Sugar Jar [Rebirth]

When Xi Xin opened her eyes in a daze, she seemed to hear some commotion outside.

He rubbed his eyes lightly, slowly waiting for his consciousness to return.

Then a small white figure ran in from outside, and jumped onto Xi Xin's bed with a "chuckle".

He happily took the kitten and said with a smile: "Seeing how energetic you are, you must have slept well last night?"

Yuanyuan leaned into his arms, and simply buried her whole body in Xi Xin's arms, refusing to come out, and only responded softly.

Xi Xin stroked its fur, lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "You can't play tricks like this, I haven't washed it yet."

When the kitten heard this, it raised its head, staring at Xi Xin with its blue eyes.

One person and one cat looked at each other, Yuanyuan quickly looked away, then let go of her paw, and quietly waited aside.

When Xi Xin got out of bed, Yuanyuan yelled sharply, as if reminding him to wear shoes.

When following Shi Chen before, it has seen such scenes many times, and knows when to make a sound.

Xi Xin was surprised by its spirituality, couldn't help but leaned over and kissed its little face in front of the bed.

"Yuanyuan is so smart." He said with a smile.

After putting on the shoes, Xi Xin ran to the front and washed her face with water.

Everything in the Hou Mansion was arranged in an orderly manner, even when the warm and hot water would be brought up, there would be a set time.If the water temperature becomes cold before then, someone will come over to quickly replace the water in the basin and prepare new hot water.

After Xi Xin finished washing, the movement outside still didn't stop, he was a little curious.

Xi Xin looked back at the kitten and asked, "Is there a visitor from the Hou's residence?"

It seems that the people in the house seem to be busy.

Yuanyuan replied in a low voice again, not sure if she was responding to Xi Xin's question, or expressing her own confusion.

As soon as Xi Xin walked out, she saw Manager Zhao, who was in charge of Shi Chen's courtyard affairs, coming over, and told the others: "Go and clean up the weeds, so that the guests can see what it looks like."

After Guanshi Zhao finished his orders, he happened to notice Xi Xin in the left courtyard. He had always treated the book boy next to the second young master with courtesy. What expression did he have? Seeing this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Xi Xin, are you going to the Second Young Master's place?"

In fact, this sentence can be regarded as knowing the truth. Apart from staying in the left courtyard to study, Xi Xin spends almost all the rest of the time with Shi Chen.

But since he couldn't find any other words to strike up a conversation with, he could only do so.

Xi Xin nodded. He glanced at the busy people and said empathetically, "Go and do your work. I won't bother you."

Yuanyuan followed and quickly caught up with Xi Xin.

Xi Xin was just about to leave, but heard Manager Zhao whispering as he passed by him: "Among the guests who came, Young Master Biao is spoiled, if you meet him, Xi Xin, stay away."

Xi Xin was stunned for a moment, and before he could recall the meaning of what Manager Zhao said, he had already gone elsewhere and continued to instruct other people to work.

Listening to the bustling voices in the mansion, Xi Xin frowned slightly.

Zhao Guanshi suddenly mentioned this matter to him, it must not be a whim.

Seemingly noticing Xi Xin's sluggish pace, Yuanyuan also stopped running forward. She turned her head and called out in confusion, "Meow?"

The tone is full of doubts.

Xi Xin quickly regained consciousness, bent down and hugged it, pressed her face lightly against it, and said in a low voice, "I was distracted just now, sorry."

The kitten came up to him and kissed him on the cheek.

Xi Xin smiled and rolled her eyes.

When he walked into Shi Chen's room, he found that the second young master had a strange expression on his face, as if he was distracted, thinking about something.

If someone came into the house normally, he would be the first to find out, but now that Xi Xin is almost walking up to him, Shi Chen didn't even notice.

Xi Xin glanced at him and decided not to disturb, so she sat down beside him and signaled Yuanyuan to be quieter.

Shi Chen's expression was complicated, and when he came back to his senses, he happened to see the young man next to him, and said in surprise, "Xi Xin, when did you come?"

Xi Xin was silent for a while, then lowered her head and smiled, as if a little helpless, she explained in a soft voice: "I haven't been here for long."

Shi Chen glanced at the waiter next to him, his eyes were obviously questioning, why didn't he tell Xi Xin when he came.

The boy who was stared at for no reason felt a little aggrieved. The second son had such a serious expression when he was thinking about the question, how could he dare to disturb him.

"Let's set the meal." He said to the servants, and the waiters at the side heard this and hurried down to order.

It was still noisy outside.

Seeing Xi Xin's gaze seemed to look outside from time to time, Shi Chen scooped up a small bowl of sesame porridge for him and put it in front of him, and explained casually: "It's just that they are playing a little crazy in the mansion, don't worry about it."

Listening to Shi Chen's tone, it seemed that they didn't take them to heart.

Xi Xin nodded lightly, and didn't continue to worry about the matter just now, but just quietly ate the meal in the bowl.

And at this moment, someone came in from outside the house, it was Shi Chen's confidant, the servant who had been working with him.

When he saw Xi Xin there, he wasn't surprised, but he was silent and didn't speak.

Shi Chen glanced at him, "Why are you standing there, talk."

The little servant took a deep breath, and couldn't help but glance at Xi Xin. At this moment, a look of shock flashed across his eyes. Seeing the young master's eyes getting more and more impatient, he quickly calmed down and replied: "You guessed it right, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Lin and her children came here this time for the purpose of Mr. Zhou's official position."

Mrs. Zhou's Lin family is Mrs. Shi's cousin, a direct descendant of the Lin family in Luoshui.

Some time ago, her husband was faced with the matter of being relocated, and the husband and wife were rushing around because of this matter. They were afraid that Mr. Zhou would be transferred to a remote place. If he went there, his official career would be ruined, not to mention A strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, so how can the people there be easy to provoke.

Mrs. Zhou thought about it, Jingkehou knew people from the Ministry of Officials, if he could get a word from him and be assigned to Chang'an and Guangling, life would be more comfortable.

After Shi Chen heard this, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and the curvature of his mouth looked a little ironic.

At this time, Xi Xin had finished his breakfast and put the bowls and chopsticks aside. After hearing the conversation between the two, he felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't ask any more questions.

After Shi Chen's expression recovered, he still had time to ask him: "Have you drank the goat's milk?"

Xi Xin nodded and pointed to the small empty bowl above, the meaning was very clear.

Shi Chen couldn't help laughing, and then waved his hand to his confidant at the side, signaling him to back down.

When the boy saw him, he immediately understood what he meant and left.

"Let's go practice calligraphy."

Suddenly hearing this sentence from Shi Chen's mouth, Xi Xin was a little surprised, and then the surprise in his eyes was gradually replaced by joy, and he nodded happily.

Shi Chen led him to the study.

Seeing the neatly arranged rice paper on the table, Xi Xin became a little silent for a moment.

He stared at the writing on it with a serious face, and then glanced at Shi Chen again.

Shi Chen moved the paper to the side and coughed: "What's wrong?"

Xi Xin sighed and shook her head lightly: "It's nothing..."

He paused, and then added: "Your handwriting...has actually improved."

Xi Xin patted his shoulder reassuringly.

Shi Chen was also silent.

Although, it was praised by Xi Xin.

But why does he always feel like something is wrong?
