Chapter 113: Heart-to-heart talk
On a rare sunny day, with no clouds, Zhou Xiya got up early in the morning and fed the parrots under the corridor.
"Pretty Miss... Miss is pretty..."The parrot stammered with delicious bird food in its mouth.
"Hehe, this little thing is really clever, who taught you?" Zhou Xiya flicked the parrot's head.
"Miss is beautiful..."The parrot looked at Zhou Xiya aggrievedly.
The splendid waiting on the side covered her mouth and smiled
"It must have been taught by you, a girl, to see what taught this little thing, a goblin." Zhou Xiya shook her head with a smile.
"Miss, you said one less, and there's another one below." Jinxiu pointed to his feet, and saw a puppy flattering there.
"There's another one, it must have seen me feeding the parrots, and it was hungry for itself, Jinxiu, when will you teach these little animals, teach these two little things so well." Zhou Xiya put the bird food in her hand back into the box, clapped her hands, bent down and held the puppy in her arms and stroked it gently, and the puppy licked Zhou Xiya's hand to please her.
"Miss, slaves like small animals, remember when the slave was a child at home to help her parents raise sheep, watching the lamb grow up little by little, and then the family was gone, I went to the side of the lady, but we were at the border at that time, the most contact is the horse, although the slave also likes horses, but it is not as convenient as raising a kitten and a puppy, at that time there was no opportunity to raise this small animal, now there is a chance, the slave thinks that she wants to touch the light of the lady, get close to these animals, they are very spiritual, Just have the patience to teach them a few times and memorize them. Speaking of this, Jinxiu's eyes were shining.
"It's good to have a hobby. In the future, all the small animals around me will be handed over to you to be responsible. "Zhou Xiya is happy to be the shopkeeper, although she is patient, but there are a lot of things every day, let her trim flowers and cut grass every day, tease small animals, and really don't have that time.
"Miss, the second young lady is here." A maid stepped forward to give a bow.
"Hurry up, please ......" Zhou Xiya put down the puppy and walked to the stone table in the courtyard.
"Shioya"
"Second sister-in-law, why did you come here today?" Zhou Xiya took her hand and the two sat down. Own maid to bring tea and snacks.
"Your second brother has been sent out again. It is estimated that it will take a month to come back, so I'm not bored, so I'll come to sit with you. Chen Yishan was a little depressed, the old house of the Zhou family was very large. Although there are many servants in the house. But she is the new daughter-in-law after all. It's still a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the old slaves at home don't dare to embarrass her.
After attending the wedding, the sister-in-law went back to the border and told her to let her take care of everything in the old house. As the responsibility of the wife in charge, but really got started, only to find that there are so many things to deal with, much more complicated than the things learned in the boudoir, and finally steal a little leisure, she hurriedly ran to Zhou Xiya, breathable, by the way, learn from the experience, Xiya don't look at the young age, but a housekeeper expert, although Xiya does not mix with the affairs of the old house, but she still knows the situation of the old house, and it will not be wrong to ask her.
"This emperor is really, the second brother and you are still newly married, and the second brother has been thrown out again." Zhou Xiya echoed.
"Your second brother is capable, it is a good thing to be appreciated by the emperor, as long as he is safe in outsiders, I don't know why, as soon as your second brother leaves my sight, my heart will go up and down, I always feel unsteady, as if something will happen to him, sometimes I think very badly, I know that it is wrong to think so crankily, but I just can't control myself." Chen Yishan approached Zhou Xiya and whispered.
Although Zhou Xiya is her sister-in-law, she is also her good friend, and she is willing to say some private things to her.
"Huh...... My good second sister-in-law, you care too much about my second brother, love him too much, you are because you are newly married, you will be like glue, you can't see it at a glance, you will see it after a long time, if my second brother will not come for a while, you will definitely cross your waist and say, 'Where did the dead ghost go again, don't give me back to the old lady'" Zhou Xiya said funny as she learned the appearance of a rural.
"Yike...... You dead girl, you actually laugh at me, see if I don't clean you up" Chen Yishan was annoyed and angry, chasing Zhou Xiya to squeak her, Zhou Xiya was not afraid of anything else, she was most afraid of itching.
"Okay, okay, second sister-in-law, I was wrong, spare me, I don't dare anymore" Zhou Xiya laughed non-stop and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"It's pretty much the same" Chen Yishan returned to her seat and gently stroked her sideburns, which were messed up after running twice just now.
"Okay, let's get to the point, second sister-in-law, your phenomenon is normal, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are also like this after they get married, don't look at the sister-in-law's very cool, but you care about the eldest brother, when you first got married, the eldest brother went out to inspect the army, and the sister-in-law was also restless, and it was okay after a long time, not that the feelings were weak, but the strengths of a long time, the tension between each other was gone, and there was more understanding, you are still not very familiar with the second brother, and when you understand his hair, you won't worry anymore, because you can guess where others are, What are you doing, that is, when you go out, you also know that he is the most factional, and he will not mess with flowers and grass outside, our Zhou family is in love, and everyone is a good man. Zhou Xiya's face was full of pride.
"You little girl, when it comes to feelings, who taught you this, but one thing you are right, the men of the Zhou family are affectionate, so my father and mother are relieved to marry me to the Zhou family, not only because the Chen and Zhou families were related before." Chen Yishan nodded approvingly.
"Does this still need to be taught? Just look at it, don't talk about my eldest brother and sister-in-law, just say my grandfather and grandfather, the old couple who have lived for decades, will still care about each other very much, as long as my grandfather goes out to socialize, my grandmother will definitely worry about whether he will drink too much, and he will complain, but when his grandfather is really going to get drunk, she is more anxious than anyone else, after all, she is old, drinking too much hurts her body, this is the older generation's mutual affection, young and young passion, old and old mutual support, feelings this thing, very beautiful, unfortunately, many people do not get, Some are just whining. Zhou Xiya spread her hands.
"You ghost elf, you have made you say, it is not easy for people to meet the right person in this life, some people want to have a good time with him, want to feel sorry for him, but unfortunately that person is not worth feeling sorry for. His heart is not in you, but in drinking. What about you, Xiya, what kind of relationship do you want? "Women are very emotional animals, and what they want most is not gold and silver jewelry, but a warm-hearted person.
"Hehe, second sister-in-law, why did you turn to me?" Zhou Xiya smiled awkwardly.
"Why can't I ask?"
"Of course, it's my grandfather and grandmother's kind of relationship that accompanies me to old age, and I am very content to do that, and my father's love is vigorous. But it's too intense. will end like this, the sky is different. Zhou Xiya played with her life on the table.
"Yes, it is the happiest to be able to grow old together" Chen Yishan saw that Zhou Xiya was a little lonely, and it was not good to ask anything, "Okay, Xiya." Tell me about the old house. My new daughter-in-law came in. Are you still black-eyed? ”
"Okay, but I don't know much, I don't know how much I can help you. I know everything I heard from my father, or my brothers mentioned it, sometimes people from the old house will come to ask about some things, and I have also come into contact with some ......" Zhou Xiya told Chen Yishan what she knew.
The two were talking happily, and the maid came over to say, "Miss, Dugu Gongzi is here"
"Dugu Jin, what is he doing here?" Zhou Xiya asked rhetorically.
The maid shook her head, "Dugu didn't say anything, only said that he wanted to see Miss"
"Let people in," Zhou Xiya had to order.
Chen Yishan looked at Zhou Xiya with some sympathy, this girl is also powerful, decisive in other things, and ruthless, but she hesitates emotionally, afraid of hurting this and hurting that, she would rather suffer herself, the most fatal thing, Xiya is still a peach blossom physique, and the men around her are all excellent, how to choose, it is really a big problem.
"You talk, I'll walk around your garden" When Dugu Jin came, Chen Yishan left automatically.
"Xiya, the weather is very good today, I'll take you to the lake, I bought a big boat, let's enjoy the scenery along the coast, and you can also slip down and go to Yongzhou Mansion for a turn, and it will take two days to go back and forth." Dugu Jin sat at the stone table, seemingly a little thirsty, and picked up Zhou Xiya's teacup before and drank the tea in one go.
"You're a man...... This is what I used," Zhou Xiya glared.
"I don't dislike you" Dugu Jin was not a little embarrassed.
"I hate you," Zhou Xiya glared at him
Speechless can no longer express her feelings, she seems to have gotten used to Dugu Jin's cheekiness.
"How about it, whether to go or not, now is the time when the scenery is good, the weather is not so hot, wait a few days, it should be hot and you don't want to go out." Dugu Jin continued to pout.
"I don't want to, I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to accompany you boys and buddies to drink flower wine on a flower boat." She has seen some of Dugu Jin's fox friends and dog friends, and they have the ability, but they are all good and evil people, and things gather like them, Dugu Jin is such a person, and his friend is also a virtuous person, and there is a ruffian on his body.
"They play with theirs, I'll accompany you, you stay at home all day, people are going to get sick, go out with me to relax, I know your father is not going out to inspect the barracks." Dugu Jin does not give up.
"You premeditated, knowing that my father was not there, you came to invite me, knowing that my father was at home, you would not agree."
Dugu Jin touched his nose and pretended to be innocent, "What can I do, your father treats me like a thief, as if I will abduct the girl from their family, although your father verbally promised me that I can approach you, but for such a long time, I have seen you a few times, how can I marry you in this way, I know that your father is treating you differently." Dugu Jin meant that Li Mu came to the Zhou Mansion, but his treatment was different.
"You're spying on me?" Zhou Xiya glared.
"No, your Zhou family is so well guarded, just like the military camp, how can I place someone here." Dugu Jin denied that he was just buying off the people inside, money could make ghosts grind, as long as he put his mind to it, there was nothing that no one could buy.
Zhou Xiya doesn't ask anymore, she will investigate thoroughly when the time comes.
However, there are some things, whether to make it clear to Dugu Jin, especially when she recovers her memory, her personality has become the same as her previous self, her temper is so impulsive, it is really inappropriate to be with Dugu Jin, and it is really inappropriate for the two to be together.
"Okay, I'll go with you, will I go now?"
"Let's go now," Dugu Jin smiled.
"I'll go get ready"
――――――――
The two rode out of the city on horseback, slowed down at the gate of the city, waited for the gatekeeper to let them go, and when they got out of the city gate, they saw dilapidated grass huts everywhere, and the refugees gathered here, and they were not allowed to enter the city, so they had to be stationed outside the city, there were several soup kitchens that were still giving porridge, and the adults took bowls to serve porridge, these two bowls of porridge may be a family's rations for a day, even if there is not much rice in the porridge, but in the absence of food, it is much better to eat this than to eat grass root bark.
The children were also dirty, and they just looked at them on tall horses.
At this moment, Zhou Xiya's heart was touched, she knew the disaster, and the Zhou family had been giving porridge, which she had personally arranged, but her family did not agree with her coming outside the city, because it was not safe, she had not seen it with her own eyes, and she couldn't imagine how bitter these people were.
When Zhou Xiya turned her head to look, she saw a man wiping the child's face in the crowd, the soothing smile on the man's face made the child stop crying, and the man magically conjured a candy and stuffed it into the boy's mouth, and the boy showed a happy smile on his face.
This man is Li Mu
Zhou Xiya smiled, she didn't look at the wrong person.
"Let's go" Dugu Jin reminded, his face was very bad, he was really unlucky, how did he meet Li Mu, he already knew that he would not go to this city gate.
Zhou Xiya nodded, knowing what she thought, thought, and loved in her heart, she was even more determined, she didn't choose the wrong person.
The horse team galloped away, and Li Mu also saw Zhou Xiya, but he didn't think much about it, there were still so many refugees here, he had to find a way to do something to help them.
"Dugu Dashao, you have finally arrived, we have been waiting for you for a long time, if you don't come again, we will all sail." When they reached the river, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a man got out of the boat and shouted.
"If I don't come, will you dare to sail?" Dugu Jin put on a shelf.
"Hey, don't dare, don't dare" The man hurried too well.
"Let's go, let's go up" Dugu Jin helped Zhou Xiya to upload.
"This is my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is good," the man greeted Zhou Xiya.
"What's it called, go aside" Dugu Jin waved his hand impatiently, if he provoked Zhou Xiya, Zhou Xiya would dare to get off the boat directly, he missed Zhou Xiya who lost his memory and couldn't see, what a little bird Zhou Xiya was at that time, and now Zhou Xiya has returned to the same thorny rose as before.
Zhou Xiya ignored the man, but made a gesture to the Zhou family guards on the shore under the boat, and the guards below said that they understood.
The guards would follow the boat all the time, and she estimated that she would disembark halfway through. (To be continued......)
