Chapter 31

It's a pity that whether it is the amount of health he needs or the energy liquid that the Purple Spirit Tree needs, the upper limit per day is twelve.

Therefore, eighty or ninety is not good - the number is not enough, and the indicators are wasted;

Thirteen or fourteen is okay - but it is useless to say more, and it is equally wasteful.

But how could Ning Xian let Shen Lexi know this?

He walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, personally held it and handed it to Shen Lexi: "Don't worry." Come, first drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat. ”

The young man's voice is ethereal and mellow, and people can't help but relax when they listen to it, but a face that has brought disaster to the country and the people makes people's blood gush.

It's so hot at a young age, and it's okay to grow up!

Shen Lexi only felt smoke in his throat and eyes, and hurriedly took water to extinguish the fire.

When she finished drinking, Ning Xian explained slowly: "Because there are twelve hours in a day, the number of times corresponds. At the same time, it also shows that you are thinking about me and thinking about me from morning to night, every hour. You see, what a good meaning, I was very moved when I heard it...... Don't look at me with such questioning eyes. In doing so, I am the one who sacrifices the most. What do you say, Sister Shen? ”

“……”

Shen Lexi looked at Ning Xian's perfect face that could barely find a flaw, and then thought about his identity, and choked.

That's right, in this transaction, if you want to talk about sacrifice, it is really Ning Xian's sacrifice that is the greatest, after all, he is the prince of the dignified country, and his own conditions are also outstanding, so people can't find the slightest deficiency, such a good man, marrying a daughter-in-law is not as simple as eating and drinking, but it is definitely not related to difficult words.

And she is different.

She's from a different plane. Here, she has no home, no relatives, and no friends, and when she walks out of the Guogong Mansion, I am afraid that the only thing that can accept her is the broken temple outside the city.

Ning Xian was able to cooperate with her when she was most helpless and provide her with a place to stay, and she was really grateful to the other party from the bottom of her heart.

But this sister Shen ...... Shen Lexi, who was twenty-six years old, had a hot face and a sense of shame of forcibly pretending to be tender.

Especially in front of Ning Xian, who is not yet eighteen years old.

However, the age of her current body is really younger than Ning Xian - three months younger.

So Ning Xian called her Sister Shen, in essence, there was nothing wrong with it at all.

Forget it, Sister Shen will be Sister Shen, and pretend that she is underage.

Shen Lexi snorted awkwardly, thought about it, and said seriously: "Thank you, Ning Xian." ”

Ning Xian: "......"

Such a sudden solemnity made Ning Xian stunned, and the fingers that were going to pick her chin were also frozen half a centimeter away from her jaw and could not continue.

Shen Lexi said again: "Thank you for saving me and being willing to take me in." I'm grateful. It's true. ”

She looked at Ning Xian quietly, and her dark eyes reflected the other party's complicated face.

Ning Xian was a little distracted, and suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago.

When he arrived at Shen's house that day, the woman was being hit by her two own brothers on the wall, like a little rabbit pressed on the ground by a vicious wolf and trampled on her head, extremely helpless.

If he had gone one step later that day, he was afraid that she would have already been buried in the ground, right?

It's pitiful to have a brother like this.

Ning Xian sighed.

Think about the design at the flower banquet half a year ago...... Ning Xian felt that this woman was even more pitiful.

That's it, they're all poor people, if he can take care of her in the future, he will try to take care of her as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Ning Xian extinguished his interest in teasing Shen Lexi, withdrew his restless finger, straightened his body, and said coldly and detachedly: "You're welcome." We just need each other. You have a good rest. ”

With that, he turned and left.

This Shen Lexi looked at his stiff back and shook his head and smiled-stinky boy, can't you talk well, what kind of coldness. Duplicity is a disease that can be cured.

Although she could no longer see the barrage above Ning Xian's head and could not read his inner activities, she could still see the strength of words and colors.

She saw it clearly just now, and when she said to him, "Thank you for taking me in", the other party's face was obviously moved.

There was pity in her eyes...... Uh, mercy?

Shen Lexi frowned, his teeth left a few bite marks on his lips, chewed on these two words carefully, and then smiled bitterly - being designed like this by her dear brother, Miss Shen really deserves the pity of others.

I don't know if the two brothers of the Shen family ran away in fear.

It's better to have run away.

Otherwise, the next time they meet, Shen Lexi really can't guarantee that she won't be able to control and bite these two brothers to death.

Just as he was thinking, Hearts came in with the diners.

Shen Lexi saw that her body was covered with a thin layer of snow, and said angrily: "It's snowing outside? Why don't you know how to hold an umbrella? ”

"Don't be afraid, the maid is in good health, and a little snow won't get in the way." Red Heart laughed.

The little maid put the food box on the table, looked outside and said, "Tomorrow is the New Year, this should be the last snow of the year, and it will be drenched, otherwise we will have to wait until next year." ”

He said: "Princess, it's getting dark outside, why don't you get up?" Not to mention the cold, I'm afraid that before the clothes are warmed, I will have to undress and sleep again. ”

Shen Lexi nodded: "Okay, then let's eat it in bed." ”

Eat and go back to sleep.

Although she slept for so many days, in the days when she was asleep, thanks to her dreams, her brain was not idle for a moment, either she was chased by Ning Xian to ask her to compensate her daughter-in-law, or she was caught in the sea of fire, and finally staged a poignant love of life and death in the sea of fire...... The whole process is tense and the level of exertion is comparable to moving bricks.

What's more, if she, the master, does not lie down and rest, the loyal heart will definitely not leave her and run to sleep by herself.

Shen Lexi looked at the two big black circles under the hearts of hearts.

How long she fell asleep, the hearts stayed up for as long as she could, and the little girl should have a good rest.

Sure enough, after the two finished eating, without saying a few words, Red Heart fell asleep on the edge of her bed.

Like a kitten, curled up in a ball, with a thin snoring sound coming out of its little nose.

Shen Lexi hugged her to bed distressedly.

The next day was the New Year.

No matter what time and space, wherever there are descendants of Yan and Huang live, the year is a big festival.

The Dingguo Mansion is naturally no exception.

In addition, it is rare for Dingguo Gong Ning Yuan to stay in Beijing for a New Year, and even the Dingguo Duchess Jiang, who has been forbidden to be with the Buddha Hall for many years and is dedicated to burning incense and chanting, also opened the door of the Buddha Hall for the first time and came out to spend the reunion with her family.

Therefore, the old lady worked hard to make this New Year's festival lively.

It just happens to be able to use this to flush out the bad luck in the house.

Early in the morning, the old lady's Xihe Garden was lively, and Chunyan led a group of maids and women to hang lanterns and paste Spring Festival couplets...... It's not good to be busy, but I can't turn into three heads and six arms.

But busy is busy, and the mood is flying.

Chunyan glanced into the hall of the main house, and saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking happily inside, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook.

The earth dragon in the hall is burning very strongly, the cold outside is eroding the bones, but the hall is warm like spring, the old lady is whispering something in the ear of a middle-aged beautiful woman, the middle-aged beautiful woman heard it, and was surprised and delighted, as if she couldn't believe it, she had to ask: "Mother, is this true?" ”
