Chapter Thirteen: Farewell to Xiaocui
The next day, Qian Xiaoxing and Butler Lu passed through Huju Pass and came to the territory of Lin Country. In the evening, they finally chased Lan Xiaocui's convoy. More than ten people in the convoy rode horses and protected a carriage in the middle.
Qian Xiaoxing saw the big red flag with the letter "Lin" in the carriage, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui..."
He poked his head out of the carriage. Qian Xiaoxing saw that it was Xiao Cui who he had longed for a long time, and waved his hand and shouted: "Xiao Cui, it's me, it's your brother Xing."
The leader of the convoy pulled the horse back and stood in front of Qian Xiaoxing vigilantly. In the carriage, a middle-aged woman also poked her head out, which looked a bit similar to Lan Xiaocui. Although her temples were a little gray, she looked noble and generous, and said softly: "General Ma, stop the convoy, this person is Xiaocui's friend."
"Brother Xing!" Lan Xiaocui hadn't seen her for a few days, and her face was much haggard. When she saw Qian Xiaoxing, she choked up. The carriage jumped down and ran towards Qian Xiaoxing.
Qian Xiaoxing got off the horse, opened his hands, waiting for Lan Xiaocui to run into her arms.
"Brother Xing!" Lan Xiaocui threw herself into Qian Xiaoxing's arms, tears flowed down her face involuntarily, hugging Qian Xiaoxing tightly and said, "Brother Xing, I finally saw you, as long as you are fine, I'm so happy."
Finally seeing Xiao Cui whom I missed, Qian Xiaoxing was also very excited. He patted Lan Xiao Cui's back and said, "Silly girl, Brother Xing, I am lucky and I will not die so easily. I will have to have a bridal chamber with Xiao Cui."
"You are still so unscrupulous," Lan Xiaocui left Qian Xiaoxing's arms, wiped her tears and said, "I have never left you before, I have never experienced it. I haven't seen you these days. I miss you so much, and I don't miss you all the time."
"Xiao Cui, you have lost weight." Qian Xiaoxing looked at Xiao Cui with distress, his face had obviously lost weight, and continued: "I miss you very much, Xiao Cui, why have you become the princess of Lin Country? Then I am not worthy of you."
Lan Xiaocui covered Qian Xiaoxing's mouth with her hands and said, "You are not allowed to say that. No matter what Xiaocui's identity is, she belongs to Brother Xing. In fact, I hate myself as a princess. I would rather be a maid, as long as I am by your side every day."
"I miss you by my side too, but you are a princess now. I am a commoner and I am no longer qualified to be with you." Qian Xiaoxing was suddenly a little desperate about the future of the two. He originally thought that Xiao Cui was a maid and a servant, and he was a good family. He was really not as good as God's. It was because of his identity that the two wanted to separate.
When Lan Xiaocui heard this, she cried and said, "I don't want to be a princess, I still want to be your Xiaocui."
While the two were talking, they saw Xiao Cui's mother Lan coming over. Seeing Lan Xiaocui crying, she gently pulled Xiao Cui into her arms and said to Qian Xiaoxing: "You are Qian Xiaoxing that Xiao Cui often talks about. Xiao Cui gets your care in Shandu, which makes you worry. I have thanked you."
When Qian Xiaoxing saw Lan, he became a little nervous and replied truthfully: "Auntie, Xiao Cui is taking care of me. I didn't do anything. I should thank Xiao Cui for it."
After hearing this, Lan thought that Qian Xiaoxing was honest. Looking at Xiao Cui who was crying in her arms, she said to Qian Xiaoxing: "Xiao Cui's feelings for you, mothers of course understand that she hasn't seen you these days, but marriages are all about the orders of her parents. If Lin Guo doesn't take me back, I will have the final say on your marriage. Now, Xiao Cui's father will be the decision. Seeing you chasing Xiao Cui all the way, it means you are sincere to Xiao Cui, so I will try my best to match you. Xiao Cui, I will take back Lin Guo first, let her meet her father first, and when the time is right, I will send someone to notify you."
"Thank you, aunt. I will work hard and make more money. I feel that I will not treat Xiao Cui badly." Qian Xiaoxing promised.
Lan wiped Xiao Cui's tears away and looked at Qian Xiaoxing in front of her. It was him who made Xiao Cui think about it day and night, but she didn't want to eat and eat. Seeing that she was covered in dust and her face was covered in dust, she really couldn't bear to let them separate. But now she could not make the decision and could only say softly: "Xiao Cui, you can talk to him again, and then we can get on the road as soon as possible."
Lan Xiaocui waited for Lan to walk away, gently pulled Qian Xiaoxing's hand and said, "Brother Xing, I'm leaving, I don't know what to do, I will miss you crazy."
Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Qian Xiaoxing teased and said, "That's not allowed, wouldn't I marry a crazy girl?" Then he took out a one-yuan coin from his arms and handed it to Lan Xiaocui and said, "There are only two such coins in the world. One has been given to Ling Shan, and the other I will give to you. It is like my eyes, looking at you all the time."
Lan Xiaocui took the silver coin and leaned her head on Qian Xiaoxing's shoulder. She felt a thousand ten thousand reluctantly in her heart, but she had to leave and said softly: "Brother Xing, hold me again and let me remember this moment."
Qian Xiaoxing hugged Lan Xiaocui tightly and said softly: "After you go back, when you look out the window, if the branches shake gently in the wind, it means I am thinking of you. When you listen with your ears, if you can hear your heartbeat, then the person you love is also loving you. When you close your eyes and have a smile on your lips, it means I am coming to marry you soon."
Lan Xiaocui felt even more sad after hearing this, and hugged Qian Xiaoxing tightly and was unwilling to leave. The two hugged each other tightly for a long time before the leader General Ma came up and urged: "Princess, it's getting late, let's get on the road."
Lan Xiaocui took Qian Xiaoxing's hand and lifted Qian Xiaoxing's sleeve. On her arm, a scar the size of a copper coin was extremely eye-catching. This scar was burned by Qian Xiaoxing for Lan Xiaocui. Lan Xiaocui gently stroked the uneven scar with her fingers, slowly leaned over and kissed the scar, raised her head and said to Qian Xiaoxing: "Brother Xing, I will always remember your kindness to me. Xiaocui will always belong to you, and no one can snatch me away from you."
"I understand." Qian Xiaoxing deeply realized how loyal and strong Lan Xiaocui's love for her was.
Under the urging, Lan Xiaocui reluctantly let go of Qian Xiaoxing's hand, turned around three times before coming to the carriage.
The convoy set off slowly. Qian Xiaoxing looked at the carriage that was leaving and Xiao Cui on the carriage. Although he felt ache, he still had a smile on his face. He wanted Xiao Cui to leave with peace of mind. Qian Xiaoxing waved his hands tirelessly at the carriage. Tears flashed crystal clear at the corners of his eyes that no one noticed.
"Brother Xing, I love you, you must come and marry me!" Xiao Cui shouted loudly when she left.
Qian Xiaoxing could no longer bear it after hearing this, tears flowed out, his hands made a trumpet, and he whimpered: "Xiao Cui, I love you too, I will definitely marry you!"
As the sun sets, the carriage gradually fades away, leaving only the dust that has been stirred up.
Butler Lu pulled the horse and asked, "Seventh brother, why are you crying?"
"Is that true? Dust is flying in from your eyes." Qian Xiaoxing said, wiping his eyes with his hands.
"Don't hide it. You are a person with a temperament. I admire you very much. The matter between you and Xiao Cui is very touching. I was secretly wiping my tears there just now." Butler Lu replied truthfully.
"I made Brother Zhong laugh at it, but I'm not afraid. My love for Xiao Cui is so real."
The two of them laughed and rode their horses on the road. There was no need to hurry back when they went back. Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing didn't know how to ride a horse, but Mr. Lu taught Qian Xiaoxing the key points of riding a horse along the way and slowly disappeared from the distance of the road.
The two of them had bumpy days and finally returned to Si Guo. After two days, Butler Lu's wound had no scars, and blood had penetrated his clothes. Along the way, Butler Lu was afraid that Qian Xiaoxing would not take off his clothes to check, so he took off his clothes to check when he arrived in the yard. Qian Xiaoxing saw that Butler Lu's wound was torn and kept bleeding. He felt uncomfortable and said guiltily: "Brother Zhong, I have made you suffer."
Butler Lu smiled and waved his hand, "What's this? It's just a minor injury. Don't make a fuss, go see the princess."
Qian Xiaoxing looked at the bloody wound. How perseverance does it take to persevere to persevere. He was immediately moved and said, "Brother Zhong, you are willing to suffer such great pain for your brother and put a knife on both sides of your back. I don't know how to repay you, brother. If you use me in the future, I won't hesitate to go through fire and water."
Butler Lu waved his hand and said, "Seventh brother, this is really nothing. I will be very happy if you can do more things for Si Guo in the future."
"Okay, I will do my best to make more money for Si Guo." Qian Xiaoxing promised.
Then Qian Xiaoxing entered the room and found Fang Ying. Fang Ying asked about chasing Xiao Cui. When she heard that she caught up, she felt relieved and asked again: "Who was the woman who came with you last time, and when did you kidnap her?"
Qian Xiaoxing replied: "The woman was called Jia Ling. She was with me and asked the bandits to be captured. Later, she ran out. Her father was killed by the bandits and now she has no support. Can the lady accept her as a maid?"
"If you don't accept it, you will be kidnapped like Xiao Cui." Fang Ying refused.
"Why are you so unkind? You don't have any mercy on others." Qian Xiaoxing said sarcastically.
"You will collect it yourself, and you will pay the wages yourself." Fang Ying said and walked into the house.
Qian Xiaoxing thought: It's right to collect it himself. Xiao Cui is gone. Someone is washing clothes and cooking, but he is a servant and even a maid. Isn't that right?
Qian Xiaoxing followed Fang Ying into the inner room, but saw a middle-aged man in the room. Fang Ying saw Qian Xiaoxing coming and hurriedly introduced: "9527, this is my father, father, this is the servant I mentioned to you, Qian Xiaoxing."
Qian Xiaoxing looked at his father who was greeting below, and saw white hair, kind eyes, kind but a little majestic, about fifty years old. When Si Wang saw Qian Xiaoxing, he held his hand affectionately and said, "I have heard from Yingying about your affairs. It turns out that he is a young hero. On behalf of all the people of Si, I thank you."
Qian Xiaoxing thought that this was the king of a country, and actually shook hands with him affectionately. He also thanked him, and hurriedly said modestly: "No need to thank you, it's just a matter of raising your hands."
"You can do so many things with just a simple effort. If you work hard, you will have a bright future!" King Si laughed and pulled Qian Xiaoxing to the position to do it before he ordered the servants to have dinner.
At the dinner table, King Si, Fang Ying, Qian Xiaoxing and Jia Ling sat down. Fang Ying saw that the food did not come up and said to Qian Xiaoxing: "Actually, my name is not Fang Ying, my name is Si Yingying (Fang Ying's name is changed to Si Yingying in the subsequent article)."
"Si Yingying? It's the same for me. Anyway, I either call you a lady or a princess." Qian Xiaoxing replied.
"If you don't want to call me a lady or a princess, you can call me Yingying. By the way, you will be upgraded in the future. After I discussed with my father, I will let you become the chief supervisor of the palace." Si Yingying smiled.
