I'm here to find my son

Nan Zimu followed several servants who helped him carry the luggage to Lord Hou's yard. The servants just carried the boxes in and left quietly.

This courtyard is strangely deserted, and there is not even a plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard, unlike other courtyards in the mansion, which have more or less elegant names.

He continued to walk in, the furnishings here were no more exquisite than Zhuoyulou, it was still in the style of both refined and popular tastes, but at first glance it made people feel very comfortable, there were no other special features anymore.

The corners of Nan Zimu's mouth twitched, it seemed that Li Xingzhi was not an idle person, the food and clothing in this mansion were really economical, but the items that the Crown Princess casually gave him were all priceless.

Li Xingzhi still has that ambition.

"Brother... The servant is negligent. I have been tidying up the room for a long time, and I forgot the time." Xiao Zhen trotted all the way over, panting like a broken bellows, but she still spoke fluently.

That brother was originally with his back turned to him, looking at the gate there, when he made a sound, Nan Zimu turned around slowly.

The cinnabar mole in the corner of his eye was still there, and his brows and eyes were still gentle at first and indifferent at the second, Xiao Zhen's nose was a little sore, and she stayed where she was.

Until Nan Zimu called lightly: "Xiao Zhen."

Xiao Zhen finally came to her senses, she was really overjoyed, she closed the door with a "bang", came back and stared at Nan Zimu up and down for a few seconds: "You... are still alive?"

Last night, Bitao came over and told him that a brother would bring his son to live here. Xiao Zhen looked forward to it a little, and then became a little nervous. When Master Hou and Song Ci were not around, the courtyard Not even a human figure.If this newcomer is easy to get along with, he might still find a talking partner.

Unexpectedly, this Ah Xi was actually him...

"Why should I die?" Nan Zimu followed him inside.

Xiao Zhen glanced at him again, with 1 questions in her mind, but she didn't know where to start to ask, and he said again: "I thought...that you were disposed of by your wife, but she didn't kill you." You, did you just let you go? Then why are you back?"

Nan Zimu replied in a low voice: "She just didn't come in time. I was saved by someone else. My son is still here, how could he not come back."

After answering so many questions in one go, Nan Zimu didn't show signs of getting impatient yet.

"How did you save it? Do you have the key? When the princess concubine and I went to look for you - Xiao Shizi was crying inside, the door was still locked, but he couldn't find you after entering."

"Well... I don't know, maybe he pried open the door, and I wasn't there when I woke up." Nan Zimu replied.

Xiao Zhen opened the door for him, and after Nan Zimu stepped in, he asked again: "Then what are you going to do? You can't snatch the child back and hide it alone. You came to live here... Marquis usually doesn't like to let other people live here, he is willing to let you live in, could it be that... he wants to take you as a concubine?"

Nan Zimu was very helpless: "Why should I commit myself to be a concubine?" As long as he didn't dislike Li Xingzhi, how could Li Xingzhi have such a big face to make him put down his figure and become a small one?Nan Zimu thought so.

In front of Nan Zimu, Xiaozhen put up the airs of a little adult, and said frankly: "Madam is still here, she is the youngest daughter of the prime minister, and she is the daughter of the prime minister's wife. Even if Lord Hou likes you, there is no reason Divorce her. Even if she made any mistakes, Lord Hou will not offend the current prime minister."

Nan Zimu sneered inwardly for someone who compromised for fear of offending the powerful, he wouldn't like it.

"If he is such a person." Nan Zimu was a little amused, and snorted coldly, "It's meaningless to be with him."

Xiao Zhen seemed to have heard some shocking remarks, and whispered: "Why do you think so? Master Hou has such good conditions, and being his concubine is a blessing that no one can envy."

Nan Zimu thought that maybe because he came from the mountains, he couldn't understand the thoughts of the people in the capital. He was a little displeased: "You mean to let me serve a husband with a woman who wants to kill me. This is what you call Is it a blessing? Am I extremely ugly or poor? Is it worthwhile to rush to sell yourself at a low price?"

Although Nan Zimu spoke very slowly, Xiao Zhen still listened patiently to what he said word by word, and felt that his nonsense really made sense.But this question ended, but Xiao Zhen returned to the original question: "Then what are you going to do?"

"It depends." Nan Zimu was perfunctory and didn't bother to answer.

At noon, Hongyu delivered another table of good dishes. Taking advantage of the time when Xiaozhen went to eat, she lowered her head and leaned into Nan Zimu's ear and said, "We were the ones who scared the snake last night. Mr. Yazhai has added more than a dozen guards in the mansion, and they are on duty day and night, and it is even more difficult to leave now, do you still want to take that Lord Hou with you now?"

"Nonsense." Nan Zimu said, "Is my godhood lost for nothing?"

Hongyu pondered for a moment, and said: "If you bring him back, will your godhead come back? Why don't you go back earlier and follow me and Dahu to practice together, maybe you can make a little fairy."

Nan Zimu said expressionlessly: "Cultivate from the beginning? You might as well let me die right away."

"..."

Nan Zimu thought for a while, and then said: "Since he is a god, I will wait for him to complete his merits and virtues, and then I will go back and explain to the Emperor of Heaven. That old man returned all his godhead and mana to me..."

Hongyu rolled her eyes and interrupted him: "If he forgets you once he returns to the sky, and he doesn't recognize you when he ascends to heaven, what should we do? You don't know which fairy he is."

"And Phoenix, he might..."

"It might be hundreds of years before he comes down to beat you up, and you were rotten to the bone at that time." Hongyu said unhappily, "You used to be a mountain god, I dare not speak of you, don't be like that in everything. Take it for granted, if everything went as smoothly as you thought, would you still be where you are today?"

Nan Zimu: ...

"Then rotten to the bone, it is impossible to practice again, and it is impossible to practice again in this life."

Hongyu shook her head resentfully: "It's hopeless."

Xiaozhen still couldn't change her habit of gorging on food, and cleaned up the food in two or three strokes. After finishing, she stood in front of Nan Zimu's door and knocked on the door, asking, "Axi, are you going to feed the fish?"

"Go." Nanzimu agreed, and then put Xiao Huanxi into the cradle. Although Hongyu did not ask for consent, in Nanzimu's eyes, a rabbit has no human rights. He quickly said: "For I look at him."

Before Hongyu had time to refuse, Nan Zimu had already slicked his feet and slipped away.She could use spells to pull him back, but after so many years of calling "My lord, my lord", even though he has lost his mana now, Hongyu still dare not offend him. This kind of feeling is like a child's reverence for his strict father , it is difficult to change it for a while.

There is a pond in Li Xingzhi's yard, in which a group of koi were raised, Nan Zimu followed Xiao Zhen's example and sprinkled a small handful of feed, the fish surrounded them densely, Nan Zimu looked at them and sent a message will stay.

From Xiao Zhen's point of view, his slightly frowning brows and deep eyes seemed to be thinking about some truth in life.Xiao Zhen asked cautiously: "What are you thinking?"

"Hmm... I was thinking." Nan Zimu leaned on the railing and said seriously, "Can koi be eaten?"

The kitchen hadn't cooked fish in the past few days. Looking at the group of lively koi, he suddenly felt... hungry.

"..." Sure enough, the good appearance can mislead people's eyes.

Xiao Zhen thought about it seriously, and replied: "Eating is edible, but the koi symbolizes good luck, and eating it will bring bad luck."

"Hmm." Nan Zimu suddenly realized and nodded, then turned his head and asked Xiao Zhen, "Can you grill fish?"

"..." Xiao Zhen couldn't laugh or cry for a while, "Are you listening to me? You finished eating the koi of Lord Hou, how should I explain to him when he comes back?"

Nan Zimu seemed to be seriously thinking about a countermeasure, and after a while he nodded his head decently: "Why don't I raise a cat now, and put the blame on it when the time comes, Li Jing can't do anything to a kitten."

Xiao Zhen couldn't hear her, but she still had to deal with it: "It makes sense, you can raise one."

So that night when Xiaozhen was bringing hot water to Nan Zimu's room, she saw the orange cat spread out into a piece of cake beside the charcoal basin. It was sleeping in a big basket covered with a layer of cushions.The kitten raised its four hooves slightly upwards and squinted comfortably.

Xiao Zhen stepped forward and scratched its chin curiously, then raised her head and asked Nan Zimu, "I thought you were just talking, where did you find it?"

Nan Zimu asked Wang Dahu to catch this cat on a whim. Nan Zimu regretted it when he took the cat back. This cat is obviously an immature animal, and he doesn't know where to eat it. into this body type.Nan Zimu looked disgusted and said, "How did you find such a fat one?"

Wang Dahu replied: "I picked it up on the street. This guy is so lazy. I originally imagined a few mice and wanted to introduce it into the house without knowing it. I didn't expect to let a bunch of mice walk slowly in front of it. They even raise their palms lazily. Every day, they roll in circles at the feet of passing women, begging for food—don’t you think it’s very similar to you?”

Nan Zimu was upset: "What does it look like? It's as fat as a pig!"

"Look." Wang Dahu shook the woven basket where the kitten was sleeping, and woke it up. It was dazed for a few seconds, and then lost its temper, and a ball of orange fur rushed towards it. Seeing Wang Dahu pounce on him, trying to scratch his face.Wang Dahu dodged it, and teased, "It's exactly the same."

"Wang Dahu, you can pack up and die!" Nanzi stared at him eagerly, "You look exactly like Chunyan now."

Because Wang Dahu was afraid of being caught by Li Xingzhi, he knocked out a servant in the mansion, and sent him to Zhongnan Mountain, where the monsters looked at him and turned him into his face.

Because this face is so mediocre and completely featureless, every time Nan Zimu hears his voice, he suddenly realizes that this is Wang Dahu.

Wang Dahu didn't know who Chunyan he was talking about, but he still thought it was funny.He put the big fat cat at Nan Zimu's place, leaving Nan Zimu with a regretful expression on his face.

Nan Zimu didn't answer in time, and Xiao Zhen had already started teasing the cat while she was waiting.He was suddenly blessed and asked Xiao Zhen: "Do you like it?"

Xiao Zhen nodded without hesitation.

"Then he will be taken care of by you from now on." Nan Zimu squatted down and scratched the cat's chin like Xiao Zhen, and it showed a satisfied face. He suddenly felt that the fat cat It's actually quite interesting.

So he added another sentence: "You are responsible for feeding him, and I am responsible for playing."

Xiao Zhen, who is not yet an adult, is really helpless: "Brother, it's too much."

Nan Zimu and the cat stared at Xiao Zhen with wide-eyed eyes, but Xiao Zhen couldn't refuse, so she had to step back and say, "Okay."
