The sixth day of the first month of March was the busiest time for Shen Xi...... Busy comforting his wife.

Xie Yun'er may be more generous, a woman with a husband and children is open-minded, but Lin Dai and Xie Hengnu are not so easy to "let go" of Shen Xi.

Especially Lin Dai, who has not been pregnant for three years, she has begun to doubt her life.

As for Xie Hengnu, he knew that he was going to separate again, and he was obsessed with Shen Xi in every way, and he didn't even play cards after moving to a new house, as long as Shen Xi sat down, Xiao Nizi looked at Shen Xi with affection, as if she wanted to melt Shen Xi's heart with gentle eyes.

There are still Yin Wen and Lu Xi'er at home, but after all, the two of them are young and ignorant, and they have not passed the door, and they don't understand the joy of the boudoir.

Shen Xi is most at ease because of Hui Niang, who is pregnant.

Hui Niang is a stupid woman, once she starts to do something, she doesn't stop and stop, she takes care of the business that Shen Xi gave her, even if she is almost seven months pregnant, she is still busy.

Shen Xi reminded her to rest more every time she went over, and Hui Niang agreed, but as long as Shen Xi left, she continued to be busy doing things, but Li Jin, as a sister in the boudoir, had nothing to do, because in the outer house, Li Jin nominally existed as Hui Niang's subordinate maid.

"At this time, I should not have gone on the expedition, because I probably won't be able to be with you until you give birth. If you continue to work like this, won't I be at ease on the battlefield? ”

On the fifth day of the third lunar month, Shen Xi came over very early in the afternoon, because he had to go back to the house early after night to prepare for the expedition early in the morning, Shen Xi could only leave an afternoon for Hui Niang and Li Jin.

is already an old husband and wife, Shen Xi is relatively light on the affairs of the boudoir, after all, Hui Niang is seven months pregnant, and Li Jin is not the kind of woman who is demanding about the affairs of the boudoir, but more of a courtesy.

Hui Niang said: "Master, the concubine is fine, it's not hard, but I'm afraid that I will miss the errand that the master explains." ”

These words made Shen Xi a little helpless.

Although Hui Niang accepted him physically and psychologically, she still regarded herself as a slave, compared to Hui Niang as his elder before, whether it was reprimanding or laughing and scolding, it was quite family and home. That kind of warmth has been a little long lost for Shen Xi.

But Shen Xi was not reluctant, he was originally a "dominant" Hui Niang, if he still wanted to pursue a reciprocal relationship, it would be difficult for some strongmen.

After all, Hui Niang has self-esteem, and the reason why she accepted to become Shen Xi's woman was mainly to convince her in her heart that I was forced by power, not by heart, and everything I do now is forced.

Shen Xi walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, beckoning to Li Jin, who honestly walked to his side, and then was held in his arms.

Shen Xi said: "After I leave, take care of your sister, don't let her be too busy, if there is anything, I will only ask you!" ”

Hui Niang gave Shen Xi a problem, Shen Xi transferred the problem to Li Jin, Li Jin was very innocent at this time, Hui Niang in her eyes was simply a representative of a strong woman, and her energy was terrifying, which made her ashamed, she couldn't even raise her head in front of Hui Niang, if Hui Niang continued to be mean to herself, what could she do?

"Old man......"

Li Jin's head was slightly bowed, with a little grievance and helplessness on her face, but she didn't dare to refuse Shen Xi's words.

Hui Niang supported her sister and said: "Master, don't be embarrassed, it's the concubine who wants to do more things to share the worries of the master, the master just needs to go to war with peace of mind, and the concubine will pay attention to rest, so as not to affect the child in the womb due to hard work." ”

This is a typical perfunctory, knowing that Shen Xi is leaving, she said this kind of thing to comfort people, no one can look at her when she turns around, how can Shen Xi know if she has more rest when she is out on the expedition?

Shen Xi knew that it was useless to say more, so he didn't mention it more, and pulled Hui Niang over, the spring night is short, it is the season of recovery in March, Shen Xi is a good young man with great energy, since he came to comfort his wife on purpose, no matter how hard he works, he must know how to be considerate of the women around him.

Hui Niang in the boudoir was a little more gentle and understanding, but it still made Shen Xi feel that she was sometimes very incomprehensible, and some things should have come naturally, but Hui Niang said aggrievedly: "Master, since there is Jin'er, and the concubine is seven months pregnant, I'm afraid it ......."

Shen Xi said angrily: "It's okay, I have my own measure." ”

……

……

In March, the spring rain continued, and when Shen Xi came over at noon, the sky outside was a little gloomy, and when he came out of the house in the afternoon, the rain in the yard was foggy, and the water dripping from the eaves "crackled" on the ground.

Hui Niang took the umbrella from Li Jin's hand and stepped forward to hold it up for Shen Xi, she would rather let herself get wet in the rain than Shen Xi to be wet by the rain.

Shen Xi put on a straight face: "Since you know it's raining, why don't you go back to the room soon?" ”

"Sir, you ......"

Hui Niang looked at Shen Xi with resentful eyes again.

Shen Xi said: "I have something, I will tell Jin'er." Jin'er, help your sister into the room first, and then talk to me in the hall. ”

Shen Xi didn't want Hui Niang to worry too much, so he could only explain to Li Jin if he had something, so he insisted on letting Hui Niang go back to the room to rest.

Even if Hui Niang is a workaholic, she still can't be too willful in front of Shen Xi, so she can only go back to the room obediently.

In the main hall, Shen Xi picked up the account books on the table and looked through them casually, although these accounts used the double-entry bookkeeping method he taught, they still gave him a headache. Li Jin and Hui Niang are both good at business, so he doesn't have to worry about anything, and he doesn't have to doubt Hui Niang and Li Jin's loyalty, because two women who have lost their original identities are difficult to move an inch in this world with money.

Li Jin and Hui Niang's business is based on the care of the governor and the yamen, others don't know that in fact, the rapidly rising business organization on the ground in Guangdong is actually behind the two women.

"Sir."

Li Jinlian moved lightly, came to the main hall, and saluted Shen Xi, with a graceful posture.

"Come here."

Shen Xi smiled and motioned for her to sit on his lap.

Li Jin was a little squirming, and Shen Xi glared at her: "What are you afraid of in your own home?" And there are no outsiders. ”

In the religion of etiquette, the main hall is a place where a family receives guests and worships ancestors, which is very sacred, and as a concubine, there is no qualification to enter the main hall, even if it is called over, it must be respectful and courteous without any slackness.

Shen Xi doesn't care about this. In his opinion, in his own home, as long as others don't see it, he can be intimate at any time and anywhere, even at home, he often has some small intimate actions with Xie Yun'er and them in the main hall.

But for Li Jin, who abides by the etiquette law, Shen Xi's request made her very difficult. But she still walked over as she said and sat on Shen Xi's lap stiffly.

Shen Xi said: "Your sister's life here is a little harder, but don't worry, I said that I will not treat you badly, and I will definitely do it, and I will find a suitable time to officially admit you and your sister into the door in the future." ”

"Thank you, Master."

Li Jin didn't dare to have any expectations for Shen Xi's promise, after she came out of prison, she had already recognized the status quo, she was just a woman without any name behind Shen Xi's scenes.

Shen Xi took out some official documents, all of which were needed to do business in the local area, Shen Xi handed them over to Li Jin, and said: "Don't let your sister see it, she is the most stubborn, I will not be there in the next two or three months, you have to take good care of her." ”

In the daily relationship, Li Jin can clearly feel Shen Xi's love for Hui Niang, this kind of love makes her feel extremely envious, even if she has no reputation, it is a kind of happiness for her to be so attached to a man, but unfortunately Shen Xi always treats her as an ordinary woman.

Li Jin lowered his head and said, "The slave and maid obey the master's orders." ”

Shen Xi said with a smile: "Let you stop calling yourself a slave, I still like the self-esteem and arrogance that you exude when I first met you." Speaking of which, you and I are destined, all because of a painting, and that painting is my first impression of you. ”

"Old man......"

Li Jin looked up at Shen Xi, his apricot eyes widened, and his face was full of shock. Shen Xi had used many methods to prove that in fact, the original somewhat charming painting scroll was painted based on a certain picture of a lady, and now Shen Xi finally admitted that the protagonist in the painting was none other than her Li Jin.

Shen Xi said: "What, shy? In fact, it was just a glimpse at the time, I admired you very much, but unfortunately I never thought that one day I would let you stay by my side, which can be regarded as a providence in the dark. ”

Although Li Jin is very traditional, she is also a person who believes in fate, and immediately said: "Cheap concubine...... Ever since I met the master, I have admired the master very much. ”

It's like confessing, Shen Xi told a secret at the beginning, and Li Jin also told the secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

At that time, Li Jin was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who had just fallen in love, and it was a little embarrassing to meet Shen Xi, but Shen Xi's talent was extraordinary, and he helped the Li family solve the crisis of "Qingming Riverside Picture", which was a great benefactor of the Li family. After all, Li Jin is not an ignorant woman and child who is raised in the deep boudoir, she has her own opinions, and she can have her own love and hate.

When the Li family was in trouble, what Li Jin thought of was to let the maid go to Shen Xi, hoping to get Shen Xi's protection, but unfortunately Shen Xi went to the northwest at that time and failed to save the Li family at a critical time, but in the end he rescued her.

"Really?" Shen Xi smiled.

Li Jin nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”

Shen Xi didn't expect that Li Jin, who had always been restrained, would have such a free and bold time, and he would actually tell the little secret of the year in front of him, and suddenly the relationship between the two felt much closer.

Shen Xi smiled: "I always felt that something was missing before, but now that I think about it, after you got started, you didn't paint a picture for you." Go and prepare the pen and ink, and I will personally draw one for you as a gift. ”

"Yes, sir."

Li Jin's pink cheeks were dyed red, and he walked to the back hall to get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and personally studied ink for Shen Xi, and after the red sleeves were fragrant, he reached out to untie his belt, and Shen Xi took her hand away with a smile.

Shen Xi glanced at her and said, "Who are you as a master?" This spring is cold...... You're standing there, and it's not long before you're done, and then you're done, and then you're going to show it to your sister, and when she's going to give birth, I'll draw one for her and the baby. ”

Shen Xi picked up a brush to paint, although he was not very accustomed to it, but he still vividly presented Li Jin's appearance and clothes on the paper.

In the end, Li Jin held the painting, and suddenly thought of the scene when he met Shen Xi for the first time, and tears fell down.

"Don't like it?" Shen Xi asked, "If you don't like it, tear it up." ”

Li Jin wiped his tears and said, "No, the concubine likes it very much, thank you, master." (To be continued.) )
