Chen Xiujie took the booklet from Gui Chun's hand and looked at it carefully, roughly comparing it with what he saw in the post house, and it was true. As for this time, there were thousands of question marks in my heart, and I could only suppress them for a while, and I looked up and said to Gui Chun: "You personally run and send two volumes to the Qingzhou Mansion ......"

Gui Chun nodded heavily, although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask more, and he was worried about how to explain to the young master when he went back.

Chen Xiujie glanced at those strange furnishings again, slowly retracted his gaze, and got up to leave. When he got to the street outside, he paused briefly, looked back at the crooked handwriting on the door, and muttered, "It's really unsightly." ”

There was gradually more different emotions in his eyes, and he took a heavy breath. Taking a step, Chen Xiujie walked towards the entrance of the street. There are many things that should indeed be discussed with my son.

Whether the sky is about to fall or not, there is nothing more important at the moment.

……

In May, for more than half a month, Chen Ji was lying in bed and couldn't move, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Chen family spent a lot of worry. Now that Chen Ji has improved, Lin Yunyi has a family gathering, and it is rare for the family to sit together and eat in peace.

This day is already the 26th day of May in the 21st year of the Jokhang Apocalypse.

When Chen Xiujie came back, it was still early, his wife should still be in the kitchen, although her daughter's mental state had recovered, but in recent days, she was frightened because of her son's affairs, and the old lady passed the word that she was good to give birth to.

After thinking about it, only Chen Ji's West Chamber was as "idle" as always, and in the past half a year, the initiator of all things in the Chen family also originated from Chen Ji, and Chen Xiujie couldn't help but start to reflect on his previous education failure.

Just thinking about this, Lin Yunyi suddenly appeared, and after looking at him, she carefully trotted towards him with her skirt, grabbed him, and said, "The master is back, come over to help." ”

Chen Xiujie was dragged out of a distance before she reacted, looking at his wife's appearance, she didn't refuse, let's leave the conversation with her son later.

It's just that when he got to the place, it was too late to regret coming.

——

When I woke up in the morning, the sky was clear, and the warm sunlight was dyed with a layer of pale red, cutting through the courtyard wall and projecting in, scattered on the slightly damp stone slabs, and the water stains gathered to reflect the cyan color of the sky in a corner. The flowers and plants in the corner flower bed that were smashed by the heavy rain were stubbornly holding their heads high, trying their best to hold the dew drops of "overnight warmth". The slightly damp morning breeze blew off, brushing off the water stains on the bamboo leaves, and a gradual and shallow rustling sound came.

Under the eaves, Chen Ji is still in the same posture as always, but whenever he puts a fishing rod in front of him, it is like "fishing alone in the cold river".

It's been a while since he's woken up again, and this time he's got a deeper understanding of his body. After a serious reflection, in the final analysis, the root cause was that he had been thinking too much and his spirit was too tight, which led to him not having too strong a "sense of belonging" for himself, and subconsciously the idea of "I am not me" prevailed. Through that serious illness, the pain that originated from the spiritual level was uncontrollable after it was revealed.

In this regard, Chen Ji made a detailed analysis.

Of course, in addition to this, he still has more thoughts on the belongings he earns outside. During this time, listening to Gui Chun's revelations, he had already noticed something unusual. However, Xiao Ran stared at him too much, and he never had the opportunity to have a good chat with Gui Chun, let alone go out to meet with several of his major shareholders. And it was also Gui Chun who inquired about the news that Hou Mingyu was confined by his father after he fell ill.

For the bookstore, this is tantamount to "the house leak happened to rain overnight".

Chen Ji felt so sad, is it really that difficult to do something?

Xiao Ran came in from outside, holding the medicinal porridge in his hand, came to him, watched him eat, and said that he would have a family reunion dinner together in the evening.

Chen Ji drank porridge slowly, pricked up his ears, and listened to some of them, and after half a bowl, he turned his head and asked, "Do we want to go over and help?" ”

Xiao Ran looked at him and shook his head: "Madam said that the young master should take care of it." ”

Chen Ji sighed, and after eating the remaining half of the bowl, he handed over the bowl and said, "Don't you really need to help?" ”

Xiao Ran shook his head: "I really don't need to." ”

Chen Ji reminded: "Xiao Ran, you see that I can eat, sleep and move around now, you don't have to follow me at any time, there are not many people in the family, you can go over and help." ”

The little girl shook her head violently, her eyes were about to burst into water, and she said resolutely: "Young master, don't try to break me up, I won't leave you no matter what you say this time." ”

Chen Ji retracted his gaze stupidly, okay. At that moment, he said, "Then you go to the house and move a chair and play chess with me." ”

Xiao Ran sighed, turned around and went in, and after a while, he took something out, I don't know what he remembered again, and suddenly became serious, "Young Master, Xiao Ran is really not lazy......"

Chen Ji pursed his lips and smiled, and motioned for the little girl to sit down first.

Xiao Ran is more serious.

Chen Ji had no choice but to restrain his joking face, and said, "Xiao Ran is not lazy, I know." After staring at the little girl for a while, Chen Ji got up and leaned over, pinched the little girl's cheek and pulled it to both sides.

"Young Master......"

Chen Ji waved his hand, sat back, and said, "Sit down." ”

“……”

After Xiao Ran learned the rules of backgammon, he was soon promoted to a nine-dan master, and if Chen Ji didn't have some thought, he wouldn't be able to play much. At the moment, I have other things in mind, but I have lost several games in a row. The little girl couldn't stand it anymore, and from time to time she pointed to the chessboard and reminded: "Young master, block here!" ”

Chen Ji said twice, took back the chess pieces that had fallen, and put them where the little girl pointed out. After two or three hands, the scene reappeared.

"Young master, here and here, ......"

"Oh...... Well! ”

……

Later in the evening, lunch was brought from the kitchen, and the master and servant made a temporary truce. After breakfast, Xiao Ran boiled water to make tea, Chen Ji went back to the house and took a copy of Xiao Ran's newly bought Zhiwei novel, and read it seriously.

From time to time, Chen Ji put down the book, looked at Xiao Ran who was squatting by the clay stove, holding a pu fan to fan the fire, and said curiously: "Xiao Ran, do you say that there are really fox spirits in this world?" ”

Xiao Ran turned his head and said cutely: "Huh? I...... I don't know. ”

Chen Ji smiled and leaned back again.

In the afternoon, the tea was clear, and on the chessboard, Chen Ji won all the way.

During this time, a cloud of the hour came over, and a pot of charcoal was born in the small courtyard.

At the end of Shen Shi, someone came to the front hall to spread the word, Chen Ji asked Xiao Ran to collect the chess and books, freshen up with hot water, and changed into a much more formal outfit with Xiao Ran's help before walking to the front hall.

……

In the flower hall, when Chen Ji came over, the table had already been set up, and the dishes and chopsticks were placed on the table. So he took Xiao Ran and turned around and went to the kitchen, and pulled Chen Wenxuan back by the ear halfway.

The Chen family doesn't have those messy rules, and if they really follow those, only father and son will eat at the table.

Chen Ji bowed and tried his best to follow Chen Wenxuan's footsteps, after all, it was really pulling his ears, Xiao Ran had shrunk back when he saw this, and then ran directly to the kitchen and happily helped.

After walking for a while, Chen Wenxuan let go of him, Chen Ji rubbed his ears, twitched his nose, and said, "Sister, don't wait to pull people's ears like this." ”

Chen Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, and smiled, "If you don't talk about it, I told you about my daughter-in-law after a while, but I can't talk about it." ”

Chen Ji was stunned immediately, didn't he have a target for this breath?

"Sister, what did you say? I still want to support you, not to mention my daughter-in-law! ”

was slapped on the back of the head, and Chen Wenxuan made a straight face: "What nonsense, don't talk about how to become a daughter-in-law!" ”

"Well, too. But you can't rush this kind of thing. ”

"How can you do it without hurry, you are almost eighteen years old!"

"I'm only seventeen, I'm still a kid." Chen Ji then made a sudden expression, looked at Chen Wenxuan fixedly, and said in surprise, "It won't be arranged at home, right?" ”

"It's a surprise, sooner or later it has to be arranged!" Chen Wenxuan walked forward, Chen Ji caught up, and said with a bitter face, "Sister, you have to help me with this!" ”

"How can I help you?" Chen Wenxuan looked at Chen Ji who grabbed her sleeve and swayed coquettishly, and couldn't help but feel funny, and her face was very serious.

"I don't want to get married so early."

Chen Wenxuan raised her eyebrows.

Chen Ji suppressed his voice and looked around secretly, "I have a girl I like." ”

"Huh?" Chen Wenxuan stared at the beads of her eyes, and only stabilized after a while, and asked again and again: "Whose girl?" How did you meet? How are people? ”

Chen Ji peeked around, and at the same time made a vigorous gesture of silence, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Chen Wenxuan didn't care about this, and continued: "You name it, I'll help you take a look." ”

"Sister, don't treat you like this." Chen Ji didn't care how it ended later, and said toughly, "In short, I want to marry my own daughter-in-law, and you can't mix it indiscriminately." And you also have to consider the reality, my reputation, wouldn't other girls have to suffer a lot of white eyes when they live with me! ”

Chen Wenxuan wanted to say something more, but Chen Ji had already found out that someone was coming, and pinched Chen Wenxuan's arm at the moment, and after exerting some strength, Chen Wenxuan was in pain and glared at him viciously.

Chen Ji accompanied the smiling face, his eyes full of pleading.

Chen Wenxuan rubbed the pinched arm, glared at it angrily, and then nodded reluctantly, and said in a suppressed voice: "I will only help you keep it secret for a while!" ”

“……”

Chen Xiujie had already come over with his wife, and Chen Ji didn't dare to say more.

Anyway, let's deal with it like this first, and then the rest of the thing, uh, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

Chen Xiujie chatted happily when she saw her sister and brother, but she just mentioned a few words and didn't ask too much. Chen Ji didn't dare to give his eyes indiscriminately, so he could only hope that Chen Wenxuan would abide by the spirit of the contract.

On the way to the flower hall, Chen Wenxuan called out to her father coldly, and then said, "Brother Ji is almost eighteen years old!" ”
