23rd year of Hongwu!
Beiping region.
It belonged to the northern border of the Ming Empire.
In a small market town.
A tall and handsome young man dressed in coarse linen clothes was strolling in town. His eyes swept around as if he wanted to buy something.
When he walked to a small stall selling some rouge and cosmetic powder, a smile appeared on the handsome young man's face.
"Auntie, give me some rouge and makeup.”
"How much?"
Zhu Xiong looked at the auntie behind the stall and asked.
"Young man, why are you here to buy makeup for your beloved sister again? When are you going to marry her? You really have good taste. That little girl is so beautiful. She's a good match for you.”The middle-aged woman smiled at Zhu Xiong.
His words were full of ridicule.
This town wasn't big. Zhu Xiong was just an ordinary citizen living in this town. He had been living here since he was nine years old. After so many years, Zhu Xiong was already sixteen years old. Naturally, he knew all the townspeople in town.
Of course.
Although Zhu Xiong was only 16 years old, he was an ordinary person. He was not the kind of pampered young master. He looked very mature and sensible.
Hearing this woman's words.
Zhu Xiong did not have any misgivings as he chuckled and said,"Then I'll take your word for it. I'll definitely marry Jin 'er in the future and give birth to a few fat boys.”
The old lady smiled and took out some rouge powder. Then, she handed it to Zhu Xiong."Take it. It's free."
"Auntie, you have to pay.”
"The same price."
Zhu Xiong smiled and took out some copper coins from his pocket, placing them on the stall.
Then, she picked up the rouge powder and turned to leave.
He looked at Zhu Xiong's back.
This woman was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
"Sigh, he's a good kid. It's a pity that his grandmother passed away two years ago. Otherwise, we would have been able to see him get married and have children.”The auntie sighed.
After buying the rouge and cosmetic powder.
Zhu Xiong's face was filled with joy as he walked home.
Zhu Xiong's home was also in this town.
He opened a small shop selling wine. This was left to him by Zhu Xiong's grandmother, so he had always cherished it.
He returned to his home.
There were all kinds of wine jars placed inside, and the fragrance of wine permeated the air.
"Jin 'er."
"I'm back."
"I brought you the best rouge powder and candied haws.”
Zhu Xiong shouted happily into the room, waving the gift in his hand.
The Jin 'er he was talking about was a girl he had saved outside town two years ago. She was slightly younger than him and was called Xu Jin' er. After she was rescued, Zhu Xiong had taken good care of her. After that, she had stayed at home to live with Zhu Xiong for two years.
In these two years.
According to the past.
Xu Jin 'er would definitely run out happily to take it.
But today, for some reason.
Xu Jin 'er did not respond.
"What happened today? Did Jin 'er go out?”
Zhu Xiong walked into the house with a puzzled expression.
It entered his eyes.
A young girl was sitting on a chair in a daze. Her eyes were lifeless, as if something had happened.
Zhu Xiong made a noise when he came in, but she did not have any reaction.
"Jin 'er."
Zhu Xiong walked to Xu Jin 'er's side and said gently as he looked at her lifeless face.
Hearing that.
Xu Jin 'er finally regained her senses. When she saw Zhu Xiong, a smile appeared on her face, but a complicated look appeared in her eyes.
"Brother Xiong." Xu Jin 'er said gently.
"Jin 'er, what's wrong with you?"
"You're so listless. What happened?”Zhu Xiong said worriedly.
"I'm fine."
"It's just…it's just that my family found me.”Xu Jin 'er said absentmindedly.
"That's a good thing."
"My Jin 'er can finally reunite with her family.”Zhu Xiong said with a smile. He was genuinely happy for Xu Jin 'er.
When she saved Xu Jin 'er, she seemed to have lost her memory. She didn't talk about her family, but Zhu Xiong could tell that Jin' er missed her family.
Now that his family had found him, how could Zhu Xiong not be happy for him?
Seeing Zhu Xiong's smile, Xu Jin 'er forced a smile.
"By the way, when did they come? Why didn't I know?”Zhu Xiong asked again.
"Just now." Xu Jin 'er replied.
"Then I really missed it."
Zhu Xiong nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment.
She also understood why Xu Jin 'er was so absent-minded. Perhaps she was worried that she would have to part with her after she was brought home.
"Brother Xiong."
Xu Jin 'er suddenly stood up and walked towards Zhu Xiong with a puzzled expression.
"How…"
Zhu Xiong replied gently, but before he could finish his sentence.
Xu Jin 'er tiptoed and faced Zhu Xiong directly.
A feeling that he had never felt before assaulted Zhu Xiong's entire body.
"Brother Xiong, take me." Xu Jin 'er said gently.
Following closely.
Xu Jin 'er pushed Zhu Xiong into the room.
Time slowly passed.
From day to night.
The winery was closed for a day and a night.
Until the next morning.
