193, occasionally
It was night, there was a moon, and the moon was like water.
Xi Zixiao 'rubbed' his fingers to 'Hua' Jiu, there were too many incense products prepared today, and the tender skin on his fingertips gave the spices a small fold, he 'rubbed' his head sideways to look at 'Hua' Jiu for a long time, and saw that she yawned with sleepy eyes and not very ladylike.
"Sleep." The fingertips crossed from the tip of the 'lips' that were upturned and 'seductive', Xi Zixiao's eyes had a dark 'color', facing Xi Fengchang's reproach in the mourning hall, he didn't want to protect her, but Xi Fengchang was an elder and in front of so many people, if he said half a word, he would be able to spread a bad reputation for her in the future, and he would still have a hard time in front of the elders.
"You go down." 'Hua' Jiu's eyes couldn't be opened, she pushed him, there were too many things during the day, tired and panicked, but as soon as this person entered the room and said something to help her 'rub' her fingers, this 'rubbing' was 'rubbed' to the 'bed' without saying, and she just didn't leave.
Since that night, after having contact, a few days ago, Xi Zixiao was guarding the spirit in the mourning hall, and tonight it was the turn of the fourth room, and he tried every means to climb her 'bed' without face and skin as soon as he was free.
"It's a matter of course for husbands and wives to sleep together." Xi Zixiao let go of 'Hua' Jiu's hand, turned sideways, passed under her neck with his long arm, and grabbed her slender waist with the other hand, and hugged her into his arms, and at the end, rubbed the soft hair on the top of her head with his chin.
'Hua' Jiu stretched out her hand, and Ben 'wanted' to push him away, but as soon as the palm of the hand was next to the 'chest' in front of her, the body temperature of the iron was immediately transmitted, which made her comfortable almond eyes narrowed even more, like a cat who was no more satisfied than basking in the warm sun, which was really much more comfortable than the stove.
"If you don't have proper hands and feet, I'll kick you down." Muttered, the voice was already as low as a mosquito, the body was more frank than the heart, and the last note disappeared between the 'lips', and the already petite body had spontaneously shrunk into a ball and buried in the warm embrace, which could not be more comfortable.
There is a bright smile like a wash in the phoenix's eyes, the curvature of the thin 'lips' is so soft that it seems to be a falling feather, and the head is slightly lowered, and there is a 'kiss' imprinted on the top of the fragrant head.
His hands and feet are self-disciplined, but occasionally his mouth will be unruly.
Nothing was said all night.
Xi Siye's decision was very fast, only one night, early in the morning he found 'Hua' Jiu and Xi Zixiao, indicating that he wanted to negotiate with Xi Feng first, if the discussion was fruitless, he still did not want to return the silver, so he went to court.
'Hua' Jiu nodded secretly when she heard this, she now felt that even if Xi Huayue couldn't come back in the future, this mansion would be slowly moved to the hands of Xi Siye, which would be good, at least it would not defeat this business.
Thinking about it, he did it, and Xi Siye personally wrote it, and wrote a letter to Xi Feng.
As a result, in less than half a day's effort, Xi Lian came to the 'door' on Xi Feng's side, and this time, he was the only one who came.
He knew who could call the shots in the house now, so as soon as he entered the 'door', he said that he wanted to find 'Hua' Jiu or Xi Zixiao, and he didn't even mention the matter of giving incense to the old lady Xi.
As soon as Xi Lian saw 'Hua' Jiu and Xi Zixiao enter the 'door', she immediately got up to greet her with a smile on her face, as if she was the master of this mansion than anyone else.
'Hua' Jiu had a meaningful smile on his face, Xi Lian is also an interesting person, now with such an attitude, she should be able to be the master of Xi Feng with full power, she is sure that it is Xi Luan who swept away the silver in the house, most of which is also this person's idea, plus Xi Feng was taken away from the position of the head of the family, Xi Lian's mind was really realized, and even 'Hua' Jiu couldn't help but think that the timing of Xi Luan's return was really good, so people have to wonder if there is another purpose behind this.
"I don't know if what the fourth uncle said in the letter is the meaning of the seventh brother and younger siblings or the meaning of the entire mansion?" As soon as he came up, Xi Lian opened the 'door' to see the mountain, but in this regard, he was very different from the style of Old Lady Xi.
'Hua' Jiu stood behind Xi Zixiao, she lowered her eyes and didn't speak, only holding a hot teapot, occasionally pouring tea for the three people present, and acting like a 'woman' in the house who followed the rules.
"The meaning of the rest of the house." Xi Zixiao's words gambled on Xi Lian's chance of finding a stubble.
Xi Lian was not annoyed, he smiled, his complexion was dark, and this smile brought out a little bit of 'shrewdness', "This thing is indeed not right for Xi Luan, I have also persuaded my father before, but my father is dissatisfied with my grandfather, so I haven't figured it out for a while, I mean, this silver should be taken out, the so-called gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way, I have walked all over the world over the years, and I still understand this truth." ”
When Xi Siye heard Xi Lian say this, his face was happy, he immediately wanted to say something, and when he saw Xi Zixiao on the side, he was still expressionless, not moved by Xi Lian's words at all, his heart suddenly sudden, he stabilized his mind, and he didn't speak, just drank tea.
He has always had no other strengths, but he is still a little self-aware, knowing that in terms of talking to people, whether it is Xi Zixiao or 'Hua' Jiu, he is much taller than him.
Xi Lian's gaze swept over Xi Siye's face, and seeing that what he wanted to say could be stabilized after looking at Xi Zixiao, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, but he quickly raised a smile, "Speaking of which, I think of the day when the seventh brother and his younger siblings got married, and I, the elder brother, were not in Zhaozhou, and I couldn't catch up with a cup of happy wine to drink. ”
As he spoke, Xi Lian glanced at the little guy who was waiting at the 'door', and the little guy came with him, and when he saw Xi Lian's signal, he walked in with a wooden box.
'Hua' Jiu's eyes didn't lift, Xi Zixiao was even more expressionless, Xi Siye also learned well, just drink tea, these few words, 'Hua' Jiu has already renewed three teas for him.
The atmosphere instantly stiffened, Xi Lian laughed a few times, put the wooden box in front of Xi Zixiao, and couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, "This thing, I sure the seventh brother likes it." ”
He opened it as he spoke, and a glimmer of light flowed out of the box, and the eyes of the 'flower' nine finally 'waved', and the wooden box was a 'crossed' neck crane with a pinched gold wire enamel color, and the 'color' was 'gorgeous', faintly gilded and brilliant on it, and even the crane's half-open and half-closed eyes were dotted with golden light.
It's a rarity.
"That's right," Xi Zixiao spat out the second sentence of entering the room, and then he glanced at 'Hua' Jiu, and then instructed lightly, "Madam, put it away." ”
"Yes, husband." 'Hua' Jiu' 'Lips' took the wooden box from Xi Lian's hand with a smile, and as soon as he started it, he felt quite heavy, "Thank you brother for your kindness." ”
Xi Lian waved her hand again and again, "It should be, it should be ......"
"Tomorrow, it will be exchanged for silver, which will be enough to eat for a few days." What do you think, before Xi Lian's polite words were finished, Xi Zixiao said the third sentence with a lot of regret.
Xi Lian, who was choked by these words, held it in her throat and couldn't go up or down, and her dark face was also 'forced' to be darker and redder, and there was finally a 'color' of anger between her eyebrows.
'Hua' Jiu secretly disdainful, this is only the third sentence, and he has already been 'excited' to be unable to hold his breath, and 'revealed' his thoughts, and this Xilian is like this.
"A mouthful of words, eighty percent of silver, spit it out, and the government will not pursue it." Immediately afterwards, Xi Zixiao said that he wanted silver, and he didn't give Xi Lian time to breathe.
Xi Lian sneered, "I'm really embarrassed, seventh brother, if it was a few days earlier, not to mention eighty percent of the silver, it would be ten percent, and that would be able to be returned in full, and now the silver is less than four thousand taels left, even if I want to return it, I can't take it out." ”
"Impossible, it's only been a long time, how can so much silver be said to be gone if it is gone?" The fourth master immediately took the case, and when he heard that the silver was gone, his heart became anxious.
'Hua' Jiu refilled the tea for the fourth master, and vaguely pulled the corner of his sleeve.
After this reminder, Xi Siye reacted, he sat down slowly, looked at Xi Zixiao, and saw that he didn't even breathe 'messy' at all, and admired it in his heart, and felt that if the master could get rid of his identity and prejudice in the early years, he would not be like now.
"A few days ago, my father met a charlatan pretending to be a monk, the man said that my grandfather would have a catastrophe, at that time my grandfather was still there, my father was concerned, so he was defrauded by the liar of thousands of taels of silver, until my grandfather passed away, my father woke up, but to find the monk, the building was empty, so far, so much silver almost overnight as much as half." Xi Lian said that her face was not red and she was not panting, and she was embarrassed to come up with such a crude excuse.
I'm afraid the most important thing is that he wants to show a scoundrel attitude that he doesn't want silver, but he wants people, and even if he goes to court, he bites so hard and doesn't let go, as long as he can't find extra silver, then no one can prove that what he said is true or false.
But what kind of person is Xi Zixiao, how could he give up easily because of such words, so he only listened to him, "On the second day after the first seven days of my grandfather, if you don't have eighty percent of the silver, Xi Lian, your tea house, will close down to pay off your debts." ”
Xi Zixiao's words were very cold, obviously he was still expressionless, but it just made people feel palpitations, and he didn't doubt that he could do it naturally since he said it.
Xi Lian stood up suddenly, he stared at Xi Zixiao for a long time, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face, "The seventh brother is really joking, since the seventh brother wants it, I, the elder brother, will go back and smash the pot and sell the iron to raise all for you, but, seventh brother, you also know that my father said before that he was self-reliant." These days, especially after my grandfather went, he often whispered in my ear, wanting to come back, I don't know, four uncles, you see if I can let my father still come back to the Xi family, he is also old, people are old and naturally miss the old, and they miss brotherhood. ”
When Xi Siye heard this, he really 'revealed' a hesitant 'color' on his face, emotionally speaking, Xi Feng was born and raised by his eldest brother and a mother, this kind of friendship is thick into the blood and water, and it can't be faked, but intellectually speaking, he also has doubts about Xi Feng's purpose of returning home again.
"The money has been returned, so it's naturally easy to say." Xi Zixiao naturally took in the expression of Xi Siye, and his narrow phoenix eyes were picky, so he immediately blocked a sentence.
The smile on Xi Lian's face deepened, and at this point, he didn't say anything more, and immediately left.
After a long time, when only Xi Zixiao's 'Hua' Jiu and Xi Si Ye were left in the room, 'Hua' Jiu took a clean tea cup and finally poured a cup of tea for himself, and gently sipped his eloquence and said, "If the fourth uncle agrees to the uncle coming back, my husband and I have no opinion, but the nephew wants to tell the fourth uncle, you have to think about it, who can guarantee that the matter of Xi Luan's rolling up of silver will not happen a second time?" ”
After saying this, thinking that Shangli sent a list of incense products over today, 'Hua' Jiu didn't want to say more, just say that to some people, you can reach tens of millions of sentences if you figure it out, if you don't make it, it's useless to run out of saliva.
Of course, Xi Zixiao followed the 'flower' Jiu, he didn't talk much, that is, the 'flower' Jiu would also remind the fourth master of Xi, and if he changed him, he always didn't care about this kind of thing.
The two of them went out of the hospital 'door', there have been a lot of things in the house recently, and there are few natural people in the backyard, so they stayed in a secluded and uninhabited place, Xi Zixiao's hand hidden in his sleeve stretched out, and after holding the hand of 'Hua' Jiu accurately, he looked at her, his face was heavy, and he said with hidden worry, "There is news from the capital." ”
'Hua' Jiu's heart was shocked, she opened her almond eyes wide, and then listened to Xi Zixiao say, "'Hua' will not be able to go to Zhaozhou."
