Quick Wear: The female supporting role makes a comeback by giving birth to a child

The simple farmhouse located on the edge of the village may not look impressive from the outside, but it exudes warmth everywhere.

The gate of the courtyard is made of old wooden boards and is covered with traces of time.

There is a gravel path on the ground in the yard leading directly to the house.

There is a well in the center of the courtyard, with a wheel at the mouth of the well and moss growing around the well.

Not far from the well is an old banyan tree.

The woman invited everyone into the main room: "Please take a seat. I'll go get you some water."

"Thank you for your trouble." Xin Guoguo nodded slightly.

The woman smiled gently: "You're welcome."

Then he called the two children out to play.

The two little guys nodded obediently, and the older one took the younger one to run under the banyan tree to play in the mud.

The woman went into the kitchen carrying the basket.

He took out some tea leaves that he had treasured for a long time from the cupboard and carefully placed them in four bowls.

He poured in some hot water that was warm on the stove.

Watching the tea foam rising and falling, her face remained calm, neither anxious nor impatient.

After a while, he came in with a basket and four bowls of water:

"The farmhouse is simple, and we only have coarse tea. Please don't despise it."

Using both hands, he brought the bowls to everyone one by one.

Xin Guoguo took it with both hands and thanked politely: "Coarse tea and water, it's quite interesting. Thank you, ma'am."

Zhou Chen subconsciously imitated his mother's actions and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Madam."

I took a sip and my mouth was filled with bitterness.

The tea tasted different from any tea he had ever tasted.

Its bitterness seemed to have seeped out directly from the tea leaves, without any easing, and directly numbed the tip of the tongue.

Zhou Chen frowned subconsciously.

I was just about to remind my mother.

When I raised my eyes, I saw that my mother's movements were as elegant as ever, without any strained expression on her face, as if she was tasting some delicious tea.

Zhou Chen was puzzled, is this tea really so delicious?

My mother was used to drinking tribute tea, but she could still drink this bowl of tea without changing her expression. Is there something special about this tea?

He took another tentative sip.

As the tea was steeped for a long time, it became more bitter and had a strange smell of tree leaves.

Zhou Chen really couldn't drink it.

But I saw that the Queen Mother was still slowly savoring the bowl of tea and couldn't put the bowl down.

Her movements were so graceful, as if telling him how delicious the tea was.

Suddenly, he caught his mother's gaze.

Lightly, with a smile.

Zhou Chen's heart moved, and he continued to drink the bowl of rough tea sip by sip.

He knew it was polite.

It's respect.

The people are his roots, and he cannot forget them.

This farm family seemed to be living well, so Xin Guoguo and her friends did not stay long.

What needs to be done has not been done yet, and they don't have much time.

After drinking the tea, I thanked the host and left.

Before leaving, Xin Guoguo asked Nanny Deng to leave a silver ingot.

It’s not much, but it can be considered as a thank you gift from the host for the hospitality.

Several people walked along the way, enjoying the scenery.

After walking for less than half an hour, I suddenly saw a girl in a white skirt stumbling towards me from a distance.

Her figure was as graceful as a blooming flower, her eyes were as bright as the twinkling starry sky, and her tears were as crystal clear as pearls rolling down.

As she ran, she looked back with a frightened look on her face, as if she was avoiding something terrible.

Her hair was a little messy, but this mess made her look a little more broken and beautiful, like a frightened white rabbit, making people want to protect her.

Somehow, she suddenly tripped and fell right in front of Zhou Chen.

As if she had seen a rescuer, she raised her head and begged him for help: "Sir, save me."

Zhou Chen was amazed by the face as bright as the morning light.

Her eyes were like clear lake water, pure and innocent, yet full of dependence, making people unconsciously want to get closer.

Zhou Chen was almost stunned. He felt his heart trembling uncontrollably.

The weak young woman grabbed the corner of Zhou Chen's clothes and shook him gently.

Zhou Chen came back to his senses. He quickly helped the girl up and asked gently:

"Girl, what happened? Why are you so panicked?"

He is the emperor and has the responsibility to protect any citizen of the Great Zhou!

When the woman stood up, he withdrew his hand and took half a step back to create some distance between them.

He already has Su Wan, so it is not appropriate for him to be too intimate with other women.

The woman gently grabbed his sleeve, raised her head slightly, and looked at Zhou Chen, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.

Her lips trembled, and she was very pitiful: "Some bad guy wants to take advantage of me, sir, can you save me?"

Zhou Chen's heart tightened and he didn't pull out his sleeves.

He looked at the girl and nodded: "Girl, don't be afraid. I'm here and no one can hurt you."

He would not allow his people to suffer any harm in his presence.

The girl looked at Zhou Chen gratefully, her eyes full of trust and dependence:

"Thank you for your help, sir. If you don't mind, Ruyan is willing to be your slave to repay your kindness."

Zhou Chen waved his hands repeatedly: "No need. It's just a small favor, don't worry about it. Where is the thief?"

Ruyan looked back and smiled, "I guess she was scared away by seeing the young master's heroic appearance!"

Zhou Chen didn't think much about it, but believed it: "In this case, girl, go home quickly."

Ruyan was stunned, a hint of fear and timidity flashed in her eyes: "I...I..."

"What's the secret, girl?"

"Sir, Ruyan has an unreasonable request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"You said."

Ruyan looked at him with tender eyes full of dependence and trust. Zhou Chen felt a surge of pride in his heart at this moment.

Ruyan spoke timidly:

"Could you please ask the young master to send Ruyan home? Ruyan... Ruyan is really afraid of meeting that person on the road again. If the young master doesn't come to rescue her, Ruyan will probably... sob... "

"Don't be afraid, girl. Where do you live? We'll take you back right now!"

"It's at Xiaoyang Village, on the left fork in the road ahead."

"Mother, let's..."

Zhou Chen turned his head and subconsciously wanted to ask his mother's opinion.

When Ruyan came over, Xin Guoguo decisively took action to stop the commander of the imperial guards, Meng Tao.

The three of them stood aside, just quietly watching the two people looking into each other's eyes.

One is shy and timid, the other looks righteous.

At this moment Zhou Chen suddenly turned around, and Xin Guoguo's expression changed quickly, with an expression that said "I feel bad but I won't say it":

"Chen'er, you go. Alas, the Queen Mother wanted to help, but the Queen Mother is old and can't do it anymore. Alas, ...

Seeing that his mother's face did not look good, Zhou Chen did not doubt anything.

But if he, a man, were to send her back alone, wouldn't that ruin the girl's reputation?

However, it is not appropriate to let the Queen Mother be alone with Meng Tao.

Zhou Chen thought about it over and over again, but couldn't come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

After all, they wanted to go back to Beijing, so they had to turn right at the fork in the road ahead, which was not on the way.

"Since you are embarrassed, then forget it. Ruyan was abrupt."

Ruyan smiled, but at this moment, her smile looked uglier than crying.

Zhou Chen felt a little uncomfortable. He thought for a moment and shouted, "An Yi!"
