Although Li Xie is his own junior brother, he is a foreign man after all, if he is walking on the rivers and lakes, Cao Ying doesn't care much about these. But now after all, it's not on the rivers and lakes, isn't it?

"Alright, Xiaoying! No need to rush! Look at the sky, you can't go outside to live, so just stay here with this stinky boy! Li Zhanji came and gave Cao Ying a step, Li Zhanji is an elder after all, he said to let Cao Ying stay here for the night, then she just listened to the words of the elders.

Of course, no matter how you say it, it's just an excuse, Cao Ying always stayed here overnight, but such an excuse, a psychological hint, can make many things different.

For example, now.

If the matter of Cao Ying staying here overnight is spread outside, when public opinion rises and Cao Ying's innocence is damaged, Cao Ying can take out this statement openly. Taking the initiative to stay and being asked to stay by the elders because they are worried about her safety are completely different concepts.

As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, no matter what time it is, listening to the words of the elders is always easy to accept.

"Okay, then it's going to be troublesome." Cao Ying only hesitated for a moment before coming down the steps. Now that it's completely dark, it will only take a little while for Qianniuwei to start patrolling the streets. Even if you leave right now, it is unrealistic to find an inn in such a short period of time, so it is better to stay here for the night.

"Okay, that's it. It's not too early, so I'll go first. Li Zhanji got up and patted Li Xie's shoulder to stop him from getting up. Then when he turned his back to Cao Ying, he quietly said to Li Xie with his mouth:

"Stinky boy did a nice job."

Li Zhanji really just wanted to leave Cao Ying for a meal, his original idea was to finish dinner earlier and leave early, so that Cao Ying's sister and brother would still have enough time to find an inn to live in.

But what Li Zhanji didn't expect was that after Cao Zhixiang, a stinky boy, was on the table, he vigorously gnawed on a large plate of bones such as phoenix claws, duck necks, etc., and there was less meat and less meat, and he refused to put down the gnaw, and the time was unconsciously dragged on for a long time.

The original version ate dinner for at most an hour, and ate a half hour and a half, don't look at the difference of only half an hour, but this half an hour is enough to make it completely dark, enough for their sister and brother to have no time to go out to find an inn.

So now he can see that although his son is still a chick, he definitely has a lot of eyes to deal with women.

Li Xie blinked his eyes, looking like he didn't understand. In fact, it takes a long time for these children to eat, and the things they play with are all from his hands. If you want to say that it is not intentional, even he Li Xie himself does not believe it, but these things are not easy to do.

Cao Ying's place was quickly arranged, because most of the guest rooms were small, so Li Xie directly arranged Cao Ying in the small courtyard where Lu Xiaomei's mother and daughter were.

After eating dinner and strolling around, Li Xie came to the small pavilion in Lu Xiaomei's courtyard as usual. As soon as Li Xie sat down, Cao Zhixiang, a kid who didn't recognize life at all, came to his side:

"Brother, are you here to read?" Li Xie held a book in one hand and sat on a stone chair in the pavilion, when an oil lamp had been lit on the table at this time, quietly burning, emitting a dull yellow light.

"That's right, my brother is here to read." After speaking, he glanced at Lu Xiaomei, who was lying on the window on the second floor: "Xiaoxiang, is today's food delicious?" ”

"Uh-huh, it's delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious. ”

"Would you like to eat again tomorrow?"

"Yes! Will my brother make it for me tomorrow? ”

"It's okay to make it for you, but you have to do my brother a favor."

"Do you want me to help my brother pull my sister over to chat with you?"

Li Xie looked at this child who was less than ten years old, and felt that he had entered the wrong crew, aren't ordinary foodie children all naïve? What's going on with Cao Zhixiang, who looks like a little adult?

And pulled my sister over to chat with you?

I'm afraid it's not to sell my sister for food!

"Ahem! Look there, the young lady who is having dinner with you today, this young lady is very timid, if you can let the young lady come down and play with you. I'll cook you another big meal tomorrow, a better meal than today. ”

Lu Xiaomei's situation has improved a lot, and even Li Xie sometimes doesn't come here, he can make it easy, and he has a peaceful night. At night, I dared to lie on the windowsill alone in a daze, but I didn't dare to go out of the door.

"Ah, but I've never done anything like that." Cao Zhixiang scratched his head in distress, pondered for a while, and then turned around and ran.

Li Xie didn't care what method Cao Zhixiang used, and he was sure that this little guy definitely didn't run away, but went to find someone for help. Because with this guy's foodie attributes, he is absolutely reluctant to have that big meal, so Li Xie thinks that this little guy probably went to her sister for help.

Cao Zhixiang did go to Cao Ying for help, but what Li Xie didn't know was. The little guy came to his sister's room, and after pushing the door and walking in, there was no one yet, so he sat down and said:

"My sister and brother are so bad! I told him to let my sister talk to him, and then he made me a big meal, and he didn't want it. He asked me to lie to the young lady, but I wouldn't do anything. ”

Cao Ying had just finished taking a shower in the room and was getting dressed. Cao Zhixiang pushed the door and walked in, Cao Ying was not surprised, she was dressed by herself, but she didn't want her younger brother to come to her directly, grabbed the corner of her clothes and began to complain.

But what the hell is this complaining about?

I told her to let my sister talk to him and let him cook me a big meal?

So you little thing sold your sister for food?

Cao Ying was so angry that her face turned black and she squatted down, but after squatting down, she saw her brother's aggrieved appearance, and she was reluctant to reprimand. I could only stretch out my finger and poke Cao Zhixiang's forehead hard.

"You little thing is really going to sell your sister for a little food!"

"No, how could I sell my sister for a little bit of food! My sister is so good, she must have a lot of delicious food to sell! Cao Zhixiang innocently replied.

Cao Ying knew that her younger brother was like this, so she just sighed and didn't say anything. In his father's vein, there is only one boy like the little guy. Since he was a child, he has been held in the hands of the family for fear of falling, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth.

has never received the slightest reprimand, so even if he is eight years old, Cao Zhixiang still retains the innocence and ignorance of that unique child.

If it was another time, another person, Cao Zhixiang said that he would sell himself to the other party, Cao Ying would definitely feel disgusted and disgusted. But the object is Li Xie, but there are some differences, Li Xie is a junior brother, and Cao Ying treats Li Xie as his own.

And Li Xie is also one of Cao Ying's few men who is not annoying. Cao Ying clearly knows her situation and knows that she instinctively feels disgusted with many men. She wants to change that, too, but she just can't.

Whenever she saw those men boasting and saying hypocritical things in front of her, Cao Ying would always show disgust from the bottom of her heart. But Li Xie is different, he originally said very little, and he didn't like to brag. Therefore, in disguise, it is not easy to arouse Cao Ying's disgust. And Li Xie's identity change here in Cao Ying is also very subtle, first hostile camps, but there is a relationship of mutual use.

This kind of relationship of mutual use makes the relationship between the two very delicate, and then suddenly the relationship between the two has changed from a hostile enemy to a close sister-brother relationship, and from enemies to their own people.

Then Li Xie began to think about Cao Ying because of Jue Yan, and found his sister to give it to Cao Ying in person, and Cao Ying also gave Li Xie the military token because of his master and helped him.
