Chapter 229 Xiang Qin's Life Experience (1)

After Situ Jie left, Xiang Qin and Liu Xiaodong also continued to go south. It is already December, and the weather is getting colder every day. Liu Xiaodong was always afraid of the cold. Now she stays in the carriage every day, and even eating is a matter of Xiang Qin. After Qin was done, he sent her to the carriage.

After searching a large area for a period of time, Shangguan He still did not receive the news he wanted. He stayed in Quan'an City for half a month before returning to the capital, but he left some of his cronies in Quan'an City and the surrounding areas. In the cities and towns, the yamen of various places still strictly screen out suspicious persons.

Therefore, Xiang Qin and Liu Xiaodong have no choice but to take the official road, they cannot stay in the inn, they can only take the country road, the news in the village is lagging behind, it will be much safer than the official road, but in order to prevent the villagers from seeing them, they will remember Their appearance will attract the investigation of the government, so Xiang Qin and Liu Xiaodong can't go to the villagers' house to spend the night, they can only sleep in the carriage.

At this time, Liu Xiaodong was glad that they still had a carriage, otherwise they might not even have a place to live. Although the carriage could barely be regarded as a place to shelter from the wind, it was better than nothing in the increasingly cold weather.

It's fine during the day, but at night, no matter how thick the quilt Liu Xiaodong should be, he still feels cold on his body. If Xiang Qin didn't hold Liu Xiaodong to sleep at night and protect the two of them with his own internal strength, Liu Xiaodong's body would really be fine. I can't take it anymore.

This night, after Liu Xiaodong fell asleep, a carrier pigeon landed on the roof of their carriage, still cooing, Xiang Qin was very familiar with its voice.

Xiang Qin opened his eyes, wrapped the quilt around Liu Xiaodong a little more tightly, then stepped out of the carriage lightly, grabbed the carrier pigeon on the roof of the carriage, took off the letter tied to it, and unfolded it to the moonlight. , the letter was written by his mother, and there are only two words - reply quickly.

Xiang Qin felt unspeakable. He was restless and didn't want to go in to disturb Liu Xiaodong's sleep, so he just sat outside alone, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Xiaodong was woken up by the cold. He opened his eyes and found that Xiang Qin was not in the carriage. No wonder he felt cold just now. At the same time, Liu Xiaodong wondered why Xiang Qin didn’t go to sleep at this late hour. Liu Xiaodong put on his clothes and got out of the carriage. , Xiang Qin was sitting outside, he seemed to be holding something in his hand, his face turned red with the light of the fire in front of him.

Xiang Qin was thinking about something, and didn't notice that Liu Xiaodong had already walked beside him, "Xiang Qin, what are you doing sitting here without sleeping so late? Beware of catching a cold." Liu Xiaodong has never seen such a distracted Xiang Qin, Patted his shoulder and said.

"Why are you up? Come in, it's cold outside." Liu Xiaodong's touch brought Xiang Qin back to his senses, and quickly stuffed the note in his hand into the sleeve of his coat, then stood up and prepared to take off his coat Liu Xiaodong put it on.

Liu Xiaodong pressed Xiang Qin's hand, "I don't need it. There's a fire here. I'm not cold. Wear your clothes carefully. Be careful not to catch the wind and cold. You haven't said anything yet. What are you doing so late? What are you doing with the fire in your hand? of what?"

Xiang Qin still went to the carriage to get a piece of clothing for Liu Xiaodong to put on, but obviously didn't want to say more, "It's nothing, why are you awake?"

Liu Xiaodong tightened his clothes, "I fell asleep and suddenly felt a little cold, so I woke up and found that you were missing, so I came out to look for you. What about you?"

Xiang Qin sat down, still not intending to tell Liu Xiaodong what happened just now, and put one arm around Liu Xiaodong's waist, "It's nothing, but I'm not too sleepy, I'm afraid it will disturb you, so I came out to get some air."

Then Liu Xiaodong sat down with Xiang Qin, Liu Xiaodong knew that Xiang Qin must not be telling the truth, otherwise he would not dare to look at him, "Are you thinking about how to prevent Shangguan He from finding us?"

"No," Xiang Qin didn't want to say more, and was worried that Liu Xiaodong would catch cold in the cold outside, "let's go, go back and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow."

Xiang Qin was about to stand up, but Liu Xiaodong took Xiang Qin's hand, Xiang Qin could only sit down again, Liu Xiaodong embraced Xiang Qin's entire arm with both hands, and then leaned his head on it, "Xiang Qin, you and I They're husband and wife." At this point, Liu Xiaodong raised his head to look at Xiang Qin again, and said seriously, "Why don't you tell me what's bothering you, maybe I can help you solve it."

Xiang Qin didn't make a sound for a while, and Liu Xiaodong didn't urge him, just waited for him quietly.

Xiang Qin was silent for a while, and finally, as if he had made an agreement, he looked at Liu Xiaodong and said, "Daughter-in-law, have I never told you about my parents?"

Liu Xiaodong leaned on Xiang Qin's body, looked ahead, "Yes."

Xiang Qin hugged Liu Xiaodong closer in his arms, "My home is in the south of the Yangtze River." Liu Xiaodong wanted to ask him why he lived in Taohua Village later, so he heard Xiang Qin say, "I don't Brothers and sisters, I am the only son in the family. Our family is in business. My father hopes that I will inherit the family property in the future, so I have been taught these things since I was a child. But my mother thinks that no matter how good the business is, I am just a businessman. "

"You also know that scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are ranked at the bottom, so my mother thinks that merchants are worthless, so she wants me to go into an official career, so she asked my husband to teach me strategy and politics, but I am the only one who is engaged in business and government. I don’t like it, my wish is to be a knight.”

It was the first time Liu Xiaodong heard Xiang Qin talk about her family and her life experience. Her first reaction was why Xiang Qin never told her about his family affairs, so that she didn't know anything about his life experience, because she didn't believe her. ?But Liu Xiaodong suddenly thought that she was also carrying too many secrets and kept them from Xiang Qin, but Xiang Qin never asked. Don't even ask, but choose to believe her.

So Liu Xiaodong didn't interrupt Xiang Qin, but listened quietly all the time, her hand was still holding Xiang Qin's hand tightly, as if she wanted to tell Xiang Qin that she was always there.

"My father is quite tolerant to me. He knows that I want to be a knight, but what he asks of me is that I also take care of the family's business, because the family's business and property are destined to be inherited by me. I I can hire someone to help me with my business, but I still have to learn what I should know in doing business.”

"But my mother is very strict with me. She doesn't look like someone else's loving mother at all. My mother doesn't agree with me being a knight. I just married my father, so my mother always wants me to get a good name in the exam, so as to honor her family's lintel."
