023: Four joys

"Why did you give me a gift?"

"Fifth brother and I are going to Northern Xinjiang, and we don't know when we will be able to come back, let it be your companion, so as not to make you bored. ”

Nalan Jinxiu rubbed the cat in her arms and thought thoughtfully: "Everyone is hard in northern Xinjiang, why do you want to go?"

Ji Hongxuan laughed self-deprecatingly: "You know that I am from a low background, and if I want to not be trampled on by others in the future, I must have a way out." I don't want to have another thing. ”

"Isn't the imperial examination a shortcut?"

"It's okay for me to dance with a knife and a gun, just forget about reading!"

"You know that you are a rough man who wields knives and guns, and your consciousness is very high!" Nalan Jinxiu smiled in his eyes.

Ji Hongxuan picked his hair a little stupidly: "Your handwriting is so ugly, and you are from a martial arts family, so you are embarrassed to laugh at me for being a rough person." ”

"Okay, okay, you're not a rough person, I'm okay!"

"Well, the reckless one. ”

Nalan Jinxiu glanced at him: "You can go to the border to fight with peace of mind, there are many things I can do, and I won't feel bored." ”

Ji Hongxuan restrained his joking look and sighed: "Silly girl, Ji Mansion is so big but there is no one to talk to, so you are often homesick, don't think I can't see it." ”

Nalan Jinxiu's hand froze, and after being reborn, she always wanted to forget the past and start over. But those things engraved in the bottom of my heart will always pop up from time to time. No matter how optimistic she pretends to be on the surface, her deceased parents, the person she loved dearly, will still inadvertently make her miserable.

There are three thousand prosperous people in this world, but in her eyes, they are only like smoke clouds. She is as small as a duckweed, she can neither change nor create anything, the only thing she can do is to go with the flow. But she is not a saint, she can't be completely like a stop of water, deep in her heart, she still longs for time to be reversed, she can go back to the time when she was not out of the cabinet, back to the time in the Taifu Mansion.

At that time, the entire Taifu Mansion was always happy. Her mother taught her to be a female celebrity very gently, and when her father returned from the next dynasty, he would often buy some delicious snacks for her on the side of the road. Sometimes it's a packet of fried chestnuts with sugar, sometimes it's a packet of pine nut candy, sometimes it's a few pieces of hibiscus cake, sometimes it's scones with a strong milky flavor......

No matter what her father brought back, she always opened it with joy, and the sweet taste remained between her lips and teeth, and even more in her heart.

Her luck was wiped out the moment she met Zong Xuanyi, and she finally ended up with no skin. She said she hated herself for not knowing anyone, so why didn't she wish he had never appeared?

Ji Hongxuan saw her stiff body, her childish cheeks were faintly sad, and she caressed her with pity, with a very soft force, which made people feel inexplicably stable.

Nalan Jinxiu looked at the young man's stubborn eyebrows, reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips, and pulled out a smile: "Don't coax me, I don't think it's coordinated at all, like a big child coaxing a child." ”

"Poof!" Ji Hongxuan laughed: "A big day is also a big day, besides, I'm a few months older than you, how can I become a big child and a little child?"

Nalan Jinxiu thought that he was nineteen years old, and he should be more tolerant of such a young man, so he interrupted: "By the way, this cat looks so special, does it have a name?"

Ji Hongxuan shook his head: "This was originally a gift for you, and the name naturally has to be taken by you." ”

Nalan Jinxiu looked at the kitten seriously for a while, and said with a smile: "You see that it is born round and jade, especially like Sixi pills, otherwise call it Sixi!"

"Four joys?" Ji Hongxuan raised his voice.

"Well, Sixi. ”

Ji Hongxuan slapped her forehead with his fingers, and his tone was not good: "What are you pretending to be in your head?" This is a lion cat, how can such a rare breed be given a domineering name, otherwise it should be elegant, you can be good, Sixi, you can figure it out!"

Nalan Jinxiu rubbed his forehead that was touched by him, and fought back: "This is a gift you gave me, that is, mine, I can name it whatever I want, why is it in your way?"

"You ......"

"What am I? It's so fat and it's like a ball, and the name Sixi is so festive!"

Ji Hongxuan looked at her like a monster, and she also looked confident, not only looking at him intently, but also glaring at him fiercely. Ji Hongxuan was helpless, so he had to admit defeat: "That's it, you grew up in the Ji family since you were a child, and I forgot that you are the daughter of the king of Zhenbei." ”

Nalan Jinxiu didn't want to argue with him, but he always felt a little disgusted in his words, and couldn't help but say: "The tone of your speech is clearly to despise the martial artists, and you want to join the army, which contradicts yourself." ”

Ji Hongxuan never thought that she just said that she didn't study well and wanted to join the army, but instead became a handle for her to squeeze herself. has been with her for so long, he still knows a little about her, and he has a soft and not hard temperament, if he follows the hair, it is much easier to get along.

"Miss Jin'er, what you said is right, this little thing will be called Sixi in the future. After he finished speaking, Nalan Jinxiu was still indifferent, so he looked at the cat with a very exaggerated expression, and said to himself: "Sixi, you see that your master is pretending to be cold there, hurry up and coax her." ”

Sixi seemed to be very spiritual, arching back and forth in her arms, and shaking her little head from time to time. Nalan Jinxiu was amused by its cute appearance, and grabbed its ears with both hands: "Little thing, you said that you are clearly a cat, why can you make such a dog-legged action?"

Ji Hongxuan reached out and touched Sixi's head, and asked as if unintentionally, "Jin'er, you just came back from the third brother?"

"Hmm. ”

"What is the third brother doing?"

"Read a book. After speaking, he remembered that he was going to force himself to practice calligraphy tomorrow, so he could only sigh helplessly: "I should be writing at this time." ”

Ji Hongxuan saw her reaction in his eyes, and frowned slightly: "The third brother's handwriting is excellent." ”

"What does it have to do with me?"

"What? Did he mess with you?"

"He said that my handwriting is ugly, and he will disgrace the face of the Ji family, and he will supervise my writing from tomorrow. ”

"Then you ......" Ji Hongxuan stopped when he wanted to speak.

Nalan Jinxiu was puzzled: "How can you say half of what you say?"

"No, I just think it's a little strange, the third brother has always avoided you, how can he teach you to write now?"

"It's not a good thing to write, and if I could, I'd rather not write. ”

"Your words are really ugly, you can't get on the stage, and you will inevitably be laughed at in the future, and the third brother is also kind. ”

Nalan Jinxiu glanced at him, and said angrily: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and I don't test for fame, it is enough to be able to write, what's the use of writing so well!"

Ji Hongxuan was amused by her, and shook his head helplessly: "You are embarrassed to say that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, when did she learn medical skills, that is the ability to save people." ”

"Of course I've always been, but I didn't like you before, so I didn't bother to help you. ”

Ji Hongxuan smiled and said, "Cousin Jin'er, what you said is right, the little one is served." ”

"Really?"

"Well, convincing. ”
