Chapter 42: The Little Beggar (2 more)

A lamp like a bean, Xie Xiaowan snuggled in Xianggong's arms, still holding the handkerchief and hairpin in her hand.

"Xianggong, this handkerchief is so soft, isn't it expensive?" Xie Xiaowan raised her head and asked in a low voice, her little face still had a hint of guilt, she had misunderstood Xianggong.

Xu Jin was a little weak-hearted, and said with a dry smile: "It's not very expensive, it's only fifty yuan!" ”

It's not that Xu Jin deliberately deceived Xie Xiaowan, but he was worried that this little girl was thinking wildly, not to mention that this matter was related to the name of the three girls of the Fei family, so it was better not to say it.

Xie Xiaowan stuck out her tongue and said, "Fifty dollars is not expensive, people have to sell fifty bowls of noodles to earn it." ”

Xu Jin said: "Oh, it's too expensive, then the prime minister will take it back and return it tomorrow!" ”

Xie Xiaowan hurriedly clenched the handkerchief and hairpin, and said with a red face: "It's all dirty, you can't return it!" ”

This is the first time that Xianggong has given him an ornament, how can the little girl be willing to return it.

"Then wash it and then go back!" Xu Jin urged the narrow tunnel.

"Don't!"

Xu Jin lightly pinched Xie Xiaowan's slightly pursed lips and said with a smile: "Okay, Xianggong teased you, go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”

The two returned to the room, Xu Jin took off his coat and climbed onto the bed, and found Xie Xiaowan standing in front of the bed, looking scared, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter?" ”

"Xianggong, I'm ......!" Xie Xiaowan couldn't speak.

Xu Jin frowned and said, "Xiaowan, we are husband and wife, what can't we say directly?" ”

"Oh, when Xiaowan married in, her husband was sick in bed, and now she is getting better, why...... Why don't you have a round room with Xiaowan! After Xie Xiaowan finished speaking, her cheeks seemed to have been burned by fire, and her little head was so low that her chin was buried in her chest.

Xu Jin chuckled in his heart, here and here, what should come is still here.

Xu Jin has never been married to Xie Xiaowan, in addition to not being able to pass the psychological level, there is also the fact that he doesn't want to have children so early, his body is less than fifteen years old, Xie Xiaowan is even younger, and he is not mature at all, so the children born in this way are prone to problems, why is the death rate of the ancients so high, in addition to poor health and medical conditions, it is also related to too early marriage and early childbearing.

But Xu Jin is not easy to explain to Xie Xiaowan in this regard, even if he says this, I am afraid he will not believe it.

Fortunately, during this time, although the little girl became more and more attached to herself, and slept by herself, she had no further requirements. So Xu Jin thought that this little girl didn't understand that aspect at all, so he was at ease, thinking that he would have a round house in a few years.

As everyone knows, before every woman in ancient times got married, she would receive enlightenment education in that aspect of knowledge, so that she could be received after marrying into a man's family, Xie Xiaowan was naturally no exception, and her mother had guided her in this area before she got married.

When Xie Xiaowan first got married, the nerd was seriously ill, so naturally he couldn't have a round house, and later he got better, but his body was still weak, and Xie Xiaowan could understand it.

But...... Now seeing that Xianggong's body has been well, and he has not had a round room with himself, the little girl naturally began to complain, and it is inevitable that she will be cranky, because of this, today she suddenly found a woman's handkerchief in Xu Jin's clothes, and the little girl thought that Xianggong had a good relationship outside, so she refused to have a round room with herself, and got up in the middle of the night and cried secretly in the middle of the night.

"Xiaowan, hurry up and get into bed, Xianggong will tell you something!" Xu Jin knew that he didn't have a reasonable explanation tonight, and this little girl would inevitably have to think crankily in the future.

Xie Xiaowan obediently climbed into bed when she heard this, Xu Jin hugged the girl's petite body and said, "Xiaowan, it's not that the husband doesn't want to have sex with you, but ...... Xianggong is bitter! ”

"Huh?" Xie Xiaowan's dark eyes widened, with a puzzled expression!

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, what kind of eyes, this little girl wouldn't think she was bad at that, right? He coughed lightly and said: "That's the case, our Xu family has been passed down for four generations, and my father only gave birth to me, and my great-grandfather, grandfather, and my father don't live long, do you know why?" ”

Xie Xiaowan shook her head, there was a hint of fear in her eyes, Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, is it really good to scare a little girl like this?

"Ahem, when I was a child, I heard my father tell me that he once met a wandering Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest calculated a hexagram for my father. The Taoist priest said, if our Xu family wants to spread branches and leaves, people will prosper and live a long life, a man must be at the age of eighteen before he can marry a wife and have children, otherwise the children born will die early, and the man himself will not live long, just like my father! ”

Xu Jin sighed and continued: "Xiaowan, do you now understand why Xianggong hasn't had a room with you all this time?" If you don't believe it, Xianggong can do that now...... It's a big deal to live for a few decades! ”

Xie Xiaowan's face turned white with fright at this time, and she hurriedly said: "No, no, no, it's all Xiaowan's fault, she almost hurt her husband!" ”

Alas! Xu Jin suddenly felt that he was too shameless, he deceived the little girl, and he had to contrast his own tall and selfless, shameless!

Xu Jin's clumsy lie, if it is put aside now, I am afraid that even elementary school students will not be able to deceive it, but in ancient times when ghosts and gods were feared, this kind of anti-epidemic was the most effective, so Xie Xiaowan was immediately frightened.

Xu Jin held Xie Xiaowan's hand and said, "It's not your fault, it's Xianggong who didn't make it clear to you first, well, let's go to bed, it's late!" ”

The two lay down and covered the quilt, Xie Xiaowan broke away from Xu Jin's embrace, and said worriedly: "Xianggong, why don't we sleep in separate rooms, what will we do if it affects you like this?" ”

"Uh...... No, as long as you don't have that, it's fine, good, you can't sleep if you don't hug your husband! ”

"Oh!" Xie Xiaowan returned to Xu Jin's arms at this time, and asked a little relieved: "Is it really okay?" ”

"Don't worry, as long as you don't cry in the middle of the night like tonight, and you are so scared that Xianggong's hairs stand on end, Xianggong promises to live a long life!"

Xie Xiaowan burst out laughing, and the little girl who untied the knot soon fell asleep and curled up in Xu Jin's arms like a kitten.

Before dawn the next day, Xie Xiaowan got up as usual to prepare breakfast, and then went out to the vegetable market to buy haggis. Ingredients like flour and radish can be stored, but haggis must be bought fresh every day.

Just as Xie Xiaowan opened the courtyard door with a vegetable basket, a black shadow rolled in with the cold wind, Xie Xiaowan was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped back to make a defensive posture.

However, the black shadow rolled in but did not move, Xie Xiaowan took a closer look through the faint morning light of dawn, and found that the person who rolled in was actually a dirty little beggar, with unkempt hair and a face full of mud, and he couldn't tell the age and gender at all, but looking at the immature body, I am afraid that he was only eight or nine years old.

"You won't freeze to death!" Xie Xiaowan had the courage to go forward to check, and found that the little beggar was still snorting, so she couldn't help but be overjoyed, pushed the little beggar's shoulder, and shouted, "Hey, wake up!" ”

Xie Xiaowan pushed hard a few times, and the little beggar finally hummed lightly, opened his eyes slightly and looked at Xie Xiaowan and closed them again. Xie Xiaowan subconsciously reached out and touched the little beggar's forehead, and found that it was very hot, obviously a fever.

Xie Xiaowan knew that if the little beggar was thrown out at this time, he would definitely die, so the kind-hearted little girl hurriedly closed the courtyard door, and then carried the little beggar into the house.

"Xiaowan, what's going on?" Xu Jin was still lying in the quilt, but when he heard the movement, he hurriedly got up, put on his coat and walked out of the room.

"Xianggong, a little beggar fainted at the door of our house, and he still has a fever, if he doesn't care, he will die!"

Xu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and touched the little beggar's forehead, it was really extremely hot, and at this time, the little beggar was talking nonsense like a dream, obviously a little burned.

"Xiaowan, go cook a bowl of ginger soup, and then prepare a bucket of hot water!"

"Oh, I'll go!" Xie Xiaowan hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

Soon, Xie Xiaowan came in with a bowl of hot ginger soup, Xu Jin pinched the little beggar's mouth, and poured most of the bowl with a spoon spoonful, and the little beggar's originally bruised lips obviously became more normal.

"Xianggong, the hot water is ready!" Xie Xiaowan reminded.

Xu Jin hummed, picked up the little beggar and walked to the kitchen, because listening to the voice, this little beggar should be a little boy, naturally he couldn't let Xiao Wan help him take a bath, so he had to do it himself.

Half an hour later, Xu Jin walked out with a strange expression and asked Xiao Wan to prepare a set of her own clothes.

When Xie Xiaowan saw Xu Jin walking out with the cleaned little beggar in his arms, she couldn't help but be stunned, because the little beggar in front of her had delicate and white skin, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she looked more like a girl.

"Xianggong, is it a woman?" Xie Xiaowan ate and said.

"Man!" Xu Jin saw the chick just now, or just looking at his face, he really thought that this little beggar was a woman, and he looked too delicate.

At this time, the little beggar's eyes were closed, his thin eyebrows were deeply locked, and he was still asleep.

Xu Jin asked Xie Xiaowan to make a bed in an empty room, then put the beggar on the bed and put a wet towel on his forehead.

Xie Xiaowan looked at the delicate little boy who was unconscious on the bed, and couldn't help asking, "Xianggong, do you want to hire a doctor?" ”

Xu Jin pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll go and please, you take care of him first!" ”

Xie Xiaowan hurriedly brought a thick coat to put on for Xu Jin, and advised: "Then be careful, it snowed lightly last night, and the road is a little slippery!" ”

As soon as Xu Jin walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw two adult beggars passing by the door, looking around, as if looking for something.

Xu Jin watched thoughtfully as the two beggars walked away, turned around and closed the courtyard door, and hurried in the direction of the pharmacy.
