Kaolin Flower Raiders Guide

After Ning Huai left, the empty courtyard returned to calm.A few guards got rewards and were paid by Ning Huai to eat and have not come back yet, Xiao Yezi in the room fell into a drowsy sleep.Lu Xiao entered the room, wrapped himself in a cloak, and jumped to the roof in an instant. It was already midnight, and there was a bright moon hanging in the sky, and the stars shone on him.

It's been three months.

He hadn't seen Lu Xuehen for three months since he set off from Yunzhou, not counting the traces he heard from the prince.Since he was six years old, he has spent every day with this person, except for the few days when he devoted himself to writing articles in the academy, and the occasional overnight stay when he was on a job in the household department.

Although there is no blood relationship, there is brotherhood.

Even if it is a cat or dog, it will not be without feelings for ten years, let alone a person who gets along every day.

Lu Xiao's name fits him very well, he is unrestrained and unrestrained, and occasionally worries about some things, but worries take up very little time.Let nature take its course, the eight words of being safe with the situation seem to be engraved in his bones and blood.He can see everything, and because of this, most people's minds are transparent to him.

Since Lu Xuehen left, Lu Xiao had countless thoughts in his mind, and now he knew that he could not understand this brother for a moment.

It should be known that everyone in the world is walking the same road, joys and sorrows, birth, old age, sickness and death, only slightly different in the details.

Perhaps Lu Xuehen had already figured out which fork in the road to turn from the very beginning, but Lu Xiao was still rushing forward to the unknown, so when the two separated halfway, it seemed unacceptable to him.

It's not that he doesn't care, but he can't care too much.Lu Xiao often thought of Lu Xuehen, but she was not as furious as before.What did Qi Jiansi say, he has a clear conscience, why should he trap himself with a dead end.

No matter how ordinary a man is, there is always a decent ceremony presided over by the elders when he is an adult.Lu Xiao stopped treating herself as a young man a long time ago, and he has no elders.The child time has passed, and at this moment he is indeed an adult in terms of age, and the cumbersome ceremony has always been a matter of opinion, so he performed a small crown ceremony for himself in his heart.

There is no arrow to turn back when you open the bow, and people can't turn back.

The next fork in the road, maybe everything will be solved.It is Lu Xiao's responsibility to grow up to learn to face everything and continue to walk firmly.

Lu Xiao looked up at the night sky, the bright moon was in the sky, and he was holding the longevity lock in his hand. On the front of the silver-plated thing was a vague lettering, and on the back was his birthday.

Happy birthday.

He said this to himself, and after that, Lu Xiao never tossed and turned, and fell into a peaceful dreamland.

This sleep lasted until the sun was up, and when Lu Xiao was fully awake, she didn't see Xiao Yezi who was supposed to be guarding the door.Children are very sleepy, but they fall asleep earlier than others, it stands to reason that Little Ye Zi should have been awake for a long time at this moment.

Lu Xiao took a long time to wash up, and when she walked to the main hall, she still didn't see Xiao Yezi, and immediately stared at the visitor.

Qi Jiansi took a sip of tea, saw Lu Xiao approaching, and said slowly, "Meng Ye took Wu Ye to the street to play, today I came uninvited."

Only Qi Zhiyu would seriously call Xiao Ye Zi Wu Ye, and Lu Xiao laughed when he heard him speak: "Why did you come here uninvited, and suddenly you are so polite, I'm not used to it."

One of them stood at the door and the other sat in the room. The curtain was blown against Lu Xiao's face in the wind. He lifted the curtain with one hand and walked into the main hall.Lu Xiao sat down next to him, and then saw that his eyes were a little blue, and he looked like he hadn't slept well.

Lu Xiao raised her hand, pointed at his eyes with a distance of two fingers' width, and said with concern: "There's nothing serious about it recently. Seeing how busy you are, dark circles appear under your eyes."

The person froze immediately.

"...You and I have known each other for several years," Qi Jiansi avoided the conversation uncomfortably, and cut straight to the point: "I don't even know your birthday. I just remembered that you should be crowned this year, but I never thought it would be yesterday."

As soon as the fourth prince made a congratulatory gift, how many people got the news.

Qi Jiansi's very good-looking face showed embarrassment, the fourth prince gave him a very precious jade pendant as a congratulatory gift, and Emperor Yunkang only rewarded Lu Xiao's study a few days ago.It was already dusk when he found out about this, so he couldn't choose one or two items from the storeroom at home, and just rush there at night in such a hurry.

It's probably too perfunctory.

The warehouse at home is nothing more than gold, silver and jade, silk and satin, and grandfather's collection.Since Lu Xiao has already received a reward from the royal family, taking out the things in his mansion is nothing but shame.

Besides, if he had known about Lu Xiao's birthday earlier, he probably wouldn't have thought about such things as gold, silver and jade.It's just that the time is really short, if you ask him to pretend he doesn't know about it and pass it vaguely, it would be an insult to the friendship between the two of them, and Qi Jiansi would never pretend to be foolish.

He sat in the study and thought about it. He remembered that he had learned woodcarving from Meng Ye a few years ago. It was to make his younger sister happy. Who knew that Qi Jianci saw it right away, and pierced him with a puckered mouth: "One Most of them were made by Meng Ye!"

Qi Jiansi was so embarrassed, he went back to his room with a cold face.He has an unyielding temperament. He was still young at the time, and he could spare half an hour every day after finishing his homework to ponder wood carving, which became a skill that was unknown to him.

So in Lu Xiao's heart, the pair of sharp-boned hands that could only be used to hold a pen could not only wash the dishes for him, but Master Xiao Qi also carved wood with reckless abandon.

Lu Xiao didn't realize it for a while, and said "Ah", Qi Jiansi also assumed that he had acquiesced that yesterday was his 20th birthday.

When coaxing Qi Jianci back then, he only carved out a prototype, and the rest of the delicate work was taken care of by Meng Ye.It was the first time in his life that he stayed up late to make a gift for someone, and Qi Jiansi didn't realize that Lu Xiao's status with him had already reached the peak silently.

At this moment, he just felt that he was trying to apologize for Lu Xiao, so he said frankly: "I think it can only be regarded as a perfunctory way to bring some gold, silver and satin. If there is too much accumulation, I can't tell who sent it, so I will send it by myself." I made a gadget for you."

He wasn't worried at all that Lu Xiao would dislike his woodcarving, but when he took it out of his sleeve, Qi Jiansi inevitably regretted that if he was given more time, he would be able to carve more beautiful objects, and he wouldn't have to take out his hand There is only such a solitary one.

It was a wooden deer.

Boxwood is used as the base, the antlers are lifelike, the limbs are sharp, and the eyes of the deer are inlaid with shining obsidian.

Qi Jiansi tapped the clear deer's eyes with his fingertips, and said in a warm voice: "The little deer gave Xiao Lu a gift to ward off evil and protect the body, and turn danger into good luck. Although it is inconvenient to carry it with you, it can be regarded as a blessing if you put it in your room."

His eyes were particularly focused, as if this small wooden sculpture could really bring luck to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao stared at him blankly, her black eyes were more touching than the clear deer eyes, she took the wooden deer blankly, and said two words to him: "Thank you."

Although Qi Jiansi's face was as cold as ever, anyone could see that the original nervous expression had disappeared.He said briskly: "It's getting late, if you hang around here again, the food will be cold."

Lu Xiao nodded, and solemnly put away the wooden deer.

Most of the dishes on the table are Lu Xiao's favorite dishes. Qi Jiansi probably knows that Ning Huai came here with such a big fanfare yesterday, but he has never tasted the dishes today.

Puffing his cheeks, he still asked, "Which restaurant's chef made this, if I have a chance, I will definitely steal it!"

Qi Jiansi said: "It's not a restaurant. The cook in the house has been working for many years. After all, practice makes perfect. She can figure out a different taste from the outside. Just eat it and like it."

Lu Xiao immediately praised the cook.

After the main dishes are used up, his favorite snacks will certainly not be missing.Lu Xiao recalled that when Qi Jiansi saw him off outside the city a few months ago, he also brought pastries made by the cook at home, and his eyes lit up instantly with greed.

This time it was coconut milk cake, and Lu Xiao knew how to make it himself, but when he took a bite full of anticipation, he frowned firmly.

Qi Jiansi immediately asked, "What's the matter? Did you not do well?"

"It's so sweet," Lu Xiao swallowed with difficulty, and said truthfully, "It's really too sweet."

Qi Jiansi's expression was a bit weird, but when Lu Xiao looked at him, Lord Qi's expression changed like lightning, returning to his most ordinary expression.

However, for such an inaudible moment, Lu Xiao who was sitting opposite had a panoramic view.

...Could it be that Qi Jiansi did it himself, such a terrifying thought popped into Lu Xiao's mind.

He tried to make up for it: "Really, maybe the helper put too much sugar carelessly, if it's too sweet, just put it down."

It's a pity that it got darker and darker, Lu Xiao calmly picked up another piece, and calmly chewed the coconut milk cake with an extra spoonful of sugar.And Qi Jiansi's complexion turned from white to red, because Lu Xiao was always at a disadvantage in the confrontation, and when Lu Xiao picked up the fourth piece, he resignedly stopped his chopsticks.

"...I'm cooking for the first time, and my hands are not accurate." The word "I" was said so softly that it was almost inaudible, Qi Jiansi said sullenly, "Don't eat any more."

Lu Xiao obediently put down her chopsticks, looked at him and said from the bottom of her heart, "Qi Zhiyu, why are you so cute?"

"..."

Qi Jiansi put a blank face on his face: "Don't say such things that make fun of me again!"

is really cute.Staying up all night just to carve a deer, the dignified courtier went into the back kitchen to make pastries, and blushed when he was discovered. Would anyone believe that Qi Jiansi did it?

The little flame in Lu Xiao's heart was jumping up and down, burning his face hot. He sincerely thought that this kind of Qi Jiansi should be cherished by others, so he nodded very obediently, and shut his mouth wisely. .Qi Zhiyu, whose skin is as thin as paper, quietly took the plate of coconut milk cake away, so that the blush on his face faded.

The autumn is high and crisp, and there is no sun to be seen after noon.As dusk approached, Meng Yefang brought Xiao Yezi into the house.Lu Xiao stretched out her index finger and flicked Xiao Yezi's head, and said lazily, "Yo, brother Xiaoye ran away after seeing you, didn't he?"

The child had a great time playing outside, and lived together for a long time, how could he not know that Lu Xiao just said it casually.Xiao Yezi still held two bunches of candied haws in her hand, and handed them to Lu Xiao naively: "Master, it's for you and Mr. Qi."

Lu Xiao handed out a bunch to Qi Jiansi, and said with a smile, "Xiaxiaoshi."

He hadn't stayed on the street for only three or four days, and the hawkers selling candied haws who walked the streets and alleys also came out. In previous years, they would have to wait another half a month or so.

The rock sugar melted quickly, and the sugar water dripped down the side, and Lu Xiao quickly licked it.

One big and one small retreated into the yard like a gust of wind, as if they had endless words to say.After Lu Xiao ate the last one, she touched her belly and started talking nonsense: "Qi Zhiyu, I have your child in my stomach."

Qi Jiansi's hand holding the string of sugar froze in mid-air, hesitantly said: "Mine?"

"Of course it's yours," Lu Xiao said slowly to listen to him, "I've been with you today, so you can't deny it."

"..." Master Xiao Qi, who somehow had an extra child, said sincerely, "Okay, mine."

With such a straightforward promise, Lu Xiao has nothing to say if he fails to make fun of her.Little did they know that Qi Jiansi was secretly delighted at the moment, and that once in a while he could still make Lu Xiao speechless.

Lu Xiao made fun of herself, quickly shifted her gaze and said, "I haven't eaten longevity noodles yet."

"Then... I'll ask Meng Ye to go back to the mansion and ask the cook to come and do it?" Qi Jiansi said.

Lu Xiao got up abruptly, and glanced at him: "You're just causing yourself trouble, you can't do it, can't I?"

In fact, he just wanted to ask Qi Jiansi to stay a little longer.Perhaps it was caused by loneliness, Lu Xiao was particularly greedy today, or rather grateful for the care given by Qi Jiansi.
