Sugar Jar [Rebirth]

Liu Ruohan saw that Xi Xin's expression was a little strange, as if she had thought of something, her eyes fell on the book of poems in Xi Xin's hand again, and she asked, "What's wrong?"

Xi Xin put the collection of poems back into Liu Ruohan's hand, and said softly, "Since it belongs to the eldest son, please return this to him." He didn't mention what happened just now.

It's just that Liu Ruohan still had doubts in his heart, he nodded, put the things at hand aside, and continued to organize the books on the bookcase.

The books in Hou's Mansion Collection Pavilion include almost all books, and all kinds of books can be found here.

Mrs. Shi was born in a scholarly family, and there were many precious books in her dowry. The rare and orphaned books were all kept properly, and almost all the rest were put here.

Xi Xin seemed to be preoccupied, Liu Ruohan saw him so distracted that he almost bumped into the cabinet.

When Xi Xin was about to collide with the wood, he quickly reached out to block it and said, "Be careful!"

After recovering, Xi Xin stopped in time so that she didn't collide with the bookcase.

Xi Xin's eyes were ignorant, and his expression was a little dazed. He first thanked Liu Ruohan, and then apologized.

"Would you like to go back and have a rest? I think you seem very tired." Liu Ruohan suggested.

Xi Xin nodded sullenly, and said to Liu Ruohan, "Then I'll go back first."

When Xi Xin went back, she saw the big vase in the room at a glance. The presence of this thing was too strong to be ignored, and she didn't know what the Second Young Master wanted to order it for.

He was puzzled, then walked to the table and sat down, continuing to copy the scriptures.

But while writing, Xi Xin seemed to think of something, picked up the copybook next to her, and walked out again.

"Can you help me deliver this to the eldest son's yard and return the copybook to him?" Xi Xin handed the two copybooks to a young servant and asked politely.

The servant took it, and said briskly, "It's on me."

After staying in the courtyard for a long time, they can also see that the second young master attaches great importance to this book boy, but Xi Xin has almost everything. Even if they want to make friends with him, they can't find a suitable reason. When I ran into him, I said some polite words, and now I can finally help Xi Xin, so he is naturally very happy.

Xi Xin smiled: "Thanks for your hard work."

"Go ahead and copy the scriptures, I won't bother you anymore." The boy took his things and quickly walked to Shi Lin's courtyard.

The smile on Xi Xin's face faded a little, he slightly raised his head to look at the sky, and couldn't help sighing secretly.

Always feel a little weird.

When Shi Chen was punished to face the wall and think about his past in the ancestral hall, he lived a comfortable life.At most, there is no way to go out inside. At night, there is only one light in the ancestral hall, which makes it look a little dim.

But Xi Xin would still come to visit him occasionally, and sometimes she would bring a book and read the poems in it to Shi Chen.

During the vacation years ago, the master had assigned several tasks to them, one of which was to memorize ten ancient poems in the Book of Songs.

Xi Xin took the book to read, on the one hand, it can enhance her memory, and on the other hand, it can also make the second young master have a better impression of it.

When Mrs. Shi came over with her servants and was about to open the door and let Shi Chen go back, the people in the room hadn't reacted yet.

He made an appointment with Xi Xin to meet at noon today, and he will come over after lunch. Shi Chen has almost memorized the Book of Songs, and he plans to recite it to Xi Xin himself so that he can praise himself Woolen cloth.

"Why, are you addicted to living here?" Mrs. Shi raised her eyebrows slightly and asked him kindly.

Shi Chen got up quickly, "Mother, you are here."

He winked at Mrs. Shi with a playful smile, and looked at her flatteringly.

Seeing his appearance, Mrs. Shi felt that she couldn't bear to look directly at him, she turned her face away instantly, and said with a smile: "Don't look at me in such a stupid way, I will get angry when I see you."

Shi Chen was stunned for a moment.

Now, mother hasn't calmed down yet?

He took a step back, and already had the consciousness to live here for a long time.

Mrs. Shi cast a glance over, "What are you still doing in a daze, do you have to ask me to invite you back?"

Shi Chen bowed, "Thank you, mother!"

With that said, he ran out quickly.

Mrs. Shi looked at the empty ancestral hall, and her eyes fell on the ancestral tablets. They were well taken care of. In the past few days, it seemed that someone had specially wiped the tablets. They were spotless without any trace of dust.

Mrs. Shi rarely showed a hint of relief in her eyes.

She turned her head to look at Shi Chen's distant figure, lowered her head and smiled.

"This child."

When Shi Chen ran back, Xi Xin was holding his things and preparing to go out.

At the moment outside the courtyard, the two of them bumped into each other. Seeing that Shi Chen's restraint was released, Xi Xin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're out."

Originally, Shi Chen had to stay there for a few more days, but one day later was the Buddha's Nirvana Day. Mrs. Shi probably felt that it was not good to keep him locked up during the holiday, so she released Shi Chen in advance.

Shi Chen led him into the house, "That's right, I can finally come out."

He sighed with emotion, and after entering the room, he soon saw the vase placed there.

Shi Chen let out a "huh" at first, and then his gaze suddenly became a little weird. He glanced back, waiting for the servants with unfriendly eyes.

Everyone was a little scared by his gaze, but they didn't know what they did wrong.

The Second Young Master seemed to be angry only after seeing that big vase?But it was made to order by him, and they also followed orders, so why did they make a mistake again.

Xi Xin noticed his gaze and raised her eyes to look over.

He seemed to want to understand something, smiled, and asked, "Master, what is this for?"

Xi Xin's gaze was very curious, and she sincerely raised her doubts.

Shi Chen's body froze, and he muttered softly: "Sugar."

"Huh?" Xi Xin suspected that she didn't hear clearly.

sugar?

Shi Chen simply drove those people out before explaining to Xi Xin: "That's right, Tang..."

He looked at the vase dejectedly, "Look at its size, it must be able to hold a lot of sugar."

Originally, Shi Chen was thinking that when the thing was cooked, he would fill it with candy and then give it to Xi Xin.

Such a big thing can certainly hold a lot of candies.

Who knew that he was grounded before he had made a plan, and his servant even sent the unfinished gift to Xi Xin.

Xi Xin was silent for a while, and looked over there silently.

He raised his confusion in a low voice, "But, it's so high, what should I do if I want to get something at that time."

Reach out, the hand is not long enough.

Shi Chen was also silent.

"That, that..." He seemed a little discouraged, and he didn't say a word after talking for a long time.

"Let's put it here for the time being. In fact, it's pretty good after looking at it for a long time." Xi Xin said with a smile.

Shi Chen looked at it unwillingly, trying to struggle, "How about I let them do something else."

Things like big boxes, big boxes, etc.

Xi Xin took the backpack over, opened it, took out a can of sugar from inside, and stuffed one of them into Shi Chen's hand, "Eat it."

Shi Chen took it, subconsciously took apart the candy, and put it in his mouth.

Then, I forgot what I was going to do next.

Xi Xin bent his eyes and smiled mischievously. He also took out a piece of candy, slowly put it to his mouth, and tasted it carefully. Some of the candy was accidentally stained on the side of his mouth.

Shi Chen took a handkerchief from the shelf on the left, wiped it skillfully for him, and then put the handkerchief aside.

Xi Xin glanced at him, then subconsciously reached out to touch the corner of her mouth, "Is this place dirty?"

"It's already clean." Shi Chen replied.

Xi Xin didn't speak anymore, he walked over, spread out all the things he had copied, and faced the windy place outside the window.

"Are all these scriptures?" Shi Chen glanced at them and asked.

Xi Xin nodded: "I've been copying this for the past few days, and I just finished copying it today."

Shi Chen counted them casually, and found that there were at least a few hundred sheets here, and almost every sheet was filled with densely packed words.

This must make my hands sore... He thought distressedly.

"If I came out earlier, maybe I could write something for you." Shi Chen said in a low voice.

Xi Xin shook her head: "It's okay, this is not tiring at all, and it can make people calm down."

He opened them one by one, and put the dried paper on the other side.

Seeing this, Shi Chen also came over to help.

"On February [-]th, my mother will go to the temple with my father to pay homage and pay off my vows. We will go out after that time and take the opportunity to slip away." Then he told Xi Xin about his plan.

"Aren't we going?" Xi Xin tilted her head and asked him.

"They're all old monks, there's nothing to see." Shi Chen muttered.

Xi Xin heard it, and he said to Shi Chen seriously: "You can't be disrespectful to the master."

Shi Chen quickly raised his fingers, and said equally solemnly: "Xi Xin is right!"

Having said that, he still tried to persuade Xi Xin, "Let's go to burn incense first. After burning incense, my parents will definitely chat with the host master and the others for a long time. There is nothing left and right, so it's better to go outside and have a look."

Speaking of which, he can count on his fingers the time he spent hanging out with Xi Xin.

Xi Xin nodded her head lightly, in agreement.
