The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

"What are we doing here?"

The carriage entered a small alley in the south of the city, turned into a small alley, and finally stopped in front of a two-story noodle restaurant.

The location of the noodle shop is a bit remote. If it is not for people who are familiar with the neighborhood, Shen Yijia estimates that few people will be able to find it.

Xiao Ruoshui got out of the car, glanced at the word "noodle shop" on the shop, pursed his lips and said two words: "Eat noodles."

After saying that, he took out a piece of broken silver from his purse and gave it to the driver.

The family's carriage was driven by Mo Yuan to see Brother Hao and the others had not returned. Xiao Ruoshui also said that he would not take the carriage of the General's Mansion, so the carriage was rented.

It was the most common blue cloth carriage that Shen Yijia rode in when he met Shen Pingxiu.

Shen Yijia blinked, you don't look like you are here to eat noodles, she believes you are here to catch rape.

Before she could figure out why Xiao Ruoshui wanted to bring her all the way here, and seeing the silver in Xiao Ruoshui's hands, Shen Yijia hurriedly grabbed it and said, "Wait a minute."

The driver's outstretched hand paused.

Xiao Ruoshui was also a little confused. Seeing Shen Yijia taking out her purse, she thought she didn't want to spend her own money.

"Oh, I don't have a lot of money, I'll just pay..."

Not wanting her to finish her sentence, she saw Shen Yijia put her piece of silver into her purse, and counted thirty copper coins from it.

"The 30 coins you agreed, you can count them." Shen Yijia handed the copper plate to the driver.

Driver: ...

Xiao Ruoshui's mouth twitched: No, should her money be returned to her?

After Shen Yijia paid the money, she put her purse back in her arms with peace of mind.

The piece of silver that Xiao Ruoshui gave out just now had at least two coins.

The coachman glanced at Shen Yijia with contempt, the carriage stopped turning around, and swung the whip away.

There are still such stingy people in big families, and I have learned a lot.

"If you don't have change, tell me, I have it." Shen Yijia patted her small chest and said loudly.

Xiao Ruoshui:  …

There were five or six tables in the lobby of the noodle restaurant, and the two found an empty seat to sit down.

At this time, there were guests sitting in twos and threes. In addition to the sound of conversation, it was the sound of sucking noodles.

Shen Yijia glanced at the bowl in front of the guests at the next table, and it didn't look particularly delicious, just ordinary.

Xiao Ruoshui had never eaten anything delicious, so how could she have come all the way up early for such a bowl of noodles, Shen Yijia was even more sure that she didn't just come to eat noodles.

She had a bold guess in her heart.

Thinking of that possibility, Shen Yijia widened her eyes, looked around, leaned over to Xiao Ruoshui and asked in a low voice, "It's not your brother here..."

Xiao Ruoshui stretched out his hand to cover Shen Yijia's mouth and nodded.

Knowing the existence of such a woman, General Xiao forced Xiao Qirui to ask who and where that woman was.

However, Xiao Qirui refused to say anything after being beaten by General Xiao.

Xiao Qirui grew up in a military barracks, one of the most disciplined and disciplined people.

Suddenly such a thing happened, not to mention how angry General Xiao was, even Xiao Ruoshui felt incredible.

From what she knew about her eldest brother, she knew that there was a wife who had never been there, and she would never be involved with other women.

After all, so many years have passed, it makes no sense to suddenly become tempted to others when you are about to get married.

This is really not like what Xiao Qirui would do.

You must know that Xiao Qirui had already reached the crown last year. At that time, the girl of the Yuan family wanted to keep filial piety. He didn’t want to delay him and even sent a message to the general’s house to propose to retire from the family. Xiao Qirui personally told the person who came to communicate that he could wait.

This is not because he has feelings for the Yuan family girl, but because he is a man of great promise.

But now, looking at the way he protects the woman so tightly, not to mention that he broke his promise, this is because he would rather turn against his family and guard his love.

It has only been so long, the entire Xiao family has been bleak because of him, Mrs. Xiao groaned all day long, and General Xiao did not step into the main courtyard for several days because of this, and stayed in the concubine's room every day.

Xiao Ruoqian, that little bitch, don't be too proud.

Seeing this look at home, Xiao Ruoshui was in a hurry.

She could know this place because she forced a follower beside Xiao Qirui last night.

That entourage did not dare to tell General Xiao, because he was afraid that General Xiao would get angry and kill the woman, and he would no longer worry about Xiao Ruoshui.

On the contrary, the entourage also hoped that Xiao Ruoshui could persuade Xiao Qirui.

"That woman has too many thoughts, but the eldest son doesn't listen to his subordinates at all, and he can get through to the end." The attendant was spanked, lying on the bed crying and complaining to Xiao Ruoshui.

Between the two of them whispering, a woman wearing a cloth robe and an apron around her waist came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles.

Just looking at her figure, this woman can be called graceful and graceful, and then look up...

Well, they wear a thick black veil on their faces, revealing only a pair of almond eyes that are full of autumn water, but they can't see clearly.

The woman put her face in front of a guest before turning around to entertain the two.

Usually, the people who come here to eat noodles are usually people who live nearby, and the people who live in the south of the city are not rich, so Shen Yijia and the two of them don't fit in here at first glance.

The woman paused, wiped the apron with her hands cautiously, and then said, "What do you two want to eat?"

The woman's voice was very gentle, soft to the core.

Xiao Ruoshui frowned and said coldly, "Two bowls of plain noodles."

She came today just to see who is the holy man who can fascinate Xiao Qirui, not to eat noodles.

Shen Yijia didn't speak, she wasn't picky eaters.

The woman smiled awkwardly: "The two of you, please wait a moment."

"Man girl, your business here is getting better and better, and you should consider hiring a buddy, otherwise you will be so busy alone." The middle-aged man at the next table took a sip of noodles and suggested.

Feng Manman smiled and shook his head: "No, I can do it alone."

The middle-aged man sighed: "You girl is so stubborn."

Feng Manman smiled and said, "Uncle Li, you are eating, I will go to work first."

"Hey, let's go, I'll put the money on this table in a while."

"okay."

Shen Yijia and Xiao Ruoshui looked at each other and saw that the man named Uncle Li was almost finished.

Shen Yijia leaned over and asked, "Uncle, are you familiar with the owner of this shop?"

"You live in this area, how can you be unfamiliar?" Uncle Li took a sip of noodle soup, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, looked at the two of them and continued, "You two don't look like you would come to such a place to eat noodles." people. "

Not only do they dress well, they also look good.

Shen Yijia laughed: "We were passing by, and we happened to be hungry. We came in after seeing that this noodle restaurant was clean."

This is the truth, this noodle shop is kept clean inside and out, in stark contrast to the cluttered alleys.

Uncle Li did not doubt and continued to bury his head in the noodle soup.

Shen Yijia blinked and looked at Xiao Ruoshui and asked her to ask herself. The latter put his hands together and said the word "please" with his mouth.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes, scratched her head and asked, "I heard you talk to the boss just now, is she the only one in this shop?"

"No, Mangirl is also a poor girl. I heard that there was a disaster in my hometown, so I originally came to the capital with my family to defect to relatives.

I don't want to wait until the capital, the family is gone, and she is the only one left to talk about. That relative is not a good thing. Seeing her good-looking, she wants to sell her to such a bad place.

Fortunately, he was rescued by a passing nobleman. The nobleman is a real good person. After saving the person, he also lent money to Mangirl to do business in a shop here.

Man girl is shuiling and diligent, many people came to say kiss to her, the original marriage is about to be booked, but unfortunately..."

Uncle Li shook his head.

"What a pity?" Shen Yijia rolled her eyes, feeling that it was a pity that this uncle didn't tell stories.

A paragraph of speech was rhythmic, ups and downs.

She seemed to have seen a woman's tortuous life, which made her feel a little overflowing with sympathy, and in the end, she had enough appetite.

Uncle Li gave Shen Yijia a strange look, and Shen Yijia immediately put on a smile.

Only after he heard him continue: "It's not a secret either, see the veil on Mangirl's face? You said that in such a hot day, there are still people carrying such thick stuff. It's not because of saving people's disfigurement."

Thinking of something, he shuddered: "The face was slashed several times, and children would have nightmares when they saw it. Because of this, the people who had arranged the marriage with her changed their minds."

Speaking of this, he sighed and shook his head, took out five copper plates from his arms and put them on the table: "Oh, the neighbors in the neighborhood also think she is pitiful, and will come here from time to time to take care of her business."

Otherwise, just a bowl of noodles, it is not impossible to eat at home.

Uncle Li walked away with his hands behind his back, and Shen Yijia looked at Xiao Ruoshui, who had an ugly face, and poked her on the forehead: "What are you stunned for?"

Xiao Ruoshui pouted, put a piece of broken silver on the table, and sighed, "Let's go back first."

"The face hasn't come yet." Shen Yijia widened her eyes.

Xiao Ruoshui rolled his eyes: "I'll treat you to a big dinner later."

Shen Yijia weighed the noodles and the big meal, and decisively put away Xiao Ruoshui's broken silver and replaced it with ten copper plates of her own.

"Let's go then."

Xiao Ruoshui:  …

Not long after the two left, Feng Manman came out with two bowls of noodles. She looked around the lobby suspiciously without seeing anyone.

At this time, the guests in the lobby were almost gone, and there was only one man who looked very honest.

Seeing this, the man opened his mouth and said, "The two girls are probably going away, Man girl, you will sell the two bowls of noodles you have to your uncle, and your uncle will bring them back to your aunt and nephew to eat, and the bowls will be brought back to you as soon as possible. "

Feng Manman noticed that there was a copper plate on the table, and smiled lightly: "That's true, but the money is not needed. The guests who have paid for these two bowls of noodles have already paid."

"That uncle can get a big deal today." The man happily took two bowls of noodles from her and left.

Feng Manman smiled and began to clean up the table.

At this moment, there was a sound of hooves outside the door, and a tall man with cold and resolute features strode in.

"Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

"Are you OK?"

The two spoke at the same time.

Feng Manman burst out laughing, noticing the thin sweat on the man's forehead, she wiped the apron with her hands, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and stood on tiptoe to wipe the man's sweat.

Xiao Qirui subconsciously took a step back to avoid the woman's hand.

The loss in Feng Manman's eyes disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Qirui noticed it, with guilt on his face, took the handkerchief from Feng Manman's hand and explained, "You've been tired all morning, I'll just do it myself."

"How tiring can you be wiping your sweat." Feng Manman retorted in a low voice, and seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to say this, and his almond eyes were so nervous that he turned the subject and said, "I'm fine, my uncle's family has no courage. Come to trouble me."

Xiao Qirui sighed, put the handkerchief back in her hands, and bent down.

Feng Manman paused and raised his hand to help Xiao Qirui dry his sweat.

Looking at the handsome face of the man, Feng Manman's heart beat like a drum, and she withdrew her hand: "Okay, okay."

"You haven't had breakfast yet, I'll go get you a bowl of noodles."

Xiao Qirui stopped her: "Don't be too busy, I'll leave in a while."

"This, this is it." Feng Manman lowered her eyes, her eyes full of reluctance.

Xiao Qirui stroked his forehead, looked around and asked, "What strange people have you seen today?"

"Strange person?" Feng Manman tilted his head and thought for a while: "Is it strange that there are two well-dressed women who ordered two bowls of noodles and left without eating?"

"Two?" Xiao Qirui frowned: "They didn't say anything to you, did they?"

Feng Manman shook his head: "I didn't say anything."

Thinking of something, she reached out and touched her face, and said enviously, "Those two women are so good-looking."

Xiao Qirui's heart tightened, and he grabbed her wrist: "I'm sorry, if it wasn't to save me..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Feng Manman hurriedly interrupted him: "If you hadn't rescued me in the first place, I would have committed suicide long ago.

This life of mine was originally saved by you. As long as it can save you, let alone disfigurement, I will be willing to die even if I want to die. "

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the hand that was grasped by the man's thick big, and lowered her eyes: "I am very grateful to God for giving me this opportunity."

Two years ago, Xiao Qirui met Feng Manman, who had escaped from the kiln, and saving her was just an effort.

She said at the time that she wanted to sell herself as a slave as a maid, and the Xiao family did not lack a maid, so he naturally refused.

Thinking that it is not easy for her to be alone, she gave her some money to settle down.

Feng Manman tweeted that when it was lent to her, Xiao Qirui didn't take it to heart.

Later, I accidentally passed by and saw someone making trouble in a noodle restaurant, only to realize that she opened it with the money he gave, and that the trouble was the uncle's family who wanted to sell Feng Manman into the kiln.

Xiao Qirui took action to relieve the siege. In order to prevent the family from coming back, he would occasionally go in to eat a bowl of noodles when he passed by.

The relationship between the two of them stopped there. He didn't want to be surrounded and killed one night four months ago.

The person who came was very skilled. He lost to him and was seriously injured. When escaping, he was caught by Feng Manman who was feeding wild cats at the entrance of the alley. She stood in front of her regardless of the danger.

Fortunately, the patrolling guards arrived in time, and the two of them saved their lives.

In fact, in addition to her face, she also had several sword wounds on her body.

Later, she was dismissed from her relatives because of her disfigurement.

Xiao Qirui looked at the girl in front of her who had suffered so much but still maintained a kind heart.

Such a girl, how could he let her hurt again.

Feng Manman was a little embarrassed to see, she broke free a few times and pulled out her hand.

"By the way, wait a minute."

She turned around and went upstairs, and after a while came down with a stack of rice paper.

"This is what you taught me to write when you came last time. You haven't come for the past few days. I've written so much. Please help me to see if I have made progress."

Xiao Qirui took it and looked at it one by one: "It has made a lot of progress."

Feng Manman smiled and rolled his eyes: "Then teach me to write something else when you have time next time."

Xiao Qirui glanced at her and nodded, "Okay."
