In the past ten days, the weather in Shuzhou has been gloomy and gloomy, even the air seems to flow a thin layer of mist, only in the afternoon to dew a little sun, but it is the sky full of fire clouds, until March 26, the beginning of summer has passed, this gradually fell some raindrops, to the second day, it officially evolved into the first heavy rain of the 21st year of the new century.

Li Xi stood under the porch, looking at the beautiful woman who was walking in the rain and fog in the courtyard, and somehow thought of the poem he heard when he was practicing calligraphy in Zhou's mansion yesterday afternoon-

The grass is green, the willow is yellow, the peach blossoms are chaotic, and the plum flowers are fragrant.

The east wind is not worried about blowing, and spring can provoke hatred for a long time.

Speaking of which, his poems were borrowed and stolen, and his talent is real, and he really deserves to be a Jinshi, but this is so good, how can Lord Assassin Shi speak with sadness? And looking at the loneliness on his face when he chanted this poem, it didn't seem to be a fake, but now with the help of Old Man Liu Bo, he has officially gained a firm foothold in Shuzhou!

At the age of thirty-five, he lived in the official residence of the three grades, his wife was as beautiful as a flower, and although the children under his knees were rude, they were also cute, and his father-in-law Zhang Jiuling was also uphill in the court, according to the old man Liu Bo, he even had the possibility of worshipping the prime minister...... With such a good fortune, what else does he have to worry about?

Hey, by the way, thinking of this, Li Xi couldn't help but think of what he had seen when he practiced calligraphy and listened to classes in the past few days.

Although the Zhou Mansion is an official building, the pattern is not large, but after all, it is the closure residence of the Assassin History of a state, and it is not small to say, and the successive Assassin History are all learned and cultivated people...... The grade seems to be a little lower.

Not to mention anything else, as far as Li Xi could see, there was not even a maid in his house who could see it.

Thinking of this, I suddenly thought that the third uncle seemed to have mentioned it at the birthday banquet of the old man Liubo, saying that the Zhang family seemed to be a very jealous woman that week...... Li Xi suddenly felt that he seemed to have realized something, and at that moment he didn't care that Pei Yang's Yang Huahua had already walked to the front of the corridor, and was looking up with a smile, so he just turned around, turned his head directly and walked along the corridor to the small courtyard in the east, and actually left people in the rain in front of the corridor.

Seeing this, Yang Huahua couldn't help but be stunned in the local area, whether she was advancing or retreating.

Although she took a carriage all the way, after all, walking is indispensable from this house to that house, so although she kicked the rain sandals under her feet, she still unconsciously let the rain splash wet the Luo socks and embroidered shoes, and even the hem of the goose-yellow palace-like Luo skirt was splashed deep and shallow.

Ah Jin was also surprised when he saw this, and immediately wanted to shout out to stop Li Xi, but Pei Yang came back to his senses and waved his hand at her to stop her, and then, although they were a stone's throw away, the two of them did not step up the steps, but just stood quietly in the rain.

※※※

Since Li Yifeng officially put into service, Li Xi left a small cross-courtyard next to the front hall to him, in line with the principle of employing people without suspicion and suspicion, Li Xi completely delegated power to the old man Li Yifeng, and all the affairs in the house, from the small servants and errands, to the accounts and even the dealings of favors, etc., were all entrusted to him.

Li Yifeng also tried his best, although Li Xi invited him to live in this small courtyard to excuse him, he still took his daughter-in-law to live in a newly bought courtyard outside, but Bai Yue came over early to take care of affairs, inside and out, but after a few days, it was in order.

At this time, Li Xi passed, he was thinking about the valuation of the wineries and shops under Pei Yang's name sent by Li Qiu, and he was also preparing a palindrome in his hand, which was basically recognized by Li Qiu's valuation statistics, and when he heard the movement of the little maid under the porch, he looked up and saw Li Xi stepping in, he hurriedly stood up and waved his hand to order the little maid to serve tea, and at the same time picked up the two copywriters on the table and was about to tell Li Xi about this, but Li Xi waved his hand and said directly: "All gentlemen can make their own ideas, I don't know these details, With you and the third uncle here, you don't have to show it to me, just give me a final glance at the account book. ”

Then he sat down, carefully smoothed out his thoughts, and then said: "There is another thing to come over today, Mr. has served in various places, presumably friends are all over the world, I don't know if there are any acquaintances in Chang'an and Luzhou?" ”

According to Li Xi's knowledge, Zhou Qiong is a native of Jingzhao Wannian, Jingzhao, naturally Chang'an, Wannian is equivalent to a district of Chang'an, he has been extremely famous since he was a child, seventeen-year-old high school jinshi, and then was hand-picked into the Hanlin Academy as a repairer, two years later married Zhang Jiuling's youngest daughter, and has since settled in Chang'an.

In those years, although his official position was all the way up, but they were all noble and idle positions that did not have any real power, until five years ago, he was released to Luzhou Sima, two years ago he was transferred to Luzhou, and in the autumn and winter of last year, he was directly transferred to Shuzhou Assassin History, which can be regarded as completing a gorgeous turn and becoming a high-ranking official with great power.

However, if you count them carefully, the places where he lives and is an official add up are only two places, as long as you pay attention, some things must not be too difficult to check.

Li Yifeng still had those copywriters in his hands, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and replied hesitantly, "There are still a few good contracts in Chang'an, but Luzhou doesn't know anything anymore", then he lowered his head and frowned and thought for a moment, and then, the two sensitive words of Chang'an and Luzhou immediately made him think of what he should think of, and then he suddenly raised his head, with a touch of curiosity on his face, and asked tentatively: "Son, do you want to check him?" ”

This old man is really a good bosom friend who knows the meaning of the string song and knows the meaning of the string!

Li Xi praised it in his heart, but said quietly on his face: "I want to know about the customs and customs there, well, it is said that these two places are rich in enchanting women, hehe." ”

Li Yifeng rolled his eyes slightly when he heard this, nodded in understanding, and echoed: "Yes, speaking of which, this Chang'an's red-sleeved building trick is a must-see scene for foreign scholars when they rush to take the exam!" As for Luzhou, well, yes, there is a confidant! ”

If you want to say that there are more beauties in Chang'an, this is credible, after all, there are too many wealthy families in Chang'an, and they are like people, marrying wives and concubines are naturally picking up the most beautiful ones in the country, so they have been bred from generation to generation, and they are naturally beautiful and beautiful, which is Chang'an's Chu Pavilion Zhangtai, which is also the most beautiful and skilled beauties in the country, but Luzhou ...... The ghost knows if Luzhou is a beautiful woman, neither of them has ever been to Luzhou at all, and Li Xi doesn't even know where Luzhou is!

However, he is his boss, and now he is already Li Xi's teacher, a subordinate and a student, he has to check the past history of his boss and teacher, which is a big taboo, so Li Xi trusts Li Yifeng very much at the moment, but he still only vaguely mentions a rough idea, and refuses to put his words into practice.

Fortunately, Li Yifeng has been an official for many years, and he has always been in the lower echelons, so he has long been accustomed to observing words and feelings, and the most difficult thing is that his brain turned very fast, and he listened to Li Xi's cloudy words at the moment, but he quickly figured out what he meant.

At that moment, he pondered for a moment before he said: "It is said that although the lady of the family is very beautiful, she is also very jealous, well, this is a good mouth, the prince is really a good idea, a small master book, it is really a bit condescending." ”

Li Xi smiled silently, and after a while, Li Yifeng said cautiously: "This kind of thing is not easy to handle, an accidental news leaked out and reached his ears...... Well, since the prince wants to take this path, well, after a while, he will sort out these things at home, and the old man will personally go for you. ”

Li Xi hesitated when he heard this, knowing that he was reminding himself euphemistically, although he was already his student now, and the letter that sponsored him to be the chief secretary of Jinyuan County had also been sent, but before the last moment, there were still many changes, I was afraid that even Zhou Qiong himself would not dare to say that he would definitely be able to win this official, so it was better to wait and see, and wait until the edict appointing him came down before it was too late.

After thinking about it at the moment, Li Xi nodded lightly, and had to admit that he was really old and good, and when he encountered something, he was still too excited, not as calm as Old Man Li, so he said: "It's okay, this matter is really not easy to deal with, if you go in person, I can rest assured...... Then put it on for a while and wait and see. ”

After a pause, he said, "Don't ask anything else, just check the woman." ”

Li Yifeng nodded knowingly.

※※※

Today's rain is quite heavy, and when Rao is going out, Ah Jin prepared a large oilcloth umbrella, and at this time, Qing covered the two of them on the top of Pei Yang's head, but when Li Xi came back, the skirts of the two of them still splashed a large dark color.

Li Xi came out of the small courtyard, and when he walked under the porch, he saw the master and servant standing in the rain at first sight, and he couldn't help but be stunned there.

"Sin, sin, I just suddenly remembered that there was something to be told...... Come in, come in, that ...... Come on, make a brazier, and bake the young lady to drive away the cold. ”

Pei Yang's didn't look at him when he heard this, he just stood quietly in the rain and smiled, and Ah Jin was even more angry and turned his head away with a cold snort.

Li Xi patted his brows, knowing that this was a big offense.

In other words, the two of them have already walked to the other side, but they didn't even say hello, they just ignored others and turned around and left, which no one can stand it! Alas, in fact, at that time, I was just suddenly touched, afraid that I would not find inspiration if I was disturbed, but I actually forgot that this Pei Yang is not easy to deal with......

"This ......" He rubbed his hands and stood awkwardly under the porch, hesitated for a while, and saw that no eye-catching maid came over to hand him an umbrella or something, and finally had to rush into the rain curtain and make a respectful gesture, Pei Yang glanced at him and stepped up the steps.

It was only for such a short delay, but Li Xi was drenched in the pouring rain.

When changing clothes in the back house, Li Xi suddenly remembered that the lower half of Pei Yang's skirt was wet with rain, and the skirt soaked in rain was tightly attached to his legs when the wind blew, so that people seemed to be able to vaguely glimpse the pair of beautiful and straight calves,...... What's the pattern embroidered on those beautiful shoes?

It's a pity that this is the Tang Dynasty, and women's skirts are too long.

There are no stockings either.

Alas......

Wu Lan waited for him to change his clothes, but he still couldn't help laughing. Li Xi ran over soaking wet and startled her for a while, and when she asked the reason, she laughed at Li Xi's pity and cherishing the jade.

Li Xi sighed helplessly, so he had to cover his face and said, "These maids in our house are too blind, they don't know how to hand over the umbrella, and they must teach them the rules well when they go back, it's too embarrassing to be in front of the guests." But then again, this woman's temper is really not small, where is our Lan'er so well-behaved and sensible. ”

Wu Lan smiled and pushed him, "Don't compare the slave with her, that woman is too shrewd, the slave doesn't dare to compare." ”

Li Xi leaned in and kissed her with a hippie smile when she heard this, and the nephrite jade hugged her warmly in her arms and said: "What I said, I don't think my Lan'er is worse than her, her intelligence is all outside, just easy to break, where can she compare to our Lan'er, and quietly accept the heart of this son, this is called really shrewd!" ”

Wu Lan raised her eyes when she heard this, and she couldn't tell whether she was laughing or mocking, "Where did the slave come over, what did I write about last time I saw you...... Yes, love letter, didn't you say that your heart was given to that Miss Wan'er? ”

"Ahem...... cough ...... "Li Xi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, that time was purely a mistake, at that time I wanted to ask Liu Rong to bring a love letter for him, but I have been practicing calligraphy for a few days, I want to show off, who knew that there was a traditional version of a word that I couldn't write, and I didn't think so much at the time, so I asked Wu Lan casually, so this fell into the handle.

In the final analysis, it was too simple in my last life, I only talked about a girlfriend, I didn't exercise at all, and I didn't have the ability to exercise dual-purpose at all......

She didn't doubt that she couldn't even write a word for such a big talent, she just put her mind on jealousy, but fortunately, this little girl was born in a rich and noble family after all, and she has been a guest since she was a child, so she is very open to this kind of thing, and she has the bearing of a big woman, even if she is jealous, she is also cute, and it only makes Li Xi feel that she can't wait to hold it in the palm of her hand.

He changed his clothes and was about to go out, but he remembered that it seemed that Pei Yang's and that Ah Jin's clothes were also wet, so he turned his head and said to Wu Lan: "Then Pei Yang's young lady is about the same size as you, although Ah Jin girl is a little shorter, it's not much worse, you can pick two of your skirts and send them over." ”

After thinking about it, he added, "It's best to take two that have never been worn, and those two are exquisite people." ”

thought that as soon as these words came out, Wu Lan would have to laugh at herself for pity and pity the jade, Li Xi had even thought about replying, but who knew that the words fell, but Wu Lan lowered her head, looking at the twisted expression, it was actually a little cramped.

Li Xi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, then Wu Lan raised his head and smiled, his face was much calmer, "Two days ago, the mother-in-law in charge saw that I didn't have many clothes, and most of them were old clothes, so she reminded me to cut some cloth to make clothes, I refused, now we have just moved over, everything has to be picked up, your things have just started, there are many places to use money, you don't have to spend all the money on me, I still have a lot of clothes from previous years, just enough to wear......"

Before she could finish speaking, Li Xi stretched out his arm and pulled her into his arms.

Somehow, I felt my throat choked.

Speaking of which, although Wu Lan has a rough life, no matter where she goes, no one dares to treat her badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but when she arrives at her own home, she first accompanies herself to live in the grass house, and she has to squat in front of the chamber every day to help herself light the fire, and she is responsible for washing the dishes and chopsticks after meals, and often washes her clothes...... At the time, I thought it was good to have a little beauty who could be trained when I was so poor, but now that I think about it, I feel a little sad unconsciously.

Even if the family has put hundreds of thousands of shares in the new wine sent by each family, and it doesn't cost much money to buy some cloth and silk to make clothes, but she is still willing to be simple......

What a good daughter-in-law who can run a family!

Li Xi hugged her tightly in his arms, hugged her tightly, but shouted in his mouth, "Buy, the rain has stopped tomorrow, my son, I will accompany you to sweep all the colors and styles of the major silk and satin shops and jewelry shops in Shuzhou City!" If even his daughter-in-law is reluctant to wear a few new clothes, Lao Tzu will have a fart to earn money. ”

Wu Lan pushed his chest and raised her head when she heard this, seeing the seriousness in Li Xi's eyes, she only hesitated for a moment and nodded obediently, but said jokingly: "Since Xianggong has said a big thing, then the slave will wait for Xianggong." ”

※※※

When Li Xi returned to the front hall, Pei Yang was sitting on the Hu chair, and the brazier was placed not far in front of her.

Seeing Li Xi's expression, Pei Yang said lightly: "The concubine came over and just chatted, and there was nothing to do, so she sent Ah Jin home, there are still a lot of things at home, and they are all waiting for her to cook." ”

Li Xi nodded when he heard this, and then sat down opposite her.

This house was originally the kind of [seat] that could accommodate several people to sit opposite each other, and Li Xi's original main hall at home was also a seat, but Li Xi has never been very accustomed to asking two people to kneel opposite each other to "sit" when a guest comes, so as soon as he had the money to buy furniture, he immediately ordered someone to remove the seats in the front hall and replace them with the popular Hu chairs in the north.

Li Xi sat down and didn't have time to speak, but he couldn't help but look at the dark color of the corner of the skirt again, and couldn't help but have some embarrassed looks on his face, and said, "I'm really sorry to snub the distinguished guest." ”

Then he said politely: "Or, I will order someone to find a skirt for the young lady to change first?" ”

Pei Yangshi glanced at him with a light smile when he heard this, and said, "No need, thank you Mr. Ziyue for your kindness, but the concubine never wears other people's clothes." ”

After that, he said: "I originally thought that Mr. was a pity for the jade, but I don't want to say that it is very disappointing today!" ”

Li Xi originally thought that the matter would pass like this, but he never thought that the other party would not let go, so when he heard this, he had to rub his hands awkwardly, and raised his head to look at her, "This...... It's really the fault of the young lady, otherwise, how does the young lady want to be, let the young lady be punished, as long as it can make the young lady dissipate. ”

Pei Yangshi smiled when he heard this, and said, "If you say that you are not punished, the concubine will not dare." ”

But he couldn't help but glance at him and turned his head away.

It's just that at this glance, no one looks angry, but suddenly Li Xi's heart suddenly jumped a few times.

It's too soul-stinging.

Li Xi swallowed his saliva, immersed in this beautiful woman's flying eyes for a long time, and came back to his senses after a while, but he said in a ghostly manner: "Why don't you go back and I'll accompany you with a skirt, or...... There's a brazier here, I'll dry it for you first. ”

After finishing speaking, I was stunned, this skirt is still worn on my body, and there is no replacement, how to bake it? Even if it is replaced, people are not the ladies in your house, not your women, this woman's skirt is a profanity, how can you be a man outside and touch it casually? Not to mention what you bake and dry for others!

Pei Yangshi was also stunned when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at Li Xi, seeing that he was also stunned, he hesitated for a moment, but he was unusually vigilant and did not feel vigilant, let alone pull down his face to reprimand, but somehow he suddenly felt a little hot on his face.

The spring rain is idle, idle, and it is lonely around the bed.

I suddenly found that in addition to about 1,200 votes on Monday, there were only about 1,000 votes a day on Tuesday and Wednesday, which is not a good phenomenon, so I decided...... Firm Votes!
