The little sweetheart dressed as the ghost king
Chapter 130 Alcohol
The Night King looked at Siji's strange behavior there suspiciously, not knowing what he was doing.After asking the maid beside him, he found out that he was delusional and inadvertently swallowed ink into his mouth.
After solving his doubts, the Night King laughed immediately, and instead of watching how Xiji rinsed his mouth, he walked slowly to the desk written by Xiji, casually picked up a piece of paper, and looked at the drawing on it. The crooked picture, with the writing on the side in a mess, with missing arms and short legs, couldn't help but chuckled, "It's really not even comparable to children's writing."
After reading all of Xiji's ghostly symbols, Xiji finally washed away the smell of ink in his mouth. While wiping his mouth with a cloth towel, he walked up to the Night King and asked suspiciously: "My lord, are you watching?" what?"
Hearing this, the Night King turned around to look at him, but did not put down the things in his hand, stared at him and said, "I see, your word needs to be practiced well. Not to mention compared to this king, just Even the words of an eight-year-old child can't compare."
Xiji followed his words and looked at the things in his hand. When he saw his crooked characters, he blushed and felt a little embarrassed.The characters used in this era are similar to the traditional traditional characters in ancient times. He disliked the trouble, so he still wrote simplified characters, but even so, his characters were not good-looking.
After all, as a new youth in the 21st century, he has learned a lot, but he really doesn't have time to learn this kind of thing that needs to be accumulated over time to practice.
His face was flushed, he stared at the piece of paper in the hands of the Night King, he didn't want to admit that his writing was ugly, so he forcefully argued: "Your Excellency is so powerful, how can I compare to it, I'm not a genius like Your Excellency. Besides What is written, others can see what it is, and there is no need for such high requirements.”
The Night King looked at him for a long time with a half-smile, and finally, after Xiji's face turned redder, he said, "You're right."
Hearing the words of the Night King, Xiji knew that the Night King was not going to entangle himself in this matter any more, and while he was relieved, he wanted to change the subject.But before he could speak, he heard the Night King ask again, "What are you planning to do again?"
Seeing the weirdly shaped utensils on the drawing, the Night King knew that Xiji wanted to make something new, but he had never seen this thing before, so naturally he didn't know what it was used for.
Seeing that the Night King asked about this, Xiji's eyes lit up immediately, and then picked up one of the best manuscript papers, looked at the Night King and explained: "I'm going to use this thing to make alcohol."
"What is that? It's the same as that wine?" At this time, the Night King already felt that there was nothing strange about Xiji's strange ideas from time to time, but when he heard this term, the first thing he wanted to know was the use of this thing .After the wine last time, the Night King thought that the alcohol that Xiji wanted to make this time was the same thing, so he asked directly.
Seeing that the Night King was interested in this thing, Xiji became more excited, and quickly shook his head and explained: "No, alcohol is not the kind of wine to drink."
Seeing that he had guessed wrong, the Night King raised his eyebrows calmly.
Xiji couldn't see the expression of the Night King, so he naturally didn't know what he was thinking at this time, and then said happily: "But it is a very useful thing. If you have that thing, you don't need that expensive soup to disinfect it. Applying that thing directly to the wound can inhibit the intrusion of those Gu insects and evil spirits, and reduce the chance of infection and festering."
Originally, Xiji wanted to talk about bacteria, but he also understood that people in this era did not understand that kind of thing, so he changed the term.
The Night King just started to ask questions, just out of curiosity about what little things Sigi had got. After Sigi finished speaking, he began to think about the usefulness of this thing, and even his eyes gradually became darker.
It is a terrible thing for people in this era to get sick, and it is not a trivial matter for a wound to fester. Once the wound becomes inflamed and festered, what awaits him is either he recovers after taking medicine, or the piece of rotten meat is cruelly dug out. Go, it still shows.Even when such a small wound appeared, many people did not pay attention to it, and eventually developed pus and infection, and developed a fever from the small wound, and finally died.
Therefore, when Xiji said that this thing can prevent festering, the attitude of the Night King was different immediately.At first, I was thinking that if it was something that took a lot of energy and energy, I forced Xiji to do it after he recovered from his injury.
Right now, he wanted Xiji to come out earlier, as it was winter and there was no fighting.But when the spring begins, those enemies who are ready to move will not be so peaceful. If Xiji can get that thing out, it will be of great use at that time.
It's just that the Night King looked at the bruises on Siji's face, the crutches in his hand to support his walking, and his tightly wrapped feet. The Night King, who was doing whatever he wanted for the first time, hesitated rarely.
Seeing that the Night King did not say a word after listening to his own words, but instead stared at him and became dazed, Xiji asked a little puzzled: "My lord?"
"Forget it, it's okay." Anyway, the war won't start for a while, so he'd better wait for Xiji's leg injury to heal before mentioning this matter.
Xiji didn't know the heaviness in his words at all, seeing the Night King finally answered, so he went on to talk about his plan, "I plan to let the craftsman fix all the utensils I want first, and then use them while it's not very cold. I will make a batch first, and make another batch of white wine by the way, and the white wine will be ready to drink by this time next year. However, I am a little confused now. I don’t know if those farmers have so much grain in their homes. What I need Can several types of food be bought?"
The paper shop has brought him huge profits, so in his opinion, money is not a problem at all.The difficulty lies in whether I can receive so many things.
The Night King looked at Xiji's excited look at this time, and didn't interrupt him, but instead asked, "What food do you need?"
Hearing the question from the Night King, Xiji immediately listed the crops he needed in his impression, "Sweet potatoes, corn, wheat... some of them are used for alcohol, and some are used for wine making .”
Hearing these items listed by Siji, the Night King's originally frowning brows relaxed a little bit, and finally looked at the worried Xiji who didn't know what to do, hooked the corners of his lips, and said lightly: "You don't need to buy it. gone."
Hearing his words, Xiji was a little confused, so she raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were full of doubts.
Seeing Xiji staring at him like a curious deer, Night King's mood obviously became better, so he continued: "You can go to the warehouse to get these things directly, you don't need to buy them."
Hearing this, Xiji's eyes lit up.In this era, the Night King is the master of this territory, and those things collected from all directions and put into the warehouse are naturally his property, so how to deal with it is naturally up to him.
It's just that after a moment of happiness, Xiji was still a little entangled, looked at the Night King and said embarrassingly: "Is this going to be bad, what should I do if there is a famine or other disasters down there? "
The Night King looked at the worrying Xiji, with an expression of caring for a silly child on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "There are enough things in the warehouse, you don't have to worry so much, just use them."
Although Xiji is still a little worried, after all, if you use grain to make wine, whether it is medical alcohol or liquor, you need a very large amount.But seeing the confident and confident appearance of the Night King, he no longer refuses him.He just thought that if there were not many things in the warehouse by then, he might as well go and buy some by himself.At worst, he would just buy less and make less.
It's just that he never expected that when he took Lu Yin and the others to see the grain inventory, he would be shocked by the grain piled up in several large granaries, and casually remembered the way the Night King looked at him at that time.That's not looking at the expression of an ignorant child, but the expression of an idiot.
But that was all later. After temporarily solving the food problem, Xiji was still very happy. He didn't care that he didn't make a complete vessel, but pulled the Night King and said happily: "My lord, let's eat first. I specially ordered the cook to make you like braised lion's head and spicy chicken."
The Night King watched Siji pulling himself hard while moving towards the dining table with a cane, and shook his head in disapproval, as if he was not very satisfied with his speed.So, Pa pulled his hand, and under his strange eyes, put his arms around his waist, let him lean on her, and quickly walked towards the edge of the dining table.
Xiji was a little flustered at the beginning, but when she discovered the strength of the Night King and was holding herself steadily, she was not so flustered, and instead put most of her weight on the Night King with confidence.
Xiji is not able to cook in Fuchu every day. With the expansion of his authority in Fuchu and more and more things to do, he often cannot cook dinner.Fortunately, when he was cooking, he didn't shy away from other people learning his skills secretly, and even took time to point out a few words when he saw that they didn't learn the essentials.Therefore, even if it is made by other cooks, it has a little bit of Xiji's true biography, which is barely enough.
After Xiji said that the meal was going to be served, the kitchen quickly brought over all the dishes they wanted to eat today.
Just as the two of them looked at the three dishes and one soup in front of them and were about to eat, there was a notification from the servants outside the door.Xiji was a little curious, who would come here at such a time, and Xiji was a little confused when he knew that it was Cheng Dieyi who came over from the servant's narration.
At this time, she didn't eat in her own yard, so she ran here to do something.
Compared to Xiji's doubts, the Night King looked extraordinarily calm. Looking at the servant who came in, he asked straightforwardly, "What is she here for?"
The servant saw that it was Ye Wang who asked the question, and his bent back looked even lower, but he still said in detail what he knew: "Miss Chen said that she specially made nourishing soup for the young master. Drinking the decoction while it’s hot has the effect of setting bones, that’s why I’m running here now.”
When Xiji heard the words, she felt that it was too difficult for her. Obviously, it was enough for the servants to send this kind of thing, but she came here by herself.I just wanted my servants to invite people in, otherwise it would have been freezing in this cold weather.
Before he could open his mouth, he heard a sneer from beside him, followed by Night King's unique cold voice, with a hint of anger, "Let her leave the things and go back." He doesn't like people While eating, interrupt yourself.
"Yes." The servant ran out immediately after hearing the order, not daring to delay for a moment.
By doing this, Ye Wang undoubtedly embarrassed Miss Cheng who came to deliver the soup.Xiji didn't understand. Judging by the appearance of the Night King, he should not be very close to that aunt. If he followed his usual temperament, that person should have been kicked out by the Night King long ago, and he would definitely not let them stay until today. .
It's just that the Night King didn't give them a good look, nor did he deliberately make things difficult for them. Instead, he let them stay, which made Xiji feel a little confused about what the Night King was thinking for a moment.
After the Night King finished giving his orders, he turned his head and saw Xiji staring at him intently. His exquisite face was full of doubts, but his voice was a little warmer than before: "What's wrong?"
Xiji pursed her lips, not knowing whether she should ask, and there were so many servants around, so it would be bad if there were some words that should not be said.Thinking about it, Xiji shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
The Night King didn't know whether he really believed it or not, and he didn't continue to ask, and said calmly: "Let's eat."
"Ah."
The two of them picked up a chopstick of food, and the servant who had gone out to pass it on came back with an exquisite food box in his hand, which seemed to be prepared on purpose.
Xiji looked at the food box, and when he wanted to see what was inside, he heard the Night King next to him speak again, "Take it down and deal with it, and next time you take this kind of thing away, it's no better than giving it to the young master. "
"Yes." Although he didn't understand the intricate relationship between the master and the master, but the servant was obedient enough, so he didn't bring the thing in front of them, but turned around and left.
Xiji was even more puzzled this minute, and more and more sure of his guess.It's just that he blinked his big eyes, stared at the Night King who was eating food calmly, and finally decided not to ask any more questions.Forget it, adults always have their reasons for doing this.
When Xiji figured it out and was about to bury his head in his meal and try to draw the design later later, suddenly a chopstick was stretched out in front of him, with a chopstick of fish stuck on it.
When the red and white, sour-smelling fish fell into his bowl, the Night King's unusually familiar voice came from Siji's ear, "The fish did a good job today."
Xiji took a sip, and he didn't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that the fish tasted very sweet, so he nodded accordingly, and even turned his head to show a silly smile at the Night King. .
The Night King looked at him with a little red sauce on the corner of his mouth, but he smiled very foolishly. The mood that was spoiled by the woman without long eyes just now became better, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth involuntarily widened.
……
The two of them had a sweet dinner, and Cheng Dieyi on the other end turned pale for a moment when he learned that the Night King asked her to hand in the things and told her to leave, but he was still very good-tempered Facing the servant who came, he said politely, "Thank you."
What the servant often sees in the mansion are either ferocious guards or maidservants with low brows. It is rare to see such a weak woman who is too weak to be vulnerable. Naturally, when facing her, her tone is unavoidably softer.Looking at the weak woman in front of him, and seeing her pale face that was almost transparent, the boy couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but persuade: "It's cold, girl, you should go back early."
Hearing this, Cheng Dieyi blushed slightly, and said politely to him, "Thank you."
After Cheng Dieyi left with the maid beside him with a disappointed face, the servant looked at the food box in his hand and sighed silently.
Cheng Dieyi kept a look of disappointment, and returned to the courtyard where she and her aunt lived.Originally, she was mentally prepared, knowing that she might not be able to enter the courtyard, but when this scene happened, and it happened in full view, she still felt very embarrassed.
After returning to the courtyard and retreating the crowd, she turned to Fu Jinlian who had been sitting there with a pitiful look, "Auntie."
"What's wrong?" Seeing her aggrieved expression, Fu Jinlian immediately took her hand, let her sit beside her, and asked carefully: "But why did you suffer?"
Cheng Dieyi nodded slightly when he heard the words, as a tacit consent to her words.
Seeing her like this, Fu Jinlian didn't want her to give up. After thinking about it, she decided to tell the story, "Auntie knows that you have been wronged, but you have to know that this is all for your future happiness. Of course, you You know, the Night King has had this temper since he was a child, and it is considered good now."
Looking at the look on her aunt's face ready to recall the past, the frustrated expression on Cheng Dieyi's face subsided a little, and instead changed into a curious look, looking at her cunning aunt, waiting Her next words.
Sure enough, seeing Cheng Dieyi staring at her for a moment, Fu Jinlian struggled for a while, but still told the old stories. "Do you know how the Night King got his position?"
Cheng Dieyi nodded obediently. Of course, she knew that there was no one on this land who didn't know about this matter. Even because of this matter, many people began to fear the Night King.After all, no one is afraid of such a person who disowns his relatives and kills his relatives with his own hands.What's more, after he killed his relatives, he successfully inherited his father's position.
"Then do you know why he did that?"
Cheng Dieyi felt that this was a secret, something she shouldn't know, so she shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Seeing this, Fu Jinlian didn't say much, but smiled and said, "I'm just guessing about this, but from that little clue, I can also know how ruthless the Night King is."
When Cheng Dieyi heard her words, he was obviously more confused, and turned to look at her, his eyes were full of confusion.
Fu Jinlian didn't look at her at this time, but looked at the void not far away, as if looking at someone, her tone was full of nostalgia,
"You should know that the Night King is my nephew, and his biological father is my younger brother. My younger brother is a brother. He is beautiful, but his nature is unrestrained. Such a person, if he is a man, can make a fortune. Sifang, make a difference. It's a pity that he is a brother with such a face.
Later, for some reason, the old night king fell in love with him. That night king is a bastard, and he is only happy if he has to do everything according to his wishes.He has taken a fancy to my younger brother, and our family is not a wealthy family, so naturally we can't compete with him.Later, even though my brother didn't want to, our family handed him over. "
When Cheng Dieyi heard this, she squeezed the handkerchief tightly, as if she was a little afraid of hearing the story behind.
However, Fu Jinlian didn't like her, so she smiled and told the following story. "Naturally, the Night King doesn't like him like this. So, he resorted to some tricks to make my brother submit. Later, maybe it was because he couldn't stand this kind of stimulation, or he finally figured it out. My brother's temperament A big change, into a dissolute appearance.
That was also the last time I saw him, and when I heard about him again, it was when the Night King came to join me. "
Having said that, Shen Jinlian stopped, looked at Cheng Dieyi who was stunned, and asked slowly: "Do you know what the Night King looked like when I first saw him?"
Cheng Dieyi received so much news that he couldn't react, and shook his head mechanically when he heard the words.
Fu Jinlian didn't care, and continued to dig deep in the memory, and then said: "It was a boy under ten years old, and it seemed that only a skeleton was left on his body, and he said to me covered in blood, he is my son. My brother's child, my brother has been killed by his father, he wants me to keep him for a while.
At that time, I was already your uncle's wife, with a noble status and a bright future, how could I take care of a wild child of unknown origin.But when I saw his wolf-like eyes, I hesitated, left and right were just a matter of feeding a few more mouthfuls, so I agreed.Now it seems that the decision was actually quite correct.
Later, I found out that he was not only my brother's child, but also the old Night King's son.So, I raised him and didn't give him much expensive food, just to keep him from starving to death.After being raised like this for two years, when he was no longer so skinny and finally looked like a teenager, he suddenly disappeared.
Later, when I heard about him again, it was when he killed his father and replaced him as the new Night King.Do you remember my set of jewelry that everyone envied? "
Cheng Dieyi naturally remembered, if the aunt hadn't handed over the priceless and unique set, it would have been impossible for the two of them to escape from the man-eating wolf den.
"That's what someone sent to me after the current Night King succeeded to the throne. That's why I know that the wolf-like child has become the current Night King." Fu Jinlian patted her hand and continued:
"You have to know that to succeed in all these things, the half-grown boy needs to pay a lot of money and painstaking efforts, and what kind of cruel methods he has to succeed. So, even if he is indifferent to you, it is normal."
"Auntie, I get it." Cheng Dieyi listened to his aunt's story, partly because he thought the Night King was powerful, and partly because he thought the Night King was terrible.From having nothing in the past to now having everything and everyone is afraid, how hard must one's heart be to bear the bloody storm along the way?
Seeing that Cheng Dieyi listened to her own words, Fu Jinlian nodded in relief, and finally seemed to think of something, and explained, "I know you are a clever child, what we need now is Xu Xutuzhi, You have to be patient and don't show emotions you shouldn't have."
Cheng Dieyi nodded obediently upon hearing this.
……
In the next few days, Xiji used many sheets of paper before finally drawing a drawing he was satisfied with.Looking at the one in his hand, the craftsman should be able to tell what kind of structural drawing it is. Xiji stretched out his hand and flicked the edge of the paper in satisfaction, and happily called Bi Jiang over.
"My lord, what's the matter?" Bijiang stood in front of Xiji respectfully and asked him.
Seeing this, Xiji handed her the stack of papers on the table very happily, and said: "Give this thing to Master Ni, and let him build it according to the above pattern. If there is anything you don't understand, ask him to directly ask me."
"Yes." Upon hearing Xiji's order, Bi Jiang went out with her things without asking any further questions.
Xiji looked at Bijiang's back, and he felt that Bijiang was very reliable, as long as he entrusted her with the matter, she would be able to do well, and then come back to report to him.
Thinking of this, Xiji thought of his other maid. Speaking of it, he seemed to have not seen that bluffing little girl for a long time, so he looked at the second-class maid guarding beside him, and asked with some doubts: "Where's Lu Yin?"
Hearing Xiji's words, the maid looked flattered, but hesitated when she spoke.
Seeing this, Xiji said bluntly: "Since you know it, to be honest, what is there to be afraid of? If that little girl Lu Yin makes things difficult for you, I will definitely uphold justice for you."
The little maid was honest and responsible, she immediately waved her hand when she heard the words, and said anxiously: "Sister Luyin is not the kind of stingy person. It's just that my sister told me before she left that she would come back soon and said that we would not tell the young master. "
"So what is she going to do?" Still so derelict.
Seeing Xiji kept asking, the little girl's face was flushed, but she still told the story, "Sister Luyin said that she was going to see if Miss Cheng had added anything to the soup that she gave the young master every day. She , she's going to catch a current one."
When Xiji heard the words, he was amused by Lu Yin's bold and reckless behavior.Then I thought, it must be because I have received Cheng Dieyi who came to deliver the soup in the past few days, and treated that Cheng Dieyi a little more pleasantly, so I made this stingy maid hate her.
Thinking of this, Xiji shook his head helplessly, and decided to teach the girl a few words after she came back, otherwise, with this temper, she might cause trouble in the future.
After making up his mind, Xiji didn't bother with this matter anymore, instead he took a new piece of paper and began to plan how he would start working if the wine making equipment was ready.
Just when Xiji finished the last plan, Lu Yin ran back angrily.But the moment he saw Xiji, he calmed down and tried his best to pretend to be normal.
It's a pity that Xiji had already noticed her actions just now.I saw Xiji slowly putting the written paper aside and waiting for the ink to dry, while slowly raising his head to look at the greenery, he said casually: "The stalker is back?"
As soon as Lu Yin heard this, she knew that she had been betrayed, and immediately glared at the little maid who spoke just now, seeing her innocent appearance, she immediately became even angrier.
Seeing Lu Yin like this, Xiji immediately coughed, looked at her with a straight face, and said coldly: "Why don't you want to tell the truth? You are too courageous."
Lu Yin looked at Xiji's serious face and knew that she had crossed the line. Now that the young master knew about it, she no longer struggled.Immediately knelt down, looked at Xiji and said pitifully: "Master, I'm just worried about you."
Xiji looked at Lu Yin, who was kneeling on the ground, looking aggrieved, but instead of getting her up immediately, she said coldly, "Do you know where your fault is?"
"I shouldn't have left my post without permission, and I shouldn't have inquired about Miss Cheng." Of course, Lu Yin knew where she was wrong, so she said it very smoothly.
Xiji looked at the pitiful Lu Yin, and said with a bit of resentment: "Since you know, why do you want to do it again? You know, if you are more courageous, and you commit the crime in front of the Night King, even I will be ashamed." Can't save you."
It wasn't that he was useless to see the way the Night King looked at Lu Yin that day, but he didn't know the Night King didn't do anything, so he didn't know it, so as not to rush in front of the Night King and cause trouble for him for nothing.
Hearing Xiji mentioning the Night King, and thinking about the fate of those who made mistakes in the past, Lu Yin immediately trembled, and then said dejectedly: "Young master, I know my mistake, I will never dare again next time."
Seeing Lu Yin's frustrated face, Xiji couldn't bear to continue to be harsh.Now that he has learned the lesson, he feels that he still has to reason with her and let her understand why he doesn't care.
"I know you think that Miss Cheng is a threat to me. But first, you have to know that adults won't like her so easily. Second, that girl can't threaten me, not to mention my current paper factory. , even what I'm going to do is to make it easier for me to be manipulated by others. Thirdly, she and her aunt are just staying with us, they are just guests, and I am the host here. "
After Xiji finished speaking, he suddenly discovered that no matter when, career is the most powerful booster for people.If he didn't dare to say such big words before, but now if the King of the Night doesn't abide by their agreement that day, he can still get together and leave well, and take his own money and fly away.
It's just that he didn't dare to say the latter words, lest they reach the ears of the Night King that day, and he would be the one who suffered.
I don't know where Xiji's words hit Lu Yin's point. Seeing Xiji's affirmation, Lu Yin seemed to understand, and her apology was much more sincere than before, "I'm sorry son, I know I was wrong."
Seeing that she really knew she was wrong, Xiji seemed to be introspective, nodded in satisfaction, made her stand up, and looked at the guilty look on her face.Suddenly thought of a question, so I asked directly, "Why were you so angry when you came back just now?"
Seeing Xiji asked this, Lu Yin looked a little awkward, seemed a little embarrassed, but she still said what she was angry about, "I squatted in the kitchen for a long time, and saw that Miss Cheng was talking to the cook inside. What's more, she is quietly guarding the soup casserole, even the things she puts are ordinary, all prepared by the kitchen.
Seeing that the sky was almost getting dark, I came back, but on the way back, thinking that I had been outside for so long without finding anything useful, I started to get angry! "
Xiji was even joked by her, and couldn't help laughing: "You, you are really too petty."
After being told by Xiji, Lu Yin also began to blush. Now that she thinks about it, she is really stingy.
Just when Lu Yin was about to reflect on her mistakes again, there was a notification sound from outside, and it was the Lord who had just chanted, who had come at this time.
Seeing this, Lu Yin quickly stopped talking, straightened her clothes, put on a big girl's demeanor, and stood obediently beside Xiji, waiting for that Miss Cheng to arrive.
Soon, that Miss Cheng slowly walked in front of Xiji with slow steps, and when she saw Xiji who was sitting there with her clothes on her back, she showed a bright smile, "Young Master Xi."
Xiji's gaze shifted from her plain face to the box in her hand, and she couldn't help sighing: "Miss Cheng doesn't have to bother so much when she comes next time. If the girl continues to do this and give such troublesome gifts, I'm afraid I won't dare to let the girl in next time."
Cheng Dieyi was a little flustered when he heard the words, as if he didn't know what he did wrong, he stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do, he was nervous like a deer about to be killed by a hunter.
Looking at her pale face, Xiji suddenly felt that what she had done was a little unreasonable.First of all, she is just a helpless orphan girl, and even a grown man can't treat others as opponents.Secondly, she hasn't done anything outrageous so far. If she starts to target her like this, it will be unreasonable.
Therefore, Xiji slowed down his voice, looked at it and explained: "It's not that I don't welcome you. If Miss Cheng comes, I welcome you at any time. But since Miss Cheng is a guest of the house, naturally she shouldn't be so troublesome. That's not how the family treats guests."
Although he didn't know if the Yewang Mansion had any way of hospitality, but he felt that what he said was definitely not wrong.
Sure enough, after hearing Xiji's words, Cheng Dieyi's face gradually softened, and she looked at Xiji and said sincerely: "My aunt and I have no property at all. If the adults and the young master didn't take us in, I'm afraid we don't know where we are now. Where is it? I only have this skill to repay the young master, please don't dislike me."
Seeing Cheng Dieyi's humble and pitiful appearance, Xiji couldn't help sighing. He felt that facing such a girl, unless she was a vicious person, who would have the heart to criticize her!
However, even so, Xiji decided to reason with her, "But, it is the adults who took you in, not me. If you want to repay your kindness, you should go to the adults!"
Hearing Xiji's words, Cheng Dieyi showed a little embarrassed look on his face, and when he mentioned the Night King, there seemed to be a bit of fear on his face, "But, isn't your lord's favorite son the most?" ? I gave it to the son, and it's the same."
Hearing this, Xiji always felt that there was something wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong.So, without thinking too much, she sighed and asked Cheng Dieyi to sit down and talk. As for the things she brought, she asked the servants to take them down and put them away. Anyway, they will still be hot later.
Cheng Dieyi doesn't seem like a talkative person, and Xiji can also tell from her awkward behavior that she is trying hard to please herself.I sighed silently in my heart, life under the fence is really hard, so I looked at her and asked sincerely, "Miss Cheng, what are your plans for the future?"
The moment Xiji spoke, he saw Cheng Dieyi's pale face became more and more transparent, as if he was about to faint immediately.Xiji immediately reacted. His words sounded a bit like he was trying to drive people away, but in fact he was just asking. After all, he really didn't have any talent for making homework.
Knowing that she had misunderstood, Xiji quickly explained: "I don't want to do anything to you, I just want to ask if you have any plans for the future, so I can see if I can help you?"
Hearing Xiji's words, Cheng Dieyi sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it at all. When he raised his head again, he still had that pale and innocent expression on his face, and said pitifully, "Master, Now I am just a helpless orphan girl, my only wish is to find a lover to accompany me for the rest of my life, so that I can have someone to rely on."
Hearing her words, Xiji didn't feel much disgust. After all, living in this era is naturally constrained by the limitations of this era.Although there are also a few women who are brave and independent, most of them still live a life of caring for their husbands and raising their children.
So Siki looked at
After solving his doubts, the Night King laughed immediately, and instead of watching how Xiji rinsed his mouth, he walked slowly to the desk written by Xiji, casually picked up a piece of paper, and looked at the drawing on it. The crooked picture, with the writing on the side in a mess, with missing arms and short legs, couldn't help but chuckled, "It's really not even comparable to children's writing."
After reading all of Xiji's ghostly symbols, Xiji finally washed away the smell of ink in his mouth. While wiping his mouth with a cloth towel, he walked up to the Night King and asked suspiciously: "My lord, are you watching?" what?"
Hearing this, the Night King turned around to look at him, but did not put down the things in his hand, stared at him and said, "I see, your word needs to be practiced well. Not to mention compared to this king, just Even the words of an eight-year-old child can't compare."
Xiji followed his words and looked at the things in his hand. When he saw his crooked characters, he blushed and felt a little embarrassed.The characters used in this era are similar to the traditional traditional characters in ancient times. He disliked the trouble, so he still wrote simplified characters, but even so, his characters were not good-looking.
After all, as a new youth in the 21st century, he has learned a lot, but he really doesn't have time to learn this kind of thing that needs to be accumulated over time to practice.
His face was flushed, he stared at the piece of paper in the hands of the Night King, he didn't want to admit that his writing was ugly, so he forcefully argued: "Your Excellency is so powerful, how can I compare to it, I'm not a genius like Your Excellency. Besides What is written, others can see what it is, and there is no need for such high requirements.”
The Night King looked at him for a long time with a half-smile, and finally, after Xiji's face turned redder, he said, "You're right."
Hearing the words of the Night King, Xiji knew that the Night King was not going to entangle himself in this matter any more, and while he was relieved, he wanted to change the subject.But before he could speak, he heard the Night King ask again, "What are you planning to do again?"
Seeing the weirdly shaped utensils on the drawing, the Night King knew that Xiji wanted to make something new, but he had never seen this thing before, so naturally he didn't know what it was used for.
Seeing that the Night King asked about this, Xiji's eyes lit up immediately, and then picked up one of the best manuscript papers, looked at the Night King and explained: "I'm going to use this thing to make alcohol."
"What is that? It's the same as that wine?" At this time, the Night King already felt that there was nothing strange about Xiji's strange ideas from time to time, but when he heard this term, the first thing he wanted to know was the use of this thing .After the wine last time, the Night King thought that the alcohol that Xiji wanted to make this time was the same thing, so he asked directly.
Seeing that the Night King was interested in this thing, Xiji became more excited, and quickly shook his head and explained: "No, alcohol is not the kind of wine to drink."
Seeing that he had guessed wrong, the Night King raised his eyebrows calmly.
Xiji couldn't see the expression of the Night King, so he naturally didn't know what he was thinking at this time, and then said happily: "But it is a very useful thing. If you have that thing, you don't need that expensive soup to disinfect it. Applying that thing directly to the wound can inhibit the intrusion of those Gu insects and evil spirits, and reduce the chance of infection and festering."
Originally, Xiji wanted to talk about bacteria, but he also understood that people in this era did not understand that kind of thing, so he changed the term.
The Night King just started to ask questions, just out of curiosity about what little things Sigi had got. After Sigi finished speaking, he began to think about the usefulness of this thing, and even his eyes gradually became darker.
It is a terrible thing for people in this era to get sick, and it is not a trivial matter for a wound to fester. Once the wound becomes inflamed and festered, what awaits him is either he recovers after taking medicine, or the piece of rotten meat is cruelly dug out. Go, it still shows.Even when such a small wound appeared, many people did not pay attention to it, and eventually developed pus and infection, and developed a fever from the small wound, and finally died.
Therefore, when Xiji said that this thing can prevent festering, the attitude of the Night King was different immediately.At first, I was thinking that if it was something that took a lot of energy and energy, I forced Xiji to do it after he recovered from his injury.
Right now, he wanted Xiji to come out earlier, as it was winter and there was no fighting.But when the spring begins, those enemies who are ready to move will not be so peaceful. If Xiji can get that thing out, it will be of great use at that time.
It's just that the Night King looked at the bruises on Siji's face, the crutches in his hand to support his walking, and his tightly wrapped feet. The Night King, who was doing whatever he wanted for the first time, hesitated rarely.
Seeing that the Night King did not say a word after listening to his own words, but instead stared at him and became dazed, Xiji asked a little puzzled: "My lord?"
"Forget it, it's okay." Anyway, the war won't start for a while, so he'd better wait for Xiji's leg injury to heal before mentioning this matter.
Xiji didn't know the heaviness in his words at all, seeing the Night King finally answered, so he went on to talk about his plan, "I plan to let the craftsman fix all the utensils I want first, and then use them while it's not very cold. I will make a batch first, and make another batch of white wine by the way, and the white wine will be ready to drink by this time next year. However, I am a little confused now. I don’t know if those farmers have so much grain in their homes. What I need Can several types of food be bought?"
The paper shop has brought him huge profits, so in his opinion, money is not a problem at all.The difficulty lies in whether I can receive so many things.
The Night King looked at Xiji's excited look at this time, and didn't interrupt him, but instead asked, "What food do you need?"
Hearing the question from the Night King, Xiji immediately listed the crops he needed in his impression, "Sweet potatoes, corn, wheat... some of them are used for alcohol, and some are used for wine making .”
Hearing these items listed by Siji, the Night King's originally frowning brows relaxed a little bit, and finally looked at the worried Xiji who didn't know what to do, hooked the corners of his lips, and said lightly: "You don't need to buy it. gone."
Hearing his words, Xiji was a little confused, so she raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were full of doubts.
Seeing Xiji staring at him like a curious deer, Night King's mood obviously became better, so he continued: "You can go to the warehouse to get these things directly, you don't need to buy them."
Hearing this, Xiji's eyes lit up.In this era, the Night King is the master of this territory, and those things collected from all directions and put into the warehouse are naturally his property, so how to deal with it is naturally up to him.
It's just that after a moment of happiness, Xiji was still a little entangled, looked at the Night King and said embarrassingly: "Is this going to be bad, what should I do if there is a famine or other disasters down there? "
The Night King looked at the worrying Xiji, with an expression of caring for a silly child on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "There are enough things in the warehouse, you don't have to worry so much, just use them."
Although Xiji is still a little worried, after all, if you use grain to make wine, whether it is medical alcohol or liquor, you need a very large amount.But seeing the confident and confident appearance of the Night King, he no longer refuses him.He just thought that if there were not many things in the warehouse by then, he might as well go and buy some by himself.At worst, he would just buy less and make less.
It's just that he never expected that when he took Lu Yin and the others to see the grain inventory, he would be shocked by the grain piled up in several large granaries, and casually remembered the way the Night King looked at him at that time.That's not looking at the expression of an ignorant child, but the expression of an idiot.
But that was all later. After temporarily solving the food problem, Xiji was still very happy. He didn't care that he didn't make a complete vessel, but pulled the Night King and said happily: "My lord, let's eat first. I specially ordered the cook to make you like braised lion's head and spicy chicken."
The Night King watched Siji pulling himself hard while moving towards the dining table with a cane, and shook his head in disapproval, as if he was not very satisfied with his speed.So, Pa pulled his hand, and under his strange eyes, put his arms around his waist, let him lean on her, and quickly walked towards the edge of the dining table.
Xiji was a little flustered at the beginning, but when she discovered the strength of the Night King and was holding herself steadily, she was not so flustered, and instead put most of her weight on the Night King with confidence.
Xiji is not able to cook in Fuchu every day. With the expansion of his authority in Fuchu and more and more things to do, he often cannot cook dinner.Fortunately, when he was cooking, he didn't shy away from other people learning his skills secretly, and even took time to point out a few words when he saw that they didn't learn the essentials.Therefore, even if it is made by other cooks, it has a little bit of Xiji's true biography, which is barely enough.
After Xiji said that the meal was going to be served, the kitchen quickly brought over all the dishes they wanted to eat today.
Just as the two of them looked at the three dishes and one soup in front of them and were about to eat, there was a notification from the servants outside the door.Xiji was a little curious, who would come here at such a time, and Xiji was a little confused when he knew that it was Cheng Dieyi who came over from the servant's narration.
At this time, she didn't eat in her own yard, so she ran here to do something.
Compared to Xiji's doubts, the Night King looked extraordinarily calm. Looking at the servant who came in, he asked straightforwardly, "What is she here for?"
The servant saw that it was Ye Wang who asked the question, and his bent back looked even lower, but he still said in detail what he knew: "Miss Chen said that she specially made nourishing soup for the young master. Drinking the decoction while it’s hot has the effect of setting bones, that’s why I’m running here now.”
When Xiji heard the words, she felt that it was too difficult for her. Obviously, it was enough for the servants to send this kind of thing, but she came here by herself.I just wanted my servants to invite people in, otherwise it would have been freezing in this cold weather.
Before he could open his mouth, he heard a sneer from beside him, followed by Night King's unique cold voice, with a hint of anger, "Let her leave the things and go back." He doesn't like people While eating, interrupt yourself.
"Yes." The servant ran out immediately after hearing the order, not daring to delay for a moment.
By doing this, Ye Wang undoubtedly embarrassed Miss Cheng who came to deliver the soup.Xiji didn't understand. Judging by the appearance of the Night King, he should not be very close to that aunt. If he followed his usual temperament, that person should have been kicked out by the Night King long ago, and he would definitely not let them stay until today. .
It's just that the Night King didn't give them a good look, nor did he deliberately make things difficult for them. Instead, he let them stay, which made Xiji feel a little confused about what the Night King was thinking for a moment.
After the Night King finished giving his orders, he turned his head and saw Xiji staring at him intently. His exquisite face was full of doubts, but his voice was a little warmer than before: "What's wrong?"
Xiji pursed her lips, not knowing whether she should ask, and there were so many servants around, so it would be bad if there were some words that should not be said.Thinking about it, Xiji shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
The Night King didn't know whether he really believed it or not, and he didn't continue to ask, and said calmly: "Let's eat."
"Ah."
The two of them picked up a chopstick of food, and the servant who had gone out to pass it on came back with an exquisite food box in his hand, which seemed to be prepared on purpose.
Xiji looked at the food box, and when he wanted to see what was inside, he heard the Night King next to him speak again, "Take it down and deal with it, and next time you take this kind of thing away, it's no better than giving it to the young master. "
"Yes." Although he didn't understand the intricate relationship between the master and the master, but the servant was obedient enough, so he didn't bring the thing in front of them, but turned around and left.
Xiji was even more puzzled this minute, and more and more sure of his guess.It's just that he blinked his big eyes, stared at the Night King who was eating food calmly, and finally decided not to ask any more questions.Forget it, adults always have their reasons for doing this.
When Xiji figured it out and was about to bury his head in his meal and try to draw the design later later, suddenly a chopstick was stretched out in front of him, with a chopstick of fish stuck on it.
When the red and white, sour-smelling fish fell into his bowl, the Night King's unusually familiar voice came from Siji's ear, "The fish did a good job today."
Xiji took a sip, and he didn't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that the fish tasted very sweet, so he nodded accordingly, and even turned his head to show a silly smile at the Night King. .
The Night King looked at him with a little red sauce on the corner of his mouth, but he smiled very foolishly. The mood that was spoiled by the woman without long eyes just now became better, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth involuntarily widened.
……
The two of them had a sweet dinner, and Cheng Dieyi on the other end turned pale for a moment when he learned that the Night King asked her to hand in the things and told her to leave, but he was still very good-tempered Facing the servant who came, he said politely, "Thank you."
What the servant often sees in the mansion are either ferocious guards or maidservants with low brows. It is rare to see such a weak woman who is too weak to be vulnerable. Naturally, when facing her, her tone is unavoidably softer.Looking at the weak woman in front of him, and seeing her pale face that was almost transparent, the boy couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but persuade: "It's cold, girl, you should go back early."
Hearing this, Cheng Dieyi blushed slightly, and said politely to him, "Thank you."
After Cheng Dieyi left with the maid beside him with a disappointed face, the servant looked at the food box in his hand and sighed silently.
Cheng Dieyi kept a look of disappointment, and returned to the courtyard where she and her aunt lived.Originally, she was mentally prepared, knowing that she might not be able to enter the courtyard, but when this scene happened, and it happened in full view, she still felt very embarrassed.
After returning to the courtyard and retreating the crowd, she turned to Fu Jinlian who had been sitting there with a pitiful look, "Auntie."
"What's wrong?" Seeing her aggrieved expression, Fu Jinlian immediately took her hand, let her sit beside her, and asked carefully: "But why did you suffer?"
Cheng Dieyi nodded slightly when he heard the words, as a tacit consent to her words.
Seeing her like this, Fu Jinlian didn't want her to give up. After thinking about it, she decided to tell the story, "Auntie knows that you have been wronged, but you have to know that this is all for your future happiness. Of course, you You know, the Night King has had this temper since he was a child, and it is considered good now."
Looking at the look on her aunt's face ready to recall the past, the frustrated expression on Cheng Dieyi's face subsided a little, and instead changed into a curious look, looking at her cunning aunt, waiting Her next words.
Sure enough, seeing Cheng Dieyi staring at her for a moment, Fu Jinlian struggled for a while, but still told the old stories. "Do you know how the Night King got his position?"
Cheng Dieyi nodded obediently. Of course, she knew that there was no one on this land who didn't know about this matter. Even because of this matter, many people began to fear the Night King.After all, no one is afraid of such a person who disowns his relatives and kills his relatives with his own hands.What's more, after he killed his relatives, he successfully inherited his father's position.
"Then do you know why he did that?"
Cheng Dieyi felt that this was a secret, something she shouldn't know, so she shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Seeing this, Fu Jinlian didn't say much, but smiled and said, "I'm just guessing about this, but from that little clue, I can also know how ruthless the Night King is."
When Cheng Dieyi heard her words, he was obviously more confused, and turned to look at her, his eyes were full of confusion.
Fu Jinlian didn't look at her at this time, but looked at the void not far away, as if looking at someone, her tone was full of nostalgia,
"You should know that the Night King is my nephew, and his biological father is my younger brother. My younger brother is a brother. He is beautiful, but his nature is unrestrained. Such a person, if he is a man, can make a fortune. Sifang, make a difference. It's a pity that he is a brother with such a face.
Later, for some reason, the old night king fell in love with him. That night king is a bastard, and he is only happy if he has to do everything according to his wishes.He has taken a fancy to my younger brother, and our family is not a wealthy family, so naturally we can't compete with him.Later, even though my brother didn't want to, our family handed him over. "
When Cheng Dieyi heard this, she squeezed the handkerchief tightly, as if she was a little afraid of hearing the story behind.
However, Fu Jinlian didn't like her, so she smiled and told the following story. "Naturally, the Night King doesn't like him like this. So, he resorted to some tricks to make my brother submit. Later, maybe it was because he couldn't stand this kind of stimulation, or he finally figured it out. My brother's temperament A big change, into a dissolute appearance.
That was also the last time I saw him, and when I heard about him again, it was when the Night King came to join me. "
Having said that, Shen Jinlian stopped, looked at Cheng Dieyi who was stunned, and asked slowly: "Do you know what the Night King looked like when I first saw him?"
Cheng Dieyi received so much news that he couldn't react, and shook his head mechanically when he heard the words.
Fu Jinlian didn't care, and continued to dig deep in the memory, and then said: "It was a boy under ten years old, and it seemed that only a skeleton was left on his body, and he said to me covered in blood, he is my son. My brother's child, my brother has been killed by his father, he wants me to keep him for a while.
At that time, I was already your uncle's wife, with a noble status and a bright future, how could I take care of a wild child of unknown origin.But when I saw his wolf-like eyes, I hesitated, left and right were just a matter of feeding a few more mouthfuls, so I agreed.Now it seems that the decision was actually quite correct.
Later, I found out that he was not only my brother's child, but also the old Night King's son.So, I raised him and didn't give him much expensive food, just to keep him from starving to death.After being raised like this for two years, when he was no longer so skinny and finally looked like a teenager, he suddenly disappeared.
Later, when I heard about him again, it was when he killed his father and replaced him as the new Night King.Do you remember my set of jewelry that everyone envied? "
Cheng Dieyi naturally remembered, if the aunt hadn't handed over the priceless and unique set, it would have been impossible for the two of them to escape from the man-eating wolf den.
"That's what someone sent to me after the current Night King succeeded to the throne. That's why I know that the wolf-like child has become the current Night King." Fu Jinlian patted her hand and continued:
"You have to know that to succeed in all these things, the half-grown boy needs to pay a lot of money and painstaking efforts, and what kind of cruel methods he has to succeed. So, even if he is indifferent to you, it is normal."
"Auntie, I get it." Cheng Dieyi listened to his aunt's story, partly because he thought the Night King was powerful, and partly because he thought the Night King was terrible.From having nothing in the past to now having everything and everyone is afraid, how hard must one's heart be to bear the bloody storm along the way?
Seeing that Cheng Dieyi listened to her own words, Fu Jinlian nodded in relief, and finally seemed to think of something, and explained, "I know you are a clever child, what we need now is Xu Xutuzhi, You have to be patient and don't show emotions you shouldn't have."
Cheng Dieyi nodded obediently upon hearing this.
……
In the next few days, Xiji used many sheets of paper before finally drawing a drawing he was satisfied with.Looking at the one in his hand, the craftsman should be able to tell what kind of structural drawing it is. Xiji stretched out his hand and flicked the edge of the paper in satisfaction, and happily called Bi Jiang over.
"My lord, what's the matter?" Bijiang stood in front of Xiji respectfully and asked him.
Seeing this, Xiji handed her the stack of papers on the table very happily, and said: "Give this thing to Master Ni, and let him build it according to the above pattern. If there is anything you don't understand, ask him to directly ask me."
"Yes." Upon hearing Xiji's order, Bi Jiang went out with her things without asking any further questions.
Xiji looked at Bijiang's back, and he felt that Bijiang was very reliable, as long as he entrusted her with the matter, she would be able to do well, and then come back to report to him.
Thinking of this, Xiji thought of his other maid. Speaking of it, he seemed to have not seen that bluffing little girl for a long time, so he looked at the second-class maid guarding beside him, and asked with some doubts: "Where's Lu Yin?"
Hearing Xiji's words, the maid looked flattered, but hesitated when she spoke.
Seeing this, Xiji said bluntly: "Since you know it, to be honest, what is there to be afraid of? If that little girl Lu Yin makes things difficult for you, I will definitely uphold justice for you."
The little maid was honest and responsible, she immediately waved her hand when she heard the words, and said anxiously: "Sister Luyin is not the kind of stingy person. It's just that my sister told me before she left that she would come back soon and said that we would not tell the young master. "
"So what is she going to do?" Still so derelict.
Seeing Xiji kept asking, the little girl's face was flushed, but she still told the story, "Sister Luyin said that she was going to see if Miss Cheng had added anything to the soup that she gave the young master every day. She , she's going to catch a current one."
When Xiji heard the words, he was amused by Lu Yin's bold and reckless behavior.Then I thought, it must be because I have received Cheng Dieyi who came to deliver the soup in the past few days, and treated that Cheng Dieyi a little more pleasantly, so I made this stingy maid hate her.
Thinking of this, Xiji shook his head helplessly, and decided to teach the girl a few words after she came back, otherwise, with this temper, she might cause trouble in the future.
After making up his mind, Xiji didn't bother with this matter anymore, instead he took a new piece of paper and began to plan how he would start working if the wine making equipment was ready.
Just when Xiji finished the last plan, Lu Yin ran back angrily.But the moment he saw Xiji, he calmed down and tried his best to pretend to be normal.
It's a pity that Xiji had already noticed her actions just now.I saw Xiji slowly putting the written paper aside and waiting for the ink to dry, while slowly raising his head to look at the greenery, he said casually: "The stalker is back?"
As soon as Lu Yin heard this, she knew that she had been betrayed, and immediately glared at the little maid who spoke just now, seeing her innocent appearance, she immediately became even angrier.
Seeing Lu Yin like this, Xiji immediately coughed, looked at her with a straight face, and said coldly: "Why don't you want to tell the truth? You are too courageous."
Lu Yin looked at Xiji's serious face and knew that she had crossed the line. Now that the young master knew about it, she no longer struggled.Immediately knelt down, looked at Xiji and said pitifully: "Master, I'm just worried about you."
Xiji looked at Lu Yin, who was kneeling on the ground, looking aggrieved, but instead of getting her up immediately, she said coldly, "Do you know where your fault is?"
"I shouldn't have left my post without permission, and I shouldn't have inquired about Miss Cheng." Of course, Lu Yin knew where she was wrong, so she said it very smoothly.
Xiji looked at the pitiful Lu Yin, and said with a bit of resentment: "Since you know, why do you want to do it again? You know, if you are more courageous, and you commit the crime in front of the Night King, even I will be ashamed." Can't save you."
It wasn't that he was useless to see the way the Night King looked at Lu Yin that day, but he didn't know the Night King didn't do anything, so he didn't know it, so as not to rush in front of the Night King and cause trouble for him for nothing.
Hearing Xiji mentioning the Night King, and thinking about the fate of those who made mistakes in the past, Lu Yin immediately trembled, and then said dejectedly: "Young master, I know my mistake, I will never dare again next time."
Seeing Lu Yin's frustrated face, Xiji couldn't bear to continue to be harsh.Now that he has learned the lesson, he feels that he still has to reason with her and let her understand why he doesn't care.
"I know you think that Miss Cheng is a threat to me. But first, you have to know that adults won't like her so easily. Second, that girl can't threaten me, not to mention my current paper factory. , even what I'm going to do is to make it easier for me to be manipulated by others. Thirdly, she and her aunt are just staying with us, they are just guests, and I am the host here. "
After Xiji finished speaking, he suddenly discovered that no matter when, career is the most powerful booster for people.If he didn't dare to say such big words before, but now if the King of the Night doesn't abide by their agreement that day, he can still get together and leave well, and take his own money and fly away.
It's just that he didn't dare to say the latter words, lest they reach the ears of the Night King that day, and he would be the one who suffered.
I don't know where Xiji's words hit Lu Yin's point. Seeing Xiji's affirmation, Lu Yin seemed to understand, and her apology was much more sincere than before, "I'm sorry son, I know I was wrong."
Seeing that she really knew she was wrong, Xiji seemed to be introspective, nodded in satisfaction, made her stand up, and looked at the guilty look on her face.Suddenly thought of a question, so I asked directly, "Why were you so angry when you came back just now?"
Seeing Xiji asked this, Lu Yin looked a little awkward, seemed a little embarrassed, but she still said what she was angry about, "I squatted in the kitchen for a long time, and saw that Miss Cheng was talking to the cook inside. What's more, she is quietly guarding the soup casserole, even the things she puts are ordinary, all prepared by the kitchen.
Seeing that the sky was almost getting dark, I came back, but on the way back, thinking that I had been outside for so long without finding anything useful, I started to get angry! "
Xiji was even joked by her, and couldn't help laughing: "You, you are really too petty."
After being told by Xiji, Lu Yin also began to blush. Now that she thinks about it, she is really stingy.
Just when Lu Yin was about to reflect on her mistakes again, there was a notification sound from outside, and it was the Lord who had just chanted, who had come at this time.
Seeing this, Lu Yin quickly stopped talking, straightened her clothes, put on a big girl's demeanor, and stood obediently beside Xiji, waiting for that Miss Cheng to arrive.
Soon, that Miss Cheng slowly walked in front of Xiji with slow steps, and when she saw Xiji who was sitting there with her clothes on her back, she showed a bright smile, "Young Master Xi."
Xiji's gaze shifted from her plain face to the box in her hand, and she couldn't help sighing: "Miss Cheng doesn't have to bother so much when she comes next time. If the girl continues to do this and give such troublesome gifts, I'm afraid I won't dare to let the girl in next time."
Cheng Dieyi was a little flustered when he heard the words, as if he didn't know what he did wrong, he stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do, he was nervous like a deer about to be killed by a hunter.
Looking at her pale face, Xiji suddenly felt that what she had done was a little unreasonable.First of all, she is just a helpless orphan girl, and even a grown man can't treat others as opponents.Secondly, she hasn't done anything outrageous so far. If she starts to target her like this, it will be unreasonable.
Therefore, Xiji slowed down his voice, looked at it and explained: "It's not that I don't welcome you. If Miss Cheng comes, I welcome you at any time. But since Miss Cheng is a guest of the house, naturally she shouldn't be so troublesome. That's not how the family treats guests."
Although he didn't know if the Yewang Mansion had any way of hospitality, but he felt that what he said was definitely not wrong.
Sure enough, after hearing Xiji's words, Cheng Dieyi's face gradually softened, and she looked at Xiji and said sincerely: "My aunt and I have no property at all. If the adults and the young master didn't take us in, I'm afraid we don't know where we are now. Where is it? I only have this skill to repay the young master, please don't dislike me."
Seeing Cheng Dieyi's humble and pitiful appearance, Xiji couldn't help sighing. He felt that facing such a girl, unless she was a vicious person, who would have the heart to criticize her!
However, even so, Xiji decided to reason with her, "But, it is the adults who took you in, not me. If you want to repay your kindness, you should go to the adults!"
Hearing Xiji's words, Cheng Dieyi showed a little embarrassed look on his face, and when he mentioned the Night King, there seemed to be a bit of fear on his face, "But, isn't your lord's favorite son the most?" ? I gave it to the son, and it's the same."
Hearing this, Xiji always felt that there was something wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong.So, without thinking too much, she sighed and asked Cheng Dieyi to sit down and talk. As for the things she brought, she asked the servants to take them down and put them away. Anyway, they will still be hot later.
Cheng Dieyi doesn't seem like a talkative person, and Xiji can also tell from her awkward behavior that she is trying hard to please herself.I sighed silently in my heart, life under the fence is really hard, so I looked at her and asked sincerely, "Miss Cheng, what are your plans for the future?"
The moment Xiji spoke, he saw Cheng Dieyi's pale face became more and more transparent, as if he was about to faint immediately.Xiji immediately reacted. His words sounded a bit like he was trying to drive people away, but in fact he was just asking. After all, he really didn't have any talent for making homework.
Knowing that she had misunderstood, Xiji quickly explained: "I don't want to do anything to you, I just want to ask if you have any plans for the future, so I can see if I can help you?"
Hearing Xiji's words, Cheng Dieyi sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it at all. When he raised his head again, he still had that pale and innocent expression on his face, and said pitifully, "Master, Now I am just a helpless orphan girl, my only wish is to find a lover to accompany me for the rest of my life, so that I can have someone to rely on."
Hearing her words, Xiji didn't feel much disgust. After all, living in this era is naturally constrained by the limitations of this era.Although there are also a few women who are brave and independent, most of them still live a life of caring for their husbands and raising their children.
