Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C172
Red Xiao had fallen into the river and drowned on the first day of the previous crown prince’s funeral.
Everyone in the Fifth Prince household had heard rumors that Red Xiao had held his breath for too long, and after the period of mourning passed, he had hurriedly gone to the latrine to enjoy himself, but who knew that he had overdone it, causing his legs to become weak. Finally, he fell into the river and lost his life.
However, Zhao Jin was very clear, Red Xiao was familiar with swimming, if it wasn’t for the fact that he was a top tier expert, no one could easily take his life.
He naturally knew who had sent this expert over.
Red Xiao was no longer there, he could only use Green Rainbow.
Zhao Jin had always thought that Qinghong was not as clever as Red Xiao, but at the moment, it was a critical moment, so he could not be at ease using the new person.
Twisting his finger, he took a sip of tea and asked the person beside him, “Has he arrived at the capital yet?”
Qinghong nodded. “We arrived early. We are waiting for your orders.”
Zhao Jin looked far ahead across the courtyard to the green mountain range and the white clouds that were slowly flowing behind the mountain range. He slowly said: “I’ll first take them to train for a bit, then send them over after I’ve mastered it.”
The streets of the capital, which had been lifeless for three months after the passing of the previous crown prince’s funeral, came to life together with the scorching heat.
The shop next to Linlang Workshop was named Liuli Workshop and was officially open for business today.
Jin Xiaolou sat in the palanquin as she rushed from the Rainbow Garden to Golden Appendage Lane. Seeing that the sky was bright, she did not move for a long time and, on a whim, got off the palanquin. She used a cloth umbrella to cover herself from the sunlight and slowly walked down the street with Lin’er.
Who knew that after only two steps, there would be people pointing and talking around him. Jin Xiaolou did not understand and did not mind it much.
When his curiosity was high, he grabbed Jin Xiaolou’s hand and pulled him close to the mud man stand, babbling, “Mother, mother, Lin’er wants Great Sage Sun!”
The story of Journey to the West was something Jin Xiaolou found a painter to tell it to herself while drawing it.
Lin’er read his drawing book everyday. When he saw a little monkey on top of the mudman stall, he assumed it was Sun Wukong and immediately reached out to grab it.
Lv Yun opened her purse and even took out a copper coin. Unexpectedly, the big aunt put the clay figurine away, and said unhappily: “My mud man doesn’t sell three things, child, I won’t sell you.”
Lv Yun frowned: “What do you mean?”
The aunt’s face was full of disgust, “This was passed down from generation to generation from my ancestors. They are all innocent people, and as long as they don’t sell prostitutes, they don’t sell bandits, and they don’t sell evil seeds.”
The more Lv Yun heard, the uglier her expression became. When the word evil spirit was finally said, she hurriedly covered the ears of the Lin’er and scolded the big aunt, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
Coincidentally, Jin Xiaolou had also walked to the side, so the aunt pointed at Jin Xiaolou and sneered: “Currently, everyone in the capital knows about it, and everyone knows about it. This unclean woman, even before leaving the pavilion, had her body dirtied by someone, and thus gave birth to this evil creature.
Jin Xiaolou laughed lightly. She knew that everyone who looked at her the whole journey didn’t seem right. So it was because of this matter.
All the people who knew about this came from Xin Ning, Jin Xiaolou thought with her toes, he knew that it was all because of Jin Xiaotao.
“You dare to talk about Seventh Prince? You must be tired of living!” Lv Yun was extremely angry, how could she possibly allow others to criticize his own shopkeeper, she immediately wanted to pull her back into the Rainbow Garden.
“Forget it.” Jin Xiaolou stopped Lv Yun, “We can let them think whatever they want, it’s enough as long as they know what kind of people we are.”
From the bottom of her heart, Jin Xiaolou did not care about this auntie at all.
The more they took care of it, the more people thought that it was true and that Jin Xiaolou was guilty.
They could only ignore it and fall in love with Gao Lang, allowing time for these words to spread.
Jin Xiaolou squatted down and carried Lin’er. Just as she was about to pull Lv Yun away, Gao Lang’s voice rang out from behind him: “Drag that muddle-man stall owner down and beat him to thirty big boards.”
Turning his head, Chang An had already twisted his aunt’s arm.
“What are you all doing!?” Is it forbidden for people to say that they are allowed to make it? ” The aunt panicked. She struggled and shouted at the same time.
Gao Lang held Jin Xiaolou tightly in his arms as he spoke coldly, “Whether or not you did it is not your fault, nor the matter of everyone under the heavens. The reason why I hit you is not because you made rumors to frame my wife, but because of the public’s discussion of the crime of being a prince.”
“Fight!” With Gao Lang’s order, the big aunt was pulled down and in that moment, miserable cries came from behind her.
“What’s the point?” Jin Xiaolou stepped forward, “The pole cannot stop me from moving forward.”
“I’m not trying to stop you.” Gao Lang said softly, “If there’s someone who makes my wife unhappy, then I will definitely make him unhappy too!”
“Let’s go, my father will bring the Lin’er to pinch the mud!” With one hand, Gao Lang received the Lin’er in Jin Xiaolou’s embrace, and with the other hand, he held onto Jin Xiaolou as they walked in the opposite direction of Golden Appendage Lane.
After walking two steps, he remembered Lv Yun who was behind him. He turned his head and said, “I’ll leave the opening of the new workshop to you. Your shopkeeper should be lazy today.”
Lv Yun smiled and said quickly: “No problem, leave the shopkeeper to me!”
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he pulled on Chang An once more.
Chang An hurriedly shook his head: “I want to protect Seventh Elder.”
“He really has no eyes.” Lv Yun ignored the unwillingness on Chang An’s face, and forcefully pulled him away.
Gao Lang brought Jin Xiaolou and Lin’er to a shallow river bank.
Both sides of the river were filled with jasmine flowers, and the white stars in the green clouds were beautiful and fragrant.
There were reeds growing close to the river, and the water inside was becoming smaller and smaller, leaving behind only shallows.
Gao Lang placed Lin’er on the side of the shallow bank, pinched a lump of river mud, and rubbed his hands together. Only then did he hold Lin’er’s hands and pinch the mud: “Lin’er wants Great Sage Sun, let’s pinch a Great Sage Sun.”
With that, he raised his head and asked Jin Xiaolou: “What does the Great Sage look like?”
Jin Xiaolou was not good at drawing either, she held a branch and drew an ugly monkey on the river bank, but who would have known that Gao Lang had such a good innate skill, to actually draw a lively and valiant Sun Wukong.
Lin’er was overjoyed, pulling his father to pinch Zhu Bajie.
Jin Xiaolou sat on a limestone at the side. Seeing the father and son in front of him enjoying themselves, just as she was about to be happy, her gaze suddenly flashed when she saw clumps of plants that were purple like silver spears in the wetland close to the reeds.
Jin Xiaolou was overjoyed, and immediately ran over. When she got closer, she took a look, and said to Gao Lang: “Huanyou! “There’s a kennel here!”
Gao Lang looked up: “Be careful my wife, this is the Ghost Head Flower Lotus Root, it is poisonous!”
“You know him too?” Jin Xiaolou was shocked.
Gao Lang nodded his head: “This thing is rarely seen in the capital, there are more at Xiyu’s side. I had previously seen it at Xiyu Merchant’s place.”
Jin Xiaolou heard and nodded, she had already rolled up her trousers and was about to pull the Ghost Head Flower Rod.
It scared Gao Lang so much that he threw the clay figurine in his hands away and ran over to hold Jin Xiaolou back: “My wife, don’t touch it.”
When Jin Xiaolou saw that his clean and clean clothes had two imprints on it, she became angry, “The two of you are as dirty as monkeys, so you want to pull me into the water as well.
After she finished speaking, she smiled at Gao Lang: “Don’t worry, I know that this poison is not poisonous.”
He then continued, “Not only will the poison not poison me, I can even make them into delicious delicacies!”
When the sun set in the west, Jin Xiaolou and the others finally returned to the Rainbow Garden.
The three of them were so dirty that their faces could not be seen, shocked to the point that Lv Yun’s jaw almost fell off. However, she had never seen Lin’er so happy before.
Gao Lang and Jin Xiaolou had even carried a large bundle of things that came from an unknown origin, a group of Purple Crow.
The two of them passed the Ghost Head Flower Rod to the people below, and Gao Lang pushed the Lin’er into Lv Yun’s embrace, “Hurry and wash this little monkey clean, then send it to sleep.”
Saying that, he dragged Jin Xiaolou and walked towards the back of the mountain.
Jin Xiaolou was baffled when she saw Gao Lang turn around. His bright face shone: “My wife, I will personally clean you up so that you can sleep.”
The word “sleep” was bitten exceptionally hard, and for some reason, caused Jin Xiaolou’s legs to go limp the moment she heard it …
