Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 570 Xiao Yafang's Heartbeat

"It tastes really good, sweet but not greasy, and not dry either." Yue Ruyan gently lifted her veil, took a small bite, and commented.

"Husband, you try it too." Xiao Yunxi took out a piece and handed it to Chen Mo's mouth in a very intimate manner.

This made Xiao Ya, who had taken out a piece of peach blossom pastry and was about to give it to Chen Mo, retract her hand awkwardly and shyly. She stole a glance at Chen Mo and the other two, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one had noticed.

Fortunately, she was wearing a veil, so no one noticed the faint blush on her face.

Although not all the people in Jiangnan are wealthy, Jiangnan is the richest place in the world and has been rich for thousands of years. In addition to the famous families with a long history, there are also many wealthy merchants who are rich enough to rival a country.

The living standards of local people are much better than those in other places. Every household can have food to eat. People in Jiangnan City can even maintain a basic standard of living and can even eat meat once in a while.

Qinhuai City does not have the messy and rough buildings of Longyou, nor is it as rigid and serious as Tianchuan and Luonan. There are small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers along the way, and almost no two of them are the same.

There is a small river flowing through the city, and there are boatmen who make a living by rowing boats in the river. The boats are very slow, and you can visit half of Qinhuai City in half a day by sitting on the boat.

However, most of the people who took the boat were young men of letters, who would meet up with a few good friends, or call up girls from brothels to chat about everything under the sun, and talk about love.

"Come quickly, Qin's Rice Shop is distributing rice again. Whether you are from Qinhuai or other places, you can come and get half a pound of rice."

"Go and have a look."

"The Qin family has been very kind recently. They did it twice some time ago, and now they are doing it again."

"It's not just the Qin family. The heads of the He and Song families have gone out of the city to help the poor."

"..."

"Qinhuai is great. Not only is there not a single beggar, but there are also so many kind-hearted people." Chen Mo naturally heard these discussions and said with a little surprise.

In today's chaotic world, no matter how prosperous and stable a place is, there are always beggars, but there is not a single one in Qinhuai City.

Xiao Yunxi said, "There were beggars in the city before, but the masters in the city couldn't stand it, so they drove the beggars out of the city."

Chen Mo: "..."

“As for distributing rice and helping the poor, I’ve never seen these families be so generous before.” As she spoke, Xiao Yunxi looked at Xiao Ya. She was obviously not as clear as Xiao Ya about what had happened in the city recently.

"I heard from the old lady that after the news of Brother Mo's public trial in Fengzhou spread to Yangzhou, many wealthy families in Jiangnan were afraid that Brother Mo would take revenge on them later, so they have recently started to do more charity." Xiao Ya said softly, taking out a handkerchief and wiping her mouth.

Chen Mo didn't know what to say.

But to be honest, for now, Chen Mo doesn't dare to hold a public trial in Jiangnan.

The families in Fengzhou are just small families. Even if they resist, they won't be able to achieve anything.

But the situation in Jiangnan is different. The waters are very deep. If he dares to hold a public trial in Jiangnan, he would be stabbing himself in the back.

The four of them strolled from the west to the east of the city. At noon, they went to a restaurant in the west of the city for a big meal, and then after a short rest, they continued strolling.

Coming from the west to the south of the city, Xiao Yunxi selected some fine silks for Chen Mo to make a robe for him.

After eating candied haws, I made candy figures myself.

I have seen stones broken by chests, swords swallowed from mouths, people walking barefoot on mountains of knives and seas of fire, and coins taken from boiling oil pans.

After buying all kinds of food and clothes, the personal soldiers following behind him were carrying large and small bags.

Xiao Yunxi and Yue Ruyan had already taken off their veils.

After all, when you see something delicious, you have to buy it and taste it, which is inconvenient when wearing a veil.

As evening approached, the four of them were preparing to go home. Suddenly, Xiao Yunxi stopped in front of a stall, holding a pair of exquisite earrings and walked in front of Chen Mo, showing a little girl's smile and said, "Husband, do they look good?"

Xiao Yunxi had worn all kinds of expensive and exquisite jewelry. The jewelry sold on the street stalls was definitely not as good as what she owned. The reason why she was interested in this pair of cheap earrings was that she was just in the mood. And the environment was just right at the moment, so she just wanted to buy some.

Chen Mo would naturally not spoil the fun. Not only did he say it looked nice, he also wanted to bring it to Xiao Yunxi personally.

Then, Chen Mo picked out a beautiful bracelet for Yue Ruyan from the stall.

Xiao Ya watched the three of them chatting and laughing while holding jewelry, looking so intimate. For some reason, she felt a little lost in her heart. Today, she felt like an outsider and had not been able to fit in.

Just when her eyes were a little dim, the light in front of her eyes suddenly dimmed.

She looked up and found Chen Mo holding a hairpin and waving it in front of her. Seeing her looking at him, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Do you like it?"

"what?"

"I found this hairpin to be very pretty and it suits you very well. If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Give it to me?" Xiao Ya was startled, and then her heartbeat quickened. She couldn't help but think wildly. When a man gives a woman a hairpin, it is usually to express his affection. Now that Brother Mo gave her a hairpin, wouldn't that be...
Xiao Ya's face instantly turned red, and she said in a whisper, "I like it."

"Then Brother Mo will help you change it."

Chen Mo held Xiao Ya's bun steady, took off her original hairpin and replaced it with the one he had just bought.

Chen Mo is a head taller than Xiao Ya. Standing in front of Xiao Ya, the latter smells the masculine scent emanating from him and feels Chen Mo inserting a hairpin into her hair. Xiao Ya suddenly feels a sense of happiness and security.

The loss just now was swept away at this moment, and there was some moisture in his eyes.

When they were shopping during the day, some small details that Chen Mo might have done unintentionally or casually were suddenly magnified in Xiao Ya's eyes.

For example, at lunch, Chen Mo picked up a piece of meat for her and asked her to eat slowly.

When eating the candy man, I reminded her to be careful not to let the candy man melt and fall on her clothes.

"It seems that I have good taste. It's really beautiful." Chen Mo took a step back, took a look, and handed the hairpin he had changed to Xiao Ya.

After Xiao Ya took it, she was too shy to say a word.

When we returned, it was already dark.

By the way, they also watched a show of iron flower making.

While watching, Xiao Ya discovered that Xiao Yunxi was not standing next to Chen Mo, and she did not remind him, but stood over there on her own.

After Xiao Yunxi found out, she was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face.

As soon as they returned to the Xiao residence, Xiao Ya suddenly put the hairpin she had changed into Chen Mo's hand and said, "Brother Mo, this is for you."

After saying that, Chen Mo was not allowed to speak, so Xiao Ya ran away quickly with a red face and head down.

“This time, Xiaoya really wants to marry you.” Xiao Yunxi said faintly.

Just by strolling around Tianjie, Chen Mo has already captured the hearts of the girls.

Chen Mo touched his nose and said nothing.

When they were returning to the villa, the housekeeper of the Xiao residence came over and said, "Duke Anguo, during the day, Miss Zhihua from Huaxiang Tower sent someone to bring you an invitation."
