Chapter 40
Chapter 40
When Chi Ruo woke up, Xiao Lian was sleeping soundly next to him.The carriage had already started moving, and there was the slow creaking sound of the wheels.
Hua Ziyao sat beside him, reading a book with relish, saw him wake up, looked up at Xiao Lian, and said to Chi Ruo: "The child is not awake, what do you want to eat?"
Chi Ruo thought for a while, "Plum cake."
Hua Ziyao got up to get him plum cake and water.
Chi Ruo turned over and saw the book that Hua Ziyao had casually put down. He was a little curious and stood up to take a look.
With just such a glance, Chi Ruo shrank back with a flushed face, and hid in the bed, Hua Ziyao looked at it so seriously, unexpectedly it was that kind of content!
When Hua Ziyao brought the plum cake with water on a plate, she found that Chi Ruo had crawled into bed again, thinking that he had closed his eyes and rested his mind again.
Hua Ziyao picked up the book, and found that this pose was something she had just read, and after careful consideration, she thought it was feasible, and she could also appreciate the different style of the person below... Caught it out.
I don't know if it was because of being bored in bed for a long time, or because his face was flushed from looking at the picture, when Chi Ruo was caught, he floated past Hua Ziyao with a guilty conscience, and looked at the rickety car roof that had nothing left.
Hua Ziyao chuckled, but didn't expose it, "Oh, why does the deity always like to turn to this page?"
Chi Ruo hesitated and said, "When you put it down just now, it closed a few pages."
Hua Ziyao looked at Chiruo with interest for a while, only to let him go when Chiruo was about to get under the bed again, and changed the subject, "Get up and have breakfast."
Xiao Lian was awakened by the scent of the plum cake, squinted his eyes, followed the scent and crawled over to lean on his father, making Hua Ziyao burst into laughter.
His father fed him a small piece, and he swallowed it whole again, and then slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to stare at his father with wide eyes, and tightly grasped the clothes on his chest.
Chi Ruo was a little puzzled, "What's wrong? Chest pain?"
After all, she wanted to take off his clothes, wanting to see his chest.
Hua Ziyao had no choice but to step forward and picked up Xiao Lian, "I'll take him to wash his face, you eat first."
"But..." Chi Ruo worried, chest pain is not a trivial matter.
Xiao Lian's voice crossed Hua Ziyao's shoulders, comforting his father, "Daddy, I'm not, it's not that my chest hurts. It's just, it's just a little, a little cold!"
"Really?" Chi Ruo was puzzled, is Leng like that?But he still worried, "Wait a minute, wash your face, and add another piece of clothes."
"Okay." Xiaolian replied obediently.
……
The old coachman said that judging from the current speed of the carriage, it would take half a month to reach the capital.
Hua Ziyao asked the old coachman to take some shortcuts, and it took about ten days to arrive.
These few days, Xiao Lian didn't eat much food, he hugged the plum cake all day long and licked and licked.Chi Ruo blamed Hua Ziyao in private, "Didn't you tell me that I only bought three packs?"
Hua Ziyao nodded, "Yes!"
Chi Ruo said: "I have counted the past few days, except for the three packs, Xiao Lian has already eaten three more packs."
Of course Hua Ziyao would not tell him that she actually bought ten packs, so besides the three packs and five packs, there are still two packs, which can be used on the blade!
Chi Ruo was a little worried, "He likes to eat that plum cake so much, but he doesn't like to eat, how can he keep healthy?"
While talking, he glared at Hua Ziyao again.
Hua Ziyao raised her eyebrows, being glared at by such a pair of peach blossom eyes, she really gave birth to a certain flair for no reason.
However, Hua Ziyao quietly found Xiao Lian who was licking the box. Seeing him coming, Xiao Lian said, "Give me the remaining two boxes together, lest Daddy find out."
Hua Ziyao said seriously: "I will give you the remaining two boxes in the capital."
Xiao Lian was startled and said, "Aren't you going to renege on your debt?"
Hua Ziyao shook her head, "I won't renege on my debt. First, there is no plum cake from Muzhou in the capital, so you have to save some to eat, or you will lose it; second, you have eaten too much plum cake in the past few days, and you don't want to eat. , it’s not good for your health; thirdly, if your health is not good, your father will worry, this is the most important point, don’t let your father worry.” Then blame me!This is very damaging to the relationship!
Xiao Lian thought for a while, and it seemed that he was obsessed with plum cakes these days. He licked the box of plum cakes for the last time, then threw it away, wiped his mouth, and clapped his hands, "Okay, I don't eat like that Yes, but you can't take your word for it."
Hua Ziyao smiled and nodded, "Of course."
So Xiao Lian's diet returned to normal, and the plum cake that was once popular in this luxury carriage disappeared.
Hua Ziyao hid the plum cake in the interlayer of the carriage roof, which was very safe.
Ten days later, the capital arrived.
The capital city is at the foot of the emperor, and there are very close exchanges between all parties. There are large and small shops, and the streets are full of people rubbing shoulders, which is very lively.
To be honest, since Chiruo came to the mortal world, he has only been to Ruicheng and Muzhou, and he has not visited some towns or state capitals on the way.
Now in the capital, when he was in Muzhou, he and Hua Ziyao were walking down the street with Xiao Lian, and many people would keep looking back and whispering... But in the capital, there are too many people, and everyone cares about themselves Naturally, no one will look at others more.
No one would care about the combination of a monk, a coquettish young man in red, and a white and cute child.
The scene of a man walking by with a donkey on his back will cause people to laugh a few times, and then they will go their separate ways in silence.
Xiao Lian seemed to be the first time to see so many people, the first time to such a lively place, looking around, running left and right, wanting this and that.
Chi Ruo has no money, but Hua Ziyao has it.
At times like this, Xiao Lian obediently led Hua Ziyao around the shops he was interested in, lingering on his shoulders.
Looking at this scene, Chi Ruo felt a little strange, he remembered that Xiao Lian didn't like Hua Ziyao very much, but now they get along so well.And this strange feeling existed a few days ago, and it seemed that the two had reached a tacit understanding without him knowing.
Chi Ruo was a little puzzled, but soon he also looked away. Didn't the two get along very well in line with his wishes?
If you spend every day in quarrels and cold wars, and you are caught in the middle, that is the real discomfort, and you don't know which one to appease first.
Hua Ziyao has booked an inn, which is the best Kerugui inn in Beijing, and the best first-class room in Kerugui.
Hua Ziyao ordered the relatively bland but well-received dishes in the inn, and ordered the inn clerk to prepare them and bring them to the room.
Chi Ruo asked Xiao Lian to take off his clothes and prepare to take a bath.Xiao Lian, however, seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, he grabbed his clothes tightly and refused to take off his clothes.
Chi Ruo frowned, "Xiao Lian, why don't you listen to Daddy?"
When Xiao Lian heard Chi Ruo's reproachful but helpless voice, tears welled up in his eyes, "Daddy..."
Hua Ziyao ordered the food, went upstairs and entered the door, and saw such a scene: the child was sitting by the bed, clutching the clothes on his chest, tearful and wronged, Chi Ruo stood aside, licking his lips. The lips were a little angry and a little helpless.
"What's the matter?" He walked in and closed the door, already understanding a little bit in his heart, but still broke the deadlock with a smile.
When Xiao Lian saw Hua Ziyao coming in, he seemed to see a savior, "Bad guy, let's go out and play!"
Hua Ziyao walked over and shook her head, "No, I will have dinner in a while."
Xiaolian's face collapsed immediately, he raised his head to look at Chiruo, and gently pulled Chiruo's sleeve, "Daddy, I won't take a bath, okay?"
Chi Ruo shook his head, "After driving for several days, you have been refusing to take a bath. There is a big bathtub in the room today, why don't you go and take a bath?"
Xiao Lian still refused, "I don't want to wash it!"
Chi Ruo said in a deep voice, "If you don't wash, don't sleep next to me tonight."
Xiao Lian immediately said: "I sleep next to the bad guy!"
Chi Ruo glared at Hua Ziyao.
The "bad guy" lying innocently on the gun touched his nose, "But I want to sleep next to your father!"
Hua Ziyao thought for a while and added: "Sleep outside."
Xiao Lian's reaction was extremely quick: "You sleep in the middle."
Hua Ziyao immediately shook her head, "It's not okay for any of you to fall off the bed."
Xiao Lian immediately rolled on the bed, "The bed is so big, it won't fall off!"
Chi Ruo quickly hugged Xiao Lian, "You have so much mud on your body, why are you still rolling on the bed?"
Xiao Lian hugged Chiruo's neck, feeling that his father seemed to be really angry, and said in a soft voice, "Daddy, I'm sorry."
Chi Ruowen said softly: "It's okay, tell Dad why you don't want to take a bath?"
Xiao Lian looked at Hua Ziyao, then at Chi Ruo, curled his mouth, so anxious that he wanted to cry.
Hua Ziyao had no choice but to say, "Because I didn't let him tell you."
If Chi hadn't said anything, the moment Xiao Lian looked at Hua Ziyao just now, he already knew somewhat in his heart that this had something to do with Hua Ziyao.
Hua Ziyao continued: "I gave him the talisman."
"Where?" Chi Ruo asked.
"Here." Xiao Lian propped himself up and pointed to his heart.
"Does it hurt?" Chi Ruo felt a little distressed, but he still didn't stop Hua Ziyao.
Xiao Lian shook his head, smiled through his tears, "It doesn't hurt at all, Daddy, I don't feel it."
Chi Ruo was silent for a while, then said, "Now, are you willing to take a bath?"
How could Xiao Lian still be unwilling, nodded hastily, "Daddy, wash it for me."
Chi Ruo went inside with Xiao Lian in his arms, and the first-class room, which is like home, is indeed very luxurious. There is a single large bathtub in the room, with continuous hot water supply, and various fragrances and flower petals are arranged in an orderly manner.
The clerk saw that they had children, and prepared the children's bath toys in advance. Xiao Lian had a great time playing, and of course showed Chi Ruozhi his little red bird.
Chiruo made a comparison and found that they were all similar, with only a slight difference. He asked Xiao Lian again if he felt any discomfort.
Xiao Lian shook his head.
Chi Ruo could barely relax.
Hua Ziyao sat outside, made the bed by herself, and waited for the waiter to bring the food.
He gritted his teeth in his heart, this brat didn't intend to hide from his father from the beginning, and even planned to attract his father's attention with abnormal behavior early the next morning, but he was interrupted by himself, without success.
Later, she refused to take a bath, implying in every possible way that Hua Ziyao saw her tricks, just to prevent the little brat from having the slightest chance.
However, I still said it.
It would be better for him to say it himself, don't tell him if he finds out, I'm afraid he will really get angry.
Hua Ziyao had never thought that he was a dignified old man and the owner of the pavilion almost never fought a kid. Fortunately, he abandoned the car in the end to protect the handsome man. If he was later ordered, he might be blamed, but the most he could say was nothing more.
Hua Ziyao thought bitterly, if she had known, she would not have given the jade talisman to that brat!
