Zhao Jing woke up early in the morning and went to town.
When he came back, he dealt with the little girl's matters and wrote a lot of words.
Before his hair was completely dry, he was already yawning.
He was about to say that he would take the quilt cover and go back to his room to sleep when a little girl came over from behind.
Lin Anan was small and skinny, and she didn't weigh much.
Zhao Jing couldn't help but smile as he helped her onto the pillow. He saw that her brows were tightly furrowed, and she seemed to be sleeping uncomfortably.
"It's okay. Go to sleep."
Zhao Jing gently stroked the little girl's tightly furrowed brows and said softly.
The little girl seemed to have heard his words, and her tightly knitted brows slowly relaxed.
Zhao Jing sat for a while longer, listening to the little girl's soft breathing. He felt a little drowsy.
Seeing that the little girl was fine, Zhao Jing blew out the oil lamp and went to the room next door in the dark.
The hard bed was covered with a thin layer of cloth.
She was covered with a thin quilt cover and her own thick clothes.
Zhao Jing closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.
......
It was a dreamless night.
The next day, she woke up early as usual.
Zhao Jing didn't light the lamp and went straight to the kitchen in the dark.
In the kitchen, there was some light from the fire. The little girl had already been busy in the kitchen.
Seeing Zhao Jing sneak into the kitchen, Lin Anan put down her work and walked over.""Husband, why did you come here directly?”
"I'll get some water for you to wash up."
"Did you sleep well?" Zhao Jing asked with a smile.”
Lin Anan nodded and said shyly,""Last night, I fell asleep before my husband's hair was dry.”
"When did husband return to his room?”
"You went back not long after you fell asleep.”
Zhao Jing sat down and casually chatted with the little girl. He watched as the little girl fetched water for him to wash up.
The temperature of the water in the basin was just right, neither too cold nor too hot.
After Zhao Jing was done washing up, the porridge in the pot was boiling.
"Husband, are you still going out of the city today?”
"Yes, I have to go out."
"Then I'll make some biscuits for my husband to eat?”
"No need to go through so much trouble." Zhao Jing shook his head and refused.”
"If I'm hungry, I'll buy some food in the city.”
Lin Anan suddenly felt uneasy.
She wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she still said something.
Zhao Jing seemed to have read her mind and suddenly smiled.
After the two of them finished breakfast, Zhao Jing went back to the study room to pack up his manuscripts. When he took the money, he saw the little girl's small cloth bag again.
Zhao Jing held it in his hand and thought of the little girl's uneasy look just now. He felt that he was a little naughty.
He knew that the little girl was worried that he would starve in the city because he did not have money.
However, he didn't expose her. He saw her purse her lips and look like she was in a difficult position.
He originally wanted the little girl to miss him and not think too much about other things.
But thinking about it, he was really a little bad.
As usual, Lin Anan prepared a water bag and an old umbrella for him.
After Zhao Jing took it, she bit her lips and took out something wrapped in cloth.
Zhao Jing had just put the basket on his back when he saw something being handed to him. He looked at Lin Anan in confusion.
Lin Anan opened the thing in her hand. There was a small silver hairpin inside.
She raised her head and looked at Zhao Jing with bright eyes.
"Husband, this is the hairpin that mother gave me. You, you can pawn it in the city.”
"The things in the city are expensive. I don't know how much silver you can exchange them for, but it should be enough for you to eat your fill in the city these days.”
"I, I will go to the mountain to chop firewood today. I will give you silver tomorrow.”
"Let's think of a way to get the money that husband owes us."
The little silver hairpin in the little girl's hand was probably not worth half a tael of silver.
However, it was probably her most valuable dowry after the 20 copper coins.
"Here." Lin Anan reached out her little hand and gestured for Zhao Jing to take it.
This was the most valuable hairpin in her dowry. It was what her mother had given her when she married her father.
This was the first hairpin she had received.
She liked this hairpin very much. From the moment she got the hairpin until now, she was reluctant to wear it.
Looking at the little girl's clear eyes, there was a little reluctance, but more than that, there was concern for him and happiness.
Zhao Jing felt as if someone had poked his heart softly, and his heart felt a little numb.
This pitiful little thing was really heartbreaking.
He suddenly sighed.
Zhao Jing, you're really a bad person!
Zhao Jing reached out his hand and wrapped it around the little girl's small hand before closing it together.
Lin Anan was speechless.
"Keep your dowry," Zhao Jing said.”
"But husband!"
She had heard yesterday that her husband owed her eldest uncle a lot of money.
Most of it was owed by her husband when he got married.
Her husband was a scholar, so she had no choice but to bring rations out of the city.
However, she could not let her husband starve in the city.
Lin Anan also thought about it carefully before deciding to take out this hairpin.
However, her husband rejected her.
At this moment, Zhao Jing took out something from his pocket. It was the small cloth bag that Lin Anan had given him yesterday.
The copper coins inside had not been touched.
Zhao Jing took out the little girl's small cloth bag and placed it on her other hand.
"Here, this is your twenty copper coins.”
"Ah?" Lin Anan looked at the purse in her hand in a daze.
"Husband went to the city yesterday. Did you not have any flowers?”
"I didn't plan to spend it in the first place," Zhao Jing said helplessly.”
"Keep your dowry. When you have money in the future, it won't be too late to return it to me slowly.”
Lin Anan was about to say something when Zhao Jing hugged her gently.
The man's tall body hugged her loosely, and Lin Anan froze instantly.
Zhao Jing let go of her quickly and said in a low voice,""I'm a scholar. Although I can't do business, I still have many ways to make money.”
"Moreover, I still have some money left at home. It's enough for me to go to the city.”
"You don't have to worry about this."
"Obedient?"
Lin Anan's face was a little hot. She lowered her eyes slightly, and her dense eyelashes fluttered like fans.
"I, did I do something wrong?"
Her husband was a scholar and so capable.
This bit of money was actually nothing to him.
Zhao Jing smiled and touched her little face." You didn't do anything wrong."”
"Lin Anan, although we are not very familiar with each other, I am very happy.”
Lin Anan raised her head in confusion. She didn't know why her husband was so happy all of a sudden.
However, she was sure that as long as her husband was happy, she would be happy too.
"Don't go out today," Zhao Jing said gently.”
"I'm going to the city. I'll be back soon.”
Today, the clan leader and his uncle were going to the Lin family village to ask for an explanation from the Lin family.
When it was done, they would definitely come to his house.
The little girl would definitely be scared if she saw them at home alone.
Thinking of this.
After Zhao Jing finished speaking, he did not delay any longer and turned to leave.
Lin Anan quickly jogged to the door.
Zhao Jing waved his hand." Close the door. You don't have to be afraid at home.”
"My husband will be back soon."
