Every time Mo Ran went to Qingshui Town, he found that there were more and more deserters dragging their families to the town every time, occupying the wide streets.

Only then did he realize that the drought and famine in Xuzhou City were much more serious than they had imagined.

But except for the woman and child at the beginning, no one has gone to their village yet, so they live in the empty temple house in the town.

Because of the large number of people, it was easy to cause confusion, so the county magistrate had to send people from the yamen to settle the people fleeing from famine, and additional patrols were sent to strengthen law and order, and people were sent to guard the entrance.

Perhaps it was because of the extreme hunger. Those fleeing from the famine would sometimes steal things from the townspeople, and most of them gathered together to grab food. When Mo Ran arrived in the town, he just went to the restaurant and dared not go shopping. Fortunately, Later, the county magistrate asked people to build a shed to give out porridge, and those who fled the famine could receive two meals of porridge for free every day, and the situation improved a lot.

One morning in late August, a plain and unpretentious carriage parked unsteadily in front of the Jiutian Restaurant. Restaurant.

The Jiutian Restaurant was still full of people, the shopkeeper Zhang, who was busy behind the counter, raised his head inadvertently, just in time to see his owner walking in, and rushed to meet him.

"Has anything happened in the restaurant in the past month?" Shu Jiutian asked the servant to remove the things from the carriage, and asked casually.

"Except for the fact that some short-sighted people came to the restaurant to extort money shortly after the boss left, but they were all dealt with by Ms. Mo, so there is nothing left." Shopkeeper Zhang lowered his head and told the truth.

Shu Jiutian raised his eyebrows, it was nothing serious, so he went back to the backyard to rest.

After getting up from a full nap at noon, I heard shopkeeper Zhang say that Mo Ranxin has developed a new food called cake, which is a sweet food. He hastily asked people to put the gift he picked on the carriage, and asked Laifu to follow Went to Langhe Village.

The carriage driver stopped at the door of Mo Ran's house with ease, and the courtyard door was open, so Lai Fu stood at the door and called Miss Mo a few times.

Mo Ran, who was in the room, looked downstairs and saw that it was Laifu and Shu Jiutian, so he quickly went downstairs to let people in, and then made tea for them.

Since he has money in his hands, he has also prepared a lot of high-quality tea at home. First, he can make it directly when he wants to drink milk tea, and second, he can use it to entertain guests.

Shu Jiutian waved the gift he brought back from the capital to Mo Ran, sat down to drink tea with a smile, and asked Mo Ran to open it to see if he liked it.

Mo Ran opened the delicately packaged box and saw that there were rouge powders that women love to use. He didn't need it, but it was Shu Jiutian's wish, and he didn't refuse to accept it.

"This time when I went back to Beijing, my father forced me to visit the daughter of the Hou family. She looks like a child, short and chubby. I don't like her at all! I managed to escape. back."

Shu Jiutian sat down while chattering, drank two sips of tea, and was about to speak again, when suddenly a person came in from the door with a plate in his hand, with a clear goal and went straight to Mo Ran.

It was Ajiu who came.

He just remembered that there was such a number one person in Mo Ran's family, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he subconsciously hid back.

At this time, Ajiu was like a sleeping lion in his eyes. Although some people thought he was usually stupid, he was actually pretending to be a lie.

Behind the old cruel.

Seeing his reaction, Mo Ran felt a little puzzled in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

But Ajiu didn't seem to see the fear in his eyes, and put the cake he made in front of Mo Ran as if offering a treasure:

"My lady, I've made the cake. Try it and see if it's delicious? If it's delicious, let me make all the cakes at home."

Mo Ran glanced at it, didn't eat, and waved him out.

Shu Jiutian watched in amazement, and asked curiously, "I haven't seen you for a while, what happened to you?"

He still remembered that their previous way of getting along was not like this.

"Hmm..." Mo Ran rolled his eyes and asked him without saying why, "You seemed to be afraid of Ajiu just now?"

Shu Jiutian's eyes faltered: "No."

Just a little scared.

"Really?" Mo Ran obviously didn't believe it, and said: "I think you seem to know each other, and your big brother also seems to be weird when he looks at Ajiu."

He remembered that when Shu Jiutian's elder brother went to Jiutian Restaurant, the two of them went out for a while. After returning, Shu Jiutian's expression was obviously not right, especially when facing Ajiu.

Shu Jiutian shook his head again and again, put on a calm and breezy appearance, buried his head and drank another sip of tea, his voice was vague:

"I don't know, I don't know, I have such a noble status, how could I know a fool."

The corner of Mo Ran's mouth was bent upwards, he shook the tea in the cup lightly, shrugged and looked at Shu Jiutian with a smile:

"Well, I thought you knew each other. By the way, do you know? Ajiu finally regained his memory! A few days ago, I had a fight with him, and he ran out when he got angry. I was sick, but I didn’t expect my memory to recover after I got well, and I’m not stupid anymore, don’t you think you’re lucky?”

"Recovered memory?" Shu Jiutian was surprised. Of course, he was not surprised by Ajiu's recovery of memory, but: "Then, did he tell you about it?"

"Say it." Mo Ran said casually.

"But I think he still looks stupid, just now..."

"He's flattering me! Because he made me angry! You should be able to tell that he likes me. Recently, I also...know what I want, but I haven't told him yet.

But yesterday!He actually ran to the widow's house next door to chat with the woman who had escaped from famine!They also seemed to have a good time chatting!I called him and he didn't come back!He obviously likes me, how can he talk to other women!

Then I got angry. He is pretending to be stupid now to make me soft-hearted. "Mo Qi gasped, his expression made Shu Jiutian unable to tell the truth.

"What! Did he go so far after recovering his memory!" Shu Jiutian was shocked.

Mo Ran lowered his head, his long eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes, and his voice sounded a little choked:

"Well, I didn't expect him to be such a person. That's right. With his status, I am not worthy of him. Besides, that woman is indeed more charming than me. I can't compare with him. I can only think that I have misunderstood him. People. And that white jade pendant that is very important to him..."

He wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Shu Jiutian thought he was crying, and when he heard Mo Ran say that he was not worthy of Ajiu's identity, and that he could tell the jade pendant that the other party never left, he believed his words in his heart, and was filled with righteous indignation for a moment, so angry that he slapped the table:

"Damn it, I didn't expect him to be such an imposing general! When he was in the restaurant, he even showed off to my elder brother that he had such a good lady as you. I didn't expect that we all misunderstood the person. The rumors really can't believe……"

"General...?" Mo Ran murmured, his voice low and inaudible.

"What did he ask your elder brother for? When did it happen? I haven't heard him say it." He pretended to be nonchalant.

Shu Jiutian did not suspect him: "On the night my elder brother came to Qingshui Town, you stayed in my restaurant for one night, because my elder brother is the prince and Taifu, he talked to my elder brother, what did he say? I don’t know either. My elder brother told me these things, this Jiang Jingjiu is really very scheming, Mo Ran, you’d better drive him away as soon as possible, and find another good man.”

"By the way, what do you think of me? I'm pretty good, and my identity is not as complicated as Jiang Jingjiu. Why don't you think about me? I will treat you well. If we two get married and work together in the future, I’m sure we can open Jiutian Restaurant all over the Yuanxia Dynasty, and the money we earn back will be fifty-five cents, and then…”

"Hmph, so his name is Jiang Jingjiu, and he is a general... He really recovered his memory, and you really know each other."

Mo Ran's voice suddenly became cold, and he raised his head, his face was clean and flawless, without any trace of tears.

Shu Jiutian was talking happily. When he saw his expressionless face and clean face, he was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect to be tricked, so he panicked:

"Mo Ran, you, didn't you say you know?"

Mo Ran put the cold tea on the table, and said in a calm voice, "I don't know, he's still playing stupid with me."

The implication is that he was lying to Shu Jiutian just now.

"Then you said he ignored you when he talked to the woman from the widow's house next door...?"

"I made it up."

"You said you are not worthy of him..." Isn't it because you know his general status?

"Whatever I say."

"And the white jade pendant he never leaves..."

"I've seen it before and gave it back to him."

Mo Ran was obviously smiling, but Shu Jiutian looked at it with a feeling of impending rain, swallowed, and realized that he had confessed everything, and he actually tore off Jiang Jingjiu's vest!

"Mo Ran, I remembered that there are still some things that I need to deal with in the restaurant. It's urgent! Well, let's make an appointment next time. Let's make an appointment next time. I'm leaving first, goodbye."

Feeling that his life was in danger, he got up and ran away, not knowing if Ajiu was outside.

Mo Ran said leisurely: "Did you come here and tell me something? Like cake or something?"

"Ah, there's no rush for the cake, I just haven't seen you for a long time, I want to come over to see you, and give you a gift by the way, that's all."

Shu Jiutian grabbed the hem of his long robe, hurriedly jumped into the carriage and left, as if a ghost was chasing after him.

The cake didn't work, Ajiu, who wanted to catch more fat rabbits for his wife Rua, went up the back hill, unaware that someone had wiped out his old background.

When he returned home with two fat rabbits in his left hand and a pig in his right hand, he found that the atmosphere in the house was somewhat dignified.

And the source of the low pressure is his wife.

Farmers are generally reluctant to light more candles at night, and always eat dinner early. Although Mo Ran's family does not need to save candles, they are used to eating dinner earlier.So even if it's not too late for Ajiu to come back, Mo Ran and the others have already had dinner.

Ajiu thought about it, and felt that if he didn't make the lady unhappy today, it should be someone who didn't have long eyes that made him angry, and said with a relaxed tone, "Lady, I brought you a rabbit back today. super cute~"

He was about to put the rabbit into Mo Ran's arms, and Mo Ran said in a calm voice with an expressionless face all the time: "You came back a bit late, General Jiang."

Ajiu's body froze, and Mo Ran looked at each other, there was no joke on the other's face, his voice was difficult, as if there were gravel in his throat: "...what are you calling me?"

"General, aren't you?"

"I heard your name is Jiang Jingjiu."

"Who did you listen to, my lady?" Mo Ran didn't seem to be joking. He obviously knew it. Ajiu couldn't pretend any longer, and his expression became serious. He thought that only one person who knew his identity came here today: "It's Shu Nine days?"

It was Shu Jiutian who ruined his plan.

Mo Ran was noncommittal, just said: "No matter who told me, it can't cover up the fact that you lied to me. It seems that your oath is not very effective. Could it be that there are eight out of ten sentences you usually say to me?" Is it a lie?"

"You said you liked me too?"

"no!"

Ajiu clenched his palms tightly, the rabbit's ears were pinched and hurt, and he screamed wildly, but he didn't seem to hear it, and just stared at Mo Ran, looking serious.

"Miss, I lied to you. I didn't tell you in time that I recovered my memory, but it's true that I like you. Except for concealing the two things of recovering memory and identity, I never lied to you again!"

"Although you may not believe me, I swear, what I said this time is true!"

"You said you liked me, but why did you hide something from me? Am I not worthy of your identity?"

Mo Ran stood up and sat in one position for too long, his legs were numb and stiff.

"But it's true, I'm just a lowly commoner, and you are a majestic general, so you have no qualifications."

"It's not worth it, and your status is not low, it's my problem."

Ajiu lowered his eyes, he was much taller than Mo Ran, even if Mo Ran stood up, he had to raise his head to meet him, but when Ajiu lowered his eyes, he couldn't see the thoughts in Ajiu's eyes.

"That's right, I'm a general, but do you know how others judge me? Because I don't like to be close to women, I rarely return to the court when I'm stationed on the border, and dance with swords all day long. People in the capital say I'm cold-blooded and ruthless, Killing people like hemp is a demon."

"I don't care what other people think of me, but I'm afraid that you, my lady, will be afraid of me if you know my identity and believe my rumors."

"When I think of the fear in your eyes looking at me, I can't bear it. My wife is beautiful, smart and kind. She shouldn't be tarnished by anything. Instead, I will feel that I am not worthy of you."

"But I really like you."

"It's not that I misunderstood someone. I also know that you are a man, but it doesn't matter. What I like is you, not your gender."

He smiled slightly.

"I want to have you so that you can't live without me."

"That's why I want to reveal my identity after I'm sure you like me too."
