Do you still want it, son?

In the kitchen after two hits on the butt.

A Yuan sat on the bench with his butt pouted, eating Shen Huai's apology wonton with a small spoon and tears in his eyes.His shoulders trembled with the movement of sobbing, but he moved his mouth faster. Although he didn't use the spoon very neatly, he went down half a bowl of dough with meat in no time after snoring, and his mouth was full of water. Light.

On the one hand, Ji Xiao looked soft-hearted, but on the other hand, he felt that A Yuan really should learn some lessons, so he forced himself to ignore the little white worm's gaze that secretly turned his head to look at him with a straight face.

Seeing this, A Yuan sniffed, put down the wooden spoon in his hand and walked over to Ji Xiao's side, hooked Ji Xiao's palm hanging by his side with his own little hand, and softly called out, "Father, "

Ji Xiao was at a loss at the moment, and his heart was full of doubts. A Yuan leaned over so softly, but it made him calm down.

For nothing else but for A Yuan, he didn't have to panic.

Ji Xiao squatted down to hug A Yuan, and kissed him on the cheek helplessly.A Yuan's face was tender and smooth, and he was so fat that he wanted to bounce people back.He is really cute and considerate, Ji Xiao has nothing to do with him, so how can he really get angry.

"You can't mess around like this next time, remember?"

A Yuan got the kiss, and was sniggering, and now hearing Ji Xiao's words, he pouted half-understood and wanted to kiss Ji Xiao to show his favor.

Seeing this, Shen Huai took a step forward from behind Ji Xiao and hugged one big and one small into his arms, and said with some taste, "I want to kiss you too."

As soon as A Yuan saw Shen Huai's face, he immediately puffed up as if blown by someone, almost expressing his unhappiness on his face.He still remembered who was the one who carried him and spanked him several times.

Ji Xiao tilted his head, keeping the abnormality on his face out of Shen Huai's sight.His voice was light, and he couldn't hear much happiness or anger. He just said softly, "What are you arguing with A Yuan?"

Shen Huai thought to himself, is there anything I want to argue with A Yuan, but now it's good, there is one more baby to fight for.

He clasped Ji Xiao's thin shoulders tightly, and lightly stroked it twice with his fingertips, only thinking that Ji Xiao's depression was because he spanked A Yuan's ass just now.

"A Xiao..." Shen Huai half closed his eyes, his cool lips touched Ji Xiao's ear, "Are you angry with me because of A Yuan?" He laughed twice, his tone was low and hoarse, "Be careful... Be careful, A Xiao, don't be angry with me. I can't do anything about you. If you get angry, I don't know what to do."

Accompanied by the kiss, his voice was captivating, and Ji Xiao's fingertips hidden under his sleeves tightly clasped his palm, so that he could barely resist not being addicted to it.

If Jinhe is really, really King Ping, Ji Xiao felt at a loss in his heart, what can he do, and run away with A Yuan?

But how could Jinhe be King Ping? Ji Xiao laughed at himself in a flash. If he was really King Ping, why would he make up one lie after another to deceive someone like himself?For King Ping, taking by force, taking by life and death is nothing more than a sentence, an order.He would never be so sentimental that he would spend so much time coaxing Prince Ping for a person like himself.

Because of his joy for Shen Huai and Shen Huai's sincerity, Ji Xiao subconsciously didn't believe that Shen Huai would be Ping Wang.He also had an indelible inferiority complex for himself because of his low position in the past twenty years, humiliation and censure.

As for the phoenix pattern jade pendant, maybe, maybe it's just a similar pattern?Ji Xiao tried every reason to convince himself.

However, once the seeds of doubt are planted, no matter whether you water them or not, they will always sprout.

The next morning, it started to rain, fine and dense, fluttering down continuously.The dark tiles between the blue bricks stretch all the way to the boundary stone tablet at the entrance of Pingyang County, covering the entire Pingyang City in the rain.

Ji Xiao took A Yuan and sat in the repaired tavern for half a morning.Although I didn't sit in the rain, I gradually felt some damp on my clothes, which made me feel uncomfortable.

He put down the half-read book in his hand, got up and touched A Yuan's sleeve sitting in the wooden barrel, and sure enough, his hand was a little sticky.

A Yuan lowered his head and fiddled with the small abacus Shen Huai had specially asked to make for him, one by one from the top to the bottom, and then back to the top one by one from the bottom, pretending to settle accounts, but it looked decent.

"Is the young master making trouble with you?" Jinchun walked to the door with a polite expression, her hands were hanging by her sides, and she looked at Ji Xiao indifferently.

Ji Xiao looked up, "No, just,"

He was about to continue talking when a face flashed through the window, and he said with a smile and a little anxiously, "Xiao Ji, give me two catties of wine, my son has come back from outside." !" The one who spoke was an old man who lived alone in the alley. He usually walked around alone and didn't smile at all, but he was polite to Ji Xiao behind the scenes, which was rare.

Ji Xiao walked over quickly, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you find a wine jar."

His eyes flicked over the few two-jin wine jars at the bottom, and he slowed down, thinking of something, but he didn't stop, and turned to look at the one-jin jars above.

The old man standing outside couldn't wait for him to dawdle like this, he kept looking home, sighed a little apologetically, "Oh, the dishes in my pot are still cooking, and I can't get away for a while, Xiao Ji, can you help me take them away?" come over?"

Ji Xiao naturally agreed, he loosened his hand on the wine jar, "Sure, a few steps to the left and right, you go back first, I'll send it to you when I'm done."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and left with a smile on his face.

Ji Xiao turned around, saw that Jinchun was still there, leaned over and took out the wine jar below, and said while pouring wine, "Jichun, first take A Yuan to the house and change his coat, I will return after I deliver the wine .”

Jinchun did not suspect him, nodded lightly, walked two steps closer, bent down and stretched out his arms to hug A Yuan.

With a calm expression, A Yuan raised his arms to snuggle into Jinchun's arms.

Ji Xiao poured the wine, opened the door with an umbrella and walked out.

Xiao Wu stood by the door, stepped forward to stop Ji Xiao when he saw this, and asked, "Where are you going?" He glanced at the wine in Ji Xiao's hand, and said, "Just leave the errand work to us That's it." He said reaching out to pick it up.

Ji Xiao avoided the small wine jar, shook his head and said, "Those who are only a few steps away are all neighbors in the neighborhood." He looked at the knife pinned to Xiao Wu's waist, bent his eyebrows, and said with a gentle smile, "You go like this, don't scare people."

When Ji Xiao said this, Xiao Wu, the person who bought the wine just now, also saw him, so he stopped insisting, and just said, "If there is anything, just call me."

Ji Xiao was noncommittal, turned around and walked into the rain with an umbrella.

Whether it's Jinchun, Qingyun, or the gatekeeper Xiao Wu, none of them like to go out alone, Ji Xiao has already noticed this.But the more this happened, the more he wanted to go out and see what they wanted him to avoid.

He squeezed the wine jar in his hand, and walked slowly with every step, followed closely by the gaze behind him, until Ji Xiao turned into the alley on the other side.

Xiao Wu withdrew his gaze, his hand on the handle only felt the chill from the scabbard, he twirled his fingertips, and lowered his hand.

"Thank you, Xiao Ji," In another yard, the old man took out a few copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao smiled and picked it up, and when he turned his head to leave, he seemed to think of something, and turned to ask the old man, "Deng Bo, I remember that there is a door behind your house that opens directly to the main road, can it be convenient, I think Go out and do some shopping."

The old man heard the words and said loudly, "What's the trouble here? Here, the door is over there. You can open it yourself. Don't forget to close it for me. I'm going to cook, so I can't take care of it."

Without waiting for Ji Xiao to thank him, the old man turned back to the kitchen as expected.

The rain was getting heavier, and it hit the oil-paper umbrella with a splash, making it even cooler.Standing in front of that door, Ji Xiao thought of Shen Huai's gentle smile before he left the door in the morning, he felt a twitch in his heart, and stretched out his hand to push it out.

Pingyang County can no longer be called Pingyang County. Even if it is raining, the number of pedestrians on the street will only increase compared with before.Ji Xiao crossed two streets and turned into the busy city.

The location of Prince Ping's Mansion has been determined. It is in the middle of Pingyang County, so many people want to move out.Because the money was plentiful, not many people complained.

Ji Xiao stood under the tree with an umbrella, looked left and right, and saw a small teahouse not far away.He went over to order a pot of tea, sat in an inconspicuous position in the corner, and looked at the mansion with its facade from a distance, with many people coming in and out.

At the scene of a small pot of tea, a carriage hurriedly broke through the rain curtain and came across, and before the door, seven or eight young men with umbrellas greeted them.Ji Xiao stiffened his fingertips while holding the teacup, and looked at Shen Huai who came down from the familiar carriage.

Because King Ping lived in this city, even the story of the storyteller in the teahouse has changed one after another. Today's story is also an interesting story about King Ping when he was a child.

Ji Xiao followed Shen Huai in with his eyes, but he heard the storyteller tell a little story that he didn't know the truth.

"Fifteen years ago, there was a Tanhualang in our county named Chen Jinhe. There were many disasters and hardships on the road, he really had no choice, so he went to someone to make a fortune, hey, the result was terrible..."

The storyteller paused pretending to be mysterious, whetted the appetite of the people around him.

"What's the matter, you should go on!"

"That's right, don't hurry up!"

Shen Huai's figure disappeared into Ji Xiao's eyes. He withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and was about to get up to leave, but after hearing the storyteller laughed twice, he continued, "The fortune-teller said, there is a thousand mistakes. The fault is that Tanhualang made a mistake, what is the name is not good, it should be called Jinhe, you must know that the character of the sixth prince is the character of the current king of Ping is Jinhe, although the characters are different, but the similar names still collide With dragon energy, can he go smoothly this way?"

As soon as the storyteller finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Ji Xiao just stood there in a daze, not even noticing that the raindrops hit the top of his head.
