Someone stood in front of the sparse fence. He had dark skin and his hair was tied randomly on his head with a wooden hairpin. A few strands of hair were hanging down. They were already a little gray. He had an angry look on his face and stared fiercely at the people outside the fence.
Visitors.
Xuan Jinyan stared blankly at the visitor, her eyes blank, but she couldn't utter a single word.
"Who?!" An old, hoarse voice, accompanied by a few coughs, and another person came out, "What are you yelling at? How can anyone be in such a wilderness-"
There seemed to be two worlds inside and outside the fence, both of which had temporarily lost the ability to speak.
"When I see General Tong's wife, I still don't kneel down and salute." A close confidant said sternly.
To them, Feng Dazhu was just a slave not worth caring about.
Feng Dazhu and Axia knelt down together in a daze, but still couldn't say a word. Compared with before, Xuan Jinyan had not changed much. She was just a little thinner, but she was still as good-looking and wore expensive clothes.
, even in front of this kind of clothes, the wind here feels a bit rough, not to mention the dust and smell in the wind.
"You, what are you doing?" Xuan Jinyan said in surprise, but couldn't form a sentence.
"Get up." A guard said quietly at the side, "The prince gave instructions when I came here. You two are old acquaintances of General Tong's wife. You don't need to be too formal. Do you want to invite the lady to talk to you here, or do you want to change to a clean place?"
Some places?”
Feng Dazhu lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes falling on his calloused hands, which were supported on the ground with dirt hidden in the nails. At the last moment when his eyes dropped, Xuan Jinyan's still delicate and white hands stimulated his eyes.
Why did she come? What did she come to do?
"Please go to the teahouse here to talk, Mrs. General Tong." Axia woke up first and said immediately, "The terrain here is remote and there are not many households within a hundred miles. That teahouse is the closest to here and the cleanest.
"
She was still speaking fluently, so she gave her husband a squeeze and whispered: "Dazhu, tell me, why are you so dazed? Do you want to suffer this again?"
Just as Feng Dazhu was about to speak, he heard a babbling sound behind him. It was a very small child crawling on the ground. He was holding a squeaking chicken as a toy and there was drool at the corner of his mouth.
"He - he is your child?" Xuan Jinyan really didn't have the courage to approach that dirty child. His body was covered with dirt, and his original skin color could not even be seen.
"Yes, yes." Axia immediately picked up the child from the ground, kissed her affectionately, and muttered, and the dirty child immediately hugged Axia tightly.
Xuan Jinyan really didn't have the courage to face the two of them like this again, so she hesitated and said softly: "Is the teahouse far from here? Why don't I go there and wait for you while you two clean up and I'll treat you to a cup of tea."
Feng Dazhu seemed hesitant and wanted to refuse, but after taking a look at the guards standing behind Xuan Jinyan, he knew that if he refused, the guards who had received Xuan Jinmo's orders would never let him go. He sighed in his heart,
He followed Axia reluctantly back to the room.
It is said to be a teahouse, but it is just a tea shed set up in a very simple place, but it is much cleaner than the place where Feng Dazhu lives. The tables are a bit old, but they are still clean, the teacups are also somewhat damaged, and the tea is turbid.
The tea leaves are thick black and have thick leaves.
Seeing Xuan Jinyan, the guard frowned in embarrassment, and immediately ordered someone to take the teacup he had brought with him from the car, boiled the water again, made tea with his own tea leaves, and placed it in front of Xuan Jinyan, and said respectfully:
"When I came here, the prince told me again and again that the young lady has never traveled far away like this. I am afraid that there will be a lot of inconvenience. Please bear with me. The geographical location here is remote, and the tea shed here is already the best place."
Xuan Jinyan nodded lightly and looked around. There were few trees and there was wind. The wind carried dust and sand. After a while, he felt a little uncomfortable on his face. When he touched it with his hand, it seemed that some dust and sand had fallen.
On the face, it feels a bit rough.
"Why is he here?" Xuan Jinyan asked softly.
"He participated in the Xuan Jincheng rebellion. Fortunately, the prince intervened and saved his life. The prince said that this was for the sake of the lady. I hope he has always been loyal to the lady. Otherwise, even dying a few times would not be enough to atone for his crime.
." The guard said respectfully, "Originally, I was going to be sent to the desert. The prince said that Axia was pregnant. If she was really sent to the desert, not only would the adult's life be taken, but the little life in Axia's belly would also be affected.
That’s why they were allowed to settle here. Although the terrain here is remote and arid with little rain, it is still a place where people can survive.”
Xuan Jinyan sighed and lowered her head sadly. She was the one who harmed Feng Dazhu. If she hadn't asked him to elope with her, maybe he would be living well now. He is an honest and loyal person, even if he failed to get promoted and make a fortune.
, you may also have a worry-free life.
Hearing the footsteps of someone approaching, he looked up and saw that it was Feng Dazhu, but he was alone. Axia did not follow him. He changed into cleaner clothes, gray and patched. He probably washed his face and looked better than before.
He's feeling better. But his face is dark, his beard is uneven, and his hair is a little messy. He looks like a man in his forties.
"The common people have seen General Tong's wife." Feng Dazhu knelt down.
"Get up." Xuan Jinyan said immediately, pointed to the chair opposite, and said gently, "Sit down."
Feng Dazhu immediately shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "The common people are criminals. They cannot be on an equal footing with General Tong's wife. The common people can just kneel down."
Xuan Jinyan let out a long sigh, tears streaming down her face, and she was choked with sobs.
The guard next to him walked away and stood guard around the tea shed, turning his back to the two of them.
After a while, Xuan Jinyan calmed down the ups and downs in her heart, and tried to ask in as calm a voice as possible: "Why isn't Axia here?"
"She has to take care of the child at home. The child was born on the road and is not in good health." Feng Dazhu said in a dull voice. He refused to raise his head and spoke to the ground.
"Brother Dazhu!" Xuan Jinyan cried again and said sadly, "It was Jinyan who harmed you. If it weren't for Jinyan, you would have to take Jinyan out of Prince Xuan's Mansion. You wouldn't be like this today -"
"It's a slave who deserves it." Feng Dazhu's body trembled slightly. The sound of Dazhu brother made his whole body feel like a lightning strike. After so many years, she still has this kind of trust, with a hint of coquettishness and a hint of coquettishness, as if,
Time suddenly returned to many years ago.
"Brother Dazhu, brother Dazhu." Xuan Jinyan cried so hard that her shoulders trembled. She looked at the old and haggard Feng Dazhu who was kneeling on the ground and said in despair, "What do you want Jinyan to do, what do you do?!"
"Miss, please take good care of yourself." Feng Dazhu said with difficulty.
