Do you still want it, son?

"I won't blame you for this," Shen Huai took off his clothes, casually put them in the crook of his arms, he spread his palms flat in front of Ji Xiao, and said, "Show me your hands. "

Ji Xiao was a little confused, so he hesitated and stretched out his hand, "Do, what are you doing?"

What's so nice about his hands.

Shen Huai held his fingertips, his hands were soft and soft, and his fingers were slender.He resisted the throbbing in his heart, carefully stared at Ji Xiao's fingertips inch by inch, and found a few small red pinholes on it as expected.

His brows immediately wrinkled.

Ji Xiao found out that Shen Huai saw this, and he felt a little embarrassed, "It's inevitable," he explained slowly, "My needles are not good enough, and it's inevitable that I'll prick them once or twice. It’s not uncommon for even those sister-in-laws who have trained as female workers for more than 20 or [-] years to get needles from time to time.”

Shen Huai gently rubbed his fingertips, although he saw that Ji Xiao's expression was the same, he was still unhappy, because of the excitement Ji Xiao made for himself, his excitement suddenly decreased by three points, "Does it hurt? In a while, I will ask Jinchun to find some medicine for you to apply."

"No need," Ji Xiao blushed, it was actually a little painful, but he didn't want Shen Huai to feel that he was a person who would cry out for pain even after being pricked by a needle a few times, so he immediately promised solemnly, "Really It doesn’t hurt, and every time I make clothes, I have to pierce it several times, I’m used to it.”

Shen Huai didn't take it seriously, he stroked Ji Xiao's fingertips with his slightly rough fingertips, and took another breath, until he was afraid that Ji Xiao would feel something was wrong, so he slowly let go.

"I'll ask Jinchun to get the medicine in a while, and I'll apply some every day in the future, you understand?"

Shen Huai let go, and Ji Xiao felt a little pity in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he just lowered his head to hide his expression, "Got it."

A bird flew flutteringly outside the window, and clumsily fixed it on the window a few times, attracting the attention of the people in the room.

Shen Huai walked to the window, raised his hand and opened the window a crack, the stupid bird squeezed in hastily, cooing and landed on Shen Huai's shoulder.

It was a carrier pigeon with a wad of paper tied to its foot.

Seeing this, Ji Xiao knew that Shen Huai was on business, so he took the initiative to say without waiting for him to speak, "Jin He, A Yuan is still sleeping in the room alone, I'll go back and see him, this, this clothes, if you If there is something that doesn't fit, just tell me, and it only takes a few stitches to change it."

Shen Huai thought, how could I ask you to do this again?But on the surface, he still smiled and answered the matter, and said, "I will let this spring pass in a while."

Ji Xiao nodded, then turned around and opened the door to go out.

Back in his room, A Yuan was fast asleep.He lay on his back on the bed, with his hands clenched into fists on both sides of his head, and his mouth was pursed unconsciously.

Ji Xiao lay down next to A Yuan lightly, staring at the top of the tent in a daze.He thought of the conversation between the two in Shen Huai's room just now, and Shen Huai's intimacy, and his heart couldn't help but thump when he thought about it.

I just posted it for a while, and this spring came knocking on the door.

"Grandpa, are you in there?"

Ji Xiao got up and covered A Yuan with a quilt, and responded softly and walked quickly to open the door. When the door opened, a cold air mixed with rain came in.

Autumn really is here.

Jinchun held a small tray in his hand, and inside it were two exquisite porcelain vases, one red and one white, standing firmly.

Jinchun took a look at A Yuan who was asleep in the inner tent, and when he walked, his footsteps were barely audible.

"This ointment is very good for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to treat wounds." Jinchun pulled Ji Xiao to sit down at the table, she opened the white bottle and said, "If there is something bumped, just use it for a long time Can see the effect, "

The milk-colored ointment was applied to Ji Xiao's fingertips this spring, and it melted on the skin in a few strokes.

Although Ji Xiao felt very sweet in his heart, he couldn't help but feel that Shen Huai was making a fuss out of a molehill, and at the same time felt distressed, "This medicine looks like a good medicine, and it's really a waste to use it on such a small injury. Needlework is nothing. inevitable."

Jinchun pursed her lips and smiled, "Needlework is indeed inevitable. When slaves practiced needlework from a young age, their hands were all tied so hard that they couldn't see."

Seeing that Jinchun agreed, Ji Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile rose between his brows, "That's it..."

He was about to continue talking, but Jinchun shook his head, her appearance was not very outstanding, but her eyes were extremely lively.While putting away the white porcelain bottle this spring, she opened another red porcelain bottle. She poured the thick liquid in the red porcelain bottle into the palm of her hand, and then gently rubbed it on Ji Xiao's hands On, she said, "Master, no matter how my hands are tied, it should be done, because I am a slave, and you shouldn't do these jobs in the future."

Ji Xiao was stunned, he felt that there was some misunderstanding this spring, for example, she regarded herself as someone of the same level as Shen Huai.He quickly explained, "That's not the case, what should I do? What I want to accomplish, I should put in my efforts..."

Jinchun smiled helplessly and shook her head. She put away the tray and stood up straight, "Master, the white one is for healing, and the red one is for moisturizing the skin. Don't confuse it when you usually use it. The servant will leave first."

This spring is so polite that he is very alienated, Ji Xiao has no way to start, so he can only stop the rhetoric behind.

A Yuan didn't wake up until the rain gradually subsided in the afternoon. He closed his eyes and turned over happily. Unexpectedly, he turned over on a pair of big hands instead of the soft quilt.The big hand grabbed his belly and lifted him up.

A Yuan flew into the air in an instant, his limbs scrambled in fright, and he cried out with a wow.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was facing Shen Huai's eyes, looking at him suspiciously.Ah Yuan felt that something was wrong, and while kicking his legs, pouted his buttocks and turned his head to call his father.

Shen Huai patted his chubby buttocks, supported his creaky nest with both hands, picked up A Yuan and pressed him into his arms, "What's your name, I'm your father too."

A Yuan had nowhere to go, so he hurriedly called Shen Huai, "Daddy, Daddy,"

Shen Huai hooked A Yuan's collar and carefully looked at the stitches on it, not to mention anything else, the stitches on the little coat and the little apron inside were undoubtedly made by Ji Xiao .

"You little thing," Shen Huai couldn't bear to pat A Yuan's butt again, gritted his teeth and said, "What's the use of calling me dad, how much has A Xiao suffered for you?"

A Yuan was confused and couldn't understand what Shen Huai said, and now he only knew how to flatter him with the one or two words he knew, wishing that a puppy would grow out of his buttocks and shake his tail vigorously, "Father, okay , hello dad!"

"It's a little bit of a conscience of yours, it's good to know A Xiao," Shen Huai held him in his arms, touched A Yuan's warm little hand, and then walked outside.

A Yuan hugged Shen Huai's neck tightly, afraid that he would throw him halfway, and his eyes were busy searching for Ji Xiao's figure in the yard.

Ji Xiao was standing in front of the old site of the tavern, discussing with several masons how to rebuild the tavern.

Ji Xiao originally meant to restore it to its original size, the front was just a broken door, and the left was just repaired.No one knows what kind of small worker the Wu family hired to tear down these brick walls and corrugated piece by piece, without rebuilding.

The Wu family... Ji Xiao thought of what Chen Jiangchuan said to him in the morning, and felt that it was a bit exaggerated.What kind of family is the Wu family? He knows something in his heart. Even if Jin He is by King Ping's side, how can he have such an overwhelming ability to get people into prison?At this moment, claiming to be a bricklayer sent by the Wu family dispelled Ji Xiao's doubts.

Even if there is, Ji Xiao feels that the Wu family must have crossed the line, and they are arrogant enough on weekdays.

A Yuan saw Ji Xiao's back from a distance, and immediately fluttered restlessly, "Father, hug, hug!"

He still remembered the two spankings he gave Shen Huai just now in the room, the little baby didn't show it on the face, but he held a grudge in his heart.

When Ji Xiao heard A Yuan's voice, he turned around quickly, and seeing the little guy thumping violently, he hurried forward and hugged him into his arms.

As soon as A Yuan fell into Ji Xiao's arms, he breathed a sigh of relief.He wrapped his arms around Ji Xiao's neck, pointed at Shen Huai with his fat hand, and was about to sue, but Shen Huai's palm somehow transformed into a small square cake wrapped in oil paper, which flashed in front of A Yuan's eyes.

When Ah Yuan woke up from sleep, it was just when his stomach was empty. He didn’t think about it before. When he saw this pastry, he immediately forgot the old and new hatreds. .

There are still some continuous drizzles in the air, intermittently and lightly falling on the top of the person's hair.Ji Xiao stood outside for a while, although he didn't realize it, but there was a dense layer of water droplets on the top of his head.

Shen Huai stood beside him, covering him with one hand, and covering the head of A Yuan who was like a little mouse eating cakes with the other.

"It can't be any smaller," a middle-aged old master compared the size, and explained to Ji Xiao, "According to the size you originally gestured, it is really crowded. I heard that your reconstruction is very difficult. It’s not good to be too small to do wine business.”

Ji Xiao quickly said, "No, only this land belongs to my house, and the other half." He pointed to Shen Huai, "The other half belongs to him."

The middle-aged master looked at Ji Xiao, then at Shen Huai, who was so attentive to cover Ji Xiao and A Yuan from the rain, frowned and asked in doubt, "Aren't you two from the same family?"
