That night, the Xiaowan made a wish with her Jade Ring. She wanted to ask the heavens what the two guests were like, but in the end she fell asleep and woke up with a blank mind. She could not remember if the heavens had told her or not.

Therefore, he thought to himself, although Jade Ring were intelligent, they could not be used to do unreliable things.

Oh right, there was one more thing that Ling Chaofeng had said they had met before, it was at the riverside outside the Qingling Village. But no matter what, the Xiaowan couldn't remember it.

Today, during the day, Lord Tang and Ling Chaofeng still brought the two of them out for a walk. Xiaowan did not follow them, and when they returned in the evening, the Madam actually gave them a present. The female servants chatted and laughed together, but no deep hatred could be seen.

On the morning of the third day, Lord Tang and his friends were about to leave. Xiaowan did not send them off, but instead followed Ling Chaofeng to the edge of the wharf.

Xiaowan and Ershan watched as Uncle Biao wandered to the front of the tavern from time to time. He even clenched his fists, a tall and big man covered in an uneasy aura.

"Ershan, is the Lord Tang a big official?" Xiaowan could not help but ask Ershan out of curiosity.

"Lord Tang is a first rank official." Ershan explained, "Other than the royalty, the strongest official in the imperial court."

The Xiaowan was even more curious, "Such a big official, why is he in contact with us? Furthermore, when we were outside, they did not even bring a follower. Lord Sun had followed a large group of imperial guards and maids on this trip. "

Ershan laughed: "Why don't you ask the shopkeeper? Actually, I don't know much, and I don't want to talk about what I know."

The Xiaowan sighed and said, "You guys know everything. Only I don't know anything."

When Uncle Biao entered the room, he heard these words and comforted her, "A muddleheaded person has luck. Evening, people know everything in their life. If you live, you'll be tired."

Uncle Biao immediately ran out, and Xiaowan and Ershan followed. Seeing that it was their own carriage, Ershan went forward to lead it.

When the wheels stopped, Aunt Zhang revealed her head and ran to the front of the carriage to carry her.

When Aunt Zhang saw the man looking at her so emotionally, as if he was afraid that she would leave and not return, his eyes became hot as he scolded, "Idiot, why aren't you letting go?"

Ershan laughed from the side: "Uncle, carry my wife in. We'll cover our eyes."

Aunt Zhang opened her eyes wide and rolled up her sleeves: "Brat, your skin is itchy isn't it?"

They were playing around when Ling Chaofeng walked over to say to his wife: "Late at night, go back to your room, I have something to tell you."

Xiaowan originally thought that no one would explain the relationship between Lord Tang and the inn to her, but unexpectedly, her husband still told her.

Unlike the Lord Sun he met when he was in a daze, this Lord Tang of the first rank had been fated to be an inn since the previous generation. Back in the generation of the Xiaowan's father and mother-in-law, the Lord Tang relied on the inn to connect to the martial arts world. In the generation of the Xiaowan's father and mother-in-law, the Lord Tang relied on the inn to connect to the martial arts world.

In truth, Ershan and the Aunt Zhang were also not clear about this. Ling Chaofeng then said to the Xiaowan: "Go to the town and meet Susu and the others, don't just mention that the shop has entertained any guests. This is a form of respect to customers, it is also the rule of the inn."

Xiaowan nodded her head again and again. She promised her husband that she wouldn't casually mention the inn to anyone else.

Now that she had heard the story, her heart was at ease. She was not stupid. If she thought about it, a person who could cause even a top official to be so respectful, could it be a prince or an emperor? Of course, she didn't dare to believe that the one who came was the empress. How could the empress of the emperor run out of the palace so easily?

Not to mention that after the Heavy Sun Festival, after a few autumn rains, the weather had turned cold. The Ling Xiao Inn was originally located in the wilderness, and under the autumn colors, the scenery was even more desolate.

Seeing the trees behind the front gate wilting and turning into a grey field, with the strong wind blowing the dried leaves into the air, even Xiaowan herself felt that if she were to meet such a shop outside, she would not have the guts to knock on the door and live there.

On this day, there was no business in the shop, Xiaowan followed Ling Chaofeng to read the [Thousand Character Classic], the cool autumn wind blew in, bringing with it a burst of fragrance. Before long, a beautiful young lady appeared in front of the door, and said joyously, "Xiaowan, I've come to see you."

The one who came was Susu, she was no longer that frail and pitiful looking person she was before. Her clothes were clean and clean, her hair tied into a bun, and a jade hairpin. She moved to the side and smiled, "Our young mistress is here as well."

Yue Huaiyin leisurely walked over. The sky had turned cold, and her silk dress had become green and tender, a color that didn't match with the season and was exceptionally eye-catching. But on her body, it just so happened that it was just right.

The beautiful lady came over and started to smell the fragrance step by step. Xiaowan asked: "Miss Yue, what type of powder did you use? Why do you smell so nice?"

Huai Yin replied: "My newest powder, when you say it tastes good, I'll be relieved. If you want to go out with Susu for a few days, you should go to the dock to wait for the boat.

Susu put down her backpack and took out an exquisite box to place on the table. Xiaowan touched it and laughed: I do not need powder.

Ling Chaofeng said from the side: "Miss Yue, all of you chat slowly."

The man seemed to be unwilling to participate in the women's gossip and directly went upstairs. Yue Huaiyin's gaze followed his retreating back, but since this was someone else's house, she didn't dare look too closely at it.

Even if Xiaowan saw him, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he said, "Miss Yue, do you want me to show you our inn?"

Huaiyin tactfully declined, "It's not good to be in a hurry to reach the dock and miss the boat."

Glancing at the table, he saw that there was a book on the table, and on it was written, "One must not forget to change what one knows." "Talk is short, talk is long …" It was' Thousand Words'. It was a child's book.

She asked, "Who's studying?"

Xiaowan blushed as she laughed, "That's me, I learned how to read from my husband."

Yue Huaiyin laughed: "Ling Xiao Inn, is indeed a unique place."

Not long after, she brought Susu to the pier. On the way, Yue Huaiyin asked Susu: "Do you recognize words?"

Susu replied: "I know a bit, when I was young, I also memorized the《 Thousand Character Classic》 that Xiaowan recited with big brother."

Yue Huaiyin smiled, although she did not say anything, she thought in his heart, no way, that's a book meant for children. Mu Xiaowan had only started learning at such a young age, she has no strong points, other than her pretty face, what else does she have?

However, when he thought of this, he recalled the words "to talk about other things while being short" in the book. He had learned the teachings when he was young, but now he had completely forgotten them because of jealousy and envy.

She asked Susu: "Now that you have freedom, if you meet someone you love, you should tell me earlier, I will give you your dowry."

Susu shook her hands: "Miss, I'm not clean, how can I marry again? "No one will want it. I don't know if I'll meet another bad man if I marry him again. I'm very satisfied with the money I earned from working with my mother in the shop."

"Why is it not clean?" Yue Huaiyin's usual gentle expression immediately became serious, carrying a sharp aura, as though she was especially angry, and repeated, "How can it not be clean? It's just that you can't control yourself in the past, even the ladies of the brothel can't.

Susu was shocked, and did not dare to make a sound. Huai Yin also realized that she had lost her composure and hurriedly calmed her emotions, and turned her head to not say anything more.

They didn't return until the end of September.

They passed through the Ling Xiao Inn again, but Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan were not home. The Aunt Zhang said that they would go to another town to visit a market and would not be able to come back until nightfall.

Yue Huaiyin smiled and replied politely, only then did she understand, Ling Chaofeng really knew how to love people, Mu Xiaowan had such good fortune.

In the blink of an eye, the Xiaowan had been married for more than two months.

In the past, it was always Xiaowan cutting firewood, but now, one person was missing to help, so Master Mu couldn't busy himself with it. The two kids were still young, so they could only do it himself, Madam Xu. Every day, he would be tired to the point of cursing his father and cursing his mother, resenting the fact that he had no future at Master Mu. Otherwise, he would be able to spend a few coins to ask for someone's help.

On the same day, she came down from the mountain with firewood, and met the Aunt Wang next door. The two of them walked home, and the Aunt Wang said that they heard from the people on the streets that Ling Xiao Inn had bought the most expensive charcoal in the town. They also ordered a new charcoal stove, and the workers that followed said that it was placed inside a bridal chamber.

"Your Xiaowan is going to have a good winter. It should be very warm in the house." Aunt Wang tsk-tsked, "Just how rich is Ling Xiao Inn? Even the county magistrate doesn't have the guts to do so. I heard that the charcoal in the town isn't enough and they even shipped it over here from other places. The porters at the pier loaded several carriages with it."

Madam Xu threw the firewood on her shoulder onto the ground and spat: "I really am f * cking blind with my heart, if I knew earlier that she would live a good life in exchange for a hundred silver taels, even if you gave me a thousand silver taels, I wouldn't have agreed. Why would I agree?

Aunt Wang laughed: "Don't be in such a rush, didn't you already give her two silver ingots? She is the only one who is enjoying life and still has a long life ahead of her."

"After that, there wasn't even a shadow of a ghost." Madam Xu carried the firewood on her back with effort and panted as she said, "If you say you want to come back and visit us again, I think she wouldn't have come back if not for giving her the grave and waiting for her father's death."

The Aunt Wang said: "She won't come. You guys just go, take the children to see her, it's almost winter, remember your daughter, send some things over to greet her, what's wrong with that?"

Madam Xu rolled her eyes, "Will it work, will Ling Chaofeng beat me out?"

The Aunt Wang said: "In my opinion, Ling Chaofeng is not as scary as what the rumors say. Also, if you don't try, how would you know? It's fine if you have the money, but who cares. "

When the sun had set, Ling Chaofeng drove Xiaowan through the market and returned. After passing by the Baisha Town s, the sun had just set, there were tens of thousands of lights on the streets, and smoke was rising in spirals, the carriage had passed through the town gate and it was very lively outside. The Constable Li saw them and said: "You're here, take this notice back and paste it in front of your door."

"What's the matter?" Ling Chaofeng jumped down from the carriage and received the notice.

"Our new Queen has chosen the sister of the Great General of the Chuanyu. It's said that this result is unexpected." The Constable Li laughed, "The New Year's wedding is the same day as the new Emperor's inauguration. The capital is going to be bustling with noise and excitement this year. "Now, the county magistrate is worried about how to present himself to the capital. A sesame seed official like him won't be able to get anything out of this. But if he doesn't give it away, he's not at ease."

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "Master, if you need anything, please instruct me. Brother Li, please pass a message for me."

The Constable Li thanked them and said that it was getting late, he told them to hurry over, and then separated from each other.

"Husband, isn't the empress's wedding especially grand?" The Xiaowan asked curiously.

"Brides are never tied up." Ling Chaofeng laughed, "He can't run either."

Xiaowan pouted: "Seriously, you actually harmed me with that. You're still joking around."

Ling Chaofeng hurriedly apologized: "I am not, don't be angry. The empress's grand marriage is naturally grand and grand. When the time comes, the world will be pardoned and delicious food may even be distributed among them. "

The Xiaowan chuckled and leaned on her husband's shoulder, "I really want to see what the Empress looks like. She must be extremely beautiful.

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "Let's take care of the inn's matters. The Tian Family's matters are too far away."

Xiaowan said, "Of course not, our little days are good. I will be satisfied if I stay with you everyday."

When Ling Chaofeng let Xiaowan sit in the carriage, she refused and insisted on squeezed together with his husband. Ling Chaofeng, on the other hand, asked: "It's cold, do you want to go to your house?"

Xiaowan shook her head: "They don't need anything. When I'm at home, I'm the only one who gets frozen. They aren't cold, so you don't need to worry."
