Fragrant willow catkins

Chapter 4: Let's kill some time

Ningxu was not a girl from the brothel, so no one stopped the man from bringing her out. After a while, they left Chunjiangyue and came to a bridge.

"How long are you going to hold me?"

After hearing this, Ningxu pulled herself out of the man's arms with all her strength. Tsk, she didn't want to be hugged yet.

The man was helpless when he saw her arrogant look. This woman was too weird. "Come closer."

"What are you doing?!" Ning Xu clasped her hands in front of herself and looked at the man in shock.

The man shook his head, walked closer to Ningxu, and reached out to touch Ningxu's left cheek. Ningxu felt that she was possessed by a ghost, and she could let a grown man touch her in the street. There was no way, this man looked too much like Li Jinze, she really couldn't refuse.

After a while, Ningxu felt a chill on her left cheek. She ran to the river and saw a five-centimeter scar on her left jaw. "What did you do?"

The man walked up to her and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm doing this for your own good. Your face is too pretty and it will bring you a lot of trouble. Don't worry, this scar can be removed. If you want, I'm always here to help you." This woman was too pretty and looked stupid, so it would be easy for someone to take advantage of her.

Ningxu: "You... are so nice to me?" Ningxu looked at the man suspiciously.

"I think you're being stupid."

"Tsk." "Hey, give me a name." Ning Xu raised her eyebrows at the man.

"You don't have a name?"

"Yes, but I don't really want to use it."

New world, new name. Pretty reliable, right?

"Let's call her Rumeng." It was like a dream, and the origin of this woman was too strange. If he hadn't been busy, he would have followed her to find out. And this woman was as beautiful as the fairy in his dream, so he pressed a scar on Ningxu's face, which was an unintentional possessiveness and also his selfishness. In this way, whenever Ningxu wanted to remove the scar, she would come to him, and this was also an opportunity for him to meet again.

Ningxu: "As if in a dream...OK!"

Seeing that everything was done, the man took one last look at Ningxu and turned away.

Ningxu's gaze moved from the water surface to the man's back, "Li Jinze!"

The man stopped and turned around. "What?"

Ning Xu looked at him without saying anything. The man seemed to sense her uneasiness. "Don't worry, I will come to see you again."

Ningxu paused and said, "No, I want to ask if you have any money. I am penniless now and I don't want to sleep on the street."

"......" The man's face turned greener and he threw a purse over. "I've really had enough of you." After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.

Ningxu took the purse and opened it to take a look. She didn't understand the prices of goods in this era, but it looked like the money in the purse was enough for her to live for a while. It's great to have a second Li Jinze! Ningxu went shopping happily.

The man turned into an alley, where there was a man waiting for him. The man looked much older than him, and was wearing clothes similar to those of a butler.

"So, what did you find from those two people?"

"My Lord, there is nothing, but judging from his body shape and appearance, he doesn't look like a Central Plains person."

"Heh, after a few years of peace, there are constant small movements again. It seems that if we don't take care of the border areas, there will be rebellions again."

"Master, what you said makes sense."

"Let's go back to the palace. I want to see if I can still control this court."

There were so many new things in this capital city. Ningxu was wearing expensive clothes, just like a young lady who had sneaked out of the house to play. After getting tired from shopping, Ningxu found a small restaurant that she liked and had a meal.

"Boss! Can we eat now?"

"Come on, come on. Sure enough, miss." A middle-aged man came out from the back. He was about the same age as Ningxu's father and looked very honest and simple.

Ningxu: "Just give me two of your signature dishes. I'm so hungry."

"Okay, miss, please sit for a moment, the food will be ready soon!" After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen.

Ningxu saw that there was no one in the store, so she stood up and looked around the store carefully.

Although the shop was small, it was kept very clean. Ningxu noticed a staircase in the yard and it looked like there was a place to stay. She had nowhere to go, so she decided to ask the boss after she finished eating.

When the dishes came, Ningxu ate them all in one go.

Judging from her appearance, she probably hasn't eaten for a few days. Indeed, she has been in a state of lethargy since Li Jinze passed away. Every time it's mealtime, she just eats a few mouthfuls casually, and lets her longing for him grow wildly, sitting at the dining table thinking about Li Jinze.

Now she has traveled through time and space and there is no one to take care of her. Ningxu can only cheer herself up and figure out the rules of this world first, and then think of a way to go back. If she can't go back, she has to find a job in this world that will allow her to survive.

She was so exhausted that she had no energy to reminisce about Li Jinze.

Li Jinze? ​​That's right! Ningxu suddenly touched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming it. Fortunately, the half piece of jade that Li Jinze gave her was still on her.

Seeing her like this, the boss thought there was something wrong with the food he cooked, and asked quickly, "Miss, what's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

Ningxu: "Ah, no, no, I just suddenly remembered something. By the way, boss, can I stay here?"

"Sure, it's on the second floor."

Ningxu took out a silver ingot from her purse and handed it to the boss, "Boss, I'll give you the rent first."

"Girl, this is too much. You don't need so much." The boss pushed the silver back with his palm.

"It's okay! I have to stay a few more days." Ning Xu put the silver in the boss's hand and pulled the boss to sit down. "Boss, I want to ask you something."

"Girl, feel free to ask whatever you want to ask. I, He, will tell you everything I know."

Ningxu: "Boss He, right? I want to ask, what dynasty is it now? Who is the emperor? I fell on the road before, and I can't remember some things."

Boss He: "This is the Tianle Dynasty of Yonghe Continent. The emperor is 21 this year. As for his name, we ordinary people are not allowed to mention it. Miss, are you okay now? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Ningxu: "I'm fine, I'm in good health! So how is the emperor's ability to govern the country?"

Boss He: "That's great! The emperor ascended the throne when he was young. Don't look at his young age, but he governs the country wisely and loves the people like his own children. Although he looks gentle and polite, the important officials in the court are in awe of him. He is simply a lucky star for our Yonghe Continent!"

Such a big compliment... Ningxu thought, now she mainly needs to figure out the reason why she traveled through time, and then find a way to go back based on the reason. In fact, she doesn't have many relatives in the modern world. If she gets along well here, she doesn't need to go back. But she can't let go of Mo Sheng, this giant baby.

Ning Xu: "By the way, Boss He, my name is Rumeng, please don't call me Miss, just call me Rumeng, I will have to bother you for a while these days."
