Chapter 166: Rivals in Love Again
Xi Hongdou went home at night, Xiao Zhi also happened to be on duty, and in the past few days when he went to the ministry, Xiao Zhi seemed to be very relaxed.
"Isn't there any work in the ministry?" Xi Hongdou asked, at that time, he was in a hurry to recall Kyoto City, and now he looks at Xiao Zhi as if he is bored every day.
Xiao Zhi smiled: "There is work, but people don't give it to me." ”
Xi Hongdou suddenly, Xiao Zhi is like an airborne soldier now, the Ministry of Officials is a good department, many people have become old men in the Ministry of Officials to have a little real power, although Cao Guan is not a big official, but he also has real power, now although Xiao Zhi has merits, but the age is there, he is dangling in front of those old people at a young age, and he has no hatred or resentment, and he is envious, jealous and hateful.
"Insist on persistence, there are many people who are popular, they just think you are too strong and don't want you to fly!" Xi Hongdou comforted Xiao Zhi and made Xiao Zhi laugh.
Xiao Zhi is also self-aware, although it is not wrong that he is young, but the people of the Ministry of Officials must also be two-hearted, the existence of the Ministry of Officials itself is stared at by hundreds of officials, and he must integrate into it as soon as possible, and the doorways inside are not the ones that he knew before can be solved.
During dinner, Shao Yulin was difficult to come out once, which also surprised Xi Hongdou, after all, Shao Yulin has always lived in the backyard and usually doesn't have much contact with them.
"Yu Lin, why did you get out of the yard today?" Mrs. Xiao asked.
Shao Yulin said with a smile: "I have been in the house for a long time, and I haven't been able to have a light meal with everyone, which is really rude." ”
Xi Hongdou was a little speechless, what did he do when he knew that he was rude?
Mrs. Xiao didn't care too much, and seeing that Xiao Zhi hadn't come yet, she asked Xi Hongdou: "Hongdou, what about your father-in-law?" ”
"It's coming soon." As soon as Xi Hongdou's words fell, Xiao Zhi entered the front hall, dressed in an ochre-colored robe, handsome and straight, Shao Yulin looked back like this, and looked stupid.
Mrs. Xiao was puzzled, so she asked, "Why are you dressed like this at night?" ”
"Today's Shangyuan Festival, I want to take the red beans to visit the lights, and if I am busy in the future, I will not have time to accompany the red beans." Xiao Zhi said with a smile, and then looked at Xi Hongdou.
Xi Hongdou's face was embarrassed, he smiled, and then his eyes skimmed to Shao Yulin next to him, wondering in his heart that this Shao Yulin was not Xiao Zhi's cousin? As for looking at it so straight?!
Xiao Zhi only noticed Shao Yulin next to him at this time, and then said, "This is my cousin?" I haven't seen each other for years, and I've changed. ”
Shao Yulin hurriedly came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Isn't it, my cousin has also changed." She didn't lie about this, Xiao Zhi has indeed changed too much, it has been many years since I last saw her, and at that time they were all children, Xiao Zhi was naughty all day long, and she was a girl, Xiao Zhi was not happy to play with her, when she was a child, she was just a cousin who was not very likable, and now she looks at it, handsome and chic, majestic and upright!
Mrs. Xiao coughed lightly and said, "Sit down, the food will be cold in a while." ”
Xi Hongdou didn't sit down, Rue Xiang here prepared a food box, but Xi Hongdou hesitated.
Originally, she wanted to eat with Gao Yue, and at this time, she just carried the food box to the backyard, but Shao Yulin's obsessive look just now really made her feel unsteady, and she always felt that she was about to start doing things.
"I remember that my cousin liked this wine-stuffed balls the most when he was a child, and my cousin ate more." Shao Yulin said this, Xi Hongdou thought to herself.
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he smiled and said, "Cousin, I'm afraid I'm mistaken, I have hated the smell of wine since I was a child." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was awkward, but fortunately, Master Xiao also arrived in the front hall at this time, and the page was turned over like this.
Mrs. Xiao also saw Shao Yulin's appearance just now, but they are all cousins and sisters, and they haven't seen each other for so many years, so they don't feel anything.
"Red Bean, are you going to the backyard to have dinner with your fellow countryman?" Mrs. Xiao glanced at the food box and asked.
Xi Hongdou reacted: "Ah, yes, I'm leaving." ”
Xiao Zhi thought about it for a while, and said, "Then I'll accompany you, just let's eat quickly, and you can go out early after eating early, don't delay the fun and good-looking!" ”
Xi Hongdou saw that Xiao Zhi chose to follow him, and his mood suddenly improved, although he believed Xiao Zhi, but his husband was stared at like that, and only he knew the taste in his heart.
Shao Yulin saw that Xiao Zhi was gone, so she didn't say anything more and continued to eat, but her mind suddenly became complicated.
Here, Xi Hongdou and Xiao Zhi went to the backyard, and Xi Hongdou asked: "You don't usually come over, why are you ...... today?"
"Just now, your smile is worse than crying." Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "Since you don't want me to eat there, why don't you just say it, even if you ask me if I'd like to go to the backyard to eat with you." "He can see Xi Hongdou's city wall.
Xi Hongdou smiled bitterly, if she said this, it would be too obvious, it seems that she has a small belly and chicken intestines, and she doesn't believe that Xiao Zhi's single-mindedness is the same.
"Is it that obvious?" Xi Hongdou asked.
"Well, there are almost two big words 'jealousy' written on the door of my head!" Xiao Zhi quipped, but he also knew in his heart that Xi Hongdou was measured, and no matter how unhappy he was, he had to take care of his face.
When the two arrived in the backyard, Xi Hongdou accompanied Gao Yue to eat first, and then the three of them prepared to go out together, but Mrs. Xiao led Shao Yulin at the gate, saying that she also wanted to go out together.
"Why are you still with her?" Shao Yulin glanced at Gao Yue, at first she didn't know who this Gao Yue was, but now that she knows, she feels that the Xiao family is also nosy, and this cousin-in-law is even more nosy.
"It's a holiday, let her spend it with her father-in-law." Xi Hongdou explained.
Mrs. Xiao didn't say anything, let everyone get in the car first, there were people coming and going on the street, and there were many people who came out to make lanterns, and it was a little difficult for the carriage to travel, so Xi Hongdou suggested that she get off the car first, and send Gao Yue to Lu Zhina first, walking is much faster than making a carriage, and it will not delay Mrs. Xiao and Shao Yulin to go shopping.
"It's not troublesome, just go together." Shao Yulin said with a smile, very well-behaved.
Xi Hongdou said: "Let's go down first, the husband is still waiting." Then he smiled and got out of the car.
Xiao Zhi also got out of the car, and the three of them went to the grain store together.
Lu Zhi waited for a while, and when he saw Xiao Zhi coming with Gao Yue, he hurried to meet him.
"Wait." Xi Hongdou smiled, Gao Yue went to live with her for five days, and Lu Zhi was like losing his soul every day, and now he finally saw a little spirit.
Lu Zhi smiled, and then said, "You guys should also go shopping first." ”
Xi Hongdou and Xiao Zhi finally got the world of two, there was no destination, the two of them walked around the street hand in hand, and stopped to take a look when they saw anything interesting, Xiao Zhi saw that there were on-site lanterns made on the street, as long as he bought the blank lanterns in the store, he could paint the lanterns with paint ink for free, Xi Hongdou thought it was interesting, so he and Xiao Zhi also bought one, found a small table and sat down to play.
Xi Hongdou is not very good at drawing, the brush in his hand and his own ideas, two strokes, the lantern looks like it can't be wanted, Xiao Zhi took over with a smile, and then drew it with pen and ink, and after a while, a landscape map was drawn, Xi Hongdou looked at it, and gave a thumbs up, and boasted: "It's really worthy of being a master, it's amazing, this can be saved!" ”
Xiao Zhi smiled proudly, his two brushes were okay to fool Xi Hongdou, but it was really not enough to meet an expert.
The two were having a good time, Mrs. Xiao led Shao Yulin to this side at this time, Mrs. Xiao thought that the young couple was sweet, so she wanted to let the family continue to be sweet and sweet, but Shao Yulin said directly: "Cousin, cousin-in-law is also here, what a coincidence." After saying that, he sat down directly.
Xi Hongdou looked up and wondered if his cousin was really ...... Coincidentally!
Mrs. Xiao saw that she had made a sound, so she also bought a lantern for Shao Yulin to play with, and Mrs. Xiao went to the teahouse opposite to have a tea break.
Xi Hongdou thinks that Shao Yulin is the biggest light bulb, why do you have to get together?
The lantern is a skeleton made of bamboo, Xiao Zhi took a tassel and hung it on the lantern, looking at it looks a lot, Xi Hongdou couldn't put it down, looked left and right, and said: "Let's take this lantern out of the city and put it in the river in a while." ”
Xiao Zhi nodded, in order to make the people happy for the festival, the city gate will be closed at the end of the day, and the people can go outside the city to put lights, as long as they return to the city before closing the city gate.
Shao Yulin came late here, so she said, "Cousin, I can't get it here, you can help me get it." ”
Xiao Zhi was helpless, took it, tied the tassel and said, "Hurry up, or I'm afraid I won't be able to come back before closing the door." ”
Xi Hongdou got up, walked two steps, found that he forgot his handkerchief on the table, turned around to get it, and when he looked back, he saw Shao Yulin walking very close to Xiao Zhi, plus there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and the two people who were crowded always had physical contact. I'm not a cautious person, but I'm not a human being when I'm careful!
"Xiao Zhi!" Xi Hongdou shouted, and when Xiao Zhi turned around, she said, "I seem to have broken my foot!" ”
As soon as Xiao Zhi heard that it was a broken foot, he quickly walked back against the flow of people and said, "Which foot?" Does it hurt? ”
"It hurts, it hurts!" Xi Hongdou said directly.
Xiao Zhi saw that Xi Hongdou was in such a "serious" pain, so he quickly picked up Xi Hongdou on his back, walked to a place where there were not many people and put people down.
Shao Yulin hurriedly followed and said, "If it hurts, let someone send my cousin-in-law home first." "It's a good time, and this cousin has to get into some trouble.
Xiao Zhi shook his head, and then asked Xi Hongdou: "Which foot is twisted?" ”
"Left foot." Xi Hongdou said casually, and then saw Xiao Zhi gently take off the shoes and socks on her left foot, and then helped to straighten the bones.
Shao Yulin raised her eyebrows, her face was very exciting, Xiao Zhi is a big man, and he actually put down his body like this for Xi Hongdou? !
