Bandit Reborn

Li Huaixi slept in the Lin Mansion for an afternoon. When he woke up, Lin Yichen hadn't come back. His fat cat was lying in the arms of a plump maid, squinting her eyes to take advantage of it. The other maid saw him wake up and hurried over to feed him I ordered some water, "There is freshly boiled almond milk, would you like some?"

Li Huaixi nodded, and the maid brought in a bowl of warm almond milk not long after she left, and Lin Yichen came back halfway through drinking it.

"Did my mother ask you to come here?" Lin Yichen took a sip of Li Huaixi's almond milk.

"Yes, my lord. Madam is worried, so I transferred two nannies from the big lord's courtyard. These milks are all fresh."

When Li Huaixi heard this, he looked at the milk in his hand in astonishment, and looked up at Lin Yichen. Lin Yichen nodded at him, and Li Huaixi's face collapsed immediately.

The remaining half bowl of milk, Li Huaixi raised his head and killed it. Human milk is human milk, anyway, he didn't suck it by himself.

After drinking the milk, the maid came over to help him put on his shoes, Lin Yichen waved his hand to let the maid back down, and came over to help Li Huaixi's little feet put on the shoes.

"Tomorrow, I'll have someone make you a pair of boots. These cotton shoes will get wet as soon as they touch the snow."

"No, spring will start soon after the fifteenth day, and I won't be able to wear it for a few days, and it's very hot." Li Huaixi didn't want to take advantage of this, his mother made his shoes by himself, and they fit perfectly.

"Then we'll do it when winter comes again. My grandma's courtyard has invited a troupe, do you want to go and watch it?" Lin Yichen just went out to work, and when he thought of a sweet-smelling little person sleeping on the bed, he felt warm in his heart. So when he came back, he spoke a lot softer, but unfortunately Li Huaixi didn't hear it at all, he was excited when he heard about the troupe.

"What kind of opera is the troupe singing? Literary opera or martial arts?" Li Huaixi has never appreciated this kind of real art live off the stage, although he doesn't know what kind of opera is sung here, whether it is like Huangmei opera or Beijing opera, but it is still a big family The theater troupe invited by others is not bad.

"There are both literary and martial arts. You can order it wherever you go. In the past, my grandma would let me order it. You can choose it yourself later, and I will order it for you." Lin Yichen picked up the cloak and covered Li Huaixi from head to toe, and hugged him stand up.

"I'll go by myself." Li Huaixi felt that he was not used to being blindfolded like this.

"It's snowing outside." Lin Yichen carried him out and got into the sedan chair, only showing his face in the sedan chair, "You are a little heavier than before, but you are still too light."

"Since my mother gave birth to my younger sister, I haven't eaten well. It's strange to be heavy." Li Huaixi rolled his eyes and complained.

"You don't like your sister?"

"Can you like an alien?" Li Huaixi then rolled his eyes.

"What are aliens?"

"It's the kind of person with a big head, arms and legs that look like sticks, and comes from another planet! My sister looks similar to that, do you like it?!" People in this era already have a certain understanding of astronomy , at least he doesn't think that all the shining things in the sky are gems, so Li Huaixi doesn't have to worry that the clever Lin Yichen won't understand.

Lin Yichen really understood, but he was not interested in illusory aliens, so he glanced sideways at Li Huaixi, Lin Yichen said with a smirk, "I think your description is too exaggerated, you must really dislike your sister, narrow-minded. "

Li Huaixi thought about it, he really didn't like his sister, even if she was good-looking, so he didn't say anything.

Lin Yichen touched his little head, remembering the first time he saw Li Huaixi at the county government office, the thin and small Li Huaixi was similar to the alien he described, but he liked it very much at first sight, and now I like it more and more. I like it so much that I wish I could steal it from the Li family and keep it by my side forever.

The two were silent for a while, each with their own concerns. The sedan chair stopped in front of a moon gate, where low-ranking servants were not allowed to enter. Lin Yichen got off the sedan chair with Li Huaixi in his arms, and a big maid came out to welcome them with an umbrella.

"My servant has seen the young master, and the old lady has reserved a place for you by her side. She was about to send someone to invite you, and you just happened to come."

The goose feather snow covered the sky, and the temperature was getting lower and lower. Lin Yichen strode into the courtyard with Li Huaixi in his arms, and when he walked to the corridor, he told the maid who followed, "No need to open an umbrella, find a smaller hand stove, hurry up." Just send it up to me."

The servant girl agreed and retreated, and Lin Yichen carried Li Huaixi, who was tightly covered, into the inner courtyard.

The gongs and drums were noisy in the inner courtyard. Li Huaixi could see from Lin Yichen's shoulder that a martial arts show was being staged on the stage, which looked more like a Beijing opera. Standing up to salute, Lin Yichen freed up a hand to signal them to sit down, and Li Huaixi quickly hugged the magistrate's neck tightly.

There was a mahogany couch in the middle of the second floor, and an old lady in her 60s was sitting there waving at Lin Yichen. Lin Yichen put Li Huaixi down, and dragged him upstairs to salute the old lady.

"Grandma, this is my little brother Li Huaixi. I brought him to watch a play with you."

The old lady asked the two of them to get up, and then said with a smile, "Oh, your mother told me last time that you abducted him to the mountain once, didn't you? This time you abducted him to the house again, you have to be careful My mother beat you, the county magistrate."

Lin Yichen hugged Li Huaixi and sat down beside the old lady with a smile, "I didn't kidnap him this time. I went to their house to pick him up this morning."

The old lady looked at Li Huaixi carefully, and said with a smile, "It's a cute little guy, he looks more beautiful than the New Year picture. It's New Year's Eve before the first lunar month, magpie, go and get two little golden scorpions for this little guy." Come on, let the below bring some hot milk up."

Li Huaixi is very satisfied with little Jin Kaizi, but he doesn't want to drink human milk anymore, so he secretly arched Lin Yichen's leg, Lin Yichen smiled and helped him out, "Grandma, he drank it when he came out just now, this little guy eats Like a cat, it can’t eat much, so it would be more considerate of him to give him a few more golden cocks.”

The old lady likes children, especially a cute child like Li Huaixi, so the old lady of the Lin family is very generous, "Hehe, okay, then give me some more! Little guy, call grandma, grandma will give you some more!" indivual."

"Grandma!" Li Huaixi was more generous, calling very simply.

After a while, the servant girl brought over a red brocade purse and a small wooden box. The old lady took out six small gold lockets from the wooden box and put them into the purse. He bowed and said a lot of auspicious words to make the old lady happy, and got another pair of little golden bells in a blink of an eye.

The corners of Lin Yichen's mouth twitched as he watched from the side. He had never seen Li Huaixi such a sycophant. When he gave Li Huaixi his jade pendant, this guy didn't even say thank you.

The county magistrate stretched out his hand and took Li Huaixi, who was reciting poems for the old lady, back into his arms, "Shut up your mouth, I can't hear anything sung on stage."

"Grandma asked me to recite it, didn't you, grandma?" Li Huaixi continued to grin his gaping teeth and pretend to be cute.

"Yes, the little guy recites it really well. The crisp one sounds better than the ones on stage. You should visit grandma often in the future. Grandma likes you."

"I like grandma too..."

"Shut up, you!" Lin Yichen strangled the little thing in his arms and covered his mouth.

Li Huaixi turned left and right twice in protest, thinking of Lin Yichen's things, he couldn't help grinding, so he moved his buttocks back, rubbed it twice, turned back and blinked at the county magistrate, the magistrate's face turned red instantly, Relax him a little bit.

There was a literary play about gifted scholars and beauties on the stage. Li Huaixi was attracted by the plot, so he calmed down and listened to the play carefully, but his play was heard intermittently. During the period, people kept coming upstairs to greet the magistrate. He was put down once, and after two times, he quit. He stayed on the sidelines and didn't want Lin Yichen to hug him again, but Lin Yichen didn't want to. The two secretly stared at each other, one wanted to hug, the other didn't want to hug him, you come and go face with running eyebrows.

"Yi Chen, Yi Chen? Grandma Zheng asked you something!" Lin Yichen's grandma knocked on her grandson through the small wooden table in the middle.

When Lin Yichen turned his head, he found that a chair had been added beside his grandma. An old lady was looking at him with a smile on her face. He also knew this old lady. She was from their family, the old lady of the Zheng Mansion.

"Grandma Zheng, you are here. I was fascinated by the play just now, please forgive me. What did you ask me just now?" Lin Yichen pretended to sit upright.

"Hehe, you've become an official and learned to speak in an official manner, don't you pretend to be stupid? I'm asking which lady you invited to watch the lantern with you tonight." Mrs. Zheng asked the magistrate with a smile.

"Ah? Hehe, Grandma Zheng, you..." Lin Yichen smiled awkwardly, and subconsciously turned his head to glance at Li Huaixi beside him.

Li Huaixi didn't look at him, and without his interference, he had a great time watching the play with the stove in his arms. Lin Yichen was a little unbalanced, and reached out to pinch his face. Li Huaixi turned his head and glanced at him, and continued watching the play.

On the other side, Grandma Zheng thought he was shy when she saw him like this, so she became more enthusiastic, "What's so embarrassing, you are almost an adult now, and it's time to discuss marriage at this time. Just tell Grandma Zheng that Grandma Zheng will protect the matchmaker for you."

"No hurry, no hurry, I just entered the official career, my foundation is not stable, and I don't think about the matter of men and women for the time being." After the embarrassment, Lin Yichen began to speak bureaucratically again.

"Hehe, you are not in a hurry, but some people are in a hurry. Look at the people who came to the theater today, how many of them really came to the theater, and they are all here to see you." Grandma Zheng had a loud voice. As soon as the words came out, several tea drinkers choked.

Li Huaixi also heard these words, turned his head and glanced at Lin Yichen, and then looked upstairs and downstairs, he suddenly lost the fun of listening to the opera, jumped off the wooden couch, bent down to salute Lin's grandma, Li Huaixi held the hand stove Turn around and go downstairs.

"Why are you going?" Lin Yichen grabbed him.

"I'm going to find my cat."

"If you can't sit still, you can't sit still." Lin Yichen also stood up, "Grandma, I took him back, this little guy is very active, this martial arts is gone, he can't stay here anymore, then Let's go back now. Grandma Zheng, it's rare for you to come here, today's troupe sang well, please sit with my grandma for a while, and I will leave first." Lin Yichen was afraid of this Grandma Zheng.

"Aren't you free to attend the banquet tonight? Have something to eat before you go out. If you don't eat, you should think about you, my precious junior brother. He can't help being hungry." Grandma Lin said, leaning over and touching Li Huaixi's white and tender face.

"Understood, grandma." Lin Yichen greeted several elders next to him, picked up Li Huaixi, and went down the theater building as if running away. Grandma Zheng behind her laughed, and grandma Lin complained dissatisfiedly, "I'm a good little girl." Grandson, you told me to go away not long after you arrived..."

Li Huaixi's fat cat stayed on Lin Yichen's bed and didn't go anywhere. When Li Huaixi came back and yawned with his mouth open, Lin Yichen smiled and scratched Li Huaixi's little nose, "I brought a cat with me, you are not afraid of it Ran."

"It doesn't run away, as long as there is food, it is more loyal than a dog." Li Huaixi broke away from Lin Yichen's arms, climbed onto the bed and played boxing with his fat cat. Both legs are also used.

"Would you like to eat something now or come back to eat? I will put the finishing touches on the dragon first, and then I will host the lantern riddles meeting. Although there will definitely be pastries for the ones below, it's freezing outside and it's uncomfortable to eat." , why don't you eat some at home first?" Lin Yichen sat on the edge of the bed and asked him.

"I'm not hungry, will the lantern riddle meeting be long?" Li Huaixi was still playing with his cat, without even turning his head.

"It won't be too long. It's just a few riddles. Make a few simple ones to encourage everyone, and make a few unpredictable ones for smart people to express. It will take about half an hour. When I'm done, I'll take You go to see the lamps, the lamps of the common people are more interesting than the lamps of the government." Lin Yichen said while poking his head to see Li Huaixi's expression, listening to the voice, he felt that the little guy seemed a little unhappy.

"Just take me?" Li Huaixi still didn't look back, and turned around to avoid Lin Yichen's harassment.

Lin Yichen understood why Li Huaixi was angry, laughed and threw him on the bed, pointing at Li Huaixi's little nose and laughing, "I'll take you one, cheapskate!"
