69. How to argue about proximity and proximity
Zhao Yuanrong poked the egg custard in the bowl, and his little face was very unhappy.
What about sleeping and waking up together and reading together?
After sleeping all night, but when he opened his eyes, he didn't have a gentle and good-looking cousin, Zhao Shizi was quite displeased.
And he didn't tell him where he went!
I scooped it angrily and decided that I would never sleep without humming a minor tune ten times tonight.
However, when Zhao Yuanrong finished breakfast and watched the comic book for a while, he still didn't wait for Lin Xi to come back, but waited for Liu's mother Lu.
Lin Xi left the Hou Mansion early in the morning, and the Liu family, who was in charge of the feed, knew about it, so he sent Lu's mother to invite Zhao Yuanrong to go.
For his grandmother, Zhao Yuanrong was still close, and because of his anger towards Lin Xi, he went to the main courtyard with Lu's mother angrily.
Before leaving, he tilted his head and commanded Yuanyuan: "When my cousin comes back, I will say that Rong'er will not come back by himself!"
It was clear that Lin Xi needed to pick it up in person, Yuan Yuan smiled and nodded with Tuan Tuan, who followed with his daily pills.
Lin Xi didn't return to the Hou Mansion until after noon, and he brought back a carriage of books with him.
It took half an hour for the three servants to move into the study, and the half-empty study was immediately filled.
Such a big movement naturally attracted a lot of attention.
The owner of the Maple Grove Pavilion, who was about to become a neighbor, wandered over.
Although Lin Xi and Xiao Yuqi are also cousins, and they are both studying, they are not close.
It's just that Xiao Yuqi's new house is set aside, and there are many opportunities to meet now.
"Cousin, you went out early in the morning just to bring back this cart of books?
With a folding fan in his hand, Xiao Yuqi swayed into Lin Xi's study.
Lin Xi was personally placing these books in different categories, and when he heard the sound, he turned around and saw Xiao Yuqi, and said: "Most of these books were collected by my father when he was in office, and now they are in filial piety. ”
He also said: "The study is in chaos, the second cousin might as well go and sit next door." ”
Xiao Yuqi shook his head, "Cousin, I admire my uncle's knowledge very much, it's an honor to see my uncle's notes, cousin, why don't you let me help you?"
Walking around the rows of bookshelves, Xiao Yuqi closed the folding fan and put it on the table, and then rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get up with Lin Xi.
"Cousin, you said how to tidy up, cousin is not talented, and he still has time and strength. ”
Speaking of which, Lin Xi couldn't shirk anymore, so he told Xiao Yuqi in another way, and the two of them did it together.
There are a lot of books, and they are well preserved, Xiao Yuqi doesn't dare to be careless, and he is very careful one by one.
Among them, there are mainly serious books such as the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucian Commentaries, Economics and Agriculture, and there are also many miscellaneous books such as legendary biographies and travelogues.
Xiao Yuqi was holding a copy of "Wild Fox Flower Chronicles" in his hand, and when he looked at the name, he knew that it was not only a strange story, but also with the fragrance of wild history.
Xiao Yuqi glanced at Lin Xi without moving, a stubborn person like Lin Qing would definitely not look at it, so only the well-behaved little cousin in front of him would flip through it again and again, looking at this old ......
"I used to be frail and sickly, and I spent most of my time in bed, bored to pass the time. Lin Xi glanced at it, he didn't look ashamed at all, he was very calm, "If my cousin is curious, you can take it and take a look." ”
This made Xiao Yuqi embarrassed, and said, "Then thank you cousin." ”
Lin Xi smiled: "Cousin is polite, if you want to borrow something, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Xiao Yuqi doesn't like to read, and thought that Lin Xi was also a person who follows the rules, but today he found that his well-behaved cousin also had another side, and he was a little closer to Lin Xi for the common hobby of this wild history book.
The two of them were talking and laughing while reading books, and most of the time passed. If it weren't for the auspicious announcement at the door that the second lady was coming, I was afraid that I would know the time when I was holding the lamp.
But then again, there is a difference between men and women, and the two young ladies of the Hou Mansion have never come to visit Yuexuan alone, not to mention that Zhao Shizi is in front of the Liu family today, Xiao Jinlan should go to Songtao Courtyard to offer courtesy.
"Why is the second sister here?"
Before Lin Xi could speak, Xiao Yuqi had already shown doubts.
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jinlan's figure had already appeared at the door of the study, and she was wearing a cigarette and water flower skirt, combing a flying fairy bun, slim, and smiling eyes, very beautiful and moving.
"I heard that my cousin brought back a cart of books, and my sister was longing, and when she saw that her brother was also there, she came uninvited. ”
She walked into the study, looked at the books on the table and the floor, and then looked at the rows of bookshelves, her eyes lit up, "My cousin is worthy of coming from a scholarly family, and I am afraid that many of the books here cannot be found outside." ”
"My cousin has won the prize. Although he didn't appreciate Xiao Jinlan's temperament, this was indeed a rare beauty embryo, Lin Xi couldn't help but take a few more looks, and his expression was very gentle.
Xiao Jinlan smiled, "It looks like this book still needs to be sorted out, my sister just made plum blossom cake and made a pot of spring tea for the two brothers, I don't know if it fits the taste." ”
As she spoke, she sorted out a small piece of land on the table and placed two stacks of pure white pastries and a pot of porcelain white spring tea.
The plum blossom cake is delicate and beautiful, it looks like she has an appetite, Lin Xi has always liked delicious snacks, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jinlan, this girl seemed to be getting more and more virtuous.
"In that case, cousin, let's let it go first, the second sister has a good intention, it's better to taste it first. ”
Xiao Yuqi pulled Lin Xi up and brought him to the table, Xiao Jinlan poured tea for the two of them, and watched them eat with a smile.
"The entrance is sweet but not greasy, soft and not sticky, and the second sister's craftsmanship is getting better and better. Xiao Yuqi exclaimed.
Xiao Jinlan looked at Lin Xi, and saw that Lin Xi's expression was also full of joy, and she was happy in her heart, "My sister has nothing to do on weekdays, but she likes to make these small snacks, if my brothers like it, I will send some next time." ”
This is much better than his bowl of unpretentious egg noodles, Lin Xi nodded.
While the two of them were eating, Xiao Jinlan strolled along the bookshelf, looked at the neat blue leather line books, and couldn't help but take one and look through it. One thing is true, compared to her sister who was born noble but has no ink, she is much more talented and likes to read.
But when it came to books, Xiao Jinlan asked, "Cousin, I wonder if you lost a few books that day, did you find them?"
Lin Xi held half of the plum blossom cake in his hand, then slowly put it down, turned around and shook it to Xiao Jinlan, "No, but I have written to my father's friend, but I haven't received a reply yet." ”
Xiao Jinlan put the books back in their place and said with a smile: "It's a pity, seeing that my cousin brought back so many books, I thought I had found them, so I came cheekily." ”
"When I have news, I will tell my cousin. ”
Xiao Yuqi said: "Then I will also settle down first." ”
Lin Xi should be, but at this moment, Tuan Tuan ran over panting, and when he saw that there were outsiders in the study, he stabilized his mind, walked to Lin Xi's side and whispered a few words.
Lin Xi frowned slightly, and his face sank, "I'll go immediately." ”
In a blink of an eye, he apologized to the two brothers and sisters, "Second cousin, cousin also invites Haihan." ”
This saw that there was an urgent matter, Xiao Yuqi and Xiao Jinlan glanced at each other, and then said goodbye one after another.
As soon as the others left, Lin Xi immediately set off for Songtao Courtyard.
I thought that Zhao Yuanrong, as the grandson of the Marquis of Yongning and the son of Prince Rui, would be fine, but I didn't want to take care of it like this.
Lin Xi felt a sense of anger at the moment that his children were being bullied by outsiders.
Xiao Jinlan went to the Fenglin Pavilion and saw Lin Xi hurrying towards Songtao Courtyard, she was very curious, but after thinking about it, she turned back to Lanyue Xuan.
"Second Miss......" Jixiang was very surprised to see Xiao Jinlan go and return.
"My white bone celadon plate and painted teapot are still inside. Xiao Jinlan smiled lightly and said, "My cousin said it tasted good, I'll go back and pack some more and send them over." ”
In auspicious hesitation, Xiao Lan had already shrugged the beech Kangna
If Zhao Yuanrong is unhappy, no one should be happy, and if he is uncomfortable, no one should want to swim leisurely.
Songtao Courtyard is Liu's land, and no one bullies him.
When he first came, Liu coaxed him to accompany him, but she was too busy, and soon she had family affairs to deal with, and it was naturally Lu's mother who took care of him.
However, everyone knows that the prince has been poisoned, and his health is not yet well, so he watched nervously without blinking, and became the prince of the world to take a step forward and follow a step, turn around and turn around, and the eyes also moved together, and before he ran up, someone rushed to open his arms and prepare to hug him, and the curious ornament was quickly taken away as soon as he got it, for fear of knocking him and touching him.
The shadow-like stare made him very unhappy.
No one who can run and jump wants to be restricted in their freedom, at least in Lanyuexuan, as long as he runs and jumps casually under Lin Xi's nose, as long as he doesn't go too far, Lin Xi encourages him to move, and even plays with him devotedly.
The maid who lost her temper a few times and knelt on the ground.
Zhao Yuanrong was even more angry.
Finally Xiao Jinxin came.
This aunt Zhao Yuanrong liked it a lot before, and felt that there was a shadow of his mother, but after being naked, and revealing his mind on the day of the full moon wine, Zhao Yuanrong didn't like it.
If there is a pimple in his heart, he will no longer be close, but today Xiao Jinxin is determined to reconcile with Zhao Yuanrong, and he is accommodating in every way to please him, and all kinds of exquisite gadgets have also attracted his attention.
However, no matter how delicate the toy is, it is very boring to play it only by yourself, how can Xiao Jinxin, as a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, be as shameless as Lin Xi to play the role. As the hours passed little by little, Zhao Yuanrong quickly lost interest.
Xiao Jinxin coaxed for a long time, with little effect, and Zhao Yuanrong finally couldn't help but ask Tuan Tuan: "When will my cousin come to pick me up?"
One cousin, two cousins, three sentences, finally lit up Xiao Jinxin's few endurance, "Rong'er, you are the grandson of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, I am your aunt, Lin Xi's surname is Lin, but he is a cousin who lives in the Hou Mansion, you should see clearly who is six years old, right? He is good to you, do you think he is really good to you? You are the son of Prince Rui!"
Xiao Jinxin's words came out of her mouth, she immediately regretted it, but she couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart, she had long been dissatisfied with Zhao Yuanrong's appearance of relying on a foreign surname in the Marquis Mansion.
But when Zhao Yuanrong heard this, he was directly angry, "Auntie, you are not allowed to talk about your cousin like that! He is different from you!"
He knows better than anyone who is genuinely good to him.
Xiao Jinxin sneered, "How is it different, he is just a white body, if he can please you, he will rely on the prince's official fortune in the future." How many scholars have read books all their lives, but they can't get ahead, and if the eldest brother hadn't been born in the Hou Mansion, it would not have been so smooth sailing. He has only started studying now, and he doesn't know when he will be able to go to high school, and it will be different if he has the help of the prince. ”
Zhao Yuanrong shook his head fiercely, "No, aunt said nonsense, I don't like you anymore, I don't want to be with you, I want to go back!"
The cousin was not good to him because he asked his father to do so, but his father wanted to ask him to marry his cousin so that he could hold it firmly, and it was simply reversed!
However, Zhao Jingyi told him many times, and no one was allowed to say it, and Zhao Yuanrong was almost about to yell out.
He turned to leave.
"Don't go!Rong'er!" Xiao Jinxin stopped at the door, wrinkled her eyebrows and shouted, "Don't go to Lanyuexuan, that was originally the courtyard of the eldest brother, if it weren't for the fact that grandmother felt sorry for him and couldn't help but be weak, he wouldn't be able to live in the best yard! ”
"No, I'm going to find my cousin!" Zhao Yuanrong stretched out his hand and pushed Xiao Jinxin hard, but the strength of a six-year-old child and a girl in her teens was too different, and Xiao Jinxin was as motionless as an iron pillar.
The two of them were at a stalemate.
Zhao Yuanrong didn't push it away for a long time, his little face turned red, "I'll let my father teach you a lesson!"
Xiao Jinxin was unmoved.
Zhao Yuanrong's eyes turned red instantly, but he stubbornly didn't cry, just held his breath and pushed hard, kicking and beating if he couldn't push away, Xiao Jinxin let him kick and let him play, not moving.
The maids saw that something was wrong, and ran out to call someone.
As soon as Tuan Tuan found out about the situation, he immediately ran back to Lanyue Xuan, and when Lin Xi arrived, he saw that Zhao Yuanrong had begun to pant heavily, and his face was abnormally red.
His face immediately changed.
"Third cousin, get out of the way immediately!"
It was rare for Lin Xi to speak so violently, but his always gentle temperament stepped forward in three steps and two steps and pushed Xiao Jinxin away.
"Wow-" Zhao Yuanrong threw himself into Lin Xi's arms and finally cried.
"Tuan Tuan, medicine, quickly!" Lin Xi picked up Zhao Yuanrong, swept his eyes, and walked a few steps quickly and put it on the warm couch not far away.
Tuan Tuan turned out the pill he was carrying, poured a glass of water tightly, and handed it to Lin Xi's hand.
"Rong'er, don't panic, breathe slowly, yes, take a big breath, exhale again, slowly, don't worry, come, drink saliva first......"
Zhao Yuanrong took a few heavy breaths, stared at Lin Xi tightly with his eyes open, and drank two sips of water, Lin Xi put the pill into his mouth, "Swallow it, it's not too bitter after you've eaten, right?"
Zhao Yuanrong grabbed Lin Xi's shirt and took the medicine very cooperatively, Lin Xi gently smoothed his chest, and slowly stabilized his breathing, leaving only a slight sob.
At this time, Liu was also shocked and hurried over, and when he saw Xiao Jinxin staying at the door, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"Woo woo......" Xiao Jinxin threw herself into Liu's arms, "Mother, I didn't mean to ......"
Hearing this, Lin Xi's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he thought of Zhao Yuanrong's appearance just now, this girl was still angry at the door and let the child toss, so he was angry.
The Yongning Marquis Mansion is also confused, and with such a temperament, he still wants Zhao Jingyi to marry her, whether it is to take care of Zhao Yuanrong or to make the two families feud.
What is the personality of his daughter, Liu knows it clearly, and he also guessed a rough idea when he heard the maid's story along the way.
She glared at Xiao Jinxin and asked, "Xi'er, is Rong'er okay?"
Liu came closer to look at Zhao Yuanrong, only to see Zhao Yuanrong directly hugging Lin Xi's neck and turning his head.
Lin Xi gently patted Zhao Yuanrong's back, turned around and said lukewarmly: "Rong'er's body is already taboo with ups and downs, a little bit, the consequences are really unimaginable, I don't know if I can bear the anger of the prince." If the aunt is not free, the third cousin will not take care of the children, and if she sends people back, she will be involved in the Luan Lu miscellaneous Su Zhan Zhu Lu Zhu
When Lin Xi said this, Zhao Yuanrong hugged the ground even tighter, "Cousin, I don't want anyone else." ”
"What did Xi'er say, since the prince entrusted you, he is the only one, and your cousin is not sensible, don't be like her. ”
Xiao Jinxin had teary eyes, the anger in her eyes flashed, and she was about to speak, but she was stunned back by Liu's glare.
Lin Xi glanced at Xiao Jinxin, and said with a slight smile: "Cousin, don't be angry, why would Rong'er rather be close to me, a cousin who has turned a corner, than close to you, you know better than anyone else in your heart, you have always been sincere for sincere, if you go to the position of Princess Xiao, you don't have to deliberately force yourself to make a loving appearance, and use Rong'er as a stepping stone." It's better to show your charm and directly envelop the prince to be considered powerful and worthy of this identity. This is also said here, and when you go out of the door, you should forget it. ”
As he spoke, he directly picked up Zhao Yuanrong and walked out of the room.
Out of Songtao Courtyard, he came to hug him, but Zhao Yuanrong hugged Lin Xi's neck tightly and didn't let go.
Young Master Lin, who was frail and sickly, could only lift his strength and carry him all the way back to the courtyard.
"I'm going to listen to it ten times at night, no, twenty times to put you to sleep. Zhao Yuanrong snorted angrily and asked in a nasal voice.
"It's too much. ”
"I want it! My cousin didn't come to pick me up so late, you don't like me!" Zhao Yuanrong arched his head vigorously, and Lin Xi felt that his hands were heavier.
Quickly apologized, "I know it's wrong, I won't dare next time, Rong'er, don't move, I can't hold it." ”
As soon as Lin Xi said this, Zhao Yuanrong settled down and obediently did not move.
With a heavy weight in his arms, Lin Xi, who was powerless against the chicken, was really a big test, "If you don't come down, let's go back, it's not far away." ”
Zhao Yuanrong clung tightly, "Don't." ”
"What about falling?"
"My cousin won't let Rong'er fall. Zhao Yuanrong said very firmly.
"Well, you win. ”
Zhao Yuanrong pursed his lips, put his little face on Lin Xi's cheek, and slowly showed a smile.
