With that said, Jin Xiaolou concentrated and listened without saying a word.
The constable quickly replied: "I heard it was stolen by a wet nurse."
"Do you know that the wet nurse and I are from the same village!?" The middle-aged man took a sip of his tea, "The previous wet nurse said that she had better work to do than to do. She just took over this job a few days ago, I didn't expect something like this to happen today …"
Jin Xiaolou suddenly stood up, and ran over in a few steps, she cupped her hands at the middle aged man and asked: "Uncle, do you know where that wet nurse lives?"
The middle-aged man then nodded his head, "Of course. That wet nurse is surnamed Bai, and she lives in Shengze Village, on the outskirts of Xin Ning County. She doesn't go that far from the village entrance, and there's an old peach tree in her yard."
The fragrant spring noodles that had just been served up, made Jin Xiaolou unable to bear to let her hungry self run after him, so she asked him, "I'm going out for a while, just obediently wait for me here to eat the noodles, okay?"
Gao Lang put down his chopsticks, pushed his bowl forward: "No, wherever my wife goes, I want to follow her!"
As he said that, he twisted Jin Xiaolou's hand and refused to let go.
Jin Xiaolou sighed, but her heart was warm.
This Gao Lang was really his lucky star. If not for him causing his stomach to feel hungry, why would he come to this wine house? If he did not come, wouldn't he have missed out on news about the Lin'er?
did not believe in fate at first, but at this moment, he was certain in his heart that Gao Lang, the Silly Young Master, was able to bring her good fortune.
How would Jin Xiaolou know? She thought it was just a coincidence, but was the result of someone else's meticulous planning.
"Take two bites, eat two mouthfuls, then we'll leave." Jin Xiaolou looked at the sky and pushed Gao Lang back to the table.
When Jin Xiaolou and Gao Lang arrived at the entrance of Shengze Village, it was almost dark. The two of them had only walked a few steps into the village when they saw a small courtyard.
The peach leaves were suffused with a greenish yellow color. The wind blew them away, scattering them in all directions.
The window of the mud hut was covered with a veil. At this moment, the room was lit up by a light. Under the dim light of the fire, the figure of a woman carrying a child could be faintly seen by the window.
Jin Xiaolou's heart rose to her throat and she flew to the front of the courtyard. Just as she was about to flip through to see what was going on, she thought for a moment, then shouted at the top of her lungs: "Excuse me, is there anyone here?"
In the next moment, the wooden door opened, and a lady wearing a brown jacket walked out. She looked at Jin Xiaolou, then looked at Gao Lang, and asked with a face full of suspicion: "Who are you looking for?"
Jin Xiaolou wanted to look inside the house through the shadow of the woman, but the woman had broad shoulders and a round waist, covering up the door tightly.
"Aunt, are you surnamed Bai?" Jin Xiaolou asked.
"That's right, I'm surnamed Bai, who are you? Do I know you? "
Aunt Bai crossed her waist, feeling a little impatient.
Jin Xiaolou took a step forward, and hurriedly said: "Then do you have a baby that was carried away with the Palace's embroidery mother?"
Jin Xiaolou thought that she would lie or deny it, but Aunt Bai nodded her head and immediately admitted it: "That's right, I was indeed the one who brought the child back. She is currently in the house.
Hearing that, Jin Xiaolou's eyes became hot, and she immediately jumped into the courtyard: "I am the child's mother, quickly return Lin'er to me, I will give you anything you want!"
Aunt Bai stood in front of the door, staring at Jin Xiaolou, she rubbed her hands together: "What are you saying, why do you think I brought the child back? I don't want anything as long as the child is well! "
Jin Xiaolou was startled. "You … You aren't doing it for money? "
"Of course not." "I see that Golden Fragrance doesn't seem like a relative of a child. Two days ago, she was together with a girl called Xiaotao, muttering to herself. I don't know what she was talking about, but I feel like she was planning something bad for the child."
"I'm afraid they took the child! "Tell me, how can a good child be manipulated by them?" Aunt Bai's face was full of hatred and envy, "I couldn't bear to watch this, so I brought the child back. I thought that I would definitely find his parents and send him back."
Jin Xiaolou's chest was in a mess. She felt both grateful and fortunate: "Is Lin'er doing well?"
The Aunt Bai laughed amiably: "Don't worry, I'll take you with me. After drinking your milk, you will be sleeping soundly under the blanket right now! "He's like a fat little pig, snoring. It's so pitiful!"
"Thank you so much." Jin Xiaolou expressed her thanks from the bottom of her heart, "It's getting late, leave Lin'er to me, I will remember your kindness, if there's anything I, Jin Xiaolou, can do, come and find me!"
"Why should I leave it to you?" Aunt Bai frowned, a look of puzzlement on her face.
Jin Xiaolou also frowned, "Didn't you say that you brought the child out so that you could return it to your parents? I am the mother of Lin'er! "
"You said that you're his mother, but you're his mother?" Aunt Bai crossed her arms in front of her chest as she examined the person in front of her, "How do I know if you are real or fake?
Proof? Jin Xiaolou was suddenly in a difficult position. This ancient era didn't have any DNA technology, so a blood test was also unreliable. How could she prove it?
Seeing Jin Xiaolou's difficult expression, Aunt Bai rolled her eyes and continued to ask: "Since you say you're the child's mother, then what about the child's father? "Let him come with you. I'll take a look at his appearance and ponder if he's real or fake."
This made Jin Xiaolou even more worried, she didn't even know who Lin'er's father was.
Where could he go to find a father for the Lin'er?
The perch returned late into the night, and the mountains turned from light green to deep brown. Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Jin Xiaolou felt a burning anxiety in her heart.
The goods she had unloaded early in the morning were still piled on the empty ground in the backyard of the thatched cottage. There was a lot of rain in the autumn, so whenever it rained, it would rain. Even if it didn't rain, the beef wouldn't last for more than a few days.
She had used all her money to get it back. She could not afford to let all of it go to waste.
When she retracted her gaze, Jin Xiaolou saw Gao Lang waiting outside the fence.
Gao Lang was wearing a snow-grey silk robe with the design of the cloud bat and the golden deer pattern on it. Leaning on the frost fog, under the light of the setting sun that blotted out the sky, he did not look foolish at all.
"Him!" Jin Xiaolou had an idea, "He is Lin'er's father."
Right now, he could only rely on him to fill up the numbers.
As he spoke, he pulled Gao Lang in.
"Him?" Aunt Bai looked at Gao Lang with suspicion.
Jin Xiaolou poked Gao Lang's waist: What did you call me?
Gao Lang immediately called out affectionately, "My wife."
"Here, my husband." Jin Xiaolou spread out her hands, "That person is naturally Lin'er's father."
"You're husband and wife?" Aunt Bai became even more suspicious, "Why don't I look like one?"
The Aunt Bai said as she took two steps towards the courtyard.
The moment she moved, the room's door was immediately opened wide in front of Jin Xiaolou. Inside the room, a warm light could be seen and on top of a long bed, there was a thick satin blanket.
Jin Xiaolou's eyes were instantly attracted to that small ball of light. Lin'er! After not seeing Lin'er for a long time, he had grown up a lot.
At first, it was only as small as a kitten, but now it really was like a little pig. It was round and looked quite good.
It was just that from such a distance, Jin Xiaolou wanted to see it more clearly …
"How about this!" Aunt Bai thought about it, and seemingly made a difficult decision, "Since you two are husband and wife, then let me see you one by one."
Jin Xiaolou immediately retracted her gaze, and opened her eyes wide: "Kin? Kiss one? "
Aunt Bai had been single for a long time, so she must have a private, bad taste in it … Who would want to be kissed by someone …
"Why? Are you unwilling?" Aunt Bai turned and prepared to enter the house.
"Hey, wait!" Jin Xiaolou hurriedly stopped her, "I'm willing! We're husband and wife, what's there to be unwilling about that? "
With that, Jin Xiaolou took a deep breath, and with lightning speed, she grabbed Gao Lang, tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek.
I've even kissed my roommate's puppy, and when I was studying abroad, I had to kiss her on the cheek. I'm a modern woman in the 21st century, and I'm afraid of being kissed by a man. How ridiculous!
Jin Xiaolou's lips lightly touched Gao Lang's face, but she did not even notice if Gao Lang was ice or hot. She immediately parted.
"Aiyo, little girl, how is this a kiss? You didn't even have any feelings for him. At most, it can be considered as your mouth touching his face." Aunt Bai threw up her hands, "This does not count. I suspect even more that you two are not husband and wife."
As soon as Aunt Bai finished speaking, before Jin Xiaolou could even react, she stretched out his hands and wrapped them around her waist, lowering her head slightly. Jin Xiaolou only felt a light breath on her face, then immediately after, a soft and warm lips appeared above her mouth …
