Liu Xiang was crying his heart out, but when he heard Xi Jiu'er's disbelieving voice, he raised his head and said in surprise: "Miss, you, you're awake?"
"Yeah." Xi Jiu'er sat up, the blood and Qi on his face was very abundant, how could he be a dying person like the doctor said? When the sunlight shone onto her jade-like face, Liu Xiang felt that the Miss in front of him had become even more beautiful than before! For a moment, he could not help but stare blankly, and said pitifully: "Miss ? You didn't know that the doctor just said you... Speak of you... Liu Xiang had thought that Miss was going to abandon him ? "Sob, sob, sob ?"
"Silly girl, you must remember that I will never abandon you." Xi Jiu'er said in a solemn voice, "You must remember this."
There was no reason for her to not believe it. She firmly nodded her head, "Yes, Liu Xiang will remember this, no matter what happens, Miss will not abandon Liu Xiang."
"That's right." Xi Jiu'er smiled, and started to size up the house in front of her. Although the arrangement was simple, but it was very clean, and in the end, she shifted her gaze towards the shocked ex-sister-in-law at the door, and smiled: "You are ex-sister-in-law?" She seemed to be in a coma, but her mind was very clear, and she could clearly hear everyone's voices.
She sized ex-sister-in-law up. She seemed to be around 30 years old and had taken good care of her body. At the same time, ex-sister-in-law also looked at her in astonishment. It couldn't be that she was seeing things, right? The person who was lying down on the bed and was about to die was now smiling at her spiritedly. His face was red and shiny, his eyes were lively and his smile was extremely moving ? No matter how he looked at it, he was not someone who was going to die.
"Miss, are you alright?" ex-sister-in-law stepped forward happily and bowed: "My late husband's surname is Qian, he is known as ex-sister-in-law."
"Hehe, ex-sister-in-law doesn't need to be so courteous. These are all empty courtesies, I will need your care in the future and will have to trouble ex-sister-in-law further." Xi Jiu'er removed the bracelet from his wrist and handed it over to ex-sister-in-law: "ex-sister-in-law, I liked you the first time. I don't have anything for you, so I'll give you the bracelet on me."
ex-sister-in-law shook his head. "Taking care of Miss is my duty, I don't dare to take his bracelet. Please take it back, Miss."
"ex-sister-in-law, just guard it. There is nothing to be afraid of." Xi Jiu'er gave the bracelet to ex-sister-in-law, but ex-sister-in-law was unable to take it off and could barely put it away.
"Miss and Liu Xiang must be tired from their journey, I will go prepare some food for Miss." The ex-sister-in-law bowed slightly and left. He did not ask why they suddenly became so good, as if he did not care at all.
When this ex-sister-in-law saw the high grade bracelet, her eyebrows didn't even twitch. Either she didn't know what was good, or she had seen many of these things already! His words and actions were dignified and dignified, he did not try to please others, but he was deliberately making things difficult for them. His smiling face gave people a feeling that he was a thousand miles away ? This ex-sister-in-law probably had some background.
"Liu Xiang, let's go. Let's take a look at our new residence."
The yard was not big, but it was large enough that it could fit in at any size. It was slightly bigger than an ordinary yard. Elder Xi's Madame's courtyard was much bigger than this one ? Xi Jiu'er looked at Liu Xiang who was beside her with a gloomy face, she knew what she was worried about, how could the conditions here compare to that of Xi Family? [I have to reflect on this for a month, for a year and a half?]
"Don't worry. We won't be staying for long. Have you forgotten that I still have a grandfather?" Xi Jiu'er said indifferently. Even if she didn't have her grandfather, she could still think of a way to leave this place. Since First Madame brought her here, it probably wasn't that simple ? He reckoned that he still had other tricks up his sleeves.
"Yeah, there's even a State Duke." Liu Xiang was also relieved. As long as State Duke was here, he could definitely go back.
In a short while, ex-sister-in-law had prepared a few small dishes. Although she did not feel hungry after drinking the spring water, but looking at the porridge, which had a rich fragrance, the smell spread throughout the room made Xi Jiu'er's appetite rise.
"Miss, these are the only things in this remote place." ex-sister-in-law said: "Tell me what Miss wants to eat. If I can buy it, I will definitely make it for you."
This ex-sister-in-law is truly a wonderful person, she talks a lot, whoever can buy it will buy it for her. This was indirectly telling her that other than these, there was nothing else in this countryside. If you wanted to eat delicacies, there was nothing else. Liu Xiang was a stubborn girl, sometimes her head would not turn but instead, think things through. She needed a quiver at her side, and this ex-sister-in-law probably had not married again, so he did not know if she would be willing to follow him.
Xi Jiu'er thought for a while, then smiled: "ex-sister-in-law, don't call me Miss, just call me Jiu Er. If Jiu Er doesn't care about food, Jiu Er will eat whatever ex-sister-in-law does." While speaking, he started to eat heartily as if the porridge in front of him was even more delicious than the delicacies of the sea and mountains.
ex-sister-in-law revealed a smile, "It's good that Miss doesn't mind."
After eating, the sky gradually darkened and the ex-sister-in-law began to prepare a bed. Xi Jiu'er realized that she had done it very carefully, and it was obvious that she was a person whose life was very particular. She didn't know why, but she was probably born into a big family. This kind of temperament that came from her bones wasn't something that could be developed the day after tomorrow.
"Thank you, ex-sister-in-law." Xi Jiu'er was making friends with the ex-sister-in-law sincerely, and didn't treat her as a servant at all. With the intelligence of the ex-sister-in-law, he should be able to understand this point.
"This is what I should do." The smile on the ex-sister-in-law's face became more sincere, and he left after bowing. It was truly beautiful to look at her back.
At night, Xi Jiu'er slept soundly in space, and on the second day, he was full of energy: "Liu Xiang, how about we go out for a stroll when we have time?"
Liu Xiang's hand paused for a moment, then raised her head and asked with doubt: "Miss, are we not going to look for State Duke? That way we can get out of here sooner. " What if she worried about staying here for a long time? Although it was a reflection, but when it came to reflecting, who knew how long it would take. Seeing that her master wasn't worried at all, she was truly worried.
"Don't worry, I'll make them obediently invite me back." Xi Jiu'er laughed with confidence. Just then, her gaze was attracted by ex-sister-in-law, who was carefully drying the seeds, and couldn't help but go over to ask curiously, "ex-sister-in-law, what seeds are these? Is it precious? "
ex-sister-in-law laughed: "Miss, this time, the seeds of Chinese vanilla herb are very rare, and very difficult to plant. If they are planted, a single one of them can be bought for a thousand silvers. It's a pity ? I've never been able to grow it. " His voice revealed a faint sense of loss, Xi Jiu'er's gaze moved to the small box at the side. The seeds inside the box were dry and shriveled, and he was not as full as the purpose in ex-sister-in-law's hands.
"Is this also the seed of a Chinese vanilla herb?" Xi Jiu'er pointed.
ex-sister-in-law nodded his head: "Yes, but those seeds have already been abandoned and cannot be planted."
Xi Jiu'er thought about how his personal space had spring water and how he heard Qiu Qiu said that it could nourish everything. He decided to give this seed a try to see how it would turn out. If the effect was good, then she would definitely be lucky! Xi Jiu'er calculated in his heart, and revealed a smile as he asked: "ex-sister-in-law, since this seed is useless, can you give it to me?"
"..." "Sure!" Although ex-sister-in-law was curious about what Xi Jiu'er was going to do with this, he did not ask.
"ex-sister-in-law, Liu Xiang and I are planning to go out for a walk in a few days, is that okay?" Xi Jiu'er laughed and asked, as though he did not know what he was about to face once he reached the villa, as though he did not care at all. However, based on his many years of experience viewing people, he could tell that the girl in front of him was not someone who was at ease with the current situation.
Originally, he did not plan to accompany Xi Jiu'er out. He was the only one taking care of the villa, what if something happened to her after he went out? Why don't I just take her around for a while to get my bearings? I don't need to follow her from now on. Then he said: "If Miss wishes to go, of course you can. At that time, this humble servant will bring Miss on a tour around the little town."
"Thank you, ex-sister-in-law."
In the space, Xi Jiu'er dipped the Chinese vanilla herb in a bit of spring water, and stared fixedly at the seed in his hand, hoping for a miracle to happen. Not long after, a change appeared as the seed was contaminated by the spring water, and under the nourishment of the spring water, the withered seed gradually became full, as if it had drank a lot of water.
Qiu Qiu bounced over, gathered around her head, with a serious look on her face.
Xi Jiu'er buried the seed in the ground, patting the soil in his hand and asked: "Qiu Qiu, when do you think the seed will sprout?"
Qiu Qiu shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I think it will be very soon."
Is that so?" She might as well go soak in the spring. As she lay comfortably in the cold spring, she couldn't help but feel sleepy. Unknowingly, she had a dream in which the two of them were together. When she woke up, her cheeks were burning. She actually had a dream, a dream! Mi Jiu'er was stunned, and the ball happily ran over: "Master, master, the seed has sprouted, it has sprouted ?
"So fast!" Xi Jiu'er was shocked, he immediately ran over to take a look, and as expected, the seed had sprouted. The tender green leaves announced its arrival. Xi Jiu'er was both surprised and happy. With such a strong ability, how long would it take for him to grow up? This is worth thousands of gold. With these, she would have silver taels ? These were all pure silver.
"Qiu Qiu, when you grow up, just tell me." Thinking that it was about time for him to return, he left a message for her.
Qiu Qiu nodded his head: "Rest assured Master, Qiu Qiu will immediately inform you when I grow up." Qiu Qiu promised as if he was a small adult, making Xi Jiu'er laugh.
