Sugar Jar [Rebirth]

Before getting into the carriage, Shi Chen couldn't help turning his head, and saw Xi Xin standing outside the door, looking in their direction.

When he noticed Shi Chen's gaze, he held up the kitten's paw and waved it in the direction of the two of them.

Because of the distance, Shi Chen couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but he knew that Xi Xin must be smiling right now.

After that, he also waved vigorously in Xi Xin's direction, and then walked into the carriage.

The curtain was gradually lowered, also blocking all sight outside.

The interior of the carriage seemed a little stuffy for a moment. Shi Lin opened the curtain of the window beside him, originally wanting to let the cool wind blow in from outside, but when he saw the scene outside, he couldn't help but linger for a moment longer. , he said: "It's really a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters."

Shi Chen held the colored lantern in his hand, looked at it in a daze, and when he heard Shi Lin's voice, he answered: "Indeed, this is indeed a beautiful place."

The two brothers haven't sat together to talk for a long time. They have different preferences and what they want to learn. Because they have different missions, they have been enlightened and taught almost separately since they became sensible.

Shi Lin has his responsibilities, his family has high expectations of him, and because Shi Chen is the youngest son in the family, his parents indulge him a bit more.

Speaking of which, it was the first time in the past two years that they were able to sit together and chat peacefully.

Shi Lin mentioned: "This year, my mother will take us to the Grand Master's house to pay New Year's greetings. At that time, several cousins ​​will also post a post to visit at home. Both father and mother are preparing for the New Year, so we will move away for a while. If you don't have time, let me pick you up."

If only the servants or the stewards are allowed to come over to handle errands, it is uncertain whether Shi Chen will be obedient or not.After thinking about it, Mrs. Shi still handed over the matter to her eldest son who had always been calm.

Hearing this, Shi Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Brother, actually you don't need to explain so much to me."

Shi Lin has always been a seldom talker, and the reason why he spoke so long just now is probably because he was afraid that Shi Chen would have a grudge in his heart, thinking that he came here to disturb him on purpose.

Although Shi Chen sometimes dislikes Shi Lin's style of work, in the final analysis, they are still brothers. Most of the time, Shi Chen still respects him, not to mention that Shi Lin is indeed an excellent heir to the title.

What he couldn't do, Shi Lin could do.

Shi Lin's expression softened slightly, and he continued to say to Shi Chen: "Mother has something else to tell you."

"What?"

"If you don't want to deal with them at that time, just ignore them."

Shi Chen pursed his lips, but sneered at others, "It's only natural."

But if someone who doesn't have a good eye insists on posting it, he won't be polite.

The two were still talking when the carriage outside suddenly stopped.

Shi Lin frowned slightly, looked outside, wanted to lift the curtain, and asked what happened, but heard the coachman say: "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, these are Young Master Jin and his good friend."

There were some complicated emotions in the driver's words. It seemed that the scene outside was beyond his expectation, which caused Shi Lin to frown frequently.

When Shi Chen heard Shi Jinzhi's name, he didn't have much surprise on his face, he just lowered his eyes and smiled, and then focused on the colored lantern in his hand, not interested in anything outside.

Shi Lin simply opened the curtain.

He just opened the curtain when he saw Jiang Qinghong running over with Shi Jinzhi.

The breath of the two was unstable, Jiang Qinghong looked embarrassed, Shi Jinzhi seemed calm, but in fact he was not much better than his friends.

"Sincerely, what's the matter with you?" His tone was cold, and there was inevitably a hint of surprise in his tone, "Where's your guard?"

Shi Jinzhi let go of Jiang Qinghong's hand, but he was still in the mood to salute Shi Lin slightly, "I have seen the two uncles."

"Don't be too polite, tell me what happened to you first." When meeting outsiders, Shi Lin, who had always been taciturn, was impeccable in his etiquette.

When he came over, he also heard from his mother that the eldest grandson from the Grand Master's Mansion had also come here, so Shi Lin was ready to meet them, but he never expected that the two would meet again, but in On this occasion.

"This..." Jiang Qinghong's face turned blue, and he glanced at Shi Jinzhi with embarrassment, as if he was a little bit embarrassed.

Shi Jinzhi's face remained unchanged, and he calmly explained: "During the temple fair, I was hit by a girl's colored ball. The guards have not escaped yet to cover us."

Hearing Shi Jinzhi's words, Shi Chen in the car couldn't help but chuckled, he walked out and said with a smile: "If you leave late, maybe you have to stay and be someone else's son-in-law."

Shi Jinzhi answered helplessly: "Uncle, don't make fun of your nephew."

Shi Lin glanced at them, and then told the people behind: "Go and pick up Jinzhi's guards, be careful, and don't hurt the villagers here."

"Sincerely, you all get into the carriage first, and I will take you back home."

Hearing Shi Lin's words, Jiang Qinghong breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a little worried when he met the carriage of the Hou's mansion. After all, it was rumored that the relationship between the two masters and Jing Kehou was not very good, but Shi Jinzhi was. He saluted Shi Lin in a leisurely manner, not to mention that the conversation between the two of them was so harmonious afterwards, which really surprised him.

It seems that although their elders are incompatible with the Hou Mansion, they have not really affected the younger generation.

The two got into the carriage. When Shi Jinzhi saw the lantern in Shi Chen's hand, Shi Jinzhi's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't ask any questions. On the contrary, the friend beside him couldn't help but said in surprise: "Isn't it last night?" Did the boss mention the lantern riddle?"

Jiang Qinghong was also in a hurry, as soon as he said something, he already regretted it, and immediately wanted to slap himself, thinking that you would talk too much.

Shi Chen didn't speak, just looked down at the things in his hands.

But Shi Lin said: "Did you have a good time on New Year's Eve?" His words obviously relieved Jiang Qinghong's embarrassment.

Jiang Qinghong hurriedly said: "It's very lively, and the villagers are very enthusiastic, but...sometimes they are too enthusiastic."

Especially just now, I almost couldn't come back.

Shi Lin smiled: "Don't worry, since you get out safely, nothing will happen. It's just that you need to be careful when you go out. The folk customs in some places are different. Learn more, and you can avoid accidents."

"I was negligent." Shi Jinzhi admitted his mistake.

Shi Lin had a good impression of this nephew, so he didn't dwell on this topic too much.

When Xi Xin's parents came back, they brought a lot of things. Seeing that only Xi Xin and Yuanyuan were left at home, they didn't ask any more questions, knowing that the young master of the Shi family must have gone back.

Seeing Xi Xin playing with the kitten, they smiled and said, "Xin'er, guess what mother brought you back?"

Xi's mother smiled mysteriously, but the left and right were only things Xi Xin was familiar with, and thinking of what she said, Xi Xin had already guessed it.

However, Xi Xin pretended to think for a while before saying, "It's sugar, right?"

He ran to his mother, raised his head and smiled sweetly at her, "Mother, am I right?"

"Exactly." Mother Xi pinched his face, and took out the contents of the basket one by one, including Xi Xin's favorite sugar bowl.

"I came back from pilgrimage with your father. I happened to see it when I was passing by the market, so I bought it."

She arranged the things, put them in the cabinet, turned her head to Xi Xin and said, "Today the Zhao family throws colored balls to invite relatives, it's very lively."

Xi Xin struggled to open the sugar jar, the kitten was watching, and was about to stretch out its paws to help, but Xi Xin grabbed it and said helplessly, "I'll hurt you later."

Yuanyuan yelled, she didn't seem to understand very well, Shi Chen usually helps in this way, why can't she do it when it's her turn?

It jumped to the ground dejectedly, lay lazily on its stomach, and was coaxed by a small fish from Xi Xin.

He threw a piece of candy into his mouth, and asked curiously, "Is that the very gentle sister of the Zhao family?"

Xi Mu paused for a moment, then stared at Xi Xin for a few moments, and joked, "You know who is gentle or not?"

Xi Xin blushed, and muttered: "Isn't this what you used to praise that sister Zhao?"

Mother Xi hugged the child in her arms with a smile, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, our Xi Xin is also an adult. In two years, we should get engaged."

Seeing her mother getting more and more outrageous, Xi Xin called out helplessly: "Mother."

He raised his head to look at her in his arms, and his angry appearance made Xi's mother even more unable to help teasing him.

Father Xi was listening, but he smiled cheerfully.

"Speaking of which, more and more foreigners came to the recent temple fair, just now." Xi Xin's mother gently combed his hair with a comb, and brought up the topic just now.

"What happened just now?" Xi Xin was puzzled.

Mother Xi seemed to be thinking of something, her words stopped abruptly, and she coughed, "It's nothing, it's just that there is something wrong with the object of the colored ball."

It was supposed to be a festive event, but because of smashing the wrong object, it is now in a hurry.But in the end it's someone else's family business, so it's not good to judge it.

"Okay, it's done." She let go of the child and smiled.

Xi Xin stood up, walked around casually, and said happily, "Mother's hair looks the best."

"What's more, what did you do early this morning? I saw traces of firewood in the kitchen. Didn't you tell me to go out to eat, kid? What should you do if you hurt your hand?" Xi Xin's mother endured Can't stop nagging.

Xi Xin thought for a while, and seemed to be struggling with how to tell her parents that Shi Chen made the breakfast.

But when he thought about it, this incident might scare his parents more than cooking by himself, so he skipped mentioning it, and quickly nestled in his mother's arms and acted like a baby, trying to get away with it.

"Meow." Yuanyuan also jumped into Xi Xin's arms.

One person and one cat all pretended to be pitiful, which amused Xi Mu.

Then I won't mention the matter just now.
