of information brought back by spies, for example: the Wei family was attacked by the imperial court and the foreign race, and Liu Su temporarily stabilized the situation with the help of Xishan Liu's firearms; The more than ten counties in the west of Fuzhou caught the imperial court by surprise, and the more than ten counties in the west of Dongfu Prefecture are now controlled by foreigners; The more than ten counties that Fuzhou fell to.

The more anxious the court was, the more impatient the son-in-law Cao Yang became.

After Jing Lan heard the news, she thought that Cao Yang would visit the door for the second time.

"Uncle Nine, everything in Haicheng is as usual. Those who should cast soldiers should mine, and those who should mine mines." Jing Lan thought for a while, and then said, "Sura Guards are not dead, no, it should be the people who buy Shura Guards. After a few days of defense in Haicheng, we still cannot relax our vigilance."

"Yes, young master." Uncle Jing Jiu took the order.

Jing Lan thought for a while, "Uncle Nine, Uncle Qin and the others went out to sea to mine, and if they could pick pearls, they would pick them up and sell them for as much money as they can sell." Troubled times are not easy, with more money in your hands, you won't be stretched to do things.

Uncle Jing Jiu bowed again, "Yes."

Jing Lan smiled, "Thank you Uncle Jiu for picking me up this time."

"This is what I should do." After a short pause, Uncle Jing Jiu reminded Jing Lan seriously, "However, next time, young master, please don't take risks alone again."

"Sister-in-law is very angry this time?" Jing Lan asked suddenly.

Uncle Jing Jiu said in a deep voice: "If it wasn't for the injured foot, I'm afraid the young master would have been captured by the young lady."

"..." Jing Lan was silent.

Uncle Jing Jiu coughed twice, thinking that he shouldn't say that about his young master, "But the young master has returned safely and brought Miss Shen to treat the young lady. I think she won't be angry with the young master for too long."

Not so.

Jing Lan recalled the moment when Aunt Hong pushed Liu Xi away today, her eyes were cold, clearly angry in her heart.

"Uncle Jiu, please help me lift the cage on the carriage." Jing Lan had been busy for half a day, and almost forgot that there was another trick.

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, "The young master is here later, I will help the young master to pick it up."

"En." Jing Lan quietly let out a sigh of relief.

This person who looked up and looked down, Jing Lan thought, with Liu Xi's disposition, she must have come to settle accounts for treating her better.Instead of waiting for her to settle the score, it is better to act first and try to calm her down.In case Liu Xi came to settle the matter, if the two of them had a disagreement, Aunt Hong would find out, and when the two women taught her a lesson together, Jing Lan couldn't take it anymore.

As soon as Liuxi was mentioned, Jing Lan's arm caught by her felt a dull pain.

Jing Lan raised her sleeves and looked at the fingerprints on it. Liu Xi was merciful. Otherwise, the pain of re-bonding would be so painful for ordinary people. How could she only leave a few fingerprints, and the flesh and blood would be crushed.

What a... stubborn woman!

Jing Lan shook her head and sighed, facing Liu Xi, she was always helpless.

At the same time, Liu Xi sat quietly on the couch, looking at the open door, thoughtful.

Today she really lost her composure and shed tears in front of Jing Tan.Everyone knows that she is the strongest, if Jing Tan sees something... Liu Xi shook her head, she just felt uneasy and dared not think about it any further.

Jing Lan is now at a time when she is building popularity, so she shouldn't be dragging Jing Lan's back at this time.

Explained to Jing Tan, it seemed deliberate, but if he didn't explain, he was afraid that he would think wildly.

Jing Tan is no better than Jing Lan. After all, he is a man who has performed the crown ceremony. Chatting with him in private will only cause trouble.Every time he thinks of this, Liu Xi feels slumped.

There are too many shackles for women in the world, this is wrong, that is also wrong, when will women have the day when they can straighten their waists and live freely?

The more Liu Xi thought about it, the more bored she became, and she couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

Suddenly hearing the tune of blowing leaves outside the window, the corners of Liu Xi's mouth were slightly pursed, and she couldn't help but follow the sound and look out of the window.

She has heard this minor tune before, A Lan once blew it to her on the mountain trail.

The maids in the room looked at each other and smiled in surprise, it had been a long time since Wu Gongzi blew leaves.Jing Lan used to have nothing to do at home, she would occasionally climb up to the corner of the eaves and fold the leaves to play a tune. Although it was not a special tune, but listening carefully, there was a hint of joy in the notes, which could always give the huge sea city a sense of joy. Add a little joy.

In the past, Jing Lan was the youngest and the best at talking.The maids said a few words, and then they would fold the leaves and play a song.

Since the eldest son died, not to mention playing music, even the smile on his face was rarely seen.After becoming the head of the family, she is even more serious. How dare the maids ask the young master to play and make music?

Liu Xi caught a glimpse of the smiles on the faces of the maids, and asked knowingly, "Who is playing the music?"

The maids laughed and said, "Young master."

Liu Xi couldn't hide her smile, "She still knows this?"

The maids nodded, "Young Madam doesn't know something. Among the young masters in Haicheng, the young master has the best melody. We haven't heard the young master blowing leaves for a long time."

"Is it so rare?" Liu Xi asked with a smile.

The maids nodded firmly, "The young master only blows leaves when he is happy."

"So... that's it." Liu Xi chuckled knowingly, recalling Jing Lan leading a horse and blowing leaves on the mountain road, it turned out that she was really happy at that time.

Between her and Jing Lan, after melting the hatred from the previous life, the word "joy" can be accommodated.

Three years, maybe it is too late.

Liu Xi was in a good mood, and her smile couldn't help but grow stronger.

After playing a minor tune, it suddenly changed to another weird tune.

The maids frowned when they heard it, and they always felt that there was an evil spirit in this tune, without the bright and relaxed tone of the minor tune just now.

Liu Xi's smile remained undiminished, and she was even more familiar with this tune.

This girl is actually controlling beasts, what does she want to do?

"Where did the rabbit come from!"

"It looks like its tail is hurt!"

The two maids suddenly found a little white rabbit jumping into the room, one maid quickly stepped forward, gently hugged the little white rabbit, and wanted to send the little white rabbit out of the room.

"Leave it." Liu Xi's eyes lighted up slightly. Since it was Jing Lan's wish, how could she let it go?

The servant girl carried the little white rabbit back.

After arriving in front of Liu Xi, the little white rabbit jumped into Liu Xi's arms, at the same time, the music outside the window also stopped suddenly.

"Go and get a basket."

Liu Xi caressed the little white rabbit's head, how could he be angry with Jing Lan at this moment?This girl seems to have opened up so much, she still has a conscience.

"Yeah!" The maids nodded and left the room.

Liu Xi carefully untied the white cloth tied to the little white rabbit's tail, where is the wound cloth?On the inconspicuous part of it was written four words "heal well".

"Alan, are you that afraid of me?" Liu Xi grinned softly. In her previous life, she would never hold a little rabbit in her arms and love her so much that she would do something that ordinary girls would do.

But in this life...

Liu Xi picked up the little white rabbit, wrinkled his nose at the little white rabbit, scraped the tip of the little rabbit's nose lightly with his fingertips, and murmured: "This is not an example."

Above the eaves, Jing Lan heard Liu Xi's murmur, she smiled in relief, and flicked the leaves between her fingers.

Should have passed this level.

Jing Lan stood up and fell from the eaves. Just as she landed, she felt a black shadow flashing by the corner of the wall.

"who?!"

Jing Lan yelled sharply, seeing that the black shadow couldn't hide anymore, it leaned out half of its body.

"Second brother?"

Jing Tan slowly walked out of the shadows, he made a "shh" gesture to Jing Lan, and pointed to the side.

Jing Lan nodded, and followed Jing Lan to an empty corner.

There is only a wall separating this place from Liuxi's small courtyard, even if you are patrolling the city, you shouldn't hide when you see her.

"Xiao Wu, don't let your mother know about what you saw about me." Jing Tan hurriedly told Jing Lan.

Jing Lan was puzzled, "Why?"

"Mother doesn't know why these few days, she doesn't want me to visit my sister-in-law, and she always wants me to go out to find a girl who is in love with each other." Jing Tan didn't intend to hide anything from Jing Lan, "If she knows that I am If you came here at night, you must scold me severely, saying that I don't know how to avoid suspicion."

Jing Lan replied seriously: "It's really inappropriate to visit my sister-in-law at this time."

Jing Tan also knew that he was wrong, "From now on, Xiao Wu, come with me, so that mother won't think about it."

Jing Lan suddenly fell silent and just looked at him quietly.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little dignified, and Jing Tan suddenly didn't know how to explain it.

"Second brother, you seem to... care about your sister-in-law very much?" Jing Lan asked him tentatively.

Jing Tan felt guilty and dared not answer directly, and pointed to the corner of the eaves where Jing Lan was sitting and blowing leaves just now, "Don't you do the same, Xiao Wu?"

"..." To be honest, being poked by Jing Tan like this, Jing Lan felt somewhat guilty.

Seeing that Jing Lan didn't refute, Jing Tan also asked tentatively: "After three years of mourning, sister-in-law, if she wants to leave..."

"Three years of filial piety?" Jing Lan asked confusedly before Jing Tan finished speaking.

"You still don't know about this?"

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Jing Lan's bewildered look, Jing Tan sighed, "Sister-in-law and mother have already asked for a wife's release letter. She said that she will leave Haicheng after three years of filial piety and repaying her kindness to elder brother."

"Shouldn't I write the letter to my wife?" Jing Lan was shocked, and her mood was instantly chaotic. Without the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law, Haicheng would not be Liu Xi's permanent home. She guards the vacant room for her eldest brother for the rest of her life.

Jing Tan shook his head and sighed, "Actually, it's a good thing for my sister-in-law, isn't it?"

Mixed feelings.

Jing Lan didn't answer Jing Tan's words, but just stared blankly at the wall in front of her.

She also thought that Liu Xi might leave, but she never thought that she would set a three-year term for herself so quickly.

okay?

For Liu Xi, being clear is a good thing, but Jing Lan vaguely discovered——

She seemed... a little bit reluctant.
