Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 635 Born in trouble and died in comfort
"Ma'am?" Xiao Baorui heard the movement behind him, got into the carriage in a hurry, and hugged Tang Huanxi into his arms!
"My lady? My lady?"

Xiao Baorui pinched her nervously. After a breath, Tang Huanxi slowly opened his eyes.

"Miss? Are you okay?"

"Xiao Baorui, I'm fine..." Tang Huanxi managed to force a smile, "I think I may have suffered from heat stroke."

This weather is really depressing.

The carriage drove fast and finally arrived at Spring City at noon.

In the past, Spring City was like spring all the year round, with a pleasant climate.

But now, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky, as if it wants to scorch the entire land.

There are few pedestrians on the huge street.

The guests are like clouds coming to the inn.

Xiao Baorui asked for two guest rooms, and ordered the waiter to prepare hot water.

After Tang Huanxi settled down, he hurried to the pharmacy.

"What is this?" Tang Huanxi frowned as she looked at the bowl of black soup in his palm, "It smells so bitter!"

"Drink it quickly, lady. This is the soup I asked the shopkeeper of the pharmacy to get. It can clear away heat and relieve summer heat."

Tang Huanxi hated drinking bitter soup the most, but it was Xiao Baorui's kindness after all.

So she pinched her nose and downed the bowl of soup medicine.

Seeing her frowning and bitter face, Xiao Baorui smiled unkindly.

"You can still laugh?" Tang Huanxi glared at him angrily.

"Miss," Xiao Baorui looked at her with gentle and doting eyes, and he hooked her into his arms, "Thanks for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Tang Huanxi responded gently, "Xiao Baorui, as long as I can be with you, I won't be hard."

"Miss..."

The two embraced for a while, and finally Xiao Baorui reluctantly let go of the person in his arms.

"Miss, since we have traveled all the way, the weather has been sweltering and the land has dried up. I am worried that if this continues, when the drought breaks out, the people will..."

"Didn't you already write a letter and hand it over to the court? Why hasn't it been written for so long?"

"This area is far away from the capital, not to mention that even if the disaster relief funds from the imperial court come down, there will still be those black-hearted court officials who take the money and food as their own and disregard human lives." Xiao Baorui said in a heavy tone, "Previously When we fought against Xiliang, the grain and grass sent by the imperial court were replaced by stones! Today's Dayong Dynasty is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface!"

Born in sorrow and dying in peace.

Although Murong Ze ascended to the throne back then, he lacked ability and was suspicious by nature.

As a result, traitorous officials in the entire court were rampant.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the imperial court is dead!

"Xiao Baorui, do you want that question?" Tang Huanxi looked at him and pointed to the sky with his index finger.

Xiao Baorui looked at her and shook his head gently.

"My lady, I just want to know the truth about the destruction of the Xiao family back then. As long as I can kill the enemy with my own hands, I will take you, Yijin and Jingyuan to live in seclusion in the mountains, and never care about world affairs."

"Jing Yuan is now in the palace, if she thinks about it again, it will be difficult to reach the sky..."

Two fists are no match for four hands.

As the king of a country, Murong Ze holds the power of life and death.

If he wanted to kill them in any way, it would be as easy as pie.

"It's not difficult, I already have a plan." Xiao Baorui gently held her hand, and said with a firm gaze, "We will reach the capital after going around two more cities. Go to the Great Buddha Temple and take Jing Yuan away."

"Jing Yuan is in the Great Buddha Temple now?" Tang Huanxi frowned immediately, and asked worriedly, "Shouldn't Jing Yuan be in the palace?"

"Jing Yuan is at the Great Buddha Temple now," Xiao Baorui said firmly.

The two made up their minds again, handed Yijin to Hongfu's care, and they left the inn together.

As dusk approached, there were more and more people on the street.

It's just that the sweltering weather is so uncomfortable that almost everyone has a fan.

"Sell yourself to bury your father?" Xiao Baorui looked at the straight figure kneeling on the ground not far away, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Xiao Baorui, shall we go and have a look?"

Tang Huanxi took his arm and approached the crowd, seeing clearly the face of the man kneeling on the ground, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

The two looked at each other again and saw surprise from the bottom of each other's eyes.

"I'll help you," Tang Huanxi took out six taels of silver from his pocket, handed it to the yellow and thin little girl, looked into her lifeless eyes, and whispered, "Go buy a coffin and bury it properly." Your father, after you have made arrangements, go to Ke Siyunlai Inn to find me, my husband's family name is Xiao."

The little girl's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she slammed her head a few times in Tang Huanxi's direction!
Seeing her like this, Tang Huanxi felt sad.

He raised his hand and rubbed her head, his eyes became more and more gentle, "Well, I'll let my husband buy you a coffin to bury your father, okay?"

The little girl kowtowed to her again, kowtowed non-stop, and soon a big bump appeared on her head.

"Xiao Baorui, I'll leave this to you." Tang Huanxi led the little girl back to the inn, and then ordered the waiter to prepare hot water.

The little girl in ragged clothes was actually covered with scars.

Looking at the scars on her body, Tang Huanxi couldn't help but gasped.

"Who can beat you?"

The little girl tightly pursed her lips and said nothing, but a layer of mist appeared in her eyes.

Tang Huanxi pulled her into his arms with great distress, "My name is Tang Huanxi, and I will be your Aunt Huanxi from now on. With me here, no one will dare to hurt you again!"

When she finished taking the little girl's bath, Hongfu bought a set of pink shirts and handed them to her.

Tang Huanxi gently combed the little girl's hair, her eyes full of distress.

"Ma'am?" Hong Fu, who had been standing by her side, was suddenly worried, "Does Madam really want to take in this little girl?"

"Well," Tang Huanxi nodded lightly, "Her eyes are very much like a friend of mine."

Hongfu stopped talking and stood quietly aside.

An hour later, Xiao Baorui found a cemetery outside the city and buried the little girl's father.

"Now that your father is buried in the ground, can you tell me now, what is your name?"

The little girl just looked at her with her head held high, her eyes empty.

"It's okay if you don't remember it." Tang Huanxi rubbed her head gently, and smiled slightly, "You can tell me when you remember it, okay? But in the meantime, you need a name. "

"Why don't you call me Ke'er? I think you are very cute and suitable for this name."

The little girl listened carefully to her words, and finally nodded slightly.

Kerr.

She prefers this name to the previous name.

After the group finished their dinner, Tang Huanxi picked up little Yijin and began to breastfeed her.

After eating and drinking enough, Xiao Yijin closed her eyes again and fell asleep.

Ke'er stood on the side watching this scene, his eyes were full of doubts.

"He...is very small." Surprisingly, Ke'er looked at Yijin and said something.

"This is my son Xiao Yijin, Ke'er, would you like to be his sister?"
