Chapter 12: A Man's Careful Thoughts

"Mu Gongzi, are you looking for Qingjin?" Xia Ruixi stood in the apricot blossom forest and looked at the man in a cyan robe, leaning on the apricot tree with his back to her, and his whole body looked like a person without bones.

Mu Fei turned around and was about to answer, but he was so dazzled by the bright color in front of him that he couldn't take his eyes off it. About a zhang away in the pink and white apricot blossom forest, there is a young woman wearing a pale green spring dress, combed delicate and generous hair in a bright and black bun, her face is like a spring flower and the moon, the corners of her lips have a gentle and decent smile, the wind in the forest passes, the apricot blossoms are like rain, and they are sprinkled on her sideburns, shoulders, and skirt corners, like a beautiful painting.

Xia Ruixi saw that Mu Fei didn't speak, and said: "I'm afraid he drank too much last night, and he hasn't woken up yet, please come in and have a cup of tea, and I'll call him to get up." As he spoke, he motioned to the group around him to lead Mu Fei, and he was going to call Ou Qingjin.

Mu Fei retracted his gaze a little at a loss, and said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, let him rest for a while, and let him wake up and look for me later." ”

Xia Ruixi felt that his attitude was a little strange, and he didn't have time to think deeply, so he smiled: "Okay, what do you want to eat at noon?" I told the kitchen to do it. ”

Mu Fei sighed lightly: "I'm not a picky eater, everything I eat is delicious." He remembered that when Xia Ruixi talked to him, he called him "you" instead of "you", when did he become so estranged? It seems that in the courtyard of the capital, her aunt came to say a few words to him euphemistically, and after he began to consciously avoid her, she has always been a sensitive person, and the second time we met, the title changed.

Xia Ruixi smiled so much that his eyes turned into a crooked moon, and he looked happy and sweet: "My family is the most picky eater, and the dishes don't look good when things taste good, if you do this, I will have nothing to do." ”

Mu Fei's heart suddenly became extremely uncomfortable, and he barely squeezed out a smile: "Actually, I want to suggest that your fish pond should bring another stream of ordinary water from the surface and mix it with the hot spring water in proportion, so that it may be more suitable for more varieties of fish." ”

Xia Ruixi's expression became serious: "You mean that there may be some species of fish that can't adapt to this environment?" So the drawings are going to be redesigned? "Hot spring water bathing is good precisely because it is particularly high in minerals.

The reason why she dared to make such an idea was because when she traveled to a hot spring tourist spot in her previous life, she saw local people using hot spring water to raise fish.

At that time, she also felt incredible, more curious than interested, but the locals used the hot spring water to raise more of a fish called bearded catfish, maybe other species of fish are not suitable for this kind of water. Mu Fei's proposal is very crucial.

Mu Fei nodded and hesitated: "You drew that drawing?" Where did you learn this? ”

Xia Ruixi was sullen for a moment, and smiled proudly: "Have you seen such a method from other places?" I read from the book that the production method of the southern mulberry fish pond is very good, so I was inspired, we have four seasons here, and we can only produce one season of silkworms, so naturally we can't be like that, so I changed it and became what it is now. I don't know if I can succeed, Qingjin and I don't have any bottom in our hearts. ”

Mu Fei said with certainty: "It will definitely succeed." Then he said tentatively: "Although the method is novel, it is not strange. What is rare is your drawing, how did you come up with the method of hot water on top and cold water on the bottom? ”

Xia Ruixi secretly laughed in his heart, he will definitely succeed? How could he be so sure he would succeed? Seeing that he was chasing after him, his pupils shrank, counterattacked and defended, and smiled harmlessly: "My drawings, scribbling indiscriminately, shoddy, or Qing Jin's ideas, and more modifications have become that appearance, how can it be compared to the valve classics designed by Mu Gongzi?" Even the masters of decades have seen it and said that it is unbelievable and unheard of. ”

Mu Fei's eyelids jumped, and he said softly, "I'm 。。。。。。 ”

Xia Ruixi took it and said, "Was it taught by your master?" I really want to meet you, the strange master, and if I do, I will have no regrets in this life. It's a pity that his old man travels all over the world and has no fixed residence, and he may not see him in this life. ”

Mu Fei was embarrassed by her guessing her words, and said to her: "There are still a few details to be modified, I will leave first." ”

Xia Ruixi smiled brightly, and was blessed: "Okay, I'm sorry for you." Qing Jin is together, and I will let him come to look for you. Tuan'er, send Mu Gongzi for me, I'll go and see if the young master is awake, I have to give him a sobering soup to drink, or I'll shout uncomfortable after a while. ”

Mu Fei looked at Xia Ruixi's distant back with a complicated expression, and then turned around and walked out, and his body, which originally looked like he had no spirit, looked even more relaxed. Some people, some things, missed are missed, and there is never a chance to turn back.

Ou Qingjin woke up a long time ago, but he didn't want to get up, just looked at the top of the tent in a daze. Hearing the door, he looked at the door, only to see Xia Ruixi holding a small black lacquer tortoiseshell tray in his hand, inside was a small azure porcelain bowl as thin as a cicada's wings, and he didn't know what was inside, it was probably full, she held her breath, stared at the bowl tightly, moved her steps carefully, and walked towards him.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was so difficult, and he didn't know how to decorate it less, or change to a bigger bowl. But I don't know that Xia Ruixi is a lazy person, she is greedy for this bowl to be good-looking, it is his favorite type, and she wants to please his eyes, but she thinks that this bowl is small and filled too little, and she is afraid that he will not work if she drinks less, but she refuses to run more, so she is naturally full.

Looking at Ou Qingjin's dark eyes, Xia Ruixi smiled sincerely: "Xiao Qingqing, are you awake?" Come and drink the decanting soup I made for you. ”

Ou Qingjin was illuminated by her bright smile, and smiled: "I'm not drunk." Don't call me Xiaoqingqing, others hear it, what is it。。。。。。 ”

"What kind of system?" Xia Ruixi took it naughtily, "You are not Xiao Qingqing, that is Da Qingqing, I am the little kiss, anyway, I have survived, whether I am drunk or not, give me a face, right?" ”

Ou Qingjin still can't get used to Xia Ruixi's affectionate title when he opens his mouth, in his impression, all husbands and wives are courteous, and the more intimate ones are just shouting names, for example, he calls Xia Ruixi "Xixi", which is already his most intimate way of shouting, otherwise it should be "Xianggong" and "Lady", and when he is older, he will call "Master" and "Mrs." At this time, seeing Xia Ruixi shouting and screaming wildly, he sighed, and he didn't take her seriously, and handed her his hand: "It's okay if you want me to drink, come and pull me up." ”

"Okay." Xia Ruixi put down the bowl with a smile and reached out to pull him.

Ou Qing was cautious: "Wash my face later." ”

"Okay."

"Feed me."

"Okay."

"I'm going to make fish for me, and I'm going to eat what you made with your own hands."

Seeing him coquettish to her like a child, it was obvious that he was in a good mood, not at all like the dullness of the previous days, Xia Ruixi couldn't help the joy in his heart, and responded in a row: "Good, good, good, good!" It's all up to you! What fish do you want to eat? Thinking of making fish, and the Mu Fei who pretended to be an ancient, she smiled smartly: "I'll make you a fish you've never eaten before, okay?" ”

Ou Qingjin drank the sobering soup with her hand, put his head in her arms and refused to move, and said sullenly: "As long as you make it, even if it is a toad, I will eat it." ”

Xia Ruixi raised his eyebrows: "Really? So I asked someone to catch a toad? I've heard that as long as you carefully remove that layer of skin, the meat of the toad is very tender. Put a few green peppers and stir-fry, what do you think? ”

Ou Qingjin snorted and pinched her little waist: "You still listen to the wind and rain?" I want to eat fried stones, you go and fry them for me, remember that the spicy must be flavorful. ”

Xia Ruixi smiled: "There are no fried stones, but you can consider making a special one for the fish, I guarantee that you haven't eaten it." "Ou Qingjin's appetite is not very good during this time, she has lost weight, and there are a lot of sauerkraut in the kitchen, so she will make a sauerkraut fish, which is sour and spicy, very appetizing, and can let him eat more. What's more, since she came here, she had never seen such a dish as sauerkraut fish, so she just wanted to test Mu Fei's reaction.

"Hee-hee." Ou Qingjin saw the smile on her face, but her eyes didn't know where to go, and tentatively called her for the rest of her life, hugged her tightly, and whispered: "It's useless to be a scholar, I'm not good at martial arts, I'm a half-ass, I can't farm, I can't make a living, do you think I'm useless?" If one day, my family can't take care of us, I won't do anything. ”

Xia Ruixi said with a straight face: "Shinong Gongshang, you are doing the top thing, and you are doing it very well, but you are limited by the environment, so you can't fly high." You are smart, talented, and have a good character, and it's too late for me to respect you and love you, how can I think you're useless? That fish pond, I'm just talking on paper, and you are doing all the other real work, without you, where can you start work so quickly? So which one do you have seven points of credit, I only have one point, and two points, which belong to Mu Fei. Without the valve he designed, we don't know how many detours we would have to take. ”

Her pain, his struggles, and his efforts were all in her eyes, so how could she dislike him? It's not terrible to not know how to do it, but it's terrible to know that you can't, and you still don't want to learn, you don't want to work hard, but you always complain about this and that.

After receiving her affirmation, Ou Qingjin's eyes regained their brilliance, and said shyly: "Actually, I was uncomfortable all the time ago. On the one hand, he was ashamed that he was a little jealous of his wife, and on the other hand, he felt that his wife was really fortunate to be so smart and capable, but thinking that he was useless, it was difficult to hide his frustration, and he was faintly worried that Xia Ruixi would look down on him because of this.

"Huh?" Xia Ruixi took a horn comb, broke his hair, and massaged him.

Ou Qing lowered his eyelids and whispered ashamedly: "I think I am a man, and the responsibility of supporting the family should be borne by me, you are a woman, you know everything, why don't I understand?" I want to surpass you, so 。。。。。。 ”
