After Xie Yun and the others left, Xie Li's life suddenly became quiet and slowed down.

Xie Hui also started to get busy, and he was not at home all day; Mrs. Wang has never liked Xie Li dangling in front of her, and she has never let Xie Li go to Qinghui Pavilion, only after greeting Old Lady Lu in Furong Pavilion, they can have a relationship.

And Old Madam Lu didn't know what to say to Xie Li, so she could only hide quietly in the Furong Pavilion, listening to Xie Li's every move every day.

Xie Li watched the spring flowers lying next to the courtyard wall withering one by one, and the book "Floating Idle Pen" in her hand had already reached the end, she lazily put the scroll on the table, but she didn't think that the scroll rolled and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Xie Li sighed, Stunned and Bai Lu were outside, so she could only get up from the beauty chair by herself, squatted down, lowered her head, and picked up the book.

Lowering his eyes, the faint blue bracelet on his wrist fell into his eyes, Xie Li paused slightly, the corners of his lips unconsciously flashed a faint smile, and his already lush face was instantly dyed with rouge, making his eyebrows even more picturesque.

When Bai Lu came in, what she saw was such a scene, although the girl was born well, this is a well-known thing in Shengjing City, but seeing such a leisurely and beautiful picture, Bai Lu still couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

"Girl, Little Bean is here." Bai Lu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Why is the girl not wearing shoes?" ”

Xie Li lowered his head, his embroidered shoes fell crookedly under the beauty chair, and he stood on the ground with only a pair of plain white socks.

I don't know what to think of, the smile on Xie Li's face became a little thicker.

"It's okay, I'm not wearing socks, am I?" Having said that, Xie Li still put on the embroidered shoes by Bai Lu, and then said slowly, "Let that little guy go to the ear room." ”

After speaking, Xie Li slowly walked outside, waited for the stunned person outside to get the letter, took Xiaodouzi to do two steps in three steps, and waited in the ear room first.

Xiaodouzi is still a little uneasy.

His leg had been healed for a while, but Xie Li had not called him to do anything.

In the Yunxi Pavilion, except for Xie Li, it was the stunned and white dew. Xie Li's original grandmother and mother Yu were originally a person who could speak in this Yunxi Pavilion, but she returned to her hometown in Linfen a few years ago, and asked someone to bring a letter saying that it would take a while to come back.

Xie Li didn't care, she hadn't seen this grandmother, so naturally she couldn't talk about any closeness.

So, Xie Li didn't speak, and Jing Zhen and Bai Lu naturally didn't dare to make decisions on their own, so Xiaodouzi stayed in the back room for a long time, and waited until Xiaodouzi was uneasy, and then he came to the door by himself.

In the ear room, Xie Li took the tea served by the stunned sting, and turned his head to see that Xiaodouzi was already kneeling on the ground in a proper manner.

He called, "Girl." ”

After all, it was different, Xie Li felt a little sour in her heart, and slowly took a sip of tea, and she said casually: "Get up first, don't kneel down without moving." ”

"Yes, girl." Little Beanzi lowered her head and stood up.

"What do you want to do?"

Xie Li thought that in the past, Xiaodouzi was running in the Qingqing Pavilion, and everyone could ask him to run errands if they had something, the kitchen was full of swill, which girl's rouge was gone, or which guest wanted a snack in a restaurant...... Xiaodouzi is like a free labor, as long as the mother is willing to give a little bit of food, you can buy Xiaodouzi for half a lifetime.

"I ...... I will light the fire, choose the vegetables, watch the door, and do some sweeping things. Xiao Douzi thought that this Gaomen Mansion was naturally not like the Qingqing Pavilion, and he needed to run around by himself, so he picked up some daily things.

"But at the girl's command."

Xie Li lowered his eyes, staring at the swirling tea foam, a little stunned.

The ear room was silent for a moment, glanced at Xie Li suspiciously, and reminded in a low voice: "Girl." ”

Xie Li suddenly came back to his senses, "Oh, that's that you can do anything...... How old are you? ”

She was thinking, how old is Little Douzi this year?

Eight, nine?

"Back girl, I'm twelve years old this year."

What the?

Twelve?

How can it be twelve?

Xie Li's eyes widened in disbelief and muttered, "Twelve? ”

Xiaodouzi nodded, frowned and lowered, "Yes." ”

No, Xie Li remembered that in the winter of that year, the winter of the year she went to assassinate the old emperor, she also gave Xiaodouzi a birthday.

"Sister, after the New Year, I will be almost ten years old, and I will grow up soon, and I will be able to protect my sister at that time."

"Our little bean, no matter how big we are, are all my sister's younger brothers."

Yes, the little bean in her memory seems to be several years younger......

A childish voice sounded in his head, the child in front of him really didn't seem to be eight or nine years old, what was going on?

Xie Li's head hurt a little, her eyes were a little hollow, and some fragments flashed in her mind, teaching her that she couldn't grasp it.

"Hiss", out of his mind, Xie Li's fingers accidentally touched the tea, the tea was a little hot, Xie Li came back to his senses, only to find that the three people next to him were looking at him with a worried gaze.

"Girl, are you not feeling well?"

"Ah...... No......" Xie Li blinked, "I was thinking about what Xiaodouzi could do...... Lu? ”

"Girl, Xiaodouzi is still young, why don't you let him learn some kung fu from the guards in the house."

Bai Lu thought thoughtfully, at Xiaodouzi's age, if she was a little girl, she could have gathered in this Yunxi Pavilion to do some sprinkling and sweeping, but it was a pity that she was a young man.

It's not suitable in this Yunxi Pavilion......

"That'...... Little Bean, would you like to go? ”

"Yes." Xiaodouzi's tone was a little excited, and he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

Xie Li suddenly remembered that Xiaodouzi had said before that when he grew up, he would definitely protect his sister well.

The word protection naturally requires some martial arts.

Xie Li's nose suddenly soured, and he couldn't help but have a nasal voice: "Then you can go." ”

After thinking about it, Xie Li said to Bai Lu again: "Our Hou Mansion should have guards with good martial arts, right?" ”

"Some of them are veterans brought down from the battlefield by Hou Ye, so they are naturally good." Bai Lu understood what Xie Li meant, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, girl, the slave will definitely find a good master for Xiaodouzi." ”

"Okay." Let Bai Lu settle the little beans, but Xie Li was a little embarrassed to sit in the Yunxi Pavilion.

What is that faintly flashing fragment in my mind?

Why is Little Bean already twelve years old?

She was last year...... Assassinating the old emperor?

Twelfth year of Southern Chu......

That's right, in the twelfth year of Nanchu, she was fifteen years old, just at the age of Lu, is there something wrong?
