Early in the morning, I packed my luggage and prepared to set off. As soon as I took two steps, I found someone grabbing my trouser leg. I looked down and saw that the old woman who spoke last night had grabbed Mu Zixiao's trouser leg with her withered hands.
He was also carrying a small package.
Mu Zixiao was shocked: "Old man, what are you doing?"
The old woman raised her head, faced the curtain, smiled brightly and said, "Of course I will follow you."
Muzi Xiao's face suddenly turned green. He really didn't understand what this uncertain old woman wanted to do. Now that her legs were broken, could he still take her along with him? He said: "Old man, I want to do it.
For business, traveling long distances, eating and sleeping in the open, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience."
The old woman deliberately pretended to be stupid, but she still smiled and looked at Mu Zixiao with a little pleading: "I'm not afraid! I am an old woman who is used to sleeping in the open air!"
Mu Zixiao resisted the urge to touch his forehead and said to the old woman: "Senior, it's really not convenient for me to take you with me."
"I don't have any requirements. Don't you have horses too? I can ride one too. Besides, I'm so familiar with this place. If you want to do business, what is there that I don't know about?" The old woman wanted to follow you to death.
, naturally it is a matter of taking advantage of the situation.
Mu Zixiao was speechless and turned around to look at his two followers. Unfortunately, the two followers also turned around in a shameless manner, pretending not to see Mu Zixiao's eyes pleading for help.
Although Mu Zixiao is a prince and a general stationed in the northwest, because of his personality, he loves to talk and laugh and does not put on airs at all. These followers admire and love him, so they naturally have no fear. At this time, they saw the prince talking to an old woman.
It's hard to say anything for being so generous.
"My child, just take me with you! I promise I won't drag you down!" The old woman saw that Muzixiao looked embarrassed and was unwilling to take her with her, so she started to pretend to cry. Thinking of this, she even stretched out her tattered clothes.
He wiped the corners of his eyes and choked with sobs.
Seeing that she was so sad, Mu Zixiao felt a little softer. After all, this old woman had always had an inexplicable feeling of closeness to her. After thinking about it, he made up his mind and said: "Old man, our carriage is used for driving.
It's a cargo, so it will definitely be uncomfortable to sit on it, and you will definitely suffer if you follow it!"
Seeing that he had agreed to this, the old woman couldn't care less about that. She nodded quickly: "I will never say anything!"
As he said that he was about to approach the carriage, Mu Zixiao couldn't bear to look at it, so he walked over and helped the old woman get on the carriage. As soon as he got closer to her body, Mu Zixiao realized that there was a smell on the old woman's body, but it was not
The smell seems to be a vague medicinal smell.
But he didn't have time to delve deeper. He just put the old woman on the carriage, got on the horse, waved and set off.
The old woman was sitting in the carriage, looking swayingly at the tall figure of Muzi Xiao riding on the horse outside. Suddenly a burst of tears welled up. She had not seen this child for more than 20 years, and now he has grown up.
If you become like this, you will no longer have any regrets in this life.
Mu Zixiao felt a little regretful at this moment. How could he agree to take her with him just because he was soft-hearted? After all, he was not very familiar with him, so it would be hard for him to explain anything else! Thinking of this,
Mu Zixiao turned around and looked at the carriage, and saw the old woman looking at him with bright eyes. Mu Zixiao's heart suddenly twitched for some reason.
How could she look at him with tears in her eyes like this?
Could it be someone his biological mother knew? Or an old acquaintance of his father?
Thinking of this, Mu Zixiao didn't worry about anything, and just asked the attendants around him casually: "After this city, is the next city Jincheng?"
The attendant took out the map, looked at it and said, "It's Jincheng!"
"What are the customs and customs like in Jincheng?" Muzi Xiao asked. Although he already knew that she might be here, he didn't know in detail which city she was in. Now that so much time has passed, how do you know if she is still there?
According to the information given by Ninth Brother, she was hunted at that time. What is the situation now? Why is Fourth Brother chasing her?
One question after another kept popping up in Mu Zixiao's mind.
"Sir, this Jincheng is the second largest city in the Suzaku Kingdom. There are many merchants coming and going, the scenery is beautiful, and the climate is pleasant. My subordinates have found out that the fourth prince and the fourth princess are here." The attendant said cautiously.
But the words "Fourth Princess" still stung Mu Zixiao's heart. Is it really her? Did she really marry the Fourth Brother like this and start the case? Why do I think of her now as the leisurely and clever person she is?
A woman who cooks and eats?
Seeing that Mu Zixiao was silent, another entourage interrupted: "Let's go to Jincheng first this time! I heard that the Shijia Restaurant in Jincheng has a signature dish called boiled fish, which is very popular and has many customers every day.
Went for this fish."
"Boiled fish?" Mu Zixiao asked. He had never heard the name of a dish like this before: "What dish is that? Fish soup?"
"I don't know the details, but I heard that it is very delicious, spicy and delicious. The chef here has a secret recipe and will never tell anyone about it. And this dish is an aunt's specialty." When the entourage talked about the food, he said to himself
His saliva started to flow continuously.
He seemed to smell the aroma of boiled fish in his nose. Mu Zixiao saw his extremely greedy look and smiled: "Okay! When we arrive in Jincheng, we first find the inn, and then we go to eat the boiled fish!
"
After saying that, he raised his whip and the horse ran forward quickly.
The entourage laughed and followed them. The old woman sat in the car and looked at their happy faces, and she also laughed.
It was already evening when we arrived in Jincheng. Mu Zixiao found an inn to stay, and the old woman also got off the car.
"Senior, what would you like to eat?" Mu Zixiao asked.
The old woman thought of the dish they talked about on the road, and said with a smile: "My old lady wants to try it too, boiled fish."
Mu Zixiao laughed loudly after hearing this: "In that case, let's go and try this famous dish!"
On the street, a casual inquiry led to Shijia Restaurant, and they arrived quickly.
The attendant dismounted and said to the waiter: "Waiter, we want a private room!"
The waiter walked over quickly: "Okay! Come with me!"
Several people followed the waiter upstairs. The old woman had bad legs and feet, so she had an attendant carrying her on her back. The old woman lay on the attendant's back with a smile on her lips and a very happy mood.
When we got upstairs, the shopkeeper came over in person. These people, especially the young master, seemed very impressive at first sight, so he personally came up to entertain them: "What do you guys want to eat?"
"I heard that your store's signature dish is boiled fish? We want to try it!" Mu Zixiao took a sip of tea.
"Uh..." The shopkeeper said nothing and looked embarrassed.
