Chapter 111: Xiao Jinglin

Revised in the previous chapter
Although she was talking about life and death, Xiao Jinglin's tone was still indifferent: "...My first horse was raised by myself since I was a child. The name is Xueying, and it was also eaten. A war horse that is regarded as a comrade-in-arms. In this case, it is a camel. A camel can keep a good team of more than 20 people fighting for four or five days. Four or five days is enough to support the rescue."
Listening to Xiao Jinglin's words, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but become curious about her experience over the years. Xiao Jinglin was no more than two or three years older than her now, but when she talked about these things, she seemed calm and vicissitudes, with her immature and beautiful face. Very uncoordinated.
Xiao Jinglin noticed that Ren Yaoqi was looking at her seriously, and she couldn't help but pause: "Sorry, you may not like to hear what I said."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "How come? No one has ever told me about the battlefield. I find it very novel."
Xiao Jinglin shook her head seriously: "In ancient times, there have been several battles, and things on the battlefield have always been cruel."
Seeing Xiao Jinglin’s exquisite smiley face was a bit heavy, Ren Yaoqi smiled and turned to the subject: "Has the princess learned martial arts? Last time you threw the blessing bells at Bailong Temple. Every time I was a kid, When I went to the temple to offer incense, my mother would also ask me to throw a few coins, but I never got it."
Xiao Jinglin nodded when she heard the words: "Well, I started to learn riding and shooting and close kungfu from Uncle Yuchi when I was three years old."
"Three years old?" Ren Yaoqi was stunned. That was the age when he just learned to run and jump, right?
"It's bitter, right?"
"Bitter?" Xiao Jinglin's eyes were a little surprised, as if she had never thought about this problem, she subconsciously stretched out her right hand and looked down at her palm.
Ren Yaoqi also looked down at her palm, but found that her right hand, which should have been slender and soft, had more distinct joints than ordinary women, and thick calluses on the palms and fingers. Xiao Jinglin's hands were obviously better than those of ordinary women. Be rough.
Xiao Jinglin slowly squeezed the palms of her hands, then raised her head again, her eyes calm, but she shook her head: "It's not bitter."
Ren Yaoqi suddenly didn't know how to answer this sentence.
There was another moment of silence in the carriage, until Xiao Jinglin took the initiative to speak: "What about you, how did you live when you were young?"
Ren Yaoqi was silent for a while before he said: "Everyday writing and drawing~EbookFREE.me~ She is so silent not because she can't answer, but because she can't remember things from her childhood, but it should be nothing more. It's almost these things.
Xiao Jinglin thoughtfully after hearing this: "How come you are the same as Xiao Jingxi? No wonder you can talk."
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
"Well, there are also sewing and quarreling with my sister." Ren Yaoqi added with a smile.
Xiao Jinglin was taken aback, frowned and thought for a while: "He certainly doesn't know how to stitch and quarrel..." Xiao Jinglin shook her head.
"Are you at odds with your sister?" Xiao Jinglin asked.
This question made Ren Yaoqi think for a moment: "Maybe I am jealous that she is more favored than me in front of my mother."
Xiao Jinglin nodded naturally: "That's it. Xiao Jingxi is more favored by my elders than me, but I won't beat him for this reason."
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
At this time, Dong Sheng, who was driving outside, yelled, and the carriage stopped steadily. Xiao Jinglin opened the curtain of the car and took a look outside, and Ren Yaoqi's eyes were cast outside the carriage.
Here is still outside the city, and the horse-drawn carriage is driving on the mountain road, surrounded by gently rolling hills on both sides. But here should be a place where there is no shop in front of the village.
Ren Yaoqi thought that he hadn't asked them where they were going, and was about to ask, but Xiao Jinglin said quietly, "Isn't the carriage coming behind?"
Dongsheng's voice rang through the curtain: "Back to the princess, it has already been thrown away."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being stunned: "Someone is following us?"
Xiao Jinglin did not speak, and Ren Yaoqi suddenly seemed to have thought of something: "Is it from the Ren family?"
Just now they met Grandpa Ren when they went out. Grandpa Ren should have rushed back after hearing that the princess had come, but Xiao Jinglin refused his intention to let Ren family members be the guide. Grandpa Ren still sent Ren to follow?
Xiao Jinglin nodded: "Well, I have followed us since we left the house, but they didn't follow it quietly. I must be worried about your safety, so let people follow far behind."
Ren Yaoqi didn't think so. The Ren family must be thinking about how to continue Xiao Jinglin's climb to the Yanbei Palace, where there is no time to worry about her safety. But naturally she would not say such words to Xiao Jinglin.
On the contrary, Xiao Jinglin explained apologetically: "I don't like someone to follow, so I told the young man to get rid of it as long as someone follows."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and smiled: "I forgot to ask, where are we going?"
Xiao Jinglin looked even more puzzled than Ren Yaoqi: "Didn't you tell me? Go shopping on the street."
At this time, the carriage moved again, and Ren Yaoqi found that the carriage began to turn around.
Could it be that they ran so far out of the city to get rid of the blatant stalking of people sent by the Ren family? Ask people to go down and tell those people not to follow, isn't it faster? Ren Yaoqi felt that he still couldn't keep up with Xiao Jinglin's thinking.
So the carriage returned to the city again. Ren Yaoqi paid attention to the scenery outside the carriage, and found that it was not the same road with them when he left the city. Obviously Dongsheng was also very familiar with the terrain of Baihe Town.
At this time, it was almost noon, and many merchants who took official roads through Baihe Town began to flood into the town. Although Baihe Town is called a town, it is much larger than an ordinary town, and there are many shops on the main road in the town. Of course, all kinds of restaurants and guest shops occupy the most storefronts.
Xiao Jinglin's carriage was driving past the "Phoenix Tower" mentioned by the previous old lady. Xiao Jinglin took a glance and then retracted her gaze, obviously not interested in it.
"It's getting late, let's find a place to eat." Xiao Jinglin said to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi nodded. She had been in contact with the market after she left the Ren family in the previous life, but when she was at the Ren family, she would eat vegetarian food in the temple except when she went to the temple to offer incense. She had never used food outside.
There are many restaurants in Baihe Town, but they generally receive business travelers, but very few can be upscale. "Fengxianlou" is considered a better restaurant in Baihe Town.
The carriage slowly traversed an alley and left the main street of the town. Ren Yaoqi found that the surrounding scenery became familiar, because she had been here several times. This is an alley near Guan Gong Temple.
Xiao Jinglin said to Ren Yaoqi: "It's a bit narrower to walk inside. Take one or two maids, and the rest will let them wait in that teahouse."
The tea house that Xiao Jinglin was talking about was on the right side of the carriage, and it looked decent.
Ren Yaoqi did not object, and asked Dongsheng to call for Apple later, and asked the rest of the people to go to the teahouse to wait with Mulberry.
After a while, Apple was taken into the carriage, and the carriage continued on.
It didn't take long for the carriage to finally stop. Xiao Jinglin got out of the car first.
Apple stepped out of the carriage before serving as Yaoqi and turned around to help Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi found that they had entered a relatively narrow alley. The alley was very long, but they could only barely drive in a carriage. It was also Dongsheng's superb skills to get in smoothly.
When Ren Yaoqi got out of the carriage, he smelled a strong lo-flavor.
It turned out that in front of the carriage is a shop where you can buy braised donkey meat. This shop doesn’t look big. It doesn’t even have a formal plaque. It only uses a bamboo pole to prop up a curtain, which says that it’s neat and featureless. The three words of "donkey meat".
After getting out of the carriage, Xiao Jinglin went straight into this store, only to come in and remember that Ren Yaoqi was still behind, then turned around again, and waved to Ren Yaoqi: "Come in, this is the place."
Because it is not time to eat, the store is not very eye-catching, so there are no people around. Seeing Ren Yaoqi walking, Xiao Jinglin turned around and walked on her own, but walked a little slower.
After entering, Ren Yaoqi discovered that although this small shop is not big, it is very tidy and clean. The front facade has only four wooden tables, and there are some unnamed wild flowers in crock pots on the table. Weeds add a bit of fun.
The curtain in the room was lifted, and a woman in her forties came out and saw Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi come in and hurriedly smiled and came forward to greet her.
Xiao Jinglin said to her: "Place the table in the backyard."
The woman hurriedly answered, turned her head and called inwardly.
A woman in her twenties who was combing her head came out with a boy of seven or eight.
The woman confessed that the young woman went to the backyard to set up a table.
The boy saw Xiao Jinglin's eyes light up and immediately ran over: "General, you are here. When I went to pick flowers with my sister-in-law in the morning, I also picked fresh mushrooms. Later my mother will cook soup for you."
Ren Yaoqi gave Xiao Jinglin a surprised look. Did Xiao Jinglin know him?
The woman came over and patted him on the head, and whispered, "Hurry up and set the table with your sister-in-law? Don't scare the guests."
The boy saw Ren Yaoqi behind Xiao Jinglin. He did not recognize the birth and grinned at Ren Yaoqi.
Xiao Jinglin said to him: "Didn't I say that, I am not a general."
The boy stubbornly said: "You will be! When you become a general, I will follow you on the battlefield like my dad!"
The woman sank, and grabbed the boy by the ears and pulled him aside: "Mo Xiaoliang, have you finished practicing today's calligraphy? Is it possible that you have to learn your father's big characters and don't know one?"
Mo Xiaoliang grinned, trying to scream for pain, but when he saw Xiao Jinglin's life here again, he just muttered in a low voice, "What's the use of literacy? Didn't our signboard ask the fortune teller at the alley to write it? What do you want me to read! We don’t need ten or eight signs in our store."
The second time is going to be later, the time is uncertain, dear ones, see it tomorrow morning~^^
