Chapter 15 Wax 8 Porridge

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Xie Jing bought some food in the small village and cooked Laba porridge.

The small stove is in the room. Xie Jing boiled it in a casserole until the rice grains bloomed. The cooked porridge rice and all kinds of beans were fragrant. The unique taste and aroma of Laba porridge made people hungry come out.

Bai Rongjiu put down the book, the tip of his nose moved slightly: "What's in it, it smells so good."

Xie Jing stared at the small casserole and said, "I didn't find anything good either. When I went to exchange food, I happened to see some walnuts, so I bought two and came back, ground them into powder and cooked them together in porridge."

Bai Rongjiu smiled and said: "This is quite a clever technique, where did you learn it?"

Xie Jing said honestly: "With my grandma, she can cook a lot of delicious food. If I want to eat it, I can learn more from her when I go to my house." Probably because he was afraid that Master Jiu would be worried, he added, "I learn things very quickly. , can also cook.”

"What else can I do? Tell me a few good ones to listen to."

"Fried rice cracker candies, steamed rice cakes, I can also roast meat, and I can also make a few home-cooked dishes."

Bai Rongjiu teased him: "There will be so many, when I go back, I will leave the small kitchen to you to take care of."

Xie Jing was honest, thought he was telling the truth, and nodded in agreement.

The small stove was always on, and after cooking for a long time, the whole room was filled with the aroma of porridge.

A small casserole of porridge boiled for half a day, the porridge became thick, the rice grains sank under the translucent porridge liquid, and the aroma rose in the air with the heat.The weather is cold, drinking a bowl of such hot and sweet porridge makes my stomach feel very comfortable.

While drinking porridge, Bai Rongjiu looked out of the window and saw a small ice lantern in the yard near the door.

He looked familiar, thought for a moment and asked, "Did you also make those two ice lanterns at the entrance of the firm's courtyard?"

Xie Jing's cat's tongue, which has been scalded by the hot porridge at this moment, is blowing on the side of the bowl to sip the porridge, when he heard Master Jiu ask, he said vaguely, "Yes."

Bai Rongjiu felt that this child was very good.

In the afternoon, Xie Jing suddenly heard the white horse barking twice outside the window, and hurried out to have a look, seeing the people who came, immediately put down a worried heart.

People from the Bai family in Qinghe County came. There were 30 to [-] people, all of them were riding horses, many of them had guns on their shoulders, and they also brought a sturdy carriage and a doctor. injured.

The guard who used the double guns before Bai Rongjiu was also among them. His face was slightly frostbitten and looked a little red and swollen, but the rest was fine.

After the doctor showed it to Lord Jiu, he said repeatedly: "No problem, no problem, it's just a skin injury, take it back and rest for a while and it will recover. I have some ointment on me, and I will put it on when I get on the carriage."

There were too many people who came to pick up Bai Jiuye this time, and the momentum was so great that many children from Murakami were attracted to come to see him. However, with so many people from the Bai family escorting him, he was not worried about any mistakes.

Bai Rongjiu sat on the carriage, wrapped in a thick leather cloak, and listened to the guard's report with his eyes closed.

"Fang Yurou's child has been delivered safely. The mother and child are safe. The young master of the Bai family was lucky. He was protected by a team of cavalry returning for rotation. He was only a little frightened. In addition, a small half of the Heihe company was burned. In the warehouse, two guys died, Second Young Master Bai was slightly injured, and now he has been brought back for treatment, and he will be fine in a few months, and now the officers and soldiers on the Heihe side have begun martial law, and they are preparing to suppress the bandits in the next year."

"One of our people lost one person and injured three others. I have already sent a car to take them back to the provincial capital, and report to the old man at home by the way."

"How long have you been walking?"

"Two days ago, we didn't dare to report until the person sent by the Lord to send the message."

"it is good."

……

The carriage was spacious, and Xie Jing huddled in a corner and dozed off. There was a thick blanket and a heater in the carriage, which made people feel drowsy right now.

Bai Rongjiu was instructing the people around him to do something, when he raised his eyes, he saw Xie Jing sleeping with his head bit by bit, and he turned to one side, and the hand warmer he held in his arms rolled down on the blanket, because the blanket was thick, and there was no sound It didn't come out, and it didn't wake up the sleeping child.

Bai Rongjiu paused and said, "Take a blanket."

The guard immediately rummaged to find a blanket with thick fur. The car was full of things Jiuye was used to on weekdays. Jiuye was afraid of the cold, so he prepared a lot of these things.

Bai Rongjiu pointed to the sleeping boy in the corner, and said in a low voice, "Cover him up."

The guard was stunned for a moment, but immediately went to cover Xie Jing with a blanket.

They had already run far away from Qinghe County. On the way back, they deliberately detoured the main road, avoiding places with many mountains and forests, and walked for a full day and night.

Bai Rongjiu never sat in the car with anyone else, and there were very few who could sleep beside him.

I don't know if it's because Xie Jing has been warming him up because he's been living in a small village for the past few days. Bai Jiuye feels that he doesn't reject this little guy at all, and there's nothing wrong with eating and living together.And Xie Jing is very witty, if he wants to talk about something, he immediately finds a reason to go outside to ride a horse, and then returns to the carriage after he finishes his work—it’s not that he is lazy, Xie Jing is doing the changing of the medicine after he comes in. Be very careful.

It's just that if he didn't rush, Xie Jing wouldn't get out of the carriage, and often dawdled for a while before falling asleep next to the corner of the carriage.

Bai Rongjiu thought it was funny, and covered him with a blanket several times, but Xie Jing was different from him, the child was too angry, and soon his face became red with heat, his head emerged from a pile of fur, and he fell asleep In a daze, he pulled down the leather blanket.

When approaching Qinghe County, Xie Jing took the initiative to get into Jiuye's carriage.

After serving tea and pouring water courteously for a while, he tried to do more work to please the master.

Master Jiu took his eyes away from the book and looked up at him: "Tell me, what do you want?"

Xie Jing whispered: "I want to ask for forgiveness from my master."

"Ok?"

"I, I lied."

Xie Jing sat there on her knees and confessed honestly, explaining everything about the name change between herself and Kou Peifeng. After speaking, she carefully looked at Master Jiu's expression, her eyes were wet, like a puppy making a mistake, eagerly.

Master Jiu was silent for a long time this time, the book in his hand fell on his head, and he tapped it lightly and heavily, "Aren't you lying to me anymore?"

"No! I won't lie a single word to you!"

"Ah."

Xie Jing covered her head and looked at him stupidly, still waiting for him to speak.

Master Jiu sneered, raised his hand and said: "Go down, I know, you are not allowed to be so nonsense when you work by my side in the future."

Xie Jing happily went down to ride the horse, full of energy.

The convoy stopped at Qinghe Baifu.

Several people had already been waiting in front of the door, even the master of the Bai family stood outside the door looking forward to it, when he saw Master Jiu's carriage coming, he hurried up to meet him regardless of his status.The other waiting Bai Mingzhe and his wife were also standing there. Fang Yurou was wrapped up thickly and wore a thick velvet hat on her head. She also wanted to go forward. She had to come and thank the savior in person as soon as she said anything.

The people around Master Jiu stepped forward and only helped Master Bai get into the carriage, stopping the others and said, "Master Jiu said that he cannot get out of the carriage due to injuries, and everyone was also frightened, so go back and rest for a few days, don't visit him That's it. Today, only Mr. Bai is allowed to get in the car and say a few words, and the rest go back."
