The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

   Chapter 400 Disfigurement (two more)

   "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 small noodle restaurant on the second floor.

   The location of the noodle restaurant is a bit remote. If it is not for people who are familiar with the area, Shen Yijia probably will not be able to find it.

  Xiao Ruo got out of the car, looked at the word "noodle shop" on the shop with a heavy gaze, 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 a few of them have not returned. Xiao Ruoshui also said that he would not take the carriage of the General’s Mansion, so the carriage was rented.

   is 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.

  I haven't figured out why Xiao Ruoshui wants to bring her here all the way. 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..."

  I didn't want 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 words you agreed, you can count them." Shen Yijia handed the copper plate to the driver.

   Coachman: …

   Xiao Ruoshui's mouth twitched: No, then should she return her money?

   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 gave Shen Yijia a contemptuous look, 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 shop, 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 chatting, there was the sound of sucking noodles.

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

  Xiao Ruoshui has never eaten anything delicious, how could she have come all the way up early for such a bowl of noodles, Shen Yijia is even more sure that she is not just here 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 can't be 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 asked Xiao Qirui who that woman was and where she was.

   But Xiao Qirui refused to say anything even when he was beaten by General Xiao.

   Xiao Qirui grew up in a military camp. One is the most disciplined and disciplined person.

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

   With 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 what Xiao Qirui would do.

   You have to know that Xiao Qirui had already reached the crown last year. The girl of the Yuan family wanted to be filial, and he didn’t want to delay him. He also sent a message to the General’s Mansion to propose to retire. It was Xiao Qirui who personally told the person who came to communicate that he could wait.

   Said this not because he had feelings for the Yuan family girl, but because he was a man of great promises.

   But now, seeing how he protects the woman so tightly, not to say that he broke his promise, this is because he would rather turn against his family and guard his love.

   It's only been so long, the entire Xiao family has already become a gloomy cloud 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 Ruoyan, don't be too proud of that little bitch.

   Seeing the appearance of the house, Xiao Ruoshui was in a hurry.

  She knew this place because she forced a follower by Xiao Qirui's side 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, so he no longer had this 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 goes all the way to the end." The attendant was spanked, lying on the bed crying and complaining to Xiao Ruoshui.

  While the two of them were whispering, a woman in a cloth dress and an apron came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles.

  Looking at her figure alone, 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 of them.

   Usually people who come here to eat noodles are people who live nearby. In addition, the people living in the south of the city are not rich. The clothes of Shen Yijia and the two are incompatible with this place.

  The woman paused for a while, wiped her apron with her hands a little 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 here today just to see who is the holy man who can fascinate Xiao Qirui, not to eat noodles.

   Shen Yijia did not speak, she was not picky eater.

  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 guy, 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 eating.

   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 dresses well, but also looks good.

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

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

  Uncle Li had no doubts 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 her hometown, so she originally came to the capital with her family to defect to her 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 how good she looks, I want to sell her to such a rude place.

  Fortunately, he was rescued by a passing nobleman. That nobleman is a real good person. After saving the person, he also borrowed money for Man Yatou to set up a shop here to do business.

  Many girl is shrewd and diligent, many people came to say kisses to her, the original marriage is almost 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 is rhythmic, with ups and downs.

   She seemed to see a woman's tortuous life, which made her feel a little overwhelmed with sympathy, and in the end, it suffocated people's appetite again.

   Uncle Li gave Shen Yijia a strange look, and Shen Yijia immediately hung up a smile.

   heard him continue: "It's not a secret, see the veil on Mangirl's face, right? 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. He 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, it’s just a bowl of noodles, and it’s not impossible to eat at home.

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

   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 meal 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:…

   Shortly after the two left, Feng Manman came out with two bowls of noodles, but she didn't see anyone, she looked around the lobby in confusion.

   At this time, the guests in the lobby are almost gone, and there is only one man who looks 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 were copper plates 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 pick up a lot of money 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 in Feng Manman's hand and explained, "You've been tired all morning, I'll just do it myself."

"How tiring can you be wiping sweat." Feng Manman retorted in a low voice, and seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to say so, so nervous that his almond eyes became misty, and changed the subject and said, "I'm fine, my uncle's family no longer dares to say so. Come to trouble me."

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

   Feng Manman paused, 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 he withdrew his 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 did you see today?"

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

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

   Feng Manman shook his head: "Nothing was said."

   Thinking of something, she reached out and stroked 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.

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

   After she finished speaking, she glanced at the hand that was grasped by the man's thick big, and lowered her eyes, "I'm 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 would sell her body as a slave to become 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, he gave her some money to let her settle down.

   Feng Manman tweeted that Xiao Qirui didn't take it to heart.

   Later, I accidentally passed by and saw someone making trouble in a noodle restaurant, and only then did I know that it was opened by her with the money he gave, and the troublemaker 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.

  Originally, the relationship between the two 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 and was seriously injured. When he was running away, 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 city guard 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, he was dismissed because of disfigurement.

  Xiao Qirui looked at the girl in front of her who had suffered so much but still maintained a kind heart, and she felt quite uncomfortable.

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

   Feng Manman was a little embarrassed to see it, so he broke free a few times and pulled out his hand.

   "By the way, wait a minute."

   She turned 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: "A lot of progress."

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

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

  ——

   Thank you 878368047 for your reward and love you.
