Chapter 425 A lonely man and a widow

Mrs. Xiao smiled strangely: "No. Erlang originally wanted to take her in, but she refused to do anything, saying that she only wanted to be a couple for the rest of her life and not be a concubine."

Ying Bao became even more curious: "But she goes out and in with Xiao Chengjun every day. Which man dares to marry her as his wife?"

Mrs. Xiao: "I guess she thought that Erlang Mingwen was marrying her. However, this time the girl's idea was in vain. I heard the girls in the front yard said that since Erlang received the imperial edict of marriage, Miss Chen has been crying in the room. stop."

Ying Bao twitched her eyes.

Then isn't Chen Tiantian Xiao Chengjun's sweetheart? Why didn't you get married for so long?

Could it be that what he loves is actually power and status?

Also, Chen Tiantian is already twenty years old now. Is she planning to spend time with Xiao Chengjun?

"Madam, someone from the big kitchen said that the banquet is ready. Do you want to serve the dishes now?" A maid came over and asked Wang Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao nodded: "Serve."

Today is her birthday, so I invited four tables, but only two came.

Fortunately, the Jiang family and her daughter, who were the county heads, were present, otherwise they would have been too embarrassed.

Then Xiao Wang invited all the female relatives to sit down in the flower hall and arranged Yingbao and Chunniang at the main seats.

After the banquet, everyone left one after another.

Ying Bao and A Niang also said goodbye to Xiao Wang and went home. As they were about to get in the car, they saw a fat man and a teenage boy running towards them.

"Sister Yingbao! I want to go to your house to play!" The little fat man ran out of breath and tried to grab Yingbao's sleeves.

Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang calmly separated the little fat man from their master, and stood on both sides of Ying Bao with their hands tied.

"Chengyu." Mrs. Xiao glared at her son disapprovingly: "You are fifteen years old and you are still so frizzy."

Xiao Chengyu, a fifteen-year-old fat boy, was wearing a new brocade robe and two buns on his head. With his chubby face, he looked a bit childish. He was waiting expectantly for Ying Bao's reply.

"Okay, Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu, and Wei Zhan are both here, so you can go and play with them." Wei Zhan had been living in Zhou Hao's Prince's Mansion for the past few days, and only came to Jiang's house today to celebrate the New Year.

Xiao Chengyu jumped up happily and immediately called to the kid: "Let's go to sister Yingbao's house to drink juice."

The child looked a little wilted, as if he had something on his mind.

But when I heard that I could leave the house and go to Yingbao's house, my eyes lit up.

He raised his hands towards Yingbao like a little adult and said, "Happy New Year to sister Yingbao, happy New Year to auntie."

Chun Niang nodded towards him and said kindly: "Happy New Year to you too, my aunt will prepare delicious food for you later."

"Thank you, Auntie." Xiao Tong and Xiao Chengyu thanked each other.

Afterwards, the two teenagers took a carriage to Jiang's house.

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and Wei Zhan, Wen Hengyin, and Zhang Min are both at Jiang's house.

They and Jiang Jie, Jiang Wuhuzi, and Jiang Quan were fishing in the verandah, and caught several fish from Yingbao's place in the pond.

"Brother Wei Zhan! I'm here!" Although Xiao Chengyu was fat, he was very flexible. He ran over and hugged Wei Zhan and shook him for a while.

Wei Zhan pushed him away in disgust, "You almost knocked out the overnight meal. Keep your voice down, let's go fishing."

Xiao Chengyu nodded and looked into the pond. He saw several holes drilled into the ice of the pond, and several people occupied an ice hole for fishing.

The child looked at these people and wanted to come over to talk, but they all focused on looking at the water and ignored him.

After a while, two maids came over with steaming almond tea and gave each man a cup.

Several people took a sip of almond tea in one hand and held a fishing rod in the other.

When he finished his cup of almond milk tea, he didn't even notice that Wei Zhan was missing.

In the flower room, Ying Bao squatted on the ground and planted the newly taken flower seedlings into the flower pots one by one.

After all twenty plants were planted, when she got up to scoop water from the water tank, she found Wei Zhan standing not far away looking at her.

Ying Bao was startled and said angrily: "What are you doing so sneakily?"

Wei Zhan smiled proudly, took out a delicate box from his arms and stuffed it into her hand: "This is for you, I didn't make it that day."

Ying Bao picked up the heavy box and looked at it, then opened it and saw a pair of wide gold bracelets inlaid with gems.

The gemstones are huge, the gold bracelets are thick, and the style is extremely rough, unlike the style of this dynasty.

"I got this from a maritime merchant." Wei Zhan said, "I guess you like it."

Yingbao really likes this kind of things made of real gold and gemstones. They are durable and easy to sell for money.

"Is it expensive? How much did it cost?" she asked.

Wei Zhan scratched his head: "Not much money."

Seeing Ying Bao glaring at him, she quickly said: "It just cost more than five hundred taels."

Ying Bao nodded, picked up one and put it on her wrist, shaking it. It fit well, but it was a bit heavy and inconvenient to do things.

He took off the bracelet, put it back on the lid of the box, and said to Wei Zhan, "I'll give you something too."

Wei Zhan's smile stretched almost to his ears.

Yingbao thought for a while, then took out a box and handed it to Wei Zhan: "This flower can save lives, but it can be taken internally or externally. You should keep it well. If you are marching and fighting outside, you must carry it with you."

The box contained a whole Wudingzhi flower, which was as big as a sea bowl. There was a rosette-shaped stamen in the middle. She had eaten it once to cleanse the essence and extract the marrow.

"Okay." Wei Zhan took the box and carefully put it into his arms.

Then he raised his hand, finally stroked Ying Bao's hair, and whispered: "Ying Bao, I love you."

Ying Bao's heart skipped a beat and she blushed a little, "Me too."

This was the first time in her two lives that someone had said this to her, and she felt dizzy.

Wei Zhan's eyes burst with light. He was about to say something when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person standing next to him. He couldn't help but darken his face: "You little boy, what are you doing here?"

The child looked at the two of them curiously and said, "Father Wu said that it is indecent for a man and a woman to live together in the same room."

Wei Zhan stepped forward, covered the child's mouth, carried him outside, and scolded him with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense!"

The child curled his lips, snorted, turned around and ran away.

Wei Zhan turned his head and looked at the flower room. He wanted to go in and talk to Yingbao again, but thinking of Xiaotong's words, he had to say: "Yingbao, if you are too busy, I will call Huzi and Jiang Wu to come over and help."

Yingbao walked out of the greenhouse: "It's ready. You can go play with them."

Wei Zhan nodded and turned back step by step.

Ying Bao returned to her room, told Mei Xiang and the others not to come in and disturb her, and ducked into the cave.

She came to the Pupil Spring and dipped the golden fragment in her hand into the spring water.

The two golden pieces gradually melted into the water and finally disappeared.

It was exactly what she thought.

After the golden fragments melted into the pupil spring, a vague memory appeared in her mind.

The memories were a little scattered, and she had to work hard to sort them out.

However, thinking of her previous dreams, Ying Bao roughly understood that these golden fragments were her eyes in a certain life.

After those people killed her, in order to prevent her from resurrecting or to obtain her abilities, they sealed the fragments of her eyes into the stone statue and absorbed the divine power of the fragments day and night.

Now, she found two pieces and merged them into the pupil spring. At this moment, she clearly felt that something was about to burst out of her body.
