"Jing Nu? You're here too? ”

Suddenly, someone spoke behind her back, startling Jingnu, and when she turned around, she saw Li Xi with a surprised face.

I'll see you again half a year later, and suddenly I'm a little shrunken.

She lowered her head and saluted Li Xi, "I've seen my son." ”

From Li Xi being ridiculed by everyone, to his fame by selling wine, to Yang Huahua's buying of her, and then Li Xi took office as an official, it can be said that she personally experienced the whole process of Li Xi's rapid rise.

In the face of such a young man who makes people look up, she was surprised and admired, but after all, she had seen Li Xi, and even had some good friendship with him, so when she saw Li Xi at that time, she was just looking up to a powerful person.

I even have to say that when Yang Huahua has semi-openly regarded herself as Li Xi's woman, the contact between Li Mansion and Pei Yangfu has gradually increased, and she has also seen Li Xi a few times, with the heart of widowhood for her deceased husband and broken by the blows of her in-laws and brother and sister-in-law one after another, every time she sees a young and promising and gentle and considerate handsome son like Li Xi, she can't help but feel a heartbeat that is indescribable.

"Lady, have a dime of wine."

He always said this, and when he said this, he would pass a flask, and always with a smile on his face, and when he smiled, he showed six white teeth, and there was a gentle light in his eyes.

Unlike those guys who like to sit in the store and drink a few bowls of wine and eat a pound of dog meat, he has a faint elegance on his body, and people say what is this called, yes, this is called gentle and elegant.

But now, he is already a big official.

When the appointment letter of the imperial court and Li Xi's letter almost arrived in Jinyuan, Yang Huahua ordered him to enter Beijing with Yang Zhao and be responsible for serving Li Xi's daily life, although she didn't understand it very well, she still heard some information from the discussions of the people in the palace, and he, Li Xi, was promoted again.

So, although the master spoke, she couldn't refuse, but all the way north, she couldn't help but have an inexplicable huge panic in her heart.

Of course, it's not so much panic as awe.

In her heart, she really can't imagine how a young man who is only eighteen years old has come to this day step by step, from a guy who is ridiculed by everyone, to an official master, the master of a county! This is already surprising enough, but now, only a few months later, what does Ah Jin say, he is already a big official in charge of Caoyun! The six-rank official is bigger than the county commander!

For her, the county magistrate can already be compared to the Jade Emperor, but the young man who came to his shop with a touch of shyness a few months ago is now even more powerful than the county magistrate!

After saluting at this time, she couldn't help but raise her head curiously and glanced at Li Xi, feeling inexplicably in awe.

At this time, Li Xi still smiled at her gently like he had done in Shuzhou before, and then waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "What a Yang Zhao, you dare not tell me." ”

Jing Nu's heart tightened when she heard this, and then she quickly lowered her head and said timidly: "Son, yes...... It was Mrs. Yang who ordered her maid to come......"

Li Xi was stunned when he heard this, looked down at her, and then, as if he understood something, he looked up and saw that Lianlian was still beside him, so he waved his hand at her, and when Lianlian walked away, he smiled and said to Jingnu: "Boss, am I a man-eating monster?" ”

Jing Nu raised her head when she heard this, and looked at him timidly, "Of course the prince is not, the prince is, he is a big official!" ”

Li Xi waved his hand, "The big official, just a small official who is responsible for transporting grain to Chang'an!" ”

These few words seemed to gradually make Jing Nu begin to find Li Xi's shadow in the past, so her eyes began to be less evasive, but she still couldn't help but look at Li Xi curiously, "Son, Madame sent the maid here because she was afraid that the maid would have no one to serve here, so she ordered the maid to serve the princess." ”

If it were someone else, he would have been annoyed by being looked up and down like this, but at this time, Li Xi always had a warm smile on his face, so unconsciously, the awe in Jing Nu's heart began to fade gradually.

At this time, Li Xi nodded when he heard this, and he was not ready to think carefully about her idea of breaking Hua Nu and Ah Jin's boudoir women, and even for Li Xi at the moment, Hua Nu suddenly sent Jing Nu over, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

So he said: "It's still thoughtful...... and said: "It's so cold outside, let's stop standing outside and talking, let's go, go to the house, you just came, there are some things to ask you." ”

So saying, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, and walked in first.

Chang'an in winter, extremely cold, after the rain in spring and autumn, Chang'an has not officially snowed in the whole winter, the air is very dry, which makes the climate appear colder and colder, but compared with the northern winter of the 21st century, in fact, the temperature in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty is not so low.

However, in the north of the 21st century, there is heating, and the current Datang has no heating.

After entering the room, Li Xi waved his hand, inspected it first, and found that although this room was small, the layout was quite exquisite, so he nodded with satisfaction. Because it is close to the study, so Lianlian lived here before, she was responsible for listening to Li Xi's greeting in the study, serving tea and pouring water at any time, and now Jingnu is here, according to the remote control decree of Hua Nu and Lan'er in Shuzhou, this room belongs to Jingnu.

Li Xi found a chair to sit down, and found that Jing Nu just stood at the door timidly after closing the door, he smiled, "You sit down first, I'll call someone to add a stove to this house, and you can tell me how you are doing in Shuzhou, Yang Zhao also said something roughly, but he is an outsider after all, and he doesn't know what is going on in your house......"

Hearing him say this, Jing Nu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Obviously, Li Xi just wanted to inquire about the news of his wives.

In fact, the identity of Jingnu is quite embarrassing at the moment.

She was sent by Yang Huahua and Wu Lan to take care of Li Xi's diet and daily life, relatively speaking, when Wu Lan and Yang Huahua were not there, she was almost their spokesperson, but on the contrary, she was not Li Xi's person.

Before leaving, whether it was Yang Huahua or A Jin, there were more or less hints, so her identity became more and more embarrassing after she came to Chang'an.

If you want to say that you refuse from the bottom of your heart, then you can't. After all, she has always had a good feeling for Li Xi, and she had the intention to keep the festival for her deceased husband before, but now, her heart has long since stopped belonging to anyone, and in the face of Li Xi, a young and promising person who is also personable and particularly gentle and amiable, Jingnu naturally has no sense of disgust.

But as long as she thought of Yang Huahua and Ah Jin's hints, she couldn't help but be a little scared.

It's just that when she heard Li Xi say that she wanted to ask about the things in the house, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but somehow, she had another strange feeling in her heart.

Seemingly, is it lost?

Li Xi pushed the door and went out, and Zhang Luo started to add a stove to the house.

Standing timidly in the corner of the room, she quietly watched Li Xi directing the stove of life back and forth, and gradually felt that the Li Xi who was in Shuzhou in the past, and the Li Xi who had fantasized countless times on the road, finally connected with the current Li Xi, who still treats herself very gently after becoming a big official.

The stove was burning, and in a few moments the room was much warmer.

Frankly speaking, suddenly coming to Chang'an, a cold place that seems relatively warm even in winter, Jingnu really felt a little cold, and at this time the stove rose in the room, and she felt a lot more comfortable watching Li Xi seriously take the tongs to stir the charcoal there.

Lianlian had already brewed a cup of tea for Li Xi, and Li Xi, who was holding fragrant tea after making the stove, seemed to be particularly leisurely and comfortable, Thaksin pointed to a seat next to him, and said to Jingnu: "Sit down, sit down, tell me, I'm not in Shuzhou for this time, Lan'er and Hua Nu, what are they busy with?" What's the fun thing not to have? ”

Lian Lian took the door with her when she left, and at this time this room seemed to be a warm little world for reading.

Jingnu sat down next to her, and Li Xi beckoned to her again, "You just came from the south, aren't you cold?" Sit closer to the stove. Then he shook his head and laughed at himself, "I don't know what's wrong with you?" Did the flower slave tell you something? Why did you see me this time, so unnatural, as if I was a monster and so afraid of me! ”

Jing Nu smiled for the first time when she heard this, if Li Xi didn't mention the flower slave, it was okay to mention Yang Huahua, she couldn't help but think of Yang Huahua's words before leaving-"Right now, he is alone in Chang'an, and no one takes care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and besides, Chang'an City has always been full of flowers, and he is a greedy mouthful, and he may not have a few people around him at this time, after you go, if he is fine, if he is restless, you have to help me kick those women away from him......"

He is just a subordinate who was bought for 100,000 yuan, Li Xi is his master's man, what does he want, how can he manage it? He is surrounded by other women, where can he "kick"?

Carrying the chair to the stove, it was almost a position to talk to Li Xi, she lowered her head, thought for a while, and then said: "Back to my son, everything is fine at home, but the two ladies miss you very much......"

Jingnu is not eloquent, but even if she just talks about when some flower slaves and Lan'er get up, what they do after they get up, what they will eat for breakfast, what they will say after dinner, and what they will be busy with every day, it is also precious for Li Xi - as he himself said, business, officialdom, these things, Yang Zhao can naturally explain very clearly, but it is impossible for him to know the things between several women in his family.

And with just a few letters, how can you comfort the lovesickness?

“…… By the way, in August, Mrs. wanted to change the names of the little boy and the young lady, and was ready to let the little boy and the young lady have the surname Yang, and even thought about letting them both change their surnames to Li, but the Pei family did not agree, and in the yamen, the old man Pei found the county magistrate and the master of Liu, and later the master of the Liu family brought the young lady of the Liu family to come over and say, and finally gave up, and the lady had already promised to hand over the little boy Pei Hui to the old man Pei after the New Year, but it was the young lady, and the old man Pei agreed that she would continue to stay here......"

Li Xi took the tongs and unconsciously touched the red charcoal fire in the stove, sighed when he heard this, and said, "So...... It's good. Old man Pei naturally will not give up his grandson, as for changing his name and surname...... It's even more nonsense. The Pei family is in our Jinyuan County, and it can be regarded as a family with status and status, and Hua Nu doesn't want to think about it, if Old Man Pei even agrees to this, how will he continue in this county? You don't have to think about it......"

"By the way, with Hua Nu's mind, she won't be so stupid, I guess she didn't plan to keep Pei Hui in the first place, just to be able to leave Xiao Nannan...... After all, now their sisters and brothers are still young, in a few years, when they are a little older, the Pei family will still have to chase their grandchildren back, and now when it comes to this matter, they can leave a ...... at worst."

Talking and analyzing, Li Xi understood in his heart that Hua Nu was preparing to marry him.

No matter where you go to be reasonable, if the husband dies and the wife lives with the children, even the grandfather has no right to take away the grandson, but if the woman wants to remarry someone else, then the child's grandfather naturally has a good reason to take the children back. And it is a smarter way to solve this matter in advance and reach a tacit understanding with the Pei family.

It's just that the flower slave has repeatedly said that he would rather keep his children than marry himself? Why did she leave for a few months, and now she has changed her mind?

Thinking about it now, the appearance of the little girl who was seduced by the flower slave to call her father when she was in Jinyuan is already a little blurred.

Waving his hand, as if to sweep away those chaotic thoughts of Miao Yuan, Li Xi said: "Forget it, don't talk about this, by the way, Jingnu, tell me about yourself?" I remember when I left Shuzhou, you were doing well with Hua Nu, but what about the recent period? Is it okay? ”

Jing Nu nodded when she heard this, and the two of them gossiped like old friends for half the night, but it made her really start to relax, "The maid is okay, Mrs. Yang and Miss Ah Jin treat the maid very well, and the other people in the house are also kind to the maid, that is, they often go to your house, and Mrs. Wu is also very affectionate to the maid." ”

Li Xi smiled and nodded, "That's good." ”

He pointed to Wu Lan again, and said: "Chang'an is not as good as our Shuzhou Jinyuan, come here, you have to pay attention to adding more clothes, by the way, go back and send Gengxin to find someone to measure your body, and make you a few cotton clothes to wear before the year. ”

Hearing this, Jingnu nodded again.

But at this time, there was a piece of charcoal in the furnace that was burning and suddenly cracked, and a piece of charcoal cracked, and suddenly the pieces of charcoal on it had no support, so it collapsed and rolled down, so suddenly a few sparks flew out, one of which happened to fall on the back of Jingnu's hand, and suddenly she retracted her hand with a "ah" sound.

Li Xi was taken aback, stood up and took Jing Nu's hand and looked at it, because Jing Nu shook her hand immediately after she was in pain, so the spark had already been thrown off, and at this time, there was only a little red bean mark on the back of her hand.

Li Xi stretched out his hand and rubbed it for her, and smiled, "It scared me, I just burned it, I don't want to get in the way, what do you think, does it hurt?" ”

As early as when Li Xi grabbed her hand, Jing Nu's heart had already suddenly stirred, and when Li Xi asked, the heat he let out dissipated at the end of his ears and nose, and it made Jing Nu feel more and more blushing and heartbeat, but where could she care about the pain?

So she shook her head, "No, it's okay...... It doesn't hurt anymore. ”

She tried to withdraw her hand, but hesitated, but still didn't move.

Some don't dare, and some are reluctant.

Who knew that Li Xi was holding it in one hand, but he refused to let go.

He turned around and pulled the chair, and sat down next to her again—still holding her hand.

He stared at Jingnu with blazing eyes, and after a while, he saw Jingnu lower her head, and then, he suddenly asked, "I haven't seen you for so long, have you thought about me?" ”

These words suddenly made Jing Nu not know how to answer.

Said you thought about it? Seem...... Inappropriate. Unless you are mentally prepared for something that may happen next.

Said you haven't thought about it? Seem...... It's a little against my will.

The passages on both sides of the house were opened, and even as early as when Li Xi was still in Shuzhou, even the small door that symbolized the surname had been demolished, and it was simply a family. The subordinates in the mansions on both sides of the price flickered around all day long, and what they talked about was nothing more than the two hostesses on both sides and the male host on both sides, so Jing Nu didn't need to take the initiative to think about it, just listening to the stories about Li Xi told by the ladies, maids, mothers-in-law, and servants on both sides of the mansion every day was enough for her to think of Li Xi countless times every day, and even, many times she fell into a dream directly.

After a long time, she didn't know how to answer, she was so anxious that she didn't dare to withdraw her hand, but she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and she didn't even dare to raise her head when she felt Li Xi's hot gaze.

Then, at some point, she was so anxious that she cried unconsciously.

Li Xi saw her crying, first stunned, and then laughed - he had seen her posture as the proprietress in Wenjun's wine, and knew that she had been married, so he thought that she should be a person who had seen the world, but who knows, but she seemed to be a little girl.

When she cried like this, it seemed that Li Xi didn't look like a good person.

It seems to be the same as the old pervert in the novel who takes a fancy to the little maid and calls directly to the room to know the benefits - often makes the little maid unwilling but afraid to resist, and finally has to cry silently by what happened...... Li Xi smiled bitterly, took her hand and slowly leaned over, leaned into her ear, and whispered, "Jingnu, I'll stay in your room tonight, and I won't go back......"

Jingnu suddenly stopped crying, and her face suddenly turned red like an orange hanging on a branch in late autumn.
