At dusk, the clouds on the horizon are particularly beautiful.

In the evening, the wind was much cooler and not too hot, and the candles in the house were lit, and the warm halo gave the room some light.

Cheng Mo sat at the dining table, wrapped his apron, and carefully wrapped the dumplings in his hand, and after wrapping them, he carefully put them in the steamer on the side.

And next to the stove, the catkins who were getting better were giving He Xinyi a hand, the thoughts and words in his head were a little unable to keep up, and he didn't want to talk and seemed weak, so he just smiled and didn't speak, put the firewood in the stove, and looked at everyone in the room with bright eyes.

The moment Ah Zhi entered the house with the basket, he was a little surprised to see Cheng Mo making dumplings, and couldn't help but laugh twice, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he whispered softly: "Make dumplings!" ”

Cheng Mo turned around and saw Ah Zhi: "I'm back, make dumplings tonight." ”

"Well, I'll come in a moment," Ah Zhi put the basket aside, trotted to wash his hands, picked up the handkerchief to wash his face, wiped the sweat stains, and walked all afternoon, but he was really tired.

Ah Qi put the sleeping Yuanyuan into the cradle, covered her with a quilt, and then came over while rubbing her arms, and looked at the neatly wrapped dumplings in the steamer, white and chubby, her eyes were full of smiles, and she was envious.

"Brother-in-law, you actually know how to make dumplings?"

The words are full of mischievous mischief, like a child.

"What's so strange about this, just take a look," Cheng Mo smiled and put another wrapped dumpling into the steamer.

Ah Qi also took the dumpling skin and put it in the palm of his hand, put a piece of meat filling with chopsticks, rolled it up to combine it with the other side, but his hand was not flexible at all, just pressed on this side, and spread out over there, not at all like the flexible dumplings in Cheng Mo's hand.

Inevitably, he sighed, and put aside the dumpling skin and meat filling as if he was deflated, "I can't wrap it well." ”

Seeing Ah Zhi coming, he picked up the unwrapped dumplings and handed them to her, and said with a smile, "Sister, you come." ”

Ah Zhi tied his apron, took the dumplings that Ah Qi had not wrapped, held them in the palm of his hand, and wrapped them in a short time.

"Sister," Ah Qi was not only envious, but also envious, "You two are too powerful, teach me quickly." ”

"Okay, okay, Ah Qi, come quickly," He Xinyi beckoned to Ah Qi, with a look of kindness, "The dumplings are steamed, come and serve them on the table, and you can eat them in a while." ”

"Here," Ah Qi didn't go to see Cheng Mo and Ah Zhi making dumplings, and said in his heart, these two people have done everything well.

Ah Qi left, Cheng Mo lowered his voice and asked Ah Zhi: "What do you get when you go out?" ”

"No," Ah Zhi shook his head, wrapped the last dumpling, and looked unhappy, "The news is blocked too tightly, and the people on the street don't know anything, they only know that we are going to Danzhou Mansion, but we are on the outskirts of the capital!" ”

Ah Zhi was full of suspicions, and he really couldn't figure out what the current situation would be like this.

"It's okay, let's just live a good life here, and we don't have to run around and get tired," Cheng Mo persuaded her, picked up a rag and wiped the flour on the table.

"You say, in such a big place, so many people are building, how can no one know, and ah, the people on the street really don't know any news," Ah Zhi couldn't cry or laugh, went to the cupboard to get dishes, and prepared the dipping sauce.

"I'm afraid of losing my life, I'd rather not know anything," Cheng Mo smiled, "Okay, don't think too much, eat more, you see that you have lost weight in the past few days." ”

Ah Zhi smiled deeply, put the dishes away, and greeted people with a smile: "It's just so that I lost weight!" ”

Cheng Mo glanced at her up and down, her physique was petite and exquisite, her face was delicate, her jawbones were clear, she didn't have ninety pounds by sight, and said with a wry smile, "Ninety pounds are not there, it's time to gain weight." ”

Ah Zhi glanced at him, and Juanxiu's cheeks were full of joy, "No, I'm not tall, no matter how fat I am, I'll be ugly." ”

"Chubby is good, it looks festive, and there are ......", Cheng Mo leaned down and whispered in Ah Zhi's ear, "Chubby is good, don't be too thin." ”

Cheng Mo's face was full of smiles, as for what he was laughing at, he didn't say it explicitly, he just wanted to see Ah Zhi fat, too thin, and a gust of wind blowing could blow people away.

Ah Zhi ignored him, glanced at him, then turned around and walked away, and went to the stove to bring steamed dumplings to Ah Qi.

As soon as you open the steamer, the aroma of shallots and meat comes to your nose, making people salivate.

He Xinyi looked at the catkins that withdrew the firewood from the belly of the stove with gentle eyes, and said with a smile, "Catkins, don't be busy, go and call the two little ones to have dinner." ”

"Well, here we go," catkins put the iron lid on the firewood with the sparks in it, so that the sparks would not come out.

Ah Qi washed his hands and went to call two little ones.

Ji Chen's face has been smiling all day long, and it is much cuter than the wilting appearance before.

Ji Huan was very calm on his face, but the joy in his heart was undiminished, and he walked happier than before.

Both of them can memorize a three-character scripture of Cheng Mo upside down, draw inferences from one another, and write the brush characters smoothly, and the press is clear.

In terms of reading, in addition to being grateful, catkins are repaid by being a cow and a horse.

As soon as he got on the table, Ji Chen looked at Cheng Mo with his little head up, his eyelashes were smart, flickering, and his eyes were full of smiles, "Big brother, I can memorize the three-character scripture, and even I can write calligraphy, I have practiced many times today." ”

With a look of begging for praise, Cheng Mo laughed lightly, and gave him a dumpling, "Eat a dumpling, Ming'er continues." ”

"Okay," Ji Chen was full of joy, and even his appetite increased greatly.

Cheng Mo looked at Ji Huan, who was silent, with a smile on his face, "It's still your quietest." ”

Cheng Mo also gave him a dumpling and was relieved, "Pride makes people lag behind, copy this sentence a hundred times, and then think of the next sentence." ”

Ji Huan got up and bowed respectfully to Cheng Mo, with a lovely smile, and a glimmer of luster flashed in his eyes, "Yes, Ji Huan understands, thank you brother for teaching, Ji Huan will definitely live up to expectations." ”

Ji Huan is polite, and he also learned from Cheng Mo's every move.

Ji Huan tilted his little head and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit, "Big brother, I have already thought of the next sentence, can I tell you?" ”

Cheng Mo bowed slightly, his brows furrowed, but after a while, he smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, let Ji Chen also think about it, tomorrow, wait for me in the pavilion, I will test you." ”

Ji Huan had a smile on his face, and rubbed his little hands expectantly, "Okay, listen to my brother." ”

Ji Chen chewed the dumplings in his mouth, wanted to speak but couldn't, swallowed the dumplings in his stomach, and wanted to speak, their topic was over.

With an unhappy face, what is the next sentence, I can't think of it for a long time.

Liu Wu was grateful on the side, but he knew his temper, so he had to put this great kindness in his heart and couldn't forget it for a long time.

Ah Qi was envious on the side, and forgot to look at Cheng Mo with a smile, "Brother-in-law, I also want to learn words, every time I go out, I see a sticker on the list, I don't know a single big character, and I feel out of touch." ”

Cheng Mo glanced at her and thought about it thoughtfully, "This is okay, your sister can only draw pictures, and she can't recognize a lot of words, so let's do it, when these things are over, you can learn together." ”

Ah Zhi ate a dumpling, was named inexplicably, and secretly glared at Cheng Mo, but when he thought of the current situation, he nodded stubbornly, "Okay!" ”

Cheng Mo was spoiled with a serious face, because he didn't have much appetite, he couldn't eat it after only eating a few, and after drinking the original dumpling soup, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and sat aside and waited for Ah Zhi.

Ah Qi learned that he could also read and write, and his heart blossomed happily and he was full of joy.

However, He Xinyi's expression suddenly dimmed, eating dumplings tasted the same as chewing wax, and gradually he didn't even have an appetite.

After a while, I went to see Ah Zhi, and I couldn't help but feel distressed, and sighed again and again.

I went to see Ah Qi again, and I was even more distressed, I got along for a long time, and I knew that this child was innocent and kind, but his youth was wasted in vain, but it was a pity that it was pitiful!

After the meal, Cheng Mo was going back, and Ah Zhi came out to see him off, with a very complicated expression on his face.

"Worried about what?" Cheng Mo asked, carrying the most boring lantern.

"There's nothing to worry about," Ah Zhi shook his head, rubbed his arms, and walked side by side with Cheng Mo on the path in the dark night.

Ah Zhi looked at the dark night and sighed silently, "If he treats you like this, don't you want to resist?" ”

Cheng Mo stopped, looked back at her, his brows gradually stretched, and he smiled lightly, "It's useless to resist, not to mention that he grabbed my weakness and threatened again and again, he said, how can a person who occupies his son's body trust him to hand over this hard-fought country to him." ”

Ah Zhi was speechless for a moment, blinked, stared at him in disbelief, and in the dim red candlelight, he saw a face with the same face and still a shallow smile.

"You...... How did he find you? Ah Zhi was surprised, how did Emperor Yu Xuan know, it was incredible.

Cheng Mo looked a little embarrassed, he raised his hand and touched his nose, "He is also a person who has come back from the dead, he knows more things than me, and he also knows me and his country now." Half of them were called by me, and he was very scared, so he began to make up his mind among the people I knew best, the first one was the queen, then Cheng Jue, Cheng Lier, An Yan and his wife, and then you and Ah Qi, and my two sworn brothers. ”

"So shameful," Ah Zhi hated, and felt distressed again at the thought of him carrying so much, "You can bear it too much." ”

"Human life is at stake, the best choice," Cheng Mo opened his heart, and after dissecting his heart, the feeling that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart was gradually released, and it was also much easier.

"It's hard for you," Ah Zhi frowned and wrung his sleeves, "Are you going to be able to take half a step out of here for the rest of your life?" ”

"It's not that serious, if Emperor Yu Xuan figured it out and felt comfortable, he would let me go, and he wouldn't harm you again." Cheng Mo wanted to go out, but he was used to being at ease, and he didn't want to hear those deceitful and sweet words anymore.

Ah Zhi bowed his head and looked at him quietly, wishing that Emperor Yu Xuan would want to open it and not be deceived by the past.
