Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 32: Lao Zhang is still Lao Zhang
It is understandable that Old Zhang came back suddenly, after all, he has always been so erratic, but to say that he brought the little princess with him is really too much.

Kidnapping the princess will result in the death penalty, Lao Zhang.

"Why did you come here suddenly? If the prince knew about this, wouldn't he kill me?"

The little princess looked up at Xia Lin with sparkling eyes: "My father took my two brothers to Beijing to participate in the Zong family's tomb sweeping ceremony. They will not be back until after the grand court meeting. I have been alone in the palace these days. I happened to meet Brother Zhongchun on the road that day, so I asked him where he was going to celebrate the New Year. He said he wanted to come to see you, so I followed him."

After listening to it, Xia Lin was deeply moved. This style is really very Lao Zhang. He does things without considering the consequences and changes his mind directly when he is hot-headed. But if you think about it, it is reasonable. After all, this is Lao Zhang.

The current problem is how to settle the little princess. It is not realistic to send her back now. The ships and carriages on the road have basically stopped. They also need to go home for the New Year. If they don't have these things and rely on their own two feet, it will be the Year of the Tiger and the Qingming Festival of the Year of the Rabbit when they reach the provincial capital. When they land in the provincial capital, they will be arrested and beheaded for public display. The little princess will definitely be taken to the palace by the midwife for a physical examination. Who knows if this jumping little monkey has been injured by a stone or a wooden stake? When the examination finds out, oh, it's over. Xia Lin's head is still rolling on the ground, and then she will be dragged out and sliced ​​into sashimi.

This is a tragic way to die, it must not happen...

Therefore, the only way now is to wait until the New Year is over and send the little princess back as soon as possible after the new year. Anyway, he has to report to the provincial government after the new year. This should be enough time for him to take advantage of the time difference with the prince who has returned from the grand court meeting and send the little princess back to the palace in advance.

"Okay, okay, let's go back first."

Back in the township government office, Xia Lin put his hands on his waist and sighed as he looked at the little princess who was walking around curiously. Then he looked back at Chuntao and said, "Sister Chuntao, please help find a room for the little princess. Old Zhang will move in with me these days and let the little princess sleep in my room."

"Got it. I'll do it right away."

Chun Tao went to clean up the room quickly, and the little princess came over and sat on the small stone table in front of Xia Lin. She had grown taller in half a year, and her figure could be seen through her clothes. She must have started to grow.

This is even more difficult to deal with. After all, people will lose basic rationality under the influence of hormones. Why do passionate and lingering love always happen between young boys and girls, but there are very few people in their thirties and forties who are willing to risk their lives for love? It is because as the hormone level drops sharply after the age of thirty, people will gradually become clearer and more rational. Once a person becomes rational, doesn't it mean love is for the hell of it?

But at the little princess's age... let's put it this way, if Xia Lin coaxes her for three days from now, and after three days, asks her to jump into the river, she will hesitate for three hours at most and then jump in with a splash.

This is extremely dangerous. At this time, the girl belongs to an unpredictable chaotic system. She can do everything that is unexpected, and all her actions are beyond people's expectations.

Looking at this troublesome little girl, Xia Lin said helplessly: "Do you know how dangerous it is for you to come here like this?"

"Danger is fun. If it wasn't dangerous, I wouldn't have come." The little princess said proudly, "Don't lecture me like an old man. You are only three years older than me. My father is nine years older than my mother. When they got married, my mother was only twelve. I am fourteen already. What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Oh my..." Xia Lin covered his ears: "It's unbearable to hear."

The little princess poked him hard with her finger, and then ran to the pigpen to play. After all, the pigpen was prepared for Lao Zhang at that time. There were no pigs in it, only a big yellow dog for guarding the house. The little princess obviously liked the dog very much, so she went over to play with him.

"Lao Zhang, I don't know what you were thinking about. How could you bring her here?"

"No? If I don't bring her, she will kill me. She came into the inn in the middle of the night with a bag on her back, climbed through the window, shook me up, and said to me, 'Brother Zhongchun, I'm ready, let's go.' If I disagreed at this time, she would have shouted, do you think I would have died?"

Xia Lin hissed, but when he thought about it, this was indeed something the little princess could do. However, since things have come to this, there is no point in blaming her anymore. It is already like this, so why not just leave it as it is.

Fortunately, the little princess was just naughty and not as bad as her elder sister. Although an innocent girl might cause some trouble to others sometimes, she is not annoying at all.

After finally finishing their meal, it was evening. Zhang had originally planned to talk to Xia Lin about his experiences over the past few months, but he was too tired from the long journey and went to bed early. Xia Lin was also tired after a day's work, so he took a quick shower and returned to his room, where he fell asleep soon after.

Old Zhang beside me was sleeping like a pig. The howling north wind outside made the tiles on the roof rustle, which looked quite scary.

Suddenly there was a knock on his door, and Xia Lin suddenly woke up: "Who?"

"I..." The little princess' voice came from outside the door: "Daosheng... I'm afraid..."

Xia Lin sighed again, pulled on his coat and walked out to open the door. When he opened the door, he saw the little princess shivering at the door in a single layer of clothes, her face pale, and he didn't know whether it was because of the cold or fear.

"Go back to the house first." Xia Lin looked back at Old Zhang, who turned over and scratched his feet, and then led the little princess to her own room next door.

He turned on the light, pushed the little princess back onto the bed, tucked the cup behind her, and then Xia Lin sat beside the bed, staring at the little princess in a daze, his consciousness a little blurred.

When the princess saw his look, she slowly moved her body inside and then patted the bed with her hand.

Xia Lin woke up with a start. He glanced at the little princess on the bed, then laughed helplessly: "Princess, do you know what your action means?"

"I see you're cold and sleepy, so I'll let you come up. Anyway, I dare not sleep alone. Just now there was a ghost knocking on my window outside..." Xia Lin got up and walked to the window, opened it and took a look. He found that there was no ghost outside, but just a hanging camphor tree branch that was blown by the wind and hit the window frame, making a banging sound.

"It was a branch. With such a strong wind, I'm afraid it will snow tomorrow." Xia Lin walked back to the bed and leaned against it, picking up a corner of the quilt to cover his stomach: "You go to sleep, I'll sit here with you."

"Ok!"

The little princess curled up in the quilt and soon fell into a deep sleep. Xia Lin was at a loss as to what to do with her as she looked like a child.

However, Xia Lin, who had planned to lean there until dawn, obviously overestimated his willpower. When he opened his eyes in the morning and turned his head to the side, he saw a pair of big eyes looking at him.

Xia Lin's mind buzzed, and he was completely blank. But soon he calmed down. He was just asleep, not drunk. He didn't even need to check his clothes. He just fell asleep last night and got into bed because he was afraid of the cold.

"It's over..." The little princess muttered in a low voice: "I have been ruined by you."

Xia Linteng sat up suddenly, but was dragged down by the little princess: "It's so cold."

This matter was so serious that he couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River. However, when he was thinking about what to do, the little princess came closer and said, "It's so cold..."

"It's so cold, put on some clothes!"

Xia Lin threw back the quilt and stood up: "I'll let Chuntao take you to find a midwife to check your body, otherwise I will die."

"I won't go..." The little princess became aggrieved: "I won't say anything."

"This matter is really fatal, you can't talk nonsense."

"Oh……"

Xia Lin shook his head: "You sleep a little longer, I'm going back to the room. You're not afraid now, right?"

The little princess wanted to say something but stopped herself. She still buried her head in the quilt, leaving only her eyes exposed, looking at Xia Lin's back.

When Xia Lin returned to his and Lao Zhang's room, Lao Zhang was leaning against the head of the bed flipping through his own calligraphy and painting albums. When he saw Xia Lin come in, he smiled contemptuously.

"What the hell are you laughing at?"

"Last night I got up to pee and suddenly found that you were gone. This morning you came hurriedly from the next room, and your body was full of the fragrance of the little princess. Daosheng, although you and I are master and servant, we are as close as brothers. Why are you still hiding this from me?"

"I'm hiding a chicken thigh from your grandmother."

Xia Lin sat down on the bed and told Lao Zhang what happened last night. Lao Zhang laughed out loud: "This is just like not catching the fox but getting into trouble. Not only did you not eat the chicken, you were also scratched by the guard dog."

"Don't mention it, hey..."

Old Zhang crossed his legs and said leisurely, "During the days when I was away, you and Chuntao were alone, right? Huh? Tell me."

Xia Lin touched his chin and said, "There were a few times when I almost did it. You know that young men are full of energy. When I heard the sound of water next door, I wanted to go and see it. There were two times when I couldn't help but go and see it. Sister Chuntao probably knows about it..."

"She didn't scold me?"

"No, that's why I said almost."

Old Zhang tutted his tongue and said, "That's right. This maidservant has the responsibility of being a concubine. The young prince may look down on her status, but it's different for you. If you ask her to come over at night, she won't disagree. So even if she knows you're peeping, she won't stop you. But if you expect her to take the initiative, I'm afraid it will take some time."

"From what you said, am I that kind of person?"

"Why do you think the young prince gave you a maid? To help you feed the pigs?"
