Do you still want it, son?

"My father can also make wine," Ding Xiang said with a smile, not caring too much, "but he made it to drink by himself. When the family was good when he was a child, the smell of glutinous rice wine was in his nose. After many years away from home, he I don't know anymore."

Ji Xiao lowered his head, holding the needle and thread in his hand, and shuttled back and forth between the two separated pieces of fabric.

"My mother's wine is also very fragrant. It's purely to please my father, but it's not very useful in the first few years." Ji Xiao's voice was steady, with a little urgent and deep.

Regarding his mother, Ji Xiao's memory is very faded.The only thing is the smell of wine and a slender hand in memory.She also called A Xiao when she was happy, but such times were rare, Ji Xiao usually avoided seeing her.Because she is crazy and noisy, every appearance of Ji Xiao reminds her who dragged her from heaven to hell.She was full of joy with Ji Guihong, wholeheartedly thinking that Ji Guihong really loved her, but when this weird child was born, everything changed.

Ji Xiao actually understood what her biological mother did, her timidity and hesitation, her heartache and disappointment.Even when she died in that rainy day later, she became a very vague shadow.

"A Xiao," she held a light red oil-paper umbrella, and slowly approached herself from the drizzle.

At that time Ji Xiao was still very young, he was bullied in school and had nothing to say, he just sat on a stool and huddled in the corner of the room crying.Hearing the sound, he raised his head, and saw a hand reaching out, gently wiping away his tears.

"Don't cry," she followed, lowering her head, without any hesitation in the past, she lowered her head and kissed Ji Xiao's fair cheek, "Mother came to see you."

It was the first time she claimed to be her mother in front of Ji Xiao, and Ji Xiao still couldn't react, so he yelled, "Auntie..."

"Call mother." When she got inside, she also took away the umbrella, and a small red umbrella held the two of them under the umbrella, separating a small world.

In the blink of an eye, she shed two tears, and Ji Xiao became flustered, and said quickly, "Mother."

"Good boy," she reached out and stroked Ji Xiao's temple hair. In the blink of an eye, there were two more tears, and they seemed to be unstoppable, falling down in a rustle, "You are still so young, you don't understand anything. I can't help you," she spoke slowly, except for her beautiful appearance, she didn't look the same as before.

It was the first time that Ji Xiao had his mother caring, so he quickly took her hand and said, "Mother, mother is good to A Xiao." Although she didn't look like usual, she had never used violence against Ji Xiao like others.In the eyes of Ji Xiao at that time, this was already good enough evidence.Her only melancholy seems to be because of Ji Guihong's unrequited love.

"Silly boy," her tears flowed even more violently, she lowered her head and muttered to herself, "I'm sorry for you," she said, then raised her head again, under Ji Xiao's puzzled eyes, , put the purse he brought over on Ji Xiao's small palm.

"Here, there is some money I saved. You keep it well. Don't let those scumbags see it. Now that you are still studying, remember to read more books." She looked up at Ji Xiao, her bright eyes were Ji Xiao's. Xiao had seen the prettiest one ever, "When you get old," she told Ji Xiao, "don't stay in this place anymore, you can't stay in this place, you know?"

"I know, I know." Ji Xiao nodded ignorantly, not knowing what she meant at that time.

He was full of joy because of the first care of his biological mother.

After saying these words, she got up again, walked outside the door and stopped again, looked back at Ji Xiao who had chased to the door, and smiled with tears in her eyes, "Don't send A Xiao, the one behind is not very pretty."

What's wrong with the back...?Ji Xiao didn't understand, but he didn't dare to chase her anymore, he just watched her back walk to the gate of the courtyard, turned away and disappeared.

That was the last time Ji Xiao saw his biological mother, and he never even knew her name.

On a rainy day, the two-foot white silk ended a precarious life.

"My father made wine, but he only drank it for himself." Ding Xiang's voice brought Ji Xiao back from his thoughts. Refusing to give more is really a stingy temper."

Ji Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't speak.

There was a sudden noise outside, as if the courtyard door was pushed open recklessly.

A Yuan moved into the yard from the threshold half as high as him, and staggered towards the yard.The jade-white clothes he wore in the morning were already covered with gray and black marks, but his little face was flushed and full of energy.

Shen Huai strode behind A Yuan, seeing his appearance, there was a smile on his lips.

"Father," A Yuan went up the steps and poked his head in to look at Ji Xiao.

Hearing Aussie's voice, Ji Xiao immediately put down the things in his hands, got up and went out, "Why did it get so dirty?" He held Ayuan and patted him up and down.

A Yuan laughed twice, and for some reason she was happy, so she swooped over and kissed Ji Xiao on the face, acting like a baby with joy, "Qihuan, Qihuan's father."

"I like A Yuan too," Ji Xiao kissed A Yuan's soft cheek, then reached out and tapped the tip of his nose, and said, "Did A Yuan listen to your father this morning?"

A Yuan nodded quickly, then turned back and pointed at Shen Huai, asking him to come out to testify for himself, "Father, say,"

"Ah Yuan is really good in the martial arts training ground today." Shen Huai walked up the steps, took Ji Xiao's hand, and twisted it with his fingertips, "Squatting half a stick of fragrant horse stance before stopping with trembling feet, Looking at the side from the back is also rising, "

A Yuan buried his head between Ji Xiao's neck with a smile, and acknowledged all the compliments, but he didn't expect some rewards to follow.

During the hunting, Shen Huai remembered the way A Yuan hid in the tent and watched people shoot arrows, and then secretly touched the quiver.As soon as he got down the mountain, he asked someone to re-make the small quiver and small bow suitable for A Yuan, which were different from the jokes given to A Yuan before. This time, he also brought a small soft target with a It also seems to have massacred red.

This whole set was placed in the yard together with the eighteen kinds of weapons made of wood, and A Yuan's eyes lit up.Immediately, hey, hey, he crawled down from Ji Xiao's lap in amazement, and took the initiative to hold Shen Huai's hand and walked down.

Ji Xiao followed him out of the house, watched as Shen Huai held A Yuan's hand, pulled the bow and arrow to the full, and then stabbed it on the small target with a rustle.

A Yuan cheered happily, picked up another arrow unsteadily, and shot it tentatively.

The small arrow rose and fell, and finally fell in front of the target little by little.A Yuan pursed his mouth, a little discouraged, and turned to look at Shen Huai.

It was rare for Shen Huai to be in a good mood for him. He stretched out his hand to rub A Yuan's hair, and said, "Practice slowly, and have breakfast first."

During breakfast, Ji Xiao and Shen Huai talked about going to the courtyard in two days.

Shen Huai picked out the meat from the steamed bun for Ji Xiao, and put the steamed bun skin stained with gravy into his bowl, and all the meat went to A Yuan.Father and son, one doesn't like to eat meat, the other is carnivorous, so it's a good match.

"The day after tomorrow," Shen Huai thought for a while, "There are a lot of things going on here that day, maybe I won't be able to accompany A Xiao there, but this spring and Xiao Wu will accompany you?"

Ji Xiao nodded, "It's not important at all, I'll go and have a look, and I'll be back soon."

He lowered his head and took a bite of the bun skin, narrowing his eyes with a smile on his face. +

"In a while, Anyuan will ask someone to send over the ledger, together with the key to the warehouse, which will be kept by A Xiao from now on. Things like settling accounts are not too much now, but A Xiao will have to work hard in the future." Shen Huai looked sideways at Ji Xiao, saw his cheeks were pink, and smiled in his eyes.

"Okay, I will study hard." Ji Xiao nodded, looking serious, as if he was afraid that Shen Huai would feel that he was not safe enough, and assured him, "I have a good plan, Jin He can just rest assured."

His little figure looking for approval is really cute, and his soft pink fingertips are placed on the dark red tabletop, making him look even more attractive and beautiful.Shen Huai lowered his eyes, picked up Ji Xiao's hand, stroked it on his face, and said with a light smile, "Ah Xiao's hands are not only good at planning..."

A Yuan sat between the two of them, chewing the stuffing of the meat buns with a puffy face, looked up at Ji Xiao and Shen Huai's hands in a daze, couldn't understand what the two were talking about, so he just lowered his head It's beautiful to eat small wontons by yourself, squinting your eyes.

Ji Xiao blushed, knowing what Shen Huai was referring to.He gritted his teeth, and blocked Shen Huai's teasing for the first time, "You, if you do this again, this trick will only be used for one purpose."

Shen Huai froze for a moment, and immediately frowned. He still remembered how he played with these hands last night, making Ji Xiao blushed and stroking him back and forth.How could such an ecstasy taste be forgotten or thrown away?

However, he still laughed because Ji Xiao's temperament was not as submissive as before, "How dare I, A Xiao say that?" Rubbing the back of his hand lightly twice, "Ah Xiao's heart is harder than before..."

Shen Huai's actions were still ambiguous, Ji Xiao pursed his lips and blushed as before, knowing that he couldn't make trouble with Shen Huai's thick skin, so he simply lowered his head and just ate and stopped talking, but his heart was always sweet no matter what.

Not long after breakfast, someone delivered a bunch of ledgers, which were properly packed in wooden boxes.

Ji Xiao sat in the room and watched for an afternoon, sorted out the clues, and found some ways.Prince Ping's Mansion was first established, and many of its accounts were first-timers. This is troublesome, but in addition, the accounts of Prince Ping's Mansion are not too many, which is good.From now on, Ji Xiao will be in charge of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of hundreds of people in the huge mansion, there will be flower envoys everywhere, and careful planning is indispensable.

The feeling of autumn gradually became stronger, and with the door open, the cool breeze from the outside poured into the house in bursts.

Ji Xiao put down the ledger, rubbed his cold fingertips, got up to see A Yuan who was sleeping here at noon.

A Yuan had already changed into a slightly thicker autumn look. At this time, Anan was covered with a small quilt, with his hands clenched into fists on both sides of his head, snoring softly.

Seeing his belly rising and falling like a watermelon, Ji Xiao couldn't help reaching out and poking A Yuan's belly lightly.

Sure enough, it was soft, and he flicked his fingers back.A Yuan mumbled a few times, then opened his eyes.Yuan Teng Deng looked at him in black water.

Ji Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but he woke up unexpectedly.He quickly wrapped A Yuan in a quilt and picked him up, put him in his arms and patted his back lightly, and coaxed him in a low voice, "It's Daddy's fault, did you make trouble with A Yuan? Don't be afraid, A Yuan, sleep a little longer .”

A Yuan yawned, but he didn't want to go back to sleep. He put his face on Ji Xiao's shoulder, moved his mouth with the sound of milk, and then stopped after two babbles.

Ji Xiao carried the lazy A Yuan to the door, and saw a group of little girls busy in the kitchen passing through the yard, their hands full.When they saw Ji Xiao, they quickly stopped and saluted him respectfully.

"What are these?" Ji Xiao asked, and A Yuan slowly turned his head, looking at the things in their hands, his small eyelids drooping.

"It's the ingredients for making hot pot," the leading little girl stood up and responded, "My lord has ordered me to eat hot pot tonight. I have carefully prepared everything I and the young master like to eat."

A little girl standing at the end raised a fresh fish in her hand at this time, and said, "I love fish, today I specially picked the tender meat with less thorns, and put it in the hot pot later, don't worry about it." Delicious."

Ji Xiao took a look at the fish that he usually likes to eat, but for some reason he couldn't remember the delicious taste, only the smell of fish.His face froze, and his brows furrowed.

The little girls thought they had said something wrong, so they quickly stopped, lowered their heads tightly, and anxiously waited for Ji Xiao to speak.

Ji Xiao regained his composure for a moment, and said, "Don't prepare the fish." Thinking of the fishy smell going into the hot pot, he felt uncomfortable right now.

The little girl didn't understand why, but she didn't dare to refute Ji Xiao's meaning, so she nodded and retreated to the kitchen.

A Yuan showed a white and tender arm, which was lying on Ji Xiao's shoulder at this time. Ji Xiao stretched out his hand to touch it, and felt it was cold. Are you going to change clothes?"

"No..." A Yuan grabbed Ji Xiao's lapel, coquettishly, "Father, hug... hug A Yuan."

Ji Xiao has always been hard on A Yuan, and at this moment, he also carried A Yuan back and forth in the yard twice, until the little guy fell asleep in his arms again, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and put A Yuan on his back. Put it back in the crib.

A Yuan is obedient and caring, Ji Xiao sat on the edge of the bed and stared at A Yuan for a while, feeling more at ease.

Except that the taste seems to have changed a little, and eating is a little uncomfortable, Ji Xiao consciously can't say anything unhappy recently.
