Chapter 16 Understanding

Wang Xi didn't ask why the people in the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion didn't dare to raise cats.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

As long as the people of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion have no ill will towards the cat she raises.

She threw chess and admitted defeat, and wanted to play another game with Chang Ke.

Chang Ke looked at the delicate bay leaves sprinkled in front of Wang Xi, his fingertips itched, and hesitated: "Why don't we take a break and play with the bay leaves for a while?" You can also take a break, this game of chess is the same as practicing calligraphy, not the longer it takes, the better you can do, you have to combine work and rest. ”

Wang Xi's expression was blank.

Chang Ke dislikes her for not having the talent to play chess!

Wang Xi grabbed the apple in the fruit bowl next to him, and took a bite of it fiercely, which relieved his anger.

Chang Ke pursed his lips and smiled at Wang Xi, squatted on the ground to tease Xiangye, and asked Wang Xi: "Why is Xiangye called Xiangye?" ”

Wang Xi looked at Xiangye, who was desperately trying to please Chang Ke for a small dried fish, as if he hadn't eaten a small dried fish for eight hundred years, felt that his eyes were spicy, and he took Xiangye's neck and put it on the stone bench, and said, "Because it's called star anise." ”

Chang Ke was stunned, and suddenly said, "Then did its brothers and sisters also take the name of the spice?" Is star anise also your cat? Why didn't you bring it with you when you came to the capital? ”

Wang Xi scratched Xiangye's chin and said, "The star anise is my grandmother's cat, most of Xiangye's brothers and sisters were asked to go by my aunts, only Xiangye stayed in our house, and my mother gave it this name......"

As she was talking, Hongsu trotted in with excitement on her face, and shouted Wang Xi's "Miss" from a distance.

Wang Xi and Chang Ke turned back.

Red Silk ran over, panting and said to Wang Xi: "Miss, that, the person who danced the sword has appeared again." In the bamboo forest. ”

"Really?!" Wang Xi stood up in surprise and ordered Hongxi, "Let's go and have a look." After speaking, he found that Chang Ke was still standing next to him, and hesitated, "Do you want to go with me to have a look?" Then remembering that Chang Ke knew the Chen brothers in the Zhenguo Mansion next door, the question immediately turned into an affirmative sentence, and said, "You help me go and see if that person is someone you know." ”

Chang Ke had already stood up expectantly when Hongxi was talking to Wang Xi, and wondered if Wang Xi didn't invite her, what way could she take a look at her. At this time, when she heard Wang Xi invite her, where is there any reason not to agree? She hurriedly said, "Okay! All right! I'll take a look at you. ”

Let's see if that person is indeed as handsome as Wang Xi said.

The two went to the Willow Garden together.

Liuyin Garden is building a lot of construction, the garden gate is closed, not to mention, there is also a warning curtain next to it, I am afraid that there are relatives who do not know that they have broken into it by mistake.

As I got closer, I could hear the noise of the men in the tent.

Chang Ke was scared.

Since Wang Xi's mother was lost, the Chang family has been extremely strict with their daughters, and they are not allowed to contact strangers in their spare time.

Wang Xi asked people to call Wang Xi.

Wang Xi arranged for them to go to the northeast corner of the Willow Shade Garden.

On the way, Wang Xi asked Wang Xi how the yard was repaired?

Wang Xi said with a smile: "Several stewards are proficient in general affairs, and the craftsmen invited are also people with some prestige in this industry, and the house is repaired quickly, but the salary is not low, I am afraid that the previous budget is not enough." ”

In other words, these craftsmen are very happy to do things, and they want money and are very happy.

Wang Xi said with a smile: "Only the wrong one is bought, there is no wrong one, as long as the job is done well, the budget will be a little more than a little over." Everyone comes out to do things for money. In the future, if we still have work to do, these people will definitely rush over immediately when they know about it, even if they have a good fate! ”

Isn't that how you use it to buy bones!

Wang Xi knew that Wang Xi still had two salt wells under his name, which was not short of this bit of silver, so he smiled and promised, and personally moved two ladders, so he took the little maid to guard the intersection far away.

Chang Ke was speechless.

Wang Xi is really rich!

Seven or eight thousand taels of silver, if you say you take it out, you will take it out, and it will not be a matter if you exceed it. No wonder her grandmother and aunt were kind to her.

It would be nice if she could live like Wang Xi one day.

Chang Ke shook his head in his heart and climbed the ladder with Wang Xi.

It is said that it is next door, and the yard is next to the yard, but there are many trees planted in the yards of the two houses, so that at a glance, you can also see a figure wearing a black samurai uniform.

Wang Xi first held the clairvoyant mirror and took a good look at it for a while.

Unlike the person who wore a white silk shirt and danced a sword that day, the black samurai uniform worn by the person today was embroidered with a lion rolling hydrangea flower pattern with red and green sapphire blue turmeric silk threads, and the white jade carving hand held a black bow with a blue bow, and the cyan bowstring was attached to his ruddy but angular lips, which had a kind of flexibility and resolute beauty.

In particular, he stood sideways, his posture was as tall as a green bamboo, his eyes were serious and sharp, and the whole person seemed to be an arrow that was about to leave the string, with a kind of indomitable and fearless power.

Wang Xi screamed in his heart.

Beauty is so beautiful no matter what she looks like!

It's really a character who can make her look good.

Wang Xi sighed again in his heart, and then handed the clairvoyant mirror to Chang Ke: "You take this, you can see this clearly." ”

Although Chang Ke was born in a wealthy family, he had never seen a clairvoyant mirror.

She received it in her hand, fiddling with the clairing mirror while asking, "What is this?" How to use it? ”

It's just that before Wang Xi could explain it to her, she had already found the correct usage in a random manner.

"Oh my God!" The sight was so clear that it seemed to be right in front of her, and she was so shocked that she almost fell off the ladder.

Fortunately, both the red silk and the green silk followed them, and they supported her in time when her body was shaking, so that she was just a false alarm, and soon regained her footing.

Wang Xi asked her, "Is it someone you know?" ”

Chang Ke didn't speak for a long time, and only after a while did he put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and asked her with a strange expression: "Do you really think he is very handsome?" The most beautiful man you've ever seen in your life? ”

"Of course!" Wang Xi felt that Chang Ke was questioning her aesthetic ability by asking this, and argued, "I have seen many beautiful men. Like Fan Xiaolou, the most famous singer in Shu, Shen Buqing of Furong Academy, and Guan Yu, the seventh young master of the Jincheng official family, there is no one like him, heroic, noble with fearlessness and calmness that can not be said to others, few men have such momentum as him, handsome and proud. ”

Chang Ke stuffed the clairvoyant mirror to Wang Xi, and sighed: "You're done!" You, like my third sister, think that Chen Luo should be the most beautiful man in the capital! ”

Wang Xi was stunned and said, "What did you say?" That person is Chen Luo! ”

"Yes!" Chang Ke glanced at her sympathetically and said, "I don't know why you all like Chen Luo, I think Chen Ying is much better than him." At least Chen Ying will greet us very gently when he sees us, Chen Luo looks at us as if we are all waste, and when he looks at us, he lifts us up. She was deeply distressed, "Why do you all like to be bullied?" Isn't it good to be respected? Is it bad to be treated kindly? Is it not good to be treated by people in the spring breeze and drizzle? Why use someone else as a stepping stone. ”

"Wait!" Wang Xi interrupted Chang Ke's complaint and said, "Who else are you talking about 'you' besides you and your third cousin Chang Yan?" “

"Shi Zhu and Chang Ning!" Chang Ke couldn't wait to hug his head, "When Shi Zhu came to our house to play when he was a child, he liked to run with his third cousin the most, because he could see Chen Luo. Because of this incident, my second aunt also joked that when Shi Zhu is older, she can marry my third cousin. It's a pity that the Shi family doesn't look down on my third cousin, otherwise Shi Zhu might really become my third cousin-in-law. You don't even know how bad Chen Luo is. He hated Shi Zhu following him, so he asked Shi Zhu to help him hold the quiver, and Shi Zhu stupidly held his quiver and waited for him in the martial arts practice field of our family courtyard after listening to him. With such a heavy snowfall, Shi Zhu waited for almost two hours, and his hands and feet were almost frozen, but he ran home early and lay comfortably on the kang to eat frozen pears.

If it weren't for Shi Zhu's nurse who looked wrong and knelt down and begged her, she would have continued to stay there.

Shi Zhu fell seriously ill because of this incident, which alarmed the elders in the family, and when the Shi family's uncle went to Datong, he would take her to his post.

"Now that she's coming back, I feel a little scared when I think about it.

"I didn't expect you to think he's handsome."

Chang Ke shook Wang Xi's shoulder, as if he could shake Wang Xi awake in this way: "Can you open your eyes and take a closer look, don't just be confused by his skin." The Bodhisattva said, pink skeletons, white bones, skin and flesh. Can't you see through his appearance what is really in him? ”

Wang Xi laughed and said, "Then you also admit that he is the best-looking!" Otherwise, you wouldn't have said that! ”

Chang Ke looked at Wang Xi like a fool.

Wang Xi sat on the ladder, grabbed Chang Ke's shoulder, and said earnestly: "There are very few people who cultivate both inside and outside, otherwise how can they be called sages?" The inner can be perfected through reading and practice, but the external is not human, and there is no one for hundreds of years, this is a rare thing, we like to see, we want to see, it is human nature, you don't need to worry so much, as if the sky is about to fall. ”

Chang Ke looked at Wang Xi with a faint gaze.

Wang Xi had no choice but to continue to persuade her: "I am not the only one who thinks Chen Luo is good-looking, right?" But Shi Zhu is the only one waiting there with a quiver, right? This shows that she is the only one who is stupid, and you can't overturn our boatload just because she is alone. ”

Chang Ke's eyes moved slightly.

Wang Xi said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there was Shi Zhu in this!" What a surprise! ”

Chang Ke said: "I didn't expect you to follow in Shi Zhu's footsteps, it's too surprising!" ”

Wang Xi glared at Chang Ke.

Why didn't you find Chang Ke so good at talking before?

She confirmed with Chang Ke: "You really didn't recognize the wrong person?" The person in the bamboo forest is Chen Luo? ”

Chang Ke snorted coldly: "I also recognize him when he turns into ashes - he treats me as a little maid, saying that it's the Dragon Boat Festival, and I'm still wearing a jacket." I will never forget the look he looked at me when he said this. ”

The lords of the capital follow the customs in the palace, and when it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival, no matter what the weather is in Beijing, they have to take off their jackets and change their summer clothes.

Before coming to the palace, the retired grandmother in the palace invited by the Wang family had repeatedly told Wang Xi not to forget, otherwise those powerful people in Beijing would think that she was uneducated and would treat her as a local bun and an upstart in the countryside.

Wang Xi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and his expression could not hide his disappointment.
