happy rebirth

Hot water was prepared early in Weizheng Pavilion, so Xie Jinhua could take a quick bath as soon as he got home.Because of an accident that almost happened in the examination room, Ke Qi specially asked someone to prepare grapefruit leaves.As a time traveler, Ke Qi, a socialist successor who was born in New China and grew up under the red flag, resolutely carried the banner of feudal superstition, and wanted to use grapefruit leaves to get rid of Xie Jinhua's bad luck. pray.

When other people are unlucky, they always use grapefruit leaves dipped in water to sprinkle two drops on their bodies.But Ke Qi poured dozens of grapefruit leaves into the tub with a solemn expression.As soon as the heat is smoked, there is a faint aroma in the air, sweet and sour, revealing a green taste unique to first love.

Ah no, it is the green and astringent taste that belongs to plants alone.

Seeing so many leaves floating on the water, Xie Jinhua only thought that he wanted to take a special flower petal bath.He lowered his head and was about to unbutton his clothes, when he saw Ke Qi standing aside and staring at him intently, he suddenly felt embarrassed.Obviously they are getting closer day by day, but those days when they frankly took off their clothes in front of Ke Qi are gone forever.Xie Jinhua's hand rested on the button, and he still couldn't untie it after struggling for a long time.

"Shall I take it off for you?" Ke Qi asked.There is really no other meaning in these words, it is very pure.

Xie Jinhua blushed and shook her head, and said, "I'll come by myself... by the way, you don't have to wait for me here. I don't want to take a bath today."

Xie Jinhua pursed his lips, and said: "I'm a little sleepy, I want to finish washing early, so I can go to bed early and lie down."

Ke Qi believed Xie Jinhua's words, thinking that he didn't sleep well during the exam and must be tired now.Xie Jinhua pushed Ke Qi to the cubicle, and encouraged Ke Qi to say, "Anyway, there is a lot of hot water, so you should take a shower too. Both of us should move faster, and we can sleep together later."

It is said to be a compartment, but it is actually still in the same room, but there is a screen in the middle of the room as a partition.That is to say, when Xie Jinhua was sitting in a bathtub full of grapefruit leaves and wiping his body with a cloth towel, he could clearly hear the sound of water from Ke Qi taking a bath.

Ke Qi likes to take a shower.There was a splash, that was when he splashed hot water on his body with a ladle; a few rustles, that was when he wiped his arms and back with a cloth towel; tick, that was water droplets falling down his body. On the ground... Xie Jinhua's attention was focused on his ears.

After a while, Xie Jinhua suddenly realized what he had done!

Maybe it's because the bath water is a little hot today?Xie Jinhua's face was reddened by the heat.He swallowed unconsciously, but it was just a drop in the bucket.For a moment, Xie Jinhua wished he could bury himself in the bathtub, and drink his fill.

"I've finished washing. Do you really need my help?" Ke Qi said.

"I, I'm fine too!" Xie Jinhua said quickly.

Xie Jinhua finished it in twos and twos, and quickly dried his body.Not long after, the couple were both lying on the bed.Ke Qi quickly fell asleep.You must know that he has been worried these days and hardly slept much.But Xie Jinhua, who said he was very tired, opened his eyes after Ke Qi fell asleep.

In fact, Xie Jinhua didn't feel sleepy, his body was not tired, and his spirit could even be said to be hyperactive.And the reason he always wanted to sleep was simply because he felt that Ke Qi needed a sleep.In the past three days, he was unconscious in the examination room, but Ke Qi was always worried about him.

From the beginning to the end, Xie Jinhua just wanted Ke Qi to have a good sleep.

It was quiet inside and out.There was no one in the Weizhen Pavilion.Xie Jinhua turned his body cautiously so that he faced Ke Qi.

Ke Qi's eyes were gray.

"Okay, okay, I know you care about me. Needless to say, I know it too." Xie Jinhua whispered.At this time, he was a little complacent that didn't fit his personality, and he was also a little bit unwilling to be reconciled.Even if I don't say it, I know it, but it would be better if I could say it.

Soon, the feeling of complacency prevailed, squeezing away all the unwillingness that seemed to be absent.

Xie Jinhua just watched Ke Qi's sleeping face quietly, until he saw that he was really sleepy.

Rongxing Hall.

Xie Chunying summoned one of her confidants to ask, "Is there any suspicious person approaching Xiaosi?"

There must be someone arranged by Xie Chunying beside Xie Jinhua.Regarding this point, both Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi knew it well.But the couple accepted it well, because they knew that it was not from the elder brother's surveillance, but from the elder brother's protection.Wouldn't it be better to have a big brother to take care of him?

And Xie Chunying did give the couple a lot of freedom. He doesn't care what the children are busy with, but only cares whether the children will be in danger.

Xie Jinhua's life is very simple and very regular.Gong Yi didn't think that Fourth Master would come into contact with any suspicious people.But since Xie Chunying asked this question, Gong Yi still thought about it carefully before replying cautiously: "The only place where Si Ye can get in touch with more outsiders is the academy. But the background of the academy people is well documented." Cha, even the handymen, most of them come from commoner families who have lived at the foot of the mountain for several generations."

This is a good statement, so there would not be any suspicious elements around Xie Jinhua.So, where did he hear the gossip about the eighth prince and the lady named Wen?What made Xie Chunying suspicious the most was that only Xie Jinhua heard this, but Ke Qi, who followed Xie Jinhua inseparably, didn't hear it?Brother Xie thought that someone was taking advantage of Xie Jinhua, and those people probably thought that Ke Qi was not good enough to deceive?

Xie Chunying frowned and said, "Keep an eye on it."

"Yes." Gong Yi took the order.Since the master said so, the people around fourth master need to check carefully again.

The county examination generally requires four to five exams, and this year four are scheduled.After the results of the first round come out, the students who pass the grades can participate in the second round.After passing the second round, you can participate in the third round.After all four exams are finished, the chief examiners will announce the list of those who passed the county exam according to the results.

After such a toss, the entire county test will not be completely over until March.

Because he had to wait for the results to be announced, Xie Jinhua simply cut off all communication with the excuse of studying behind closed doors.There are only five days of free time before the next exam. He just wants to stay at home and accompany Ke Qi to study and practice calligraphy.The family also had a tacit understanding not to come to Weizheng Pavilion to disturb the two of them.

Even if Xie San wanted to find Xie Jinhua for something, he deliberately chose it during the meal.This is his rare thoughtfulness.

"Third brother, let's eat together?" Xie Jinhua greeted.

Xie San was not polite and said, "Okay, give me a bowl of soup."

Ke Qi picked up the spoon and was about to show his kindness to the landlord, but Xie Jinhua said with a smile: "Brother Ke, you don't know if third brother likes to drink thicker or thinner, why are you so active? Third brother isn't Outsider, let him do it himself." When he said this, he looked at Xie San.

It was only then that Xie San noticed that the fourth brother and his wife did not have anyone serve at the table.He quickly took the spoon from Ke Qi's hand, and said, "Yes, I'll do it myself." The fourth brother is so scary!That's what he does if he values ​​his husband and despises his brother!In front of Xie Jinhua, Xie San didn't dare to order Ke Qi anymore.

It is true that Xie San came back to find the couple.He has a casual acquaintance who is not too close but gets along well. His name is Feng Liang.Feng Liang suddenly asked Xie San to go out for a drink, and Xie San went to the appointment, and then got a message from Feng Liang.

"Feng Liang's cousin and the fourth brother are in the same examination room. Didn't Feng Liang's cousin break through a conspiracy this time? I originally wanted to use Feng Liang to express my gratitude to the Zhen Guo General's Mansion implicitly, but I didn't expect Feng Liang thanked me in turn..." The expression on Xie San's face was extremely complicated.

According to Yu Zhi's logic, if he hadn't been so greedy for mutton soup, he wouldn't have drunk so much water.And if he hadn't drank so much water, he wouldn't have gone to the bathroom half an hour after the exam started.It is said that the arsonist originally planned to set the fire about an hour after the start of the exam.

This is really thrilling!

"Fourth brother, you are really... the villain's all kinds of schemes ended in your pot of mutton soup! Tell me, what kind of luck is this!" Xie Sanzhi, who knew the truth, felt that everything was incredible.But Feng Liang would never lie about this kind of thing, he is a very principled person.

Xie Jinhua quickly looked at Ke Qi, and said, "The mutton jelly was made by Ke Di in the big kitchen."

Ke Qi was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

Xie Jinhua put down his chopsticks and held Ke Qi's hand tightly.It really is his blessing to have Ke Di by his side!Ke Qi held Xie Jinhua's hand instead. Instead of being complacent about it, he broke out in a cold sweat. If it wasn't for all kinds of coincidences, Xie Jinhua would be really dangerous this time!

Xie San suddenly felt that he was redundant.He got up and said, "I still have to go to elder brother's place, let's go first."

Feng Liang invited Xie San to dinner, of course not only to express his gratitude, he was actually testing the Xie family under the order of the old general. The juniors gradually deepened their contacts.Xie San could make his own decisions and be friends with Feng Liang, but since the entire Xie family was involved, he didn't dare to respond casually.This kind of thing definitely needs the big brother to make up his mind.

Feng Liang was one year younger than Xie San, and a few years older than Yu Zhi.He was brought up by his parents since he was a child, and he has learned martial arts from an old and tough old general, and his skills are very good.Xie Sanneng met him because of a heroic rescue.Xie San, who has no martial arts at all, is that hero!

Feng Liang has always respected women. Although he has martial arts skills, he never does anything to women.Once he actually fell into the fairy jump because of this and couldn't get out.Xie San happened to pass by nearby, and brought Feng Liang out with a group of playboys.The two of them met.

"Brother, I thought I saved a beautiful girl... He is really more delicate than a girl! When I saw him, I couldn't help staring at his earlobe for a long time. Hey, look at it There are no more pierced ears... This is really disappointing." Xie San said with a sigh.

Xie Chunying listened to it for a long time, and Xie San repeatedly told the story of his hero saving the beauty, but he didn't say a word that was really useful.

Xie Chunying slowly touched the ruler placed on the table.

To beat, or not to beat, that is the question.
