Do you still want it, son?

Chapter 76 It's Raining

The man who was ushered into the door was of medium build, wearing a short shirt, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.As soon as he entered the yard, he looked back and forth, looking for the figures of the cook and the little girl.

Qingyun warned in a low voice, "Don't look around, keep your eyes on yourself."

The man was taken aback by his cold tone, and seeing the unkind eyes of the guards standing beside him, he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look any further.

After a while, the cook also came in through the door with a pale face and the little girl in her arms. When she saw the man in the yard, the little girl opened her eyes and called out, but the cook was shaking all over.

Catecha stood at the door, and when he saw that everyone was here, he turned back into the house and stopped in front of Ji Xiao, "Master, people are here."

Ji Xiao nodded, then lowered his head to look at A Yuan.He was eating meat with his small mouth bulging, and two or three grains of rice were sticking to his white and soft cheeks, moving around with the meat on A Yuan's face.Ji Xiao put down the chopsticks in his hand, fiddled with A Yuan's face a few times with his fingertips, picked off the rice grains, and then said to the star anise, "Come here and watch A Yuan eat."

Bajiao responded quickly, and walked quickly to A Yuan in small steps. A Yuan tilted his head to watch Ji Xiao walk out of the door.

At this time, a woman's low sobs could be heard in the yard.

This spring went out first, stood on the high steps and looked down, reprimanded, "What does it look like to cry? I don't know, I thought it was Prince Ping's mansion who owed you something."

Her tone was so cold that the people below did not dare to move too much, and her voice seemed to be choked in an instant, and there were teardrops hanging on her face if she was about to cry or not.

The matter was easy to say, and the man took the initiative to explain it.

"The little one and Chun Xing are husband and wife, and Ah Qin is our daughter. She lives in Heding City. She opened a small restaurant based on Chun Xing's craftsmanship. Life is going smoothly. I took a concubine last year. I was born the month before last. Having a son, Chun Xing was not happy about it, and ran out with Ah Qin, the younger one came here specially to find her this time, hope, sir, please do me a favor and let our family reunite."

The man knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

The little girl named Ah Qin struggled and twisted in the cook's arms, obviously wanting to go to her father.

The cook was sore, she gritted her teeth and kowtowed to Ji Xiao, "Master, I married him at the age of 16, and it has been eight years now, besides Ah Qin, I also gave birth to him a seven-year-old son. I was the only one supporting the restaurant, it’s nothing, but he slept with a servant girl at home and gave birth to a child, I can’t swallow this breath.”

When the man heard this, he became anxious, and said, "Can the things between me and Alan be the same as mine and you? She is just a concubine, and she is a concubine when we arrive, and she gave birth to a son." He paused, feeling that he said Here I also suddenly looked like a big shot, "That child is also a bastard, our Brother Hao is the one who will inherit the family business in the future, what are you afraid of? I will let her serve you when I get home."

The cook bit her lip and bowed her head in silence. Ah Qin was struggling so hard that she had to let go of her hand, and let her quickly run to the man's side, hugging his neck and calling softly, "Daddy."

The man hugged Ah Qin, his eyes were red, he kissed the little girl several times, and then turned to persuade the cook, "Chun Xing, you and I go back, let's live a good life, the restaurant over there It's okay if you don't go, the disciples on the left and right have been brought out, and we two will enjoy happiness at home together, with Ah Qin and Brother Hao, are you willing to leave Brother Hao behind?"

This is because the parents are short-sighted and it is difficult to make a decision. Ji Xiao has a headache when he hears this, and it is not something he can satisfy with a single sentence.

It's just that this incident made him feel something else. The cook is capable of living on her own. It's okay to say, but the couple who married for nearly ten years still took a concubine and gave birth to a child.

Ji Xiao frowned, turned his toes to one side, "Go to another yard to discuss, let me know the result if you have the result, and make it clear if you want to go." After he finished speaking, he walked towards the inner room.

A Yuan ate two small bowls of food, rinsed his mouth and wiped his face, and went to find Ji Xiao by himself.When he got to the table, he leaned on the stool and looked at him sideways.

Sitting in the room, Ji Xiao sewed small clothes with a needle and thread in his hand, looked down at A Yuan, and asked with a smile, "Are you full?"

"Full," A Yuan nodded, touched his round belly again, took advantage of the opportunity and sat down on the soft blanket laid by catechu and clove, rolled around and lay on his back, rubbing his own ears play.

After about two quarters of an hour, Jinchun walked in from the outside and told Ji Xiao the result of the cook.

"I've already packed my things and prepared to go back with her man. I just said that I would come over to apologize, but the servant didn't let me come. The monthly money was also paid to her, and it was discounted according to the number of days."

Ji Xiao put down the piece of cloth in his hand, looked at the sky outside, then looked away, and sighed, "I really followed back."

"What's so strange about this?" Jinchun sat down next to him, picked up his sewing frame, and said while working, "I must go back. First, I didn't get married, and the second concubine's room was right, and the third The man is not difficult to get along with, but the cook is a fool."

Catecha answered, "I think that cook is a poor woman."

Ji Xiao listened and did not speak.

Jinchun smiled, "Who says she isn't pitiful? She is pitiful, but she is also so stupid. She ran out like this, and she didn't talk about it. Now she has to go back with her. After going back, her in-laws must be ugly. Come out like this." Hey, I didn't earn any benefits for myself, but instead got a reputation of being jealous."

Catecha was taken aback for a moment, and Ding Xiang next to her answered briskly, "Sister Jinchun said yes, but this reminds me of an interesting incident. In the past, there was a little daughter-in-law in our village who was a good hand both inside and out. But she couldn't bear children, and later her man couldn't stand it and married another, and a pair of big fat boys were born in the second year, and the parents-in-law wanted to fight for a rightful position for the grandson, so they ordered the man to divorce the main wife. With a sigh of relief, he reconciled with him without a break, and married a single and honest man within a year, who would have imagined it," Ding Xiang said before she finished speaking, and she was happy first, "Who would have thought that she would also marry him the next year? Then some gave birth, it turned out that it wasn't that she couldn't bear children in the past, it was that her man had something wrong with him."

"Then what about his man and that little wife's child?" Catech Na Na said halfway through, and she also reacted, and couldn't help laughing, only saying that there will be retribution in heaven.

Ji Xiao pursed his lips to feel a little interest, then shook his head, returned to the matter of the cook, and said, "Not to mention, that little girl is a poor child."

"Who says it's not," Ding Xiang replied briskly, "It's too timid to be timid, most of the female dolls raised outside are like this, there is nothing else to say."

Ji Xiao lowered his head to look at A Yuan who was playing happily on the cushion, heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart, and also sighed inexplicably.

If he never met Jin He again, A Yuan's temperament might not be able to escape from that little girl.Not to mention A Yuan, even his own temperament may become more and more timid and afraid to act.

But this is the time to sigh, and it's only because he is standing taller now, and the position is heavier.

The girls joked a little more, seeing Ji Xiao didn't speak again this spring, with a thoughtful look on his face, thinking that he took the matter of the cook to heart.

"You don't need to think about the cook." Jinchun lowered his head and just walked the needle, and the words he said were light and light as if he didn't care, "No matter how capable you are, you can't change your weakness."

Ji Xiao was completely different from that cook, and this spring couldn't understand it better.His temper looks soft, but he may not be really weak. If the same thing happens to Ji Xiao, he might be able to take the child in his stomach and A Yuan to the ends of the world and disappear. Where can I leave one back for someone.

Ji Xiao understood the meaning of this spring, and a smile appeared on his face, "I didn't think about her." He paused, and then glanced at the gradually darkening sky outside, "The dark clouds in the sky seem to be about to rain, If it rains again, the weather will definitely get colder."

I don't know if it will be raining when Jinhe comes back later, and the kitchen should prepare ginger soup.

Just as the words were being said, a young servant suddenly came outside in a hurry and stopped at the door.

Seeing this, Catech walked out quickly, stood and whispered a few words to the young man, the young man nodded and remembered everything, then turned around quickly and went back.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiao asked.

Catech came back with a smile, looking into Ji Xiao's eyes, and said, "It's from the outer courtyard. The prince asked him to ask if the lunch was good today, how much he ate, and whether it suits his appetite."

Ding Xiang laughed together with Catech, his tone was full of teasing, "The prince treats you like a child, but he doesn't accompany him for a meal, so he doesn't feel at ease here, and he doesn't feel at ease there."

Ji Xiao's cheeks were slightly rosy, and what he told them was helpless and sweet, and he asked, "Then how did you reply?"

"Tell me the truth," Catecha looked at Ji Xiao and said with a smile, "I just said that I didn't eat much at noon today, about half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of soup, and I didn't eat the rest."

Ji Xiao was a little helpless and anxious, "Oh, you fool, you don't know how to hide it for me, and let people go back to Jinhe like this, he still doesn't know what to think."

Ding Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, "What are you afraid of, my lord, if I want to scold you, I will scold those in the kitchen, how can I be willing to scold you?"

Both Ding Xiang and Catecha had heard Shen Huai holding Ji Xiao in the warm tent and calling him a sweetheart, at this moment they looked at each other, knew what the other was thinking without saying anything, and laughed together.

Ji Xiao was so teased by them that he had no choice but to lower his head. A Yuan was already lying on the cushion and fell asleep, with his hands and feet spread out, looking like a "big".

outer courtyard.

Wen Chong looked at Shen Huai who was standing with his hands behind his back and looked outside the door, and asked with a chuckle, "My lord just didn't go back for lunch, why is it like losing his soul?"

Shen Huai turned his head and gave Wen Chong a sidelong glance, but ignored him.

Wen Chong was not discouraged, instead he took a step forward and said, "No matter how fast the boy goes, it takes three quarters of an hour to go back and forth. You might as well go back by yourself."

Shen Huai closed his eyes, endured the throbbing veins on his forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't there enough documents for you to read?"

Wen Chong returned to his original position in two or three steps, and laughed, "It's enough for me to read, but I get a headache when I read these words. I read it all night last night. How can it compare to Mr. An?"

An Yuan lowered his head and silently flipped through the paperwork in his hand, raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Wen Chong expressionlessly, "Did Mr. Wen enjoy playing in Goulan Courtyard last night?"

"Goulan Courtyard?" Shen Huai turned around and looked at Wen Chong suspiciously, "Last night you told me that you read the paperwork and saw it in the middle of the night, and you lied to me?"

Wen Chong jumped up, his butt off the bench, and stared at An Yuan, "Well, you An Yuan, when you met me yesterday, you said that you would help me keep a lie, but now you expose me because of a disagreement?"

An Yuan closed the document in his hand, smiled slightly, changed another document and stopped talking.

Shen Huai looked sideways at Wen Chong, and said in a cold voice, "You are a thief who always takes credit, but now you dare to lie to me?"

"It's not cheating, isn't it?" Wen Chong Xiaoyi leaned closer to Shen Huai, "There are everyone in the Goulan courtyard, and there are too many miscellaneous things. I went to inquire about the letter, so how could it be considered nonsense."

Shen Huai was about to hit Wen Chong's playful smile with a palm, when the boy outside ran back with sweat, he immediately stopped and turned his head to look.

"Report to the lord," the servant bent over, and repeated in a low voice what catecha had just said to him, "My lord doesn't eat much at noon, half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of soup, and the rest is for the young prince to eat." gone."

Shen Huai thought of A Yuan's little cunning, and didn't mean anything to the result, so he just laughed, "He will eat."

He looked at the sky again, it was so dark that it looked like it was going to rain in the next moment.Shen Huai followed and looked back at the mountains of paperwork on the table, and finally couldn't keep it anymore, "You guys look at it first, and if it doesn't work, go back first, you can't be in a hurry about these things."

As he spoke, he strode out, and the young servant at the side hurriedly followed with an umbrella.

Wen Chong rushed to the door with staring eyes, looked at Shen Huai's figure who disappeared by the door and said grinningly, "It's really different with a daughter-in-law. How could he share his heart with other things in the past? It's good now, a whole day It's as if the sun has lost its soul, and now it still leaves the two of us here..."

An Yuan didn't answer, and Wen Chong could continue talking, "How can I say that this daughter-in-law can't be married, everyone wants to run around the world with their arms in their arms." He looked at An Yuan again, and asked with a smile , "Master An, speaking of it, you are also twenty-five, when are you going to get married?"

An Yuan didn't speak, just looked up at Wen Chong, the sinister and cold taste in those eyes made Wen Chong shrink his neck, and his whole body felt cold.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "You pretend I didn't say it, you pretend I didn't say it."

Whether An Yuan marries a wife or not is none of his business, Wen Chong felt guilty, turned his back and stopped looking at him.
