Chapter 281: Insomnia

Compassion for the light cold and the wind. The first day of the fifteenth year of Zhengde was a sunny day, the warm sunlight spilled into the courtyard, and the breeze gently touched a few cold plums in the corner. A big that rises early to forage for food stands at the edge of the window, peeking in through the slightly open window, as if there is spring light in the house that it has been waiting for for a long time.

In the room, the honeycomb coal under the kang is still glowing red, and the warmth is warm. Xie Xiaowan on the kang was scattered, her pretty face was flushed, as delicate and moving as a begonia flower after the rain, and she could vaguely glimpse the charming spring light on her chest along the fragrant shoulders slightly exposed outside the quilt.

Xu Jin stretched out his hand, gently pulled up the quilt, covered Xie Xiaowan's bare shoulders, and then quietly admired Xiao Nizi Haitang's pretty appearance of spring sleep. This kind of opportunity is undoubtedly rare, because every morning, Xiao Wan must get up earlier than Xu Jin, and today she is still bedridden on the third pole of the day, so she was naturally tired of being tossed by someone last night.

Xie Xiaowan is the kind of delicate and beautiful beauty, her little mouth is always slightly pouted, as if she is always smiling, delicate and cute, after last night's rain and dew, the fifteen-year-old girl is even more charming. Xu Jin couldn't help but lean over and kiss Xiao Wan's cute little lips dotingly. Xie Xiaowan squeezed into Xu Jin's arms in her sleep, probably touching somewhere, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly scream ashamed, he was not a reckless man who had no personnel, so he moved as gently as possible last night, but in the end he couldn't stand the obsession of this Nizi, so he turned over and got on the horse again, and came to a brace, and when it was almost time, the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

It is worth mentioning here that Xu Jin has been dragging out not to have a round house with Xiaowan, firstly, because Xiaowan is only thirteen years old, and as a modern person, she really can't pass the psychological level; Second, girls at this age are not fully mature, and if they are pregnant, it is not good for themselves and the fetus. So Xu Jin lied, planning to wait until he was eighteen years old to have a round house, when Xiaowan was almost seventeen, even in modern times, she was considered an adult.

However, Xiao Wan's serious illness not long ago changed Xu Jin's mind, in the ancient society with backward medical standards, human life is too fragile, maybe they will be separated from each other that day.

As the saying goes: the flowers can be folded straight, and the branches must be broken without flowers. Life is impermanent, and it is serious to cherish the talents in front of you, so Xu Jin decided to round the house in advance, so that Xiaowan can truly become his own woman, if he can give birth to a son and a half daughter, then each other's lives will be complete.

As for the lie that he couldn't round the house before the age of eighteen, he naturally had to use another lie to round it, this was difficult for Xu Jin, he brought out the abbot of the Daci Pavilion, Zen Master Huijing, and said that he had asked the master to help break the "curse", and he would not only be able to round the house before the age of eighteen, but also that the Xu family would be prosperous in the future, and there would be many children and grandchildren.

Xu Jin said it well, and Zen Master Huijing is indeed a well-known monk, so Xiaowan, the little girl, believed it and obediently cooperated with Xianggong to round the room, and changed from a girl to a young woman.

Xu Jin hugged Xie Xiaowan's soft Chiguo delicate body, and her body reacted involuntarily, the girl in her arms obviously felt it, her long eyelashes moved, and her eyes opened in the next second, and her eyes touched Xu Jin, and she immediately closed it shyly and pretended to sleep.

Xu Jin was a little funny, pinched Xiaowan's nose lightly and said, "Don't pretend, Xianggong has seen it." ”

Xie Xiaowan opened her eyes, glanced at Xu Jin shyly, and wanted to get up to serve Xianggong and dress, but as soon as she stood up, she let out a soft cry and lay down again.

Xu Jin was sweating, he was really a little Meng Lang last night, so he pulled the quilt on Xiaowan and said softly: "Lady, sleep a little longer, don't go to Daci Pavilion to incense today." ”

At this time, Yue'er, who had been waiting outside for a long time, probably heard the movement and walked in with a basin of hot water and lifted the curtain, Xie Xiaowan was so ashamed that she buried her head in the quilt.

Xu Jin coughed lightly and said, "Yue'er, let's put the hot water here first, Xiaowan had insomnia last night, so I want to sleep a little longer." ”

Yue'er's face was flushed, and she put down the washbasin and hurriedly retreated.

After Yue'er withdrew, Xu Jin immediately got up from the kang and got dressed lightly like a sleek horse monkey, and something was still standing on guard with high morale. Xie Xiaowan was so embarrassed that she took a sip, covering her pretty face with her hands and not daring to look at it.

Xu Jin got dressed and washed up, then he called Yue'er in to comb his hair and tie his hair. The beautiful maid entered the room, her sweet face was still red, and she didn't dare to look at Xie Xiaowan on the bed, she was familiar with combing her hair on weekdays, but she was a little busy at this time.

Xu Jin glanced at the beautiful maid with two dark circles under her eyes from the mirror, and asked curiously, "Yue'er, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

Yue'er couldn't help but be angry, as a girl in the room, she slept in the outer room last night, and how could she not hear the movement of the middle night, this Huaichun girl was restless, almost didn't sleep all night, and said with a pout: "People are the same as Mrs., insomnia!" ”

……

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the spring cold in the north is still very strong, just like the flavor of the New Year. Early in the morning, Xu Jin set off, and the two luxurious carriages left Baoding Fucheng, went north along the official road, and went straight to the capital.

Baoding Mansion City is located in the west of the Jizhong Plain, about 300 miles away from the capital, plus it is located in the plain, this official road is smooth and wide, so it only took three days, the carriage entered the territory of Tongzhou. Tongzhou is the south gate of the capital, the starting point of the famous Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the Tongzhou wharf, and it is the capital of the Ming Dynasty to the north for more than ten miles from Tongzhou.

On the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, two horse-drawn carriages drove unhurriedly towards Tongzhou City on the official road, and there were obviously more pedestrians and carriages on the road, and the canal not far away was full of sails, and the boats and boats were coming and going, which was very busy.

Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er lifted the curtains and watched the scene of thousands of sails competing on the canal with excited faces.

Xu Jin was emotionally moved at the moment, Beijing's Tongzhou District was no stranger to him, and in his previous life, he even walked through the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal by boat. However, with the development of transportation in later generations, river transportation was gradually eliminated, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was also abandoned, losing its former prosperity and glory, and the river was narrow and accumulated, and in some places it even became a dirty and stinky ditch.

Now that I have traveled through 500 years of time and space, I have witnessed the grand scenery of this golden waterway that has been prosperous for thousands of years, as if in a dream, people have to sigh at the vicissitudes of life, and the deceased is like a miracle.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly came to an emergency stop, and Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er, who were coming to the window to watch the scenery, suddenly hit their brains for a while, and the pain made the two girls tearful.

"What are you doing in the middle of the road, a scholar, do you want to slander people?" The buzz of Erniu came in immediately.

Xu Jin frowned, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, only to see a man dressed as a scholar stopping in front of the carriage, his face was swollen red, and he said unhappily: "Hugh is talking nonsense, I am a disciple of a saint, and a gentleman is a, how can he do such a thing." ”
