Liu Xi didn't expect Huo Yanshen to be so upright, she looked stunned, and suddenly lowered her head and became a little shy: "That's exactly what it means, I don't know if Brother Huo has such a good heart." ”

Huo Yanshen's eyes were deep, he looked carefully at the woman in front of him, Liu Xi should have changed into a dress when he went back to the room, only to see a bun on the top of her head, with a pearl hairpin made of white magnolia jade inserted on it, a few strands of green silk hung on Liu Xi's full and smooth forehead, her eyelids drooped, her cheeks were crimson, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her goose-yellow clothes made Liu Xi's skin more and more white and translucent.

Huo Yanshen moved his gaze to the side, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "It's a good thing that Miss Liu Xi is studious, but it's a pity, I'm not a good writer, if I don't do my best to teach Miss Liu Xi to write, I'm afraid I will mislead people." ”

"How can this be?" Liu Xi hurriedly raised his head and replied: "Although I can't write, but on the street, I have seen the words written by those scholars who sell paintings and words, and I have more or less memorized some of them in my heart. ”

Most of the scholars who sold paintings and calligraphy that Liu Xi saw on the street were imperial examination people who came out of poor families, because they had no money at home, and they had a long way to go to the capital and needed to be entangled, so they simply sold calligraphy and paintings to earn some money to go to Beijing to take the exam, so those personal calligraphy and paintings have always been excellent.

Huo Yanshen seemed to be very happy when he heard Liu Xi's fierce praise, and his face softened slightly: "Miss Liu Xi is really ridiculous. ”

Liu Xi saw that Huo Yanshen seemed to eat her own set, and she was even more confident in her heart, she slowly stepped forward, picked up the ink strip on the table casually, and slowly grinded it in the inkstone on the side: "God, I can swear to Brother Huo today!" If what I just said is a sentence against my heart, then let God order Lei Gong to send a thunderbolt and kill me! ”

Huo Yanshen looked at the ink strip in Liu Xi's hand, thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to have an enlightenment, raised his head and looked at Liu Xi and smiled: "Since Miss Liu Xi loves to learn so much, then why should I not help?" ”

"Great! Thank you, Brother Huo! Liu Xi clapped her hands happily, and then gathered around Huo Yanshen, like a child eager for knowledge, chattering and asking non-stop, no matter what funny questions she asked, Huo Yanshen always had a smiling look, and patiently answered Liu Xi.

Yang Chunyan, who was busy alone in the stove room, felt that she was very tired this time, but in the Huo family, in addition to being able to come in and cook by herself, even Yang Chunyan couldn't think of a second person.

Huo Yanshen doesn't need to mention it, if he is allowed to enter the stove room, he will have to burn the stove room with a fire, let alone Liu Xi, Huo Xiting is young, and Huo's mother is too old.

Yang Chunyan leaned aside and snapped her fingers for the time being, the more she thought about it, the more desperate she became, when she lived alone before, she even ordered takeout to eat a fruit, but now it's good, she has to cook every three meals a day, this kind of day, Yang Chunyan doesn't know when it will be.

"Alas...... It's all fate. Yang Chunyan, who was leaning against the wall alone, sighed and said to herself.

Suddenly, Yang Chunyan seemed to hear a delicate laughter from nowhere, she was stunned, immediately got up and walked to the door of the stove room, and listened carefully with her ears, not Yang Chunyan's gossip, but she vaguely felt that this laughter seemed to come from her house.

The laughter came out again, and Yang Chunyan suddenly got goosebumps all over her body, and she grabbed her arm as she walked towards her room.

When she walked to the door, Yang Chunyan heard Liu Xi's voice: "Brother Huo, you are so powerful, although I use some words every day, I never know what they look like, and today I completely understand them." ”

"That's Miss Liuxi, you are smart, you can understand it at a point."

Yang Chunyan frowned, she stood at the door and quietly glanced inside, and found that Liu Xi and Huo Yanshen were standing in front of the desk together, Huo Yanshen was still holding a book in his hand, and Liu Xi was holding a pen with a spring breeze on the side, not knowing what was written on the paper with his head down.

Yang Chunyan chuckled in her heart, and suddenly a wave of anger rose in her heart, she was tired and tired in the stove room alone, and she couldn't stop and rest if she wanted to, but what about the two of them? Isn't it so happy to chant poetry here leisurely?

Yang Chunyan wanted to rush in and interrupt the scene, but the next second Yang Chunyan stopped, she looked down at the royal blue robe on her body, obviously she was younger than Liu Xi, but just because she was married, she had to be watched by her mother-in-law and put on this kind of old robe.

Yang Chunyan sighed silently, especially now, she was still wearing an apron and her hair was a little messy, Yang Chunyan suddenly felt a sadness in her heart, this look rushed in, it was indeed a little abrupt.

As soon as she thought of this, Yang Chunyan's nose was sour, and she turned around and walked silently towards the kitchen.

Liu Xi's coquettish sound and laughter kept coming from the room, Yang Chunyan's ears hurt, she walked to the door, suddenly stopped, raised her head, and suddenly felt a little unconvinced on her small and delicate face.

No, this is my own home, no matter how good it is, I still have a little bit of say in this family! It is said that women look at women most accurately, Yang Chunyan is different, and Liu Xi is beating Huo Yanshen's idea.

Yang Chunyan was like a mirror in her heart, she knew that in this society, even if the grain harvest in the field was better this year, he would take the extra grain he recovered to exchange for a few little wives and keep it at home, not to mention Huo Yanshen.

Yang Chunyan didn't know if Huo Yanshen meant this, but she was almost sure that Liu Xi must have moved this idea!

However, even if the husband of his family wants to take a concubine, it must be agreed by his wife, and even if he marries the concubine back, the concubine has no status.

The more Yang Chunyan thought about it, the more angry she became, about whether Huo Yanshen had any special thoughts about Liu Xi, Yang Chunyan decided to talk about it later, what she wanted to do now was to pull Liu Xi out.

Thinking of this, Yang Chunyan hurriedly looked around, and suddenly shouted loudly in the direction of her house:

"Miss Liu Xi! Miss Liuxi! ”

Liu Xi, who was talking happily with Huo Yanshen in the room, heard Yang Chunyan's cry, and there was a burst of abuse in his heart, but there was no wave on the surface, pretending not to hear anything.

Yang Chunyan saw that Liu Xi didn't care about herself, and continued to shout outside with perseverance.

"Miss Liuxi, my lady calls you." Huo Yanshen on the side really couldn't help it, and reminded him.

"Huh?" Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, raised a confused face, and asked.

"My lady has been calling outside for a while, there should be an emergency, you can go and take a look." Huo Yan said lightly, then took the book and sat aside.

Liu Xi nodded, cursing secretly in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "Oh, my sister is so engrossed in my sister's handwriting, I don't even know that my sister is calling me, it's really rude." ”

Liu Xi said as he walked towards Yang Chunyan.

Yang Chunyan sneered in her heart, her eyes were full of ridicule: "I disturbed Miss Liu Xi's reading and writing, that's not mine, it's just that the matter is urgent, please forgive Miss Liu Xi." ”

Liu Xi had already walked in front of Yang Chunyan at this time, and said, "Sister, where is this?" I don't know what my sister is doing, even if she comes to tell me, I should finish it early, Brother Huo is still waiting for me to go back to learn words in the study. ”

Yang Chunyan bit a silver tooth and swallowed it back into her stomach, so angry, but she still had a smile on her face: "Sister, I need dried plum vegetables for cooking, there are a bunch of dried vegetables I dried a month ago, I don't know if my sister can help me clean it up?" ”

Following Yang Chunyan's words, Liu Xi's face suddenly became ugly, the dried vegetables over there were piled up there like a hill, Liu Xi's eyes widened, if this is cleaned up, I am afraid it will be a waste of this effort.

"What? Miss Liu Xi is unwilling? Yang Chunyan looked at Liu Xi's face, which was more disgusting than swallowing a fly, and felt happy in her heart.

"That's no...... Sister, when do I need to wash these dried vegetables? ”

"Hmm......" Yang Chunyan glanced back at the stove room, and suddenly spoke: "About half an hour." ”

"Half ...... Good. Liu Xi almost didn't bite her tongue, she took a few deep breaths, and then spoke: "Okay sister, you must not delay your sister when the time comes." ”

Yang Chunyan knew that Liu Xi must be uncomfortable at this time, but what she wanted was Liu Xi's discomfort, so she nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked into the stove room.

Originally, Liu Xi said that he would help more at home and work more, but who knew that Yang Chunyan had actually arranged such heavy work for himself, Liu Xi was angry in his heart, and looked in the direction of the study with great sadness, sighed, sat down, and quietly cleaned up the pile of dried plum vegetables.

Later, Huo's mother came out and walked around, and saw Liu Xi sitting alone in front of the plum vegetables, her back was extremely shabby and lonely, although she felt a little unbearable, but when she thought of how attentive Liu Xi was some time ago, and how bold she told Yang Chunyan to let herself do whatever she did at home, Huo's mother couldn't say anything.
