The little sweetheart dressed as the ghost king
Chapter 103 Cotton
Although Xiji felt that he still had a lot of things to do, but after finally being free, he felt that his laziness had committed again. After thinking about it, he decided to give himself a few days off.
Staying in the palace for the past few days, Xiji has resumed cooking every day and casually watching the days when Bi Jiang taught Lu Yin how to read and write.
Xiji ate the shortbread just made yesterday, and looked at the serious look of Lu Yin below, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.In the first few days, Xiji was still a little worried that the little girl Luyin would not listen to Bijiang's words, but after the past few days, she was studying very seriously, and all his worries were in vain. up.
Just looking at Bijiang's cautious appearance holding the scroll he brought, he knows how luxurious reading and writing are in this era.It is difficult for ordinary people to read and write, let alone a servant like Lu Yin.Thinking about it this way, Xiji also understood why Lu Yin was so careful.
Seeing that one of them was serious about learning and the other was serious about teaching, Xiji didn't bother her, and sat on the soft bed by herself, slowly eating the shortbread in her hand, thinking that she would put more milk next time. It is more fragrant.
Just when Xiji was thinking about how to make this ordinary shortbread more delicious, there was a gust of cool wind blowing from somewhere, which made Xiji shiver from the cold, and then a Big sneeze.
Xiji's sound immediately alarmed the two people who were teaching seriously over there.Lu Yin looked at Xiji who was wiping her nose with a handkerchief, immediately put down the wooden stick in her hand, ran to Xiji's side quickly, and asked with concern: "Young master, did you catch a cold?"
Xiji wiped his nose, waved his hands, and said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just that I was stimulated by a gust of wind just now."
Seeing Xiji's indifferent look, Lu Yin didn't know what to think of, bit her lip, then turned her head and ran to the room where the sundries were kept.
Seeing the back of the green grass like a gust of wind, Xiji was a little puzzled, turned her head to look at Bi Jiang who stood up, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong with her?"
Bijiang gracefully patted his clothes that were wrinkled due to squatting down, stood up straight again, glanced at the direction where Lu Yin ran past, then turned his head to look at Xiji, and said respectfully: "My lord, she It should be to get warm clothes."
After listening to Bijiang's words, Xiji looked at Luyin who had come back with her things, and her reaction was a little funny.It was just a sneeze, and it made such a big noise.
Lu Yin didn't know what Xiji was thinking. After taking the things back, she spread them out in front of Xiji, but it turned out to be a small brocade quilt, which looked similar to a modern warm quilt.
After Lu Yin shook the thing away, she directly wrapped it around Xiji's waist, covering the area below his waist, looked at Xiji and said seriously: "Young master, you are weak, you should cover this thing well." If you don’t get sick, you will feel bad.”
Xiji looked at the serious maid in front of her, and then at the luxurious-looking little quilt on her lap, couldn't help but smiled, and nodded her head in response, not refusing her kindness, expressing that she would Well covered.
With Xiji's assurance, the expression on Lu Yin's face relaxed a little.Her son is so good, he can't be sick.
Just when Xiji covered the small quilt and was about to let Lu Yin continue to study, she suddenly felt a bit of warmth coming from under the quilt.Feeling the heat that came so quickly, Xiji felt a little surprised, and couldn't help saying: "This little quilt is really warm!"
Lu Yin has been standing next to Xiji, when she heard his words and saw the surprised expression on his face, she couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Young master, of course, all the things you use now are It is the best, even this little quilt is no exception. It is stuffed with carefully selected wool stored in the mansion on weekdays, how can it not be warm?"
Hearing what Lu Yin said, Xiji, who knew that wool was rare in his previous life, couldn't help but ask, "Is everything in winter made of wool?"
Lu Yin didn't know why Xiji asked these questions, and always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't think much about it when she faced Xiji, so she nodded and said naturally: "It's natural, the rich and the rich use wool. It’s just a question of whether to share more or less because of different family backgrounds.”
Speaking of this, Lu Yin's face showed a bit of complacency, and she looked at Xiji with bright eyes and said: "This year, the young master is here, and the Night King ordered the housekeeper to take out all the wool in the mansion and give it to you." The son buys winter service. The servant feels that even the concubine of the king, no one has such treatment."
Hearing this, Xiji sensed something was wrong, looked at Lu Yin and asked tentatively: "Then what kind of clothes are you wearing? Cotton?"
Hearing Xiji's question, Lu Yin's face showed a bit of confusion, and she looked at him and asked in a tangled manner: "Master, what is cotton? Our winter clothes are made of hemp and other things. .If you are lucky, you can sew one or two pieces of leftover wool into it, which is even better."
Hearing this, Xiji looked at her little quilt and fell into deep thought, thinking of what Bijiang had said to herself a few days ago, 'The winter here is freezing to death'.
Not only do they have no money to buy enough firewood, but they also have no money to buy clothes made of wool. Wool is so expensive in modern times, let alone in this era.As for using hemp to keep out the cold, although Xiji didn't know how clothes made of hemp would look like, he felt that it must not be very cold.
Thinking of this, Xiji asked again, and got the same answer from Luyin and Bijiang, that is, they had never seen the thing called cotton, or even anything that looked like it.
Knowing the result, Xiji was silent for a few moments. He thought of two possibilities. One is that there may be such things here, but due to underdeveloped transportation and occasional wars between various vassal states, the cotton has not spread.The second is that that thing is a foreign object in this time and space, and it is still waiting for people to discover it in that distant country.
Thinking of this, Xiji couldn't help but sighed. His modern family conditions are very good, and he has the best food and clothing. The clothes he wears in winter are mainly down jackets and pure wool.But even so, he still has a few cotton coats, so he naturally knows the ability of that thing to keep out the cold. He didn't expect to see this useful crop in this time and space.
Xiji sat there and struggled alone, and then heard Lu Yin's cautious question, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"
Xiji looked up at her, sighed, and then asked, "Wouldn't it be cold in winter if you dressed like this?"
Lu Yin didn't expect Xiji to ask this question, and seeing how he seemed to be struggling, she answered honestly: "My lord, this servant is born in a family, and I still have a few clothes that can keep out the cold, so I can get by in winter. "
Hearing this, Xiji's eyes looking at Lu Yin became a little strange. He had a bad feeling. If he thought about it this way, her winter clothes should not be washed often.The strong desire to survive made him refuse to explore further, so he waved his hand and said to Lu Yin: "You go to read, I will call you when I have something to do."
Although Lu Yin felt that the young master looked at her strangely since she said those words, she obediently obeyed his instructions and saluted.
Bi Jiang watched Lu Yin go down, and naturally followed suit.
Xiji looked at the two people who had fallen into the state of study again, thinking about the importance of cotton, he felt that it must be found.After thinking for a while, I thought of the Night King.His ability is limited, and it is impossible for him to support the matter of finding cotton alone, but the Night King can!As soon as he gave an order, many people would spontaneously help to find it.
Thinking of this, Xiji felt that the cotton could be delivered to him tomorrow, and Xiji, who was so excited, didn't think too much, directly lifted his little quilt, and then went to the study room where the Night King usually works. go.Before leaving, he also told Lu Yin and the others not to follow her, and they didn't have to go far.
Seeing Xiji walking away, Lu Yin was a little hesitant, and finally Bi Jiang spoke first: "Since the young master doesn't like us following, then we can just wait here for him to come back."
Hearing what Bijiang said, Luyin glanced at her, nodded, then looked at Xiji who was gone, and sat down again to continue studying.The young master gave her such a good opportunity, so she naturally couldn't waste it.
Over there, Xiji arrived at the place where the Night King was handling official business, looked at the attendants coming and going, and looked at the stacks of bamboo slips in their arms, a little dazed, he seemed to have forgotten something very important It's over.
Before Sigi could think about it, the attendant who walked out with the bamboo slips in his arms saluted him, and called out respectfully, "Young Master Xi."
"En." Xiji replied, and then watched them leave the room one after another.
Perhaps their voices attracted the attention of the Night King. When the Night King raised his head, he saw Siji standing there, staring at the attendants who left thoughtfully. The Night King didn't know that he was there. Thinking of something, he raised his eyebrows involuntarily, and shouted, "Come here."
Hearing the voice of the Night King, Xiji came back to his senses, followed the direction of the voice and saw the Night King staring at him. The young prince wore a strange mask, and his eyes were as deep as ever.Seeing him staring at him, Xiji hurried over.
As soon as the Night King stretched out his hand, he hugged Xiji who was close to him, let him sit on his lap, and asked softly, "Why did you come here at this point?"
When she was hugged by the Night King at the beginning, Xiji would still feel a little embarrassed. Later, the number of times became more, and I don’t know if it was because she was thick-skinned, or because no one dared to laugh at herself, Xiji gradually became less so. I care about it.
Xiji found a comfortable position in the arms of the Night King and sat down, then looked at the Night King, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, I have something to ask of you."
The Night King looked at Xiji, raised his eyebrows, and his tone was full of ridicule: "Jill will only become so obedient when she asks the king for something."
Xiji was a little embarrassed by the words of the Night King, and retorted in a low voice: "No, I don't dare to confront you, my lord, on weekdays."
Ye Wang heard the words, chuckled lightly, and said with a smile: "From this point of view, Jier seems to want to do something to make me unhappy?"
Hearing the question from the Night King, even knowing that he didn't mean any threat, Xiji still felt a sense of crisis, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I haven't thought about it, my lord, you can't wrong me."
How many catties and taels he has, he himself knows it well, and he is fighting against the Night King, fearing that the Night King will get angry, and he will not be able to survive his slap.
The Night King saw Xiji shaking his head frantically, with a look of denial, chuckled a few times, leaned in front of him, kissed his fair face, and said softly: "Don't worry, if Jill If you make me angry, I won't do anything to you, as long as Jill calms me down on the bed."
Hearing his words, Xiji's face turned red immediately, and she turned her head to look at the serious man talking in disbelief, and muttered: "My lord, how can you say such things in this kind of place?" ?”
"Oh?" The Night King looked at Siji's blushing like something, and asked inexplicably: "So Jill thinks, when should I say this is more appropriate?"
Xiji's face was reddened by his question, and looking at the Night King who had become more and more dishonest for some reason, he quickly changed the subject and said, "My lord, let's talk about what I wanted to say just now." .”
The Night King looked at Siji, who was flushed and looked delicious, and stopped teasing him.Wrapping around his waist, he asked in a low voice, "What does Jier want to say to me?"
Xiji looked at the night king who had become normal, and tried hard to calm down his emotions, then looked at the night king calmly, and said his plan, "I want my lord to order to help me find something. "
"What is it?" Hearing what Siji said, the Night King took his hand a little bored, played with the thin calluses on his fingertips, and asked casually.
Xiji tried his best to ignore the weird touch from his hand, and told the appearance and function of the cotton that he knew, emphasizing the practicality of the thing, and finally looked at the Night King expectantly, "My lord, that thing is really very useful."
After listening to Xiji's description, the Night King naturally understood the magical effect of that thing, but he just looked at the little brother sitting on his lap, and asked him, "Where did Jill know this magical thing?" something?"
Hearing the question from the Night King, Xiji froze, wondering if the Night King would believe him now that he said he read it from a book.
The Night King's sense is so keen, he also noticed Siji's instant stiffness, but he still looked straight at him, as if he wanted to know an answer.
Xiji looked at the Night King who had been staring at her, and struggled for a while, sweating on his brow in a hurry, but still couldn't find a perfect excuse.
Like a very patient catcher, the Night King did not urge him, but waited slowly, only waiting for the moment when his prey showed signs of fatigue, and then cut him open.
Xiji swallowed his saliva, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable excuse. Looking at the Night King's expression, he gradually became anxious.
The Night King looked at Xiji who was getting more and more anxious, sighed softly, took his hand to his lips, kissed it lightly, and said lightly: "You can't even tell a lie? ?”
Hearing what the Night King said, Xiji was shocked, knowing that the Night King must have guessed something, but Xiji knew that he could not tell his secret.Thinking of this, Xiji lowered his head in shame, looking a little at a loss.
The Night King looked at him like this, his eyes darkened, he reached out and lifted his chin and kissed him.After a moment of astonishment, Xiji obediently accepted the Night King.
Then there was an ambiguous voice in the room, which made people blush and heartbeat.
After the long kiss was over, Xiji's face became flushed, and she lay on the Night King's shoulder, panting heavily, and began to feel embarrassed when she thought that there were other people in the room.
Night King stroked his back repeatedly, as if he was helping him, or as if he was stroking a lazy cat.Hearing the panting in the ear, with a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said in Xiji's ear: "I don't want to find out what you are hiding from me, but you have to know that you are mine, Can't run away from me."
Hearing this, Xiji was shocked all over, and then put his forehead on the shoulder of the Night King, and responded softly, "Yes."
Receiving Xiji's response, the Night King stroked his long black hair and smiled softly, "Good boy."
The two were intimate as if no one else was around, and the other people in the room made themselves invisible, for fear of disturbing the scene in front of them.The afternoon sunlight came in through the gaps in the windows and sprinkled on the two of them, forming a soft circle of light.
……
After all, Xiji didn't stay with the Night King for too long. After telling the Night King and getting a promise that he would send someone to find him, he took a chance and slipped back.When he returned to his own room, he felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the bold actions he and the Night King had made just now.
After all, the ancients were conservative, and they didn't know what those attendants thought of him. Presumably they would think he was an unscrupulous brother.Thinking of this, Xiji's face turned even redder.
Seeing Xiji came back, Lu Yin and the others immediately noticed his abnormal expression.Seeing Lu Yin, Dang even became nervous, looked at Xiji and said anxiously: "Master, why did you go out, and your face became so red, did you have a fever, let's go to the doctor quickly, it's getting serious Not good."
Listening to Lu Yin's yelling, Xiji didn't know how to answer for a while, she couldn't say that her face became so red because she was kissed by the Night King just now.He couldn't say those words, he could only look at Lu Yin and said vaguely: "I'm just a little hot, it's not a big deal."
When he said this, Lu Yin couldn't believe it even more. Even if it's hot this season, how could it make Xiji blush like this, and she couldn't help but nervously said: "Young master, you must have a fever due to the blowing. I'll ask the doctor to come and have a look for you, and you must stop blowing it."
Hearing what Lu Yin said, Xiji didn't know how to explain it, and his face became more and more red with anxiety, and he didn't know how to persuade him when he saw Lu Yin groaning.
Just when Luyin was about to run out to invite a doctor, Bijiang who was beside Luyin grabbed her and said calmly in her anxious expression: "Master, it's hot, just take a rest, don't need to ask a doctor .”
Lu Yin was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, she glanced at Xi Ji who nodded in agreement, and then at Bi Jiang with a determined face.Confused for a while, he bit his lower lip and said unwillingly: "Okay, I believe you, then I will wait for a while, if the young master's face is still so red after a while, he must have a fever, I will definitely I'm going to ask the doctor."
Seeing that the green grass had subsided, Xiji let out a long breath, then lifted his feet and walked into the house.
When Bijiang was walking in Xiji, his eyes passed over his slightly red and swollen lips, and then he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
After Xiji entered, he first poured himself a few sips of water to calm down his ups and downs, and then began to worry about whether he had to think about it and make up a decent reason, so as to make up for any future inventions. Create an excuse, otherwise it would be really stressful to be interrogated like this by the Night King every time!
Hey... Thinking of the fear of being oppressed by the eyes of the Night King, Xiji didn't know how many times he could hold on, it was simply too scary.
Xiji was very sad, but this sad time didn't last long, and was interrupted by someone.
Bijiang came in, looked at Xiji whose face was not as red as before, and said respectfully: "My lord, the leader of the hot and sour noodles seller and the people from the Ministry of Industry have come to report the situation today."
When Xiji heard the words, he was a little surprised at first, but then he quickly remembered that today seemed to be the day of checking accounts, and he actually forgot.Thinking of this, Xiji felt a little ashamed, and waved his hand to let Bi Jiang invite him in first.
After tidying up his clothes and making sure there was nothing wrong with him, Xiji met the visitor.
I saw that one of them was wearing coarse linen and the other was wearing fine clothes. It was easy for people to see that they belonged to two classes.Thinking of this, Xiji silently sighed in his heart, and then quickly corrected his mentality.He is already trying his best to do the most things, as for more, he has nothing to do.
Having figured this out, Xiji was not hypocritical, first looked at the dark-skinned young man, and asked directly: "Is the business of hot and sour noodles good these days?"
The young man looked a little restrained, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor, watching Xiji trying to use his most stable voice and said: "Except for the first few days when the business was booming, the number of people buying in the past few days has decreased. , the daily sales volume is almost the same. Maybe in a few days, the daily sales volume will be fixed, and the ingredients prepared can also be limited.
It may take a few days, the weather will be colder, and the number will increase again, but recently I saw that along the coast, some people began to sell food, which must have some impact on our business.Therefore, we will have to wait until then to see if we can still sell so many. "
Hearing what he said, Xiji was actually a little surprised. He originally thought that these slaves could not read a single word, and even if they were smart, they could only count money. He didn't expect him to figure out the rules so quickly.And it seems that there is still the possibility of continuous development, so I can't help but look at him more.
The man has been very nervous since he finished speaking. Seeing Xiji staring at him and not speaking at this time, he dared not speak out.They were bought by the housekeeper, so they were naturally taught the corresponding things, and they also knew the status of this weak-looking little brother in front of him in this mansion.Therefore, they dare not take his words seriously.
At this moment, seeing Xiji Guang staring at him and not speaking, he was very disturbed, wondering if he had done something wrong.Just when he was uneasy and felt his heart was about to jump out, Xiji said slowly, "You are doing very well, keep working hard, and when this month is over, I think I can give you bonuses."
Hearing this, the man immediately became elated, knelt on the ground and saluted repeatedly, which was bound to let Xiji know his gratitude.
Seeing the man who was about to smash his head, Xiji frowned, found an excuse, and sent him out.He is not used to this kind of scene, but he can't appear too maverick.
After the man left, Xiji turned his gaze to the official of the Ministry of Industry who had been standing beside him silently, and asked indifferently: "Master Pei, what do you want to report this time?"
When Mr. Pei heard Xiji's question, he quickly stood up straight, and told Xiji about the recent events, "The wealthy households in the city have basically completed the construction of the kang, and the rural households, according to the report, are almost the same. It's almost over. The orders received in recent days have decreased a lot, and it is estimated that in the near future, there will be no one to do this at all. So the next official came to ask your son for instructions, what should you do next?"
Hearing his question, Xiji thought for a moment, and suddenly flashed through the stacks of bamboo slips that he saw in the Night King's study today.
Soon, Mr. Pei, who was waiting for the order, heard the beautiful young man above him say leisurely: "You find some craftsmen who are good at craftsmanship and flexible in mind. We are going to do something big next."
Staying in the palace for the past few days, Xiji has resumed cooking every day and casually watching the days when Bi Jiang taught Lu Yin how to read and write.
Xiji ate the shortbread just made yesterday, and looked at the serious look of Lu Yin below, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.In the first few days, Xiji was still a little worried that the little girl Luyin would not listen to Bijiang's words, but after the past few days, she was studying very seriously, and all his worries were in vain. up.

The Night King looked at Xiji, raised his eyebrows, and his tone was full of ridicule: "Jill will only become so obedient when she asks the king for something."
Xiji was a little embarrassed by the words of the Night King, and retorted in a low voice: "No, I don't dare to confront you, my lord, on weekdays."
Ye Wang heard the words, chuckled lightly, and said with a smile: "From this point of view, Jier seems to want to do something to make me unhappy?"
Hearing the question from the Night King, even knowing that he didn't mean any threat, Xiji still felt a sense of crisis, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I haven't thought about it, my lord, you can't wrong me."
How many catties and taels he has, he himself knows it well, and he is fighting against the Night King, fearing that the Night King will get angry, and he will not be able to survive his slap.
The Night King saw Xiji shaking his head frantically, with a look of denial, chuckled a few times, leaned in front of him, kissed his fair face, and said softly: "Don't worry, if Jill If you make me angry, I won't do anything to you, as long as Jill calms me down on the bed."
Hearing his words, Xiji's face turned red immediately, and she turned her head to look at the serious man talking in disbelief, and muttered: "My lord, how can you say such things in this kind of place?" ?”
"Oh?" The Night King looked at Siji's blushing like something, and asked inexplicably: "So Jill thinks, when should I say this is more appropriate?"
Xiji's face was reddened by his question, and looking at the Night King who had become more and more dishonest for some reason, he quickly changed the subject and said, "My lord, let's talk about what I wanted to say just now." .”
The Night King looked at Siji, who was flushed and looked delicious, and stopped teasing him.Wrapping around his waist, he asked in a low voice, "What does Jier want to say to me?"
Xiji looked at the night king who had become normal, and tried hard to calm down his emotions, then looked at the night king calmly, and said his plan, "I want my lord to order to help me find something. "
"What is it?" Hearing what Siji said, the Night King took his hand a little bored, played with the thin calluses on his fingertips, and asked casually.
Xiji tried his best to ignore the weird touch from his hand, and told the appearance and function of the cotton that he knew, emphasizing the practicality of the thing, and finally looked at the Night King expectantly, "My lord, that thing is really very useful."
After listening to Xiji's description, the Night King naturally understood the magical effect of that thing, but he just looked at the little brother sitting on his lap, and asked him, "Where did Jill know this magical thing?" something?"
Hearing the question from the Night King, Xiji froze, wondering if the Night King would believe him now that he said he read it from a book.
The Night King's sense is so keen, he also noticed Siji's instant stiffness, but he still looked straight at him, as if he wanted to know an answer.
Xiji looked at the Night King who had been staring at her, and struggled for a while, sweating on his brow in a hurry, but still couldn't find a perfect excuse.
Like a very patient catcher, the Night King did not urge him, but waited slowly, only waiting for the moment when his prey showed signs of fatigue, and then cut him open.
Xiji swallowed his saliva, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable excuse. Looking at the Night King's expression, he gradually became anxious.
The Night King looked at Xiji who was getting more and more anxious, sighed softly, took his hand to his lips, kissed it lightly, and said lightly: "You can't even tell a lie? ?”
Hearing what the Night King said, Xiji was shocked, knowing that the Night King must have guessed something, but Xiji knew that he could not tell his secret.Thinking of this, Xiji lowered his head in shame, looking a little at a loss.
The Night King looked at him like this, his eyes darkened, he reached out and lifted his chin and kissed him.After a moment of astonishment, Xiji obediently accepted the Night King.
Then there was an ambiguous voice in the room, which made people blush and heartbeat.
After the long kiss was over, Xiji's face became flushed, and she lay on the Night King's shoulder, panting heavily, and began to feel embarrassed when she thought that there were other people in the room.
Night King stroked his back repeatedly, as if he was helping him, or as if he was stroking a lazy cat.Hearing the panting in the ear, with a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said in Xiji's ear: "I don't want to find out what you are hiding from me, but you have to know that you are mine, Can't run away from me."
Hearing this, Xiji was shocked all over, and then put his forehead on the shoulder of the Night King, and responded softly, "Yes."
Receiving Xiji's response, the Night King stroked his long black hair and smiled softly, "Good boy."
The two were intimate as if no one else was around, and the other people in the room made themselves invisible, for fear of disturbing the scene in front of them.The afternoon sunlight came in through the gaps in the windows and sprinkled on the two of them, forming a soft circle of light.
……
After all, Xiji didn't stay with the Night King for too long. After telling the Night King and getting a promise that he would send someone to find him, he took a chance and slipped back.When he returned to his own room, he felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the bold actions he and the Night King had made just now.
After all, the ancients were conservative, and they didn't know what those attendants thought of him. Presumably they would think he was an unscrupulous brother.Thinking of this, Xiji's face turned even redder.
Seeing Xiji came back, Lu Yin and the others immediately noticed his abnormal expression.Seeing Lu Yin, Dang even became nervous, looked at Xiji and said anxiously: "Master, why did you go out, and your face became so red, did you have a fever, let's go to the doctor quickly, it's getting serious Not good."
Listening to Lu Yin's yelling, Xiji didn't know how to answer for a while, she couldn't say that her face became so red because she was kissed by the Night King just now.He couldn't say those words, he could only look at Lu Yin and said vaguely: "I'm just a little hot, it's not a big deal."
When he said this, Lu Yin couldn't believe it even more. Even if it's hot this season, how could it make Xiji blush like this, and she couldn't help but nervously said: "Young master, you must have a fever due to the blowing. I'll ask the doctor to come and have a look for you, and you must stop blowing it."
Hearing what Lu Yin said, Xiji didn't know how to explain it, and his face became more and more red with anxiety, and he didn't know how to persuade him when he saw Lu Yin groaning.
Just when Luyin was about to run out to invite a doctor, Bijiang who was beside Luyin grabbed her and said calmly in her anxious expression: "Master, it's hot, just take a rest, don't need to ask a doctor .”
Lu Yin was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, she glanced at Xi Ji who nodded in agreement, and then at Bi Jiang with a determined face.Confused for a while, he bit his lower lip and said unwillingly: "Okay, I believe you, then I will wait for a while, if the young master's face is still so red after a while, he must have a fever, I will definitely I'm going to ask the doctor."
Seeing that the green grass had subsided, Xiji let out a long breath, then lifted his feet and walked into the house.
When Bijiang was walking in Xiji, his eyes passed over his slightly red and swollen lips, and then he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
After Xiji entered, he first poured himself a few sips of water to calm down his ups and downs, and then began to worry about whether he had to think about it and make up a decent reason, so as to make up for any future inventions. Create an excuse, otherwise it would be really stressful to be interrogated like this by the Night King every time!
Hey... Thinking of the fear of being oppressed by the eyes of the Night King, Xiji didn't know how many times he could hold on, it was simply too scary.
Xiji was very sad, but this sad time didn't last long, and was interrupted by someone.
Bijiang came in, looked at Xiji whose face was not as red as before, and said respectfully: "My lord, the leader of the hot and sour noodles seller and the people from the Ministry of Industry have come to report the situation today."
When Xiji heard the words, he was a little surprised at first, but then he quickly remembered that today seemed to be the day of checking accounts, and he actually forgot.Thinking of this, Xiji felt a little ashamed, and waved his hand to let Bi Jiang invite him in first.
After tidying up his clothes and making sure there was nothing wrong with him, Xiji met the visitor.
I saw that one of them was wearing coarse linen and the other was wearing fine clothes. It was easy for people to see that they belonged to two classes.Thinking of this, Xiji silently sighed in his heart, and then quickly corrected his mentality.He is already trying his best to do the most things, as for more, he has nothing to do.
Having figured this out, Xiji was not hypocritical, first looked at the dark-skinned young man, and asked directly: "Is the business of hot and sour noodles good these days?"
The young man looked a little restrained, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor, watching Xiji trying to use his most stable voice and said: "Except for the first few days when the business was booming, the number of people buying in the past few days has decreased. , the daily sales volume is almost the same. Maybe in a few days, the daily sales volume will be fixed, and the ingredients prepared can also be limited.
It may take a few days, the weather will be colder, and the number will increase again, but recently I saw that along the coast, some people began to sell food, which must have some impact on our business.Therefore, we will have to wait until then to see if we can still sell so many. "
Hearing what he said, Xiji was actually a little surprised. He originally thought that these slaves could not read a single word, and even if they were smart, they could only count money. He didn't expect him to figure out the rules so quickly.And it seems that there is still the possibility of continuous development, so I can't help but look at him more.
The man has been very nervous since he finished speaking. Seeing Xiji staring at him and not speaking at this time, he dared not speak out.They were bought by the housekeeper, so they were naturally taught the corresponding things, and they also knew the status of this weak-looking little brother in front of him in this mansion.Therefore, they dare not take his words seriously.
At this moment, seeing Xiji Guang staring at him and not speaking, he was very disturbed, wondering if he had done something wrong.Just when he was uneasy and felt his heart was about to jump out, Xiji said slowly, "You are doing very well, keep working hard, and when this month is over, I think I can give you bonuses."
Hearing this, the man immediately became elated, knelt on the ground and saluted repeatedly, which was bound to let Xiji know his gratitude.
Seeing the man who was about to smash his head, Xiji frowned, found an excuse, and sent him out.He is not used to this kind of scene, but he can't appear too maverick.
After the man left, Xiji turned his gaze to the official of the Ministry of Industry who had been standing beside him silently, and asked indifferently: "Master Pei, what do you want to report this time?"
When Mr. Pei heard Xiji's question, he quickly stood up straight, and told Xiji about the recent events, "The wealthy households in the city have basically completed the construction of the kang, and the rural households, according to the report, are almost the same. It's almost over. The orders received in recent days have decreased a lot, and it is estimated that in the near future, there will be no one to do this at all. So the next official came to ask your son for instructions, what should you do next?"
Hearing his question, Xiji thought for a moment, and suddenly flashed through the stacks of bamboo slips that he saw in the Night King's study today.
Soon, Mr. Pei, who was waiting for the order, heard the beautiful young man above him say leisurely: "You find some craftsmen who are good at craftsmanship and flexible in mind. We are going to do something big next."
