Based on Li Wang's past experience, he guessed that Ji Xiaoyan would not let him suffer, but he never thought that he would live so comfortably.

Seeing how he was enjoying himself while eating, Li Wang wished he could go up to twist his ears.

Ji Xiaoyan was unaware of Li Wang's state of mind. After eating, he walked through the government office with his brother Liang to look at the rice in the back of the house. He didn't look like he was in prison at all.

Li Wang saw the two of them leaving, and after putting away the beggar chicken, he silently followed behind them.

Ji Xiaoyan has a very good impression of Brother Liang, and feels that he has an aura that makes one can't help being close.Brother Liang also liked this lively little brother very much, so after the two of them stayed for a while, the chatter gradually opened up.

It turns out that Brother Liang was originally the school boy of the county magistrate. The two grew up as childhood sweethearts, and the mother of the county magistrate also liked him. Therefore, the two families formed a baby relationship a long time ago. became a pro.

"Azhen's father was dissatisfied with me, and originally planned to make me a concubine, but his mother persuaded my father-in-law, so I became the wife," Liang Geer said, "My brother's constitution is difficult to conceive, but not long after marriage I had it, but when the official became the county magistrate, I was injured in an accident, and I never got pregnant again."

Ji Xiaoyan's expression was very solemn when he heard this, and when Brother Liang finished speaking, he said: "In fact, it is not easy for a woman who is prone to conceive to give birth, so you are not afraid that something will happen to you?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that if I don't have a child, I will be forced to leave the government." Brother Liang smiled wryly, "A while ago, my father-in-law urged us to have a child again. The official was looking for a concubine, but when the official learned about it, he got very angry, he said that he would not marry anyone else, and even said that if I really can't conceive, I will find a family member to adopt under his name."

Ji Xiaoyan was a little shocked when he heard this.

Although he has not met many people in this world, he understands the feudalism here, so after knowing what the county magistrate did to Brother Liang, he couldn't help sighing: "My lord, he really loves you."

Brother Liang lowered his head: "Really? Maybe."

Seeing his preoccupied appearance, Ji Xiaoyan asked, "What's wrong?"

Brother Liang touched the rice he planted, and said softly after a while: "When I was his bookboy earlier, I heard him say that he fell in love with the lady next door, and then he got very drunk on the day he married me, and he hasn't touched me for half a year." Not long after, I heard my mother-in-law said that he didn't want to marry me in his heart, but he didn't want to go against his mother's idea or obey her. After so many years, I know that he must have my place in his heart, but how much? , I don’t know, and I don’t dare to know, I’m afraid that all his liking for me comes from the knife I saved him that year.”

Seeing Brother Liang talking so much, Ji Xiaoyan knew that he really regarded himself as a friend, so he pondered for a few seconds and asked, "I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?" At this point, he rushed to answer, " Well, whether you want to listen or not, I will tell you."

Brother Liang was amused by him, and he nodded: "Brother Ji, please tell me."

"As the saying goes: bystanders are clear, authorities are obsessed. But I don't believe that you haven't felt the affection of your officials for you after all these years," Ji Xiaoyan said, "I didn't dare to look at you in the lobby yesterday, but today I am See it really, your adults definitely have you in their hearts."

Brother Liang was startled: "Really?"

Ji Xiaoyan hummed: "If you don't believe me, you can ask him directly."

Brother Liang hesitated and said, "How should I ask?"

"Just tell me," Ji Xiaoyan waved his hand, "Ask him why he doesn't want to take a concubine, and ask him if he likes you."

"What if he says no?" Brother Liang said again.

"Give him a chance if you don't mind it," Ji Xiaoyan said, "If he still says no, you can either make peace with him or stop dealing with his family, and find a concubine for him, and you can continue to be the wife. As for the child, let him not even think about it."

After Ji Xiaoyan finished speaking, he wandered around the field with Brother Liang for a while, and then followed him to the kitchen.

The lunch was cooked by the chef and Liang Geer, and Ji Xiaoyan helped. The three of them talked and laughed, and the kitchen was very lively.

Li Wang was always by the side when they were talking, he watched Ji Xiaoyan's every move without blinking, and wondered how long it had been since he had looked at him so carefully.

The former county magistrate Zhou Zhao came back after all the meals were ready. He first glanced at the dishes on the table, and then asked Brother Liang: "Have you cooked?"

"I helped a little," Brother Liang waited on him to wipe his hands and eat, "Brother Ji said that I cook well, so I want to show him off."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhao turned his head and smiled at Ji Xiaoyan: "Brother Liang is weak, and he rarely cooks. It seems that he likes you very much for cooking for Brother Ji this time. You should eat more."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiaoyan and Brother Liang were taken aback. Ji Xiaoyan thought that the county magistrate was the county magistrate, and he was quite good at talking around the bush.

Brother Liang secretly pinched Zhou Zhao's waist, and then said to Ji Xiaoyan: "If Brother Ji likes it, come back next time, and I will do something else for you."

Being pinched so that Mr. Zhou sat on the main seat as immobile as a mountain, when Brother Liang sat next to him, he said: "Let's eat."

After the three of them had finished eating, brother Liang wanted to find Ji Xiaoyan a place to rest for an afternoon nap. After hearing what he said, Ji Xiaoyan refused directly. He felt that he was facing a lawsuit after all, and he was afraid that it would be wrong to live directly at the county magistrate's house, so he decided to Tell Brother Liang that he is going back to prison.

Brother Liang frowned when he knew what he meant. He asked Ji Xiaoyan to wait a while, and went to the study to reason with his officials.

Seeing brother Liang running in panting, Zhou Zhao thought something was wrong, so he hurried over to help Liang brother, Liang brother slapped his hand, and said a little unhappy: "Ji brother is going back to the prison !"

Zhou Zhao was startled: "He's going back now?"

"That's right," Brother Liang pushed him, "He's such a little brother, it's really wrong to let him be with a group of yamen servants last night, do you still want to let him go now?"

After hearing what his brother said, Zhou Zhao realized that there was still such a thing. He patted his forehead: "Oh, I forgot, let him live in our house."

"I don't want it," Brother Liang looked at Zhou Zhao reproachfully, "He's afraid of ruining your reputation, so he won't agree with anything."

For Zhou Zhao's difficulty, he walked around Brother Liang and said, "How about this, isn't there a side room next to the cell? I'll have someone clean it up for him to live in. When he is promoted tomorrow, the yamen will It’s also easy to lead people, do you think it’s okay?”

Liang Geer glanced at him: "Okay, just listen to the officials."

Half an hour later, Ji Xiaoyan was taken by Brother Liang to the side room outside the prison. There was only a small bed and two stools in this room. Although it was crude, it was still clean.

Ji Xiaoyan was quite satisfied with this place, thanked Mrs. Zhou Zhao, watched them leave, and then closed the door and lay down on the small bed.

Li Wang finally let him sleep when he was alone. He was about to wake Ji Xiaoyan up, but his mind suddenly changed.

Ji Xiaoyan drank most of the night yesterday, and now he is already tired, but when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt that his right cheek was touched by a soft object.

He scratched indiscriminately, turned over and continued to sleep.

Li Wang saw that he didn't open his eyes, and raised his hand to pull his hair again. Ji Xiaoyan was quite irritable, and he said angrily, "I'll never finish you."

Li Wang thought he didn't take it seriously when he was talking in his sleep, but Ji Xiaoyan's next sentence was: "Where is the beggar chicken? You ate it?"

Li Wang was stunned: "Can you see me?"

"I saw you as soon as you came," Ji Xiaoyan rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed, "I think you're pretending to be pretty, so I didn't expose you."

Li Wang withdrew his invisibility card, and took out the beggar chicken hidden in his sleeve and handed it to him.

Ji Xiaoyan was no longer sleepy when he saw the beggar chicken, and started to eat the chicken after holding it.

Li Wang was amused by his anxious look, and was about to tease him, when Ji Xiaoyan, who had eaten several mouthfuls, suddenly shrunk his mouth, and tears glistened in his eyes.

Li Wang was startled, and hurried over to pat him on the back: "What's the matter? Is the chicken delicious?"

"It's delicious," Ji Xiaoyan said, "It's just so delicious, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it later."

Li Wang felt sore and numb after hearing this, he squatted beside the bed, and reached out to wipe off the oil on the corner of Ji Xiaoyan's mouth.Ji Xiaoyan's mouth was flattened into a duck shape, he no longer ate chicken, but stared straight at Li Wang.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Li Wang felt very sorry. He and Ji Xiaoyan looked at each other for a few seconds, and then said: "I'm sorry."

After hearing this, Ji Xiaoyan took a deep breath: "When are you leaving today?"

Li Wang shook his head: "I'm not leaving today, I'll be with you."

Ji Xiaoyan didn't look surprised at all, he said, "Just stay with me for one night?"

Li Wang acquiesced, and then said: "The autopsy done by Wu should be almost over today, and I guess I can be promoted again tomorrow, and Uncle Jin and I will come over by then."

Ji Xiaoyan nodded: "I hope you don't let me out so quickly."

Li Wang was puzzled: "Why?"

"Except for those two old men, no one cares about me at home. At least there are people here to drink and chat with me."

Hearing this, Li Wang suddenly remembered what he overheard at the backyard wall in the morning. He glanced at Ji Xiaoyan's face, and asked cautiously, "Did you drink with someone yesterday?"

"Drink it," Ji Xiaoyan said, "and drank a lot! There is a big brother named Chen Cong who knows ventriloquism, and yesterday he said a cross talk with two voices, which made me so happy."

Speaking of this, he deliberately said: "By the way, you'd better go tonight, so that I can go and listen to him."

Li Wang naturally knew that what Ji Xiaoyan said was false, but he had to care about the name Chen Cong. He smiled coyly and coaxed Ji Xiaoyan for a long time.

But in fact, Ji Xiaoyan's anger almost disappeared after seeing him in the morning, and he kept asking Li Wang to coax him because he liked to see him humiliating. When he was done watching, he asked Li Wang to stay for a few days accompany myself.

Li Wang fully agreed, and vowed that he would not go out again when his points were almost up, and stay at home with Ji Xiaoyan with peace of mind.

Ji Xiaoyan saw that what he said was so sincere, so he gave up and stopped embarrassing him.
