Sugar Jar [Rebirth]

Xi Xin felt that Shi Chen was inexplicably excited, and seemed to be much happier than before. If his emotions are usually only shown on his face, then his every move today is almost telling them that he is in a very happy mood now. good.

As soon as Xi Xin and Yuanyuan came back, Shi Chen followed closely behind.

Seeing that Xi Xin seemed to be thirsty and wanted to pour water to drink, he hurriedly grabbed the work and filled the glass for him.

Xi Xin gave him a strange look, then took the teacup and took a small sip.

Yuanyuan came over, as if she also wanted to join in the fun.

Shi Chen grabbed it, put it on the ground, and filled a small bowl of warm water for it.

"Hold on," he threatened.

The kitten looked at him dissatisfied, then fell under Shi Chen's eyes, and lowered his head silently knowingly.

Xi Xin took a small sip of the water in the glass, then moved the glass away, and asked Shi Chen: "Master, you seem very happy today?"

Shi Chen was stunned, he touched his face subconsciously, and asked Xi Xin with a smile: "Really? Is it so obvious?"

Xi Xin nodded her head, rested her chin with her hands, and slightly bent her eyes to look at him: "Obviously, the tail is going to be raised."

Being teased by Xi Xin, Shi Chen rubbed his hair, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "Where is the tail growing? Is it Xi Xin you? Let me see."

As he said that, he walked up to Xi Xin and walked around him a few times in a pretentious manner.

Xi Xin laughed softly, he tilted his head, avoided it a little, and stopped him: "Don't turn around, it makes me dizzy."

"I'm looking for a tail?" Shi Chen looked innocent, "How can I find it without going around a few more times?"

Xi Xin glanced at him, Shi Chen straightened his expression immediately, and his expression became serious.

"Talking nonsense again." He whispered, took the cup, and continued to drink water in a gentle manner, until he drank all the warm water in the cup, and then put the things aside.

Shi Chen is indeed in a good mood today, especially after returning from his father's place, he is obviously much more relaxed.

Although his father has a violent temper, he is also very tolerant of things around the children and never forces them. It is precisely because of this that Shi Chen reminded him so blatantly.

He guessed that his father must be very angry at the beginning, but he will calm down slowly, and he is probably thinking about how to deal with this matter at the moment.Maybe someone has sent a letter to my mother.

Shi Chen was also so straightforward because he was fully sure that they would never get angry because of this matter.

Shi Chen had already had someone investigate the comments that the mysterious hosting master gave to the two brothers.

In addition to that catastrophe, there was another comment, which was blocked by the master of the Hou Mansion so that no one would let it out.

"Hiss." While Shi Chen was in a daze, Yuanyuan walked up to him, and slapped his paws on his legs, scratching his clothes and almost hurting him at the same time.

Shi Chen suddenly came back to his senses, and grabbed the kitten.

"You bastard..." he snapped.

"Yuanyuan!" Xi Xin exclaimed in surprise, "How can you scratch someone?"

Shi Chen was puzzled for a moment, and also felt a little strange. Although this little guy is usually disobedient, he won't hurt people easily.

He thought about it, looked at his leg, and found a small bug in the broken fabric.

Shi Chen picked up the piece of fabric and put it in front of the kitten.

Sure enough, it stretched out its claws again and scratched it fiercely.

Simply slapped the bug to death.

Shi Chen: "..."

Xi Xin looked at him, "Is this what Yuanyuan really wants to catch?"

After killing the bug, it really became much quieter, and its whole body nestled on the ground, lying lazily.

"Maybe." Shi Chen was also a little uncertain.

Xi Xin thought for a while, and then said: "Give the bug to the doctor in the mansion to see if it is something strange."

If it was an ordinary bug, Yuanyuan's reaction would not be so strong.

Shi Chen nodded, and then sent someone to take away the things on the ground.

When the servant came in, he saw a piece of fabric on Shi Chen's left foot that was obviously torn, and was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any further questions, picked up the things and retreated.

Shi Chen ran behind the screen to change his clothes. Although he really wanted to change in front of Xi Xin, he was afraid that Xi Xin would think he was a rascal, so he still had to do some superficial work.

Xi Xin looked down at the kitten and smiled helplessly.

He stretched out his hand and picked up the round little claws, the nails on it had indeed become very sharp.

Xi Xin smiled softly at Yuanyuan, her smile was soft, but her tone was very serious.

"Yuanyuan, it's time to trim your nails."

The kitten raised its eyes in confusion, its blue eyes met Xi Xin's amber eyes.

The eyes of each person and cat are so clear and clean.

"Meow?" it called out puzzled.

"I don't accept rebuttals." I don't know if Xi Xin understood what it said, but he shook his head resolutely.

When Shi Chen came out from behind the screen, he had already changed into black clothes, although Xi Xin didn't see any difference between his suit and the previous one.

The clothes that the second young master is wearing seem to be of the same style and dark color.

"What are you talking about?" He seems to have heard Xi Xin say about cutting nails from behind.

Xi Xin raised the kitten's paw, revealing the sharp nails, "Cut the nails."

Xi Xin looked very serious.

"Well, I'll order them to cut Yuanyuan later." Shi Chen was reluctant to let Xi Xin do it.

The maid who took care of Yuanyuan was indeed much more skilled than herself, Xi Xin nodded in approval, then put Yuanyuan down and let it go.

"Xi Xin, come here." He beckoned to Xi Xin.

Xi Xin looked at him suspiciously, "What?"

Seeing that Xi Xin refused to come over, Shi Chen had no choice but to go over by himself.

"I'll cut your nails for you." As he spoke, he took Xi Xin's hand, looked at it, and murmured, "It's too long, and it will hurt your hand later."

Xi Xin's hands are slender and fair, but because they are too thin, the blood vessels on the skin are clearly visible, and the veins inside can be vaguely seen.

To say it is fair, it is better to say that the complexion is pale.

Every time Shi Chen saw it, he would recite it.

Xi Xin couldn't help retorting: "I have someone who obediently drinks goat's milk."

Shi Chen smiled: "Well, I know."

He brought over a pair of small scissors, and carefully trimmed Xi Xin's fingernails, carefully, with very slight movements, for fear of accidentally hurting him.

Xi Xin blinked and looked curiously, but he remembered Shi Chen's words just now, so he didn't move around, obediently asked the second young master to trim his nails for him.

The originally slightly long nails became round and smooth after being trimmed. The round fingernails looked cute and cute, making the hands more delicate and delicate.

"Okay." Shi Chen let go of his hand, and put the scissors aside.

Xi Xin opened her hands, put both hands in front of Shi Chen, tilted her head and smiled at him.

He spread his hands, turned them back and forth, and said with emotion: "The second young master is really skillful."

Shi Chen accepted the compliment unceremoniously: "Of course, otherwise how can I take care of you."

"Did you bring the book over here just now?" When Shi Chen came back, Xi Xin happened to see him put the book on the table, but he didn't see the words clearly.

Shi Chen nodded: "Yes, I just went to my father's place, and the old man gave it to me."

Seeing that Xi Xin listened to it, he went to do other things and didn't ask what book he was taking. Shi Chen couldn't bear it anymore and asked him, "Aren't you curious about what I took?"

Xi Xin was puzzled: "Didn't you just say, book?"

Shi Chen was stunned, he rubbed the center of his brows, and smiled helplessly: "I really don't know what to do with you."

He spread out the book so that Xi Xin could see the contents inside.

Shi Chen pointed to a poem above and said to Xi Xin, "Look at this."

Xi Xin clearly saw where his finger was pointing to, and there was written - "Song of the Yue People".

"Although the implication in it doesn't quite fit the situation, I think there are two poems written very well." Shi Chen looked at him and smiled.

Afterwards, he slowly read the two lines of the poem.

——"There are trees in the mountains, and the trees have branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king, but the king does not know."

Shi Chen looked at Xi Xin seriously, and asked, "What do you think of these two sentences as a love letter?"

Xi Xin had also read the story about "The Song of the Yue People" before, so when Shi Chen read the poem, he understood what he wanted to express.

He pondered for a moment, then walked to the desk and wrote two words on the rice paper.

Shi Chen looked over, and after seeing what was written on it, he couldn't help being happy.

Xi Xin only wrote two words: read.

He looked at Xi Xin helplessly, reached out and rubbed his head vigorously.

Xi Xin looked at him, and smiled secretly, like a kitten stealing fish. When she raised her eyebrows, there was a hint of softness between them.

Shi Chen opened his arms towards him and asked, "Don't you think about praising me?"

Xi Xin looked at Shi Chen, then reached out and hugged him gently.

He rested his head on Shi Chen's shoulder, and said something softly.

"know."

Shi Chen didn't understand at first, but after realizing the meaning of Xi Xin's sudden answer, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

He kissed Xi Xin's hair.

——Your heart pleases you, you don’t know.

--Know.

How could his Xi Xin be so good?

Shi Chen stroked his hair gently, and then couldn't help laughing again.

In the evening, Mrs. Shi finally came back.

Hearing the news of his wife's return to the mansion, Hou Jingke waited impatiently outside the mansion. When he saw the carriage, he took the lead in helping his wife down.

"Ma'am..." he called.

Mrs. Shi's eyes were gentle, she glanced sideways at her husband, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Seeing her calm appearance, Lord Shi Hou couldn't help being stunned.

Madame looks so calm, did she not see the letter he sent?

When the two finally returned to the main courtyard, before Lord Hou could speak, Mrs. Shi sent the servants away first, including her confidantes, they were all called away one by one.

Mrs. Shi slowly sat on the main seat, and said slowly: "Tell me, what are your plans."

She poured herself a glass of water.

Hou Ye was a little anxious: "Ma'am, when is this, are you still drinking water..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was made guilty by his wife's cold eyes, and immediately stopped talking.

Mrs. Shi glanced at him casually, and Master Hou hurriedly said: "Drink, drink, if it's not enough, I'll ask them to bring some warm water."

Mrs. Shi took a sip slowly, and her movements were unhurried, looking extremely elegant.

It's just that Jing Kehou has no intention of admiring his wife's demeanor at this time, and his mind keeps echoing what his youngest son said just now, "Writing to Xi Xin".

Write, write, write, forget it if you write, can't I not tell you Lao Tzu!

Who wants to know exactly who you're writing a love letter to!

At this moment, Lord Shi Hou, who had become angry from embarrassment, had already forgotten who asked the question first.

"Calm down?" Madam Shi leisurely put down the cup and looked at him indifferently.

Jing Kehou was startled: "Madam..."

Mrs. Shi sighed, "I thought that after waiting for so long, you should wake up. What, what do you want to do? Break them up? Or beat Chen'er to death?"

Jing Kehou replied subconsciously: "Of course not!"

Mrs. Shi raised her eyebrows and asked back: "Oh? Then tell me, what do you want to do when you call me back?"

Master Shi was silent.

Mrs. Shi tapped his forehead lightly, and taught: "Since you don't know what to do, who are you showing this face to?"

"I……"

Before Master Shi finished speaking, his wife glanced at him, "What are you? What you say doesn't count."

Seeing that her husband seemed to be in deep thought, Mrs. Shi softened her face and asked softly, "Do you still remember the remarks that the abbot gave to the two children?"

Alone, helpless, lonely forever.

When she heard this passage, she felt as if she had been sentenced to death, and she was worried and worried every day.

The ethics of the world are nothing in front of Mrs. Shi.

She only hopes that the two children can live in peace and live a smooth life.

As for those who accompany them, whether it is a man or a woman, what does it matter?

Fame and wealth are but passing clouds, and only those who are by your side are real and dependable.

Lord Shihou was still silent, and then he suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "Did you already know?"

No wonder when he came back from Jialan Temple, he asked his wife, she had such an attitude.

Mrs. Shi sneered: "Do you think that I am your elm head?"

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier..." Jing Kehou complained in a low voice, if he had known about it earlier, he wouldn't have been startled by Shi Chen as he is today.

Mrs. Shi smiled and asked him softly: "Husband, are you blaming me?"

Master Shi quickly corrected his attitude: "No, no, no! How dare I."

Mrs. Shi looked at him angrily: "I tell you, restrain yourself, if you let me know that you dare to show Xi Xin's face, I will take your skin off."

"Don't dare!" He promised, and at the same time, he was muttering silently in his heart, why did he deal with Xi Xin, he wanted to teach him a lesson, and he also taught Shi Chen a lesson.

How dare you scare your father and me, this unfilial son!
