Do you still want it, son?

"A Yuan," Ji Xiao frowned.

Seeing this, Bajiao quickly chased after him in two steps and bent down to fish A Yuan back.

Ah Yuan struggled with his limbs, his eyes stared fiercely, as if he was about to eat the star anise with his mouth.

"Don't go, don't go, young master," Bajiao spoke softly to comfort her frequently, but it didn't seem to be of any use. A Yuan made up his mind to go outside, writhing like a nimble little loach.

However, with the few steps before Ji Xiao, A Yuan almost broke free several times.

"A Yuan," Ji Xiao's tone sank, with a trace of displeasure.

A Yuan stopped moving, and looked at Ji Miao with some doubts, not understanding what was wrong.

Seeing that he had calmed down a bit, Bajiao carefully put A Yuan on the ground.Let him sway forward into Ji Xiao's arms.

"Father, okay," A Yuan leaned on Ji Xiao's knee, tilted his fat face to look at his expression, and sweetly flattered him.

Shen Huai put his hand on Ji Xiao's shoulder, saw him thinking, and asked, "A Xiao, what's wrong?"

Ji Xiao rubbed his head, turned back to Shen Huai helplessly and said, "It's nothing else, but that little girl reminded me of A Yuan from before." He paused, under Shen Huai's puzzled eyes He explained, "In the past, A Yuan's temperament was not as outgoing as it is now. I'm afraid he just followed me. He was a bit of a crybaby and timid, and he only coaxed him when he grew up a little later. He slowly came over when he met you again. Be pampered like this now."

Ji Xiao understood very well that although Shen Huai wanted to spank A Yuan's ass from time to time, in terms of pampering A Yuan, he was much better than himself.

Human nature is raised according to the environment, Ji Xiao sighed, "That little girl is a poor child."

"Ah Xiao is kind," Shen Huai said in his heart, he still sighed a little when he talked about A Yuan, but for the rest he had to show more sympathy, but he didn't.

into the night.

Pingyang City has gradually become the center of exchanges between the southern lands, and the influx of people in the city is enough to make Pingyang City upside down day and night, and it is constantly bustling.

Ji Xiao and Shen Huai sat in the carriage, taking in the lively street scene through the window.The carriage set off from the gate of Prince Ping's Mansion, and it took about two quarters of an hour. There were more and more pedestrians on the road, and it was difficult for the carriage to move forward after a while.

Shen Huai got out of the carriage and jumped to the ground, then turned around and reached out to help Ji Xiao out.The car couldn't move forward, and they had to walk the rest of the way by themselves.

There are lights and festoons on both sides of the road, and the shops that were closed in the evening are still open and bustling with people.Ding Xiang and Ba Jiao walked in front this spring, and the guards surrounded them either openly or secretly, leaving enough space for the people in the middle to isolate Shen Huai and Ji Xiao from the crowd outside.

Shen Huai lowered his head and smiled at Ji Xiao, "Sure enough, it's much more lively than before. I heard that there are a lot of interesting things along the way. Let's take a look at it slowly?"

The smile on Ji Xiao's face could not be stopped, and he nodded in agreement.

Shen Huai stretched out his hand to hold Ji Xiao's hand tightly, and talked closely with him without hesitation.

There is a continuous sound of music coming from the tiles in Goulan, touching people's hearts softly and gently.

An Yuan stood at the front and led the way, went up the steps and walked through the veranda, then turned up a few stairs, passing a lot of people having fun in the middle, and when they got to the second floor, the voices of people faded away, and there was no one on the whole floor. The lights are shining brightly.

Seeing someone coming up, the servant girl standing on the side immediately backed away in small steps. After she was out of everyone's sight, she quickly turned around and ran downstairs, telling the person who could sing a little song that the person who came up to serve had gone.

There is a corridor on the second floor to the outside, which has a good view, and can have a panoramic view of the street scene on the main street below.Looking down, the lights and brilliance are really beautiful.

Shen Huai hugged Ji Xiao from behind.

"It's a pity I didn't bring A Yuan here," Ji Xiao turned his head to Shen Huai and said.

"That little bug doesn't know how to look at these beautiful things." Shen Huai stretched out his hand to explore Ji Xiao's shoulder, and then stroked it down to hold his fingertips, feeling a little cold.

"Bring a coat." Shen Huai ordered.

Catecha immediately presented a coat and sent it with his head down.

Ji Xiao put on a sauce-red robe, his face became more white and tender, and he stood silently with his eyes down, which was a beautiful scene.

Now the whole person is his own.

The joy in Shen Huai's heart rushed up like boiling water bubbling, he used his back to block the possible sight of the people behind him, and from the corner of his eye the crowd coming and going downstairs, he opened his mouth and hooked Ji Xiao's tongue Dangling, tsk tsk sucking and kissing.

Ji Xiao didn't expect Shen Huai to be so bold, at first he was a little shy, he turned his head to hide, but Shen Huai held his head and fixed it on the spot, there was no way to hide, and he felt numb.He also had no choice but to hold back his shyness, and carelessly catered to Shen Huai's movements.

It took more than a quarter of an hour before Shen Huai stopped the movement of his mouth, touched Ji Xiao's with the center of his forehead, and laughed hoarsely, "A Xiao is quite reluctant to let go outside, but it's not interesting."

Ji Xiao blushed and lowered his head, pretending not to hear clearly, and let Shen Huai tighten the robe on his body for him.

There was some noise outside at this time, the singer and dancer walked up to the second floor one after another holding a pipa and holding a piano.

Ji Xiao tilted his head to look, stretched out his hand to push Shen Huai, and said, "Someone is coming up."

Shen Huai only hugged Ji Xiao's waist, lowered his head and smiled, "I don't want to pay any attention to them at this moment, I just got excited when I came out, I just want to kiss A Xiao's other places again."

In other places, what is said here is vague, but it just makes people daydream.Shen Huai kissed many other places on weekdays, little by little, and there was no place where Ji Xiao's soft tofu-like body was not bullied by him.Even the translucent, pink, and red feet were held in his hands, holding his toes in his hands so that he could play with them.

"Ah Xiao, do you want to, eh?" Seeing that Ji Xiao didn't agree, he even lowered his head and whispered in his ear.

Ji Xiao finally became annoyed, stretched out his hand and pushed Shen Huai's face away forcefully, and got out of his arms, "You won't spend all night on it."

"How about this?" Shen Huai walked forward behind Ji Xiao indifferently, and said with a smile, "I think the matter with A Xiao is the most interesting thing in the world."

Ji Xiao wished he could get into the ground.

Everyone was silent, as if they couldn't understand.

Seeing the two of them entering the room, the singer and dancer immediately put on a posture and plucked the strings. Her dancing posture was soft and her voice was like a weeping song.

The little song sang about love and hatred between men and women, joys and sorrows, and Ji Xiao's attention was caught in just two lines.Another person walked in slowly outside with snacks, and did not leave after putting them down.Instead, he took the initiative to pour wine, which meant to drink with him.

"The two young masters are looking at you, are you here to do business in the city?" The girl serving wine looked tender, but when she spoke, she was very round.

Shen Huai's eyes all fell on Ji Xiao in a daze, and he didn't intend to pay any attention to her.

Seeing that she took the initiative to talk, Ji Xiao felt that it would be embarrassing for others, so he responded casually, "I'm not a businessman, I just don't go out much."

The girl brought two wine glasses to Ji Xiao and Shen Huai, and said with a soft smile, "This wine is clear and delicious, and I invite you two to taste it."

Although Ji Xiao made his own wine, he seldom drank it. Now that he still has a piece of meat in his stomach, he doesn't drink it anymore.

But Shen Huai, Ji Xiao reached out to take a glass of wine and turned to ask, "Jin He, do you want some wine?"

There are many appetizers in the side snacks, which are delicious in color, fragrance, and mouth-watering.

Shen Huai squeezed his wrist, brought the wine glass in front of him, and drank it in one gulp, with a smile in his eyes, "Ah Xiao feed me?"

Seeing this, the girl showed a clear expression, raised her hand to fill a glass of wine, and then softly retreated and left the room.After a while, a thin man slowly walked up to the second floor. His face was clear and beautiful, with a touch of outstanding beauty.

The man walked up to Ji Xiao and Shen Huai, and his voice was even clearer, "If you two are interested, may I sing you a song?"

Ji Xiao didn't feel something was wrong, and asked, "What can you sing?"

With a smile on his face, the man said, "I will sing whatever you want to hear, my lord."

How could Shen Huai not know what kind of posture this was, he frowned, "You are not needed here, go down."

The man breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Shen Huai carefully, and said hesitantly, "Singing and dancing are both suitable, if you have other interests, young master... the three of them are quite interesting together."

While speaking, he looked at Ji Xiao from the corner of his eyes, the desire in his eyes flashed, but was captured by Shen Huai's eyes, and he was furious for a moment, if he hadn't been worried about Ji Xiao, he might have slapped him to death.

Ji Xiao still looked at him in confusion, not quite understanding what this man meant.

Shen Huai patted the table vigorously, and cursed angrily, "An Yuan, who are these people?"

Still want to get his hands on A Xiao?It's really a cat that doesn't think it has too much life.

An Yuan stepped forward quickly, repelled the people, and bent down to confess, "I just said to let them make some interesting tricks, but I don't know that they do all these things... I'm afraid it's because people outside play a lot Yes, I also thought it tasted like this here, and it was because I didn’t arrange it properly.”

The room that was originally surrounded by Yingying was suddenly empty and silent.

Ji Xiao was a little confused, and when An Yuan retreated, he asked Shen Huai in a low voice, "What happened just now?"

"It's okay." Shen Huai stretched out his hand to touch Ji Xiao's face, suppressed his anger and only kept the man in his heart, not wanting to let Ji Xiao worry about it, so he changed the subject, "A Xiao eats little at night. What do you want to eat?"

Ji Xiao shook his head, "The things I want to eat are not in season, and I'm not too hungry, so I don't want to eat."

"Inappropriate?" Shen Huai leaned closer and put Ji Xiao's lips in his mouth, licked it, it was as sweet as honey, and suppressed most of the vinegar smell just now, "As long as you don't want to eat dragon meat, what's inappropriate? "

Ji Xiao was still overly considerate of the rules, not coquettish at all, which was not good in Shen Huai's opinion.

Ji Xiao laughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "I don't have anything else I want to eat, I just want to eat a bowl of hot and sour tofu flower, I'm afraid I don't have it right now, wait until tomorrow morning."

"It turned out to be bean curd." Shen Huai kissed Ji Xiao's face again, and said with a clear smile, "A Xiao is so stupid, it's just a bowl of bean curd, why do we have to wait until tomorrow morning? If it really comes tomorrow morning, maybe the taste will be different again." changed."

This is true, Ji Xiao's tastes are different from moment to moment recently, and what he wants to eat now may change after half an hour.

The guard at the side got Shen Huai's order to turn over and jump down from the second floor, and ran into the vast night.

Another batch of singers came up, this time an elderly middle-aged woman came up, she was holding a pipa, her face looked tired, she didn't say anything else, she just sat down and played and sang silently.

As soon as he spoke, it was the tone of Hangzhou, and the dialect was soft and melancholy.

At first, it sang the joy and sweetness of a man and woman when they first met, and the lyrics changed to the melancholy of seeing each other and wanting to leave, and the pain of getting old and fading and losing their appearance. The long and short are intertwined, which makes people feel sad.

Shen Huai heard half of it, but saw that Ji Xiao was immersed in it, and his complexion was not as good as before.

"A Xiao?" He asked, and then smiled to think about Ji Xiao's thoughts, "Why are you listening so engrossed?"

Ji Xiao came back to his senses, looked at Shen Huai and said, "She sang very well. I wonder if it's her own experience. Without her beauty, does she really lose her true feelings?"

"Nonsense," Shen Huai stretched out his hand to touch Ji Xiao's face, but he froze when he stretched halfway, afraid that Ji Xiao would feel that he was lingering on his face too much.He coughed dryly, and used his own example cheekily, "Does A Xiao think I look good?"

Ji Xiao didn't understand why Shen Huai asked the question, but he nodded sincerely, and finally felt that it wasn't enough, so he praised, "Jin He is very good-looking."

Shen Huai's face turned pale, "Then A Xiao will leave me because I'm getting old and ugly?"

Ji Xiao thought for a while, and didn't know how to answer for a while, but Shen Huai was terrified. He held Ji Xiao's hand tightly, and asked with staring eyes, "Ah Xiao doesn't like me anymore!?"

Seeing that his mood had changed, Ji Xiao quickly stretched out his hand to caress Shen Huai's heart, and comforted him repeatedly, "No, no, Jin He has become ugly, and I like you too."

Shen Huai, on the other hand, was concerned because he didn't answer immediately, he was half-believing on his face, but full of disbelief in his heart, he wished someone could find a mirror right away, count the wrinkles in front of him, and count the wrinkles on his face with this picture. How many years can Ji Xiao's face be hooked.

"I don't like A Xiao because of A Xiao's face," Shen Huai hugged Ji Xiao with some resentment, "I like A Xiao because A Xiao is good everywhere," he whispered and leaned over to hug Ji Xiao. Ji Xiao whispered in his ear, "Ah Xiao snored last night, and I liked it too."

Ji Xiao was startled, his face flushed suddenly, he couldn't believe it, "I, I snored yesterday, I didn't know."

The guard who had just left turned over and came in at this time, and gave Shen Huai a little signal.

"It's also the first time I've heard it." Shen Huai got up, took Ji Xiao's hand, and led him out, "Your body is not as good as before. Whether this snoring is you or the one in your stomach, you can't tell."

When Shen Huai said this, Ji Xiao was relieved a lot.He stroked his lower abdomen, pursed his lips and smiled, "Maybe so."

Jinchun and a group of maids walked out behind them, and when they passed by the singer just now, Jinchun took out a silver ingot from his bosom as a reward.

Douhua is not difficult to find, just ask the tofu maker to start work early.

Ji Xiao ate a meat bun with a bowl of hot and sour bean curd, Shen Huai was overjoyed, and asked people to get all the tofu and buns into the kitchen of Prince Ping's mansion, waiting for when Ji Xiao would like to Just eat it and make it for him at any time.

When they turned back to Prince Ping's Mansion, the moon had almost risen to the middle of the sky, brightly illuminating a piece of the land.

A Yuan had already fallen asleep and was carried back to his own room by Bajiao.Seeing Ji Xiao come back at this time, he hurriedly followed into the main house, and stood outside waiting for the summons from inside.

Fortunately, when the candlelight in the main house dimmed, there was no need for her, Bajiao let out a long sigh of relief, went back to A Yuan's room, and slept lightly outside until dawn.

A Yuan got up early in the morning, and asked Bajiao to change into his exercise clothes, and then ran to the main room in a hurry, tiptoed to the edge of the bed, and looked at Ji Xiao who was sleeping in the tent.

Shen Huai reached out to hug him and kissed him, and said in a low voice, "Don't disturb A Xiao to sleep."

A Yuan wrapped his arms around Shen Huai's neck, and didn't mind who was holding it, he just raised his head and kissed him on the face, saying, "Let's go, let's go."

After returning from the training ground, A Yuan also shed some sweat, but when he got back to the main courtyard, he didn't think it was enough, so he and Xiao Hei ran around in the courtyard like having fun.

Shen Huai went to the room to see Ji Xiao, saw that he was still in a deep sleep, so he didn't wake him up, but let the people in the kitchen wait for him to wake up at any time to deliver breakfast, while he went to the outer courtyard to handle business.

A Yuan is not restrained by his two fathers, and he is unwilling to sit at the table to eat in a proper manner.He put a white bun into his mouth with one hand, and handed the other to Xiao Hei with the other.Xiao Hei squatted on the ground obediently with A Yuan, and the two cubs were eating vigorously.

Bajiao stood on the side, holding a bowl of porridge in her hand, whenever A Yuan raised her head, she would lean over to feed him, and after a while, she got to the bottom of it.

A Yuan patted his stomach, and then Xiao Hei's, and was about to stand up feeling satisfied, when he heard another sharp cry from a distance, which made his scalp explode.A Yuan hurriedly wanted to stand up, but he didn't want his feet to slip, so he squatted on the ground.

Bajiao went to the kitchen at this time, but the little girl beside him didn't dare to help, so he had to be anxious.A Yuan didn't care, stood up with his hands on the ground, reached out and patted his butt, and ran quickly to the crying place.

The door of the third girl's room was tightly closed, and crying came from inside.

A Yuan's footsteps stopped in front of the door, and then he reached out and pushed hard, but he didn't push.

"Go!" He looked back at the little girl who was following, and instructed loudly.

The little girl didn't dare to be negligent, so she quickly stepped forward and pushed the door open.A Yuan straddled the threshold with difficulty and entered the room.

It was the same little girl from yesterday, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, her nose and tears covered her face from crying.She suddenly saw the door open, and A Yuan was followed by a group of girls, all of whom were unfamiliar faces. She was even more frightened for a moment, crying out of breath, as if she was going to be convulsed to death in the next moment.

Feeling puzzled, A Yuan quickly ran over to support the edge of the bed, and raised his head to persuade her, "Don't cry."

What are you crying for? What is there to cry about?A Yuan remembered that she was crying when he saw this little girl twice, and he really didn't know what was worth crying like this repeatedly.

The little girl shrank back in fear, and the crying person was afraid that she would faint to death in the next moment.

Seeing that it was useless to persuade him, Ah Yuan was a little discouraged. He thought for a while, took out a small wooden carved bird from his arms, and handed it over, "Here, here."

A Yuan was not the only one who was alarmed by this sound. Catech ran out of the main house in a hurry and ran all the way to the door of this room, anxious and annoyed, "What's the matter, is it so noisy every day?"

Bajiao has already hugged the little girl in her arms and coaxed the little girl, seeing Catecha getting angry, she also felt very helpless, "No matter how coaxed this is, I still cry..."

While talking, the little girl's mother hurried over from the kitchen, saw the situation and repeatedly accused the little girl, approached and grabbed the little girl, with tears on her face, stretched out her hand and slapped the little girl's buttocks several times, and then slapped the little girl again Stuffed her head into his arms to prevent the crying of the little girl from being heard.

A Yuan watched with a dull face, not knowing how to react.

The muffled sound of the spanking reminded him of the time when he spanked his father.

"Why are you still living in the inner courtyard?" Catech frowned, "Who arranged it?"

A little girl at the side stood up hesitantly, "There are too many people in the kitchen now, and we have to guard against Madam's appetite, so we all stay close and wait..."

"You take the child to live in the outer courtyard, don't turn this kindness into a disaster." Catech told the cook.

The cook nodded quickly, and was about to take the little girl to kneel down to thank her, but was stopped by Catech, and said, "Thank me for what I did, and if I want to thank Mrs. Xie for being kind," she paused, and said, "It's just that Mrs. You can’t go there either, just keep this thought in your heart.”

Logically speaking, it is not easy for this cook to bring children into the mansion, but she is indeed good at cooking, and she is a single woman with children, so she went to report to Ji Xiao, and he agreed, But I don't want to be in trouble now.

Catechu stopped the little girl's crying, and was returning to the main house, only to find that Ji Xiao had already put on his shoes and socks under Lilac's service.

When Ding Xiang saw Catecha, she also looked a little worried, "Why are you so troublesome, crying every day?"

Catecha showed helplessness, "I've already let you live in the outer courtyard, so I won't be disturbed here." She looked at Ji Xiao's expression again, "My lord slept well yesterday."

Seeing their worried faces, Ji Xiao laughed, "It's nothing, it's time to wake up anyway."

"It's just luck for the prince to go out." Catecha complained, "If it wasn't for the fact that the dishes she cooks these days are really to your taste, I would have asked someone to drive them out just now. I just hope There will be no twists and turns in the future."

It is impossible to say such words, and I hope that there will be no twists and turns, and the twists and turns will come in a blink of an eye.

Shen Huai was busy with work, so he didn't come back to have dinner with Ji Xiao for the first time.Ji Xiao accompanied A Yuan to eat, saw that his face was full of rice grains, smiled and stretched out his hand to dial it for him, and a guard came outside in a hurry, knelt down on the ground and reported, "Ma'am, there are people outside who are making a fuss. , said that he wanted to meet a cook in your yard, and at this moment he was sitting outside with a dozen people, refusing to eat."

Ji Xiao was very surprised, "A cook?"

The guard lowered his head, "He said it was his wife who lost her temper and left the house with her daughter, and now he is here to find her."

This long-term trifle is the most troublesome when it comes to trouble.The truth is unclear, everyone has their own way of speaking.

"Bring people in, let the others stay outside and wait." Ji Xiao thought for a while, then turned his head and ordered Catech, "Let the cook come over and explain the matter clearly."

Catecha led the order, and after a while, everyone gathered in the yard.
