Chapter 43

After returning from the palace yesterday, Yan Jing administered medicine to Xuanyuan Mutian, and finally believed that her elder brother Jing was not as elegant as he appeared on the surface. The area was bruised, and Yan Jing secretly wiped tears from her heart when she saw it!Therefore, he was ridiculed by him for not seeing the world, saying that it is common for men to break arms and legs in fights, and there is no need to make a fuss about such minor injuries!It really made Yan Jing feel distressed and helpless...

After seeing Ouyang Jing, forget it, but there is something on his mind.But there is another thing that must be done before leaving the Southland! ——To worship at the grave of parents!

Therefore, in the early morning of this morning, the two of them went out with the offerings.

Yan Jing's previous home was in a remote town outside the imperial capital, not too close to the imperial city.And because the road was rough and it was difficult for a carriage, the two had no choice but to ride a horse together!

In front of the tomb, after carefully pulling out the overgrown weeds on the grave, the two began to place sacrifices and light the ghost coins.

"Father and mother, my daughter is not filial until now to see you!"

"Take a good look at Jing'er, Jing'er has become more beautiful when she grows up!"

Yan Jing was a little choked up. In ten years, this was the first time she came to pay homage to her parents. It wasn't that she didn't want to come before, but because she was dependent on others in the palace, she couldn't help herself in many things.

"Mother, my daughter is married. His name is Xuanyuan Mutian, and he treats Jing'er very well!"

"Father, help your daughter to see if he is a good man!"

"Father...mother..." Xuanyuan Mutian yelled bluntly, with an awkward expression on his face. It was the first time he called the word 'father and mother', and he used to call him father, queen and mother.

"I am the man who married your precious daughter, Xuanyuan Mutian, from the Ming Dynasty. Although I am not as good-looking as Ouyang Jing, I can assure you that I will love Jinger forever!"

Xuanyuan Mutian is actually quite stubborn, especially when dealing with feelings, he believes that it is a lifetime!Whoever meets such a man is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes!
"I won't let her suffer a little bit, I will definitely make her happy every day... Raise her to be white and fat, and then bring it to you... (omit the word N)!"

"If I didn't do it or didn't do it well enough, the two of you would come to my dream in the middle of the night to beat me and scold me casually! Don't worry, I won't hide and I won't fight back, but no matter how angry you are, please don't kill me , because I still have to keep quiet about being Jing'er's husband, otherwise she must be very sad when she becomes a widow!..."

Xuanyuan Mutian was still talking, with the momentum of eloquence, Yan Jing began to wipe away her tears without shedding tears, how could this man be so eloquent all of a sudden!And what nonsense did they say!

"Okay, parents and they all know!" Yan Jing felt that it was necessary to stop him from continuing!
"Father and mother, we don't know when we will come back to see you after we leave this time!"

After all, the Southern Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom are too far away, and the next time I come back may be a few years later, or it may be indefinitely!
"I will try my best to bring Jing'er back to see you once a year!" Xuanyuan Mutian suddenly made a promise. He didn't know whether he said it to Yan Jing or the deceased old man, but he said it anyway.

Yan Jing, who had already calmed down, started to have red eyes again. This man was so afraid of the heat and yet he took the initiative to make such a promise!

But then, Xuanyuan Mutian added another sentence, which instantly reduced her emotion a lot, and the swirling tears also flowed back, he said

"Except for summer, any time is fine. Jing'er is afraid of the cold and I just hate the heat in the south, so it's likely to come in spring!"

Yan Jing was speechless!But I am very happy to think that I can come back once a year.

The weather in the southern country is not only hot, but also unpredictable and rainy. Generally, there will be a downpour after two days of sunshine!But the rain comes and goes quickly!

No, it was fine yesterday, and there was no sign of a change in the sky in the morning, but now suddenly the sky is dark and the sky is covered with dark clouds, and a downpour is inevitable.

"Let's go! It's going to change."

"Ok!"

The two of them just got up, and within a few steps, the big raindrops began to slap down. They only had a parasol in their hands. Although the raindrops were heavy now, they were very sparse, and they could barely cover them.

In an instant, there was a strong wind, and the umbrella was disintegrated in an instant!The two were directly exposed to the raging wind and rain, Xuanyuan Mutian hugged Yan Jing's slender waist tightly with one hand, pressed her small face into his chest with the other, and walked against the wind with her whole body firmly protected in his arms.In less than a moment, lightning and lightning struck, and heavy rain poured down.Xuanyuan Mutian obviously felt the delicate body in his arms tremble slightly, and he patted her gently and comfortingly,
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"En!" The voice was muffled, Yan Jing buried her face in his arms and dared not come out.She is not afraid of thunder, but she is afraid of the moment when lightning flashes across the sky, she is very afraid!It was a very bright white or lavender light, very beautiful, but it always made her feel inexplicable fear!
"Can you tell me about your childhood? Were you so cute back then!" Xuanyuan Mutian tried to divert the woman's attention.

"What happened when I was a child! I have forgotten a lot of things. I just remember that I like to eat the meals and cakes made by my mother! My father often went to the mountains to hunt. He was very good. He hunted a lot every time. He even caught a lively little rabbit once. I raised it for me, but it didn’t eat anything, I thought it might also miss its relatives, so I let it go..." Yan Jing seemed to be trapped in the happiness and sweetness of the past, and gradually forgot the horror of thunder and lightning!And Xuanyuan Mutian took her to go back quickly at this moment, remembering that when he came, he saw a small house, not too far from here, it seems that he can only go there for a while to avoid!

This is a small temple that has been abandoned for a long time, as can be seen from the vertical and horizontal spider webs and the dilapidated and incomplete images of gods on the wall.

"Wait here, I'll go look inside!"

"I want to go with you." The little hand tightly held on to him, she didn't want to stay here alone, this place looked very weird, and the weather made it even more eerie!
"Okay, don't be afraid, let's go in together!"

Seeing her flustered face and the fear in her eyes, Xuanyuan Mutian stroked her small head gently and lovingly with his big hand.Lead her to go inside.

"what……!"

Yan Jing suddenly yelled, got into the arms of the man next to him and hugged him tightly, her body was still trembling.

"Hey, don't be afraid!"

While comforting the woman and giving her a sense of security, he looked at the 'corpse' lying motionless on the ground.

"Don't be afraid, he's just a beggar, he's still alive!"

Women are actually timid creatures, Yan Jing refused to come out and take another look!
"Hey, you two are so noisy!" The 'corpse' on the ground suddenly opened his eyes and yelled at the two of them, "It's really unlucky, I didn't expect to sleep peacefully in such a crappy place!"

The beggar grumbled and complained, and was quite angry when he got up, staring at the two of them for a while before sitting up reluctantly.

Hearing someone talking, Yan Jing slowly turned her head away from the man's chest, carefully revealing only those big bright eyes, her small hands still tightly clutching his clothes.Only slightly loosen it when it is confirmed that there is no threat!
The beggar was obviously very interested in these two well-dressed people.He looked at them with a smile, not knowing what he was planning!After a while, I finally spoke,
"Hey, you two! Come and sit down!"

Yan Jing was still a little scared, but because Xuanyuan Mutian was beside her and gave her enough sense of security, she sat on the ground without saying anything.

The beggar has white hair and is estimated to be in his 60s. His body is thin, but his spirit looks good. I don’t know if it’s because he was sleeping on the ground just now. There is a lot of mud on his face and body. It looks dirty.Yan Jing suddenly felt compassion for him.It's pitiful for this old man to come out to beg at such an advanced age!

"Looking at the way you two are dressed, you must not be ordinary people! Why did you come to this corner?!"

"We came to honor our loved ones, and we didn't expect to encounter heavy rain!"

The old beggar looked inscrutably at Yan Jing who answered him, and suddenly put on a pitiful look and said, "Do you have any money? I haven't eaten for three days!"

Although she knew that he did it on purpose, Yan Jing still couldn't bear it, so she looked at Xuanyuan Mutian, who was staring at the old man opposite with a pensive expression.

"Do you have any money with you? Give him some!"

Yan Jing never carried money with her. On the one hand, she didn't have it, and on the other hand, she didn't need it. The man around her would take care of everything, so she didn't have to worry about it.

Xuanyuan Mutian took out a 100 tael silver note from his bosom, and handed it to the old beggar. He didn't want him to refuse it, not because he thought it was too little but, "I have been begging for more than 20 years, and I have only accepted silver and copper coins!"

He's a beggar, it's not bad if someone gives it to him, but he still hates it!
"Why?" Wouldn't it be easier to carry a silver ticket with you?why not? !
"Hmph, you rich people just look down on us being beggars, and even teased me boringly. Once, a wealthy son gave me such a bank note. It was the first time I received such a bank note." How much money, it’s a beauty in my heart, I can finally buy my favorite roast chicken, and guess what happened?”

"What's the matter? Did something happen?" Yan Jing's curiosity was aroused by the words.A pair of bright big eyes looked at the old man eagerly.

"That banknote..." the old man shook his head and sighed for a long while before continuing, "So that banknote is fake! I was also typed out by the boss because of this, saying that if you don't have money, don't dream of eating meat, and get a fake money to deceive you." Whoever said such vicious words. In fact, it’s okay to humiliate me. I’m used to being humiliated anyway, but why did he let the dog bite me? I still remember the big black dog chasing me while barking. It looked so scary How vicious! I would be woken up from my dreams, so since then, I have never dared to accept money from other people! Wuwuwu... I am miserable..."

After the old beggar finished speaking, he started to cry, Yan Jing was at a loss, and hurriedly asked Xuanyuan Mutian if he had any silver.

And he felt that the old man was very weird, definitely not as simple as a beggar!But he also believed that this person was not malicious!This can be seen from his eyes, there is no murderous look, and no calculations, it makes him feel more like an old urchin!
At Yan Jing's insistence, he took out all the money on his body, and after looking through it for a long time, he found a few copper coins, which were the change from the boss when he and Jing'er bought Ming coins in the morning!
"We only have three pennies here besides the bank note! Why don't you take the bank note, I can swear it's not fake!"

The old man snatched the few copper coins and stuffed them into the rags on his body. Then he pouted his beard and tilted his head back and said with backbone,
"Forget it, let's just pay three pennies! In short, I won't accept bank notes. This is a matter of principle! But the three pennies are indeed a bit small, and you can't buy anything. How about this? You let that Man, take off your clothes for me!"

"Ah? This..." Ask Xuanyuan Mutian to take off his clothes, what will he wear then? !

"I know that you rich people are stingy, and you can't even give them a set of clothes. Hey! I'll continue to wear this set of rags. It's cold in winter and hot in summer. My old life won't last for a few years. ! What a cruel world!"

"Why don't you come back with us when the rain stops, I'll have someone make new clothes for you, how about giving you back the money?"

Yan Jing thought this might be a good idea!But the old man was suddenly very angry,
"It's fine if you don't give it, but you still want to lie to me to go home and be ordered by your current people? I'm not that stupid!"

"I, I didn't mean that..." I couldn't argue with it.This old man must have suffered a lot, so he is so insecure and doesn't trust others!
Xuanyuan Mutian took off his coat without saying anything, and threw it to the old beggar.This old man is obviously deliberately making things difficult for others, how can he look like a beggar? !
The old man picked up the clothes and rubbed them with his muddy hands, with a satisfied expression on his face, he kept muttering, "It's really a rich man, even the clothes feel so comfortable!"

"Mu Tian, ​​then what are you wearing?" Now only the thin obscene clothes are left on his body.

"It's okay, it's just cool like this!"

"Thank you! I know you gave him the clothes just to make me feel better!"

"Then how are you going to thank me? I don't want to just listen to those three useless words!" "Thank you" is just three words, which can be said by touching the upper and lower lips.This kind of thank you is so insincere!

"Three words that are useless? It turns out that you don't want to hear the words 'I love you' at all, so I won't say them again!"

Yan Jing deliberately misinterpreted his meaning.I used to always ask him 'what do you want, what do you want? ’, but every time he was not squeezed dry, he also laughed at him, ‘Don’t ask men like this, because they will immediately think of many ways to torture you’ and so on.So this time she behaved well!
"Hey, you two are so disgusting!" The old man was upset, why?Bullying him for not having a wife? !What kind of affection is shown in front of him!Goosebumps are falling down, men and women nowadays are really more and more shameless!
Whoever cares about so many men and women in love, the more grotesque, the happier they feel!

But the two didn't continue to make out, after all, the old man still needs to respect.

"Well, it's quite obedient!" The old beggar nodded, feeling happy that what he said was effective, and he felt a sense of accomplishment. No one listened to him for a long time.

"It's fate for everyone to get together. You gave me the clothes again, and the most important thing is that this little lady has a good heart, and I like it."

The two were at a loss, what exactly did he want to say? !The old man stood up unhurriedly, smiled, and said, "I'll give you a word in return!"

"There is Aunt Zhao in the western suburbs of the capital. Her fate is peculiar. With her to protect her, she will not dare to get close to any sickness and monsters. It is especially useful for newborn children! She will protect her until the full moon!"

The old man walked out while talking, and left with a big smile after speaking.The rain outside had stopped at some point.

"What a strange person!" Yan Jing frowned, not understanding him.

Xuanyuan Mutian finally knew what was wrong with that old man, it was his temperament, that kind of unrestrained and unrestrained, which is not what a beggar would have at all, he is more like an expert wandering around!
Yan Jing didn't pay much attention to those words, just thought he was just talking casually, while Xuanyuan Mutian kept a few words in his heart.

It's just that they don't know at the moment that it was the old beggar's few words that saved their precious son, Xuanyuan Yu!He is the biggest nobleman between the two!He is Xuanyuan Yu's destined nobleman!
