After a pause, Xi Zien straightened his face and said: "I'll tell her, men, it's normal to have three wives and four concubines, well, if it's monogamy, it's probably because the man is poor and can't afford to marry anything else.

And she said to me, isn't there anyone who doesn't think that way? I'll just say yes, isn't that you, right?

You also told me before that you don't want to be too perfunctory about your life's events, I see, if you can't find a daughter-in-law in the future, Li Jicai will be fine, although he doesn't look very good.

What do you think, her brother has entered the Hanlin Academy, and I specially inquired about her, when she was going to enter the Green Cloud Publishing House, she was embarrassed, but what kind of poems did people have, they came casually, indicating that there are goods in the stomach, not too vulgar, you see, right? ”

"Are you still staying here, just to mess around with the mandarin duck score? Why didn't Yue Lao invite you to be a boy? Qi Qingchu raised her head slightly and glanced at him in her busyness, and her coldness and warning were self-evident.

"Come on, I don't think the two of you have similar ideas, and it's not a day or two of my casual nonsense, don't be like me." Xi Zien didn't dare to be nonsense, smiled awkwardly on his face, and then quietly went out of the door.

He won't stay in the Qi Mansion to eat today, he has to hurry up to find Li Jicai, and then tell her the good news.

Xi Zien couldn't help but want to boast, I don't know why, he always felt that if he could achieve something in front of Li Jicai, it would be as if he was recognized, as if Li Jicai was the first person to come to him to ask him to do something, and no one else could trust him, let alone take the initiative to come over and ask him to help do something.

Coming out of Qi Qingchu's room, the cold wind immediately enveloped Xi Zien, and he quickly buried his face in the collar.

Cold and cold, the wind blew on the face like a knife, hot and painful.

Of all the seasons, he hates winter the most, and can freeze people to death.

Xi Zien would rather be killed by heat than frozen to death, the winter in Chu has always been cold, and winter is also the season when he asks for the most leave, if he can not go to court, he will not go to court, and the stove at home has been arranged.

Seeing that he was such a thin and weakened scholar, Xi Zien couldn't help but feel a little self-pity.

The courtyard is very clean, the white stone slabs do not see a little dead branches and leaves, and the evergreen pines and cypresses in the flower beds are still very energetic.

The rich dark green color makes people feel a little unhappy, especially with the gray sky overhead, which makes people feel a little dim.

The wind is howling, and it is estimated that it will rain soon, and the thick dark clouds have piled up together, and the hearts of the people are a little breathless.

Xi Zien saw that the sky was not good, and hurriedly went out of the Qi Mansion.

When he went out, he instructed the people of Qifu, prepared a carriage for him, and then got into the carriage and ran to Suiyuanju.

If he can have a good meal in Suiyuanju at noon today, then he will go back to his home after eating, and if he doesn't prepare anything to see Suiyuanju at noon today, then he will go back to eat.

Alas, Xi Zien, who was sitting in the carriage and had nothing to do, smashed his mouth, okay, when did the gluttonous worm in his stomach seem to be hooked out, some miss the stir-fry he ate in Suiyuanju last time, if this thing is done, he will be a guest of Suiyuanju in the future, and it will be free for life, no money is needed when to eat, you can order anything delicious, Meizizi, Meizizi!

With such an idea, after a while, the people of Qi Mansion sent Xi Zien to the door of Suiyuanju.

Because the subordinates of Qi Mansion had come to Suiyuanju when they picked up their masters, they were naturally familiar with the road and found a place without much effort.

By the time Xi Zien got out of the carriage, it had already begun to drizzle.

The raindrops fell on his head, Xi Zien wiped it, felt that it was cold, and hurriedly lifted the hem of his clothes, and then rushed to Suiyuanju.

The other party's door had been removed, the door was empty, it was dark inside, although it was noon, but the sky had completely darkened.

Why is it a little infiltrating to watch?

"Li Jicai! Lee Ji Cai! Xi Zien stood on the steps at the door of Suiyuanju, and before he stepped into the store, he shouted anxiously into the house.

Li Jicai was in the backyard at the time, and he didn't hear Xi Zien's shouting in front.

It happened that Li Jiye was packing up his things in the front hall, and when he heard someone shouting Li Jicai, he couldn't help but walk out of the door curiously to see who it was.

"You are?" Huh? Xi Zien? Isn't this the person Li Jicai said he was looking for last time? How did you get to the door today.

"What about Li Jicai? You moved? Xi Zien's body was shivering a little from the cold, and his thin appearance seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.

Li Jiye couldn't stand his shivering appearance of being so cold, obviously he was wearing thick clothes, was he so afraid of the cold?

"She's in the backyard, please come in first, and I'll call her." Li Jiye made a gesture of invitation and welcomed Xi Zien into the store.

The interior of the store is renovated and repaired, and tomorrow the door will be installed, tables and chairs and other things will be tidied up, and it will almost be able to reopen for business.

During this time, the store has been busy renovating, and Li Jiye comes back from the Hanlin Courtyard every day to help.

Needless to say, the hard work is naturally needless to say, but even harder is Li Jicai, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, she really spent too much effort for this store.

"Woohoo, woohoo!" A threatening bark rang out.

Xi Zien, who was shocked, was a little nervous, his face was a little pale, and when he came here last time, there were no dogs.

Li Jiye saw that Xi Zien's expression was a little stiff, and after thinking about it, he explained: "This is my dog, named Xiao Erhei, who was brought back not long ago, raised from childhood to adulthood, has been leashed and does not bite." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Jiye hurriedly walked to the backyard and called Li Jicai.

Although he said so, the store was dark and full of messy things, Xi Zien didn't see where the dog was leashed, maybe it was blocked by something, and he didn't dare to move forward, so he had to stand at the door, and then wandered around, waiting for Li Jicai to come over.

Hearing Li Jiye's call, Li Jicai walked out of the back kitchen and asked him what was the matter.

She was cleaning up in the kitchen, and it was so dark outside that she had just noticed that it was already noon.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry? Go cook right away, and it's good right away. Li Jicai is used to taking care of Li Jiye's daily life, and as soon as he calls her, she subconsciously reacts to whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"No, there's a person in the front hall, it's Xi Zien, he was calling you just now, go and have a look" Li Jiye shook his head, his fingers unconsciously wrapped around his sleeves, and he was a little unsure of his current thoughts.

"Oh, okay, I'll check it out right away." Li Jicai took off the apron around his waist, and then wiped his hand on the apron, there were many stains on the blue cloth apron, all of which were the dust that Li Jicai accidentally rubbed in front of the stove, and he hadn't taken care of it for a long time, and now he was really dirty when he cleaned it up all at once.

"Well, then I'll go to the front first." Li Jicai didn't know if Li Jiye was willing to receive Xi Zien with him, so he simply didn't force him, and now he heard him say that there were a lot of things in the Hanlin Courtyard, and he didn't dare to delay his time more, so he would cook him something after a while, and then let him go out.

Wearing a dusty dress, combing his hair up, tying it into a ball, and tying it on his head, Li Jicai walked to the front.

Because the sky outside was very dark, and the inside of the house was also dark, Li Jicai thought about whether to put a few candles in the store for lighting.

"Mr. Xi, why do you have time to come to the store today? We are closed for business today. Li Jicai approached Xi Zien politely, and then said politely.

At first, Xi Zien didn't recognize her at once, and Li Jicai's face was a little dirty.

"Why do you look like you're a thief, why did you go? Why isn't the store open? The government is still harassing you? I remember I had already said hello. ”

"Thanks to you, it's not true, it's just that the store is going to be renovated, so it's not open recently."

"Oh! Then you won't have anything to eat at noon today, right? Xi Zien was thinking about wanting to have a meal in Suiyuanju, but now he was about to fail, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and he couldn't help but be a little excited.

"It's already noon, and I haven't cooked some food for my brother yet, if Xi Gongzi doesn't mind, let's have a meal later, right?" Li Jicai looked at Xi Zien's appearance, and then looked at the sky outside, thinking that he must have made a special trip here, which was also embarrassing to disappoint the family, so he tentatively proposed.

"Huh? What to eat at noon? "No preparations, no stores, nothing to eat?

"It's so cold, let's eat something hot today, how about dumplings?" The dough was bought at the market in the morning, and it was originally planned to be made at noon.

"Dumplings? It's okay, I haven't eaten this in a long time. Xi Zien nodded and agreed, dumplings, he doesn't eat celery.

"No celery."

"Huh? Uh-huh, well, don't eat celery. Li Jicai chuckled when she heard this, how could she be like her, she didn't like to eat celery.

Li Jicai brought Li Jiye and asked him to light the candles in the house, the dark clouds outside were lowered, and there should be heavy rain in a while, Li Jicai was a little worried about what to do when Li Jiye went out in the afternoon?

So I went to the back kitchen and fried a few cakes, put them in a lunch box, and then in a hurry, I urged Li Jiye to go out.

There was no one else in the store, only Li Jicai's sister and brother and Xiao Erhei in the morning.

Xiao Erhei is very well-behaved, and was taken home by several people in the store in turn, seeing its simple and cute appearance and liking it from the bottom of my heart, Xiao Erhei has been with them for almost four years, from a big dog to a bigger dog.

Li Jicai washed the leeks, then put them on a cutting board, carefully chopped them, and prepared them.
