In the end, Wanyan used the greatest willpower in her life to restrain her urge to beat the four treasures and push her to Lin Xi.

He said expressionlessly: "For the sake of her being Shen Chen's child, stop her mouth and don't give her a chance to do it alone." ”

Lin Xi looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at Sibao who was holding a box of head flowers, and for some reason, he pulled Sibao to sit opposite Wanyan to eat.

Sibao put the beautiful beads in the bottom of the box, and said generously to Wanyan: "It's okay, my mother said to be a generous person, Sibao forgive the beautiful uncle for not admitting that you need to lie about the head flower." ”

Wan Yan pinched off his chopsticks.

Lin Xi's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly stuffed a bun for Sibao, "Good, eat first." ”

Sibao nodded obediently.

Shen Chen said lightly: "Chopsticks are very expensive, remember to pay before leaving." ”

"Shen Chen!" Wan Yan said angrily, "How did you become so disgusting now!" ”

Shen Chen said: "There is no need to praise. ”

After Yan endured the humiliation, he got up and went to find a new pair of chopsticks.

He deeply realized that he must return to the south as soon as possible, and he could not stay any longer. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him not to let himself be angry enough to provoke Daqin.

After eating, Wanyan said, "I heard that there is a Huming Mountain nearby, come with me." ”

Shen Chen hummed, "Wait." ”

Wan Yan: "What do you do?" Aren't you all done? I'll chop it for you, and I'll pick it up for you, you're ......."

"Wash the dishes."

Shen Chen naturally took away the dishes and chopsticks.

Wan Yan felt that he had misheard, "What did you say?" ”

Shen Chen came back to wipe the table, "Are you blind?" Unseen? ”

Wan Yan was incredulous: "This kind of chores, you actually did it yourself?" Stop it! Your hand is used to carry a sword and command the three armies......"

"Shut up."

Shen Chen caught a glimpse of Lin Xi coming out and interrupted Yan Yan's words.

He quickly cleaned up and went to wash the dishes.

Wanyan couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to go over, when he saw Lin Xi walk up to Shen Chen's side and said to him, "You guys have to go ahead of time, I'll just wash the dishes." I don't think I'm going to go out today. ”

Shen Chen saw that there were not many dishes and chopsticks to be washed, so he hummed, turned back to Wan Yan and said, "Let's go." ”

Wan Yan snorted impatiently.

The two left side by side.

Lin Xi sat down thoughtfully and washed the dishes.

Lin Xi really didn't plan to go to the county in the next few days, and after finishing the sundries, he began to study how to make half-finished dishes, and finally ordered a few simple dishes. It took Lin Xi a lot of time to brew the vegetable soup cubes, and it wasn't until the afternoon that she figured out the general method.

In the evening, Shen Chen returned.

Lin Xi saw that he was not finished, and asked, "That southern barbarian is gone?" ”

Shen Chen bowed.

Lin Xi was a little curious: "How did you persuade him to leave?" ”

Shen Chen said: "I beat him." ”

Lin Xi: "Really?!" ”

"Fake." Shen Chen said, sitting down and drinking a glass of water, "In fact, he really can't stay any longer." I went to Huming Mountain with him, and Yan Zhong's people brought news that something had happened in Nanban. If he didn't want to lose control and understanding of the Nanban territory at this time, he had to go back. ”

Lin Xi asked, "So he came here for you, what do you mean?" ”

Shen Chen explained: "You know, I stayed in the capital. When I went to the capital immediately, there was a palace change in the capital, and many people had accidents. At that time, I was a man who was seriously wounded, and I was sure to die in the eyes of many. Later, the imperial court did pronounce my death. ”

"And Wanyan, I'm in ...... I met when I traveled to Nanban. He also thought I was dead. He came to the territory of Daqin to do something, and accidentally found me here, so he stayed for a while. He thought," Shen Chen paused, as if looking for a suitable excuse, "He thought that the court forced me to deliberately fake my death and wanted me to return to the court." In this way, he will find the court more interesting. Otherwise, it's too easy for him to get started. ”

Lin Xi was a little incomprehensible.

Isn't that the equivalent of trying to find an enemy for yourself?

"Then you, do you want to go back to the capital?"

Shen Chen shook his head without hesitation: "I am very satisfied with the days here, and I don't have to go back to Beijing to find troubles." ”

Lin Xi didn't ask anymore and said, "Let's eat stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots, cabbage vermicelli and hot and sour shredded potatoes tonight." Tomorrow I have to go to the county to see if Zhao Dequan has found a good worker, but I don't go to the store, and I will come back quickly. ”

Shen Chen hummed, and said softly: "Then I'll cook tonight." I already know how to do these dishes. ”

"Really? Then I'll wait. Lin Xi smiled, and watched Shen Chen enter the stove room, and the smile disappeared in an instant.

Lin Xi thought it was strange.

What kind of position did Shen Chen have to be in the past to get to know the people of the Nanban royal family? Still so familiar?

Moreover, she has not forgotten what Wanyan said yesterday. He said "Shen Chen is still alive", and he was very angry. Why would he take it for granted that Shen Chen had died before?

She remembered that Shen Chen just said that someone helped him escape from death row in the capital. Since this is the case, didn't anyone find out that Shen Chen was not dead, but had fled?

If anyone knows, why did the imperial court announce that Shen Chen was dead?

Lin Xi intuitively felt that something was not quite right, and wanted to find out, but suddenly remembered the scene when he knew that Shen Chen was poisoned. At the time, she didn't feel it, but now that she thinks about it, she feels that Shen Chen was in a very dangerous state at that time. That kind of decadence and dead sink is also the Shen Chen she saw when she first wore a book.

If she chases and asks, she believes that Shen Chen will not hide it from her, but in that case, Shen Chen will be very painful to unravel the previous scars, right?

Lin Xi sat quietly until Erbao and the others ran in from outside, excitedly asking Lin Xi to see the fish they caught by the river.

Lin Xi suddenly figured it out. Shen Chen's past, she didn't participate, and there was no need to think about it; Their future is what she should strive to protect and maintain.

Sometimes it's a joy to know less.

"Are you getting your clothes wet again? How many times have you said that you can't go to the river alone, what if you fall into the water? Lin Xi got up and walked to the children.

Erbao put down the box containing the fish and said, "Mother, we are very careful, it will be fine." ”

"That's not good, next time I go, I have to find my father and mother to accompany me, remember?" Lin Xi said as he took them to the house.

Seeing that the four treasures were dirty, Lin Xi exploded: "Two treasures, three treasures!" Didn't you take a good look at your sister and let her fall into the mud puddle! ”

Sibao shook his head: "No, no!" The four treasures are obedient and are waiting by the river. ”

"Huh?"

"Waiting to catch the loaches." Sibao shook his hand full of mud and said weakly.

Shen Chen, who came out to wash vegetables, listened to the noise in the house, and unconsciously laughed in a low voice.

Thinking of Wanyan, Shen Chen's smile disappeared, and his brows gradually furrowed.
