Xin Xichun didn't know why she had come to ancient times. Everything had happened so suddenly.
Every day, when she woke up, she thought that it was a dream, a very unreal dream. However, it was not a dream, and everything had really happened.
How long had she been in ancient times? Xin Xichun didn't remember.
How long was she going to stay in this ancient era? She did not know either.
The only thing that Xin Xichun was sure of was that she would return to her original world one day because she did not belong here.
Although the Jia family had kindly taken her in, and Old Lady Jia had even taken her in as her goddaughter, she did not like the lifestyle of the ancient people at all.
A young lady from a wealthy family had to stay in her room obediently. At most, she would practice the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, or embroidery. However, this was completely incompatible with her personality!
Heavens! She was about to suffocate.
If this continued, she would definitely go crazy, so she had to think of a way before she went crazy.
At this moment, Xin Xichun's personal maid, Fang 'er, came into the room with a tray of things.
"Miss, this is the bird's nest with rock sugar that Old Furen specially asked me to send over.”
Xin Xichun glanced at Fang 'er with waning interest, then lazily said,""Just put the things on the table.”
"Yes."
However, Fang 'er did not leave immediately after putting down her things. "Miss, do you have any other instructions?"
"No, you can leave!" Xin Xichun sighed. She just wanted to go out for a walk.
"Yes."
Just as Fang 'er turned around and was about to leave, Xin Xichun inadvertently glanced at Fang' er's back. At this moment, a thought flashed into Xin Xichun's clever mind.
"Wait a minute, Fang 'er." Xin Xichun stopped her.
"Miss, what's the matter?" Fang 'er asked.
"This bowl of bird's nest with rock sugar is for you!”Xin Xichun smiled and brought the bird's nest with rock sugar to Fang 'er.
"This…this won't do. This is what Old Furen wanted to give Young Lady to eat.”Fang 'er was flattered.
"What does it matter? No one knows." Xin Xichun said excitedly to Fang 'er,""Fang 'er, let me ask you, our height and body shape are about the same, right?”
Fang 'er did not know what her Miss Xichun was happy about, but she still answered honestly,""That's right."
"Fang 'er, I need your help with something. Only you can help me.”Xin Xichun held Fang 'er's hand.
"Miss, what do you want Fang 'er to help you with?”To be honest, Fang 'er was a little flattered.
"It's just…"
Xin Xichun revealed her plan. It turned out that she wanted to use the underhanded method of pretending to be Fang 'er and sneaking out of the Jia residence, while Fang' er would stay in Xiaofeng Mansion and pretend to be her.
After hearing Xin Xichun's plan, Fang 'er shook her head.
"No, no, if Master and Madam find out, they will definitely beat me to death.”
"If you don't do as I say, what's the point of keeping you alive? You don't have to stay in the Jia residence anymore." Xin Xichun threatened her.
"Miss, are you chasing Fang 'er away?”Fang 'er asked worriedly.
Old Furen doted on Xin Xichun very much and listened to her every word. Fang 'er couldn't help but feel that she was in a precarious situation.
Xin Xichun was half threatening and half persuading,""If you listen to me obediently, I guarantee that you can stay in the Jia residence in peace.”
"Yes."
Xin Xichun's words were like a curse, making Fang 'er unknowingly say the answer she wanted to hear.
"I'm free!"
After Xin Xichun walked out of the Jia residence, she couldn't help but want to cheer loudly. Although she didn't look like Fang 'er at all, because there were too many servants in the Jia residence, the gatekeeper didn't remember the appearance of the servant girls one by one, so this gave Xin Xichun an opportunity.
Xin Xichun only used her long hair to cover her beautiful face and smoothly left the Jia residence behind the gatekeeper.
She stretched her muscles and walked towards the main street. Although she had been in the ancient times for a while, she had not taken a good look around!
What was popular in the era of Ming Chengzu? Xin Xichun was both curious and expectant.
Xin Xichun was looking for treasure on the street in high spirits when she suddenly heard someone shouting,"
"Come and see! The calligraphy of Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty…"
Eh?
Xin Xichun's eyes lit up. Su Dongpo's calligraphy? She immediately rushed to the stall as fast as she could.
"Boss, is this authentic?"
"Of course it's authentic. It's my family heirloom, but I've been short on money recently, so I'm selling it reluctantly.”the boss said.
"I'll buy it!" Xin Xichun didn't ask for the price and directly handed a gold ingot to the boss." Is this enough?”
"Enough, enough." The boss was grinning from ear to ear.
Xin Xichun left with the calligraphy and painting in satisfaction. She felt that she was really lucky to have obtained Su Dongpo's calligraphy so easily.
However, Xin Xichun's good mood was ruined by a man who bumped into her.
"Hey! Why did you…"
After bumping into her, the man did not apologize to her and fled into the crowd. Xin Xichun hurriedly looked at the painting. Fortunately, the painting was fine. Otherwise, her losses would have been disastrous.
"Sigh! It's better to go back."
Being able to buy Su Dongpo's calligraphy and painting today was also considered a harvest, so Xin Xichun decided to return home.
Thieves!
Wei Lin realized that a man had stolen his wallet and thought that he had given it to his accomplices without anyone noticing.
Humph! That thief really had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. He actually dared to provoke the Minister of War.
Wei Lin immediately went forward to catch the thief's accomplice. To his surprise, the accomplice was a young and beautiful girl, and…
"What are you doing?" Xin Xichun glared unhappily at the man who suddenly grabbed her.
Wei Lin was stunned, not because of Xin Xichun's stunning beauty, but because of that familiar feeling.
"Miss, have we met before?”
Xin Xichun raised her eyebrows and looked at him, thinking that this excuse to hook up with girls was too old-fashioned. It was a pity that he had a handsome face!
"If you don't let go of me, I'm going to scream and molest you.”Xin Xichun warned.
Wei Lin came back to his senses and remembered why he had caught the woman in front of him. He pulled her into an alley when no one noticed them.
"Give me back my money."
"What?" Xin Xichun was puzzled. Even if she really did know him, she would not owe him money, let alone not knowing him at all.
Wei Lin insisted." Stop pretending. I saw your accomplice give you the wallet that he stole from me. If you hand it over obediently, I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise…"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
If this man had not mistaken her for someone else, then there was something wrong with his brain. Xin Xichun didn't want to pay attention to him. Right now, she just wanted to quickly take Su Dongpo's calligraphy and painting back to the Jia residence to avoid any unnecessary complications.
Eh?
Xin Xichun realized that there was nothing in her hands. The calligraphy and painting that she was supposed to be holding in her hands had actually disappeared.
"Where are the paintings?"
Xin Xichun's face was pale. She thought that the only possibility was that she had accidentally dropped the calligraphy painting in the panic just now, so she hurriedly wanted to return to the place where she had been earlier to retrieve the precious calligraphy painting.
"Wait, are you trying to escape?" Wei Lin grabbed onto her tightly and refused to let go.
"Let go of me, I want to find the calligraphy and painting!”Xin Xichun screamed. If she didn't hurry up, if she was picked up or stepped on…
"That's not important."
Wei Lin thought that Xin Xichun was putting on an act in front of him and even thought that this female thief had a lot of tricks up her sleeves.
"What's not important? A boor like you wouldn't understand at all!”Xin Xichun blurted out.
"That's right, I'm a boor." Wei Lin felt that he had wasted too much time. "I'm a rough man and I thought of a way to find my wallet.”
"What method?"
"Search him."
As he spoke, Wei Lin started to feel around Xin Xichun's body.
"You…stop!"
Xin Xichun shouted in shame and anger. Even if she didn't grow up in ancient times, she knew that men and women shouldn't touch each other. Moreover, Wei Lin's behavior was already a very serious " sexual harassment ", but could she sue him in ancient times?
"Unless I find my wallet."
Wei Lin had no intention of stopping. Xin Xichun was so angry that tears were about to fall.
"I didn't take your wallet at all!”
"Then what is this?"
Wei Lin took out a wallet from her waist. Xin Xichun looked at the wallet in surprise and said,""I don't know…Ah! Oh right, someone must have bumped into me just now and hidden the wallet on me.”
Xin Xichun thought that this was the only possibility, but Wei Lin scoffed and said,"
"Now that we've been caught red-handed, do you still want to quibble?”
"I'm not trying to quibble." Xin Xichun hated it when people wrongly accused her. "I am Xin Xichun from the Jia family. The Jia family is the richest family in Jinling.”
"Jia Residence? Xin Xichun? Are you one of the twelve golden hairpins?"
Wei Lin had heard about the twelve golden hairpins of the Jia family. He had heard that they were all as beautiful as flowers and were rare beauties. Judging from the woman's outstanding appearance, she was telling the truth.
"That's right. If you know, let go of me.”
Wei Lin let go of his hand, but he still asked in confusion,""If you are really one of the twelve golden hairpins, you should be staying in the Jia residence. Why are you wearing the clothes of a servant girl and wandering on the streets?”
"I don't have to tell you."
Since Wei Lin had already let her go, Xin Xichun only wanted to find her calligraphy and painting as soon as possible.
She immediately ran to the place where Wei Lin had grabbed her, but she couldn't find the painting.
" It's gone! The calligraphy and painting are gone!" Xin Xichun was so disappointed.
Wei Lin followed closely behind Xin Xichun and comforted her,""It's just a lost painting. Is there a need to be so sad? There were many priceless treasures in the Jia residence. As long as you asked, you could have as many as you wanted, let alone a mere calligraphy painting.”
"You won't understand."
Xin Xichun had always liked Su Dongpo, and she even wanted a man as witty and talented as Su Dongpo.
"I won't understand." "It's just a painting," Wei Lin said.
"I hate you!"
How could he describe her favorite painting as a mere calligraphy and painting! Xin Xichun pushed him angrily, turned around, and stormed off.
"Xin Xichun…"
Wei Lin didn't chase after her. He just looked at Xin Xichun's beautiful back and smiled. She was a woman with quite a personality, and it just so happened that she had aroused his interest.
They would meet again soon, Wei Lin was very sure of this.
"Miss, are you sick?”
Seeing Xin Xichun stomping her feet and sighing at times, Fang 'er couldn't help but worry if she was feeling unwell somewhere.
"No, I'm fine."
If she had to say something, she was probably so angry that she fell sick.
He was caught for no reason, accused of being a thief for no reason, and even touched all over his body for no reason.
In short, she was extremely unlucky!
"Miss, you haven't paid your respects to Old Furen today!”Fang 'er reminded her.
Ever since Xin Xichun entered the Jia residence, Old Madam Jia had doted on her and even took her in as her adopted granddaughter. Thus, Xin Xichun would pay her respects to Old Madam Jia almost every day.
"Alright, let's go and pay our respects to Grandma now.”
As she spoke, Xin Xichun brought Fang 'er to Old Madam Jia's courtyard.
However, just as she walked out of the Xiaofeng Inn where she lived, a man blocked her way.
"Miss Xi Chun, I was just about to find you.”
"You…"
Xin Xichun pointed at the man in front of her and couldn't say anything. She didn't expect that the hateful man she met on the street would actually appear in the Jia residence. He reminded her of the painful past.
"What's wrong? Are you too surprised or too happy to see me?”Wei Lin laughed.
"I'm too angry!" Xin Xichun finally found her voice. "This is the Jia residence! This isn't a place that anyone can enter. How did you get in?”
"Of course I came in through the main door. By the way, I'm not a casual person. My surname is Wei and my name is Ling. I'm the Minister of War and a friend of the young master of the Jia family, Jia Baoyu.”
Wei Lin's self-introduction had no effect on Xin Xichun. She rolled her eyes at him.
"I didn't ask who you are. Since you're Jia Baoyu's friend, you should go find him. My Xiaofeng House doesn't welcome you.”
Xin Xichun's attitude towards him was not very good. Wei Lin could understand this because that day was completely his fault.
"I'm here to apologize to you."
As he spoke, Wei Lin took out his apology gift.
"Humph! Don't think that you can bribe me like this.”Xin Xichun didn't even look at the apology gift.
"Take a good look first." Wei Lin said. He was confident that this gift would definitely move Xin Xichun.
Xin Xichun reluctantly glanced at the apology gift, and this glance made her eyes light up.
He had actually compensated her with Su Dongpo's handwritten anthology!
"You…"
Wei Lin felt a little upset because Xin Xichun's bright eyes didn't even look at him.
"This is written by Su Shi himself. There is only one such book in the world.”
He had found this from his father's treasure vault. He had done this just to make the beauty smile.
"You want to give it to me?" Xin Xichun was so happy that her voice was trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Wei Lin couldn't help but have the thought of teasing her. He put away the anthology.
"I changed my mind."
"How could you change your mind!" Xin Xichun's disappointment was written all over her face.
The expression on her face was really rich. Wei Lin thought to himself with interest. Even if he looked at her every day, he probably wouldn't feel bored!
"Why can't I change my mind?”
"Why don't I buy it from you? Name your price." Xin Xichun said generously.
Wei Lin smiled.
"A kiss."
"What?" Xin Xichun thought that she had misheard. Wei Lin's bid was not one thousand taels, nor was it ten thousand taels, but a kiss?
Was he deliberately teasing her?
"A kiss is worth it, right?" Wei Lin said.
Was a kiss worth it? Although Xin Xichun really wanted the thing in Wei Lin's hand, it was impossible for her to kiss him for it. She was very conservative and thought that her first kiss should be with the person she liked.
"Forget it, I don't want it."
As she spoke, Xin Xichun turned her face away.
However, Wei Lin muttered to himself,""If you don't want it, it's like trash to me. Then why don't you throw it away?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Lin pretended to throw the thing in his hand into the small pond nearby.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Seeing this, Xin Xichun rushed forward to save the treasure without thinking. In the end, she couldn't stop for a moment, and her face bumped into Wei Lin's…No, more accurately, her lips bumped into Wei Lin's lips.
Sigh! How could it be so…damn it, it was just right. Xin Xichun covered her lips. She really didn't know what to say. Her first kiss was taken away under such circumstances!
"Miss Xichun, even if you want to kiss me, you don't have to be so impatient!”Wei Lin licked his lips.
The smart Xin Xichun knew that she shouldn't be arguing with him at this time, so she didn't retort.
Wei Lin wasn't a stingy person, so he handed over the items in his hands with both hands. "Since you are so sincere,
Give me your kiss, and this is yours.”
"Wei Lin!" Xin Xichun stomped her feet in anger.
"You must remember this name, because I will come and find you again.”Wei Lin said before leaving.
"Who wants to remember you? I must forget this name!”Xin Xichun shouted at his back.
She had always thought that she was smart, but why was she like a defeated rooster in front of Wei Lin?
Damn it! She had to win next time. Xin Xichun could not help but swear to the heavens.
Xin Xichun arrived at the courtyard where Old Madam Jia lived, but her emotions stirred up by Wei Lin were unable to calm down for a long time.
"Xichun, do you have something on your mind?”
Old Madam Jia was indeed an experienced and knowledgeable person. She knew that Xin Xichun had something on her mind at a glance.
"No, no." How could Xin Xichun reveal her embarrassing past?
However, Fang 'er interrupted from the side,""Old Furen, I think Young Lady wants to get married.”
"Fang 'er, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Hearing Fang 'er say this, Xin Xichun almost fainted. How could she marry someone, let alone an "ancient"?
"Xichun, don't stop her. Let Fang 'er continue.”Old Madam Jia said.
Fang 'er's words piqued Old Madam Jia's interest. Could it be that Xichun already had a partner?
With the old madam's support, Fang 'er continued,""Just now, Young Lady met the Minister of War. The two of them seemed to have a good impression of each other!”
"How do we like each other?" Xin Xichun rolled her eyes.
"There is." "If Young Lady didn't have a good impression of him, why would she kiss the Minister of War?"”
"Kiss?" Old Madam Jia looked at Xin Xichun.
"No! No…" Xin Xichun was very panicked, as if she had been caught doing something wrong. " This is a misunderstanding. That's…my lips accidentally touched his. I definitely don't have any good feelings for him. How could I have any good feelings for a man who used to mess around with me?"
Xin Xichun suddenly stopped talking. Sigh! Why did she seem to be making things worse?
"From what you're saying, Wei Lin seemed to have done something inappropriate to you?" Old Madam Jia said shrewdly.”
"No!"
Xin Xichun didn't dare to say anything more, afraid that trouble would come from her mouth. However, her appearance would only make people more suspicious.
"Alright, I have my own plans for this matter," Old Madam Jia said.”
"Grandma, what are your plans?" Xin Xichun asked uneasily.
"Of course it's that Wei family's kid who has to take responsibility for you.”Old Madam Jia smiled cunningly.
"How?" Heavens! Could it be that Old Madam Jia was thinking of…
"Wei Lin is Bao Yu's friend, and I raised him from a young age. I know his character very well. If you have a good impression of him, I will hint him to come to our house to propose marriage.”Old Madam Jia said.
"Please don't!"
She was only thinking about how to return to the modern world. One day, she would also leave the Jia family. How could she get married now, and marry an ancient person? Don't joke around.
However, would Old Madam Jia give up on the golden marriage that she had set her mind on so easily? This…probably only God and Old Madam Jia knew!#
