Do you still want it, son?

Shen Huai picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips and sipped it. He had expected Ji Xiao to ask questions, and now he calmly said, "It's all just looking for an errand, I don't usually serve by King Ping's side."

Ji Xiao had a lot of questions in his mind, but he hesitated and felt that any question would be abrupt.As a commoner, what does he look like in front of Shen Huai who wantonly hallowed King Ping?Those who don't know will probably think that he has ulterior motives, and it's not uncommon for him to lose his head with a single sentence.Ji Xiao tightly squeezed the spoon in his hand, and lowered his eyes to bring the broth and rice to A Yuan's mouth.

A Yuanhun didn't know what was going on, he didn't know what the two adults were thinking, and he didn't know Ji Xiao's restraint and hesitation at the moment.He opened his mouth wide with a woo, and wrapped most of the spoon into his mouth, his eyes narrowed and he seemed extremely intoxicated.

"I also heard during the day that King Ping wants to leave his mansion in Pingyang County?" Ji Xiao put a piece of braised pork into the rice bowl in front of A Yuan, and pulled off a small piece of meat with chopsticks. Moving forward, Ji Xiao raised his eyes and said in a brisk tone, "Although they are all talking, I don't think it's true,"

Shen Huai swallowed the food in his mouth, put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and said with a smile, "Prince Ping really intends to place the palace in Pingyang County."

Ji Xiao was startled, the strength in his hand was loosened, and the food that had reached A Yuan's mouth fell back into the bowl together with the spoon.A Yuan opened his mouth for a long time but didn't eat anything. His eyebrows like two bugs trembled, and they wrinkled together in displeasure. "Eat, eat," he stretched out his hand to hold Ji Xiao's wrist, and used With some strength, he pulled his hand towards him.

"Let me do it," Shen Huai stood up, and he couldn't help but move the bowl that Ji Xiao was feeding A Yuan to in front of himself, and then stretched out his hands to A Yuan.

Whoever has milk is a mother, and whoever has food is a father.A Yuan immediately forgot the fear in Shen Huai's arms, the little white-fleshed worm struggled in Ji Xiao's arms and wanted to pounce towards Shen Huai.

"There is nothing wrong with Prince Ping settling in Pingyang County." Seeing Ji Xiao's worried face, Shen Huai said, "In the future, Pingyang City will be the center of this southern land. What price did A Xiao buy this small shop in the first place?" , it will double in less than half a year.”

Shen Huai also spoke in ordinary words, so as not to show his flaws.

A Yuan struggled so hard that Ji Xiao had no choice but to let go, seeing Shen Huai's empty rice bowl, he quickly stood up and said, "I'll go get you another bowl of rice."

"Hey, I'll add it later," Shen Huai called to stop Ji Xiao. He turned A Yuan and saw that the little guy was quite safe in his arms, so he said, "You eat first, and I have stuffed my stomach on the left and right, otherwise After you have finished feeding A Yuan, I will have enough to eat here."

After Shen Huai's words fell, he quickly picked up a spoonful of rice in his hand, imitated Ji Xiao's action just now, blew, and sent it to A Yuan's mouth.A Yuan gave the noodles, and he took the rice spoon in his mouth.

Seeing this, Ji Xiao couldn't say anything, so he had to pick up some food with his chopsticks, thinking that he would finish eating quickly before taking over.But compared to Shen Huai, he ate more slowly, no matter how fast he ate, and he didn't have much appetite at this time, and he couldn't eat much for a long time.

It was interesting for Shen Huai to feed A Yuan two mouthfuls of food. He never thought that feeding a baby would be fun.But at this moment, he, Ji Xiao and A Yuan, the three of them were eating around the dining table, the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, really like a family of three.

Except that Ji Xiao's mind is obviously not on eating at the moment.Shen Huai raised his eyes and glanced at the pale beauty opposite, knowing Ji Xiao's uneasiness, but he also murmured.Why does Ji Xiao avoid himself like a scourge?He was famous at a young age, and he wasn't short of an arm or a leg, nor was he a grizzled old man.Thinking of this, Shen Huai couldn't help but stop his chest.

A Yuan originally sat upright in Shen Huai's arms, eagerly waiting for the next bite of food, but when Shen Huai puffed up his chest, the little guy was bumped forward, if it wasn't for A Yuan's movement, he quickly reached out to hold the table Along, maybe he fell headfirst to the ground.

Shen Huai secretly said damn it, seeing that Ji Xiao had no idea, he quickly fished the little guy back with his hands, and before A Yuan could speak, he put a large piece of braised pork in his mouth.

A Yuan looked at the meat, then at Shen Huai, then at Ji Xiao, and hurriedly took a big bite of the meat, ignoring Shen Huai's recklessness.

"A Xiao said earlier that he might be leaving, but when will he be leaving later?" Shen Huai asked.

"Maybe the day after tomorrow, the time is not very accurate," Ji Xiao said.

Shen Huai shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to leave the city for these two months,"

"How do you say that?" Ji Xiao asked in surprise.

While lowering his head to feed A Yuan, Shen Huai explained, "Prince Ping wants to build the capital here, and there are many things to be busy in the middle. It doesn't matter if people from outside enter the city, but it is not easy for people from the city to leave the city."

"How could there be such a weird rule..." Ji Xiao put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, his complexion was much uglier than before.

Because I just made up nonsense.Shen Huai continued to talk nonsense without changing his face, "Who can tell what the boss is thinking? I guess it will be the first month, and it will be fine after the first month. This matter will not affect ordinary people, so there is no need to worry about it. .”

That being said, how could Ji Xiao not worry about it?

The moonlight was bright outside, and no one spoke in the house for a while.

There was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, someone had knocked on the door knocker.

"Ji Xiao, are you asleep?"

The speaking voice belonged to Chen Jiangchuan.

Ji Xiao quickly stood up and said, "I'll open the door." After speaking, he went outside.

Sitting in the room, Shen Huai frowned secretly, he turned A Yuan's head to himself, and asked seriously, "That little catcher, he usually comes here so late?"

A Yuan's big eyes stared at Shen Huai without blinking. Just when Shen Huai felt that he was stupid for asking A Yuan, A Yuan didn't know whether he understood or not, and suddenly came a word, "Come on, "

Shen Huai was taken aback, "It's really here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiao and Chen Jiangchuan came into the room outside.Shen Huai hurriedly silenced, picked up A Yuan and greeted him.

"The official is here?" Chen Jiangchuan met Shen Huai head-on, and stopped on the spot. Although he was not sure about Shen Huai's identity, he respectfully saluted Shen Huai. When he saw the dining table in the room again, his face Then he looked ashamed, turned his head and said to Ji Xiao, "I would have come late if I had known, and disturbed your meal."

"It's okay," Ji Xiao shook his head, "I've already finished eating, I prepared a few small dishes today to thank Jin He."

"I should be thankful," Chen Jiangchuan nodded in agreement, "You called me earlier, and you don't have to make such hasty preparations tonight. I'll be free tomorrow, and the official will give me a favor at noon?"

But really don't treat himself as an outsider, Shen Huai's heart is mad because of Chen Jiangchuan's familiar attitude towards Ji Xiao, but he can't show it on his face, he can only evade it bluntly.

"I have some business tomorrow, it's not convenient, and A Xiao has already entertained me, so you don't have to be polite."

Fortunately, Ji Xiao also evaded this matter, he said, "I should entertain Jinhe, brother Achuan has helped me a lot, I should entertain you again some day, how can I ask you to help me again?" What if I change favors?"

Chen Jiangchuan laughed and said, "Why are we still so clear?"

When Shen Huai heard this, he was so frightened that he almost dropped A Yuan to the ground. He couldn't help asking, "You?"

If there was anything, he would have taken out a knife and chopped Chen Jiangchuan into meat and boiled it right now!

"Brother Achuan takes good care of me," Ji Xiao said, "It's not an exaggeration to say he is my elder brother."

Hearing this, Chen Jiangchuan showed some disappointment on his face, but quickly covered it up and said, "That's right, I regard Ji Xiao as my family!"

"Oh," Shen Huai pointed to Chen Jiangchuan at A Yuan, and said, "A Yuan is a caller."

A Yuan kicked his feet twice in Shen Huai's arms, followed Chen Jiangchuan's expectant eyes and shouted, "Great!"

"What did A Yuan call me?" Shen Huai pointed to himself again.

The few pieces of meat just now were not for nothing. A Yuan raised his head to look at Shen Huai, pursed his mouth, and called out crisply, "Father!"

"Hey!" Shen Huai was overjoyed, and immediately responded, confirming the call of father.

Ji Xiao felt both funny and helpless, he said to A Yuan, "Why are you calling people carelessly?"

Shen Huai also looked at A Yuan with a smile, and said, "Child, sometimes you can't tell the difference, so don't be harsh on A Xiao."

At this time, Chen Jiangchuan explained the purpose of coming, "Ji Xiao, I came here to talk to you about Sun Liu."

As soon as he mentioned Sun Liu's name, the smile on Ji Xiao's face faded, and he turned his head nervously to meet Chen Jiangchuan's gaze and said, "Sun Liu, what's wrong with him?"

"I came here specially to tell you that you don't have to worry about Sun Liu's affairs." Chen Jiangchuan stepped forward and patted Ji Xiao on the shoulder, "I watched them all day today, and with their current appearance, there is nothing wrong with them." What's the matter, besides, I met the county master today, and he also wanted to deal with it strictly, presumably because King Ping suddenly turned back and scared him enough."

Ji Xiao smiled gratefully, "Brother Achuan, please."

Shen Huai's eyes were fixed on Chen Jiangchuan's hand that was placed on Ji Xiao's shoulder like fire. If his sight could chop his hand, Chen Jiangchuan would have nothing left now.

"I heard that there are not enough rooms in the post station. I wonder if the official can find a place to rest tonight?" Chen Jiangchuan noticed Shen Huai's gaze. Although he was a little puzzled, he also took the initiative to speak up to bring the slightly awkward atmosphere to him. past.

Unexpectedly, this question came at the right time, Shen Huai changed his mind, and said, "I haven't had time to go to the post station, so I'm afraid I won't have a room if I go back."

As he spoke, he turned his head to stare at Ji Xiao, and said cheekily with a smile, "Tonight I think I will have to make do with A Xiao's place all night."
