Chapter 442: A flash of cunning
As soon as these words came out of Qixi Festival, she was stunned for a moment, okay, she really didn't take the initiative to invite Xu Tianci to have a meal just now, mainly because she had invited Rong You at the beginning, and then left him behind, there were these two people at the dinner table, especially when there were few people, she was afraid that it would affect her appetite at that time.
But Ji Xian has talked about this, and everyone is already in the backyard at this time, if she pushes him over to the front box and asks him to eat by himself, but she is really embarrassed to do this thing if she leaves Rong You alone.
Yiqixi had to turn his head and quietly glanced at Rong You, the meaning in his eyes was very clear, and he wanted to ask Rong You to be accommodating, and he was about to leave this person for a meal.
It should be said that there is still some tacit understanding with Rong You, maybe there has been more contact during this time, it is to look at the past silently on Qixi Festival, and then think about the conversation between the two just now, Rong You will understand what she means.
Of course, I was very unhappy in my heart, Rong You is not a lively person, just look at the fact that you can quietly fish and play chess with Qixi, not to mention Ji Xian, a person who is not in tune with him, subconsciously wants to refuse.
But looking at Qixi's expression again, he knew that Qixi had respect for Mr. Ji, so it was naturally difficult to refute Ji Xian's face, and it was not a big deal, but it was just to eat at the same table, and it was not that he had not eaten, thinking of this, Rong You frowned slightly, but nodded slightly and agreed.
Qixi was overjoyed, and hurriedly showed a grateful smile at Rong You, and then turned to Ji Xian and said: "In this case, why don't you stay for a meal at noon, I will prepare to make some light dishes when Rong You comes over, and I will go to the kitchen to add two dishes later." Let's eat together at noon?"
The entire process of silent negotiation with Rong You just now was extremely short. It was so short that Ji Xian didn't notice it. At this time, I heard that Qixi took the initiative to invite him to stay for dinner, although there was still a Rong You who he didn't want to see, but compared to the way Qixi was always twisted before, this is much better.
I was proud, but my face was extremely reserved, and I thought about it for a while, and then nodded: "So, excuse me." β
Because Ji Xian "had to" stay to eat. I didn't have a chance to talk to Rong You about Fucheng alone, but because of the letter that came before, I was not in a hurry to say it.
Seeing the opportunity to hand Rong You a look, Rong You nodded clearly, since he has come back, he can say it any day, Ji Xian doesn't have to stay here every day, right?
The chessboard was originally laid down, and Qixi thought that in order to show respect for Ji Xian, who joined later, she still had to go to the kitchen to think about adding two more dishes, so she asked Ji Xian to sit in the place where she was originally sitting. Signal the two to play a game first.
Otherwise, she couldn't tell these two people to stare at each other here when she went to the kitchen, and besides, although the two didn't look alike. But it's not so naΓ―ve that Cheng dΓΉ fights, if you are really dissatisfied with the other party, it is better to use it in chess, and it will save your strength and uselessness.
Seeing the two of them playing chess, Qixi went to the kitchen, just before preparing things was busy, Qixi also helped out, and then prepared some more ingredients, and looked at the heat of the soup stewed early, and when they were all dealt with, they just finished a game.
The two chess opponents, and the final draw is also because they don't want to entangle anymore when they see Tanabata coming in, otherwise they can't say how long it will drag on.
Qixi looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, but was very interested, and asked a few words with great interest, the two of them accompanied her to review the game verbally, and when Qixi understood almost everything, she stopped staring at the chessboard.
Then he talked about the things on the side, it was nothing more than some things that he encountered in Fucheng, and what the two of them knew together was in Baishan Academy, and it happened that Qixi was also interested, after all, her brother was still there.
Qixi nodded, and listened to Ji Xian open his mouth again, squinting at Qixi and saying in a tone as if a gift: "This time I came back for a temporary matter, and I will go to Fucheng after two days, and I will come back with my grandfather before the year." β
"Oh? Tanabata looked at him puzzled, then nodded.
But in fact, she was still puzzled, Ji Xian told her what she was doing here, and she had nothing to do waiting for him to stay in the town and do it together.
Ji Xian was suddenly a little unhappy, and looked at Qixi and simply stopped saying a word.
Qixi really didn't notice his unhappiness, she just felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward at this time, and there were times when two people were at the same time in the past, but at that time, there were basically Xu Tianci Yunduo and others, and even sometimes Zhao Tianbao and Zhao Tianci were there, and it didn't matter if a group of people were together, there were always people talking to each other.
It's not like it is now, those two people don't mean to talk to each other at all, just left with Qixi in the middle, of course, you can't expect the three of you to talk about something together, she is still worried that there will be a quarrel, but if she only talks to one of them, she will inevitably snub the other, it's really bad, how could these two come together?
"By the way, I'll leave in two days, and this time I'll go back to Fucheng with you for the things you brought to my grandfather......" Ji Xian suddenly spoke again, paused when he said this, and looked up at Qixi Festival.
Qixi suddenly had a bad premonition, and quickly looked back at the past, not knowing what Ji Xian was going to say next.
Ji Xian looked at her expression and suddenly smiled, and then said: "Grandfather has many old friends in Fucheng, and he has always shared good things together. β
As he spoke, he pushed the beautiful box he was holding when he entered the door in the direction of Tanabata, and motioned for her to open it by herself.
Qixi didn't expect what she said to be this, so she was nervous for a long time just now, and after listening to it, she was relieved, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "It turned out to be this, you're welcome, it was originally a gesture, they just liked it, as for the return gift, you don't need it, you can help me bring it back, thank you." β
"You better take it......" Ji Xian didn't argue with her, but kept a smile and continued.
"No need, really don't need it, it's just some simple things like eating by yourself, how can there be a reason to take back the gift?" Qixi still refused, she made things willingly, as for Mr. Ji after he gave it to others, she naturally wouldn't interfere.
"Why are you so stubborn, I'm afraid you really have to accept this gift. Unexpectedly, Ji Xian smiled, looking at Qixi's face flashing a touch of cunning, and then continued, "I haven't finished talking just now, grandfather, they sent you a gift in return, first, to thank you, and secondly, I also want to ask you to help get some more, it just so happens that I came back temporarily this time, and I can also help bring it back together, so you say, if you refuse to accept it, how can they be embarrassed to ask you again?"
"......" Qixi was speechless for a moment, stared at Ji Xian with wide eyes, and deeply condemned his deliberate betrayal.
She knew it!
From Ji Xian's mouth, she should have thought of how many things this bully had taken from her, and some of the things she had brought out to try before she had time to taste them, so she asked him to take them away, and every time she used the banner of Mr. Ji, so that she couldn't even refuse.
This time it's like this again, does it mean that no matter what he wants, as long as he mentions Mr. Ji, she has to be honest and obedient, who told her to make up her mind to please Mr. Ji and find a better opportunity for her brother.
Qixi is very suspicious now, is there really something wrong with Ji Xian's sudden return to the county this time, could it be that she came back to get things for her when she was idle and bored, right?
Looking at Qixi with a look of being angry and unable to make a move, Ji Xian bent the corners of his lips with wicked taste, and then pretended to be considerate: "What, is it too rushed, or are you not able to tolerate effort?" If that's the case, forget it, I'll go back and talk to my grandfather, and my grandfather will definitely understand." β
Who wants you to fake your kindness, if you don't come back, there will be nothing, now that Mr. Ji has spoken, what are you going back to say that you are not available, isn't this a demolition?
Qixi stared at him angrily, and it took a long time to grit his teeth and smile without laughing: "Don't bother, ...... Some...... It's not too much trouble!"
"Really?" Ji Xian kept looking at Qixi with an expression,
"I'll help you. There was invisible gunsmoke between the two, and Rong You, who had been watching the battle for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Qixi turned his head when he heard this.
Ji Xian also turned his head to look over, squinting his eyes and having a displeased look on his face.
"Two days are in a hurry, I'll help you. Rong You ignored him, just looked at Qixi and repeated good-naturedly.
"No, no, no. Qixi made sure that he had heard it correctly this time, and quickly refused, "It's okay, it's not troublesome, I don't have anything to do anyway, I'll just do it myself." β
Everyone in the shop is busy working now, and it's hard to take a break when you're free, and it's not good to add extra things to them to do on Qixi Festival, so she can't point to others if she wants to get these, she has to do it herself, and the time is a little tight, but it's okay to get some tight.
And of course she won't really let Rong You help, the eldest young master who doesn't touch the spring water with his fingers, let him catch a fish is considered an interest, it is definitely different from real work, where can she let him help?
"Rong Shao is really kind, I can't see that I am so diligent. Ji Xian suddenly opened his mouth and said with a smile.
Rong You's expression was much more indifferent than his, but he accosted him, and said lightly: "Since it is what Mr. wants, as a disciple, even if you do something, it's nothing, isn't it?"
Qixi suddenly felt a little headache, Rong You is silent, and such a temperament rarely contradicts people, because he is too lazy to care. (To be continued......)
