little fool's child bride
Chapter 38
"Do you know what the rumors are like outside? They say that you are a god who came down to earth, and you couldn't bear the suffering of the people in Ancheng from the captive epidemic, so you came here to spread the method of cowpox to the people through the mouth of the magistrate!" Liu Ziming and Zhao Ming laughed so hard that he was not at all as elegant as the usual Mr. Pianpian.As soon as Xiao Xiao sat down, she accepted their teasing, her face flushed red:
"Don't laugh at me, don't you know if others don't know?"
Xiao Xiao shuddered at the thought of other people's respectful eyes when he came here, and there were a few girls throwing handkerchiefs to him!He was so frightened that he hurriedly hired a carriage, and then avoided everyone's fiery eyes and entered the Qinglou smoothly.
"Know what? Do you know that you are the author of "Eight Precepts and Eight Essentials" posted on the streets and alleys?" Zhao Ming couldn't help smiling when he thought about it.He originally thought that Xiao Xiao was just a young man who loved cooking, but he was able to come up with methods to prevent and control the epidemic; he originally thought that Xiao Xiao was proficient in medical skills, but he could also write exquisite articles.I don't know how much talent and learning this person has hidden. Zhao Ming can't see through it, but he looks up to him, and his admiration is uncontrollable.
"Almost everyone in Ancheng can sing, the lyricist of "Picking Mulberries"?" Liu Ziming continued with a smile. I wrote several poems along this word board, and I am afraid that there is no one in the literati who does not know Xiaodi.
"I told you that I didn't write it," Xiao Xiao explained helplessly for the Nth time. Was it really a mistake to drink? "It's all my fault for being drunk! I don't know when I will be able to go out as usual..."
The other two couldn't help but look at him sympathetically when they saw his unlovable expression, and then shook their heads with certainty: "I'm afraid it's impossible in a short period of time. I heard that even the royal city was trapped by the plague this time. Thanks to the "Xiao Fang" handed over by Hong Zhifu, the crisis of abandoning the city was avoided. Hong Zhifu is in his prime, and it is necessary to be promoted to a noble; you are a great benefactor who saved the world, and you are so talented, say Maybe you will get the blue eyes of the Holy Master and rise to the top!"
"The more you talk about it, the more my scalp becomes numb!" Xiao Xiao bit her nails, feeling that one head and two big ones, "I just wanted to try to save it, how did it become like this? I don't want to see the emperor, let alone anything Step by step! I just want to start a small business and buy a small yard..."
"Others are trying their best to go to the officialdom, why is it the other way around here?" Zhao Ming held up his wine glass and clicked his tongue a few times: "But I like you, my son! Life is too short, what fame and fortune are you fighting for?" What's the point? It's better to warm the wine in the spring breeze, with three or five friends, reciting poems and making love in this small building is a joy!"
"I've never seen you reciting poems correctly, but every time I come here, I see you drinking!" Xiao Xiao complained, and the distress between her brows dissipated a lot.He also raised his wine glass, touched Zhao Ming lightly, and drank with his head raised.
"It's only Chen's time, why did you drink it?" Liu Ziming shook his head, the people behind him would not let him get drunk in the morning, so he could only use tea to relieve the itching.
Even if he was drunk, he might be able to figure out his identity.Thinking in his heart, Liu Ziming poured wine for the two without a trace. After Zhao Ming found out, he cooperated with him to pour Xiao Xiao down, and finally poured Xiao Xiao down.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, I can't drink any more, I have to drive back..." Xiao Xiao rubbed her face hard, "Why is this water like wine? How can it be on top?"
"It's because you drink too little," Liu Ziming shook his head, he didn't expect Xiao Xiao to become like this after three drinks.Pass him another glass of wine, "Have a cup of tea to sober up."
Xiao Xiao obediently took it and drank it, but he frowned and spit it out again: "This tea smells like alcohol! I don't like this, bring me a bottle of Assam milk tea!"
"What milk tea? Milk and tea leaves?" Zhao Ming thought about the taste of milk, and felt that Xiao Xiao must be talking nonsense when he was drunk.
"Probably... isn't it?" Xiao Xiao has only drank milk tea bottled in supermarkets, how does she know how milk tea is made?It doesn't seem to matter much to a drunk, though, "I'm going home...my cat is waiting for me..."
"Then I'll take you back. Where do you live?" Liu Ziming's eyes lit up, and he finally got what he wanted to know. "It happens that my carriage is outside. Let's go back together."
"Carriage? Awesome!" Xiao Xiao looked at Liu Ziming in shock, "I've never been in a carriage before! Can a carriage go on the road? Will it not be stopped by the traffic police?"
"Who dares to stop my car?" Liu Ziming helped Xiao Xiao go out, "Come on, I'll see you..."
"Okay, I live at 15, Block A, Building 402, Qingyuan Community, opposite to New Mart, Dongfanghong Avenue. The key is with me... Eh? Where's my key? Where's my key?"
The more Xiao Xiao searched, the more confused he became. He groped up and down, and inexplicably found that he was wearing the same Hanfu for some reason, and he didn't know where he stuffed his wallet.When Liu Ziming saw that he started to take off his clothes, he quickly grabbed his hand to prevent him from doing any more indecent things.After finally deceiving Xiao Xiao that he had the key in his hand, he began to keep asking for the address, but Liu Ziming couldn't understand a word Xiao Xiao said, and finally Xiao Xiao fell asleep happily.
"Your paranoia is too much." Zhao Ming watched the whole process, and when he finally calmed down, he spoke coldly.Liu Ziming was silent for a while, put Xiao Xiao on the recliner expressionlessly, and stared at Xiao Xiao's peaceful sleeping face for a long time.If a person like him doesn't care, if it's just a casual acquaintance, why should he bother to know his identity?Zhao Ming can associate with all kinds of people without any grievances, and can chat and laugh with people from all over the world, but he can't.With his identity, he is doomed that he can only shrink cautiously in his own world for the rest of his life, and can only communicate with people who know the bottom line.
"He is simple-minded and doesn't care for fame and wealth. I believe my eyes, he is definitely not that kind of person," Zhao Ming knew that he had hit his friend's sore spot, and finally said helplessly, "Besides, how many times have you been out of the palace these years? It's all about hiding your identity, he doesn't even know who you are, and what is he trying to do with you?"
"It's always good to be cautious."
Before Liu Ziming could speak, the butler behind him spoke. Zhao Ming seemed to understand something and sighed faintly.In his heart, he complained to the lady, how could she take care of her son like a prisoner?Looking gentle and virtuous, but from the way he treats Liu Ziming, he can't feel good at all.He picked up the wine glass and wanted to take a sip, but at this moment Xiao Xiao suddenly made a sound, which made his hands tremble in fright, the wine glass slammed on the table with a clang, and the wine spilled all over him.
"who are you?"
"who are you?"
Xiao Xiao sat up amidst the doubtful eyes of the two, her eyes were clear.Seeing that neither of them answered, he licked his lips and asked a second time.
"Aren't you drunk?" Liu Ziming asked with a complicated expression.
Xiao Xiao only drank three small cups, how could she pass out so quickly?He was just pushing the boat along the way, wanting to know the purpose of the two of them.Just like what Zhao Ming said, he didn't know anything about Liu Ziming, so how could he be unprepared.This time, the two sang together and wanted to get him drunk, and he also wanted to find out some information, so they cooperated quite well.But when he heard something coming out of the palace, he couldn't pretend to fall asleep.
"You're from the palace? You can't be a prince or something?" Xiao Xiao rubbed her face, deeply feeling something was wrong.
Now the emperor of Baiyu Kingdom is over fifty years old, but there are only two adult princes under his knees, one is established as the current prince, and the other is in the deep palace all the year round, there is very little news about him.The prince is learning how to deal with political affairs with the emperor, so naturally he won't show up in Ancheng; the second prince who is said to be in the palace suddenly appeared here, wouldn't he want to do something big?
Xiao Xiao was deeply depressed when he thought about the plot of his favorite novel about seeking power, usurping the throne, and revolting against the rebels. God is really playing with him!Others traveled through either space or systems, and the worst one was the one who showed off his culinary skills. Only he was forced to marry a kid as a child bride, and then narrowly escaped from the smallpox attack.After finally calming down, he originally thought that he could borrow a supermarket to make a fortune, but the partner turned out to be a prince who wanted to rebel...
Xiao Xiao's eyes became more and more melancholy, which made Liu Ziming feel puzzled.Thinking that Xu Shi was sad because he was deceived by him, he had to explain: "I know that you are the wife of the second young master of the Jiang family, and I also know that you are a person who escaped from Lin'an County. I am sorry for investigating you. Of course, I am even more sorry. I concealed my identity and failed your honesty. It's just that my identity is really sensitive, so I'm really sorry for pretending to be from the Qiu family for the sake of unnecessary trouble."
Back then when the epidemic was raging, how could Xiao Xiao remember that she kept her identity a secret from them?Therefore, when I told the old man about the prevention and treatment method, I forgot to ask, and the old man, an "upright" person, completely exposed him, and Xiao Xiao's name was known to everyone.Xiao Xiao had a headache before, but she didn't think there was any problem after being with the two for so long, so she felt relieved.
But now there is a problem.
He is not afraid of his identity being exposed, and honesty is the basis for long-term cooperation.But if Liu Ziming was the prince, it would be different.What is a prince doing business with himself?If he lacked the funds for rebellion, he would not have that much ability; if he lacked the dog-headed military commander, he would be a mere mortal without that amazing talent.The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and finally he asked:
"Didn't you say you were in the palace? Why did you appear in Ancheng and do business with me again?"
"I..." Liu Ziming pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind, "My mother is the current Concubine Lan, and also the daughter of a former minister of the Ministry of War. It's a pity that my grandfather returned home after being defeated in the battle of Xunyang Pass. The remaining Lan family The highest rank is no higher than the third rank, so there is not much influence in the court. Father and my mother are just a marriage between two families. After the decline of the Lan family, father became indifferent to my mother, even I I only see him once a year. It just so happens that the queen gave birth to a son for him, so I..."
"This is too much." Xiao Xiao frowned, such irresponsible people are really not worthy of being parents.
Liu Ziming heard Xiao Xiao chuckle for his injustice, and the depression in his heart due to the past also dissipated a lot.After organizing his words, he continued: "Originally, in the year of Dancing Elephant, I could be sealed off and be an idle prince. But who knows something happened. I have been procrastinating on the sealing up, and I don't know when I will be able to come out." That cage. I was upset, so I went out of the palace to relax in the name of visiting relatives, and came to Ziqing for a drink to relieve boredom. As for doing business with you... it's just that it's really boring here, and I don't want to go back to the royal city."
Xiao Xiao didn't know if what he said was true or not, but he was a prince, so naturally he believed what Xiao Xiao said.Besides, since Liu Ziming, ah, it should be Liu Ziming, he said that he was just doing business out of boredom, so Xiao Xiao was thinking too much before he became himself.
"Then since it's all said and done, can we get drunk?" Zhao Ming took the coat from the servant and changed into it, and was relieved to see the two of them open and honest.He filled the wine glasses for the two of them, "However, I didn't expect Brother Xiao to be the second wife of the Jiang family. Have you thought about leaving the Jiang family? Taibai and I can help."
"Of course..." Good!
Xiao Xiao opened her eyes wide in surprise, and quickly wanted to agree, but for some reason, she suddenly thought of the little fool, and couldn't say the remaining two words.If he left, there should be no problem with the little fool and the old man, right?Besides, he didn't go far away, he will often visit Jiang Muyu in the future...
"Don't laugh at me, don't you know if others don't know?"
Xiao Xiao shuddered at the thought of other people's respectful eyes when he came here, and there were a few girls throwing handkerchiefs to him!He was so frightened that he hurriedly hired a carriage, and then avoided everyone's fiery eyes and entered the Qinglou smoothly.
"Know what? Do you know that you are the author of "Eight Precepts and Eight Essentials" posted on the streets and alleys?" Zhao Ming couldn't help smiling when he thought about it.He originally thought that Xiao Xiao was just a young man who loved cooking, but he was able to come up with methods to prevent and control the epidemic; he originally thought that Xiao Xiao was proficient in medical skills, but he could also write exquisite articles.I don't know how much talent and learning this person has hidden.

"Almost everyone in Ancheng can sing, the lyricist of "Picking Mulberries"?" Liu Ziming continued with a smile. I wrote several poems along this word board, and I am afraid that there is no one in the literati who does not know Xiaodi.
"I told you that I didn't write it," Xiao Xiao explained helplessly for the Nth time. Was it really a mistake to drink? "It's all my fault for being drunk! I don't know when I will be able to go out as usual..."

Life is too short, what fame and fortune are you fighting for?" What's the point?
