Chapter 64: Cousin Jinhe
"Childe, your book. ”
Under the reminder of the small screen, Xu Yixi came to his senses.
Slowly took the book from the small screen, lowered his eyes, his eyes flickered, and he no longer dared to blatantly look at the small screen in front of him.
"Childe, do you have any orders?" the small screen's nice voice sounded again.
"Oh, it's okay, you... Let's go down first. ”
Unconsciously, Xu Yixi's voice also began to become warm, and it was sven, which made people feel comfortable listening to it.
Xiaoping only said "yes", and then retreated, Xu Yixi looked at Xiaoping's back, and looked a little obsessed. was laughing when he was splashed with water by the koi in the water tank.
"This ......"
Looking at the koi in the tank, absconding to the bottom of the tank like a child who has made a mistake, Xu Yixi couldn't get angry, but had an expression that didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Just a few strokes of his cheeks with his long sleeves, the water on his face was quickly wiped away. flipped through the book, and he realized that Xiaoping had bought him a beautiful book.
The so-called "glamorous books" refer to those books whose content is full of eroticism and disorder, three religions and nine streams, male thieves and female prostitutes, no matter which dynasty, these are the banned books that have been repeatedly banned in the imperial court.
Today, many men are mostly illiterate, let alone women.
Xu Yixi thought about it, so he didn't immediately find Xiaoping to reprimand. Subconsciously looked around, he quickly hid the beautiful book in the wide cuffs, for fear of being bumped into.
This book is categorically unreadable, and he plans to find a suitable opportunity to burn it and destroy it. In this way, Xiaoping is in no trouble, and he will not cause any trouble, killing two birds with one stone, as if no one has ever bought this book.
"Childe, I've already entrusted someone to handle the water tank. ”
The door outside the house was gently open, and Zhao Cai knocked lightly twice, and then walked in. After a pause, he continued, "Oh, that's right, Childe, I just met Xiaoping, she said that she had already bought the book back and handed it to you, Childe, what kind of book is this time, Childe read it out and listen to it!"
Xu Yixi is very fond of all kinds of poetry collections, every time he can't release the book, he has to read it out loud, and over time, his personal attendant Zhaocai has become accustomed to Xu Yixi's sonorous or lyrical voice. For Zhaocai, who has never studied, he may not be able to understand what his son-in-law is reading, but he is quite happy to hear his son's bel canto, which is tantamount to an auditory enjoyment.
After listening to Zhaocai's words, Xu Yixi's eyes rolled around, his movements and words were unnatural, and he panicked in an instant, and the beautiful book hidden in his sleeve also fell to the ground with a "bang".
Zhaocai seemed to see some clues, but he was a little puzzled, so he hurriedly asked, "Childe, the master didn't come again, what are you panicking about?"
It turned out that the trick was misinterpreted.
Originally, he shouldn't have been weak-hearted, but Xu Yixi was overwhelmed by the hot potato-like books. However, he had to bend down and pick it up, pretending that nothing had happened. However, the attendant Zhaocai picked up the books on the ground before him.
"Childe, is this book a poem or an article today?"
Zhao Cai patted the dust on the book, and flipped through the book casually.
Although this personal attendant Zhaocai didn't know anything except his own name, Xu Yixi was still inexplicably nervous, snatched the book from Zhaocai's hand, rolled it into a cylinder, and carried it behind his back.
"Move... Zhaocai, do you remember the book of poems that write about missing your hometown?" Seeing Zhaocai nodding, Xu Yixi continued, "Xiaoping bought the wrong one, this is the book, and she bought it again by heart." But don't worry, I can still pass the time when I'm bored. ”
"But Childe, it doesn't seem that the writing of that book of poems is this color, that one is blue, and this one is yellow......"
"When I said recruitment, maybe you have a bad memory. I read so many books every day, where do you remember which one is red and which one is blue!"
Xu Yixi hurriedly interrupted Zhaocai's words and strangled Zhaocai's words in the cradle. He put the book in his sleeve again, and this time, he was very careful.
Seeing Zhaocai stunned in place, scratching the back of his head and looking at himself strangely, Xu Yixi couldn't help but turn his back and smile secretly.
"Childe, Mrs. Xu asked you to go to her place, saying that your cousin, Miss Jinhe, is here. ”
A little girl stood at the door, leaning over and whispering.
Xu Yixi raised her hand and said, "Got it", and the girl went out.
Just as he was about to move out of the house, he suddenly remembered the accident when the beautiful book fell from the cuff just now, so he sent a messenger to report it first, saying that he would be there soon.
Looking around the house, the wooden shelves where books used to be placed were long since empty, and even a piece of paper had been looted by his father, and now how could a forbidden book like this be placed on the shelf. Looking around, there was no good place to hide books, and after thinking about it again, he could only hide the books under his bedding.
After that, I closed the door and went out of the house with peace of mind.
As soon as I arrived in the inner courtyard, I saw Xu Yindi accompanying her cousin Jin He while eating melon seeds, talking and laughing.
"Cousin, how is my father today?"
Knowing that Jin He's father had been sick for several days, Xu Yixi greeted.
Spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth, Jin He picked up the teacup held by the girls on the side and rinsed his mouth, gently lifted the handkerchief on his waist, and turned a little corner of his mouth, before slowly replying to Xu Yixi's words.
"Why, isn't it good that you're looking forward to my father like that?" she pouted with a contemptuous glance out of the corner of her eye.
"Where do you start?"
Xu Yixi only felt that Jin He had misinterpreted her meaning. Jin He didn't take his words, but threw himself into Xu Yindi's arms and was angry.
"Auntie, look at it, my cousin is so annoying, if you hadn't told me this, I would have been deceived by his appearance. ”
"Jin He, don't be foolish, I have to go out and pick up some cloth today, you can play with Yixi for a while, ah." ”
Xu Yindi glanced at Xu Yixi, who was standing in the center of the inner courtyard, stroked Jin He's head and comforted softly, and then sent a few family members out of the house with him.
In an instant, there were only two people left in the inner court, Jin He and Xu Yixi.
As soon as she arrived at Xu's house, Xu Yindi received Jin He, and the two chatted together for a long time. Of course, Xu Yindi is just picking up some of Xu Yixi's shortcomings, and even if she doesn't, she makes them up. Xu Yixi always came to face her, and Xu Yindi naturally didn't want to say good things about him.
Because the two families are far apart, even if they drive the carriage forward, it will take five or six days to travel on one side, and if the two sides are added up, I am afraid that it will take half a month to return home.
Jin He didn't want to come, but a few days ago, his father was seriously ill, and Xu Heliang asked someone to send some good medicinal materials over, which made him feel a little better. In order to thank her for this kindness, her father sent her to the Xu family, ostensibly to let her chat for himself to express his gratitude, but in fact, he wanted her to meet Xu Yixi, the son of the Xu family.
The children of the two families were originally married from a young age, but the Jin family has been getting worse day by day over the years, and compared with the Xu family, it can't help but look a little defeated. Seeing that Jin He is also getting bigger day by day, if the Xu family really keeps its promise, then the two families will become in-laws sooner or later. If the hospitality of Jin He is not thoughtful and does not mention the marriage, it means that the Xu family wants to break the contract.
This is a strategy to kill two birds with one stone, to put it bluntly, the master of the Jin family is nothing more than using Jin Lotus to probe the wind.
