I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

She jumped off the horse and smiled at the guard. The guard was so scared that he took two steps back, raised the big knife in his hand, and his eyes were full of fear.

Ji Xiaobei didn't know what was going on and smiled again.

Both guards raised their swords and shouted, "Where did you get it from? The pass..."

Ji Xiaobei didn't know why they were so scared and felt very confused.

After unloading the goods, I have lost 30 pounds... Although I am strong and healthy, I won’t be mistaken for a bandit, right?

At this time, an old woman nearby pulled Ji Xiaobei's sleeve and said, "Brave man, stop laughing. You are scaring the officer with your fake smile."

Ji Xiaobei hurriedly covered his face with his hands. He was frozen, completely frozen!

"Master..." Ji Xiaobei couldn't speak clearly.

Forget it, just don’t say it.

She pulled the old woman aside, took out a bag of change from her pocket and put it in her hand.

The old woman was frightened and trembled. The things in her hands fell to the ground. She waved her hands hurriedly and said, "Brave man, I just reminded you kindly. No, no need to give me money."

She turned around and was about to run. The difference in strength between her and the warrior in front of her was too great, and she felt too unsafe.

Ji Xiaobei suppressed his anger: Damn it, I lost more than 30 pounds, but I was still called a warrior. Has the word "warrior" become my indissoluble bond with me in this life?

"Auntie, don't run..." Ji Xiaobei bent down to pick up the silver, and then grabbed the old lady.

The old lady's lips were purple and she was shaking all the time.

"Don't be afraid, ma'am. I just want to follow you into the city. Take this silver..."

The old lady asked with her upper and lower teeth trembling: "Is it for me? ..."

Ji Xiaobei held her shoulders and said tearfully, "Yes, Auntie, my daughter met with trouble in the capital. I left in a hurry and forgot to bring the pass. Auntie, please be kind..."

The old lady hurriedly pulled Ji Xiaobei's hand down and said in a trembling voice: "Big man, men and women should not touch each other...Okay, I'll take care of this matter."

The old lady took Ji Xiaobei's hand, and Ji Xiaobei took the little white horse's hand, and they successfully entered the gate of the capital.

Fu Jichang, wearing a black cloak and a tiger-skin hat, got off his horse and cursed the terrible weather in his heart.

When he looked up, he saw a familiar figure. He turned around and called out to Heita behind him: "Heita, look who that is?"

Heita pulled the reins of the horse, scratched the neck and asked, "Which one? The old lady?"

Fu Jichang: ...Where are the people?

Under the gray sky, I saw a small white dot disappear at the end of the road.

"Oh, it's okay, I must have seen it wrong!"

Fu Jichang felt that he was having an illusion.

Ji Xiaobei is at home taking care of the children. Why would he come to Beijing in such a cold weather?

You must be blinding yourself.

He and Heita also entered the city gate.

The capital city was filled with yellow sand, and the fine sand hit my face, causing pain.

When Ji Xiaobei arrived in the city, he quickly found out about Cuijinlou.

On the tall plaque were engraved three large gray characters: Cuijinlou.

There was a thick cotton felt curtain hanging at the door. Ji Xiaobei's hands were frozen and she couldn't control the strength in her hands well. When she lifted the curtain, it fell down. She walked in holding the felt curtain.

Two waiters were helping a woman with jewelry at the counter when they saw Ji Xiaobei coming in with a curtain. The door was bare and cold wind was blowing into the room.

The smile on the young man's face froze for a moment.

"Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"

Ji Xiaobei put the curtain on his shoulders and said, "This curtain is not strong... I am a good friend of your son Ruo Xiaowei. I came from another place to visit him. I wonder if he is in the store?"

"Sir, you are looking for my uncle. He hasn't come for a few days. Why don't you leave your address and wait for him to come next time..."

The young man smiled, holding the curtain on his shoulders.

"I have something urgent to tell your uncle. Something happened to the man in your uncle's outer courtyard, and he asked me to come and report it." Ji Xiaobei whispered in the waiter's ear.

The young man was stunned, and said with an awkward smile: "Sir, you are joking..."

Ji Xiaobei's face darkened: "Can you bear the consequences of delaying my business?"

"I...don't dare!" The boy shuddered with fear.

The young man, covered by a curtain, hurriedly pointed the way to Ji Xiaobei.

Following the directions given by the waiter, she soon found the door of Ruo's house.

Heavy wooden doors and high walls.

Ji Xiaobei rode the little white horse around the Ruo family. The door of the Ruo family was closed and there was no festive atmosphere.

It is definitely not a good idea to rush in.

She went around to the back door.

After waiting for a long time, two little maids came out, carrying baskets.

"The lady said she wanted to eat fresh pears, but where can we buy them in the middle of winter? Isn't this putting us in a difficult position?" said a little maid, pouting.

Another maid said, "If it doesn't work, go buy her some frozen pears..."

"The eldest lady is pregnant and wants the moon in the sky. The old lady doesn't dare to pick the stars for her. Let's go and look for it!"

Ji Xiaobei lowered his head and pretended to check the little white colt's hooves, listening to the two little maids chattering as they walked by.

At this time, a little maid tilted her head in confusion and asked, "What are you doing? Hurry up and leave!"

Ji Xiaobei pulled her scarf down to reveal her face, trying to let them see that she was a woman. She smiled and said, "The horse is pregnant, its hooves are worn out, and it's starving. It really can't walk anymore. Can you give it some water, girl?"

The two men were stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the person wrapped tightly was actually a woman.

Ji Xiaobei took out two pieces of silver and gave one to each of them.

The two maids smiled brightly: "Sister, wait a minute, I'll get it for you!"

"Thank you, young lady. The bucket is heavy and it's cold. How about I pull the horse in, drink some water and then we'll go." Ji Xiaobei said

"Okay, come with me!" The maid let Ji Xiaobei and Xiao Baiju enter through the back door.

The little white colt lowered its head and drank the water slowly.

Ji Xiaobei took the opportunity to ask: "It's so cold, and you two girls are still going out. It's really hard work!"

"Oh, don't mention it. The eldest lady in the mansion is pregnant and insists on eating fresh pears. Isn't this embarrassing in the middle of winter?"

"It's understandable that you want to eat something new when you're pregnant. I have two here, take them first, girl!" Ji Xiaobei took out a bulging cloth bag from his sleeve.

The little maid opened the bag and saw two large yellow pears inside.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" the little maid asked in surprise.

"What a coincidence! An old friend gave it to me. It's too cold and I can't eat it, so I'm giving it to your wife!"

Ji Xiaobei said calmly.

"Thank you, sister. If you ask me, my first wife is a very lucky person. After she became pregnant, the whole family held her in the palm of their hands. My third wife just gave birth to a child. I heard that it was a monster. The whole family feels that it is unlucky..." The little maid was so happy that she talked more.

"I've heard of women giving birth to Nezha, but I've never heard of women giving birth to monsters. You're joking, young lady!" Ji Xiaobei deliberately tried to trick the little maid.

"Really? My old lady has to hire someone to perform a ritual. As soon as the third lady came back, she was placed in a side courtyard. She's so pitiful!" said the little maid.
