across mountains and seas

After Jing Lan and Liu Xi brought everyone back to Haicheng, Aunt Hong prepared a table of delicious dishes in person, and everyone took a seat together.

"Come on, try Aunt Hong's cooking!" Aunt Hong proudly picked up a chopstick of roasted meat and put it in the Liuxi bowl, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I've lost a lot of weight. I need to eat more meat these days."

Liu Xi was overwhelmed by the flattery, before she could reply, she heard Aunt Hong continue: "Come back this time, let's do all the important things."

Jing Huan held his job bowl and asked with a smile, "What's the big deal?"

Aunt Hong glanced at Jing Yuan sideways, "A Yuan, everything is done?"

Jing Yuan smiled mysteriously, "Mother, don't worry, I'm counting the day to do it, and now everything is ready and I just wait for the auspicious day." After finishing speaking, he turned around Jing Huan beside him, "Xiao Si, tomorrow you go to the dock for a while. Come on, Uncle Qin will tell you what to do."

Jing Huan asked in surprise, "Is it related to me?"

"Ah Yuan, the surprise that we promised, if you go on, it won't be called a surprise." Jin Lingdang kicked Jing Yuan under the table, took advantage of the opportunity to grab a piece of roast chicken and put it in Jing Yuan's bowl, "This is my specialty." dish, try it."

Jing Yuan smirked and nodded, looking at Jin Lingdang with tenderness and happiness in his eyes, "Ling Dang is right, I forgot about it for a while."

"Du-yes." Shen Jiangli joked, looked at Jing Lan and Liu Xi quite complacently, and repeated, "Du-yes."

Both Jing Yuan and Jing Lan are thin-skinned people. Although Shen Jiangli only said two words, both of them clearly understood the deep meaning.

Everything your sweetheart says is right.

The two of them thought of this sentence at the same time, their ears suddenly burned, and they quietly lowered their eyebrows and glanced at their sweethearts.

The most mellow wine in the world is not a century-old wine, but a sweetheart who happens to know this little idea and sends a tender smile at the right time.

Jing Yuan and Jing Lan's hearts instantly became intoxicated.

The corners of Liu Xi's lips raised slightly, and he said angrily from the bottom of his heart: "Little thief." She didn't know that there was a bit of shyness in her smile.

Jing Huan suddenly felt that the rice in the bowl was no longer delicious. He was obviously not the youngest in the family, but he became the last one when it came to finding his sweetheart.

Xue Qingxian seemed to have gotten used to Jing Lan and Liu Xi's flirting, and each of them took a piece of fish and fed it into his mouth, quietly savoring the deliciousness of the sea fish.

"Xiao Wu, don't be dumb, try this quickly." Aunt Hong picked up a shrimp for Jing Lan, and said in a warm voice, "When you get home, rest at ease, and the wound will heal quickly."

"Mother, actually I'm going back this time..."

"Let's talk about it after dinner."

Aunt Hong interrupted Jing Lan and motioned her to eat first.

Jing Lan smiled dumbly, and could only follow Aunt Hong's words and eat obediently.

Aunt Hong picked up the bowl, and glanced at the three children in the hall with a smile. She smiled slightly, and thought of that child Jing Tan again.

If he hadn't gone astray, if she could teach him better, her A-Tan must be here too, to have this reunion dinner with her.

"Mother, don't just eat plain rice."

Jing Lan's voice suddenly sounded, and she smiled and gave her a chopstick of fish.

Jing Yuan and Jing Huan saw it, how could they fall behind Jing Lan?Immediately each took a chopstick and put it into Aunt Hong's bowl, "Mother eats too."

Aunt Hong's eyes were slightly red, she choked up and said: "Okay, mother eats, mother eats."

"Try this too..."

"and this!"

Liu Xi also held a chopstick for Aunt Hong, and Jin Lingdang helped Aunt Hong stand up with her slightly protruding belly, and also held Aunt Hong's chopsticks.Here Xue Qingxian smiled lightly, it was the first time that the family banquet was so interesting.

It's funny and warm, which makes people envious from the bottom of their hearts.

Shen Jiangli glanced at Aunt Hong's bowl, which was already full of big fish and meat. She hurriedly swept the dishes, picked up three bean sprouts, put them slowly in the gap, and said with a smile: "Taste, taste."

Aunt Hong couldn't help laughing, "You each have one chopstick, are you trying to support me to death?" After finishing speaking, she frowned slightly, raised her parental airs, and urged, "If you don't eat any more, the food will be cold."

Several people laughed and sat back to their seats. Those who served the wine poured the wine, and those who put in the vegetables put in the vegetables. The family banquet became lively in an instant.

Aunt Hong shook her head and smiled wryly, but her heart was happy as if she had received the most precious gift in the world.Even if it was an ordinary meal, she felt it was more delicious than any delicacies after eating it today.

After eating and drinking.

Xue Qingxian was worried that Cui Shiniang was alone in the backyard, so she said goodbye first and went back to accompany Cui Shiniang.

Jin Lingdang was pregnant for the first time, and she had a lot of questions to ask, so she dragged Shen Jiangli back to the room to talk in detail.

Liu Xi beckoned to Jing Huan, and when Jing Huan approached, she asked in a low voice: "Where is Liu Qiu..."

"I'll take care of things, Sister Baili, don't worry." Jing Huan no longer patted his chest proudly like in the past, and his tone was much more stable than before, "Ke Island also has guards on patrol, and there are many agencies. Miss Liu lives there, you Don't worry." After finishing speaking, he thought again, "I also sent delicious food over tonight, so you can eat well and keep warm!"

Liu Xi blinked in surprise, she didn't expect Jing Huan to be so considerate in handling things now, "Xiaosi has grown up."

Jing Huan scratched his head embarrassingly, "It's time to grow up." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the sky outside, "I'm going to watch the fire on the Zhubingtai. There are many things to be built during this period of time. Less, the fire can’t be lowered.” After he finished speaking, he cupped his fists respectfully to Liu Xi, and then went to Zhubingtai.

After watching Jing Huan go away, Liu Xi looked back at the three people in the hall——Jing Lan briefly explained the planned layout, while Jing Yuan and Aunt Hong were silent in thought.

Liu Xi walked over, sat next to Jing Lan, looked at Aunt Hong, "Aunt Hong, what's wrong?"

"The auspicious day will be on the fifteenth day of the next month." After Jing Yuan sighed, he glanced at Jing Lan.

Jing Lan was taken aback for a moment, "What auspicious day?"

Aunt Hong tapped Jing Lan on the forehead, "What auspicious day are you talking about?"

Jing Lan was stunned, her heart pounding like a deer, and she looked at Liu Xi who was beside her in surprise and joy.

Liu Xi's cheeks blushed, "It's... all ready?"

Aunt Hong took her hand, and said seriously: "If you don't give you a title, you will be gossiping if you run around with Xiao Wu all day like this."

Jing Yuan nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect Yun Ji to be such a person with evil intentions. Alas, Xiao Wu, you are just waiting on a tree and waiting for rabbits. I'm afraid it will delay your marriage with Sister Baili."

"It's still 27 days away, if you can..." Aunt Hong looked at Jing Lan and then at Liu Xi, as if she was waiting for the two of them to answer.

Jing Lan and Liu Xi looked at each other, what Jing Yuan said was correct.They didn't know when Yunji would come, so they just kept waiting for this marriage and it would only be delayed again and again.

"I must drink this wedding wine!" Youyou walked over from outside, dusted the corner of her skirt at the door, and then walked in with a smile.

Liu Xi asked with concern: "How?"

Youyou turned the pipe, sat down on the chair, let out a long and comfortable breath, and then slowly took out an IOU from his pocket, "Give me a knot first?"

Jing Lan took the IOU, frowned and said, "Wangyun Tower... 100 taels for meals?"

"I can't catch up with your reunion dinner, so I ate casually on the side of the road, just..." Youyou blinked innocently, "The little governor shouldn't be so stingy, right?"

Wangyunlou is a well-known restaurant in East Fuzhou, with branches in many towns, definitely not a roadside stall.

Liu Xi took the IOU from Jing Lan's hand, and said in a sincere voice: "The knot will definitely be tied to you."

"I will definitely take care of things for you!" Youyou sat up straight, crossed her legs triumphantly, and glanced at the teacup on the table.

Liu Xi suppressed a smile, brewed a cup of tea for her with her own hands, and brought it to Youyou, "Miss Youyou, please."

Youyou was overwhelmed by the flattery, quickly took the teacup, and said seriously: "She didn't follow us."

Liu Xi asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"

Youyou took a few mouthfuls of hot tea, took a sip of tea soup, nodded and replied, "Bailixi, I didn't eat your meal for nothing."

Along the way eastward, she would use the beast-controlling technique to inquire about Yunji's whereabouts from birds and beasts every day.The whole journey was calm and uneventful, which more and more confirmed their previous conjecture that Yunji must have gone to hide to refine the spirit weapon again because the spirit weapon was damaged in the battle with the third elder.

Thinking faintly, she found Yunji's trace that night, and she said that she was found by using the technique of controlling beasts.Youyou knows the art of controlling beasts, and Jing Lan also knows the art of controlling beasts.Therefore, if Yun Ji wanted to cultivate the spirit weapon again, she would definitely find a very secret place to practice.But the creatures in the world penetrate everywhere, whether Yunji hides in the mountains or in caves, the birds and beasts in the mountains will definitely see her traces.Man can lie, but creatures cannot.Before entering Haicheng today, Youyou rode alone into the forest as usual, and used the beast control technique to inquire about Yunji's whereabouts. As in the past, none of the birds and beasts in the mountains had seen Yunji.Seeing that it was getting late, she must have missed the family banquet, so she rode to a nearby town, found a comfortable restaurant, and ate happily.

This is called interest.

Youyou flowers feel at ease.

Jing Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "This marriage should be possible." The matter went back to the original important matter.

Youyou said with a faint smile: "Eat and wipe away your sweet pastries earlier, lest there will be little Humei thinking about it." After finishing speaking, the pipe lightly poked Liu Xi's shoulder, "You say, don't you?"

These words hit Liu Xi's heart, indeed.

"Then..." Liu Xi slightly lowered her eyebrows, "Wait until the 27th..."

Jing Lan was ecstatic, and suddenly she was so happy that she didn't know what to say, but she couldn't hold back her smile at all, and her smile was extremely stupid.

"Take good care of your wounds. You can't walk with a limp like this on your wedding day." Aunt Hong reminded her earnestly, looking at Jing Yuan, "A Yuan, you are from here, teach Xiao Wu more."

Jing Yuanjun blushed, "Okay..."

Jing Lan felt her heart burn when she heard it, and said seriously, "You don't need to teach."

"Will you?" Youyou asked with a smile.

"Why not?" Jing Lan replied casually.

Youyou smiled meaningfully: "It turns out...a long time ago..."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I won't help you settle the bill!" Jing Lan quickly took out the IOU from Liu Xi's hand, and shook it in front of Youyou.

somehow?It was clearly just an ordinary piece of paper, but it was stained with Liuxi's remaining warmth, and Jing Lan actually felt that the IOU was a little hot when pinched between her fingers.

"bass!"

This time it was Aunt Hong who took the IOU from Jing Lan's hand, and she said in a solemn voice: "I, a mother, will settle the debt, but I have some words..."

Youyou made a gesture to cover her mouth, and promised: "I will definitely not talk nonsense!"

Liu Xi looked at her sideways calmly, raised the corners of her eyebrows, "I believe...she won't." The last four words were clearly a naked threat.

Youyou felt a chill hit her vest, "No! Definitely not!"

After everything was settled, Youyou was tired after running around for half a day, so she said goodbye first and went back to her residence.

Jing Lan's wound has healed a lot, but she still staggers a little when walking.On weekdays, she used a wooden cart to travel, but Jing Yuan pushed her out of the front hall first.

Liu Xi wanted to keep up with Jing Lan, but Aunt Hong pulled her sleeves, signaling that she had something to say.

"Don't be afraid, I will make the decision for you."

Liu Xi was taken aback.

Aunt Hong moved closer to Liu Xi, lowered her voice and said, "It's me, the mother, who didn't teach well, and I've wronged you."

"Actually, she..."

"I understand that young people are always full of blood."

After finishing speaking, Aunt Hong subconsciously glanced at Liu Xi's lower abdomen.

Liu Xi said seriously: "No!"

"It's okay, Ling Dang is pregnant these days, and I have a lot of things at home." Aunt Hong smiled complicatedly, "Sooner or later, I will be able to use it."

"Aunt Hong!" Liu Xi felt ashamed up to her ears.

Aunt Hong laughed and waved her hands, "Okay, okay, don't talk, go and rest."

How dare Liu Xi stay in the hall?

Youyou's nonsense made both Aunt Hong and Jing Yuan misunderstand. It is really hard to explain, and the description is getting darker and darker.

Jing Lan didn't do much better here either.

Jing Yuan pushed her and walked not slowly. After turning into the long corridor, Jing Yuan saw that there was no one around, and couldn't help but said: "Xiao Wu, you kid, you bully people before you get married."

"Xi'er and I..." Jing Lan hurriedly defended.

"You still have the nerve to say it!" Jing Yuan sighed, "The first time I used brute strength must have hurt her, but this time the bridal chamber flowers and candles should be gentler, if you don't know it, you can come and ask the third brother."

Jing Lan's cheeks were hot, "Third Brother!"

"Cough cough." Liu Xi heard it clearly, and could only cough twice, indicating that she was not far behind.

Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Sister Baili, don't worry, I'll help you teach Xiao Wu a lesson."

"I have something to say, and I want to say it to Alan alone." Liu Xi still had a shame on his face, and his voice seemed to be three points lower than usual.

Jing Yuan seemed to "understand", "Alright, I'm going to accompany Ling Dang." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and gave Jing Lan a wink, "Xiao Wu, please coax her well."

Jing Lan smiled helplessly and could only nod her head.

Jing Yuan patted Jing Lan on the shoulder three times, and quickly left the corridor.

Liu Xi slowly approached Jing Lan.

Jing Lan stretched out her hand to hold her, only to realize that her palm was very hot, "What did mother tell you?"

Liu Xi was ashamed and annoyed, "They all thought I belonged to you, what do you think should I do?"

There were two small swirls on her face, and Jing Lan's wide-open eyebrows were extremely warm. She smiled softly and held her tightly, "I'll marry you!"

The author has something to say: This time it's the misunderstood Xiaowu+Xi'er.

Xiao Wu: (OS) Hey, everyone knows that Xi'er is mine this time!

Liu Xi: (OS) I don’t know who belongs to whom, little thief~
