Silly couple dote on their wives

Chapter 223 Suspicious Bandit

Surprise flashed in Wei Xiangxiang's eyes when she got Meng Ruoqing's words. She got up and handed the brush and rice paper to Meng Ruoqing.

Originally, Wei Xiangxiang's family didn't have these things, but after Meng Ruoqing handed over the collection of medicinal materials to her, she gradually learned to settle accounts, followed Yang Zixian, and learned a lot of words, so she also followed Yang Zixian to write and draw.

Meng Ruoqing thought for a while, and finally drew a magpie to announce the spring. Wei Xiangxiang looked at the agile magpie on the rice paper, and her eyes lit up: "It's really beautiful, Second Aunt, your hand is really clever."

"It's just a matter of earning a living." Meng Ruoqing smiled, not paying attention to it at all.

The two chatted for a while, and Dongmei came to call: "Ma'am, Sister Mujin is back. Do you want to go back and have a look?"

Meng Ruoqing looked out in surprise when she heard the words. When she came back from Tongguan, she left Mujin and Dafu in Juxian Tower in Tongguan to help them. Delayed for some reason, and now at last home.

"I'll go back now, Xiangxiang, I'll go first, and I'll come to see you another day." Meng Ruoqing got up, said goodbye to Wei Xiangxiang, and walked out quickly.

Because he didn't pay attention to the road under his feet, he tripped and jumped out. Before Meng Ruoqing stabilized himself, Wei Mingxuan stopped Meng Ruoqing's slender waist, and looked at Meng Ruoqing with some concern: "Go slowly, Hibiscus He and Dafu are at home, and we won’t lose them.”

Meng Ruoqing stuck out her tongue at Wei Mingxuan, quickly got out of Wei Mingxuan's arms, and walked quickly to the house. At this time, Mu Jin was distributing the gifts brought back from Tongguan with everyone.

Everyone looked beaming, Meng Ruoqing walked into the room quickly, grabbed Mu Jin's hand and looked at it carefully: "You seem to be thinner, didn't Dafu take good care of you?"

Hearing this, Mu Jin's face suddenly turned red, and she quietly looked at Da Fu, who was talking to Er Fu, with eyes full of water. Her face was slightly hot, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Meng Ruoqing again, she just said: "Ma'am, Dafu takes good care of me."

Looking at Mu Jin and Dafu's appearance, there is nothing Meng Ruoqing didn't understand, thinking that such a charming girl beside her was actually taken away by that dull Dafu, she was a little unhappy: "Dafu, It must be because you didn't take good care of Hibiscus, otherwise why did you lose weight?"

"What Madam said is true, is it Dafu's fault?" Looking at the man who was obviously not plump in Weijiazhuang, a trace of self-blame flashed in Dafu's eyes.

Meng Ruoqing wanted to make things difficult, but looking at Dafu's appearance, Meng Ruoqing had the illusion of punching cotton. She settled down and stopped looking at Dafu. She only held Mujin's hand and said, "Now You are back, I must make up for you well, just like before, make you fat for nothing."

"Yes, Mu Jin thanked Madam." Mu Jin looked at Meng Ruoqing dumbfounded. She stayed by Meng Ruoqing's side for a long time, so she didn't know that Meng Ruoqing was playing a petty temper. , Hibiscus is very happy."

"En." After saying this, Meng Ruoqing was in a better mood. She looked at Dafu proudly, and then took Mu Jin's hand and went back to the backyard. She had to ask about the two of them.

"How did you and Dafu get along?" Meng Ruoqing was always straightforward and never beat around the bush when speaking, so Mu Jin was a little caught off guard, but fortunately she adapted very well and recovered quickly.

"Mrs. Hui, when we received your letter, we were ready to come back, but as soon as we left the city gate, we encountered bandits. Dafu and I were hunted down and trapped in the mountains. At that time, I was terrified. Dafu and I Say, don’t be afraid, I’m here, at that time, his eyes were shining like stars in the dark night, and I thought at that time, if I could spend the rest of my life with him, it would be worth it.” Mu Jin recalled the situation that day, still a little disturbed.

"Bandits? What happened to you then?" Meng Ruoqing frowned. Although Tongguan is a border area, there are military camps stationed there, and it is an important military location. How could there be bandits there?

"Later, those people couldn't find us, so they dispersed. Dafu and I quietly went back to the city at dawn. After recovering from our injuries, we returned with the caravan." This happened, so Mu Jin quickly finished speaking.

"I see. It's good that people from Zhu Wenyuan can take care of you over there. You can stay at home this year. I'll find a day in a few days to settle your marriage." Meng Ruoqing nodded, but her brows remained silent. Let go, she always felt that this matter would not be so simple.

"En." Mu Jin nodded with a blushing face, probably because she was shy, she didn't notice Meng Ruoqing's change, and Meng Ruoqing didn't tell her clearly, so she told her to take a good rest and went out.

She wanted to go to Wei Mingxuan and ask what was going on over there. This banditry came too suddenly.

Wei Mingxuan was talking with Ji Ruoxuan outside, when he saw Meng Ruoqing coming, he laughed and said, "Why did you come out so soon, have you finished talking?"

"Well, Wei Mingxuan, are there bandits in Tongguan?" Meng Ruoqing asked perfunctorily.

"Tongguan has a complex terrain, so it's not surprising that there are bandits. It's just that it's an important military area. Once a bandit is found, it will be suppressed immediately. If that person has a brain, he won't do evil in Tongguan. What's wrong?" Wei Mingxuan was stunned. After a while, explained to Meng Ruoqing.

"That's weird. Mu Jin said that she was robbed by bandits right after she left the city gate. Isn't this bandit too rampant? I'm afraid the soldiers in Tongguan don't know that there are bandits there?" Hearing what Wei Mingxuan said , Meng Ruoqing was even more incomprehensible.

"If it wasn't for that person's lack of brains, I'm afraid someone did it on purpose." Ji Ruoxuan was also taken aback by Meng Ruoqing's words. It is really rare for a bandit to dare to do evil under the watchful eyes of the guards.

"Do it on purpose? It can't be someone from the capital, right? If it's not from the capital." Then it's a barbarian!

Meng Ruoqing was taken aback by her own thoughts, she raised her head to look at Wei Mingxuan, but saw that the latter's expression was also grim, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Could it be that the war is about to start again within a few months of stabilization?

"Don't make wild guesses. If the capital gets news, they will definitely take action. As a soldier in Tongguan, some things are unavoidable." Ji Ruoxuan was able to accept these sudden changes, and he patted Meng Ruoqing's shoulder comforted.
