Has Marquis Anping been beaten today?

In an elegant small courtyard, the sunlight crossed the high wall and leisurely sprinkled on the orchid bushes watered with spiritual power, making the courtyard full of fragrance.

From time to time, there were slight noises in the house, causing a ray of sunlight to sneak up on the slightly open window, and along the thumb-wide gap, looked curiously at the scene inside the house.

One person stood by the desk, and opposite him stood a paper figurine that was half black and half white, with a red turban tied on its head.

"Little brother, you've eaten a lot of sweets, and you really can't eat any more." Watching helplessly as the bulging oil paper bag placed by Jiang Jingyun's hand was drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye, he hurriedly stopped it.

Jiang Jingyun turned a deaf ear to it, but the movements of his hands were a little faster, and he put the half of the lotus root flower cake into his mouth without saying a word, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Be careful to see the situation immediately, heartbroken, and said pitifully: "It's over, when the big baby comes back, he will definitely scold him."

"Little brother, you really can't eat anymore, the big baby will beat the cubs into paper figurines." If the paper figurines could cry, they would probably have as much tears as half a bucket of water now.

Only then did Jiang Jingyun seem to hear the sound of the careful stick, looked down at it, and then looked at the sweet and delicious pastry in his hand, pondered for a moment, grabbed a small piece of mung bean and ate it with relish.

After five years in office, Xie Fan passed the throne to Xie Ci, and Jiang Jingyun also completely let go of the burden of the Xuanhu Camp, and retired together with Xie Fan.

The two chose to settle down in Gusu for the time being, and chose a quiet mountain forest to buy a house. This is their third year of seclusion.

It's just that no matter how good the relationship is, there will occasionally be a little friction between the two.

Just like now.

In the past, Jiang Jingyun had three yuan worth of sweets, but after all these years, there is only one piece left, and most of them are not good enough.

Xie Yan used to make Yulu bayberry cake every now and then, but now he makes it once a month and only makes one piece at a time.

Jiang Jingyun already loves sweets, and he used to be able to divert his attention when he was busy, but now that he is free and has nothing to do, he will naturally think about it.

But Xie Wen is really determined not to let Jiang Jingyun eat more sweets, no matter how much he protests, he will not be moved.

Last night, the people at the bottom of the mountain asked Xie An to remove the evil spirits, because it was cold at night, Xie Yan let Jiang Jingyun stay at home alone, everyone walked halfway, turned back and dropped the careful pole, saying that he let Jiang Jingyun relieve boredom.But the deep meaning inside is tacitly shared by both of them.

How could Jiang Jingyun put caution in his eyes.Early this morning, I took an excuse to buy vegetables and wandered around the town, and I bought all the vegetables, as well as all kinds of pastries.

Jiang Jingyun felt that the Beacon was too noisy, so he simply cast a curse on it, and while eating the cake, he looked at the ancient book in his hand with great interest.

The room was quiet, only the faint sounds of paper flipping and food chewing intertwined from time to time.

Suddenly, Jiang Jingyun flicked his hand while flipping the book, and his gaze shifted from the book to his careful face, his brows furrowed indistinctly, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the piece of golden chestnut cake left in the paper bag by his hand. .

Outside the window, the bird that was originally perched on the branch and proudly showing off its feathers with its companions squeaked, flapped its wings and left.

"Second brother, I'm back."

A gentle voice came from outside the door.

In a blink of an eye, the chestnut cake that was still lying on the table appeared inexplicably in Xiaoxiao's mouth, and the small half was still exposed, trembling and dusty.

And Xiaogan sat on the ground blankly, with his back leaning against the foot of the stool, the red scarf tied on his head drooping down, covering one eye, staring at Jiang Jingyun with the only big black eye, The slightly deflated big mouth moved slightly.

"What's the matter?" Xie Fan saw this strange scene as soon as he came in, his eyes stayed on the pastry stuffed in Xingan's mouth, and then he glanced at Jiang Jingyun who was sitting on a chair and concentrating on reading a book, He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows.

"It's disobedient." Jiang Jingyun met Xie Fan's gaze, without changing his face, and there was no trace of guilt in his words, "Guard yourself and steal."

If Xie Fan hadn't seen the pastry crumbs on the corner of Jiang Jingyun's mouth, he would really believe what Jiang Jingyun said was true.After all, he never imagined that the head coach of Xuanhu Camp, who has been powerful for many years, would do such a thing as "framing" for sweets.

And the victim was a paper figurine.

Xie Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't want to expose him carefully, so he could only follow his words and say: "It guards itself and steals itself, how does the second brother plan to punish it?"

Jiang Jingyun paused, looking at Xie Fan with more doubts in his eyes, Xie Fan would believe such a lame excuse?

"How does Second Brother plan to punish it?" Seeing that Jiang Jingyun was silent, Xie Fan had no choice but to ask again, "Should I punish it for washing clothes? Or set fire to cook?"

This time he was answered by the sound of a chair falling to the ground.

Be careful and keep shaking your head at Xie Wen, big baby, you can't let Zai Zai take the blame and shed tears!

"It's all right." Jiang Jingyun nodded, with a "gentle and casual" expression.

"That's all right, be careful and come with me to help in the kitchen." Xie Wen smiled, seemingly unintentionally, "But fortunately, be careful not to hurt your teeth when you eat sweets, and it saves me from making medicine. Second brother today What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"Braised pork knuckle, do you want it?" Xie Wen asked, "The one I bought a few days ago was still frozen in the ice cellar, and the fellow gave me some potatoes, which are just right for stewing together."

Jiang Jingyun said: "Okay."

In the life of the two of them, Xie knows how to cook all the time.Before that, Jiang Jingyun also wanted to let Xie Wen rest, but when he saw that the money was spent on mending pots or changing pots every now and then, Jiang Jingyun silently left the kitchen. After all, no amount of money could afford such extravagance.

Since then, Jiang Jingyun's monthly payment to Xie Fan has doubled again.

Today's dishes are very rich, including braised pork knuckle, stir-fried pork liver, red oil cowpea, garlic eggplant, and even the only light tofu soup has a thin layer of red oil floating on it.

Jiang Jingyun wandered around in the air with the chopsticks and then put them back, a faint sigh escaped from his lips.He didn't like spicy food at first, but Xie Fan's taste was rather strong, and the two of them got along with each other for a long time, and they gradually became able to eat a little bit.

In order to take Jiang Jingyun into consideration, Xie Fan had one or two light dishes for each meal, but today the only light soup had chili oil.

In order not to let Xie Yan see the clue, Jiang Jingyun gritted his back molars, picked up the chopsticks again, picked up an eggplant and brought it to his mouth.

But as soon as he smelled the offensive smell on the eggplant, he looked down at the chili powder on the minced garlic, and his gums, which were already faintly aching, fell down like a huge wave whipped up by a strong wind. The chopsticks in his hand lost their grip and fell to the table with a thud.

Jiang Jingyun wanted to rub his cheeks with his hands to relieve the pain, but just as he moved his hands, he remembered that Xie Yan was still facing him, so he could only shrink back calmly.However, the moment he withdrew his hand, there was a warm touch on his face, and he was gently kneading.

Jiang Jingyun looked at Xie Fan in astonishment.

Xie Yan took out a bowl of black concoction from behind and put it on the table as if by magic.

The strong taste made Jiang Jingyun's expression change, and he subconsciously wanted to run away.

Xie Yan sighed helplessly, the hand that was originally on Jiang Jingyun's face was instead wrapped around his shoulders, and he pressed him on the stool with a little force, dispelling his idea of ​​running away.

Xie Yan first gulped the medicine himself, then covered Jiang Jingyun's lips, and fed him mouth to mouth.

Jiang Jingyun didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry, his fair cheeks had a seductive blush, his eyes glistened, and he stared at Xie Fan: "You did it on purpose."

"Second brother also did it on purpose." Xie Fan kissed the corner of Jiang Jingyun's mouth again, his voice a little hoarse, "It's not that I don't let my second brother eat sweets, I'm just afraid. A while ago, my second brother lost a lot of weight because of toothache, and his whole body I'm not in good spirits either. I swore to Xie Jiaojiao before that I would take good care of my second brother, but I didn't."

"Second brother, if I can bear the pain for you, I wish I could make delicious food for you every day. I just want you to be well."

No matter how thick-skinned Jiang Jingyun was, he couldn't help but deny it when he knew he was wrong.After all these years, Xie Fan is the only one who treats him wholeheartedly and takes care of him in every detail.Obviously he is ten years older than Xie Fan, but now it's the other way around, every time Xie Fan is accommodating him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyun sighed softly, what else can he do, no matter how much he likes sweets, he can't compare to the person in front of him.

Jiang Jingyun took the initiative to hold Xie Fan's hand, and slowed down his voice: "Okay, I will listen to you from now on, and don't eat too much."

"Really?" Xie Fan heard the words, his eyes lit up.

Looking at his silly appearance, Jiang Jingyun couldn't help laughing: "Yes."

"In the past few days, let's continue to cook some lean meat porridge. There is also that medicine, which has to be boiled."

Jiang Jingyun raised his head and placed a light kiss on Xie Wen's lips, saying: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Xie Fan chuckled, held Jiang Jingyun's face in his hands, and kissed it like raindrops.

Xie Yan returned to the kitchen and brought the lean meat porridge that had been simmering on the stove, holding a letter in his hand.

While drinking porridge, Jiang Jingyun listened to Xie Fan read him a letter.

"Uncle, aunt──!" Xie Fan got stuck before he could read a few words, staring at the title of himself on the letter, "Aunt?! This Xie Jiaojiao, what's going on? I still know it before. Call me brother a few times, why don't you call me brother now?"

"Is it wrong?" Jiang Jingyun asked, "Didn't you go to the gate of the palace and say you wanted to marry me back then?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xie Fan hurriedly put away his dissatisfaction, and his head was pounding, "What the second elder brother said is very reasonable, Jiaojiao is indeed calling my aunt."

Jiang Jingyun nodded slightly, lowered his head and continued to drink porridge.

Xie Fan tried his best to ignore that address, and tried his best to chant calmly: "The New Year is approaching, I have not seen you for a long time, I miss you so much, and I hope you two can go back to your hometown and reunite together."

"That's right, it's New Year's Eve." Xie Fan patted his head violently, "Second Brother, we haven't bought anything for the New Year yet."

Jiang Jingyun said: "Go back to Beijing for the New Year."

"Go...go back?" Xie Fan was slightly surprised, with a hesitant expression, "Jiaojiao, he..."

"What? Are you afraid that he will hit you?" Jiang Jingyun narrowly glanced at Xie Fan.

Xie Fan heard the words, his expression was slightly stagnant, thinking about how he tricked Xie Ci to become the emperor step by step, and Xie Ci's abuse of him when he left, he was really undecided for a while.

In fact, it's not because I'm afraid of thanking you, but mainly because of guilt.Although Xie Tingyuan's death was caused by Xie Tingxiu, it had something to do with him in the final analysis.So he wants to give this position to Xie Ci, which can be regarded as making up for it.

"Second brother, now I am his aunt, his elder." Xie Fan came back to his senses and chuckled, "If he hits me, can I accuse him of being unfilial? Then go and sue the clansmen?"

"Where did you put me?" Jiang Jingyun raised his eyebrows lightly.

Xie Fan was stunned, hugged Jiang Jingyun and kissed him hard, and said with a smile: "Then please trouble your husband to take care of me, a weak man."
