Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

"Ma'am, there is an earth temple in front!" Erlin said excitedly.

Li Baolu opened the curtain and looked forward, then glanced at the gray sky, nodded and said, "Go and see, it's going to rain, we might spend the night here tonight."

The Temple of the Land was well rested, and the inside was cleaned very clean. The Lord of the Land was sitting right in front of him, looking at all living beings with a smile on his face.

Erlin and Shun Xin bowed very piously, and then looked inside the Earth Temple and said, "Madam, there are always people cleaning here, so it's not dilapidated."

"There is a village near here." Gu Jingyun turned his head to look at the sky outside and said, "It's better to go further and stay at a farmhouse."

Li Baolu nodded, "Alright."

Who would have thought that it was still raining in the early winter, and I could have rushed to Runing today, but because of the thin rain, the time was delayed, and I had to rest outside for another night.

"I don't know how far it is from Runing City?"

Gu Jingyun calculated the distance in his heart, "It shouldn't be far away."

But the sky is too dark, and even if it doesn't rain, it will get dark quickly. It's too dangerous to travel all night, so it's better to rest in the wild for one more night.

The five people boarded the carriage again and rushed forward. Earth temples are usually built by villagers to pray for a good harvest and a peaceful home. Since this earth temple is clean and tidy, it means that there are villages nearby. The five of them walked along the official road. Soon they saw the smoke rising from the kitchen, and the few people were overjoyed, and soon drove the carriage away from the official road and onto the small road into the village.

The villagers who lived at the entrance of the village heard the sound of the carriage and opened the door for a moment when they saw two carriages approaching, then they were ecstatic, and hurriedly dropped their work to meet them, "Are the guests here to stay overnight or to buy vegetables? "

Erlin was taken aback, feeling like he had entered an inn.

Li Baolu opened the curtain and said with a smile: "Hello folks, we want to stay here for one night because of the gloomy weather. Is it convenient?"

"It's convenient, it's convenient," the villager said with a smile on his face, "The first group of boarders left. The rooms are all ready-made, as long as the girl doesn't dislike our shabby place."

Erlin hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and put down the spring bench. After getting off the carriage, Li Baolu glanced at the villagers walking out of the house one after another, and said with a smile, "It's very lively here, will many people come to your village to stay overnight?"

"It's just these two days," the villagers said with a smile, "I don't know why, there are many people who came from Kaifeng Mansion in these two days. When they pass by here, it's getting late and they will stay overnight, so it's more lively."

"Coincidentally, we are also from Kaifeng Mansion."

"The girl is different from them," the villager said with a smile: "The girl and the young master are from a scholar's family. They are gentle and gentle. They all ride tall horses and carry swords. They sound like a group of people from the Jianghu."

Li Baolu raised her eyebrows, knowing that the people staying overnight were those who returned from the birthday banquet in Zhengjiabao.

"Oh? Are they all gone?"

"The people who stayed overnight the night before all left early this morning. Today, there are two groups of girls and young masters, but they are all staying at other people's houses. Our house is not much, so if we lend it to the girl, we will not lend it to others. "The villagers warmly welcomed Li Baolu in, pointed to the three principal rooms and said, "If the girls and young masters don't mind staying here at night, don't worry, the quilts have been removed and washed today, and they are absolutely clean."

Gu Jingyun, who was following Li Baolu, frowned slightly, and Li Baolu smiled and said, "We have bedding, you don't need to prepare it, just give us a stove and some fresh vegetables. It would be even better if we could have a chicken."

"Yes, yes," the villager rubbed his hands and said, "My family has several chickens, and the girl wants us to kill one."

Li Baolu took out a dime of silver from her purse and gave it to him, and said with a smile: "Then trouble the old man to kill a little hen for us, I will use it later."

The villagers took the money and went happily.

This money is more than one or two taels, which is much more generous than the Jiang Hu people who lived here before, and it is better to greet scholars. Being particular also has its advantages. At least tonight, my wife and children can cover themselves with blankets without being exposed to the cold.

The landlord quickly ordered his wife to go into the house and take out all three quilts, and asked the eldest daughter, Zhaodi, to fetch water and go in to scrub the heated kang.

Li Baolu took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves, took the basin in Zhaodi's hand and said with a smile, "I'll take care of this room, and you can help clean up the other two rooms."

Seeing that Gu Jingyun's face was a little pale, he said softly: "I don't know if your house has boiling water?"

"Yes, the kitchen is just cooking, and the water is hot, just add a handful of firewood and it will boil." Zhao Di lowered her head and said.

"Then please bring me a basin of hot water, and a bowl of boiling water."

Zhao Di went away in response, and quickly brought hot water, followed by a four or five-year-old little radish head who brought a large bowl of boiling water.

Li Baolu was startled when she saw it, and quickly went to take the thing in his hand, "You are so small, be careful of burning."

Little Luobotou smiled shyly at Li Baolu. Li Baolu liked it so much, she grabbed a handful of candy from the bag and gave it to him, then patted his head and said, "Go and play."

Little Luobotou's eyes were shining, he shyly said thank you, and ran away with the candy in his arms.

Zhao Di looked at her younger brother enviously, but didn't say anything, just put the water basin in her hand on the table steadily and stood aside a little helplessly.

Li Baolu was opening her bag and pouring red ginger candy into a bowl of boiling water when she turned around and saw her, "I'll just come here, thank you for your help."

Zhao Di blushed and whispered: "You're welcome." She hurried out.

When I went out, I found that my brother hadn't left, "Xiaobao, why are you still here?"

Little Luobotou had candy in his mouth, when he saw the elder sister, he stretched out his hand to peel a candy and stuffed it into her mouth, and whispered: "Eldest sister, eat."

Zhaodi's complexion eased, she looked outside and said in a low voice: "Keep it for yourself, I don't like candy."

Little Luobotou counted the candies in his arms and said happily: "Don't worry, big sister, that big sister gave me a lot of candy, big sister can eat it, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, and father and mother have it."

Zhaodi's face froze, "You have to take it to your mother."

Little Luobotou blinked her eyes and said slyly: "Yes, but you have to share it with the sisters first. The younger ones should be eaten first, and the older ones can be eaten."

Zhao Di breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered: "Then you wait, I will call your second sisters over."

Soon there were three girls standing outside the house, and Xiaoluotou put a candy in each of their hands, urging: "Eat quickly, eat quickly."

The three girls moved quickly, peeling off the candy wrappers and stuffing them into their mouths. The five siblings looked at each other and smiled in the dark, all of them couldn't be happier.

Gu Jingyun, who had witnessed the whole process, relaxed his tense face slightly, and he didn't feel too bad when Li Baolu forced him to drink red ginger candy.

Li Baolu stared at him as he finished drinking, then covered him with a coat, and then said: "You are a bit cold, you can't be coquettish at this time, let the cold air out of your body first."

Winter rain is the easiest way to get sick, not to mention that Gu Jingyun's body is weaker than ordinary people.

Li Baolu wiped the heated kang, lit it to dry it, and then carried their quilts in. A thin quilt was spread on the kang, and the quilt was used to cover them.

She touched Gu Jingyun's forehead, took the pulse again, and was relieved when she saw that the pulse was okay, "I'm going to the kitchen to prepare dinner, you sit here first, you are not allowed to go outside, you know?"

Gu Jingyun nodded with a pale face, leaning against the window and looking out.

Li Baolu closed the window for him, reasoning, "The wind in winter is so cold, what's so good about it being dark outside?"

Erlin and Shun Xin were also arranging their luggage and making the bed, Zhao Ning saw his wife going to the kitchen, so he followed behind, "Master, let me help you."

"No, just don't make trouble." Zhao Ning can be called a kitchen killer, not to mention cooking, he is a person who can wash vegetables without distinguishing between vegetables and grass, and can break dishes when washing dishes.

Zhao Ning touched his head in embarrassment, "Then I will ask Shun Xin to help you."

"Okay, let him come." Shun Xin can't do anything else, she can still cook and wash vegetables.

Li Baolu walked into the kitchen, and there was a woman sitting in it. When she saw Li Baolu, she stood up quickly, and said with a smile, "Miss, is cooking? I just killed the chicken for you, and I will go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables for you." Now, do you see what else you need?"

"Vegetables and chicken are enough," Li Baolu said with a smile, "We also brought some things."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly helped Li Baolu clean the pot and light the fire. Seeing her making the kitchen dusty, Li Baolu stopped her and said, "Don't worry about it, Auntie. I can do all these things. Go and rest first. We'll have our dinner." Just do it."

Shun Xin happened to bring white rice, so Li Baolu washed the rice and cooked it, and then deftly cut open the chicken, she looked even more skilled than a woman.

The woman glanced at Li Baolu, and saw that she was wearing a blue top, the material looked average, she pouted, she turned out to be a girl.

The woman wiped her hands and went out, just in time to see five children coming here talking and laughing, she couldn't help frowning, "Zhaodi, let your brother go outside at such a late hour, in case you get sick from the wind what to do?"

She pulled Xiaobao's hand and touched her hand distressedly: "Good boy, you are more than playful. The weather has been bad these two days. If you catch a cold, you need to drink bitter medicine. Go back to the house with your mother."

Standing up and looking at the four daughters standing in rows, they frowned, "There isn't much water in the water tank, Zhaodi, you go get some water back, Laidi, you go to the kitchen to help the distinguished guests, sweeten your mouth, if you get it You are allowed to eat a cornbread tomorrow morning, Pan Di, you go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables for your father, our vegetable garden doesn’t have many fresh vegetables, don’t let your father pick too much, take Di,” she still has a snot in her eyes The youngest daughter, the woman frowned even tighter, "You go into the house to play with Xiaobao, you are not allowed to bully your brother, you know?"

The five or six-year-old girl nodded timidly, and led her brother back to the house.

Li Baolu in the kitchen was almost unable to hold the kitchen knife in her hand, her face was a little gloomy.

Such a name is no longer used in the small mountain village where she went to support education in her previous life, but she did not expect to hear the gathering here today.

Shun Xin didn't know why his wife was suddenly in a bad mood, and hurriedly said: "Madam, who do you think is the person staying in front of us today?"

"Who is it?" Li Baolu calmed down, soaked the dried mushrooms, cut them into pieces and piled them into the chicken belly, added other seasonings, then sewed the chicken together, sprinkled it with salt and steamed it in the pot.

"It's from outside the region. It is said that they have high noses and deep eyes. They live with a group of people from the Jianghu. I heard that they are famous knights in the Western Regions. So there are knights in the Western Regions?"
