Chapter 25 Together
"Since the son likes to watch the show, what does the slave family's wet clothes have to do with the son? Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xin Yi said as he pulled off his covered shirt.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Liwu stretched out a hand and pressed it on the top of Xin Yi's head, and tightened his shirt by the way: "Are you sure you want to go home alone in the middle of the night? Don't forget, you are the chosen chess piece." ”
Xin Yi's heart sank. She couldn't argue with Jiang Li's words. If two sides of the chess game play against each other and become a pawn of one of the parties, it will basically become the opposition of the other side.
In the dead of night, alone, the chess pieces are cheap, they don't know the unpredictable life and death, and they don't know until they die.
Seeing that Xin Yi was silent, Jiang Li didn't say anything more, he walked in the direction of Xin Fu, but he deliberately slowed down his pace, as if he was deliberately waiting for Xin Yi to catch up.
Xin Yi gritted his teeth fiercely and finally followed.
The streets were quiet, with the red gauze lanterns squeaking and swaying, the whispers of weavers, and the piccolos of boudoir women.
Xin Yi was two steps behind Jiang Li, and he could hear the slight sound of their shoes rubbing on the stone road, and through some narrow alleys, the two would get so close that Xin Yi could even hear Jiang Li's breathing.
One by one, it was calm and peaceful, like the tide in a long night.
Xin Yi couldn't help but look down at his embroidered shoes. The tip of the shoe was pasted with a brocade butterfly, which was stuck to it because of poor workmanship, but tonight, the tassel of the beard trembled with the footsteps, and it was extremely fresh.
Suddenly, as if he intended to break the silence, Jiang left his mouth: "Tonight's situation, you can't help but be reckless...... If Lu Zhao didn't save you, or after saving you, Lu Jin and Wang Wenluan would still want to flog you to death. You don't have a way back. ”
"Otherwise, even the only chess boy present is watching the show, what choice do I have?"
Xin Yi's tone was tinged with cold mockery, but deep down there was a grievance that she didn't know where to start, and even she didn't realize it.
Jiang Li seemed to be choked, and immediately stopped talking. The room fell silent again.
From Qujiangchi to Xinfu, they have to cross half of Chang'an City, and the two walk together in silence. Xin Yi felt that the current time was several times more difficult than Fang Cai.
She rubbed the shirt caged above her head uncomfortably, and an elegant scent of smoke rushed into the tip of her nose. It is not the incense of the women's boudoir, but the agarwood used by men.
Xin Yi's heart moved: "This is your clothes?"
"Otherwise?" Jiang Li's tone was teasing, "I just went and returned, and I didn't go anywhere else halfway, and I didn't have an entourage. Isn't it your own clothes that you can use?"
Xin Yi was suddenly a little embarrassed: "Then aren't you only wearing a middle coat now?"
Xin Yi didn't lift his shirt all the way, he could only see the road through the gap in front of him, and he didn't see Jiang Li beside him. The middle coat is a close-fitting thing, and it has an indescribable meaning out of thin air.
"Not bad. I'm a man, so I don't mind being thick-skinned. But......" Jiang Li's voice was suddenly low, "However, I advise Miss Xin not to take off her clothes, lest she see things that she shouldn't see." ”
The second half of the man's words were full of evil spirits, wisps of coldness, and even though Xin Yi knew that he couldn't see himself, he instinctively lowered his head to his chest.
The room fell silent again. I don't know how long it has been, Xin Yi finally saw the gate of Xin Mansion.
"Give you back the clothes. I'll carry it over, you quickly put on ......" Xin Yi stopped half a mile away from Xinfu, took off his shirt, and handed it to Jiang Li with his backhand.
Jiang Li took it silently, and Xin Yi could only hear the squirming behind him, and then there was the slight sound of soft boots leaving.
There is a gentleman, and there is no parallel. is like the moon in the glasses in the water, he can't guess through it, he can't see through it, he can't figure it out, as if he is just a lonely soul wandering in the world.
Xin Yi suddenly called out to the gods: "Childe stay!"
Jiang Li stopped, and his tone was so flat that the two seemed to know each other: "What's the matter?"
Xin Yi's eyes flickered: "I just want to ask Childe." Childe sent me home because he was afraid that I would be in danger in the middle of the night...... But when it comes to my friendship with Childe, Childe has no reason to be so concerned about me. ”
There was silence behind him, and there was no answer. Xin Yi suppressed the desire to turn his head to look, and continued: "Childe, don't say anything about the poor orphan girl. Since they are all insiders, they only have interests, and there will never be wind and moon. ”
"What do you think I'm for?" Jiang Li replied suddenly, his tone inaudible and inaudible.
Xin Yi took a deep breath: "I don't know. Maybe Childe sent me to deliberately play a trick for someone in the dark, or maybe it could be to get closer to you and me and let me achieve your goal for you. According to Childe's strategic knowledge, I am afraid that everything has its own purpose. Where would you go through the city at night for no reason and send me home. Xin Yi is stupid, so there is a question. ”
"Do you think that if I really had my own purpose, I would tell you that?" Jiang Li's tone was a little smiling.
Xin Yi's heart jumped violently, and he almost fell silent. She didn't understand, if she was a chess piece used by Jiang Li tonight, where could a chess player easily tell the truth to the chess piece.
But she seemed to be fascinated, and she must ask Jiang Li in person.
The evening breeze is gentle, and the night is misty. Jiang Li didn't have any expression, so he turned around and left, leaving only a sentence in the wind-
"Ben Gongzi never bets without making money..."
A simple sentence seems to be soaked in too thick of the night, a little cool, a little untrue. Xin Yi didn't look back, she stood at the door of Xin's mansion for a while, and then pushed the door in without saying a word.
The green butterfly, who had been waiting for Xin Yi at the door for a long time, woke up from her sleep, and then happily stepped forward to greet her.
"Girl, you're back...... It's late at night, where has the girl gone? The old man was furious when he found out, and he estimated that he would have to suffer again tomorrow...... Huh, girl?"
The green butterfly inadvertently touched Xin Yi's hand, and her face immediately changed.
Because of Xin Yi's hands, it was frighteningly cold.
It's like ice in a cellar that's been hidden for years.
Green Butterfly's words soon came true. Before dawn, the lights of Cilan Hall came on.
The big girl Banana Leaf rushed into the Yutang Pavilion, and regardless of the green butterfly blocking it, she instructed a few old mothers to drag Xin Yi up from the couch, put on her clothes indiscriminately, and go to Cilan Hall.
Xin Yi only slept for a few hours, and after falling into the water, her wet clothes were close to her body, and she walked back to Xin Mansion for a few hours, she couldn't help but feel dizzy and could only be at the mercy of others.
When he came to the upper room of Cilan Hall, Xin Qi shouted angrily, "Kneel!" to make Xin Yi sober up a little.
Above Cilan Hall are still Xin Zhou and Xin Qi, and the rest of the people sitting are elders. Grandma Zhou, sister-in-law Gao E and Aunt Ling and others. The sisters and brothers of the same generation didn't see it, and after the banana leaf report, they closed the door and retreated, and the atmosphere in Cilantang was a little strange.
"To grandmother, father, sister-in-law......" Xin Yi instinctively asked for peace, but he didn't think that his head was dizzy, and he was planted directly on the ground.
This move made everyone in the audience think that her demeanor was inappropriate, and they couldn't help but show a cold face. Gao E laughed even more: "Our six girls have really grown up." It was so troublesome that the Lu family took a break from the book, and he could afford to provoke the five surnames and seven hopes, and now she is a yellow flower girl, and she stays alone until she returns. I really don't know what to do...... Look, my legs are weak this time. ”
Xin Qi added fuel to the fire when he heard this, and shouted angrily with a gloomy face: "Sixth girl, tell the truth! Why did you go out alone tonight and stay until midnight before returning home!"
