Chapter 339: Hidden Feelings
On the third day after the palace banquet, Lexi's master came over.
He came to the capital before Lexi got married, and during this time he had been living in Zhang Chen's courtyard on the outskirts of the capital.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Chen also invited him to the General's Mansion, but he refused.
"If you don't go, where is your mother's family following your in-laws to celebrate the New Year? I'm already a little embarrassed to live with you! β
β¦β¦
This time, he came to say goodbye.
"I've been out for a long time, and I always have to go back and look at those things."
If you want to talk about things, there are only those herbs, Zhang Chen knows that these are just his excuses.
The old man didn't want to send people under the fence all the time, which was too uncomfortable.
"There are some things that I don't need to say, you should be clear," he rarely showed such a serious expression, and explained to Zhang Chen, who was sitting at the bottom, in an extremely emotional voice: "Lexi is lonely, since I was a child, I am the only master by my side, and by my side, she has also suffered a lot, and I will not be in front of her in the future, so I can only count on you to hurt her." β
"Stinky old man, what are you talking about? Ah Chen is my husband, of course he will be good to me and hurt me, do you still need to tell me? β
After listening to this, Lexi hummed with red eyes.
"I'm not afraid of your stupid appearance, causing trouble everywhere and no one will help you wipe your ass? Thanks to meeting Ah Chen, a stupid boy, if you are sold one day, you may even help others count the money! β
When Zhang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, not to mention that this sentence is really appropriate~
Lexi is too naΓ―ve, and she never thinks of them in the bad way when she meets people, but there are many good people in this world, and there are really not a few bad people, just let her meet a few, it is enough to fool her.
But seriously, isn't it exactly what she fell in love with at the beginning? If she really changes one day and becomes sophisticated and sleek, I don't know if I will like her as much as I do today.
"Of course, I'm happy to count the money! You want to count, but you don't have the money to do it! β
"You stinky girl, I'm going to die if you don't speak!"
"Why don't you say that you spoke first and smeared me in front of Ah Chen? I'm just a courtesy~"
"Discrediting you? You stinky girl with no conscience......"
The two of them teased for a long time as before, and then they suddenly found that Zhang Chen was sitting next to him and watching the excitement with his hands on his cheeks.
"Ahem, Ah Chen, I have a few words, I want to talk to this stinky girl in private, don't you mind?"
Well, even if you don't interject, people will think that you are in the way here.
When Zhang Chen withdrew from the house, the expressions of the two of them changed from laughing and scolding just now to becoming serious.
"Good apprentice, did you tell Ah Chen about that?"
"I, what do you want me to say?" Lexi has never shown such a dejected expression in front of people, "Do you want me to tell him that the child you miss in your heart may not be able to give birth to you in my life?" β
The old man also looked sad, "But this matter can't be hidden for long, I always have to tell him." β
"Hide it for as long as you can, and when he finds out one day, even if he wants to abandon me, I will never blame him."
"You stupid girl, what a ......"
It really hurts my heart.
He didn't say this, but said, "I brought a new set of medicines this time, you can try to take it for a few more days to see if it can have some effect." β
"Thank you, master, you are still the best to me~" A smile reappeared on Lexi's face, although it was a little stiff, it was still sweet.
Looking at her smile, the old man couldn't help but think of the scene when he picked her up by the stream.
It was an early winter morning, he went to the mountains to collect medicine, and picked up a swaddling cloth by a stream, at that time half of the swaddling clothes were soaked in the stream, and the little doll wrapped in it had been frozen purple all over, and the strength to cry was gone.
But as soon as she picked her up, she grinned at herself.
It is also for this reason that he named it Lexi.
When Lexi was taken back, because she had been soaked in ice water for a long time, her physical condition was extremely poor, and she took care of her for several months before she could barely recover her health, but in the end she still fell ill.
She was terribly cold.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been constantly raised with warm medicine for so many years, he might not even be able to live at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
Because of the cold, her palace was very cold, and when the small day came, if she didn't take the decoction specially prepared for her, she would be able to roll on the ground in pain.
Although she usually looks healthy and healthy, she is very noble inside, and a little wind and grass can make her sick.
But all these things cannot be said to anyone.
Zhang Chen is indeed rare for her, but Zhang Yicheng has been looking forward to Lexi giving birth to a son and a half daughter for Zhang Chen, and he expressed his attitude on the second day of marriage.
At that time, Lexi was speechless, and he didn't know how to respond, so he could only bow his head and remain silent, but he was tacitly regarded as shy by everyone, and Lexi's heart was full of sadness, so he could only swallow it by himself.
The master and apprentice were sad for a while, but they still couldn't come up with any good solutions.
With a stomach full of worries, Lexi's master left the capital, but Zhang Chen found that the soul of his little daughter-in-law seemed to follow him.
"Lexi, Lexi, which one do you think is better?"
Holding a few drawings of new-style furniture, Zhang Chen asked his daughter-in-law who was accompanying him, his brows were frowned, and his worry was undisguised.
Lexi came back to his senses and saw such an expression.
"Huh? What's up? β
"I said, if you look at the furniture painted in these pictures, which one is better?"
After several years of training, Zhang Chen's paintings are no longer as ghost-like as before, although they are not as good as those painted by calligraphers and painters, but they look very realistic.
Liu Mingxuan also once joked that Zhang Chen's painting like this can open up a new genre, and he can make whatever kind of painting is named.
Zhang Chen could only smile helplessly when he heard this, because he knew himself too well, he only made a move when he painted the style of furniture, but he didn't make it whatever he painted!
"It's all good," Zhang Chen obviously saw Lexi's perfunctory, "Choose this!" β
Lowering his head, Zhang Chen saw that what Lexi chose was the one that had been eliminated by himself yesterday, because he wanted to use this one as a blueprint for modification, he did not discard it, but at this moment he was mixed up in it.
"Can't you? Then change it, this one is okay, right? didn't get a response, Lexi thought that Zhang Chen was not satisfied with his choice, and raised his hand to another one.
"Lexi," Zhang Chen was noncommittal, "I think, the two of us should have a good talk." β
