Sugar Jar [Rebirth]

On this day, it happened that the master was taking a rest, and the children of the family studies did not have to go to the private school.

Shi Chen was reading in the room, and the problem that he didn't like to read in the past showed its disadvantages at this time, which meant that if he wanted to keep up with the progress, he had to put in more effort than ordinary people.

He was flipping through the books here, while Xi Xin was playing with the kitten in front.

This white cat was bought by Shi Chen from outside some time ago, so that Xi Xin would not feel bored when he was in the house.Whenever he finished reading the book and finished all the things that should be done, he would always think of helping others. There are so many things that servants have to do on weekdays, how could Shi Chen be willing to let him do it? These things, so I can only find something else to distract Xi Xin.

That's how this little white furball came about.

The little furball is very close to Xi Xin. Even though Shi Chen is its nominal owner, it doesn't like to talk to anyone except Xi Xin. It always looks aloof and cold on weekdays, even the maid who feeds it cat food , didn't even get a look from it, it was very proud.

It's just that once in front of Xi Xin, she acted coquettishly, rolled around and acted cute, using all kinds of methods to the fullest.

No, the little white cat was rolling around on the ground, and then it meowed at Xi Xin, making him laugh all the time.

"Are you bored?" Xi Xin picked it up and put it in her arms, not minding that the kitten was still rolling on the ground just now.

The kitten looked at him with eyes as blue as the sky, and then purred softly.

Xi Xin looked at the second young master who was reading seriously. He lowered his head and smiled at the kitten, "I'll talk to the second young master, and then I'll take you for a walk in the yard, okay?"

The life of being a book boy is much simpler than Xi Xin imagined. Apart from going to the private school with the young masters, there is basically no need to do anything. Will greet with a smile.

Apart from the fact that Second Young Master doesn't like reading very much and looks a bit fierce, he is also a very nice person.

But with Mrs. Shi's acquiescence and Shi Chen's deliberate connivance, Xi Xin's life in Jingkehou's mansion is getting easier day by day.

Seeing Xi Xin approaching, Shi Chen put down the book in hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xi Xin hugged the kitten, each of them raised their eyes, looking at him with clear and clean eyes.

Xi Xin asked expectantly, "Second Young Master, can I take it for a walk?"

Shi Chen froze for a moment, then nodded: "You go, remember to come back early."

Xi Xin nodded happily, and then left with the kitten.

Looking at his cheerful figure going away, Shi Chen suddenly felt envious of the kitten who could go out with Xi Xin.

He looked at the book in his hand, at least half of the piled up books were still unfinished.

"Young people don't work hard, the old ones are sad..." Shi Chen said weakly, after convincing himself with this reason, he continued to read the book resignedly.

Xi Xin didn't go far, but took the kitten to the nearest courtyard.

The servants in the mansion are basically familiar with him. When they see Xi Xin, they know that this is the book boy next to the Second Young Master.

Xi Xin's popularity is very good, and the maids who take care of the flowers and plants in the garden have long been familiar with him, and they occasionally meet and say a few words.

As soon as the kitten got outside, it ran forward like a wild horse that had run loose.

After it got down from Xi Xin's arms, it ran very fast.

Since it was brought into the mansion, it has been stuffed in Shi Chen's yard, basically unable to go anywhere except the back room.

When the two went to the private school, the kitten was taken care of by the servant and the maid.It is the second young master's favorite pet, and the servants enshrine it like a Buddha, for fear that it will get hurt if it escapes by mistake, so they have always regarded it tightly.

Now Xi Xin brought it out, but the kitten was overjoyed.

Xi Xin chased it to the courtyard, but a white figure came into view.

Shi Lin sat quietly in the gazebo and read a book, concentrating on it without being affected in the slightest.

Xi Xin picked up the kitten, rubbed its little head with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Don't disturb the young master, or I won't give you dried fish tonight."

Xi Xin thought her movements were light, and Shi Lin, who was concentrating on reading, didn't notice him. In fact, he had just entered the courtyard when Shi Lin noticed Xi Xin.

It's just that neither of them spoke.

One is reading a book in the gazebo, and the other is playing with a kitten nearby.The two get along quite well.

Xi Xin watched the kitten play, then seemed to think of something, took out the small backpack she was carrying, and took out a can of candy.

He opened the sugar bowl, took out the candy, and after eating one, he rolled his eyes happily.

Xi Xin counted with her fingers. In a few days, it will be a month since he came to the house. The second young master said that the butler will issue a monthly report uniformly.

The candy in the sugar bowl is almost gone.

Xi Xin had already thought about it. When the time comes, she will be paid her wages. Except for a small part to buy sugar, the rest will be saved and given to her parents when she returns home at the end of the year.

By the time of the Chinese New Year, there will be a lot of money!Mother will be very happy.

"Xi Xin." He heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be the eldest son.

Xi Xin clutched the corner of her clothes uneasily, wondering if she had disturbed him.

He picked up the kitten and planned to leave.

As if sensing his restraint, the little furball didn't struggle, and lay obediently in Xi Xin's arms.

"Young master, I..." I left first.

Xi Xin was about to say this, but who knew Shi Lin put down the book and looked at him seriously, his eyes suddenly became very gentle.

He asked, "Do you like reading?"

Although it is doubtful, it has already been determined long ago.

Xi Xin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Shi Lin to say this, he nodded his head lightly, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, I like it."

When talking about "like", Xi Xin raised her head, her eyes were full of starlight, and her eyes were full of joy.

"I see." Shi Lin smiled lowly, and then said to Xi Xin, "I have Mr. Jiu Ling's poetry collection in my room, do you want to read it?"

Hearing this, Xi Xin's eyes lit up, and she asked happily, "But the Mr. Xue Jiuling that Master mentioned?"

Shi Lin nodded.

Xue Jiuling was a famous literary master in the previous dynasty, and he left many amazing masterpieces during his lifetime.It's a pity that after his death, due to the carelessness of descendants, a fire broke out at night. Many manuscripts of Xue Jiuling were almost completely burned in the fire, leaving only a few orphan copies, which have been found in the market now. Not anymore.

Mrs. Shi came from a scholarly family, and her family is an aristocratic family—the Lin family of Luoshui. The Lin family has been passed down for hundreds of years. The emperor's teacher.

Even after the change of dynasties, the Lin family has never been shaken.

Xue Jiuling's rare copy that was handed down came to the Lin family by accident, and was later passed on as a dowry to Mrs. Shi, who was still a noble daughter of the Lin family at that time.

"His "Nine Age Poetry Collection" is in my mother's place, and my mother gave it to me. If you want to read it, I can show it to you."

Although Xi Xin really wanted to see Xue Jiuling's calligraphy with his own eyes, but this rare copy was too precious, and he didn't dare to touch it, for fear of accidentally damaging the treasure.

He shook his head seriously.

Shi Lin suddenly understood his hesitation, then smiled and said, "If you have any concerns, why not write a copy of his poetry collection and take it home to read slowly?"

"Is it possible?" The reason why the orphan copy is precious is that it is the only one in the world, and its significance and value cannot be described in any words.

"It's just for observation, it's okay."

"Every day at You hour, I have nothing to do in the house, you can come over." Shi Lin picked up the book, nodded to Xi Xin, and then left the pavilion.

Shi Chen found that since Xi Xin took the kitten out for a trip, he came back and became a little strange. From time to time, he raised his head to look out the window, carefully observed the sky, and then stretched out his fingers, bowed his head and muttered something silently, like Is counting in general.

When Shi Chen saw him thinking about it, his expression was so serious that he didn't even notice that the kitten was acting like a baby beside him, so he couldn't help but became more curious.

"Xi Xin, what are you doing?" he asked.

After Xi Xin counted her fingers, she suddenly looked out of the window excitedly, and then asked, "Master, is it you hour?"

Shi Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, "It's exactly the time of You. You..."

Xi Xin picked up the kitten and put it in Shi Chen's arms. Sensing the dangerous aura, the cat almost exploded.

"I'm going to the eldest son's study to transcribe a collection of poems! I'll be back in a while." Xi Xin said happily.

"..." Shi Chen was startled, "Wait, where are you going?"

Xi Xin smiled and turned her head: "Young Master's study room! "Nine Age Poetry Collection" is so rare!"

He waved at Shi Chen: "I won't tell you anymore, time is urgent, I have to go there quickly."

Suddenly there was only one person and one cat left in the house.

Shi Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at the kitten expressionlessly.

The kitten looked at him innocently, "Meow?"

""Nine Age Poetry Collection"?" He asked Kitten.

Kitten: "Meow?"

Shi Chen thought about what happened before he was reborn. The childhood events were too far away for Shi Chen, and he even began to lose his memory. He only remembered that his mother had separated the two brothers Call and ask them if they have ever wanted something.

Shi Lin did not hesitate to choose a few lonely copies.

And at that time, what did he choose?

Oh, a very precious sword of the Warring States Period - Chengying.

Shi Chen thought with a blank face.

Failed.
